But the news from Xiao Heng's side is not so fast, and at present, his energy can only be focused on the cantonment camp.

Not to mention anything else, staying in the cavalry battalion, the cavalry and archery skills have at least improved a lot, and I also know a little bit about the characteristics of combat outside the border - Xu Kun is not a small person, in addition to acting upright, in fact, he has an advantage that he is not a small weapon, as long as you are willing to learn, as long as it does not involve secrets, he is willing to say.

So everyone gradually warmed up with him, and from his description of a few words, they also got a glimpse of the style of the border camp at the border, and they were all eager to try. But at this time, he would pour a basin of cold water coldly: "Fighting is not a fun thing, if you want to go sightseeing, then it is best to choose another time." ”

Fortunately, everyone is the son of an officer, and they all obey military orders when they enter the camp, and they don't think they are angry.

Xiao Heng visited secretly for a few days in a row, and Peng Yin reported news from time to time, some of which were useful and some of which were useless, which was also expected.

In the evening of this day, Peng Yin walked around and came back, and said: "I heard that there are still some old things in the old mansion of the Xu family, many of which are some relics that Sun Peng collected from the Xu family for Xu Qian in the past, maybe you can visit it at night." ”

Xiao Heng closed the book in his hand: "Is there anyone in the house?" ”

"Because there are nothing too valuable, there is only an old woman to guard the door."

Xiao Heng thought for a moment and said, "Let's take a look, it's better than nothing." ”

Peng Yin walked to the door, stopped, and then retreated: "Qin Zhi'an has a letter, saying that Yan Tang has led his troops to find out several contact points suspected of handing over the news of the Wura people a few days ago, and Zhao Yin is about to be unable to bear it.

"The emperor promoted Yan Tang's military position, and now in addition to the title, he is also the general Jianwei of the court. If it is finally found out that the cause of Niangniang's death is really related to Yantang's mother, then ......"

He didn't say the rest.

Xiao Heng also has no interface.

The nobles of the imperial court are nobles, and the descendants of the descendants have a salary even if they do not join the army, and the military positions are different, and they cannot be mentioned if they have no merits.

was promoted to a military general from the first rank, and with the imperial order he won in the school field before, this means that he already has the qualifications to be a commander.

He knew what Peng Yin wanted to say, if Concubine Shen's death had nothing to do with Yan Tang's mother, then he couldn't let it go. But if there is a ......

He was silent for a long time, then turned his head and said, "It's almost dark, you don't go yet, what are you waiting for?" ”

Peng Yin bowed his head and retired.

…… As soon as Qi Mi went to the room with everyone for dinner, Xing Shuo made a look and called her outside.

"The spies reported that Peng Yin had wandered around the Xu family's old house two or three times in the past two days, and he went out again just now, I don't know if he wanted to beat their house."

"What's in the house?"

"I heard that they are just some daily necessities, and there shouldn't be anything of value, but there is only an old woman guarding the house, so they should want to take the opportunity to take a look."

"Then you can see for yourself." Qi said.

I'm afraid the people I found don't have that kind of kung fu. Besides, if they find something, ordinary people will definitely not be able to catch it. Xing Shuo went, which was naturally different.

"That's what I meant." Xing Shuo said, "You wait for my news!" ”

……

The old house of the Xu family is in Nanping Town, which is seven or eight miles away from the town where Xiao Heng and the others are staying now.

Both of them are not bad in martial arts, leaving the guards and riding to Nanping Town, first looking for a shop and asking for a room, and then going out through the window and finding the Xu family's house about half a mile away from the town. At night, the village is only dotted with a few dim lights, and the Xu family is in the middle of several ancestral houses of the gentry, although there are three entrances, but it is not special.

There was a light in the front yard, and when the sound of the lock came, and then when the light went out, the two of them turned into the main courtyard, quietly entered the inside, and looked up.

In the dim light of the night pearl in his hand, he could see that the three rooms in the main courtyard were very empty, except for a few bare pieces of furniture, only a few large boxes were placed in the west side of the room. Opening the lid of the box, the musty smell came to his nose, Xiao Heng frowned, and watched Peng Yin pick out the things one by one.

Sure enough, it's some men's stuff. Clothes, shoes, and some martial arts-related books and picture albums are very common.

Xiao Heng squatted down, rested the Night Pearl on the short stool, rolled up his sleeves, and looked at these objects with his eyebrows.

"Are you sure these are left by the Xu family?"

"Sure." Peng Yin nodded solemnly, "This is from the mouths of the nurse and the bookkeeper at the same time." said that Xu's mother had explained that these things belonged to her deceased husband, and Xu Lingying also said that these things could not be moved, and they had to be kept. Moreover, Xu Lingying's identity has been made public, if it is not Xu Qian's, there is no point in keeping it. ”

Xiao Heng raised his eyebrows and looked at his clothes, and then looked at some silver cups and wine gourds inside. said: "The texture of the clothes is not cheap, and these cups and whips are all exquisitely made." The monthly salary of the palace guards was only twenty taels of silver a month. It seems that Sun Peng said that he was very useful by his father's side back then, which is true. ”

All officials in the imperial court have rules, and the difference between rich and poor is just based on the amount of oil and water they get every day.

"Since he is reused, the emperor should not kill him casually. What really happened twenty years ago? Peng Yin's brows furrowed.

"Either to extinguish the mouth, or to be touched to the bottom line. You should know that some people are too spoiled, and they will be pampered. Xiao Heng said as he raised his eyes and looked ahead: "Open them all and take a look." ”

The remaining boxes are mostly clothes and daily necessities.

Xiao Heng looked at them one by one, and finally took a fan and unfolded it in his hand, looking.

There is no obvious mark on the fan, and it will naturally not fall any handle when it was incognito.

But this bone is made of excellent agarwood wood, and even after many years, it is still worth a lot.

The point is, the process of making this fan is not like that of the north.

"Xu Qian has been to Jiangnan?"

Peng Yin paused: "How can you see it?" ”

Xiao Heng repeatedly contemplated this fan: "This fan is from the famous time-honored brand 'Xue Yan Zhai' in the south, and it is this kind of paper that King Jialing sent me to make a fan last time." Due to the complicated workmanship procedures, Xue Yanzhai's paper products are not sold in Jiang, Xu Qian is a military general, and it is unlikely that someone will send him a fan.

"And the place name in the inscription on the fan is also a small city in the south of the Yangtze River."

Peng Yin was puzzled: "He is the emperor's close attendant, even if the emperor was still the crown prince twenty years ago, it is impossible for him to leave the lord and go to the south, is it possible that the time when the emperor disappeared went to Jiangnan?" ”

Xiao Heng pondered for a long time and closed the fan: "It's hard to be sure." But this fan can at least show that Xu Qian may have been a little involved with the people in Jiangnan. ”
