Chapter 19: The Head of the House

To the south of the Song family, there is a place with an endless mountain forest in its back, and a clear meandering river running through it, everything here is full of life, full of greenery, the occasional birdsong is heard, and the rest is comforting and peaceful.

A small mansion was built here, with a history of hundreds of years, this is the inner mansion of the head of the Song family, and the people who live here are the head of the Song family, Song Yi's grandfather, Song Cang.

An old man who speaks the same in the Song family.

After escorting Song You to the family's general torture room, Song Yi followed Song Qing here, because of the identity of the hall master, so the road was unimpeded, and arrived at the main gate of the head of the family's mansion, Song Yi probably glanced around, this family owner's mansion covers an area of at least tens of thousands of square meters, and the internal architecture of the house is also more exquisite than most of the houses in the Ming Hall, compared to the living standard of this world, this is already a huge villa, different from other places of the Song family, the tranquility here is very suitable for the elderly to cultivate themselves.

"Yi'er, when I meet my grandfather and his old man, be careful not to talk nonsense, if there is anything you want to say to him, try to make it easy to understand. Before entering the inner mansion of the head of the family, Song Qing specially told Song Yi, he had heard too much of Song Yi's inferences and analyses in the past two days.

"Well, I know, you can tell me about Song You's affairs, and Song Tianyuan's affairs will be left to me. Song Yi nodded, followed Song Qing, and went to the house where Song Cang's grandfather lived most often, but found that his old man was not there, so Song Qing called a slave and asked him to inform Song Cang of his arrival.

Before coming, Song Yi tried to meet Song Cang's grandfather by sorting out the memories in his mind, but he couldn't remember anything, indicating that the original owner of this body did not often deal with this old man, but even if he didn't know what Song Cang's grandfather looked like, Song Yi could now write out what kind of person this grandfather was by virtue of the arrangement of his house and various signs.

The placement in the room is very regular, there is almost no dust, there is a stack of white paper and pen and ink grinding inkstone on a table, on which are some words written with an ink pen, Song Yi glanced at it, sure that it is not a poem, nor is it a very beautiful font, judging from the dryness of the handwriting, Song Cang's grandfather should write here every day, the time is morning, he is a person who is enjoying his old age, but this daily routine makes him feel more and more bored.

Furthermore, if he is still cultivating, then a person of the level of his grandfather should often retreat and cultivate, so that it is impossible for him to write here every day, which shows that he is no longer as hard at cultivating as a young person and wants to reach a higher level, he feels that he has reached the limit of his cultivation path.

Other than that... Grandfather may have been a bit lonely, and although he had a large number of children and grandchildren, these people did not come to visit him often, and even if they did, it was for some family matter.

"Dad, now that my grandfather and his old man don't meddle in the family's affairs?" Song Yi asked Song Qing.

Hearing Song Yi say this, Song Qing also frowned: "Where did you hear this news?"

Song Yi walked to the table with pen, ink, paper and inkstone: "Grandfather, he writes here every morning, the font is very casual, not serious, the width of the handwriting is very large, but there is no spirit, which means that he is purely here to pass the time, so I think that if grandfather is still meddling in the affairs of the family, he will definitely not be so idle to pass the time." ”

Song Qing was slightly shocked in his heart, this can also be seen, but he still glanced at Song Yi: "What did you just say? How can you guess the thoughts of grandfather and his old man?"

Song Yi shrugged helplessly.

"It's coming. ”

Song Qing suddenly raised his eyebrows, he looked outside the house, and saw that in the air not far away, an old figure in white slowly floated like a fairy descending, he didn't step on the object that supported his body, he just put his hands behind his back, and flew lightly.

If such a scene appears on the earth, even if the concept of science has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, a large number of people will inevitably fall down quickly, if it is not a trick, this is undoubtedly the god descending to earth, but in this world where most of the people are cultivating vitality, this kind of thing can actually be done as long as the strength reaches a certain level.

Walking in the sky is the sign of the Tongxuan realm, among the countless cultivators, the person who can reach this level can be said to be one in ten thousand, even Song Qing, who is already over half a hundred years old now, is only the middle level of the Tongxuan realm, and there is still a long way to go from the Tongxuan realm.

"I've seen the head of the house. Looking at the white-clothed old man flying by, Song Qing hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully, he glanced at Song Yi beside him again: "Yi'er, haven't you seen your grandfather soon?"

When Song Yi heard this, he immediately stepped forward and saluted like Song Qing, and it seemed that this old man in white was the highest leader of the Song family today.

"Yi'er has also grown up, let's talk about something in the house. The old man in white who came over landed in front of the house, he glanced at Song Qing and Song Yi, and then walked directly into the house, and Song Qing and the two turned around to follow.

In the simple room, Song Yi and Song Qing were sitting on the ground, while Song Cang was sitting opposite them.

"Family master, in the past few days..."Song Qing first wanted to tell Song Cang what had happened in the past two days, after all, the latter had not interfered in the family's internal affairs for a long time, and in such a quiet place, he might not know what was going on.

"I don't need to repeat this to me, I already know it. To Song Qing's surprise, Song Cang interrupted him: "Song Yang came to me once in the morning and told me about Yi'er's assassination, I was also a little worried, but this time Yi'er was fine, and Song Yang told me that the murderer had been caught last night." ”

Song Qing was slightly stunned, he was not surprised that Song Cang had a channel to learn about this news, but he didn't expect that this matter was actually said by Song Yang in the morning, Song Yang is the hall master of the Honghao Hall, he took the initiative to come to Song Cang to tell him about this matter, what did he have in mind?

"In short, this matter can be regarded as dangerous, and the vigilance of the Ming Hall will be strengthened a lot in the future, and nothing like this has happened in the other four halls. Song Cang said to Song Qing, and Song Yi on the side could hear that the former seemed to have something to say, but he didn't explain it.

"Well, I've asked Song Wu and them to step up their patrols during the curfew period, in case this kind of thing won't happen again in the future. Song Qing could only accept it and accept Song Cang's criticism.

"Then you came to me with Yi'er this time, but what else do you want to tell me?" Song Cang could see that Song Qing definitely didn't come to tell him about Song Yi's assassination this time.

After Song Cang asked this question, Song Qing also glanced at Song Yi beside him, and then he said:

"The one who attacked Yi'er... It's Song You. ”

Song Qing's words fell, and the whole room fell into silence, for Song Cang, he seemed to doubt his ears, the old brows frowned, and Song Qing was silent.

"What did you just say?" In order to make sure that he had heard correctly, Song Cang really asked again.

Song Qing took a deep breath and said, "The murderer is Song You, Song You, who became the butler of the Ming Horn Hall four years ago. ”

"What's going on?" Song Cang became serious.

At this point, Song Qing could only tell Song Cang about the matter: "Now we suspect that Song You's son was not killed on the battlefield four years ago, but was captured by the people of the Wang family, and used this as a threat to turn Song You into their pawn, he has been lurking in the Ming Hall for four years, if it weren't for Yi'er this time, we wouldn't even suspect him, in that case, no one knows what he will do in the future." ”

"Yi'er, Song You was discovered by him?" Song Cang looked at Song Yi and asked.

Song Yi nodded, just now Song Qing had already explained Song You's problem, so it was time for him to come and say to Song Cang: "Grandfather, we came to you this time mainly to discuss something with you. ”

"What's the matter?" Song Cang asked.

Song Yi said: "We want to rescue Song Tianyuan. ”

"Yi'er. On the side, Song Qing couldn't help but touch Song Yi with his shoulder, although the main purpose of coming this time was to talk about this matter, but Song Yi was too direct like this.

However, hearing what Song Yi said, Song Cang smiled: "Oh, Yi'er, how do you want to rescue Song Tianyuan?"

At this time, Song Yi didn't care about Song Qing's various requirements for him to come here, and he said directly: " Judging from the current situation, if we ask the Wang family directly, then Song Tianyuan is undoubtedly dead, because once the Wang family hands over someone, it is equivalent to admitting that the people of the Song family have been kidnapped for four years, which is a huge provocation for the Song family, and since they can endure such a mysterious plan for four years, they will definitely not do such an impulsive thing, so if we really ask the Wang family for someone, then they will undoubtedly execute Song Tianyuan immediately, and then erase all traces and claim that we are framing their reputation。 ”

"That's right, in that case, are you going to form a team and infiltrate the Wang family to save people?" asked Song Cang.

"This plan is not feasible, because since Song You is a spy of the Wang family, then the news that he was arrested last night will immediately reach the ears of the Wang family through other spies lurking in the family, and the Wang family who learned the news will definitely find a way to get rid of the relationship with this matter immediately, they will immediately erase all traces of Song Tianyuan, and the speed is very fast, and when we find out the internal situation of the Wang family and go to save people, Song Tianyuan is already dead. Song Yi said.

Song Cang frowned: "This is not good for the Wang family, nor can we save people in secret, but you can tell me, how can we save people?"

Hearing this, Song Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said lightly:

"There's only one way. ”
