(Thank you for the monthly pass reward gift from fishtank, and thank you for the reward from Chengfeng Shepherd.) Chapter 241

Wan Biao, the head of the Dongchang cavalry, was furious when he heard the news, and he cried and found Qiu Ju, the commander of the East Factory, and asked Qiu Ju to be his master and avenge his father's death.

Qiu Ju immediately reported to Liu Jin when he heard this, Liu Jin was furious, in his opinion, Song Nan's move was a naked declaration of war on himself, although the two had torn their faces, but they always thought that they had taken the initiative completely, and they could go to Song Nan for trouble, but Song Nan must not find trouble for himself, but obviously Song Nan didn't think so.

Liu Jin wanted to immediately mobilize the people to go to the Jinyi Guard Yamen to settle accounts with Song Nan, but after a night of calm, Liu Jin decided to figure out the original story of the matter, and find out the ins and outs of this matter.

Liu Jin called Shi Wenyi and asked him to go to Beizhen Fusi in the name of an official to review the evidence of the case to see if Song Nan had mishandled it; However, Shi Wenyi left violently, but he tilted his head and came back.

The joint confessions of hundreds of villagers are clearly written, and tens of thousands of people have been killed and injured in Wanjiazhuang, seized property, seized people's wives and daughters, and attempted to resist arrest and assassinate Jinyiwei officials. Hundreds of red handprints were pressed on the back of the confession, which was shocking, Liu Jin was also silent, Song Nan didn't even need to provide other evidence and testimony, just this joint eyewitness testimony of hundreds of people was enough for Song Nan to kill Wan Qi and his minions on the spot.

What's more, with Shi Wenyi's continuous confessions of Mrs. Wan Jue and her family's minions, they all confirmed that the testimony of the people was not false, and Liu Jin had no way to start.

This case is already an iron case, Wan Jue's death is self-inflicted, no matter how unwilling Liu Jin is, he can only choose to give up making a fuss about this matter.

Liu Jin still knows something about Song Nan, and he is also jealous of Song Nan in his heart, whether it is to bring down Fan Heng and Wang Yue or the impeachment of the ministers, it proves that Song Nan is not a soft persimmon, but a tiger who will bite back at any time. If you want to deal with Song Nan, you must have conclusive evidence, so that Song Nan has no power to fight back, even if the emperor wants to shelter, there is no reason to do it. If the tiger is not captured, it will be injured by the tiger, and Liu Jin will never do it.

Although Wan Biao was furious and wanted to take people to Fusi Yamen in Beizhen several times to make trouble, Liu Jin told Qiu Ju to restrain Wan Biao's behavior, and this matter ended here, and he couldn't trap himself in a disadvantageous place. In order to appease Wan Biao, Qiu Ju promoted him to the third head of Dongchang, and sternly warned him that he could not bear to make a big plan, and one day he would avenge his father's murder.

Wan Biao was helpless, so he looked for an opportunity in private, and he asked several good men in Dongchang to monitor Song Nan's whereabouts, intending to secretly attack; It's a pity that Song Nan is no longer as careless as before, not only did he not give them a chance to start, but on the contrary, the people sent there were two times and were almost captured by Song Nan, Qiu Ju, who learned of this, scolded Wan Biao and threatened him with dismissal, which forced Wan Biao to stop his actions against Song Nan.

Suddenly, after the Dragon Boat Festival, the spring is strong, accompanied by the fragrance of locust flowers, and the weather is gradually getting hotter.

Song Nan lazily leaned on the recliner on the grass on the chair, squinted and enjoyed the spring light, and there was fruit and tea on the white round table beside him, and the breeze blew, as if living in a painting.

A wisp of flute sound came into her ears, Song Nan didn't need to look at it to know that it was Dai Su'er playing the flute in the pavilion above, Dai Su'er was no longer as melancholy and sad as when she first came, in the comfortable life of the Song Mansion, the pain in her heart gradually healed, and she was no longer lonely and avoided the Song family, and gradually integrated into the Song Mansion.

With Lu Qingli's liveliness and sociability, she naturally became good sisters with Dai Su'er who talked about everything, and the two often snickered behind their backs, glancing at Song Nan, Song Nan suspected that Lu Qingli was open-mouthed, and told Dai Su'er about some of his outrageous behaviors as jokes, but Song Nan was an open-minded person and would not care about this.

There was a coquettish cry under the swing frame, which made Dai Su'er's flute sound stop abruptly, Song Nan hurriedly got up and looked, only to see Lu Qingli climbing up from the grass with a piece of cyan grass juice on the pomegranate skirt.

Song Nan laughed and said, "Qingli is flying in the clouds again? If you don't fall a few times a day, you won't be at ease. ”

Lu Qingli herself was amused, pouting and said, "Break the swing, break the swing." ”

Song Nan walked over to remove the grass from her sideburns and said with a smile: "You still blame the swing for not being good, every time you have to swing to the highest place, you will naturally wrestle." ”

Lu Qingli was speechless, holding Song Nan's arm, limping to the edge of the chair and sitting down, taking Song Nan's teacup and taking a few sips, taking a breath.

Dai Su'er on the pavilion walked slowly in white to check, and when she saw that Lu Qingli was fine, she turned around and walked away, Song Nan hurriedly said, "Sit down, I have something to tell you." ”

Dai Su'er sat down and pinned the jade flute to the ribbon around her waist, Song Nan couldn't help but look at her beautiful face, sighed and said: "This time is very leisurely, but unfortunately the good days are coming to an end." ”

Lu Qingli said: "What's wrong?" ”

Song Nan said: "Yesterday, the emperor summoned me, and the emperor personally patrolled the border, and he asked me to accompany him, hey, this road is not so comfortable." ”

Lu Qingli was stunned and said, "The emperor is on patrol? This emperor is really, is there still a small entourage on patrol? Why do you want your husband to accompany you? How many days are you going? ”

Song Nan said: "You don't understand, this is called the emperor's grace; Besides, the emperor doesn't want to make a big deal about this trip, otherwise the ministers of the court and the central government will definitely oppose it, and there are not many people in his entourage; As for the length of time, it's hard to say; The emperor wants to go to Datong, and then go to Xuanfu, an important town in the north, through Datong, which I estimate to be as short as three months and as long as half a year. ”

Dai Su'er sighed softly, and Song Nan said, "What's the matter?" ”

Dai Su'er bowed her head and said, "It's nothing, I just feel that the time seems to be too long, half a year." ”

Lu Qingli had already opened her eyes wide and said, "What? Half? Then I'm going to follow. ”

Song Nan said with a smile: "This is to patrol the border, should you be touring the mountains and rivers?" Sleeping in the open along the way, the hardships are indispensable, but I can't take you there, and besides, if you go with you, who will take care of your mother? Who will take care of the shop? ”

Lu Qingli said: "Then cousin is going to follow?" There may be danger on the way, and my cousin will be able to protect you by following her. ”

Song Nan shook his head and said: "I want her to go with me, but when I think about it, I need Aunt Fang more at home as soon as I leave, and I can feel at ease with her at home, and the young people don't dare to come to the house to disturb me." ”

Lu Qingli said: "But how can you be good if you have no one to take care of?" ”

Song Nan said: "It's okay, it's just that I eat what others eat, and I wear what others wear, and I will also take the personal guards on the road, and they will take care of me." ”

Lu Qingli shook his head and said: "No, half a year is not a few days, the men of the pro-guard team can't take care of people, what if they get sick?" ”

Song Nan smiled and said, "Can't you think about the good?" Why do I get sick? ”

Lu Qingli was speechless, but obviously disagreed with Song Nan's words.

Dai Su'er suddenly said: "Otherwise, the slave family will go with the son, and there will be a response on the way." ”

Song Nan was stunned and said, "You? No, no. ”

Dai Su'er tilted her head and said, "Why not?" ”

Song Nan said: "You may not be able to take care of yourself, and you still take care of me." ”

Dai Su'er said: "Do you look down on people? The slave family is not as delicate as you think, don't believe you to ask Wan'er, what can't the slave family do at home? Besides, Qingli's words just now also reminded me that the slave family has read medical books, and it is inevitable that there will be some small problems when sleeping in the wild, and the slave family will also treat it, and it may come in handy to follow you, but it is useless to stay at home. ”

Song Nan just waved his hand and said: "No, no, how can I let you go with you to suffer, none of the three of you are allowed to go, so stay at home." ”

Dai Su'er looked at Song Nan and said, "The slave family is your slave, isn't it?" ”

Song Nan said: "I didn't treat you as a slave. ”

Dai Su'er said: "But the slave family is always the slave maid of the Song family, this is a fact that cannot be changed, and there is nothing wrong with me going along, so that Sister Ye and Sister Qingli can settle down at home, and you can also go with peace of mind, the slave family can take care of you, and the old lady can rest assured at home; If you don't have time, wouldn't it be nice if I could write home and report that you are safe? ”

Song Nan looked at Lu Qingli, Lu Qingli nodded and said: "Su'er is right, there must be someone to follow, Su'er is actually quite good at taking care of people, I have been in Su'er's room these days, she doesn't know how considerate she is." ”

Song Nan thought for a while and said, "Go back and ask what Aunt Fang means, there are still a few days before I leave, I still have to prepare some accompanying items, and I will decide in the evening; I haven't told the little county lord about this yet, the emperor's whereabouts on this trip are secret, don't tell it. ”

The two girls nodded in agreement, and from Dai Su'er's eager eyes, Song Nan felt a trace of doubt, why did Dai Su'er, who had always been respectful of her, take the initiative to ask Ying to follow her for a long journey? There must be a reason for this.

Zhengde's patrol was extremely secret, and Zhengde knew that such matters could not be discussed with the ministers, and a discussion would be a snowflake of discussion flying up to oppose it, so he also made a prelude to the ministers, preparing to leave an edict to the eunuchs of the inner court, and let the eunuchs officially announce it three days after leaving.

And in the edict also played tricks, this is through Ulzhou to Datong Mansion and then along the south of the Great Wall to Xuanfu inspection route, but the edict is written through Jizhou to Juyongguan inspection route back to Beijing, one to go through a few months, one only needs ten days to return to Beijing, one is to prevent the ministers from chasing to block the car, and the second is to reduce the anger of the ministers in a short number of days.

Everyone tacitly understands that the emperor is patrolling the border this time, but he is just going to visit the mountains and rivers, if he does not return for a few months, the ministers will never agree, but if it is only for ten days, then he can just turn a blind eye.

In order not to be discovered when leaving the city, the entourage could not be fanfare, twenty guards with knives accompanied them, Shi Wenyi took a hundred Han generals, and Liu Jin ordered Qiu Ju to also choose a hundred Dongchang fans; plus more than 40 eunuchs and palace maids who accompanied the escort, there were only more than 200 people in total.

For the sake of secrecy, none of the regimental battalions, the Shenji battalion, and the 3,000 battalions mobilized men and horses to follow, which can really be described as light and simple.
