In King Qi's Mansion, Ji Qinian sat on the throne and unfolded the secret letter, looking at the latest situation about Yangzhou above, he couldn't help frowning, "Come on, call Pei Ze over." ”

"Yes"......

"King Qi, I heard that you are looking for me?"

Glancing sideways at Pei Ze, who would never be respectful and humble, Ji Qinian didn't have the heart to talk to him about etiquette anymore, so he just handed the secret letter to him, and said in a slightly serious tone: "Tian Mansion was attacked by assassins last night, and Lord Tian was killed, and I believe that the news will be transmitted back to the capital soon." ”

Hearing this, Pei Ze raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, and said in disbelief: "This is the third case this month, the people on our side were either referred to the book or killed, I'm afraid this person is not good, has King Qi found out the news of the other party?" ”

"Have you ever heard of Nighthawk?"

"I know a little bit about him, is King Qi suspicious of him?"

"Hmm.... It's not all, he murdered the court officials for no reason, which is not in line with his consistent style among the people. ”

"What does King Qi mean, there is a third group of people among them?"

"Pei Ze" Ji Qinian didn't answer, but just turned around and ordered the people behind him, saying, "Prepare the horses, and go to Yangzhou with me early tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes."

..............

At the same time, Xiao Beichen also received a secret letter in the house, "Wanwan, something happened in Yangzhou!" ”

After receiving the letter he handed over and reading it carefully, Song Wan couldn't help but have a bad premonition, this Lord Tian was killed according to the previous life, there was no such thing, could it be that she came back to change the development of some things and caused the butterfly effect? "Have you found out who is behind the scenes?"

"No, this person is secretive, my people can't find out the news for the time being" After saying that, Xiao Beichen's eyes darkened, and he suddenly remembered, could it be that person made a move?

"It stands to reason that Lord Tian is King Qi's person, and the two have never had conflicts, King Qi should not make a rash move at this time, and the six princes are no longer in trouble, is it" Song Wan had a flash of inspiration and said in surprise: "Is there a third person here?" ”

"Hmm... No matter what, now that we are in the open and the enemy in the dark, we must be careful in everything except to deal with King Qi, otherwise in this situation, it is easy to be used as a sword. ”

"Yes" Song Wan nodded slightly approvingly, no matter who that person was, at least for now, it seemed that this person's spearhead was King Qi, and they could wait and see what happened first.

Just as she was immersed in her thoughts, Xiao Beichen suddenly said: "Wanwan, let's go to Yangzhou, isn't your grandfather's house also there, maybe take this opportunity, you can just go back and see, haven't you seen your grandmother for a long time?" ”

"Yes.... But you're up this way."

"It's okay, this morning, my father has issued a secret decree and sent me over to investigate the matter of Lord Tian, I believe that the news has been transmitted back to the capital soon, and he will give such a direct order."

How quickly it has reached the emperor? This is the most surprising thing for Song Wan, it seems that this matter is indeed not simple..."Okay, I'll go down and prepare first, and we'll set off after a cup of tea.......

Yangzhou is one of the most prosperous areas in the south, where there are traders from all over the world trading and purchasing goods here every day.... There are even festivals held on various festivals, and the people gather together, and the scene is very lively! "It's more prosperous here now than I saw when I was a child, no wonder Yangzhou is a piece of fat, everyone wants to take a piece of the pie, you say" Song Wan put down the curtain on the carriage, turned her head to look at Xiao Beichen, and asked with a little interest: "Who will the imperial court send over to take over as the prefect here this time?" ”

"I don't know, at the beginning, it was just because King Qi had a meritorious role in repelling the enemy that year, so he ambitiously recommended his own people to his father, and this time he finally lacked this large oil field, and others naturally won't let it go, so it's really impossible to say who will take over."

"Xiao Beichen, have you ever thought about Lord Yang Nianli?"

"Wanwan is thinking"

"Well, since King Qi could use merit for personal gain back then, now we can also, although after the last plague, Lord Yang did not clarify his attitude, but rather than King Qi who framed him, maybe he would prefer to choose our side. Moreover, in the eyes of outsiders, Lord Yang has no direct relationship with us, but he can save a lot of suspicion. ”

"Wanwan is right, as soon as this matter is found out and I return to Beijing, I will propose it to my father. However" Xiao Beichen smiled proudly, and then said: "Wanwan is everywhere for me, Xiao is deeply honored, it is better to" He slowly approached her, his tone was half seductive and half serious: "I will go in and propose to your grandmother later, Wanwan you will obey me, how about it?" ”

"Xiao Beichen" Song Wan suddenly pushed his face away with a red face, and said coquettishly: "If you talk nonsense again, I will kick you off the carriage later, and see how you are still a scoundrel." ”

"Huh..... Wanwan"

Before he could finish speaking, a voice came from the front door: "Girl, childe, it's here." ”

Hearing this, Song Wan took the lead in getting out of the carriage with a red face, and she didn't know what good they had done inside.... At least that's what Master Su, who is standing outside the mansion now, thinks so, watching the two of them riding in a carriage together, and his niece is still flushed, no wonder he wants to be crooked, "Wanwan"

Hearing that it was her uncle's voice, Song Wan ran over and shouted crisply: "Uncle, Wanwan is back." ”

"Well, it's good to come back, your grandmother is already waiting for you in the hall" After that, the joy of just smiling was the moment he saw Xiao Beichen also walking over, Master Su suddenly frowned, a bit like an old father protecting a chicken in the middle of the two, and asked out loud: "Who is this son?" ”

"In Xia Xiao Beichen, I have long heard about Master Su's deeds from Wanwan, and this time I am deeply honored to see it."

"Hehe" Master Su smirked, still looking at the visitor with scrutinizing eyes. Seeing this, Song Wan avoided attracting more attention outside, so she could only pull the sleeve of Master Lasu, and said: "Uncle, Xiao Bei, Eh, Xiao Gongzi came from the capital with me, when I was unable to move an inch in Beijing, thanks to his help, although this person seems to be a good man, but he is not a bad person, uncle can rest assured." ”

"Can't move an inch? Didn't Wanwan go to Beijing to find the Eighth Prince, what is going on? ”

"Uh... It's a long story, uncle, let's go first, don't let my grandmother wait for a long time. ”

After thinking about it, this place is indeed not the place to speak, so Master Su also relaxed his words, "Okay, just listen to Wanwan" Then he looked at Xiao Beichen who was waiting on the side again, and then eliminated the hostility and said slowly: "Xiao Gongzi, please"......

In the hall, an old lady who was over sixty years old but still in good spirits was sitting on the main seat at this time, anxiously looking at the direction of the door...."Grandmother" With the sound of a crisp voice, Song Wan appeared outside the hall door, looking at the old man who seemed to be in a different world, and couldn't help but choke up: "Grandmother, Wanwan misses you so much." ”

"You girl" gently patted Song Wan, who had been lying on her shoulder since she came in, and Mrs. Su pretended to be angry and said: "I heard your uncle say that you didn't go to the capital, how did you know that you came back to see my old woman this time!" ”

"What's the matter, Wanwan has always missed her grandmother very much in her heart, don't you wronged others" After saying that, Song Wan's eyes couldn't help but turn red, only she knew that what she said just now was indeed her heartfelt words, two lives, she really missed this kind old man...

"You, flam, hehe"...

"Who's flaming?" Master Su, who stepped into the hall later, saw the warm scene of their grandfather and grandson, so he also quipped: "It seems that only Wanwan can make your grandmother laugh, and Wanwan has to come back often." ”

"That's it, according to me, Wanwan won't leave when she comes back this time, anyway, there are many courtyards here, and Su Mansion doesn't need your pair of chopsticks."

"Uh... Hehe, how is my grandmother doing lately? Is it okay? ”

Seeing that she deliberately changed the topic, Mrs. Su pinched the bridge of her nose as if she was dissatisfied, and said: "If you are willing to stay here, your grandmother and my body will naturally be cured of illness" After that, knowing that this granddaughter has always had her own opinions, she didn't plan to force her, but just raised her head and was about to speak again, she saw that in addition to Master Su, there seemed to be a figure in the hall, "Who is this son?" ”

"The junior Xiao Beichen has seen Mrs. Su."

Looking at this person's polite demeanor, Mrs. Su couldn't help but add a little affection to him, and then said: "Xiao Gongzi has a hard journey, I will call someone to come, Xiao Gongzi might as well rest first." ”

Without waiting for him to speak, Master Su took the first step to reply and said: "Mother, Xiao Gongzi is from the capital, and he must also be a person who is rich and rich. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Beichen raised his eyebrows slightly, knowing that Master Su must have something to say to himself, so he had to follow his words and said: "I don't dare to be a rich man, the younger generation is not talented, and the calligraphy and painting are only a little bit clear, if Master Su doesn't dislike it, the younger generation will be ugly." ”

"Hehe, Xiao Gongzi is modest, please"....

When the person was far away, Song Wan withdrew her worried gaze, and when she turned around, she saw her grandmother looking at her with a playful expression, and immediately stammered with a red face: "I, I'm just worried that he won't be able to help his uncle, it's just self-defeating, I", it seems that the more he explains, the more he lacks confidence, and in the end Song Wan can only beg for mercy: "Grandmother..."

"Hehe, it turned out to be Xiao Gongzi" It was the first time for Mrs. Su to see such an embarrassed granddaughter, and she couldn't help but understand: "It seems that the reason why Wanwan is reluctant to stay in Yangzhou was found by my old lady~"

"Maternal grandmother" ... Song Wan stroked her forehead weakly, but scolded Xiao Beichen first in her heart: It's all his fault, if he hadn't been talking nonsense in the carriage just now, he wouldn't have misunderstood his uncle, and now even his grandmother... The more I think about it, the more irritable I get, this guy is really annoying.....
