Mingjia found it strange. Normally, it was too much for a wife to not care about the life and death of the servants in the family. Especially when she heard that it was her husband who stabbed her young man to death with a sword, Mrs. Shi's expression did not even change.

Mingjia was still thinking, but Mrs. Shi had already stood up and left. Xiao Qingshan also asked several government officials to go back to the front yard, then turned to Mingjun and Mingjia and said, "You two go to the study. Tell your master that I won't be able to go there today. If you have anything to do, we can talk about it tomorrow!"

Ming Jun and Ming Jia... (⊙?⊙) It is obvious that there is something hidden about Lieutenant Shi, and it is not a small one. But, dad, is it really okay for you to leave your master in the study like this?

Xiao Qingshan understood the look in his son and daughter's eyes, but he didn't feel guilty at all. Now that Quxian has done everything he can do, even if he stays in the study tonight and doesn't sleep, he can't do anything.

The nearest county town to Qu County can be traveled back and forth in one day on horseback. Early tomorrow morning, news will come back from Lin County, and it will be too late to think about things by then.

Mingjun took Mingjia out of the hospital and to the study room in the front yard. Ming Jun suddenly said: "The boy you asked Granny Yan and Uncle Chen Liu to train is very good. I will keep him with me from now on, and you can't be without anyone!"

Ming Jia was also very happy when she saw that her brother was satisfied with the boy she sent over: "Don't worry! I rarely go out, and Mrs. Yan and Shuang'er will follow me now."

Ming Jun thought about it. His sister spent most of the time in the county government office, and asked about Shi County Lieutenant: "Didn't you hear any movement in the study today?"

Mingjia quickly shook her head. She really didn't hear any movement. Mingjia also looked back at Mrs. Yan. Mrs. Yan usually stared at the activities in the front yard.

When Mrs. Yan saw the young lady looking back at her, she shook her head slightly. There was nothing unusual about the adults and government officials in the front yard today. The little maid next to Mrs. Shi went to the front yard, but she knew it. But the specific content of the conversation is not known.

While chatting, Mingjun and Mingjia had arrived in the study room, and Xie Boyuan was reading. Seeing the two brothers and sisters coming in: "Have you finished dealing with the Shi family's affairs?" Mingjun directly told what happened in the backyard.

Mingjia also spoke to complement Mrs. Shi's strange reaction. Xie Boyuan doesn't think it's a big deal, it's not that the whole family doesn't have access to the same house. Mrs. Shi must know who Captain Shi is.

As for Shixian Lieutenant? It's not even a problem. Xie Boyuan has already seen through Shi Xianwei. This kind of person is very patient, can be a good subordinate, and can usually get things done.

Xie Boyuan felt that this matter would not be a big deal, so it would be better to tell the two children in advance. Whether Mingjun goes to school in the county or Mingjia is in the backyard, he can be prepared in advance.

Therefore, Xie Boyuan brought Shi Xianwei back to the important objects and told the other party's identity. Mingjun's analysis of the matter was already very thorough. Mingjun said directly: "The grassland tribes are suffering from a serious drought. Is this the time when they plan to harvest food? Are you here to grab food?"

Ming Jia felt something was wrong. This was not like waiting for the autumn harvest: "They shouldn't be able to wait for the autumn harvest, otherwise they wouldn't attack the court officials. They want to create chaos and grab food in advance!"

Xie Boyuan is more inclined to Mingjia's idea: "Every year during the autumn harvest, the grassland tribes will try their best to come to Daliang to grab grain, so before and after the autumn harvest, my country's border defense is the most stringent."

It is still summer, and the grasslands are rich in pasture and the cattle and sheep are breeding season. Our border generals will be a little lax. At this time, if there is trouble within Daliang.

Because there was a fight over water sources, and it got so big that several local officials were killed or injured? There will inevitably be counties asking General Li for help to suppress the people. By then, the number of garrison generals will inevitably be reduced and the defense will be even more lax.

Xie Boyuan also told what he had guessed. I am afraid that something has happened to the magistrates or other officials in other counties. We can only wait for the news to come back tomorrow, hoping that they will discover the problem sooner.

Mingjun and Mingjia were frightened for a while, but fortunately, fourth uncle Cheng and fourteenth uncle followed their father. If he were an ordinary government servant, my father might have encountered something unexpected.

However, Lieutenant Shixian is really powerful. Not only can he detect abnormalities, but he can also lead people to sneak back and obtain the other party's identity certificate. I really hope there can be a few more astute people like Shi Xianwei in Sichuan Province.

Ming Jun suddenly asked Xie Boyuan: "Master, is this matter only for Sichuan Province? Or for several states on the northwest border?" By the end of the question, Ming Jun was afraid to continue.

Xie Boyuan found that he taught Mingjun very well, even a little too well.

Xie Boyuan thought for a while and said: "The Yelu tribe is a relatively large tribe among the grassland tribes, and it is very prestigious. If they can send the seventh prince to Daliang this time, they will definitely not just plan to steal some food!"

Mingjia suddenly caught the important point: "Is there any difference in the identity of this seventh prince?" Xie Boyuan turned to look at Mingjia. The little girl was still too young, and Xie Boyuan didn't want to explain clearly the seventh prince's life experience.

The biological mother of the seventh prince is a princess whom the former Zhou Dynasty married. It is said that she gave birth to Yelu Aqi in 7 months in the Yelu tribe. Moreover, the seventh prince looked nothing like the king of the Yelu tribe at that time.

Therefore, this prince has not been taken seriously. Even many people in the Yelu tribe do not recognize this seventh prince. The current king of the Yelu tribe is the younger brother of the previous king.

The new king came to the throne by killing his brother, and not only inherited his brother's throne, but also his brother's women and children. After the new king succeeded to the throne, he began to pay attention to the seventh prince. I heard that he was given a lot of soldiers, horses, cattle and sheep.

It was the first time Ming Jun heard about this situation among the grassland tribes and he was a little dumbfounded. Mingjia suddenly thought of some bloody plots in ancient romance novels, and then asked directly: "Back then, wasn't this younger brother the one who came to Dazhou for his elder brother to marry the princess?"

Xie Boyuan suddenly looked at Mingjia, and he suddenly seemed to understand what Mingjia meant by asking this question. Xie Boyuan stared at Mingjia with wide eyes. Although he did not answer Mingjia's question, his expression and eyes gave Mingjia the answer.

Ming Jun looked at his master and then his sister in confusion, but suddenly he stopped talking.

Before Mingjia asked this question, Xie Boyuan had never considered this issue. Now, Xie Boyuan suddenly felt that Mingjia might have guessed the truth.

But how could Ming Jia, a 7-year-old child, think of this? What should I do? He is a master, but there are differences between men and women! Could it be that Mrs. Yan still taught Mingjia this? She is worthy of being a mother-in-law who came from the palace.

After Mingjia asked the question, he wanted to show off a frown and a forced smile. Especially since Xie Boyuan reacted to her suspicion instantly, it was too late for her to pretend to be stupid afterwards.
