The escape system takes me to dig for treasures

"Stop talking!"

When Dao Xin first heard the news about Tie Niu, he was obviously interested, but after finding himself attracted by Xie Kui's words, he turned his head away.

"It's enough to know that you are all well. Don't tell me about these mundane matters in the future. It's getting late, so you should go back as soon as possible!"

As he spoke, Daoxin began to recite scriptures, with an attitude that kept people at a distance.

Xie Kui pursed his lips.

He still can't accept this fact.

He always thought that since he was trying hard to find the city lord and his wife, the other party must be very anxious to find them. Not to mention him, at the very least, he should at least care about Tie Niu's whereabouts.

After two or three days, Xie Kui still couldn't figure it out.

Especially now that he had seen the city lord in person, Xie Kui asked without giving up: "City lord? What about his wife?"

Dao Xin's chanting of the sutra paused for a moment, then continued.

Seeing that he would not be able to get to the bottom of the matter today, Xie Kui retreated from the meditation room in disappointment.

He actually still had a lot of questions, but seeing the city lord's attitude of keeping him at a distance, he knew he couldn't ask anything.

If this man didn't look exactly like the city lord, Xie Kui really wouldn't be able to associate him with the elegant yet majestic man in his impression.

Song Zhaocheng acted quickly, but of course it was General Wu who really took action. Song Zhaocheng was just a civil servant, so if he wanted to get information, he had to rely on General Wu.

After Song Zhaocheng found him, he agreed without saying a word.

After less than half a month, Jiang Xi finally got the news he wanted.

Jiang Xi was surprised when he first heard the background of the aide named Zhang.

"Qingzhou City? Are you from Qingzhou City?"

Jiang Xi asked suspiciously.

Song Zhaocheng delivered the message personally.

That staff member was originally a juren, and when he was in Qingzhou City, he was an staff member in the City Lord's Mansion. He also opened a private school, had a wife and children, and lived a happy life.

However, their family was also one of the victims of the rebellion that occurred in Qingzhou City.

His wife died, one daughter was disfigured, and his son had a broken leg.

After delivering the message, Song Zhaocheng left Jiang's house and happened to meet Xie Kui and Tie Niu coming back from outside.

Song Zhaocheng smiled at Tie Niu and asked him some questions about his knowledge.

Although Tie Niu was young, he answered questions fluently. Song Zhaocheng looked at him with fondness in his eyes and touched his head.

When Song Zhaocheng left, the childish innocence in Tie Niu suddenly disappeared.

He seemed to be in a low mood, and looked at Xie Kui to confirm: "Uncle Xie, who is the person you took me to see?"

When Tie Niu escaped from Qingzhou City, he was still very young, less than four years old. Moreover, now that the city lord has shaved his head, changed his clothes, his temperament has changed.

He didn't show any fatherly love towards Tie Niu.

It’s no wonder that Xie Kui brought Tie Niu over, as father and son didn’t recognize each other when they met.

Xie Kui couldn't answer Tie Niu's words for a moment.

He brought Tie Niu with him, but the city lord still refused to see them.

Just at this moment Jiang Baishu came out and asked where they had gone.

Tie Niu's attention was immediately diverted, and he told Jiang Baishu, "We went to a temple."

Tie Niu originally wanted to say that Uncle Xie Kui also bought him candied haws, but when he remembered that he had eaten all of the candied haws and left none for his brother, he covered his mouth and didn't say anything else.

Feeling a little guilty, Tie Niu turned around and forgot about the middle-aged man he met in the temple. He was taken by Jiang Baishu to read a book.

Jiang Xi heard the voices outside, called Xie Kui in, and told him the news sent by Song Zhaocheng.

And asked about Xie Kui.

Xie Kui was stunned. It turned out that Zhang, the aide, was from the City Lord's Mansion.

To be honest, although he was a subordinate of the city lord, he had always stayed in the military camp and had never met that aide.

But I have heard of this person.

Xie Kui opened his mouth and told the truth.

But he still didn't tell Jiang Xi that the city lord was currently in the temple.

Now it seems that the aide went to the temple definitely not to pray to the gods, but most likely to see the city lord.

Is he also trying to persuade the city lord to return to secular life like me?

Xie Kui was puzzled and decided to explore further.

Jiang Xi didn't get the information he wanted from Xie Kui, so he stopped talking.

While they were investigating Zhang's background, something major happened in the palace.

The former crown prince rebelled, and General Wu rushed into the palace overnight to rescue him.

The former crown prince failed in his attempt to usurp the throne and was thrown into jail along with his in-laws.

However, the Fourth Prince suddenly stood out among the many princes, was entrusted with important tasks by the old emperor, and appeared in front of many court officials.

The wind direction in the capital suddenly changed.

The old emperor was affected by the former crown prince's rebellion and usurpation of the throne. His health became increasingly weak and even the morning court sessions were suspended. All the news coming out of the palace was not good.

At the same time, the Dali Temple also found out that the reason why Song Yunting met with an unexpected accident was that before entering the capital, he accidentally passed by and discovered the former crown prince's plan for a rebellion, which was hidden in a stronghold deep in the suburbs of the capital. He was silenced by the former crown prince's party.

This is the answer given by the Dali Temple Minister.

Song Zhaoben originally thought that Song Yunting would find a reason to return to everyone's sight, but he received another letter from Song Yunting saying that he was going south and would not return to the sight of everyone in the capital for the time being.

After being worried for a month or two, Mr. and Mrs. Song Zhaocheng suddenly became anxious. They had originally thought that they would finally be able to see their son, but they didn't expect that the plans had changed again.

Madam Song grabbed Song Zhaocheng's hand and said, "Master, is Yun Ting hiding something from us?"

Song Zhaocheng did not answer. It was obvious that there was something wrong. There must be something else.

After much thought, Song Zhaocheng could only think of one person who could assign a task to Song Yunting.

Jiang Xi learned about Song Yunting's idea from Song Zhaocheng. It was almost December 15th, and the family had to rush home to celebrate the New Year after staying outside for half a year.

When Mrs. Song heard that Jiang Xi and the others were preparing to go home, she was very reluctant to let them go.

I found Song Zhaocheng to discuss, "Those rice seeds that Ah Li gave us still need someone to implement them."

She wanted to drop everything and follow Jiang Xi back to Yunzhou City, and meet her son by the way, but the Song Mansion still needed a hostess to take care of things during the holidays and maintain interpersonal relationships, and Mrs. Song really couldn't leave.

Therefore, I discussed with Song Zhaocheng and decided to return to Yunzhou City after the New Year and before the spring ploughing.

Song Zhaocheng agreed.

Madam Song told Jiang Xi about this, and Jiang Xi said, "I will accompany you to see Yun Ting when the time comes."
