The old lady is reborn

The Eagle's men came back, and Lin Fei reported to Madam Song Ying, "It looks like there were two groups of people. The first group seemed to want to kill people to silence them, and the second group rushed over as if they wanted to save people, but they died after seeing that they were dead. It seems that they were looking for something.

The two groups started fighting, and as the sky gradually brightened, the second group suddenly turned to killing people. Some servants of the Yan family who were still alive could not be saved.

After killing someone, the two groups of people dispersed together. It seemed that neither of them found what they were looking for. "

Song Ying thought: If the second group hadn't fought with the first group, the little girl Yan Danqi probably wouldn't have been able to escape.

Then I thought, no matter who they are, it shouldn’t take them half a day or a day to track me down…

So he stood up with the stack of papers and books and said to Lin Fei: "How many flying eagles are left at home?"

Lin Fei said: "Five of them followed the Second Master to take up their posts. Including us, there are still ten people in the family."

Song Ying said: "Okay, ten of you will escort me to the palace to see the emperor."

Lin Fei was a little surprised. Song Ying never used flying eagles. He always used them to protect Huai'an and Huaiyuan. But today he acted out of character.

What Song Ying was thinking was that if the two groups had already found out here, the journey to the palace would be a long one.

The team sent by Lu Dekai to kill people and collect evidence, and the team sent by the six kings to seize witnesses and evidence, all returned empty-handed, and the Jingzhao Yin had to face another tragic case of family annihilation.

Yan Zhiming, the imperial physician who was about to retire and return home, and his family of eleven, including more than twenty servants, were all killed overnight.

While the people of Jingzhao Yin were busy performing an autopsy and investigating the case, they were also checking to see if there were any relatives who could handle the funeral.

Lu Dekai asked his subordinates: "Are those people coming again government officials? The inspection team?"

The subordinate replied, "It shouldn't be him, he looks like us, he's also looking for something.

There was a time when we fought with them. Their skills and weapons showed that they must be the men of some prince."

Various weapons such as knives and swords are not cheap. A good one can cost thousands of gold coins.

The swords in the hands of Lu Dekai's men would be useless if they were used in a single move.

In order to make the knife in his hand faster and more useful, Lu Dekai was willing to spend money to equip them.

The opponent's skills are not bad, his weapons are not inferior, and he is not a government official.

To be able to form such a team, one must not only be rich but also powerful. According to the judgment of the subordinates, that group of people are either powerful officials or princes.

Then who else is there in the court?

Has the Sixth Prince also heard the news and is investigating the matter?

Or are there other princes involved?

The Sixth Prince was also asking, "Didn't you find the item? Did you look carefully?"

The subordinate said: "There is still a group of people here... and there is not enough time."

The Sixth Prince hesitated for a moment and said, "Are all the Yan family members dead?"

"Yes, including his servants."

"Go down."

The Sixth Prince called another person over and said, "The ownerless house will be sold by the government. Go and find out and buy his house."

The man took the order and went out. As the day gradually brightened, he arrived at the middleman's office and asked the middleman to check the house, expressing his intention to buy it.

The middleman did not know at this time that a murder had occurred in this house. The houses on East and West Streets were not cheap, no matter how big or small. Business came to the door and ran away quickly.

The middleman who took the job went to the business office to check the property, copied it back, and said to the man, "If you want to buy this house, you have to find Yan Zhixing. He is the registered owner of this house.

But this person is from another place... Let me see, he is from Huyang County. If you are in a hurry to buy this house, you have to wait for a reply."

The man was stunned: "Isn't this Yan Zhiming's house?"

….. After reporting back, three groups of people went out and quickly found out the truth.

Yan Zhixing, Yan Zhiming's younger brother, was from Huyang County.

Yan Zhixing and his son are famous businessmen in Huyang County. Originally, they were a family of doctors, but now they have opened 194 clinics and drug stores in the three local counties.

The Yan family is also the largest medicine dealer in the south. They purchase medicinal materials from the north and even the whole country, and do preliminary classification and processing, such as roasting, drying, and slicing. They are almost the distribution center of southern medicinal materials.

The medicines sent to various counties in the south were not from his pharmacy, but many of them used his raw materials.

Ten years ago, Yan Zhixing brought his family to Kyoto to visit his brother. Seeing that his brother's house was not big enough for two large families to live in, he directly bought this house and gave it to his eldest brother.

Yan Zhiming didn't want it, so it finally ended up being under Yan Zhixing's name. Yan Zhixing then said that there would be people coming to Kyoto to live often, so Yan Zhiming agreed to move.

In the past ten years, one or two younger generations would come to Kyoto to visit Yan Zhiming every year and stay for more than twenty days.

According to the records of the village head, Yan Zhixing's granddaughter, fourteen-year-old Yan Danqi, arrived in Beijing ten days ago and lived in this house.

Hearing this, the leader who was ordered to do the job last night knelt down. The Sixth Prince said, "Now is not the time to accept the punishment. Go check where Yan Danqi is now."

The Sixth Prince thought: If the thing is in her hands and she is hiding it somewhere, we can catch her and everything will be fine.

If Lu Dekai had gotten there first and both the things and the people were gone, it would be difficult to deal with.

A teenage girl and a merchant from another place, she was completely clueless about Kyoto.

I am young and have no connections. It is impossible for me to hand the things to His Majesty right away.

Now, I don't want to lose such a big help from Lu Dekai and the Ninth Prince. I have to use this handle at the end.

The current Majesty was about to attend court when a palace maid came to report that Song Ying had entered the palace with a golden and jade invitation, requesting to see His Majesty.

His Majesty hesitated for a moment. He had never seen her ask for help from anyone in all these years, let alone come to him for help.

Only three gold and jade letters were issued in the entire court, and she suddenly used it today. What happened?

At this moment... the support her father and brother had given her was almost unmatched... but as the ruler of a country, attending court was a matter of state.

I originally planned to meet Song Ying first to hear what was going on and delay for a while. The matter could be dealt with after the court session.

His Majesty said, "Take him to the Imperial Study." It was close to the court, so he went to the Imperial Study to see Song Ying first.

But in the end, all the civil and military officials in the court received an oral order that the Crown Prince would be in charge of government today, assisted by the Left Prime Minister, and the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of War would be in charge of writing.

After reading this, His Majesty looked at Song Ying for a long time without words. A serious threat could be eliminated with justification.

The only time Song Ying used the Golden Jade Card in all these years was still not for herself.

Song Ying smiled and said, "Your Majesty, that's not the case.

I am afraid that anyone who wants to fight for these certificates will harm Yan Danqi and will also hurt me and my family.

I beg Your Majesty for protection."

The Sixth Prince and Lu Dekai's men successively investigated Song Ying's mansion. After reporting back, the Sixth Prince and Lu Dekai gave the same order: "Get the stuff at all costs." For Lu Dekai, this was a matter of life and death.

A palace guard asked his leader, "Does this mean that it doesn't matter if the whole family is exterminated?"

The boss said, "Yes, as long as we get the things."

The two teams headed towards Song Ying's mansion.
