Qi Mingcheng walked to the altar, and put Zhao Chengyi's tablet upside down on the table.Then he went and sat down by the fire.

Zhao Chengyi looked at the altar, went to the stove and sat down without saying anything.

Qi Mingcheng hesitated for a few seconds, and said, "My younger sister married in another county... Now I will go to her place, and I will definitely have to walk all night. The mountains are covered with snow, and it is not safe to walk at night. I will take you to her place tomorrow morning." Although Grandpa Qi Liu didn't recognize Zhao Chengyi, but listening to the conversation between the two of them, Qi Mingcheng was willing to believe Zhao Chengyi's identity.Because Zhao Chengyi is too familiar with his peers, and his attitude is too calm.

Besides, Qi Mingcheng calmed down and thought about it for himself, the words about the new owner of the chief executive were not something that just anyone could make up.

You know, the content of that passage matches the situation in the Northwest Army in recent years!

Hearing what Qi Mingcheng said, Zhao Chengyi breathed a sigh of relief.In fact, he really wanted to go to his sister's place right now, but he also knew that what Qi Mingcheng said was right, the danger of walking in the snow at night was too great.The mountain road was carved out along the veins of the mountain, and it would be a disaster if it slipped down the cliff.

If there is no snow, the danger of walking at night is much smaller.

Qi Mingcheng thought for a while, and then said: "The elder brother sent the third and fourth brothers to the province to study, and he would not be able to come back in three or five days. Even if we chased them immediately, we would divert them on the road. So we should go tomorrow morning My sister is convenient. As long as you leave early, you should be able to arrive in the afternoon."

In short, if Mrs. Zhao and Miss Zhao recognized Zhao Chengyi, everyone would be happy with this matter.

Zhao Chengyi couldn't help laughing as he thought about the scene when his family met.

If it was a complete stranger in front of him, maybe Qi Mingcheng would feel a little embarrassed at this time, but since it was Ah Deng who had lived together before, Qi Mingcheng had a lot less scruples and said: "When we were in the northwest, I sometimes There will be people looking for information. You know that?"

Zhao Chengyi nodded.

When Qi Mingcheng was talking, he kept observing the expression on Zhao Chengyi's face.

"What I'm looking for is actually my two older sisters. Unfortunately, I don't have any clues, so I still don't know where they were all sold." Qi Mingcheng explained, "I just got a piece of news a few days ago. The first human trafficker of the two sisters, she died a long time ago, and she was probably silenced. I have been thinking about this matter in my heart these days, but you suddenly came to the door."

What if Bao Chunsheng was discovered when he went to inquire about the news?

What if A Deng is a hired spy?

For example, he happened to accept a task to test Qi Mingcheng, so he first gained Qi Mingcheng's trust and found out how much he knew about Si Ni and Wu Ni. If he really knew something, did he disclose it to others? Are you going to kill them one by one after that...

If Qi Mingcheng is a fool, and Ah Deng is really a spy, and they don't know each other, it won't take a day for Ah Deng to complete the task.

There are too many mysteries about Ah Deng, that is, when he was a slave, he could still produce gold particles.Although Qi Mingcheng is not greedy, he also respects other people's privacy, so he never asked where his money came from.However, don't these things just show that his identity is suspicious?

Even if Qi Mingcheng is willing to believe Ah Deng [-]% or [-]%, as long as there is [-]% doubt, he will hesitate.

However, now it is basically certain that Ah Deng is Zhao Chengyi, so Qi Mingcheng has to explain it carefully.

"My mother... I mean the old lady, she hasn't traveled far for many days, and she stays at home. As a result, she was very rarely picked up by my brother-in-law the day before yesterday. It happened that other people were not at home, so you At this time, I would suddenly come to the door, I must be suspicious." He said.

However, the suspicion in Qi Mingcheng's heart only lasted for a meal.

When Zhao Chengyi was eating, Qi Mingcheng had been thinking about this matter seriously. Originally, he planned to lead Zhao Chengyi to the village after he finished eating, but he didn't expect to catch up with Grandpa Qi Liu coming over.After confirming Zhao Chengyi's identity, Qi Mingcheng didn't plan to take him out for a walk. After all, there were no recreational activities in the village, and the return of the "dead man" was enough to make the whole village boil. A quiet day is a day.

Zhao Chengyi immediately said: "Don't tell me, I was shocked when I saw you at the door of my house! It's not such a coincidence!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the matter was over.

Qi Mingcheng fiddled with the charcoal fire, and suddenly said: "The chief steward you mentioned earlier is surnamed Shen, right? Are you now in the chief steward's camp?"

Zhao Chengyi's heart skipped a beat.Some things are secret and cannot be said, but Qi Mingcheng has already guessed what he means?So does he admit it or not?No, the words of those bosses in front of him have already betrayed him!So you can't hide it anymore?

"My third sister is going to marry a steward of the Shen residence soon." Qi Mingcheng said again.So in terms of political standpoint, they are also their own people.

This is another coincidence!Zhao Chengyi only felt as if there was a net that caught himself and Qi Mingcheng. He said vaguely: "I have a sense of proportion. I will rush back only if I know that I will not bring danger to my family. Otherwise, I will definitely stay here." Stay out for a few more years."

Qi Mingcheng jokingly said: "In short, the boss is not sensible, just change the boss. I agree with this matter."

Zhao Chengyi thought so too, but he didn't answer, and asked, "Your two sisters...what's the matter with someone being silenced? Can you tell me?"

Qi Mingcheng frowned and told the clues and guesses in his heart.

Zhao Chengyi thought for a while and said, "The possibility exists, as you said."

He analyzed and said: "The people behind the scenes bought your fourth and fifth sisters for a purpose that cannot be announced. If you want to control them, you must control the Qi family. But if they directly attack the Qi family hand, and I'm afraid that your Fourth and Fifth Sisters will spoil things without any scruples..."

Zhao Chengyi thought for a while, then continued: "If I were the person behind the scenes, I would hire someone to watch over the Qi family. This person may be someone from Lidong Town. As long as the Qi family never leaves Lidong Town Once you choose to leave, the person in charge of watching you will report the news, and the people behind the scenes can immediately send someone over to control you."

People in the mountains can only go out through the Lidong River in Lidong Town, and there are no secrets in the countryside, so it is enough to hire someone to watch.

It's just that the person who was in charge of watching the Qi family saw that the Qi family had a good relationship with Zhou Mansion and Zhen Guo Gong Mansion, maybe he was timid, so he hid the news.So Qi Mingcheng can go out to sell charcoal, and he can also go out to do business.The people behind the scenes didn't attack him because they didn't even know he had left.

Who told the people behind the scenes to underestimate the Qi family?

They thought that the common people in the countryside didn't need them to treat them seriously, so they hired someone to watch them casually, but the Qi family took advantage of the situation.

"If your guess is correct, wouldn't we be able to find out that 'guard'?" Qi Mingcheng continued following Zhao Chengyi's train of thought.As long as you find the 'guard' who is watching the Qi family, you will know who hired him, and you will know the whereabouts of Si Ni and Wu Ni.

Zhao Chengyi felt that he could definitely play some role in it, and said positively: "I will return quietly this time, and leave after staying for a few days. After a few months, I will come back formally. At that time, I will bring a few more If a brother comes over, he should be able to blow up the 'Watcher'."

He didn't need to make an extra trip, but he hurried back because he couldn't wait to see his family.

"Thank you so much!" Qi Mingcheng laughed.

Zhao Chengyi's heart moved, and he said, "What can I thank you for? I haven't thanked you for taking care of my house yet."

Qi Mingcheng waved his hands again and again: "No, I actually didn't do anything. It's all thanks to the eldest brother, he is the one who worked the hardest."

There was silence between the two of them again.

Qi Mingcheng felt that his body was gradually warming up.

Now that Zhao Chengyi is back, Qi Mingcheng's current status is a bit embarrassing.Guessing that Zhao Chengyi was embarrassed to mention this, Qi Mingcheng took the initiative to say: "Now that you are back safely, then I... ahem, I don't need to pray for you anymore. I didn't go to the yamen to sign a contract back then, I just walked at home I went through the ceremony again, so there is no need to go to the Yamen to resolve the contract now. We can just get along as brothers."

To put it simply, Qi Mingcheng and Zhao Chengyi paid their respects to the memorial tablets, and everyone also acquiesced in their relationship, but they didn't actually get a marriage certificate.

So, now that Zhao Chengyi is back, as long as Qi Mingcheng moves back to the Qi family, the two of them will have nothing to do with each other.

Zhao Chengyi opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say, and finally he just said "um".

Compared to Zhao Chengyi's silence, Qi Mingcheng felt calmer as he spoke, and said with a smile: "At the beginning, my family was in trouble, and when we were desperate, we were rescued with the dowry gift from your family. Now, since this relationship is going to be dissolved Then I will return the dowry silver."

"No, no, no. Even if you really pay it back, my mother won't accept it." Zhao Chengyi said quickly.

Qi Mingcheng was very persistent.

His idea didn't come out of nowhere, but he had been thinking about it for a long time: "I didn't leave your house until this summer, but I made a plan in my heart to return the dowry gift when the time comes. To be honest, in the past two years Thanks to your family for taking care of you a lot, so I want to express my gratitude in this way. The old lady will definitely not accept it, so I typed all the money into small silver locks, and each person will have one at that time."

From now on, Qi Mingcheng is no longer the Zhao family, and when they get along again, they are just ordinary relatives.

Of course, the affection among them will not disappear.

Zhao Chengyi felt that he couldn't say anything to persuade him to stay, so he could only say "hmm" sullenly.

Qi Mingcheng became more and more at ease, and said: "When I go to the Northwest to do business again, I will be able to find you to stay overnight! By the way, I am not going to curse the frontier soldiers, but wars will inevitably lead to casualties, so I dare not speak big words , Only those who are injured, maybe I can take some of them and arrange some work for them, so that they won’t lose their future life... If you have such people by your side in the future, you can introduce them to me.”

Zhao Chengyi was very moved, but he was not good at saying words of praise, so he could only squeeze out the word "good" from his throat.
