Ministers and others get married by decree

The people in the Weiyuan Escort Bureau suspected Qin Fengchi, but in fact Qin Fengchi was also secretly vigilant.

When he was in a coma, he really didn't know anything about people. When he woke up, he was already lying in a strange place.He was already suspicious, how could he really let go of his guard just because the people here healed him?

Assuming he is not injured, then he will definitely investigate secretly when he goes down the mountain, and the first step must be to start with the few families at the foot of the mountain.

The first to bear the brunt is the Weiyuan Escort.

In addition, he woke up without saying a word, because he wanted to see what Qin Song was going to do next.Although he didn't count on Qin Song's loyalty, it would be better if he could be more honest. He didn't want to change his apprentice yet.

Fortunately, Qin Song is still honest.

Sun Tzuchu took his pulse again and nodded: "Your pulse is stable, you can drink the medicine or not, just rest for a few days." He looked at Qin Fengchi's clothes again, "I'll get you a set of clean clothes , you scrub and put on yourself, so as not to infect the wound."

These words hit Qin Fengchi's mind, and made his tone a little more sincere: "Thank you, sir, I'll wait for this matter, and Qin will definitely come to thank you."

Sun Tzu smiled and waved his hands, packed his things and went out with Ning Xiongfei and his disciples, leaving the whole cottage to Qin Fengchi to recuperate.

Ning Fei endured it, endured it until he crossed the courtyard, and then asked: "Master, what are these two people from? I think the clothes are really nice, and they look familiar, but I just can't remember."

"Ask your senior brother!" Ning Xiongfei shook the pot and dragged his grandson Chu to escape.

Ning Fei was used to this kind of situation, and immediately looked at his senior brother.

Ning Yu: "..."

He sighed, stretched out his hand and flicked the forehead of the silly boy in front of him.I don't know where the courage in the "Xiao Wen Tian Tian Shi" in Jianghu came from to give this person the title of "Hengjian Scholar", and his ranking is not low.

In his opinion, "lecherous scholar" thinks highly of this fool.

Qin Song didn't know that he had passed a test with his master. When he returned to the thatched cottage at night, he saw that his master was not only awake, but also reading a book leisurely.

"Master! Are you all right?" He shouted in surprise.

Qin Fengchi hummed calmly, and casually pointed to the small table by the window: "I left some food for you, eat."

The little apprentice was immediately cheerful, sat down at the table and started to eat voraciously.He was in a hurry to talk to his master, so he wiped his mouth after grabbing a bowl of rice in a hurry and stood beside the bamboo couch.

"Master, those insects are all dead," he said with a relaxed smile, "I don't worry, let them sprinkle the powder once, it should be safe."

Qin Fengchi pondered, and looked up at him: "Have the corpses of the old lady and Xiugu restrained?"

Qin Song nodded, with an indescribable expression on his face: "It's okay to accept it. I was worried that it would cause panic in the imperial guards. I didn't let those people come back. I restrained myself..."

He hesitated, but still asked, "Master, tell me, is that really the old lady?"

Qin Fengchi asked him back: "You collected the corpse yourself, what do you think?"

The old lady is indeed dead.

Qin Song's expression became even more depressed.He didn't dare to recall how he gritted his teeth and held his breath to touch the old lady and Xiugu, it was too scary.Xiugu's body was only a little shriveled, and it was still intact, but the old lady only had a piece of skin left, and all her flesh and blood and internal organs were gone——

"How can we explain to the emperor?" Qin Song endured for a long time, and now he cried in fear, "Master, I don't want to die..."

Isn't Qin Fengchi in a hurry?

He knows what the emperor's weakness is.The thing the emperor feels most sorry for in his life is his mother, the more he is ninety-five years old, the more he can't let go.In the past few years, it's not that the emperor has never thought about taking the old lady back to the palace, or in other words, since the day he ascended the throne, he has been thinking about it all the time.

But there are things that even the emperor can't do.Even if the queen mother, the Bai family, and the court ministers all agree, the old lady will not go against the will of the first emperor.

The tragic death of the old lady is a major event, but the question now is who did it.

"You go and summon the Guashanju, Donglin Tea House, and Zeyuelou, and test whether they know about it, but don't reveal any rumors." He looked at Qin Song seriously, and told him word by word, "Go now, don't come back." If found, I will consider what to do next."

Qin Song was astonished, sobbingly agreed, and went out to handle errands.Although he still doesn't understand the master's intention, it is always right to follow the master's words and do things.

Qin Fengchi waited until midnight, when he saw his apprentice lift the curtain and enter the room with a face full of panic.

"how?"

Qin Song knelt down in front of his couch, supported his knees and said hastily: "Master, Zeyuelou said that they had set off fireworks at midnight a few days ago, but that night, they heard the sound of gongs, and it was in Donglin Mountain ringing nearby."

"The fireworks were suddenly ordered by a foreign merchant, and they specifically asked to be set off at night."

Qin Fengchi leaned over and stared at him: "Where is the merchant?"

"Zeyuelou naturally sensed something was wrong, but the merchant didn't know anything about it. He was entrusted by someone to say that he was a benefactor of Shangyun merchant in Yangzhou in the past, so he came here to cheer her up. The merchant accepted 150 taels of silver as a thank you." Since I can get a banquet with a beautiful woman for nothing, it is natural. When asked who he is, the merchant only said that he met at an inn twenty miles outside the city."

Seeing that Master frowned and said nothing, Qin Song couldn't help but said: "Master, this was obviously premeditated, they don't know what we saw on the mountain, those Gu worms—"

"Shut up!" Qin Fengchi said sharply.

Qin Song shut his mouth unwillingly.He felt that it was very obvious at this point.

If they came a few days late, according to Dr. Sun, those Gu worms would leave on their own or die, then they would only see empty temples, and old ladies and servants who died strangely.But they happened to come and ran into Gu worms.Isn't this God's will for them to know the truth?

Qin Fengchi rubbed his eyebrows: "You think, if we report the matter of Mingdi and Gu Chong, the emperor will directly send Zhao Yiqing to investigate the case, and then we can get away, right?"

"Isn't everything we said the truth?" Qin Song asked anxiously.

"You are so naive." Qin Fengchi looked away coldly, "Because Donglin Temple encountered a Gu worm, you directly believed that this matter was related to the Queen Mother. How much turmoil will it cause?"

Qin Song couldn't understand: "The old lady is the emperor's own mother. The emperor must want to know who is the mastermind. We are just passing on these clues. In the end, don't you have to listen to the emperor?"

Qin Fengchi was almost laughed out of anger.

Well, now it can be seen that this kid is indeed hand-picked by the government.

His wound was still hurting, and he pointed his apprentice weakly: "Think about the Gu worm, there are actually several possibilities."

"One is that the Empress Dowager is not willing to let the Emperor worry about the old lady, and wanted to take the opportunity to solve the old lady without knowing it, but we discovered it by chance; or, the matter was done by a relative's family, and the purpose was similar. Eliminate future troubles, but the Queen Mother doesn't know about it; the last one, this matter has nothing to do with the Queen Mother or the Bai family, the other party just wants to arouse mutual suspicion between the Emperor and the Queen Mother, so as to profit from it."

Qin Song was dumbfounded, and stammered: "Will there be... a third situation?"

"Why not?" Qin Fengchi sneered, "Don't forget, the sage doesn't have a son yet, if she doesn't give birth in the end, no matter which prince takes over in the future, the sage will be the second empress dowager. Success, kill three birds with one stone, why not do it?"

Qin Song fought coldly.

This is the first time for him to face this kind of naked fighting, in other words, the ugliness of human nature.He thought that the empress dowager sending someone to assassinate the old lady was already called a conspiracy, but he didn't know that other people had other tricks and rings.

"...Master, then, shouldn't we send a secret letter?" Qin Song didn't dare to raise his head, "Isn't that Zeyuelou originally owned by the emperor? They had already prepared a secret letter. At that time I just want to send it out."

That Shang Yun Shang said at the time that he wanted him to leave immediately, but he insisted on leaving the next day, which aroused the suspicion of Shang Yun Shang.Fortunately, none of the people in Zeyuelou knew martial arts, but just to be on the safe side, he walked around for a long time before returning.

"Really?" Qin Fengchi narrowed his eyes, feeling a little displeased, "The person handed over to me dares to bend his elbow?"

Qin Song peeked at his master and thought: Isn't that an elbow to the emperor?Besides, that's not the point!

"They send them, you just send yours, just go ahead of them." Qin Fengchi waved his hand.

So Qin Song was sent away again.

The room was quiet again, Qin Fengchi leaned on the couch and looked at the book in his hand, but his thoughts flew to nowhere.

After listening to Qin Song talking about the situation of a few secret sentries, he had some doubts about Zeyuelou.However, it may also be that he himself is suspicious. Zeyuelou originally worked for the emperor after all, and it is not surprising that he does not want to submit to others.

Let's talk about Qin Song.

Although Qin Song has many shortcomings such as young age, timidity, and love to cry, he also has the advantages of being careful and reliable in handling things.He went out all night and came back again, but he never took the same road.

This time when he went out again, it was more than half an hour. He ran out from the southeast corner of the house along the wall, hid in the bushes outside and waited for a stick of incense, and then walked into the woods, walked around most of the city, and walked through the west gate. go out.

"It was only half an hour ago, but is there still someone going out?" Qin Song asked immediately.

"Your Excellency was joking," the city gate soldiers clasped their fists, "it's already a curfew, unless you seem to have something important to do, depending on who he is, I dare not let anyone in or out."

Qin Song was speechless, and drove straight away.It's useless to ask, if whistle wants to go out of the city gate, I'm afraid he won't go through the gate like him.

Outside the gate of the west city is the official road. The official road is surrounded by mountains and rivers. If you walk another [-] miles, there will be a post station run by the common people.It took only about two quarters of an hour to ride a horse for twenty miles, so Qin Song planned to buy some dry food at the post station, and then he would have to drive day and night.Qin Song was galloping with his horse, the breeze was blowing, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse above his head, it was a rare good night scene.But he didn't care to appreciate the scenery on the horse, and for some reason, he became more and more panicked.

He squeezed the rein tightly, and couldn't help but look at the gloomy jungle on the right, trembling in his heart.So he secretly cheered himself up, not!As Ying Yuwei and his master's apprentice, how could he be afraid of well ropes for ten years after being tricked once?

There can be no second Xu Changshun here!

His horse must be all right!

The author has something to say: Chu Lou, like Ning Fei, is a Yan dog

--------------

Qin Song: My horse must be fine!

Qin Fengchi: Your focus is only on horses?

Chu Lou: Because of poverty.
