Li Zhen admired his determination, "Well said, even if you are only a hundred households now, if I remind you, you can't let others step on you."

"My lord, you are too kind to me..."

After hearing this, Li Zhen couldn't help smiling again, but he just said: "You still have to study the box that Eunuch Lu sent. Let's go, I'll walk with you for a while."

The two left the meeting room together and walked to the back office. Although Song Yingbai was talking to Li Zhen, he couldn't help but lose his mind. First it was Baigou and then Ma Yongyan.

Li Zhen also saw that his heart was heavy, and thought for a while, "I heard that the place where you live is on fire? How about it, why don't you move to my house."

Song Yingbai was stunned: "Ah?" Are you so well informed?I have to give in and bow down.

"Anyway, my house has plenty of space and plenty of rooms. You can live there for as long as you want." Li Zhen said, "And it's nearby, and it's also close to the Jinyiwei Yamen. I know you don't have much salary now, so save it if you can." A little bit."

"No, I can't bother you."

Li Zhen smiled and said: "My grandfather raised dozens of Qing Ke, not to mention your own room and expenses."

Song Yingbai still declined, "I appreciate your kindness, and I can find a way to solve it myself."

"You solve it by yourself, and you have to bear additional burdens. I will lend you a house to live in, but it's just a matter of effort. Think about it carefully, don't lose face and suffer."

Song Yingbai knew that Li Zhen's family had a big business, and his grandfather was a duke. The Duke Jingguo's mansion packed up a room for storing tools, which was enough for him to live in. Moreover, the housing supply in the capital was tight, so many officials lived in the homes of colleagues and fellow villagers. Very common situation.

Seeing Song Yingbai thinking, Li Zhen raised his eyebrows at him, "How about it, have you thought about it?"

"Then...then I will interrupt..." Song Yingbai hesitated.

Li Zhen chuckled, "It should have been so happy a long time ago. Well, anyway, your luggage is all burned, and there is nothing to clean up. I will come to you in the Yamen, and we will go back together." At this time, I also arrived in front of the courtyard , "Then you go, it doesn't matter if you don't understand that box, don't force it, I'll just find someone else."

Song Yingbai nodded, thinking about Ma Yongyan, he was still worried, "My lord, Ma Yongyan is indeed a fraudulent corpse, it's really not my misjudgment."

Li Zhen said: "It doesn't matter whether he cheated the corpse or cheated the death. The important thing is that now he can't see anyone alive or dead. Xing Qianhu insists that you let the prisoner go. Instead of worrying about this, you might as well wait for the opportunity to catch him. When the time comes Naturally the truth will come out. Well, you go."

"Yes." Song Yingbai bowed: "I respectfully serve you." After watching Li Zhen leave, he turned and entered his room.

Mo Zheng of the Fang family tilted his head to look at the stone box. Seeing Song Yingbai came back, he hurriedly said, "My lord, you are back. This was sent by Lu Gonggong. I checked it, and there is not even a gap, but I I knocked just now, and it seems to be empty inside."

Song Yingbai walked behind the table and leaned back on the chair: "Well, I understand, don't worry about it, I have my own way."

Seeing that the lord is so confident, the Fang family's Mo couldn't say anything more, and went to do his own thing silently.

-

In the evening, the sun set in the west and sprinkled a red glow on the roof.

Chu Qiu, one of Li Zhen's entourages, came in and reported to Mr. Qianshi who was reading the official documents: "My lord, Xing Qianhu led a search around, but found no trace of Ma Yongyan. I just went to Yuan Tongzhi's place."

He is the entourage who has served Li Zhen the longest, and he is also the most trusted by him. He is usually entrusted with important matters.

"Understood." Li Zhen was not surprised at all, "Chuqiu, go to the prison and ask the Ma family members carefully, what happened to the third son of his family? If you don't ask, you have to pry it open. Once you ask something , tell me immediately."

Then he told Song Yingbai to go and arrest Ma Yongyan.

"Yes." Chu Qiu took the order and was about to quit.

Then Li Zhen ordered again: "By the way, you send someone to the mansion and ask the housekeeper to tidy up a clean room, and say that I have guests to entertain."

Chu Qiu couldn't help being stunned, guessing that the so-called guest might be Song Yingbai, but he didn't dare to say more, he said yes, and went down.

Seeing that it was late, Li Zhen asked his attendants Wanxi and Zhao Chong to come in to tidy up the desk and room, while he took the black gauze cap and put it on, and went out quickly to find Song Yingbai.

Halfway through the walk, it suddenly occurred to him that he hadn't brought out the silver ingot that he had prepared to give to Song Yingbai earlier in the morning. He seemed very happy to give him the silver last time.

This time, the place where he lived was burned, not only the spare flying fish suits were burned, but also all the living utensils were left, and the days of receiving the salary were still far away, so he must be very happy to send charcoal in a timely manner.

If he didn't want it, he would say that he lent it to him. However, Song Yingbai seems to have a thick skin, so he should readily accept it.

Thinking of this, he turned around and walked back, walked lightly into the distance, and was about to open the door when he heard a sentence from the half-open window: "Our lord is too kind to that Song Yingbai, isn't it?"

Li Zhen recognized Wanxi's voice. This guy was only 15 years old, and his voice began to change recently, which was very characteristic.

Li Zhen stopped moving, frowned and listened carefully.

"There was no such person before, but suddenly he became a very popular person. Today, Xing Qianhu said that he misjudged the prisoner and released the prisoner. As a result, our adults hurriedly helped him to discipline Xing Qianhu. To be honest, I think it's a bit upside down. It's black and white, too partial to him."

At this time, Zhao Chong said: "Isn't this very good, our lord is considered a caring person. He is young and in a high position, and there are many difficulties. He was indifferent to everyone before, but now because of This Song Yingbai, he smiles more often, which is pretty good."

Li Zhen frowned, Zhao Chong, what are you talking about?

Wan Xi said again: "Brother Chu just pointed out a school lieutenant to send a message to the Duke's Mansion, saying that the housekeeper should prepare a guest room. I guess it is for Song Yingbai. Let him move to the house. It seems that our lord is really serious." Pay attention to him."

Zhao Chong sorted out the briefcase leisurely, "Love wants to live, that's how a man likes a person, there are not so many twists and turns, give what you have, and take sides as you want."

Wan Xi whispered in surprise: "You mean... our lord and Song Yingbai..."

Zhao Chong said calmly: "Otherwise, what do you think, two out of twenty of us adults are not yet married, and we didn't even name a fiancée? I'm one year younger than him and I'm going to be a father next month. And Song Bai Hu, I heard people who checked him say that he is really clean, unmarried, he doesn't eat, drink, prostitute or gamble, and he doesn't even drink flower wine. Have you ever seen adults smile at anyone except Song Bai Is it a smile from the heart, not the kind of sarcasm or disdain. No, that’s the point.”

Li Zhen thought, Zhao Chong, do you want your child to be a posthumous child?

"Hush—" Wan Xi said in fear, "Don't talk nonsense."

"What kind of person is your lord, so you won't be afraid of these gossips. Since he dared to openly protect Song Baihu today, it means that he doesn't care at all." Zhao Chongdao: "My lord, you are so chic."

Wan Xi echoed with a look of admiration: "What you said is very reasonable, our lord is really wise and does not do secret things. After what you said, I think it is a good thing that your lord favors Song Baihu. At least he is happy. He used to feel so cold."

Li Zhen was so angry that she closed her eyes, gritted her teeth for a while, turned her head and strode out of the yard.

It's completely groundless, he likes men because he's not married?Nonsense!It is true that he has never liked women, but he never likes men, especially Song Yingbai, who is glib and honest at first glance, but is actually full of tricks.

He just took care of him because he saved him.

He promoted Song Yingbai because he is indeed a talented person who can take on the position of a hundred households.

Give him silver, that's herbal money.

Protecting him is because Xing Qianhu's behavior not only suppresses Song Yingbai, but also provokes him.

As for letting Song Yingbai come to live at home... because... because...

Forget it, there's nothing to explain, and it's not worth explaining, anyway, it's not what those bastards guessed.

In the future, the public will return to the public, and the private will return to the private.

At this time, Chu Qiu came towards him, and seeing Master Li with a sullen face, he wondered why he was fine just now, so why did he not smile again, and he said cautiously: "My lord, the prison has ordered , and someone sent a message to your house."

Li Zhen deliberately said lightly: "Go and tell Song Baihu, just let him find a place to live by himself." After finishing speaking, leave.

Although Chu Qiu didn't understand why the lord changed his mind in less than a quarter of an hour, he would do whatever the lord ordered.

He came to the courtyard where Song Yingbai was, knocked on the door and got permission, and walked in. He saw that Song Yingbai was alone in the room, looking at a box with his chin propped up, "Song Baihu, under the order of Li Qianshi, he asked his subordinates to tell You, I tell you to find a place to live by yourself."

Song Yingbai froze for a moment, "Okay, I see, thank you."

When Chu Qiu left, Song Yingbai became more and more confused, what was Li Zhen doing, slipping away?If he had known this earlier, he wouldn't have waited.

But, forget it, there is no time to deal with him now.

He has to settle Ma Yongyan's matter quickly now.

Song Yingbai almost trotted all the way back to Zizhu Hutong. Sure enough, the main house and the east wing had been burnt down, leaving only one west wing room.

Seeing that the light was on inside, he opened the door and went in. Mr. An, Mrs. An, and Liu Yuchun were sitting under the lamp and eating.

Seeing Song Yingbai, Mr. An said sadly: "Why did you come back? I sent someone to deliver a letter to you this morning."

"I'm very busy today. I heard that you are all right, so I didn't come back." Song Yingbai finished being polite, and looked around: "It is said that the righteous dog saved you? I blamed it wrongly. It turns out that its weird behavior is just human nature. "

The white dog was lying in the corner of the room at this time, and after hearing this, he glanced at Song Yingbai.

Mr. An said with lingering fear: "Yes, thanks to it, I, who was choked by the smoke from the fire, dragged me out with my sleeve in my mouth."

Old Madam An wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said: "It will be poor for a day if the fire burns, people are fine, how can we live in the future."

Liu Yuchun persuaded: "Don't cry, it happens that my friend Li Jia needs me there, and I will move to live with him tomorrow. You live here first, and the house will be built slowly."

For Du Shiniang's ransom money, Li Jia wanted to get money from the casino, but he was beaten up when he was out. He was recovering from his injuries. He had taken care of him for a few days before. They were all from the same village, so he couldn't be left alone.

"When I rented it to you, I knew that the supervisors of the Imperial College are different, and they are kind and kind." After the old lady An finished speaking, she looked at Song Yingbai again: "Your house is burned down. What did you burn? Into silver, we will compensate you."

"It's not worth much, just a flying fish suit and books."

As far as Feiyu clothes and books are worth, Old Madam An wanted to cry again. At this moment, she heard Song Yingbai say, "You don't need to compensate me. Instead, I want to ask you one more thing."

They said that there is no need to lose money, so there is no reason for Mrs. An not to agree, "Say it, say it."

"I want to borrow the white dog and make sure I won't hurt it." Song Yingbai said, "It's related to the case at hand, so I'll use it now."

Mr. An immediately agreed, "Yes, yes, just take it, this dog understands human nature, and it will definitely help you."

Song Yingbai thanked the An family and his wife, walked towards the dog with a smile, and took the half-broken chain, which must have been broken by himself while fighting the fire.

It could be seen from the white dog's expression that the boss was unwilling, but in front of so many people, he could only obediently follow Song Yingbai out of the gate.

Song Yingbai led it to a secluded alley.

"Sit down first, I have something to tell you."

The white dog sat down obediently, with an expression of "all ears, let's see what nonsense you can say".

While the dog was not paying attention, Song Yingbai stomped on its tail fiercely.

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" The white dog yelled at Song Yingbai, suddenly it felt something fall into its throat, before it could react, it had already swallowed it, and it looked at him in horror.

"Have you ever heard of Duan Jin Yu Gu Pill?" Song Yingbai tore out the name of the poison in the novels he had read, "It is a new poison that our Jin Yiwei has researched. After taking it, if you can't take it within three days Medicine, the flesh on the body will rot from the bones one by one, and people are still alive during this process. Oh, I don’t know what happens to dogs if they eat it?”

The white dog widened his eyes, barked at Song Yingbai, and bit him. Song Yingbai laughed, turned over and climbed up to the next courtyard wall, squatted on it, and smiled at "Mad Dog", "I didn't have any hope, But seeing your reaction, I think it should work."

In fact, the so-called poison is a powerful pill.

The white dog kept biting at the wall, making Song Yingbai laugh straight: "I found out that you too, good or bad are written on your face, there is no city, so even a monster is not a powerful big monster, as expected, a poison Could kill you."

The white dog grinned and whined, hostile to him, and suddenly heard Song Yingbai say: "But don't despair, as long as you are willing to help me with one thing, I will give you the antidote, it's not a big favor, It's about solving the case."

The white dog was startled, but stopped barking.

Song Yingbai jumped down the wall, smiled at it, and said, "There is a box in our Jinyiwei yamen, I will take you to sniff it, and then please use your keen sense of smell to lead me to where its owner is, just such a small favor."

And what the box is for, as long as you find Ma Yongyan, you can solve it easily.

When he heard that the box was returned to him, he thought of using the white dog to sniff out Ma Yongyan's hiding place.

Dogs have the most developed sense of smell, let alone a "demon dog".

That box belonged to Ma Yongyan, following the scent, he must be caught.

The white dog lowered its head and seemed to be thinking. For a moment, it looked at the chain and barked twice, as if asking Song Yingbai to hold the chain.

Song Yingbai understood, took the chain, and pointed in the direction of Jinyiwei's yamen: "Xiaobai, go!"

After he finished speaking, he was taken aback, and realized that he had included himself, and sure enough, he heard the white dog whistling twice, as if he was laughing.

He shook the chain, "Goofy, go!"

As soon as the words fell, the white dog rushed out, the strength was not small, and Song Yingbai shrugged his shoulders, and ran out.
