It wasn't like this in my last life

All the way back to the inn, Song Xi's face sank like water and he didn't say a word.

Stepping into the door, Song Badai was thrown on the bed, and Song Xi rushed forward to strip his obscene pants.

"If you have something to say, Song Xi! Second brother!! Let go... ah..." Song Badai failed to save the obscene pants, so he simply didn't want them anymore, and hid in the bed naked.

Someone knocked on the door outside, and the voice of a guard rang out, "Master, my subordinates have something important to report."

Song Xi folded her arms, "I'll take care of you when I come back."

As soon as he left, Song Badai immediately came out to find a new one, opened the door and planned to go out.Guard B bowed to block him, "Third Master, the master said that you are not allowed to step out of the room today."

This man has a heart as big as a sesame seed.Song Badai shook his head, "I won't go out, please brother to get me some food, I'm sorry." He was really hungry after tossing for so long, and Song Xi didn't eat anything, isn't he hungry? "Hey brother, I'll send some to your master too. Well, this dish... just serve whatever is ready-made."

So before the stool was seated in front of Re Songxi, the table was served with eight-treasure rabbit diced, deep-fried quail, braised red shellfish, sweet and sour lotus root and other dishes. Guard B faithfully introduced the dishes and said: " The third master said, if the master is going to start the interrogation, then we will withdraw this dish first, and wait for the master to finish his business before using it."

All these people were waiting, and Song Xi was not easy to eat, so he could only watch the dishes being served one by one, and then retreated one by one.His family, Song Xiaopang, is such a flaw that must be reported.Song Xi pumped his bare ass into a big steamed bun in his heart, felt relieved, and then ordered someone to bring the captured person up.

This person is a few years older than Song Xiniang, with a handsome face, but he is dressed like a Jianghu person.People like this generally don't like to deal with people from the government, but this person seems to bump into them on purpose, which is really puzzling.What's even more puzzling is that this person claimed that he and Song Xi were old acquaintances, that's why Guard A was in a hurry to report it.

"My person is here, girl, you can speak directly if you have something to say." Song Xi ordered someone to untie her acupoints.

The woman sized him up carefully, but said something else, "Young master looks good, you two brothers don't look alike!"

Seeing her mentioning Song Badai, Song Xi couldn't help being more vigilant, and his face became a little cold, "Young lady's words are strange. They say we don't look like each other, so how can we say we are brothers?" He came up, obviously he was waiting here early in the morning, could it be that he really belongs to Prince Rui?

Seeing Song Xi's doubts, she smiled, "I know, of course someone told me. That person also said that he failed to arrive at the appointment with the capital back then. I don't know if his two juniors could blame him. !"

It's Mr. Qiu!

The three-year agreement that Mr. Qiu made with them before the children's examination room was in the end just a casual remark.Later they went to the capital, but learned that Mr. Qiu had left the capital.Afterwards, they fought around with the Duke of the country. That agreement had long been a dream, and they never expected to say it from this woman in such a place.

"It turned out to be Mr. Qiu's friend, so I offended you." Song Xi hurriedly ordered someone to untie her other acupoints, and said, "The friends outside the door must have come here for the girl, right?" Turning her head and sweeping Glancing at guard A, "Tsing Yi!"

"Yes!" Tsing Yi turned and went out.

Suddenly hearing his real name, Tsing Yi burst into tears.Ever since Song Badai, a patient with prosopagnosia, numbered them "A, B, C, D, W, Ji, G, Xin, Ren, Gui", they almost forgot their real names, and it was difficult for the master to call them out.

As soon as Tsing Yi went out, the woman stood up and cupped her hands towards Song Xi, "It turns out that Mr. Song has already found out, but I judge people by their appearance. My name is Ning Fangxuan, and the Mr. Qiu you are talking about is my husband."

"It turned out to be Mrs. Qiu, and I really offended you just now." Unexpectedly, Mr. Qiu married such a heroic woman as his wife because of his weak writing.

Ning Fangxuan waved her hand, "People in Jianghu, don't be polite. I came to you this time because I was entrusted by my husband. You must have come here for the case of Xu Rushan, Governor of Liangjiang, right? Xu Rushan is the second official. For more than ten years, not only has he amassed wealth and searched wantonly, but with the rise of the First Prince, he has even collected bribes from those seeking official positions. The Xu family's private forest has a radius of hundreds of miles."

Before Song Xi came here, he had already heard from his grandfather about Xu Rushan's bad deeds. What Ning Fangxuan said was just the tip of the iceberg. Xu Rushan even reached out to Jiangnan to collect taxes.Jiangnan's annual tax payment to the court is comparable to that of medium-sized cities such as Xuzhou and Wenzhou. With the abundance of Jiangnan, it is almost self-evident whose pockets the extra money will end up in.

It's just that Xu Rushan was cautious in doing things, not only kept the account books clean, but also beat and wooed the officials involved, and even had the support of the eldest prince in the court.If you want to move him, unless you have real evidence.

Thinking of this, Song Xi's heart moved, "Sir asked Madam to come, could it be... Mr.? Why didn't you come with Madam?"

Ning Fangxuan showed a sullen expression, "My husband has been arrested by Xu Rushan, and his life and death are unknown. You must have heard of Mr. Zhou Ke Zhou's name, right? He used to be the governor of Suzhou, and he was a rare and upright official. Xu Rushan joined forces with others, was falsely accused of collaborating with the enemy, and all his families were copied and executed."

Song Xi has indeed heard about this matter, it must have happened three years ago, when he went to battle Qiliang with Lu Guogong, originally Qiliang was planning to retreat because of the shortage of food and grass, who knows that someone detoured from Jiangnan and killed hundreds of soldiers. Wan's grain, grass, and military supplies were sold to Qiliang at a low price, which led to a tug-of-war that could have ended in a year, and many soldiers and civilians were killed and injured.Naturally, today he was furious, and after careful investigation, he found Zhou Ke's eldest son. Because of the fact that the big prince's party was helping the court, he finally sentenced Zhou's family to be executed.

After learning about this, Duke Lu went to the memorial to thoroughly investigate the case of the Zhou family, but happened to be in poor health and was suppressed because of the eldest prince's regent.Whenever Lu Guogong talked about Zhou Ke, he couldn't help sighing.

"Old Mr. Zhou Ke is an upright person, and he is an irreversible friend with your husband. For the old man's affairs, your husband ran around, even refused Qin Shoufu's invitation to stay, and invited him to work in Jiangnan. The reason for this is to find out about this matter. It's a pity that this matter has not been investigated, and my husband was taken away by Xu Rushan's people."

Ning Fangxuan whistled, a black shadow flew past, it was one of the people who were stopped by Tsing Yi just now.He is thin and thin, with a light body and excellent lightness kung fu, if only relying on Tsing Yi alone, it may be difficult to catch him.He covered his face and didn't talk to others, he directly took out a cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Ning Fangxuan, and flew out again under his feet.

"This is what my husband asked me to hand over to you." Ning Fangxuan put the cloth bag in front of Song Xi, "Now that I have fulfilled my husband's order, I will take my leave first."

"Wait, Madam Qiu!" Song Xi stopped her, "You guys are planning to..."

"You guessed right, and I'm not afraid to tell you that a few friends and I plan to go to prison." Ning Fangxuan smiled, "In fact, if it wasn't for waiting for you, we would have gone three days ago. Today is my If you haven't reached the deadline, I will take this thing in exchange for my husband's life."

...It's really straightforward!

Song Xi cupped his hands at her, "If Madam can trust me, you might as well listen to me." Seeing that Ning Fangxuan did not object, he continued: "Don't talk about my friendship with Mr. Qiu, just talk about Xu Rushan's case, if you want to settle For Xu Rushan's crime, the witness of Mr. is indispensable. Therefore, both public and private, my wife and I have the same goal. What is missing right now is the rescue method. Madam, can you wait for a while and discuss it later? Make plans later."

Ning Fangxuan hesitated for a moment before saying: "I thank you on behalf of my husband. I will stay at the Yuelai Inn in front and leave in two hours."

After sending Ning Fangxuan away, Song Xi returned to the room.There were eight large plates on the table, and an extra plate was placed under them. They were warmed with hot water, and the dishes were still warm.

As soon as he saw Song Xi, Song Badai yawned and climbed down from the bed, brought him a bowl of chopsticks, and filled him with a bowl of soup, as considerate as a little daughter-in-law.All anger in Song Xi's heart dissipated, she sat down next to him, and ate a full meal with the little leftover food.

After dinner, Song Xi gave an overview of Mr. Qiu's affairs.

Song Badai was full of worry, "I don't know what's wrong with Mr. I heard people say that people who extract confessions can use any means. A weak scholar like Mr.... How are you going to save Mr. Qiu?"

Song Xi patted the back of his hand, "In addition to the 26 people from Anbu, we also brought 42 guards with us, a total of 40 people. Anbu has to keep two people for communication, and there are [-] people left. I plan to divide the army into three." You can go back to Beijing with a third of them, and send this account book to your grandfather. Half of the remaining people will go to rescue Mr. Qiu, and half will follow me into Suzhou to divert Xu Rushan's attention."

"No way!" Song Badai refused without even thinking about it, "Right now there is not enough manpower, and it is too dangerous to divide the troops into three groups. I think so, send two people to send the account books back to Beijing, you take half of the troops in Ming Dynasty, and the rest The people who come with me will join Madam Chou. I know some medical skills, maybe it will come in handy."

"No!" Now it was Song Xi's turn to object.

Song Badai stopped him from saying, "Second brother, I know you are worried about my safety, but this is the best way right now. I can also fight with my fists. There is absolutely no problem with self-protection. Besides, we are in the dark, but we are safe But you, second brother, here the sky is high and the emperor is far away, there is nothing Xu Rushan can't do, you have to be careful in everything."

Once the Song and Eight Dynasties became stubborn, even nine horses would not be able to pull them back.
