Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 802 Don't be in a hurry

Chi Ge looked at Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, and the sleepy Song Qiyun sitting in front of him, with a wry smile on his face.

"Your Highness, Grand Duke, General, no matter what urgent matters, you should have breakfast, right? Look at you, have you stayed up all night?" He coughed twice, "Your age Although you are young, you should take good care of your body, otherwise, when you reach my age, you will have to worry."

"I'm really sorry for your troubles, we will take good care of ourselves, we will be very healthy, and we are guaranteed to live longer than you and your son."

Song Qiyun's tone was very blunt. When he was in the palace last night, he had already seen the dossier sent to the palace by Xuanyuan Liang and Tantai Pingchuan. The two brothers worked hard all night and came up with the same idea as Shen Cha. conclusion.Therefore, when he faced Mr. Chi Ge again, his attitude was very tough, and he didn't save any face for Mr. Chi Ge.

"What is the meaning of this, Your Highness?"

Mr. Chi Ge sensed Song Qiyun's faint anger, and felt that something was wrong. Although he had been an official for a long time, he had been a lecturer in the palace, and he still had a good reputation. He has almost never encountered someone who blatantly confronts him, especially disrespects him, so he feels very surprised and shocked.He looked at Song Qiyun with some puzzlement, wondering if the prince ate something wrong with breakfast.

"Today, this king is here to interrogate you on behalf of your majesty, so I won't talk about those polite nonsense." Song Qiyun smiled mockingly at Mr. Chi Ge, "This king asks you, and you answer, if you lie... ..." He waved his hand behind him, and two shadows holding maces came to stand on both sides of Chi Gelao, "Don't blame me for not respecting me."

Chi Ge looked at the shadows on his left and right sides, and at the mace in their hands. On the surface, he was very cute, and nodded to a few people, showing that he would know everything and say everything, but in his heart But he didn't take it seriously, to be honest, he really didn't believe that Song Qiyun dared to do anything to him.If torture is really used, the consequences are not something these children can afford.

Shen Cha saw what Chi Ge was thinking in his heart, and raised his eyebrows at the two shadows. The two shadows received the general's order, and waved the mace in their hands towards Chi Ge's back.

When he was still complacent, he suddenly received a few whips on his back, and the pain made old Chi Ge's eyes go dark, and he almost passed out.It never occurred to him that the three children in front of him didn't show affection at all, and directly attacked him.

"You...you..."

"Old Chi Ge, you need to recognize your identity now, you are no longer the dean of the Taixue, you are just a prisoner." Shen Haolin looked at Elder Chi Ge indifferently, "Let's save your prestige! "

"By the way, I forgot to tell you that the Chi Mansion has been raided, and the homes of your favorite students have also been guarded by the Imperial Army and the Patrol Battalion. They are already too busy to take care of themselves and have no time to save you." Shen Cha said calmly. With a smile, "So, you should listen to us honestly, otherwise, we don't know what we will do to you."

"You... how can you behave like this, it's too much!"

"It's very polite to treat you like this. Usually, we give a hundred whips to those who collude with foreigners and those who have ulterior motives."

"I... I didn't! When will I..."

Shen Cha stretched out his hand to interrupt old Chi Ge's defense, and waved towards him.

"Whether you have colluded with foreigners or with people with ulterior motives, you know it in your heart, and we know it too, so there is no need to argue."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"It's okay, you can think about it slowly, we're not in a hurry." Shen Cha waved his hand towards Shadow, "If you can't remember it, we don't mind using some means to help you recall it."

Chi Ge's old attitude wanted to continue to be tough, but seeing the mocking smile on Shen Cha's face, and the ready to move whips in the hands of the two shadows beside him, he opened his mouth a few times and then closed it.After thinking for a long time, he sighed softly.

"What do you want to know? As long as I know, I will tell you."

"Wouldn't it be better to do this earlier? You have to be whipped twice, do you scholars like to be cheap in your bones?" Song Qiyun snorted, and saw Mei Lin, who was in charge of recording the statement, make a ready gesture towards him, Gently tap on the table, "The first question, Chi Hong is not your biological son, you picked it up outside, right?"

Hearing Song Qiyun's words, Mr. Chi Ge hesitated for a while, then nodded slowly.

"That's right, he's not my own son, I saved him accidentally." He sighed deeply, "That winter, I was ordered by the emperor to accompany Lord Zhen, who was then the military commander of Wucheng, to The soldiers at the Southwest Border Pass visited the border pass and met a group of robbers on the way back. There are people from the Wucheng Bingmasi, and it is easy to clean up the robbers. After killing these robbers, we know that this is not an ordinary They are not robbers, but a group of human smugglers who abducted many children from Yancheng and wanted to sell them to the south of the Yangtze River."

"Among them Chi Hong?"

"Yes!" Mr. Chi Ge nodded lightly, "According to the account of this group of criminals, they brought out a total of 23 children from Yancheng, seven of them were abducted at the lantern festival, and the remaining sixteen were their children. Bought from the parents of these children. It’s just that the weather is cold and the distance is long, these children cannot bear to travel long distances, and only 23 of the [-] children remain.”

"It's already quite a lot." Shen Cha looked at Shen Haolin and Song Qiyun, "It's also because the place where you rescued them, Mr. Ge, is not far from Yancheng. Otherwise, the number should be much less than this."

"The general is right, Master Zhen also said so at the time. Even so, the situation of these children is not particularly good. Most of the children are beaten and scolded by human traffickers because they are not full of food and clothing. There were three or five children who had a high fever and persisted. Although they were treated in time, some root causes were left behind." Chi Ge looked at the three people in front of him, "Do you remember the past? There is one who can’t hear the sound, and there are a few who can’t speak and don’t communicate with others.” He sighed softly, “It’s just that after Xiaohong recovered from his illness, he can’t remember the past and doesn’t know his own life. What's your name, I don't know what relatives I have..." He looked at the three people in front of him and explained, "If you know your name, where your home is, and want to go home urgently, we will send people to send them back. There are only a few children left who don't want to go home and can't remember their past, except for Xiaohong, the others have been properly arranged."

"Why other than Chi Hong?"

"After he recovers from his illness, no one can approach him except me, so I have no choice but to take him home."

"In this way, he has become the youngest child of the Chi family." Song Qiyun nodded, then changed the subject and asked a key question, "You have already known since then that Chi Hong is actually Mrs. Teng... No, It should be said that this child is related to that mysterious Tantai family, right? If it weren't for your confirmation of this, you wouldn't have brought him home, right?"
