After the prince enters the play

Chapter 112 112: Assassination
Su Yi didn't notice Yang Jin's subtle tone, so he really said it very sincerely.

Yang Jin: ...

You don't have to tell me!

Li Ji's news can be inquired at such a fast speed, is this still a human being?
"How did the sixth girl find out about Li Ji?" Yang Jin asked secretly, knowing the way of the sixth girl, he also wanted to come to a corner to overtake.

Su Yi didn't know, he didn't ask his sister, so he shook his head.

Yang Jin looked at Su Yi without saying a word, this eldest son was really the purest and most honest he had ever seen.

Here the crown prince met with Su Yi and accepted the evidence he sent. These evidences are indeed very important, and although the matter about Li Ji still needs to be verified, Yan Junchu thought of Su Xinyi's nature. She doesn't seem like a rumor. people.

I'm afraid that these news may be true in all likelihood, Yan Junchu couldn't help chuckling when he heard Su Yi talk about the source of the quoted papers and other things.

Taking an unconventional path is indeed something Miss Su Liu would do.

After Su Yi reported the matter, he felt relieved, and he heard the prince ask: "Who else knows about Li Ji?"

Su Yi said: "Sister She only told me that she will go south to Huaining with her family in a few days, and it is impossible to tell others about this."

Yan Junchu was taken aback for a moment, and then asked calmly, "Miss Su Liu, is going to worship the ancestors in Huaining's hometown?"

Su Yi smiled honestly, "Yes, since you are a member of our family, of course you have to write your name on the genealogy of your hometown, inform your relatives, and pay homage to your ancestors."

Yan Junchu said: "This is a happy event."

Su Yi nodded, he also thought it was a good thing.As for the matter that his sister was going back to Huaining with his niece, he didn't say anything about it. After all, it involved Shi Zhongqian. This kind of household chores would hurt both sides no matter what.

Yan Junchu looked at Su Yi and Yang Jin, "How about going south to Huaining?"

Yang Jin immediately said: "This subordinate is willing to share the worries for His Highness."

Su Yi was a step late. He didn't expect such a big job to fall on him, so he also said, "This subordinate is willing."

"Then go get ready." Yan Junchu nodded, "Li Guifei and Grand Master Li are standing behind Li Ji, you must be cautious when you go south, don't startle the snake, and collect evidence."

"Yes." The two replied in unison.

On the other side, Su Xinyi also got news from her mother that their mother and daughter were going to Huaining together.

Su Jingmo and Su Xixian are so envious. Su Chaoyan doesn't fight or grab, but he doesn't feel anything special.

"I heard that the Su family in Huaining is more magnificent than the Duke's Mansion in the capital, so I really want to go back and have a look." Su Jingmo said with great yearning, it was the old residence of the Su family after all.

Su Xixian nodded, "Yes, it's a pity we can't go."

If there are too many people going, the team's goal is too big, so it will naturally be noticed by Shi Zhongqian, and it would be annoying enough to be watched by him.

Moreover, their sisters are about the same age, and they have to stay in the capital to watch their marriage. The third wife certainly doesn't want her daughter to travel back and forth for several months to delay her lifelong event.

Although Su Yi couldn't accompany him as an escort, the fourth lady couldn't really let the fourth wife take him with him at home, if he encounters a place where he has to deal with officials on the road, it's better to have a male come forward.

So Su Qi, who was studying in the academy, was called back, and he stayed at home for the second time. Su Yi, the eldest brother, couldn't go, so he had to take the lead.

Su Qi used to go back to his hometown with his father, and when he received an errand, he happily agreed, and he was able to go out with his sixth younger sister. The road must be very lively. It was joy from heaven.

In order to ensure the safety on the road, Duke Su Mi of the State of Qi even inquired about it. It was a coincidence that the officers and troops of the Ping Ning Guard were passing through Huaining, so he asked the Commander of the Ping Ning Guard, Xie Jing Lue, to take care of them all the way.

Su Mi is not as good as his fourth brother, Weiming Broadcasting, because he is honest and honest, compared to Su Chun, who has more ideas and thieves, and has a quick eye, he is quite good.

Moreover, Huaining is not far from Pingningwei, and every year they send some rice flour padded clothes to the surrounding guards. Of course, Pingningwei has also received benefits from the Su family, so after listening to Su Mi's words, Xie Jinglue immediately agreed.

Xie Jinglue is as his name suggests, even though he is a military general, he looks very refined and has the demeanor of a Confucian general, and he speaks in a calm and unhurried manner, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.

"Master Guo's request, I will naturally not refuse." Xie Jing said with a slight smile, "Speaking of which, I will return to Beijing to reassess my duties, but I have heard a lot about the deeds of Miss Su Liu in a short period of time. I once met Fourth Master Su, but the time we met was short but we had a good relationship, Fourth Master Su died for the country, and the general respects him very much."

When mentioning the fourth brother, Su Mi's expression was also a bit sad, "As a soldier, this is his mission, guarding the frontier, and being loyal to the king is his duty. The fourth brother died well, and our whole family is proud of him. "

After Xie Jinglue and Su Mi had a drink, the matter was settled, and Qi Guogong took out a sum of money to garrison Ping Ningwei, so everyone was happy.

Knowing that the commander escorted them all the way, everyone in Duke Qi's mansion of course breathed a sigh of relief, and they were really relieved now.

The night before leaving, Mrs. Tai called Su Baiwei, looked at her and said, "I have already written a letter to the old house, you can take Sister Yun to stay at ease."

Su Baiwei hurriedly stood up and bowed to her grandmother, "Because my affairs have bothered my grandmother, it's because my granddaughter is unfilial."

"What nonsense." Mrs. Tai smiled, patted Su Baiwei's hand and said: "Although you are reconciled, it is not uncommon for Nan Qi and Li to remarry. There are familiar faces everywhere in the capital. That's easy to say, but in Huaining, I'll ask your third uncle and grandma to palm your eyes to see if there is any suitable candidate."

"Grandmother..." Su Baiwei was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect to remarry so soon.

"Listen to what grandma said." Mrs. Tai looked at Goddess Sun with a serious expression, "You are at the best age now, you only have one daughter, sister Yun, and even if you remarry, you can find a good family. Grandma doesn't insist that you marry In Huaining, I want you to see if there is anyone you like, if there is no suitable one, you can talk about it after you come back in a year or so."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Tai took a breath and said: "If you can meet the right one in Huaining, you will marry, stay away from the capital, stay away from the historian, this is good for sister Yun and you. Grandma told you this, is it I want you to have an idea in your heart first, and if there is something suitable, please write back, and I will ask your parents to go back and have a look for themselves, and I will hold your eyes for you."

Su Baiwei knew her grandmother's intentions, her eyes turned red, and she nodded in response, "Granddaughter will remember."

"Why are you crying? If you really can't find a suitable one, you will never marry for the rest of your life, and the house can accommodate you. You can advance or retreat, and stand upright." The wife said.

"Yes." Su Baiwei laughed while crying.

When Su Baiwei left, Mother Yu looked at Mrs. Tai's expression and cautiously persuaded: "Mrs. Tai, you are right. This person always needs to find a partner. When sister Yun grows up and gets married in the future, I just want to marry you." How lonely it is to be alone with the eldest girl, if I can find a suitable person, I can have someone to rely on for the rest of my life."

Mrs. Tai gave a long sigh, "Bai Wei is good in everything, but she is too considerate of others, let's see her luck."

This time, they went out quietly to Duke Qi's mansion. On the first day of their departure, the family held a farewell banquet for them. In the early morning of the next day, Su Qi led the motorcade from Duke Qi's mansion to the city gate to meet with the commander in the morning dew. Make the confluence go south.

Su Qi, Commander Xie and others rode forward on horseback. Su Xinyi and the fourth wife had a car, Su Baiwei's mother and daughter had a car, and there was an accompanying vehicle arranged by the Duke's Mansion behind them to ensure what was needed on the road.

Xie Jinglue went to Beijing to report his duties, and he brought not many people. One of the lieutenants was Fan Pengchi, the commander of Ping Ningwei. This commander had a completely different style from their commander. Seeing such a white and tender son like Su Qi, although he didn't show it on the face, there was a bit of disdain in his eyes.

When they were dozens of miles away from the capital, more than a dozen people came to meet Xie Jinglue and others. Su Xinyi sat in the car and raised the curtain to see this scene, feeling thoughtful.

Although Su Qi is a white-faced scholar who looks weak, he rode his horse all day without crying out, and he didn't look like he was holding on. When he camped for dinner, Fan Pengchi's attitude towards Su Qi Visibly getting better.

The female relatives started the stove on the other side, naturally there were girls and women busy, and there was also a cook accompanying them, now even the people with Ping Ningwei didn't have to eat dry food, they drank hot soup and ate hot food. After dinner, Su Qi took advantage of the opportunity to warm up with them.

Su Xinyi looked at him and felt that his second brother was not good for his appearance, but he didn't realize that he still had such abilities.

Mrs. Su and Su Baiwei didn't care about these things. After finishing the cooking for sister Yun, Su Baiwei took her daughter back to the car to rest.

Fourth Madam Su looked at Su Xinyi and said, "We also rested earlier, and we have to leave early tomorrow morning."

Su Xinyi nodded, "Mom, you go first. I'll wait for my second brother and come back later."

Fourth Mrs. Su got into the carriage after a few words of advice. The carriages for long journeys were specially remodeled. Once the partitions of the carriages were spread out, they would become a bed, and they could sleep on it with a thick brocade mattress.

Sitting in front of the bonfire, Su Xinyi remembered what her grandfather told her before leaving. Ping Ningwei had some contacts with the Su family in Huaining, and the relationship was not far or close. This time, asking them to escort the uncle was also giving Ping Ningwei the money to repair the house. .

As the day went on, Su Xinyi secretly observed Xie Jinglue and Fan Pengchi. Needless to say, Fan Pengchi was strong enough to run around all day.

On the contrary, the interpretation of the scriptures is a bit impressive. The commanders of the guards in various places are hereditary. When the father dies in battle, the son goes up, and the son dies in the battle, and the grandson goes up. Full salary during lifetime.

Xie Jinglue also looks like a white-faced scholar, but Su Xinyi has observed carefully that this person is skilled in riding a horse, and he does not feel tired after long-distance travel, and he does not put on airs when dealing with his second brother, and he looks very easy to get along with.

It makes sense to think about it, hereditary inheritance is not an unconditional automatic inheritance, and all military officer children who should be inherited need to participate in the competition held by the Military Selection Department.Through a strict hereditary selection system, the descendants of military officers are prevented from sitting on the imperial rations.

Xie Jinglue can successfully inherit the position of commander, of course he is not an idiot.

The more this was the case, the more vigilant Su Xinyi became. In her previous life, she had suffered too much from this kind of laughing tiger, and she was in tears just thinking about it.

Not long after, Su Qi came back, looked at Su Xinyi with a smile and said, "Sister Six hasn't rested yet?"

"I'm waiting for my second brother." Su Xinyi smiled, stepped aside, and motioned for his second brother to sit down and talk.

Su Qi sat down, smiled and said, "What do you want to ask?"

Su Xinyi was also happy, "Second brother is really smart."

The place where they sat was surrounded by open space, and they could see if there was anyone around them when they looked up, so it was safe to talk here.

"After this day, I feel that Xie Commander is very easy to get along with. Fan Qianshi around him is a little bit more tempered."

Su Xinyi nodded when he heard the words, "Naturally, those who offend others are subordinates, and the immediate boss is a good person."

Su Qi: ...

These words are not rough.

"I don't see many things in a day, but since my father asked me to entrust him, he is considerate to the people in our house, which is enough." Su Qi said, his family told him that he must take care of the sixth younger sister on the way, he But dare not be careless.

Su Xinyi was happy, "I know, don't worry, second brother, I promise not to cause trouble."

Su Qi was a little embarrassed, coughed lightly and said: "I also found out something, do you remember the person who met us later today?"

Su Xinyi nodded, of course he remembered.

"There is a prisoner who was exiled from the army." It was the first time Su Qi saw the prisoner who was exiled from the army, and he couldn't help feeling a little bit sad, "I heard it was from the Wuxuan Division."

The Wuxuan Division is a fat job. He is in charge of the selection, promotion, succession and reward of the local officials of the Guards.It is true that being an official here is a fat job, but it is also very dangerous. If you are caught accidentally, you will be decapitated or exiled.

Officials in the Southern Qi Dynasty were not more tolerant than those in the previous dynasties. Officials were killed more than once, families were exterminated, and the same list of Jinshi was wiped out. Such a tough law can only be seen in the Southern Qi Dynasty.

It's like the ancestral foundation of Duke Qin's mansion is not weak, but when the Yanyin case is involved, once the evidence is convincing, Duke Qin's home will be ransacked and imprisoned.

Su Xinyi looked at the second brother and said, "It seems that this one should be exiled to Pingningwei."

Su Qi said: "Sixth Sister is really smart."

Xie Jinglue came to Beijing to report on his duties, just in time to take the people who were exiled to their guards back on the way, so as not to make another trip for the escorted officials.

Seeing nothing at the moment, Su Xinyi looked at the second brother and said, "Second brother also go to rest quickly, it's hard work after riding a horse all day."

Su Qi just felt fortunate that he didn't slack off when he went to the academy to study, otherwise not to mention riding a horse for a day, half a day would be enough for him.

Just thinking about riding a horse all the way to Huaining, he wished he could fly there with his wings.

The next day they had breakfast early in the morning and they set out on the road. The scenery along the way gradually became different. Unlike the prosperity of the capital, the villages and countryside were all different along the way.

The densely populated places will be richer, and the sparsely populated places will naturally be bleak.

The checkpoints on the official road are very strict, even if there are Xie Jinglue and others accompanying them, and the jade plaque of the Duke of Qi's mansion, the checkpoints still carefully check the official documents and guides.

After several days of traveling, it was better for Su Xinyi and others to ride in a carriage, but Su Qi couldn't take it anymore.

Fourth Madam Su felt a little distressed when she saw it, she looked at Su Qi and said, "You also come in and take the car, let's talk about it after a day's rest."

Su Qi shook his head, although the carriage was spacious, but the fourth aunt and sixth younger sister would feel cramped if there was one more him.There is a child in the eldest sister's carriage at the back, and it is not convenient for him to go there.

Su Xinyi rolled his eyes, looked at Su Qi and said, "Second brother, let's change, I've been stuck in the car for the past few days, and you let me ride a horse to stretch my muscles, okay?"

Su Qi immediately said: "How can that be done, the people riding horses outside are all men, you are a girl..."

"It's the same if I put on a Hu suit." Su Xinyi said with a smile, "And riding on a horse, who has the time to talk and chat? Second brother, can you let me ride for a day, just one day."

Su Qi really couldn't bear it anymore, so he hesitated for a while.

The Fourth Madam Su said immediately when she saw it: "I'll go to the back and help Bai Wei look after Sister Yun. This carriage will give you a rest for a day."

After the discussion, Su Xinyi went back to the carriage after breakfast and changed his clothes. The fish-bellied Hufu was nice and comfortable, and he stepped on Su Qi's horse very neatly with calfskin boots on his feet.

Fourth Mrs. Su also asked the girl to send the things she used to Su Baiwei's carriage, and gave the carriage to Su Qi. Su Qi didn't refuse when he saw it, and thanked Fourth Aunt and Sixth Sister.

He hobbled into the carriage, spread out his quilt, and let his servants follow him in. He took off his trousers and saw that the places where the ointment was applied on both thighs were all swollen and slightly purple. too bitter.

Su Qi: ...

"Master, you can't ride a horse anymore, you have to rest for a few days." Chang Dayou took the ointment and applied it to the young master, being careful not to aggravate the injury.

Outside, Su Xinyi didn't show off when he was riding a horse, but followed the Su family's convoy in an orderly manner, keeping some distance from Xie Jinglue and others in front of him, and asked Chang Dafu, the boy next to the second brother, to explain , so as not to be misunderstood.

The climate in the south is different from that of the capital city. It is humid and rainy, with a lot of water, and it feels moist on the face when it is breathed on.

At the end of the day, the people from the Jinglue side didn't bother Su Xinyi, and Su Xinyi obediently followed the carriage. The sun was still shining brightly in the morning, but the sky darkened shortly after lunch. Su Xinyi looked up at the sky, It is estimated that it will rain.

But she didn't talk too much, the people in front of her were people who were used to walking outside, and they would definitely check the weather. Sure enough, after explaining the classics, she sent people ahead to scout the road to find post stations and inns.

It didn't take long for Su Xinyi to see someone riding back and answering in front of Jinglue, and soon someone came to inform, "Miss Liu, the commander said that it will rain today, go to the inn ahead to shelter from the rain, you see OK?"

Of course, Su Xinyi would not make it difficult for others. There is no post here, so she should find an inn to settle down, so she said, "Understood, tell the commander to thank him for his trouble."

Xiao Bing hurriedly went to answer the call, and when Jie Jinglue got the answer, he immediately accelerated his speed.

It didn't take long for them to arrive at the inn. The inn in the town is not big. Unfortunately, before they arrived, there were also caravans who settled here, and the room became tense.

Su Qi got off the carriage, walked to Su Xinyi's side and said, "Sixth Sister, get back in the carriage first, I'll go and have a look."

Su Xinyi shook his head, "Let's go with my second brother."

Su Qi didn't refuse either, so he took Su Xinyi and walked towards Jiejinglue. As soon as he got close, he heard Fan Pengchi's loud voice and asked, "How many vacancies do you have?"

"Officer, plus the not-so-good rooms in the backyard, there are still ten rooms in total." Looking at such a group of people, the waiter felt timid, and hurried forward to answer when he heard the question.

"How many connected rooms are there?" Fan Pengchi asked dissatisfied, ten rooms were not enough for them.

"Four rooms." The shop clerk looked at the frowning person in front of him, his voice trembling with fright.

Fan Pengchi looked at the waiter in the shop, "Go and negotiate with the people in the caravan and ask them to give up the connected rooms. I will pay for their hotel tonight."

The waiter hurriedly responded and ran away.

Su Xinyi heard the second brother beside him say: "We are newcomers, it's too dangerous to live separately, and it's right for Fan Qianshi to do so."

Su Xinyi nodded, looked at his second brother and said, "I didn't expect Fan Chen to be very meticulous in his work."

Su Qi smiled and said: "March and fight, go out to survey the terrain, set up camps, these are all things you need to know, and staying in a hotel is similar. We have a lot of people and we have female relatives, so of course we must be careful."

The two brothers and sisters were talking, and the adjustment was quickly made over there, and the caravan agreed to give up the room.

When the members of the caravan changed rooms, Xie Jinglue personally told the fourth lady through the curtain of the carriage, and then arranged the female family members of the Duke's mansion in two adjacent rooms, and Su Qi's room was next to them, and Gave a room for servants.

In this way, the Duke's Mansion occupied four rooms, the few rooms given up by the caravan, Xie Jinglue and Fan Pengchi had one room, and the rooms on the east and west sides were occupied by accompanying sergeants for the convenience of night guards.

The rest of the people plus the other accompanying handymen in the Duke's Mansion can only live in the backyard room, and more people have to squeeze into one room. The conditions of the small place are like this, and everyone can't complain. If there is a place to live good.

Just after checking in, Su Xinyi helped the fourth wife into the room, and the heavy rain fell outside, and everyone whispered that it was a fluke, and it would rain if it was too late.

After Su Xinyi settled her mother, she was about to go out to see her elder sister and sister Yun, when she suddenly heard a faint sound, mixed with the sound of rain, and it was hard to tell the difference without careful distinction.

Su Xinyi immediately motioned for her mother to go to the eldest sister's room, held the waist knife in her hand, slowed down and walked to the window, and suddenly pushed the window open, only to hear a click as if something had hit her.

Su Xinyi clenched her waist knife tightly, and flew out in an instant, only to see a black shadow flashing up to the roof, and she immediately chased after it.

At this moment, the window next door opened instantly, Xie Jinglue and Fan Pengchi poked their heads out, Fan Pengchi cursed, grabbed the window with both hands and turned over and went up to the roof.

Jie Jinglue frowned, turned back from behind the window, immediately summoned people to guard, and ordered a few more people to chase Fan Pengchi and Su Xinyi immediately.
