Sir, I just want to be a salted fish

"Okay, tomorrow I will accompany my wife back to Rongguo Duke's Mansion to inform the elders about this matter, and also to reassure the elders that we can go out."

The young couple discussed the people and luggage they would bring with them for this outing, including the people who would serve and escort them daily. There were a lot of things to take care of before going out.

The next day, Jiang Shunian, Tang Bingxuan and Mrs. Qiao, the Marquis of Yongning, said they would go back to the Rongguo Palace. In addition to the homecoming gifts prepared by the young couple, Qiao also prepared something for them, saying: "These It’s my own intention and has nothing to do with you and your wife, so I can’t refuse it for others in the Rongguo Palace.”

Jiang Shunian didn't care, and Tang Bingxuan readily accepted her mother-in-law's thoughtfulness. She even put her arms around Mrs. Qiao's shoulders and coquettishly refused to leave. It was Mrs. Qiao who saw that it was getting late and urged the two of them to return to their parents' home quickly, and then the two of them got on the carriage and returned to Rong. Visiting relatives at the Duke's Mansion.

Tang Bingxuan and Jiang Shunian had already sent people to deliver the news to Rongguo Duke's Mansion in advance yesterday. Today, anyone who has nothing important to do will be waiting for the couple at home.

The wife had not seen her eldest granddaughter for more than a month. When she saw Tang Bingxuan, her eyes became sore and swollen. She held her eldest granddaughter's hand and was reluctant to let go.

Jiang Shunian saluted and said hello to several female elders, and then went to the study room in the outer courtyard with Rong Guogong and his uncle Tang Wensong who stayed at home specially, leaving Tang Bingxuan behind to talk privately with the female elders at home.

...

Entering the study, Jiang Shunian solemnly informed his father-in-law, Rong Guogong, of the couple's travel plans.

"Father-in-law, my son-in-law plans to take his wife out for a walk. This time, the furthest possible destination is Yunzhou."

Duke Rong Guo was a little surprised when he heard Jiang Shunian's words. He had just been married for more than a month and was about to go on a long trip. "Why are you leaving so urgently?"

Facing the inquiry from his father-in-law Rong Guogong, Jiang Shunian could only bite the bullet and reply respectfully: "Father-in-law, Xuan'er and I plan to have children in two years, so we hope to go out more when we don't have the burden of children. Let’s take a tour of the great rivers and mountains of our Ling country.”

Then Jiang Shunian told his father-in-law that Tang Bingxuan told him about the woman's physical conditions suitable for pregnancy. When Rong Guogong saw that the young couple gave birth to a child two years later or went out for fun, Jiang Shunian truly cared for his daughter. I feel very happy about the decision I made.

My nephew Tang Wenyun had previously told the elders in the family that he had also decided to travel for two years. The young man would go out for a trip to see the world and gain knowledge, so he did not ask further questions.

In Songhe Courtyard, Tang Bingxuan also told several elders such as Mrs. Shao and her mother Liu that she would go out with Jiang Shunian. Because Jiang Shunian was with her, the elders did not object, but they all told her to go out. People be careful when going out.

Mrs. Liu, the Duke's wife, heard that her daughter and son-in-law were going as far as Yunzhou, and she couldn't help but feel homesick. She took Tang Bingxuan to the inner room of the main courtyard, and the mother and daughter sat down and began to talk.

"Does mother want to bring something to my two uncles' families in Yunzhou?"

Mrs. Liu, the Duke's wife, has not been back to her parents' home for several years. Every New Year's holiday, the two families send each other gifts, and they exchange letters every few months, but the home they lived in before they got married will always be so clear in their memories.

"It's better for you to reduce your luggage as much as possible when you go out for fun, otherwise it will be too much trouble; I'd better write a letter and ask your uncles to take care of you more in Yunzhou."

When two young couples go out, there will always be inconveniences. Mrs. Liu will feel at ease if she has her parents in Yunzhou to take care of them.

...Since the founding of the Ling Kingdom, the founding emperor began to secretly cultivate power. On the one hand, he helped the emperor deal with some difficult matters; on the other hand, he also secretly supervised and controlled the court and the world.

The hidden guards are a mysterious force that belongs only to outside the court, including the sons of high-ranking officials and people in the world. Tang San Ye, Tang Jingrui, is the leader of the hidden guards of the current Emperor Ling.

The first generation of emperor's hidden guard leader was the grandfather of Rong Guogong, and then it was passed to the old Duke.

Du Xian'er was a member of the Jianghu who joined the Jianghu to repay a favor when the old Duke was the leader of the hidden guard. At that time, the old Duke saw that his granddaughter Tang Bingxuan was very smart at a young age, but because the Duke's wife Liu had many affairs, he could not take her into consideration. Lonely, he brought Du Xian'er to Tang Bingxuan and asked her to learn Du Xian'er's skills.

As the emperor's secret power, those who joined the Hidden Guard not only received more money, but also had greater rights in private, and did not receive any official preferential treatment on the surface.

The old Duke and his father were the only sons of the Tang family for two generations, so they had two jobs; and the old Duke Rong had three sons in his generation. After careful consideration, the old Duke decided to combine this mysterious power with The Rongguo Duke's mansion was separated and passed to the third son Tang Jingrui to inherit.

Among the three sons of the old Duke, Rong Guo Gong is mature and prudent, while Tang Erye is a rigid gentleman. Only Tang Sanye is shrewd, cunning, flexible and adaptable, and is the most suitable to master this mysterious power.

On the surface, the current emperor and Rong Guogong grew up together and were brothers, but had basically no contact with the playboy Tang Sanye; secretly, Tang Sanye was the leader of the hidden guard directly under the emperor, and one of the most trusted people by the emperor. .

Mr. Tang San's circle of dandies are all carefully selected hidden guards. The youngest son of a noble family who is not valued by others is the easiest way to hide his identity.

Jiang Shunian was also in that circle by chance before Mr. Jiang's death. It was more than a year after Shouxiao returned to Beijing that he got involved in Mr. Tang San's circle.

Tang Sanye sent Jiang Shunian to Yunzhou to investigate two murder cases.

In the first half of last year, Mr. Tang San received a tip from Leyang Prefecture that a huge black iron mine had been discovered in Leyang Prefecture. A memorial from Li Bocai, the governor of Leyang Prefecture, conveying the matter to the Emperor arrived in Kyoto a few days later.

When the Holy Emperor heard the news, Long Yan was overjoyed and privately ordered Tang Sanye to urgently dispatch manpower to Leyang Prefecture in Yunzhou to take over the mine first, and then send someone to oversee the mining of iron ore to make weapons.

Originally, this matter had been going smoothly, but who would have expected that just over a month ago, the person in charge assigned to take charge of this black iron mine died inexplicably. There was still a large amount of money deficit in the account book, and the person in charge of the iron mine was searched. The missing money is still missing from his residence.

The Holy Emperor was furious when he learned about this. He publicly sent Qi Duke Zheng Bin as the imperial envoy to investigate the matter, but privately ordered Tang Sanye to send someone to investigate.

This matter fell into other hands because Jiang Shunian and Tang Bingxuan had just gotten married. Unexpectedly, a few days ago, Mr. Tang Sanye received the news that Li Bocai, the magistrate of Leyang Prefecture, and his family had been killed.

The whole family of Li Bocai, the magistrate of Leyang Prefecture under Yunzhou, was brutally murdered overnight. From Li Bocai's 70-year-old mother to his grandson who had just turned one year old, all seventy-six members of the family were killed with sharp weapons. No one was spared from the slashing.

Li Bocai was in his early fifties this year and had been the prefect of Leyang Prefecture for more than five years. Because of the discovery of Xuantie Mine, he was expected to return to Beijing this year to report on his duties and be promoted to a higher level. Unexpectedly, he was killed at home, including his family. Don't let it go.
