Song Yi

Chapter 663

Du Wenhao saw that Lin Qingdai really took out a dark object from his bosom, and was about to take it to look at it, Mingsen said: "Master, if Sun Hewan knows that someone has set up such a trick, instead of leaving from his own house, Du Wenhao Is there another place to go out?"

Seeing Lin Qingdai's displeasure, Ming Sen quickly explained: "I don't have any other intentions, it's just that most of the officials and officials have their own secret channels, and these people are unknown to outsiders."

Lin Qingdai said: "You seem to know it very well, I just don't understand how you know that ordinary officials have secret channels?"

Mingsen said: "It's not surprising, I have also worked as a housekeeper in the homes of other county towns or magistrates before, and some of my old acquaintances and friends from the village have also experienced it, and some even asked me to help them. Build a secret passage, so I know."

Du Wenhao secretly admired Mingsen's composure, seeing that his face remained unchanged, as if what he said was true.It is said that most people who speak generally speak faster, but Mingsen has not changed at all. It seems that he is really well-trained.

What else did Lin Qingdai want to say, Du Wenhao said: "What Ming Sen said is not unreasonable, so why do you say that you have to come back to me in an emergency?"

Lin Qingdai said: "I saw Sun He's housekeeper brought someone home with some shopping, and thought there was nothing interesting, so I prepared to come back. I was very surprised to see a person on the way home. Staring at me until I went out of the city, I was worried that the man was from Sun He or Wang Shiba, so I could observe and found no one followed, so I dared to come back."

Du Wenhao said: "Who did you find?"

Lin Qingdai was taken aback, couldn't believe her ears, was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Yu Geer?"

Du Wenhao was even more surprised and delighted. He glanced at Lin Qingdai and said, "Yu Ge'er? No way? Did you read it wrong?"

Yu Ge'er was Song Shenzong's concubine, and she was with the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao at that time. If she saw her, Gao Taotao should be on the near left!Thinking of this, I couldn't help but my heartbeat accelerated suddenly, and there was a sound of thumping.

Lin Qingdai said: "It was getting dark at the time, and I couldn't see it clearly, but with that expression, that figure, and the surprised expression she had when she looked at me, I thought it must be her."

Du Wenhao didn't say much, because Mingsen was on the side, so he pretended to be casual and said: "Probably you admitted your mistake, don't worry about her, first settle the matter of Baiyishe, Qin'er, and Sun He."

Ming Sen said: "Master, do you think you are going to pick up Mrs. Gu and the two generals?"

Du Wenhao thought for a while, and said, "No, I don't think there is anything serious tonight."

Ming Sen said: "How does the master know?"

Du Wenhao smiled and said, "It's just a hunch."

Mingsen said: "Then what should Mrs. Zhao do? I heard that those people from the White Clothes Society are very powerful. Even if they are tied up, they can still harm people with their thoughts."

Du Wenhao said: "Is it so powerful?"

Lin Qingdai said: "Wen Hao, I would rather believe in something than believe in nothing."

Du Wenhao said: "Then what do you mean..."

Ming Sen said: "The little ones are all up to you, Master."

Du Wenhao took a look at Lin Qingdai, and Lin Qingdai said: "Why don't you let her go? I don't feel safe leaving her at home. Who knows what bad things she will do."

Du Wenhao had an idea and said, "I have an idea." So he opened the door and went out.

Lin Qingdai and Mingsen followed Du Wenhao out and met Wang Runxue.

"Is Qin'er better?" Du Wenhao asked.

"I've just drank the first medicine, and I'm still asleep. Lian'er means to see if I want to let the two nursing mothers from Wuweitang come and take care of me. They are more careful than the maids, and I know what time it is. Feed the medicine, if something goes wrong after the medicine, it's easy to deal with."

Du Wenhao was right after thinking about it, so he asked Mingsen to find someone to pick up his wife, and then he took Lin Qingdai to the woodshed in the backyard.

"Mrs. Zhao, we want you to go back now. After you go back, send a message to your leader, saying that our master wants to see him." Lin Qingdai said.

In the dim woodshed, there was only a small oil lamp on the window sill, the sky was already completely dark, the moon poked out half of its face from the treetops, the breeze was blowing the branches and leaves in front of the window, and the shadows of the trees were mottled. It fell on the floor and walls of the woodshed.

"This old slave can't see the leader, and he can't help the master with anything." Mrs. Zhao's voice seemed a little weak, lying on the firewood pile, motionless.

Du Wenhao stepped forward, walked in front of Mrs. Zhao, and said, "Qing Dai, bring me the lamp."

Lin Qingdai put the lamp in front of Du Wenhao, Du Wenhao squatted down, looked carefully at Mrs. Zhao, then got up and said: "I didn't say that I would execute you, why do you need to take the poison yourself?"

Lin Qingdai was stunned, and held the oil lamp in front of Mrs. Zhao for a look. Mrs. Zhao's complexion was blue and white, and a little black blood stained from the corner of her mouth.

Lin Qingdai quickly took out a pill from her bosom, and pried open Mrs. Zhao's mouth to put it in. Du Wenhao shook his head and said, "Qingdai, no need, it's already too late."

Lin Qingdai said angrily: "What do you mean? Could it be that you have harmed our eldest lady, as if she died?"

Mrs. Zhao coughed hard twice, and said vaguely: "Fifth Madam, I am sorry for you, I have not completed the task assigned to me by the leader, anyway, I am dead, even if you are kind and will not kill me, I also know that the master is just saying Said, it will not really kill me to show the public, but I will not die, I will implicate my family, it is better to borrow a clean place from the master so that the old slave can die in peace, the old slave will definitely repay the master in the next life kindness."

Du Wenhao sighed softly, and said: "Actually, you don't need to die at all. Your leader and I just had some misunderstandings. It's fine if we clarify, and he won't blame you."

Mrs. Zhao forced a smile and said, "If this is the case, then that's fine. My son and grandson can continue to stay in the White Clothes Society."

Lin Qingdai couldn't help but said loudly: "No way, your son and grandson are also in the White Clothes Club. What's so good about that White Clothes Club? If you don't work hard and don't farm the land, what are you going to do in those places?"

Mrs. Zhao wanted to say something, but after a violent twitch, her head drooped feebly.

Du Wenhao shook his head and said: "Qing Dai, find a servant to ask where Mrs. Zhao's home is, and tell her to send her back."

Lin Qingdai said: "Then the people in their family should ask the people from the White Clothes Society to copy our villa!"

Du Wenhao smiled, and said: "What I want is for them to come to your door on their own initiative. Now I don't have the time and energy to go to Xiaojiazhuang to find Fu Gedong and the others."

Suddenly, Mrs. Zhao moved her body and said, "How do you know the name of our leader?"

Lin Qingdai was taken aback, thinking that Mrs. Zhao had already boarded the Meng Po Bridge, but who would have thought that such a sentence would come out, and hid behind Du Wenhao with an ah.

Du Wenhao looked down, and this time Mrs. Zhao was really out of breath.

Ming Sen walked in, Du Wenhao said: "Ming Sen, you came at a good time, find someone who knows Mrs. Zhao's house and take Mrs. Zhao back."

Mingsen looked at it thousands of times, and said, "Why are you so overwhelmed that you committed suicide by taking poison?"

Du Wenhao said: "Well, yes, you are going to do this now. You originally wanted Qing Dai to go, but you were worried that Mrs. Zhao, her son and grandson would make her a woman. They are all in the White Clothes Society, so they will naturally find people from the White Clothes Society Come out and uphold justice."

Ming Sen was stunned, and said: "Ah, no way, the whole family is in the White Clothes Club, so finding a White Clothes Club is so appealing?"

Lin Qingdai said: "Who says it's not, I thought so before."

Mingsen said: "Okay, don't worry, the little one will find someone to take Mrs. Zhao's body to their house." After speaking, he walked out the door.

Du Wenhao asked: "Qing Dai, what time is it?"

Lin Qingdai went out to look at the sky, and said: "You have been back for about an hour, and it will be Xu time soon."

Du Wenhao went out and said, "Then Mrs. Gu and the others should be back, why haven't they come back yet?"

Lin Qingdai said: "How about I go and have a look?"

Du Wenhao said: "No, so as not to arouse Sun He's suspicion, by the way, did Wang Shiba's people go to Wuweitang to get medicine for Wang Wu today?"

Lin Qingdai said: "I went there early in the morning, and I asked about Wang Wu's condition. He said that it was good and bad, he couldn't move, and felt uncomfortable when he sweated, so he had to lie down obediently. The people who came to get the medicine every day said that they even went to the shopkeeper Wang of the Yang’s Herbal Medicine Shop in private. Don't dare."

Du Wenhao laughed and said: "Fortunately, there is no pulse, or it will be revealed."

Lin Qingdai said: "Then what should we do now? Mrs. Gu doesn't know what's going on. Didn't you say Shitou said that Sun He and Wang Shiba have any goods to leave the city tonight? And what if Mrs. Zhao's What should I do if my family barges in in the middle of the night?"

Du Wenhao said: "What are you afraid of? Soldiers come to block the water and cover them with soil!"

Du Wenhao and Lin Qingdai went out of the backyard, came to the door, and saw a carriage galloping towards them.

Lin Qingdai said: "This carriage seems to be the carriage of Sun He's family."

After finishing speaking, the carriage stopped at the door, and a person jumped down. He ran to the door without looking carefully, and hurriedly said: "Hurry up and report that I am a servant of the county government. I have urgent matters to find Mr. Du." .”

Du Wenhao said unhurriedly: "I am."

Hearing Du Wenhao's words, the man took a closer look, bowed quickly, and said, "Young man, I have seen Mr."

Du Wenhao said, "What's the rush?"

The man said: "A lot of people suddenly came and broke into Sir's house, Sir was eating with two generals and Mrs. Gu, those people couldn't help but arrest them."

Lin Qingdai said: "Have you made it clear carefully, did you arrest Mr. Sun alone, or arrest the two generals and Mrs. Gu together?"

The man was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Why did Madam ask such a question?"

Du Wenhao said: "No matter who is arrested, why are you looking for me? I am neither a relative of the emperor, nor a relative of the state, nor an official. What is the use of looking for me?"

The man said: "The one who brought the people in said that he would let them go only after seeing you."

Hearing this, Du Wenhao's heart sank. He thought it was Shi Shi who brought someone there, but after hearing this, it didn't look like it anymore. Then why did this person have to meet him?

Du Wenhao didn't have time to think about it, so he said, "Okay, let's go, let's go and have a look."

Lin Qingdai said: "Master, wait, I will go with you."

The man said: "Madam is better to stay at home, there are so many people, Madam will be afraid when they see it."

Lin Qingdai said: "There's nothing to be afraid of, isn't it a human being, and it's not a ghost!"

The man was at a loss for words, Du Wenhao said with a smile: "Forget it, you can go with me."

Lin Qingdai said: "By the way, who are you, why haven't I seen you in the magistrate's office?"

The man said: "The little one is just a servant, and generally dare not walk in the adults' house. Today, because we have invited important guests, the adults are worried that something will happen, so we are all transferred to the mansion to patrol and be responsible for the safety of the guests. .”

Lin Qingdai said disdainfully: "It seems that you are nothing more than that."

The man bowed his head in shame.

The three got into the carriage, and the man drove away in the carriage.

In the car.

Lin Qingdai asked softly: "Wen Hao, I thought it was..."

Du Wenhao pointed to the man driving outside the door, then shook his head, Lin Qingdai understood, and then changed the subject, saying: "Master, what do you think these people are from?"

Du Wenhao said: "To tell you the truth, I'm also wondering, who is this person and why does he have to see me?"

Lin Qingdai said: "Could it be Fu...?"

Du Wenhao shook his head and said: "No, firstly, they don't know that something happened to Mrs. Zhao, and secondly, the court is looking for them everywhere, so they dare not take risks for a Mrs. Zhao, let alone go to the county magistrate's office to arrest three An imperial court official and a daughter of a household secretary, this is no joke."

Lin Qingdai said: "Who is so powerful that he can easily capture two generals?"

Du Wenhao said: "I really can't think of anyone."

While talking, the carriage stopped, Lin Qingdai first drove the curtain to look out, and said, "Why are there so many people?"

At this moment, the lower curtain was lifted, and the man respectfully said, "Sir, we're here, come down quickly."

Du Wenhao got out of the car and saw that the entrance of the magistrate's office was full of people with torches. There were at least 20 people, all of whom were wearing military uniforms and carrying swords. They couldn't tell from the attire that they looked like the army of any country, but at least they were not from Dali. country's army.

Lin Qingdai got out of the car and walked behind Du Wenhao and that person, observing them carefully from time to time. When she reached the door, a man dressed like an officer blocked the way with a long sword in his hand.

"This official, this is Mr. Du and his wife."

The man looked at Du Wenhao carefully, and even grinned, then put down the long sword in his hand, and said to Du Wenhao: "Master Du, don't come here without any harm!"

However, Du Wenhao saw this person's face unfamiliar, and he didn't remember where he met him at all, so he just nodded and didn't speak.

The man took a step forward, lowered his voice and said, "Our lord has been waiting for Mr. Du for a long time, Mr. Du, please come inside."

Lin Qingdai's ears were sharp, and she heard it behind her, and whispered: "Could it be someone from Song Dynasty, or how can I call you my lord?"

Du Wenhao nodded, did not speak, followed the man into the compound, and came to the entrance of the dining room, where he found another twenty or thirty people standing there.

"My lord, Mr. Du is here!" the man said, with a hint of joy in his tone.

Du Wenhao saw a thin man coming out swaggeringly, he accidentally tripped over the threshold when he reached the door, his body wobbled a bit, but he stopped quickly, coughed twice, and walked in front of Du Wenhao.

Du Wenhao saw that this person had delicate features, bright eyes and bright teeth. He didn't look like a person who marched and fought. He was also short in stature, and a long-handled big knife was slung around his waist, which looked a little funny.

"Mr. Du is safe and sound!"

When Du Wenhao heard it, he actually found a general who spoke so softly, like a eunuch, and his voice was very familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember that it was the eunuch in the palace in the Song Dynasty.

Du Wenhao said: "When I saw my lord, I was very unfamiliar. Do we know each other?"

The man covered his mouth and snickered, Du Wenhao suddenly found that there was a small hole in the ear of an adult, and the other ear also had a small hole, so he smiled, looked carefully at this person's eyebrows and eyes, and suddenly his heart moved, it turned out to be her !

Du Wenhao said calmly, "Why did your honor arrest my parents and my old friends?"

The man said: "Why don't you meet Mr. Du?"

Du Wenhao couldn't help laughing, and said: "It's just that you are naughty, why don't you let him go quickly."

Lin Qingdai listened strangely, why did Du Wenhao say such ambiguous words to a man, and saw that the man was also taken aback for a moment, then smiled, showing a few white teeth, and turned to face the man who led Du Wenhao and the others in. Said: "General Liu, let them loose."

The man obeyed the order and hurried in.

Du Wenhao said in a low voice: "Are you making too much noise, grabbing people and screaming, are you crazy?"

Lin Qingdai thought that Du Wenhao already knew who the person in front of him was, so she stepped forward and asked, "What's going on?"

The man held Lin Qingdai's hand intimately. Lin Qingdai blushed and shook the man's hand away, angrily said: "Why are you like this?"

Du Wenhao and that person both laughed. Seeing that Lin Qingdai's face was blushing, Du Wenhao said in a low voice, "Why can't she catch you? You used to sleep together."

Lin Qingdai was annoyed, and said: "Wen Hao, you are talking such nonsense, I will ignore you again."

The man said: "Sister Qingdai, take a good look at who I am?"

Lin Qingdai said: "Why, you even know me?"

The man was completely speechless, and leaned into Lin Qingdai's ear and said, "I'm Yu Ge'er!"

Lin Qingdai let out an ah, looked around, and said in surprise, "It's really you?"

Yu Ge'er giggled, and said, "I saw it before dark, but I don't recognize it now, really."
