Chapter 142
On this day, the beleaguered messenger knocked on the door of Wang's house.

After Wang Yu came off duty, he heard the butler whisper: "Master, someone from Ningbo Mansion has come and said they have something urgent to see you."

Wang Yu paused, and said in a deep voice, "Someone from Ningbo Mansion? Where is he? Bring him to see me."

The housekeeper responded, and brought a messenger to see Wang Yu in a hurry.

The messenger took out a letter from his bosom and presented it to Wang Yu with both hands, "Master, the younger one is the confidant of the prefect of Ning. By his order, I come to deliver the letter to you, my lord."

Wang Yu took it, opened the sealant, shook off the letter paper, his eyes sharpened, "Why are you sending the letter to me now for such a big matter?"

The courier knelt down with a thud, not daring to say that he ate badly on the way and wasted five or six days, so he explained sincerely, "My lord wrote a letter the day he learned that Mr. Song and the others died, but Ningbo Mansion It's a long way from the capital, and the young one can't travel at night, so as soon as I enter the capital today, I will come to see you, my lord."

Wang Yu has been in a high position for many years, and when his face is gloomy, it is always frightening, "So, the current army of Ningbo Mansion is in charge of a kid named Ji Sibo?"

The messenger nodded and said: "Yes. He is brave and good at fighting. He defeated Japanese pirates twice. He has a high prestige in Ningbo Prefecture and is loved by the people."

Wang Yu's eyes were sharp, and his face was faintly angry, "Brave and good at fighting? Your lord and Song Xing's group are a bunch of waste! Why did no one report the addition of a centurion to the government army!"

He explained a long time ago that the Ningbo Mansion is the most important thing, and nothing can be lost. This group of people is simply messing around!
Can outsiders know what happened in Ningbo Mansion?
The messenger faltered and said: "Before Centurion Ji came to serve in the Ningbo government army, Mr. Song and my family also thought it was strange. My family also wrote a letter to Beijing to ask if there was any change in Beijing. Everything is fine, just."

Wang Yu's face turned even darker, "You're a trash who's not doing enough to make things happen! This old man never received Ning Shiqiu's letter at all!"

The messenger faced Wang Yu's anger, felt aggrieved and panicked, but he didn't dare to say that it was because Wang Yu himself had ordered that he should not be contacted unless it was a major matter. Wouldn't it give Mr. Wang the illusion that Prefect Ning, Mr. Song and others are useless?
So Ning Zhifu wrote to Jingli, not to Wang Yu, but to the head of another family who was also involved in the smuggling, and naturally got a reply that nothing happened in Jingzhong.

Now that the matter has come to this point, it is more important to solve the immediate matter first.

Wang Yu barely suppressed the anger in his heart, "Did Ning Shiqiu inform everyone that the shipment was cancelled?"

The messenger quickly nodded, "My lord has explained that if Mr. Wang asks, he will send someone to watch the city gate. As long as each family has a carriage, he will send someone to tell them to go back first and wait for Mr. Wang to deliver the goods." order."

Wang Yu's expression softened slightly, "Housekeeper, take him down to rest."

After the steward and the messenger went down, Wang Yu went to the study, found the eldest son, and ordered: "Go and check this man named Ji Sibo."

When the elder son took the order to leave, Wang Yu looked at the letter paper, eyebrows slightly raised, Ning Shiqiu said in the letter that he didn't know the real inside story of Song Xing's death, everything was from Ji Sibo.

It is also not clear why the Japanese attacked so closely twice.

And it happened to be Song Xing who was in contact with the Japanese.

But Song Xing died.Died at the hands of the Japanese.

Not only that, even Niu Lezhi, Wei Hetai, and Cai Liang died.

How could it be such a coincidence that the dead were all from the government army, responsible for smuggling?
The more coincidental it is, the more strange it is.

Thinking of this, Wang Yu squinted his eyes and murmured, "That kid named Ji Sibo, does he know about smuggling?"

Suddenly, Wang Yu frowned, and his expression became solemn, "Song Xing and the others are dead, did they tell their family members about the smuggling?"

Leave a family of women and children, in case you accidentally say something wrong.
Wang Yu's expression flashed with a stern look, he summoned his personal guards, and ordered in a low voice: "Take someone to the Ningbo mansion overnight to find out if Song Xing and other four family members have followed Song Xing and the others since Song Xing's death. Outsiders have contacted, if so, interrogate who they contacted, and whether they have said anything that should not be said, and then let them reunite with Song Xing and his family."

The guards took the order and went away, and heard Wang Yu's voice at the door, and hurriedly turned around and listened attentively.

"When you go to Ningbo Mansion, remember to ask Ning Shiqiu to find out the specific situation. Check out Ji Sibo secretly, and if there is anything wrong with him, we will also solve him."

"Yes, master."

Half an hour later, Wang Yu got the news from his eldest son.

"Ji Sibo was sent to the Ningbo government army by the Fourth Prince's special greeting?"

Wang Yu frowned, and muttered to himself, Fourth Prince Li Ze.
Now it seems that Ji Sibo belongs to the fourth prince, and the fourth prince asked Ji Sibo to go to Ningbo Mansion to serve as the army, does it have any deep meaning?
Wang Yu's expression became more and more dignified. What he was most afraid of was that the matter would be known by the Ming Palace.

He had served Emperor Qi Cheng for more than ten years, and he knew his temper so well that the emperor could not bear the deceit of his subjects, let alone such close officials as him.

The closer the person is, the harder it is to accept deception.

If Emperor Qi Cheng knew that he was deceiving the emperor, he was not sure that he would be able to keep Xiang Shang's head.

Under the rage, who knows if the emperor will lay down millions of corpses?

What's more, there was a huge amount of money passed over there. A few days ago, the heavenly court was still arguing fiercely over a repair fund, and Emperor Qi Cheng was worried about this.

Wang Yu had a headache, and once again deeply loathed Ji Sibo, if it wasn't for this troublesome boy, how could things be so difficult!

"Hurry up and ask Song Shangshu to come over and say that I have something important to discuss with him."

Song Gu is the grandfather of the fourth prince, so it would be best for him to test the fourth prince.

I hope that it is not Emperor Qi Cheng who wants to investigate the matter of Ningbo Mansion.

"Grandfather, are you looking for me for something?"

Li Ze was summoned by Song Gu as soon as he went to court, and Song Gu took him back to Song's house directly, Li Ze was quite puzzled.

Song Gu smiled gently, "Your Highness, regarding the matter of the Ji family, your grandfather asked you to make friends with Ji Sibo."

When this matter was brought up, Song Gu felt remorseful. If he had known today, he would not have suggested that his grandson befriend Ji Sibo, and he would not have caused such a catastrophe.

When mentioning Ji Sibo, Li Ze showed a satisfied and appreciative expression, "Grandfather really has a bright eye, and Sibo has extraordinary martial arts skills. He even wrote to me a few days ago, saying that he beheaded two groups of Japanese pirates who attacked Ningbo Mansion."

Looking at his grandson's admiring eyes, Song Gu's heart felt uncomfortable.
