Chapter 144
Song Gu heard that the commander-in-chief of the Ningbo Mansion had changed again, and couldn't sit still any longer. He chatted with the Minister of the Ministry of War in a hurry, said that he had something to do in the yamen, and took Li Ze away.

After being separated from his grandson, Song Gu's expression became gloomy all of a sudden, and he returned to the office of the official department, wrote a few lines with a pen in his duty room, stuffed them in an envelope, walked to the door of the office, and called himself His long follower, ordered him in a low voice to be sent to the Wang family.

The old man of the Wang family opened the letter and looked at it, his expression was not good, and he immediately ordered his confidant, "Go and find out what Huaiying is from."

When his confidant returned, Mr. Wang saw the news his confidant had found, and his brows could kill flies.

"Huaiying is the junior nephew of the Duke of England? Why did the Duke of England suddenly take a fancy to Ningbo Mansion?"

Grandpa Wang suddenly felt that it was extremely troublesome, so he hurriedly ordered someone to wait at the Zhongshu Yamen, found Wang Yu, and said that there was an urgent matter at home.

When Wang Yu returned home, he asked in a deep voice, "What happened in such a hurry to find my father?"

Grandpa Wang said anxiously, "Father, Song Shangshu personally tested the fourth prince this morning, and found out that it was the fourth prince's own idea that Ji Sibo went to Ningbo Mansion. He said that he wanted Ji Sibo to use Japanese pirates to practice his skills. The Holy One didn't know about this person, nor did he know about it. Ji Sibo didn't tell the Fourth Prince that there was anything unusual about Ningbo Mansion."

Wang Yu's expression turned pale, "Since the Holy Majesty didn't know about it, and Ji Sibo didn't say anything about Ningbo Mansion, why are you so impatient?"

Grandpa Wang said anxiously again: "Song Shangshu persuaded the fourth prince according to your wishes, and took the fourth prince to the Ministry of War, intending to transfer Ji Sibo back to the capital and put our people in, but he was told that Ji Sibo had already After being promoted to Ranger General, the commander-in-chief of Ningbo Mansion has changed again, and it is a young man named Huaiying, who is the younger generation of the Duke of England's nephew."

Every time Wang Yu heard a sentence, his expression became ugly, and when he heard the last sentence, his face was already terribly gloomy.

"Why did the British Duke focus on Ningbo Mansion? Didn't he never bother with smuggling?"

Grandpa Wang rubbed his eyebrows irritably, "Father, what should we do now?"

Ji Sibo had no power, even if he was someone Li Ze valued, they would kill him if they wanted to. Anyway, with Li Ze's methods and the presence of Song Shangshu, they couldn't find out what happened.

But the British Duke is different. If Huaiying is killed, the British Duke will definitely investigate to the end. If the carrot is pulled out and the mud comes out, it will be bad.

But now it is also a big problem to take away the Commander of Ningbo Mansion from the hands of the British government.

Letting Huaiying go to work in Ningbo Mansion will obviously hinder smuggling, and killing Huaiying will provoke the British Duke, so he was caught in a dilemma for a while.

"Where's Huaiying?" Wang Yu asked in a deep voice.

"I heard that I have already taken an appointment to take up a post in Ningbo Mansion." Mr. Wang said.

Suddenly a British prince was mixed in here, and Wang Yu immediately cast a slap in the face, and became suspicious again.

The British Duke is also a pure minister loyal to Emperor Qi Cheng. The British Duke will not let his nephew go to Ningbo Mansion for no reason. What Wang Yu is most afraid of is that the British Duke is ordered by Qi Cheng Emperor to secretly investigate.

Wang Yu paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, and after walking around a few times, he turned to look at his eldest son, "Immediately inform everyone that the shipment is suspended, so don't touch it."

When Grandpa Wang thought of the white money, his flesh hurt very much, but he also knew that the situation was urgent, so he didn't dare to delay, so he nodded and said, "Father, don't worry, I will go out and inform everyone later."

After thinking about it, Grandpa Wang asked again: "Father, when will the shipment be recovered?"

Wang Yu shook his head silently, then Elder Wang retreated in disappointment, ran to various houses, and personally informed that the shipment was suspended.

Leaving aside the strange situation in the capital city, just talking about the Ningbo mansion, there are hundreds of houses hanging white pots in front of their doors, among them, Song Xing's family cried the most miserable.

Ji Sibo personally came to express his condolences, and after burning incense, he looked at Song Xing's wife and comforted him, "Ms. Song's condolences have changed."

Mrs. Song had already cried until her eyes were swollen. It never occurred to her that her husband was gone overnight and the pillars of the family collapsed. How would she live in the future?
Hearing Ji Sibo's words, she raised her head and glanced at him, trying her best to suppress her hatred, obviously her husband was not on duty that night, if Ji Sibo hadn't sent someone to tell her husband to go out, how could her husband have died?

Why isn't the damned person Ji Sibo?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Song's heart was filled with hatred, fearing that Ji Sibo would see it, she quickly lowered her head and shook her head silently.

Ji Sibo squinted his eyes. At that moment just now, he clearly saw the flash of resentment in Mrs. Song's eyes.

Mrs. Song also knew that Song Xing wanted to kill him?Or, Mrs. Song just resented that Song Xing also followed him to "resist the Japanese pirates" when he was on night duty?
He looked at Mrs. Song quietly, thinking. It is said that the husband and wife are deeply in love, and Song Xing doesn't even have a concubine. As Song Xing's bedside person, will Mrs. Song know about the account book?
Ji Sibo finally stood there for a while, then left.

Mrs. Song behind him raised her head with a look of hatred.

Because Song Xing was not from Ningbo Prefecture, Mrs. Song strongly advocated helping the spirit to return to his hometown, saying that Song Xing would be buried in the ancestral grave.

People at that time were very particular about returning fallen leaves to their roots. If a guest died in a foreign land, they would help their spirits to return to their hometown for burial if possible. Even if the prefect Ning wanted to stop it, there was no reason. Several guards escorted the coffin out of Ningbo Mansion.

Mrs. Song was in a hurry. After spending three days hastily laying a coffin, she set off for her hometown after Song Xing's body was put into the coffin.

But she didn't walk fast along the way, after all, she took the coffin and three children with her, and she walked for twelve days before reaching Danyang Mansion.

At this time, there was also a group of people in the house of Ning Zhifu.

Ning Zhifu smiled and said, "Brother Wang Chaoxian, you have come from the capital city and arrived in Ningbo Mansion. As the host, I must take care of you."

Wang Chao shook his head with a solemn expression, "The Patriarch sent me here because I have something to do, so I don't need these empty gifts."

Ning Zhifu licked his smiling face and said, "Yes, yes, it's your lord's business that matters. If you have any orders, speak up as soon as possible, and I will definitely help you."

Wang Chao kept Wang Yu's instructions in mind, and said, "Tell me about the Ningbo Mansion, and don't miss anything."

When he heard that Song Xing's family members had returned home with help, his expression changed, "How long have you been away?"

Ning Zhifu said: "It's been twelve days."

Wang Chao looked even worse, "Where is Song Xing from?"

"People from Dongping Prefecture."

Wang Chao calculated the distance, stood up and turned to look at the other person, "Wang Yi, I will take people to chase after them, and you stay to take charge of this matter."
