The Beautiful Land - Chapter 139

When he woke up early the next morning, the Song family servant immediately counted the number of people.

The result of the order is that one more person is missing.

Also the guard of the Song family.

He was finally found drowned in the river.

The corpse drifted downstream with the current, but was blocked by a reef in the middle, so people who were scattered looking for people found it before they went far.

The faces of the group were very ugly, and Yu Kedi even proposed to send Xi Fuwei back to Jining City.

However, Xi Fuwei refused, saying that it was a little closer to Song Li now, and it would take more time to return to Jining City.

The most important thing is that they encountered such a sniper on the pedestrian road. Who knows what is going on with Song Li?

What if Song Li is also in danger?

It’s better to join this foster father.

This gave the old servant of the Song family a grateful glance. He was also worried about his master, but he was ordered to come out to pick up Xi Fuwei. If Xi Fuwei insists on going back at this moment, he will not let people stay with him. If there are people, there are not many people. If you spread it out, even if you go to see Song Li, if you need help there, it won’t be of much use.

Because of fear of lack of manpower, they finally decided not to take away the corpses of the three people, but temporarily buried them by the river, planning to send someone to move the grave later.

When I left again, the atmosphere became quite dull.

But Yu Kedi, the third brother, and Xi Fuwei were as calm as ever, as if nothing happened.

The old servant of the Song family sighed privately with the people under his hands. After all, it was Jin Yiwei who came out of the emperor’s army, and the guards of his own were not comparable.

“Isn’t the young lady from our family?” the subordinate said with a smile, “our young lady is also calm, not panic at all, no wonder she caught the eyes of the master.”

“Tell the children to refresh yourself, don’t lose our young lady’s face in front of the two lieutenants.” The old servant nodded and exhorted, “Hurry up, it will be there tomorrow.”

In fact, if you hurry normally, you will be there in the evening of the day.

But because of the loss of three people, and still don’t know how many enemies are in the dark, let alone how many traps are ahead, a group of people can’t help walking with extreme caution, so that the speed is greatly reduced.

In the evening, the old servant of the Song family pointed to the front and said that Song Li was currently stationed there, and he was already visible: “The civil servants have not yet arrived. Some roads are already being repaired, but the construction is only started. Otherwise. Let’s not go so hard.”

“As long as the foster father is safe,” Xi Fuwei said calmly, “rest early tonight, and leave early tomorrow morning.”

In the evening’s defense, the Song family servant took the third brother and studied it vigorously.

The next day there was no shortage of people, so he breathed a sigh of relief. Who knew there was someone around him falling down and unconscious.

The third brother and Yu Kedi made an emergency check and said it was poisoned, and the poison was mixed in the dry food.

“The dry food has been on horseback for the past two days, and there is always a special guard.” Everyone’s expressions changed when they heard that, “How could the culprits be tampered with?!”

The guard in charge of the dry food suddenly panicked: “We are all sons of the Song family, and we have done things for the grandfathers and sons for generations. Will it harm the big guys? And the subordinates themselves have eaten the dry food, and take it when they eat. Never deliberately selected!”

The old servant’s face was blue and asked the third brother: “What do you think is going on?”

“You guessed that you were spotted when you went to Jining City.” The third brother didn’t answer, only asked the two people for a bag of dry food, and then asked Xi Fuwei for a silver hairpin, and tried them in front of everyone. I took all the dry food and found that only a small part of it was poisonous. I picked these out and threw them away, and said, “This was mixed in while you were not prepared. The purpose is to provoke discord and let us kill each other.”

The guard in charge of the dry food immediately cast a grateful look at him.

“Don’t worry about this for now.” The third brother gathered up the remaining dry food and said, “Hurrying is serious! After we merge with Song Shangshu, we have a way to clean them up!”

Fortunately, there was nothing wrong on the next road. After a short half-day walk, there was a serious road to go. It was a solid dirt road built by the people who arrived first.

The old servant of the Song family went down to find a steward and talked about the conversation, and he also drove a carriage over to sit for Xi Fuwei.

The carriage was flocked and galloped for more than an hour, and stopped in front of a temporary wooden building.

This wooden building is two and a half storeys high, with a large courtyard underneath it. There are no flowers and plants. It is a compact square with a watchtower on the corner.

The watchtower is not for military use, it seems to be for the convenience of observing the terrain.

Song Li was not here at this time. The steward who was staying here came out to welcome Xi Fuwei and asked her to sit in and have tea. He sent someone to inform: “Master and Mr. Bai have gone for inspection. Please take a rest here. Send someone to ask.”

Said to take a break, but Xi Fuwei actually cleaned up and dressed up, then turned the entire yard around, and chatted with Yu Kedi and the third brother for a while before Song Li came back with shame.

In addition to the guards and servants, there were two other people with him. One of them was dressed in common clothes and had gray beard, but his eyes were piercing, and he looked old and strong. It was Mr. Bai Yingbai who offered advice to Song Li; the other was in his 30s and 40s. , His face was white and he had a smile on his face. Although he was wearing regular clothes, Xi Fuwei remembered the middle official who went to Jining to pick up Xu’s brother and sister to respond to Tianfu last year.

“It’s a hard work today, Song Zhu, why don’t you invite Lao Zhang to freshen up?” Song Li introduced Bai Ying and Xi Fuwei. Xi Fuwei saw that he and Bai Yingnai were friends of the same generation, so he came up to give a family gift and say a few greetings. After the sentence, Song Li hinted that Bai Ying would avoid it for the time being.

Only then did Xi Fuwei introduce the man in the normal service to Xi Fuwei, saying very vaguely, “This is an adult from Ying Tianfu.”

The man in ordinary service quickly said that he didn’t dare to be it, and said: “Our family is only here by your majesty’s order to come and take a look.”

Xi Fuwei said he was the father-in-law in the palace.

Now that the project has just started, Emperor Yongle has sent a servant over there. I don’t know whether it is paying attention to it or not worrying about it, or is there other reasons?

While thinking about it, he listened to the man in regular service asking, “I just heard the person who went to Song Shangshu said that the young lady was not very peaceful along the way?”

“Exactly.” Xi Fuwei calmed down and said, “This time I left, not only did I see Zou Yiang, the only son of the rich Zou family in Jining, who was taken by Jianwen’s remnants, but also three guards were murdered by the culprits, so that they were all along the way. It’s panic… How about Unknown Dad here?”

“The old man is also a bit troublesome here. Fortunately, your Majesty’s Hongfu’s blessing is not dangerous.” Song Li nodded heavily and said, “It is precisely because of these things that I want to pick you up. After all, this place Although it is hard, it is convenient to take care of you for your father. Otherwise, you will be left alone in Jining City. If you are angered by the culprits, and there is a mistake, how can you explain to your stepmother and righteous sister when your father looks back?”

Xi Fuwei naturally would not expose him to such scenes, and followed with a few emotions.

The man in regular service was furious, saying that Emperor Yongle personally ordered the dredging of the canal and moving the capital to Beijing. This is a great thing that will benefit all the people and contribute to the future. Now the project has just started, but the responsible men and women of the Ministry of Industry have been subjected to many tricks. , This is basically a provocation to the court, disrespect to your majesty, and a threat to the community… In short, it must be investigated, must be investigated, and thoroughly investigated to the end!

Of course Song Li and Xi Fuwei’s father and daughter echoed repeatedly.

Ordinary service man…Well, he calls himself surname Gu, father-in-law Gu looked kind, but he was quick and resolute. After communicating with the father and daughter for a while, he asked Yu Kedi to help with the third brother, intending to manage the whole Wenshui bank. a bit.

After he left, Song Li asked someone to change the refreshment point and said: “Wen Shui Bank is now crowded with people, where can you check it out one by one? Just behave. What’s the matter with you? three people?”

Xi Fuwei said: “It’s about Jianwen Yuyi who is playing a ghost, but I didn’t expect that girls like her daughter would also be targeted by them.”

Song Li said, “I knew that the road was not peaceful, so I called you over after a few days.”

“Daddy’s remarks are out of the ordinary, and I can’t ask for it for my dad to worry about his daughter.” Xi Fuwei said with a calm expression, “If Daddy doesn’t call her daughter, the daughter will be sad.”

“Shen Pilan came to investigate the case two days ago and talked to his father about the marriage proposal by the way. What do you think?” Song Li asked with a smile.

Xi Fuwei said fluently: “Parents are the masters of marriage.”

“What if the old man doesn’t want to agree to this marriage?” Song Li said lightly, “After all, you also know that if it weren’t for you, Jia Niang should have married him.”

“Daddy, marriage is not sweet.” Xi Fuwei said, “I didn’t want to say more about who was and who was not a daughter at the beginning. It’s always because Yi Sister and Young Youth don’t have enough affinity. What do you think?”

Song Li sneered and said, “You have a deep relationship with Shen Pilan! If Jia Niang knew the end of speaking to your aunt, you shouldn’t have that matter!”

“Sister Yi’s great kindness, the daughter will remember it in her heart.” Xi Fuwei had been suspicious of this statement before, but after calming down and thinking about it, she felt that it was a lie.

Maybe Song Jianiang really felt compassion after hearing about the Xi family, but she may not have really explained it to Shen Pilan.

Because Shen Pilan never mentioned that Song Jianiang once asked him to take care of Xi’s aunt and nephew.

Xi Fuwei didn’t think that Chen Pilan was the kind of person who robbed others of credit.

Moreover, before Song Jianiang suspected that Shen Pilan had an affair with Xi Fuwei, she did a lot of work, but she never managed to get Xi Fuwei into her hands.

At that time Xi Fuwei confirmed that the relationship between herself and Chen Qianlan was innocent and purely subordinate.

If Song Jianiang once entrusted the Qianglan gang to Xi’s nephew, why didn’t he bring it up to talk to the dignitaries?

But at this moment Song Li’s rhetoric was eloquent, and Xi Fuwei couldn’t argue with him.

After all, Song Li’s mood is understandable. No matter how bad Song Jianiang is, it is his biological daughter who is the jewel in his palm.

So he said, “When I go back to Yingtianfu in the future, I will bring Jiaoer to pay respect to Sister Xie Yi!”

“It’s all my family members. There is no need to see things like this, thank you or thank you.” Song Li was silent for a moment, and his face eased, and said, “In the future, your sisters will be of one mind and live a good life, I I’m relieved with your mother-in-law.”
