Chapter 41
Next to the official road, the post station is surrounded by a circle of fences, and there are piles of fodder inside.
A rider in the distance rushed towards him and slowed down as he approached the post station. Chen Guishuo turned his horse directly into the post station.
Inner stopped, jumped off the horse, and showed a token to the incoming official.
Soon, the little official brought him a rejuvenated horse. Chen Guishuo got on the horse and rushed out of the post station.
On a certain official road in Guangyi County, Niu Youdao led a group of ten riders. The speed of the gallop was not fast.
All the personal guards of the Shang Dynasty Zong had changed into ordinary civilian clothes, some of them were arranged by Niu Youdao along the way, and some of them accompanied them.
Ahead, the tall city wall of the county city had appeared in sight. Yuan Gang made a gesture, and the two riders at the rear stayed behind, turned into the forest and hid in the nearby forest, and were responsible for delivering the news. The rest of the group continued, and dismounted at the gate of the city to be interrogated by the guards, and the personal guards of Shang Chaozong stepped forward to deal with it. Although Shang Chaozong was down and out, it was not comparable to ordinary people. In the case of non-wartime strict security, it is no problem to prepare some kind of business identity to cover the city.
Entering Guangyi County, you can find that the land of fish and rice is not ordinary, the streets are quite prosperous, pedestrians, shops are everywhere, and there are many well-dressed people. It is not comparable to the dilapidated and depressed outside world. Niu Youdao drove past the crowd on a tall horse, looking around and gazing at the prosperity of the world.
I found a good inn, and the horses were taken by the innkeeper to take care of them, and the guards prepared the guest rooms.
The group found the guest room, recognized their own room, and gathered together again. Yuan Gang ordered the three of them to go to the city to inquire about the information they needed, and then said to the other three: "It's been hard work all the way, take the time to take turns to rest."
"Yes!" The three of them bowed their hands to accept the order, and immediately turned back to their guest room.
And Yuan Gang himself followed Niu Youdao out of the inn and strolled on the streets of the county.
The two of them felt like they were just strolling around. When they met a silk and satin shop, Niu Youdao ran in and held the silk and satin to caress. From time to time, he turned his head and clicked his tongue at Yuan Gang, "Look at this weaving process, this workmanship, it's exquisite. ,Not bad!"
The shopkeeper in the store was very happy with this praise, but Niu Youdao asked the price, but he didn't buy it, turned around and left, which made the shopkeeper very happy.
Niu Youdao asked for prices everywhere in jewelry stores and poultry and livestock sales outlets.
In short, the two of them don't look like they are here for business, but rather for shopping...
In the capital city, Song Mansion, Song Jiuming in casual clothes stood on the steps outside the living room to greet the guests. Naturally, it would not be easy for the majestic Ting Wei to wait for the guests in person.
Song Jiuming seemed to be standing there idly, but in the corners on both sides, master guards were looming.
After a while, a group of people turned out from the side of the rockery screen wall, and a strong man with a beard came walking like a tiger, with a sullen face and a very unhappy look.
This person is the commander of one of the four major garrisons in Gyeonggi, named Wang Heng. Although his official rank is not as high as that of Song Jiuming, he has tens of thousands of troops in his hands, and no one dares to underestimate him in this capital. Wang Heng is also Song Yanqing's father-in-law, and the chubby woman following him with her head down is Song Yanqing's wife Wang Liufang.
Song Shu and his wife were smiling together, they led the in-laws in from outside the gate all the way, but the in-laws didn't seem to give face this time, and their faces were not good-looking.
Wang Heng followed four monks as guards, and the four guarded the surroundings along the way.
Walking down the steps of the living room, Wang Heng clasped his fists upwards and said coldly: "Your Majesty has seen Lord Tingwei!"
Song Jiuming, who had always been expressionless, showed a smile on his face, walked down the steps quickly, and grabbed Wang Heng's wrist, "My in-laws are very polite, there are no lower officials and upper officials here, they are all a family. Commander, please come inside!" "Personally grabbed Wang Heng's hand, and dragged him into the hall enthusiastically.
The two sat down as guest and host, and Song Shu and others had to stand. Wang Liufang lowered his head and stood behind his father Wang Heng with an aggrieved look.
The servants served tea, and the host and guest served the tea for a while, and Song Jiuming got to the point, "What wind brought the commander here?"
Boom! The teacup in Wang Heng's hand almost smashed on the coffee table, and he said very bluntly: "If I don't come again, my little girl is afraid that I won't be able to survive. I, Wang Heng, have a small family, and I can't climb up to Mr. Tingwei. The little girl asked the Song family for a divorce letter!"
Song Jiuming was surprised and said: "Why did the commander-in-chief say that? Fang'er is cute and virtuous, and our family can't even like it in time, so why can't we live? They are young couples who love each other, so why should they say a divorce? Does the commander-in-chief want to beat the mandarin ducks?" No?"
Wang Heng blew his beard and stared and said: "Master Tingwei, Ming people don't speak dark words in front of them. The person who was going to marry back then was your Song family, and it was your Song family who married someone in and neglected it! The water thrown out by the married daughter, married Chickens marry chickens as chickens, dogs follow dogs, how the young couple live is their own business, and I can't take it that far, but I don't bully people like that bastard Song Yanqing!" Boom! Another slap on the tea table made the tea cup jump wildly.
The corners of Song Shu's mouth twitched when he scolded 'bastard'. If Song Yanqing is a bastard, then he would become a bastard. The Song family was a little embarrassed, and they all became bastards.
"The commander-in-chief is serious!" Song Jiuming said lightly.
Wang Heng: "It's not serious at all. It's not that I don't know that bastard Song Yanqing spends his days and nights outside, and lingers in romantic places. Everyone is a man. I can understand some social activities. I'm not an unreasonable person. Some things I also Turn a blind eye and close one eye, pretend you didn’t see it. I can ignore him playing outside, and I can’t tie him up with a rope, but there must be a limit to everything. He has a family and cannot Playing to the point where she doesn't even care about her home, the little girl often doesn't see others, what's the matter? This time it's even worse, the whole month has passed, and the little girl can't even see a single person, and she spends every day alone in the empty room to wash her face with tears. Are you a bully like this? Since you can't go on, then don't force it, bring the divorce letter, and break it up!"
His voice almost knocked off the roof, and the daughter Wang Liufang behind him had tears in her eyes, looking extremely aggrieved.
The Song family was very embarrassed. It was rare to meet such a person who ran to the door, yelled, slapped the table and shook his face. Ordinary people would naturally not have such qualifications. Who would dare to try this? But Wang Liufang's family background is different after all, as the old saying goes, there are people in her natal family! No matter how unsatisfactory Wang Liufang's life is usually, the whole Song family still treats her politely. In terms of living treatment, they are absolutely favorable. Even if they have opinions on her in their hearts, even parents-in-law have to talk to her gently and kindly. .
Song Jiuming was ashamed, held back his anger, looked at Song Shu coldly, and suddenly pointed at Song Shu angrily and said, "It's my father's fault if I raise or not teach! I'm going to say this in front of my in-laws today. If any in-laws say anything again in the future I'm going to break that bastard's leg..."
Wang Heng looked up at the roof without saying a word, listening to Song Jiuming reprimanding Song Shu for not caring, saying that the letter of divorce was just talk, and it was true that he came today to help his daughter.
After a while of cursing, the submissive Song Jiuming, who had scolded Song Shu, stood up, walked to Wang Heng's side, and said kindly, "Commander, it's all my negligence. Don't worry, such things will never happen again. Besides, this The Grand Commander may have misunderstood that bastard a bit."
"Misunderstanding?" Wang Heng frowned, and stood up slowly. He thought that Song Jiuming was going to make an apology, and then the two sides passed away with a few friendly words. He didn't expect another misunderstanding, and he was suddenly unhappy. , This is really bullying his Wang family, even he is so shameless, will my daughter have a good life in the Song family in the future?
Song Jiuming slightly raised his hand, signaling him to be calm and calm, and whispered to him, "A month ago, before the prisoner was released from prison, his superiors told him that Yanqing Xingye rushed back to Shangqingzong, and he had something important to do. It's not because he's lingering outside, he can't help himself, I hope the commander understands!"
"Oh!" Wang Heng blinked his eyes, and he probably understood what it meant, and the anger on his face gradually subsided, showing a bit of thinking.
And at this moment, the housekeeper of the Song Mansion appeared outside the door, and shouted at Song Quan inside, "Master!"
Song Quan walked out quickly, saw that his expression was not right, and knew that something might have happened, so he went to the side of the roof with him, "What's the matter?"
The butler said in a low voice: "Something happened to the young master of the third master's family." He handed over a secret letter in his hand.
Song Quan took a look at it, his face gradually became serious, he quickly returned to the house, and invited Song Jiuming, who was talking with Wang Heng in a low voice, to the side, and after a few murmurs, the secret letter was forwarded.
After Song Jiuming read the secret letter, he slowly closed his eyes. Everyone in the room saw that something was wrong and stared at him.
After opening his eyes again, Song Jiuming looked at Song Shu's wife, Hu Guizhi, and said, "The third family, take Fang'er out for a walk!"
Hu Guizhi agreed, and went to Wang Heng's side to invite Wang Liufang. But Wang Liufang looked at his father. Wang Heng realized that Song Jiuming should have something to do, so he raised his hand and let his daughter leave with her mother-in-law.
With no one to influence the matter, the secret report in Song Jiuming's hand was transferred to Wang Heng's.
After Wang Heng read it, his face changed drastically, and he suddenly looked at Song Jiuming, "Ming Gong, is this newspaper serious?"
"There's no need to cheat on this." Song Jiuming said lightly.
Wang Heng sat down silently, feeling slumped on the chair, with a somewhat dazed expression, and the guards behind him looked at each other, not knowing what happened.
"Third brother, you have to be mentally prepared." Song Jiuming turned his head to look at his son, "Yanqing has had an accident, and she is already dead!"
"..." Song Shu was stunned, unbelievable, and immediately rushed to Wang Heng, snatched the secret report from his hand and checked it. After seeing the situation, he staggered a few steps backwards, and Song Quan hurried forward to help him he.
