Concubine

Chapter 125 Confused
County Magistrate Song coughed: "Nephew, Song, it's not that Song Qing's mother refuses to agree. She has her concerns. After all, Song Qing's father was once the prefect of Chizhou in the capital, a family of officials. Others are concubines, especially you, and you are just... ahem, in the end, his mother reluctantly agreed, for example, if you can pass the exam, I will give you Song Qing as your concubine."

ah?Tell me to take the imperial examination?Yang Qiuchi's eyes widened, and he was a little stunned by the news.

Song Zhixian turned to look at Yang's mother, and continued: "I, your mother and I discussed it along the way, and Song Qingniang said that what I said was not unreasonable. Besides, uncle, I have already told you that you Very capable, but, if you want to become an official and do great things, I'm afraid, I'm afraid you have to take the imperial examination..."

Yang Qiuchi's heart was half cold.Imperial examination?What is the concept of the imperial examination? Yang Qiuchi has no specific feelings. He only remembers the text "Fan Jin Zhong Ju" in the middle school textbook. Fan Jin got gray hair in the exam and almost went crazy.Besides, this ancient prose is the most headache for him, and the caller can't understand it.The ancients studied the Four Books and Five Classics for 20 or [-] years and failed to pass the exam. I want to make it fast in one or two years?I'm afraid I really lost my mind and went crazy.

"Nephew! Nephew!" Song Zhixian's voice came from his ear, and Yang Qiuchi woke up from his depressed thoughts and looked at Song Zhixian.

Song Zhixian said: "Nephew, you, what are you in a daze for, the last time the prefect of Zhou promised to help you, but you refused, do you know, yes, if the prefect of Zhou can help, yes, yes It saves a lot of things, your mother and I thought about it, we should return it, prepare a gift, and then go to the prefect of Zhou, he, he values ​​you very much, so it should be fine."

Yang Qiuchi smiled wryly, even with the help of Zhou Zhifu, he still had to rely on himself to take the exam, he didn't even recognize all the traditional Chinese characters, and the calligraphy was not neatly written, so what test would he take?You can't expect yourself to be as lucky as Zhang Haogu in "Three Levels in a Row".

Although he is the special envoy of Jin Yiwei Commander, this thing cannot be said. Although Jin Yiwei Commander Ji Gang values ​​​​him, I am afraid that he will not help him, and this is not within his scope of authority.Hard exam by yourself?Even if you get a hunchback with a hunchback and a gray beard, you may not be able to pass the exam. At that time, you still take concubines?What are you doing?Weeping grave?
Mother Yang felt distressed when she saw her son's frowning expression.She knows her son best. He has only been to a private school in the village for one year. It is even easier for pigs to climb trees.

But what Song Qing's mother said is also reasonable. Can the daughter of an official give you a concubine for a commoner who almost became a disobedient?If it were my own daughter, that wouldn't work either.It seems that this marriage is impossible.

Song Qing guessed what Yang Qiuchi was thinking, put her arms around his neck and said, "Brother Qiuchi, don't worry, it doesn't matter if mother can't figure it out for a while, let's tell her slowly that she is only my daughter, and she is driving me into a hurry. Let's become a nun and see what she will do, in the end, don't you want to agree to our marriage!"

Yang Qiuchi smiled wryly, thinking that this is really a child's idea.

Song Qing said again: "Let's take the exam first. Didn't you take that scholar Long Zixu as his attendant? Let him teach you. If you can't pass the exam, let's take the exam first, and you will be considered a scholar. Mother is happy. You might agree."

Song Zhixian nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, with Uncle and Zhou Zhifu helping you, this children's test should be no problem, then, when the time comes, find Xuezheng and walk around, you spend more time and learn more Once you learn it, this talent is not a big problem."

"Okay then." At this point, what else can I say, I can only take one step at a time.Yang Qiuchi reluctantly nodded in agreement.

Although he agreed, Yang Qiuchi felt a little puzzled. Song Qingniang already knew that she was just a disobedient apprentice before, but now, she is a hired cell boss. How can she have any knowledge? It's obviously difficult for others, why did she force others to complete this impossible task?Could it be that she doesn't intend to let her daughter marry her as a concubine at all?Then why didn't you say it clearly?

Seeing that Yang Qiuchi was in a daze again, Song Qing lightly punched Yang Qiuchi's chest with her powder fist: "Hey~! What are you thinking?"

Yang Qiuchi came back to his senses, he hesitated and said: "No, I didn't think about anything."

Song Qing said mysteriously: "There is one more thing, Brother Qiu Chi, you must be happy to hear that."

"What is so mysterious?" Yang Qiuchi was curious.

Song Qing turned to Song Zhixian and said, "Uncle, you should tell brother Qiuchi."

Song Zhixian also had a happy face: "Nephew, when we went to Hao's house to retire, this, this Hao Yuanwai is really a lot of adults, no, not only did he not mean to blame at all, but also proposed that if the nephew is willing, he still hopes to be able to do so. I will also marry his daughter Hao Qian to you as my concubine."

ah?Yang Qiuchi was stunned. Could it be that cockroaches really dominate the world?It's just so amazing, so amazing! !

If I were a duke or prince, I might understand that this is climbing a high branch, but I am just a small prison boss, a small rural landowner, and a small landowner like him is simply a stone on the river beach, which is too common. Moreover, their Hao family is already so rich, are they still looking for their own money?

He doesn't care about money or status, what is Master Hao planning for?Could it be that his identity has been leaked, are they here for his special envoy of Jin Yiwei Commander?Impossible, this is top secret. Apart from the emperor and Eunuch Li who issued the decree, only Jin Yiwei Commander Ji Gang and a few top leaders knew about it. Although Wang Tongzhi knew about it, he was immediately killed by his younger brother.What other people knew was that Jin Yiwei had sent a special envoy, but they didn't know that this special envoy was themselves.

Since Mr. Hao didn't know, why would he have the audacity to give his daughter to him after his daughter-in-law was snatched away by him?Is it really for his own "heavenly talent"?Ghosts believe it.

At this time, the long-standing doubts in Yang Qiuchi's heart attacked Yang Qiuchi's heart like a devil: Could it be that the two of them have already colluded?The Hao family knew that Song Qingniang would give them an impossible task, so they politely refused their marriage proposal in this way, and when the magistrate Song went to retire, the Hao family graciously agreed, because they knew that they would not be able to complete that task at all. , there is no way to snatch their daughter-in-law, so Song Qing will still belong to their Hao family.

If this is the case, there will be a lot of tricks here: Why did Song Qing's mother go around a detour and let herself drive a sow up a tree?Is it to let Song Qing maintain this inseparable relationship with herself?How does this relationship benefit them?Why did the Hao family have the cheek to make Hao Qian their concubine?Hao Qian became his concubine, what good would it do them?

Song Qing saw that Yang Qiuchi stood there stupidly, not knowing what he was thinking, and asked strangely: "Brother Qiuchi, are you unhappy? Not only can you marry me, but you can also marry the number one beauty in Ningguo Mansion."

The uneasiness in Yang Qiuchi's heart can't be expressed in words. These uneasiness made the charming Song Qing suddenly seem a little strange in his eyes. She smiled and said, "I'll talk about this later. The whereabouts of the real culprit who killed Lao Si, and now we are going to arrest him."

When Song Zhixian heard this, he was very happy: "Nephew, is what you said true?"

Song Qing was also very happy: "Brother Qiuchi, you are amazing! Who is this murderer? I want to catch it with you."

Yang Qiuchi said to Song Zhixian: "Uncle, I found out that the murderer is a general under Bai Qian of Yingtian Mansion, named Deng Youlu. Fortunately, you came back today. I am going to report to Zhou Zhifu and send someone to join us Go to Yingtian Mansion to catch the murderer."

County magistrate Song was very happy, and he didn't have time to ask Yang Qiuchi how he solved the case, so he hurriedly dragged Yang Qiuchi to find the magistrate Zhou.

Song Qing hurriedly stopped her, pouted her lips and said, "If I had known we would have to go to Yingtian Mansion, we wouldn't have come back. I was exhausted from the journey, I ate the dust all the way, and my body was terribly dirty. I had to take a shower and change. Clothes, you must wait for me."

"Okay~! I will wait for you." Yang Qiuchi agreed, but an imperceptible question flashed between his brows.

Yang Qiuchi and others found Zhou Zhifu and told about the discovery of the murderer. Zhou Zhifu was very happy and immediately sent a team of arresters to Yingtianfu to catch people with Yang Qiuchi and others on horseback.

Deng Youlu is Bai Qian's subordinate, and Yang Qiuchi is the savior of Bai Qian's family. Although the two families almost fell out because Bai Qian asked Yang Qiuchi to divorce his wife and marry Bai Sumei, but later Bai Qian and his wife still I apologized at the door, and it was reconciled.So there should be no problem in arresting people through Boss Bai Qian.

After Yang Qiuchi and the police officers got ready, Song Qing also took a shower and changed her clothes. She was dressed in light red tights and shorts, looking extraordinarily heroic.Yang Qiuchi asked Zhou Zhifu to arrange someone to send Yang's mother back to Guangde County, and then went straight to Yingtianfu with the brigade.

Ming Chengzu moved his capital to Beijing in the 19th year of Yongle (1421). Now it is the seventh year of Yongle, and the capital of the Ming Dynasty is still in Nanjing, which is Yingtianfu.

This is the first time Yang Qiuchi went to the capital city, not to face the saint and become an official, but to arrest murderers and criminals, no matter what, this is the first time he came to Beijing, after all, his heart is still beating, and besides, he still needs to see people who have had a relationship with him. What about the skin-to-skin Bai Sumei?

Ningguo Mansion is almost two days away from Yingtian Mansion in the capital, Yang Qiuchi and others rushed to Yingtian Mansion on the third morning.

The capital city is the capital city, after all it is different from a small place, it is many times bigger than Ningguo Mansion.The city wall is tall and majestic, and the city is very lively, with a stream of people, shoulder to shoulder, bustling, bustling, a bustling urban scene.

Yang Qiuchi looked like a country bumpkin who had just entered the city, and everything he saw was strange.He traveled from the modern society, and it was the first time he came to Yingtianfu, the most prosperous city in the Ming Dynasty. This was one of the most prosperous cities in the world at that time. Of course, Yang Qiuchi was dizzy.

The magistrates of Song County didn't bother to look at these things, and they got used to it. They asked Mr. Bai Qian's where is Mr. Qian's mansion, and looked for it all the way.But the capital city is really too big, they walked around for half a day before they found the Qianzong Mansion.

As the saying goes, you don't know the official school until you arrive in the capital.Bai Qianzong's army belongs to the Jingying (Central Army), which is an internal guard force. There are 35 guards in the Jingying in the capital, responsible for the defense of the capital; the guards are led by the guard commanders, and each guard has five thousand households under its jurisdiction. , Mr. Bai Qian is just the head of a thousand households under one of the guards, which is equivalent to the captain of the first detachment of the No. [-] Brigade of the Armed Police Corps. He is only a middle-level leading cadre in the Beijing camp, and he is really the most ordinary little sesame official in this capital city where high officials are like ants on the ground.

However, this Qianzong Mansion is still very imposing, with four personal soldiers standing guard at the gate.After Yang Qiuchi handed over the worship post, after waiting for a while, he heard hearty laughter from inside, Mr. Bai Qian greeted him with a smile: "Young Master Yang, I'm looking forward to you." He went out to the door , grabbed Yang Qiuchi's arm and shook it, looking very affectionate.

Song Zhixian, Song Yun'er and others stepped forward to salute, Mr. Bai Qian returned the salute with a smile.Among these people was only Song Qing whom he had never met before, and Yang Qiuchi hurriedly introduced that this was his concubine who had never been married, and her natal family was also in Yingtian Mansion.When Mr. Bai Qian heard about the concubine, his expression was a little sad, and then he warmly welcomed them into Mr. Qian's mansion.

Yang Qiuchi was slightly disappointed that he didn't see Bai Sumei.Regardless of pleasantries, he straightforwardly explained the purpose of coming this time.After listening to Mr. Bai Qian, his face was very solemn, and he immediately called two soldiers to bring Deng Youlu back.

After the soldiers left, Mr. Bai Qian remained silent with a sullen face.This is understandable, his subordinates have committed a serious crime of murder, of course he doesn't look good.He has seen Yang Qiuchi's method of solving the case with his own eyes, and he absolutely believes that Yang Qiuchi's judgment will not be wrong.Especially since Deng Youlu was his subordinate, if Yang Qiuchi had no real evidence, he would never have come to him.

After a while, the two soldiers ran back panting, saying that Deng Youlu had forcibly left the barracks at five o'clock in the morning and was missing.

Deng Youlu absconded?He left the barracks by force, and it was at five o'clock in the morning, that is, at four o'clock in the morning. Could it be that he had already got the news that someone was coming to arrest him, so he fled in a hurry?

Could it be that Deng Youlu left by chance for other reasons?No, if it was for other reasons, it would not be such a coincidence to leave late at night, which would arouse suspicion. Only in unavoidable circumstances would he ignore these things and forcefully escape. From this point of view, the possibility of news leaking is very high.

Was there a mole or was the news leaked inadvertently?Yang Qiuchi was thinking quickly in his head.
