Qing Palace - Biography of Concubine Wan

Chapter 175 The King's Desire to Find (4)
On May 27th, two days before May 29th, Qianjia Xiuzhuang sent someone to send their custom-made wedding dress to Song Ling. No, so Rushi tried it on according to the intention of the person who sent her the wedding dress.

When Rushi in her wedding gown appeared in front of everyone, everyone who saw her stopped breathing, including Song Ling and Qi Bo who were already familiar with Rushi's beauty. Beautiful clothes make people more beautiful, and only Only this dress can match the poetic beauty of the sky.

The one who sent the wedding dress was Manager Wang of Qianjia Embroidery Village. Originally, he didn’t have to do things like deliveries himself, but now the one who ordered the wedding dress was the Song family, the number one family in Yangzhou, so it was up to him to show respect Deliver it in person.

This wedding gown can be regarded as the treasure of Qianjia Embroidery Village, because every time it is made, a very rare silk thread is consumed, and the output of this kind of silk thread in three years is enough to make a dress. Its preciousness can be seen, and the price is also extremely expensive.

After Rushi went back to her room to change her clothes, and confirmed that there was no need to modify them, Song Ling followed Qi Bo and Wang Guanshi to the account room to check out. The family is also speechless, knowing that the livelihood of an ordinary family is only a few dozen taels a year.

Everyone in Yangzhou City knew that the Song Mansion was going to hold a wedding event, and they were all waiting to see the excitement. The Song Mansion's wedding event must be a big deal, and Song Ling also said that everyone who came would have a share in the distribution of wedding cakes on the wedding day. It has already been decided, the master was invited from the capital, and it will be held for three days and three nights. In short, it must be held with unprecedented excitement!

In a dilapidated house far away from the Song Mansion, a white-faced middle-aged man in his thirties was solemnly listening to the report from his subordinates: "My lord, my subordinates have found out that there is a real problem in Yangzhou City. There is a woman who looks exactly like the person in the portrait, and many people have seen her, and she lives in the mansion of the Song family, the number one family in Yangzhou."

The middle-aged man walked around the room twice with his hands behind his back, frowning: "So she is really still alive and in Yangzhou? Strange, since she is still alive, why didn't she return to Beijing?"

The subordinate replied: "My lord, my subordinates found out through investigation that this woman was rescued by Song Ling, the head of the Song Mansion, in Jiangning. When she was rescued, she was seriously injured and survived death. I don’t remember everything about her, her current name is Rushi!”

"Like a poem..." The middle-aged man read twice in a low voice. No wonder they couldn't find the emperor. Who would have thought that the person who disappeared in Jiangning would appear in Yangzhou? I can't remember what happened in the past, and I won't live in Yangzhou without returning to Beijing.

The subordinate obviously still had something to say, so he continued: "In addition, the subordinate also learned an interesting thing!"

Interesting thing?The middle-aged man lifted his spirits and urged, "Say something quickly."

"Yes!" The subordinates responded, "This poetic girl will marry Song Ling, the head of the Song family, on the 29th of this month, two days later, and their marriage is rumored in Yangzhou, and almost everyone knows about it. .”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man couldn't help but his complexion changed, and he said in disbelief, "Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?" She is the emperor's concubine, how could she marry someone else.

The subordinates said with great certainty: "There is absolutely no mistake. The subordinates were also afraid that it was a false report, so they went to the Song Mansion to inquire, and found that the place was already decorated with lanterns and festoons. It must be a happy event."

The middle-aged man nodded, his face turned pale: "Apart from our people, the Yangzhou government and the people sent from the capital know about it?" This matter is so big, if they find out, It's hard to do it again.

"My lord, not yet. The portraits they brought down have been stolen by the subordinates and others, and none of them has seen Wan..." He was talking when he suddenly saw the middle-aged man's sharp eyes sweeping across her face. After coming over, he quickly stopped what he was about to say, and changed his words: "There are almost no people who have seen her, so no one knows that the person in the Song Mansion is the person they are looking for, and the other group of people with portraits Walking with the emperor, it will take about two days to get here!"

two days?The middle-aged man moved his mouth but did not make a sound. He will arrive in two days, which means that he must settle this matter within two days, otherwise once the emperor and the batch of portraits arrive in Yangzhou, they will definitely know about it , when the time comes, it will be difficult to do it again.

Seeing that the middle-aged man did not give any instructions, the subordinates took a step closer and said in a low voice, "My lord, shall we act now?"

The middle-aged man suddenly woke up when he heard this, but he still hesitated. After all, this person's identity is very important. If this matter is revealed, then he will definitely die. The middle-aged man finally made up his mind, he waved his hand fiercely and said, "Hurry up and gather someone, and you will attack the Song Mansion tonight, and you will definitely take that person's life, remember, you must not reveal your identity!"

After the subordinates retreated as ordered, the middle-aged man took out a pen and paper, wrote something on it, then rolled the white paper into a small roll, walked to a long round object covered by a black cloth, and grabbed it Pulling the black cloth hard, the contents inside were immediately exposed. It turned out that the cage covered by the black cloth was a bird cage, and only one homing pigeon was locked inside. It made a "cuckoo" sound when it saw the light , The middle-aged man grabbed the carrier pigeon out of it, tied the rolled up paper to the carrier pigeon's leg, and put it in the sky.

Coincidentally, in another secret place, Fang Tang is also giving the same order to the killer he hired with a lot of money: attack the Song Mansion at night, vowing to kill Song Ling!

Today's Fangtang is no longer the well-dressed look he used to be. He has disheveled hair and ragged clothes. It's hard to imagine that such a person can actually take out a whole box of gold to hire a killer.

Fang Tang raised his hand to the sky like crazy and gritted his teeth: "Song Ling, you ruined my family, I will kill you to avenge my two sons, I will!" Song Ling's dog life, this box of gold was hidden in the ground by him before, just in case, no one knew about it, but now it has become his only bargaining chip for revenge, God has eyes, hahaha... Fang Tang's smile Howling like a wolf at night, it makes people feel chills!
The killer watched Fangtang go crazy there with cold eyes. They had seen this kind of people a lot, and they were doing this kind of business, as long as they received the money, they didn't care about what kind of employer they were.

It was night, and Song Ling, who had already fallen asleep, suddenly opened his eyes. He is a martial arts practitioner, and his sleep is extremely light. Even in his sleep, he can feel all abnormal movements. More than one person, who the hell sneaked in in the middle of the night!

Song Ling felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly put on his clothes, holding the soft sword that had been placed beside the bed in his hand, and quietly went out of the room, but he did not go far, but hid behind the pillar, because the person he heard There were two waves, one of which was walking towards him.

As expected, he didn't wait for a while, and saw two guys in black with long knives in their hands, pushing the door and walking in. When they opened the door, the two people obviously hesitated, because the door It seems a little unreasonable that they didn't lock it. Seeing this, Song Ling already understood that these two people were dressed like this and held a knife. They definitely didn't come to steal or rob. They were clearly here to kill, and the target of the murder it's him!
Seeing them enter the house, Song Ling didn't follow them in, but just stood guard at the door to observe what was going on inside. The two masked men touched the side of the bed. Because they didn't light up the lights, they couldn't see what was inside clearly. It was someone, the two of them looked at each other and swiped their knives towards the bed, but they soon realized that something was wrong, based on their many years of assassination experience, the knife never hit anyone at all, at this moment, a thought came to the mind of both of them : Got it!
At the same time, a chill came from behind, someone!The two of them turned around at the same time and fought each other with swords in front of Jian Lin, uttering "Dang! Dang!" twice.

Song Ling knew that he would be blocked when he sent out the sword, so when the sword was blocked, he immediately withdrew the sword and closed his hand, his body was almost attached to the knives and hands of the two masked men and turned behind them, and then Focusing on the sword in his hand at a faster speed than they turned around, he aimed at one of the right shoulders and stabbed it. The masked man didn't prevent him from doing this move, and suffered a big loss immediately, and was stabbed in the shoulder He could no longer hold the knife steadily, let alone kill, and fell to the ground with his hands on his shoulders.

The other masked man saw that his accomplice was knocked out by Song Ling with just one move, and his heart immediately turned cold. He really didn't expect that when the superior sent them to assassinate Song Ling, although he knew that he knew martial arts, how could he? I didn't expect it to be so good, what a mistake, but now it's impossible to retreat, so I can only fight hard.

The panic and his own gap made him not able to hold out for long in Song Ling's hands. Soon, he also injured his right shoulder and lost his strength to fight again. He fell to the ground like his accomplices, and the sound of their fighting woke him up. Many of the guards and servants of the Song Mansion held lanterns or torches to see what happened.

Song Ling tidied up the two of them and was about to ask his servants to tie them up with a rope and send them to the government. When he looked back, he saw that the two of them had fallen to the ground and were dead. After wearing the veil, you can see black blood overflowing from the corners of the mouths of both of them. They obviously committed suicide by taking poison, and the poison was hidden in their mouths long ago. Once the action fails and there is no hope of escape, they can commit suicide in the fastest time , so it looks like they should be professional killers.

After Song Ling tore off the veils of both of them, he found that he didn't know any of these two people, and they should have been hired by others. It was strange, who would have such a deep hatred with him, and even hired an assassin to kill him? Is it a rival in business?
Qi Bo hastily pushed aside the people and rushed to Song Ling, looked him up and down several times, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with Song Ling, he was relieved: "What happened to the young master, why are there two dead people here?"

Song Ling shook his head, he himself couldn't figure out what was going on, but this man died in his mansion anyway, so he asked Qi Bo to send someone to the mansion to inform Zhao Butou to come.

Two groups of people came in just now, one group is here, what about the other group?No, those people are still in the mansion, and they don't know where they went. Song Ling broke out in a cold sweat when he thought of this, how could he forget this, and immediately said to the guards: "Two groups of people sneaked into the house." In the mansion, there should be other dials besides this one, look around quickly!" As soon as the voice fell, I heard the sound of weapons intersecting and muffled groans coming from the direction of Yinxuexuan.

Rushi is in danger!Song Ling ran to Yinxuexuan, and before he entered the door, he saw four men in black attacking an old man in civilian clothes who was about fifty years old. It could be seen that the old man's martial arts were not weak, otherwise it would be impossible to One against four, but there were already many wounds on his body, and blood was oozing non-stop. He was able to hold on until now because of a willpower. None of these people was known by Song Ling.
