Shen Chen said calmly: "The Yanmen Pass case has long been determined to be a secret case, and its files are included in the palace cabinet. Small officials like Song Lingjun do not have the qualifications and authority to see it."

"However, seven years ago, during the Xuanwumen Palace Incident, the old man in charge of the cabinet, Qi Ge, was killed by the rebels. The cabinet was immediately lost. A large number of rebels broke in and destroyed it, and set a fire, resulting in a large number of secret files. It was destroyed. Later, when the emperor ascended the throne, he ordered people to repair the cabinet, and then reconstructed the secret volume of the case according to the records of the past."

Lin Xi asked: "What does this have to do with Song Lingjun?"

Shen Chen explained: "There were not enough manpower at the time, so people from all six departments were sent to compile the records. Because the secret files of those cases were huge and took several years, some people kept some for later copying. Although the Yanmenguan case is confidential, But it is inevitable that some of the case information will be left behind and placed in the Treasury of the Ministry of War."

Lin Xi vaguely understood: "You are saying that Song Lingjun cannot have seen the specific records of the Yanmenguan case, but maybe he saw some records or mentioned them when he was performing his duties at the Ministry of War?"

Shen Chen nodded: "Exactly. Maybe he has seen my name in it, but because he didn't remember it clearly, he doesn't understand why I appeared in it."

Lin Xi was confused: "But when you were the general of the country, didn't you use the name Shen Zhonghan? I heard that you rarely tell others about your proof."

Oh, Wanyan is the one who knows.

Shen Chen said: "Song Lingjun also studied at Chen's private school when he was young."

Lin Xi understood: "He knows your handwriting?"

Shen Chen hummed, "Although I didn't know him well at that time and later left, Master Li liked him very much. Yunhe and he were also classmates. It's not surprising that he had heard of me from them occasionally."

Lin Xi couldn't help but sigh: "Then he knows that your status is extraordinary. Later, he served as the county captain of Peixian County and often wrote to you to ask for advice. It is really a great courage."

Shen Chen shook his head and said, "Not necessarily."

Lin Xi: “What do you mean?”

Shen Chen took another drink of water to moisten his throat, and his voice was smooth: "He just believed in Yun He. In addition, he knew Yun He's identity. He thought, even if Yun He told him that he could ask me, my identity must not be known. He came to ask me what was important. But the incident in Jinling made him realize that I am not simple."

Lin Xi was speechless for a moment and said, "No matter what, he still chose to believe in you in the end, right?"

Shen Chen said: "Maybe."

Lin Xi said: "As long as he believes in you, he will still be our good friend. In the future, he will go north to take a post again, and he is willing to work at Yanmen Pass, which shows that he does not care about your identity."

After thinking about it, Lin Xi felt: "In general, Song Lingjun is a friend worth making."

Shen Chen twitched the corners of his mouth but said nothing.

Lin Xi saw that it was getting late, so he called Yan Zhong and the others back to rest.

Yan Zhong had already finished feeding the horse, but Wang Shou and Du Buyou didn't know what happened. Du Buyou's attitude toward Wang Shou returned to the previous state, which made Wang Shou smile from ear to ear and made Yan Zhong laugh. I hate being stupid.

The group of people went back to their rooms to rest, and had breakfast the next morning before continuing on the road.

Because they were thinking about the children, Lin Xi and his party did not stay at the inn on the way back. Except for the convenience of eating, they were always on the road.

Finally, on the night of April 4th, they finally entered Ruyang.

The group of people rested for the night at the nearest inn, and set off again on the morning of the 5th, hurrying slowly and arriving at Hai County in the afternoon.

Lin Xi was so excited that she didn't even feel like reading a book and sat directly outside the carriage.

The scene in Hai County is different from when they left.

Now that they are back, it is the middle of spring, and the clothes they wear are much thinner. Lin Xi can't help but think that the children's spring clothes are all at home. I wonder if Jiang Yu has sent someone back to Ping County to bring them to the children. .

After arriving outside Master Li's house, Lin Xi immediately jumped out of the car.

When the boys on duty outside the mansion saw them, they immediately recognized them and ran in to report loudly.

Yan Zhong was a little worried: "Brother Shen, sister-in-law, although we are no longer suspects, we have never been here before, so why don't we come to visit like this?"

"What are you afraid of? Master Li and Jiang Yu won't care."

Lin Xi comforted her and told Shen Chen and the others to pack their luggage quickly. She couldn't bear it anymore and ran in quickly with her clothes in hand. She only had time to hear Shen Chen tell her to run slower.

And just when she entered and walked around the screen wall, she saw Jiang Yu coming with the three treasures and the four treasures in front of her!

When the elder and the younger saw her, they both had expressions of disbelief.

"Linxi!"

Jiang Yu was the first to react, shouting in surprise and joy, which also brought San Bao and Si Bao back to their senses.

The two cubs couldn't stand it any longer and ran towards Lin Xi crying.

Lin Xi's heart twitched as soon as he saw it, and he hurried over and was rushed into his arms by them.

"Mom, you are finally back!"

"Si Bao thought he would never see his mother again, wuwuwu!!"

Lin Xi was so distressed that she hurriedly coaxed: "How could it be? Didn't my mother appear in front of you well? Well, well, stop crying. Mother apologizes to you. I shouldn't have left you here, but this time, mother Bring your father back too! Our family can be reunited again!"

"Really?!"

Sanbao and Sibao looked up at her with tears in their eyes.

Lin Xi wiped their tears with her sleeves, and just then Shen Chen came in with his luggage. Jiang Yu happily called Brother Shen, and the two children immediately noticed.

They wanted to run over and hug Shen Chen, but they couldn't bear to let go of Lin Xi. They were in a dilemma for a while, and finally called "Dad" pitifully.

No matter how calm Shen Chen was, he couldn't help but feel soft. He strode towards them, then squatted down and opened his hands: "Come, give daddy a hug."

The three and four treasures immediately rushed towards him, hugging him tightly and not letting go, whimpering and crying.

Shen Chen touched their heads and coaxed softly: "It's dad's fault. It won't be like this again."

Sanbao raised his head and looked nervously at Shen Chen. When he saw that he was fine and uninjured, he wiped his tears and said, "It's good that you come back safely. It's best if you're safe."

Shen Chen had previously learned from Wang Shou and others that Sanbao knew about his life experience.

Looking at San Bao at this moment, he felt very complicated and felt sorry for San Bao. He took San Bao into his arms and comforted him: "No matter what happens in the future, you will always be my father's children. Thinking of you, dad will come back no matter how difficult it is."

Sanbao heard the meaning behind Shen Chen's words, his eyes were sore, tears fell from his eyes, and he hugged Shen Chen tightly.

Si Bao looked up at Shen Chen: "There are still Si Bao! Si Bao also wants daddy to hug him!"

Shen Chen hugged her as he was told, and Si Bao's eyebrows were full of longing and dependence.

After hugging her for a while, she waved to Lin Xi like a little adult and said coquettishly: "Mother, come here, mother, give me a hug too! Let's all give her a hug!"
