Before Magistrate Li came to Ruyang, he had secretly checked Shen Chen's background and found out that he was a hunter from Chenyang Village outside Ping County next door. Although he didn't believe it, who knew that this was the one he found.

Of course, there is also the matter of Shen Chen and Lin Xi. They got married unexpectedly a few years ago. At that time, Shen Chen already had four children.

So Magistrate Li only asked Shen Chen what he said and did not bring Lin Xi with him.

Shen Chen narrowed his black eyes and asked lightly: "What do you mean?"

"Master Shen, don't get me wrong. I have no other intentions." Magistrate Li hesitated, "I wonder if Master Shen knows that the chief minister of the cabinet, Mr. Qi Ge, died in the Xuanwu Gate Palace Incident seven years ago?"

Lin Xi's heart skipped a beat, instinctively having a bad premonition, she looked at Shen Chen.

Shen Chen frowned slightly and looked at Master Chen.

Seeing Master Chen nodding towards him, Shen Chen said: "I know. Qi Ge is an old minister of the Qin Dynasty. He is highly virtuous and respected. He was once highly valued by Taizu."

Magistrate Li asked again: "Have Master Shen met Mr. Qi Ge?"

Shen Chen's face was slightly cold and he said: "Old Qi Ge died seven years ago, how can I see him?"

But Magistrate Li asked: "Where was it seven years ago? Have you seen it?"

Shen Chen said: "No. Everyone knows that Qi Ge left home in his later years and rarely interacted with other court officials in private. Because of his advanced age, Taizu allowed him to be exempted from going to court."

At that time, he was in the military camp all year round. He did not meet Mr. Qi Ge during the few times he went to court.

Even Qi Ge Lao's son, he paid little attention to.

When it comes to the second treasure, Lin Xi loses his patience: "Prefect Li, what do you want to say? Just say it! What does this have to do with the second treasure?"

"It's a big deal." Master Chen said, with a very serious look on his face, "Prefect Li told me that Er Bao's appearance is very similar to that of Mr. Qi Ge."

"What?!"

Not to mention Lin Xi, Shen Chen rarely showed an obvious look of surprise.

Magistrate Li nodded solemnly and said: "I am not talented. After the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, he ordered people to repair the cabinet and the files, and he was pointed in. At that time, I saw the portrait of Mr. Qi Ge in the cabinet. Mr. Qi Ge was a loyal and loyal man. It is admirable, so I took a few more glances and remembered it firmly."

Lin Xi was stunned and said: "Prefect Li, are you kidding?"

Magistrate Li said seriously: "How can you joke about this kind of thing?!"

He said: "As far as I know, Mr. Yi is a disciple of Mr. Qi Ge, and he is very familiar with Mr. Qi Ge. If you are not sure, you can ask Mr. Yi."

"But Mr. Yi is in Beijing now." Lin Xi said.

It's very difficult to handle Yi Hong in Beijing.

If you write a letter to Yi Hong and others discover it, what will you do if you find Shen Chen again?

Master Chen thought for a while and suddenly said: "I remember that Yang Shizhong of the Yang family on the right side of the Yangtze River met Mr. Qi Ge."

Shen Chen understood instantly.

Tell Yi Hong that it's not safe.

But Yang Shizhong has something in his hands, and Yang Shizhong will keep it secret.

Next to him, Magistrate Li suddenly said: "Yes, yes! Mr. Yang once worked with Mr. Qi Ge. After spending some time together, he must have met Mr. Qi Ge. Ruyang is closer to Jiangyou than to the capital, so Mr. Yang came here. quick."

Lin Xi subconsciously tugged at Shen Chen's sleeves and asked him what to do.

Shen Chen thought for a while and said, "Prefect Li, just think that Shen Chen owes you a favor and I hope you will keep it a secret."

Magistrate Li was stunned for a moment and said: "But the old Qige family died to protect the Holy One. The Holy One is very sad. If there is a successor to the Qi family, the Holy One will not treat the child badly. He will take the child to the palace and raise it personally." It is possible. Such honor is rare."

Shen Chen insisted: "No, I hope Magistrate Li will keep it a secret and don't tell anyone."

Magistrate Li hesitated.

Master Chen said: "I heard that Magistrate Li returned to Beijing to report on his duties and is expected to be promoted to another level and become a minister of the humerus?"

Magistrate Li was confused as to why Mr. Chen suddenly said this, and said humbly: "The Holy One doesn't think much of him. Mr. Li will devote himself to the Qin Dynasty and die."

Mr. Chen stroked his beard and said, "Unfortunately, I still have some connections in the court, and they are all ministers of the humerus. We will see Governor Li after he returns."

Magistrate Li's expression froze.

Is this... threatening him?

Shen Chen said: "Prefect Li, the noble people Yi Hong is waiting for in Jinling, may not want to know that you know the secret."

Magistrate Li couldn't hold himself any longer.

He almost forgot about that noble man.

A nobleman more noble than Yi Hong, isn't that...

Wait, Shen Chen knows him too! And according to the information he found, Shen Chen came back alone with three children seven years ago without seeing his biological mother.

Could it be that Shen Chen was raised on behalf of someone else, the noble one...

Magistrate Li felt that he had revealed the truth, swallowed his saliva, forced a smile and said: "Li knows it. Mr. Shen and Old General Chen are both right. The matter is not determined, and it is really not good to let the news spread. Li You will definitely keep your mouth shut, for sure.”

Shen Chen said: "Thank you very much."

Master Chen said kindly: "Prefect Li is so cautious, he will definitely have a great future in the future."

Magistrate Li smiled dryly and said, "I would like to borrow some kind words from General Chen."

Master Chen said: "Then Magistrate Li will not be retained."

Magistrate Li was worried about not being able to leave. Hearing this, he quickly stood up and said, "Goodbye, farewell! You two don't have to see me off!"

Seeing him leaving, Lin Xi asked: "Shen Chen, why did you ask Magistrate Li to keep it a secret and not even tell Master Yi?" With Yi Hong here, wouldn't they be more sure? After all, Yi Hong is Qi Ge's disciple.

Master Chen said in a deep voice: "Let's not talk about whether the two treasures are real or not, let's just say that the Xuanwu Sect palace change back then was by no means as simple as it seemed."

"good."

Shen Chen nodded and said, "If it were in the past, that would be fine. But the rebels from back then are still alive, and not all of them have been arrested, which shows that there are still internal thieves in the court, and it is not safe."

Lin Xi understood a little bit, "You're saying that it's fine that the second treasure is not Mr. Qi Ge's child, but if the second treasure is, his identity will be known by someone with an intention at this time, and there will be danger?"

Shen Chen hummed, "Those rebels who have not been captured and brought to justice are like poisonous snakes lurking underground. No one knows when they will come out and bite someone, and who they will bite."

After a pause, Shen Chen added: "In addition, the Qi Ge family has a high and powerful position after all. I always feel that they should not die like that."

Perhaps there is something unknown inside.

No matter which way you look at it, if the second treasure is really from Qige's hometown, it is not appropriate to expose it at this time.

Lin Xi remembered: "I remember you told me that the second treasure was entrusted to you by the people you met when you left Beijing."

Shen Chen: "Not bad."

Lin Xi looked solemnly and said: "Regardless of whether the Second Treasure is right or not, it was not easy for this person to risk his own life to send the Second Treasure away from the capital. Yes, we must be more cautious and not let anything happen to the Second Treasure again in our hands."
