The status of the Anyi Marquis Mansion is naturally very different from that of the Zhang family.
Although Zhang Yucong was weaker in knowledge than his two brothers, he still worked hard for the Zhang family. Now that something happened to Zhang Yucong, the Zhang family would not ignore it at a critical moment.
When the Zhang family attacked Anyihou's mansion, they naturally knew the shortcomings of Anyihou.
No matter how you look at it, the Anyi Hou Mansion is at a disadvantage. Even if you try your best, you may not have an absolute chance of winning.
"Sir, Mr. Huang from Shuntian Mansion is here."
It's so late, Huang Qinghe will still come to the door.
Yong Ye invited Huang Qinghe into the study. Huang Qinghe seemed to be in good spirits, but there were blisters at the corners of his mouth and his eyes were full of red bloodshot eyes.
No wonder Huang Qinghe was like this. Early this morning he was questioned by officials from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple whether he had leaked important facts during the investigation.
In front of all the adults, Huang Qinghe explained everything in detail from the beginning of the investigation to the present, and answered the adults' inquiries from time to time. It was inevitable that he would be anxious at the end of the day. Huang Qinghe had tried his best to stabilize his mind and not let himself get confused.
Thoughts.
Huang Qinghe paid tribute to Song Chengxuan.
The two of them sat down, and a servant of the Song family brought tea, and then gently closed the study door.
Huang Qinghe pursed his lips and said, "Sir Song, have you noticed that the atmosphere in the Criminal Department is unusual?"
Without waiting for Song Chengxuan to speak, Huang Qinghe continued: "This case seems to have witnesses and physical evidence. As long as the documents are sorted out, we can continue to investigate. But now someone is obviously trying to stir up trouble."
Huang Qinghe could say such words, but he was not prepared to bow his head like this.
Song Chengxuan said: "If this is really the case, what are you going to do, Mr. Huang?"
Huang Qinghe said: "I think if they dare to do this, there must be loopholes in the case. If the facts of the case can be corroborated one by one, there will be no opportunities for others to take advantage of... So..."
Song Chengxuan nodded: "That's why Mr. Huang came to find me and wanted to ask again if I could find a way to determine the identity of the pirates who were smuggling with the Zhang family and the Sun family."
Huang Qinghe's eyes were earnest: "In order to find out the case, Huang has no choice but to shamelessly come to Master Song for advice."
Song Chengxuan said: "Master Huang, does he know how many pirates there are on the sea?" At this point, he narrowed his eyes slightly, "Maybe just when I was talking to Master Huang, there were pirates robbing merchant ships, and they were not restricted by anyone, they only did
What is beneficial to them is that even if they figure out which pirate is suspected, they cannot arrest him and bring him to the Zhou Dynasty for interrogation."
Huang Qinghe's eyes dimmed slightly.
Song Chengxuan continued: "If the pirate has the support of the Japanese as I speculated, it will be even more difficult to catch. The imperial court will not send a large number of people to crusade. At most, it will send dozens of people to investigate the situation. Pirates have always been
He is cruel, and if he finds someone coming, he will definitely kill him."
Huang Qinghe didn't know much about war at sea. Now after listening to Song Chengxuan's words, he knew that everything was not that simple: "In this case, the final result is very likely that not only will we not be able to catch the pirates, but we will also suffer heavy losses in manpower."
After Huang Qinghe figured this out, he understood the Zhang family's intentions better: "It is because dealing with pirates is very dangerous that the Zhang family dares to do this.
Moreover, we are only inferring the identity of the pirates, and no one will risk their lives for such a small guess."
After Huang Qinghe finished speaking, he stood up and saluted Song Chengxuan: "Thank you, Mr. Song, for your guidance. Since this road is unworkable, I will think of other ways."
After Huang Qinghe finished speaking, he was about to leave, but suddenly he remembered something: "Sir Song, you went to Baiyun Temple that day because you had suspicions about the Sun family..." At this point, he paused slightly as if he didn't know what to say.
Song Chengxuan raised his head to meet Huang Qinghe's gaze: "Master Huang would like to ask, I met people from the Anyihou Mansion on the way to Beijing, and this case happened to run into the people from the Anyihou Mansion. Is it the case between An Yi and me?"
I have some friendship with you."
Huang Qinghe nodded.
Song Chengxuan said: "There is no friendship, it's just a coincidence."
Huang Qinghe saluted: "I understand."
Huang Qinghe was about to walk out of the study.
Song Chengxuan stood there and suddenly spoke again: "Although I don't have any friendship with the Anyi Houfu, since the imperial court ordered me to investigate the case together, I will do my best as long as I can help the case."
Huang Qinghe stopped and turned to salute Song Chengxuan again. This time he bent deeper.
"This Mr. Huang is indeed upright. No matter who gets the hint from the Zhang family, even if they don't choose the Zhang family, they will not actively fight against the Zhang family."
After Yong Ye said this, he was a little annoyed. During the days when Master Zhang was away, he should not take the initiative to share what Master Zhang should say. He should stand aside and say nothing. This is in line with his identity and status, but looking at the young master
Without speaking, he couldn't help but said: "The people from the Criminal Department suspected that Mr. Huang had a secret relationship with the Anyi Marquis Mansion, so they questioned Mr. Huang. Not only did Mr. Huang not restrain himself, he was still determined to investigate.
I’m afraid I will be questioned even more later.”
Song Chengxuan narrowed his eyes slightly. Huang Qinghe and An Yihou must have never met before. If anyone deliberately doubted it, they would only start with Xu Qinghuan.
It is true that Xu Qinghuan and Huang Qinghe speculated on the case together, so it would not be surprising if someone said something about it.
Huang Qinghe, a small Tongpan, dared to confront the Zhang family, perhaps because the Anyi Houfu was supporting him behind his back.
Song Chengxuan frowned, unwilling to think too much about the Anyi Hou Mansion.
"Sir, there is something going on at the Anyihou Mansion."
As soon as Song Chengxuan was about to go back to his room to rest, the guard came forward to report, and he couldn't help but stop.
…
Brother and sister Xu Qing'an and Xu Qinghuan followed Anyi Hou all the way back to the Hou Mansion.
The gate of the Hou Mansion was right in front, and Marquis Anyi walked in first. Xu Qingan stopped, with a rather uneasy look on his face.
"Why doesn't brother leave?" Xu Qinghuan asked.
Xu Qingan held his forehead with a grimace on his face: "Sister, do you think I'm sick? There were stars in front of my eyes just now, and I felt very uncomfortable."
Xu Qinghuan almost did not hesitate: "No."
Xu Qing'an said: "Then why am I doing this?" He blinked his eyes, as if he could really see little stars waving to him.
Xu Qinghuan looked at his brother carefully: "Brother has developed the ability to predict what will happen in a while."
Xu Qingan's whole face fell down, stars were shining in his eyes, and he felt uncomfortable all over. It was the feeling after being beaten. His sister really turned bad. Not only did she not comfort him, she even stood aside and ridiculed: "Don't blame me, you dare to say that you haven't thought about it.
…”
Xu Qinghuan nodded with a very formal expression: "If you think about it, everyone will be curious."
When Xu Qingan heard this, he felt as if he had found a treasure: "Sister, tell your father what you just said later." In this way, he might escape.
"I'm curious, but I don't know how to say it," Xu Qinghuan sighed and looked at his dark-faced father not far away, "Brother, go over there!"
Xu Qingan was about to cry: "Will you give me food and medicine?"
Xu Qinghuan nodded: "Yes."
Marquis An Yi was already impatient with waiting and said sternly to Xu Qing'an: "Come here quickly."
