When Qing Huan mentioned Lord Song, An Yihou thought of the night at the inn where he felt someone was in his daughter's room, and when he pushed the door in, he saw the open window.
Although the women's room is on the second floor, for those with good skills, this height is not a big deal.
An Yihou always felt that his judgment was correct. His many years of experience in leading troops could quickly make him feel the danger. Not only were there people in Qinghuan's house, but they were also hostile to them.
"The Song family assisted the imperial court in shipbuilding in Quanzhou and made a lot of contributions. Song Chengxuan also made many military exploits under Fujian Commander-in-Chief Shen Congrong. The Ministry of War valued this very much, and the Zhang family also intended to recruit him. Although Song Chengxuan's official position was still low, with his With his age and ability, and with a few more years of experience in the Southeast, he is very likely to become a young upstart in the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Qing Huan listened to her father's words and looked at his serious face, and suddenly felt very happy.
Her father passed away early in her previous life and had no chance to discuss Song Chengxuan's merits and demerits with her. However, her father spoke so carefully and looked at her expression while talking. He probably suspected that she was having a private relationship with Song Chengxuan.
My mother is simple-minded and can easily be fooled by her, but my father is different.
Sure enough, An Yihou's eyes changed again: "Tell me, how many times have you met him?"
Her father may have made a mistake.
Xu Qinghuan looked at An Yihou seriously: "I did meet Mr. Song a few times, but it was all for investigating the case. My daughter did not lie to you. When I was in Fengxiang, I even suspected that he was the real culprit behind the scenes..."
An Yihou frowned, feeling frightened in his heart: "You suspect that he is the real culprit behind the scenes, yet you dare to meet him? If he really is, don't you want to lose your life?"
Xu Qinghuan said: "My daughter knew it well, and she even asked Uncle Lei for help before returning to Beijing."
An Yihou's anger seemed to have subsided a little, but he quickly asked again: "Was it him who was in your room that night?"
Having said this, she naturally could only admit: "My daughter just wants to clarify the case with him."
"You are asking a question, where is he?" An Yihou asked.
Hearing his father interrogating his sister, Xu Qingan, who was hiding aside, immediately came out and said: "Father, my sister is really asking questions. I am always there. If the man named Song dares to have ill intentions towards my sister, I will definitely kill him." Under the sword."
Sure enough, anything with the word "causing trouble" is related to this bastard.
An Yihou looked at his son coldly: "I want to see how capable you are of killing people with the sword."
Xu Qingan had a bad feeling.
An Yihou said: "Take your sword and follow me to the atrium."
Xu Qingan's face suddenly fell. The last time his father fought with him, he lay in bed for more than ten years before getting out of bed. This time...
"Father," the slender figure stopped in front of An Yihou, "Brother, you have made your mistakes today."
An Yihou lowered his eyes.
Xu Qinghuan said: "You hand over military power and would rather stay at home. I'm afraid you don't care about the title of Marquis of Anyi for a long time. Not only that, you don't want your brother to become an official, right? Of course, my brother also has mediocre qualifications, but if If it weren't for your indulgence, he wouldn't have reached this point.
Although I don’t know what you are thinking, but after this time you have seen that my brother was almost imprisoned unjustly, what would you do if something went wrong for him?"
In his previous life, his father risked his life in order to save his brother. In addition to the love between father and son, his father must have felt guilty towards his brother.
"Although we escaped this time, we haven't fundamentally solved the problem," Xu Qinghuan said. "My brother is not without merit. He doesn't like studying, but he has rarely suffered losses in fights since he was a child. He has been protecting me along the way.
, I also feel a lot more at ease. You cannot support such a big Houfu alone, and... Father, I always feel that Fengxiang’s case is just the beginning. Maybe the Anyi Houfu will be involved in disputes again.
middle.
We cannot let others dictate to us, so before that happens, something must change."
An Yihou looked at his daughter's clear eyes, as if he could see everything clearly. He turned to look at his son again. Maybe his daughter was right: "Starting from tomorrow, wait for me in the atrium on time at the end of Yinshi."
Xu Qingan looked surprised, and it took him a while to realize: "Is father going to teach me personally?"
"Yes," Xu Qinghuan said, "I still have gifts to give to my brother."
Feng Chu placed a box of bruises in Meng Lingyun's hand.
Xu Qingan felt that his body was beginning to hurt.
…
An Yihou returned to the study, and Uncle Lei walked in.
Anyi Hou said: "Did you hear what Qing Huan said?"
Uncle Lei nodded: "I think the eldest lady thinks more clearly than the Marquis. The Marquis has been like this all these years because he feels that he has no face to face his old friend. However, the rebellion of King Wei back then was not something that the Marquis could control.
"
An Yihou clenched his fists: "But we all know that King Wei was framed. When the late emperor was seriously ill, he asked King Wei to come forward to stabilize the court. The former emperor's condition improved, but he removed King Wei. I would have known that this would happen
Under such circumstances, I shouldn’t have visited Prince Wei’s Mansion several times back then and dragged...him...into the water."
Those who betrayed the King of Wei and framed the King of Wei back then were transformed into high positions and lived a life of wealth and splendor. They seemed to have forgotten the murder.
But he could not forget that when An Yihou closed his eyes, he seemed to still be able to smell the smell of blood.
Uncle Lei said: "Even the Marquis of Guangping has let go, but now you are the only one who still misses me."
While he was talking, someone announced: "The Marquis of Guangping is here."
In just a few days, Marquis Guangping's hair had turned gray and he looked very old. A famous general who had been fighting for many years ended up like this.
"Have you had any dreams about what happened back then?"
When there was no one else in the room, Marquis Guangping suddenly spoke.
An Yihou brought a cup of hot tea and placed it next to Guangping Hou: "How many days have you not had a good rest?"
Marquis Guangping's eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, and his vision was a little distracted: "I dreamed, and I heard King Wei say that he wanted to play chess with me.
When I woke up, the chess pieces on the table fell to the floor... I dreamed of the deceased, and it seemed that my end was approaching."
After speaking, Marquis Guangping coughed violently.
"You should have a good rest," An Yihou persuaded in a low voice, "This case will be investigated thoroughly, and you will not be allowed to suffer injustice."
"What can we do if we find out?" Marquis Guangping smiled miserably, "My family has been ruined, and now I am holding my breath. I just want to know who is the person who harmed me."
At this point, Marquis Guangping became excited: "I don't know if I will ever see that day again."
After Guangping Hou finished speaking, he was about to leave. His body was hunched, as if he would fall down at any time.
"She will definitely be sad to see Mr. Hou like this."
Marquis Guangping turned his head when he heard the voice and saw Xu Qinghuan in the sunshine.
Xu Qinghuan stepped forward and saluted.
"Who do you think she is?" For some reason, Marquis Guangping felt panicked when he heard this, expecting to get some news from Xu Qinghuan.
Even he himself didn't know what he was looking forward to at this moment.
"You know," Xu Qinghuan said, "the person who hated you but later respected you must not want to see you like this."
she.
Marquis Guangping suddenly laughed: "You are talking about Mrs. Cui? No, I don't know her real name until now. In her mind, I am just a joke."
"She would rather die than implicate you. She knew that you were seriously ill and didn't have much time left, but she still fought for your reputation with her own life. She is Duo Gansi's spy. She and you may be enemies of life and death, so that's it.
Only on the battlefield, she is really a contradictory person. Since she started working as a spy, why did she put herself in such a difficult decision-making situation in the future?
What she did made people angry and sad.
If she hasn’t given up, you, Lord Marquis, should not give up either.”
When Marquis Guangping heard this, his back slowly straightened up, and everything in front of him became blurry, but soon he raised his sleeves to wipe the corners of his eyes.
"Master Marquis, I have a few things I want to ask you for confirmation. If you can help me, maybe everything will be revealed soon and her hard work will not be in vain."
…
In a courtyard in Beijing.
Song Chengxuan walked in from the outside, and Zhenren Zhang followed him all the way to the study: "There is no movement in the Anyi Hou Mansion. It should be easy for Miss Xu to find us."
But she didn't come to the door, and she didn't plan to see the girl again depending on the young master's wishes.
If you don't come, I won't go either. This case is imminent. How can we solve the case if we don't meet each other?
