Song Qingshu went straight to the place where the guards were healing their wounds after leaving the inner house, and asked a few of them who were less injured and in good spirits about what happened last night.
"Last night, when we were escorting Gang Leader Huang back, we passed near the Yongjin Gate, and suddenly two men in black appeared..." The group of guards began to describe the scene in a hurry.
"Two people beat you up like this?" Song Qingshu was puzzled. Most of these guards were carefully selected by Han Yuzhou. Huang Rong, although her skill was affected by her pregnancy, but combined with her intelligence and dog-beating stick technique, she can be regarded as a first-class master in the arena. This configuration was defeated by four people without any suspense. It can be seen that the opponent's martial arts how high.
Hearing Song Qingshu's question, the guards looked ashamed: "Those two men in black have too weird martial arts and fast movements. We are no match."
"You were seriously injured, so it can be seen that you were desperately protecting Chief Huang at that time, so you have done your best, so you don't have to blame yourself." Seeing the ashamed appearance of a group of people, Song Qingshu comforted him.
Hearing what he said, a group of guards looked excited, and a feeling of dying for their confidants arose in their hearts.
"It's strange to say that our brothers thought we were going to die, but those two men in black just ensured that we lost our combat effectiveness and didn't take our lives." One of the guards said doubtfully.
Song Qingshu was already wondering about this matter before, hearing this, he frowned and asked, "Could it be someone you know?"
The group of guards shook their heads one after another: "No, those two people are unfamiliar, and they don't look familiar; what's more, there is no one with such high martial arts among the people we know."
Song Qingshu pondered for a while, then suddenly asked: "How about the two of them's martial arts skills?"
"Their tricks are like this..." Among them, the two who were least injured jumped out of the bed and began to gesture while recalling.
Song Qingshu thought while watching: "I can't see their martial arts methods, either they deliberately hid them and didn't use their own martial arts; or...they are not from the Jianghu at all."
If you want to subdue Huang Rong, who knows how to beat dogs and sticks, even if you are a person at the level of Wujue, it may not be easy. How can there be so many masters. Combined with the fact that this is the capital city, it seems that the latter is more likely.
After a few words of condolence to the guards, Song Qingshu went back to the study and began to think about where to start to investigate. Compared with the previous disappearance, this time there is less information and no way to get it.
After thinking for a while and still having no clue, Song Qingshu couldn't help feeling restless.
"Report to the lord, Chen Youliang, please see me!" The maidservant outside reported.
"Let him in." Song Qingshu pondered in his heart, it seems that the only way to find a needle in a haystack is to rely on the beggar gang.
Not long after, Chen Youliang trotted in: "Young Master, Youliang! Oh no, it should be King Qi."
"Please hurry up, you don't have to be so polite." Seeing the bloodshot eyes of the other party, Song Qingshu had to admit that although Chen Youliang's character was questionable, he was serious in his work and strong in ability, so he was a must. A lot of talent.
"I just received the news. I heard that the lord has found the mistress and the others?" Chen Youliang mobilized everyone from the beggar gang to search for it all night, but there was no result at all. Just as he was feeling uneasy, he heard that Song Qingshu had found someone. He couldn't help but feel overjoyed. After all, when the other party is in a happy mood after the reunion, they will not take their anger out on him.
"Yingying and Miss Yue have indeed been rescued. As for Chief Huang," Song Qingshu said with an uneasy expression, "We were rescued at first, but they were robbed halfway, so you will have to work hard for a few more days and continue to stay in the city." Inquire about her whereabouts."
Hearing Huang Rong's disappearance, Chen Youliang was secretly pleased. You must know that he stole the power of the Jiangnan Beggar Clan. He has always been very afraid of the former leader who was superior to him in both intelligence and prestige. He was worried that she would come to trouble him. , wishing that she would never come back.
Of course, he only dared to think about all this quietly in his heart. The man in front of him was not easy to be fooled. Thinking of the various cruel methods of the other party before, he weighed it and gave up the plan of obedience and disobedience.
"Anyway, if you try your best to find it, you probably won't find it. Why should I give someone a blame and become the target of his anger?" Chen Youliang was indifferent in his heart, but on the surface he looked attentive: "Okay, after I go back, I will arrange a helper." The brother is looking for it in the city."
Song Qingshu nodded, pondered for a moment and said to him: "Now that I have the prince of King Qi, I can set up the three divisions of the palace and appoint officials by myself. Well, you forgive me, I decided to hire you and your master to come to the Qi Palace. As Sima, handle various affairs of the palace."
Chen Youliang was slightly astonished, and then overjoyed, directly knelt down and said, "Thank you, my lord!"
How can he not be happy, you must know that although he secretly took charge of the Jiangnan beggar gang, he is considered a figure in the Jianghu, but looking at the world, in the eyes of those rich and nobles, he is just a mud leg, but after becoming a Sima, it will be very different In an instant, a commoner became an official official of the imperial court.
You must know that among the official positions in the palace, the highest is Wang Fu. As the prince's counselor, he is often held by an elder who is highly respected and famous for his talents and learning. The official residence is from the third rank; Up; the next is Chang Shi, who is in charge of the money, food, litigation and other things of the palace, and the official residence is under the fourth rank!
You must know that those scholars have studied hard for decades, and after fighting with thousands of troops to become the top two candidates, most of them can get a seventh-rank position. Many people even spent many years in the capital without waiting for a vacancy. First of all, from the level of the fourth rank, it can really envy countless people.
Looking at Chen Youliang's ecstatic expression, Song Qingshu nodded secretly. Before that, Chen Youliang had to rely on various pressures to make Chen Youliang obey his orders. After wielding the big stick for a long time, he must give him a carrot to taste, so that he can be more at ease. Do things yourself.
After Chen Youliang left, Song Qingshu thought about it and sent someone to find Li Haonan. He took the initiative to seek refuge, so he must be at ease.
The two chatted for a while, and finally Song Qingshu appointed their brother as a counselor to join the army, that is, a staff officer, and the official position is at the top of the fifth rank.
Li Haonan was overjoyed. After all, they didn't want to be bandits for the rest of their lives. They always wanted to have a serious identity. Now they have not only become an officer, but also a general. How can they not be happy
Thinking of his mother's happy expression when she found out, Li Haonan felt more and more that taking refuge in Song Qingshu was the best decision in his life.
Song Qingshu asked about the situation of the Loyalty Army in the Dabie Mountains. Now Zhang Rou and his son are dead, and their confidants were also lost last night, so they decided to send the two brothers back to the Dabie Mountains to gather the remnants of the Loyalty Army. Plan, after all, bring troops to vote and two bare commanders to seek refuge, and you can know the difference if you think about it with your toes.
Li Haonan decided to let his elder brother Li Haotian stay in the palace to recover from his injuries, and he went back to Dabie Mountain first. First, time waits for no one. If he returns after Li Haotian recovers from his injury, the loyal army may have fallen and scattered; secondly, he has a delicate mind , in order to reassure the new master, deliberately leaving his brother in the palace is also a gesture.
As the so-called courteous reciprocity, Song Qingshu also made enough gestures to personally send him out of the mansion. He had just bid farewell to Li Haonan, and when he was about to return to the mansion, a familiar voice suddenly came from not far away: "Brother Song!"
Song Qingshu looked back and saw Guo Jing running over anxiously.
"Brother Guo, sit inside." Song Qingshu invited.
"I won't go in," Guo Jing shook his head, obviously not in the mood to drink tea, "Do you have any news about Rong'er?"
Song Qingshu hesitated for a moment, and finally told the truth, told what happened last night, and then said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Brother Guo, I didn't expect Cheng Yaojin to be killed halfway."
Guo Jing listened to him with a solemn face, and finally shook his head and said, "How can I blame you? I am already very grateful to you for saving Rong'er from the loyal army. As for the accident that happened later, no one can predict it." arrive."
Song Qingshu couldn't help sighing that Guo Jing was indeed a very sensible person, if he didn't help relatives in the typical gang in his mind, if it was Huang Rong instead, it was hard to guarantee that he wouldn't get emotional.
"Who are those two men in black? Are there any clues?" Guo Jing hurriedly asked.
Song Qingshu shook his head: "I have no clue now."
Guo Jing sighed: "Then let's investigate each other separately, and notify each other in time if we have any latest news." As soon as he finished speaking, Song Qingshu left in a hurry without waiting for Song Qingshu to stay.
"I hope he can make some progress." Song Qingshu sighed. Guo Jing has been famous for so long, so he naturally has his network channels, and with the help of Jia Sidao behind him, maybe he can find out anything.
After hesitating for a while, Song Qingshu didn't go back to the mansion, but went straight to another direction.
Let's say that in Yushi's Mansion, a charming girl in red was swinging in the back garden, but she didn't have the slightest smile on her face as usual. She was in an irritable mood, and the maid who accompanied her was driven away by her.
"I'm so pissed off, why does Miss Ben stay at home every day!" Shi Xiangyun said suddenly, gnashing his teeth, but soon lost his momentum completely.
"That bastard is too scary. It would be really troublesome if he ran into him when he went out. It would be safer at home." Shi Xiangyun murmured.
"Is the bastard that Miss Shi is talking about me?" At this time, a voice that made her unforgettable suddenly sounded in her ears.
During this period of time, I often had nightmares and dreamed of this voice, how could Shi Xiangyun not hear it, his body stiffened and he looked up to follow the sound, only to see that devilish man standing on the swing frame and looking at him coldly.
"Ah~" Shi Xiangyun's heart tightened, his whole body seemed to be heavy with lead, and he fell headfirst from the swing to the ground without paying attention.
