Chapter 331 He Deserves to Die
Arrived at Zhangjiawan.
The carriage stopped in front of a house.
This is where they will stay tonight.
Qin Chi had someone come to take care of things in advance, so the house was prepared with daily necessities, including rice, grains, meat and vegetables.
The rooms have been cleaned and you can move in just by packing your bags.
However, before dinner, Qin Chi was called out for something, and Song Jin ate alone at home. He was worried about something and his appetite was not very good. He only ate a few bites of rice and vegetables.
Yin Long asked worriedly, "Young Miss, can't you eat a little more?"
"No need."
Song Jin shook his head.
Yin Long said: "Then I will prepare a midnight snack for you later."
"Thank you, Aunt Long." Song Jin did not refuse her kindness.
Instead, Yin Long sat aside, hesitant to speak, "Young lady, aren't you going to visit your grandparents?"
"ah?"
Song Jin was stunned for a moment, "Maternal grandparents' home?"
When Yin Long saw Song Jin's expression, she knew that she had never thought about it. "Your maternal grandfather's ancestral home is here. I don't know what the situation is like now. After all, so many years have passed."
Song Jin shook his head and said, "We didn't contact each other at the beginning, so we won't contact each other for the time being. We'll talk about it after the situation stabilizes. Although our current situation seems to be prosperous, it is actually like walking on thin ice."
"Aren't they missing you?"
Yin Long thought of the Huizhou Song family case that had been making the rounds in the capital a few days ago, "I think they should have heard about the Huizhou incident as well."
"Then they would probably think that something happened to me too." Sister Song Jin was sent away in a hurry by their father, and not many people knew about it. When she was leaving, she saw that the courtyard where she lived was on fire.
The story of her and Song Xiu being alive.
I'm afraid even the other members of the Song family might not know about it. Song's father also took great pains to conceal their whereabouts.
Song Jin saw that Yin Long seemed to have something else to say, "Aunt Long, just say whatever you want to say. There's no need to keep it in your heart."
"It seems that your maternal grandfather, the Zhang family, worked under the governor of the Grand Canal."
Yin Long knew that Song Jin had a merchant ship, and her son Xing Lun was always highly valued by Song Jin. "Last time, I overheard A Lun mentioning it at home. He said that the biggest expense of merchants was on the road. He also said something about the grain transport, and that the people who managed it were getting more and more greedy."
Song Jin couldn't help but frown after hearing this.
Before, she only knew that her maternal grandfather’s family were officials in Beijing.
She never paid attention to what specific official it was.
Now Yinlong told her that her grandfather worked for the Governor of Grand Canal Transport?
Song Jin thought about his situation, and after thinking for a while, he still shook his head, "Aunt Long, it's not appropriate for me to meet my grandparents now. I will go to visit my grandparents in person when the time is right."
There was a look of regret on Yinlong's face.
However, she did not force Song Jin to go.
Song Jin knew what she was regretting, so he said, "Just because I don't visit doesn't mean I can't contact you. I'll write a letter to A Lun to let him know I'm safe, and ask him to go to my grandparents' house privately to test the waters the next time he comes here on business."
"Oh, okay."
Yin Long smiled and responded, "As long as you can report that you are safe, that way your grandmother won't have to worry about you. Back then, your grandfather and grandmother loved your mother the most."
"Then why did my mother marry into Huizhou Prefecture?"
That's a long way off! Yin Long said with a smile, "The Zhang and Song families are old friends, and your parents' marriage was arranged when they were young."
This was the first time Song Jin heard of this.
The two chatted a lot more, mostly Yinlong did the talking and Song Jin listened. All Yinlong talked about were things about her maternal grandparents' family. Before Song's mother got married, Yinlong was a house-born child and grew up in the Zhang family mansion.
Song Jin remembered that when she was a child, her maternal grandparents would send festival gifts to Huizhou, and her uncles would give her cartloads of gifts.
Later, something happened to the Song family and they lost contact.
In her previous life, Song Jin married into Qinjiagou, and subconsciously didn't want to contact her maternal family. In this life, she almost never even thought about coming back.
In Yinlong's case, she had lost contact with her maternal family for six or seven years, but for Songjin, it was two lifetimes.
Moreover, speaking of the fleet, Song Jin had been using the pseudonym "Song Huaijin" when he was doing business outside. The household registration was also real, and it was originally the property of a missing child from a branch of the Song family.
Song Jin would not contact his maternal grandparents rashly.
First, she was not clear about the situation of her maternal grandparents' family.
Second, I don’t want to bring trouble to my grandparents’ family.
Even if the Song family was cleared of the charges, it would still be a big problem. Qin Chi's background was also a problem. You have to know that her mother-in-law Li and Qin Chi have not dared to recognize Helian Pu openly until now! The only thing that could make Qin Chi so cautious was a matter of life and death.
And the lives of the Song family are also in the hands of others! After Yin Long left.
Song Jin sat quietly and thought for a long time.
She didn't come to her senses until Qin Chi came back.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
This made Qin Chi mistakenly think that Song Jin was thinking about Yang Lingyu again, so he gently sat on the chair next to her, poured himself a bowl of tea, and asked softly: "Madam, do you really want Yang Lingyu to die?"
"He deserves to die."
Song Jin blurted out hatefully.
Only after she said it did she realize that she had said something wrong. Song Jin smiled dryly and asked gently, "My husband is back. Are you done with your work?"
"As soon as I'm done, I'll rush back to accompany my wife."
If someone else said this, they might think it was a bit greasy, but when Qin Chi said this, his tone was calm as usual, as if he was stating a fact.
Yang Lingyu had long been one of the people on Song Jin's list of enemies who must be killed.
Don't be fooled by her usual indifference.
I just hide the hatred deep in my heart.
Qin Chi looked at Song Jin deeply.
Without saying anything, he waited for her to go back to her room to take a shower and prepare to rest.
He called Qin Yi again, "Go back to Uncle Hong and ask him to do something. I think the method of killing the governor is very good, you can arrange it for Yang Lingyu."
Qin Yi obeyed the order and left.
So, late that night.
The Xingbu Prison.
A jailer holding a lantern came to the cell where Yang Lingyu was imprisoned.
He opened the cell door.
Yang Lingyu woke up with a start and sat up quickly.
The jailer smiled ingratiatingly and placed the lamp between the two of them.
In order to reassure Yang Lingyu, the jailer stepped back half a foot and said, "Master Yang, I have been ordered to tell you a message."
"What message do you want to pass on? Who asked you to pass it on?"
Yang Lingyu looked at the strange jailer with great vigilance.
The jailer bowed and said, "The Lord said that your former superior, the governor, committed suicide by taking poison in his own office. Before he died, he wrote a suicide note in which he admitted that the case of the drug dealer Song was his fault."
"really?"
Yang Lingyu was delighted.
Is this what Uncle arranged? Uncle really didn't give up on him! Yang Lingyu was so excited that he didn't notice that the lamp on the ground was emitting a thin stream of smoke.
The next moment, Yang Lingyu felt dizzy.
When he realized something was wrong, he lost consciousness again in an instant and fell to the ground.
