Chapter 46 Acting in Secret

When Song Jin saw him like this, he finally sighed and told the truth: "I'm going to follow Huang Bingliang and find out where he lives first."

"How can you do such a dangerous thing?" Xing Lun's face was full of disapproval.

"I won't act rashly."

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, Song Jin understands this.

She won't take action unless she is absolutely sure.

Today Song Jin just wanted to know where Huang Bingliang's home was and get familiar with the surrounding environment.

Xing Lun said seriously, "The boss can ask me to do anything."

"It's not that both you and Zhou Wei are injured."

One injured his head and the other injured his arm.

No one else is suitable for this job.

Xing Lun said seriously, "Awei and I have known a few people in Yi County over the years. Last time we schemed against Shopkeeper Chai and made him sell a new batch of medicinal herbs. We just asked for help, and the news was not leaked."

"How do you know the news wasn't leaked? This guy almost lost his life."

Song Jin asked back.

Xing Lun shook his head and said stubbornly, "That's not the point. Anyway, the boss has something to tell us to do. You can't take any risks."

"All right."

Song Jin slightly changed his plan, "Do you know anyone reliable?"

"How many do you want?"

"Two or three will do, they want strangers with ferocious looks."

What Song Jin asked people to do was very simple.

Invite a few people to hang around Huang Bingliang's home.

Then Song Jin ordered: "Find another trustworthy person to keep an eye on Huang Bingliang's whereabouts. If he leaves Yi County, be sure to notify me."

Xing Lun didn't understand why Song Jin did this, but he still did what Song Jin said.

There are such people.

You can find several of them among the herbal farmers in the countryside.

So for the next two days, Huang Bingliang always felt that someone was following him, especially when he heard from his family that a stranger appeared nearby and looked very fierce.

Huang Bingliang looked gloomy.

Could it be that the Zeng family wanted to destroy the bridge across the river and kill people to silence them?

Did he really think he was being bullied by Huang Bingliang? The plan to kill Xing Lun and Zhou Wei failed.

The county magistrate is investigating the case with the Dianshi.

Notices were being posted everywhere in the government office, calling for the arrest of Wang Mazi, who sold medicine to Zhou and Xing.

Wang Mazi is Huang Bingliang's good brother.

People are now hiding in the mountains.

If the person was found, not to mention Huang Bingliang, the Zeng family's plan to harm people would also be exposed.

Given the Zeng family's ruthless methods, silencing people is a common practice in order to avoid leaving any evidence.

In the past, Huang Bingliang and several of his brothers had helped the Zeng family to silence people.

Huang Bingliang paid close attention and indeed saw three strange big men who often hung around his house and avoided his gaze when they saw him.

Pretend not to see him.

Or just leave.

Once, I even saw a servant talking to three people from afar.

The boy's clothes and the tag hanging around his waist made him look like a servant of the Zeng family.

If these people knew Huang Bingliang's idea, they would be very confused. Isn't it normal for ordinary people to avoid officials? But that servant was deliberately arranged by Song Jin.

He is an orphan supported by Xing Lun and is working under Xing Lun.

What we want is to make Huang Bingliang misunderstand.

Finally on the third day.

The people sent to keep an eye on Huang Bingliang learned that he had asked for three days' leave from the government office.

"Boss, the people have left and are heading towards the city."

Xing Lun later found out that Song Jin did these things in order to force Huang Bingliang to leave the county.

Song Jin stood up and said, "I'm going to the capital."

"My mother and the others have already gone to Ciguang Temple. You go to the city..."

Yes, two days ago.

Song Jin asked Jin Ling and Yin Long to take a carriage to Ciguang Temple.

Yinlong even deliberately put on a veil and dressed up like Song Jin usually does.

Song Jin said, "I will meet up with them after we get to the city and sort things out."

"I'm going with the host."

Xing Lun didn't really want Song Jin to take any risks.

Although Song Jin gave him the impression that she was not a weak person, she was still a woman after all. Xing Lun was worried all the time about doing such a dangerous thing alone.

It was useless for Xing Lun to object to what Song Jin was determined to do.

"Remember to see the doctor on time every day to change the medicine." After Song Jin gave this instruction, he left the pharmacy through the back door.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Song Jin said this because an incident occurred in She County and someone could confirm that Xing Lun and Zhou Wei were indeed in Yi County.

Song Jin was still dressed as a man.

However, it was not the attire of ordinary people in the past.

Instead, he dressed up as a weak scholar and rented a carriage to go to the provincial capital.

From Yi County to the county, we took the official road all the way.

Song Jin pretended to be a student on his way to the academy and asked the driver to go as fast as possible. Finally, they arrived at the gate of the city when it was getting dark.

When getting off the car, Song Jin's legs felt weak and his stomach was churning. He wanted to vomit several times.

Give the silver to the driver.

Song Jin entered the city carrying a box that looked like it contained books.

I found the nearest inn to stay in.

Not far from the inn there was an ordinary carriage waiting on the street not far away.

"Madam is as capable as young master." Old Huo said while sitting on the shaft of the cart.

Qin Chi in the car looked indifferent.

These past few days, Song Jin has repeatedly refreshed Qin Chi's perception. She is completely different from the tolerance she showed when she was schemed against by her half-sister when they first met, and from the gentleness and submissiveness she showed when facing him.

Old Huo asked again: "Sir, do we also want to stay in the inn?"

"No, wait a moment."

Qin Chi didn't think Song Jin would stay there obediently.

Sure enough, about a quarter of an hour passed.

From the alley next to the inn, an old man walked out tremblingly.

If it wasn’t for the fact that he could tell from her figure, Qin Chi would have almost missed it. “Let someone follow her and protect her.”

"Is that the madam?"

Old Huo looked shocked.

No way, even dressed like this, the young master could recognize her from such a distance? What was the basis for this? Was it the tacit understanding between husband and wife? No matter how shocked and complained Lao Huo was, he still had to do what the young master ordered. He gestured to the dark and waved his hand. Suddenly, two people came out of the dark and went in the direction where Song Jin left.

This made Lao Huo feel itchy.

If his injuries had not yet healed, Old Huo would have wanted to go there in person to see what his wife was going to do.

It didn't take long.

Someone came to report that Song Jin had gone to a tavern not far away.

He chatted with the tavern owner for a while, bought half a jar of wine, and then returned to the inn.

On the surface, it seems like nothing.

In fact, there must be a problem.

Otherwise, why would you stay up late at night and buy half a jar of wine? "What's the problem with the tavern?" Qin Chi suddenly asked.

Lao Huo thought about it, but couldn't think of anything. "I don't know about this. Should I arrange for someone to check it out?"

"Go check."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away..."
