Chapter 261 Someone is eyeing Song Jin

Old man Hong was a little surprised that the emperor actually let the Jinyiwei intervene instead of handing it over to the Jingzhao Prefecture or the Dali Temple.

The Embroidered Uniform Guard was an agency directly under the emperor.

Only obey the emperor's orders.

The main functions include reconnaissance, arrest, interrogation, etc., and they also participate in tasks such as collecting military intelligence and inciting enemy generals to defect. Since the Jinyiwei directly obeys the emperor himself, they have great power in this dynasty and can carry out their tasks unimpeded.

There are positions such as commander-in-chief, deputy commander, and assistant commander.

Basically, they were the emperor's confidants.

They are like a knife in the emperor's hand and also a knife hanging over the heads of every official in the court.

Song Jin asked people to pay attention to the developments outside.

He stared at the palace gate again.

Song Jin was getting very frustrated waiting, "Didn't they say there would be a parade of the top scorers after the palace exam?"

“There may be a slight delay today.”

Qin Qi suspected that it might be related to the young master's lawsuit against Minister Yuan.

After the palace examination, the new number one scholar would be required to parade through the streets to praise his official position, which is a traditional ritual in the imperial examination system.

Parading and praising officials is also called parading and praising officials in the imperial streets.

It is a ceremony held when scholars pass the imperial examination or when officials are promoted.

After being selected in the palace examination, the new number one scholar would wear a red robe, put a palace flower in his hat, ride a tall horse, and parade on the Imperial Street of the Imperial City to receive congratulations from the people.

During the specific parade, the top scholar will ride a horse, with drums and music leading the way in front and guards following behind. The whole parade team is very majestic.

Qin Qi saw that Song Jin still had no intention of going out, "Madam, aren't you going to watch the young master's parade?"

"Your master asked me to wait for him at home."

Song Jin didn't know why Qin Chi made such arrangements.

Qin Qi was also confused. "Maybe he is worried about the safety of his wife. Every time the top scholar parades, there are always a lot of people watching. It is also the day when accidents are most likely to happen. Either children are lost or people are trampled. "

At that time, it could be said to be a grand event that happened once every three years in the capital.

The streets will be crowded with people.

Many officers and soldiers were dispatched to maintain order. When they encountered some emotionally excited girls who threw down various handkerchiefs, purses, sachets, etc., some people tried to pick up those things, causing chaos from time to time.

"The last champion passed by Zuixian Restaurant during the parade. A girl on the second floor thought the handkerchief was too light to throw, so she stuffed the jade pendant into her purse and threw it to the new champion. Guess what happened? The champion was hit and his head was covered in blood."

Qin Qi carefully told Song Jin some of the things he had heard from others, and paid close attention to Song Jin's reaction.

"There is such a thing?" Song Jin's interest was piqued.

Qin Qi asked again: "Madam, are you worried about the young master?"

"He's a married man, which girl would throw things at him?"

Song Jin didn't take it to heart. "Qin Qi'an's name is very famous in the capital. It's no exaggeration to say that he is a household name. The news of his marriage has been spread a long time ago. Otherwise, with your good looks, I don't know how many bees and butterflies he would attract."

Qin Chi is famous not only for his talent.

And then there's his body.

Ordinary people don’t know, but families with a little power all know that he has been sickly since childhood and will not live long.

Which good family would hook up their daughter with him? Song Jin naturally didn't say the latter point.

Song Jin didn't go out, so other people in the family didn't dare to go to see him, after all, the lady of the house didn't go out.

Are they brave enough to go? When the two were chatting, there were people watching nearby.

There was a group of people who were becoming more and more impatient as they waited.

"The parade has already begun, why hasn't she come out yet? Her husband has won the first place in the imperial examination, and there is such a big happy event as a parade, but she didn't come out to take a look. Is there something wrong with this woman?"

A tall, thin man was cursing.

The other leading man frowned: "Is this news accurate? Could it be that the person has already left the house?"

"We have people along every route."

"That person is at home?"

Everything was ready. As long as Song Jin showed up, they could kidnap her, take her to a dark place and destroy her innocence. According to their master's order, they had to teach the new champion a bloody lesson.

A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger.

He thought he could destroy the Yuan family by filing a complaint.

You really don't know your own limitations.

Someone else said sinisterly: "Why not just break into his house and kidnap him or just kill him..."

Some of them were not happy, "You want to die but I don't."

The leading man said, "The city is on alert, and the number of patrolling officers and soldiers has doubled. If you make a big noise, you'll be caught. Hanzi, go check it out, and be careful."

So it didn't take long.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

A peddler came to Song Jin's house with a load on his shoulder and sold his goods. He passed by Song Jin's house from time to time and saw that the door of Kang's house was open, and Kang Qiaomei just came out.

The peddler came forward with a flattering smile and asked for some water to drink.

As soon as Kang Qiaomei saw the foreign man, her face immediately turned red and she turned around and went home.

"Qiaomei, why are you so flustered?"

Aunt Kang's voice came from inside.

Kang Qiaomei said, "Mom, there is a man outside who wants to ask for water. I, I have never seen him."

Aunt Kang came out in a new dress, looking like she was going out. When she heard Qiaomei's words and walked out, she saw the peddler, "Who are you?"

"Auntie, I'm a peddler. I'm carrying things here to ask for water to drink. I'm sorry for scaring your daughter. It's my fault." The peddler was played by the fool in the group.

Talk to Aunt Kang.

Give Aunt Kang some more gifts.

While drinking water, they talked about the top scholar, and naturally mentioned the Song Jin family next door.

Hanzi asked with a smile: "The door of the champion's house is closed, are they all out to watch the parade?"

"No. Madam Qin is not feeling well and said she can't go. Oh, I won't talk to you anymore. I also have to hurry to the street corner to watch the number one scholar parade." Aunt Kang turned around and called her daughter.

Wait for Kang Qiaomei to come out.

The mother and son hurried to the street to watch the excitement.

At this time, most of the neighbors rushed to watch the fun, leaving the alley empty.

It’s so quiet that it’s scary.

Hanzi learned about the situation and was about to pick up the goods and leave.

When he was carrying things and passing by the door of Song Jin's house, he was suddenly hit hard on the back of his head. The severe pain made his eyes go black and he fell down.

Someone from behind supported him in time.

The door next to the Song family creaked open. Then, the secret guard dragged Hanzi into the house next door like a dead dog.

This person is Qin Chi’s secret guard.

Then another person came out.

Bring all the load of goods into the house.

The door slammed shut, and the alley returned to peace. Old Man Hong learned that just as Qin Chi had expected, someone had evil intentions towards Song Jin.

He immediately arranged for someone to investigate.

This investigation did reveal some problems.

That group of people were all running dogs of the Yuan family. They were bandits outside the city. This time they sneaked into the city and their target was Song Jin.
