Chapter 404: One wave has not yet subsided, another wave has risen

Qin Mansion.

Song Jin sat on the chair.

Watching Sanlang playing with Niu Niu and Guai Guai.

"Sister-in-law, what happened at home? Why doesn't my brother allow me to go out again?" Sanlang was at the pharmacy, and Qin Chi sent someone to call him back.

Song Jin thought of a problem, "It's a mess outside, I'm afraid you've become someone's target. Two guards who went to deliver food to your eldest brother were killed today."

Saburo's eyes widened, "Who did it?"

"I don't know. I think your elder brother has already reported it to the police." Song Jin knew that in this kind of murder case, Qin Chi would most likely report it to the police for handling. They didn't know that Qin Chi had gotten into trouble in the government office again. If they knew, they would not sit still.

Qin Chi was assassinated outside.

Many times she would not go home and tell Song Jin, so as to prevent her from being worried every day. It was only because Mu Ting had a source of information that she would let Song Jin know.

Song Jin knew that Qin Chi was in danger, so he tried to stay at home as much as possible and not cause trouble for him.

Sanlang said again: "Brother asked me to return home, isn't it because of this matter?"

"He's worried about your safety."

Song Jin was afraid that Sanlang didn't understand what he said, so he added a few more words, "It's hard for your brother to live a peaceful life in the officialdom. Sometimes he offends some people unknowingly. In order not to cause trouble for him, I rarely go out. He asked you not to go out because he was worried that your enemies would kill you or capture you to threaten him."

"The capital is so scary."

Saburo shuddered.

But if you are afraid, then you are afraid. Why are your eyes shining? Song Jin looked at him seriously.

Until Sanlang repeatedly assured him that he would not go out without his eldest brother's permission.

I played with Niu Niu for a long time.

Sanlang sat on the chair next to Song Jin and poured tea for her in a flattering manner. "Sister-in-law, when I came back, I heard a rumor outside that my elder brother was so ruthless that he actually knocked out a delicate beauty and put her in the prison of the Ministry of Justice? I almost argued with him, but he was so confident that I was at a loss."

"It's true." Song Jin picked up the tea and took a sip.

Sanlang was dumbfounded. "How is it possible? I don't believe it. My elder brother is a gentleman. He would never do such a thing. It must be that woman's fault."

Song Jin smiled softly, "Yes, you are right, it's the woman's problem."

San Lang finally breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest, saying, "It's okay."

Then, he asked excitedly, "What happened? Sister-in-law, tell me about it."

"Niuniu knows."

A clear and tender little voice sounded.

The little girl with two buns on her head was looking at Sanlang with her big eyes, "Uncle San, Niuniu knows that the girl is a bad girl. She is here to steal your father from you!"

"puff--"

Song Jin almost choked on his tea.

Seeing Sanlang's eyes full of gossip, Song Jin quickly explained: "Don't listen to the child, she is still young and doesn't understand these things. Miss Zhang was sent to the Ministry of Justice's prison because the Zhang family committed a crime and His Majesty ordered a confiscation of their family."

Saburo's jaw dropped.

Niu Niu touched her little chin, her face full of confusion.

Mu Ting came again at this time, looking unhappy, and whispered in Song Jin's ear: "Boss, I just received news that something happened in the Ministry of Works. It was said that someone poisoned Lord Qin."

"What?" Song Jin was surprised.

Mu Ting hurriedly said, "Master Qin is fine. He didn't drink the poisoned tea."

Song Jin's heart was beating wildly with fear.

It's really one thing after another, things come one after another. There are so many annoying things today. If Qin Chi goes to the yamen to be on duty, he might fall into the trap of the other party if he is not careful.

Under normal circumstances, upset people are indeed prone to careless behavior.

Fortunately, Qin Chi has a strong mentality.

Sanlang was sitting nearby and vaguely heard Mu Ting's words. At this time, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

He had heard before that Qin Chi was in a dangerous situation and had many enemies, but he didn't have such a direct feeling. He had been here for so long but had never faced it directly. In fact, he felt that it was more dangerous to be with Song Jin. After all, he was terrified all the way to Beijing with Song Jin.

Fortunately, Song Jin seldom goes out.

Sanlang has been in the capital for such a long time, but he actually has not had much time to spend with Qin Chi. Qin Chi is either in the government office or very busy.

That day, Qin Chi came home late again.

When night fell, he returned in the moonlight.

Song Jin was waiting for him at home.

After Qin Chi washed his face with warm water and wiped his hands, Song Jin brought him some tea for him to rinse his mouth, and then asked the kitchen to serve Qin Chi's meal for the night.

Had dinner with Qin Chi.

Song Jin brought out some nourishing medicine.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Qin Chi swallowed the bitter medicine without changing his expression, put down the empty medicine bowl, and then he sighed slightly: "My wife, go to bed early. I have to go to the study to deal with some things later."

"Don't you have anything to say to me?" Song Jin thought that he would talk to her about the poisoning in the government office when he came back.

Qin Chi pursed his lips and put his arm around her shoulders, "Don't worry, I cherish my life more than anyone else."

It's just the environment that forces me.

At this time, there was someone waiting outside the door.

Qin Chi got up and went to the study.

No one knows who he met tonight.

Late at night, the Qin family received a message from a carrier pigeon. Old Man Hong hurried to the study and said solemnly, "Sir, the people sent to rescue Song Kuan have failed."

Hearing this, Qin Chi was writing furiously.

Upon hearing the news, the tip of the pen was suddenly pressed down hard, the ink spread, and what had just been written was wasted, and he had to write it all over again.

Qin Chi didn't expect the news to be so bad.

He had originally thought of telling Song Jin about this after rescuing the people, but now it was even harder to say more. "How many people did we lose?"

"Seventeen people were killed."

Old man Hong reported with a serious face.

Qin Chi's heart sank instantly, "So it's time for people to go to Beijing."

"I don't know. The news is that he has lost his trace."

"Lost?"

This made it impossible for Qin Chi to rescue him a second time.

By the time he finds any clues about the other party, the person might have already reached the capital, and it would be even more difficult to rescue him.

Qin Chi looked at Old Man Hong and ordered, "Let those who know about this matter keep it secret and don't let the news reach Madam's ears."

"Okay, sir."

Old Man Hong knew that he had to keep it secret from Song Jin.

The Crown Prince was so powerful that even Qin Chi himself didn't dare to confront him head-on, let alone the mob under Song Jin's command?

Qin Chi took another piece of white paper and began to write the letter stroke by stroke. While writing, he said coldly: "Uncle Hong, someone in Huizhou attacked my parents. Fortunately, I arranged for someone to protect them and did not let them succeed. I am a little worried about my uncle. If something happens to my uncle and the news spreads to the northwest..."

Old man Hong was frightened.

This was a huge blow to the prince.
