Things are obviously not going according to plan.
In the military camp, Zhao Shoubei saw Qi Heng who was unconscious.
He had thought about capturing this core figure of the Qi family and even ambushed him in the grassland, intending to kill him secretly.
But Qi Heng was too suspicious and it was difficult to control the route. If the Zhenbei Army failed, there would be chaos.
And now he's like a dead dog lying on the ground, at the mercy of others.
Zhao Shoubei then looked at the others on the ground. Old Yu pointed at two of them and said, "My lord, these two are from the Di tribe. They look the same as described in the intelligence."
Zhao Tinglei's eyes lit up: "Is Mr. Yu sure?"
The gray-robed old man affirmed, "Originally, if the Third Young Master had brought back accurate information, he would have been able to find important evidence regarding the Qi family's slave trade.
Now with these people brought by Miss Song, if we can get the confession that the lord wants, the matter is basically half done! "
Zhao Tinglei excitedly slammed the table: "Okay, bring that... Miss Song, right?
Call Miss Song over here. I want to thank her profusely and will give her a pass and a reward of 1,000 taels of silver!"
Elder Yu coughed lightly and lowered his eyes: "My Lord, I'm afraid that Miss Song doesn't want to see you!"
He had already inquired carefully. Miss Song had handed in a visiting card yesterday, but the people in the backyard said, "The garrison commander has left the yamen and won't see you!" There was not even a reply.
After hearing this, Mr. Yu was so angry that he stamped his feet several times.
Those who serve the lord are confused. Miss Song always meets the lord at night, so there must be something important.
Not to mention that Lin Qingyuan is here, Miss Song should be treated with courtesy just because she is the third young master's fiancée.
However, now that Miss Song has brought the person the lord needs most to his doorstep, the lord seems to still not understand the seriousness of the matter.
This Miss Song is his military household brother's wife, and she is also the "noblewoman of the Di tribe" who lured Qi Heng into captivity in Hecheng. Now she wants to reward him with silver!
Seeing that Old Yu's expression was obviously not right, Zhao Shoubei, who was still in high spirits, finally realized: "Old Yu, this Miss Song you are talking about..."
"This Miss Song is the Third Young Master's fiancée!"
Old Yu hit the nail on the head and said, "Last night, Miss Song came to the door and asked to see the master. Why didn't the master see her?"
"When did it happen?" Zhao Tinglei looked confused.
At this time, Song Liyun was sitting in the military camp, still dressed as a noble lady of the Di tribe, drinking fresh milk tea.
Song Dekui looked back and forth at the door several times, and asked anxiously, "I wonder if Abu and Lin Shazi have escaped yet?"
Before the two of them escaped from the city, it was already in chaos, and they didn't know what the situation in the city would be like after they discovered that Qi Heng was missing.
Song Liyun was also a little worried, even though Fang Zheng had already brought people to rescue them.
It takes three people to deal with that large group.
Two fists can't beat four hands, and there's also a powerless burden, Lin Qingyuan...
Song Liyun sighed when she thought about it. If Zhao Tinglei had cooperated with her earlier, she wouldn't have to take such a big risk.
Thinking this in his heart, he naturally lost his temper: "The famous Captain Zhao is no more than this!"
"presumptuous!"
There was a loud shout outside the room, which frightened Song Dekui, who was just turning around to talk to Song Liyun, and he shivered.
Even Song Liyun almost dropped her tea bowl.
Song Liyun looked up and saw a middle-aged general striding towards her.
Behind him followed Fang Zheng, Guo Tong, and several military generals who looked very prestigious.
Song Liyun put down the tea bowl and stood up.
Zhao Tinglei came in with a displeased look on his face.
He was originally expecting to see a dashing female general, but what he saw was an ordinary woman who was leaning over, drinking milk tea and complaining.
"Last night, a bad guy appeared in the city. Miss Song was able to capture him and made a great contribution. I always reward people according to their merits. Now I will reward you with five hundred taels!" Zhao Tinglei said with a dark face, without the slightest smile.
Seeing that the matter was to be handled impartially, Song Liyun did not refuse: "Thank you for the reward, Lord Garrison. Serving the court is the duty of every citizen!"
She was so frank that Zhao Tinglei was speechless for a moment.
In his opinion, if he wanted to reward her with silver, Song Liyun would just say something polite like "We're family, you're welcome!"
I would like to take this opportunity to explain what happened last night.
But now Song Liyun directly accepted the money without mentioning a word about the greeting card, which was even more straightforward than him, a soldier.
The conversation was awkward for a moment, then Zhao Tinglei stood up and walked out, but stopped short when he passed Song Liyun. "You're great! Very good! Very good! But smart people should do smart things and not be too clever!"
After saying this, he left like a gust of wind, taking the group of confused officials with him.
Song Dekui stared at those people as they walked away, and it took him a long time to react: "That man is Ah Shi's elder brother, the general of the Zhenbei Army, and the garrison commander of Hecheng?
Why are you so bad tempered!
Xiaoyun, luckily Ah Shi Zhang has a good appearance. If he were a dark-faced man like this...tsk tsk tsk, I would advise you not to agree to this marriage..."
“Cough cough cough!”
Just as he was talking nonsense, someone coughed outside the door again. Fortunately, it was not a word like "outrageous", which only made Song Dekui turn around suddenly.
Song Liyun pursed her lips and sighed: The military camp is really not a place where you can have a good chat, someone always suddenly appears.
An old man in gray brought Fang Zheng in. Fang Zheng was holding a tray with ten ingots of shiny silver on it.
The old man chuckled at first: "What this young man said is true. My general has a dark complexion. He defends his country with his ten-foot-long spear. He has been through a lot, so naturally he is not as handsome as the third young master."
Song Dekui was not afraid of being overheard and would be embarrassed. He laughed and said to himself, "Everyone knows that Captain Lei's Lei Camp is a 100% victorious division. I just said a few nonsense words. Don't take it to heart, old man."
Old Yu stroked his beard and smiled, saying no more about the question. He simply pushed the silver over and said, "The general mentioned the reward money. Little brother, please accept it on behalf of Miss Song!"
Song Dekui was dissatisfied with Zhao Tinglei's attitude just now, but his eyes lit up at this moment.
Although the black-faced general was not liked by everyone, everyone liked the silver.
After he joyfully took the silver from Fang Zheng, Old Yu bowed to Song Liyun and said, "Miss Song, I am Yu Guang, a clerk in the Garrison Office. I admire your righteousness!"
But I still have many questions, I wonder if the young lady can answer them for me?"
This is the questioning on behalf of Zhao Tinglei!
Elder Yu was so modest that Song Liyun naturally responded politely: "Please take a seat, Elder Yu. I am only trying to do my bit for the people of this city. It's nothing to be proud of! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!"
What she wanted was to make things clear and remove Lin Qingyuan from the Lin family's conflicts, otherwise she would not have sent the visiting card in the evening.
So, in the friendly and harmonious atmosphere of question and answer between the two, Song Liyun talked about the relationship between Lin Qingyuan and the Lin family, the relationship between Lin Qingyuan and Zhao Tingduo, the reason why the Qi family wanted to deal with the Lin family now, and that Lin Qingyuan knew some evidence of the Qi family's human trafficking. However, she was vague about how she caught Qi Heng.
Old Yu frowned when he heard this. He didn't care about arresting Qi Heng, he only wanted to hear that the Qi family was trafficking in people.
This is what they are racking their brains to know, but they didn’t expect it to be so readily available now!
Thinking of Lin Qingyuan and the other two who were still imprisoned in the garrison, Old Yu could no longer sit still.
There are some things that you still need to ask Lin Qingyuan in person to know.
