Yanzhou Prefecture, Yuzhai.

Everyone is looking at the things obtained in the Tong family's secret room.

Mu Yang and Chi Xue did not specifically select when searching, so all the documents and confidential documents were mixed together and needed to be sorted and sorted carefully.

Several account books, a roster, dozens of secret letters, three tokens with different uses and a brown sheepskin fragment, all the harvests were piled randomly on the table, Song Xi and Yu

The siblings gathered around the table to review and study these things.

The account books mainly record the properties and plundered wealth that Tong Ziliang secretly managed for the eldest prince, while the roster lists the eldest prince's secret stakes throughout Qinxi.

It turns out that the Yanzhou Guard has already become the eldest prince’s secret chess in the northwest.

The Tong brothers are responsible for collecting money for the eldest prince, wooing merchants and gentry in Yanzhou and its surrounding areas, controlling nearby trade routes, collecting intelligence from all parties, and regularly paying tribute to the eldest prince's palace.

Duan Zhenjun was responsible for training private soldiers for the eldest prince, recruiting skilled craftsmen to secretly manufacture a large number of weapons, and also monitored the major border guard generals in the northwest, waiting for opportunities to recruit them to join the eldest prince's camp, and slowly infiltrated the northwest frontier army.

achieve the purpose of control.

The eldest prince's power has been operating in Yanzhou for five years. Although he has not completely controlled the entire state capital, it is easy to do some tricks to influence the situation in the northwest.

The private camp managed by Duan Zhenjun is actually located in a deep mountain in Yanzhou. The specific location is not mentioned in the secret letter. It will take a lot of effort to find it out.

Song Xi also discovered an important piece of news in these secret letters - Duan Zhenjun's identity was different.

Tong Ziliang seemed to use this as a bargaining chip to manipulate Duan Zhenjun, and therefore did whatever he wanted in Yanzhou without restraint. He probably believed that no matter what happened, Duan Zhenjun would find ways to keep him.

"I wonder what the problem is with Duan Zhenjun's identity? There was no specific explanation in the secret letter."

Yu Yalan frowned and was confused, always feeling that this secret was a very crucial breakthrough.

Yu Hongxuan's imagination suddenly opened up, and all kinds of weird and bloody plots kept flashing through his mind.

"Is he the illegitimate son of some big shot? Or is he a spy of an enemy country? Because of the grievances of his parents' generation, he was exiled to the Zhou Dynasty? Is the drama of 'civet cat for prince' finally going to be performed in reality? Hey! I feel a little excited.

!”

Yu Yalan glanced at her stupid brother with a very speechless look, feeling a little helpless about his brain circuit that often went astray.

"Can't you make some serious guesses? And restrain those shining eyes of gossip!"

Song Xi was made dumbfounded by the siblings. She patted Yu Hongxuan's shoulder cheerfully and said, "If Brother Xuan is interested, why not take over the task of investigating the mystery of Duan Zhenjun's life experience?"

Yu Hongxuan quickly waved his hand to refuse, picked up the sheepskin fragment on the table, shook it, and said: "I am more interested in this! If I am not wrong, this should be the same as the one Yan Yidao gave us, and it belongs to the same treasure map.

I don’t know whether this relic of the previous royal family is real or fake. We are very short of money now."

Song Xi's eyes darkened when he heard this, and he sighed with regret, "I escaped too hastily that day when I ransacked my house. I couldn't bring out the money from the Marquis's house. I don't know what the emperor will do with my family's property. It would be nice to even get some back."

ah……"

Seeing the sad look on the man's face, Yu Yalan knew that he was recalling the pain of having his family exterminated.

In fact, Chixue sneaked back to the Hou Mansion later, but at that time, the Song family had already been completely confiscated. Not to mention the gold and silver treasures in the warehouse, even the valuable furnishings and ornaments in the house had been looted. Chixue

After searching the whole house, they only brought back the ancestral tablets in the ancestral hall and the Song family tree.

Yu Yalan held Song Xi's hand tightly, silently conveying a warm power to him. Although there were no unnecessary words, it could make people feel the most gentle tenderness.

Song Xi stroked the soft catkins in his hand, sinking all the sadness into his heart. His handsome face returned to its usual look, and he looked back at the worried woman with soft eyes.

Lan'er is his last love in this world. As long as she is by his side, no matter how many hardships and dangers there may be in the future, he will be strong enough to overcome everything and stay with her forever, living and dying together.

Seeing the two of them looking at each other affectionately and encouraging each other, Yu Hongxuan interjected unwillingly: "If the money is gone, just make more! Leave this aspect to us siblings! Brother Song, just concentrate on planning revenge, and work hard

Build your own power, we siblings will have to rely on you in the future!"

Song Xi nodded with a smile, "I will do my best."

…

The days that followed passed relatively uneventfully.

In order to investigate the truth behind Tong Ziliang's death, Duan Zhenjun conducted a large-scale search for bandits and thieves in Yanzhou Prefecture and its surrounding areas. As a result, the city has been under martial law for many days, and the people who did not understand the reason became panicked.

Xu Yongnian argued with him several times over this and asked Duan Zhenjun to immediately stop such disturbing behavior, otherwise he would report to the commander of Qinxi Capital and ask his superiors to control him.

Duan Zhenjun was unwilling to stop at all, and even scolded Xu Yongnian for being a guilty thief. In front of all his colleagues, he said that Tong Ziliang's death was Xu Yongnian's design.

In such a tense and special period, Song Xi lived a very leisurely life.

In order not to be noticed by the suspicious Duan Zhenjun, the operation to investigate the fall of Ganzhou was temporarily suspended. All Song family secret guards returned to the camp to train and be on standby, and they would be rearranged when the situation stabilized.

Song Xi stayed by Yu Yalan's side every day, accompanying her to the construction of Liuhe Mountain, worrying about the affairs of the Salesian Home and the Free School, and reopening the Yujiami Shop that had been closed for seven days, gradually returning to normal life in the past.

Any hard work Song Xi would take the initiative to do for her, and if there were any abnormal situations, Song Xi would step forward and block the situation, not letting Yu Yalan suffer any fatigue at all, let alone face any danger.

Although he was very confident that his disguised identity would not be discovered by Duan Zhenjun, he still had to hide carefully in the face of such an intensive search. Song Xi was afraid that a mistake would not protect his fiancée, and the tragedy of the Hou Mansion would happen again.

When Yu Hongxuan saw him clinging to his sister, he couldn't help but laugh at him for being too timid. However, he was beaten to death by his sister several times, and was even dragged into martial arts training by Dao Hong and Jiandong.

The sunny Second Young Master Song continued to wear a harmless smile, clinging to Yu Yalan's side to enjoy the tenderness of the gentle country, while protecting the safety of his fiancée.
