Chapter 262 People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong.
In the house next door.
Old Man Hong''s aura was so powerful that the people reporting in front of him didn''t dare to raise their heads: "Is it true that someone has an idea for Madam?"
"Yes, there is more than one group." The man was sure.
Old Man Hong said: "Can you find out the origin?"
"One group is the bandits raised by the Yuan family, and the other group is very hidden and has not been found out yet. When they found that someone was targeting them, this group quickly withdrew."
"This is unreasonable. It''s too much to deceive others."
Old Man Hong hadn''t been angry for a long time. "Ignore the group of people who are evacuating for now. We will seize the bandits hiding in the dark alley and wait for the young master to come back before making a decision."
"yes."
The secret guard retreated quickly.
Not long after, Qin Chi was in his study.
Song Jin was sitting at his desk writing a letter home.
After hearing Old Man Hong''s report, Song Jin''s face darkened again, "The Yuan family is not angry at what my husband did, but they want to teach him a lesson. Why don''t you dare to deal with him and come after me, a weak woman?"
"Yes."
Old Man Hong responded.
Almost at the same time.
In the dark alley where the bandits were hiding, a fierce battle was taking place. The secret guards sent by Old Man Hong are all good players, and they are not ordinary bandits who can resist them.
The only one who is capable of fighting is the leading man.
The secret guards did not hold back, and those who resisted were killed.
It only took less than half an hour.
This battle has a result.
Three of the bandits died, and the rest were all captured. All they had to do was wait for Qin Chi to come back and ask for instructions before dealing with them.
Old Man Hong said thankfully: "Fortunately, Madam didn''t go out."
Someone wanted to take advantage of the time when Song Jin went out to watch the No. 1 Scholar Parade, because there would be a huge crowd of people at that time, which was the most suitable time to take action.
Plunder people into deserted alleys.
Whether it was destroying Song Jin''s innocence or killing him, it was a huge blow to Qin Chi.
Afterwards, wait for others to find out.
This group of murderers had long since escaped.
This plan was originally a good one, and the people behind the plan also felt that it was a sure thing. After all, a top scholar''s wife had no power behind her, so sending so many people to deal with her was a way of giving Qin Chi face. It''s a pity that despite all their calculations, they just couldn''t figure out whether Song Jin would go out.
Is this reasonable?
It''s simply unreasonable!
Even the bandit leader who was captured was confused.
In all these years, there has never been a woman who did not go out to watch her husband parade around the streets when he won the first prize.
Therefore, before he died, the bandit was struggling with this issue and loudly asked the secret guard: "Then why doesn''t the woman go to the parade? Didn''t it mean that they had a good relationship as a couple? This is not bad..."
This is a lie!
It''s not just this group of thieves.
Even some of the secret guards were surprised.
"Did Madam receive the news in advance?" A secret guard whispered.
The secret guard next to him kicked the thief, "Mr. Hong has not received any news. Madam, is it possible?"
Song Jin''s connections in the capital.
Compared to Mr. Hong, he is a world away.
The secret guard was even more surprised, "Then, does the madam not care about the young master?"
"You want to die? If you want to die, don''t get involved with me."
Some of the secret guards knew that the young master wanted his wife.
The wife is not sure about the young master. From the fact that the wife has never thought about leaving to do business in other places, it is not clear how much she attaches importance to the young master.
Qin Qi came over and happened to hear it, and reprimanded in a low voice: "What nonsense are you talking about? It was the young master who told his wife in advance not to go out today."
"I see, the young master has foresight."
The secret guard stopped guessing now. They are secret guards and are very strict with outsiders.
When secret guards gather together in private, their scruples are not that big.
According to Old Man Hong, these secret guards are unqualified. If they had not followed Qin Chi early and were already Qin Chi''s people, Old Man Hong might have returned them to the secret guard camp one by one.
But it cannot be denied.
Everyone was glad that Song Jin didn''t join in the fun.
Song Jin must be willing to listen to Qin Chi''s request. On a day like this, if it were another woman, she would probably have gone against the rules. After all, it was only once in a lifetime when her husband won the first prize in the exam, beat horses and paraded in the streets, and enjoyed endless glory.
It''s hard not to look at it.
Song Jin actually wanted to take a look.
But it’s more about reason and restraint than the desire to see.
Inside the study.
The conversation between Old Man Hong and Song Jin continued.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Song Jin calmly analyzed: "Isn''t the city under martial law? It''s so easy for bandits to sneak into the city, and 80% of them are covered by someone. There is another point, I am somewhat suspicious."
"Madam, please speak." Old Man Hong respected Song Jin very much.
Song Jin truthfully stated what he was thinking: "It was too easy for you to check. You knew it was the Yuan family so quickly."
"Madam, do you suspect it was not the Yuan family?"
Old Man Hong thought about the possibilities.
Song Jin said at this time: "The Yuan family is currently being monitored by the Jin Yiwei. It is unlikely that they will take action against me in such a hurry. If you really want to teach me a lesson, you have to wait for some time, at least when outsiders are not paying so much attention."
The big reason is Jin Yiwei.
Under the eyes of Jin Yiwei, Yuan Shangshu has been in a high position for many years, and it is impossible for him to make such a low-level mistake.
Old Man Hong pondered the explanation, "Young master is suing the Yuan family this time. It involves more than just the Yuan family."
"You always refer to the forces involved behind Yuan Shangshu?" Song Jinjing reminded him and immediately thought of this, "But there is someone behind the scenes who wants to take action against me, but they want to blame the Yuan family?"
Why is this kind of operation so confusing?
Old Man Hong thought more than Song Jin, "If Yuan Shangshu is unlucky, officials of all sizes who are involved with him may also be liquidated. Officials'' corruption is never limited to one family. Many times, it is not these people who want to protect themselves. Yuan Shangshu had to protect him."
"Is it necessary to attack me to protect him?"
The more Song Jin listened, the more confused he became, "No matter how I look at it, I feel that it''s not Bao Yuan Shangshu, but someone who wants to add insult to injury."
Or maybe that group is very confident.
I thought that today''s matter was 100% certain.
"Does Madam have any enemies?" Old Man Hong suddenly asked.
Song Jin was stunned when he heard this, "Uncle Hong must be very clear about my situation. Will the Liu family choose to attack me today?"
"Jianning Liu family? This is unlikely."
Old Man Hong is more inclined to do what a powerful person in the capital did.
Qin Chi has the title of Liu Yuan, which is equivalent to having an extra life-saving talisman. The emperor must be paying a lot of attention to him, and touching him at this time is undoubtedly provoking the emperor.
The number one scholar from a poor family is really weak in the eyes of a powerful family.
Qin Chi can''t be moved for a while, so he gives a **** warning first, which is a common trick used by some powerful people.
In the past, Old Man Hong was the head of the secret guard of Prince Rui''s Mansion, so he had some understanding of the behavior of powerful people.
No clue who did it.
Old Man Hong expressed this suspicion.
Song Jin finally realized his dangerous situation.
Old Man Hong saw Song Jin''s solemn expression and said, "Madam, don''t worry, the young master will protect you."
"I''m not worried, just sad."
Song Jin put away the family letters on the desk and said in a faint voice, "It was only at this moment that I realized that the reputation of the Number One Scholar''s wife is not that good. As the saying goes, people are afraid of fame and pigs are afraid of being strong."
