Chapter 439 Cannon fodder in the struggle for imperial power (8)

Kyoto, the imperial city.

The Holy Yuan Emperor Xiao Xianchi was sitting in front of the Dragon Case. The eunuch in charge next to him fiddled with the wick for the third time. The candle flickered and the light became a little brighter.

He raised his head, moved his neck, picked up the tea bowl at hand, and took a few sips.

"What time is it?"

The hourglass by the window was just halfway through. The eunuch took one look at it and quickly bowed and replied, "It's almost half past midnight."

He hesitated for a moment and then reminded: "Your Majesty, please rest."

Xiao Xianchi gave a soft "hmm" and stood up and walked to the inner room. As he walked, he ordered, "Let Concubine Wan prepare breakfast tomorrow morning. I will go and eat with her."

The father-in-law in charge quickly responded and stepped forward to undress Xiao Xianchi.

After waiting for the emperor to fall asleep, he bowed his body and bowed out, arranged for another chamberlain to keep watch, and went to his residence alone.

"Master, why did Your Majesty think of Concubine Wan again? Didn't you mean..."

He closed his mouth angrily mid-sentence, not daring to continue.

"Xiang Lin, you must remember that the most taboo thing in this palace is talking too much, otherwise sooner or later your life will depend on this mouth!"

Xiang Lin nodded and bowed quickly, served him even more attentively, and completely remembered these words.

……

After staying in Gyeonggi Province for three days, the horseman couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to drive away in the middle of the night.

But who would have thought that as soon as he hitched the carriage, he was held down.

Si Jin was woken up in a daze, put on a cloak and went out. He saw the thoughtful groom tied up in the woodshed.

The boy at the inn said flatteringly: "Miss, may I ask if you want to be sent to the official position?"

Si Jin covered his mouth and yawned, and said in a calm tone, "Well, I'll send you off to the official office tomorrow morning."

Xiao Tao handed over a purse, and the boy caught it, weighed it, and immediately beamed with joy.

"If you have the order, then don't disturb the young lady's rest. I will send this thief to the Yamen tomorrow morning."

"Thank you, little brother." Si Jin thanked him politely, which was a blessing to him.

The boy didn't dare to accept her gift. He quickly turned aside and said, "No, no, no."

He was still very sleepy at first, but when he returned to the room, Si Jin couldn't sleep.

Xiao Tao was still cursing, "I thought he was a good guy at first, but he turned out to be a thief! If he betrays his master, he should be beaten dozens of times by the big boss to make him dare not do this again. That’s what’s wrong!”

"Well, our little peach is absolutely right. Why don't you, little peach, go with that young man tomorrow? So that you can see with your own eyes what will happen to that evil-hearted person?"

Xiaotao knew that she was being teased by the young lady, so she stomped her feet angrily, "Miss, do you still have time to tease me? What should we do now?"

The master and his wife were missing, and everyone else was dead. Three days later, even the body was picked up by wild beasts.

She touched her purse, pressed her chest, and finally took off her repair shoes uneasily and dug under the insole.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of money for the time being, so I won't have to pay for the trip to Kyoto.

Si Jin watched her fussing in amusement, but still explained a few words to her.

"Isn't this a good thing? If you find someone who is having an affair early, you will save more trouble later."

Xiao Tao thought about it and felt that what her young lady said made sense, but the worry on her eyebrows did not diminish.

Si Jin had no choice but to put it more bluntly, "It's not a bad thing to think about it. The local post station will send people to the Yamen, and we can also use it to meet the governor together."

Xiao Tao's eyes lit up, and she instantly felt that betrayal by the groom was not such a bad thing.

"That's OK! I'll go with you tomorrow morning. It will just explain the identity of our master so that the governor can send troops to look for him."

……

"What? Miss Song said your father is Song Renhuai? Is he the incoming left minister of the Ministry of Industry?"

Si Jin was standing in the hall wearing a goose-yellow double-breasted coat, nodding slowly and slowly, his eyes were slightly red, and his voice was choked and sad.

"My father went to Beijing to take up his post and disappeared in Wangjing Ridge the day before yesterday. All his servants died in the forest..."

She burst into tears when she said this, and when she raised her head again, her expression was full of tenderness, "My stepmother has been pitiful since she was a child and grew up in a marquis mansion. She has a delicate body and cannot withstand the wind and frost. I hope the governor can send troops to look for her."

Governor Zhong's palms felt cold, a thin layer of sweat crawled from his waist to the back of his neck, and his face looked ugly.

He hurriedly sent Si Jin a few words and told the officers and soldiers to take him back to the post station to entertain him.

After leaving the governor's house and sitting in the sedan chair, Xiao Tao finally showed a happy face and couldn't help but said: "Now, with the help of Governor Zhong, I believe that the master and his wife will be back soon, and then the girl will not have to suffer anymore. "

Si Jin was silent.

She felt that the maid Xiaotao was too innocent!

Simple and even a little...stupid.

Zhong has been serving as the governor of Gyeonggi Province for many years. Doesn't he know that there are bandits in Wangjing Ridge?

This girl Xiaotao has experienced too few things...

How obvious that these officers and soldiers who followed were guarding them all!

Shaking her head, she leaned the back of her head on the soft sedan, closed her eyes and rested for a moment.

When they arrived at the post house, the officers and soldiers first went to explain to the postmaster, and then came over to talk to Si Jin.

"Master Zhong realized that the matter was not as simple as ordinary robbers. He asked me to wait at the post house to protect Miss Song's safety. Miss Song should not go out for a walk in the past two days. If anything happens, just ask me to wait."

After saying that, the four officers and soldiers sat down in the lobby with no intention of leaving.

Xiao Tao didn't notice anything strange and happily helped Si Jin to the room.

"It's settled now. I no longer have to worry about Miss's safety. I can sleep well at night."

Si Jin: "..."

Maybe...she should have sent Xiao Tao to the mountain as soon as possible, so as not to lead a girl with such a brain all day long, which would lead to bad things sooner or later.

That night, Si Jin sent a message to Shen Yao, asking him to send someone to pretend to be a robber and take her and Xiao Tao to the mountain.

Shen Yao: "..."

After these days of intensive training, Langya Village has organized a strong team of 800 people. They are all masters of both internal and external martial arts. They are all equal to ten.

Shen Yao randomly selected three people to go with him and quickly arrived at the capital of Gyeonggi Province.

The four of them moved separately during the day, purchasing some supplies needed on the mountain, and waited until it was completely dark before starting to take action.

Two people were responsible for attracting some officers and soldiers sent by the governor's office, and the other two were responsible for kidnapping people.

When the burly man pushed open the door and entered, Xiao Tao was so frightened that her face turned pale.

Shivering, he stood in front of Si Jin, with a look of loyalty as if he was ready to die.

She's always like this.

Because of this, neither the original owner nor Si Jin had the heart to abandon this little fool.

The burly man rushed forward in two steps and slashed with the knife. Xiao Tao fainted in Si Jin's arms and slept peacefully.

The big man raised his hand again and met Si Jin's eyes. The atmosphere was anxious for a moment.

Fortunately, Shen Yao, who arrived a little later, stopped the big man from committing suicide in time.

"Stop! One of our own!"

If they were one step later, they might have to drag an eight-foot tall man back.
