Chapter 110
It's not that Xue Yu really has nothing to do.

After dinner, Xue Yu resigned from Shen Qingling, and went out with Di Yun. According to what he said when he left, it was the Shangfu Yamen who discussed matters with Ren Bingyi about Yan Gang.

Although Shen Qingling didn't know why he had to report to herself, she didn't say anything, just nodded, and sat down to drink the soup.

When Shao Cong came back, the moon had already passed, and it was almost time for Shen Qingling to rest.Not knowing what happened, Shao Cong trotted all the way into Shen Qingling's yard, and knocked on the door.

"Second Lady is taking a break. If Shao Erlang has something to do, let's talk about it tomorrow." Yingxiu, who was resting in the ear room, was woken up, rubbed her eyes and poked her head out, and said to Shao Cong.

When she saw Shao Cong's appearance clearly, she was startled, hurriedly put on her coat and came out, and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why are you so wet and your face is so pale?"

"My brother..." Shao Cong seemed to have been stimulated by something, his throat rolled several times, and he only uttered two words.

Shen Qingling who heard the movement changed her clothes and opened the door.

Seeing that Shao Cong was out of his mind and couldn't utter a word for a long time, Shen Qingling simply held the lamp and led him to the front yard, then woke up Ping Niang and asked her to cook a bowl of hot porridge to warm Shao Cong's body .

Shao Cong is not a timid person, so he must have encountered some shocking changes in his current appearance.

"Talk slowly, don't worry." Shen Qingling poured a cup of tea and put it in Shao Cong's cold hands, and said in a warm voice: "You are looking for shops during the day, Yangzhou City is very safe now, you can't think of any problems , but met someone from Bianjing?"

After removing the few Khitan spies in Yangzhou, the city of Yangzhou became a bit cleaner. All major and minor matters were under the watchful eyes of Ren Bingyi.

It is precisely because she knows this point that Shen Qingling directly points the topic at Bianjing.

"Yes." The hot tea poured into his throat, warming Shao Cong's body, and he finally recovered a little bit of energy, "It's the secret letter. They don't know why, they are sure that the secret letter is in our hands, and they came to Yangzhou The eldest brother didn't want to involve the second lady, so he left me alone and led him out of the city. When I found out and arrived, there was only a pool of blood and a short sword left on the ground."

Shao never knew who the blood belonged to, but the broken sword clearly belonged to the eldest brother!

"Exhale."

"Exhale."

Shen Qingling patted Shao Cong on the shoulder, guiding him to adjust his emotions, and after watching his breathing slow down, he comforted him: "Those people want trust, not your life, so elder brother must be safe now, the right to decide In our hands."

Shao raised his head blankly.

"We still have time now. You first tell me the place where you met those people and the situation at that time." Shen Qingling motioned Yingxiu to bring a pen and paper over, and continued to say to Shao Cong: "Although Yangzhou City It’s big, but if a few foreigners come in, they will still be noticed.”

Otherwise, how did Shen Qingling know about those nuns coming in?It's not relying on the contacts accumulated by Yuxiang when he was walking around the streets before, and the beggars and refugees who were helped after the development of Huai'an Pavilion.

Speaking of this matter, Uncle Fu and Ping Niang agreed very much from the beginning, thinking that this was doing good deeds, so they worked enthusiastically, and the porridge sent on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year was even better than the ones sold in the city.

As the saying goes, compare your heart with your heart, and what you get in return for this bowl of mellow porridge is not only the flowing expenditure of Huai'an Pavilion, but also the sincere support of those beggars and refugees.

Guangpai porridge is actually not a long-term solution.

So after Ren Bingyi learned about Shen Qingling's benevolent deeds, with a swipe of a pen, he allocated many vacant public houses to refugees and beggars, and allocated some public land so that they could farm for a living.

"We met them on South Street. There were six people in the group. After they met us, they must have handed something to the eldest brother, so that the eldest brother found an excuse to leave in a hurry." Shao Cong somewhat He said angrily: "It's all my fault. I didn't notice it at the time. After thinking about it, I realized that it was not right for them to bump into Big Brother."

Because of guilt, his voice trembled unsteadily, and his eyes were full of self-blame.

If he was smarter, wouldn't he be able to detect the strangeness of the eldest brother in time?Can this situation be avoided?Obviously the eldest brother didn't want the second lady to be involved in this trouble, but he still had to ask the second lady for help in the end.

"A Cong."

Shen Qingling still called him softly.

But Shao Cong seemed to be in deep guilt, holding the hot teacup tightly with both hands, without any response.

"Shao Cong!" Shen Qingling raised her voice, tugged at his ear and said, "Now your eldest brother's life or death is uncertain, if you continue to be so muddle-headed, then you don't need to talk to me!"

The stern voice made Shao Cong sober up, and hurriedly continued: "I found that the elder brother hadn't come back, so I followed the direction he walked in my memory, but I asked people all the way, and the passers-by said they didn't see him." After passing him, I finally had to look outside the city.”

The guard at the gate of the city was recommended by Shen Qingling, from being a refugee to guarding the government, so he knew Shao Cong and Shao Ying, and he told Shao Cong that he did see Shao Ying rushing out of the city in the evening, and there were still people around him. Followed by a group of people wearing robes with blue background and white patterns.

When Shao Cong thought about it for a while, he remembered those people who bumped into him on South Street.

But when Shao Cong drove out of the city and searched all the way, he only saw the endgame.In a hurry, he did not lose all his sanity. He realized that the elder brother left quietly with others because he didn't want to cause trouble for the second lady, so he also planned to go to the elder brother alone.

Some things can be accomplished without determination and perseverance.

Shao Cong, who had searched outside the city for several hours, returned without success. As time went by, the blood and broken swords at that place kept reappearing in his mind, and his worries about his elder brother kept beating. He was on the verge of emotional breakdown.

As a last resort, he could only hurry back.

"Since it's South Street, let's go out now." As soon as Shen Qingling got up, she saw Pingniang bringing in the porridge, so she took the porridge and dragged Shao Cong out without any explanation.

The hungry and panic-stricken Shao Cong remembered that he was going to eat at this moment, so he followed Shen Qingling, drinking while walking, sucking and sucking all the way, which seemed particularly abrupt on the long street late at night.

Shen Qingling knows exactly where the street patrol team is at night, how they will patrol, and when they will change shifts, so even if she walks on the street in a leisurely manner, she is not at all worried that she will be seen by the street patrolling officials.

However, not being seen by street patrollers does not mean completely hidden.

It is also impossible for Shen Qingling to violate the curfew unscrupulously and walk swaggeringly on the street.She led Shao Cong to hide in the shadows all the way, and walked through the streets very skillfully, not only avoiding the officials, but also avoiding ordinary people.
