Chapter 104
The man hurriedly left the door and went to Qin Zongxian's yard. He took several deep breaths before he had the courage to knock on the door of the study.

There were soft footsteps in the study, and after a while, the eunuch who followed Qin Zongxian came out, saw him standing at the door, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

"Eunuch Sun, the matter was not done, the man surnamed Shen has left." The man was sweating profusely and whispered about taking Shen Jingcheng to the back garden.

After hearing what he said, Eunuch Sun frowned and glanced at him, then turned and walked into the study.

In the study, Qin Zongxian saw him coming in, without even raising his eyelids, he just asked casually, "What's wrong?"

Eunuch Sun stepped forward and told the story of what happened. Qin Zongxian raised his eyebrows slightly, and then said indifferently: "Drag out twenty big sticks, this trivial matter can't be done well, what do you want him to do."

"Yes." Eunuch Sun replied, and asked again: "Where is Shenzhi County..."

"Don't worry about it. He's just a magistrate. He won't know if he can climb to the capital for the rest of his life. Let him go." After Qin Zongxian finished speaking lightly, he didn't say anything else.

Originally, he thought that the old man who gave the command in person must be someone with outstanding ability, but now he saw that it was nothing more than that.If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have bothered to use beauties to win over a little county magistrate.

With that dirt-covered appearance, it would be nice to be paired with a lowly woman, and it was just right that the beauties he raised were not wasted.

Shen Jingcheng didn't stop until he was some distance away from the Emperor Taisun's mansion, and took out the whistle in his hand again to blow.

After a while, as if in response, a whining sound of horse neighing came from the north, Shen Jingcheng immediately walked in that direction, and finally saw his horse at the end of a small alley.

At this time, the horse's back and stomach had bulges, long or short, and it looked like it had been severely beaten.

Shen Jingcheng patted the horse's head soothingly, took a deep look at the emperor's grandson's mansion shrouded in dusk, and led the horse towards the mansion where the capital was located.

This horse can no longer be ridden, it must take a good rest.

When Shen Jingcheng led the horse to the mansion in the capital, it was already nightfall, and the city gate was closed at this time, even if he wanted to leave, he couldn't, so he could only rest here temporarily for one night.

"Master, the Miss Song family has come here every day these days. I asked her what's the matter so that I can tell the master, but Miss Song didn't say anything." Seeing him coming, the old man at the door took the horse in his hand and reported.

"Miss Song?" Shen Jingcheng looked at the old man suspiciously.

"Yes, she is the younger sister of Song Laoban of the Song family shop." The old man explained.

Shen Jingcheng instantly remembered who it was.

Song Qingyue, Song Qingming's weak sister, but they haven't seen each other in these years, so why did Song Qingyue suddenly come to him?
"Is it just her? Where is Boss Song, has he been here? Or something happened to the Song family shop recently?" Shen Jingcheng asked suspiciously.

"That's right, the Song family shop has been booming recently, very good." The old man shook his head and said with certainty.

He had already made a special effort to inquire about this matter.

Shen Jingcheng couldn't figure it out when he heard the words, but he still nodded and said to the old man: "I see, when I leave tomorrow, I will go to the Song family's store to have a look."

Since the business of the Song family shop is good, it is estimated that there is nothing serious about it. If there is anything, it will not be Song Qingyue's turn to look for it. Song Qingming should have come to the store earlier.

Shen Jingcheng asked the old man to take the horse to the stable, told him to take good care of the horse, and then went back to wash and rest.

Early the next morning, Shen Jingcheng went to the horse market to buy a new horse, and then went to the Song family shop.

When he arrived, the store had just opened, and it was really booming as the old man said. As soon as the store opened, people started going in and out to buy things, and Song Qingming had already hired the shopkeeper, so he was not in the front hall.

Shen Jingcheng asked where the shopkeeper Song Qingming was, and found him in the backyard.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Shen Jingcheng asked him straight to the point: "I don't know if Brother Song is here for you?"

"Ah?" Song Qingming was puzzled by his question: "I have never looked for Brother Shen, why did Brother Shen ask like this?"

Shen Jingcheng was also startled, and then said with a smile: "The old servant in my courtyard said that your sister has been coming to my courtyard to look for me these days. I thought Brother Song was looking for me for something."

Song Qingming was even more at a loss.

Her younger sister basically didn't go out since she fell into a weak disease, but Shen Jingcheng was not a liar, but he really didn't know about it.

But Song Qingming still cared about his younger sister Qingyu very much, and after doing business for a long time, his mind turned very quickly, and he said quickly: "It may be that I heard people say that brother Shen is now an official, and when I went home, I sighed. I have time to say congratulations to Brother Shen, so I want to go and see when you will come to Beijing, and then tell me, so that I will regret it."

Whether Shen Jingcheng believes it or not, he has to say it now.

After all, his sister is a woman, and she took the initiative to find a man several times, which is hard to say.

Shen Jingcheng's eyes flickered when he heard the words, he breathed a sigh of relief as if nothing had happened, and said: "It's good that there's nothing wrong, since that's the case, I still have to go to my post, so I won't stay any longer."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Song Qingming hurriedly said: "I don't think Brother Shen has any luggage with him, why don't you choose something in the shop and bring it with you! I have new goods here, and the quality is not bad."

"No need." Shen Jingcheng declined and said, "I just packed lightly for the purpose of rushing. The time to go to the post is too tight this time, so it's not easy to hurry with the things. Don't bother Brother Song, so I bid farewell."

As Shen Jingcheng said, he clasped his fists at Song Qingming, strode out of the Song's shop, got on his horse and headed towards the gate of the city.

Behind him, Song Qingming kept watching him disappear into the street, his smile slowly disappeared, and he went back to the shop to explain to the shopkeeper, then turned and went home.

Before Song Qingming arrived at the door of the house, he saw Song Qingyue walking out of the house with his little maid from a distance, and his younger sister who never put on makeup at home, now had a rare thin layer of makeup on her face, and her whole body It looks a lot more complex than usual.

"Where are you going?" Song Qingming asked pretending not to know.

Song Qingyue didn't expect him to come back suddenly, and couldn't find a reason for a while, so he faltered and made up nonsense at will.

"I..., um..., I want to go to the street to have a look."

"Really? Which street are you going to?" Song Qingming asked casually.

Song Qingyue felt uncomfortable being asked, but she couldn't answer for a while.

Seeing this, Song Qingming asked directly, "Is it the street where the Shen family is?"

Song Qingyue froze when she heard the words, and suddenly raised her eyes to Song Qingming, her eyes were full of surprise.

How did he know?
