Chapter 49

"My lord, yesterday when I was passing by the Marquis of Xuanping's mansion, I found a few sneaky people lingering nearby, so I became more careful and sent someone to monitor them."

"As the evening approached, my subordinates reported that those people had sneaked into the Marquis of Xuanping's mansion, and fled outside the city after they came out. I felt that this was strange, so I led people to follow them all the way..."

Zhou Qi was afraid that the process of getting the letter would be too bizarre and that his son might be involved, so he could only make up a story on the spot.

In order to highlight the authenticity of the letter, he described the process of getting the letter in an extremely thrilling way, and he even boasted that the letter was almost destroyed.

The little emperor was stunned, and even followed Zhou Qi's description, his heart was raised.

"So, someone wanted to destroy the letter secretly, but you intercepted it instead?"

Zhou Qi nodded solemnly, "Yes, what I said is not a half-true lie, I hope the sage will see clearly."

The little emperor breathed a sigh of relief, walked back to the dragon chair and sat down, "It seems that I really misunderstood Song Aiqing."

"This matter has nothing to do with the Holy Majesty. The Holy Majesty was also deceived by the villain's design."

Seeing that the little emperor believed the letter was genuine, Jun Tianlin's eyes changed a little. After a while, he said with a smile, "I thought early on that with Xuan Pinghou's character, it was impossible for him to do such a treasonous thing."

"He is loyal to the Lord, and he will definitely not have selfishness. We were all deceived by villains before."

After finishing speaking, he turned to face the little emperor, "Your Majesty, I believe that this matter must be thoroughly investigated, and the mastermind behind the scenes must be found out, so that Xuan Pinghou can be justified!"

Zhou Qi glanced at him disdainfully, if it wasn't for the wrong timing, he would definitely spit on this animal-faced person!
"Uncle Huang is right. I will send someone to investigate the matter thoroughly. As for Marquis Xuan Ping..."

The little emperor's gaze shifted to Zhou Qi, "Zhou Aiqing, you and Xuan Pinghou are good friends, so you can go to the Ministry of Punishment to pick him up."

"You tell him on my behalf that he has been wronged in this matter, and I will definitely give him an explanation."

Zhou Qi kowtowed his head and thanked him immediately when he heard the words: "The minister accepts the decree!"

Here, Jun Tingsheng didn't see Song Baoling when he woke up, and was about to get out of bed to find someone, when a petite figure appeared in front of him.

"Uncle, you're awake."

Looking at the person dressed as a beggar, Jun Tingsheng was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "Ling'er, why do you look like this?"

Song Baoling tore off the cloth from his head, walked up to him and said proudly, "I successfully delivered the letter."

"what?!"

Jun Tingsheng sat up excitedly, and looked at her in disbelief: "You said you sent the letter? Who did you send it to?"

Song Baoling told the story of delivering the letter, and Jun Tingsheng was in a cold sweat. She gave such an important thing to a child on the street?
However, I have to say that Song Baoling is indeed very clever in this matter.

"Ling'er, you've done a good job, but you can't be so reckless next time."

Song Baoling knew in his heart that he was lucky this time, if this kind of thing happened again, he would not know if he would be as lucky as today.

"Ling'er knows."

Looking at Jun Tingsheng's pale face, Song Baoling couldn't help but worry, "Little uncle, is your injury better?"

"Don't worry, I'll be fine soon."

"If it wasn't for Ling'er, little uncle wouldn't be hurt..."

"Don't think so!"

Jun Tingsheng pulled her closer and comforted her gently: "For me, the most important thing is that you are fine."

God knows how scared he was when he saw the beam hitting Ling'er, and he only had one thought at that time, which was to run to her with all his might.

Fortunately, Linger is fine.

On the other side, Zhou Qi successfully picked up Song Baichuan from the Ministry of Punishment, and Qiao Xu was with him along the way.

"Master Hou, although I'm also following orders, but I'm really sorry for allowing Master Hou to condescend to stay here for so long."

"However, I have always believed that Master Hou is innocent. Fortunately, Master Zhou has found the evidence. Now the Holy Majesty has ordered a thorough investigation of this matter. It will not be long before the mastermind who framed Master Hou will be caught."

Qiao Xu was expressing his apologies all the way, but seeing that Song Baichuan ignored him, he had no choice but to continue to say, "I'm also obeying orders, and I can't help myself if I do this kind of thing. I hope Lord Hou don't take it to heart."

Zhou Qi, who was walking beside him, laughed disdainfully, and then mercilessly exposed him: "What Qiao Shangshu said, didn't you say in the hall the day before yesterday that you would severely punish Brother Song?"

"I remember that no one persecuted you at that time. I think what you said that day was all from the bottom of your heart."

Qiao Xu's complexion changed drastically, and he looked at Song Baichuan who was silent, and explained embarrassingly: "What Mr. Zhou said...was wrong, I was also deceived by the fake letter, thinking that Lord Hou was really collaborating with the enemy, so talent……"

Before he finished speaking, Song Baichuan stopped and turned around to look at him, "Qiao Shangshu doesn't need to explain, you and I are also officials in the court, and I know that there are some things that have to be done in the court."

"This time you are just following orders, I won't blame you, Qiao Shangshu don't take it to heart."

Qiao Xu was taken aback when he heard this, and then he bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Hou, for your generosity."

"It must be that Lord Hou has not returned for a few days, and now he is missing his children, so I won't say much, Lord Hou, please go ahead."

Song Baichuan nodded at him, and then left the palace with Zhou Qi. On the way, he hurriedly asked about what happened in the past two days.

Among them, the letter Zhou Qi said made him particularly concerned.

"You said someone gave the letter to He'er?"

Zhou Qi nodded solemnly, and said, "He'er said a little beggar gave it to him, but I think it must be a disguise."

"After all, it is such an important thing. If it is discovered by the mastermind behind the scenes, the consequences will be disastrous."

Song Baichuan was very puzzled by this, but he thought about all the possible people, but he still couldn't figure out who was helping him behind the scenes.

"Okay, let's talk about this later. If you haven't gone back for a few days, the house must be in trouble. You should go back and have a look."

Zhou Qi patted him on the shoulder reassuringly, and said: "Ling'er is sensible now, don't be so strict with her as you are with your son, after all, she is a precious daughter, so you should cherish her more."

Hearing what he said, Song Baichuan's cute appearance of Song Baoling immediately appeared in his mind, and his tense expression immediately relaxed a little.

Back at the Song Mansion, Song Baichuan brought Song Lianming and his brothers into the house, but as soon as the three of them entered the compound, they saw Li Shi ordering his servants to move the things in the house.

"Mother, what are you doing?"

When Li Shi saw her two sons, she was obviously taken aback, and when she looked to the side, she was dumbfounded.

What's happening here?
Didn't it mean that Song Baichuan couldn't keep it?Why did the person come back safe and sound in the blink of an eye?
