Song Qingshu turned pale with fright. "But …"
"No buts." Kangxi stared at him with a gloomy face. "Zhen has already opened my golden mouth, what else do you want to say?"
"Even if Wei Xiaobao made a mistake in the past, what does it have to do with his family? I hope Your Majesty will consider your friendship with Wei Daren in the past and think twice!" Song Qingshu braced himself and said.
"It is because I still have some friendship with this dog slave that I did not send his family to Ningguta to be slaves for the armored people." Kangxi impatiently waved his hand. "All right, I am tired, you can leave now."
Kangxi was already very angry that Wei Xiaobao had a secret relationship with Jianning and ruined his important matter. Now that his embezzlement of one million taels was exposed, it was like adding hail to snow, exposing all the dissatisfaction that Kangxi had suppressed in his heart. This time, he severely punished the Wei family, not without the intention of killing one to warn a hundred. In the past, Wei Xiaobao and he had such a good relationship, if he committed a crime, he would still be punished. Other people would inevitably have to think twice before doing anything.
Song Qingshu walked toward the door with a gloomy face. He did not expect that Kangxi would suddenly call out to him. "Qingshu, recently the capital has not been very peaceful. You are highly skilled in martial arts, you will carry out the search of Wei Xiaobao's house. Shuang 'er and the others will also be sent to the Musical House by you. I do not want any problems to occur along the way. If there is a problem, I will use military law to deal with it. You must be doubly careful. "
Being looked at deeply by Kangxi, Song Qingshu only felt a chill in his heart. Perhaps Kangxi had also guessed his intention, that was why he specially sent him to carry it out. If he secretly rescued Shuang 'er, it would be a serious dereliction of duty. Seeing that Kangxi did not care about old friendship with Wei Xiaobao, Song Qingshu could not predict how he would deal with him when the time came.
Coming out of the imperial study, looking at the bright blue sky, Song Qingshu's mood was relaxed. He could not help but ponder, "As the saying goes, accompanying the ruler is like accompanying a tiger. Today I have seen it with my own eyes, it seems that I am more comfortable being the boss …"
When the house was searched and confiscated, Wei Xiaobao's Viscount Mansion was in a mess, the maids and servants wept and wept. When Song Qingshu finished reading the imperial edict, Taohong, Liulu and Shuang 'er cursed and swore, but Shuang' er's expression was very calm.
"I didn't expect Kangxi to be so heartless. Shuang 'er, I will definitely save you." Song Qingshu signaled for his subordinates to leave, leaving the two of them alone.
Shuang 'er showed a faint smile. "Song Dage, I have never doubted you. I know you must have tried your best. Don't blame those two girls, Taohong and Liulu. After they came back that night, they kept saying good things about you in front of me. In the end, when you brought people to search their house today, they just couldn't accept it. "
"I also didn't expect Kangxi to arrange it like this," Song Qingshu said in distress. "Originally, I planned to save you and take you far away. Who knew that Kangxi would send me to escort you, it's really …"
Hearing him say that he would take her far away, Shuang 'er knew that the other party did not mean that, but her pretty face still flushed uncontrollably. "Song Dage, don't worry. I also have a rough understanding of martial arts. For a short time inside, I can still protect myself and them … It's just that I need to trouble Song Dage with something."
"What is it? As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it without hesitation." Song Qingshu said.
Shuang 'er was about to speak, but when her gaze fell on the official robe he was wearing, she became somewhat hesitant. After all, this matter was related to other people's safety. "Can I trust you?"
Song Qingshu sighed, held Shuang 'er's shoulder, and stared into her eyes. "We have experienced so many things between us, I thought you wouldn't ask such a thing."
Thinking of the first time they met, she was taken advantage of by him when he was drunk, and later, when she was about to commit suicide, she was hugged by him and slept for a night, plus that night she was drugged by Olundai, the two of them … Shuang 'er could not tell what kind of feelings she had for him at the moment, but subconsciously she still trusted him very much, so she had to apologize and said, "Of course I trust you, but this matter is related to other people's lives, so I'm really a little worried."
Shuang 'er paused and then continued, "Brother Song, after you send us to the Musical House, go to the vicinity of the bridge to find a butcher named Qian Laoben and tell him about our current situation. At that time, someone will naturally come to save us. Because big brother, you have already completed the handover, Kangxi can't punish you for the crime of dereliction of duty. " Shuang 'er was indeed exceptionally intelligent. She quickly realized Song Qingshu's difficulties. Now that they were in danger, she first considered for his sake.
Song Qingshu asked, "Are you planning to look for people from Tian Di Hui to save you?"
Shuang 'er was terrified. "Turns out big brother, you already know …"
"Previously in Shandong, I also had a chance meeting with Tian Di Hui's Zongduozhu, Chen Jinnan." Song Qingshu nodded. "I also know about Wei Xiaobao being the Incense Master of Tian Di Hui's Green Wood Hall."
Seeing Shuang 'er's deathly pale complexion, Song Qingshu promptly said, "You can rest assured, I have never told anyone else about this, the people in the imperial court do not know."
Shuang 'er finally let out a sigh of relief. Looking Song Qingshu up and down, she pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Song Dage, only now do I dare to trust you without reservation."
"It's not like you haven't done anything in front of me," Song Qingshu saw that his slight words suddenly made Shuang 'er blush, so he quickly changed his words and said, "Right, I think it's better not to involve Tian Di Hui in this. I always feel that this time Kangxi was a bit too strict with Wei Xiaobao. Maybe he wants to take this opportunity to get rid of Tian Di Hui."
Song Qingshu had not thought about this at all. It was only when he heard Shuang 'er asking for help from Tian Di Hui that he reacted. According to the original plot, because Tian Di Hui had a traitor, not long after Wei Xiaobao joined Tian Di Hui, Kangxi already knew about it. It was only because Wei Xiaobao was still useful that he kept his composure. This time, Kangxi sent Wei Xiaobao's widow to the Musical House. It was inevitable that he wanted to take this opportunity to wipe out Tian Di Hui in one fell swoop. After all, the people of Tian Di Hui put the word 'righteousness' above everything else, there was no reason for them to let Shuang 'er be bullied like this.
"What should we do?" Shuang 'er's face turned pale.
"Don't you still have me?" Song Qingshu said, "If Tian Di Hui wants to contact them, it's just that they have to bide their time. After a period of time, when Kangxi finds that no one from Tian Di Hui will come to his rescue, let's see how he will react, and then we can figure out what his plan is. "
"Indeed, we shouldn't let the brothers of Tian Di Hui take the risk." Shuang 'er nodded, and then suddenly looked embarrassed. "But I'm a bit afraid of a place like the Musical House."
"Just now, who said that she had a rough understanding of martial arts and could protect herself?" Song Qingshu gave her a strange look, and when she was about to get angry, he quickly said, "Don't worry, I can't bear to leave you alone in that kind of place of tigers and wolves. You can indeed deal with ordinary people, but if Olundai comes to you, I'm afraid you really can't deal with him. "
"What do you mean by 'can't bear to leave'? It's so unpleasant to hear." Shuang 'er said angrily, but she knew that he was telling the truth. She had heard a lot about the means of dealing with disobedient girls in the Lovely Spring Courtyard. As an official brothel, the Musical House must have more means. Moreover, if Olundai came to her door and asked for her, because she was already an official prostitute, she really had no way to deal with him. She couldn't help but slightly tremble.
"Shuang 'er, so I need you to put on a show with me." Song Qingshu said with a strange smile.
…
In the following period of time, a strange thing happened in the capital. Nowadays, the Deputy Director of the Imperial Bodyguards, Song Qingshu, was actually loitering around the Musical House all day long. After some people investigated, they found out that he spent a lot of money to keep a girl named Shuang 'er.
In the capital, it was very popular for high officials and nobles to visit prostitutes, but generally, they just played around and went home after having fun. Unlike Song Qingshu, who didn't go home and lived in a brothel at night.
Unlike most officials who secretly despised him for not having self-respect, the girls in the brothel admired Song Qingshu very much, and they all called him the second Liu Sanbian.
"Liu Sanbian?" Hearing Shuang 'er's words, Song Qingshu, who was enjoying Taohong and Liulu's massage, shook his head and said with a wry smile, "I don't want to be like Liu Sanbian. After his death, no one cared about him, and it was a group of brothel girls who pooled money to bury him."
"Brother Song, of course, is not Liu Sanbian. But if it goes on like this, I'm afraid your reputation will be the same as Liu Sanbian's, and it will affect your future." Shuang 'er plucked a grape and stuffed it into his mouth. Recently, they had been playing around. In order to deceive the eyes and ears of people, they naturally had some similar intimate actions. Later, the two felt that it couldn't be more normal.
"Reputation." Song Qingshu sneered. "My reputation can't be worse, so I don't need to worry about it. And the biggest difference between me and Liu Sanbian is that his future needs the emperor's grace, but my future can be earned by myself … "
A clamor suddenly came from outside. The door was suddenly slammed open. The procuress looked apologetically at Song Qingshu. "Song Daren, I really can't stop Master Tong."
Song Qingshu nodded and motioned for her to leave. Looking at the flustered and exasperated Olundai, he said unhurriedly, "Master Tong, we don't seem to have any friendship. During this time, you've repeatedly barged in to find me. What exactly do you want?"
Olundai snorted coldly. "Song, I really admire you. During this time, you've always been here to protect Shuang 'er. I can't find a single gap. "
Song Qingshu had a smug expression. During this time, he had spent most of his time in Shuang 'er's room. When the Imperial Palace had business and he had to leave, he would arrange for people to guard the door. Once he finished his business, he would quickly return from the Imperial Palace. Olundai had wanted Shuang 'er to serve him time and time again, but in the end, he hadn't found a single opportunity.
Olundai's expression suddenly changed. He sneered and said, "Song Daren, compared to you, my methods are really too crude. I tried everything, but I couldn't get Miss Shuang 'er. Instead, step by step, I pushed her into your arms. Unlike you, the hero who saved the damsel in distress, making her willingly throw herself into your arms. You can't leave me out of this cup of wine to thank the matchmaker. Poor Wei Xiaobao, his bones haven't even turned cold when his wife was taken by his former brother … "
Watching Olundai swagger away, Shuang 'er's face was shrouded in a layer of frost. Song Qingshu promptly withdrew his feet from the stool and motioned for Taohong and Liulu to leave first. Cautiously looking at her, he said, "Shuang 'er, he's completely sowing discord. There's nothing between us, don't you know it yourself?"
