Chapter 49: Being Deceived by the Villain’s Design

"Back to Your Majesty, when I passed by the Xuanping Marquis' Mansion yesterday, I found a few people sneaking around nearby, so I became more cautious and sent people to monitor them."

"At dusk, my men came to report that a few people had sneaked into the Xuanping Hou Mansion and fled out of the city. I felt that this was something fishy, ​​so I led my men to follow them all the way..."

Zhou Qi was afraid that how he got the letter was too bizarre and might involve his son, 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 even boasted that the letter was almost destroyed.

The little emperor was dumbfounded, and even his heart skipped a beat as Zhou Qi described it.

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

Zhou Qi nodded solemnly, "Yes, there is not a single lie in what I said. I hope your Majesty will see clearly."

The little emperor seemed to be relieved as he walked back to the dragon throne and sat down, "It seems that I have indeed misunderstood Song Aiqing."

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

On the side, Jun Tianlin saw that the little emperor already believed that the letter was true, and his eyes changed slightly. After a moment, he said with a smile: "I have long felt that it is impossible for Marquis Xuanping to do something treasonous and unethical."

"He is loyal to the Lord and will never have selfish motives. We were all deceived by villains before."

After speaking, he turned to face the young emperor, "Your Majesty, I believe that this matter must be thoroughly investigated, the mastermind behind it can be found out, and Marquis Xuan Ping can be given justice!"

Zhou Qi glanced at him disdainfully. If the timing hadn't been wrong, he would have spit on this man with a beastly face!

"What the emperor said makes sense. I will send people to investigate the matter thoroughly. As for Marquis Xuanping..."

The little emperor's eyes turned to Zhou Qi and said, "Zhou Aiqing, you and Marquis Xuanping are good friends. It's up to you to go to the Ministry of Punishment to pick him up."

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

After hearing this, Zhou Qi immediately kowtowed and thanked him: "I accept the decree!"

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

"Uncle, you're awake."

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

Song Baoling pulled off the cloth on her head, walked up to him and said proudly: "I successfully sent 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 how she delivered the letter, and Jun Tingsheng felt cold sweat break out on her back. She gave such an important thing to a child on the street?

However, I have to say that Song Baoling is indeed very smart in this matter.

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

Song Baoling knew that he was lucky this time. If something like this happened again, he didn't know if he would be as lucky as today.

"Ling'er knows."

Looking at Jun Tingsheng's still pale face, Song Baoling couldn't help but worry, "Uncle, are your injuries better?"

"Don't worry, I will recover soon."

"If it weren't for Ling'er, my uncle wouldn't have been injured..."

"Don't think like that!"

Jun Tingsheng pulled her close to him and comforted her gently: "For me, the most important thing is that you are okay."

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

Fortunately, fortunately, Linger is fine.

On the other side, Zhou Qi successfully took Song Baichuan out of the Criminal Department, and Qiao Xu was also traveling with him.

"Master Marquis, although I have been ordered to do things, I really can't bear to have you condescend to stay here for so long."

"However, I have always believed that the Marquis is innocent. Fortunately, Mr. Zhou has found the evidence. Now the Holy One has ordered a thorough investigation of the matter. I think it won't take long before the mastermind behind the false accusation against the Marquis will be caught."

Qiao Xu expressed his apologies all the way, but seeing that Song Baichuan ignored him, he had no choice but to continue: "I only obey orders, and I can't help myself when I do this kind of thing. I hope Mr. Hou will not take it to heart."

Zhou Qi, who was walking next to him, laughed disdainfully, and then exposed him mercilessly: "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 forced you at that time. I think what you said that day was all from the bottom of your heart."

Qiao Xu's face suddenly changed. He looked at Song Baichuan who said nothing and defended in embarrassment: "What Mr. Zhou said... is wrong. I was deceived by the fake letter and thought that Mr. Hou was really collaborating with the enemy. Therefore,

talent……"

Before he could finish speaking, Song Baichuan stopped and turned to look at him, "Qiao Shangshu doesn't need to explain. You and I are both officials in the court. I know that there are some things in the court that are unavoidable."

"You were just following orders this time. I won't blame you. Don't worry about it, Mr. Qiao."

When Qiao Xu heard this, he was startled for a moment, and then he bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Marquis, for your magnanimity."

"I guess the Marquis has not returned for a few days, and now he misses his children. I will not say more. Please excuse me, Marquis."

Song Baichuan nodded to him, and then left the palace with Zhou Qi. On the way, he quickly 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 it was given to him by a little beggar, but I think it was probably a disguise."

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

Song Baichuan was very confused about 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 these past few days, there must be a commotion in the house. It's better to go back and take a look first."

Zhou Qi patted his shoulder comfortingly and said, "Ling'er has become sensible now. Don't be as harsh on her as you are on your son. After all, she is a precious daughter, so you should cherish her more."

When Song Baichuan heard what he said, Song Baoling's cute appearance suddenly appeared in his mind, and his tense expression suddenly relaxed a little.

Back at the Song Mansion, Song Baichuan took the Song Lianming brothers in. As soon as the three of them walked into the courtyard, they saw Mr. Li directing his men to move things in the house.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

When Li saw his two sons, he was obviously startled. When he looked to the side, he was dumbfounded.

What's happening here?

Didn't you say that Song Baichuan could not be saved? How come he came back safe and sound in the blink of an eye?
