Song Tuanyuan took a look and found that it was Song Xiucai's handwriting. It should be a letter written by Song Xiucai to Mr. Song.
Song Tuanyuan sighed in his heart. Mr. Song devoted his whole life to Song Xiucai, but as a result, Song Xiucai was only a scholar until his death. Mr. Song has always been worried about it.
Song Tuanyuan thought for a while and took out the letter. After reading two lines, Song Tuanyuan was stunned.
This letter turned out to be Song Xiucai's confession. It stated that he could no longer take the imperial examination and asked Mr. Song to fulfill it. The reason why he could not take the imperial examination turned out to be for the original owner!
Song Xiucai wrote two large letters in a eloquent manner, but the reason was ambiguous. However, Song Tuanyuan generally understood what Song Xiucai meant, that is, if he went to Tiancheng, the Song family would be in danger, so he would not stop after failing a few times.
Willing to take the imperial examination!
Song Tuanyuan thought of Mr. Song's previous attitude. Could it be that because of this letter, in his previous life, even if Song Fuxin had achieved great success in the early years, Mr. Song would not even take a step into the Celestial City?
Then why would the Song family be killed when they entered Tiancheng? Could it be that Song Xiucai had the ability to foresee and actually knew about Song Fuxin's collusion with the King of Liang to rebel?
Song Tuanyuan read the letter carefully again, but felt that Song Xiucai wanted to hide something and couldn't tell him directly.
Perhaps only Mr. Song can know the real reason, but now Mr. Song has passed away!
"My Lady, please don't blame us for burying Mr. Song without notifying you!" Song Qingfeng sighed and said, "This is Mr. Song's intention. He said that no one needs to be notified, just bury him next to Song Xiucai...
…You also know that since Song Xiucai’s death, the old man has seemed to be a completely different person, and he doesn’t even care about his grandson, so what happened this time…”
Song Tuanyuan quickly raised his head and said: "Village Chief, I don't blame you, but I want to thank you for helping the old man take care of the good things. By the way, tell me how much money it cost to take care of the funeral, and I'll give it to you!"
Song Qingfeng waved his hand and said: "When the old man left, he took out all his personal money and said that he didn't need to leave it to anyone. You guys are living a good life here and you don't need it. After all the money is dealt with, there is still more for the future.
According to the old man’s wish, all of it will be donated to the village for road construction!”
Song Tuanyuan sighed.
"Don't be sad, you can't be resurrected after death, not to mention that the old man has lived a long life, but..." Song Qingfeng hesitated.
"If the village chief has something to say, just say it!" Song Tuanyuan said.
"The old man's body has actually always been very strong. After his death, someone in the village dressed him up and found that the old man's body was covered with scars for some reason. Although they were all scabbed, they were shocking. I don't know if they had anything to do with the old man's death!
"Song Qingfeng said.
"Scars?" Song Tuanyuan frowned. The last time she saw Mr. Song, she felt that his energy was a little low, but she just said a word and did not take a closer look at Mr. Song's condition. Could it be that it is not that simple for Mr. Song to come to Tiancheng?
?
"Village Chief, thank you. You are tired from traveling. Please stay at home now and rest for a few days before going back!" Song Tuanyuan felt that this matter needed to be investigated, so she let Song Qingfeng stay first.
Song Qingfeng came to Tiancheng for the first time, and he wanted to stay in the city for a few days and look around. There was a place to stay and eat, so he was naturally willing and quickly agreed.
After asking the palace maid to temporarily place Song Qingfeng in the guest room, Song Tuanyuan read Song Xiucai's letter again, always feeling that Song Xiucai and Mr. Song were hiding something.
Song Tuanyuan combined the dreams he had had before. If it was not a dream, if Song Qingfeng was really Lan Lin, and the original owner was really Princess Qingyuan of the Qing Dynasty, maybe Song Xiucai's letter to Mr. Song could be explained.
Got it!
But if she is Princess Qingyuan, then when Ji Changan said he wanted to marry her, it was not a joke or a whim, but a long-planned plan!
Song Tuanyuan thought carefully about what Dashan said before and what happened after meeting Ji Changan, and he became more and more aware of this possibility!
Ji Changan has been deliberately approaching her from the beginning, and he may have known her identity from the beginning!
But all these are conjectures, and Song Reunion needs to be confirmed.
Song Tuanyuan assumed her identity to be Princess Qingyuan, so it is not surprising that there are so many people from the Qing Dynasty around her, and that old Mr. Huang Biaolong may also know something!
Song Tuanyuan stood up and thought for a while. She had to confirm this matter without telling Ji Changan, but now she is surrounded by Ji Changan's people, and Tian Qi is the same. There is no one she can trust!
"Madam, Prince Lanjun has sent Qiu Ju for Madam to appreciate!" At this moment, Aunt Ren came in to report.
Princess Lan! Song Tuanyuan suddenly thought of her. Now that Prince Lan is also serving as the city's defense minister, maybe she can ask Princess Lan to find out where the old man of the Song family has been after arriving in Tiancheng!
Song Tuanyuan went to Lanjun Palace in the name of thanking Princess Lanjun.
Princess Lanjun knew that Song Tuanyuan would not come to visit rashly, so she sent everyone away and met Song Tuanyuan in person.
"But is there something important?" the princess asked.
"I want to ask you to help me check something!" Song Tuanyuan said, "A few days ago, my old man from my hometown came to see his grandson. He got lost and was beaten. He died after returning to his hometown. I want to ask you to help me check something.
The prince, please check who the old man has met since he arrived in Tiancheng, and it may be related to the old man's death!"
The princess said: "It turns out that this is the case. Don't worry, because the princess of the Dishu Kingdom is in Tiancheng now, so everyone who enters the city is recorded. I will ask the prince to check!"
Song Tuanyuan expressed his thanks.
In the evening, the county princess sent news that there was no record of the Song family's father entering the city, and asked someone to ask Song Tuanyuan if the old man had used a pseudonym.
Song Tuanyuan thought about it. It was the first time for Mr. Song to come to Tiancheng. He was not a prisoner of the imperial court. Naturally, he would not use a pseudonym to cause trouble. In other words, it was very likely that Mr. Song did not come by himself, but someone brought him here.
, then the scars on his body must also be related to the person who brought him here.
If this is the case, it means Ji Changan lied!
Song Tuanyuan hesitated and went to Ji's house.
In the Ji family, Ji Changan was staring at the account book, frowning.
Ever since he revealed his relationship with Ye Po to Emperor Tianji, Emperor Tianji secretly tightened his business. This month, he closed dozens of shops, resulting in a direct loss of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
"Sir, if this continues..." Shen Lin was a little worried, "I have endured it for so long, why can't I lose my temper this time?"
Ji Changan said quietly: "What is supposed to come will come!"
Shen Lin sighed.
"Sir, County Lord Song is here!" Dashan reported outside.
Ji Changan's frowning face immediately put on a smile, and he quickly signaled Shen Lin to move the account book and leave, and he went to open the door.
