I'm here to find my son

Although locked in a dark room, Song Ci has not been abused. On the contrary, due to the special care of Xiao Zhen by Master Hou, he faintly began to gain weight.

"Master Hou." Song Ci, who had been imprisoned for a long time, was still a little sluggish, "Here?"

"Well, are you still used to living here? Tell Xiaozhen if you need anything." Li Xingzhi said nothing, then took out a key and opened the iron mesh door.

There are no windows in this dark room, and naturally there is no light, so candles are burning from morning to night.

"Hmm." Song Ci smiled, and the dancing flames were reflected on his silent side face, which made Li Xingzhi feel familiar yet unfamiliar with this person.

Lord Hou was a little embarrassed, how could he get used to living here.Although it was useless to ask, when Li Xingzhi felt embarrassed, he would unconsciously use these polite words to break the silence.

"We came here this time to talk to Mr. Song about something." Nan Zimu cut to the chase, and briefly recounted what Li Xingzhi had just said to him and Song Ci.

After listening to the note sent by the Huns, Song Ci was obviously also very surprised. He raised his head and asked, "Have you found it? Who is the other employer?"

Nan Zimu said nonchalantly: "No, after Xingzhi caught the middleman, he swallowed poison and committed suicide. But Mr. Song is so nervous, what do you think of the identity of this employer?"

Song Ci said honestly: "Master Nan doesn't have to detour with me. I can guess his identity, so you must know it."

After speaking, he turned to Li Xingzhi, knelt down straight, and kowtowed three times to Lord Hou.

Li Xingzhi leaned over and tried to pull him: "What are you doing? Get up quickly."

"Song Ci is ashamed of Lord Hou." Song Ci pushed his hand away, his eyes burning, "I know Lord Hou wants to ask, but because of years of friendship, it's hard to ask. Just as Lord Hou and Mr. Nan thought, Back then in the theater, I was the one who told Lin Jiwen to leave quickly. As you all know, he is my third brother, Song Chen."

He thought for a moment, and then said: "Even Marquis Pingyang, I did it too, Lord Hou—so, you don't have to feel guilty for keeping me here, even if Lord Hou stabs me to death with a sword, I will not feel wronged." .”

Li Xingzhi's face turned cold in the end, and he said in a low voice, "You are quite calm, why don't you justify yourself?"

"I have nothing to justify. No matter what the reason is, the final result is already a betrayal of Lord Marquis."

Lord Hou said condescendingly: "Then can I trouble Mr. Song to explain the cause and effect to this Hou?"

Song Ci lowered his eyes and didn't look into Li Xingzhi's eyes: "When Mr. Nan arrived at the theater on the first day, I hid under his bed. When I heard Lin Jiwen and Boss Lin talking, I felt a little suspicious."

Later, he couldn't help but sneaked into Lin Jiwen's room and found something that could prove his identity. Song Ci was flustered and was about to leave with the evidence when he turned his head and bumped into Song Chen.

Song Chen folded his arms leisurely, as if he could see the face behind his mask: "Is it Xiaoci?"

Song Ci didn't speak, he didn't have much contact with other brothers, but the one in front of him was his brother from the same father and mother, and General Song Chenren, so they had a lot of contact and had a very good relationship.

"What do you want to do?" Song Ci raised his eyebrows, "Hiding weapons privately and listening to the ministers, is this trying to seek power and usurp the throne?"

"Xiao Ci really knows a lot, Li Jing sent you here?" Song Chen's eyes were sharp, "He knows everything? He probably doesn't know my identity yet?"

Song Ci couldn't imagine that such a thing he thought was absurd would be done by his relatives: "What is our family capable of? Don't be confused. This is a deviant thing. Aren't you fooling around?"

Song Chen stared into his eyes: "What do you think about Xiaoci, it's best to let Hou Ye come and take us away. Hiding weapons privately is a serious crime. As long as Li Jing is willing to search, he wants to find evidence of our Song family's conspiracy. But it's not difficult at all, if you want to punish the nine clans for rebellion, you don't want to live, so don't drag our family to die."

"Brother, you have also read books. Didn't your husband teach you to keep the word morality in your heart?"

Song Chen couldn't help laughing: "Morality is morality. Do you really believe that there is a true dragon emperor in the world? Whoever can secure this position, who can allow the common people to be as clean as He Qinghaiyan, anyone can sit on this dragon chair."

He paused, and then said: "Do you think that kid Li Jing can be a good emperor? You have been with him for so long, and you don't know that he is too benevolent. Although his ability and talent cannot be denied, But those who dare to sit on the dragon chair are ruthless and have a dirty heart, but you, Lord Hou, are not."

"Song Chen, I'm warning you, and please send a message to Song Yili. If you continue to covet the throne, we will be at odds. Although Lord Hou is benevolent, he will never show mercy to those who plot evil."

Song Chen raised his decibel immediately: "Go ahead and tell Li Jing, you won't be happy if you don't see our family being ransacked and beheaded. It's useless to give birth to you and raise you. Do you really think you have any charm that can be raised by the prince's mansion?" Have you grown up? They are not looking at your father's sake. Now that the wings are hard and they will kick us away, I really misjudged you, little white-eyed wolf."

"If I cover for you and deceive Lord Hou, then I will be a real white-eyed wolf!" Song Ci's eyes were cracked, "He is willing to embrace Lord Hou in this world, so I will do my part for him; even if he No, the world should never be named Song."

In short - I will always be loyal to him.

Song Chen was anxious: "Do you think that the Shangshu Mansion has been ransacked by all the families, and you, Song Ci, can take care of yourself?"

Song Ci said fearlessly: "So what, it's just a matter of losing a head."

The two quarreled for a long time, but seeing that no one could persuade the other, they had no choice but to call a truce.

Song Chen couldn't bear to kill this brother, and locking him up would arouse Li Xingzhi's suspicion. Song Chen's mind turned, and he suddenly said: "Actually, father is not sure, you know him, right? He is used to eating too much and being lazy, and this kind of troublesome thing can kill him. In fact, this matter was instigated by the second prince. He doesn't know what he said to our father..."

"Father is lazy, but he is not a pig." Song Ci said coldly, "Rebellion is such a big matter, can someone make a rash decision just by instigate it?"

Song Chen: "I admit that we had this ambition from the beginning, but now we have no turning back. Can you send our Song family to die cruelly?"

Yes, can he hate to send all his relatives to die?Even if he was also on the death row, it was really hard for Song Ci to imagine sending his biological parents, brothers and sisters to the execution ground for a while.

Thinking of this, he put the evidence in his arms on the table: "Only this time."

But family affection and righteousness are distinct and cannot be confused.

"Brother knows, brother will try his best to persuade father to stop." Song Chen hypocritically said, "Is Li Jing also in our theater now?"

Song Ci let out a sigh of relief: "Not here, but he has recently begun to plan to eradicate your theater. If you have the heart to repent, you should leave quickly; if you and your father remain stubborn, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

There was another silence between the two.

On this night, Lord Hou rushed into the theater at night, Song Ci ran to tell Song Chen, and Song Chen ran away.

"I still can't be as frank as I imagined." Song Ci said to Li Xingzhi, "After all, they are my relatives."

Li Xingzhi nodded slightly: "I can understand, but I can't accept it."

"Later Pingyanghou was captured alive. Song Chen and my father begged me many times in private. Seeing that I was indifferent, they told my mother. My mother cried, made trouble, and hanged herself. She said she wanted to die for me." Song Ci Laughing self-deprecatingly, "Then I gave in again."

Song Ci: "So when I found out that I was imprisoned here, I breathed a sigh of relief. It's only three things, and I can't get over the hurdle in my heart if I betray Lord Hou again, but I really can't get over the difficulty of sending our Song family to hell." That hand."

So he didn't feel that the life here was difficult, and what followed was actually a relief-like rejoicing.

Li Xingzhi didn't know what to say. Song Ci chose to protect his family. There was nothing wrong with love, but if he chose morality, there was nothing wrong with reason.

So no matter what he chooses, he will always be infamous.

The law of safety and security in the world?

"Okay." Li Xingzhi's face sank like water, "Since you have chosen this way, then the two of us will also..."

Song Ci stopped and said: "I've been thinking about it for almost half a month. I saved the Song family twice, and I have settled with them. From then on, the rise and fall of the Song family has nothing to do with me."

After finishing speaking, he smiled helplessly: "I'm not in a hurry to pick myself out. If the Song family ends up beheaded, I will naturally not live."

"Master Hou, please listen to me. The rebellion of the second prince was indeed instigated by Song Yili. He originally wanted to take advantage of the second prince's affairs, and then spend money to hire people to spread the words that are beneficial to him, so as to establish trust among the people. Song Yili is a loyal minister."

Nan Zimu continued: "He used the second prince's hand to raise his troops before, and then let Song Chen persuade the second prince's army to submit to Song Chen's command."

"Well." Song Ci said, "I didn't hear it very clearly, I only vaguely remembered a few names, Chen Shaoyang and Lin Yunxun from the Ministry of War, needless to say from the Ministry of Industry, please be careful of these people, Lord Hou."

"Didn't hear clearly?"

Song Ci: "The last time when my mother hanged herself, I went back to the Shangshu Mansion. While my mother was asleep, I sneaked into Song Yili's yard and overheard some words, but because it was far away, I could hear Not very clear."

Wang Dahu walked in without a sound suddenly, and calmly said: "Master Hou can go catch the rape."

Song Ci, the only one who didn't know the truth, was startled: "?"

However, Hou Ye was more calm than Wang Dahu, and he only said indifferently: "Yes, I see."

Even if Wang Dahu didn't say anything, Li Xingzhi had already guessed what kind of medicine Cheng Yaoying would give, so he wasn't surprised at all.

When the disheveled Cheng Yaoying and the Seventeenth Prince were dragged into the yard by the servants, Hou Ye and Nan Zimu just glanced at Cheng Yaoying indifferently.

Cheng Yaoying had never felt that Li Xingzhi's gaze was so dazzling.The person who was pressing on her just now changed his appearance in vain, followed by Li Xingzhi's voice and the whispers of the servants.

She felt that something in her heart suddenly collapsed, and all that was left was... almost collapsed despair.
