Yang Qiuchi entrusted Niu Qianhu (the original Niu Baihu Niu Dahai) and Ma Du to issue a national sea capture document to organize the Jinyiwei to search for Song Qing nationwide.

The special envoy has an order, who dares not to obey? Niu Qianhu and Ma Du asked Yang Qiuchi to rest assured. They immediately arranged portraits and issued a national captive document to find the clay doll Song Qing.

Both of his concubines were lost one after another, and they were robbed by the same person. Although the Jinyiwei was asked to search for it, Yang Qiuchi knew that since the Jinyiwei could not even find Qin Zhihui, this clay doll might not be found.

The mud doll Song Qing was gone, and Yang Qiuchi had no intention of staying in the capital. He asked Ma Du and the others to go to Gu Gong. Jia Hanlin said that his Lu Ming Banquet could not be attended, and then he rushed back to Ningguo Mansion with Song Yuner and his entourage.

When Yang's mother and Feng Xiaoxue saw Yang Qiuchi come back, they were very satisfied and told the story, which was similar to what Xia Ping said. Song Qing's mother and Song Tongzhi also rushed over after hearing the news, especially Song Qing's mother, who were almost crazy.

Yang Qiuchi went to the mud doll's room to check it out, and asked Song Yuner to go up to the roof with her. As last time, she found reactionary traces of the tiles on the roof, and found shoe prints and hand prints. After taking them back to the room to compare them with the last fingerprint and shoe print, she found that although the shoe print patterns were somewhat different, the human characteristics reflected by the shoe prints were consistent, and the fingerprints were completely consistent. This means that the same person was the one who robbed his two concubines.

Yang Qiuchi told Yang's mother the observation results and speculations that Feng Xiaoxue and Song Qing's mother, and Song Tongzhi, the four of them were also very confused and could not understand the reason why this female senior in the martial arts world kidnapped Yang Qiuchi's two concubines Qin Zhihui and Song Qing one after another.

Song Qing's mother knew that the one who robbed her daughter was a martial arts senior. After listening to Yang Qiuchi's analysis, she also felt that it made sense. After knowing that her daughter's life would not be in danger, she felt a little relieved.

Yang Qiuchi called Nangong Xiong, Xia Ping and the other two female guards again to analyze who might be robbed Qin Zhihui and Song Qingdi.

Yang Qiuchi judged that this person is so skilled in martial arts, he should be very famous in the world. Xia Ping and two other female guards said that the female thief was covering her face at that time. It was dark night again. She could only see her figure and hear her voice, but from these two items alone, she could not tell who she was.

Xia Ping and Nangong Xiong investigated the current martial arts masters one by one. They felt that none of them had the best martial arts skills, and none of them had the same martial arts skills as this female thief.

Yang Qiuchi knew nothing about martial arts. He knew nothing about martial arts masters during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. After listening to their analysis, he only came to one conclusion: among the current martial arts female masters, no one matched the martial arts method with this female thief. What's more headache is that this female thief's martial arts skills are obviously much better than those so-called martial arts female masters.

From this point of view, this is a lonely master. He rarely or even never appears in the world.

Yang Qiuchi smiled bitterly. He could attract the attention of the most female master today. He was very proud. However, he didn't want this face at all. He just wanted to get back his two concubines and he could give him as much as possible.

Last time, in order to find Qin Zhihui, the Jinyiwei had used the Jinyiwei to conduct nationwide sea captures. It has been a few months since then, and there is no news. Now Song Qing has been robbed again. Although the female thief left fingerprints, there was no fingerprint database in the Ming Dynasty. Could it be that the whole country will be compared one by one? Unless the suspect is found, this fingerprint is of no use at all.

Yang Qiuchi was very depressed, but he had no choice but to stay at home and hope that good news could be heard from the Jinyiwei.

My concubine is gone, but life still has to go on.

Yang's mother and others were still very happy after learning that Yang Qiuchi's high school juren was born. Since her concubine Song Qing was lost, the celebration was of course spared.

Song Tongzhi (formerly the county magistrate Song) learned that Yang Qiuchi was very happy and surprised when he was a juren in high school. However, Yang Qiuchi brought too many surprises and didn't care about this one.

Song Tongzhi and others asked Yang Qiuchi to continue to participate in the imperial examination and palace examination, strive for the title of the Golden List, and glorify his ancestors. Yang Qiuchi said that he had signed up for the Ministry of Personnel's major selection, hoping that there would be a vacancy so that he could become an official. This surprised Song Tongzhi and others again.

The Ming Dynasty was able to become an official, but it was more difficult than being an official in the Jinshi. Song Tongzhi was a little worried about whether Yang Qiuchi could take the big lead. Even if he took the lead, it would be a headache to choose a person with a lack of money. But no matter what, it would always be good to have an official position.

Yang Qiuchi told Song Tongzhi that last time he and Song Yuner made a bet that Yang Qiuchi won, and the bet was to let Song Yuner be his personal bodyguard and go to serve as an official with him.

Yang Qiuchi was very worried that Song Tongzhi would not agree. Unexpectedly, Song Tongzhi agreed very happily, and seemed to be very happy. Yang Qiuchi was excited and couldn't understand what medicine was sold in the old fox gourd.

Since Song Tongzhi agreed, of course, Han, the mother of Song Yuner, was not easy to refuse. Besides, although Han couldn't bear to part with her daughter, he also knew the importance of Yang Qiuchi to their Song family.

In the blink of an eye, it was the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, that is, the day when the Kitchen God Bodhisattva came to heaven to tell him good things, the appointment of the Ministry of Personnel was brought down. Yang Qiuchi was appointed as the magistrate of Qingxi County, Yuanzhou, Huguang Town, and the seventh rank.

After seeing the appointment, Yang Qiuchi felt a little sad. Bai Sumei was in Yunnan, but she was an official in Huguang. If she was not together, how could she take care of them?

Yang Qiuchi, the appointment of the Ministry of Personnel, was issued through the prefect, so Song Tongzhi already knew the content of the appointment and took Song Yuner to Yang'er to congratulate him.

Yang Qiuchi was appointed as the official in Huguang Zhenyuanzhou, which is now the mountainous area of ​​Guizhou Province. Guizhou was established in the 11th year of Yongle (1413). Before that, Guizhou's boundaries were divided into Yunnan, Sichuan and Huguang, among which Zhenyuanzhou belonged to Huguang.

Song Tongzhi had been in the officialdom for many years and knew that what Yang Qiuchi got this time was indeed a waste. Zhenyuanzhou was a remote village in the Ming Dynasty, with high mountains and deep mountains and strong people. Qingxi County was a county under Zhenyuanzhou, which was even more miserable.

Song Tongzhi told Yang Qiuchi that he was sent to such places to be an official, which not only did not have much money, but might affect his future career. He asked Yang Qiuchi to spend some money to find the Ministry of Personnel and change the official position.

Yang Qiuchi knew that this was determined based on the needs of the auditors of Jianwen and could not be replaced by himself. This place is high and deep, and it is poor and remote. That's right, only such a place can hide important figures of Jianwen and even Emperor Jianwen himself. If Emperor Jianwen runs to Yangzhou city to hide, it will take less than an hour to catch him.

Besides, it is already very surprising that I am a magistrate of the magistrate who is a 25-year-old and can be directly magistrate of the seventh rank. Although the place where I serve as an official is a bit bad, it is more in line with the conventional rules. If it is a good place, it will easily attract attention.

Song Yuner has been with Yang Qiuchi for a while. Of course, she knew that the reason why Yang Qiuchi was depressed was not because of the miserable place, but because she was worried about Bai Sumei's exile, so she asked her father Song Tongzhi how far away Qingxi County, Yuanzhou, Huguang Town is from Yunnan. Song Tongzhi said that it was in Huguang and was close to the border of Yunnan. In the past, it was Yunnan.

When Yang Qiuchi heard this, he was so close, he was immediately happy. As long as the Yunnan Censor Kang Huai decided to set Bai Sumei and his daughter near Huguang, he would almost be together.

Now, Lord Gu, the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture, introduced it. It should not be difficult to spend some money at that time, and hope arises in my heart.

Yang's mother was very happy. Her son became an official. Although she was far to the southwest, she was also outstanding and glorious.

Feng Xiaoxue was even more excited. Unexpectedly, after experiencing the disaster of the strange wind, her husband was not only very nice to him, but also lucky, making money and becoming an official, and now he has become a seventh-rank county magistrate of Zhenzong.

In the minds of ordinary people, this magistrate is a very important local official. His husband became a high-ranking official, which was something that Feng Xiaoxue dared not think about before.

While happy, everyone began to discuss what Yang Qiuchi would take to take on his post. Of course, his wife Feng Xiaoxue had to go with him. The two concubines should have gone together, but unfortunately, they were kidnapped by the mysterious masked female thief. Yang's mother was old and tired from the journey. In addition, Yang Qiuchi's official place was not a good place, and it was not as prosperous as Ningguo Mansion, so Yang's mother stayed in her hometown, with Song Tongzhi and others there, and they also took care of each other.

Of course, the twenty guards had to protect Yang Qiuchi. Yang's mother had the escort guards who helped the magistrate Zhou to protect the hospital. However, Yang Qiuchi was still worried and left two female guards in the Jinyiwei to protect Yang's mother. The other three female guards including Xia Ping protected Feng Xiaoxue to go to Huguang with her to take up her post. In addition, she was her newly hired female bodyguard Song Yuner.

On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, even if the New Year begins, Yang's mother and Feng Xiaoxue start to organize New Year's Day. Although the two concubines are gone, they still have to celebrate this year.

Three days later, Mr. Yang, the old man from Yangjia Village, Guangde County, sent a housekeeper to send an invitation to Yang Qiuchi, inviting Yang Qiuchi's family to Yangjia Village for the New Year.

The housekeeper's surname is Pang. Although he is in his fifties, he looks quite strong and capable. He told Yang Qiuchi that Old Master Yang was very happy to learn that Yang Qiuchi had been a juren and became the magistrate of Qingxi County, Huguang. He felt that this was a good thing for the family to shine on his ancestors, so he sincerely invited Yang Qiuchi and his family to their hometown to celebrate the New Year and sacrifice to their ancestors together.

Yang Qiuchi was a little funny. Mr. Yang forced himself to take a concubine and have a son. If he couldn't give birth to a son, he would not allow himself to enter the Yang family's ancestral hall. He thought he had lost the face of the Yang family. Now he said that he would be the best for the Yang family to be proud of his ancestors and asked him to go back to worship his ancestors.

Although Mr. Yang is a bit philanthropic, Yang Qiuchi does not hate him - if an elder forces you to take a concubine, although you will be a little amused, you will not hate him, because for men, this requirement is not annoying.

Yang Qiuchi agreed very happily, and before that, he happened to go to Hejia Village to see his house.

Butler Pang has been a housekeeper in Old Master Yang's house for many years. Yang Qiuchi resurrected the corpse and replaced Yang Shitou when he was a child. When he was a child, he was beaten and scolded by Butler Pang.

This time, Butler Pang was ordered to invite Yang Qiuchi to go back to his hometown to visit his relatives. He was already ready to take revenge on him. Now he is a master. Even if he doesn't beat and scold him, these rolling eyes and sarcasm are definitely indispensable. Unexpectedly, Yang Qiuchi did not mention the past. Butler Pang was a little surprised and even more fortunate.

Yang Qiuchi invited Yang's mother and Feng Xiaoxue out and said that they were both very happy. Although Yang's mother was a little resentful of the coldness of Mr. Yang to them before, she remembered that Mr. Yang did not allow them to go to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors before, but now she sent a request to them to go back to worship their ancestors. She was considered a mistake. Mr. Yang is the patriarch of Yangjia Village, can she still expect him to kneel down and kowtow? Besides, he just did things according to the rules, and there was nothing particularly excessive.

My son is now a juren and a magistrate. What a glorious thing it is to return to his hometown. Therefore, Yang's mother accepted the invitation from Mr. Yang.

On this day, Song Yuner was also having fun in Yang's house. He heard Yang Qiuchi say he was going to the countryside to celebrate the Spring Festival. He immediately shouted that he wanted to go with him. Of course, Yang Qiuchi didn't object, but he asked Song Yuner to go back and ask his father Song Tongzhi.

When Song Yuner went back and asked, Song Tongzhi not only agreed. Instead, he proposed to go together, saying that Old Master Yang was his same year. He had been fascinated for a long time and happened to take the opportunity to visit him together. He decided to set off together to Yangjia Village the next morning.

Seeing that the matter was so easy, Mr. Pang was able to get things done. Not only did he invite the main owner, but he also invited the same year as Mr. Song, the fifth-rank co-master of Ningguo Mansion, was even more happy.

He was also a little strange when he was happy. Yang Qiuchi was really so crowded. He ignored his past grudges? Butler Pang was still a little worried.

After dinner and chatting in the living room, Butler Pang looked around the bush and found out that Lord Yang had been swept away by the monster wind. After he came back, he lost his memory and could not remember anything before. Butler Pang was relieved.

Yang's mother asked about the changes in Yangjia Village after Butler Pang left. Butler Pang said happily.

Yang Qiuchi was a little curious about Mr. Yang who forced him to take a concubine, and also asked about Mr. Yang. Butler Pang knew that Yang Qiuchi had amnesia, so he gave Yang Qiuchi a rough and comprehensive introduction.

After listening to the words of Butler Pang, Yang Qiuchi realized that the old man Yang had a total of one wife and two concubines. The original wife gave birth to a son named Yang Qingshui, the second concubine gave birth to a daughter, and the third concubine also gave birth to a son.

Old Master Yang loved the most. Unfortunately, shortly after the third concubine's son was born, the third concubine had a problem with his head. He was crazy and took off his clothes and asked for a love interest in front of Yang Qingshui and other men. That night, after the third concubine returned to normal, she was hanged in shame.

Since then, the small attic where the concubine, the third concubine, was often haunted. Old Master Yang originally lived in that small attic. He saw the ghost of the third concubine standing beside his bed and laughing. He was scared to death and never dared to live in the small attic again. From then on, the courtyard gate was locked and no one dared to enter again.

It turned out that there was a haunted house in Yang's mansion, and so many stories were revealed. Yang Qiuchi vaguely felt that this time he went to Yangjia Village, it was probably not as simple as worshiping ancestors during the New Year.

The next day, Yang Qiuchi asked someone to prepare several large boxes of gifts, asking Nangong Xiong and other guards to carry them. The crowd rode horses and set off in a sedan chair. They first arrived in Guangde County, had lunch, and then set out to Yangjia Village. This Yangjia Village is not far from the county town, and it took about two hours to arrive.

There is a pavilion at the entrance of the village. Yang's mother ordered the sedan chair to stop. This time, her son returned to his hometown, and she might not have returned to her hometown for a long time, so she wanted to come down to take a look.

So the team stopped, Yang Qiuchi turned over and got off the horse, Feng Xiaoxue also got out of the sedan chair, and the two supported Yang's mother, stood on the pavilion, looking at Yangjia Village in the distance. Song Yuner and Song Tongzhi also followed into the cold hall.

This Yangjia Village is a small mountain village located halfway up the mountain and is built along the mountain. Almost all of the family members are members of the Yang family. A small stream winds down from the mountains, and there are some terraces on both sides of the stream.

There were some earthblocks scattered between the terraced fields. The heavy snow had not melted a few days ago. On the ridges of the terraced fields, there were still residual snow on the soilblocks and by the stream, reflecting a dismal white light.

Yang Qiuchi didn't know what the earthblocks were. After careful observation, he found that they were some graves with low tombstones.

Seeing Yang Qiuchi looking at the mountain village with a novelty, she could no longer recognize that this was his hometown. Yang's mother was a little sad. She pulled Yang Qiuchi and pointed to one of the simple houses under the huge osmanthus trees beside the village, and said, "Our family used to be there. When you were a child, you were very naughty and often climbed onto the osmanthus trees to pick osmanthus."

Feng Xiaoxue asked curiously: "Mom, do you like flowers and plants, too?"

"Where is he trying to please the little girls in the village and show off his heroes."

Feng Xiaoxue smiled and looked at Yang Qiuchi.

Yang Qiuchi felt a little embarrassed when he heard Yang's mother talk about her childhood. Although this was done by Yang Shitou, who had resurrected her with a corpse, it was now counted on her own head.

"Hehehe," Song Yuner smiled, "Brother, I didn't expect you were a playboy since you were a child!"

Yang Qiuchi glared at Song Yun'er, put on a shed in his hand, and looked under the osmanthus tree. After a moment, he couldn't tell which one was where he lived since childhood, and he was too lazy to care about it anymore. He asked again: "Mom, where does Old Master Yang live?"

Before Yang's mother could answer, Mr. Pang, the butler next to him, pointed to a large mansion in Hou Village and said, "Mr. Yang, our old man's mansion is in Hou Village, where there is a big embroidery forest planted behind it."

Yang Qiuchi looked along the direction of Butler Pang's finger. Sure enough, Hou Village was lush with bamboo forests. There was a large mansion between the embroidered forests. It was surrounded by red walls, with high walls and green tiles, and countless blue brick buildings. The pavilions and towers were beautiful.

Old Master Yang is the patriarch of Yangjia Village and the most wealthy person in Yangjia Village. He was once a juren and was considered a famous gentry. It is not surprising to live in such a luxurious house.
