All Hail Cousin Brother

Kong Qing knelt to the ground with a thud, his body trembled like a sieve, his face was ashen, his mouth trembled and his voice trembled: "Shi, Shizi, you, your hair..."

"Hair?" Song Mingzhao was stunned for a while: "What's wrong with the hair?"

Tears suddenly burst out of his eyes, Kong Qing's throat was so choked, and his mouth kept shaking, and he couldn't even speak.

Song Mingzhao got up and walked to the side of the book case. He set up a small case. On the case was a basin of water, which was used as a spare ink to clean his hands. As soon as he lowered his head, he saw a clear reflection in the copper basin. Silky gray hair, with silver threads mixed on the temples, it looks like it's getting old before it's too old.

He was stunned for a long time.

In the nightmare, "Song Mingzhao" turned pale overnight after learning the truth.

In the nightmare, "Song Mingzhao" also suffered from heart disease.

Song Mingzhao had convinced himself countless times that the "Song Mingzhao" in the nightmare was not him, and the murderer who hurt Yu Youyao and killed Yu Youyao was not him either.

That person, not him.

He will not hurt Yu Youyao.

But the many similarities between nightmares and reality gradually pushed him to a point of no return.

Song Mingzhao giggled: "No matter whether it's a dream or a reality, it's just a delusion after all."

Kong Qing looked at the prince, his face was pale and bleak, and he was very worried: "You, did you have a heart attack again yesterday? Why don't you ask a doctor to come over..."

"Nothing, don't make a statement." Song Mingzhao sat back on the desk again.

He took a few pieces of letter paper, spread it on the desk, and pressed it with a paperweight. When he picked up the pen and dipped it in ink, the hand holding the pen suddenly stopped, and his eyes fell on the Fang Duan inkstone.

The lotus pond mirrored moon inkstone, the color is blue and gray, it is an old inkstone produced in Guangdong, the color of the inkstone is moon-white, and it is slightly blue. It is a good fish brain jelly.

But it was the only time between him and Yu Youyao that there was a serious exchange of respect.

When he got this Duan Inkstone, he was very happy. At first, he was reluctant to use it, but in the dead of night, he inevitably took it out to play with.

Later, I felt that this Duan Inkstone could not be taken out of my hand and could not be separated from my eyes. I had to place it in a place where I could see it all the time, so I felt at ease, so I used this inkstone all the time.

Every time he runs out of ink, he cleans it in time and never fakes the hands of others.

In their spare time, they will also be raised in mountain spring water, and then waxed with wax oil for maintenance.

Song Mingzhao dipped in ink and began to write a letter.

In the letter, he only wrote about the trivial matters in managing Dehua after he arrived in Dehua. At the end of the letter, he only left the words "be safe and don't think about it", and did not mention the rest.

After writing the letter, Song Mingzhao dried the pen and ink, took the envelope, folded the letter paper, put it in the envelope, and took out the fire paint, and used the fire paint to seal the opening of the envelope.

Kong Qing was still tangled, why did Shizi lose his hair half-white overnight, and he was both worried and uncomfortable.

Song Mingzhao handed the letter to Kong Qing: "Take the letter to the post station and send it back to the Duke of Zhenguo."

Kong Qing was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "Master Shizi, how did you make this happen? Quanzhou has been under full martial law, can't the news be sent out? Why are you still..."

Song Mingzhao said in a low voice: "Quanzhou is haunted by pirates and pirates. It is suspected that pirates and Japanese pirates are making waves. Because Quanzhou is close to the sea and the sea routes are in all directions, the purpose of martial law is to prevent pirates and Japanese pirates from attacking and harassing. Not all information cannot be sent out, otherwise it will easily cause Panic, Quanzhou has long been in chaos."

Quanzhou is rich and prosperous along the coast, and Japanese pirates frequently harass him. Last year, Japanese pirates attacked Dehua. Before reaching Quanzhou City, they were beaten by Lord Ye and fled.

Therefore, Jiazhou Prefecture banned Quanzhou under the pretense of Wang Yang thief entering the city to murder and set fire.

In order to prevent the news in the city from leaking, the letters entering and leaving Quanzhou must have been reviewed by the government and confirmed to be correct before they are sent out.

Kong Qing understood after thinking about it, but was still a little worried: "However, your every move is being monitored. If you send a letter hastily, will you be scared by the grass?"

Song Mingzhao shook his head: "I did earlier, but now I don't."

Kong Qing is unknown.

Song Mingzhao said: "When I first came to Quanzhou, it was the time when Jiazhou Prefecture was most afraid of me. At this time, rushing to send a letter would definitely cause him a lot of chaos. He didn't even dare to let me into the city, so he sent me directly. Moralization."

The excuse is also good. The magistrate was mediocre and inactive, so that Dehua was in chaos, and the magistrate was urgently needed to take over the overall situation.

"I was busy with official business in the yamen, and I was so exhausted all day, that I didn't even have the mood to write a letter from the family, which confused the audio and visual of Jiazhou Prefecture. Jiazhou Prefecture sent people to stare at me. , to take full control of my every move and make him relax his vigilance against me."

Kong Qing suddenly realized.

Song Mingzhao continued: "I am the prince of the Duke of Zhenguo, a rookie champion trained by the royalist party, and I have an amazing reputation. The family and the royalist party have high hopes for me. I was sent to Dehua, and it is impossible for my family. If you don’t pay attention to me, if you don’t contact your family for a long time, the family will try every means to send people over to inquire about my news.

"Sending a letter at this time is the best time. It can not only dispel the doubts in Jiazhou's heart, but also appease the family. If you want this letter, it will definitely be sent to the Zhenguohoufu."

Kong Qing still has doubts: "However, letters to and from Quanzhou must be checked by the government, Shizi..."

Song Mingzhao said: "It's just a letter from home. If you want to check it, let them check it. The Jiazhou government won't easily touch me. I'm safe in Quanzhou."

Kong Qing can't figure out his head, why is Shizi so sure that Jiazhou will not do anything to him? And suddenly sending a letter, really not for the purpose of sending a letter, just an ordinary letter from home?

Song Mingzhao smiled and did not explain.

The problem is not the content of the letter, but the paint of the letter.

Fire lacquer is a secret recipe at home, and it adds a special fragrance. This kind of fire lacquer is only used for some important secret messages in the family, and it is usually not used.

Once the lacquer is damaged, the incense will seep into the paper. Others do not know the incense and naturally cannot smell the difference, but my father will smell it before he spreads the letter.

It is natural to know that this letter has been opened.

Father could have guessed that an ordinary letter from the family should be sealed with the family secret paint?

His identity is different, that is, there are pirates and Japanese pirates in Quanzhou, and as the prince of Zhen Guohou's mansion, he sent a letter to his family, why should he be inspected by the government?

With all these doubts coming, my father could naturally know that Quanzhou had changed.

The world does not know what kind of heritage the family has inherited for several generations, and how can they know the various mysteries in it?
