Daughter Reborn as the Head of the Family

Chapter 124 Ask Mr. Du to help with the census in advance

Song Jinyue took Qin Wan out of the Duke's Mansion.

After getting on the carriage, Qin Wan apologized and said, "Second Miss Song, I have caused you trouble."

His eyes were full of apology.

Now there is no one to choose from the maidservant who was brought out of the mansion for the moment by Miss Song Er, but for her sake, she still came out of the mansion to pick up her brother from the examination room.

Song Jinyue smiled and shook her head slightly, and said to reassure Qin Wan, "Miss Qin, you don't have to be so polite with me."

There were still two hours before the end of the scientific examination, so Song Jinyue ordered the carriage to go to the city inspection department first.

When the carriage stopped at the gate of the City Patrol Department, Song Jinyue asked Qin Wan to wait for her on the carriage.

She headed towards the gate of the City Patrol Department alone.

The officials of the City Patrol Department naturally recognized Song Jinyue.

Seeing her coming, he bowed his hands and asked, "Second Miss Song, I wonder why you are here to patrol the city?"

"Why?"

A group of officials were waiting at the door.

Song Jinyue shook her head slightly, took out her father's token from her arms, handed it to Master Du, and then slowly explained her purpose, "Master Du misunderstood, I came here today, but actually I have something to ask for."

Song Jinyue could see that she was nervous, so she couldn't help but comfort her softly: "Miss Qin, don't worry, I hope everything goes well for your brother."

Her eyes darkened, and she continued: "Ever since my mother came back from the prison in Jingzhao Yamen, my father always felt that my mother seemed to be a different person."

Behind them were two boys protecting them.

If these women around Shen are really as Miss Song said, their identities are strange.

Song Jinyue thanked him, then left the city inspection department, walked outside the city inspection department, and got on the carriage of the Duke's mansion.

Mr. Du really couldn't figure out why Second Miss Song would come to the Duke's Mansion for other reasons than this.

The scientific examination ended today, and the streets of the capital were already filled with crowds. The carriage of the Duke's Mansion had to stop in a side alley first.

Fortunately, His Majesty was wise and aware of his difficulties, so he secretly summoned him to the palace and asked him to conduct a census in the capital. If there were no serious faults, he would follow the ministers who came to communicate with him.

"Master Du is here."

She didn't say the rest clearly.

But my heart is still hanging in the air.

I didn't think much about it.

The dark door of the examination room slowly opened with a dull "squeak" sound.

Before she could salute, Mr. Du signaled her not to be too polite and asked: "Second Miss Song came to the city inspection department today to ask about the Duke's horses?"

But these two censuses every year are also the biggest headache for Mr. Du.

Then he can't sit back and ignore it.

This is the first time someone has come to his door and begged him to advance the census.

"If Mr. Du is in trouble, then forget it." Song Jinyue motioned to Mr. Du to return his father's token.

"The annual census in the capital will be held in about twenty days."

Today, the second Miss Song came to visit and brought the token of the Duke of Guo. I guess this is what the Duke of Guo meant.

For this reason, Mr. Du has trouble sleeping and eating day and night. If he is bribed, if someone of unknown origin among them becomes a spy or assassin.

But when Mr. Du heard about this, he always felt that there was something fishy involved. However, the case fell under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Yamen and not the City Patrol Department.

Mr. Du stood in the hall and looked at Song Jinyue who walked in.

And they are all related to the people in the court. Every time at this time, many people from the Du Mansion come to the door to clear things up.

After waiting for a short time, the official came out of the study and invited Song Jinyue in, "Second Miss Song, Mr. Du wants you to come in and talk."

Seeing her asking about this matter, Mr. Du's eyebrows furrowed even deeper.

"Thanks."

"Master Du, there is no need to be embarrassed. I just want to ask you to advance the time." Seeing Mr. Du's embarrassed look, Song Jinyue explained.

Only then did Song Jinyue and Qin Wan squeeze in towards the entrance of the examination room.

When he reached the door of the study, he stopped and motioned to Song Jinyue to wait here while he went in first to pass the message.

Hearing Song Jinyue's voice, Qin Wan looked up at Miss Song and nodded slightly.

Naturally, he can't escape his involvement.

The officer then went in to reply.

In the carriage, Qin Wan's heart was tense and she was quite uneasy.

Mr. Du looked at the token of Song Guogong in his hand, puzzled, "Second Miss Song just said it."

Song Jinyue raised her head slightly.

Saying that, Song Jinyue raised her finger and pointed in the northwest direction of Xuncheng, which was the direction of Jingzhao Yamen.

After saying this, the official led Song Jinyue towards the back house of the City Patrol Secretary.

The City Patrol Department is in charge of the capital's population and household registration, and conducts censuses twice a year to prevent thieves from entering the capital.

Song Jinyue then walked step by step towards the study. The official was waiting outside the study door.

Master Du became even more confused after hearing this.

But he just sent someone to the Duke's Mansion yesterday to deliver a letter to Manager Song, and it would take another ten days to get the results.

Injured a nobleman or a high official in the court.

It's not good to become a shield in the hands of others. If this matter spreads, wouldn't it be ridiculed? Du Qingtian, who claims to be honest and honest, is just a false reputation.

Qin Wan unconsciously held Song Jinyue's palm tightly, and there was a layer of dense sweat on her palm. She didn't notice it at all, she just raised her feet and searched for her brother in the crowd.

Something happened, but he had to bear the consequences.

The students in the examination room walked out of the examination room one by one.

Lord Du naturally understood that Nanny Zhao, who was with the mistress of the Duke's Mansion, worked with Mrs. Li to frame Miss Song. However, Mrs. Li's death was really strange, and dozens of people died in the West.

Although it is not impossible to do it in advance, he still needs to know the reason.

Then he asked the coachman to go to the examination room.

The dazzling light fell in Song Jinyue's eyes, causing her to squint slightly.

But Mr. Du never dared to accept those benefits. He secretly handed them over to His Majesty.

But Mr. Du was suspicious of what she just said.

This capital city is so big that it is inevitable that there will be some shady households and people with unknown origins.

And they are all registered one by one.

They did an autopsy and found nothing unusual.

Mr. Du returned Song Guogong's token and replied: "Don't worry, Miss Song. Tomorrow the Japanese officials will put the census on the agenda, and the census will start within three or two days."

Song Jinyue did not hide them, and said directly: "My mother found a dozen women and maids from somewhere. I want Master Du to check these people carefully when he does the census."

There are still some icicles of dew from last night hanging under the dark eaves. At this moment, the icicles are facing the sun, reflecting mottled and colorful light.

"I came to see Mr. Du for something. Is Mr. Du still there?"

When Song Jinyue entered the study, the official did not close the door to the study.

I don’t know if everything is okay with my brother.

Song Jinyue also looked at the crowd until a young man in dark blue attire embroidered with bamboo brocade slowly walked out of the tall and strict examination room under the sun.

Looking at the handsome face of the young man, there was a scholarly atmosphere.

Song Jinyue saw Qin Sheng's figure in the crowded crowd at a glance.

"elder brother!"

Qin Wan shouted urgently, forgetting to hold Song Jinyue's hand, and ran towards her brother's direction.
