Chapter 144: Siege
King Guangchang knew that he had to find a good excuse to get things in the way. Anyway, he appeared in front of Miss Su under a false name, as long as he didn't show up again later, Su Zhongying wanted to find him unlucky, and there was nowhere to find him.
Su Zhongying's father, Zhenxi Hou, is forming an alliance with his brother King Ninghua, although Su Zhongying does not know about the alliance, but King Guangchang feels that with his status as the nephew of Su Zhongying's eldest sister-in-law's sister-in-law, it should not be difficult to pass the test. Su Zhongying has a good relationship with his brother and sister-in-law, and he always has to give his sister-in-law a little face.
Thinking of this, the king of Guangchang said politely: "This is a misunderstanding, I am definitely not a disciple!" My mother once had the help of the eldest lady of the Cai family, but unfortunately I never had the opportunity to thank her. I just met Miss Cai by chance, and I wanted to go up to say hello, but I thought that there was a difference between men and women, and I was afraid that it would not be very convenient, so I dispelled the idea again. Presumably, it was my hesitant appearance that made this little brother see it and misunderstand. β
His words sounded very credible, and Su Zhongying's expression relaxed slightly. At this time, Qin Jian suddenly spoke: "You said that your surname is Qi? You are the in-law of Lord Bian, the governor of Huguang?
Su Zhongying reacted. That's right, relying only on his niece's words, he shouldn't easily believe that this person is a reliable son of a family. Besides, even if it is a child of a family, a private meeting with the daughter of the boudoir in the private room of the teahouse is not a virtuous move. He stared at King Guangchang, waiting to listen to the other party's family background so that he could make a judgment. I'm afraid that the marriage between my niece and my nephew can't be done, but if this kind of ugly thing happens, it is natural to calm down the situation as soon as possible and minimize the impact. If this frivolous young man is really an innocent person as he said, since his niece has affection for him, it may not be impossible to achieve a marriage.
However, how could the king of Guangchang say that he was looking at the county and his father's ancestor? His name of "the third son of Qi" was completely fake!
But if King Guangchang didn't say it, it didn't mean that Miss Su wouldn't be enthusiastic about defending her sweetheart, she was anxious to tell everything she knew. King Guangchang complained bitterly in his heart, but he could only echo Miss Su's statement, saying that what she said was right.
Qin Jian pondered for a moment: "Is it the Qi family in Wuchang? I do know a Qi Jingxing who has been the prefect of Changzhou, and I heard that he is the son of the Wuchang family, what do you have to do with him?"
King Guangchang had never heard of Qi Jingxing, the prefect of Changzhou, but what Qin Jian could remember was the son of a family, and he must be from a big family. How many big clans can a Wuchang have? He could only follow Qin Jian's tone and say, "It's my uncle." β
Qin Jian raised his eyebrows: "I really didn't expect that you were Qi Jingxing's nephew?" Qi Jingxing was beheaded by the imperial court for committing corruption last year, and I heard that he had the highest official position in his clan, and the clansmen relied on him in the past, and he was very beautiful in his hometown, but as soon as he had an accident, no one from his relatives went to Beijing to collect the body. You went to Beijing to take care of his funeral? You have a good conscience, but it's too late. β
Everyone in the room was stunned. King Guangchang's face turned green.
Miss Su looked at him in disbelief, only to feel that her eyes were dark. She didn't know the true family background of "Cousin Qi" in the past, but she was born in Wuchang, and she was a big family, and her uncle was an official to the prefect, so it was enough for such a family to marry the daughter of the Liang family. This Qi Jingxing's background matches the family background of "Cousin Qi", but it is really too far from what she expected! The official position is secondary, the key is that he has an uncle who was beheaded for his crimes, and it is impossible for the two families to marry no matter what. Her hopes were dashed, and she almost collapsed into the girl's arms.
Su Zhongying sneered, and drank to the eldest niece with a calm face: "Useless things, don't you want to go back with me?!" When the eldest girl Su moved to his side with the support of the girl, he showed an unkind look at King Guangchang.
King Guangchang's heart sank, and he began to regret it in his heart, he had known that he would take a few more people out, and at this time he could also have manpower to ask for help in time.
Su Zhongying said to Qin Jian: "Brother Jian, my little uncle will borrow your little maid for a while." My attendants are waiting downstairs to have your servant call my men up and hire a car for him on the side of the street. β
Qin Jian knew what he wanted to do, and glanced at the imprint. The imprint that had been standing silently on his side immediately turned around and went downstairs. As for the guy in the teahouse who was originally standing with him, he quietly shrunk his neck and took two steps back.
If it weren't for the fact that he didn't want to be noticed, the guy would have wanted to sneak away a long time ago. He was only knocked open by the unsightly guest, and the guest found that his niece was meeting with a foreign man. It was definitely not his intention! This kind of selfishness of a big family has always been kept secret, so don't cause any trouble to him and the teahouse. He's really just a little guy innocently passing by!
Su Zhongying actually didn't care about him for a while, but Qin Jian stopped him and said softly: "Little Second Brother, may I ask how many guests are in the private rooms in the corridor here?
The man was agitated, and hurriedly replied: "Except for the private rooms of the two of you, the rest of the private rooms have been booked by a guest, and they have been booked until the end of the day (14:21 to 15 o'clock in the afternoon), but he has not come yet, and I am afraid he cannot rebook it for you." β
Qin Jian said gently: "It's okay. I don't know who booked so many private rooms, but I don't think I don't know who I am. I also asked the little second brother to tell the shopkeeper to temporarily seal the corridor here, not to let outsiders move, and not to let other guests in. After we have settled the matter, we will pay the amount of money that should be paid to the teahouse. If the guest who booked the room came, tell him that I am Qin Jian from the Cheng'en Mansion, and I will disturb his invitation today, please forgive him, and I will hold a banquet to make amends for him another day, and ask him to sell me a face. β
Su Zhongying reacted and hurriedly said, "How do you want you to come forward? Brother Jian, let's report my name." "He should pay the money.
Qin Jian said, "Little uncle, don't come out." If this kind of thing spreads out, what good will it do to your family's reputation? If you still want to think about the future of Sister Su, let me be this bad guy. β
Su Zhongying subconsciously glanced at her niece, sighed, and said no more.
The guy hurried to report to the shopkeeper, but he was thinking in his heart, the little prince of the Chengenhou Mansion called the guest the little uncle, presumably the latter was the second master of the Zhenxi Hou Mansion. My good girl, it turned out to be the daughter of the Hou Mansion in Zhenxi who was having a private meeting with a foreign man!
The guy ran downstairs with excitement on his face, passed by the imprint and his party, and saw the tall entourage of the group of people behind the imprint, and two who were obviously military attachΓ©s in the army, he immediately shrunk his neck, thinking that it was better for him not to shout everywhere, just tell the shopkeeper in private, so as not to offend the nobles and not be good.
How did Imprint know what thoughts were going on in the heart of this guy he had used? After he brought Su Zhongying's entourage with him, he reported by the way, he had hired a car to wait on the side of the street, and then retreated to the side.
Of the four entourages brought by Su Zhongying, two were domestic servants and two were subordinates. He ordered two servants to escort Miss Su and the girl home by car, and when they got home, they let Miss Su stay in their yard, not to go out again, and not to see anyone again, and when he returned home, he reported the incident to his brother and sister-in-law, and then dealt with it.
Although the two servants didn't know what was going on, when they saw this scene, they also knew that the situation was not good, so they hurriedly agreed and went to invite Miss Su again.
Miss Su's feet were weak, and she relied on the girl's support to keep her from falling. She choked up and begged Su Zhongying: "Uncle, I really didn't do anything, just spare me, don't tell my parents." β
Su Zhongying didn't have the face to forgive her niece in front of her niece, but said with a straight face: "If you have something to say, go home and talk about it!"
Miss Su cried bitterly, with unspeakable remorse in her heart. She had a grudge against "Cousin Qi", if he had made his family background clear as soon as possible, how could she have thoughts that she shouldn't have?
Her girl supported her, feeling sorry for the young lady, and couldn't help but say to Su Zhongying: "Second master, our girl was tricked out!" Young Master Qi asked someone to secretly hand a letter to her in the jewelry shop. The girl was originally suspicious, and she didn't say that she had to go to the appointment, but when she got out of the shop, she saw Young Master Qi waiting outside the door, and he was also going to bring the girl here. Our girl is just soft-hearted, and she can't refute her cousin's kindness. β
Su Zhongying's gaze at King Guangchang was even more unkind. King Guangchang felt more and more that someone was deliberately fixing himself, and gritted his teeth and said: "I haven't written any letters! The letter received by Sister Su was not written by me!"
Qin Jian sneered: "If you didn't write it, could it be that Miss Su wrote it herself?" Qi Gongzi, you are a man, you should be responsible." Since you can ask people out, you should also take your own responsibilities at this time, and don't blame the girl for everything!"
Miss Su couldn't help crying bitterly. Su Zhongying still felt sorry for her niece in the end, so she hurriedly asked the girl to help her and left with two entourages. The niece's problem should be left to my brother and sister-in-law. He took care of the disciple first.
Miss Su's master and servant left, and only Su Zhongying and Qin Jian were left at the scene. Qin Jian asked the imprint to go to the door of his sister's private room to guard, but he said to Su Zhongying: "This person still dares to think about the daughter of the Cai family, is he also a letter to the Cai family? β
Su Zhongying knew that this nephew was thinking about him, and at this time his niece had already left, so it didn't matter if outsiders interfered. He patted Qin Jian on the shoulder, and then ordered one of his subordinates to go to the nearby city guards to call someone. It's just a lesson to a disciple of the Cai family's daughter who may not know about it, just let the city guards under the Marquis of Yunyang come out, and there is no need to disturb the weak girl in the boudoir.
After a while, the city guards stationed nearby arrived, led by a nephew of the Marquis of Yunyang, who was on duty today and inspected the Drum Tower. Listening to the people sent by Su Zhongying, he caught a disciple who was following his sister, and immediately brought more than a dozen brothers with good skills.
King Guangchang's face turned pale and he looked at the big men who walked into the private room, and his legs trembled. Qin Jian had already dragged Su Zhongying out of the house and went to the private room he had booked, and the next thing had nothing to do with them. But Su Zhongying refused to stand still, and instructed his two subordinates: "Give me a beating for me, you don't have to hurt his life, just break his leg." Then beat his little white face into a pig's head for me!"
When Qin Jian and Su Zhongying walked into the private room where Qin Hanzhen and Qin Jinhua were, the tragic screams of King Guangchang had already sounded in the corridor.
Qin Jinhua greeted his little uncle without knowing anything and greeted him with a smile. Qin Hanzhen was secretly wiping his sweat and exchanged a look with Qin Jian.
Immediately afterward, they heard an incomparably penetrating scream, and then someone smashed open the glass window and shouted: "Stop! I am the clan! I am the king of Guangchang! You can't beat me!"
