The county magistrate really led people to find Nie Shicheng and the vermilion lantern spirit position in Qin Zhihong's house, so he wanted to take Qin Zhihong away. Qin Zhihong knew that he couldn't escape this time, so in order not to implicate Old Man Yang and Ziyi, he had no choice but to comply, so he said to the county order:

"Master, I'll go with you, but can you let the villain go back and get a few changes of clothes?" As he spoke, he sent someone to take out the silver ticket and secretly give it to the county master, and the county order was also afraid that Qin Zhihong's backstage was too hard, so he agreed.

So Qin Zhihong returned to his room, explained many things to Ziyi, and then took his luggage out and followed the officials.

The next day, Lian'er was still hiding on the mountain, and suddenly someone came to report that a villager had been caught under the mountain, but he claimed to be a friend of his aunt and grandmother, and he wanted to see his aunt, so the people on the mountain did not offend him, so they brought him to Lian'er.

When Lian'er saw it, it turned out to be Xu Wende, so Xu Wende told Lian'er in detail about Qin Zhihong's arrest and going to the county government yesterday. Then said to Lian'er:

"Brother and sister, Zhihong explained to Ziyi, saying that I should come here to find you first, and then go to LL County to find a martial artist named Shang Yunxiang, saying that this person can help him get out of trouble."

Lian'er actually didn't know much about Shang Yunxiang and Ma Yutang, but when Qin Zhihong came back from BJ that time, she said that she was married to Jin Lan with the two of them, but since Qin Zhihong said so, there must be a reason, so he called a few trustworthy brothers and escorted Xu Wende to LL County to find this for Brother Shang.

But Xu Wende got off the cottage, but Lian'er couldn't sit still, Qiu Laokui also knew Qin Zhihong, so he came up to persuade Lian'er:

"Uncle Qin's Ji people have their own natural appearance, aunt and grandmother don't need to panic, what we have to do now is to inquire about the news and see how Uncle Qin's case is judged, if there is any danger to people, we are not too late to make a move."

To tell the truth, although the two villages on the mountain are easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is difficult for more than 200 people to attack the county government, and it is very likely that the whole army will be wiped out.

Later, the spies under the mountain kept sending information, saying that Qin Zhihong did not admit that he was a member of the Boxers, and insisted that he did not know the previous life experience of his wife Lian'er, and although the Zhang family mobilized the county government to arrest Qin Zhihong, the purpose was only to get the secret recipe, and it was not like putting Qin Zhihong to death. And the county magistrate received instructions from above because of the previous trial of Qin Zhihong's case, so he did not dare to punish Qin Zhihong. Now the county magistrate has reported the case to the imperial court and is waiting for the next step.

Lian'er knew these situations and breathed a sigh of relief, at least she knew that Qin Zhihong was safe now, but she didn't dare to go down the mountain, but she was very anxious.

On this day, someone suddenly came to report, saying that Xu Wende took someone back to the mountain, Lian'er hurriedly went to see Xu Wende, only to see that he led a middle-aged man to the cottage, after Xu Wende's introduction, it was none other than Qin Zhihong's sworn brother, Shang Yunxiang, the master of Xingyi Boxing.

Shang Yunxiang told sù Lian'er that he used to be the former palace manager Li Lianying's nursing home, although Li Lianying is dead, but he still knows many people in the court, and he has sent someone to deal with it, and he will soon inquire about the case of Qin Zhihong in ZP County.

So Lian'er arranged for someone to settle Mr. Shang and wait for the next development of the situation.

Qin Zhihong returned to the prison again, at this time he also felt that this time he was in a catastrophe, and the trial would start tomorrow, and the imperial court would personally send someone to supervise it, and he did enshrine the spiritual position of the Boxer leaders such as Zhu Honglan, so he couldn't justify himself.

The next day, Qin Zhihong didn't have much defense, but things were very strange, the SD governor sent a supervisor, and the county magistrate's tone also turned a big corner, and said:

"After verification by this county, Qin Zhihong is indeed the cousin of Zhu Hongdeng, the leader of the Boxers, and the Qin family has nothing to do with the Boxers, and the Qin Fan who sacrificed to the imperial court, although it violates the holy ruling, but Zhu Honglan has no wife and concubine, and no heirs. After investigation, Qin Zhihong also helped Nie Shicheng, the commander of the military and military guards, to fight against foreign coalition forces when he was in a national crisis. Therefore, the county sentenced him not guilty and released him in court, but his wife Qin Jiang resisted the government, beat the official errands, and disrupted official business, which is really hard to escape, and it has been confirmed that Qin Jiang is the leader of the Boxer Rebellion, and the aunt Qin Zhihong quickly recalled his wife to Fufa. ”

Although Qin Zhihong felt that it was a little inappropriate for the government to attribute all the blame to Lian'er at this moment, but this result was also the best of both worlds, the guilty person could not be caught, and the person caught was not guilty, and he immediately understood in his heart that someone was secretly helping, but it was unknown who it was.

This case, I learned about it in such a hurry, and Qin Zhihong later got information from the cottage, which was because the eldest brother Shang Yunxiang was in the back to deal with the important ministers in the court. But there is one thing that Qin Zhihong and others don't know:

That is, the Qing Dynasty officials and soldiers already had many anti-Qing ideas at this time, and the former governor of SD was Yuan Shikai, and later after the Guangxu Emperor and the Empress Dowager Cixi died one after another, the regent removed him from his post and sent him back to his hometown. But Yuan Shikai's henchmen are still there, and Yuan's position in the Beiyang Army is still irreplaceable, especially in SD, when Yuan Shikai reported to the imperial court to compensate Nie Shicheng's family and rehabilitate Nie, and Qin Zhihong found Nie Shicheng's pistol and spiritual position when he searched for the back of the government, so he was naturally grateful, and he must be Nie Shicheng's close person, so he took more care of him. This is naturally unexpected by everyone.

Lian'er was happy when she learned that Qin Zhihong was acquitted, but when she heard that she had become a guilty body, she couldn't see her husband, but she didn't sigh sadly, and even cried quietly when no one was around.

After dinner that day, Lian'er was mourning alone in the house, when someone suddenly knocked on the door, Lian'er couldn't help but be a little angry, and said to the people outside the door:

"It's night, is there anything you can't talk about tomorrow?"

But the people outside the door didn't answer, they still knocked on the door, Lian'er was furious, so she hurriedly got up, and wanted to open the door to give a punch to the person at the door, but as soon as she opened the door, she was completely stunned, as if she was in a dream, it was no one else standing in front of the door, it was Qin Zhihong!

Lian'er threw herself into Qin Zhihong's arms and cried, and whispered:

"I thought I would never see you again......" Saying that, the crying became louder and louder, Qin Zhihong suddenly felt ashamed, so he carried Lian'er into the house, sat down, and said:

"How can you! I'm not here to see you? ”

Lian'er was still sobbing and said, "But I want to go home with you......"

Qin Zhihong said solemnly: "This has to be considered in the long run, isn't it a sheep into the tiger's mouth if you want to go back?" Brother Shang also told me, now that the Qing court is in danger, it won't last long, you stay in the cottage and wait for the situation to change, and you can go home. ”

Lian'er pouted, "When will it be?" If the Qing Dynasty doesn't fall for a year, I will still be a female bandit here for the first year! ”

Qin Zhihong couldn't help but laugh and said, "What's wrong with this?" It's good to drink five or six here, and when you go home, you have to wait for your father-in-law and me to drink and talk every day. ”

Lian'er was not angry, and said: "But I wonder, why did I break into a pervert like you in the cottage, why didn't anyone come to report it!" ”

Qin Zhihong was even more proud, and said: "This emperor came to the harem to see the concubine, I asked the eunuchs to report him before he dared to report, I don't want to allow it, even if your personal palace maid, she doesn't have the courage to do so." ”

Lian'er couldn't help but take a sip of Qin Zhihong, but she was a beautiful girl, and Qin Zhihong was also in a state of flux.

On the second day, Qin Zhihong was about to leave, Lian'er asked Qin Zhihong why he was in such a hurry to leave, Qin Zhihong said:

"I'm out to buy medicine, I'm going to see you by the way, I can't delay the trip, I'll come to see you when I have time." You, just be your mountain king, and wait for the situation to change. ”

No matter how reluctant to give up, Qin Zhihong still went down the mountain. However, the last words made Lian'er ponder, thinking: Although the revolutionaries are committing crimes everywhere now, the Qing Dynasty still seems to be difficult to shake, when will she be able to go home? It is better to learn from the revolutionaries and kill the county order, once it is a hundred, and then a new county order may not be related to something.

In this way, Lian'er sent someone down the mountain to inquire about the news, mainly the daily life and daily behavior habits of the county order, and the brothers in the cottage, including Qiu Laokui, also thought that Lian'er just wanted to know the attitude of the government, and did not expect that Lian'er had the idea of assassinating the county official, so she didn't ask anymore.

Time flies, the summer heat gradually recedes, the trees begin to turn yellow, and the Daixi River also ushers in the autumn season of the year. The Qin family is still living a peaceful life, and Qin Zhihong also takes Ziyi and Old Man Yang to the mountain from time to time to visit Lian'er. Thinking that the children were still young, they were afraid that they would leak the news, so they didn't bring their two sons. But every time she talked to her about the children's usual play, Lian'er burst into tears, after all, what mother doesn't love her children?

The longer the time, the more homesick Lian'er becomes, especially in the Mid-Autumn Festival, although her husband has just visited her and gone down the mountain, but every festive season, she misses her relatives, especially when she hasn't seen her son Ruiming for a long time. Thinking of this, I can't help but hate the county order, so a thought flashed in her mind, she thought, I have inquired about the living habits of the county order many times, but I have not been able to find a good opportunity, and today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the county order will definitely not go out at home, if you do it at this time, it will definitely make the other party defenseless, and the success rate is very great, but in order not to implicate the brother of the cottage, she decided to go down the mountain alone to assassinate the county order.

Saying that she put on a night dress, and then put on a coat outside, pretending to go to patrol the mountains and check the sentry, no one in the cottage dared to ask, and when she arrived at the door of the cottage, Lian'er just said that she wanted to go to Dongzhai to see, and the little minion didn't ask again, so she opened the door and let her go.

In addition to the cottage going down the mountain, he took off his coat and went to the county seat alone, passing through Hedong Village, she didn't dare to go home, for fear of alarming her father and husband. She knew that these two men were also practicing their families, and even if they sneaked into the house quietly, it would be difficult not to be noticed by the two masters, so she gritted her teeth and went directly into the city, thinking that when she assassinated the county order, she could go home openly.
