Although Qin Yao is ranked seventh, he is strong in martial arts and righteous, with a wide range of connections, and everyone is very convinced of him, it can be said that in the Jinlan Club, in terms of prestige and status, he is the second in command after the eldest brother.

"Brothers and sisters, this matter is indeed tricky, and it is normal for everyone to hesitate, but it is too cold to send people away like this."

His words were very calm and gentle, and they also hit everyone's mind: they didn't want to kick people out of the city and send them to death, but they didn't want to affect the entire Jinlan Society.

"Seventh brother, we can't just drive them back to their hometowns - if they fall into the hands of the imperial court again, we will be uneasy!"

The fourth looked down at the calluses in his palm, patted his thigh and said resolutely: "Let's try to hide people." ”

Everyone echoed each other, some of them were sincere, and some of them were flickering in their eyes and insincere.

Qin Yao had long expected this situation, and after making a fuss, he said: "The twelfth sister is also a benevolent person to save people, and she can't let her work be wasted - so I ask you that she and I will be responsible for this matter." ”

He looked around, sincere and convincing, "We will definitely find a proper way to solve this problem, please trust us for a while." ”

Qin Yao's words did not make it clear what to do, but everyone felt reassured and agreed.

After the gauze tent coughed lightly, Jing Yu spoke, "Since this is the case, this matter will be handed over to the seventh brother and the twelfth sister." ”

The first thing that made a lot of noise, but finally decided on it.

Qin Yao took a deep look at the figure of the man behind the gauze tent, and continued: "Big brother, the second thing has to do with those people upstairs.

"Oh? What they discussed was nothing more than an old topic, but someone had been jumping up and down recently, so the three Yangs above couldn't sit still. ”

Jing Yu hid behind the curtain and laughed softly: "This so-called peaceful and prosperous world. It's not glamorous everywhere, there are floods and bandits, there are officials who force the people to rebel, but what these adults care about the most will always be the word East Palace. ”

"Donggong An is not chaotic, and the civil officials will fight for it no matter what."

Qin Yao remembered the secret discussion of the few people upstairs, and couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.

"It's already a dead Xie Jin, and they are still going forward...... Should this be said to be integrity, or is it betting with one's life? ”

Jingyu's tone was sarcastic, but with a complexity that was elusive to him himself—the civil officials supported the prince. This behavior was the same as his father's.

It's all the same, rather bend than bend, and righteousness is not afraid of death

However, in his true heart, he may not be able to compare with Jingqing - he still kept the courtiers when he knew that Emperor Jianwen had been destroyed, and he assassinated the usurping tyrant.

And these people in front of him, although they have the heart to defend the prince, but they are only to maintain the orthodox name, if Zhu Di really wants to be the king of Han, I am afraid that someone is willing to smear his brains. More people are about to change their ways.

"In any case, Xie Jin died to protect the prince - Zhu Di, a tyrant, has to act like a murderer even if he kills, and Ji Gang, an executioner, he uses it easily. In the future, it will definitely be cooked by rabbits and dogs! ”

Jingyu said that this happened on the thirteenth day of the first month at the beginning of last year, and the commander of Jinyiwei made Ji Gang submit his prisoner registration according to the routine. ”

Xie Jin has always defended the crown prince Zhu Gaochi. He was also the one who was ordered to write the edict of the prince, so the Han king Zhu Gaoxu hated Xie Jin and repeatedly set up a situation to frame him. Zhu Di also thought that Xie Jin met the East Palace and separated their father-son relationship, so he sent him to prison.

The meaning of Zhu Di's words is very intriguing, you can think that he is still worried about Xie Jin, or you can think that he doesn't want this person to live anymore.

In short, the Son of Heaven is moody and the Sacred Heart is unpredictable.

And when he heard this sentence, he automatically thought it was the latter. He immediately rushed back to prison, pretended to congratulate him with wine, drunk Xie Jin, and buried him alive in the snow.

This incident caused huge waves in both the government and the opposition, and the henchmen of the Han Dynasty, who had already fallen behind, began to make waves again. The civil servants who supported the crown prince began to be suspicious.

Jingyu talked about Ji Gang, but his tone was dyed with a fiery and awe-inspiring killing intent-

"The so-called punishment is not a doctor, even if you want to kill someone, you shouldn't use such cruel and vicious means - Ji Gang, the butcher and executioner, his end is not far away!"

When Xiao Gu heard this, he interjected coldly, "Ji Gang's life is really hard, and it is really a pity that he did not die in the hands of the red note you sent!" ”

Thinking of the explosion, Pingning Fang was full of mourning, and most of the dead and injured were family members and children, she felt angry and uneasy, so she opened her mouth to say the mocking words before she realized it.

"This time he used a stand-in to pretend, next time he won't have this luck!"

In the sneer, Jing Yu's killing intent reached its peak at this moment, and Xiao Gu even felt that compared to Zhu Di, the tyrant who killed his father and the whole clan, Jing Yu's hatred for Ji Gang was even greater!

What is this for? She had doubts in her heart.

Seeing the question and answer between the two, the atmosphere began to be weird again, Qin Yao hurriedly interrupted and turned the topic back to before, "Tonight's church meeting was initiated by Xia Yuanji, and although the official positions he invited were not high, they were either close ministers of the Son of Heaven or the chief officials of the Sixth Ministry. When I first came on the field, I didn't hear all of them, but I heard a few words. ”

He paused, a solemn glint flashing in his eyes, "They want to join forces to build momentum and drive King Han back to the fiefdom!" ”

"Oh?"

Jingyu's voice was full of attention and interest, "This is an opportunity that can be used, but how to do it depends on their next move - the so-called Xiucai rebellion, three years will not succeed, the Han King has arrogant soldiers and fierce generals, I am afraid that this group of Xiucai may not be able to do so!" ”

****

It was almost the fourth watch, and Qin Yao's carriage was rolling along the road, with him and Xiao Gu sitting in the car.

The night wind rolled up the cotton curtain of the window, and the lone lamp on the corner of the street came into his eyes, sliding out of the streamer and fire, stabbing people's eyes, and a wave of fatigue and powerlessness welled up in his heart, Xiao Gu couldn't help but close his eyes.

"Are you tired?"

Qin Yao asked.

Xiao Gu shook his head, and simply leaned on his shoulder and closed his eyes to recuperate and keep warm.

Qin Yao's white fox cloak this time, there was no trace of variegation on the upper and lower parts of the body, the silver needles were crystal clear, and they were not bloated but warm as spring when they were worn, Xiao Gu leaned his little face on it and rubbed it, and only after a while did he mutter: "I'm uncomfortable in my heart." ”

She murmured about the relationship between the two, and her brow welled up with infinite sorrow. "I thought that the 'big brother' turned out to be Arabic, and I didn't expect that he would encounter a catastrophe and his heart would change to such a point!"

She remembered his last words, her heart hurt even more like a pinprick, and her voice was hoarse with excitement, "He said that he is no longer the Arabic language that I have in mind...... It's ridiculous! ”

Qin Yao listened silently, tucked the fur collar around her neck for her, and said, "No matter what he becomes." He's the son of the Jing family you know, isn't he? ”

Xiao Gu took a deep breath and nodded, "Seventh brother, you are right. ”

In the cold night, she suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes filled with pain and pity, "He became like this because he suffered a deep blood feud of killing his father and destroying his clan, and he has suffered for so many years, not because he is so vicious by nature." ”

She remembered Jing Yu's strange and cold eyes. The sentence of breaking off the righteousness was painful in my heart, but then what appeared in front of him was his slight smile in the dark. The glowing eyes that stared at her—

I burned it and broke your heart—but do you think that I am the unrighteous man? ”

No, by no means!

The more painful her heart became. The courage and strength that was almost stubborn became stronger, and it burned hotly, "I can't let him become such a person." Let him continue to hurt and sacrifice those who are like him, because I know that every time he does that, the most heartache must be himself! ”

"I won't give up on him, and I won't let him give up on himself!"

In the darkness, her voice was hoarse with crying, but it was extremely sonorous and confident, and her palm-sized little face showed a resolute and sassy aura, reflecting the pure white vessel, like a pear blossom after a storm, crystal noble but lovable.

Qin Yao's eyes became deeper at this moment, the emotions that appeared in his eyes were complex and tangled, but they also disappeared faster, and when she came back to her senses, he had already regained his usual indifference and nobility, "In this case, you will have to fight him to the end?" ”

"Yes...... I don't watch him harm others and himself—our Jinlan Society was not established to send everyone to a dead end. As the leader of the guild, if I have to do this, I can only stop him with all my might. ”

When Xiao Gu said this, she was already sure of the path she was going to take, and her mood was a little more relaxed, she looked at Qin Yao beside her, and said half-coquettishly and half-expectantly: "Seventh brother, you will always help me, stand on my side, right?" ”

The girl's dark eyes were shining, her eyes were circulating, Qin Yao couldn't help laughing, and scratched her nose dotingly, "Little scoundrel!" ”

Xiao Gu replied: "You taught it well." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, still as tacit as before.

The car rolled and turned, the speed was very fast but it was bumpy when he sat unknowingly, and before he knew it, he had reached the corner of a street outside the Hou Mansion in Jining, Xiao Gu was about to get out of the car, but was stopped by Qin Yao, and the most reluctant told her in her ear: "Be careful, Shen Yuan, the second master of your house, also came to the hall today to listen to the play, his car has just returned, those who guard the door must not have stopped, you be careful not to be seen." ”

Xiao Gu nodded silently, suddenly took off the plain white filial piety clothes on his body, flipped over and put them on his body again, and the whole person suddenly turned into smoke and ashes, and the ghost was generally not noticeable at all.

She jumped out of the carriage and left quietly, Qin Yao took a deep look at her steps, and finally lowered the heavy cotton satin curtain.

****

It was nearly four watches, and the lights in Wang's Qingqu courtyard were still dim and sleeping.

When it comes to filial piety, she should have gotten up early to wash, and then went to the old lady's Xuanrun Hall to wait for peace. But the old lady used the excuse that the rules brought by her mother's family did not get up until three o'clock in the morning, and when the Wang family first got married, she ate countless closed-door soups, and even had a precedent of standing in the cold wind and being frostbitten. She is also a powerful and stubborn wind and thunder, and over time, she simply stepped on the point, and no one dared to say that she was not.

Shen Yuan was tired and cold, and let people knock on the courtyard door, and without having to follow him, he walked to the main room with a lantern. (To be continued......)
