It's hard to see any big mansions in the state city of Caozhou.

There are only a few mansions of wealthy families that still look like they. It is said that a few years ago, there were many wealthy people in Caozhou, but after it became dilapidated, many people moved their families to the prosperous areas around the capital.

Nostalgia is important, but firstly, the capital is not far from Caozhou, and secondly, it is not fun for rich people to live in a depressed place where birds do not lay eggs, so the rich and noble families move away one after another, and it is becoming more and more difficult to see what high-ranking families.

And the Yuan family is different.

Thirty years ago, the Yuan family was a small squire, and he was a wealthy family in Caozhou at most, and he had no power at all. However, the so-called feng shui rotated, at that time, the younger generation of the Yuan family produced a literary and opera star, he learned and excelled in the official career, and finally slowly tired of officials to the political envoy, until three years ago for some reason returned to his hometown.

The political envoy is a senior member of the second grade, even if he is a foreign official who serves in the local area, he can scare a person to death if he goes to the people, you must know that the last time an official of this grade appeared in an inconspicuous place like Caozhou was a hundred years ago.

Since then, the already thriving family has flourished.

Yuan family.

The house of every large family has its characteristics, some are solemn, some are extravagant; The Yuan family is no exception, not only the main building complex is magnificent, but even any corner gate is built quite imposingly, highlighting the wealth of the owner.

If there was no officialdom in the family, the Yuan family would never have today's pomp.

Xiao Jing, who was standing on the second floor of an attic not far away, looked at the four big words "Home of Kindness" written on the plaque in front of the door and sneered, eager to go up and chop it off with an axe.

Is this a family or a family of goodness? Can I curse?

This plaque is said to have been inscribed by a great Confucian after the Yuan family rose to power. Fortunately, it's not a handwritten book, otherwise it will take a lot of effort to take it down in the future.

"Uncle."

Someone walked upstairs quickly and whispered something beside Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing, who frowned slightly, nodded, and his eyes looking at the mansion became more and more solemn.

According to the current situation, Qin Ziqian is in the Yuan family nine times out of ten. However, it will only backfire if you are not sure to ask for someone, the other party will not only deny it, but it may also be unfavorable to Ziqian, which is bad.

Therefore, although he was already anxious, he could only pretend to be calm and wait here for news.

However, if Xiao Jing knew Qin Ziqian's current situation, he was afraid that he would bring someone into the Yuan family.

Somewhere in Yuan's mansion, two people were staying in a dark room.

The house is very well furnished, and all the furnishings are delicate and delicate, and it is obviously intended for the female guests.

However, the condition in the house is not warm to speak of, and it can even be said to be a little scary.

The air was filled with blood, and there were dark red and even black marks on the floor; Sometimes, a woman's cough can be heard, often followed by a murmur of pain.

"Did you figure it out? I'm running out of patience. ”

The middle-aged man sitting on the chair smiled for a long time, and snorted coldly: "Don't think that you are from the Xia family, I don't dare to touch you." Now that you are a prisoner, I will crush you to death on the ground in Caozhou like an ant...... It is not difficult to make a person disappear from this world inexplicably. ”

When he had said this, the room fell silent. After a while, a weak female voice sneered softly, "If you can only say clichés, you don't need to say any more." I've been at Yuan's house for a while, and I'm tired of hearing this, you're just a vain tongue. ”

The person who spoke was none other than Qin Ziqian.

She was lying on the bed with bruises all over her body, her clothes were stained with blood piece by piece, and her whole person looked very sluggish, only her eyes were still clear and resolute.

"I've long said you don't know what you want, let alone where they are. If you weren't forced to do it, who would want to stay in a hellish place like your home...... Ahem. ”

Qin Ziqian coughed vigorously a few times, and then said, "If Master Yuan doesn't believe it, then it's up to you." Anyway, I've said everything I need to say, if you still can't believe it, it will really make me disappear, I can trust the methods of the Yuan family. ”

Master Yuan shook his head: "Hugh has to pretend to be stupid." You have collected a lot of physical evidence in Caozhou these days, where did those things go? Oh, there is still the so-called 'bitter master' to connect you as a foreigner, if I hadn't found out early, I'm afraid I would have been pitted by you. ”

As he spoke, his anger became heavier and heavier, and finally he simply said, "You want to die?" Hey, death is the easiest, but I don't want you to die. If you still refuse to tell the truth, don't blame me for not taking the Xia family seriously. What is there to be proud of a fallen phoenix, is there no one in the Yuan family on it?

Believe it or not, just now that you are beaten like this, I will send you back to the capital, and your uncle still doesn't dare to let go of a fart? If I'm really in a hurry, I'll break your appearance, even if I completely tear my face with the Xia family, but that's just a little troublesome. Maybe...... Hehe, you're still a yellow flower girl who hasn't left the cabinet, don't bury your innocent body here in vain......"

Master Yuan even threatened to "follow the good path" and talked a lot, Qin Ziqian just smiled faintly, and then actually closed his eyes.

She's really not afraid of anything. From the moment she got those shocking evidence, she put life and death out of the way.

It's actually quite easy to want to die. Since she was caught, she has been severely beaten almost every day, and she has never used any drugs during this time. Now, there is an infection in the blurred flesh and blood on her body, there is no special anti-infection method in these years, and her body is already cold and hot, and she feels that she can't hold on to the day when Master Yuan makes a mistake.

Besides, is this old man really not afraid of the Xia family? Not necessarily!

Qin Ziqian's appearance of not entering the oil and salt made Master Yuan very annoyed.

Girls often regard their appearance and reputation as life, Qin Ziqian is not only a beautiful country but also educated by a large family, he thinks that girls should care more about these, who knows that Qin Ziqian turned a deaf ear to his intimidation and didn't take it seriously at all.

He got up and dusted off his clothes, and said sharply, "Where have all the people died?" ”

Immediately, two servants, five big and three thick, entered the room and stood in front of him respectfully.

Master Yuan said angrily: "Hit me, beat me hard!" The little slut refused to tell the truth, so he beat her until she spoke. It doesn't matter how important it is, just leave a breath. If you haven't asked anything useful in the end, go with her! ”

The two servant women were almost paralyzed from fright. When Master Yuan went out, one of them dragged Qin Ziqian off the bed and tied it, and the other raised a whip dipped in salt water......
