Seeing that there was no benefit, Mrs. Tai couldn't turn the situation around for a while, so she snorted coldly and shook her hand back.

Qin Nianbai took Caihuan's hand and walked forward, she was afraid for a while in her heart, such a beautiful person was almost ruined because of her own negligence.

"Caihuan, some time ago, didn't you say that there are always people wandering there at the gate of our courtyard, trying to blend in (yù)?" Qin Nianbai thought for a moment and asked calmly.

Caihuan nodded, "Madam, you just have to rest assured, I have already let people keep an eye on him, as soon as they come in, they will catch him!" ”

Qin Nianbai waved his hand, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes, and said, "But you can find out, whose person is it?" ”

Caihuan pinched Qin Nianbai's shoulders and replied, "It should be Mrs. Tai who found it from the Liu family, and the slaves who are staring at it have seen Mother Jin give them some benefits!" ”

Qin Nianbai sneered, just right, she took advantage of this excuse to pull down the big Buddha of Mrs. Tai in one fell swoop.

Otherwise, in this mansion, there will never be an Sheng, and the lady has a whistleblower (shēn), and ordinary evil things can't touch her at all, and she has to go out herself!

Qin Nianbai said calmly, "Caihuan, you let the minions who are staring at you relax, let those people in, and watch them in the dark!" ”

"Madam, those people must be coming for you, don't keep an eye on them, why are you still letting them in!" Caihuan anxiously took Qin Nianbai's hand and asked.

Qin Nianbai patted her on the shoulder, said that he had his own plan, and let Caihuan do it.

At dinner, Qin Nianbai was eating uncomfortably, and at the same time secretly looked at He Yan, this strategy had to be assisted by He Yan, but he couldn't tell him directly!

After all, Mrs. Tai is his grandmother, and she can't be too explicit in front of him!

"Madame, has something on your mind?" He Yan saw Qin Nianbai peeking at him from time to time, and asked worriedly with a frown.

Qin Nian gave He Yan a lot of dishes in vain, and smiled hehe, "It's nothing, I heard that the county lord's family has returned to Beijing, and you and Yanhou are old friends, I also want to meet the county lord......"

After listening to Qin Nianbai's words, He Yan frowned, and after hesitating for a moment, he looked at Qin Nianbai seriously and asked, "Yanhou and the county lord have always had clear grievances, and they have to be peaceful, madam, are you inconvenient to say anything?" ”

"Uh-huh!" Qin Nianbai didn't perfunctory him, and nodded directly in acknowledgement.

He Yan touched Qin Nianbai's head and sighed, "Okay, I'll ask someone to visit Yan Hou and the county lord tomorrow, and I will definitely invite someone to you!" ”

Qin Nianbai in front of him, he became more and more worried, although he had already guessed what Qin Nianbai was going to do, he was also annoyed in his heart, why Qin Nianbai didn't want to believe in himself!

"That, I just want to protect the people on the side (shēn)......" Qin Nianbai said with some guilt in his heart when he saw He Yan's worried god (qíng).

"I believe in you!" He Yan's simple three words made Qin Nianbai's heart even warmer.

翌 (rì)

The county lord has agreed to go to the appointment, and Qin Nianbai has also set up a banquet in the mansion.

Mrs. Tai also heard about this, and the mother and daughter were trembling with anger.

"Such a big thing (qíng), that person didn't inform us, I heard that several duchess who were friends with the county lord also came, and they were ready to go over together to question the crime, I want to see how she justifies herself in front of the county lord!"

Mrs. Tai shouted loudly with jealousy and red eyes, Qin Nianbai wanted to separate them from the high-ranking officials and nobles.

If Qin Nianbai is allowed to run her connections, then there will be something to do with her daughter in the future!

The old lady patted Mrs. Tai's (xiōng) mouth, looked outside, and whispered close to her ear and said, "Mother, don't be angry first, the person you arranged has already mixed in, and if that person dies, are we still worried that we won't be able to manage our own connections?" Let's wait for the news! ”

"Well, you have a point!" Mrs. Tai sat down and thought of Wang Niannian again, "By the way, what has Wang Niannian been doing recently?" Don't come and say hello to me! ”

Xiao Liu on the side hurriedly came out with a smile and said, "Mother, Niannian hasn't served Erlang yet, so it stands to reason that she can't come over casually." ”

At the banquet

Qin Nianbai was talking to the county lord, Xiao Qing came over and gave Qin Nianbai a look, and she knew.

"Is someone already coming in?" Qin Nianbai looked at 4 weeks, pulled Xiaoqing into a corner and asked in a low voice.

Xiao Qing nodded, "That person is sneaky and seems to be staring at you all the time!" ”

"Don't make a noise, send someone to keep an eye on him, I'll give him a chance to kill me now, and you will catch someone then!" Qin Nianbai said to Xiao Qing solemnly.

Xiao Qing took Qin Nianbai's hand worriedly, and said anxiously: "Madam, let's let the slave maid put on your clothes and lure that person out for you, it's too risky for you to do this, not to mention that the general doesn't know about it yet!" ”

Qin Nianbai patted her on the shoulder, "The person who does this kind of thing must be a personal essence, if he sees the clues, it will be difficult for us to catch them in the future!" Xiao Qing was still hesitating, Qin Nianbai had no choice but to touch his (xiōng) mouth and smiled, "Don't worry, I put the general's soft armor on my underwear!" ”

Then, Qin Nianbai came over and chatted with the county lord's mother.

Seeing that the time was almost up, he deliberately said loudly that his group fan was placed on the railing of the water pavilion in the backyard, and he would come when he went.

At this moment, a mysterious (shēn) figure dressed in a family dress flashed in the crowd.

The maids and little Si basically helped in the front yard, and Qin Nianbai came to the water pavilion, which was empty!

She deliberately pretended to be looking for something, looking east and west, Xiaoqing and the guards were hiding among the rockery flowers, ready to go at any time!

She also felt that a (shēn) shadow was slowly approaching, and she was a little apprehensive in her heart, after all, she was not wearing any soft armor, and the only way to escape was this lotus pond!

"It's strange, I obviously remember to put it here, why is it gone, I knew that I let Xiaoqing come to find this girl!" Qin Nianbai said deliberately puzzled.

Suddenly, a pair of hands appeared from behind and wanted to push her into the pool, and Qin Nianbai (shēn) flashed, and the other party did not succeed.

This person was wearing Xiao Si's clothes, wearing a mask on his face, and his (shēn) shape was much taller than Qin Nianbai's.

Seeing that he didn't push Qin Nianbai down, he simply took out a sharp dagger from his sleeve and stabbed it, and during the scuffle, Qin Nianbai's arm was scratched, and the person also fell into the pool!

The guards also quickly came over and held the man down, Xiao Qing shouted loudly, there were assassins, and all the guests in the front yard were attracted over!

Under the panicked gaze of these people, Qin Nianbai was pulled up without danger.

"Oh, God forbid, you're fine, it's really scared to death!" Seeing that Qin Nianbai was pulled up, the county lord came over anxiously.

Seeing that the blood on Qin Nianbai's arm was flowing and staining her clothes red, she hurriedly called a doctor.

The doctor bandaged Qin Nianbai briefly, prescribed a few prescriptions, and the county lord asked Qin Nianbai to go down to rest.

"County Lord Niangniang, you are frightened, I'm really sorry, this is something happened in my family (qíng), I must hear this matter clearly in front of you, otherwise, people with a heart will take it out and spread the legend, but no one will dare to come to my garden to eat and drink!" Bai patted the county lord's hand and said with a smile.

The county lord nodded with satisfaction, this general's wife is really famous, it is better to meet, Yanhou and He Yan are confidants, He Yan's wife naturally can't be wrong!

Qin Nianbai went back to the room to change his clothes (shēn), combed his hair in a bun, and came out.

In addition to the assassin who assassinated Qin Nianbai, he also arrested several suspicious people in the mansion.

The other ladies sat in turn, Qin Nianbai sat in the middle, and she asked the assassin led by her with a cold face, "Who sent you to the General's Mansion to assassinate Mrs. Ben, do you know that assassinating Mrs. Ben is a capital crime of the Nine Clans!" ”

The assassin sneered with a bearded face, "Take people's money to eliminate disasters for others, only blame Madame for your usual overdoing and someone spending money to buy your life!" A few of us fell into your hands, and we didn't think about dying, killing or chopping, listen to you! ”

Qin Nianbai sneered, picked up a purse and waist card from the tray on the table and threw it on the ground, "Why don't you hide these things carefully?" ”

When the assassin saw it, his face changed greatly, and he quickly turned his face away, "I don't recognize anything!" ”

"You have been living in an inn outside the city, for a whole month, what to say, who you have seen, Mrs. Ben knows it clearly, I am giving you a chance to atone for your sins today, you will confess to people, I can exempt you from the death penalty, otherwise, you don't know it as a substitute for the dead!"

Qin Nianbai took a sip of tea in a flat tone, but his eyes were extremely cold and glanced at this assassin.

The word Liu on the waist card is also very conspicuous!

A few ladies seemed to recognize the pattern on the purse, and one of them pointed to the purse and said: "This doesn't seem to be an ordinary thing, you look at this stitch heel fabric, it looks like Jiangnan Yunjin!" ”

The group leader hurriedly picked it up and looked at it carefully, and said to Qin Nianbai, "Sister, Yunjin is precious, a hundred embroidered girls, and you can't weave a few horses a year, and precious fabrics like this are generally rewarded by the palace!" ”

Qin Nianbai took the purse and poured out a few pieces of gold from it, of course she knew that this was Mrs. Tai's big deal.

But it is more convincing to let these famous ladies and the county lord's mother find out and say it in person.

Qin Nianbai threw the few pieces of gold on the ground, and looked at these assassins with a sly look in his eyes, "You can not say anything, and you are willing to be a substitute for the dead, the person who asked you to do this is either rich or noble, and you don't seem to be born and raised, if that person knows that your matter (qíng) is exposed, in order to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, will your family also be spared?" ”

When the Assassins heard the word "family", they began to relax and looked at each other.

The one who took the lead said loudly: "Don't listen to her nonsense, it's not been a year or two for the brothers to do this!" ”

Qin Nianbai beckoned and asked the guards to loosen the ropes of these assassins.

"This is the first time you have fallen on your heels, I will let you out now, I will keep you if you can't get out of the capital, you will be robbed and killed!"

They just wanted to Yue Yue (yù) try to capture a few ladies as hostages so that they could escape, but when they heard Qin Nianbai's words, their morale became low again, and they began to think in their hearts.
