Chapter 9 The Past of Jinan
"Big brother, do you have a grudge against the Prime Minister?" After eating and drinking, Valing looked at Su Fan and asked curiously. In her heart, she really wanted to know how her high-ranking father offended Su Fan.
"There's a grudge." Su Fan was worried about his father lying on the bed, and said with a helpless sigh.
"What kind of hatred, let's hear it." Valing felt that Su Fan was very good, and with his understanding of his father's personality, he thought that there must be some misunderstanding here.
"I don't know." Su Fan shook his head helplessly and said, if you really ask him what enmity he has with the prime minister, I really don't know. I only know that the Prime Minister has recently come to the Su family once a day, but I don't know what happened specifically.
Listening to Su Fan's words, Valing couldn't help but curse in his heart: "What kind of person, I don't even know what happened, and I started to make random arrangements to have a grudge against my father, and it's too hateful." ”
Qingqing, who has been by Waling's side since childhood, knows Miss very well, and when she saw the strange look on her face, she knew that she was angry with Su Fan, so she pulled the corner of her clothes and whispered: "Childe, hare." ”
Valing disagreed, put his hand to his mouth, attached it to Qingqing's ear and said softly, "Didn't you hear him say that he has a grudge against the Prime Minister?" Don't think a hare can buy me. ”
"Miss, don't forget, he's our big brother." Qingqing reminded that she hoped that Miss would not forget the matter of their wedding just now.
"Then I can't let him choreograph my Amma." Valing argued angrily that since she was a child, her father was the best person in the world in her eyes, and no one should be allowed to speak ill of her father.
"Miss, you haven't figured out the situation yet, don't define it presumptuously." Qingqing reminded that he didn't want the young lady to misunderstand Su Fan.
"I'll be careful." Valing didn't want to misunderstand Su Fan, because in her eyes, no matter how she looked at it, Su Fan didn't look like a bad person.
"What are you doing?" Su Fan looked at Valing and Qingqing muttering, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Nothing." Valing didn't want to reveal her identity as the prime minister's daughter, and seeing that she was going to Jinan, she wanted to propose to part ways with Su Fan.
Looking at Wa Ling's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Su Fan asked, "Second brother, do you have something on your mind?" ”
Listening to Su Fan's question, Valing took the opportunity to say: "Big brother, I ran away from home due to a conflict with my father, and now I want to sneak home to have a look, so I can't invite you to sit in the house." ”
"I thought it was a big deal, but it's a long way to go, and I'm afraid I won't have a chance." Su Fan said disapprerovingly, in fact, he was in a hurry to invite Bai Langzhong, and he didn't have time to stay in Jinan at all.
"Big brother, if you don't mind, Brother Qing and I want to say goodbye." Seeing that Su Fan didn't mind, Valing was very happy. I just felt that I was taken care of all the way by Su Fan, and I didn't invite him to sit at home, so I was very sorry not to go.
Su Fan is a very straightforward person, and when he saw that the two righteous brothers were going to break up with him, he immediately said sincerely: "Since I have arrived in your hometown, then I will rest assured, and there will be a period in the future." ”
Without much controversy, the three broke up. Su Fan had been to Jinan a few times before, and he was quite familiar with Bai Langzhong's family, at this time he did not go directly to invite Bai Langzhong, but found an inn to live in, planning to wash up, and then go to invite Bai Langzhong refreshingly after cleaning up.
Valing and Qingqing didn't have a penny on their bodies, so they first found a pawnshop to take the jewelry on their bodies and exchanged a little money for it.
"Miss, you wait in the inn first, and I'll go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to get some silver tickets." Qingqing discussed with Valing that she was a maid who had been with Miss since she was a child in the house, and now there are still many people in Jinan's family who know her.
"No, if you go, you will definitely be asked why." Valing didn't want her family to know that she had come to Jinan.
"Miss, do you really want to act in secret?" Qingqing said worriedly, she was afraid that she would not be able to take care of Miss and let Miss be hurt again, and she would blame herself for the rest of her life.
"I have to find out who killed my mother, who is going to burn me?" Valing clenched his fists and said, his eyes full of tears and a look of pain on his face.
Seeing Miss's excited appearance, Qingqing hurriedly went up and said intimately: "Miss, you have to be calm, you must avenge Mrs. under the condition of protecting your own safety, otherwise if something happens to you, Mrs. under Jiuquan will not be at ease." ”
"Qing'er, don't worry, I will cherish my life. I have never forgotten that my life was bought by my mother. Valing took out the crystal goose around her neck and stroked it gently, it was the only token that her mother left her. Whenever she thinks about Eniang, she will take it out and stroke it.
"Miss, there's an inn over there, let's go in and stay." Qingqing pointed to an inn in front of her and said happily.
"Big brother's horse is inside, I didn't expect us to meet so soon." Waling followed Qingqing's fingers and was very happy to see Su Fan's horse.
"Miss, shall we go up to him?" Qingqing asked.
"No, don't forget the purpose of our coming out this time, we have to keep a low profile in everything." In order to investigate his mother's affairs, Valing decided not to live in an inn with Su Fan.
For the sake of convenience and safety, Valing and Qingqing chose to stay in the inn opposite Su Fan.
"Miss, should we change back into women's clothes, I think it's weird to wear men's clothes all the way." As soon as he closed the door of the inn room, Qingqing couldn't wait to ask.
Waling tore the mustache on his face, and said angrily: "Qing'er, I said that you should have a mustache, but you don't listen, you don't say that you have allergies, so you can't blame others for always treating you as a eunuch." ”
"Miss, don't laugh at me, aren't you going to be robbed home by robbers like you have a beard and want to be the lady of the village?" Qingqing happily teased with Valling, she felt that even if the young lady had a beard, she was still a sissy, only Su Fan's nerd couldn't see it, but if she changed to a second man, she would find that they were women.
"Qingqing, if you don't talk about robbers, I almost forgot, how did I, Amma, become the leader of the robbers?" Valing said solemnly, she felt that there was a secret here, and it was probably related to the fire six years ago.
"Miss, I also feel very curious, the master usually looks very serious on the surface, but he is very kind in private, and he should not be a fierce bandit leader." Qingqing touched her head and said, she grew up in the Prime Minister's Mansion since she was a child, and with her understanding of the Prime Minister, the master is definitely not a bad person.
"Qingqing, this time we finally came out, we must find some clues, otherwise I'm so sorry for my mother." Wa Ling said emotionally that Ama had used his identity and rights as prime minister for the sake of Eniang's affairs, but she still didn't find anything, and this time she decided to check it in person.
"Miss, but where are we going to find out? There is no clue at all. "Qingqing has received a lot of favors from her wife on weekdays, and she also wants to avenge her.
"Since there are no clues, then we can only wait." Waling couldn't come up with a good idea for a while, so he had to go with the flow.
"Miss, there seems to be someone making trouble outside." Qingqing saw a group of bullies bullying an honest young man from the window of the inn.
Waling, who likes to meddle by nature, can't see others bullying people the most, so he didn't care about the beard that had been plucked out of his face, pulled Qingqing and said, "Let's go down and have a look." ”
"Miss, take a look, don't be nosy." Qingqing instructed that she was afraid that the matter of the young lady's fire had not been investigated clearly, and she would cause other trouble.
"I see, Qingqing." Valing knew that this was Jinan after all, and she couldn't let the enemy find out her identity.
Waling and Qingqing came to the street, and saw several fierce men pointing at the young man underground and saying viciously: "Hurry up and take out the money, if you want to do business here, you must pay protection money." ”
"I didn't." The young man lying on the ground said in fear.
"There's no business you're doing here, get out of here." A man who seemed to be the leader of the wicked went up and kicked the young man.
Su Fan, who happened to come out of the inn opposite, looked at the leader of the wicked people and said coldly: "Why do you want to beat people?" ”
"Does it have anything to do with you?" The leader of the wicked said unconvinced.
"Of course it matters, it's wrong for you to hit someone." Su Fan couldn't get used to bullying people, so he stepped forward to help the honest man who fell to the ground.
"Childe, it's better for you not to meddle in your affairs." The young man said scaredly, afraid that he would cause trouble for Su Fan.
"It's fine." Su Fan comforted that he felt that evil was indecent and upright, and there was nothing to be afraid of.
"I said that you are not well fed, and you dare to take care of the affairs of the prime minister." The leader of the wicked looked at Su Fan and said arrogantly.
"Prime Minister, is he asking you to collect protection money here?" Su Fan asked curiously, feeling that this prime minister was really hateful. You are the prime minister, it can be said that he is under one person, above ten thousand people, and the money issued to him by the imperial court alone is enough for him to spend, so why do you need someone to collect protection money and collect money everywhere.
Seeing that Su Fan didn't believe it, several fierce men said domineeringly: "What, is there a doubt?" I'll tell you, we've been here for more than ten years. ”
"More than ten years?" Valing and Qingqing hid in the crowd, surprised to hear all this, they had never heard these words before.
Su Fan said angrily: "The Qing Dynasty clearly stipulates that protection fees cannot be collected, how can the prime minister break the law with himself?" ”
"Hmph, if the Prime Minister hadn't been bad and breathable, his house wouldn't have been burned!" Some of the onlookers were more fearless, and they talked softly.
"The Prime Minister's Mansion was burned?" Su Fan had been to Jinan a few times before, but he really hadn't heard of it, and now he couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Not only was it burned, but the wife was burned to death, and the daughter was also burned and disfigured." Someone in the crowd said boldly.
"Is it true?" Su Fan looked at several fierce men and asked.
"Nonsense, a bunch of people." The leader of the wicked looked at the crowd of onlookers and bit back.
"The wicked deserve their evil retribution." As if discussing, the crowd of onlookers took out the vegetables and eggs in the vegetable basket on their bodies and threw them at a few wicked people.
Looking at all this chaos, Su Fan was stunned for a while, and he really couldn't tell who was a good person.
