See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Qin Niang bowed in a proper manner.

"Excuse me, there are no outsiders here, so my sister-in-law doesn't have to be polite." Song Yu motioned for her to sit down on the chair next to her, "What is it that makes Mrs. Sister-in-law so anxious to come to the palace to see me?" ”

He didn't call himself the palace in front of Qin Niang, but called "I" very affectionately, to show that the relationship between him and Gu Chen was extraordinary.

"Song Huai may be going to raise troops." Qin Niang said in a word.

Song Yu raised his eyebrows, as if he was a little surprised: "How can you see it?" ”

These days, he is busy with various matters at the border, but he can't take care of Huaizhou.

"When Song Huai was demoted to Huaizhou, Gu Chen left some people over there to keep an eye on Song Huai, but the news just came back yesterday that there are always some young strong men who have disappeared recently, and it also involves the beliefs of the common people, so it is more troublesome."

Qin Niang told Song Yu about the news she got from Steward Liu, especially when she said that the local people had great faith in those ghosts and gods, Song Yu's face couldn't help but become solemn.

He lightly clasped his knuckles on the desk, and said thoughtfully: "You mean, the people in that place already believe in ghosts and gods, but the matter of the protection of the gods has only spread since Song Huai went there, right?" ”

Qin Niang nodded: "Yes, so, the courtiers suspect that these are just Song Huai's single-handedness, he just wants to build momentum and make those ordinary people believe that there are really gods, and then they will treat those missing relatives and dare not report to the official." ”

Speaking of the officials in that place, Qin Niang felt that after the baptism of the past three years, those people's brains were probably almost washed.

Even if there are still one or two who want to reach the heavens, I am afraid that they will be checked and balanced by other people.

Therefore, in the past three years, I have never heard of a bad word from Huaizhou.

Come to think of it, that place is now like an iron cage, let alone news, even a fly can't fly a single one.

"The disappearance of so many strong men for no reason is indeed very likely to be taken captive somewhere to do something that requires physical strength, if it is not to accumulate soldiers, then to do coolies." Song Yu said thoughtfully.

Other than those two situations, he really couldn't think of what to do with these men.

"Therefore, I repaired the book to Gu Chen overnight, asking him to be vigilant and always pay attention to the movements in Huaizhou, in case he was stabbed in the back." Qin Niang said in a deep voice.

If there is a loss in the south, if Huaizhou's internal and external attacks are added, then the entire eastern border is really an internal and external trouble, and it is not far from the death of the country.

"I will send someone to find out about this matter, thanks to you who came into the palace to remind me, otherwise, if Song Huai really makes something happen again, then the people of Yu Donglin will also be a catastrophe." has been a brother with Song Huai for more than 20 years, and no one knows that man better than him.

His ambition is greater than his ability.

"Then His Royal Highness Prince Lao will pay more attention, there are still some things outside the palace of the courtiers, so I will stay soon." With that, Qin Niang got up and made a farewell salute to Song Yu.

Song Yu didn't keep her either, according to the system, she couldn't come to the front hall as a woman, let alone see him alone.

But he also knew that she was a measured woman, and if it weren't for the urgency, she wouldn't come rashly, and, in order to avoid suspicion, the door of the imperial study was open from the moment she entered.

The guards knew that they had something important to say, but they consciously stood a little farther away, but they could only see the two of them from a distance.

Qin Niang from the palace to the palace before and after less than half an hour, Qiu Tao stayed in the carriage to eat the pastries that the kitchen had filled her before going out in the morning, and before she had time to drink two sips of tea, she saw that Qin Niang had returned.

She asked in surprise, "Miss, why are you so fast this time?" Could it be that you haven't seen anyone? She put down the half-eaten piece of cake, patted the powder on her hand and asked.

"No, I'll come out when I'm done." Qin Niang picked up another piece of cake on the plate and took a bite, glared at her angrily and said, "I'm here to tell the prince something important, so naturally I'll leave after saying a few words, so as not to tell the truth, what?" You still expect the prince to keep me to eat. ”

Qiu Tao shook her head: "Slaves don't dare to expect this, those royal men can't be provoked." ”

Thinking about the previous Song Huai, it was enough to choke, if there was another one, she felt that Qin Niang's life expectancy would have to be two years shorter.

The carriage returned to the Gu house with a bang, and I never thought that the Qi family was here.

"Sister-in-law, why are you here?" Qin Niang jumped out of the carriage and asked.

Qi didn't speak, just pulled her towards Qinyuan.

Qin Niang looked confused, but when she entered the courtyard, she understood that Bu Shuyuan, who was declared dead, was pale at the moment, tied up and thrown in the yard.

I don't know if I'm in a coma or awake, my face is turned to the other side, Qin Niang can't see it really.

"The old man said, this person is handed over to you." Qi Shi said, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said jokingly, "This hot potato has finally been thrown to you, and it has been placed under my nose all day long, I am really afraid that I will not be able to look at her." ”

To tell the truth, during this period of time, the Qi family really couldn't watch this cloth girl's every move, every time she went out, not more than three streets, she would definitely dump her people, and when she was about to come back, she also shook it in front of her people, indicating that she didn't run around, but they didn't follow.

"Okay, I've worked hard these days, sister-in-law, and I'll do the rest." Anyway, she has already completed the improvement of the artillery, and the iron shop only needs to follow the precautions she said and then make it, so she doesn't have to keep an eye on it every day for the time being.

So, now she has time to deal with Bu Shuyuan's affairs.

"If you want to say hard work, how can you have hard work, I really want to share some of it for you, but the old man said, you have a greater use for this person, I won't fight with you, and now people have sent it to you, you can do it, I won't hinder you." Qi said and walked away.

I don't know, I thought the back of her ass was on fire.

Qin Niang shook her head speechlessly, her sister-in-law is also the daughter of a family, a scholarly disciple, but how she behaves is very similar to those women raised by military generals.

"Miss, the man seems to be awake." Qiu Tao looked at the person not far away and seemed to move, and immediately pointed over there and said.

Qin Niang patted the non-existent dust on her body and walked over slowly.

Bu Shuyuan never thought that she would meet Qin Niang again in such a way, and since she called the capital, she has thought about her fate, which is nothing more than death.

But she never expected that the Gu family didn't kill her, but tied her up and threw her here.

She doesn't understand.

What were they trying to do by throwing her at this woman in front of them? Could it be that this woman is expected to persuade her?

No!

She always remembers how her father and mother died, if it weren't for the ruthlessness of the Gu family, how could she have fallen to this?

"Miss Bu, you must be wondering why they sent you to me." Qin Niang looked at her condescendingly, and said in a light voice.

The little girl in the courtyard was very clever and moved a chair for Qin Niang, and she sat down, looking down at the woman lying at her feet, and suddenly understood why there was a chair in the dungeon of those interrogators.

It turns out that sitting and watching others being tied up makes it easier to give the other party a sense of oppression.

At this moment, Bu Shuyuan felt a strong sense of oppression, she looked at this woman who was even more condescending after sitting down than standing and looking at her just now, and asked shamelessly: "Yes, why did they send me here?" And, what are you going to do to me? Why do you do this to me? I'm a family person. ”

Qin Niang chuckled when she heard this: "People from the Gu family? Who admitted? You don't think that if you brought a piece of jade, you think that the Gu family can really recognize you, right? ”

Bu Shuyuan's face changed, her voice suddenly raised a few points, and she shouted: "I am indeed a member of the Gu family, I am the granddaughter of Old Man Gu, this matter is an ironclad fact, you have no right to dispose of me." ”

Qin Niang quietly admired her panic under her arrogance, and when she shouted enough, she spoke again: "It doesn't matter if you are the granddaughter of Old Man Gu or not, the important thing is that if he could give up that daughter more than ten years ago, he can naturally give up your granddaughter, who has no feelings." ”

In one sentence, Bu Shuyuan's face turned a little paler.

She was right, back then, Old Man Gu doted on that daughter so much, and he could still say that he would break off the relationship, let alone her granddaughter, who couldn't tell whether it was true or false?

She should have understood that Old Man Gu was a cold-hearted man, and she shouldn't have expected him to leave some affection for her.

"The Gu family has now announced that you are dead, and now hand you over to me, you should know that in the eyes of the Gu family, you are really dead, so don't expect to drag the Gu family into the water in case the matter is revealed." Qin Niang looked at her, pulled the corners of her lips and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you." ”

It's just that it won't give her freedom.

But she didn't say this, she just raised her hand and motioned for Qiu Tao to throw people into the side courtyard, and then sent two powerful mothers-in-law to guard it day and night, so that no one could run away or untie her rope.

Qiu Tao responded, and immediately beckoned the two mothers-in-law to move people away.

Bu Shuyuan didn't seem to expect that she would imprison her without saying a word, and immediately panicked: "Yang Qinyan, if you have the ability, kill me, you kill me!" ”

For her, the loss of her freedom was more painful than death.

What's more, they are still tied up and locked up as pigs, cows, sheep and other animals, and they have to ask for what they want from others to eat, drink, and Lazar, what kind of torture is this for a girl who grew up in the south since she was a child and is used to being free?

"Watch her closely, don't let her die." Qiu Tao stared at the two mothers-in-law and said.

"Yes." As she spoke, she raised her hand and removed Bu Shuyuan's chin.

The courtyard was instantly quiet.

Bu Shuyuan's eyes widened, staring at Qin Niang deadly, as if she didn't believe that she would really treat her like this.
