Chapter 037: A Fire in Autumn
Mrs. Guan's step-by-step pressing made the two old rivers and lakes confused. After all, other people's daughters run away from home, and the two of them are inseparable. Under the weakness of being a thief, in the face of Mrs. Guan's questioning, Luo Wu and Miao Qi's defense line was loosened again and again, and they were almost on the verge of collapse.
Luo Wu coughed embarrassedly and said softly: "The reason why Miss ran away is because I heard that Your Majesty and the Empress Mother intend to choose her as the crown princess. The young lady has always only regarded His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as a cousin...... She ......"
Mrs. Guan's gloomy face softened slightly, and her tone also calmed down slightly: "In this matter, the palace does have such intentions. However, my husband is still guarding the camp in Jiangnan, and he is not at home, so how can he agree to the palace immediately? This girl has been used to being too willful since she was a child. Where is she now, let's go home with her first! ”
Knowing that this was the case, Luo Wu and Miao Qi wouldn't have to worry about it for so long, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. Miao Qi squeezed out a smile and said, "Madam...... There's one more thing I want you to know! ”
………………
A small team of inspectors ran behind the horses in sweat like rain, and the riders who were still riding on horseback did not walk fast.
Those noble children, who lay down the prey, were reluctant to put it on the horse's back, for fear that the horse would be more burdened, so they handed it over to the inspectors to carry. If you hit a hare, it's okay, but if you hit a wild sheep, the inspectors will have a bitter face and can't wait to eat the sheep on the spot......
Qin Fei's current status in the Inspection Office is definitely incomparable.
First, in the pre-imperial competition, Qin Fei was in the limelight, and for the first time in so many years, the Inspection Department won the championship of the autumn hunting competition. Second, the news that Qin Fei is about to be transferred to the Prosecutor's Office, I don't know if the people in the Prosecutor's Office deliberately let out the news, this news has spread far and wide, and ordinary inspectors naturally look at Qin Fei differently. If there is any dirty work, they rush to do it, and they all want to leave a good impression in front of Qin Fei, so as to lay a good foundation for the benefits they may get in the future.
Qin Fei turned a hillside and saw a small soft sedan chair head-on, on the shoulders of two sturdy sedan chair drivers, rushing over. The left and right sides of the sedan chair were followed by two middle-aged men, both of whom were old acquaintances - Luo Wuye and Miao Qiye.
Luo Wu beckoned to Qin Fei from afar, Qin Fei greeted the inspectors, and walked straight over.
Under the support of Luo Wumiaoqi, there are only a handful of women who are qualified to sit in the sedan chair in the autumn hunting ground, and Qin Fei can also imagine which one is in the sedan chair with his toes.
Striding to the soft sedan chair, Qin Fei saluted and said, "Humble Qin Fei, I've seen Mrs. ”
Miao Qi glanced at him, pouted again, and then reached out to lift the sedan curtain. From the sedan chair, a graceful and luxurious middle-aged beauty walked down.
Madame Guan gently raised her sleeves and waved outward, Luo Wu and Miao Qi immediately withdrew dozens of steps with the two palanquin men, and the four of them grasped the four directions respectively, and would never let anyone disturb the conversation between Madam Guan and Qin Fei.
"Qin Fei......" Mrs. Guan dragged his name for a long time, and said with a light smile: "Recently, this name is very loud in the Eastern Capital, especially in the circle above. ”
It was the first time Qin Fei had talked to such a noble lady, so he said cautiously: "Madam said that she was laughing. ”
Mrs. Guan looked at Qin Fei with a smile, but said in her mouth, "I'm not joking. ”
Her gaze wandered over Qin Fei for a while, making Qin Fei feel uncomfortable. Knowing that Guan Lingsi has intentions for herself, could it be that this Mrs. Guan already knows? It is rumored that 'the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law and salivates in her stomach'...... Now Mrs. Guan's gaze is a little bit like swallowing saliva......
Qin Fei was thinking wildly, when he suddenly heard Mrs. Guan say, "You young people, think you know everything, know everything? Hide everything from your elders. It was as if the elders would definitely work against their children. As everyone knows, the most beloved parents are their children, if it is not something that can never be allowed, usually, it is the parents who compromise! ”
Mrs. Guan looked at Qin Fei faintly and asked, "Listen to Luo Wu, Ling'er is quite interesting to you?" ”
Qin Fei is a very free and easy person, for the affairs of men and women, he feels that everything is natural, there is no need to force it, and there is no need to hide it, so he replied frankly: "That's right." ”
"What about you?" Mrs. Guan smiled like a spring breeze, but her words were full of unquestionable resoluteness: "Think clearly and tell me again, don't lie to the housekeeper's people." Deceive my daughter, even if you have great ability, even if you want me, a mother, to pierce a hole in the sky, I will make you pay the price. ”
The more weak-hearted people are, the more they will shout for words like they want you to die and want you to live. Mrs. Guan's seemingly frivolous sentence asks you to pay...... Everyone knows how much a housekeeper has to cost.
Qin Fei met Mrs. Guan's clear gaze and said solemnly: "Many things, for men, are closely related to status. When you get to a stage, things that seem complicated will be solved. If you can't reach that level, trouble will always be trouble! ”
Mrs. Guan smiled slightly, Qin Fei seemed to answer the question, but in fact, he had already answered her question.
"The autumn hunt will officially end tomorrow. You don't have to stay here. Mrs. Guan said lightly: "You and Luo Wumiaoqi together, go back to the Eastern Capital first, and send Ling'er back to the house." ”
Qin Fei shrugged his shoulders with a smile: "What if she refuses to go home?" ”
"You tell Ling'er that it was her aunt's idea to be the crown princess, not her mother's. She's going home! ”
Although Mrs. Guan's words were very vague, Qin Fei still heard a lot of clues, aunt? It's the queen, it seems that there are some rifts between the queen and the housekeeper!
"That'...... Qin Fei is leaving! Qin Fei bowed his hand. Luo Wu Miaoqi, who was in the distance, had obviously already been instructed by Mrs. Guan, and when he saw Qin Fei walking towards the outside of Luming Mountain, he quickly followed.
It doesn't take too much time to return to the Eastern Capital from Luming Mountain, the three of them are all masters, and the foot travel is extremely fast, and in an afternoon, they have already arrived in the Eastern Capital. At this time, it was only two days and one night since Guan Lingsi disappeared!
After entering the Eastern Capital, I ran all the way to the vegetable market street, and when I arrived at the alley, it was already the time of sunset and willows on the moon.
At this time, the street should be dimly lit, but today this alley is bright.
That's right, there is really a fire burning, in the simple house in the alley, there are lights everywhere, and there are two people holding bottles and cans and splashing constantly, it seems that they are not here to put out the fire.
Qin Fei's face suddenly turned extremely pale, he who had always laughed and was invisible, rarely showed such a strong killing intent. Luo Wu and Miao Qi didn't know it well, they sent Guan Lingsi over, of course they knew that the house that was being set on fire was Qin Fei's home!
A black shadow flew out like a bat in the dark night, stretched out the five fingers of both hands, clasped the shoulders of the two people who set the fire, dragged them out more than ten steps, and shouted: "Why set fire here? ”
The two were suddenly dragged by someone, although they were panicked, they still had some courage. The small-eyed young man on the left glanced at Qin Fei a few times and asked rhetorically, "Who the hell are you?" ”
Qin Fei didn't pay attention to him, his right hand clasped the neck of another person, and with a click, he crushed that person's throat very crisply. He pointed five fingers, and a corpse had collapsed to the ground. Qin Fei looked at his little eyes and shouted coldly, "Say! ”
Only then did the small-eyed man know that he had met the evil star, his face turned pale in an instant, and he said forcefully: "I said, don't mess around...... We are members of the Xicheng Changhe Gang. In the past, Nancheng was the land of Boss Fang, and the Changhe Gang never stepped in. Now that Boss Fang has suddenly disappeared, and there are people robbing him everywhere in Nancheng, our gang leader will personally step on it to take over Gentle Township. ”
Qin Fei's eyes were slightly cold, just because he got the news very quickly, Gentle Township was the first time that Cheng Xin gathered to help the people take it.
The small-eyed man trembled and said, "That's what is going on on the road, if it doesn't make sense, you can fight it...... Their gang doesn't have much strength, and it's only nine products, and our Changhe Gang has a ancestor who is a good person to worship, and he killed several of them and the gang leader without much effort...... The one named Chengxin seemed to have some status in the gang and escaped all the way. ”
"Is he dead or alive now?" Qin Fei's eyes widened angrily, and his right hand with blood pressed on the forehead of the small-eyed man, if he heard the news of Cheng Xin's death, the furious Qin Fei would not hesitate to smash this head.
The small-eyed man's tears had already fallen, and he cried, "I didn't kill him...... At dusk, Qi Heren, the master of the Sunset Hall, led us to chase after us, caught Cheng Xin, and saw a very peugeot little lady in this house, so he grabbed it easily...... The house was also ordered by the owner of the church to be burned! ”
"Where are they now?" Luo Wu interjected and asked.
The small-eyed man suddenly became smarter, for fear that if he said an address, he would be killed on the spot by the three fierce and vicious people in front of him, and said busily: "It's hard to find our hall, why don't I take the three of them......"
His wishful thinking was very loud, and when he arrived at the Sunset Hall of the Changhe Gang, there was a place where the ancestors of the world were worshipped, and when they got there, even if the three people behind him wanted to regret it, the one who was already a god-like existence in their eyes would definitely be able to kill these three people cleanly as if they had killed those nine rank worshippers. Then, won't your life be saved?
"Fifth brother......" Miao Qi was about to speak, but when he saw Luo Wu shaking his head, he closed his mouth.
"You decide!" Luo Wu said to Qin Fei seriously: "Many years ago, our brother decided to miss it once, and the consequences were very serious...... Miss is very important to us...... You know! ”
The fire burned the dilapidated houses, and the rotten, damp beams crackled under the licking of tongues of fire. There were more and more people running around shouting for firefighting, Qin Fei casually picked up the corpse on the ground, threw it into the fire, and coldly shouted to the small-eyed man: "Lead the way." ”
