Chapter 65: Forced to be helpless
Qin Meiniang and her mother looked at Qin Meiniang with surprise and said:
"Mei Niang, why is this queen so good to us? She rescued us again, arranged our place, and settled our future life, she is really a good person, a living Bodhisattva! ”
Qin Meiniang's father sighed:
"The queen mother is really a living bodhisattva, her kindness to us is really more important than Mount Tai!"
Qin Meiniang then said:
"Without further ado, let's go to the inn on the outskirts of the city first, have a good night's rest tonight, and tomorrow morning we will set off to Lin'an County to find Liu Quan, the county lord, as long as we all leave Kyoto, Wanqing will never find us again in the future, and will not harass us again."
Liu Feng nodded and said:
"Well, that's right, let's go to the inn first."
Qin Meiniang and her father and mother also nodded in agreement.
After speaking, several people immediately walked to the inn on the outskirts of the city.
……
After Wan Qing's purpose of using Qin Meiniang and her father to lure her out failed, he was also angry, and he immediately went to the county lord, and said to him angrily:
"Okay, you county lord, I obviously looked for you before, didn't I tell you, you can not kill the Qin family husband and wife, but as long as you take the two of them to the execution ground according to the day of the verdict, then I am very likely to capture that Qin Meiniang, you are good, on the day of the verdict, you will be dumb, you actually don't play cards according to common sense, you say, what happened, you didn't execute the verdict that day, and the Qin family husband and wife were sent to the execution ground to be punished?"
Seeing Wan Qing's unkind posture, the county lord immediately stepped forward and clasped his fists and said respectfully:
"Young Master Wan, you are angry! This matter is not what you think, You also know this case, I also sentenced the Qin family and the husband and wife to death, but the day before they were about to carry out their execution, the queen mother suddenly came to my house to find me, she personally interrogated the Qin family husband and wife, raised some suspicions about the case, and sent the minister of the court to re-examine the case, so this led to the day of the execution, they could not be escorted to the execution ground to be executed, because the incident happened suddenly, and the queen mother personally inquired about the case, I don't want to go to Young Master Wan to report this matter, which led to these things later, presumably now Young Master Wan also knows, this case was misjudged by me, the Qin family husband and wife were originally wronged, so after the case is clear, I will acquit them all. ”
Wan Qing couldn't laugh or cry, "Very good, I knew that it must be the queen mother who was playing ghost in it, she also came to me, with the witness of the case, the witness also wanted to frame this young master, but he really miscalculated, he didn't find the few guards who threatened him in my mansion at all, and in the end, he was blasted out by this young master, and even the queen mother was disappointed." ”
The county lord immediately said seriously:
"Young Master Wan hasn't done these things, even the queen mother can't do anything about you."
Wan Qing said with a smug face:
"That's not, what I want is to catch Qin Meiniang and let her be my concubine, other things are not interesting to the young master, now it's good, my last plan has also been ruined, I don't care, in short, this matter is in your hands, so, you must atone for your sins, find Qin Meiniang for me, it's best to catch her and hand her over to me, otherwise, I'm afraid your position as the county master will be difficult to protect."
The county lord then said to Wanqing:
"Young Master Wan, the queen mother intervened in this matter, besides, the Qin family husband and wife and Qin Meiniang were originally wronged, which avoided my misjudgment and unjust case, why did Young Master Wan say that I ruined your plan, why did you say this? Besides, where is Qin Meiniang now, you don't know anything about Young Master Wan, so the lower officials have no way of knowing! ”
Wan Qing said seriously:
"The purpose of my coming to you is not for any unjust, false and wrongful case, my purpose is only one, that is, to catch Qin Meiniang, since you misjudged the case before, the queen mother also intervened and let the Qin family husband and wife be acquitted, so it will be difficult to lead Qin Meiniang to come, so now I hope you can help me, help me find Qin Meiniang, arrest it for me, after the matter is completed, I will definitely not treat you badly."
The county lord then said:
"Young Master Wan, I'm afraid this is not appropriate! This Qin Meiniang didn't break the law, and second, she didn't make trouble, and the lower officials didn't have any reason to send someone to arrest her! Therefore, please don't force the subordinate to do this, and the subordinate is really powerless. ”
Wan Qing looked at the county lord and was stunned, his face suddenly sank, and said:
"Listening to your tone, are you unwilling to do this for me?"
The county lord hugged his fists:
"The lower official doesn't dare, but the lower official really doesn't have any reason to find and arrest Qin Meiniang for Young Master Wan, which is no longer within the scope of the lower official's duties."
Wan Qing immediately took out an ingot of gold from his chest and brought it to the eyes of the county lord, "This ingot of gold is genuine, now you should have a reason to do this for me!" ”
The county lord also trembled in his heart, and when he saw that Wan Qing had taken out an ingot of gold, he also looked very embarrassed, "Young Master Wan, this ingot of gold is not accepted by the lower officials, and please take it back, you entrust the lower officials to arrest Qin Meiniang for you, this matter, the lower officials are really powerless, so please Young Master Wan don't force the lower officials anymore." ”
Wan Qing saw that the county lord kept refusing, and he suddenly said with a serious face:
"Bold, don't give you face, you don't have a face! Young Master Ben came to you today, just to look up to you, not only did you not appreciate it, but you also wanted to pour cold water on Young Master Ben, you are really brave and fat! I didn't even give this young master this face. ”
When the county lord heard Wan Qing's words, he was immediately frightened, and knelt down and said:
"Please, Young Master Wan, don't force the officials, okay? If it is something else, Xia Guan will definitely die for Young Master Wan, but he can help you arrest Qin Meiniang, Xia Guan is really powerless! ”
Wan Qing saw that the adults of this county were Wang Ba, and he was reluctant to help him catch Qin Meiniang.
Fortunately, I have already left a hand, and you really don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin!
Wan Qing immediately yelled outside the door:
"Come on, bring me the wife and children of the county lord."
When the county lord heard Wan Qing's words, his face immediately panicked, "What, Young Master Wan, what are you doing?" ”
Wan Qing sneered:
"Since you toast and don't eat and drink, then it's no wonder that Young Master Ben."
Several of Wan Qing's guards escorted the county lord's wife and children into the room.
Seeing this, the county lord immediately pleaded with Wan Qing:
"Young Master Wan, what are you doing! The matter between you and me has nothing to do with my family, please let them go! If you have a large number of adults, don't be like the lower officials. ”
Wan Qing couldn't help laughing a few times and said:
"It's not that I didn't have a chance with you, now it's up to you to see your performance, if you promise what I asked you to do before, then I can let them go immediately, if you don't know the current affairs, continue to get along with me, don't listen to me, then the young master will be powerless, don't worry, I won't hurt their lives with my wife and children, but there are many ways to live, I think the county adults don't need this young master to say this carefully!"
A pair of sons and daughters of the county lord said timidly at him:
"Daddy, save the kids."
"Dad, help us."
The wife of the county lord was also full of fear and said:
"Lang Jun, you just promise Young Master Wan's things, do you want to watch our mothers and sons being bullied?"
Wan Qing smiled and said:
"County lord, how are you thinking about it? Young Master Ben's patience is limited, don't force me to do something excessive! ”
The county lord looked at his family, his heart was full of entanglement, now he is really in a dilemma, if he doesn't agree to Wan Qing's request, then he will watch his family being bullied and tortured by Wan Qing.
The county lord gasped and said slowly:
"Okay, I promise you, but, Young Master Wan, please release my family first, I will definitely send someone to find out Qin Meiniang's whereabouts, and arrest her and hand her over to you as soon as possible."
Wan Qing suddenly laughed a few times and said:
"Very good, the county lord is right! As the so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, it would be great if you could agree to my request, of course, for the time being, I have to wronged your wife and children to go to my house to play for a few days, and when you catch Qin Meiniang and send me out of the house, I will naturally release your wife and your children. ”
The county lord suddenly sat down on the ground and said with a tangled face:
"Please Young Master Wan don't hurt my family, the official will send someone to handle the arrest of Qin Meiniang as soon as possible, you just wait for the news!"
Wan Qing nodded and said:
"Okay, then the young master is waiting for the good news from the county lords."
After finishing speaking, Wan Qing said to his guards with a smug face:
"Let's go and bring all the county lords' families back to the house."
Several guards then clasped their fists and said:
"Yes, young master."
The children of the county adults also cried and shouted:
"Dad, I'm not going."
"Dad, save us."
These voices seemed to instantly call the heart of the county adult, and he was full of entanglement and sadness.
Wan Qing took the family of the county lord and went back immediately.
The county lord stood up slowly, looking like he was not giving up, now his heart was very chaotic, because his wife and children were all arrested by Wan Qing, and he didn't dare to rush to save the queen mother and the emperor, besides, if he offended Wan Qing again because of this, then his future life would be even more sad, so, after he pondered for a while, he understood that the best way in front of him at present was to help Wan Qing find Qin Meiniang and catch her, take her to Wan Qing to exchange for his wife and children, and then wait for his wife and children to settle down. Then find the queen or the emperor to tell the truth.
After a while, the two guards who escorted Qin Meiniang and her father also returned to the mansion, and as soon as they returned to the mansion, the two guards went to the county lord to give an errand.
"Lord Qiqi, we have sent the Qin family husband and wife to the outskirts of the city." A guard hugged his fist at the county lord.
