Chapter 68: Questioning the county lord

Liu Feng sighed and said:

"Mother, I don't know what's going on, I heard a noise and talking in the room where Mei Niang was staying in the middle of the night, I immediately went to check, and I saw these guards blocking the room, ready to arrest Mei Niang, blame me for being useless, I failed to protect her, so she was taken away by these guards."

Qin Meiniang and her mother also suddenly gasped and said:

"Why is Mei Niang's life so bitter! I don't know what to do when I am caught! Such a good girl, and she didn't do anything hurtful, she was arrested for no reason, it's really unacceptable! ”

The guards who were holding Qin Meiniang and her mother estimated that the guards who took Qin Meiniang had gone away, so they immediately took Qin Meiniang and her mother to the horse outside the inn, and said to several guards behind her:

"Get on the horse, let's leave the inn."

Qin Meiniang's father immediately stepped forward, "Official, look, you have already captured my daughter, so let my wife go!" ”

The guard was stunned and said:

"I said that I just came to arrest Qin Meiniang, and the rest of the people are useless to us, and we won't arrest them."

After finishing speaking, the guard immediately pushed Qin Meiniang and her mother who were holding in his hand to Qin Meiniang's father's side, then climbed on the horse and drove away.

Qin Meiniang's father immediately hugged Qin Meiniang and her mother, full of concern:

"Madame, are you alright?"

Qin Meiniang and her mother said sadly:

"I'm fine, Mei Niang let them arrest me, how is this good?"

Liu Feng then stepped forward and said:

"Uncle, aunt, don't worry, I'll rush to Kyoto City right now, please believe me, I will rescue Mei Niang no matter what, you two elders and my family will wait for us in this inn."

Qin Meiniang's father immediately said seriously:

"Liu Feng, these guards are all subordinates of the county lord, it is impossible for the county lord to arrest Mei Niang for no reason, I suspect that there must be some conspiracy in this, just like last time I was with your aunt, I was also arrested in this way, and later I also had a murder case related to our husband and wife, I don't know that Mei Niang has trouble this time, it's really unlucky, why are these bad things all the people in our family bumped into."

Liu Feng was stunned, and he was also puzzled and puzzled, "They are all guards under the county lord, I think the problem should be easy to handle, as long as it is not the guards under Wan Qing, you two elders, please rest assured, I will rush to the county lord's mansion now, I will definitely find out this matter, let the county lord release him, and never let Mei Niang get involved in any more cases." ”

Qin Meiniang and her mother were full of worries and said:

"Liu Feng, then you can go quickly, we will wait for you to come back safely in this inn, you must find a way to rescue Mei Niang, please be considered a big lady."

Liu Feng then said seriously:

"Don't worry, auntie, you just wait in the inn, I will definitely bring Mei Niang back to you soon, don't worry!"

Qin Meiniang's father then said:

"Liu Feng, then we will wait for your good news."

Liu Feng and his mother immediately rushed forward to Liu Feng and said:

"Feng'er, you have to be more careful here, don't act recklessly, after all, the county lord is in a high position, it is very good to be able to rescue Mei Niang, if you encounter trouble, think twice before acting, don't be in a hurry, and fight hard with the county lord's people."

Liu Feng's sister also stepped forward, "Brother, you have to take care of yourself, I believe you will be able to rescue Sister Mei Niang." ”

Liu Feng nodded and said:

"Don't worry, I will definitely rescue Mei Niang, you are waiting for us to come back in this inn."

After speaking, Liu Feng immediately turned around and prepared to hurry.

Liu Feng and her mother said loudly at Liu Feng:

"Feng'er, you have to be more careful when you go."

Liu Feng ran quickly without looking back, and went in the direction of Kyoto City.

The night gradually receded, and Qin Meiniang and her father and mother returned to the room of the inn, and they all sat until dawn.

The guards under the county lord rushed back to the house early in the morning with Qin Meiniang.

A guard came to the prefectural lord's room and clasped his fists at him:

"My lord, Qin Meiniang has been arrested."

When the county lord heard the guard's words, he immediately said with a happy face:

"Well, good, bring it in."

After speaking, the guard got up and shouted outside the door:

"Bring Qin Meiniang in."

Outside the door, two guards immediately escorted Qin Meiniang into the room.

As soon as the county adults saw Qin Meiniang, they saw that she was as beautiful as a flower and charming, and instantly understood why Wan Qing was infatuated with her, and wanted to get her by all means.

The county lord walked up to Qin Meiniang, looked her up and down, and said:

"You are Qin Meiniang?"

Qin Meiniang looked at the county adults with a suffocated face and said:

"Back to my lord, the people's daughter is Qin Meiniang, dare to ask my lord, what crime did I commit? Why did you send someone to arrest me? ”

When the county lord heard Qin Meiniang's words, he immediately smiled bitterly twice, and said seriously:

"Qin Meiniang, in fact, it is really helpless for the official to send someone to arrest you, and the official is forced to do so, so please forgive me for the offense."

Qin Meiniang said with a tangled face:

"What a helpless move, I have no choice, I see that you are relying on the power in your hands to do whatever you want, bold and reckless, since the adults can't come up with a reason to arrest me, then please raise your noble hand and let me go quickly! I'm very grateful to the adults. ”

The county lord let out a sigh of relief, and called the guards and maidservants in the room to go out.

The county lord said politely to Qin Meiniang:

"Come on, Miss Qin, please sit down, if you listen to my hardships first, I don't think you will think that this official is a heinous person and a bad official."

Qin Meiniang stood motionless and said:

"The adults are polite, how dare the little woman sit with a humble identity!"

The county lord smiled and said seriously:

"Miss Qin, actually, it's not that the official wants to arrest you, and you haven't done anything hurtful, but, yesterday, that Wan Qing suddenly came to my house and took away my wife and children, and he threatened me that if the official didn't help him arrest you and hand them over to him, then he would poison my wife and children, so the official really had no choice but to agree to Wan Qing's matter, so I sent my guards to arrest you."

As soon as Qin Meiniang heard the words of the county lord, her heart suddenly tightened, and she was full of depression, "What! Wan Qing persecuted you and asked you to send someone to arrest me! This, this Wan Qing is really crazy! For my sake, he's really good at finding a way! ”

The county lord sighed and said:

"But no, after seeing Miss Qin today, I understand why this Wan Qing will be so entangled with you, your beauty and appearance are rare in Jinfeng Kingdom, no wonder this Wan Qing will be infatuated with you, besides, even if the official hands you over to Wan Qing temporarily, he will not hurt you, and the official assures you that as long as Wan Qing releases my wife and children, I will report this matter to the emperor or the queen mother as soon as possible, and the official will definitely find a way to save you again."

Qin Meiniang couldn't help laughing twice, crying and laughing, "My lord, why should the little woman believe your words?" Also, even if your wife and children are captured by Wan Qing, should you sacrifice me to save your family? Don't you feel guilty about doing this? You obviously know what this Wan Qing is, but you still arrested me and prepared to exchange me for your relatives, aren't you selfish in doing so? Instead of saying that you will find a way to save me afterwards, it is better to present Wan Qing's actions to the emperor or the queen mother now, and ask them to make decisions for you, wouldn't it be better? ”

The county lord was stunned, and took a breath, "Miss Qin, this official knows that this official wants to exchange you for my wife and children, I am a little selfish, but if I don't arrest you and go directly to the emperor or the queen to explain this matter, then Wan Qing is so insidious and cunning, if I can save my wife and children, if I can't save them, then their lives will be in danger." ”

Qin Meiniang listened to the words of the county lord, and couldn't help but be stunned, "My lord, you are really cruel to the little woman by doing this, you obviously know that Wanqing is not a good person, you still have to decide to arrest me and exchange it with him for your wife and children, I really can't accept it, so, I beg you, you better let me go, we can go and beg the queen mother together, she must have a way to rescue your wife and children, okay?" ”

The county lord smiled bitterly twice and said seriously:

"Miss Qin, if we go and ask the queen mother to solve this matter now, even if we rescue my wife and children, then Wan Qing will still hold a grudge, and when this matter passes, he will come to me to make trouble, the best way now is to be wronged first, and after I use you to exchange with Wan Qing for my wife and children, I will definitely find a way to save you, please believe in this official."

Qin Meiniang couldn't help but say with a puzzled face:

"No, I don't want to be caught by Wan Qing again, I won't go back even if I die, my lord, you should be merciful and let me go, I'll just treat it as if nothing happened, and I won't tell anyone about it, you better find another way to save your wife and children!"

When the county lord heard Qin Meiniang's words, his face suddenly sank, "Miss Qin, you are a smart person, and the official has already explained the matter to you quite clearly, don't force me, I can promise you that when my wife and children are rescued safely, after I settle them down, I will definitely find a way to save you, you just wronged for a few days first, why is it so difficult?" ”

Qin Meiniang said seriously:

"My lord, that Wan Qing has caught me several times before, and I was rescued by the queen mother, but this time, if you hand me over to him again, I'm afraid it may not be so simple for the queen mother or any of you to rescue me again, so I don't want to be arrested by Wan Qing again, my lord, can you watch me be arrested and tortured to death by Wan Qing in order to save your wife and children?"
