Chapter 012: Everything is ready
The west wing of the Qian Mansion is as quiet as no one. Rui'er leaned in Zhang Lao's arms and was obediently silent. Zhang Laoduan sat on the chair in the hall, and he was also silent. Qian Ruyu and the others sat quietly around the round table, looking at Qin Xuan. Everyone's thoughts were rushing, anxious and overflowing, and their hearts were tumbling like waves. Qin Xuan paced around alone, thinking hard about a good strategy.
Suddenly, Qin Xuan stood with his sleeves brushed up, and in the eyes of everyone's expectation, he slowly spoke: "Although the case is clear, it must be chosen carefully. In my opinion, there are three things that must be done. β
After waiting for a long time, Song Yimin's heart was already burning, and he urged: "Gongzi Qin hurriedly explained, what are the three things?" β
"First, rescue Xiaocui's father. Only when Xiaocui's father is rescued will the case be settled and Brother Qian will be released. Qin Xuan said in a calm tone.
Qian Ruyu frowned, and asked suspiciously: "Xiaocui's father is afraid that he is hidden by Zhu Hongwen at this time, how can he be saved?" β
The corners of Qin Xuan's mouth curved slightly, and he said confidently: "Go and visit Zhu Hongwen, I believe that when I explain the powerful relationship, Zhu Hongwen will definitely hand over Xiaocui's father to me." β
Qian Ruyu was a little worried, and said in an anxious tone: "How can Zhu Hongwen listen to you, or don't go, in case Zhu Hongwen has bad intentions, then what should I do!" β
Qian Ruyu's concern made Qin Xuan very happy, and patted Qian Ruyu's shoulder to show comfort. "Yu'er, don't worry, if I'm not sure, I won't be in danger."
Qian Ruyu was about to say more, Qin Xuan waved his hand, and then said: "Second, settle the case, Xiaocui is an important witness to overturn the case in the future, and Brother Ruhai is also the person who must be saved." Third, I have a friend who is an official in Kyoto, and Brother Song will definitely be able to overturn the case if he comes to visit him with my letter. β
Zhang Lao stroked the goat's whiskers and stared at Qin Xuan and thought secretly. I haven't heard Zhihao say this, could it be that Zhihao was born in a family of eunuchs? Song Yimin looked at Qin Xuan's gaze and also became a little awe-inspired. Qin Gongzi actually has a friend who is an official in Kyoto, and it seems that I have always underestimated him.
Qin Xuan sighed, and said, "Actually, I'm still a little worried, the Zhu family's father and son, they will definitely repay each other, and they will definitely not allow the hanging knife on their heads." Therefore, I think it is best for the Qian and Song families to leave Guangling. β
After listening to Qin Xuan's words, Song Yimin pondered for a moment and said calmly: "Well, for the sake of the Song family's future, I will go home and give orders, and prepare to leave." Since Qin Gongzi has friends in Kyoto, then I will go to Kyoto to live, firstly, to help Zhu Hongwen subdue the law, and secondly, to appreciate the style of the imperial capital. β
Qin Xuan looked at Qian Ruyu again. "Yu'er, you should also explain the matter to Mrs. Qian, if Mrs. Qian agrees, then hurry up and clean up, if you don't want to, then you will pack up your personal belongings and prepare to leave with me."
"Yes!" Qian Ruyu looked shy, nodded slightly, and responded softly.
A smile appeared on Qin Xuan's face. "Okay, time is pressing, I'm going to visit Zhu Hongwen."
Zhu's mansion is the home of the bureaucrats, and the gatehouse is more magnificent than that of the Qian and Song families. The gatehouse is a symbol of a family's poverty and wealth, and the so-called "door rank" is this meaning, so the gatehouse building of the famous mansion is particularly exquisite. Qin Xuan saw the gatehouse of Zhufu in front of him, the gate was in the center, and the gatehouses on both sides were not worse than the main houses of ordinary houses, and there were a pair of copper knockers on the door, showing a luxurious atmosphere.
Qin Xuan knocked on the door to report, and only for a moment, Zhu Hongwen slowly walked out in a luxurious robe. Seeing Qin Xuan, he sneered: "Yo, isn't this the prince of Qin who wants to help the Qian Mansion settle affairs?" β
Qin Xuan smiled at Zhu Hongwen's ridicule, and said calmly: "I have something to say to Zhu Gongzi, can you find a quiet place to talk?" β
Qin Xuan's proposal, Zhu Hongwen was not interested, waved his hand disdainfully, and said: "No need, if you have something to say, just say it here!" β
Qin Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with a light smile. "Makeup Pavilion Superior Mountain Flower Rouge."
Zhu Hongwen was stunned suddenly, what does this guy know? Could it be that my plan and Xiaocui's plan have been discovered by this guy? I got all the rouge I gave to Xiaocui back? Looking at Qin Xuan's smiling appearance, Zhu Hongwen's heart sank, and he said coldly: "Go, go to my room!" β
In Zhu Hong's room, sandalwood is smoked, and the fragrance is overflowing. Several paintings and calligraphy are hanging, quite bookish. The best mahogany chairs are placed in the hall in an orderly manner.
Zhu Hongwen sat directly in the hall, anxious as a spark, and asked, "What do you know?" β
Qin Xuan smiled slightly and sat on the chair next to Zhu Hongwen. "Everything that should be known is here, and everything that shouldn't be known is also known below! Things like arsenic, rouge, poisoning, etc., are well known below! β
Zhu Hongwen stared at Qin Xuan with straight eyebrows, thinking in his heart. Shaft An dares to do this, and you still want to blackmail me? Then I thought, since this guy is looking for me, he shouldn't be looking for me to be happy, I'm afraid there is something to ask! After thinking it through, Zhu Hongwen stretched his brows and said gently: "Since Gongzi Qin is here, it must not be just for intimidation, I don't know what you want?" β
This Zhu Hongwen is not stupid, which also saves a lot of tongue. Qin Xuan smiled and said: "Zhu Gongzi is quick to talk, then he won't beat around the bush in the next place, he just hopes that Zhu Gongzi will raise his noble hand and let go of Xiaocui's father and daughter!" β
Zhu Hongwen secretly thought, let go of Xiaocui's father and daughter? Isn't that a trick to accept people! said coldly: "Hmph, Qin Gongzi is not afraid that he will directly detain and remove you?" As he spoke, he reached out and made a gesture of slashing his neck.
Qin Xuan laughed. "Zhu Gongzi, I am cheap, I can have Zhu Gongzi to accompany the burial, and I will die without regrets!"
"You-" Zhu Hongwen stood up and pointed at Qin Xuan angrily. He took a deep breath, lowered his arm, sat down on the chair, and said in a cold voice: "What Gongzi Qin said, there is nothing that can be done below!" β
Load, you will load it for me. Qin Xuan couldn't stop scolding in his heart, still with a smile on his face. "According to my understanding, the whereabouts of Xiaocui's father, I'm afraid only Zhu Gongzi knows!"
Zhu Hongwen glanced sideways when he heard this, and glanced at Qin Xuan. "Yes, the father of Xiaocui does know where it is. However, Xiaocui's matter is beyond my strength. β
Qin Xuan raised his hand to salute. "Then thank Gongzi, as for the Song family's drug case, it will end in an accident, and several suspects, including Xiaocui, will be safe, in addition, after the case is over, Xiaocui's father and daughter will leave Guangling County with the Song family, in this way, I believe that Zhu Gongzi will be more at ease!"
As long as the Qian family does not leave, it will be the best, as soon as the Song family leaves, the Qian family is lonely, and it is easy to clean up the money like a sea. At that time, Qian Ruyu is not in the palm of my Zhu Hongwen's hand! Thinking of this, Zhu Hongwen grabbed Qin Xuan's arm and asked excitedly, "Is this true?" β
How did Qin Xuan know that Zhu Hongwen still had so many fancy intestines, and immediately affirmed: "Of course! β
"Okay, Xiaocui's father will order someone to send it to the Qian family in the future." Zhu Hongwen didn't finish his words, and stared at Qin Xuan with a pair of eyes.
Hmph, this kid Zhu Hongwen is playing this word game with me! Don't say before or after the opening of the hall, do you think I, Qin Xuan, am a fool? Qin Xuan sneered in his heart, and opened his mouth to say, "No, I hope that Zhu Gongzi will send Xiaocui's father to the Song family before the hall opens." β
After Qin Xuan finished speaking, Zhu Hongwen blurted out: "No, after the case is over!" β
Qin Xuan waved his hand slightly. "Zhu Gongzi, are you still afraid that you will break your word, if you fail to make the case end by accident, then Ling Zunda does not have to close the case, and I and others will naturally not be able to leave!"
Zhu Hongwen pondered for a moment. "Okay, just what Gongzi Qin said!"
Out of the Zhu Mansion, Qin Xuan was relieved and immediately felt refreshed. I thought in my heart that the Song family's drug case was finally coming to an end, and the matter of entering Beijing could be put back on the agenda. Follow the bluestone avenue and walk towards the Qian Mansion. As soon as he arrived at the gate of Qianfu, Song Ping, the old housekeeper of Song Mansion, greeted him with a smile. "Qin Gongzi, are you back? My lord asked me to give you a message, Xiaocui's father has arrived at the mansion, and the whole mansion has been cleaned up. β
Yo, this Zhu Hongwen is really quick, he is about to catch up with Cao Cao, Song Yimin is also good, very fast. Well, this matter is almost over, and it's time to prepare. Qin Xuan saluted Song Ping and said, "There is Lao Song Lao!" Go back and ask your master to find a hungry animal, such as a dog, a rabbit, a sheep, or whatever. β
Song Ping asked suspiciously, "What are you looking for?" β
"Just tell your master that you need to prepare it next." Qin Xuan showed a smile on his face and said gently. "Prepare some hawthorn and oranges."
Although Song Ping was puzzled, he didn't ask, nodded and agreed: "The old man knows." Does Qin Gongzi have any other orders? β
"By the way, there should still be the lobster you brought back last time, right?" Qin Xuan suddenly came to his senses and patted his forehead and asked.
"There's still half a barrel left."
"That's fine, let your master bring it with him when he opens in the afternoon."
After Song Ping left, Qin Xuan went straight back to the West Wing. Rui'er cordially threw herself down in front of Qin Xuan and asked, "Uncle, when are we going to Kyoto?" β
Qin Xuan silently Rui'er's head replied with a smile: "Rui'er, don't worry. Let's go back and prepare our things now, and maybe we can leave Guangling for Kyoto tomorrow!" β
Zhang Lao stroked the goat's whiskers and said slowly: "Zhihao, could it be that the Song family's drug case is about to end?" β
Qin Xuan was very happy, and his words were full of joy. "Well, it's going to be over, and the church will open after noon. After the case is concluded, we will be able to enter Beijing and buy a home. β
The uncle and nephew talked happily with each other, and Qian Ruyu came with a worried face. Qin Xuan saw Qian Ruyu coming, and immediately got up to greet him. When he walked up, he found that Qian Ruyu was in a low mood, and hurriedly asked, "Yu'er, what's wrong with you?" β
Qian Ruyu's voice was low, and she said sadly: "Brother Xuan, my mother is reluctant to leave Guangling. β
Qin Xuan pulled Qian Ruyu to the table, motioned for her to sit down, squatted in front of Qian Ruyu, and explained: "Yu'er, don't worry, as I said before, the Qian family had better leave because of you!" β
Qian Ruyu's eyes widened and she asked suspiciously, "Me?" β
"Yes, it's because of you that Zhu Hongwen wants to get you, if Brother Hai doesn't agree, he thinks of bringing down the Qian family, and at that time you have no protective umbrella, and you are not at his mercy." Qin Xuan grabbed Qian Ruyu's hand and continued affectionately: "However, when the case is over, you will leave with me." Without you, Zhu Hongwen will definitely not frame the Qian family again! β
Qian Ruyu snorted shyly. "Brother Xuanβ"
"Hehe, alright, Yu'er. Are all the personal things you have prepared ready, we are about to leave Guangling! β
Qian Ruyu lowered her head slightly, bit her lip, and shyly said "En", ......
