When he arrived, Li Xiuqi had been waiting for a long time, and this time he was not as careless as before, and the expression on his face was a little serious.

Li Xiuqi opened his mouth and asked, "When did you come out of the capital?"

"Three days ago."

"Do you know something happened in the capital?"

Yan Qinchang was stunned: "What's wrong?" In the past few days, he has not received any news from the secret guards in the capital, or has the news been stopped?

"Do you know that Emperor Wei met a mysterious Taoist priest a few days ago, and the two had a good conversation, and now the Taoist priest lives in the palace."

"Daoist?" Yan Qinchang was a little surprised in his heart, and asked again, "Do you know the origin of this Taoist priest?"

Li Xiuqi shook his head and said with a serious expression: "This Taoist priest appeared suddenly, and at this moment he is heavily guarded in the palace, and it is difficult for my people to intervene in it." ”

I don't know what happened in this palace in the past few days, and several of the eyeliners he had planted in it were inexplicably pulled out, and this news was sent back by one of them desperately.

"And King Jing, who was originally grounded, has also been lifted, I suspect that this Taoist priest may have been deliberately inserted by him."

"Do you suspect that there are people in this palace?"

Yan Qinchang had been in the capital for more than half a year, and he knew what kind of character Emperor Wei was, so he felt that this matter was quite strange.

If someone hadn't deliberately mentioned it, how could he be interested in this Taoist priest? Even brought people to live in the palace, which is completely impossible.

Li Xiuqi took a sip of tea and said, "It's not a suspicion, but a certainty, and this person is very likely to be placed in the harem." ”

Yan Qinchang realized the seriousness of this matter, King Jing was already eyeing the six princes in the palace, and now relying on this Taoist priest to confuse Emperor Wei, there will be a lot more opportunities to attack the six princes at that time.

He immediately contacted the secret guards of Baiyun Teahouse and ordered them to send a message to Qi An in the capital.

Although he was not interested in the battle in the palace, except for Wei Jingqi, the intelligent Sixth Princes were obviously more suitable to sit in that position than him, so he had to find a way to keep the Six Princes anyway.

After receiving the news, Qi An contacted the old eunuch in the palace, and installed two secret guards around the six princes in his own name to protect his safety, and Song Guifei, who learned about it, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

can get Yan Qinchang's help, and he finally no longer worries about himself.

The heavy snow has finally stopped in the past few days, and the occasional sun also symbolizes that the weather is slowly starting to improve.

The victims who relied on soup kitchens to survive the difficult times also gradually retreated from Yunlai County and Qingshui Town, and as the weather improved and the snow melted, they were embarrassed to stay here to eat and drink together.

Chu Xinyun, who got the news, breathed a sigh of relief, although there were still a lot of sweet potato crops at home, she was also a little panicked about this long-term supply, after all, these were all recovered at her own expense.

And the villagers who planted sweet potatoes under the leadership of Chu Xinyun thanked her as much as a peak, if it weren't for the sweet potatoes planted in a few acres of fields, they might really starve to death this winter, after all, who knew that it would snow for so long?

Half a winter has passed, and there is still more than half of the sweet potatoes left in the house, and some people sell some of the sweet potatoes at home when the weather improves, while some do not move for the sake of safety.

Compared with Chujia Village, which lives a stable life, Lijia Village next door does not have such good luck.

Because of the heavy snow blocking the road and the rise in food, many people almost died without food, and later thanks to Chu Xinyun's soup soup in Qingshui Town, they were able to get through this difficult period.

Li Dabao's family is one of them, now that the heavy snow has passed, and the town and county have gradually regained their vitality, his hands that have been idle for a winter have begun to itch again.

"Great! Big! Great!"

The casino, which had been quiet for a while, was full of smoke again, Li Dabao's face was wilted but his expression was extremely excited, his eyes stared at the constantly rotating sieve in the middle of the table, and when the sieve stopped, the number of two points made him pound the table fiercely.

"Damn, this luck is too bad today!"

He scolded angrily a few times, subconsciously took out the money bag in his hand, but took out two copper plates from it, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Li Dabao swallowed his saliva and subconsciously looked around, seeing that no one was paying attention, he carefully squeezed out of the crowd and wanted to go to the door, but before he reached the door, he was blocked by two strong men.

"Yo, Li Dabao, how's your luck today?"

As soon as he saw these two people, Li Dabao's face became extremely pale, and he barely hooked the corners of his mouth to reveal a smile that was more ugly than crying: "This luck today... Seems a little... Not very good.......

When one of the men heard this, his face instantly turned gloomy, and he raised his chin and said, "Then you mean that the money is not enough?"

Li Dabao shook his head desperately: "No, if there is nothing, I will definitely pay it back!" Please two of you in the grace time...."

Before the words fell, Li Dabao was kicked out and smashed into the corner of the wall, grinning in pain.

The man stepped forward and pulled up his collar and said viciously: "You didn't say that when you borrowed money, why, you want to repay the debt?"

"Are we here to open a good church? You have to find a way to pay back the money today, or I'll cut off your hand!"

Where has Li Dabao seen this battle, when he was so frightened that he cried bitterly, he was just trying his luck before coming to the gambling house, and just when he was about to go back, these two men appeared, saying that they could lend him twenty taels of silver to continue playing, as long as they were paid back in three days.

At that time, he didn't think about it so much, he thought that he could get back to his roots, but he didn't expect that by the time he came back to his senses, the twenty taels of silver had already been lost.

"Two big brothers, spare your life! I'll definitely be on it! Please give me a few days of grace ......"

One of the men said coldly: "What do you use to pay back your penniless now?" With your life?!"

Maybe it was these words that mentioned Li Dabao, he suddenly remembered Chu Xinyun's existence, and hurriedly said: "Don't hide it from the two eldest brothers, I also have a niece at home, and I have a lot of money in my hand, I can write an IOU, and you can just ask her to get it when the time comes!"

"Niece?" The two men looked at each other for a while, and then said, "What if what you say is false?"

"Even if I have ten guts, I don't dare to lie to two!"

Li Dabao rolled his eyes and said, "Why don't I write her deed of sale to you, you must know that my niece is still a county lord!" It is said that it was sealed by His Majesty, and she will definitely not repay the debt!"

As soon as the man heard this, he immediately ordered someone to send pen and ink for Li Dabao to write the deed of sale, and then after asking for the address, he went to Chujia Village to ask for money.

At this moment, Chu Xinyun was still resting at home, the medicines she had taken inside and outside during this period of time were all found by Yan Qinchang, and after taking them for several days, the wound had begun to heal, and she was finally able to do what she could.

Yan Qinchang had been out investigating the matter for several days and had not come back, Chu Xinyun was a little worried in his heart, and was thinking about whether he should find a time to ask, when he heard a noisy voice from the door.

"What are you guys doing!"

"Is there a woman named Chu Xinyun here? We have her deed of sale!"

Wang Dalin, who was guarding the door, was stunned when he heard these words, "This is impossible!" The owner hasn't been out for a few days, so there will be a deed of sale?!"

The man at the head crossed his arms and sneered: "What's impossible, Li Dabao owes a hundred taels of silver to the gambling house, and if he can't afford to pay it back, he will take out his niece to pay off the debt, and it is only right to repay the debt!" Is it possible that you still want to deny it?"

Chu Xinyun heard the movement and walked out to check, and couldn't help frowning after hearing the words 'deed of sale' and other words: "What deed of sale, what are you talking about?"

"You are Chu Xinyun?" The man looked her up and down and nodded with satisfaction, this appearance and figure must be able to sell a lot of silver in the incense shop.

"You are ....."

Wang Dalin hurriedly said: "The owner, they said that Li Dabao lost money in the gambling house and sold you to the gambling house, and they are here to arrest people!"

Chu Xinyun suspected for a moment that he had misheard, and couldn't help but ask again: "What did you say happened to Li Dabao?"

Wang Dalin also felt that this matter was simply nonsensical to the extreme, obviously they had nothing to do with Li Dabao, and at this moment, they would be involved in himself because he couldn't afford to pay back the money he lost in gambling.

The man who came to arrest people snorted: "That's right, Li Dabao has signed a deed of sale, I advise you to get acquainted and go with me obediently, otherwise don't blame us for being polite!"

Chu Xinyun was already extremely angry in his heart, and his face sank a little when he heard such a threat at this moment: "Since it is Li Dabao who owes money, then you should ask him for money, what's the use of coming to me, not to mention that I have nothing to do with that bastard at all, isn't it a joke that you rely on a piece of waste paper to arrest people!"

Where was the man willing to listen, and immediately waved his hand and shouted: "We have already inquired about your relationship with Li Dabao, and you can reveal it just because you have no relationship?" It's only right to repay debts! Do it!"

The thugs of the gambling house came over one after another, and with a cruel smile on their faces, they were just taking money to do things, and they did all kinds of evil and had no bottom line.

As soon as Wang Dalin saw that something was wrong, he immediately protected Chu Xinyun behind him, and looked vigilantly at the thugs who came around.

"Shameless!" When Chu Xinyun heard these words, he immediately became angry.

It's obvious that Li Dabao caused the trouble, but they don't have the shame to buckle all on themselves, and what kind of deed of sale do they use to arrest people, really can't she be bullied? !

At this moment, the attendants sent by Li Xiuqi heard the movement and walked out of the courtyard one after another, and the attendants led by him looked around and asked, "Is it necessary to solve it?"

Chu Xinyun snorted coldly: "Call me all out!"

"Yes!"

After the man in the gambling house looked at the attendant who came out of the house, his expression was slightly stunned, and then he sneered: "No wonder you are so confident, and you have a helper together?"

"But just these few people, do you think you can stop so many of my brothers?" For the name of the county lord, he deliberately brought more than a dozen thugs, even if Chu Xinyun was willing to give money, he would not give up, all he wanted was to arrest him and sell it to the incense shop to make money.

This woman staring at the name of the county lord, presumably those rich squires are happy to taste it, right?

The smile on the corner of his mouth became even worse when he thought of this, as if he had seen a large amount of silver flying towards him.

But the good times didn't last long, as those figures rushed into the group of thugs, suddenly a miserable wail resounded continuously, the man looked at the scene in front of him with a dull face, and before it lasted for half a pillar of incense, the dozen thugs he brought had all fallen to the ground!

This.. It's impossible!

Chu Xinyun looked at the man's sluggish expression with interest, and then turned into frightened, and she was really extremely relieved in her heart, she deliberately said, "What, aren't you here to arrest me back?" Why don't you do it?"
