Chapter Ninety-Eight: Their Calculations
But before she went to save that person, she had to write a letter and ask someone to pass it on to Zhao Sheng. Let him know that his eldest brother's secret guard, Ling Han, is still alive, and he is in Jiayu Mansion.
A moment later.
Qin Li returned home, found medicinal wine, and wrote a letter for Zhao Sheng. The point was only to mention things related to Ling Han.
After writing the letter, Qin Li carried the letter on his body, took the carriage to the Jiayu Inn, and asked Uncle Shi's friend Zhen Heng to do him a favor.
Along the way, Qin Li didn't open the window of the carriage, but after getting out of the carriage, she deliberately observed if there were any suspicious people following her.
I'm afraid that I will be the same as Ziqin, when I come to Jiayu Inn, I will be followed by Fu Yu. She came to the inn because she was in a hurry to find someone to help, but she didn't have time to reason with Fu Yu.
Qin Li looked around, only to see that there were no suspicious people approaching, so he walked into the inn with Niu Huaiyu with confidence. She waited in the private room next to the hall and asked Niu Huaiyu to go upstairs to see Zhen Heng.
The guest room where Zhen Heng stayed was on the second floor of the inn.
Niu Huaiyu went upstairs to see Zhen Heng and explained the situation to Zhen Heng. Taking this opportunity, he handed the letter written by Qin Li to Zhen Heng and said, "Lord Zhen, our young lady asks you to do a favor and help transfer the letter to the third son." ”
Zhen Heng stretched out his hand to take the letter, put it away properly, and said:
"Tomorrow morning, the old man happens to have a friend who wants to go back, and he can help Li'er bring the letter back to the imperial city, and Lord Tuoshi will pass it on to the third prince."
Niu Huaiyu bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Zhen." In addition to the matter of bringing letters, which needs to bother adults, the young lady also has a matter, and she also asks the small ones to ask the adults for help. I don't know ...... adults."
"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Zhen Heng smiled slightly and said:
"Before Lord Shi left Jiayu Mansion, he told the old man that the affairs of the people of the Qin family are our own affairs."
As soon as he heard this, Niu Huaiyu felt a lot more relieved, and told Zhen Heng about Qin Li's desire to ask Zhen Heng to help save people.
The young lady said that the Wu family's wooden house was set on fire, and the people of the Wu family went to report to the official and asked the prefect of Chu to help find out the arsonist. This is a matter of course. It's just that in her opinion, the person who was taken away by those people is just a poor scapegoat. They went too far! ”
Before that, Qin Li said to Niu Huaiyu:
"That person is delirious, and he can still go to the wooden house alone in the dark of night and set fire to the Wu family's wooden house? So how good does he have to be? Qin Li waved his hand and said:
"The one who set fire to the wooden house, it can't be him!"
Just as Niu Huaiyu was thinking about what Qin Li had said, Zhen Heng's words came from his ears:
In the old man's opinion, the person who set fire to the Wu family's wooden house would not be Kuang Xiucai from Pomiao Village. It's just that the prefect of Chu said that it was him and arrested him, so we have to find a witness and ask a witness to prove that it is not him. ”
If you invite witnesses, you will inevitably tell Ling Han about it.
Because the prefect of Chu would ask, the people of the Wu family were not in the cabin that night, and Kuang Xiucai was not there. Who will be the one who really set fire to the wooden house?
"During the day, the old man had heard that there was a light in the hut that night. In other words, it was inhabited. Governor Chu will definitely ask, who was in the wooden house that night? ”
Listening to Zhen Heng's words, Niu Huaiyu also felt embarrassed, "I can't hide it, the problems that the adults have taken into account, our young lady also told the little one on the way to the inn." She said that she suspected that the person who set fire to the wooden house was sent by Prince An. ”
"Tell me." A complicated light flashed in Zhen Heng's eyes and said.
It seems that Lord Shi is right, Li'er is a smart child.
Niu Huaiyu said truthfully: "Our young lady once asked Ziqin to come to the inn and met the adults. On that day, Ziqin found out that Fu Yu was following her. It didn't take long for the Wu family's wooden house to be burned. It can be seen that the Wu family's wooden house caught fire, and it was not Kuang Xiu's doing. ”
Zhen Heng nodded slightly, thinking that it was reasonable.
牛淮雨 says:
Miss said that if those few things had nothing to do with Lord An, she really wouldn't believe it. Just today, a strange woman went to Bai's house and told Mrs. Bai that the life-saving benefactor He Chang asked Qin Li to help him save had been burned to death. The young lady said that the woman must have been sent by Prince An. ”
Prince An is just thinking that the girl of the Qin family is kind, and she will definitely not see Kuang Xiucai suffering, and will think of ways to save Kuang Xiucai before coming out.
If Miss wants to save Kuang Xiucai, she must go to the government office to explain the situation. As soon as she explained the situation, she had to tell her about saving Ling Han.
Otherwise, Governor Chu will ask, who is the person who lived in the wooden house that night?
Kuang Xiucai couldn't afford to pay for the Wu family's wooden house, but the young lady couldn't afford it. But Miss is a shrewd person, how could she suffer such a secret loss?
Maybe in the eyes of Prince An, in order to save Kuang Xiucai, Miss will tell Ling Han about Ling Han's presence in Jiayu Mansion. The person that Prince An wanted to kill was Ling Han!
Zhen Heng listened to what Niu Huaiyu said, and also told Niu Huaiyu a piece of news:
"Just half an hour ago, the old man heard that Princess An was almost hit by a hidden arrow on the way back to the suburbs after leaving Hu Ji Pharmacy. Fortunately, a master appeared in time and saved her......"
As soon as Niu Huaiyu heard about this, he went to tell Qin Li in time.
Only then did Qin Li know that the person who went to the pharmacy to give her a note today was Princess An, not a man.
I really didn't expect that Prince An would dare to hurt Princess An now. It seems that he really plans to take care of Shang Xiaoxiao until he recovers, take Shang Xiaoxiao back to the imperial city, and marry Shang Xiaoxiao as a concubine.
Hu Yao once went to the painting boat to help her find out the news. I heard Miss Yan say that her master Shang Xiaoxiao planned to be a real husband and wife with Prince An after he recovered, and gave birth to children for Prince An.
"Don't they both have children? Besides, they all ...... Not young anymore. Hu Yao said embarrassedly.
Miss Yan said, "What's that?" As long as they truly love each other, they should have a few children who belong to the two of them. Besides, Master's return to Prince An's side is a good thing for both her and her daughter, Miss Chu. ”
When Shang Xiaoxiao returned to Prince An and became Princess An, she was still worried that her daughter Chu Xinyan could not marry Prince An's eldest son as the princess?
Qin Li guessed Shang Xiaoxiao's thoughts, the corners of her lips hooked up a touch of mockery, and said to Hu Yao: "No matter whether Shang Xiaoxiao is a concubine for Chu Heng, or returns to Prince An and becomes a princess for him, she will die a miserable death." ”
"That's it." Hu Yao nodded in agreement and said:
"Let's not talk about others first, let's talk about Fu Gongzi and them, they were all introduced to Yu Xiang by the Chu Governor's Mansion, and then recommended to the emperor by Yu Xiang. As a result, Lord Shi and the others came to Jiayu to repair the bridge, and the prefect of Chu connived at Wan Hongji around them, and held a banquet in the restaurant in the name of catching the wind for Lord Shi and them......"
Wan Hongji, a small warden, is so bold. Just imagine, the Fu Gongzi recommended by the Chu Governor's Mansion can be people with good conduct? Before the emperor asked people to arrange errands for those scholars, he had to inspect and inspect the character of each of them.
"No, all the students of Jiayu Mansion who were recommended by Yu Xiang still have to be inspected at home." Qin Li thought that Fu Yu didn't have an errand to do, but he felt in his heart that he deserved it.
