Chapter 80: The Woman of Zi County
Qiu Qing responded, opened the box happily, and said a particularly exaggerated "wow".
"It's beautiful!" She opened her mouth and praised loudly, "Second Young Master's gift is the best!" ”
Li Mingyun and Chunyu glanced at each other and couldn't help laughing.
Qiu Qing looked at it intently for a long time, and then ran to open other boxes.
Li Mingyun also watched it along.
The jewels inside are stacked neatly and beautifully to look at.
The eldest brother who was also in the capital gave two pairs of precious calligraphy, knowing that she liked to practice calligraphy and specifically tracing it for her, and the third brother's gift was a jade night pearl, he had always felt that giving gifts was the most cumbersome, so he sent such things every time.
Several elders in the family each gave a large box of jewelry, as well as precious and fancy silk.
There is also the box that Brother Yi Ze gave her.
When she opened it, it was a strangely shaped stone, which at first glance looked like a dog's head.
"What is this?" Qiu Qing looked at it curiously, and also discovered the mystery of the stone, "Stone dog?" ”
"I guess so." Chunyu nodded, "This gift is quite special." ”
The stone was white with red lines, and it didn't look ordinary, but the dog's head made it look rather stupid.
Li Mingyun tugged at the corners of his mouth and put things on the table.
There were other people's gifts, and she opened them one by one, looking carefully and slowly, as if she was deliberately dragging time.
Chunyu moved her lips, thought about it and still didn't speak.
She felt that the young lady had become a little strange.
The whole person is like an unconscious wooden man, who doesn't know what to do, but just looks with his eyes and does what he sees.
Thinking about it, she heard the young lady calling her name, and immediately came back to her senses.
"Spring rain." Li Mingyun looked at her and smiled softly, "What are Xue Guards and Steward Li going to do with my father?" ”
Although he was laughing, he didn't laugh in his eyes.
Chunyu replied: "Xue Guard said that there was movement in the Qin Mansion today, and he originally came to report to you when he returned to the mansion, but he found that you were missing and went to look for you." ”
After she finished speaking, she leaned in and whispered, "Guard Xue said that the little guy left the house in the middle of the day today, and he followed the little guy all the way and found that he had sneaked into a house. ”
The tone of her voice seemed to be telling some great secret, and even the jumping Qiu Qing couldn't help but listen to her carefully.
Li Mingyun's heart was slightly relaxed, but she faintly felt that Xue Yan might have discovered something big, otherwise she wouldn't have gone to find her father.
And the recent major event for my father is the disappearance of a woman in Zi County.
Could it be ......
She frowned.
Chunyu felt that what she was going to say next would shock them, and she moved closer.
"Xue Guards found that there were seven or eight women locked up there." She said, "It could be those missing Zixian women......
The news was so shocking.
Rao is Li Mingyun just guessed and couldn't believe it.
The little guy in the Qin Mansion was the person next to Qin Ce, and he didn't have the ability to arrest these women quietly by himself, so this matter was done by Qin Ce.
Did he do such a bad thing?
Qiu Qing didn't expect this, she opened her eyes wide and said, "Chunyu, you mean, that little guy caught those women?" ”
"It's horrible." She covered her face and walked around the house, "Why do little guys do bad things?" Today's little guy is too, he looks honest, he is the kind of person who won't fight back when he beats him, but he didn't expect to cheat me and Miss out, and he met such a villain. ”
She chattered and was quite afraid, even though she knew that she was safe at this time, she couldn't help but shake her body.
Chunyu rolled her eyes.
"The little guy is just a disguise, and the real mastermind behind the scenes is someone else!" She said, looking at Li Mingyun, "Miss, what do you think about this matter?" ”
Li Mingyun said lightly: "The matter is inconclusive, when my father and they come back, everything will be revealed." ”
If it was really Qin Ce who arrested those women, it is estimated that the people of the Gwangju Mansion would not let him go, even if there was a relationship between the Qin family and the Wang family.
Because those officials in the government are all good officials who really do things for the people.
It's just that she was originally going to let Xue Yan find evidence of Qin Ruxin's hired murderer, but she didn't expect to accidentally find out what Qin Ce did.
What a coincidence.
If Qin Ce is convicted, it will definitely affect the Qin family, and I don't know if the man in black will still be desperate and bite his previous rhetoric.
"It would be better if I could arrest Miss Qin!" Chunyu said indignantly, "Neither of them is a good thing!" ”
Li Mingyun smiled, but didn't think about it anymore.
Because she has something very important to do.
……
……
"Is that really the case?"
Pei Yan asked with a twisted eyebrow, his eyes gradually becoming serious.
Li Zhihuai said yes.
"The man found that the man was sneaky, and thought he had stolen something, so he followed him all the way, but he heard a woman's cry for help from the house, and then he found that there were more than a dozen women locked up there." He said, his expression indignant and solemn, "Now I have sent a team of men to the house first, lest anyone find out and destroy the evidence first." ”
Xue Yan said that he was ordered by Yun'er to investigate the killer's accomplices, and accidentally found the little guy, he thought about this Lord Pei didn't know, so he hid it, only said that a passer-by thought the person was strange and followed him, and reported to him when he found that it was wrong.
Pei Yan slapped the table, and there was a loud "bang".
"It makes no sense." His eyes flashed with anger, "There really is such a shameless person in this Gwangju City!" ”
"Master Li, let's rush over immediately, rescue those women, and by the way, find out the people behind the scenes, so that he can be punished as he deserves!"
Li Zhihuai nodded.
The two men took more than a dozen soldiers and rode to the house.
At this time, the sky is not dark, the streets are still noisy, and people come and go on the road, chattering each other about their parents' shortcomings.
The horses' hooves burst and galloped over, and when they saw that they were led by Master Pei and Master Li, they all gave way.
"What's wrong?" Someone asked puzzled.
"Master Pei, they are in such a hurry, I'm afraid they have something important to do......
"Don't rush." A kind old man sat on a stall drinking tea, "If something happens, the government will tell us the ...... of the people."
"yes......"
With the sound of everyone's discussions, Pei Yan and Li Zhihuai came to the house where the woman was closed.
The house doesn't look inconspicuous at all, and there are no signs, so no one cares who it is if they don't check it.
The gate was locked, but it wasn't too hard an obstacle for them.
"Enter!" Pei Yan waved his hand, and all the officers and soldiers stepped forward together, slammed the door hard, and opened the door in a moment.
When they entered, the courtyard was empty, except for a well on the right, which looked depressed and dilapidated.
The house in front is divided into east and west sides, with the east house slightly wider and the west house slightly narrower.
The officers and soldiers rushed into the door with knives, and heard the women screaming.
Pei Yan approached the house and saw that more than a dozen women inside were tied with their hands tied and looked frightened, and hurriedly explained: "Don't be afraid, everyone, I am Pei Yan, the prefect of Gwangju, and I am here to rescue you out." ”
The women loosened their ties and kowtowed to Pei Yan and the others to thank them again and again.
"My lord, you have to make the decision for the little girl!" One of the women slammed her head so hard that it was bleeding.
The other women, however, were hiding from the side, as if they were not going to say anything, and some people gave her a look to stop her.
"Master Pei." Li Zhihuai walked in from the door, and several officers and soldiers behind him grabbed two mothers-in-law who were speechless.
"These two are rough mothers-in-law who cook on the fire." "It's just that they're mute and can't speak." ”
"Nothing."
Pei Yan raised his hand and looked at the woman kneeling on the ground, "This girl, if you have anything to say, I, Pei Yan, will definitely make the decision for you." ”
When a woman heard this, she was about to move, but was secretly stopped by someone else holding her hand.
They didn't dare to say what happened to them, for fear that they would be pointed at when they entered the government and discredit themselves and their families.
The woman on the ground looked up, blood streaming down her forehead, looking bleak and pitiful, but the firmness in her eyes was moving.
"Little girl Hui'er, sue Qin Ce, the young master of the Qin family, for the crime of kidnapping."
