He Fangniang listened to Su Ruan's words, and the suppressed grievances and fears came up, and she looked at her with red eyes while holding back tears: "Miss Su, is the court really unable to tolerate us?"

Qi Wenfu had been standing aside, and when he heard this, he suddenly said, "Where did you start talking about this?"

"If the imperial court really can't tolerate you, it won't overturn the case for you when you were in the capital, and Your Majesty won't admit that the old case of Jingnan wronged those soldiers, not only issued a decree to reward you, but also prepared to build a martyr's hall for the soldiers who died in vain."

"When you returned to Jingnan from Beijing, you were accompanied by the forbidden army to protect you all the way, and when you came back, you were even asked to settle you personally, bring back all the relatives you sent away, and ask the people of the government to take care of them."

"If the imperial court can't tolerate you, there will be countless opportunities to attack you as early as the capital or on the way back, so why wait until you come back to Jingnan to make such a big move."

After Su Ruan waited for Qi Wenfu to finish speaking, he also spoke on the side: "Fang Niang, I don't know what you have heard or misunderstood, but the court has absolutely no intention of harming you. ”

He Fangniang pursed her lips tightly and didn't speak.

Next to him, Guo Ergou spoke: "What Lord Qi said is true"

Qi Wenfu: "Of course it's true, otherwise why would I come to Jingnan"

Guo Ergou: "Can Lord Qi protect Fang Niang and them?"

"I'll do my best"

Qi Wenfu heard the meaning of Guo Ergou's words, and when Su Ruan was talking to He Fangniang just now, Xiao Mian also whispered to him about going to Guo Ergou before.

knew that those people in Jingnan were sent out and hidden by him, and if he wanted to find those people now, he could only rely on the person in front of him.

Qi Wenfu did not directly boast that Haikou would definitely be able to protect them, but said to him: "I went south this time, it was for their business, since I sent them to Beijing at the beginning, now I will naturally do my best to protect them." ”

"I know that you hid those people for He Fangniang, and I am afraid that the government will pursue them, but now they hide and refuse to show up, it will be a bad thing, if they are provoked by someone with a heart again, the matter will be transmitted back to the capital, and I will not be able to return to heaven at that time."

"This matter can only be resolved if they come back as soon as possible and make things clear."

Seeing that the two of them were still hesitating, Su Ruan couldn't help but reach out and hold He Fangniang's hand, and said to her seriously: "Fang Niang, I know you have had a hard time this time, but if you are willing to believe me and Lord Qi, then tell us the whereabouts of the others." ”

"I promise, as long as they don't kill anyone and don't have human lives on their hands, Lord Qi and I will do our best to protect you."

Su Ruan's voice was soft, but his words were loud.

He Fangniang looked at her serious black eyes, and couldn't help but look down at the hand holding her.

Su Ruan's hands are extremely small, and her skin is white and tender, and she looks a little fleshier than her, but there are many scars on the back of her hands that have not faded, and the palms are also a little rough, and there are faint traces like scabs and scars, which really don't look like the hands of Miss Everyone.

The hand was soft, and the palm temperature was a little hot.

He Fangniang broke free a little uncomfortably, and then said in a low voice:

"I believe in Lord Qi, if he hadn't taken us into Beijing, my man would have died in vain until now, but the people from the government chased and killed us before, and some of us were injured, if others went to find them, they wouldn't believe it."

"I've been hiding, and if it weren't for Huzi's illness before, I wouldn't have returned to the city."

Mo Linglan spoke: "What are they afraid of, if they don't want the people from the government to go, then I'll pick them up." ”

"Nope."

Guo Ergou shook his head: "The place where they are hiding is very hidden, but there are retreats all around, and there are boats left under the Nanhe River." ”

"I was originally in case I was found by the people of the official family so that they could escape, and let them take turns to guard the intersection, if there were too many people going, I am afraid that they would be noticed before they approached, and if they thought it was someone from the government and ran around in panic, I couldn't find them."

After he finished speaking, he saw that the other people were frowning, and said,

"Why don't I go with Fang Niang, I'll explain to them that Lord Qi and Miss Su are here, and let them come back."

"Nope"

Qi Wenfu and Su Ruan refused almost in unison.

Although He Fangniang is showing trust in them at the moment, and she is willing to communicate with them, it does not mean that no one among those people doubts them.

Those people broke into the government and injured people and hid for so many days, and then there have been people from the government to search for them, and now I am afraid that they will flee in all directions at the slightest movement.

They finally found their whereabouts, in case He Fangniang and they went, those people didn't want to believe them, and when the time came, they ran away.

Where do they go to find people

Qi Wenfu just wanted to solve Jingnan's matter as soon as possible, and he said directly without thinking about it: "I'll pick them up in person." ”

Su Ruan said, "I'll go too." ”

Qi Wenfu subconsciously wanted to refuse, it was dark now, and listening to Guo Ergou's meaning, if he wanted to find those people, he might have to go out of the city, he didn't want Su Ruan to make this trip.

Who knew that Su Ruan seemed to know what he was going to say, so he spoke in advance:

"Fourth brother, the matter in Jingnan has been in trouble for a long time, and the most important thing at the moment is to quickly bring people back, figure out what happened before, and bring the news back to Beijing, so as not to make things bigger and bigger."

"Right now, you represent the people of the government, and I am on the same side as them, and I have those experiences in Beijing before, I think they should be willing to believe me."

Seeing that Qi Wenfu was still unwilling, Su Ruan couldn't help but reach out and pull him down,

"Besides, if you go alone, I don't worry."

Qi Wenfu looked slightly stunned when he heard this, seeing her extremely serious appearance, he knew that he couldn't persuade her, and thinking that they were going together, there would probably be no big trouble, even if he really met something, he could protect her.

Qi Wenfu could only nod and agree, "You can go, but you have to follow me all the time." ”

Su Ruan hurriedly smiled: "Okay." ”

Mo Linglan didn't expect Qi Wenfu and Su Ruan to go to see those people together, and frowned a little, "Zirong, you go with Su Ruan"

Qi Wenfu hummed, "Bring the people back as soon as possible." ”

"Then I'll go with you," Mo Linglan said.

Qi Wenfu refused: "No, you still have things to do here." ”

"You go to Crepe Longan first, let him prepare the people here first, and when I bring them back, I will take people directly to the mansion, so that I can explain the previous things clearly at one time."
