Chapter 54: A Night Visit to Qunfang Pavilion

I didn't know where to start, Qin Yan was thinking about arresting someone to ask, when a young man dressed as a small guy entered the Moon Gate with a tray and came to this side courtyard. He muttered as he walked, "Isn't she just a dancer, she still wants to put on a score, and she has to drink sweet soup in the middle of the night, and I'm not afraid of fattening you!" ”

The little girl's hat was crooked on his head, his clothes were disheveled, and he pulled his shoes and yawned and knocked on the door of a lighted room: "Sister Xue'er, have you slept?" There was no one in the room, and the little girl muttered some unfinished words and then knocked again: "Sister Xue'er, the lotus seed soup you want is here, open the door!" ”

There were a few soft coughs in the room, and a young female voice replied with a slight annoyance, "Just put it at the door, what's it called!" ”

"Okay, Sister Xue'er drink it while it's hot, and the little one is here for you!" The little servant took out the bowl in the tray and put it on the windowsill, carried the tray in one hand, rubbed his eyes with the other, and turned around and walked back silently.

Qin Yan stood sideways by the window, someone in the house came to the door, opened the door in a moment and served the bowl of sweet soup, closed the door again and bolted. Qin Yan flew onto the roof the moment the door opened.

Leaning over the roof, he lifted a roof tile and looked down, and on the bed, a woman in a pink middle coat sat leaning in a pile of brocade quilts, coughing softly.

Another woman, who was younger, came in with a bowl.

Qin Yan looked at it fixedly, it was the daughter that the old woman said in the evening, "Sister Yue'er, you drink a little more, not for anything else, your body still needs to be maintained, otherwise you will be distressed when your son returns!" ”

"Where does he still feel sorry for me, Wan'er doesn't know what means he used, Childe was bluffed by her and refused to come, cough cough!" The woman who was called Sister Yue'er wept very sentimentally.

Qin Yan covered the roof tiles and floated to the ground, stood still at the door, reached out and knocked on the door, 'knock, knock'.

After a long time, no one answered the door in the house, and there was no sound of even the previous talking, Qin Yan still heard very light footsteps coming towards the door, he put the square towel on the windowsill, and hid by the wall.

After a while, the door slowly opened, and the one named Xue'er looked out with the door, and saw the towel on the windowsill at a glance, reached out and took it to take a look, and suddenly burst out of the house and looked around. After making sure that there was no one, he quietly tucked the square towel into the cuffs, quickly calmed down, and went back as if nothing happened.

Qin Yan wanted to go back the same way, but the moment he turned around, he faintly heard the cry, and followed the sound to the deep courtyard again, in a smaller courtyard, it was completely dark, and the cries of many people were mixed together.

The small courtyard was guarded, and a strong man was guarding each of the two courtyards, scolding and shouting.

Curious for a while, surprised for a while, Qin Yan went around to the back of the house and went up to the back slope of the roof, lifted a tile and looked at it through the moonlight, there were no beds and other displays in the hut, there were some straw mats on the ground, and more than a dozen women were tied hand and foot, gagged, and thrown on the straw mat, unable to cry loudly, and were secretly whimpering.

Thinking of what the woman who was hit said that her daughter was abducted four years ago, Qin Yan intuitively told him that these women should also come from such a background, with a hint of anger at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and secretly clenched his fists.

Closing the roof tiles, he quietly left Qunfang Pavilion from a high place with light body skills.

The emperor's order was in his body, and Qin Yan was not allowed to ask about the miscellaneous matters here, and after weighing it, he did not return to Jinghu Spring Winery, and went to the yamen of Qingyuan County Mansion alone.

On the fifth watch, Qin Yan entered the county government from the main gate generously.

The guards at the door didn't recognize him, and they stood in the way. Qin Yan put his hands into his arms, took out something and shook it in front of the two guards, held it in his hand, and stood upright, his face solemn.

In the middle of the night, when one of the guards understood, he crawled to the inner house to report. The other was finally woken up by his companion, bowed down and saluted, gave his hand into the hall of the mansion, and hurriedly went to make tea.

When the county government Yuanzhang trotted to the lobby in disheveled clothes, Qin Yan was blowing away the floating leaves with a tea cup in one hand, and slowly drank the tea. The ebony token sat quietly on the table in the lobby.

Yuan Zhang slammed to the ground under the hall, and a group of people behind him knelt down behind him. "I don't know that General Qin is coming, and the lower officials are late to greet him, please forgive the general!" Speak respectfully, bend down and bow.

Qin Yan looked at his words and deeds, and knew in his heart that he had come to the wrong place, and drank the tea quietly.

Yuan Zhang stood under the hall, dripping with cold sweat, and his body was like a sifting chaff. I don't know where I offended this emperor's general, and I was worried in my heart.

After drinking most of the hot tea, Qin Yan finally put down the teacup, "Yuanzhang, are you guilty?" ”

"The lower officials and the lower officials are ignorant, and they don't know what crime they have committed, so please ask General Qin to make it clear and clear!" Yuan Zhang suddenly became nervous, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Qin Yan.

"Yuanzhang, when the saint is still in the palace, he will go to court early, but now that he has entered the palace, you have not gone to court for a long time, how to deal with this crime of delaying official business?" Qin Yan played with the token in his hand inadvertently.

Yuan Zhang is the younger brother of Dali Temple Qing Yuanwen, Yuanwen is the person of the six princes, resourceful by nature, and can maneuver among the hundred officials without showing traces, which shows that this person is good at mental skills.

Although the identity of the sixth prince Chu Li is noble, he is humble and courteous, and his temperament is free and easy, so he has won the sacred heart. On the surface, he is quiet and hides himself very deeply, but in private, he is the one who covets the throne the most, and he is the most powerful competitor of Prince Yue.

With the connivance of the emperor, he quietly bought people's hearts.

Qin Yan knew the affairs of the court well, and turned a blind eye to Chu Li's repeated temptations in the open and secret, which had already attracted Chu Li's attention. He didn't know that his existence was crucial, and it would determine which side of his forces would be favored in the future battle for the throne, and that would be the most favorable background and backstage.

Yuan Zhang has no scheming in Yuan Wen, most of them are placed in a fixed position as a weight to occupy the initiative in the future. He is timid and fearful, and he has a good sex, which Qin Yan doesn't know. So much so that today's Qin Yan misestimated his ability, and the Qunfang Pavilion incident later caused Xiao Wall, and Qin Yan was also involved. At that time, he was fighting for the country on the frontier, and if it weren't for the fact that there was no one in Eastern Chu who could stand out, he would have been wronged and didn't know how many times he had been wronged.

Yuan Wen was so frightened by Qin Yan that his legs were weak and knelt down in the hall, "The lower and lower officials know their mistakes, please General Qin raise your noble hand and spare the lower officials this time, and the lower officials will thank each other with all their might!" This Yuanzhang looked down on Qin Yan, thinking that it was just an ordinary official who came to reach out and take some benefits. I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and my tone became free.

Qin Yan looked at his face and was disappointed in his heart. The sky was faint, and he was impatient to deal with him, "Yuanzhang, how to sentence people for buying and selling people without permission?" His eyes implied tiger might, and he asked sharply.

"Fight a hundred, flow three thousand miles!" Yuan Zhang replied happily, bolder.

"That's good, a side courtyard in Qunfang Pavilion is holding the abducted population, this matter can be big or small, you should be careful to visit. Needless to say, if you do it well, if you don't do it well, I will take off this hat on your head with my own hands! Qin Yan didn't bother to speak, and he didn't wait for Yuan Zhang to express his position, and strode out of the hall after finishing speaking.

After Qin Yan finished the matter here, he returned to Jinghuchun Winery, Jiang Tao had already prepared his horse, waited outside the door, watched the master come back from outside, and walked forward quickly, "Childe, you can hurry!" ”

"Hmm!" Qin Yan took the reins, didn't say much, just flew on the saddle and hit the horse.

Jiang Tao followed and mounted his horse and followed.

After that, he did not enter the city again for two days and nights, hungry and thirsty.

The master and servant returned to the outside of Linchuan City before dawn on the fourth day, and the soldiers and horses under the command of Qin Yan were guarding the city, putting down the drawbridge and opening a small door on one side to let the two of them enter the city.

Qin Yan returned to Xiangguo Mansion to wash and change clothes, and Yin Shi appeared in the ranks of the early dynasty.

On this day, the early court was not discussing war, the king of the Northern Desert sent an envoy to deliver a letter of peace, and the emperor dragged the sick body to make a holy decree, which was personally received by King Li.

Qin Yan stood in the crowd with an icy aura, and his armor and robes shaped his tall figure into something even more heroic.

Please order the training of the troops, the emperor has approved it.

After retiring from the dynasty, Qin Yan and his son were left alone, and after hesitating again and again, the emperor finally opened his mouth and said what he thought in his heart: "Qin Aiqing, when will Qin Yan's marriage be done?" ”

Qin Xiangguo looked at Qin Yan with a side face, guessing what the emperor meant, seeing that the saint called Qin Yan's name directly at this time, it was obvious that he was close, "The martial arts conference has just ended, and it depends on the meaning of the Yu family, the two children have reached the marriageable age, which day do you think is more appropriate, Your Majesty?" ”

The emperor squinted his eyes and stared at Qin Yan, seeing that he was still unapproachable, he couldn't help but hesitate in his heart, his favorite is Xiao Qi, everything is obedient, that child is eccentric, he likes this lump of ice, and he has a marriage contract since he was a child, which is the daughter of the overlord of the rivers and lakes, and he is also a master who is not easy to get along. If you want your own heart to be small, it is absolutely impossible, even if you have a flat wife, you have wronged Xiao Qi, and you have lost your country. But looking at Qin Yan's appearance, I am afraid that he has never had the intention of climbing the emperor's family, which really makes him embarrassed.

"The tenth day of the fifth month is the best auspicious day of the zodiac this year, and there is still one month to prepare, Qin Aiqing, do you think this day is good?" The emperor twisted his beard with one hand, hid his mind and pretended to be happy to look at Qin Shaohui.

Qin Xiangguo pulled Qin Yan with one hand, knelt down in his robe and thanked the emperor, and happily accepted the wedding date.

"Hahaha, flat body, children's marriage is a major event, and those of us as parents should suffer some hardships and take care of it ourselves. Come on, reward General Qin with 100 pieces of silk, 100 taels of gold, 1,000 taels of silver, 100 pieces of jewelry and jade treasures of various colors, and make General Qin's 100-year-old congratulatory gift! ”

The emperor's personal relatives followed Father-in-law Zhang to say goodbye and ordered a group of little eunuchs to prepare rewards.

Qin Xiangguo knelt down again and thanked the emperor, but Qin Yan did not change his complexion, and still thanked him like a block of ice that had not been civilized for ten thousand years.

Let's say that the three of Weiyang were waiting for the news of the dragon envoy in Luochuan City, and in a hurry, they only found out that the people brought back by Gu Tianyu were from Qingyuan County. Yuanzhang, the county government of Qingyuan County, received Qin Yan's order and led people to search the 'Qunfang Pavilion' to startle the snakes, and the 'Qunfang Pavilion' transferred these abducted women, and Gu Tianyu brought them back to Luochuan City unknowingly, and still hid in the Qinglou.

"How about we explore 'Xiangqiu' at night?" Weiyang's lips were slightly curved, and he looked at Cang Xin mischievously with his eyelids.

Cang Xin thought for a while before he said: "I don't know which big tree this Gu family relies on, so fearless, it's time to dig its bottom." ”

"I thought that Luochuan was far away in the end, even if there was chaos in the capital sooner or later, it would not be possible to solve the eyebrows here. But now it seems that Prince Yue and King Li are so impatient in private. Weiyang sneered.

Cang Xin's face was solemn, "This time, it was Qin Yan who alarmed the dark stake of Qingyuan County, which caused Gu Tianyu to appear." It will be known in the past two days, and if the Luochuan Chenggu family is also involved, the young master should make plans as soon as possible. ”

"We'll talk about it after tonight!" Weiyang is a little sluggish.

The three of them briefly discussed the night's actions, and Cang Xin went to prepare.

Feng Sai's face was frosty, and he got up and walked out, and Weiyang couldn't help but roll his eyes at his back.

When she returned to the room, she still held the book of soldiers, but her mind couldn't sink into the book, thinking about the miscellaneous things of this time. Thinking about it in a frenzy, he simply jumped out of the window into the yard, pulled out the flaming whip from his waist, and practiced the whipping technique.
