Chapter XXV
Qu Qingge sat on the main seat and looked at the two leisurely, their expressions slightly embarrassed.
"Ask the girl to help again." At the moment of life and death, Ji Ming was not verbose, and bent down to beg for help.
Qu Qingge pretended to be surprised, and Xia Cao ran in and staggered: "Oh no, Miss, Madam, ...... outside." Officers and soldiers came outside. ”
Sure enough, it came! Qu Qingge gathered his hands and hid them in his cloud sleeves, and turned his head to look at Ji Ming, with an inexplicable expression: "But the person who arrested you?" ”
"Yes, yes, yes, it's them, we were so hungry a while ago, we ...... I stole their army's food, but I didn't expect them to bite us to the death. Xiao Mu hurriedly replied.
What a clever little thing, no wonder there will be such a big storm in the northern frontier in the future.
"Go to my room." Qu Qingge commanded, calmly got up and went out.
The officers and soldiers moved very fast, and they had already arrived at the gate of Zhuangzi.
Because he was holding the search warrant issued by Wanping City, the housekeeper of the manor had already opened the gate because of the threat, and the sergeant wearing iron armor, silver and black robes, and holding sharp knives and silver spears broke in neatly.
In her previous life, as the Duchess of Ruan Guo, Qu Qingge recognized them at a glance as the Ruan family army, stationed in Yangmingshan, guarding the safety of the capital all the year round, and was the army of the king, led by the Ruan Guo Mansion, who had saved the imperial city and the emperor in danger many times, and won the emperor's heart.
But that is now, since Ruan Xiushu took office later, because of the involvement in the dispute between the prince and the heir, the Ruan family's army is not in the pomp, and it is no longer the former mighty, so that it slowly declined.
At this time, the commander of the Ruan family army was Ruan Xiuyuan, the son of Ruan Guogong.
He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, good facial features, tall figure, burly figure, a terrifying silver armor, quite a military general, if he was not killed by Ruan Xiushu and Qu Qingyu's traitors in his previous life, where would Ruan Guogong's position be Ruan Xiushu's turn?
"I've seen Madame and Miss." Ruan Guogong's Mansion and Yuguo's Mansion are both the mainstays of the Liang Dynasty, although they are not in the same camp as each other, but there is some incense, Ruan Xiuyuan came to Yu's manor, very decent and polite.
Then explain the intention, point out that there are thieves in the capital to steal the Great Prince's Mansion on the South China Sea Night Pearl, the escape route is the southern suburbs, because here are all big families, the owners of the manor are afraid that their Zhuangzi will be patronized by thieves, so they worked to investigate.
The Yu clan was also very anxious when they heard that there were such powerful thieves, and with a wave of their hand, they let them search at will.
Although she said that she was casual, she was controlled by Ruan Xiuyuan, how could Ruan Jiajun dare to be casual when she searched for it?
Mother Liu and Xia Cao didn't know that the person saved by their master was actually a thief, and they gave Qu Qingge many times a look, asking her to hand over the person, but instead of doing a good thing, they led the wolf into the house.
Qu Qingge was as steady as Mount Tai, and Wu Zi poured tea and water for Yu and Ruan Xiuyuan.
This happened in the previous life, but at that time, the Yu family died early, but the person who came to search was Ruan Xiuyuan, and for the sake of the face of the Yuguo Mansion, he still treated her politely.
They searched every corner of the hot spring village, but she and Yu's boudoir did not dare to take a step closer.
While the soldiers were searching below, Ruan Xiuyuan sat in the hall to drink tea with the Yu family, occasionally observing the rumored timid and fearful future wife.
Since he was a child, he knew that he had a marriage contract with the second lady of Qu Wenbo's mansion, as if a nobleman in the palace took his mother and the old lady of Yuguo by the hand and jokingly promised it during the New Year's Festival.
The girl in front of her is beautiful and bright, her eyebrows are like a crescent moon, her eyes are like autumn water, her nose is like Qiong Yao, her lips are like cherries, and her cheeks are pink and cute.
"Ahem...... Does the prince know how the Duchess of the Kingdom is doing lately? Before the Yu clan met, the young man stared at her daughter without blinking, coughed lightly a few times and showed displeasure, deliberately mentioning his stepmother.
"Madame has been doing well lately, and the younger generations have thanked Mrs. Bo for their greetings on behalf of the elders in the family." Although Ruan Xiuyuan is tall and burly, his maternal grandfather is a scholar of the Great Liang Dynasty, so he has a wide range of knowledge, and he also has the demeanor of a scribe when he speaks and acts, not as rough and reckless as ordinary military generals, and looks much stronger than his feminine stepbrother Ruan Xiushu.
It's a pity......
After a nourishing conversation, the soldiers who searched everywhere also returned to the courtyard one after another, and the results of the search were naturally none.
However, the nervous appearance of Mother Liu and Xia Cao before had already fallen into the eyes of Ruan Xiuyuan, who was sharp-eyed.
He took advantage of the moment when the Yu clan ordered Qu Qingge to send him out, and hinted meaninglessly: "The suspects are two people, one big and one small, they should not be thieves, but the eldest prince issued an order through the emperor to arrest him, the emperor's order cannot be violated, and we are loyal to our courtiers." ”
When he entered the courtyard, he had already seen the pale red on the leaves of the spring flowers on the side of the wall, and the spring flowers were yellow, so the red was particularly conspicuous as long as he looked closely.
