The clan elder glanced at each other when he heard this, and the older one said slowly: "We old guys shouldn't have said this. We haven't intervened in the affairs of the clan for many years. Brother Qing has been smart since he was a child, and even the patriarch has always praised Brother Qing. During these days, the Qiu family has never made a mistake in the hands of Brother Qing. In my opinion, this matter will be left to Brother Qing'er to decide. ”

Several clan elders next to him echoed: "That's the truth, we can rest assured that Brother Qing is doing things." ”

Qiu Yuanqing lowered his head respectfully, but the smile on his lips gradually deepened, and he said bluntly: "Don't dare, it's the kid who is holding it up." ”

Turning around, he said to Qiu Yuanming and his wife: "Since the clan elder handed over this matter to me, then I will tell me what I mean." I think even if I don't say anything about the prestige of that loyal prince, everyone knows it. He was a truly brave and warlike man, with a great reputation and brilliant achievements, and even the Son of Heaven had to give three points. I have also heard that this Prince Zhongshun is a very protective person, and he loves his princess very much, and everyone knows that Prince Zhongshun once resisted the decree for the princess.

"Since Prince Zhongshun is so powerful, and the princess is so loved by him, let's not be an enemy of them. This time, it was Feizhen who was the first to flirt, and it was not to blame the guards arranged by Prince Zhongshun, more things are better than less things, there is no need to offend the entire faction of Prince Zhongshun because of one person. ”

When Qiu Yuanming and his wife heard this, their faces immediately changed: "What do you mean, can we Feizhen suffer in vain!" ”

"Please don't forget the rules of the Qiu family. But when children and grandchildren act, everything must be done in the interests of the family. Now it is obviously unwise to offend Prince Zhongshun's faction for the sake of Feizhen alone, that is, to endure it, not to mention that this matter was originally Feizhen's mistake first, even if it was noisy, the matter could not be blamed on Prince Zhongshun. At that time, everyone will have to talk behind their backs, where will the Qiu family's face go? Our Qiu family has been inherited in Jianchuan for more than 100 years, don't you want to have a face? I can understand the feelings of the two parents, but please consider the interests of the family first. ”

Qiu Yuanming was trembling with anger, and he knew that Qiu Yuanqing was uneasy and kind. This is forcing him to let go!

But Qiu Feizhen is his son, his son was killed like that, others can not care, can he, a father, not care? What family interests are the most important, and do these people do less to dig into the corners of the family on weekdays? Others kill people and set fires, and any problems can be solved, but if they fall into their house, they can't do it?

Qiu Yuanming sneered a few times, and didn't even bother to quarrel with Qiu Yuanqing.

Although this person holds the power of the Qiu family, he seems to have the intention of inheriting the position of the head of the Qiu family. But the patriarch is still in retreat after all, he is also a second son, and he is not the patriarch, why should he stand up and point fingers?

Contempt in front of these clan elders.

If people are not selfish, dogs can change their! Aren't these old things all rudder when they see the wind, holding Qiu Yuanqing to speak? This is seeing that Qiu Yuanqing may be the next patriarch, so he will be so flattering!

Qiu Yuanqing saw that Qiu Yuanming no longer argued, so he succumbed to the clan elder, smiled confidently, respectfully greeted the clan elder, and asked Qiu Feizhen about the situation, and then the meeting was dispersed.

However, when Qiu Yuanming returned home and saw his son who was bedridden and dying, the irrepressible anger came out at once.

Listening to the whimpering sound of his old wife, Qiu Yuanming was upset, holding the white porcelain teacup tightly in his hand, and his bones and joints gradually turned white due to exertion.

Qiu Yuanming gritted his teeth and snorted heavily from his nose.

What is the loyal princess, others dare not confess, he will be afraid? If he doesn't make a move against his own son, will he still wait for others!

**

Qin Yining stayed with everyone at the new guest station near them, but after washing up at night, Qin Yining didn't dare to relax easily.

Jiyun and Bingtang were both lying on the same couch with her, and none of them fell asleep.

"Brother Zhao and Brother Han don't know what to do now. I don't know if the nurse cares about it, at such a young age, walking with bumps, I'm afraid it's not adaptable, right? Qin Yining's voice was low and soft, full of deep worry.

In the dead of night, the first thing she thinks of is always her two children.

Jiyun smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, princess, you still can't trust the lady and the old lady to do things?" Besides, the nurses are the most experienced and the most capable people around them, so you don't have to worry. ”

Qin Yining nodded, he also knew in his heart that it was this idea, but worry was the norm, after thinking about the child, he wanted to be a good one, and he didn't know if it was going well now, the Pingnan Army temporarily suppressed it, but Wei Chiyan may not be willing to stop.

Now that they have entered Jianchuan, they have to rely on signs to enter and exit, and they have become trapped in transmitting news from the outside world, so it can be said that their line of work has been forced to cut off contact with the outside world.

Therefore, she did not know about the latest events in the court. She wants to pass on the situation here to Xiao Xiao, but it is also unlawful, such a situation is really panicking, although it will take some time to pass the news between the Xiao Xiao on weekdays, but it is much stronger than the current situation.

Qin Yining's mind was full of recent events, and he couldn't sleep at all under tossing and turning. I don't know how long she boiled up, Jiyun and Bingtang around her stopped talking, her breathing gradually stabilized, she was also infected by the atmosphere, and her eyelids gradually became heavy.

At this moment, Qin Yining suddenly heard the footsteps of someone walking outside the window.

It's just that the tiredness of the past few days hits, and after she finally closes her eyes and falls asleep, it is not so easy to wake up.

Qin Yining felt that he was sleeping very warmly, as if he was by his side, pillowing his arm in his arms, solid and comfortable. She seemed to hear the steady heartbeat of the owl, and she could smell the faint smell of the charcoal fire burning outside in winter.

"Princess, princess!"

Suddenly, someone pushed her, and Qin Yining was suddenly awakened, and what was reflected in front of her was an orange-red fire.

Mu Jinghu stood nervously on the side of the bed, tore the wet hand towel into four parts, "Cover your mouth and nose, go out of the water!" Quick, come out with me! ”

Jiyun and Bingtang had just been woken up, and they were panicked for a moment in the face of this sudden scene, and they covered their mouths and noses when they took the handkerchief.

Mu Jinghu didn't care about any male and female defense, so he pulled Qin Yining and rushed out.

Since he promised the fox, Qin Yining's safety is his responsibility, Mu Jinghu will never allow Qin Yining to be in any danger under his nose, he would rather lose his life than let Qin Yining have an accident.

The fire was raging outside, the inn was crowded, and people everywhere shouted: "It's water!" Come on, save it! ”

Shocked and the others were in a hurry to rush into the house at this time, and saw that Mu Jinghu brought Qin Yining out, the two of them were only stained with some dust on their bodies, and they were not injured, and when they saw Jiyun also rushing out with rock candy, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

When the people in the inn were busy fighting the fire, the stunned sting had already looked around, and whispered in Qin Yining's ear: "Princess, only our cross-courtyard is on fire, and there is nothing in the other courtyards, so it can be seen that someone is targeting." ”

"It must be the old man of the sixth room of the Qiu family!" Bingtang gritted his teeth, "I look at the place and there is really no king's law, we all chose a place near the prefect's yamen to live, and people actually dare to set fires!" They had made up their minds that the prefect couldn't help them! ”

"There's nothing you can do about it. The Qiu family must have been inherited for so many years, and the history is longer than that of Northern Hebei, and they are already the local emperors. At a glance, Governor Wu knew that he was just trying to live in peace, where did he dare to go head-on with the Qiu family? ”

Qin Yining was a little emotional, don't look at Li Qitian's self-belief that the big and small affairs in the government and the opposition have been centralized in his hands, just look at the state capitals outside, like Jianchuan, who only knows the situation of the Qiu family and does not know the Heavenly family, he knows that the foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty is still very shallow, and Li Qitian, the emperor, may not be able to take care of it everywhere.

As he spoke, the fire across the courtyard was gradually extinguished.

Fortunately, it was a separate courtyard, with few buildings in the courtyard, and it was a brick and stone building, and it was far away from other buildings, so the fire did not spread to other places, and although the fire lost money, it did not cause casualties.

Qin Yining relaxed a little at this time. She knew that the fire was coming at her, and if she was tired of others, how could she get by.

The scene was a mess, with stagnant water everywhere on the ground, black smoke from the houses that had been extinguished, and a suffocating smell of burning in the air.

Mu Jinghu looked at this devastated scene, and the anger in his heart was about to burst out uncontrollably.

The Qiu family is really too deceitful!

teasing Qin Yining in front of him, he just taught the disciples a lesson, which actually attracted the Qiu family's revenge!

Mu Jinghu said with a gloomy face: "Let's choose another place to live temporarily, I don't think the inn is safe, it doesn't matter whether it is close or far from the prefect's yamen." ”

"There is no need to be like this, we are not familiar with the roads in this city, and if we go to a sparsely populated place, things will be even more difficult." Qin Yining said, "There's no need for us to leave, just stay here, and I'll see if they can set fire again." With such a big fire, Governor Wu hasn't appeared yet, so I think it's a solid sleep. When I see Governor Wu tomorrow, I will ask carefully how he wants to solve the matter here. ”

After all, she still has an identity, the princess was deliberately murdered, and it all depends on how she operates.

The group talked to the storekeeper, and because there was no cross-courtyard, they moved to the guest room on the second floor.

And what Qin Yining didn't know, after she lay down again, the window next door was pushed open, and Mu Jinghu was like a crane, fluttering towards the location of the Qiu family's old mansion.
