Chapter 24: Guilt

"This thing is worth fifteen cities, are you really willing to give it?" Ying Zichu listened to Qin Qing's words and looked at her in disbelief.

"Although He's Bi is priceless, in the eyes of Qin Qing, it is not as important as the safety of our Qin family." Qin Qing said calmly to Yingzi Chu: "Qin Qing got this thing, it was purely accidental, although he was moved, but he also understood that this thing was a curse or a blessing for Qin Qing, Qin Qing was just an ordinary businessman, and he only wanted the Qin family to be safe." ”

When Qin Qing left Zhao Kingdom, he didn't know that this thing was He's Bi, and after returning to Qin Mansion to listen to Steward Yu's analysis, he began to be afraid in his heart. Although He's Bi is priceless, it is also a hot potato, and it was really a big risk to take it out of Zhao State.

There are no impermeable walls in this world! Although the Qin family is considered a rich man in Tong County, after all, they are just ordinary merchants and do not have much power. At the beginning, when Steward Yu proposed to give it to Lu Buwei, Qin Qing didn't think much about it and immediately agreed. Qin Qing and Steward Yu's views coincide, although this thing is a strange treasure, but the Qin Mansion does not have the strength to protect it, it is better to exchange it for Qin Chaoyang's pardon, as for whether it is given to Lu Buwei or Yingzi Chu, the result is the same, they all have this ability.

"If you give this gift, you will ask for something, you might as well say it and listen to it." Yingzi Chu is not a stupid person, seeing Qin Qing giving this gift, he must have something to ask for.

Qin Qing pondered it in his heart, and then told Qin Chaoyang's incident. After hearing this, Lu Buwei and Ying Zichu both had some doubts in their hearts, the laws of the Qin State stipulate that a murderer dies, and if she wants to be exempted from the death penalty, she must be pardoned by the lord of the country, but why would she ask Ying Zichu for help? Could it be that you know something?!

Although Mrs. Huayang is willing to accept Yingzi Chu as her righteous son and promise the position of the crown prince, but this matter is now only known to An Guojun, Mrs. Huayang, Lü Buwei and Yingzi Chu, how could this Qin Qing know that Yingzi Chu has any hope of succeeding to the throne. An Guojun and Mrs. Huayang naturally wouldn't say it to the outside world, Yingzi Chu has always been low-key, and Lu Buwei has always been cautious. Ying Zichu and Lu Buwei suddenly felt that although this Qin Qing was just a little girl, there must be an unknown force behind it! The two glanced at each other, and immediately responded to Qin Qing's request.

Qin Qing saw that the purpose of this trip had been achieved, and proposed to leave, and the two stayed politely, and Lü Buwei instructed Steward Lü to send a carriage to send her back. Seeing that Qin Qing was gone, Yingzi Chu also planned to go back to deal with the matter of He's Bi, and also proposed to Lü Buwei to return to his home, and Lü Buwei sent him away and returned to the study. ,

Steward Lu was already waiting in the study, and when he saw Lu Buwei coming in, he stepped forward and said to him: "What the adult ordered, the villain has done it, but the villain doesn't understand, although Qin Qing is already a woman, but what to do is just a little girl, why do you need the adult to send someone to keep an eye on it." ”

"But that little girl can get it! And she seems to know the news that Ying Zichu is about to become the crown prince. Lu Buwei muttered: "This matter is a little strange, my friendship with that Qin Zidui is not deep, so it stands to reason that she shouldn't come to me, could it be that the little Qin Mansion still has any background, or she has a master behind her, we must not guard against these!" ”

Before dinner, Ding Yi and Wei Chun came to Qin Qing's room, Qin Qing looked at them as if they had something to say, but it was difficult to say, so he said bluntly: "There is something, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

The two hesitated, and finally Ding Yi said to Qin Qing: "Young lady, in the afternoon, the villain and Wei Chun went out of the inn to buy things, and found that someone seemed to be following us. ”

"Someone stalking? Are you sure? Qin Qing was a little surprised when he heard this.

"I'm not sure, it's just that both of us feel as if someone is following us, so we don't dare to make a noise, so we pretend to be casual and walk around the inn to tell the young lady about it."

If only one person feels that they are being followed, it may be an illusion, but if both of them are quite good at martial arts, and they feel followed at the same time, it may be true. She has no friends or enemies in this Xianyang City, she only met Lu Buwei and Ying Zichu today, could it be that the two of them were suspicious of her because of the matter with the family? !

Qin Qing didn't dare to be careless, so he immediately asked the two of them to tell Steward Yu and Xiu'er to pack up their things at night and return to Tong County early tomorrow morning.

Late at night, Qin Qing was awakened by a knock on the door, and heard Xiu'er on the other bed ask in a daze, "Who!" There was a knock on the door in the middle of the night! ”

I only heard someone outside the door whispering: "I'm really sorry to disturb the rest of you." Dare to ask Young Lady Qin if she has fallen asleep? Someone out there has to see you. ”

Before Qin Qing could answer, Xiu'er said angrily: "What time is it, the young lady has already fallen asleep, what is there for him to talk about tomorrow!" ”

The man answered and left, but after a while, he hurried back: "Young lady, that person said that you have seen this afternoon, the matter is urgent, and I hope you will come out to see you." ”

Hearing what the visitor said, Qin Qing immediately thought of Lu Buwei and Yingzi Chu in his mind, and it was not good to continue pretending to be asleep, so he answered, hurriedly got dressed, and told Xiu'er to sleep first and leave her alone. Walking out of the room, I saw the shopkeeper standing outside the door with an embarrassed face, helpless, looking a little pitiful, and couldn't bear to let him continue to be embarrassed, and said softly: "Lead the way ahead." ”

Qin Qing followed the shopkeeper all the way, but found that he was not going to the door of the inn, but to the backyard, and asked with some doubts: "Why don't you go to the main entrance?" ”

"The villain doesn't know, the person who came is extremely mysterious, it seems to have a lot of origin, he only said that he wanted to meet the young lady alone, and the villain was not allowed to make a noise."

Qin Qing was a little dazed, he didn't know what was going on with Lu Buwei and Yingzi Chu, he had to come to him in person in the middle of the night, and he was so mysterious?

Walking into the backyard, she found that there seemed to be a person standing in the shade of the back door, and the shopkeeper took her to the back door and hurriedly retreated. Qin Qing approached, but found that the person who came was neither Lu Buwei nor Ying Zichu, he had never seen it at all, who was this person? Is it Lü Buwei's people or Ying Zichu's people? Hesitantly asked, "Who are you?" Who sent you to me? ”

The person who came to Qin Qing made a gesture and said: "I have seen Mrs. Qin, the son of Chu sent a villain to pick up the young lady to come to the house, and the carriage is outside the door." ”

It turned out that Yingzi Chu wanted to see him, and he didn't know what he had to talk about with him, so he said to the visitor: "Wait a minute, I'll go and ask Steward Yu to go with me." ”

The man stopped Qin Qing: "The young lady is slow, the prince said that he only saw the young lady alone." ”

Only one of myself?! Qin Qing was a little apprehensive in his heart, in the afternoon, Ding Yi and Wei Chun just found out that someone was following, and Ying Zichu was going to see him alone in the evening, shouldn't he kill people because of He's Bi? !
