Chapter 266: A rake
Chapter 266 Fight a rake
Qi You crossed the crowd, stepped forward, looked Xun Qingran up and down, and did not speak, but hugged Xun Qingran in his arms.
Strong embrace, familiar breath, she is safe, the children are safe, Xun Qingran closed her eyes, and the whole person relaxed.
But after a while, Xun Qingran opened her eyes and struggled, Qi Yu hugged her so tightly that she was almost suffocated.
"Fourth Master." Xun Qingran screamed.
Qi You heard Xun Qingran call her, and her hand was slightly loosened, but she didn't let go, as if she was afraid that as soon as she let go, the person in her arms would disappear. Although when he came in, the situation was already under control. But he saw the situation in this courtyard, and he could imagine how dangerous Fang Cai was, and how helpless his wife and daughter were. If he was delayed on the road, even a little bit, he didn't dare to think about the consequences.
"I'm fine, and so are the kids." Xun Qingran said softly, pulled out a hand, and gently patted Qi You's back. "Fourth master, you're fine, it's good."
Qi You has always loved to be neat, but at this time, he was dusty, there was a lot of mud and sand on the big cloud, and the corner of his robe was torn. Looking at Qi You's eyes again, there were clearly some bloodshots.
"Where have you been, haven't you seen the person who delivered the letter? Why did you come back at this time, we almost, almost ......" Malt's voice rang out, first reprimanding, then turning to sobbing.
Xun Qingran raised his eyes and looked, it turned out that Tang Younian walked in from outside with someone.
"My lord, my subordinates have arrested all the bandits who made trouble." Tang Younian reported to Qi Youyu.
Only then did Qi You let go of Xun Qingran, turned his head to Tang Younian and said, "But look carefully, you can't let go of any of them." ”
"Rest assured, no fish will slip through the net." Tang Younian said.
"Good. You will take people and interrogate those bandits one by one. Qi You instructed, "This matter is strange, we must find out."
Tang Younian hurriedly agreed, knelt on one knee again, and pleaded guilty to Xun Qingran.
"The subordinates were negligent in their duties and did not come to the rescue in time, which frightened the wife. Please punish Madame. ”
The Governor's Mansion had sent people out to ask for help, but Tang Younian and Feng Dengke had not come for a long time to rescue the soldiers, and there must be a reason for this, so naturally they had to be tried one by one, but now was not the time to ask Tang Younian for the crime.
Qi You asked Tang Younian to get up, first go to interrogate the bandits, and then arrange for someone to inspect the entire Governor's Mansion to prevent bandits from hiding in the shadows.
The cries of Xuan'er and Fusheng came from the house again, and the two little ones were already much quieter, but they probably heard Qi Yu's voice and cried again.
Xun Qingran handed over the matter of tidying up the courtyard to Mama Xu, and Qi You turned around and walked to the upper room.
"Fourth master, fourth master," a hoarse voice sounded from under the steps.
Qi You and Xun Qingran turned around together, and it turned out to be Mama Song. She was still tied up at this time, and it was the mother-in-law who broke free from the guards and stumbled down the steps.
"Fourth master, ask the fourth master to call the shots." Mama Song's face was broken, she raised her head, her face was bloody, and she looked at Qi You with pleading eyes, her appearance was extremely pitiful.
Qi Yu stopped.
Mama Song quickly glanced at Xun Qingran, for fear that Xun Qingran would stop her and not let her speak.
Xun Qingran didn't make any movement at all, just looked at her calmly.
Mama Song felt the corners of her eyes jump. Xun Qingran is not afraid of her complaint, whether she has any tricks or bluffs. In any case, if something like this happens, it can't be good. Only then did Xun Qingran busy taking care of the injured, cleaning up the mess, and putting her and Xin Nuhao aside. If you wait for Xun Qingran to free her hand, I am afraid that she and Xin Nuhao will die.
Mama Song also knew that this was not a good opportunity to speak. Qi You's eyes obviously only saw Xun Qingran, and he was worried about the children in the house. However, she was afraid that if she didn't speak now, she would not have the opportunity to speak again. She wanted Qi You to see her and Xin Nu Hao's current appearance, and not give Xun Qingran a chance to destroy the evidence.
"Ask the fourth master to be the master of the old slave." A few tears came out of Mama Song's eyes.
Qi You glanced at Xun Qingran, Xun Qingran didn't say anything, but his eyes became cold.
“…… The rebels rushed to the house, but the grandmother didn't respond, but tied up the slave and pointed a knife at the slave. The slave has been serving in the house for most of his life, and when he comes, it turns out to be such an ending, and the slave and the slave admit it. But grandma, she also had people kidnap Miss Xin, bring her to those bandits, and pointed a knife at Miss Xin, wanting to kill Miss Xin, what kind of truth is this, how do people think of the fourth master. Miss Xin was lonely and helpless, and went to the fourth master, and the fourth master promised to take care of her, and now, Miss Xin has been abused like this, fourth master, please call the shots. Mama Song cried.
"Little Brother Qi ......"
Qi You followed the sound and looked over, and saw that Xin Nu's hair was unkempt, and she was on the ground, and the fat powder on her face had already been washed away by tears. Sure enough, there were two mothers-in-law standing beside Xin Nuhao, each holding a polished kitchen knife in their hands.
It's really full of human and material evidence.
Qi Yu frowned.
"Fourth master, you understand now, grandma, she is merciful on her face, she just does it for the fourth master, but in her heart she hates the fourth master for trusting the slave and treating Miss Xin well, and regards Miss Xin and the slave as a thorn in her side, she wants to take advantage of the chaos to kill Miss Xin and the slave." Mama Song continued to cry.
"It's clear that the two of you are colluding with those thieves." Malt couldn't stand it, and pointed to Mama Song and Mrs. Xin, "Miss Xin, tell me, what did you do when you played that weird tune, threw off the girl and sneaked to the front alley." How grandma treats you, this house can be seen in the eyes, you will take revenge, and your conscience will let the dog eat. You said, what is the relationship between you and the thief in the lead, why did he panic when he saw you. ”
"You girl is talking nonsense." Mama Song's face changed. The reason why she dared to come out and cry out was that the leading man in black was quite calm when he saw Xin Nuhao being pushed out, and there was no obvious handle for people to catch. Later, I saw her eyes and understood that the mother-in-law with the knife did not have the courage to do it, so she had no scruples. Even later, Qi You's reinforcements arrived, and she also believed that that person's ability would never be captured with those people, and he must have escaped. But at this time, she was told by Malt, and Mama Song didn't feel annoyed and angry, so she had to fight with Malt.
The Xin woman on the side also changed her face, played a strange tune, and went to the alley in front, how did these Xun Qingran know, could it be that Yinling confessed? However, she just used the silver bell to get rid of the golden bell, and she didn't let the silver bell know what she did.
Xin Nuhao was shocked in her heart, so she only hid her face, and her crying became more and more miserable.
"Take these two down, so that they can be guarded." Xun Qingran calmly gave the order.
A mother-in-law came over and dragged the two of them down.
"Fourth Master,"
"Little Brother Qi,"
Mama Song and Mrs. Xin looked at Qi You in unison, just waiting for Qi You to let them go.
Qi Yu did not stop him, and turned around to look at Xun Qingran. Xun Qingran didn't explain, left Qi You, broke the curtain and entered the house.
Qi Yu thought for a moment, and followed into the house.
In the house, Xun Qingran was sitting on the kang, holding Xuan'er in her arms, coaxing softly. Fusheng looked very manly at this time, although his eyes were still watery, he didn't cry, he just leaned on Xun Qingran's arms, and his little hands tightly grasped Xun Qingran's clothes.
"Xuan'er, Fusheng." Qi You walked closer and leaned over to look at the two little ones.
Fusheng raised his little fat hand, wiped his tears, and looked at Qi You's eyes with grievances. Xuan'er also turned her head from Xun Qingran's arms when she heard the voice, looking at Qi You, who seemed a little strange.
Qi You felt a pain in his heart, and reached out to hug Xuan'er, but Xuan'er squeezed into Xun Qingran's arms.
Let you go for a few days, no news, and then look at what your grandmother and sister Xin are doing, my daughter doesn't recognize you now, hum. Xun Qingran complained in her heart.
Just looking at Qi You's injured appearance, Xun Qingran was still soft-hearted after all.
"Xuan'er is still young, the fourth master has been gone for a few days, and she has never seen the fourth master like this." Xun Qingzhi refers to Qi Yu's military uniform, as well as a vigorous beard.
Qi You was relieved and wanted to blame her daughter for her thin affection, but seeing that the tears on her daughter's face had not dried, and her voice was not as clear as before, her heart softened, and she looked at Xun Qingran, who was full of gentleness, and she didn't dare to say anything.
Neither of them mentioned what had just happened, one gently coaxed the child, and the other sat quietly by and watched. For the rest of his life, a thousand words, but they all turned into silence.
The two children were tired of crying for a long time, but now they instinctively feel safe, and after a while, they all fell asleep.
Xun Qingran asked the nurse to hold the two children down.
There were only two people left in the room, Xun Qingran and Qi Yu.
"Fourth master, Mama Song is right, Fang Cai, I am taking her and Miss Xin as hostages." Xun Qingran spoke first, "As a hostage to deal with bandits." ”
"You must have done it for a good reason." Qi You looked at Xun Qingran, he was waiting for Xun Qingran to tell him why.
"Luckily, it worked." Xun Qing said, and then smiled self-deprecatingly, "But later, when people saw the women and children in my yard, they concluded that they couldn't do it, so it didn't work." ”
"But, I managed to hold on for a while." Xun Qingran said again, for a while, it can also decide life and death. "The fourth master can see me who is alive, and Xuan'er."
"Zhong Dayong......" Qi Yu said, "The bandit leader is Zhong Dayong." ”
"The fourth master caught someone?" Xun Qingran asked, it turned out that the man in black was Zhong Dayong. She actually doesn't have much impression of Zhong Dayong, she seems to be a person who rarely talks, and she looks quite honest. It was this bell that was used to become a murderous devil last night.
Qi Yu nodded.
"Qingran, you seem to have a lot of things to hide from me." Qi You looked at Xun Qing and said, "Mama Song, good woman Xin, you ......"
"The fourth master also has a lot of things to hide from me, doesn't he?" Xun Qingran asked rhetorically.
Qi Yu was speechless for a while.
"The fourth master wants to say that there is a hardship in doing this, hiding it from me, for my good?" Xun Qingran said, "So, why should I hide something from the fourth master?" ”
After Xun Qingran finished speaking, he stood up, picked up the curtain and walked out.
Qi You was stunned for a long time, and was about to get up and chase after him, when the door curtain was lifted, and Mama Xu came in from outside.
"Fourth master, grandma told the slaves to come over." Mama Xu bowed down and said carefully. "Tell the fourth master a story."
