Chapter 029 Things are not people

?? After nearly three years, Wang Qifang returned to the capital again.

However, she did not go directly to the capital, but first went to her hot spring villa in Lingxian County.

It's just that somehow, when she walked into the Zhuangzi she designed, she had a feeling that she didn't know, not like she hadn't been here for two years, but like she had been separated by decades, the fields were still those fields, and the houses had not changed, but she just felt strange.

"Little Anping has seen Madame!"

Just thinking about it, a somewhat sharp male duck voice suddenly sounded in his ears, which really frightened Wang Qifang, who was a little distracted.

"Who are you?"

Wang Qifang secretly adjusted her breathing and asked in a flat tone.

"Mrs. Hui, little Ping'an, is the steward of this Zhuangzi!"

Ping An looks like he is in his thirties, not tall, white and fat, different from the civilians with vegetables that Wang Qifang has seen along the way, and is obviously an overnourished guy. Especially with a clean chin, there is no beard at all, and at first glance, it looks like a person who has time to tidy up his appearance every day.

Wait, no, when did she get someone like that to be in charge?

Wang Qifang finally realized that something was wrong, yes, everything was normal in the hot spring village, but she didn't know any of the people she saw.

Holding back the surprise in her heart, Wang Qifang pretended to ask casually, "Oh, are you the person recruited by Steward Zhao?" What about Steward Zhao? ”

Two years ago, when she left the capital, she deliberately handed over the hot spring villa to Zhao Dalang to manage, and then, the two kings rebelled, she was worried about what happened in the capital, and hurriedly sent someone to send a letter to the people left in the capital, telling them to pay attention to safety, optimistic about the portal, if the situation is unstable, you can arrange the industry in your hands.

However, as far as Wang Qifang knew, although the rebellion of the two kings spread widely, it did not affect the capital. The rebels of the king of Qi also approached the capital, but they were soon repelled by the Beiya Janissaries stationed in Gyeonggi, and the king of Qi did not even see the gate of the capital, so he was beaten and fled.

The capital is still very safe, and there have been no big changes in the city, so Zhao Dalang has no reason to throw away Zhuangzi and run away.

"If Mrs. Hui speaks, the little one doesn't know anything about Zhao Steward."

Ping An bent over, looking respectful, but the look in his eyes told Wang Qifang that he didn't take himself seriously.

"What? Don't recognize? So who are you? How did you come to my Zhuangzi? Also, what about the rest of the Zhuangzi? ”

The uneasiness in Wang Qifang's heart became stronger and stronger, her eyes were cold, she looked straight at Ping'an, and asked sharply.

The breeze and rain that followed Wang Qifang, seeing this, also quietly surrounded him, in case someone hurt the master.

"Mrs. Hui, didn't the little one introduce himself just now, the little one is called Ping'an, and he is the steward of the Hot Spring Villa." Ping An didn't know whether he was deliberately angry with Wang Qifang, or if his brain was really stupid, so he repeated his words again.

"Breeze!" Wang Qifang was really angry, and she didn't want to be verbose with the other party, so she directly ordered Qingfeng to do it.

"Say, who are you?"

Qingfeng pulled out his sword with a sigh, put it on Ping'an's neck, and asked.

"Hmph, what a bold man, he dares to do it at the feet of the Son of Heaven," Ping'an didn't seem to be afraid, he laughed twice and slapped his slap twice, "Come on, take it!" ”

Before the words fell, I saw more than a dozen guards with steel knives rushing out of the corner of Zhuangzi, looking at their solemn expressions and the clothes on their bodies, Wang Qifang speculated that they were the Praetorian Guards in Beijing.

With a bang, the guards pulled out their swords and surrounded Wang Qifang's master and servants.

"Who the hell are you?"

Wang Qifang suddenly thought of something, but the thought was almost fleeting, and she didn't catch it at all. I had to continue to ask for peace.

"You are dead people, don't you see that the chief manager is being blackmailed, and you still don't do it?"

When Ping An saw the guards coming, he felt that he had something to rely on, and he didn't even do superficial work, and shouted in a sharp voice.

"Who are you waiting for, who dares to make trouble here, and still don't let go of Manager Ping?" The leading guard was in front of him, approaching Wang Qifang, and said coldly.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and do it for me, take them all down for me! ”

Ping'an's arrogance was very arrogant, and he shouted one after another.

"Stop! What are you going to do? ”

As soon as the guards were about to make a move, they heard a coquettish sound not far away, and then more than a dozen heroic women's soldiers rushed over, drew the swords at their waists, and confronted the guards.

"Ping'an, you are so bold, don't you know Mrs. Zhongyi and Mrs. Wang." The leading women's army glanced at Ping An coldly, then clasped her fists with both hands, and respectfully saluted Wang Qifang, and said, "Subordinate Liu Yingniang, I have seen Madame!" ”

Whew, finally saw someone she knew, Wang Qifang breathed a long sigh of relief, she raised her hand to help Liu Yingniang up, and asked suspiciously: "Captain Liu, what's going on?" What happened to the lodge? What about Steward Zhao? ”

"Madam, things are a little complicated, why don't we find a place to sit down and talk in detail?"

Liu Yingniang listened to Wang Qifang's words, a touch of unnaturalness flashed on her face, and she said with a forced smile.

"Okay, let's go inside and talk about it!"

Wang Qifang knew that there must be something inside, so she nodded in agreement, and walked towards her small courtyard.

"Slow!" Ping'an saw that Liu Yingniang came out, and returned to the appearance just now, he picked up the sword across his neck with his fingertips, and then came to Wang Qifang with a smile, owed slightly, and said, "Mrs. Wang, please stay!" ”

"What do you mean? Now that you know who I am, get out of the way. Why, when I go back to my own house, do I still need your permission? ”

Wang Qifang didn't have a good impression of Ping An in front of her, and said coldly.

"Gaga, don't be angry, madam, that's right, this hot spring village used to be your property, but now it has changed owners, and the small courtyard inside is the private residence of the nobles, you can't trespass." Ping An laughed two more times, as if disdainful.

"Oh? How do you say that? My Zhuangzi has changed masters, how come I don't know? Wang Qifang felt that she was listening to the Arabian Nights, and her face was full of disbelief.

"Yo, Mrs. Wang, look at what you said, the whole world is not the king's land, isn't your hot spring villa on the realm of the Great Zhou." Ping'an glanced at Wang Qifang, and said coldly, "The little one has said everything, and I hope that Mrs. Wang will abide by her duties as a subject and not do anything disrespectful." ”

After speaking, he didn't care about Wang Qifang, turned around with a hum, and walked towards the courtyard inside with the escorts, leaving seven or eight guards to guard at the door, and Ping An swaggered into Wang Qifang's courtyard.

Ping An is telling Wang Qifang with practical actions that if you want to come in, there is no way!

Seeing Ping'an's arrogant appearance, a wave of anger suddenly rose in Wang Qifang's chest, burning her almost lost her mind, gritted her teeth, turned her head and asked Liu Yingniang, "Captain Liu, what's going on?" ”

"Madam," Liu Yingniang didn't dare to look directly at Wang Qifang's gaze, and lowered her head and muttered, "It's not early, or you go to the guest room outside to rest for the night, if you have anything to say, when you have rested, your subordinates will tell you everything." ”

"......" Wang Qifang took a deep breath, held back the anger in her heart, and said, "Okay, I hope Captain Liu doesn't hide anything!" ”

Grandma's, what is this called, when I returned to my home, I was stopped at the door, and I couldn't even enter the house, so I could only go to the guest room to rest aggrieved.

Entering the guest room, Wang Qifang sat on the chair in the middle and invited Liu Yingniang to sit at the bottom, "Captain Liu, let's say, what happened to 'my' Zhuangzi?" ”

"Madam, my subordinates will tell you Ping'an's identity first," Liu Yingniang sat on the chair with a leaning side, looked at Wang Qifang with a calm face, and said softly: "Ping'an is not an ordinary person, but a eunuch in the palace. He used to be the little butler in front of Concubine Zheng Guifei, and he was quite favored by Concubine Guifei. ”

Wang Qifang was stunned, she just felt that Ping An had inexplicable hostility towards her, but she never thought that he would be a eunuch. Yes, no wonder he doesn't have a beard, it's not that he's too diligent, but he really can't grow a beard.

"What does Captain Liu mean is that my Zhuangzi was requisitioned by the imperial court?"

Knowing Ping'an's identity, Wang Qifang thought about it a little more and thought of a possibility.

"Yes." Liu Yingniang nodded, "Two years ago, the rebellion between the two kings had just begun, and now I was worried that I was seriously ill, and the imperial doctor said that I would continue to use the best medicinal materials to make medicine, and the ninth princess thought of the elixir of the Baicao Garden in the Hot Spring Villa, and ordered someone to come to Ling County, and instructed Steward Zhao to dig out all the medicinal materials that were urgently needed today and bring them back to the capital as soon as possible......

Later, the war continued, and the transportation between the north and the south was not smooth, and the materials in Beijing began to be in short supply, and the prices of grain, fruits and vegetables, and all kinds of meat soared. At this time, Aunt Su of the Zhao family said to Princess Jingwei, saying that there is a lot of storage on the hot spring village, so it is better to-"

"So, you took my Zhuangzi?"

When Wang Qifang heard this, she already roughly knew what was going on, and she said in a flat tone.

"No, of course not," Liu Yingniang couldn't hear the joy and anger from Wang Qifang's words, but she felt even more ashamed in her heart, she shook her head again and again, and continued: "Steward Zhao is a reasonable person, after knowing the situation in the capital, he took the initiative to donate the grain stored in the Zhuangzi and the livestock raised to the ninth princess. With the protection of the Nine Princesses, no one dared to fight the idea of Hot Spring Zhuangzi at all. ”

Wang Qifang raised her eyebrows and said 'En' in confusion, as if to say, what is going on now.

"Last month, the third princess returned to the court, not only bringing back the two kings and their families, but also bringing back a lot of rebels, including Mrs. Wang, your father and younger brother. Moreover, your father also said that you already knew about the rebellion of King Qi, and you once went to Qingyuan to bring your family to ......"

"Also, many chivalrous men of the Chivalrous League took advantage of the chaos to occupy many state capitals north of the Yellow River...... Everyone said that Li Jingtian was also going to rebel! ”
