Chapter 54: The Snitch is rampant
Qingyan looked at the blade that was getting closer and closer to her, and there was a tingling pain on her forehead, she almost didn't have to think much to know that after this knife, her body would definitely be split in two, and blood flowed all over the ground, thinking that she had just come back, and before the matter really began, she was going to die on the spot, and a strong unwillingness rose in her heart.
Keng-bang-bang--bang
Just when she thought she was going to die, the sound of the collision of swords and the landing of heavy objects came into her ears at the same time, but she didn't feel the slightest pain, she couldn't help but open her eyes, and met her father's frightened gaze, and then turned her eyes to see Qing Ning, Ling Yi, Ling Shan and a group of black-clothed people fighting on the street, but in a moment, there were corpses all over the ground, and blood was all over the place.
"Yan'er, how are you?" The uncle hurried over, his face pale as paper from fright.
"Miss Six-" burst into tears, which showed that she was frightened at the moment just now.
"Father, I'm fine, let me down! Look, both Ehan and his uncle are frightened! She calmed down a lot and said with a faint smile.
Qing Changgui saw that although her face was ugly, but fortunately, she was still in good spirits, so he nodded, put her on the ground, but still stood in front of her, just a scene, he almost flew out of the sky, this daughter, since falling into the water, has changed a lot, went to the clan school, and became a prodigy, unconsciously, she has occupied an extremely important position in his heart, he has thought countless times, if she is a man, talent will not be under him, if she is a man, the future four rooms will definitely be in her hands; Looking at her father's pampering of her, if she is a man, the entire Qingfu will eventually fall into her hands.
But even though she is not a man, he is also in pain in his bones, and he is also proud of her, she is his daughter, and he cannot, and he will not allow anyone to hurt her in the slightest.
"Miss-" Yi Han stepped forward and grabbed her arm firmly, this time saying nothing would let her leave her side by half a step.
She smiled back, and then looked at the many officers and soldiers pouring out of her surroundings, and the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened: The other party really calculated everything, even the government has bought it out, this melee has been going on for so long, and the group of people in black are almost dead before they appeared, I think that if Ling Shan and Qing Ning did not appear in time this time, Ling Yi alone is afraid that it will be difficult to win, after all, it is difficult to defeat four hands with two fists.
And those black-clothed people saw that the officers and soldiers had arrived, and they fled quickly, leaving only the corpses in one place, Ling Yi, Ling Shan, and Qing Ning were the only three of the latter, who was not smooth due to an arm injury, resulting in a knife in the right shoulder, and everything else was fine.
Ling Shan inadvertently glanced at her face, seeing that she was fine, she nodded, unfolded her light work, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, she hadn't forgotten that now was not the best time to show up.
Qingning still wanted to talk to her, but she didn't want her to say goodbye without saying goodbye, looking at the direction she left with a lost look in her eyes; Ling Yi raised his eyebrows, but he didn't know when his sister actually seduced this kid, but if he saw her appearance, would he still have such thoughts?
Jiang Xiren looked at Qing Yan in surprise, he never thought that she would use Ling Shan like this, who was this guarding against? There is still something important, and he actually put her behind him as a trump card.
"I've seen the fourth son of Qing!" Catching quickly came to the front of Qing Changgui, it was very flattering.
"Humph! Need not! I can't afford your gift, go back and ask you Lord Zhao, as an official for one term, for the benefit of one party, and what did he do? ”
He took Qingyan's hand, turned around and walked to the alley where Qinhou's Mansion was located, but he didn't want to reach the gate of the mansion yet, his father Qing Sanyuan had already walked out quickly, looking at the few people who were safe and sound, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Father—" He stepped forward, his eyes flashing, showing his inner turmoil.
"It's okay—it's fine!" He also cried with joy, he didn't notice the scuffle outside the mansion, and he wanted to come out earlier, but suddenly two black-clothed masked men appeared, not only entangled Qing'an, but also lured out Qingping who was hidden in the dark, and then quickly retreated for unknown reasons, which gave him a chance to leave the mansion with Qing'an and Qingping.
The group entered the house one after another, Qingyan was escorted back to Bishui Pavilion by Qing'an, and his father followed his grandfather into Caohui Hall, today's matter, the other party is clearly prepared, mainly aimed at their favorite daughter and granddaughter, how can the two of them just forget it?
"What do you say? You were ambushed on the way back? ”
"Yes! If it weren't for a heroine falling from the sky, I was afraid that my son and two partners would die on the spot, but even so, two scholars died, alas! The lives of ordinary people are gone, and the lives of ordinary people, father, are they so fragile? ”
"It's not that it's fragile, it's that the officials don't do anything in their positions, and if you're so unwilling and unwilling, try to change all this! Even if it's just the tip of the Celestial Empire, it's much better than it is now. ”
"Father——, I-"
"You don't have to answer so quickly, I know your heart, you also know my heart, you think about this matter slowly, but these two assassinations against you and Yan'er are very strange, if you say that you are studying abroad, it is understandable that you have no intention of offending people, what is the matter with Yan'er? It's just a child, who can do this to her? ”
"This ...... Father, there's something I haven't told you all this time! ”
"What?"
"Yan Er has shown extraordinary talent since she went to the family school, she has been familiar with poetry and books at a young age, although she is not as good as her son, but she is also a leader, especially with a unique eye, she can always see the level that others can't see, and she likes to go out of the house to play, maybe she offends anyone in the process."
"What? Why didn't you say something so important earlier? ”
Qing Sanyuan was greatly surprised when he heard this, and at the same time he felt a little regretful, regretting that she was not a man, but even when he didn't know about it, he had already admired her, and now that he learned that she had such an amazing talent, the excitement and excitement finally overcame the regret.
"My son just thinks that the less people know about this matter, the better, and it's not a good thing to be too smart, and besides, she's just a child after all, and she's still a girl."
Hearing this, Qing Sanyuan's excited emotions instantly calmed down a lot, and he suddenly understood that he didn't tell him about it because he was afraid that his expectations for her would be too high, which would disrupt her current peaceful life; Yes! is just a child, or a girl, although it is indeed a good thing, but after all, it is not a man, and her happiness is still the main thing.
"In that case, it's better to let her go out less in the future!"
"This ...... She is a person with quite an idea, but I'm afraid that she can't stop it, so when Qingning recovers from her injury, she will be transferred to her side! ”
"Then you can't transfer the people around you, don't forget that you were also ambushed, let Qingping go! He was used to acting in secret, and he was more competent than Qing Ning. ”
"But ......"
"No, although she is a daughter, since she has the insight and talent that men do not have, the road in the future must be extraordinary; As for you - be careful! ”
"Yes!"
"Go! I will definitely investigate this matter, no matter who it is, since the person who dares to touch Benhou, don't think about retreating. ”
Peony Garden
Qing Changfu listened to the return of his subordinates, frowned, and finally didn't say anything, waved his hand and let him retreat. As usual, he looked through the account books in the study, and his eyes were contemplative.
Clear Water Pavilion
Ling Shan jumped forward, watching her leisurely drinking tea, looking at the book, and rolled her eyes, which daughter can be so calm after experiencing life and death? She's really not a normal person.
"Father—"
"Before I left Fengxiang City, I was robbed and killed, and two scholars died." She sat down and looked at the seven-year-old girl in front of her with her chin on her chin fixedly, no matter how she looked at it, she was no different from a normal girl, but she was acting spicy.
"Is that so? Looks like you're busy again! She sneered, looked away from her book, and looked at the courtyard through the window.
"It's okay, this little thing is nothing to the people who run the rivers and lakes, but are you sure you want to do it?"
"Go ahead!" She looked at the book again, and the years were quiet and comfortable, as if everything that had happened before was an illusion.
That night, all the rich and noble families in Qingzhou Mansion were robbed and lost a lot of property; Zhao Zhizhou frowned when he received the report, there have been too many things recently.
On the night of the second day, the Zhizhou Mansion and the Qinhou Mansion were patronized by thieves, and they lost some painless things, but they left a piece of paper in each of the two mansions, and the paper in the prefect's mansion read:
Officials do not make decisions for the people,
It's better to go home and sell sweet potatoes;
Words and deeds testify to the day,
Retribution is coming in the snow.
On the paper left in the Qinhou Mansion, it was written:
The merchant pursues profit for nothing more than that,
It's too sad to set foot in the court;
Life is just a few decades;
Why don't you return to your heart and stay safe.
In the early morning of the third day, the poor people of the whole city took to the streets, kowtowing at the doors of the rich families to thank them for the gift of silver, and rumors were spreading.
Doesn't it mean that these rich people have lost their money? But it turned out that Shi Yin went?
As soon as he said that the thief was a master who robbed the rich and helped the poor, he didn't want to show his true face, and he thought that these rich people hadn't done anything excessive, so he let them become Bodhisattvas.
If this is the case, then the rich man must thank the thief, otherwise where did he get all this prestige?
There are many opinions, but those rich people who are at the center of the rumors have different thoughts, or have bitter and unspeakable resentment, or hypocritically accept the love of the people, and turn around and raise the price of their goods by 10%; or they have a good heart, and after receiving the worship of the people, they give medicine and medicine; This Qingzhou Mansion has been lively in just three days.
However, the Zhizhou Mansion and the Qinhou Mansion were an exception, looking at the poems left on their respective mansions, Zhao Zhizhou frowned, and the hatred in the depths of his eyes flashed, and then he picked up the piece of paper and lit it on the candle, and threw it to the ground angrily.
Qing Changfu stood in front of Qing Sanyuan in a cold sweat, he didn't expect that the snitch would even know about it, and now that he was pointed out, his father directly asked for all the account books, and he didn't leave him any room to adjust the account books.
Bang –
"Your business is not supported by your father, but I think this is also a means of making a living, and you have done a lot of things for your family over the years, and gradually you don't mention your life every day, but what have you done now?" Qing Sanyuan easily found something wrong in the account book, although most of them were not sure where the silver taels really went, but there was a record, it was actually given to the eunuch who came to the palace last time to announce the decree, who was that? On the surface, he was doing things in the palace, but according to the information he got, he could already determine that it was the dark line of the four princes in the palace, thinking of this, he slapped the table case angrily, and pointed at Qing Changfu's nose to scold.
"Father, I'm also leaving a way back for the Qing family!"
"Bastard! My Qing family is also a scholarly family, with your eldest brother and second brother as officials in the court, and then your fourth brother is talented, and you are in business as a family, why do you need to find any way back? Besides, what are you looking for? If it's the crown prince, it's fine, but these four princes ——,! You may not understand it. From now on, you are not allowed to contact him again, you can continue to do business, but you must no longer participate in the matter of taking the heir, when the pilgrimage is in good health and is a rare king, you only need to do your part. ”
"I-"
"Style—"
"The minions are here!"
"From this moment on, he takes a step, you follow him, everything he does and everything he says must be reported to Ben Hou, do you understand?"
"Father—"
"Yes!"
Qing Changfu was unwilling, but under his angry gaze, he didn't dare to say anything more, and walked out of Caohui Hall dejectedly, his literary style did not leave an inch, and his face was serious, which made his anger rise more and more: Six girls, all this must be your idea, do you think that with your little ability, you can really stop me from doing big things? Hum! Wait, one day I will turn you to ashes like that hundred-year-old locust tree!
