Suddenly, Qin Yan's eyes were in a trance.

She had no way to refute Xia Sheng's words, because she knew that what he said was right.

But in many cases, ends and means are two very different things.

In order to establish prestige, to appease the anger of the people, is it necessary to go on a killing spree, and is it necessary to deceive the poor people who have lost nothing because of a big gamble by such sinister means?

They were just carried away for a while, instigated and used by others, so they made a wrong choice at the wrong time, but they did not kill Second Master Qin.

Fortunately, Qin Yan has never been an indecisive person, let alone a compassionate person, and more importantly, she knows that Xia Sheng's words are good for herself.

So the confusion in her eyes lasted only a short time, and then she regained her firmness.

She took a deep breath, then nodded at Xia Sheng, and said in a deep voice, "Yan'er understands." ”

Hearing this, Xia Sheng couldn't help but show a look of relief, he raised his hand and patted Qin Yan's shoulder gently, and said with a smile: "Okay, leave the matter of the notice to your subordinates, presumably it will be a day before there is news at the earliest, and in the next period of time, you must have enough spirit to deal with the things that follow." ”

Qin Yan looked embarrassed and muttered, "But there are many places that require me to come forward to coordinate, such as communication with the adjudication department, and the determination of the bounty......

Xia Sheng shook his head: "Just leave these things to your fourth uncle, now, the only thing you need to do is to go back and sleep well, this is the master's order!"

Speaking of which, Qin Yan could only nod helplessly and responded, "Yes." Mr. ”

Xia Sheng smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll go back as a teacher, tomorrow is the recruitment time of the Spring and Autumn Academy, I may not have time to come over, if you have something." Let Bi Qingwen bring a letter to the Marquis of Weining. ”

"Hmm. ”

Qin Yan responded while sending Xia Sheng to the door.

Xia Sheng didn't leave, but said, "I'll send you back first, lest as soon as I leave, you will plunge into those files again." ”

Regarding Xia Sheng's dead heart, Qin Yan could only express her helplessness with a wry smile, and honestly followed behind Xia Sheng, walking towards Qin's mansion from Shantang.

The two places are not far apart, about half a pillar of incense. Xia Sheng personally handed Qin Yan into the hands of the Qin Mansion, and then said goodbye to Qin Yan leisurely.

However, to Qin Yan's surprise, Xia Sheng did not go home after leaving the Qin Mansion, but walked back to Shantang and called Bi Qingwen.

As soon as they met, Bi Qingwen couldn't stop thanking him: "Sure enough, Xia Gongzi has a way!"

Xia Sheng waved his hand and said solemnly to Bi Qingwen: "There is something I didn't tell Qin Yan before. Because with her current position, it is inconvenient to do this. That's why I've come back to explain this matter to you. ”

Hearing this, Bi Qingwen couldn't help but be stunned, and wondered: "What's the matter?"

Xia Sheng narrowed his eyes lightly and said in a deep voice: "From today onwards, send someone to monitor Qin Ran around the clock. Once the other party makes any strange moves, come and tell me immediately and report to Fourth Master Qin!"

When the words fell, Bi Qingwen's eyes suddenly widened, and he stammered: "Qin ...... Qin ...... Qin Ran?"

......

Qin Ran.

This name was once famous in Luoyang. This name, which was once shining in Qinjiashantang, became dim and disappeared from people's vision because of a clan competition.

As soon as the case of Qin Erye's murder broke out, the entire capital was immediately shaken, but few people thought of Qin Ran.

Even if Second Master Qin is his father.

Even if he was once the young master of the Qin family.

But now he is just a wasted person.

The winner is the king and the loser Kou, which is vividly reflected in this seventeen-year-old boy.

No one cares if his injuries have recovered, no one cares where he is now, no one even cares if he is still alive.

No, in fact, there was originally someone who cared about Qin Ran.

But now the man is dead.

Died in the barren forest less than 100 miles away from Luoyang City, and died in the hands of a group of gamblers who lost red-eyed, and died blindly.

Qin Ran's biological mother died very early, and later the women who were married home by their father, after hearing that their father died, couldn't wait to divide the family property, flee, scatter, and before leaving, no one even stepped into Qin Ran's bedroom to see him.

However, in a few days, Qin Ran once again deeply experienced the warmth and coldness of the world and the cold state of the world, but he didn't say anything, did nothing, and never even walked out of the door, angrily scolding them for their injustice.

If he was still a martial arts realm powerhouse, he would definitely kill them.

But he's nothing now.

suffered two huge blows in his life in succession, as if Qin Ran suddenly changed into a person, the sharpness and sharpness of the past disappeared, and the hypocritical warmth no longer existed, and now there was real calmness written on his face, and his eyes were full of tranquility, like an ocean after a storm.

It's hard to guess what he's thinking.

During this time, Qin Ran only knew that his father was dead, but he didn't see his father's body, and he didn't know who the murderer was, no one came to report the investigation process to him, and no one came to let him wear filial piety, as if the world had forgotten that there was such a person as him.

Until today, Qin Ran suddenly keenly discovered that someone had come to his mansion and said that he had come to visit his injury, but in fact, he was monitoring his every move.

The person who came was a benevolent person.

Qin Ran, as the young master of the Qin family, was very familiar with them.

So his heart was three points colder.

And that night, Qin Ran quietly touched his father's room, looked at the empty room, and didn't even have time to grieve and miss, so his figure flashed and disappeared in front of a secret door in the house.

The property in the mansion was basically divided up by several of his aunts, but there were some things that Second Master Qin only told Qin Ran alone.

Like this secret door, and then like the vault behind the door.

Half an hour later, when Qin Ran reappeared, he crawled out of an abandoned well at the foot of the city gate, with a small burden behind his back and an inconspicuous old clothes on his body.

After a while, the sky finally dawned, the city gate was reopened, and many restaurant guys, little tea girls, and horse-drawn carriages carrying goods had been lined up at the city gate one after another.

The morning sun is reflected on the bronze ring tiger head of the city gate, with a long-lost warmth.

This day was a very important day for many cultivators in the territory of the Dajin Dynasty, because in another hour, the recruitment of the three major academies would officially begin.

At the same time, this day will also be a new beginning for Qin Ran.

He slowly left from the well, carrying the small burden behind him, hanging his head very low, and walked out of the gate of Luoyang City in the crowd.

Until the last moment, there was no turning back. (To be continued.) )
