The shadow let out a hehehe, and it was a man's voice: "Qi Niangzi, don't you remember me?" We just met at the entrance of the alley the day before yesterday......"

There is an oil lamp lit in the hall, and the courtyard is very small, so you can roughly identify the age of the other party by the reflection of the oil lamp.

He was a man in his forties, not tall, with thick bones and limbs.

And you can vaguely smell the smell of alcohol on each other's body.

Qi Qing forcibly endured fear and retreated in the direction of the hall: "I don't recognize you!" Hurry up or I'll ......"

"What else are you going to do?" The man walked over step by step, his rosacea face full of oily smiles: "...... I'm a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, Qi Niangzi should not be uninteresting, who doesn't know about you and that second child? Do you still want to get married with such a reputation? ”

"It's better to follow me, the benefits are indispensable to you, you don't have to get up early and go to the city to do work in the dark, and you won't have to suffer anymore!"

Even though Qi Qing was full of fear at this time, she didn't delay her feeling extremely disgusted by these words.

Is it hardship for a woman to work to support herself?

It is clear that this self-righteous dirty face is the biggest pain in the world!

"If you don't leave, I'll call someone!" Qi Qing had retreated to the threshold of the hall, and Liu Mei raised his eyebrows and scolded.

"Call someone? Hey, I'd love to hear what you're calling later! The man's eyes were cloudy with a smile, and he stretched out his hand to rush towards Qi Qing.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a cold wind coming from the back of his neck.

The next moment, the collar of the cotton robe was grabbed, and the man pulled him backwards and almost caused him to fall to his back.

"Who!"

The man screamed, and just as he wanted to resist, his arms were pressed behind him, and he squeaked in pain.

Qi Qing became more and more shocked - how could he turn in another one!

When he was about to grab the gong behind the door of the hall, he heard the man behind him: "Qi Niangzi, it's me!" ”

This voice seemed to have been heard, Qi Qing mustered up the courage to look at it, and saw that the tall young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, it was-

"Captain Meng?!"

"It's me, Qi Niangzi, don't be afraid!" Meng Dazhu nodded.

At this time, the courtyard door was knocked from the outside, and the girl's slightly anxious voice came into the ears: "Qi Niangzi!" ”

This is...... Ji Ji girl next to Ji Xiao Niang?

Qi Qing hurriedly trotted forward to open the door.

"Qi Niangzi is okay, right?" Heng Yu hurriedly asked.

"Miss Ji, don't worry, I'm fine." As Qi Qing spoke, she saw the person standing behind the girl, and hurriedly saluted after being startled: "The folk girl has seen Marquis Xiao!" ”

Xiao Mu's gaze fell on her for a moment, and after bowing his head slightly, he walked into the courtyard with Hengyu.

The man who was restrained by Meng Dazhu saw Hengyu and the others coming, and he was a little more afraid in his heart: "You ...... Who are you? ”

Heng Yu looked at him, his eyes were slightly cold: "This sentence should be asked to you, do you know what the crime of trespassing into a private house is?" ”

"What kind of trespassing...... I, I don't know! Seeing that the situation was obviously not good, the man hurriedly said: "I'm just drunk, my brain is confused for a while, and I can't remember how I came here......"

"Can you climb over the wall when you're drunk?" Heng Yu sneered: "And why don't you go over the wall of the mansion?" Don't go to the wall of the Beihou Mansion? It's the courtyard wall of a woman who lives alone? ”

Pretending to be crazy and stupid in the name of being drunk is really too vulgar and disgusting.

Just like those who commit violence through drunkenness, even if they always claim to be drunk afterwards and don't remember anything, they can still magically accurately judge the strength and weakness when they are drunk, and when they are drunk, they only dare to swing their fists at the old and weak women and children who have no ability to resist, and if they meet an eight-foot strong man, they will only shrink their heads like a plague chicken and detour, and if they meet an official master, they will inevitably accompany the smiling face, or hide far away for fear of provoking the bad luck of the official master.

So, what kind of drunkenness method is this?

The man's face changed a few times, and he was about to break free: "...... I'll go, I'll go! ”

He's out of luck tonight!

"Who's going to let you go!" Gigi kicked the man's leg in the crook of the leg, and the man screamed in pain and threw himself on his knees.

At the same time, something fell from his sleeve to the ground with a soft thud.

Ji Ji bent down to pick it up, and his face immediately sank: "Girl, he also brought a knife!" ”

Hengyu looked at the dagger with some embroidery - it turned out that this was called "confused for a while" and "I can't remember how I came here".

"According to the note in "Shenglu Thief", those who enter people's homes without reason at night will be flogged forty." Hengyu looked at Qi Qing and said in a fixed voice: "The master will kill the one when he arrives, don't worry." ”

"Qi Niangzi, whoa!" Ji Ji handed the dagger to Qi Qing.

"......" Qi Qing took it nervously.

The man was frightened and kowtowed: "It's me bastard, it's me who has no eyes!" How dare you give birth to such a dirty mind...... I can't kowtow to Qi Niangzi! ”

This group of people obviously came from an unusual background, and it would be too much of a loss to kill him!

The man was so frightened that he slapped himself again and again.

"I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore......"

Seeing that his nosebleeds came out, Heng Yu felt a little relieved.

Xiao Mu glanced at her and said at the right time: "Do you want to transfer it to the government?" ”

Meng Dazhu subconsciously looked at his general.

Why did you hear a hint of inexplicable instructions from the general's tone??

"That's how it should be." Hengyu looked at Qi Qing: "What does Qi Niangzi think?" ”

The man's action of slapping himself - send it to the government? Don't kill him?

As everyone knows, Heng Yu didn't want to kill him - in the end, it was also marked in the law, he had been captured, and he couldn't refuse, although the crime was serious, it was not suitable for killing.

In such a case, if someone is killed, the master's family will also be punished.

She's fiercely law-abiding.

As for the words that just came out to scare-

Oh, it's just that he wants him to kowtow to Qi Niangzi a few more times - Marquis Xiao can see it.

So, again, one must read the law more.

Qi Qing also breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought that Miss Ji really wanted her to kill someone.

She really has no experience in this kind of thing, and she doesn't know that killing chickens is the same thing, and the person in front of her will inevitably be greasy and disgusting if she stabs it......

If she doesn't kill her, I'm afraid that Miss Ji will be disappointed in her......

Now you don't have to worry.

"Let's send it to the official." Qi Qing said simply.

"Don't, don't!" The man came back to his senses and hurriedly stretched out his hand in his arms for a while, and found out a few copper plates and a few grains of broken silver: "Qi Niangzi, this is a little bit of my heart to make amends!" If it's not enough, I can make an IOU! ”

Qi Qing didn't seem to hear this at all, glanced at the dagger in his hand, and asked Hengyu: "Miss Ji, trespassing on a private house with a knife, I think it's a crime to add a degree, right?" ”

Heng Yu nodded, and looked at the two entourages who came over under Xiao Mu's signal: "You Lao and you will bring this evidence with you." ”

The two followed.

The man was shocked: "...... Qi Niangzi, the matter is getting bigger, if there are unclear words to spread out, it will not be good for your reputation! ”

If he really went to the official mansion, not to mention the shame, the tigress in his house alone could tear him apart!

The Yue family will definitely be angry, he just relied on his father-in-law's help to get a job!

He really shouldn't be obsessed!

No wonder they all say that this Qi family is a broom star, and they can't touch it at all, and whoever gets it will have to suffer a lawsuit!

First Zhang Laoer, and now it's him again!

Listening to him take a bite of her name is important, Qi Qing just wants to sneer.

Famous festivals?

Can Mingjie be eaten as food, or can she turn into a Ji girl to save her from the fire when she is desperate?

Miao Niangzi is very right, the name festival is specially used to bully women, and the netherworld things that make women shut up when they are bullied.

In short, whoever loves this bad thing wants to go.

The man was quickly taken away.

Qi Qing thanked Heng Yu and Xiao Mu.

She is just a weak woman in the end, it is impossible to say that she is not afraid of such a thing, if it weren't for Miss Ji and Hou Ye appearing in time, she really didn't dare to imagine whether she could escape this catastrophe.

But......

On such a night, why did Miss Ji and Hou Ye suddenly come here?

After Heng Yu and Xiao Mu glanced at each other, it was Heng Yu who opened his mouth: "I don't know if Qi Niangzi has time to talk?" ”

"Nature." Qi Qing hurriedly said, "Miss Ji, Marquis Xiao, please speak in the house." ”

Xiao Mu said: "I'll just wait outside." ”

It was inconvenient for him to enter the women's room, and it was obviously more appropriate for the painter to discuss the matter with him alone.

Heng Yu nodded to him and entered the house with Qi Qing.

Qi Qing invited Hengyu to sit down on the stool, poured a cup of water in the teapot and handed it to Hengyu, and said a little apologetically: "It's too rude, the hospitality is not good, don't blame Miss Ji." ”

Heng Yu took the coarse porcelain cup with both hands, and said with a smile: "How could it be, the lady's residence is clean and tidy, and the things prepared are extremely practical——"

As he spoke, he looked at the thing hanging behind the door: "Especially this gong." ”

Qi Qing pursed her lips and smiled: "It's all Miss Ji's previous reminder-"

Miss Ji had previously reminded her that it was not safe to live alone, and if she encountered something uncontrollable, she would remember to call for help to her neighbors, and Miss Ji also told her that the law stipulates: those who are robbed and killed in their neighborhoods, and those who fail to help them will be given 100 rods; Those who hear and do not save will be reduced by one.

So be bold and call for help, and most of the neighbors will not ignore it.

She thought that her voice was not so good, so she prepared a noodle gong, and just then she retreated into the house, thinking that she wanted to hit the gong.

And—

"Just in case, I also got a vicious dog to defend myself."

Hearing this, Heng Yu looked at the fluffy yellow milk ball that came to his feet.

She couldn't help but smile and said, "This vicious dog hasn't been around for a few months and a half, I'm afraid it won't be evil." ”

Qi Qing also laughed.

"The lady lives alone, and she is still unstable in the end." Heng Yu said: "Why don't I find a place to live in the city for my lady tomorrow?" ”

What she came to confirm today may not be a positive result, if she is wrong, Qi Niangzi will live alone for a long time in the future.

"Thank you, Miss Ji, for your kindness." Qi Qing said with a smile: "Miao Niangzi kindly asked me to move to live with her in the shop, I originally planned to move in when the wind and cold healed." ”

Hengyu was relieved: "It's so good." ”

Qi Qing asked, "I don't know why Miss Ji came?" ”

Coming at such an hour, it should be an urgent matter-

However, what Hengyu said next gave her the feeling of chatting about idle days.

"Speaking of which, I haven't asked Qi Niangzi about the original family situation, I wonder if Niangzi still has relatives?"

She had a general understanding before, but she only knew that Qi Niangzi was originally the son of the original Jin Palace, and her father was a servant of the Jin Palace, and she was demoted to a lowly status because of the rebellion of the King of Jin.

Qi Qing said: "When there was an accident in the Jin Palace, my father and mother were over fifty years old, and my father was arrested to interrogate the accounts of the palace when he searched the palace, and he couldn't stand the punishment...... My aunt was weak, and because she couldn't stand the blow of Daddy's death, she didn't last long on the way to exile. ”

Heng Yu paid attention to the key point in his words, and said "Qi Niangzi's mourning", and then asked: "Does Niangzi have no other brothers and sisters?" ”

Qi Qing shook her head: "A-Niang's health is not good, so I have to have a child." ”

Therefore, this is a bad body, and it is difficult to give birth.

And those who were over fifty years ago were also in their thirties when they 'gave birth' to Qi Niang......

Heng Yu made more judgments in his heart, and continued to ask: "What is the impression of the lady about the things when she was young?" For example, is there any difference when getting along with Lingzun Lingtang? ”

When he was lost at the age of two, it is difficult to leave any memory, but if it is really a child who was stolen and picked up, and is in Yingzhou City with the Meng family, it will be impossible to do it without a heart.

"I don't remember much about my childhood." Qi Qing tried to recall, and said: "I only remember that Daddy and Auntie treated me very protectively, and I was the only child, so I cherished it a lot, and I almost never left the palace before I was ten years old." I remember that I ran out secretly, and when I came back, I was beaten by my father, and my mother cried and said, if I met the flower child, how ......would it be good?"

Speaking of this, Qi Niangzi smiled a little sadly.

Hengyu's heart has gradually set off waves.

Is this really just a coincidence?

"I wonder why Miss Ji suddenly asked about this?" Qi Qing realized that something was wrong from the beginning, but she didn't answer what her benefactor asked.

Heng Yu looked at the eyebrows in front of her that overlapped more and more with the portrait she painted, and said, "This trip to find Qi Niangzi is actually for a speculation that may sound a little absurd——"

If she doesn't get the slightest clue from the other party tonight, she may have to think again about whether she wants to say anything about it.

But there are too many "coincidences" in Qi Niangzi's words.

Qi Qing looked at the solemn girl suspiciously, and said softly, "Please also ask Miss Ji to speak clearly." ”

A gust of wind came in, causing the flame of the oil lamp on the old wooden table to flicker and flicker, and the wick struggled to protect the small cluster of fire, and when the wind stopped, the room was bright again.

Nearly two quarters of an hour later, Heng Yushi walked out of the house.

Qi Qing followed her and walked out.

Xiao Mu, who was waiting in the courtyard, looked over.

Heng Yu looked at him and said, "Master Hou, let's go to the Meng family." ”

Xiao Mu glanced at Qi Qing, who was a little stunned, and bowed his head slightly.
