Chapter 246 Everything makes sense
Qi Jingxing drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the official has already asked someone to inform your parents and family, so take it here with peace of mind."
Therefore, the hearts of the people began to panic a little, and they didn't understand what the young Qincha in front of them wanted to do.
At this time, the granaries of several grain merchants began to be lively.
Someone hurriedly wanted to report the news, but everyone was stopped directly outside the county office, and the trouble was so bad that they were directly knocked out and thrown into prison.
For a while, several merchant families were worried.
A few days passed.
Shen Youqiu's skills in controlling fire and keeping warm have become more and more proficient, and she can now wear clothes that don't need to be so heavy and stay in the snow for a while.
And Shen Yuxin and Fu Chengxiang became more and more familiar, Fu Chengxiang would go to the blacksmith shop almost every day to sit for a while, the two chatted, drank tea, and then he slowly went home.
At this time, Shen Yuxin's existence reached the ears of the eldest prince.
After listening to the advice of his subordinates, the eldest prince immediately thought of the blacksmith who forged the iron sword, he had sent his right-hand men before, but all of them were damaged, this incident made him suffer a major blow, and he has always been unforgettable.
The blacksmith was obviously a newcomer, and he had a daughter, who, according to him, was as beautiful as a flower.
He immediately thought of Shen Youqiu.
The *** who is with Qi Jingxing!
If this blacksmith's daughter is Shen Youqiu, then everything seems to make sense.
The place where Shen Yuxin disappeared and hid was the place where the blacksmith was, and they should have known each other for a long time, so the reason for all the losses he sent out was that Qi Jingxing had been protecting their family all along, yes, all his subordinates must have been killed by Qi Jingxing's people!
"Okay, okay, Qi Jingxing, you're really good!"
He trembled with rage, stood up and laughed angrily.
"His Royal Highness said, how could someone with such a high vision fall in love with the woman in the cottage inexplicably, it turns out that you have hooked up a long time ago, and you are really an out-and-out dog man and woman, hehe!"
"But your good days are coming to an end, and that old man is going to craft the best weapons."
He muttered to himself, a maniacal, smug smile on his face.
"Hahahahaha!"
"Someone's coming!"
He shouted loudly, and said in high spirits, "Take someone and give me the old man's shop."
"Yes!"
Soon, he led a group of people to rush to the blacksmith shop in Shen Yuxin, looking at the blacksmith shop in front of him, the madness and excitement in his eyes couldn't help but overflow.
As long as you catch this old man, the guy from *** and Liuyue Village will naturally appear.
Thinking about it, he rushed forward, kicked the door open with a "bang", and was about to shout, when he suddenly looked at the person in front of him, and was directly stunned.
Why is Prime Minister Fu here?
Prime Minister Fu was also stunned, but quickly reacted, stood up, and said, "This lord, what are you doing forcibly breaking into a private house?"
The eldest prince was stunned for a moment, and he didn't react for a while.
saw Prime Minister Fu smile and stepped forward; "Don't you know this official, this official is a five-grade official of the imperial court, and he has seen adults a few times on weekdays."
At this time, the eldest prince finally reacted, he looked at Shen Yuxin, and then at Prime Minister Fu Cheng who was pretending to be crazy and stupid in front of him, and said in his heart that this old guy had already found someone, and he didn't say anything!
Thinking about it, he sneered, "This official is handling the case, recently someone said that the iron was stolen from the house, and it is suspected that the blacksmith stole it, and the official specially came to investigate."
The subordinates who followed the eldest prince all looked at each other for a while when they heard this, not knowing what to do or what to say.
"Absolutely impossible!"
Prime Minister Fu Cheng stood up, "Brother Shen is kind-hearted, and the forgiveness he used to strike iron is all from the mine, and he definitely didn't steal other people's things, and this official is willing to start with his official reputation
I swear, he can't be a thief, so please go back."
"No, no, no, where can I afford this?" Shen Yuxin hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Brother Hu, don't say that, I must be innocent, I don't need you to do this."
The eldest prince looked at the two of them, and after making sure that Prime Minister Fu really let him go, he thought that he would have something to ask him for help in the future, so he had to suppress the dissatisfaction and excitement in his heart, and said coldly: "In this case, I will go to another house to investigate first, it is best that you have not stolen, if I find out that your hands and feet are not clean, this official will definitely be severely punished!"
"Absolutely not!"
Shen Yuxin immediately stood up and said loudly, "My lord, I can swear that I really haven't stolen anyone's iron weapons, if I tell a lie, then there will be five thunderstorms in the sky!"
"It better be!"
After speaking, the eldest prince turned around and left with people.
When he was far away, his subordinates couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, just let that guy go?"
"How is that possible?" The eldest prince sneered; "Since the prime minister is here, His Royal Highness still has to give him a face, but it's impossible for the old guy not to go home, and when the time comes, it's the same to follow and take them all away! I was a little impulsive just now, but now it seems that Prime Minister Fu helped me."
The subordinates immediately patted their ass: "Your Highness is wise!"
At this time, in the blacksmith shop, Shen Yuxin took a sip of hot tea in shock, and looked at Prime Minister Fu Cheng gratefully, "Brother Hu, I really thanked you just now, you are really good to me, I really didn't expect that there is such a good and approachable official as you in this world."
"Wupin, this is really a big official." Shen Yuxin said with some excitement; "The county magistrates in our county are all only eight grades, and Brother Hu is really powerful."
Prime Minister Fu shook his head modestly and said with a smile: "Brother Shen, you don't understand the situation, the fifth-grade officials in this capital are not as good as the eight-rank officials in the small county town, there are big officials everywhere, like me, it is nothing at all."
"Haha, how can it be nothing!" Shen Yuxin stepped forward to hold his hand and said; "How about a drink at my house today?" I'll ask Madame to cook something delicious, so that we brothers don't get drunk and don't go home!"
"Since Brother Shen treats each other warmly, I'm not welcome, I'll go with you at the party!"
"Brother Hu is really a cheerful person, then I won't strike iron today, let's go back directly!"
With that, Shen Yuxin packed up his things and prepared to leave.
At this moment, a person ran in in a panic, half-knelt in front of Prime Minister Fu Cheng, and said with a cold breath in his mouth: "My lord, it's not good, I just got the news that General Qi has an accident."
"What's wrong?" Prime Minister Fu frowned.
When Shen Yuxin heard this title, his heart was also shocked.
The man continued, "I heard that General Qi was attacked by a mob during the disaster relief and was seriously injured, and he will be sent back to the capital soon."
