"Hurry up, don't let him run!"

I heard that there was a sudden noise in the house, and Tang Xuan, who was bound hand and foot, jumped and fled outside.

Before he could run to the door, he was tied up on the spot by five big and three rough house slaves.

I only heard the angry roar of the old man of the Tang family: "If he dares to run again, he will break his legs!" If the leg is broken, it can still be treated, the career is broken, and the old man has no face to go to see the ancestors of the Tang family! ”

Seeing Tang Xuan whimpering and struggling, he was dragged all the way back to the mansion.

Miss Ying'er was at a loss.

The old housekeeper sighed: "Miss Ying'er, you have also seen the situation in our family, people always have to take care of themselves, don't they?" We can't help with this, why don't you ask the Nangong family? ”

That's right, Tang Xuan can't, and Nangong Yuan!

Thinking of this, Miss Ying'er hurriedly said goodbye and rode straight to Nangong's house in a carriage.

Before I arrived at Nangong's house, I was halfway down the road and collided with Nangong Xixin.

"Xixin, where's your brother?" Miss Ying'er hurriedly asked.

I saw Nangong Xixin crying and red-nosed, and said anxiously and angrily: "Don't mention it!" My brother was locked up at home after my dad broke his legs! ”

"Huh?"

"My father said that we have done our best to help Qin Gongzi write a letter, and we will not interfere in the superfluous matters. My brother didn't accept it and had to run out, but his legs were broken by my father's life! "Who would have thought that Nangong Hou, who is high-spirited and bright on weekdays, would actually have a day when he was afraid of the powerful?

Speaking of this, Nangong Xixin choked up and asked, "Sister Ying'er, what did Tang Xuan say over there?" My brother is still lying in bed and hasn't woken up, but there is only one witness, Tang Xuan, is there no problem with him, right? ”

Miss Ying'er's face was bitter, and she immediately told her what had just happened to her in the Tang family.

Hearing that Tang Xuan couldn't testify either, Nangong Xi jumped up anxiously.

"What can I do? Without a witness, who can prove Qin Gongzi's innocence? Isn't this sincerely pushing Qin Gongzi into the fire pit? ”

"Let's go! Come home with me. Miss Ying'er gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice: "Let's go and beg my father together, as long as my father is willing to help Qin Gongzi speak, presumably General Ning will not be too embarrassed by Qin Gongzi." ”

The two of them returned to the City Lord's Mansion in a hurry.

Just when Miss Ying'er took Nangong Xixin and wanted to go in, she was blocked by her subordinates.

"Miss, the master has instructed, let you go to his study alone to find him when you come back."

"Sister Xixin, then you wait for me here first, I'll be back soon."

After settling Nangong Xixin, Miss Ying'er walked straight towards the study.

In the study, the lord of the coastal city is practicing calligraphy with a wolf howl.

"Daddy! You already knew that the Nangong family and the Tang family wouldn't help Qin Zhen, right? ”

Facing his daughter, who was quite a bit of a teacher and questioned, the coastal city lord smiled faintly and said in a deep voice.

"What is the origin of the Ning family? Now the favorite concubine of the saint is Ning Xianbei's daughter, and half of the big merchant and sailor are in the hands of others! Even if it is Jiangnan Mu, he has to give his old man a little thin noodles, looking at the generals of the big commercial houses, who can't call him an old general? ”

"It's too late for many people to climb the flames, how can they offend the Ning family for a small Qin Town?"

"The saint is only five years old, where can I use a concubine?!" Miss Ying'er blurted out: "This is clearly the Ning family's plot for power!" ”

"So what?"

The Offshore City Lord glanced at his daughter and reprimanded.

"Others have a way to send their daughter to the bedside of the young emperor, and no matter how many people want to send it, they can't send it! If I had one-tenth of the resources of his Ning family, my father would also send you to the harem to enjoy the blessings, how good! ”

"Daddy!" Miss Ying'er looked at the man in front of her in disbelief.

This father, who grew up and taught himself poetry and book etiquette, would actually say such a shocking remark!

"Daughter, when my father was young, he was ignorant and made a lot of absurdities, but later thanks to your grandfather's guidance, he understood many things." The chief writer of Offshore City walked the dragon and snake, and the words were strong: "Justice, justice, affection, all bullshit!" It's true that you're comfortable! ”

"General Ning has spoken, as long as we help him settle this matter, we can return to Kyoto and live the fairy life like before! Your grandfather made a mistake, and it has been almost ten years since we came to this coastal county where birds don't, haven't you had enough of these days? ”

"I ......," Miss Ying'er stopped talking.

Jiangnan is like water, but how can Kyoto be prosperous?

When she remembered her life in Kyoto as a child, her eyes flashed with struggle.

"You don't want to see your mother again? Meet your grandparents? Meet those childhood playmates of yours? ”

"Just for a small Qin Town?"

"Daddy...... That's not right. Miss Ying'er said with difficulty.

The kindness in her heart controls her bottom line, making it difficult for her to cross that step.

At this time, the lord of the coastal city could put away his pen, and saw four big characters written between the white words.

The world is for the public.

"Ying'er, Dad told you that the adult world is not right or wrong, only interests. Qin Zhen could help me make money before, so I will protect him; Now that he can't open his eyes, he has provoked people who shouldn't be provoked, he deserves to die, and he can't complain about us! ”

Speaking of this, the Offshore City Lord walked up to Miss Ying'er and sighed.

"It was the Ning family who killed him, what does it have to do with us? Take 10,000 steps back, even if I have the heart to help him, but now that there is no one to get a certificate, who can help him? Since he is already certain to die, why don't we go down the river and get a certificate of surrender to return to Kyoto? ”

He patted his daughter on the shoulder and said slowly.

"Think about it."

Miss Ying'er's face flickered white and dark, as if she was struggling, as if she was hesitating.

But in the end, the goodness in her eyes was suppressed, and it was replaced by the coldness of her daily life and a trace of deeply hidden shame.

Seeing Miss Ying'er walk out, Nangong Xixin hurriedly stepped up and asked nervously.

"Sister Ying'er, how's it going? Is your father willing to help Gongzi Qin? ”

Miss Ying'er's face was cold: "I'm sorry, I can't help you." ”

"Huh?" Nangong Xixin looked at a loss.

"I said, I can't help Qin Gongzi, and my father can't help Qin Gongzi." Miss Ying'er lowered her head, not daring to look at Nangong Xixin's eyes, and said fiercely: "Xixin, listen to my sister's advice, don't help you, we can't save him......"

"Why are you like this?!"

Nangong Xixin took a few steps back in disbelief.

First Daddy, then the Tang family, and finally even Miss Ying'er said such things!

This made her, who was good-natured, unable to accept it at all.

"One is one, two is two! Qin Gongzi is innocent, why slander him! ”

"Xixin, listen to me, I also have a hard time......" Miss Ying'er wanted to explain.

was pushed away by Nangong Xixin.

Her eyes were reddened with fragmented fragility.

"If you don't help, I'll help! I don't believe that a good person like Qin Gongzi can still be troubled by those soldiers and bandits?! ”

With that, she ran away without looking back.
