At the beginning of noon, Xingdaofang, Qin Mansion
Qin Ming entered the front hall with Xiao Qingwan's support.
"My nephew meets Uncle Cheng and Uncle Yuchi."
After going to court, Cheng Yaojin took Yuchi Gong to the Qin Mansion together because he was worried about Qin Ming's injury.
At this time, seeing Qin Ming's face pale and extremely weak, his heart skipped a beat.
The interests of their Cheng family have been completely tied to Qin Ming. If anything goes wrong here in Qin Ming, their family's industry will also be affected.
What's more, Qin Ming has a very different temper towards him and likes drinking and singing equally, so Cheng Yaojin doesn't just regard Qin Ming as a junior.
If it weren't for the big age difference, Cheng Yaojin would have burned yellow paper with Qin Ming to worship him.
He quickly stood up and helped Qin Ming sit down, frowning and asked:
"My dear nephew, what happened last night? Where are your injuries? Is it serious?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Ming said to Qingwan who was standing aside:
"Wan'er, go and see if the food in the kitchen is ready."
Xiao Qingwan's lips moved when she heard this. Finally, when she saw Qin Ming's determined eyes, she had no choice but to say yes in a low voice, and then left the room with the maid in the room.
Qin Ming then looked at Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong and said:
"There were three serious stab wounds on his body. They have all been sutured up now. They are not serious."
Then Qin Ming told the two of them in detail how he was attacked last night.
After speaking, Qin Ming turned to Yuchi Gong and said:
"Uncle Yuchi, as my nephew said, the two barbarians came for my nephew last night. Brother Baolin said last night that he must have seen that the patrolling Wuhou wanted to perfunctory. That's why. ..."
Yuchi Gong snorted when he heard this. He already knew what happened when he interrogated the barbarian last night.
The reason why I didn’t directly tell the truth this morning.
Firstly, Yuchi Gong had left Chang'an for many years and wanted to establish his prestige. Secondly, he also wanted Qin Ming to owe him a favor.
"Well, I knew about this when I interrogated the barbarian last night. But you should really thank me. After all, I have already reported this matter to Your Majesty at the meeting today on the grounds that Pauline was attacked. I believe it will happen soon. Then we can get to the bottom of it.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Ming stood up tremblingly and bowed respectfully to Yuchi:
"My nephew thanked Uncle Yuchi. By the way, Uncle Yuchi, did you get any clues from that barbarian last night?"
Yuchi Gong thought for a while and said:
"According to that Hu man, he went to Baihua Pavilion yesterday afternoon and waited to see you. From this, it can be seen that the person behind the scenes seems to be sure that you will go to Baihua Pavilion. In addition, he also said that the other party When I pointed you out, it seemed like you had just finished singing.”
"So in my opinion, since the other party identified you in Baihua Pavilion, it is very likely that the person behind the scenes last night was also in Baihua Pavilion at that time."
Qin Ming fell into deep thought after hearing this. He went to Baihua Pavilion last night purely on a temporary basis.
Why were the people behind the scenes so sure that he would go to Baihua Pavilion? He had ambushed someone there as early as the afternoon, which meant that he at least knew that he had been to Baihua Pavilion.
In addition, since the killer only knew his appearance when he was in Baihua Pavilion, the range was very small. The period from when his box door was pushed open yesterday to when he left Baihua Pavilion was very short.
And since he was targeted in Baihua Pavilion, does that mean that as long as Wen Yuan finds out who was present last night, the scope of his suspicion will be greatly reduced.
Cheng Yaojin understood the whole story and asked with a frown:
"My dear nephew, why did you go to Baihua Pavilion last night? Who specially invited you there?"
When Qin Ming heard this, he looked at Cheng Yaojin with a strange look in his eyes. After thinking about it for a moment, he said:
"Actually, my nephew had no intention of going to Pingkangfang yesterday. When he was shopping for lanterns, Brother Chu Mo accidentally mentioned Pingkangfang. My nephew remembered that his grandfather had property in Pingkangfang, so he happened to go over and take a look."
"And my grandfather's property happens to be opposite Baihua Pavilion, so it is purely a coincidence that my nephew goes to Baihua Pavilion."
Qin Ming said that, but he knew very well that this was definitely not a coincidence, but Qin Ming also believed that the two brothers Cheng Chumo would never harm him.
It is very possible that the Cheng brothers were also taken advantage of.
At this time, Qin Ming felt that he was getting closer and closer to the truth of the matter. He only needed to find the Cheng family brothers and ask them why they invited him to Baihua Pavilion.
Combined with the people he has offended so far, it is almost clear who is behind the scenes.
Cheng Yaojin is such a smart man. When he heard this, he immediately realized that his two stupid sons might have been taken advantage of.
He had been shrewd all his life, but how could he have given birth to such two idiots?
"Those two bastards, nephew, please wait a moment, I will arrange for someone to find them right now."
Qin Ming thought for a while and quickly stopped him:
"Uncle Cheng, please calm down. My nephew just said that this matter has nothing to do with Chu Mo and the two of them. Everything is just a coincidence. You must not blame them."
In fact, the reason why Qin Ming stopped Cheng Yaojin was because he didn't want the Cheng family to get involved in this matter, and the most important thing was that Qin Ming felt that the information he had now, coupled with Wen Yuan's investigation, was enough to make him The person behind the scenes was found.
If the person behind the scenes is really one of the two families that Qin Ming was thinking of, then this matter still cannot be revealed in front of Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong.
Because those two families are not small families, if Qin Ming wants to quietly take revenge on the person behind the scenes, he must not let people know that he has learned who the person behind the scenes is.
Otherwise, if one day the person behind the scenes dies inexplicably, then he will be suspected for the first time, or even believed that he murdered that person out of revenge.
When that time comes, then I and those two families will really fight to the death.
I am a quiet person now, and I have such a big family around me, so I can't make mistakes. It is best to avenge my revenge silently, so that when I am angry, I will not leave too many hidden dangers.
Qin Ming persuaded Cheng Yaojin for a while. Cheng Yaojin saw that Qin Ming's expression was serious and did not seem to be fake, so he nodded and sat back down.
Cheng Yaojin was not sure whether Qin Ming was really afraid that he would blame his two sons, or whether he did not want to continue investigating the matter.
But no matter what the reason was, Cheng Yaojin felt that Qin Ming was not a fool, and there must be a reason for doing this.
Not long after everyone sat down, a maid came in from outside the door, bowed and said:
"Young Master, a lady came to the door of the house, saying that she was sent by the Queen to look at the Young Master's injuries. She is in the courtyard at the moment. Do you want to invite her in?"
Qin Ming was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then thought about it and said:
"Invite her in."
Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong looked at each other, stood up and said to Qin Ming:
"My dear nephew, please take good care of yourself. If you have anything to do, just come to my uncle's house and say something. Don't be polite. I will go back first."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ming quickly stood up and saluted:
"My nephew is sending a gift to my two uncles."
Yuchi Gong patted Qin Ming on the shoulder and said:
"My dear nephew, there is no need to send it off. If you have anything to do in the future, remember to send someone to the Duke of E's Mansion to inform you."
Qin Ming smiled and nodded when he heard this:
"Yes, my nephew has remembered it."
