The front yard of Qin Mansion.
More than twenty guards in royal robes surrounded a tall and thin man, standing with a sword in his hand.
Qin Wenzheng had his hands cut behind his back and was arrested.
Song Ruyue was also surrounded by several royal guards, her face turned pale.
The rest of the Qin family all had earth-colored faces and dared not speak.
Second Miss Qin, supported by Qiu'er and Zhu'er, hurried over and argued with the tall and thin man.
That tall and thin man was none other than the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guards, Wang Xiang.
After Luo Changtian was killed, Nangong Yang was furious and handed the matter over to him.
If he can find the murderer, he will naturally become the real leader of Jin Yiwei.
During this period, he led people to investigate every day.
As the investigation deepened, he felt more and more that the man named Chu Feiyang was very suspicious.
Although the opponent's cultivation level seems to be only in the middle stage of martial arts, his identity and background are extremely mysterious, and there may be other experts around him to help him.
He obviously lives in Kyoto and often goes to the martial arts gym to practice, but he can't find any information about his family, relatives and friends.
He was also a bigger suspect in the murder of Luo Changtian's younger brother Luo Yu.
So Wang Xiang has been leading people to investigate him recently, but no results have been found, so tonight, he found this place.
"According to our investigation, Chu Feiyang once rescued Mrs. Qin in the Zhou Mansion, and your Qin family also invited him to have dinner, so we came here today to ask Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin to help with the wedding. If it is said here If you don’t know, then please go to our Jinyiwei place and tell us.”
Wang Xiang held the handle of the knife in his hand and said with a cold face.
If he hadn't known that this family had a close relationship with the eldest princess, he would have taken them back and tortured them. Why would he be talking nonsense to them here?
Song Ruyue said angrily: "If you don't know, you just don't know. Why do you think I know? Mr. Chu did save me, and I did invite him to have dinner, but we have only known each other for a few days and have never been to him." At home, how do you know where he lives and who is at home?”
Second Miss Qin also frowned and said: "Even your Jin Yiwei can't find out the background of Mr. Chu, so how do we, the Qin family, know about it? Since he wants to hide it, he will naturally not be exposed to us easily. Sir, we Qin family Although my family has no official position now, it is still after meritorious service. My eldest and second brothers are also students of Longhu College, and my husband is also a civil servant. How can you take someone for no reason like this? "
Wang Xiang explained a few words to her, but he was no longer patient. He snorted coldly, patted the knife on his waist and said: "This is the truth! I, the Jinyi Guard, do not need any evidence to take someone!"
Then he said in a cold voice: "Since you want to stop me, fine, I'll take you back for interrogation as well. I'll go to our Jinyi Guard's prison later and see if you can recruit me!"
After that, he shouted sternly: "Come here, get her too!"
It was about his future, and even if these people had a close relationship with the eldest princess, he couldn't care less.
What's more, as far as he knew, the eldest princess now had too much to take care of herself.
Just as the two Jin Yi guards were about to walk towards Miss Qin, Zhu'er immediately stood in front of him, holding a throwing knife and glaring angrily: "Whoever dares to touch my young lady, I will fight with him!"
Wang Xiang looked at the flying knife in her hand and sneered: "Anyone who dares to resist will be shot without mercy!"
"Bang!"
The two Jinyi guards suddenly pulled out the knives from their waists and continued walking towards Miss Qin.
At this moment, a figure suddenly walked out of the corridor and said in a cold voice: "My lord, do you come to my Qin Mansion to pick up someone? Does your Majesty know?"
As soon as these words came out, Wang Xiang's eyelids twitched and he looked up towards the corridor.
A young man wearing a Confucian robe and a girl holding a sword walked out from the corner of the corridor and came to the courtyard.
Wang Xiang narrowed his eyes and said, "Who are you?"
Luo Qingzhou said expressionlessly: "It's just a son-in-law, not worth mentioning. However, I just entered the palace with Eunuch Li last night and talked with the Holy One for a long time. The Holy One encouraged me to serve the country from now on and share the worries of the king. He also said I will often go to the palace to talk to you from now on. I have also made a promise to the Holy One, and I will be loyal to the Holy One from now on. So I would like to ask, Sir, did you get the permission of the Holy One when you came to my Qin Mansion tonight to pick up someone?"
As soon as these words came out, Wang Xiang's expression changed slightly.
At this time, a guard in golden clothes behind him immediately walked up to him and whispered: "Sir, he is Mr. Luo, the son-in-law of the Qin family. I did see Eunuch Li next to the Holy Master last night and took him into the palace to spend time with him. , and personally sent him out of the palace. When he left the palace, he slapped Eunuch Li dozens of times. Eunuch Li knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, but did not dare to resist..."
When Wang Xiang heard this, his heart was shocked.
Eunuch Li and Li Gui, the personal eunuch who grew up with the Holy Master, were slapped so many times by this young man and still knelt on the ground to beg for mercy?
"Snapped!"
He suddenly slapped the Jin Yiwei subordinate's face, and whispered sternly: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
The Jin Yiwei covered his burning cheeks and whispered with fear on his face: "Eunuch Li warned everyone around last night not to tell anyone about what happened last night... I was just afraid that you would make a mistake, so... …”
"roll!"
Wang Xiang gritted his teeth and shouted angrily, clenched his fists, and then slowly released them.
When he turned his head and looked at the young man in front of him, he suddenly smiled again, cupped his hands and said: "It turns out to be Mr. Luo, disrespectful."
Then he sighed again and said with a wry smile on his face: "Master Luo doesn't know something. I have been very busy these days because of this affair, but I don't have any clues. I finally caught some clues, but I couldn't find any clues." People who can't see each other. I heard that you Qin family may know each other, so I came here to disturb you. Mr. Luo, don't get me wrong. I came here tonight just to ask some questions. I just said that I would take them away, and I was trying to scare them out of desperation. Hey, this eucalyptus can't be broken, but the Holy Spirit wants to take it down."
Luo Qingzhou cupped his hands and said, "Do you want to inquire about Mr. Chu?"
Wang Xiang's eyes lit up and he quickly bowed his hands and said, "Master Luo, do you know?"
Luo Qingzhou said calmly: "That Mr. Chu has always been mysterious, and I don't know his background. However, when I went out today, I met him and chatted with him for a few words. He said that he would go to Wuhan tomorrow. He is practicing in the martial arts hall. If your Excellency wants to investigate him, just go to the martial arts hall tomorrow to guard him. As for where the martial arts hall is, I don’t know, I believe your Excellency should know."
When Wang Xiang heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly raised his hands and said: "Thank you Mr. Luo for informing me. We have been looking for him these days, and we also went to the martial arts hall to guard him, but we did not find him. Since the commander's family was killed, he It’s like he disappeared. I originally thought he had left the city, but I didn’t expect he was still in the city. That would be great.”
Luo Qingzhou said with a cold face: "Let me remind you, sir, we just met Mr. Chu by chance a few times, and we are not familiar with him. As for his identity, background and home address, we are really I don’t know anything about it. I hope you won’t disturb my family in the future. We are all ordinary people who abide by laws and regulations. We just want to live quietly and honestly.”
Prime Minister Wang suddenly apologized and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Luo, things like today will never happen again next time. I apologize to Mr. Luo again for our recklessness, and hope that Mr. Luo will not take it to heart." "
After saying that, he immediately shouted to his subordinates: "Let Master Qin and Mrs. Qin go quickly!"
The Jinyi guards immediately let go and backed away.
Wang Xiang held up his hands again to apologize and said, "Thank you, Mr. Luo, for telling the truth. Then we won't disturb you all."
After that, a group of people left quickly.
In the courtyard, it soon became quiet.
Everyone in the Qin family was looking at the door in a daze.
Song Ruyue suddenly said: "Qingzhou, you...you went to the palace last night and really...really promised the Holy Lord..."
"Ahem!"
Qin Wenzheng on the side immediately interrupted her and said, "Let's go back to the house. Don't mention this matter again."
Song Ruyue wanted to speak again, but after taking a look at his face, she had no choice but to close her mouth.
The servants all dispersed.
Luo Qingzhou supported Miss Qin and entered the living room.
Song Ruyue looked sad and worried.
Luo Qingzhou comforted him: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, you don't have to worry, he won't come again in the future."
Qin Wenzheng looked at him and said, "Is what you just said to him true?"
Luo Qingzhou nodded and said, "It's true."
Qin Wenzheng looked at him strangely.
Song Ruyue couldn't help but said: "Qingzhou, you... didn't you promise the eldest princess, why... why did you follow the Holy Lord again..."
Luo Qingzhou said calmly: "I did tell the Lord that, but...as for what I will do, that is another matter."
Qin Wenzheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then frowned and said: "If you want to stand firm in the officialdom, you really need to be versatile, but..."
Luo Qingzhou said: "Father-in-law, there is no one else here. Qingzhou can tell you the truth. Qingzhou is not an all-rounder, nor will he be a wallflower, nor will he betray the eldest princess. Qingzhou will always support the eldest princess. As for the Holy Master, every word Qingzhou said to him was a lie to him."
Qin Wenzheng: "..."
Song Ruyue suddenly trembled with fright, hurriedly went over to close the door, and said with a frightened face: "Qingzhou, I don't dare to say these words casually, the crime of deceiving the emperor is to be beheaded."
Luo Qingzhou said calmly: "Also, I will help the eldest princess win the throne. Even if the eldest princess gives up, I will still find a way to push her to fight for it, and then, I will also find a way... to help her kill her. emperor."
"Ouch!"
When Song Ruyue heard this, she exclaimed in fright, her legs went weak, and she collapsed on the ground. Her pretty face turned pale, and her whole body trembled as she said, "You...you..."
Qin Wenzheng also turned pale, and his voice couldn't help but trembled: "Qingzhou, you..."
Miss Qin Er said softly from the side: "Dad, mother, there is no one else here. The reason why brother Qingzhou told you is to let you understand the current situation, and also to make you mentally prepared as soon as possible. If it is still the case now With the emperor on the throne, our Qin family will never have peace."
Song Ruyue was shaking all over, covering her ears, shaking her head and saying: "Wei...Wei Mo, stop talking, stop talking...Mother is about to be scared to death by you two..."
Qin Wenzheng's face was ugly and he was silent for a long time. Fang slowly said: "The matter has come to this, and I have nothing to say. Qingzhou, since Weimo supports you, we will naturally support you too. But... today's Deputy Jin Yiwei Commander, I think he might come again. If you say anything tonight, I guess you won’t be able to deceive him for long.”
Before Luo Qingzhou could reply, Miss Qin whispered from the side: "Dad, it's okay. Just leave this matter to us. You don't have to worry."
Qin Wenzheng glanced at her, then at the young man beside her, nodded, and said no more.
"Father, mother, you should rest early. Weimo and Brother Qingzhou are going back first."
Miss Qin didn't say anything more and pulled Luo Qingzhou away.
After the two left, Song Ruyue was still trembling and said: "Master, I really didn't realize why that kid is so brave. He is so bold that he actually wants to kill... kill..."
"Shut up! Don't mention this matter again in the future! Don't ask too much about outside matters! Wei Mo and Qing Zhou have the final say on those matters. Just take care of your family, talk less and do more!"
Qin Wenzheng immediately interrupted her and stared at her.
Song Ruyue burst into tears and said aggrievedly: "Master, I was just frightened by that kid. Three of my souls lost two of them. My legs were so frightened that I couldn't stand up. Why are you so cruel to me again? Wow." , you don’t know how to care about women at all, you run outside every day, is there a woman outside?"
Qin Wenzheng: "..."
The night wind is biting.
Luo Qingzhou helped Miss Qin wrap up her clothes, followed Qiu'er and Zhu'er, and walked towards Meixiang Garden.
Xia Chan held the sword and followed silently.
The entire journey was silent.
When she arrived at the door of Meixiang Garden, Miss Qin Er stopped, turned around, and shouted softly: "Xia Chan, come here."
Xia Chan hesitated for a moment, walked up, lowered her head, and stopped in front of her.
Miss Qin Er gently held her cold little hand, looked at her gently and said, "Is it cold?"
Xia Chan shook her head slightly.
Second Miss Qin held her hand and said, "Come on, come with me to the study to warm up, and let's talk."
Xia Chan struggled hurriedly, lowered her head and said, "No, I won't go."
Miss Qin Er said softly: "Why don't you go? Now that I'm close to you, I won't cough anymore, so don't be afraid."
Xia Chan was silent for a moment, raised her head slightly, glanced at her snow-white fox fur and spotless white dress, and then at her face as beautiful as a lotus, then lowered her head tightly, looking at herself stained with The muddy shoes, he said cautiously: "Chan, Chan Chan, dirty..."
After she got up in the afternoon, she practiced swordplay in the back garden. There were leaves, dust, and sweat on her hair.
She didn't want to dirty the second lady's and his room...
Miss Qin Er was slightly startled and looked at her with distressed eyes.
Luo Qingzhou took her other little hand and said: "Chanchan, let's go to the room. My uncle will tell you about tomorrow's affairs. I couldn't ask you to help my uncle tonight, but I will definitely let you contribute tomorrow. .”
Xia Chan was still struggling, but when she couldn't break free, she could only whisper: "I, I'm going to take a shower..."
Luo Qingzhou couldn't help but picked her up and walked into the small courtyard, saying: "Wash here."
Miss Qin Er followed behind with a smile.
Qiu'er closed the courtyard door, and then asked Zhu'er to go to the kitchen to boil water.
