Return of the Swallow

Chapter 122 Owl Head

At this time, although the key was not released at the time of Xu, the house was already brightly lit, and the palace lanterns hung high, making the shadows even darker.

The servants outside the second door all gathered in front of the door when they heard the news. The man was stronger than Qin Yining, and the family nurses also rushed over to hear the news.

But Qin Yining was Qin Huaiyuan's direct daughter, the serious master of the mansion. Even if these people had grown a hundred courageous, they would not dare to take action against the young lady, so they could only surround Qin Yining and dare not act.

Qin Yining's eyebrows were standing upright at this time, and her cherry lips were tightly pursed. She just had a fight with the maid and old lady, and now her hairpins are loose and sweating profusely. If she spends her time with these people and waits for someone in the house to chase after her, she is afraid that she will not have the upper hand.

"Get out of the way! Or I'll tell my father that you intended to be disrespectful to me!"

"Fourth Miss, the little people are also under orders, and the old lady said that you are not allowed to go out." The nursing home grimaced.

Qin Yining's expression softened a little, but his voice was still stern: "You dare to mix things up between the masters? Aren't you afraid that you will tire the family? You step aside, and I will explain to my father that the old lady is old and only suitable for management. She can't control the affairs of the house, not to mention who is in charge of this family, don't you know?"

Everyone looked at each other, and finally hesitantly made way for Qin Yining.

Qin Yining saw the time, raised her skirt and ran out quickly.

At this moment, the maid in the inner house sparsely chased to the door, panting against the wall, gasping for breath, pointing in Qin Yining's direction dryly and unable to say a word for a long time.

This fourth young lady is also too capable of running, and without seeing much effort, she will throw them all the way when she lifts her foot.

Seeing that everyone has disappeared. This group of servants from the outer courtyard was still poking stupidly, and the maids and women were also very helpless, so they could only go back to the old lady.

When the old lady heard that Qin Yining had broken out, she lost her temper again in anger. Not a single one of the blue and white porcelain tea sets in the room was left intact.

When the old lady lost her temper, Qin Yining was already outside the mansion, and saw the shopkeeper Zhong, Bingtang, and Songlan beside a carriage at the corner of the street, craned their necks to look in front of the mansion.

Seeing Qin Yining coming out, he was busy beckoning to her, and Bingtang ran over with her skirt, supporting Qin Yining and said, "Girl, are you alright? Thanks to Sister Songlan for calling me, we both took advantage of no one to notice. When we came out, we just saw a lot of people rushing to the second gate, and we were worried that the girl wouldn't be able to break out."

"rest assured,

They didn't dare to touch me at all. "

While speaking, Qin Yining had already arrived in front of the carriage.

"Boss Zhong, let's get in the car first and talk while walking."

"Yes."

Qin Yining smiled gratefully at Shopkeeper Zhong Da, let Bingtang and Songlan sit outside with the driver, and left Shopkeeper Zhong Da to talk in the carriage.

The carriage quickly drove towards the palace.

In the carriage, shopkeeper Zhong Da was still a little cautious.

Qin Yining smiled and said, "The shopkeeper Zhong Da is an elder, so I will ask him to talk to the big shopkeeper."

A word of "elderly" woke up shopkeeper Zhong Da.

They are both grandfathers and grandsons at their age, and they are masters and servants, so no one can criticize them.

The storekeeper Zhong Da let go and said sternly: "I have ordered someone to inquire about the matter in the palace. It is true that the first lady in the palace had a head-on conflict with the empress, and she was killed by the empress in a rage. People haven't been executed yet, they should be locked up somewhere. We have to wait for the emperor's will."

Qin Yining frowned and said, "Is there really such a thing?"

"Is the owner suspicious of this?"

"I was suspicious at first. No matter how confused the emperor is, he still needs face. My father has just returned from the successful peace talks for him. How could he kill the hero's wife in a blink of an eye?"

Shopkeeper Zhong Da shook his head and said in a low voice, "Our emperor's actions have never been inferred by ordinary people's style."

In order to protect himself, the emperor doesn't want to face, is there still less to do to harm Zhongliang?

Qin Yining frowned and said anxiously, "Master Zhong, is there any way we can save my mother's life? Is there anyone in the palace?"

"The owner just orders, as long as he has the ability to do it, the old man will not refuse. Besides, Zhao Yunsi's contacts are the contacts of the owner." The shopkeeper Zhong Da laughed when he said this, "Before I came, I heard about the palace I guessed that the owner would not stand by and would have to find a way to rescue the madam. Therefore, someone has been arranged to bribe the guards at the gate, and when the time comes, we will get dressed in the inner prisoner’s clothes, and we will go in and steal the madam.”

Qin Yining looked at Shopkeeper Zhong Da's wrinkled face but smiled very lovingly and sincerely, his nose was sore, and tears almost fell.

The shopkeeper Zhong Da is an outsider, and she can think of a way for her because of her initial effort and regardless of her own safety.

The old lady has been with her mother for nearly 30 years, yet she is still so cold-hearted.

The coldness in the house was beyond Qin Yining's imagination. And with the comparison, it becomes more and more clear who is close and who is estranged, and who is reliable.

The carriage was narrow, but Qin Yining still saluted the shopkeeper Zhong Da: "Thank you for your kindness."

"The owner must not be like this!" The shopkeeper Zhong Da hurriedly helped him and said: "If it wasn't for the owner at the time, our family would have been retaliated by those people in Qingliu by now. How can I still sit here and talk to you when I’m too tall? It’s not an old-fashioned way to repay your kindness, so don’t be so polite to me in the future.”

Qin Yining wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his cuff, and said, "Okay, I won't mention it in the future."

"What are the plans for the owner to save someone?"

"If someone is lost in the palace, they will definitely investigate thoroughly. I can only arrange for my mother to escape. As for me, I can't leave. At that time, it must be a separation." Qin Yining was a little down, but he regained his spirits in an instant. , "But no matter what, as long as there is life, there will still be a day to meet."

The shopkeeper Zhong Da nodded when he heard the words, admiring Qin Yining's perseverance and perseverance in times of crisis.

While speaking, the carriage had arrived at the "Guilin Building", which is the closest to the imperial palace under Zhao Yunsi.

At this hour, there were still many diners in the Guilin Building. Qin Yining did not dare to appear in public, so he went to the backyard to wait for the news.

Unexpectedly, the big shopkeeper of the clock brought back even more desperate news with a serious face.

"Master, our people just found out that it was not long after you left the Qin Mansion, and the people in the palace went to spread the word again. The matter of the eldest lady has become a big one. From poisoning and drinking to death, it will be displayed tomorrow at noon outside the Wumen Gate. already."

Qin Yining heard a bang in his head, the white porcelain blue-and-white gaiwan fell from her Yubai's hand and landed on her lap. He poured the hot tea all over her legs, and then fell to the ground with a shattering screeching sound.

"Girl!" Bingtang and Songlan hurried forward to check the skirt for her, for fear that she would be burned.

Fortunately, in winter, wear thick clothes, otherwise this bowl of hot tea is poured on the legs, not to burn.

Shopkeeper Zhong Da sighed: "Master, don't be too sad."

Qin Yining took a few deep breaths before forcing himself to calm down, and said with a slightly trembling voice, "Can you hear what it is for, Mr. Zhong, shopkeeper?"

The death method of giving poisoned wine can also be claimed to be a sudden death, which still retains the dignity after death.

But outside the Meridian Gate, the punishment of showing the owl to the public did not even give the opportunity to cover it up.

An owl's head is not the same as a beheading.

Beheading is just beheading.

The owl head hangs the severed head high on the wooden pole to show the crowd.

This is the punishment for the wicked.

What mistake did Sun's make?

The shopkeeper Zhong Da said, "It is said that the lady insulted the emperor for being a fool, saying that the emperor only murdered Zhongliang, why didn't he die early and take care of himself..."

Qin Yining covered his forehead, not knowing what to do for a while.

No matter how strong she is, she is still just a young girl who has not yet reached her age. Even if she has seen many people, she is still in a hurry in the face of such a big event.

"Where's my father? Can my father go back to the house now?" My father must have a way to save people!

Shopkeeper Zhong Da shook his head: "I haven't heard the news of Qin Taishi returning to the mansion."

Could it be that the father was implicated and locked up?

Qin Yining stared straight at the flickering candlelight, holding her forehead in a trance.

Although Bingtang and Songlan were anxious and angry at this moment, they did not dare to disturb Qin Yining by making random words, so they just followed along in a hurry.

After a while, Qin Yining's eyes became firm.

"In any case, I can't watch my mother die. Even if she scolds Shunjun and is suspected of committing a crime, it's just because she is honest and telling the truth. The fall of Dingguo's government is already wronged. Shunjun does this because he is being punished. It's only when he is ashamed that he becomes angry. It's just that the more he does it, the more people will scold him."

"Yes, Madam did not scold you wrong." The shopkeeper Zhong Da said in a low voice, "But what can you do, boss?"

"Anyway, I have to try my best, but it's not easy for the shopkeeper Zhong Dao to participate in the next thing. You just help me to inquire on the road, let's spend a lot of money, whether any brothers on the road are willing to take a risk for my mother. I believe that there will be brave men under the heavy reward. As long as the money is given enough, there should be chivalrous men who are not used to the actions of the faint-hearted."

"You are going to rob the Dharma Field!"

"Yes." Qin Yining nodded.

Shopkeeper Zhong Da pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "We Zhaoyun Division do not have much else, except that we have connections, so I will go to inquire immediately. The owner will rest for a while, let's do our best, and you shouldn't be too busy."

Qin Yining said gratefully: "You have to be careful this time, don't come forward to implicate yourself, you can just push me if you have anything. When someone hires you, don't participate in this matter, just worry about An An Be your chief shopkeeper of Zhao Yunsi."

"What did the girl say, my old Zhong is not the kind of ungrateful person."

"I know the character of the big shopkeeper. But you are not alone, you still have a family. Listen to me, don't interfere too much in this matter, just instruct a few more people and hire people around the bend. Come."

Shopkeeper Zhong Da opened his mouth, but finally swallowed the words, nodded heavily, and walked out quickly.

Bingtang went to find a skirt and served Qin Yining to put it on.

"Girl, don't worry, just rest for a while. No matter what you have to do tomorrow, you have to recharge your batteries to have strength, right?"

Qin Yining pursed her lips and nodded. After a while, she said, "You all go down. I want to be alone."

ps:

Yining: My mother, how can I tell the truth!

Pang Xiao: Think of the little bunny, be happy!

Erbai: Humph!
