Qu Xiaocang turned to look at Yang Ning and said with a smile: "Where is your home? If it is inconvenient, I can send someone to take you back now." He said to Chen Qi: "Go prepare the carriage and follow this young master's instructions to take him back." go back."
"No hurry, no rush." Yang Ning said slowly: "Qu Xiaowei, can you also let me meet the people from Jinyihou Mansion? Maybe I know them too."
Everyone else was silent.
These people in the Shenhou Mansion are not fools, and the people present also vaguely understand something.
At this time, Qu Xiaocang could only hold on, and said seriously: "Do you know people from the Jinyihou Mansion? Is it possible that you have friendship with the Jinyihou Mansion?"
"We have some friendship." Yang Ning acted with him, "Many people in Jinyihou Mansion and I are old friends, and they will probably not forget me."
Qu Xiaocang laughed and said: "The capital is not small, but it is not big. If you really know the people in Jinyihou Mansion, you can meet them."
Not long after, I heard footsteps coming from outside. A man entered the door anxiously. Before he even stepped in, a voice came in: "Which captain of the Shenhou Mansion is here?"
Qu Xiaocang had already stepped forward to greet him, only to see a thick figure coming in. Qu Xiaocang had already smiled and said: "Isn't this Mr. Duan? What gust of wind brought you here?"
The visitor turned out to be Duan Canghai.
Duan Canghai grabbed Qu Xiaocang's arm and said urgently: "Qu Xiaowei, hurry up...hurry up and send someone to chase the vampire monster, he has appeared again. Also, our little Marquis may also fall into the trap of the vampire monster." In hand...!"
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious." Qu Xiaocang said, "Second brother Duan, what's going on? Don't be anxious. What happened to the little Marquis?"
But Duan Canghai's eyes suddenly straightened, he stared behind Qu Xiaocang, then walked around behind Qu Xiaocang, stepped forward with a mixture of surprises: "Little Marquis, you... are you here? This is really great It's gone." There was a look of joy that couldn't be concealed in his eyes, and he took a long breath and said, "It's great that you are safe and sound."
Yang Ning saw Duan Canghai looking a little embarrassed and asked, "Why are you like this?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Duan Canghai's originally anxious and solemn face had relaxed. He looked around and saw several yamen from the Shenhou Mansion looking at him with extremely strange eyes. He immediately clasped his fists and said, "I guess so. Brothers from the Shenhou Mansion saved my young prince, and Duan Canghai would like to thank you all here."
Several people looked embarrassed and lowered their heads. Even Ximen Zhanying lowered his head and said nothing.
But Qu Xiaocang had already walked over, pretending to be surprised and said: "Second Master Duan, this... is this the Marquis of Jinyi?"
Duan Canghai smiled and said: "Yes, this is our little Marquis, Captain Qu. Your Shenhou Mansion is really powerful and you actually saved my little Marquis. That's right. Has the vampire monster been captured by you? I saw the corpse killed by a vampire in the alley. It was too horrible to look at. There were footprints of my little Marquis there. I thought the little Marquis was...!" But he didn't say anything further.
"Qu Xiaocang, Lieutenant of the Greedy Wolf School of the Hou Mansion, has met the Marquis!" Qu Xiaocang's expression calmed down and became very solemn, and he bowed deeply to Yang Ning respectfully.
Yang Ning knew that Qu Xiaocang had already guessed his identity before, so he didn't reveal it at this time. He smiled and said, "You're welcome, Captain Qu. There's no need to be so polite."
Qu Xiaocang turned his head and said to the other people with a cold face: "What are you doing standing still? This is the Marquis of Jinyi, why don't you come over to pay your respects."
Marquis Jinyi is one of the four hereditary marquises of Da Chu. The four marquises of Da Chu are more respected than ordinary marquises because they all made great contributions to the founding of Da Chu.
Although Marquis is just a title, in Dachu, these four Marquises represent more than just a simple title, but represent glory and majesty.
Although the Shenhou Ximen of the Shenhou Mansion was also granted the title of marquis, it was not a hereditary title, and the marquises themselves were divided into high and low levels. Although the Shenhou was considered a high-ranking candidate in the Great Chu, he was still slightly inferior to the four major marquises.
Although Qu Xiaocang is one of the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper in the Shenhou Mansion, he is only a school captain, and his status is far inferior to that of Yang Ning. Naturally, the others cannot be compared with Yang Ning.
The middle-aged yamen officer who acted very cautiously was the first to come up, knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully: "Junwu, the Criminal Marquis of the Shenhou Mansion, pays homage to the Marquis."
Seeing this, Chen Qi hurriedly came over and knelt down on one knee, "Chen Qi, criminal of the Shenhou Mansion, pays homage to the Marquis!"
Yang Ning didn't say anything. She looked at Ximen Zhanying and saw that Ximen Zhanying was biting her red lips and didn't come forward immediately. Yan Lingxian hesitated for a moment and finally walked over and knelt down on one knee: "Yan Lingxian, Lieutenant of the Po Military Academy of the Shenhou Mansion, pays homage to the Marquis!"
"Oh?" Yang Ning said with a smile: "It turns out that you are really one of the Beidou captains, the Pojun captain. This name is very majestic."
Yan Lingxian knew that he was going out to step on dog poop today and got into bad luck. He never imagined that he would catch the dignified Jinyi Hou by some strange combination of circumstances.
When Yang Ning reported his name earlier, several people thought that the name was the same as Jin Yihou, but who would have thought that this person was the real owner.
When Yan Lingxian saw Qu Xiaocang's abnormal attitude just now, he felt something fishy. Thinking of the other person's name, he felt uneasy in his heart. At this time, he was sure that this person was Jin Yihou, and his heart was already in the air. Thinking of his previous treatment of this little The Marquis looked fierce, and he really didn't know what would happen next.
If it were an ordinary marquis, Yan Lingxian wouldn't be too nervous, but the four great marquises of Da Chu are not ordinary dignitaries.
Yang Ning was teasing at this time, Yan Lingxian could only lower his head and dare not say another word.
Seeing that Ximen Zhanying had not moved yet, Qu Xiaocang frowned and said, "Little junior sister, why don't you come over and pay your respects!"
Ximen Zhanying had no choice but to come over. She did not kneel down, but just saluted and said, "Ximen Zhanying pays homage to the Marquis!"
"Zhan Ying, you haven't reported your identity yet, why don't you come and listen?" Yang Ning sat down again and said with a smile like an elder speaking to a junior: "Are you also a criminal in the Shenhou Mansion?"
Ximen Zhanying bit his lip and said nothing.
Qu Xiaocang had already smiled and said: "Returning to Master Hou, the little junior sister is the daughter of Shenhou, and also the only daughter of Shenhou. She was born and raised in Shenhou Mansion since she was a child. For the time being, she is only training, and she is regarded as a detective in Shenhou Mansion!"
"Investigation?"
Qu Xiaocang explained: "The Shenhou Mansion has four major departments, the Investigation Department, the Criminal Department, the Martial Arts Department and the Alchemy Department. The investigators are the officials of the Investigation Department."
Yang Ning nodded slightly and asked, "Is the Investigation Department responsible for arresting people?"
Qu Xiaocang knew that Yang Ning was about to settle the scores, so he could only say: "Normally, the Investigation Division is only responsible for intelligence tracking and collection, and is not directly involved in arresting people. However, under special circumstances, everyone in the Shenhou Mansion All officials are responsible for eradicating evil."
"So, is it a special situation to capture me tonight?" Yang Ning touched her nose and asked.
Duan Canghai's face was very relaxed when he saw that Yang Ning was safe and sound. When he heard Yang Ning's words, his face changed suddenly, his brows immediately furrowed, and he asked: "Arrest him? Mr. Hou, what's going on?"
"Yan Lingxian, please tell me what happened tonight." Yang Ning leaned on the chair, "My mouth is a little dry and my throat feels uncomfortable, so I can't say much."
Qu Xiaocang immediately said: "Chen Qi, why don't you go make tea for the Marquis? Use the best tea leaves, go quickly!"
Chen Qi immediately got up and ran away.
Yan Lingxian had sweat on his forehead and was about to cry but had no tears. He could only briefly recount what happened that night. By the end, his words were somewhat incoherent.
After hearing this, Duan Canghai sneered and asked: "So, your Shenhou Mansion has arrested the Marquis as a murderer and a bloodthirsty murderer?" He clenched his fists and said sternly: "You are so brave. ah."
Qu Xiaocang said helplessly: "Second Master Duan, please be patient. The two of them have made mistakes, and the Shenhou Mansion will definitely punish them severely."
"Qu Xiaowei, I, Duan Canghai, have always been in awe of your Shenhou Mansion, just because Ximen Shenhou knows everything and the people in Shenhou Mansion have always been shrewd and capable." Duan Canghai said in a cold voice: "Duan really didn't expect that, The Shenhou Mansion would actually do such a thing, could it be that you no longer care about the reputation of the Shenhou Mansion, so in order to solve the case, you can frame a good person?"
Ximen Zhanying had his head lowered all the time, but when he heard Duan Canghai's words, he suddenly raised his head and said, "It's true that he is the Marquis of Jinyi, but... But just because he is the Marquis of Jinyi, can't we suspect that he is a murderer?"
As soon as these words came out, there was a moment of silence in the room, but soon, Qu Xiaocang shouted sharply: "Zhan Ying, what are you talking about? Who said that the Marquis is a murderer?"
"Second Senior Brother, did you guess that he was Jin Yihou just now, that's why you were so polite to him?" Ximen Zhanying said stubbornly: "You only asked him one sentence, and then said that the trial was over, and you also said that he You can leave. You were not like this before. It’s not like the Shenhou Mansion has never arrested officials. Why didn’t you try the case properly when you knew he was Jinyihou? Could it be that... are you afraid of his power? "
Her cold and pretty face was full of unwillingness, and Yang Ning even saw her eye circles turning red.
Such a misunderstanding occurred tonight. Qu Xiaocang just hoped that he could make it a big deal and make peace with it as much as possible. But instead of helping, this little girl actually added fuel to the fire, which made him quite angry. He said in a deep voice: " Have you said enough? I don’t need you here, please step aside first.”
"I won't retreat." Ximen Zhanying stood up straight and raised his neck slightly, "Just because he is Jinyihou, we don't dare to try him. What happened to Jinyihou? Doesn't he make mistakes and break the law? He is also a human being. When there is a suspicion, we have to investigate. Didn't you say before that in the eyes of the Shenhou Mansion, there are no dignitaries or traffickers, only criminals and good people."
But Yang Ning became interested. This little girl has a stubborn temperament. Although she is a bit stubborn and her investigation skills are not very good, her character of not fearing the powerful is really admirable.
