There is no point in talking without agreement. After hearing Bai Xiong's words, the smile on Qin Fen's face disappeared completely: "Commander Bai has now joined the imperial court and is rising in rank! What's there to say about this?"
Bai Xiong responded coldly: "Since Lord Qin knows this truth, why are you still wasting time talking to me?"
Qin Fen turned away, and only when he entered his room could he help but slam a pen holder.
At this moment, a chair hidden in the dark in the study room creaked, and a man raised his eyebrows slowly: "Why are you so angry? If I didn't know, I would think you were really mad about your wife and daughter."
That face was hidden in the shadows, but Qin Fen could imagine the expression on that face without even having to see it with his own eyes. He immediately became impatient and annoyed: "Don't talk to me in such a sarcastic tone! This idea was not yours! What else can you do with this idea except harming Su Rong? Su Rong is also an earl. He can't really lose his life for this matter, right? If that's the case, what's the point of going through so much trouble to frame him?"
The man slowly turned the pen in his hand, stared at him with a frown, blew on the tinder in his hand, lit the candle on the table, and finally revealed his full face. He leaned back in his chair and said, "What do you know? I know this can't do anything to him, but this trap was not set for him in the first place."
It's not for him, what does that mean
Qin Fen's mind raced. He rubbed his swollen eyes and asked impatiently, "What are you doing for? The whole city is their territory now. All the way from Kunming, Zhennan Prefecture and other places have fallen into their hands. The situation is hopeless."
After a pause, Qin Fen looked at the man's expression and gradually softened his tone: "Boss Ma, you know that we have put a lot of effort into your business over the years. This time, I did what you said and even sacrificed my wife and daughter. Isn't that enough? Just for the sake of my taking care of your business over the years, please get rid of me first! I am trembling with fear every day here."
There was a very long scar on the right side of Ma Lao Da's face, extending from the cheekbone to the neck, like a centipede lying on it. He smiled slightly, and the scar looked even more hideous and terrifying: "Tsk, why are you still anxious?" He finally looked Qin Fen in the eye: "Master Qin, why are you anxious? Look, I can still stay with you even when the city is broken, what are you afraid of?"
Qin Fen was in a state of irritability and couldn't help sneering in his heart when he heard this.
It's easy to say, what is there to be afraid of? Of course, he is afraid that Boss Ma will get out of control!
But Boss Ma was his only hope of escaping, and he didn't dare to offend him, so he had to ask humbly, "Boss Ma, you should tell me the truth, right? What do you want to do?"
Frame Su Rong, then what
Is that the end of it
Before Boss Ma could speak, the voice of Qin Fen's confidant Tian Bo suddenly rang out from outside: "Sir! Madam Mu is here. She said she wanted to come and see Madam..."
Madam Mu Si
When Qin Fen heard that it was Madam Mu Si, he immediately became even more irritated and said with a frown, "Just say that I'm in a bad mood and won't see guests!"
He rubbed his temple.
Boss Ma suddenly asked him, "Is Madam Mu very familiar with your wife?"
"We have arranged a marriage for our children." Qin Fen explained, and then said, "After hearing about this, I guess he wanted to come and take a look."
As he spoke, he felt even more headache: "What should I do?"
Boss Ma laughed immediately: "What should we do? Isn't this better? When you feel sleepy, someone will bring you a pillow. Naturally, let her come in and take a look!"
Qin Fen looked up at him puzzledly, and saw the scar on Boss Ma's face trembling. He looked like a hungry wolf, and said with shining eyes: "Please ask her to come in, and let her go to the mourning hall to see enough."
In fact, the incident happened suddenly, and the city is in chaos now, so where can there be a mourning hall
The so-called mourning hall is nothing more than Mrs. Qin's usual yard.
Qin Fen walked in with Madam Mu Si, looking sad and haggard, with his eyes so swollen that he could hardly open them: "I am useless. I can neither protect the chieftain nor my own daughter... This marriage can only be cancelled."
His voice was hoarse and he could barely speak louder.
Madam Mu Si sighed and said, "Master Qin, please accept my condolences. I was also shocked to hear that Yun Er was in trouble as well, so I decided to come and take a look."
As she spoke, she saw that the mourning hall was surrounded by soldiers, so she lowered her voice and asked, "What exactly is going on?! The imperial soldiers are supposed to be restrained. Nothing has happened in the city for so many days. Even in our Mu Mansion, there has been no trouble. How could something like this happen?"
Qin Fen's tone was filled with grief and indignation. He sneered as Boss Ma had told him to do before, "Yun'er is young and beautiful. She is considered beautiful even in Yunnan. I don't know how she showed up. I'm afraid she got herself killed because of it. It's all because I'm useless as a father. Things are different now. We are all fish on the chopping board. What can we do? We can only..."
As he spoke, tears began to fall.
The guards from the Mu Mansion who came with Madam Mu Si were all filled with righteous indignation. "This is outrageous! They keep saying that they treat us as Han Chinese and that we are all family from now on. But that's just nice talk!"
The others also nodded in agreement: "If they really treated us as human beings, how could they do such a thing worse than that of beasts?!"
"I heard that the mastermind was the Earl of Yongding. He was such a hasty man, yet he was not punished!"
"How could he be punished? I heard that His Highness highly values him. Some people say that he will be His Highness's brother-in-law in the future. How could His Highness lay hands on a brother-in-law?"
Everyone was talking one after another, becoming more and more angry. Qin Fen stood aside with a bitter face and didn't say a word.
However, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court could not help but shout, "What nonsense are you talking about? This is totally untrue. Our Lord would never do such a thing!"
The guards brought by Madam Mu Si immediately sneered: "If it wasn't your uncle who did it, then could it be a ghost? Now the person is dead, lying in the prison, and you want to clear yourselves with just a few words, then why don't you show us the evidence!"
The officials and soldiers of the imperial court were so angry that their faces changed.
