The dispute between the two sides was about to break out. Seeing that the situation was not good, the officer who was left in charge of the team from the imperial court hurried out to reprimand the soldiers and glared at them in a warning: "The right and wrong will naturally be judged by the public. What are you arguing about here?"
If the situation continues, and both sides start to get angry and actually start fighting, things will be terrible.
There are already enough things going on now. If a fight breaks out, everyone will think that the officers and soldiers are bullying others by taking advantage of their power, and things will only get worse.
When someone came out to scold them, the officials and soldiers of the imperial court had no choice but to swallow their anger and say nothing more.
Qin Fen bowed and thanked the guards who had spoken. He had already reached the door of the main hall. He stopped and said bitterly, "Now it's me, Sheng'er, who is guarding inside. If something like this happens... ... I won't be able to face them again if I don't give them an explanation."
Madam Mu Si whispered a few words of comfort to him and went into the main room.
Because it was an unexpected death and the current situation was special, not many people could come to pay their respects. Madam Mu Si was one of the few. She reached out and picked up the incense, bowed respectfully, then squatted down to look at Qin Tiansheng, who was only seven or eight years old, and sighed slightly: "My child, I am in deep sorrow."
Qin Tiansheng was still young. He knelt on the mat with his head lowered and said nothing.
Qin Fen explained angrily, "The children were all scared silly. Damn it! If it weren't for the fact that I still have these children to worry about, I would have fought them to the death and demanded justice for them!"
Madam Mu Si stared at the two coffins with deep eyes and said softly, "Master Qin, don't be too impulsive. You also said that after all, you still have children to take care of. How can you really risk your life?" She sighed, "But if Yun Er and her mother and daughter are still alive, they will definitely feel comforted if they know that you miss them so much."
Somehow, Qin Fen felt a chill after hearing her words. He always felt that there was something wrong with the meaning of these words. But just as he was about to say more, there was suddenly a loud noise outside, as if there was some dispute.
He immediately strode out.
As soon as he reached the door, he saw his guards clashing with the imperial soldiers. He couldn't help but ask Tian Bo beside him: "What's going on?!"
Tian Bo came up immediately and said, "Sir, they are going too far. They insisted that they found someone sneaking around and wanted to search our house! Now they are even heading to your yard. We were so angry that we started quarreling."
What?!
Qin Fen's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Although everyone in their mansion had been arranged, Boss Ma's identity was still somewhat taboo. Even those court officials and soldiers had no idea who were his people and who were not. He was still not at ease, so he turned around and told Madam Mu Si, and without caring about anything else, he chased after him.
Suddenly, only Madam Mu Si and Qin Tiansheng were left in the main room.
Madam Mu Si glanced at the servants around her and said in a deep voice, "Tiansheng and I will be alone for a while. You have been serving for so long and it must be hard. Please go down first."
The servants were all a little hesitant.
But Madam Mu Si was, after all, the former chieftain's wife. Now that she had spoken like that, no one dared to say anything more. After hesitating for a moment, everyone retreated.
"Tiansheng, I remember Yun'er is six years older than you, right?" Madam Mu Si gently squatted down and looked at Qin Tiansheng who was silent, and sighed: "She is already fourteen years old, right?"
Qin Tiansheng's numb face finally showed some expression. He was silent for a moment and corrected himself: "My sister is thirteen years old."
"Ah, thirteen years old." Madam Mu Si touched Qin Tiansheng's head and saw him looking away with his eyes downcast. She said with regret, "It's such a pity. She was only thirteen years old and such a thing happened. She used to come to the Mu Mansion with your mother. I often heard her mention you. It's just a pity that she will never wake up again."
Qin Tiansheng blinked his eyes, and tears as big as beans fell on the back of his hand with a plop.
The brazier in front of him looked very annoying, so he suddenly stood up and kicked it over, and the half-burned paper money and ashes flew everywhere.
The dust is choking and uncomfortable.
Madam Mu Si looked at Qin Tiansheng seriously and said, "Child, do you want to seek justice for your sister and mother?"
Qin Tiansheng didn't speak for a moment.
After a long while, he said sullenly, "My sister was not killed by the officials and soldiers of the imperial court."
Madam Mu Si said "oh" and her eyes suddenly lit up: "What do you know, Tiansheng?"
She originally wanted to convince Qin Tiansheng, but now it seems that Qin Tiansheng himself seems to know something.
Qin Tiansheng immediately raised his head and stared at Madam Mu Si. His eyes were not like those of a seven or eight year old child, but rather like those of a wounded little leopard.
Madam Mu Si showed her utmost kindness: "I have no other intentions. You know, your mother and I are friends, and I like your sister very much. If you want to help them, why not tell me what you know, okay?"
Her voice was gentle and calm, with some pity. Qin Tiansheng looked at her with bright eyes, but did not speak.
At the same time, Qin Fen had already chased to his yard. As expected, he saw the group of soldiers trying to break into his yard. He was so shocked that he rushed over and said, "What are you going to do?!"
The soldiers stopped. The leader, a man named Cheng Cheng, heard him asking questions and seemed to be thinking about rushing in. He said confidently, "Just now, some brothers saw a few people sneaking outside the mourning hall and looking around. They said that people were coming this way, so we came to take a look."
Thinking that Boss Ma might have really sent someone to inquire about the situation, Qin Fen felt very guilty, but he sneered and said, "We are now surrounded by you inside and outside our house. You have already checked the people. Who is sneaking around? I don't think there is a ghost in my house, but you have bad intentions! Are you trying to take this opportunity to do something to us?!"
After he put such a high hat on them, Cheng Cheng and his companions had no choice but to retreat in embarrassment.
Qin Fen stared at their backs with a gloomy look. When they were gone, he whispered to Tian Bo, "Go, keep a close eye on them!"
Tian Bo agreed immediately.
Qin Fen continued to go towards the mourning hall. When he reached the gate of the yard, he suddenly saw several dark shadows rushing out from inside.
The speed was so fast that he couldn't help but be surprised. Before his brain could react, the other person had already reacted and shouted loudly: "Who is it?!"
He couldn't help but be startled again. Could it be Boss Ma's men
