The native nobles of the Mu Mansion all gathered in the Qin family's meeting room.
This scene is very rare. After all, it was not easy to gather so many people together in the past.
But this time, almost all the prominent families in the city have come, and everyone sitting in the meeting room can't help but have a lot of thoughts.
Originally, everyone was distracted by Qin Fen's family affairs, and they were also afraid that the court would say one thing and do another, and actually want to settle accounts with the natives. The reason why everyone came here this time was precisely to help Qin Fen get justice and to find out the court's attitude.
Who knew that they would encounter such a big thing as the assassin again when they arrived at the funeral hall.
If things were really as Qin Fen said before, that Su Rong insulted his wife and daughter, then everyone would inevitably doubt the credibility of the court. After all, they were all nobles among the natives, and they had been working for the Mu Mansion over the years.
Some time ago, he even went all out to oppose the imperial court.
If the imperial court treated Qin Fen's wife and daughter like this, it might treat their family files like this in the future. How could they tolerate this
But if there really were other assassins, then everyone would be even more worried, and they would have to think more - who would do such a thing to sow discord between Qin Fen and the court? What good would it do
At this moment, no one present could feel at ease, and everyone was waiting for the news in panic.
After sitting there absent-mindedly for a while, everyone was deep in thought when they suddenly heard a noise coming from outside, and vaguely heard someone saying something like "caught".
When they heard the noise outside, no one could sit still anymore. They rushed out one after another and squeezed into the corridor outside. They saw a large group of people escorting Qin Fen towards the mourning hall.
The head of the Yang family saw it at a glance and immediately quickened his pace to catch up.
The others didn't bother to talk and all rushed out of the mourning hall.
Seeing more and more people coming, the head of the Yang family took advantage of his familiarity with Bai Xiong and quickly squeezed to the front, asking curiously: "What happened? Did you catch the assassin?"
Bai Xiong was talking to the soldiers below at this time. When he heard the head of the Yang family asked this question, he nodded directly: "We caught him, but the assassin jumped into the valley. Now we don't know whether he is dead or alive. We have sent people to chase him."
Everyone was stunned.
Someone couldn't help but interrupt: "Isn't that a waste of effort? Who harmed Madam Qin and her daughter? Is there no conclusion to this matter?"
Bai Xiong raised the corner of his mouth in a sarcastic tone, looked coldly at Qin Fen who had obviously given up struggling with his head down, and said, "Yes, Lord Qin knows the origins of those assassins very well. It doesn't matter if one escapes, but I don't believe that all of them can escape. There must be some fish that slip through the net."
As he spoke, he smiled at Qin Fen and said, "Master Qin, how are you doing? Have you rested enough? If you have, why don't we go look for him?"
Qin Fen knew that his life and death were now in the hands of others. At this point, he could not say anything and could only respond dejectedly.
Who among the others didn't know Qin Fen's character very well? Seeing him speak so abnormally, they almost immediately realized that something was wrong, but they didn't dare to ask for a while. It wasn't until Qin Tiansheng came out that everyone felt even more strange. Qin Tiansheng was now Qin Fen's only son. Logically speaking, with such a thing happening in the family, he should be closer to his father. However, Qin Tiansheng treated Qin Fen like a stranger.
In this situation, even the most obtuse person would notice something was wrong. After a while, the head of the Yang family was the first to ask, "What's going on? What does catching the assassin have to do with Lord Qin?"
This is what everyone wanted to ask. When they heard that the Yang family had asked it, they all stared at Bai Xiong with sharp eyes.
Some people also deliberately looked at Qin Tiansheng's expression.
This matter seems a little too weird.
Commander Bai was too lazy to answer them. Instead, Cheng Cheng behind Commander Bai sneered, "Of course it's because only Lord Qin knows where these assassins are! Since Lord Qin is here, you can ask him directly if it was really our Lord who did these things!"
Wasn’t it Su Rong who did it
From what Cheng Cheng said...
Everyone was a little hesitant for a moment.
But then Madam Mu Si sighed, "Tian Sheng just said that he had seen the murderer clearly before and it was not Earl Yongding, but Lord Qin suppressed him and did not let him say anything. Instead, he insisted that it was Earl Yongding who did it. So it turns out to be true?"
What
Everyone was stunned by Mrs. Mu Si's words and felt that it was too unbelievable.
Qin Fen actually knew that the murderer was not Su Rong, but he still forced the child to say it was Su Rong
That... ..
Then Qin Fen...
Is Qin Fen crazy? He is so stupid. What is he trying to achieve
But Qin Fen was at the scene right now, and he didn't say a word. How could the people present not know that this was all true? They were all stunned for a moment.
Fortunately, someone came over soon and asked them to come over, saying that the prince had something to tell them.
Everyone calmed down and went out with complicated expressions on their faces.
When they all left, Madam Mu Si breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Qin Tiansheng with even more pity: "Good boy, your mother and sister will surely rest in peace."
She paused, then looked at Su Yao who had remained silent: "Miss Su, I wonder how you will... place Tiansheng?"
Su Yao came back to his senses and when he heard Madam Mu Si's question, he glanced at Qin Tiansheng.
Perhaps because he had experienced many changes, Qin Tiansheng was very different from other children. He seemed much quieter and more steady.
She thought about how this child was able to oppose his father for the sake of his mother and sister. Although it seemed simple to do so, being able to make such a decision was actually remarkable in itself. It also showed that this child was much more decisive, calm and rational than ordinary people.
She thought for a moment and asked Qin Tiansheng, "You are still young. Do you have any other relatives besides your father? Uncles, aunts, or uncles and aunts? If there are elders you think are reliable, we will entrust you to them. If you think no one is reliable, then if you are willing, you can learn something in school first, and then take over your family's business when you grow up."
School
Not only was Qin Tiansheng confused and shocked, but even Mrs. Mu Si found it strange. She asked Su Yao in confusion, "What school?"
They don’t have such a thing in their Mu Mansion.
Su Yao smiled and said, "It's a school run by the imperial court."
