Seeing people from the yamen coming over, the crowd dispersed and Qu Moying stopped. The lady gave a look to my nanny, who understood and went forward to deal with the matter.
Yudong followed suit.
Several yamen runners came over and held the man down, preparing to take him away.
"Excuse me, which government office are you from? Do you need these people to serve as witnesses? This man stabbed our young lady in the street, and I wonder why?" Yu Dong rushed forward before Wu Ma, saluted to the leader, and asked.
"We don't know about this yet. We'll know after we investigate." The leader was a middle-aged man in his thirties, who waved his hand impatiently.
"Sir, we are the family of Minister Qu." My nanny came forward and said with a smile.
"Even if they are the family members of the Minister's mansion, they cannot ask about the affairs of the yamen before the facts are investigated clearly." The middle-aged man said, turning around and leaving with his people, without even answering which yamen they were from.
"Sir, which government office are you from? You took the man away without saying a word and didn't explain clearly. Are you in cahoots with the assassin?" Yu Dong stepped forward and stopped the man, looking like an ignorant and spoiled maid. He put his hands on his waist and glared at him, not letting him pass.
After hearing what she said, everyone who was about to leave immediately stopped.
"We are from the Ministry of Justice. This man is very suspicious. Take him back for questioning. If there is any progress, we will naturally inform the Minister." The middle-aged man became more and more impatient. He was blocked by a maid, but what the maid said made sense. Even though there were some deviations in behavior, it could not be said that she was too wrong.
"So it's a lord from the Ministry of Justice. Then please make sure to find out who wants to assassinate our young lady. This is the first time our young lady has gone out to a banquet. Who is so intolerant of our young lady that he wants to use an assassin to kill her?" Yu Dong's hand loosened and fell, and he turned sideways to salute respectfully, mumbling.
He immediately changed his expression to one of respect.
"We will naturally check it out." The Ministry of Justice became more and more impatient. Who would want to talk more to a maid
"Then thank you for your help, sir." Yu Dong stepped aside and saw the approaching carriage from the corner of his eye. He was overjoyed!
The people from the Ministry of Justice led their men away. After walking a few steps, they suddenly saw two guards coming from the opposite side. When they saw the other party's cold and fierce eyes, they immediately stopped.
"Why is there such a commotion up ahead? Has it disturbed the Prince of Yun?" A guard came over first and looked at the minor official from the Ministry of Justice who was leading the group with a murderous look on his face.
The minor official followed the two guards' gaze and saw a large carriage parked in the middle of the road. It was so wide that it almost took up half of the official road. The curtain in front of the carriage was lifted, and he could vaguely see a lazy figure. He was so scared that he immediately lowered his head and dared not look again.
That’s the Prince of Yun. How could it be such a coincidence
"There was an assassination attempt just now." The minor official reported hurriedly.
"Who is the assassin?" the guard asked coldly, his eyes fell on the minor official with a gloomy look. Although the officials of the Ministry of Justice had a lot of experience, they were really no match for the guards of the Prince of Yun's mansion. It was heard that each of the guards around the Prince of Yun had killed many people, and even if they saw them in broad daylight, they felt an eerie aura.
What's more, this Prince of Yun is also in charge of the Western Prison and is a living devil.
"I heard that the assassin was a young lady. It might be a misunderstanding. It is impossible for such a young lady to provoke such a bandit." The minor official stuttered.
"Misunderstanding? You ask
"I have passed it, or do you know about this matter?" The guards of the Prince of Yun's Mansion were not so easy to talk to, and asked in a cold voice.
The official was so frightened that he fell to his knees and hastily explained, "I... I didn't do that. I just guessed it."
"Since it's just a guess, how can you believe it's true? Our prince has taken the person away and will send him to the Western Prison. He actually dared to assassinate a young lady from a noble family. This is outrageous. The noble families in the capital will be in panic from now on." The guard waved his hand, and another guard stepped forward, walked behind the man who was being pulled by the Ministry of Justice personnel, and hit him hard on the back of the neck.
The man who was still struggling fiercely suddenly fainted and fell to the ground from the hands of the Ministry of Justice personnel.
The guards came over and dragged him back by the collar like a dead dog.
The minor official from the Ministry of Justice had cold hands and feet and wanted to speak up to stop them, but when he looked up and saw the cold gaze of the guard in front of him, he immediately lowered his head and felt a chill on his back.
Forget it, he is just a bandit, nothing big. Even if he is not punished, he cannot escape with Prince Yun around.
We can't offend Prince Yun because of this matter!
That would be courting death, he didn't dare to do that, no matter how much money was offered. He had originally heard from someone that there was a notorious bandit, so he brought people here in the hope of catching him and making a contribution. Now that he has no merit, there is nothing he can do about it, he has no money, so he has no money.
Just go back and report to your superiors.
Qu Moying was there watching the situation from afar. He didn't know who it was for a moment because he was too far away. He just felt that the whole place was very quiet. The onlookers left if they could, and kept their heads down quietly if they couldn't. No one dared to talk nonsense. He took another look at the familiar figure and basically concluded that it was Pei Yuanjun.
Only this prince has such a strong evil spirit.
Very surprised!
But when she saw him taking the person away, her watery eyes turned slightly, and she turned around to help the lady walk towards the carriage in front.
The lady also saw Pei Yuanjun's carriage, and asked the Qu Mansion's carriage to pull over with the crowd and wait, while the carriage from the Prince of Yun's Mansion slowly came over.
He pulled Qu Moying's hand hard and pushed Qu Moying back.
The carriage slowly approached, and the originally crowded street suddenly became wide and quiet. Qu Moying followed behind the lady, lowered his head slightly, waiting for Pei Yuanjun's carriage to pass by.
The Prince of Yun's display of power was extraordinary.
"Madam Qu?" A lazy voice came from the carriage. Qu Moying looked up and saw that the carriage stopped in front of them. Pei Yuanjun in the carriage sat up lazily. There was a couch in the carriage. He had been half lying on it before, but now he sat up and looked at Madam Qu.
"Greetings, Prince Yun." Madam Qu bowed, and Qu Moying followed behind her and bowed sideways.
"No need to be so polite, Madam. You are too polite. I heard that someone just tried to assassinate you. I wonder which young lady in your family did it?" Pei Yuanjun raised his narrow, sleepy eyes and looked at Qu Moying.
"It's my little granddaughter." Mrs. Qu said with fear after she helped Qu Moying stand up with her hand.
"So the assassin is targeting Fourth Miss Qu. That's great!" Pei Yuanjun snorted coldly, pursed the corners of his thin lips slightly, waved his hand, leaned back lazily, and then the carriage moved forward, and the wheels rolled past the people in the Qu Mansion.
But he never asked anything else.
The lady looked at Pei Yuanjun's carriage going away, her brows furrowed tightly, as if thinking about something.
This doesn't sound like something that really feels good, so what does it mean
"Grandma, grandma, fourth sister, is fourth sister okay?" Qu Qiuyan's voice suddenly came over. Hearing her voice, the lady came back to her senses and turned around to look at Qu Qiuyan and Qu Xuexin who were running over. Their carriages were further behind. The two of them didn't see this scene just now, and only heard about it at this time.
"I'm fine. Grandma, please get in the carriage first!" Qu Moying nodded lightly to Qu Xuexin and helped the lady to walk towards the carriage in front.
"Fourth sister..." Qu Qiuyan wanted to say something, but saw that Qu Moying had already walked away. She stomped her feet in anger, and helplessly turned back to her carriage with Qu Xuexin.
The carriage in Qu Mansion, which was originally the one that Qu Moying was riding in, became empty and slowly followed the other two carriages in Qu Mansion and continued to go towards the Duke of Qi's Mansion.
No one in the Qu Mansion was hurt in what happened just now, so it was just a small matter. As for how someone could assassinate Qu Moying, everyone in the Qu Mansion thought that they might have made a mistake, as it was impossible for someone to assassinate Qu Moying.
Anyway, the assassin has been caught now, so we can investigate it clearly later.
In the carriage at the back, Qu Qiuyan's face had turned pale since she got on the carriage. Qu Xuexin looked at her several times and saw that she was still frowning and dazed. She said, "Third sister, what's wrong? Are you scared? It's okay. This matter has passed. The assassin has been caught, and fourth sister is not hurt."
"Who is that assassin, and why did he want to assassinate my fourth sister?" Qu Qiuyan asked thoughtfully, "Why did the Prince of Yun reach out, and what does this have to do with him?"
"Maybe he just happened to pass by. I heard that Prince Yun is also in charge of the prison." Qu Xuexin comforted Qu Qiuyan softly, thinking that she was frightened by what happened just now.
Who wouldn't be scared of such a thing? Young ladies from aristocratic families are weak by nature and have always stayed in seclusion. They have never seen such a thing before. Now it is happening right before their eyes. Qu Xuexin is also trying to keep herself alert. She is also terrified at this moment, but she is an older sister after all. Seeing that Qu Qiuyan is uneasy, she suppresses her panic and tries to persuade her.
But it seems that the effect is not great. Qu Qiuyan is still uneasy and looks very flustered.
The carriage in front passed all the way, and this time there were no more accidents. The carriage stopped steadily at the Duke of Qi's Mansion. A maid from the Duke of Qi's Mansion led the carriage of the Qu Mansion forward, and finally stopped in a parking yard.
After the carriage stopped, Qu Moying helped the lady dowager get off. Qu Qiuyan and Qu Xuexin also got off from the other carriage. Both of them looked not in good spirits and their faces were a little pale. They must have been frightened. Thinking of Qu Moying who almost got into trouble at that time, the lady dowager felt more distressed and reached out to hold Qu Moying's hand.
"Follow grandma for a while and don't go anywhere." The old lady warned. Although Qu Moying had comforted the old lady in the carriage, the old lady was still uneasy, fearing that something might happen to Qu Moying again by accident. After returning, she asked the second son to ask about this matter. How could someone assassinate Ying girl? Was it really just an accident
The lady didn’t quite believe it!
"Are you the lady from Minister Qu's house? Our madam invites you!" A maid came over, bowed to Madam Qu with a smile, and then said.
Madam Qu was stunned for a moment. She had never had much interaction with the extremely distinguished wife of the Duke of Qi. This time, the post was also retrieved by her second son with some effort. What did it mean that he specially sent someone to guard her now
