Jing Zhe could feel Qin Yining's nervousness and worry.
His heart was warm.
Although these people are doing business with their lives, in the Dayan Dynasty, the emperor used them to do things without considering their life and death, only to see if they could complete the task.
Now that they met Qin Yining, they realized that there would also be a master who would consider their life and death. Didn't you see that Qin Yining offered to enter the palace for his safety
These people are used to being spies, and even if they have changed careers to become guards, they can't help but pay attention to some movements in the courtroom. They know how difficult Qin Huaiyuan's situation is now.
Qin Yining was able to stand up to protect them. If he couldn't come out and admit his guilt, would he want their young lady to stand up? By that time, wouldn't her reputation outside be even more irreparable!
Thinking of this, Jing Zhe firmed his mind, and his heart was full of pride. Even if he was about to be beheaded, he did not regret the act of protecting the master today.
Jing Zhe thought about it a lot, but it was actually just a breath.
Seeing that he was only silent, Qin Yining couldn't help but become more anxious, and insisted: "Director Li, the right and wrong of today's matter is to be determined by itself, Jing Zhe is the guard I invited with money, and the crisis suddenly arises, what is there for him to be loyal to the Lord? Wrong? What's more, he didn't hurt anyone, he killed a horse. If the sage ordered the people involved in this matter to enter the palace, I should be the one who entered the palace to make a petition."
Although Li Guanwen was a little embarrassed by what Qin Yining said. But in his heart, he admired her for her loyalty, and secretly envied Jing Zhe for having such a master who was willing to protect his servants.
Not only Li Guanwen, but everyone who followed Qin Yining felt this way.
Even the second generation ancestors who had been clamoring for a while were quiet for a while.
Li Guanwen cleared his throat and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Qin, this is the meaning of the sage, and slaves can't go against it." Then he instructed people to bring Jingzhe, and said goodbye to Master Zheng, and then went with Cheng Shangshu. left.
Qin Yining sent the person out of the door before returning with a worried frown.
Seeing that the matter eased a little, Master Zheng felt a sigh of relief, "Miss Qin, today's matter is almost resolved, and you can go back."
The voice fell, and before Qin Yining could answer, the second ancestors shouted: "Why tell her to go first? We are the victims, and we should go first if we want to go!"
At this time, the soldiers and horses brought by the Minister of War had already retreated, the soldiers and horses of the five cities had returned to safety, and the sage had already intervened in this matter. Master Zheng knew that he could only follow the previous choice and stand firm in the future. The Holy One is right here.
Qin Huaiyuan was the mainstay of the Holy Sect, so he naturally had to protect Qin Yining more, and she was still a girl.
Thinking of this, Mr. Zheng sank his face and said, "What happened today is very clear, you are waiting for the horse first, there are countless witnesses, do you still want to deny it at this time? Miss Qin has been in the carriage from beginning to end. If you say that the servants of Miss Qin's family are at fault, the chief manager Li has already taken them away. You people can't escape even on horses, do you still want to deny them now? "
Seeing that Master Zheng suddenly became tough, the second ancestors panicked.
Qin Yining glanced at Lord Zheng, and naturally understood the reason why his attitude suddenly became clear, so he smiled and said, "Thank you, Lord Zheng. It's just that my people are brought into the palace now, how can I rest assured? I think no matter what the outcome is, yours will be yours. The yamen must have got the news first. Please allow me to wait here, Lord Zheng.”
When Lord Zheng heard the words, he did not feel that her request was exceeded.
Qin Yining's attitude is so sincere, and she is dedicated to protecting her servants. Whether it is her etiquette or her starting point, it is admirable.
Therefore, Mr. Zheng did not object, and said with a smile: "I'm just afraid that this place is so simple that Miss Qin will not be used to it."
"Where is it. Master Zheng, you are too polite."
The two exchanged a few words, and Qin Yining sat down again.
The second generation ancestors looked at each other in dismay, thinking to wait for Cheng Shangshu to enter the palace, and then see how your Qin family died.
Therefore, a group of people spoke and chatted with great confidence, and they also freely asked for tea and snacks.
Master Zheng was a little annoyed when he saw that this group of people had no self-awareness. But because of the identity of these people, he didn't want to be guilty, so he had to order people to prepare refreshments.
Wait, it's afternoon. There was no news from the palace. Instead, the family and fathers of these second-generation ancestors came to the door in person and took Master Zheng out to make a good request, hoping to bring them back.
Master Zheng had long been hurt by the arguing of these second-generation ancestors, so he went along with the flow and agreed to the requests of these adults, but only asked these people not to leave the capital at will, and to be available on call.
In this way, Master Zheng has also won countless thanks.
Qin Yining just looked at the court officials, smiled and finished talking to Master Zheng, and immediately changed his face when he entered the room. Those who had a bad temper beat up their son on the spot, and took him away while scolding.
There are some who come in and see her with a very alienated and contemptuous attitude, and there are some who are polite when they see her.
Qin Yining secretly recorded the appearances of these people, so that he could analyze who these people belonged to the imperialist faction and who were the other people.
As for those second-generation ancestors who were picked up by their father and grandfather one after another, Qin Yining could already guess that they must have the fate of eating family methods when they returned home.
After all, the situation in the courtroom is now tense.
As a court official, you must stand in the right position to have a good future.
These fathers deliberately chose either the royalist faction, or the faction that left old ministers and aristocratic families, but no matter how they choose, it is the result of their careful deliberation.
Unexpectedly, before things were mature, their lineup and layout were broken by their own sons of the Bai family.
Qin Yining couldn't help laughing, and his dull mood was finally entertained by these people.
Qin Yining asked Bingtang to go home first with even the porridge.
"You go back to the old lady and mother to understand. You don't have to be too detailed, just say that I have something to do with the yamen side, and I may go back when, please don't worry. If my mother asks more details, you also pay attention to it. Let's talk about the details, otherwise I'm afraid that the guards at home will not be able to do things well in front of my mother in the future."
Qin Yining knew best what his mother's temperament was. She was afraid that the Sun family was eager to protect her daughter and would embarrass the spy and Cao Yuqing who stayed at home.
Bingtang also knew that Qin Yining had something to do right now, so it was inconvenient to take her and Lian Xiaozhu, so she nodded and left first.
Qin Yining was left with Ji Yun and Xiao Man and other three people to accompany him.
During the waiting period, Mr. Zheng did not neglect and ordered people to send food and drinks. The time had passed, and there was no news from the palace, and Qin Yining did not intend to leave. He also specially prepared a guest room for Qin Yining to stay overnight.
Qin Yining was worried about the disposal in the palace, where did he fall asleep again? He thanked Master Zheng, but still waited in place.
Master Zheng admired this little woman even more for her love and righteousness. He didn't force it, he just left Qin Yining.
Xiaoman and the other three were more loyal to Qin Yining than before.
It can be said that what bound them in the past was the relationship of interest, and it was money that made them act as guards. But now, the bond between them is not just money, but affection. As guards, who do they give their lives to, not sell? It is their luck to meet a master who treats them as human beings and cares about their safety.
Qin Yining waited here all night. I was so tired that I just closed my eyes and fell asleep for a while.
In this way, when the next day came to the third pole, news finally came from the palace.
Master Zheng entered the door with a smile, cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, the sage has made a clear decision, this matter has nothing to do with Miss Qin, but the subordinates who committed the crime and injured the son of Cheng Shangshu. The sage will only punish your guard to ask for the beheading on another day. , the rest will not be pursued, and Cheng Shangshu is not allowed to pursue further investigations, Miss Qin, you are safe."
Every time Mr. Zheng said a word, Qin Yining's heart was a little colder. In the end, it was like falling into an ice cave.
Jing Zhe will be sentenced to choose a day to be executed!
Faint Lord! Faint Lord!
Qin Yining's heart was roaring, but on the face he tried his best not to say unpleasant words. Instead, he forced himself to calm down and asked, "Master Zheng, do you think my bodyguard was beheaded by the sage's judgment on another day?"
"Exactly. But a servant, the girl doesn't have to take it too seriously." Master Zheng admired Qin Yining's righteousness, so he didn't mind saying more: "The current situation is already the result of the balance of power among all parties, only Losing a servant can maintain this balance, which is a good thing for Miss Qin's father."
Qin Yining certainly knew that what Mr. Zheng said was right.
But how can she swallow this breath, how can she tolerate that her own stability is based on the sacrifice of others
She knows that people are divided into three, six, nine, and nine, and there are distinctions between high and low, but her experience growing up since she was a child has made her never look down on any subordinates. The servant is also a human being and was raised by her parents. Could it be that her life is more noble than that of others
Qin Yining stayed up all night. At this moment, her face was pale and her eyes were black. In addition, this thunderbolt made her eyes black. For a while, his mind was like a mess, and he wanted to save Jing Zhe, but he couldn't think of a way.
Just as Mr. Zheng asked with concern, someone came to reply, "Sir, the Ministry of Rites Qin Shangshu is here."
"Come in quickly."
Master Zheng immediately went out to greet him.
Qin Huaiyuan was still wearing the official uniform he used to go to court yesterday, his face was also very tired, and it seemed that he hadn't slept well all night.
Qin Yining salutes Qin Huaiyuan.
Qin Huaiyuan smiled and said, "Sister Yi, go back with my father."
Qin Yining's lips trembled, and just as he was about to speak, Qin Huaiyuan said, "You have been out all night, so you should go back and have a good rest." Then she said to Lord Zheng, "Brother Zheng, I'm really bothering you. Brother, take care of the little girl."
"Wherever it is, it's all my own." Master Zheng smiled politely.
Qin Yining felt that it was useless to stay longer, so he had to follow Qin Huaiyuan into the carriage.
