"Wang... Young Master, here we are." Outside the carriage was the driver left by Pang Xiao. He was upright and quick-mouthed. He almost used to address the princess. Fortunately, he reacted immediately and changed his name in time.
Qin Yining lifted the curtain of the car and joked as he got out of the car: "The name Wang Gongzi sounds good."
The driver blushed with shame and bowed to Qin Yining.
Qin Yining smiled and waved his hand. He didn't mean to blame at all, but the originally tense atmosphere was relieved a lot by Qin Yining's joke. Even the shopkeeper Zhong Da felt that the impetuousness in his heart disappeared.
Shopkeeper Zhong Da and Jing Zhe followed Qin Yining from left to right, and the three walked towards the door of Zheng Ji Bu Zhuang together.
The door was closed, and only the white lanterns hanging high could be seen.
Walking along the courtyard wall on the side of the store to the backyard, you can see the spiritual flags in the courtyard that are higher than the wall and show a corner.
There was a smell of burning paper money in the air.
In the quiet alley, the woman's suppressed sobbing could be vaguely heard.
Qin Yining closed her eyes, her heart became heavy again, and she turned her head to look at shopkeeper Zhong Da.
Shopkeeper Zhong Da immediately stepped forward and knocked on the door knowingly.
After the door of the backyard was knocked, the courtyard was immediately quiet for a moment, and then there was footsteps walking in, and an old woman's voice rose a little and asked, "Who is it!"
"We are here to see the shopkeeper of your shop." Zhongda shopkeeper answered loudly.
The old woman said "wait a minute" and walked away.
But for a moment, the backyard door was pushed open, and the two elderly servants stood on the left and right, and then walked out of a beautiful woman in the age of flowers.
The woman was dressed in plain clothes, with silver ornaments and white silk flowers on her head, and a white cloth strap tied around her waist. Her eyes were red, and she looked quite handsome.
Xu Shi was stunned when she saw three men standing outside the door.
Qin Yining stepped forward and cupped his hands, "Are you the shopkeeper here?"
Qin Yining's appearance after dressing up is a femininity and handsome young man. She deliberately lowered her voice, which seemed to be the voice of a young man and woman, and she didn't bind her feet, and her manners were free and easy, so she couldn't see any flaws at all.
The woman seemed to be a little more guarded, and politely said: "The slave family is the shopkeeper of the small shop. It's just that something happened in the slave family, and they don't do business for a few days. If this son has anything, please come back in the future. ."
Qin Yining nodded, crossed the woman's shoulder, and saw that the yard was pale.
The woman frowned slightly in displeasure. Based on the principle of being a businessman and making money from anger, she did not scold Qin Yining for being rude on the spot, but said displeasedly, "This son, please come back."
Qin Yining then said softly in her original voice, "My grandmother is Mrs. Dingguo's wife."
The woman was stunned for a moment, then looked Qin Yining up and down in astonishment: "You..."
Qin Yining turned around and took a delicate mahogany carved box from Jing Zhe and handed it to the woman.
The woman looked up at Qin Yining suspiciously, and then lowered her head to open the box.
Inside the black velvet shop, there is a gold seal on it, and there is a booklet next to it.
This is the golden book treasure when Qin Yining canonized Princess Zhongshun. It is impossible to fake it just by looking at the material and workmanship.
Qin Yining whispered, "The granddaughter of Mrs. Dingguo is Prince Zhongshun, the shopkeeper must know."
The woman came back to her senses, nodded hastily, turned sideways to make way, invited Qin Yining and his party into the courtyard, and then carefully closed the courtyard door.
Qin Yining looked at the mourning hall arranged in the courtyard, one of which was a black lacquer coffin, her hands and feet were cold, and after a long while she said dryly: "Did something happen to my grandmother? Isn't she supposed to be in the south, why is she in the old capital? What exactly is going on?"
While speaking, Qin Yining staggered towards the black lacquer coffin.
She was frightened and afraid in her heart. Although she resisted, she wanted to see if her grandmother had really passed away.
Who knew that as soon as he got closer, he clearly saw that the coffin was empty.
"Princess, Mrs. Zheng hasn't died yet, but she is in danger."
Qin Yining hurriedly turned around, "What the hell is going on?"
"The little girl's surname is Ma. When the old lady ordered me to come to Zhengji Buzhuang, she had already instructed her. If her granddaughter, Princess Zhongshun, Princess Qin, comes to contact Buzhuang one day, if there is any order, I must fully cooperate. Send a message to the old lady.
"As soon as the news that Prince Zhongshun has been appointed as the Grand Marshal of Pingnan and will bring his family to the post came, the old lady immediately came to the old capital in person. Because I was worried that you and the prince had been away from the old capital for too long, some paths would be impossible to get here. .That's why I came early to play a pioneer."
Qin Yining was moved.
Where is grandma worried that they can't get out of the way? She clearly understood the situation of Pang Xiao and her, for fear that Pang Xiao, the person who killed Dayan in the first place, would not be able to eat it when he arrived at the Yan Dynasty's territory. This was considering everything for them.
Qin Yining thought, and her eyes became a little wet.
Ma continued: "Everything was fine originally, but who would have imagined that the old lady was caught by someone outside just two days after she settled in Buzhuang. People were arrested for no reason. The old lady and the envoy Gao Dian fought hard on the grounds, but it was really a scholar who met a soldier, and the reason was unclear.
"In desperation, the old lady ordered me before going out, saying that she will prepare a mourning hall for her here. She has absolutely no plans to go, and 80% will not come back. When the mourning hall is prepared, she Just go fast."
Qin Yining listened to the tears rustling down.
Ma didn't say it carefully enough, but she knew Mrs. Dingguo's temperament and could guess one or two.
Ma Shi must have stood proudly in the garden and fought without fear. After arguing, he was proudly prepared to die generously.
"Why don't you come to me for such a big thing?" Qin Yining's voice was a little sharp.
Ma Shi waved his hands again and again, "It's not that I didn't look for it, but the old lady ordered it. If you don't come here to find it in person, we are absolutely not allowed to take the initiative to find you."
Qin Yining closed his eyes, and his heart felt wet and cold.
Grandma is not going to implicate her.
Shopkeeper Zhong Da also had a heavy expression on his face, and he almost burst into tears.
Qin Yining gritted his teeth and said for a while, "How sooner or later did you take it away? What else did the yamen say?"
"It's been a day and a night. The yamen didn't say anything, except that the old lady was suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason. She just arrested people. We used money and found relationships, it didn't work, the yamen didn't love this time. Rich, it seems that he wants the old lady's life with all his heart!"
Ma was sobbing, suddenly knelt down, hugged Qin Yining's leg and pleaded, "Please save your life, save the old lady!
