The heavy rain for more than a month has made the roads in Huichuan County all muddy, and the speed of the motorcade has been slowed down a lot. .
In front of the courtyard, many people from Huichuan County stretched their necks to look inside, and many people were talking about it.
"I heard that this is the residence of Prince Zhongshun, why would anyone still make trouble?"
"Prince Zhongshun is a great hero, and the court should treat him favorably. How can the younger generation be allowed to run wild in the palace?"
…
Qin Yining's carriage slowly approached, and the sound of the rolling wheels made the people turn their heads, and everyone held up umbrellas or hats to make way to the sides.
Qin Yining thought for a while, but did not get off immediately, but first wiped Yi Rong clean with a wet handkerchief, then took off the men's robe, and took the light pink brocade big-sleeved cloak that was spared on the carriage and put it on. He loosened her long hair for her, tied it into a bun loosely and fastened it with a silver hairpin, while Ji Yun took spare embroidered shoes and clogs to help Qin Yining change out the men's boots.
After tidying things up quickly, Ji Yun lifted the curtain of the car, got out of the carriage first, and brought a wooden bench for feet with an umbrella.
Qin Yining held Bingtang's hand, raised the curtain of the car with one hand, and leaned out.
It was the first time that the people of Huichuan County saw the appearance of Princess Zhongshun at such a close distance, and there was a moment of silence around them.
Qin Yining stepped on the clogs, and his footsteps made a slight crisp sound. Looking back at the people who were watching at the door, he nodded slightly. Bingtang and Jiyun supported Qin Yining with umbrellas from left to right and entered the courtyard.
The mansion was in a mess at this time. There were broken porcelain and benches everywhere on the ground. The potted plants under the porch were also overturned. The sorted courtyard has become dilapidated.
Many maids and young servants were covered in muddy water, and many others were covered in paint. They supported each other and said "Oh".
Qin Yining recognized that there were several Jinghu guards among them, and they were all injured.
Looking at the degree of their hanging of the lottery, they know that it must be bad.
Qin Yining pursed his lips, and became more and more certain that there was something wrong with this. The other party must have prepared for this kind of injury to Jinghuwei.
When I came to the main hall, I saw Xie Yue raised his arm and asked the servant to rub the medicinal wine on his arm.
"Mr. Xie is hurt?"
Seeing that Qin Yining was back, Xie Yue quickly put down his sleeves.
"Princess is back? I'm a minor injury, so it's not in the way." Xie Yue asked Qin Yining to take the seat with a solemn expression.
Qin Yining and Xie Yueqian yielded to their seats and asked with frowns, "Mr. Xie, what's going on today? Who is coming to our house to make trouble?"
"Hui Wangfei, you recognize the people who came today."
"I recognize?"
"Yes. I haven't noticed anything wrong with those people who broke in before. I explained it. This is the mansion newly purchased by the lord, but the other party is messing around and reporting the name of the Lu family. Only then did I know that the other party was sent by Mrs. Zhongyi Uncle."
"It's really her..." Xie Yue's words confirmed Qin Yining's guess, "She brought someone here to make trouble today? Did she show up? Or did she order someone else to come?"
"Mrs. Uncle Zhongyi didn't show up. It seems that the person who came here should not be under Uncle Zhongyi. I think it was from Uncle Zhongyi's family, because the people they brought from the rivers and lakes called that person Master Bian.
"He brought more than 20 people from all corners of the world, all of whom are highly skilled in martial arts. The few we left behind are not weak in kung fu, but they are outnumbered, and we have to take care of the safety of the family's maids and wives and eat them all. deficit."
"What are these people rushing in for?" Qin Yining frowned and pursed her lips tightly, suppressing her anger.
Xie Yue sighed: "Mrs. Yibo came to Huichuan County first to find a suitable house for Zhongyibo. She said that she just liked our house. I explained to them several times that this is the mansion purchased by the prince. The prince will come to Huichuan County soon to take office, but the other party refuses to listen, not only beats our family, but also smashes everything that can be smashed."
Xie Yue's tone was very heavy, and he was obviously on the verge of erupting in anger.
He has followed Pang Xiao to fight in the north and south for so many years, and he has seen many people and many things, but he has never seen such a domineering woman, bullying people to the door!
"Mrs. Uncle Zhongyi has done such a move. The old man believes that Uncle Zhongyi must have instructed him. It can also explain the difficult situation of the prince in the court and the opposition. Even a little Bian dares to ride on our necks and shit..."
"It's really good to be bullied by others, and Ma Shan to be ridden by others." Qin Yining pursed his lips, "Sister Bian can't even try to argue that she doesn't know this is the palace, she can gather so many martial arts masters, she is clearly trying to find fault with this. Uncle Zhongyi must have secretly instructed, otherwise Mrs. Uncle Zhongyi is newly married, and it is impossible to arrange to come to Huichuan County first. The letter from the prince did not say that Lu Heng also set off... Maybe Mrs. Uncle Zhongyi is here to replace Uncle Zhongyi works."
If it is said that Qin Yining had some friendship with Lu Heng in the past, after all, they shared the troubles of life and death. Later, because of Lu Heng's thoughts, Qin Yining began to reject him from thousands of miles away.
Now that he and Pang Xiao not only have different political views, but now they are still using such despicable methods, Qin Yining's little friendship with Lu Heng will be wiped out.
Xie Yue sighed, looked back at the people who had not left outside the gate, and said, "Princess, I'm afraid that the old man will lead someone to persuade the people outside and let them disperse."
Qin Yining nodded, "Okay, there is Mr. Lao Xie."
Xie Yue stood up and walked down the steps while holding his waist.
After all, he is old. Today, someone injured his arm and fell again. After walking a few steps, his leg hurts.
Those Jinghuwei, who often dealt with Xie Yue in the army, were already furious when they saw this. Tang Xiu and others followed Xie Yue angrily, ignoring that they were soaked by the rain. It seemed that this would quench the anger in their hearts.
On a rainy day, an old man walked tremblingly ahead, and the maids and wives in the yard were still cleaning up the mess in the yard in the rain. All the people were covered with mud, and the hair on their faces was covered with rain and stains, making them look particularly miserable.
The people watching in front of the gate couldn't help shaking their heads and sighing when they saw it.
Xie Yue came to the door and cupped his hands, "Everyone, fellow villagers and elders, the old man is the steward of the palace, look at the man, we have been attacked by bandits in our palace, and the rain is still so heavy, except for the women and children in the palace. The wounded, it’s not easy to entertain you. Fathers and fellow villagers, please come back. It will also prevent you from getting caught in the rain and being blown by the cold wind.”
Xie Yue is old-fashioned, but his eyes are full of kindness. What he said was helpless and pitiful, and he didn't have the arrogance of the housekeeper of the palace.
After watching the crowd for so long, they had a good impression of the people in the palace, and they knew that even the servants of the Prince Zhongshun were very reasonable.
What's more, something happened to their house today, and it's not good for them to block the door to watch the fun.
"What the old man said is. The big guys are gone, and don't block the gate of the palace."
"Yes, the old man will take care of him for a long time."
…
The people sighed and dispersed.
Although they are all gone. But when something like this happened in front of the palace gate, the news spread quickly.
Tang Xiu and Jinghuwei had already picked up the guy and lined up in front of the main house.
"Princess, the Lu family is too deceiving! As long as the princess said a word, we immediately went to copy his house!"
"Yes, Princess! While we are not in the mansion, these people are so presumptuous!"
"That group of people has no sense of the king's law, and they don't even take the prince in their eyes. Princess, please tell me! As long as you speak, even if I fight my life, I will get justice!"
…
They are all warm-blooded men from the army. The princes they have always worshiped as gods have been treated harshly by the saints in the capital, as if they were going to be trampled in the mud. Unexpectedly, they came to a small Huichuan County. The magistrates who are in office dare to act like this, how can they endure it
Qin Yining walked to the door, pushed away Ji Yun's hand holding an umbrella for him, and let the rain fall on his face.
She was just as angry. The Lu family had gone too far.
But after calming down, she had to act cautiously. These people are all Pang Xiao's confidants, loyal and Pang Xiao's guards, they are all living beings, and any of her decisions are related to the The life and death of these people, she can't let them risk it.
Thinking of this, Qin Yining raised his hand and said: "I have my own discretion on this matter, we can't act recklessly. You go to bathe and change clothes first, eat some ginger soup to warm your body, don't cause the cold, and wait until I think about the countermeasure. , and there is a time to trouble you all.”
"Princess..."
"Also please listen to my arrangements."
Seeing that Qin Yining insisted on doing this, Tang Xiu turned around and arranged for everyone to follow her instructions.
Everyone's heart was full of anger and could not vent.
At the same time, in a mansion next to the Yamen in Huichuan County, Bian Ruohan was reclining on the couch of the imperial concubine to let her maid dye her nails. She heard footsteps outside and immediately sat up.
"How about it?"
The person who came was named Bian Tong, a distant relative of Bian Ruohan's mother's family. In terms of clan, Bian Ruohan would call him uncle.
However, Bian Tong's family has long been lonely, and Bian Ruohan married a good family again. She maintains her identity, so she doesn't call her relatives, she just calls and drinks, and sometimes calls her by name. Bian Tong doesn't care about Bian Ruohan, but instead Acted very flattering.
"Ma'am, the matter has been done. It really was the house owned by Princess Zhongshun." Bian Tong said with a smile, "Madam has made good preparations. I went with the martial arts master we hired and hit him straight. One was caught off guard."
