Feng Zhang stood dumbfounded by the side of the street, dripping down in cold sweat.
Yue Ning raised her hand, "Young Master Qin, please get up—"
After Yue Ning finished speaking, Qin Wan stepped forward, "Fourth Brother, why are you here?"
Qin Ye smiled and glanced at Qin Wan, "I was on duty today, and I was patrolling the street next door. Feng Shizi came over and said that a murderer had beaten him."
Yue Ning sneered, "The murderer? Mr. Qin, I am the murderer, please ask Mr. Qin to take me, let's go to the yamen of the patrol camp to reason—"
Qin Ye's smile was half gone, and he glanced at Feng Zhang who was on the side. Feng Zhang was already stunned, he was angry and afraid at the same time, he had never seen this Mr. Feng in such a mess before, Qin Ye said, "Mr. Feng, what do you say?"
It was Feng Shizi who told them to catch the murderer, so Qin Ye naturally wanted to ask him, but when he asked this question, Feng Zhang smiled cleverly, "Hehehe, this is all a misunderstanding... It's all a misunderstanding... I recognized the wrong person..."
Qin Ye was amused in his heart, "Oh? Where did the injury on Feng Shizi's face come from?"
Feng Zhang became impatient, and looked at Qin Ye carefully, only then belatedly remembered that there was a Second Young Master from a concubine in the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion. It's like, a concubine has started to be an official, but his dignified son has been detained and disabled in the past few months!
Feng Zhang gritted his teeth, "My injury is someone else's, it has nothing to do with the princess..."
Qin Ye nodded, "Since that's the case, it's better for Mr. Feng not to pursue our patrol battalion's inaction in the future."
Feng Zhang laughed dryly again, "Of course not, of course not."
Feng Zhang was accompanied by only one servant, and he was shocked to see this scene. His son was always easy to cause trouble, but today he managed to provoke Yongning Princess! There is also Princess Yongci next to him, these two together, what good fruit does his own family have? !
Seeing that Feng Zhang didn't dare to catch her, Yue Ning smiled coldly, "Is Feng Shizi really not going to pursue it?"
Feng Zhang wiped away the nosebleed, "I don't know if it's the princess, otherwise today's misunderstanding would not have happened, hehehe, it's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding..."
Yue Ning raised her jaw, "Feng Shizi thinks it's a misunderstanding, but I don't think so."
After finishing speaking, Yue Ning turned and looked at Qin Wan, "Let's go, let's enter the palace and please go—"
The Zhongguo Duke's Mansion has long been notorious in Beijing because of Feng Lingsu. Yue Ning knew this as soon as she came back. Yue Ning didn't want to give Feng Zhang face at all. Seeing that Yue Ning had made up her mind, Qin Wan hurriedly nodded and turned around again. Looking at Meng Yao, "Meng Yao, you go home first, we will find you to buy paintings tomorrow, don't worry, we will be fine."
Meng Yao nodded. The identities of Qin Wan and Yue Ning are here, and now she is the two who want to punish Feng Zhang.
Ning Buyi looked at the few people with a sorry face, "Princess, today is all because of being subordinate..."
Qin Wan said in a low voice, "Ning, don't worry, Feng Zhang will definitely not dare to come to your place to make trouble after today's incident is over."
Ning Buyi hastily bowed, "Thank you Princess, thank you two Princesses."
After explaining a few words, Yue Ning pulled Qin Wan into the carriage. Seeing that the situation was not good, Feng Zhang quickly walked over to the carriage, "Princess, the two princesses, it was Feng who made a mistake today, and the two princesses have something to do." Lots of…”
Feng Zhang stood beside the carriage with a bruised nose and swollen face and shouted, but Yue Ning got in the carriage and dropped the curtain of the carriage, "Go, enter the palace!"
The carriage was moving slowly, Feng Zhang saw that it was not good, and hurriedly ran after the carriage, begging for mercy while running, but Yue Ning would not care about him, after running for a while, Feng Zhang was panting tiredly, coupled with the injury on his face , the whole person looked extraordinarily embarrassed, seeing the carriage go away, Feng Zhang panicked even more, "Quick! Go back home!"
The servant was also frightened, "My lord, what are you doing back home?!"
Feng Zhang closed his eyes and opened them again, "What are you doing?! Of course you are going back home to pretend to be sick!"
…
…
Feng Zhang's acts of rampant bullying soon spread to Chongzheng Hall.
Yuan Qing smiled wryly and said, "Feng Shizi is a bit out of line, he actually had such a break... Hey, the more important thing is that he hurt the princess, and the queen mother is very angry. What do you think should be done?"
Yan Huai frowned tightly, with a layer of deep anger floating on his face, "What a Feng Zhang, the last time he suffered at the hands of Yan Chi, it wasn't enough, but now he still doesn't make progress!"
Yuan Qing sighed, "I heard that Feng Shizi has been detained for the past six months, and it was only a few days ago that he was released. Who knew something would happen once he was released."
Yan Huai smiled coldly, "Go to the imperial concubine's place and tell her that Feng Zhang's temperament should be restrained! Next time if you let me know that Feng Zhang has messed up again outside, I will never forgive you lightly. !"
Yuan Qing knew that Yan Huai was really angry, so he responded, and hurriedly went to Feng Lingsu's palace to speak.
When Yuan Qing arrived at Changxin Palace, Yan Qi was also talking with Feng Lingsu.
After Yuan Qing pronounced the oral order, the complexions of Feng Lingsu and Yan Qi changed.
Feng Lingsu hated secretly in his heart, but was very respectful on his face. As soon as Yuan Qing left, Feng Lingsu scolded, "What a bastard Feng Zhang! He is the only one in the Duke's Mansion, but he can't help you at all." Don't say it, and always cause trouble for us!"
Yan Qi frowned and sat down, and said after a while, "My concubine sent someone to the Duke's mansion, so that he can stay in the mansion in the future, don't be ashamed, I'm busy with other things right now, I don't have time for him Clean up the mess."
Feng Lingsu nodded quickly, she believed in her son the most, "You said you were busy with other things, but the northwest side?"
Yan Qi nodded, but didn't intend to say too much, after all Feng Lingsu was just a harem woman, some things she knew would not only be of no use, but would actually hinder him.
Seeing that Yan Qi didn't say anything, Feng Lingsu also knew what he was thinking, "Suoxi's army is surrounded inside and out like iron barrels, then General Zheng can't get in for a long time, do you want to take advantage of this time?"
Yan Qi nodded noncommittally, "Mother and Concubine don't have to worry, I have my own rules."
Feng Lingsu sighed, "My concubine knows what you want. If we get the military power of the Shuoxi Army, we will not have to worry about major incidents. But this time it was the transshipment envoy on the Northwest Road who committed the crime with Shuoxi Army." It has nothing to do with me, I'm afraid Prince Rui will take the opportunity to clear our people out after checking over and over again."
Yan Qi smiled slightly when he heard the words, "This matter will not be settled so easily, Prince Rui has been in the Shuoxi army for too long, and he is good at fighting, but he forgot what the conspiracy in the capital is. Don't worry, Concubine Mu, I have already made arrangements, and when the time comes, I will naturally surprise Prince Rui."
…
…
Coming out of the palace, Qin Wan sent Yue Ning back to Anyang Marquis Mansion first. Princess Taichang and the Jiang family were furious when they saw Yue Ning was injured, and sent someone to the palace for another visit. Qin Wan accompanied Yue at the Marquis Mansion. Concentrating for a while, he left another prescription for removing the scar, thinking that there might be some news from Taoist Zhang today, so he left early and left for the magistrate's office.
Zheng Baishi was not in the yamen when Qin Wan arrived at the magistrate's yamen. When Zhan Yang heard that Qin Wan was here, he hurried out to receive him, took Qin Wan to the back hall, and said, "What can Daoist Zhang say today?"
Zhan Yang shook his head, "After I came back yesterday, I didn't sleep all night. There was a light on in the room. Today, the door was closed and did not open. I sent a servant to ask if I want food. Even the door was closed. It’s not on, and I don’t know what I’m doing.”
Daoist Zhang's weirdness is also known to Qin Wan, but maybe it is this kind of person who has his genius.
Qin Wan said, "Don't worry, as long as he can help, it doesn't matter how strange he is. It's okay for us to wait a day. What can we gain from today's arrest?"
Zhan Yang was the one who followed the case the most closely, but he sighed when he heard the words, "I went to the Zuixian Tower to check. After Hu Dequan went to the ice cellar as a guard, there were indeed two people who contacted him, but one of them was Hu Dequan’s fellow villagers saw that Hu Dequan was pitiful alone, and occasionally went to see him. There was another one who used to drink with Hu Dequan. Later, Hu Dequan worked as a guard in the ice cellar. Go see him."
"When we asked, the person said that many people knew about Hu Dequan's selling of his daughter. Hu Dequan once said it himself when he was drunk. Everyone knows that many people already hate Hu Dequan. I don’t feel ashamed, that person also wants to visit once in a while because of the fellowship.”
"We also checked his daughter Hongxiu's place. She really hated her father very much. She was sold to Fengqi Building and tried to escape. Once she ran out and found Hu Dequan, but Hu Dequan beat her up. After a while, she sent her back again. Since then, her heart has died, and she has started to learn skills. She only started receiving guests three years ago. Even if she is somewhat famous, she knows quite a lot about her, the bustard in Fengqi Tower, and some senior girls all know..."
"After running around for a whole day, I feel like I'm still clueless." Zhan Yang sighed, "These three cases have no superfluous similarities, and the identities of the three victims are quite different."
Qin Wan frowned tightly, always feeling that he had missed something, but couldn't remember it for a while.
Suddenly, Qin Wan said, "Didn't Miss Zhong be bought by Zhao Jiaxu in a brothel? Which brothel is Miss Zhong in?"
Having said that, Zhan Yang frowned and said, "It seems...it seems to be Fengqi Tower as well."
Qin Wan's heart trembled, "I remember that Wu Qian likes to drink flower wine. On the night of his accident, he seemed to have just drunk flower wine from Fengqi Building?"
Zhan Yang nodded, "Indeed..."
Qin Wan said, "So, these three cases are all related to Fengqi Tower!"
Zhan Yang thought about it, and it was indeed the case, Qin Wan said again, "We don't know how Zhao Jiaxu's matter was exposed, but it happened to involve a Miss Zhong who came out of Fengqilou, so the murderer came from this Miss Zhong?" Knowing something, or having noticed Zhao Jiaxu through Ms. Zhong, the murderer can't get to know the target through irrelevant channels. He may be a benefactor of Fengqilou, or a handyman of Fengqilou..."
Zhan Yang looked serious, "The subordinate understands what the princess said, so I will send someone to go to Fengqi Tower again to see who this Miss Zhong was acquainted with when she was in Fengqi Tower. Let's see which girl Wu Qian got close to when he was in Fengqi Tower."
Qin Wan nodded, "Anyway, I don't have a clue right now, so I can try this direction."
After speaking, Qin Wan glanced at the direction of the backyard. Since Taoist Zhang hadn't come out yet, she had no choice but to leave first. On the carriage back to the Marquis Mansion, Qin Wan was thinking about today's case, but Bai Ying said, "Miss, today Feng Will Zhang be punished?"
Qin Wan sighed, "Punishment is actually a little difficult, the emperor's side is mostly reprimand."
Bai Ying raised her eyebrows and didn't speak, Qin Wan said again, "But he's going to be a man with his tail between his legs, His Majesty's heart, he's got another bad debt, and he will never dare to go to the art gallery to provoke trouble gone."
Having said that, Qin Wan thought of Ning Buyi again. Feng Zhang said that Ning Buyi was wearing makeup. She didn't pay attention to it. Today, seeing Ning Buyi's face flushed and sweaty, it seems that she really saw the traces of makeup...
Although it is said that women often do makeup and powder, it does not mean that men can't do these things. Ning Buyi is a master of painting. The meaning of frivolity is really hateful, Qin Wan shook his head, and didn't think about today's affairs for a while.
Back at the Hou's Mansion, it was late, and because Qin Shuang and Xue Qingshan's marriage was approaching, the whole Hou's Mansion was refurbished. Qin Wan first went to the main courtyard to meet Mrs. Hu, and then went to Qin Shuang's place.
Qin Shuang's boudoir is full of things that will be used on the big wedding day, and in the inner room, the big red wedding dress has already been prepared and delivered. Qin Shuang pulled Qin Wan into the inner room and looked at it, her face was full of blush , "I tried it this afternoon, and it fits very well. I wanted you to come and see it, but you are not in the mansion, and now there is still a hijab missing. I still have a little bit left to finish the embroidery."
Seeing Qin Shuang's shy look, Qin Wan was also very happy. The two held hands and chatted together for a while before Qin Wan returned to Songfuyuan. Shuang picked out a few things to add makeup and just came out. As soon as she walked out the door of the warehouse, she heard the canary in the yard screaming non-stop.
Thinking that His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince had asked about the golden bird today, Qin Wan walked to the cage.
Seeing Qin Wan like this, Fu Ling took the bird food to feed Qin Wan, and smiled, "This sparrow is getting more and more noisy now, seeing that the spirit is getting better, miss, do you think it's noisy?"
The corners of Qin Wan's lips sank slightly. If it wasn't for His Highness Ninth Prince's bird, she would definitely not take the initiative to raise it. Although the chirping of birds is not interesting, she is a quiet person. She always goes out these days, If she is in the yard all day, the bird keeps chirping, which may indeed make her not used to it, "It's okay for now, but you can send it to the garden during the day. Now in the early summer, the garden is full of flowers. Want to come?" It'll have a little more fun with itself."
When Fu Ling heard this, she quickly responded with a smile.
In the early morning of the second day, seeing the clear weather, Fu Ling took the bird cage, water and bird food to the garden, and hung it on a lush green tree. The bird was really excited Chirping, this place is not far from Songfeng Courtyard, Fu Ling stared at it for a while and then went back to the courtyard. As soon as she left, Qin Chaoyu came into the flower garden with her back foot.
Mo Yi saw the bird cage hanging under the green tree at a glance, and frowned, "Why did the craftsman's bird hang here?! It's not too noisy to chirp."
Upon hearing this, the little girl in the back immediately said, "Sister Mo Yi, this is not a craftsman's bird, it is a bird raised by Miss Jiu, and I heard that it was brought back from the palace, it is very precious."
Mo Yi frowned, and fell silent with an unhappy expression.
The last time the prince reprimanded Qin Wan's own daughter, Mo Yi remembered this grudge.
Qin Chaoyu originally wanted to go out for a walk, but when she saw the bird cage, she certainly remembered that the golden bird seemed to belong to His Highness Ninth Prince. She narrowed her eyes and stared at the cage unkindly. She didn't like this sparrow, and was about to go forward, but Qin Chaoyu took a deep breath and turned around suddenly.
Mo Yi hurriedly said, "Miss, what are you doing—"
Qin Chaoyu walked back and forth without looking back, his good mood for visiting the garden was completely gone!
Mo Yi chased after two steps but failed to catch up, paused, turned her head to stare at the bird cage, the little girl didn't know what Mo Yi was going to do, so she stopped in fright, Mo Yi's eyes showed a bit of resentment , waved his hand to let the little girl leave first, while he himself was vigilantly paying attention to the movement around him.
Seeing no one around, Mo Yi walked briskly towards the bird cage.
