Fast Transmigration Female Supporting Partner: The sick and delicate villain is so clingy

Chapter 18 The correct way to open tasks (18)

In just two days, the Ling family came to visit.

Ling Qi laughed at herself, maybe there is no restaurant in the capital like her, where distinguished guests come to the door every now and then.

It's just that the attitude of the Ling family today is not as polite as that of the Zheng family.

It was lunch time, and there were many guests in the building. Ling Qi was still in the kitchen discussing the making of Noozi noodles. Suddenly, officers and soldiers came to the door, and all the guests in the lobby were invited out.

When Ling Qi came to the lobby, she saw Ling Rui sitting in the middle, and the steward standing aside respectfully.

A dozen officers and soldiers stood aside, the gate was closed, and the spectators who wanted to come outside were also dispersed.

The guys looked fierce, but they were also stopped by Uncle Wen and did not step forward to cause a conflict.

With flour still on his hands, Ling Qi wiped it casually, knowing the big row of noodles in front of him, he was neither humble nor overbearing, and went forward to salute, "What is the purpose of coming to the small shop, my lord?"

"I heard that Boss Ling is taking in Mr. Ling's old friend, so he specially came to pick him up." The steward stepped forward to explain.

pick up?Use this formation?

Ling Qi glanced at it from the corner of her eye, and it seemed that the news of the Zheng family's return without success was known to the Ling family, and now, in order to ensure safety, they directly use their power to suppress people.

It seems that the Ling family is really afraid of losing the in-laws of King Qing, which is ridiculous. Six years ago, King Qing tried hard to win over the Ling family, and the Ling family could still suppress the Zheng family and send their daughter to the position of princess.

Now, both the Ling family and the Zheng family are trying their best to keep their daughter's position and their relationship with King Qing.

King Qing has always only looked at benefits and not friendship, but now he has many followers, among the loyal courtiers there are not a few who are more useful than Ling Rui.

The current emperor is very old, obviously he has not lived for a few years, and he has only one son under his knees for so many years, which is the current prince.

The prince has been weak since he was a child, and has been ill all year round. The number of times he can come forward to participate in political discussions is very small.

The courtiers knew in their hearts that the crown prince would not be able to inherit the great cause in the future, and among the royal bloodlines, the most promising one was King Qing.

In recent years, the quarrels between the main and the main peace have divided the power in the court into two factions. Ling Rui is a civil servant, so he is naturally the main peace, but the side branches who are officials in the court are constantly being caught, and their power is gradually reduced. Now the Ling family has Not the past.

The emperor conferred high official positions on the military generals who performed meritorious service this time. Obviously, he wanted to support the main combat faction, and even wanted to leave military power to the prince, but King Qing would definitely not let the emperor do what he wanted.

At that time, in order to win over Jiang Yushu, Prince Qing would inevitably abandon the Ling family, and Ling Rui would not allow such a thing to happen.

"Lord Ling, I see that you look a little familiar."

Ling Rui's sudden sentence made Ling Rui startled, and sneered, "I thought I had some skills, so it's just friendship?"

As expected, Ling Qi was not disappointed, every time she was sent out mercilessly, there would be no father-daughter relationship, but she couldn't even recognize her.

In such a big capital city, in such a big Ling family, only Ling Yuan remembers her, what a joke.

Ling Qi didn't speak anymore, and Ling Rui didn't ask any more questions, and signaled the steward to do it.

The steward ordered people to go to the backyard. Not long after, the officers and soldiers only arrested Xiao Lian, "the old lady was not found."

Ling Rui's originally casual eyes instantly turned sharp, "It turns out that there is indeed some ability to hide people."

Ling Qi shook his head, "The grassroots don't understand what Master Ling means."

"My lord, my lord, the daughter of the people has been wronged..."

Xiaolian yelled all the way, and yelled at Ling Rui when she came in, no matter what it was, her true nature of greed for life and fear of death was undoubtedly revealed.

"Stubborn? Shanjianlou is suspected of a murder case, come here, and arrest everyone and go back to copy it."

Ling Rui gave an order, and all the people present were imprisoned. This method was much simpler than that of the Zheng family.

When changing the prison uniform, Ling Qi hesitated for a moment, "I am a woman, so I need to avoid changing clothes."

The buddy of Shanjian Building: Blindfolded? ? ?
The head of the prison was also stunned for a moment, but he had seen this scene before. He ordered someone to take Ling Qi to another room, and someone to inform Ling Rui.

At this time, when the steward heard that Ling Qi was a woman, he immediately remembered, "My lord, the missing Seventh Miss is Ling Qi. She and the Third Miss do look a bit alike."

"The old lady Jiang hasn't been found yet?" Ling Rui didn't care about this daughter, he cared about the future of the Ling family.

The steward shook his head regretfully, "There is no clue."

Ling Rui got up, "Go to the prison and ask my good daughter!"

*
Most of the prisons of the Ministry of Criminal Justice house prisoners involved in major cases, such as Ling Qi, which is rare.

"Miss Seven, they are all from my own family. This old slave advises you to tell your lord about the whereabouts of Mrs. Jiang."

As soon as Ling Rui led people into the prison, Ling Qi saw that proud posture. Even if the steward was persuading others, he was still aloof, just like his master.

"Miss Seven of the Ling family has died of illness. I don't think Master Ling will be willing to be accused of bullying the emperor. Please be careful in your words."

Sitting on the haystack in the prison, cross-legged, looking up at the two of them, Ling Qi suggested softly.

"However, from the looks of it, I can tell Lord Ling that Mrs. Jiang will never be in the hands of the Zheng family."

So, does Ling Qi know the old woman's threat to the Ling family?Ling Rui narrowed his eyes and looked at his daughter seriously.

Ling Yuan mentioned that it was the boss of Shanjian Building who reminded her out of good intentions, but Ling Rui felt that this daughter's eyes were full of ambition.

Among the many children, Ling Qi was the least existential in the past, but now he is indeed the most rebellious.

"Boss Ling, if you refuse to cooperate, don't blame me for torture."

Ling Rui looked indifferent, without any emotion on his face.

Playing with the straw in his hand, Ling Qi asked with a smile, "Master Ling, which case is the grassroots involved in? There should be a record of the crime, and there must be a charge. Master Liang is sure he can afford the consequences of indiscriminate punishment?"

Ling Rui signaled the steward to get the whip, but the steward hesitated, but after all, he did not go against the master's will and fetched the whip, whether there was still any dried blood on it.

The prison head opened the door, and Ling Rui asked Ling Qi to be dragged out. Unexpectedly, Ling Qi walked in front of Ling Rui in a graceful manner.

"Master Ling, do you know where I have been and what kind of friends I have in the past six years?"

Ling Rui was silent.

"Master Ling's questioning of Mrs. Jiang's whereabouts is only for Ling Yuan. If you torture me, you are not afraid that I will have Mrs. Jiang handed over to the Zheng family immediately? Is there really no backer behind the mountain stream building?"

Ling Rui clenched his whip tightly. He hadn't been threatened for a long time.

"It's not a stalemate at all. Jiang Yushu is a dutiful son. It's very important what Mrs. Jiang says, and I... can control all of this."

Ling Qi tilted her head, her eyes fell on the whip, "Master Ling, think carefully."

As soon as the words were finished, Ling Rui raised his whip, slashed across the air, and slammed Ling Qi fiercely, knocking her to the ground, "Bold and courageous, I admire you."

Another whip hit Ling Qi's back fiercely, and the whipped clothes left in an instant, leaving a deep bloodstain on the smooth and white back.

Ling Qi gritted her teeth, but the pain was too great, and she couldn't help snorting.
