After the eldest sister of the wronged family was reborn, she created a whole family of ungrateful p

Qin Zhuo came out of Shen's house and got on the carriage directly. After the carriage left for a while, it quickly turned into an alley. The door in the alley opened and the carriage went straight in. This was a small house, not far from Shen's house.

The cold-faced butler Gu Jiu stood under the corridor with a knife in his hand. Five people were lying at his feet, motionless, and it was unknown whether they were dead or alive.

Qin Zhuo took a look and asked, "What did you find out?"

Gu Jiu shook his head: "He didn't say anything. He took poison."

Soon the boss came to the door, and it was Zhao Cheng who came in carrying someone, and the person was alive.

"Master, he is a soldier of the Han family."

Zhao Cheng lifted up his sleeves, where there was a totem that looked like a flower but not a flower, and a bird but not a bird. Having dealt with them for many years, Zhao Cheng recognized it at a glance as the totem of the Han family's assassins.

Qin Zhuo stared at the man with a cold gaze. He lowered his head and looked down on his face. He did not move at all when Zhao Cheng revealed his identity. He looked like he was resigned to his fate and waiting to die.

Qin Zhuo watched silently for a while, then raised his hand: "I'm in a good mood today, let's give him a quick death."

The assassin finally couldn't help but look up, shocked that Qin Zhuo wanted to kill him without even a trial.

As soon as Qin Zhuo finished speaking, Gu Jiudao arrived. His eyes suddenly widened. He did not die immediately, but he knew that he was doomed to die because the knife just now directly cut off his entire neck.

Cut the neck with one knife, kill without shedding blood, save the head but not the life.

Because Gu Jiu's knife was so fast, he clearly heard the answer he wanted to know while he was still conscious.

Qin Zhuo: "As usual, send the person to Prince Zhao's mansion."

"Yes."

Zhao Cheng answered subconsciously, but then he realized: "Master, why is it Prince Zhao's Mansion?"

Qin Zhuo seemed to laugh, but his laugh was cold and full of sarcasm: "The King of Zhao is getting anxious, shifting the blame to someone else and creating discord."

The assassin's pupils widened: How did he know?

Qin Zhuo came to the Shen family openly. Shen Ning felt that she might be in some trouble and was mentally prepared to deal with it, but how could Qin Zhuo let her face all this?

He would not be a shameful flower thief. He liked her so he had to be open and aboveboard. But he just had to be open and aboveboard about it. He didn't need anyone to publicize it for him.

Therefore, those who had ulterior motives and wanted to spy, follow, inquire and want to pass on information were all caught by the people he arranged in the dark.

Too many people in the capital wanted him dead and wanted to find his weakness. Everyone who should know that he accidentally saved Shen Ning's life knew about it. This was the first time a girl had gotten lucky in his hands, and they couldn't wait to test Shen Ning's influence in his eyes.

He couldn't stop these people from seeking death, and he was not afraid of having a few more lives on his hands. If they dared to come, he would take them.

------------

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, there was a grand lantern festival in the capital. The sun came out that day, a rare occasion, and Shen Ning finally decided to move out of her nest to get some fresh air.

As usual, I went to inspect the store first, check the annual revenue, and ask about restocking.

After going around in a circle, they finally went to Fuyunxuan. Although Shen Ning built this study for fun, since she had invested money in it, she would not let herself make a loss.

In addition to selling her own travel notes, she also collected a lot of folk travel notes and talks and had them copied and sold. At the same time, she encouraged people with literary talent to write their own stories or compile stories. As long as they did not involve court disputes and the content was interesting enough, she would accept them.

As for book sales, the only one that can make money now is her "Floating Clouds". It was a casual work, but it is inexplicably popular. The handwritten copies were sold out at high prices, and the rubbings are in short supply.

Because the book is a best-seller, the pens, ink, paper and inkstone in her store are selling well.

Moreover, the people invited to copy in Fuyunxuan were all candidates for this year's imperial examination. Although these people had no money, they were not without friends, which invisibly brought her a lot of popularity.

Shen Ning was shocked after looking at the account statements. The revenue was more than double what she had expected. It was truly an unexpected surprise.

She discussed the purchase of goods with the shopkeeper and then remembered that she had a future top scholar here.

"Where's Xue He? Why don't I see him?"

The shopkeeper was waiting for her to ask this question: "He was arrested and taken to Shuntian Prefecture."

Shen Ning raised his head in shock: "What's going on?"

How could he be arrested and taken to Shuntian Prefecture? The exam was to start on February 9th, how could he take the exam if he was arrested?

The shopkeeper frowned and sighed, "He was kind-hearted. Yesterday, when Uncle Niu, who was selling vegetables on the street, came out, he bumped into a man. That man was a notorious gangster in this area. After being bumped into by Uncle Niu, he got so angry that he smashed Uncle Niu's vegetable basket and kicked him a few times."

"A group of people avoided him, not daring to provoke him. Xue He passed by and saw him, and immediately rushed over to stop him. He accused and refuted him righteously, forcing him to leave. He did uphold justice, but he didn't know that the gangster was friends with the son of Minister Mei of the Ministry of Rites, and he didn't know how they convinced Uncle Niu. Yesterday evening, he took Uncle Niu to Shuntian Prefecture and sued Xue He for beating Uncle Niu. The injuries on Uncle Niu's body could not be faked, and then he was arrested by the people of Shuntian Prefecture."

The shopkeeper was not very enthusiastic, but Xue He was indeed wronged in this matter, and he had no ability to help Xue He. It seemed that the boss admired Xue He very much before, and it happened that the boss came again today, so he talked to her to see if there was any way to save him.

Shen Ning: "If it's really as you said, then Xue He is indeed right."

She knew his character. He could not stand filth, was aloof and proud, and self-righteous. Although he was full of literary talent, he was not tactful and only acted on his own courage and passion.

Don't say that this is a good character of hating evil and being upright. There is nothing wrong in helping others and in wanting to be an honest person, but there are thousands of ways to help others. When you are weak and incompetent, you insist on confronting others, and you can't win, and you get yourself involved, and you need others to save you. Then your so-called justice is no different from that of a clown.

What’s the point of reading so many books if you don’t know how to apply them?

Fortunately, Shen Ning already knew Xue He's character, so he wasn't too surprised when such a thing happened.

"You arrange for someone to find a few people who saw the incident that day. It would be best if you could persuade a few more people to come forward to testify. I will ask someone to go to the home of the Minister of Rites and Shuntian Prefecture."

The shopkeeper was pleasantly surprised when he heard this. The boss was worthy of being the boss. He acted very steadily from the beginning. Xue He was lucky to meet the boss.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

Shen Ning's move was not out of kindness, but she had not given up the title of top scholar yet. She was still waiting for Xue He to win the title and add glory to her Fuyunxuan.

But Xue He's character is not good. If he doesn't change, even if she rescues him, when he becomes the top scholar, he will probably go back to the same old path as in his previous life.

It is said that every failure makes one wiser. This person is not afraid of making stupid mistakes, as long as he can listen to advice and know how to adapt. The only thing to be afraid of is that no one can pull him back, which would be a disaster.
