Phoenix dwelling in Yanzhou

61

All eyes fell on Jing Sheng.

The "little ancestor" blushed, but still tried his best to pretend that nothing had happened. With a face of forced calm, he moved back two steps and hid himself behind Su Qian, silently thinking in his heart that he would never look at those weird things again. Strange words.

Looking at the person hiding behind her, Su Qian shook her head helplessly, smiling dotingly.

Beside, Shen Yue asked for instructions, how to deal with these people?

Su Qian turned her head back, looked down at the uninvited guests in the courtyard with a cold expression, and said only one sentence: "Send off to the official."

After all, she pulled Jing Sheng to go back to her room and continue to sleep.

It's not good for children to stay up late at night!

But just as he was about to cross the threshold, a voice suddenly came from behind, "Please stay!"

Su Qian didn't turn her head, but heard the girl's voice behind her, saying eagerly. "Dian...Miss Su, do you still remember, Yuzhou Qiangao'an!"

Su Qian's footsteps stopped, this person called her Miss Su, it seemed that he knew her identity, and, seeing what she wanted to call before, it should be "Your Highness", but when the words came to her lips, she turned around again. Ben is a clever one.

Su Qian turned her head and saw that in the courtyard downstairs, the slightly taller girl pulled the girl next to her to kneel down, and kowtowed heavily in Su Qian's direction, "The little girl's uncle, Qian Juan, is from the Su family. The student is a student of Mrs. Su, and I invite Miss Su to avenge my uncle!"

The summer night wind, with cicadas singing, passed through the courtyard.

The inn was terrifyingly quiet. The man in black who was pressed to the ground by the dead man was sweating on his forehead. It was obvious that he was in a panic.

That woman...is from the Su family? !

They had never dared to move money before, because that pedantic and sour Confucian was a disciple of the Su family!If it hadn't been for the sudden resignation of Mrs. Su half a year ago and returning to his hometown, and the fact that Qian Gau'an had recently insisted on pursuing Zicang, they wouldn't have...

"Qian Qi'an?" Jing Sheng heard this name, and suddenly remembered that she had heard it in the city today. "You're talking about the just-deceased county magistrate of Jicheng, Qian Ju'an?"

Today, she entered Jicheng with Ah Qian, but found that the city is full of plains. In Jicheng, whether it is the shops facing the street or the houses of the people, the common people hang white silk on the door of the memorial.

After inquiring, I found out that a few nights ago, a fire broke out in the yamen hall of the government office, and Qian Gau'an, the parent official in Jicheng who loved the people like a son, died in the fire.

"Yes, it's Father!" Hearing her father's name, the younger girl was already crying. She was Qian Ruxuan, Qian Ju'an's only daughter, and beside her was her cousin Yi Yan.

"But..." Jing Sheng remembered what she heard in the city today. "Didn't Prefect Qian die unexpectedly?"

"No! No..." Qian Ruxuan was crying, and she couldn't even speak clearly. "Father was..."

"Bring them to the room." Su Qian interrupted Qian Ruxuan, obviously not wanting some words to be heard by others.

"Yes!" Shen Yue took the order and gave the dead soldiers below a look.

The well-trained soldiers quickly tied up the men in black and pushed them up to the second floor.A guard also came forward and asked the two girls to go up to the second floor together.

The remaining dead men tidied up the messy courtyard.

But with the effort of a cup of tea, the messy yard just now has returned to its original appearance. If it weren't for the wet water on the ground, it would seem that the assassination just now had never happened.

Su Qian looked at the courtyard that had returned to normal, glanced at the guest rooms with closed doors and windows, and said, "Take care, and don't let any wind come out."

Shen Yue's heart skipped a beat.

The empress dowager seems to have noticed something?

And it seems... not a good thing!
