Chapter 1872 Stop and fight 30
Uncle He was left standing there with a smile: "Master, do you want to go and have a look?"
I heard screams one after another outside, both of them were being tortured. Black Tiger Village was full of talents, and there was not only one person who could interrogate.
Thinking of that scene, I was sure that I would have a psychological shadow after watching it. Mu Hanqing said: "Leave it all to the brothers of the Black Tiger Army."
Uncle He raised his eyebrows. At this time, someone outside came over and said that the courtyard where the prince lived was ready. Uncle He accompanied him there in person.
Mu Hanqing followed Uncle He, while Liang Cheng was injured and was carried over in a simple sedan chair. A simple sedan chair is a chair fixed with two bamboo poles, with a person sitting in the middle.
Uncle He was walking in front, muttering to himself: "What the hell is this? A good bandit shouldn't have to pay taxes every year. The leader of the village only received a few taels of silver from the robbery, but he had to save people, protect them, and interrogate them. What a loss.”
Mu Hanqing choked for a moment, but there was nothing wrong with him. He only had ten taels of silver today. Not to mention these benefits, probably no one would be willing to give him a place to live.
The small courtyard is separate, with a main room and two side rooms, one of which is a study. There are bamboos planted outside, and there is a small pond in the garden with several goldfish swimming around in it. It is so elegant, it must have been the former residence of the young master.
There is a large bed in the innermost part of the main room. The bed is well made and is divided into inner and outer rooms, making them a room within a room. There is a small couch not far away, and the wooden steps under the big bed can also be used for sleeping. For wealthy families in the capital, the young master would have several maids as his companions when they were young. There will be one or two night watchmen at night, and people can sleep in front of the small couch or the big bed.
Originally, I wanted to place Liang Cheng on the small couch. But Liang Cheng asked for a footrest in front of the bed. Thinking that if Liang Cheng needed care at night, Mu Hanqing agreed.
Uncle He looked at the two of them and asked them to do as they were told. Then he sent a dozen servants to serve them, and then they settled down simply.
Xining returned to his room and changed his clothes. She took off her Jianghu clothes and put on an embroidered tube top and a waist-length pleated skirt, with a mandarin draped over it. Under the long hair, comb it into a bun and insert a simple hairpin.
Dressing up took time. Sitting in front of the dressing table, Xi Ning looked through the various jewelery in the jewelry box out of boredom. I thought the sapphire bracelet was good, so I took one and put it on.
"Master, it's done!" The maid who combed her hair picked up the bronze mirror and stood behind her, so that she could use the bronze mirror on the table to contrast with the one in her hand to see the entire hairstyle clearly.
Before the body owner leaves the palace, all the hair cannot be put up. The maid helped her make a simple bun on the top of her head. The rest of her hair was originally let down casually, but considering that she was usually so carefree, she tied her knee-length black hair in the middle with a rope.
At this time, she seemed much more elegant, she didn't want to be a female bandit at all, she was just like an ordinary official lady.
Xining found a gold hairpin from among the dozen hair accessories in the jewelry box and handed it to the maid to insert it into it. In this way, everything that is completely black becomes alive and looks much better.
Uncle He came outside and said that there were many more officers and soldiers outside, about a hundred people, guarding all the doors of the County Lord's Mansion. After asking, it was found that they were from the Military and Horse Division of the Five Cities, who came to protect them on orders from officials.
The news of Mu Hanqing's assassination must have reached the palace, and it was expected that Marquis Zhongyong went to the palace to complain. His only son was assassinated one after another. This time he was actually at the emperor's feet. He was really bold.
Uncle He reassured: "Seeing that there are still a few forbidden troops sent from the palace inside, now with the protection of officers and soldiers, the village owner can sit back and relax."
Probably because they wanted Mu Hanqing and Marquis Zhongyong to sit back and relax. Xining smiled faintly: "The safest place is probably the prison of the Ministry of Punishment."
Uncle He choked, but his words made sense. Is the village owner happy or unhappy? I can't tell, but it sounds a bit sarcastic, but how can the village owner be so delicate?
Could it be said that the leader of the village really became enlightened after his head was touched? Oh my god, I finally waited until the leader of the village got enlightened and burst into tears.
At this time, someone came in again and said that someone from the Criminal Department was coming and wanted the two assassins and handed them over. The trial is still going on, and it's just halfway through. Who knows what confessions will come out of the case if it's handed over. But don't hand it over, this is the official's intention. Before Uncle He could think of a way, he heard the village leader speak.
"First of all, you were dragging it on, saying that you wanted to report it to me, but I was so frightened that I drank the requiem soup and just lay down, so I didn't dare to disturb you."
Uncle He thought this was a good idea, so he heard the nurse who came asking: "What if they ask me to ask the prince?"
The village leader's tone was a little unhappy: "The prince will not be frightened, but he will be injured! Let's just say that the prince drank Ma Feisan when he was recovering from his injuries."
Ma Fei San and Requiem Decoction are even more powerful, and I can't wake up even if I scream.
The nursing home asked again: "Then what if they have to ask for someone?"
Mu Hanqing, who happened to come over to thank him, heard the noise inside and quickly stopped the maid who was about to go in to shout. When the maid saw this, she smiled and retreated to the small stool next to her to continue embroidering.
Xi Ning finally got angry. What a stupid person. He didn't understand at this point: "Any method will do. Is it possible that they broke into the house and robbed people? If they dare to break in, they will fight out and say that the prince After being stabbed, I can’t tell whether I am a human or a ghost. If you want someone, bring your Majesty’s decree. Don’t say you want someone. Even if you want Yong’an’s life, just take it.”
The nurse immediately bowed and left. Uncle He was a little worried: "Master, if this matter is your Majesty's fault..."
The following words were not spoken, in case it was the emperor who did this. At present, these are just for show, covering up people's eyes and ears.
Xi Ning shook his head slightly: "It probably wasn't the work of the officials. If you really want a family to fall, why go to such trouble? All it takes is an imperial edict to topple the tall buildings. Just like the officers and soldiers outside, those alone are enough to destroy them." The whole house.”
Sure enough, he understood. Uncle He asked tentatively: "But if we hold people captive like this, the superiors won't do anything to Marquis Zhongyong, but they can't tell us."
Xining was even more determined: "No official family will take my life. As long as the official family does not want the life of Marquis Zhongyong, they will not take my life. Don't forget, I am the unmarried wife of the Crown Prince Zhongyong Marquis.
In order to find out the truth of the matter, he dared to challenge the officialdom and held people captive. This kind of courage is not something that ordinary ladies can achieve. It seems that he underestimated her before.
Mu Hanqing, who was standing at the door, did not enter but left instead. The maids and women outside the door did not stop him and watched him leave with a smile.
Mu Hanqing's heart couldn't help but tumble, as if the words "I am the unmarried wife of Prince Zhongyong" were no longer so offensive.
Xining naturally didn't know that Mu Hanqing had already been here, and told Uncle He: "If the imperial edict comes, we will have to release him, so hurry up and get a confession before handing him over."
Uncle He nodded.
Then I heard the leader of the village say: "His grandma, it's such a loss. Ten taels of silver cost so much. You must know better than to rob the prince. When the time comes, go to Zhongyong Marquis and ask for a ransom of 500 taels of silver, otherwise he will not be released."
Uncle He......
