—
It rains a lot in the South.
Qing Hua woke up early the next morning to the sound of pouring rain.
These days, she ate and lived with Lian Xueyin. She habitually touched around her and found nothing.
She sat up.
As expected, Lian Xueyin is not in the room.
Strange.
She put on her clothes and stood up, shouting.
"Madam," a maid hurried to the door and asked cautiously, "are you awake? Do you want to prepare breakfast?"
Lian Xueyin asked people to prepare this house, and the maid bought it now. She was frightened by Lian Xueyin's aura and was a little timid.
"Where is your husband?" Qing Hui asked her.
The maid glanced at her timidly, as if she was a little confused and hesitated to speak.
"What's wrong? Did something happen to my husband?" Qing Hui was a little curious.
"No, it's not that the master has anything to do. It's that something happened in Chongyang City early this morning. The master went out after hearing about it." The little maid hurriedly explained to her.
"Pfft——"
Qing Hua was amused by the name of the little maid.
Although she and Lian Xueyin pretended to be businessmen along the way, neither of them were troublesome people, so they did not find any maids to wait on them along the way.
"Tell me, what happened?" Qing Hui suppressed laughter and asked.
"I heard that the son of Magistrate Liu was assassinated in Huafang last night. The Yamen sent people to investigate the matter overnight, but there is no clue about the matter. Someone set fire to Magistrate Liu's backyard last night. Fortunately, it just rained last night and the fire didn't stop.
It started to burn, but several people died. I heard that they were also members of Magistrate Liu’s family. Now there is a lot of talk in the city, saying that Magistrate Liu’s family must have encountered an enemy to seek revenge, and maybe they have provoked some charlatan!"p>
"They also said that the person who assassinated Mr. Liu last night had his identity checked at the Yamen, and one of them seemed to be a bandit from Pingshan."
"What? Bandits?" Qing Hui stared at the little maid in surprise, "How did you know?"
Seeing her interest, the little maid quickly picked up what she knew and said, "Our Chongyang City is very close to Ruohe River and has convenient water transportation, so water bandits rob merchant ships. However, His Majesty once strictly regulated the canals.
The safety of the big gangs of water bandits was so frightened that they did not dare to act openly as water bandits to rob merchant ships. They could only hide in the mountains and find nearby small rivers to attack. In this way, the mountains were high and the emperor was far away. The local officials were afraid of retaliation and would not
Dare to vigorously suppress the bandits, resulting in a situation where some bandits are rampant. Our local people all know it, so merchants can go to the big rivers if they can, and they will have enough manpower to go to the small rivers."
"Last year, Magistrate Liu organized people to suppress bandits and killed many people in Pingshan. So this time, everyone felt that Magistrate Liu's family was retaliated by bandits."
Qing Hu never thought that there would be bandits here.
"Is there a horse?" Qing Hu asked.
She originally thought of not rushing and checking slowly, but something wasn't right.
Why did someone attack the Liu family as soon as she arrived in Chongzhou?
The bandits want to take revenge on the Liu family. After the bandits are suppressed, they will look for opportunities to take revenge. How did they end up now?
Eighty percent of the time it was someone using the help of bandits for other purposes.
"Yes!" The maid hurriedly took her to the stables, "Madam, do you want to prepare a carriage for you?"
"No need."
Qing Hu asked someone to bring a horse out. She quickly looked at the map of Chongyang City and found the location of the government office. Then she got on the horse and ran directly towards the government office.
As a result, just halfway through, he saw a disheveled Liu Yingzhong from a distance, looking like he was crazy, riding his horse towards the city gate.
What is he going to do?
Qing Hui hurriedly turned his horse's head and followed.
All the way out of the city, Qing Hui narrowly caught up with Liu Yingzhong, who was acting crazy, "Young Master Liu! Wait for me, where are you going?"
She only had time to ask Lian Xueyin to help her find a map of Chongyang City yesterday, but there was no map outside the city.
Seeing Liu Yingzhong's eyes turned red, she said in surprise: "You don't want to go up the mountain to seek revenge on the bandits like this, do you?"
"Hey~" Liu Yingzhong pulled the horse, drew out his sword, and pointed it at Qing Hui: "Who are you? What do you want? If you want to come for me, come for me! Why do you want to hurt innocent people!
”
Qing Hui didn't understand, "Don't you think that the person who went to your house to set fire to kill people last night has something to do with me?"
"Does it have nothing to do with you? As soon as you showed up, there were assassins who wanted to kill me and silence me. Then they sneaked into the Liu Mansion late at night and killed even the women and children. Do you still have any humanity? Do you really think that you, the Duke of Qi State, can cover the sky with one hand? Do you think you can?
Didn't I know you were the ones who colluded with the bandits?" Liu Yingzhong's eyes were bloodshot and he gritted his teeth in hatred, "You beasts!"
Qing Hua: "..."
She has never been scolded like this before.
Even if she had something to ask, she had to teach this idiot a lesson first!
Qing Hua raised his hand.
At this moment, there was a sudden vibration in the distance. She and Liu Yingzhong looked towards the vibration at the same time, and saw huge rocks rolling down the mountain. At the same time, at least dozens of people came out of the darkness.
Holding a knife, he rushed towards them.
Qing Hua: "??"
Who is this for?
Seeing the stone rolling down, their horses were frightened. Qing Hui had to turn over and dismount. Liu Yingzhong was not much better and was almost thrown off the horse.
The two narrowly avoided the rocks, but in the blink of an eye, they were surrounded by the group of bandits.
The leader's eyes widened when he saw Qing Hua: "Oh! There is an unexpected harvest! Young lady, are you also the confidante of this young master of the Liu family? It just so happens that we haven't seen such a charming woman in the mountains for a long time, brothers.
, take them back together!"
"The military advisor is really good at predicting events. He said that if he squats here today, he will definitely be able to defend Mr. Liu. Hahaha, it is true!!"
"Tie them up! Take them away! Hurry up, hurry up, don't attract people later and get into trouble!"
A group of bandits looked at Qing Hua, and they were all eager to move forward.
As a result, he was kicked by the leader, took the rope himself, and walked towards Qing Hui!

"Wait a minute!" Qing Hui called to him and pointed to the rope in his hand, "Brother, can I tie it myself? I will follow you back, can you let me go by myself? I promise to cooperate with you and never resist.
, I can also help you persuade him not to resist. If you want to take him away, you probably don’t want him to die now, but if you look at his anxious look, he will bite his tongue and commit suicide if he is not careful!"
When Liu Yingzhong heard her words, he gritted his teeth angrily. He had never seen such a woman before!
A woman disguised herself as a man and visited a brothel, and now she is negotiating terms with bandits!
He was so angry that he lost his mind just now, but in this situation, he also realized that if he resisted, he would definitely die!
If he doesn't want to die now, he can only cooperate with her in acting.
He immediately put the sword in his hand across his neck: "Don't come here! If you take a step forward, I will die now! How can I, the noble son of the magistrate of Chongyang City, be threatened by gangsters like you!"
He seemed to be really crazy. The sword pressed against his neck, and a trail of blood instantly appeared.
Qing Hui shouted nervously: "Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu, don't be impulsive! If you die, I, I won't be alive, so I might as well let you go now!"
Qing Hui wasn't very good at acting, but that didn't mean she couldn't shout. She pretended to pull out a gold hairpin and gestured directly to her neck, "It's a pity that my family has so much wealth that I won't be able to spend it all in ten lifetimes. I really
I don’t want to die, wuwuwu..."
Her exaggerated acting skills left Liu Yingzhong speechless.
How can anyone speak so inconsistently?
While shouting that I don’t want to live anymore, I’ll go with you, at the same time shouting that he has a lot of money and can’t bear to die...
But when she yelled like this, someone actually asked, "Do you really have that much money?"
"Of course! My family is a wealthy businessman in Si Lingzhou!" Qing Hui took out his purse, took out a handful of gold leaves, and threw them away.
Several bandits swarmed up, quickly picked up the gold leaves, put them in their mouths and took a bite. They followed the leader and said with bright eyes: "Boss, it's really gold! This bitch is really rich!"p>
"No wonder she has such thin skin and tender flesh. I have never seen such a fair woman in my whole life!"
"Otherwise, take her back first. If you can marry her, wouldn't you make a fortune? We are so timid now, how long it will take to get one vote. Brothers are almost out of money!" someone suggested.
The leader looked uncertain. After thinking for a while, he threw two ropes to Qing Hui, "Okay, I'll give you some face. The main reason I came back to our village is because I fell in love with you, and that's your fate!"
"Don't even think about running away, this Pingshan is the territory of our Shanlong Village."
"I don't want to run away. I have so much money and I don't have anywhere to spend it. I will never run away." Qing Hui took the rope and immediately expressed his stance.
Then he said to Liu Yingzhong: "Mr. Liu, even if it's for me, please, let's go back with them. Maybe their village master is in a good mood and spares our lives, don't you think? My family has a big business, so if it's a big deal, there will be more."
Give me some ransom, Mr. Liu, please..."
"Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu Lang~"
She is soft-spoken and very seductive.
Even a few bandits thought she was afraid of death.
Only Liu Yingzhong slightly twitched the corners of his lips with a dark face. Although he didn't know her true identity, thinking of the mysterious man last night, he probably guessed her intentions.
She was telling him that her husband would definitely come to save her.
Liu Yingzhong dropped the long sword in his hand.
Qing Hu quickly tied up his hands with a rope, then left one end and threw it to the bandits.
Then he tied his hands up in the same way.
Seeing that she really wasn't playing tricks, the bandits were convinced that she was really afraid of death. They picked up the other end of the rope, surrounded them, and shouted, "Let's go!"
Liu Yingzhong frowned.
I was stepped on by the green cypress tree next to me.
Liu Yingzhong was in pain and glanced at Qing Hui hatefully. Looking at her pitiful look, he gritted his teeth and endured it.
He really wants to know where this woman came from.
