Chapter 353 What a pity(1/2)
Ningguo Mansion, back house.
When Jia Qiang came back, the sky was already bright in the east.
Li Jing led him to the courtyard of the Twelve Opera Officials to visit the senior officials.
At this time, Lingguan was not asleep yet...
Daiyu's carriage had been modified when she was in Yangzhou.
The chair under the seat is a box enclosed by an iron plate. The iron plate is covered with fire cloth and tin foil to prevent fire and heat insulation.
There is a mechanism on one side of the seat. After pulling the trigger, people can fall into it.
There is another mechanism inside the box. Press it again and the bottom can be separated and dropped.
Even if you don't go out and curl up inside, you can at least be worry-free for an hour.
Invulnerable to weapons, water and fire.
Ling Guan was an opera student and was quite nimble. After hearing the warning sound last night, he followed the routine and exclaimed before hiding in the iron box.
After the other guards were sure that there was no second attack, they rescued her and sent her back to Dongfu together with the iron box.
Although it didn't hurt much, Lingguan still cried all night...
Because her appearance resembled that of Daiyu, Jia Qiang was a little more patient and said rationally: "It is indeed wronging you to let you do such a thing. But if you are not very sure, I will not let you go."
adventure."
The senior official slowly raised his eyes, looked at Jia Qiang, and asked, "What if I'm not very sure?"
After hearing this, Jia Qiang was silent for a while, then sighed and said: "I won't lie to you. If there is really danger and you have to come forward, you still have to go."
Hearing this, the young official burst into tears and said sadly: "It would be great if Mr. Hou can tell the truth. I don't blame you. I was originally a girl in the Suzhou troupe. Without Mr. Hou, it would be difficult for me to end up well in the future. Although it is dangerous now
A little bit, but everything else is fine. I just hope that if one day I unfortunately die on behalf of Miss Lin, I can ask the Marquis to have my ashes sent back to my hometown in Suzhou."
Jia Qiang nodded, and in Li Jing's eyes, she agreed coldly: "If this is really the case, I will do it."
Li Jing saw that when the senior official heard this, his body trembled...
Fortunately, Jia Qiang changed the topic and said: "Five years, you only need to do it for another five years, and I will give you a truly free life, accept you as my adopted sister, give you a generous dowry, and keep you safe."
You will be rich and worry-free for the rest of your life. Although I, Jia Qiang, have told lies, I will never lie to a girl like you."
When the young official heard this, his heart was as sharp as a knife, but he just shed tears and said nothing.
Jia Qiang had no choice but to sigh and leave.
It's not that he is cruel, it's just that he and Lin Ruhai have more and more enemies the further they go.
Those people would not have any good methods to deal with him and Lin Ruhai, and the dangers Daiyu might be exposed to would become more and more...
It is necessary to have an extra stand-in just in case of emergencies, and it can also serve to confuse people's eyes and ears.
Even though this move is harmful to humanity and all kinds of sins, Jia Qiang is willing to bear it!
Li Jing looked at Jia Qiang's tall back, and then at Ling Guan, who was crying in tears. She sighed helplessly and stepped forward to persuade her...
…
West courtyard.
Jia Qiang walked tiredly through the corridor without disturbing anyone. She got some hot water from the fire room and washed herself briefly, then went back to the inner room to prepare for bed.
Seeing Xiangling and Qingwen sleeping soundly on the canopy bed, they had no intention of squeezing into the middle to hug each other.
He fell down on the couch, put on his clothes and held hands.
After a while, I fell asleep.
However, he didn't know how long he had slept. While he was half asleep and half awake, Jia Qiang felt that someone seemed to be moving him.
Listening to the voice, he vaguely understood that it was a familiar person who would not harm him, so he did not wake up completely.
until……
"boom!"
"Ouch! Look at you!!"
"It's broken, it's broken, it's broken!"
Amidst a series of sounds of surprise or regret, Jia Qiang opened her eyes, with an annoyed look on her face as if she had beaten a dog. She covered the painful spot on the back of her head with her right hand, looked at the two girls kneeling in front of her, and cursed: " What are you doing? Is there something wrong with you?!"
Xiangling looked remorseful and regretful, and knelt there dejectedly. Before she could speak, Qingwen said frankly as if she was determined to die: "Master, it's all my fault. I didn't lift your head properly, so I hit the bed." It’s on my teeth!”
Jia Qiang covered the bag behind her head, stretched out her hand and looked, luckily there was no blood, and cursed angrily: "What's the trick? Why bother me when you have nothing to do?"
Qingwen's peach blossom eyes were a little complicated, and she rarely said something harsh. She said softly: "I'm back, why don't you wake us up and sleep on the bed by yourself? Otherwise, just give me a good beating, and I'll admit it." ,real!"
After saying that, he took the initiative to lie there and raised his round and straight little butt.
Seeing that her tooth hurt, Jia Qiang raised her leg and kicked it. She heard Qingwen say "ouch", raised her head with a flushed face, and glared at Jia Qiang in shame.
Where to kick?
Jia Qiang felt that she was wrong and kicked her toes in the middle...
But he ignored her and scolded Xiang Ling, who was also sticking her butt up: "Go, go, get out quickly, don't bother me if you have nothing to do! I have been unlucky for eight lifetimes, and I met you two! "
After cursing, he gasped, carefully turned his head, and fell asleep again.
Xiangling grabbed Qingwen, whose face was burning and was still glaring at Jia Qiang, and whispered, "Quickly leave!"
Qingwen wrinkled her nose fiercely at Jia Qiang's back, then turned around and walked out.
Xiangling was half a step behind, a little curious as to why Qingwen's steps were strange...
But without thinking much, the two of them went out and prepared hot water for bathing and breakfast for Jia Qiang in case he got up.
As a result, as soon as the two of them came out and walked along the corridor to the fire room, they saw a girl pushing open the courtyard door and coming in. She didn't look very pretty.
"Who are you? Who let you in?"
Qingwen stood in the corridor, frowning and asked.
He didn't even knock on the door, which made her even more angry.
Xiangling recognized it and said with a smile, "Is it Xiren?"
Qingwen said angrily: "Assaulting people? I also stole people! Who let you in without knocking on the door? What was lost, can you be responsible for it?"
Xi Ren's face turned red with shame. She didn't know there was an extra Qingwen in Jia Qiang's courtyard. She just thought she was a silly girl named Xiang Ling and didn't even think of knocking on the door.
Unexpectedly, there would be such a sharp-tongued guy.
Just because I was wrong, I couldn't say much, so I could only apologize and say with a smile: "My wife asked me to come, to see if the Marquis is back?"
"No, just come back later!"
Qingwen didn't blink her eyes and waved her hand away.
Xiren's expression turned ugly and he said, "No, someone saw it. The Marquis came back earlier."
Qingwen paused for a moment and asked, "Are you okay?"
Xiren said: "I am a girl, how can I dare to alarm the Marquis? My wife is looking for the Marquis for something. I advise you to go and invite him."
Qingwen became more and more angry and said: "Master Hou just came back to take a rest, and we were beaten for being too loud just now. You still asked us to invite us, isn't it intentional to harm others? If you have the guts, go and invite us yourself." See if the Marquis can smash your head!"
After that, he said to Xiangling: "Let's go!"
Xiangling didn't leave, but shook his head with a smile and said: "Xiren should go over first. Our master didn't come back until dawn. He was so tired that he fell asleep. He just woke up by accident and finished his temper. Who dares to disturb him now?" ?I can’t invite you into the house. Our master has strict rules and no outsiders are allowed in the house!"
Hearing this, Xiren had no choice but to sigh and leave with a somewhat ugly look on his face.
Qingwen blamed Xiangling and said, "What did you advise her to do? Is it wrong to let her go in, wake up the Marquis, and let the Marquis also beat her?"
Xiangling chuckled and said, "I don't hit anyone! I only hit you for being disobedient!"
Qingwen spat: "Bah! Don't think that I don't know the good things you have done. Only when you are like you do you think you are obedient?"
Xiangling blushed in embarrassment and whispered: "I told you not to, you are not ashamed!"
After that, he turned around and left.
Qingwen almost died of anger, isn't she ashamed?
Stomping her feet, she ran after Xiangling to argue with Xiangling. Xiangling giggled and ran away. Qingwen was reluctant to let go and kept chasing after her.
After the figures of the two girls disappeared on the verandah amid laughter, not long after, a figure appeared outside the courtyard door, knocked lightly, and received no response, then gently opened the door and entered, calling again. I called Xiangling twice, but got no response. Out of curiosity, I went to the main hall...
…
And just when Jia Qiang was sound asleep, the biggest confrontation between the Long'an Dynasty clan and courtiers broke out in the court hall of Qianqing Palace!
Almost all the civil servants from the six departments and thirteen departments of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Rites Department, the Household Department, the Official Affairs Department, the General Administration Department, the Guanglu Temple, and the Hanlin Academy who are qualified to go to court will all go to court today.
However, before they could start their rant, the Zongren Mansion led more than a hundred clan members to take the lead in launching an attack. They all impeached the First Marquis of Ningguo Mansion, Jia Qiang, who was so insane that he even beat the Son of Heaven and his own son. Li Yao, the auxiliary Duke of the dynasty, was beaten beyond recognition and even led troops. Surrounding Fu Guogong's Mansion, Zhao Guogong's Mansion and Xiongwu Marquis' Mansion, intending to massacre.
How is this inhumane and disrespectful behavior different from treason?
For a moment, if Jia Qiang is not killed, it seems that the Li family will be in danger!
