Book with Emperor

Chapter 16 Secretly
It was two o'clock at night, but the backyard of the inn was brightly lit. Tang Hai and other bodyguards all looked cold, surrounded Yue Wentian in black, and the murderous Jiang Huan held the sword in front of Yue Wentian.

This was what Qin Guanyue saw when she came down, her eyes dimmed, and in a blink of an eye she greeted her with a panicked expression.

"Xiaotian! This is... what's wrong?"

"Go away!"

Zhang Tian shouted angrily, and swung the knife in his hand at Qin Guanyue who was rushing towards him.

Suddenly, Yue Wentian's eyes became cold, and he stepped forward to hug Qin Guanyue's waist to protect him behind him, and kicked the knife in the opponent's hand with his other foot.

"you--"

Zhang Tian was furious and wanted to strike again, Yue Wentian's muscles tensed up.

"Zhang Tian!" Tang Hai scolded angrily.

Zhang Tian's eyes were red, and he stared at Yue Wentian viciously like an angry beast, but he still didn't make any more moves after all.

Qin Guanyue looked at Jiang Huan in surprise, "Hero Jiang... Did my brother offend you?"

Jiang Huan put down the sword in his hand, "Someone is stealing a dart."

"What do you mean? We stole it if it was lost? What proof do you have?" Han Zhengwei asked angrily.

Jiang Huan looked at Yue Wentian, "When I chased him out, I saw him coming back in night clothes."

"..."

Tang Hai took a step forward and asked, "Dare to ask why the little brother ran out at night?"

"I……"

"I let him out."

Qin Guanyue interrupted Yue Wentian's words and explained, "When I returned to the inn today, I found that the wooden hairpin on my body was missing. I thought it was lost when I bought rouge and gouache. Because it was my mother's relic, Xiaotian said he would help me. get back."

After she finished speaking, she turned and looked at the boy behind her, "Did you find it?"

Yue Wentian looked at her for a moment, then took out a wooden hairpin from his bosom.

Qin Guanyue took the wooden hairpin and spread it out for several people to see, "I don't know what treasures you have lost, but if you still suspect Xiaotian, you can search your body."

Tang Hai was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "There is no need for a body search, although there are thieves, but we have not—"

"Why don't you search?!"

Zhang Tian interrupted him abruptly, and looked at Yue Wentian sullenly, "Not only does he want to search, but you also want to search, the entire inn, and the entire city of Tong'an can't escape!"

As soon as the voice fell, the atmosphere in the courtyard became cold.

Tang Hai frowned and looked at him, "Calm down."

But Zhang Tian raised his finger and pointed at him, "Shut up! If you can't find something, you can't eat it in the Tangmen Escort Bureau!"

Tang Hai's face turned cold, "Jiujiang Yun's family is powerful, but they don't have the ability to manage the Tang family in the capital!"

Han Zhengwei laughed out loud as he listened, someone was fighting for power in front of him, "A mere Jiujiang family dares to stand in front of my young master..."

Qin Guanyue said lightly, "Since you lost something, it's better for Chief Tang to report it to the police."

"Can't report!" Zhang Tian shouted suddenly.

Qin Guanyue also turned cold, "Although my family is not a rich and powerful official, I also know etiquette, righteousness and shame, and would never do such a thing like stealing. It's just that the two of you will say that you haven't lost anything, and sometimes you can't find it." , I don’t know what it means?”

Tang Hai looked at Zhang Tian coldly, "I also want to know what it means!"

Zhang Tian's face turned pale, and he was about to open his mouth, but finally he said, "In short...you can't report to the government!"

Han Zhengwei refused to accept, "Why can't you report to the government?"

A few people were silent, Han Zhengwei said impatiently, "If you can't report to the official, you can always say who stole it?"

Tang Hai raised his hand and handed over a blank sheet of paper.

Han Zhengwei took it and glanced at it, and there were a few words on it, "Bao... the treasure has been taken, and the flowers... are the flowers empty?"

"This name..." Han Zhengwei frowned.

Qin Guanyue raised her eyes, "Have you heard?"

"No, it just sounds like the one in Nanfeng Hall."

"..."

"Whether to report to the officer or not is the business of Chief Tang."

Qin Guanyue signaled Han Zhengwei to return the letter to Tang Hai, and walked back holding Yue Wentian's hand, "Tomorrow we will part ways."

"Don't go!"

Zhang Tian shouted angrily, and drew his sword to block the way of the three of them.

Tang Hai's expression turned cold, and he moved forward to block his wrist, "Brother Zhang, I counted the number of dart silver clearly, I don't know which one is missing, I'm afraid you have to explain it clearly."

After saying this, he didn't look back, and said directly, "Miss Ming, please go back to your room and rest, I offended you tonight, please forgive me."

Qin Guanyue nodded slightly, pulled Yue Wentian and turned to leave.

"I'm afraid you won't be able to leave!"

Zhang Tian sneered and shouted, "Catch them!"

As soon as the words fell, a group of officers and soldiers rushed in outside and surrounded the entire inn.

The bodyguards were all startled, Tang Hai immediately winked at Jiang Huan who was at the side, Jiang Huan regained his breath in an instant, and quietly disappeared from the crowd.

Qin Guanyue watched this scene calmly, with a smile in her eyes.

"Grab it!"

The head catcher was in his thirties, his eyes were hale and hearty, he glanced at the inn lobby, and then his eyes fell on Han Zhengwei,

Han Zhengwei was taken aback for a moment, and looked back. There was no one else, and he was immediately confused, "What do you mean? Arrest me? Which government office are you from? You"

The head catcher glanced at him coldly, and with a few words, people tied up the guards and Qin Guanyue.

"Do you know who the young master is?"

Han Zhengwei stared at the head catcher, "You dare to arrest me? Believe it or not, my father chopped off your heads?!"

The head catcher snorted coldly, "Collude with thieves to steal the tribute, even the prince can't escape you! Take it away!"

"A tribute? What tribute... No, why did we collude with thieves?"

Han Zhengwei turned to look at Tang Hai and the others, "What's going on? What does this have to do with us?!"

Tang Hai's expression was gloomy, "I'm sorry, we have troubled you with this matter."

Han Zhengwei was impatient, "There is no beginning and no end, can you make it clearer?"

"It seems that we have to accept our fate." Qin Guanyue looked calm.

"Damn it! Is there something wrong with him?!" Han Zhengwei roared angrily.

"What's the noise!"

The officers and soldiers who escorted him kicked him, Han Zhengwei stepped aside, the opponent missed the kick, Young Master Han stared at him, the opponent cursed and walked away.

Qin Guanyue cooperated a lot, and was shackled obediently. When she caught a glimpse of Yue Wentian beside him being shackled quietly, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Aren't you afraid?" she asked.

"They are not officers and soldiers." The boy replied calmly.

Qin Guanyue raised the corners of her mouth and was escorted forward.

"The Tang Family Escort Bureau is also well-known throughout the capital, and even Zhen Weihou will give a little bit of face, so they often escort the local tributes to the capital."

Yue Wentian obediently followed the officers and soldiers forward, looked at the night ahead and quietly analyzed, "But there is no need to be sneaky when the tribute is lost. The only possibility is that the lost thing cannot be known."

Qin Guanyue's eyes showed admiration, "What else?"

"This place belongs to Jiujiang, and the biggest tribute families are only Yun and Chu's family, and this Tong'an is the territory of Yun's family, so..."

Yuewen Tianyu's air pressure dropped a bit, "It's the Yun family's fault."

Han Zhengwei on the side was furious, and turned to look at Qin Guanyue, who was smiling, and suddenly became angry, "Is it on purpose? What do you want to do?!"

"Aren't you worried that Lou Binghe will find us?" Qin Guanyue looked innocent.

Young Master Han was about to go crazy, "What does this have to do with his grandma's? We are going to deliver it to your door now!"

"Who told you it was delivered to your door?"

Qin Guanyue smiled, "Obviously she hid in the safest place."

Han Zhengwei was taken aback, "...What do you mean?"

Yue Wentian gave Qin Guan a surprised look, then slightly raised the corner of his mouth, "It's really safe."

In the dark night, Jiang Huan watched Qin Guanyue and others being led out of the inn, and was about to follow, but another black figure followed.

He held back his breath, jumped onto the roof, and fell far behind the man.

And in the dark corner outside the inn, the old beggar who was sleeping soundly leaned in the corner and watched all this quietly.

"My lord, I'll follow—"

"Need not."

"Yes."
