The eldest lady just wants to be a crazy beauty

Chapter 41 No way

Qin Ruizhi was in a particularly good mood as she was about to return to Beijing.

It was rare to get a solid sleep.

Early the next morning, I got up early and practiced in the yard. I didn't stop until I was sweating profusely and exhausted.

After washing and changing clothes, and after breakfast, Qin Ruizhi called Xiaonian over and gave her 20 taels of silver.

"Xiao Nian, there are 20 taels of silver here, which is considered as the dowry given to you by the eldest lady. You can take the silver back home and get married in peace."

Xiaonian was flattered, but he didn't dare to collect the cash, "Miss, are you going to fire me? Is there something I didn't do well?"

Xiaonian was a maid hired by the Gao family. When Gao Jinying and his wife were still there, they had already decided to resign early next year and go back to get married.

Now there's still half a year left, but he's still asking her to go home and get married.

"It's not that I'm resigning, it's that I'm going back to Kyoto and I don't need you to serve me anymore. Originally, you could stay here until the beginning of next year, because I'm going back to Kyoto and I don't need you anymore. It's hard to find you again in such a short time. A new customer, so this money is both a dowry and a compensation for you."

Qin Ruizhi smiled and handed the money to Xiaonian's hand, "I won't leave until two days later, so I will have to trouble Xiaonian more in these two days.".

Xiaonian was flattered, took the money, knelt down and kowtowed to Qin Ruizhi, "Thank you, Miss, for the reward. Xiaonian is willing to serve you for two years, let alone two days."

"Okay, let's get up. We are the only two dependents in the house, so there is no need for such a grand ceremony."

Qin Ruizhi helped Xiaonian up.

While he was talking, the servant of the Pei family came.

In addition to Pei Guangshan, he also brought three capable guards.

"Miss, the carriage is ready. I made my own decision and parked in the backyard. The carriage was prepared with dry food and water, as well as some expenses. These are my young master's wishes, and I hope you will accept them."

After that, he introduced the three guards to Qin Ruizhi, "These are the guards carefully selected by my young master. They are all top-notch masters. I will bring them here to recognize them today. When we set off, we will come back to our house." Escort the eldest lady back to Beijing."

At present, there are only Qin Ruizhi and maid Xiaonian in Gaofu. It is a good arrangement to take them to recognize people but not stay in Gaofu for safety reasons.

Qin Ruizhi nodded and glanced at the guards one by one, "Which of these eldest brothers is Tong Buyi?"

This is what Pei Guangshan is going to say next, "Tong Buyi escaped. According to investigations, he most likely went to Jeju."

Qin Ruizhi guessed: "Is it polite to go to the banquet?"

Pei Guangshan replied: "My young master also guessed the same, but he is just a guard hired by the Pei Mansion, not a servant who signed a contract of sale. It is not easy for the Pei Mansion to send people to chase him."

After seeing Pei Guangshan off, Qin Ruizhi began to pack her luggage.

Her luggage was very small, including a knife, a few changes of clothes, dozens of taels of silver, and some banknotes.

Of course, the most important thing is the loan deeds brought from Guanglitong. Although she returned to Kyoto, the Pei family is planning to open Guanglitong in Kyoto, so those loan deeds can still be used in Kyoto.

Pei Xingheng had already prepared dry food, but to be on the safe side, Qin Ruizhi asked Xiaonian to make some steamed buns and cakes to eat on the road.

Xiaonian was kneading noodles and making steamed buns. As soon as the steamed buns were put into the pot, a heavy rain poured down.

Qin Ruizhi stood under the eaves, watching the pouring rain gradually splashing on the bluestone road.

I remember that when her soul returned to Qin Ruizhi, it also rained heavily like this, even heavier than today.

A rainy night is the perfect time to kill someone.When the Yan family set up an ambush in the Whirlpool Ridge, they also chose such a rainy night to kill Qin Ruizhi by surprise.

....................................

....................................

The heavy rain fell like beans, falling into broken beads.

In the heavy rain, a speeding carriage crossed a muddy puddle, causing quite a bump. The two people in the carriage were hit and staggered.

After a while, the older man regained his composure, took out a package from his back and handed it to the young man sitting opposite, "This is a confession signed and sealed by Tong Liting. It is of great importance and is related to the stability of the country. You You must take it back to Kyoto and present it to His Majesty in person."

Zheng Pin looked at the package handed over and hesitated to accept it, "Sir, what do you mean?"

Yuan Qinian shook his head, "Tongli Ting was greedy for life and afraid of death, trying to survive, and he had to face the saint before he would confess to the person behind the scenes. Now that the person is dead, this confession is the only evidence. There are powerful enemies behind him, and the road ahead is bleak. , we can’t help it…”

At this moment, a sharp arrow shot through the rainy night, penetrated the window of the carriage, shot into the carriage, and passed Zheng Pin's head.

It only takes a moment to penetrate Zheng Pin's head.

Then, there was the second one...the third one...

As the sharp arrows pierced the carriage, the roar of horses could also be heard, followed by the sound of swords clashing.

Yuan Qinian took a chance and stuck half of his head out of the car window, with only a pair of eyes exposed, to check the situation outside the car. There was already a battle outside.

Of the 20 state soldiers who had escorted them back to Beijing from Xiangzhou, there were now less than [-] left, and all of them were injured. It was a rainy night, so their movements were hindered, and they were no match.

But even so, they are still fighting to the death.

Fight all the way, run all the way, and escort all the way.

"Listen to me, we can't go back, we can only protect each other. Puzhou is in front of us. I will try to distract the gangsters who are coming. You can take a detour to Puzhou.

Puzhou County Magistrate Gao Jinying was my classmate when I was young. He was upright and reliable, and he came from the Gao family, so he refined his martial arts.In addition to Gao Jinying, her sister Gao Zhiying was once the patrol envoy of the Zhongling Camp. She has five generals and is a top master.

You go to the Gao family and find Mr. Gao and explain the whole story. He will definitely save your life and escort you back to Beijing.When you enter the capital and present this confession, your Majesty will make the final decision on right or wrong. "

"Sir..." Zheng Pin grabbed Yuan Qinian's hand and refused to accept the fatal package. He couldn't tell whether he couldn't bear Yuan Qinian sacrificing himself to save him, or he was afraid of going to Gao's house alone.

"There is no time. If we don't leave, we will all die here."

Yuan Qinian pushed Zheng Pin aside in a deep voice, then bowed and got out of the carriage, waving his whip and shouting at the top of his lungs, "Drive~drive~drive~"

But maybe he was not good at driving a carriage, or maybe he had been running all night and the horse was exhausted to the limit, so the carriage always followed a strange route, a serpentine route, sometimes heading east and sometimes west.

After this route continued for two miles, the wheels ran over a stone and the carriage overturned. Then it miraculously recovered and ran forward as fast as possible.

Behind the carriage, more state soldiers fell one after another.

Sharp arrows struck one after another.

On a rainy night, the sword splashed with blood, and the rising water annihilated everything.

No one noticed that there was a shivering person hiding in the grass where the carriage passed.
