Chapter 700: Swinging left and right, the nature of the Qi family

But at this moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, and a guard whispered through the door: "Master, the people from the Infantry Commander's Yamen are here! They say they want to meet you!"

As soon as these words came out, several people in the room panicked.

Especially Ma Ji, he had just finished bragging, but he didn't expect to be slapped in the face so quickly.

There was a murderous intent in Yang Lin's eyes, and he looked sideways at the door.

Ma Ji stood up quickly and pretended to be calm: "I know! Please ask them to rest in the living room first. I will be there soon!"

"As ordered!"

The guard turned and left.

In fact, he just heard someone talking to Ma Ji in the house, but he was Ma Ji's person after all, so he didn't bother to ask more questions.

Ma Ji whispered: "Mr. Yang, you must take care of your subordinates! Don't make any noise. The other party should just come for a routine check and nothing will happen! I will come as soon as I go!"

With that said, he opened the door and left.

After walking out of the study, Ma Ji felt that his calves were weak. He immediately held on to the pillar on the side. He took out a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat from his face, adjusted himself, and then walked towards the living room with a smile.

In the study, a killer said: "Sir, this Master Ma won't betray us, right?"

Yang Lin said solemnly: "No!"

Until now, he could only say this, silently praying in his heart that there would be no problems with the people arranged by Lin Yun.

Yang Lin could trust Lin Yun unconditionally, but he didn't dare to fully trust outsiders.

But he knew that he must not show cowardice at this moment, otherwise if the three guys under his command couldn't sit still and caused some trouble, it would be all over.

If they were caught here again, not only would Ma Ji be implicated, but Lin Yun would also be involved.

He cannot bear such a big responsibility.

On the other side, Ma Ji came to the living room with a smile.

I saw Qi Rui sitting on a chair sipping tea, and behind him stood several officers from the infantry command yamen. They were all fully armed and wearing light armor, with a saber hanging on the left waist and a bamboo gun hanging on the right waist. They looked majestic. stern.

Qi Changyun spent a lot of money to purchase these equipment from Lin Yun.

The emperor was naturally very happy that the armed infantry commanded the Yamen, after all, it was to protect his safety.

"Hey, why is Commander Qi suddenly free to come to Xiaguan?"

Ma Ji came forward with enthusiasm.

Qi Rui put down the tea cup and said jokingly: "Master Ma, why do you ask questions knowingly? There was an explosion at the palace gate this morning, didn't you know?"

Ma Ji slapped his forehead and said, "Hey, of course I've heard about this! I never thought that anyone would have the courage to take action at the emperor's feet!"

Qi Rui said: "Yes! The other party is very courageous! What suspects has Mr. Ma recently come into contact with? Don't get me wrong, this officer is just making a routine inquiry, not doubting you!"

Ma Jihan smiled and said: "Understood! However, I really don't know about this matter! I haven't left the capital in recent months. Commander Qi should know this!"

"Yes!" Qi Rui responded, turned to look at the officers behind him, and said, "Go and check around! Remember, don't disturb Mr. Ma's family!"

"Yes!"

Several officers immediately took orders and left. Ma Ji suddenly panicked. Watching them leave, his hands on the table clenched unconsciously.

This scene was clearly seen by Qi Rui. He grabbed Ma Ji's hand and said meaningfully: "Master Ma, there are no outsiders now. Tell the truth, was Lin Zhongtang secretly planning the explosion in the palace?"

A drop of cold sweat ran down Ma Ji's forehead. He was not sure what Qi Rui's real intention was, so he forced a smile: "Commander Qi is joking! It has been almost two months since Lin Zhongtang left Beijing. I don't know what Lin Zhongtang really wants to do." love!"

Qi Rui frowned secretly and whispered: "Ma Ji, this commander is not joking with you! You should know the private relationship between my Qi family and Lin Zhongtang! Only if you tell the truth can we eliminate all evidence for Lin Zhongtang!"

Ma Ji said meaningfully: "How do the subordinates understand Commander Qi's words?"

"Hey, forget it!" Qi Rui stood up suddenly. He understood that as long as Lin Yun didn't come back for a day, these Lin Yun's old subordinates would not dare to say a word.

He walked to the door, adjusted the light armor on his body, and said: "No matter whether Lord Ma knows about this or not, you must wipe your butt clean! I don't have time to waste here, I have to go see Wang Chuanzhong and Lin Zixiang! Farewell!"

With that said, he turned and left.

Ma Ji hurried to the door and saw that the officers were just walking around the courtyard as a routine and did not go to the backyard to check at all.

Only then did he realize that Qi Rui was one of his own.

Ma Ji sent them to the door of the house and said with a smile: "Thank you very much, Commander Qi, for the warning. I will definitely take it to heart!"

As soon as he said this, Qi Rui gave him a meaningful look, a smile appeared on his lips, got on his horse, and led his men away.

At this point, Qi Rui can only do so without offending both parties.

Moreover, as the commander of the imperial guards, he could guess a little bit of the emperor's thoughts. Even he could think that Lin Yun was most likely secretly planning everything this time, and there was no reason why the emperor couldn't guess it.

The imperial court seemed to be on an aggressive offensive, searching everywhere in the city, but Yun Mansion was not even mentioned once.

Obviously this operation was just a show, for outsiders to see.

Therefore, until the matter is completely clear, it is impossible for his Qi family to take sides, and everything will have to wait for Lin Yun's return.

After that, Qi Rui returned to the Infantry Command Yamen. As soon as he entered the living room, he saw Fu Tianchen and his father chatting and laughing.

It's been a day, but Fu Tianchen still has no intention of leaving, which makes Qi Rui a little worried.

He walked in and was about to speak when he suddenly saw the little princess Li Qingyue present. He immediately knelt on one knee and said, "I have seen Fuzhongtang and your Highness the Princess!"

Fu Tianchen said with a smile: "Commander Qi has worked hard today! What have you gained?"

Li Qingyue just smiled and nodded, then lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers, like a spectator, with no intention of speaking at all.

Qi Rui cupped his fists and said, "I sent out more than 2,000 people to search the capital today, but no suspects were found! I guess the other party has left the city in advance!"

Qi Changyun said: "Are you sure you didn't miss anything? Rui'er, you have to think clearly before answering what Fu Zhongtang said!"

He had been cautious all his life because he was afraid that something would go wrong this time and his Qi family would be involved.

If he hadn't held the position of Admiral of the Nine Sects, he would never have participated.

Qi Rui looked solemn and nodded: "OK!"

Qi Changyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Fu Tianchen with a smile and said, "Fu Zhongtang, are you satisfied?"

Fu Tianchen stood up suddenly, stretched lazily and said, "That's all, since there are no clues, I'll take my leave now!"
