Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 185 Di Tanhua was assassinated and entered the Hou's Mansion (1)
She ran out to catch up, and asked anxiously, "Uncle He, is my elder brother going with you?"

He Jingyan stretched out his hand to touch Li Jingjing's soft black hair, but did not hide anything, nodded and promised: "Don't worry. This matter is not dangerous, Qing Lang just follow me for a formality."

Li Jingjing held He Jingyan's hand tightly, and said in a low voice, "Uncle He, the two life-extending qi ginseng pills are for you and my elder brother."

"Master has given instructions just now. Thank you." He Jingyan picked up Li Jingjing, walked out of the courtyard gate, watched her leave in a soft sedan chair, then went to change her armor, rode a thousand-mile horse, and met Qin, who had been waiting outside the gate for a long time. jump confluence.

There is no rain in winter, and the cold wind by the river is bitingly cold.

Two teams of hundreds of soldiers in armor galloped on the official road on military horses. The hundred soldiers in front of the line all had black faces and fierce eyes, full of murderous aura.

When they were less than five miles away from the city gate of Tanzhou, the cavalry team unfurled a bright yellow banner with the word "tiger" written in ink on the front and a black roaring tiger painted on the front.

The city gate of Tanzhou was wide open, and the twenty soldiers guarding the gate had already seen this army, and hurriedly dispersed the people inside and outside the gate.

All the soldiers shouted in unison: "The Tiger Ben army bears the emperor's order, so hurry up and get out of the way." The voice was as loud as thunder, and dispersed from the city gate in all directions, echoing for a long time.

Before the common people reacted, the team galloped past, bringing up dust all over the sky.

Soon, the biggest incident in more than ten years happened in Tanzhou Prefecture. In less than half an hour, from the officials to the poor, the streets and alleys were full of rumors.

At that time, today's son He Dong sent He Jingyan and Li Yunqing, the founding son of the state, to lead the Huben army to raid the Governor's Mansion of Hunan Province.

He Jingyan declared on the spot that the provincial governor of Hunan had committed seven felonies of embezzlement, perverting the law, and assassinating officials. He would be imprisoned immediately and be executed tomorrow.

In the evening, a middle-aged couple with pale complexions and hidden brows came to the side door of Tanzhou Duke's Mansion. They gave the door slave a hundred-ticket silver note, begging to see Qin Yue and his wife.

The door slave heard that it was a big matter, so he didn't dare to make decisions without authorization. Qin Yue was not in the mansion, so he had to report to He Huishu, put the silver ticket on the table, knelt down and said, "Second madam, the seventh master of my family said that it is a matter of life and death. beg."

He Huishu said coldly: "At the beginning, I did not agree with them giving their daughter to the Dudu as a concubine. They were very capable, and they went beyond the Duke's Mansion, just stuffing their daughter into the Dudu's Mansion. Now that the Dudu's Mansion has collapsed, their My daughter was demoted to be a military slave and sent to the north, so she wanted to beg me. What did you do?"

The door slave knelt on the ground and dared not vent his anger.

He Huishu continued: "Your Majesty ordered the Huben army to raid their homes and arrest people. The troops on Hunan Road are only coordinating, because they are afraid that the governor's mansion will slip through the net. All the people in the mansion must be included in the book now. How can we save them?" Somebody has to come out."

Afraid of angering He Huishu, Mrs. He hurriedly said, "Second Madam, how about the slaves go back to them?"

"It's useless for you to tell them. They will hate me anyway." He Huishu shook her head, asked the door slave to return the bank note, and waved impatiently: "If this happens again, don't report it."

The door slave trotted back to the side door, handed the silver ticket to the middle-aged couple, and told them to leave quickly.

"At the beginning, it was not our husband and wife who wanted to send our daughter to the Governor's Mansion, but the decision made by the elders." The middle-aged couple burst into tears. Seeing the door slave closing the side door, instead of wasting time, it is better to go directly to the Jianguohou Mansion to beg. He Jingyan's master Li Bing.

At night, dark clouds enveloped the sky and the earth, and the winter wind was cold. The gate of the Kaiguohou Mansion was closed, and two red lanterns in front of the gate swayed in the wind.

The middle-aged couple went to three more side doors, but they were all closed, so they pressed their ears to the door, and when they heard someone whispering inside, they hurriedly called for the door.

The man inside shouted loudly: "Our Marquis has an order that no one can enter or leave. You leave quickly, or you will be executed on the spot for the crime of attacking the Marquis Mansion!"

The middle-aged couple had nowhere to go, and went to the other courtyard of the Guogong Mansion of Tanzhou Academy with an attitude of trying.

Qin Minye was playing chess with Li Qubing. Hearing what the door slave explained, he got up and went out to meet each other. He said bluntly: "At the beginning, no one in the marriage house agreed. Who agreed to it? You can go find it." who."

The middle-aged couple knelt down and kowtowed in tears.

Qin Minye thought about it and said, "If you really want to save Cousin 24, you might as well go directly to the Beidi military camp, wait for the news to pass and redeem her with heavy money."

"The money is in the hands of several elders. We only have 100 taels of silver in total. There is no heavy silver." The middle-aged couple cried out of breath.

Qin Minye shook his head and said: "I still say what I said just now, whoever agreed to this marriage at the beginning, you will go to that person."

When he entered the courtyard, he asked the door slave to close the door for the past few days to prevent outsiders from entering.

Standing in the corridor, Li Qubing could hear it clearly. Thinking of the message brought by his own servant, Tanzhou has not been peaceful recently, and his face showed fear, he said: "Minye, if this happens again, you are not allowed to go out."

Qin Minye nodded and said, "What the little uncle said is true."

After the game of chess, the two went back to their respective study rooms to write strategies, and then read and commented on each other.

Qin Minye said in admiration: "Little uncle has made rapid progress."

Li Qubing smiled modestly and said, "My writing is still far behind yours."

Qin Minye looked at the neat ink characters on the rice paper in his hand, and praised sincerely: "Little uncle, you have been in the academy for less than a hundred days, but I have been studying in the academy for several years. Speaking of which, your talent for reading far surpasses mine."

Li Qubing put away the theory and went back to his study to study.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the two washed up in their respective bedrooms and prepared to lie down and rest.

Life in the academy was simple but not boring for Li Qubing. He got up early to practice martial arts, read books during the day, occasionally went to the suburban library to drink tea and compose poems with fellow students, and went to Dr. Hong to learn piano every three days in the evening. The arrangement was very fulfilling.

After he became the Founding Marquis, the attitudes of many people around him changed. Some students from rich and noble families only talked to Qin Minye because of his face, but now they treat him more respectfully than Qin Minye.

A few days ago, a student wanted to secretly invite him to the brothel, but he refused very directly.

He couldn't forget the sarcasm and ridicule of the four concubine children of the Qin family. If he had the time to visit brothels, he would be better off studying and practicing the piano. One day, he would go to Chang'an and pass the Jinshi exam with his own ability. They look down on people.

What's more, the Li family's family rules prohibit going to brothels without the consent of the elders.He will never violate the family rules in his life.

Suddenly, a man's anxious cry came from outside the courtyard, "The little one is the servant of Mr. Di of the Academy, and someone has a life-threatening request. Please open the door quickly."
