Chapter 357 Old acquaintance
Jiang Qibin looked around, came over, and said in a low voice, "The young prince of the Zhenguo Duke has escaped from prison."
"The Duke of Zhenguo... Previously, the women of the Duke of Zhenguo committed suicide in a brothel, and now the Duke of Zhenguo's youngest son has escaped from prison. Why does it feel like someone is trying to wipe out the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion?"
"Hush." Jiang Qibin whispered, "We received instructions from above to find him. As for what's going on in the Zhenguo Mansion, we small-time people have no right to ask. We can only follow orders."
"I understand." Qin Huiyin understood. "Don't worry, we won't tell anyone about it."
Jiang Qibin saw someone coming from the front, asked Qin Huiyin to retract her head, and then greeted the person coming from the front.
"Deputy Commander Jiang, who is in here that requires you to escort them personally?"
"Don't look. There are several female relatives inside. If you look around here randomly, you won't offend the official's daughter." Jiang Qibin said with a smile, "Does the new top scholar Tang Zhongcheng know about it?"
"So it's the women from Lord Tang's family. I apologize for my rudeness. Then you continue with your work, and the brothers will continue the search."
After those people left, Jiang Qibin explained to Qin Huiyin: "Sister Huiyin, don't think too much. The main reason is that your brother from the Tang family is the Chief Censor and a highly regarded new champion. Bringing out his name will help suppress these people. Our boss has many rivals. If they knew you were his sister, they would probably cause trouble for you. Our boss doesn't want him to affect your life."
"I understand, Brother Qibin." Qin Huiyin said, "My brother has not had an easy time. I have always known that."
Jiang Qibin finally sent them to the door of the Tang family, said goodbye to them, and rode away on horseback.
The carriage drove into the Tang residence, and several young girls got off. Zhilan waited on Qin Huiyin and returned to her courtyard, while Minghui waited on Tang Luwu and returned to hers.
Qin Huiyin changed her shoes and put on homemade slippers, then changed out of her cumbersome clothes and put on her home clothes. She sat in front of the dressing table and asked Zhilan to take off all the jewelry on her head.
"Yinyin..." Tang Luwu ran in. "Something happened."
"What's wrong?" Qin Huiyin turned around and looked at her.
Tang Luwu was still dressed the same way as before.
"Just come with me and you'll know." Tang Luwu pulled Qin Huiyin out.
She took her to the yard next door, which was Tang Luwu's Luwu yard.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw a man lying on the big bed. He was unkempt, skinny, and looked extremely miserable. His facial features were so familiar that it was impossible not to recognize him.
"Brother Wei Feng?" Qin Huiyin frowned, "Why did he become like this?"
"Yinyin, do you remember what Jiang Qibin said just now?" Tang Luwu reminded her.
Qin Huiyin said solemnly, "Zhilan, go see if my eldest brother has returned. If he has, invite him over immediately. If he hasn't returned yet, ask the concierge to pass on the message and ask him to come over as soon as he returns."
Zhilan came back soon and said that Tang Yichen had not returned yet.
"Yinyin, he's seriously injured. If left untreated, he might not survive," Tang Luwu said. "We don't dare to call in a doctor from outside. The only solution is to have my younger brother come back, but he's in the Imperial Hospital."
"We have no way to contact my younger brother at this hour. If my eldest brother were here, he would probably be able to find a way."
Zhilan reminded Qin Huiyin: "Second Miss, the eldest master is back."
Qin Huiyin and Tang Luwu looked towards the door and saw Tang Yichen, wearing an official robe, striding in.
"What happened?" Tang Yichen asked.
"Brother, come and see who this is." Tang Luwu pointed at the big bed.
Tang Yichen looked in the direction of her finger and saw a disheveled man with a frown on his face.
This was Tang Luwu's boudoir, and there was actually a man sleeping in her bed, and he was such a slovenly man. As a brother, how could he not frown?
However, he understood Tang Luwu.
He took a few steps closer, parted the man's messy hair, and finally saw his appearance clearly.
"This..." Tang Yichen's face changed drastically, and he shouted, "Zhang Zhen."
"I'm here." Zhang Zhen came in from outside.
"Contact the Imperial Hospital and ask the Second Young Master to come back. Tell him...his sister is ill and ask him to come back for a consultation." Tang Yichen said, "Go quickly."
"Yes."
Tang Luwu took out a cloak from the closet next to her, put it on Qin Huiyin, and said, "You are wearing too little. Don't get cold."
"Thank you, sister." Qin Huiyin wrapped her cloak tightly and said to Tang Yichen, "Brother, we came back from the Gong family today and encountered a search by the military officers, and then..."
She described what Jiang Qibin said.
"Do you remember when we went to West City and saw the women of the Zhenguo Mansion committing suicide en masse? If I remember correctly, tomorrow is the day the men of the Zhenguo Mansion will be taken to Caishikou and beheaded. The Zhenguo Duke has fought in battles for decades and made great military achievements. He is a god of war in the hearts of the people, but now they have become traitors. Although the reputation of the Zhenguo Mansion among the people has declined a lot, there are still many people who don't believe he is that kind of person. Killing the Zhenguo Duke at this time is bound to cause public outrage. The person in the palace should not be so foolish."
"No wonder Brother Xue disappeared not long after I arrived in Beijing. It turns out something really happened to him." Tang Yichen said, "How did he end up here?"
Minghui, who was standing next to Tang Luwu, explained, "After we came back, the young lady lost an earring, so she went back to the carriage to look for it. Just as we found the earring, we heard a thud, and then this young man rolled out from under the carriage. Judging from the scene, he must have been hanging on to the bottom of the carriage the entire time. His ten fingers are covered in blood; I'm afraid he must have used up all his remaining strength."
"This matter must not be made public. Your indentures are in our hands. If anyone else knew about this, it would be a disaster for everyone in the mansion. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Don't worry, sir. We wouldn't dare to betray our master for personal gain," Zhilan said.
Minghui also expressed loyalty.
Zhang Zhen came back and brought Tang Yixiao back.
Tang Yi smiled, holding the medicine box, and asked, "Which sister is sick?"
"Zhang Zhen, go guard outside and don't let anyone come near here." Tang Yichen said.
Zhang Zhen closed the door.
Tang Yi smiled and looked at them in confusion: "What's going on?"
"Come and take a look at him." Tang Yichen moved his body to reveal Xue Weifeng on the bed.
"Who is this?" Tang Yixiao put down the medicine box, sat on the edge of the bed, and complained, "How can he sleep in my eldest sister's bed? We have so many empty rooms in our house. Wait a minute, who is this..."
Xue Weifeng.
Tang Yixiao also recognized it.
