Song Qingshu was stunned for a moment, then realized that the current situation was indeed a bit easy to misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained, "You misunderstood, I am …"
Unfortunately, before he finished speaking, a group of people swarmed up and surrounded him, the tips of the swords in their hands flashing with cold light, as if they were going to cut him at any time.
Song Qingshu felt strange, how could there be so many people, wasn't he the only guard accompanying them? Looking carefully, from the clothes of these people, he recognized that they should be the guards of the merchant ship.
"The criminal is someone else, I just came in." Song Qingshu said quickly, at the same time tightly holding the hilt of the sword at his waist, he was on guard, he didn't want to be killed here.
However, his temples were slightly sweating, after all, he couldn't use his internal energy, with so many people attacking together, he wasn't sure he could come out unscathed.
Fortunately, as a guard of the Prime Minister's residence, these people didn't know his actual situation, they were also afraid of him, so they didn't immediately rush over.
But this was only a temporary situation, Song Qingshu understood that this balance wouldn't be maintained for long, after all, they had the advantage in numbers, once someone took the lead, they would all rush over.
"The young madam was drugged, wake her up and ask her," Song Qingshu said quickly.
Taohong opened her mouth, but the other party's words were reasonable, she couldn't refuse, so she could only order those people, "Watch him!" Then she ran to the bed to wake Qi Fang up.
Seeing that Qi Fang didn't respond after she called a few times, Song Qingshu frowned, "She was drugged, you can't wake her up like this, quickly find some water and put it on her face."
Taohong seemed to have caught something, pointed at him and said, "You even know that the young madam was drugged, and you still say it wasn't you?"
Song QingShu sneered. "This is common knowledge that must be learned in the martial world. As the Prime Minister's bodyguard, how could I not know? Hmph, uneducated people are really terrible. "He deliberately pointed out that he was the Prime Minister's guard, just to make these people hesitate to attack.
Taohong's face turned red from his sarcasm, but unfortunately, there was nothing she could do, she could only wake Qi Fang up first.
Ah ~
Taohong gets some water and puts it on her face. Qi Fang finally wakes up.
"What's going on?" Qi Fang vaguely saw that there were many more people in the room, so she couldn't react for a moment.
"It's like this … …" Taohong was about to add oil to the fire when Qi Fang suddenly noticed that she was naked. She couldn't help but scream and hurriedly grabbed the quilt on her body, for fear that there would be a little bit of exposure.
"How could this be …" Qi Fang's mind went blank, and her eyes became dull as she muttered to herself.
"Don't worry, Young Madam. I came in just in time. That scoundrel ran away before he could do anything. Young Madam shouldn't have suffered any injuries." Song Qingshu said, "On the contrary, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate for so many men to squeeze into Madam's room. Why don't we ask them to leave first?"
"Ah … Okay …" Qi Fang wasn't used to being surrounded by so many men. Now that she wasn't wearing any clothes under the bed, she was so embarrassed that she almost found a hole to hide in.
"Young Madam, don't be fooled by this thief." Taohong hurriedly interrupted Qi Fang. "Just now, he broke into Young Madam's room and was about to do something bad. Fortunately, we ran into him."
"It's you!" Qi Fang turned around and glared at Song QingShu. Her beautiful eyes were filled with rage. After all, as soon as she woke up, she was stripped naked, and she was almost violated. No woman could accept such a drastic change.
"Young Madam, don't misunderstand. I noticed a thief sneaking up the stairs, so I came out to investigate and found that he had entered Young Madam's room. I asked Young Madam several times outside the door, but there was no response. I was worried that something had happened, so I came in." Song Qingshu was not in a hurry, and in just a few words, he restored the situation just now.
"Huh?" Qi Fang frowned slightly, and for a moment, she was also puzzled.
"You make it sound better than you sing!" Taohong sneered. "It's obvious that you are bold. At night, I accidentally found you sneaking into Young Madam's room. Unfortunately, I am a weak woman, and I dare not come out to stop you. My life is small, but if I can't save Young Madam, I will die a thousand times. So I hurriedly ran down to find Mr. Du and asked him to summon his guards to rush up together. I just happened to see you preparing to do something bad to Young Madam!"
The Mr. Du she mentioned was the owner of this merchant ship. After all, the world was in chaos. It would be difficult for a person who traveled all over the world without some bodyguards.
Song Qingshu was shocked and angry. "What nonsense are you talking about? With which eye did you see me? I just knocked on your door, but there was no movement inside. I thought you were also drugged. "
His mind turned quickly. Why did Taohong say that she saw me? Could it be that the thief had deliberately changed my clothes to confuse her, or … this was originally a conspiracy against me?
But now he was Brother Xiong. He had specially inquired about him before. Except that he did not get along well with Zhang Quan, he did not have any enmity with anyone. But even if it was Zhang Quan, in order to frame him, he made such a big scene and even involved the mistress. Did he have such courage?
Qi Fang was drugged, and now she still felt a splitting headache when she woke up. Hearing Taohong and Song Qingshu's different statements, her expression was also surprised and uncertain. "Mr. Du, is what Taohong said just now true?"
The fat middle-aged man respectfully saluted: "Replying to Young Madam's question, just now Taohong did run to me in a panic, saying that a thief had broken into Young Madam's room. I hurriedly brought some people over and just happened to see Guard Xiong standing in front of Young Madam's bed."
He secretly complained in his heart. This time, he was very happy to send the Young Madam of the Prime Minister's Mansion back to Lin 'an. He just thought that he had a connection with the Prime Minister's Mansion. Who knew that something would happen on the first night. How could he explain it to the Prime Minister's Mansion?
At this time, Taohong spoke again. "Brother Xiong, you just said that you saw someone coming up the stairs, so you came out."
"Yes." Song Qingshu replied faintly. He had calmed down. Tonight's matter was clearly a trap. As the saying goes, soldiers with arms, water with an earth weir, water with an earth weir. He wanted to see what tricks the other party was playing.
"That's strange. Mr. Du's people have been guarding at the bottom of the stairs. Did they see anyone coming up?" Taohong looked at Mr. Du.
"Absolutely not!" Mr. Du said while wiping the sweat on his fat face. "I was worried that some people would disturb Madam's rest, so I specially ordered my men to guard below and not allow anyone to come up to disturb."
"Sixi, Wang Er, you also live in the room at the top of the stairs. Did you see any suspicious people coming up?" Taohong turned to look at the two accompanying servants in the Prime Minister's Mansion and asked.
"No, no." The two servants shook their heads like rattle drums.
Taohong then turned to look at Song Qingshu. "Brother Xiong, when we came in just now, were you lifting Madam's quilt?"
"Ah?" Qi Fang exclaimed and looked nervously at Song Qingshu. She thought that she was not wearing anything now. If he really lifted the quilt, wouldn't he see everything?
Song QingShu frowned, but eventually nodded. "That's right."
Getting his confirmation, Qi Fang almost fainted.
"Brother Xiong, what else do you have to say now?" Taohong stared at him with a proud face.
Song Qingshu was too lazy to pay attention to her. He looked directly at Qi Fang and calmly said, "At that time, I was just worried that Young Madam was injured, so I lifted the quilt to check. I didn't expect …"
"Don't say it!" Qi Fang hurriedly interrupted him. Her pretty face was so red that it was about to drip blood. Now she was hiding in the quilt, and other people did not know what had happened. If they knew that she had been seen naked, how could she face others in the future?
"Mr. Du, this time such a big thing happened on your ship. As the owner of the ship, you can't escape the blame, right?" Taohong moved to Mr. Du's side and whispered.
Mr. Du was in a cold sweat and whispered, "I hope you can put in a good word for me in front of Young Madam. After this, I will definitely give you a generous gift to thank you."
The corner of Taohong's mouth rose slightly. She pointed to Song Qingshu and said, "First, punish this evil slave on the spot as a warning to others!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Mr. Du gritted his teeth and waved his hand. "Kill him!"
Song Qingshu's heart trembled. Just as he was about to fight, Qi Fang suddenly said, "Wait!"
Among all the people present, she was the most distinguished. Mr. Du's men stopped when they heard her.
Taohong hurriedly ran to her side and said, "Young Madam, why keep such a thief alive!"
Qi Fang also showed hesitation, but in the end, she shook her head and said, "I don't like killing, and I don't want anyone to die because of me. Lock him up first, and wait for Third Brother to come back and deal with him when we get to Lin 'an."
Song Qingshu took the opportunity to say, "In order to show my innocence, I am willing to surrender. After returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, I will thoroughly investigate what happened today." After that, he threw the weapon in his hand on the ground. When the people around saw this, they immediately surrounded him and tied him up.
Qi Fang's heart moved and she looked at him in surprise. Taohong hurriedly said, "Young Madam, don't be deceived by him. He knows that he is surrounded by so many people and can't escape, so he deliberately pretends to be righteous."
Song Qingshu smiled faintly and said, "Whether it is right or wrong, there will be a day when the water comes to the bottom."
Qi Fang looked at him in surprise again. She never expected that a servant would reveal such a unique and outstanding temperament.
Noticing her expression, Taohong secretly cursed and was about to speak, but Qi Fang said, "That's it. Take him away and keep a good watch. In addition, let the others get out. "
She was still naked. Although she was covered with a quilt, under the gaze of so many men, she really didn't want to stay a moment longer.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Boss Du nodded and bowed. "I will send more people, and I will never let anyone disturb Madam again."
"No need, you just guard downstairs." Qi Fang was going to take a bath and change clothes later. How could she be willing to have other men outside?
"No problem, no problem." Boss Du asked his men to take Song Qingshu out. It didn't take long for the people in the room to be evacuated, leaving only Taohong and the two servants.
"Taohong, prepare a set of clean clothes for me. I want to take a bath and change clothes. Si Xi, Wang Er, you go to the door and guard. No one is allowed to come in." After today's events, Qi Fang only dared to trust these former people of the Wan Mansion.
