Although Ji Yun did not know which sect Mu Jinghu was from, she had already seen his ability to subdue the assassins in the blink of an eye. Furthermore, she had seen this person before when she was with Pang Xiao, so she was even more certain that this person was trustworthy. She stood up and said, "Many thanks to young master. I will have to trouble young master to wait at the door for a moment. I have to go back to my family's Marquis first."
Although Mu Jinghu was somewhat slow-witted and did not have much contact with the affairs of the world, he was not a fool. Thinking that there was a difference between men and women, he indeed should wait at the door. He grabbed the assassins' collars with each hand and carried them like two pieces of wood into the courtyard. He turned around and picked up another one, placing them in a line with the previous two, and stood in front of the study with his hands behind his back.
Seeing him like this, Ji Yun smiled gratefully and took the bag of medicine to find Qin Huaiyuan.
Qin Huaiyuan had just sent away the people from the Five Cities Warden's Office. At this time, he saw Ji Yun, who was fine just now, rushing over with injuries all over her body. He was so frightened that his face turned pale. "What happened? Didn't I tell you to serve Miss well? "
Ji Yun bowed and led Qin Huaiyuan to the side. She whispered, "Just now, three assassins came. Their martial arts were much better than the previous group of assassins. I could not fend them off and was injured. Fortunately, the swordsman sent by Little Wang Ye to protect Miss arrived in time and took down the three assassins. This is the medicine that the swordsman gave me. Master, please ask the doctor to see if it is effective. "
Qin Huaiyuan took the medicine and held it in his hand. How could his intelligent mind not understand the crux of the matter?
That group of people seemed to have planned this beforehand. First, they arranged for a large group of people to try their best to exterminate the family. Then, they arranged for people to feign an attack on the palace so that the people from the Five Cities Warden's Office would not be able to rescue them in time. If they really did not succeed, they could also find a target and secretly attack Qin Yining when they let their guard down.
And these people must have been arranged by the Emperor of Da Zhou.
After all, those who had ascended to the throne had a certain degree of faith in the Mandate of Heaven.
Just like the Dayan Emperor, regardless of whether he believed that the existence of Qin Yining could guarantee the stability of Dayan, he would not touch Qin Yining.
The Zhou Emperor also thought that regardless of whether it would work or not, he would kill Qin Yining first to destroy this "protective talisman".
Qin Huaiyuan gritted his teeth. He turned around and called for an imperial physician to examine the medicine first.
The imperial physician carefully examined the medicine and clicked his tongue in wonder. "Marquis, this medicine is excellent. Although this old man does not understand the prescription, I know that the method used is brilliant."
Qin Huaiyuan nodded and expressed his thanks before instructing the physician to treat Ji Yun's injuries. He then quickly walked towards the outer courtyard's study.
Ji Yun was worried about Qin Yining and only said that she would be fine after applying a little medicine. She also followed Qin Huaiyuan out.
At this time, the sky was already turning white. The three black-clothed assassins lying horizontally in the courtyard of the outer courtyard's study were still in the same position they were in when their acupoints were sealed.
A tall and thin man wearing a light gray patched gown stood in the corridor with his hands behind his back. Behind him was a tightly shut door and a window with a hole in it.
Qin Huaiyuan and Ji Yun entered the courtyard and first sized up Mu Jinghu.
Mu Jinghu also looked at Qin Huaiyuan. His eyes were calm and stupefied. After a while, he seemed to have understood something. He went down the stairs and cupped his hands. "Hello, Uncle."
Qin Huaiyuan was very surprised. He felt that this young master seemed to be somewhat ignorant of the ways of the world. Who would address someone as "Uncle" when they first met? It would inevitably make people feel that he was being overly familiar with them or trying to curry favor.
However, Qin Huaiyuan still bowed seriously. "Hero, this old man is unable to repay you for saving my daughter today. If you need this old man's help in the future, this old man will definitely do his best to repay your kindness!"
"Uncle, please don't be so polite. My surname is Mu. Many people call me Blockhead. If Uncle doesn't mind, you can also call me Blockhead." Mu Jinghu hurriedly supported him. He glanced at the three people lying on the ground and said, "Let's tie these three up first. Do you need me to help interrogate them? I can make them wish they were dead, and they won't suffer any physical injuries. "
As he spoke, he seemed very pleased with himself and wagged his finger.
Qin Huaiyuan did not have any ill feelings towards this overly familiar young man in front of him. On the contrary, he had seen a lot of things and his ability to observe people was top-notch. Although this young master was dressed shabbily, he was clean from head to toe. Moreover, he had a pair of calm and clear eyes. A person with such eyes must be a kind-hearted person.
Perhaps he was the disciple of a reclusive expert, which was why he was so ignorant of worldly affairs.
"Many thanks to Young Master Mu." Qin Huaiyuan turned around and instructed Ji Yun, "Go find a rope to tie them up. Now that the residence is in chaos, there is a shortage of manpower. Young Miss, please forgive me."
Ji Yun was overwhelmed by the favor and said repeatedly, "Marquis is too polite. This servant doesn't dare."
"Don't mention it. I still have to thank you for saving Sister Yi. " Qin Huaiyuan couldn't bring himself to mention Pang Xiao because of the three people on the ground, so he said, "Young Master Mu, do you want to settle them down first?"
"En … that's fine. Why don't I rest nearby? I've been entrusted with a task, so I have to fulfill it. I promised to protect her well, so I still have to do my best."
"That's fine too. Young Master, please do as you wish. The residence has encountered a disaster, and the residence is in chaos. I hope Young Master Mu can forgive me for not taking care of you well, "Qin Huaiyuan said politely.
Mu Jinghu waved his hand repeatedly and said with a smile, "Uncle, you don't have to be so polite. We're all on the same side. "
Qin Huaiyuan was worried about Qin Yining, so he didn't continue to be courteous with this honest person. He first went into the house to check on Qin Yining.
Although the house was in chaos, Qin Yining's location was well protected. She had a handkerchief on her head. Because of her fever, the cold handkerchief had long become a hot one.
Qin Huaiyuan personally soaked the handkerchief in cold water and placed it on her forehead. He sighed in melancholy.
At this moment, Ji Yun had already tied her up. She entered the house and said, "Marquis, this servant will serve Young Miss."
"That's fine. When the sky brightens, I'll think of a way to get someone to come over. "
Qin Huaiyuan indeed had a lot of things to do. He still had to take care of the chaotic family. He still had to handle the funeral of the deceased, appease the emotions of his family members, and bribe the officials. Now that the sky was bright, the relatives and friends who came to offer their condolences would also come. He had to take care of all these matters alone. Although he really wanted to take care of Qin Yining, he really couldn't.
Qin Huaiyuan patted Qin Yining's head again, sighed, and got up to leave.
Overnight, the news of the imperial palace being set on fire and the destruction of the Family Qin spread like wildfire.
When Bing Tang, who was still helping out at Prince Ning's residence, heard the news, he was scared out of his wits. He couldn't wait to go with Prince Ning and hurriedly rushed back.
Riding on his horse, Bing Tang turned the corner and saw the open door of the Family Qin, the bloodstains on the ground, and the charred house behind the door. He was so scared that he almost fainted.
Bing Tang immediately jumped off his horse and rushed into the residence with his medical box. Because he was in a hurry, he didn't see the road clearly and bumped into Master Zhong, who was also running into the residence.
"Head Shopkeeper?"
"Miss Bing Tang! Is the boss alright? "
"I don't know. I just came back from the residence."
"Aiya! What should we do? "
The two ran into the residence like headless flies and bumped into a servant with a white mourning ribbon around his waist. Only then did he ask about the situation in the residence.
"The mourning hall is in the main hall."
When Bing Tang heard about the mourning hall, he was so scared that he grabbed the servant's arm, "Who exactly went there?"
The servant covered his face and cried, "Many people died. My brother is also dead! Third Madam, Young Mistress, Lord Jiu, a few ladies, and many sisters and nannies in the inner residence are all dead! "
"Where's Fourth Young Mistress?!" Master Zhong roared.
The servant choked with sobs, "Fourth Young Mistress was slashed with a knife. I don't know if she can survive. She's in the inner residence now."
When Bing Tang and Master Zhong heard this, they immediately rushed towards the Chuihua Gate.
