With such chaos in the city, there were those who were not afraid of trouble who came out to watch the commotion. Naturally, there were more people who were afraid that they would be implicated and closed their doors. The whole family gathered together in fear, afraid that something even more chaotic would happen in the city.
Qin Yining was protected by Mu Jinghu and Ji Yun. They watched coldly as the assassins were beaten up by the commoners. Their heads were bleeding and they fell to the ground and were mercilessly trampled on.
Qin Yu and Qin Han swung their sticks and beat the people on the ground to death. As long as they thought of their family members who had died tragically, they would have endless energy. They were so tired that their robes were soaked with sweat, but they refused to stop. They wished that they could beat the assassins into minced meat.
Seeing that there was nothing to worry about, Qin Yining said, "There's nothing for us to do here. Let's go, we have to quickly go to Master Zhong's place."
"Yes." Ji Yun did not ask any further. She helped Qin Yining into the carriage and got in as well.
Mu Jinghu sat on the shaft of the carriage outside. As the coachman drove the carriage, he curiously sized up the scene in the city.
One had to know that such an important matter as cleaning up the emperor's subordinates was not something that anyone could do in their lifetime.
The coachman took a secluded route and took a long detour before arriving at the Zhong residence.
When Master Zhong saw that Qin Yining had personally come, he was very surprised.
"Master, didn't you go up the mountain today?" He led Qin Yining into the house and instructed the servants to serve tea. He then said, "You don't look very well. Are you feeling better?"
"I'm fine. I'm just taking care of the rest. Something happened on the mountain today. Fortunately, it has been resolved. Did Head Shopkeeper see the chaos in the city? "
Master Zhong seemed to still have some lingering fear. "Don't mention it. When I saw Prince Ning leading his troops into the city, I knew something was wrong. I was so scared that I hurriedly closed our shop. I just got home myself. "
The servants served tea. Master Zhong took it and personally served it to Qin Yining. Then, he sent the servants away and forbade them from walking around outside.
Qin Yining took the tea and thanked him with a smile. He took a few mouthfuls and moistened his dry throat. Then, he concisely recounted what had happened on Cui Yun Mountain today.
Master Zhong was dumbfounded when he heard this. He muttered, "Did the boss capture all the assassins?"
"They've all been arrested. When they entered the city just now, the citizens knew that those people were assassins from Da Zhou. They were so agitated that they surrounded them. I'm afraid that they'll be beaten to death. My father received the imperial edict not to kill the assassins. Seeing that the common people had no other choice, and hearing that Ning Wang had led troops to surround the Imperial Palace, he was anxious, angry, and afraid, and fainted. My Second Uncle and Third Uncle hurriedly sent someone home, so I had the time to come here. "
Although this was what he said, how could a smart person like Master Zhong not understand the meaning behind his words? If Qin Huaiyuan really was in trouble, why would Qin Yining have the leisure to come here?
Master Zhong smiled. In his heart, he secretly praised Qin Yining and Qin Huaiyuan's plan. He also despised the Emperor for forbidding the Family Qin from killing the assassins for revenge. However, what he said was very "righteous".
"It's no wonder that the Marquis was so anxious that he fainted. Not to mention the Marquis, even common people like me were scared out of their wits when they learned that Ning Wang had led troops to charge in. Ning Wang's actions have never been methodical. What if the Emperor … Ay! What should we do then? "
As he spoke, he shook his head worriedly.
Qin Yining smiled. Master Zhong was truly a wonderful person.
"What happens to His Majesty isn't something we should worry about. Although I want to save His Majesty, I don't have the ability. I can only pray in my heart that His Majesty is blessed. "As Qin Yining spoke, he put his hands together and bowed to the sky.
When Master Zhong saw this, he smiled and followed suit.
However, when the two of them looked at each other, they couldn't help but let out a "pfft".
In recent days, this was Qin Yining's happiest day.
She thought for a moment, then whispered in Master Zhong's ear, "There's one more thing. Ning Wang led troops to clean up the Emperor's side. I'm afraid the Cao Family won't benefit from this and will probably flee. My maternal grandmother and the others are definitely not in the city right now, so they probably don't know what's going on here. Think of a way to send them a message. " At this point, Qin Yining lowered his voice and said, "Just say that this opportunity has finally been created. Ask them to seize the opportunity."
Zhong Dazhang had actually long known that the Alliance Head of the Qingtian Alliance was Duchess Ding. However, the Qingtian Alliance was a rebel in the end. If he carelessly spoke of this kind of thing, it would be greatly disadvantageous to Qin Yining. It might even lead to a fatal disaster. Thus, he didn't dare to publicize it.
That day, the Qingtian Alliance's people broke into the Marquis of Anping's Estate to rescue people. In essence, it was Duchess Ding's arrangement. These days, because such a big matter had happened in the Marquis of Anping's Estate, Duchess Ding was worried and had remained in the outskirts of the city. Master Zhong also knew where they were.
"Alright, there's no time to lose. I'll immediately go personally to deliver the message." As Master Zhong spoke, he actually felt like he was itching for a fight. There was always a kind of anticipation that the world was about to change.
Qin Yining exhorted again, "You have to be careful. It's not a small matter for Prince Ning to lead troops to clean up the Emperor's subordinates. The city is too chaotic today. You have to watch your family's door closely. There will always be people who take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble. In these troubled times, you have to be on guard."
Upon hearing this, Master Zhong trembled. He hurriedly nodded and said, "Thank you, Master, for reminding me. I was so excited that I forgot about the door. I'll go arrange it later.
"That's good. When you see my grandmother, tell her to pay more attention to the exits near the Cao family's residence. I'm guessing that a family like the Cao family will definitely leave some secret escape routes just in case. As long as it's a secret passage, the exit must be at a place that won't arouse suspicion but won't be too far away. However, my grandmother is very resourceful. She'll think of it even without my reminder. In addition, Master Zhong also has to tell my grandmother to evacuate quickly after taking revenge. Don't let down your guard just because you've taken your revenge. "
"Yes, Master, don't worry. I'll definitely pass on your message."
Qin Yining did what he had to do.
After thinking for a while, he got up and bid farewell.
After leaving the Zhong family's residence, Mu Jinghu asked, "Are we going to watch the show?"
"Watch the show?" Qin Yining smiled and said, "My status is special. Although I want to watch the show, I have to avoid this kind of occasion."
Mu Jinghu frowned regretfully. "It's a pity. I've never seen such a rare occasion like cleaning up the emperor's concubines."
Qin Yining couldn't help but laugh at his childish words. It was hard to imagine that someone like Pang Xiao would have such a simple-minded and slow-witted friend.
Because he had to protect Qin Yining, Mu Jinghu naturally couldn't watch the show alone. Thus, he escorted him back to the marquis's residence.
Meanwhile, in the palace, the Empress sat trembling in the Emperor's arms. Her tears had soaked the Emperor's shoulders.
"Your Majesty, chenqie will stay here. Please leave quickly! Ning Wang is obviously coveting the throne with ill intentions. chenqie will stay here to deal with him. Please think of a way to hide quickly! "
"What are you saying? How can zhen leave you behind and leave first?" The Emperor hugged the Empress and their cheeks were pressed against each other.
At this moment, the sounds of fighting outside the hall were getting closer and closer. Ning Wang's rough voice roared, "Imperial Brother, hand over that slut and chenqie, chenqie will not touch you. Chenqie must give the world an explanation today!"
