How could Qin Yining not be worried that things would develop in an uncontrollable direction?
However, it was useless for her to be anxious now. She could only wait for Master Zhong to find out the information before making the next step.
Qin Yining vaguely felt that Head Shopkeeper Xia's actions might have something to do with the arrest of Duchess Ding.
Qin Yining and Bing Tang chatted to pass the time. During this time, the two children woke up once. Qin Yining went to feed them again. When she coaxed the two children to sleep, it was already time to light the lanterns.
The vast courtyard of the Qin Mansion was dark and gloomy. The chilly winter wind blew through, making a sound that sounded like sobbing.
Qin Yining casually flipped through a book called "Zuo Zhuan".
In the compartment, several servant girls who were doing needlework were talking and laughing in low voices, which dispelled the desolation in the air.
In reality, Qin Yining also felt uncomfortable living here.
Her Family Family had been prosperous for a time. Not to mention the master, there were hundreds of servants in such a large residence. When she was in charge of the family, Qin Yining could still vividly remember how she held meetings with the servants to mobilize them.
However, how long had it been? Her in-laws' residence had become a gloomy old residence. Even if it was renovated, it couldn't hide the emptiness of the residence.
Qin Yining hadn't lived in this residence for long. It wasn't even as long as the time she had lived alone in the cave on the mountain. However, this residence had memories that she would never forget.
She had parents and a family here. Although there were times when she fought with Qin Yining and times when she was sad because of her mother's unhappiness and the old madam's unfairness, looking back now, those small matters of needlework really weren't worth mentioning.
As long as it didn't involve life and death, she could easily let go.
Qin Yining stared blankly at the carved lattice on the window lattice. She didn't recover until Bing Tang gently nudged her.
"What's wrong?"
"Wangfei, Master Zhong is back."
"Please come in." Qin Yining calmed himself down and ordered Bing Tang to invite her in. He also asked Ji Yun to light up the candles in the main hall.
When Master Zhong saw Qin Yining, he first bowed and then said in a low voice, "Wangfei, fortunately, I did not disappoint you. I have already investigated the background of that Historian Gao. Warden Gao was forty-nine years old at the time. He was in charge of the local prison and yamen. Although he was a low-ranking official, he had a lot of power. All the locals treated him with respect because he was the kind of person who would not be sweet when making sugar, but sour when making vinegar. Duchess Ding was taken away by him and is now being held in prison. "
"Maybe you can find out about my grandmother? How is he doing now? "
"I can't find out anything about that. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, I didn't dare to investigate in detail. "
Qin Yining nodded understandingly. "I was too anxious."
"No, Wangfei was worried about the old madame."
The two sighed at each other again. Qin Yining asked again, "Did you investigate the situation of Historian Gao's family?"
"I did. Historian Gao's family has only one son for three generations. It was especially difficult for him to have a son in his generation. He took many concubines, but he only had a son when he was thirty years old. He doted on his son like a treasure. It was like he was afraid that the child would melt in his mouth and fall in his hands.
"Perhaps it was because Historian Gao was too indulgent with his son and no one in the family dared to raise any objections. Young Master Gao was spoiled beyond recognition. He chased after chickens and dogs all day long. It was really annoying."
When Master Zhong said this, the image of an arrogant and willful playboy appeared in front of him. Qin Yining did not need to think to understand what kind of person this person was.
"Recently, before and after Historian Gao was arrested, did the manor contact anyone?"
"I didn't find out. If someone wanted to secretly incite Historian Gao to do something, I might not be able to find out. "
Qin Yining nodded in agreement and fell into deep thought for a moment.
If he wanted to save his grandmother, he must first find out why she was arrested.
It was no longer the Dayan dynasty. Therefore, even if his grandmother did the most outrageous thing, becoming the leader of the Qingtian Alliance, it could not be considered a rebellion.
Moreover, this time, she helped Li Qitian take back the throne. The power of the Qingtian Alliance had to be used. Now, it could be said that the Qingtian Alliance's existence had been recognized for the time being.
Therefore, for the time being, it could be ruled out that she was arrested for the Qingtian Alliance.
This was the territory of the Yuchi Yan. The Yuchi Yan had a smart counselor like Gu Shixiong. Therefore, Qin Yining could basically conclude that the reason for his grandmother's arrest was the same as what he had analyzed at the beginning. It must be because of Pang Xiao.
In this way, if he wanted to make the Yuchi Yan let go, he had to think of a way.
Master Zhong had also thought of Qin Yining's analysis. Since he could not directly rescue his grandmother, Master Zhong was in a difficult situation.
"Princess, why don't we ask Wang Ye? Anyway, the military camp is not far from us. If Wang Ye is willing to speak, solving the problem is just a matter of a sentence. "
Qin Yining gradually frowned as he listened. He seemed to have found the answer to the question that he had not thought through clearly in his mind.
Perhaps this was what Gu Shixiong was waiting for!
If he couldn't think of a way, he would definitely ask Pang Xiao. As long as Pang Xiao appeared, Gu Shixiong could fabricate any crime and Pang Xiao would be framed.
Li Qitian seemed to have a good relationship with them on the surface. However, in reality, he was also worried that he would not be able to get hold of Pang Xiao's weakness. If Gu Shixiong could create a "weakness" for Li Qitian to use, how could Li Qitian refuse? Although this matter was important, it would not be too late to get rid of the troublemaker after Pang Xiao had settled the matter in the south!
With this analysis, Qin Yining was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
"We can't do that. We can't ask Wang Ye." Qin Yining told Master Zhong what he had just analyzed with a serious expression.
Master Zhong was also anxious when he heard this.
"What should we do? This won't work. What other ideas do we have?"
"Don't panic. We can think of ideas. We have to think of a way to solve the problem ourselves. We can't always rely on Wang Ye. Now that we know what the County King of Yan and Gu Shixiong are after, we know that Grandmother's life will not be in danger before they achieve their goal. This period of time is enough for us to take action. "
Thinking about it carefully, it made sense. Master Zhong nodded and said, "Your Highness is right. Then we will do as you say. "
Qin Yining thought for a moment, then asked Master Zhong, "That Historian Gao's only son, what kind of person is he?"
"Your Highness, that person is really a man who doesn't abstain from anything. Even though he was not yet 20 years old, his shadow could be seen everywhere among the flowers. Last year, he had hooked up with an actress who played the role of Dan, and they had made a solemn vow of love. However, as soon as Judge Gao cut off Young Master Gao's money, Young Master Gao immediately abandoned that weak little actress. The next day, that actress's body was found in the river. It was said that the man's manhood was cut off … er, in short, it was very tragic. However, Young Master Gao, who had made a solemn vow of love with her, did not care and found a new lover.
"Recently, Young Master Gao took a liking to a girl with the surname Yu. The girl did not like him, so he plotted against Young Master Yu's father to kill him. He even had solid evidence. Old Master Yu refused to plead guilty and was beaten to death in court. Old Master Yu could not take it anymore and passed away.
"That's not all. Young Master Yu and her eight-year-old sister were sold to Yi Cui Pavilion. The brothel keeper took Young Master Gao's money and used Young Master Yu's sister as a threat to force Young Master Yu to accept customers. Young Master Gao took the opportunity to appear and play the hero to save the damsel in distress. He visited her every day and played with her high sentiments. However, Young Master Yu still did not like Young Master Gao and refused to accept him. I think Young Master Gao will not be able to tolerate it for much longer. "
Qin Yining was dumbfounded. "Such a scum is still alive in this world. This is really … However, I think I have a solution."
