Qin Yining hugged Han Ge 'er, and Bing Tang hugged Zhao Ge' er. The two of them walked in circles in the warm room with the charcoal brazier burning.
Bing Tang coaxed Zhao Ge 'er who was blinking and looking around. She asked in a low voice, "It's almost the new year. I don't know if Wang Ye will be able to come back and reunite with you."
Qin Yining smiled helplessly. "Wang Ye is tied up with military affairs. There is nothing to be done about it. It's fine if he doesn't come back for the new year. As long as he is safe in the military camp, it doesn't matter even if we are separated for a short time."
"Wang Fei is really open-minded. If it were anyone else, young couples who rarely spend time together would probably be anxious, afraid that there would be some animosity between the two of them. You, on the other hand, are not anxious at all. "
"There is no use in being anxious." Qin Yining smiled and kissed Han Ge 'er in his arms. He coaxed the child into giggling. It was so cute that one's heart would soften.
"The court is tense right now. How can I ask Wang Ye to take care of outside matters and have enough time to stay at home with me? Also, Wang Ye is not a womanizer. I know that he won't attract women. What is there to be anxious about? "
Bing Tang couldn't help but smile. "Wang Fei and Wang Ye understand each other, trust each other, and love each other. This kind of relationship is enviable."
Bing Tang still had not told her that Pang Xiao would rather not have children in order to not let Qin Yining suffer.
She had seen the relationship between Qin Yining and Pang Xiao with her own eyes. She had seen them go through trials and hardships together. Even now, they were silently sacrificing for each other. Qin Yining did not want to cause trouble for Pang Xiao. He did not tell Pang Xiao that his grandmother had been arrested. He used schemes to solve it himself.
If they could have such a good person, they would not feel pity even if they sacrificed their lives for each other.
She coaxed the two children to sleep just as Master Zhong came back from outside.
Qin Yining went to the front hall to meet Master Zhong.
"How's Lu Dehan doing?" Qin Yining asked with a smile.
Lu Dehan was one of the victims that Qin Yining sold the "Ning Garden" that Pang Xiao gave her to save when Da Zhou's army besieged the city and the Yan dynasty suffered from drought and famine.
Later, Qin Yining went to Da Zhou with his father. People like Lu Dehan and Liu Jiu 'er stayed behind in Dayan to work in her field. Lu Dehan and Liu Jiuer had known Qin Yining for a long time. Qin Yining had saved their lives, so they were loyal to Qin Yining.
This time, they needed a new face to support the congee factory. Qin Yining naturally thought of them. After discussing with Mr. Liao and Master Zhong, they decided that when it was inconvenient for Zhao Wanjin and Zhao Yinuo to appear, they would use Lu Dehan.
"Lu Dehan works seriously, and he is simple and honest. Right now, he has changed his clothes and is only focused on guarding the congee factory. The victims won't starve. Wang Fei, don't worry."
"That's good." Qin Yining said with a smile.
"Wang Fei is doing good deeds that save lives. Lu Dehan was also saved by Wang Fei. Now that you have ordered him to do such a good deed, he is 100% willing. He is also full of praise for Wang Fei and Wang Ye's characters. He keeps saying, 'Wang Ye and Wang Fei have done such a good deed, but I can't announce that I did it. I'm really wronged.' "
Qin Yining shook his head and laughed. "It's not like it's a good name. Some things will cause trouble if you yell at a meeting."
"But some people do good deeds for the sake of reputation. Compared to you doing things silently, those who only do it for the sake of reputation are nothing. "
"Those who can do good deeds for the sake of reputation are also good people. If there are more people like that, the pressure on us to give out congee might be reduced. "
Qin Yining lowered his voice and asked, "Have Zhao Yinuo and the others found out about the situation in the prison? Do they know where my grandmother and Zhao Wanjin are locked up? "
Master Zhong said with a smile, "They should have found out. Liao Zhibing and Zhao Yinuo didn't tell me in detail. I think they will personally tell you when they come back. "
Qin Yining nodded and chatted with Master Zhong about the farmstead and the congee.
After an hour, Liao Zhibing and Zhao Yinuo also returned.
"Wang Fei, we have already found out about the situation. We have seen the old alliance head's cell and also found out where my older brother is. "
Zhao Yinuo's expression was extremely ugly. Without waiting for Qin Yining to ask, she said, "The old alliance head's life is not in danger and she wasn't tortured. However, the cell she was locked up in was a wooden cage. She could only curl up inside. There was no beating, no scolding, and no one interrogated her. However, it was very uncomfortable! When our brothers investigated, they found that the hair on the side of the old alliance head's temples had all turned white. She was completely haggard. "
Qin Yining's heart clenched when he heard this. His hands tightly clenched his sleeves, and the sweat on his palms soaked his sleeves.
She couldn't reveal her worries and uneasiness in front of her subordinates. If she panicked, how could she control them? However, she couldn't suppress the pain and uneasiness in her heart no matter what.
"Then what about Hall Leader Zhao?"
"My older brother is still fine. He only suffered some superficial wounds and was whipped. However, my older brother's martial arts skills are high and he is a dual cultivator. These superficial wounds won't affect him at all. Moreover, he has already caused trouble in prison twice. He killed two prisoners who were deliberately looking for trouble and had a strong background. This made Historian Gao so angry that his nose almost became crooked. "
This matter was the second part of Qin Yining's plan.
After Historian Gao incited the dissatisfaction of all the poor people, he used the matter in prison to incite the dissatisfaction of the rich people.
Qin Yining had already investigated the two prisoners that Zhao Wanjin had killed.
Which of the rich and the officials didn't have dirty and dirty matters in their manors? There were also many masters who killed people. If they broke the law, as long as they used their connections, they could find a scapegoat to replace them in prison. No matter how much they moved outside, even if they were on death row, they could be released after a year or so.
As for the people who replaced their masters in prison, most of them were loyal servants of their masters. Some of them were hoodlums that were bought with large amounts of money. In addition, there were also some rich second generations who originally had a strong background. These people formed a group of mavericks in prison.
They weren't really in prison for real. Apart from the fact that their living conditions were slightly worse, it wasn't impossible for them to live a good life in prison after bribing the prison guards.
She had told Zhao Wanjin to look for those with strong backgrounds in prison and kill two of those who had committed all kinds of evil to establish their authority.
Historian Gao was in charge of arresting criminals in the local prison and seemed to be quite popular. If these prisoners with strong backgrounds lost their lives in front of Historian Gao, then the rich people would point their fingers at Historian Gao.
Qin Yining said, "It's all thanks to Hall Leader Zhao. However, he was injured because of this. If there's a way, find an opportunity to send some medicine to him. At the very least, don't injure his foundation."
At this point, Qin Yining said apologetically, "In the end, it was because of my arrangements that Hall Leader Zhao was injured. I really feel bad about it."
"Hey! Alliance Master, what are you saying? We're people of the jianghu, and we have to be loyal to our friends. Even if we lose our arms and legs in order to save the old Alliance Master, it's worth it. Furthermore, we're all rough people with thick skin and tough bones. A few superficial wounds are nothing. Alliance Master, please don't take it to heart. "
"If you don't take it to heart, then that's because you're loyal to your friends. However, I can't watch Hall Leader Zhao suffer with a clear conscience. I can only think of a way to make it up to him after the plan succeeds. "
Qin Yining still felt very apologetic.
Zhao Yinuo casually waved her hand. Qin Yining was a benevolent alliance master. He wouldn't joke around with the lives of his subordinates. Even if they suffered some superficial wounds, she would still feel guilty, let alone when their lives were in danger.
It was the alliance members' fortune to be able to follow such a benevolent alliance master.

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, it started snowing in the old capital. Heavy snowflakes fluttered in the air, covering the entire dusty old capital with a layer of snow-white velvet carpet. The collapsed buildings and the cracked, mottled walls appeared even more dusty and dilapidated after the earthquake.
At this time, all the servants in the Yang Residence were very busy.
Tomorrow was New Year's Eve. Although the residence had been completely cleaned on the day of the Little New Year, the snow that fell to the ground today was half-melted. When people stepped on it, it would turn into a puddle of mud. Magistrate Yang liked cleanliness. If they offended him, they wouldn't be able to have a good New Year.
When Librarian Gao was led into the residence by a servant, he saw that the courtyard was full of busy servants.
He walked along the bluestone brick path to the study in the outer courtyard. A servant went in to report. Not long after, he came out and said, "Librarian Gao, the Magistrate invites you in."
