Qin Yining smiled and said: "I know, although we outsiders don't know about the internal strife of the Qiu family, but Qiu Feishan deliberately led me here, I don't think it's just to let me see how 'harmonious' her family is. She has never been willing to be taken advantage of, since she guessed that Wang Ye and I wanted to find out the origin of the Si Tong and gave me such a clue to lead me here, she must want to use me to do something for her in order to achieve a win-win situation. "
It was just like how the Four-Way Express Company wanted to enter the garrison, but they could not force Pang Xiao to do so, nor could they use other channels. Therefore, they took such a big detour, tricking Pang Xiao into snatching the goods from the Four-Way Express Company himself, so that Pang Xiao could proudly accept the compensation from the Four-Way Express Company, and coax Pang Xiao to happily accept the financial aid from the Four-Way Express Company.
Now, Qiu Feishan had the same idea. It was obvious that this woman had a deep grasp of people's hearts and had a far-reaching plan, making them fall into her trap, and in the end, they had to accept reality with a smile to achieve a win-win situation.
Although it was a win-win situation, they didn't suffer any losses.
But the feeling of being manipulated was really uncomfortable.
Qin Yining also had some guesses about Qiu Feishan's background, but she was no longer curious about Qiu Feishan, so she was too lazy to think too much about it.
"Princess, what do we do now?" Bing Tang said nervously. "The Qiu family is too domineering, that Magistrate Wu came slowly, and left quietly. Just now, the Qiu family left, this servant didn't think of Magistrate Wu for a moment, and when we go back to look for him, there are so many people, and we don't even know that he ran away, it's obvious that we can't rely on the local government now. This servant is worried that the Qiu family will find an opportunity to take revenge on you, we don't have a license to go out of Sichuan, how can we go out? "
"I think so too." Qin Yining nodded.
Mu Jinghu said: "Then let's check out and leave this inn, and find a reliable place to stay."
Qin Yining nodded. "Let's do that, but I don't think it will be useful. In Jianchuan, the Qiu Clan's influence was too great. Even if we leave this inn and stay in another inn, they will still be able to find us. "
Qin Yining tapped the table with his jade-white fingers. After a moment of silence, he said, "Although I know that Magistrate Wu is useless, I can only think of a way that isn't really a way. Let's choose an inn or a homestay that is close to the prefectural magistrate's office and move there. I hope that the Qiu family will restrain themselves on account of the fact that the prefectural magistrate's yamen is nearby. "
Everyone nodded. This was indeed the only way out of desperation. In a place where the Qiu Family was the local tyrant, they really couldn't find a second way.
"We still have to find a way to get our hands on the Chu Chuan card as soon as possible." Qin Yining rubbed his forehead.
Qiu Feishan led them here and gave them the Chuan Card, which represented the identity of the Young Miss of the Qiu Family. She deliberately did not give them the Chuan Card. Obviously, she wanted to trap them here.
What good would it do for Qiu Feishan if she was trapped in Jianchuan?
While Qin Yining was deep in thought, Bing Tang and Ji Yun went to repack the luggage that had just been properly packed.
Mu Jinghu's luggage was simple. It was only a small bag with a change of clothes inside. He carried his weapons and silver with him. This was also his usual habit to deal with unexpected situations. Because he was worried about Qin Yining, he did not leave at this moment. He stayed in the room and chose a corner to sit in.
Not long after, the person who went out to scout returned. "Replying to Princess, there is an inn two streets away from the prefectural magistrate's yamen. There is still an empty courtyard. If we haven't found a homestay, I'm afraid we will have to discuss it. "
Because of the planning in the cities, it was already good to find an inn two streets away from the prefectural magistrate's yamen. Qin Yining also knew that it was not easy to find, so he nodded.
"Then let's go. We will leave after checking out. "
"Yes."
Qin Yining got up and put on his veil hat. Jing Zhe brought people to check out. They had already boarded the carriage that was prepared at the entrance of the courtyard.
After Qin Yining left, the innkeeper of the inn walked out of the side door. He looked in the direction of the group of people with his hands crossed and sneered softly. He turned back and told the servants to look carefully before he went in the direction of the Qiu residence.
At this time, the Qiu residence was not quiet.
Several old men were sitting on round chairs on both sides of the main hall. Qiu Yuanqing and Qiu Yuanming, who had just returned, were standing in front of them. Qiu Feisheng, who usually hung out with Qiu Feizhen, was also standing in an inconspicuous place with his head lowered, looking like he was listening to a lecture.
An old man was holding a cane. Because of his anger, his white goatee trembled.
"Although Feizhen is absurd, he is still a man of the Qiu family. It is normal for a man to bump into things. Even if he suffers some superficial injuries, we can accept it. But because he took liberties with a young lady and got kicked in that place, it is really too ugly. In my opinion, we shouldn't let Feizhen go out again. "
"I think so too." Another white-haired old man said shakily, "Feizhen usually doesn't do anything serious. Look at Feishan from the eldest family, that little girl is more ambitious than Feizhen. He only knows how to fight like a dog. If word got out, he would be hated by dogs. "
Qiu Yuanming and his wife both lowered their heads and curled their lips in dissatisfaction.
Their precious son was being talked about like this. Which parent who spoiled their child would not like to hear it?
Qiu Yuanming said, "That is that, Feizhen is not sensible. But isn't he much better than the other people in our Qiu family who kill and set fires? Besides, Feizhen is not the only one who enjoys a life of leisure. How can you compare Feizhen to a crazy girl who has not been home for more than two years? "
"That's right." The old madam of the sixth branch also said, "No matter how my Feizhen is, he is still a man. No matter how he plays, he will not go overboard. Even if he kills people, do you think that our Qiu family does not have enough people to pretend to be peaceful? But Qiu Feishan is different. She has been restless since she was young. First, she killed her mother. A few years later, she killed her father. She is a girl, but she does not look like a girl. All day long, she dressed neither like a man nor a woman. Since she went out to make a living, the patriarch was so angry that he went into seclusion. Don't compare anyone with my Feizhen. "
The several elders were all in their prime. In this life, they had seen thousands of sails and had seen all kinds of people. Even so, they were still angry with Qiu Yuanming and his wife.
No wonder they could raise that kind of son. It turned out that this couple was not a good person.
However, they were already old. Although they had seniority, they had no real power. Their era had passed. Even if they talked until their mouths were broken, they still needed the children to be obedient.
The patriarch had not appeared in these two years, and the power fell into Qiu Yuanqing's hands. Even they had to rely on Qiu Yuanqing's words to live. They did not only have themselves, but also the younger generation in the family.
The elders shook their heads, not knowing what to say for a while.
