Pang Xiao waved towards the door. Ji Yun and Xian Yun immediately supported a young girl to walk in. Upon closer inspection, it was Magistrate Yang's daughter.
"Father, mother." Miss Yang entered the door and bowed with a smile. She held Madam Yuan's arm and said, "Mother, why did you ask me to come here?"
Madam Yuan's body trembled violently. She widened her eyes in horror and shook her head, "Why? What does Wang Ye want to do?"
Magistrate Yang immediately sobered up. "What do you mean, Your Highness?"
Pang Xiao smiled, "This King and Magistrate Yang had a good chat. Therefore, he invited Magistrate Yang's family to stay at my house for a while. We can often have a long talk. Isn't that good?"
Magistrate Yang was shocked and angry. Even if he was drunk, he could understand Pang Xiao's meaning. Was he going to imprison his family?
"I appreciate Wang Ye's kindness. If you want to meet, it is very easy. There will be many opportunities in the future. Wang Ye, please stay. I will take my leave. "Magistrate Yang grabbed Madam Yuan with one hand and his daughter with the other and turned to leave.
However, the outside of the reception hall was surrounded by Jinghu Wei. It was so crowded that not even a drop of water could pass through.
Magistrate Yang's coachman and bodyguards had already been warmly taken away by Pang Xiao's servants to eat and rest. Now, there were no bodyguards around them!
Magistrate Yang suddenly turned back. He had completely sobered up in horror.
"Did Your Highness plan this from the beginning? What do you want to do? Do you want to rebel? "
As soon as he said this, Madam Yuan held her daughter tightly in her arms. Her eyes widened in horror and she was so frightened that she hid behind Magistrate Yang.
Pang Xiao was still smiling, "Magistrate Yang, don't randomly accuse This King. This King can't afford it. He just asked Magistrate Yang's family to stay at his house for a few days. How can you say that he is rebelling? "
With a wave of his hand, Huzi immediately understood Pang Xiao's intention and led his men to surround Magistrate Yang.
"Magistrate, please. A guest room has been prepared for you. You can rest and sober up after drinking too much." Huzi smiled.
Magistrate Yang was furious, "How dare you, Meng Zhixi! You must have eaten a leopard's guts! In any case, I am an official of the Imperial Court, a magistrate personally appointed by Your Majesty. How dare you kidnap me! "
Pang Xiao was too lazy to argue with Magistrate Yang anymore. Magistrate Yang would have to stay for a while no matter how much he said or how little he said. Therefore, he didn't say much and just let them take him away.
Magistrate Yang was shocked and angry, he screamed, "I must report you! Let Your Majesty punish him severely! You are such a traitor! "
Pang Xiao took Qin Yining's hand and followed the troops out of the Flower Hall. He smiled and said, "Before that, This King will also tell Your Majesty that Magistrate Yang colluded with merchants and influenced the Imperial Court's decisions and personnel. This is a complicated relationship, and I believe Your Majesty will be very interested. "
Magistrate Yang couldn't say anything at all. It was as if a raw egg was stuffed in his mouth. He could only open his mouth wide and gasp for breath.
Under his panic, Madam Yuan and Miss Yang had already been scared to tears. Naturally, they didn't know what Magistrate Yang had done outside, so they more or less complained in their hearts. Magistrate Yang, on the other hand, was completely stunned.
He had indeed colluded with businessmen to influence the imperial court. After contacting Qiu Feishan, gaining her trust, and listening to Qiu Feishan's orders for several times, Magistrate Yang thought that what he had done must not be discovered by others. He must be very careful. "
But now, his mistake was in Pang Xiao's hands.
Magistrate Yang came to his senses. He was too confident before, and it was also because things had been going smoothly for too long. He forgot that the person in front of him was not a soft persimmon that could be bullied, but a fierce beast that couldn't be provoked!
Now that Qiu Feishan was nowhere to be found, and there was no one around to guard him, Pang Xiao naturally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to take revenge!
Magistrate Yang thought a lot, but in fact, it was just a breath. At this time, his family was about to be surrounded by a group of strong men with weapons in their hands.
Magistrate Yang hurriedly turned back, "If Wang Ye cares about the previous food and salary, we can discuss it. You don't have to do this."
Pang Xiao narrowed his eyes and smiled very gently, but he didn't care about Magistrate Yang's begging at all, as if he didn't hear it at all.
Magistrate Yang saw that his begging didn't work, so he scolded again, "Pang Zhixi, you traitor, you want to betray the country! I must impeach you! "
Pang Xiao didn't care about it at all.
When the people went away and the other side's scolding couldn't be heard, Qin Yining asked Pang Xiao, "Is my idea not good? In fact, I'm also afraid that Your Majesty will take advantage of this matter to do something. "
"Don't think so much. This is also a critical moment in time. We have a grudge with the Qiu family, and in the future, we won't be able to get any funding from the Four Links. Raising such a big army, the people eat and the horses eat, and also the food and salary. If we don't have money, won't we go back to the way it was before? "
"Yes." Qin Yining said helplessly, "After weighing the pros and cons, we still use Magistrate Yang's seal to take the silver rice from the storehouse to appease the army for the time being. We don't know when the Qiu family will target us. If we don't manage the army well, won't we be attacked from both inside and outside? "
"That's right. And Magistrate Yang is indeed not a good person. I have a lot of evidence in my hands about what he did outside. If he impeaches me, the evidence will be useful. It's fine. "
Pang Xiao put her arm around Qin Yining's shoulder and walked all the way to Snow Pear Courtyard. She said in a low voice, "I have arranged for people to guard the courtyard where Magistrate Yang's family lives. You must pay attention to their food and drink, and the people who serve them must be polite. Don't neglect them. You must treat them as if they are guests. "
"I know. Don't worry, I will be careful." Qin Yining smiled and looked up at Pang Xiao.
From Pang Xiao's angle, he could see her small fan-like long eyelashes fluttering, leaving a faint shadow under her eyes. Her watery eyes curved slightly when she smiled, and her eyes were as bright as two lakes.
"Good girl." Pang Xiao couldn't help rubbing her forehead with her chin.
Pang Xiao sent Qin Yining back to rest. Not long after, Huzi came.
"Wang Ye, everything is going according to plan. Our people have already obtained the magistrate's seal."
Pang Xiao stood up and said, "Let's go. The next step is to take control of the treasury."
"Yes." Huzi immediately responded.
Qin Yining looked worriedly at Pang Xiao's tall figure.
Pang Xiao seemed to sense something. He turned around and smiled at Qin Yining, "You should sleep early. I will send you a message after I have taken care of everything." After that, he had to return to the military camp.
Qin Yining nodded and said, "I know. Be careful. "
Qin Yining, Bing Tang, and Ji Yun watched Pang Xiao leave before returning to their rooms.
Ji Yun and Bing Tang looked at each other. They both noticed that Qin Yining seemed to be in low spirits.
Bing Tang comforted her softly, "Princess, don't worry. Wang Ye has so many people around him. Moreover, this matter is not very difficult. This is much more convenient than going to Jianchuan City to rescue you. Facing a place like Jianchuan, Wang Ye still did not lose a single hair. "
Qin Yining pulled the two maidservants' hands and sat down at the square table. He said, "I am just worried about how this matter will develop in the future. We have already offended the Qiu family. To avoid being retaliated against in the future, Wang Ye and I had no choice but to come back and make the first move. However, Wang Ye is now at the heart of the struggle. If we make a mistake, Your Majesty will have something on us. I am worried that there will be a problem. It is as if there is a needle hanging in my heart. It pricks me from time to time. "
However, at this point, there was no other way.
Ji Yun and Bing Tang could not think of any other way to comfort Qin Yining. They could only change the topic and talk about something else.
In the afternoon, Pang Xiao returned.
"Don't worry. Everything is going smoothly. We have already taken control of the treasury. Once I finish dealing with the military matters, I will release Magistrate Yang. "
Qin Yining smiled and said, "We finally managed to gain some time. On our way back, we were delayed for some time. No matter how slow the Qiu family's actions are, they should have made their next move. I thought that it would only be in the last few days, and they will only target the military matters. "
"You're right." Pang Xiao smiled and put his arm around Qin Yining's shoulder. "We have already made sufficient preparations. We are not afraid of what the Qiu family will do. Don't worry. Although your idea is good, I will only do it if I think it is feasible. My judgment will not be wrong. Don't worry."
Did he see through her nervousness and dejection?
Qin Yining leaned on Pang Xiao's shoulder and gently nodded. "I understand. Don't worry. "
In the end, Pang Xiao still had to oversee the military. Daily drill was indispensable. Therefore, he only had a meal with Qin Yining and hurried back.
Brother Han and Brother Zhao were not at home. Qin Yining did not have a child to take care of. There was nothing for her to do, so she suddenly became idle.
Qin Yining simply sewed with Bing Tang, Ji Yun, and Xian Yun. She was preparing to personally sew a cloak for Pang Xiao.
Although it seemed that the days were very peaceful, in fact, Qin Yining had been anxiously waiting for the Qiu family to make their move.
Seven days later, Pang Xiao returned home.
"Sister Yi, my people just brought news from Jianchuan City," Pang Xiao said with a serious expression. "Something happened to the Qiu family. I'm afraid they can't take care of us."
Qin Yining turned pale with fright. "The Qiu family is such a big family. It has been peaceful for more than a hundred years. What could happen?"
Pang Xiao said, "Qiu Guang was murdered."
Qin Yining was stunned when she heard that.
"And the murderer is Qiu Yuanqing."
"How do you know who the murderer is? Did your people find out? "
"That's not the case. Qiu Yuanqing tried to assassinate Qiu Guang, but did not clean up the mess. Now, the Qiu family and all the people of Jianchuan know that Qiu Yuanqing killed his father to become the head of the family. I'm afraid he will never be able to wash away his infamy. "
