Qin Yining smiled and replied, "I know." He turned around and teased Ji Yun, "I saw Imperial Bodyguard Tang standing not far away just now. You should pay attention to what you say."
Ji Yun's face flushed red. She stomped her feet and said, "Princess, you are so bad!"
When Bing Tang saw her stomping her feet in embarrassment, she pointed at her and laughed. Even Ziyuan and Han Xiao, who had just arrived in Qin Yining's room, also laughed.
The sound of laughter in the room spread far and wide. The Jinghu Wei at the entrance of the courtyard also winked at Tang Xiu. Tang Xiu blushed in embarrassment. They were all young people. Tang Xiu and Ji Yun, the head maidservant in the Princess's room, were close. Everyone knew that and wished them well in their hearts. It was just that the brothers had a good relationship, so they couldn't help but tease them.
When Xie Yue saw that the group of people were so happy, he didn't say anything about the worries in his heart.
The residence that Xie Yue found was located in the center of the city. It wasn't far from the yamen and the market. The surrounding neighbors were all quite wealthy. Because they had already made preparations, Qin Yining and his group could live normally after moving in. However, there weren't many servants in the house, so Qin Yining didn't want to buy them immediately. He wanted to wait and see for a while.
After everyone was ready, Xie Yue came to Qin Yining.
Qin Yining smiled and invited Xie Yue to sit at the square table in the central room. He personally poured a cup of tea for him.
"Sir Xie, please enjoy."
Xie Yue held the teacup with one hand and said with a smile, "Thank you, Princess."
"Sir Xie is too polite. Sir Xie has put in a lot of effort to find such a suitable residence so quickly. Sir Xie is already so old, but you still have to run around in the rain. I really feel very sorry. "
Xie Yue waved his hand. He could see that Qin Yining was sincerely grateful. Pouring a cup of tea and saying a few words from his heart was more comforting than giving him anything else.
Xie Yue beamed with joy. Even if he was worried, he felt happy. "Princess, in fact, this old man is worried that the bandits of Heifeng Zhai have been arrested by the local guards and bailiffs. Will they confess that they stole stones from the stone factory? Could it be that they also mentioned those people with the surname Guan? "
After some thought, Xie Yue continued, "Also, I've been thinking about how that Guan guy managed to get in touch with the Black Wind Stockade. Could it be that he was able to get over a hundred bandits in the Black Wind Stockade to obey his orders with just money? Could it be that he was using a fake name? . for example....
Qin Yining lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. "Mr. Xie, you're right. I didn't think of that." . "He sighed in shame." Everything went according to my plan. I was a bit too complacent. "
Xie Yue smiled kindly and looked at Qin Yining with a gaze that showed respect for his master and concern for the younger generation.
"Princess is still young. It's already very rare for you to be able to reach this stage. Perhaps this old man is just thinking too much. Those soldiers might not be willing to interrogate them in detail after capturing them. They might not necessarily confess all of this. "
Qin Yining shook his head and said, "Sir Xie is very meticulous. It's very necessary for you to consider this point. Regardless of whether or not they confess Guan Dahu, if news of Guan Dahu pulling the banner of Qingtian Alliance spreads, I can't avoid being affected."
Qin Yining was still the leader of Qingtian Alliance. He had once led Qingtian Alliance to help Jin Shang take back the imperial palace. If news of this spread, it would have a negative impact.
But thinking about it carefully, this was a fact that she couldn't change.
"We can't act rashly on this matter. Otherwise, we'll be exposing ourselves. We can only wait and see. If someone spouts nonsense, we'll at least have room to refute.
。”
"This old man also thinks the same." Xie Yue smiled and said, "Although it's a hidden danger, it's not fatal. Moreover, who would believe the words of a group of mountain bandits? "
"After hearing Sir Xie's words, that's true. If someone really dares to bite me, I'll just cry out that I'm innocent. "
Xie Yue was amused by Qin Yining's tone. She nodded and said, "That's right. Princess, when the time comes, just cry out that you're innocent. It's not a small matter to be framed. Why would those soldiers go and exterminate the mountain bandits? If the mountain bandits frame Wang Ye and Princess, I'm afraid they won't have an easy time in the future. "
After hearing Xie Yue's analysis, Qin Yining felt much more at ease. He smiled and nodded as he spoke of another matter, "I'll have to trouble Sir Xie to help me disguise myself as I did last time."
"Oh?" Xie Yue raised her eyebrows and said, "Does Princess Consort plan to meet those people again?"
"Yes. They can't count on the Heifeng Stronghold anymore. Now that their willpower is weak, it's a good opportunity to take advantage of their weakness. "
Xie Yue smiled and nodded, "That's good too. Let's see what they're really up to. It'll be even better if we can find out the location of those stones."
"Yes, that's what I was thinking."
The two of them discussed for a while before Xie Yue took her leave.
Qin Yining had a good night's sleep. The next day, he had Tang Xiu investigate the whereabouts of Guan Dahu and the others.
The Jinghu Wei that Tang Xiu had arranged were all very clever. Everyone quietly investigated the places that these people had frequented recently.
"So they tried to visit you in prison?" Qin Yining smiled in surprise.
"That's right." Tang Xiu said, "The tall and strong one wanted to go, but the one with the hoarse voice stopped him. If you ask me, wouldn't they be walking right into a trap if they went to visit you in prison? Those bailiffs and guards are afraid that the Heifeng Stronghold will not be able to catch all the fish that escaped the net. "
Qin Yining smiled and said, "Forget it. I think they're desperate and have nowhere else to go. Do they usually stay in the residence in the afternoon? "
Tang Xiu nodded.
"Tomorrow, bring a few people to the residence and follow me from afar. I'm going to meet that 'Li Dazhuang' tomorrow." Qin Yining spoke with a hint of mockery when he said this name, which he had made up at the last minute.
Tang Xiu smiled and said, "Don't worry. I'll go and find out where they are tomorrow."
"Then I'll have to trouble you."
"No trouble, no trouble at all. This is your subordinate's duty." Tang Xiu smiled and cupped her hands in salute.
The next afternoon, Tang Xiu confirmed that Guan Dahu and the others were at home. Qin Yining went to find Xie Yue to change her appearance. She used the same method as last time and changed into a man's outfit.
Qin Yining looked around in the small mirror.
She found that the positions of the maids that Xie Yue had pointed out for her were all correct. She couldn't help but marvel at Xie Yue's ability.
Qin Yining still brought along Ziyuan and Han Xiao. He asked Ji Yun and Bing Tang to come down and look after the house. He also told Tang Xiu and the others not to come close. The coachman was Jinghu Wei in disguise. The group of people went to Guan Dahu's rented house.
At this time, Guan Dahu's beard was already unshaven. His originally elegant beard was now messy. Liu Ban and the others were not in the mood to do anything. There were even blisters on the corners of their mouths.
Liu Ban heard someone calling the door. The person who called the door was a female voice. He opened the door in annoyance.
Guan Dahu and the others picked up the door latch defensively. Once they found out that the imperial army was here, they could immediately escape.
"Hey? Aren't you … the one with the four-channel number? "Liu Ban pointed at Ziyuan.
Ziyuan said, "Yes, our boss is here." She opened the umbrella and stepped aside.
Only then did Liu Ban see the outside that was covered by the oil-paper umbrella.
She saw the woman from the Four-Way Number, who looked especially beautiful but dressed neither like a man nor a woman, standing not far away with a maid holding an umbrella. Behind them was a coachman.
Liu Ban turned around and looked at Guan Dahu questioningly.
Guan Dahu winked at the two brothers behind him and asked them to climb over the wall to see if there was an ambush outside. He then went out to greet them.
"So it's Boss Qiu. Why did you think of stepping on a lowly place today?" Guan Dahu said sarcastically, "It seems that you are very well-informed. You actually found my house."
Qin Yining pretended not to understand Guan Dahu's sarcasm and said with a smile, "Brother Li really knows how to joke. We're partners after all, so I have to show some concern for you. Moreover, I haven't received any news these days, so I was very worried about the progress of your recruitment. So I came to see. "
Guan Dahu was rendered speechless by her words, but he knew what was the most important thing right now.
They had no money and no manpower. When they were at their wit's end, this woman came. Could it be that the heavens were giving them a chance to succeed?
Thinking of this, Guan Dahu smiled and stepped aside. He invited Qin Yining and the others into the house. "It's rainy and cold. If you don't mind, please come to my house and sit for a while."
Listening to Guan Dahu's pretentious elegance and his hoarse voice, it was easy to think of some gloomy things.
Qin Yining couldn't help but rub the goosebumps on his arms. He entered the house with a smile on his face. Jinghu Wei, who was acting as the coachman, sat casually on the shaft of the carriage and tightened his straw raincoat and bamboo hat like an ordinary coachman.
The house was very dirty and messy. There were still leftover leftovers on the table.
Qin Yining looked straight ahead and sat down with Guan Dahu. Guan Dahu turned around and asked someone to boil water. When he turned around, he saw that the brother who had just climbed over the wall to investigate had come back. He even nodded at him. Guan Dahu was sure that there was no ambush outside. He was relieved and could talk to Qin Yining without worry.
Qin Yining asked with a smile, "How is it going? Have you found out when the Tatan tribute team will pass by? Don't be too late. Wouldn't it be a waste of manpower? "
"Yes, what Boss Qiu said makes sense. I will pay attention to this," Guan Dahu said perfunctorily.
Qin Yining's beautiful eyes turned and said, "The Tatan people are not good people. They have harmed many people in Da Zhou. A few days ago, I had a long talk with Brother Li. Although I am a woman, I was also excited.
I wanted to beat them up to vent my anger. So today, I have something to discuss with you. "
Guan Dahu asked in surprise, "What, what is it?"
"I want to arrange for someone to follow you to rob the Tatan team."
What?
Guan Dahu was shocked. Liu Ban and the others were also shocked.
They were worried about whether they would be exposed. They didn't expect this woman to make such an arrangement.
"How can we do that? After all, this is a matter of life and death. We can use money to hire servants. It's better for the people around Boss Qiu to not get involved in this. "
