auspicious time has come

Chapter 60

The shadow laughed, and it was a man's voice: "Miss Qi, don't you remember me? We just met at the alley the day before yesterday..."

An oil lamp was lit in the main room, and the courtyard was small. At this time, the figure and age of the other party could be roughly recognized by the light of the oil lamp.

He is a man in his 40s, not tall but with strong bones and limbs.

And can vaguely smell the other party's alcohol.

Qi Qing resisted her fear and retreated towards the main room: "I don't recognize you! Get out quickly, or I..."

"Otherwise, what are you going to do?" The man came over step by step, with a greasy smile on his face with a rosaceous nose: "...I am a person who loves fragrance and cherishes jade, Madam Qi should not be ignorant Okay, who didn't know about your affair with that second child? Do you still want to get married with such a reputation? "

"It's better to just follow me. The benefits are indispensable to you. You don't have to get up early and late to work in the city, and you won't have to suffer any more!"

Even though Qi Qing was full of fear at this time, it didn't delay her feeling extremely sick because of these words.

Is it hard for a woman to work and support herself?
Facing this self-righteous and dirty face is clearly the biggest suffering in the world!
"If you don't leave, I will call for someone!" Qi Qing has already retreated to the threshold of the main room, raised her eyebrows and scolded.

"Calling someone? Hey, I really want to hear how you call later!" The man's eyes were clouded with a smile, and he stretched out his hand and was about to pounce on Qi Qing.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt a gust of cold wind coming from the back of his neck.

The next moment, the collar of the cotton robe was grabbed, and the man pulled him back, almost causing him to fall on his back.

"Who!"

The man screamed, and just about to resist, his arms were pressed tightly behind his back, causing him to scream in pain.

Qi Qing became more and more horrified—why another one came in!
Just as he was about to grab the gong noodles behind the door of the main room, he heard the person behind him say: "Miss Qi, it's me!"

The voice seemed to have been heard before, Qi Qing took the courage to look at it, and saw the tall boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who was——

"Captain Meng?!"

"It's me, Miss Qi, don't be afraid!" Meng Dazhu nodded.

At this time, the gate of the courtyard was slammed from the outside, and the girl's anxious voice came to my ears: "Miss Qi!"

This is... Miss Jiji next to Mrs. Ji?

Qi Qing hurriedly ran to open the door.

"Is Miss Qi okay?" Heng Yu asked quickly.

"Miss Ji, don't worry, I'm fine." While speaking, Qi Qing saw the person standing behind the girl, and after being surprised, hurriedly saluted: "Minnv has seen Lord Xiaohou!"

Xiao Mu's eyes fell on her face for a moment, and after a slight nod, he walked into the courtyard with Heng Yu.

Seeing Hengyu and others approaching, the man who was restrained by Meng Dazhu was even more frightened: "You... who are you!"

Heng Yu looked at him with cold eyes: "I should ask you this question, do you know what is the crime of breaking into a private house?"

"What is breaking into a private house... I, I don't know!" Seeing that the situation was obviously not good, the man hurriedly said: "I was just drunk, my mind was confused for a while, and I couldn't remember how I got here... "

"How can you climb over the wall when you're drunk?" Heng Yu sneered, "And why didn't you go over the wall of the government office? Didn't you go over the wall of the Beihou Mansion? But it was the courtyard wall of a woman living alone?"

Pretend to be crazy and stupid under the name of being drunk, this trick is really too vulgar and disgusting.

Just like those who commit violence through drunkenness, even though they always claim afterwards that they are so drunk that they don’t remember anything, they are still miraculously able to accurately judge whether they are strong or weak when they are drunk. Old and weak women and children who are resistant, if they meet a strong man of eight feet, they will just shrug their heads and go around like a plague chicken. It offended the official.

So, what kind of "clear-eyed" drunk method is this?

The man's face changed a few times, and he was about to break free: "...I'll go, I'll just go!"

Unlucky for him tonight!

"Who allows you to go!" Gigi kicked the man's leg, and the man screamed in pain and fell forward to kneel on the ground.

At the same time, something fell from his sleeve to the ground with a soft sound.

Jiji bent over to pick it up, her expression darkened immediately: "Girl, he still has a knife!"

Heng Yu looked at the rusty dagger - it turned out that this was called "temporary confusion" and "can't remember how I got here".

"It is noted in "Sheng Lu·Thieves and Robbers" that anyone who enters someone's house at night without a reason will be whipped forty." Heng Yu looked at Qi Qing and said in a firm voice: "Master kills immediately, don't worry."

"Miss Qi, here!" Jiji handed the dagger to Qi Qing.

"..." Qi Qing took it nervously.

The man was so frightened that he hurriedly kowtowed his head: "I'm an asshole, I'm blind! How dare you have such dirty thoughts... I'll kowtow to Mrs. Qi to apologize!"

This group of people obviously came from unusual backgrounds, it would be too bad for him to kill him!
In extreme fear, the man slapped himself repeatedly.

"I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore..."

Seeing that his nosebleeds were coming out, Heng Yu felt relieved a little.

Xiao Mu glanced at her, and said at the right time: "Do you want to transfer to the government?"

Meng Dazhu subconsciously looked at his general.

Why did you hear an inexplicable request for instructions from the general's tone? ?
"It should be so." Heng Yu looked at Qi Qing: "What do you think, Mrs. Qi?"

The man slapped himself—sent to the government?Don't kill him?

Little did he know that Heng Yu didn't intend to kill him at all—after all, it was also marked in the law, and those who had been captured and unable to resist, although the crime was serious, they were not suitable for killing.

Under such circumstances, if someone is really killed, the host will also be punished.

She is very law-abiding.

As for the threats just now——

Oh, it's just to ask him to kowtow to Mrs. Qi a few more times - Lord Xiao Hou can see it.

So, again, people must read the law more.

Qi Qing also heaved a sigh of relief.

She thought Miss Ji really wanted her to kill someone.

She is really inexperienced in this kind of thing, not knowing is the same as killing a chicken, and the person in front of her will be greasy and disgusting if stabbed with a knife...

If she doesn't kill her, she's afraid that Miss Ji will be disappointed in her...

Now there is no need to worry.

"Let's send him to an official." Qi Qing said bluntly.

"Don't, don't!" The man came back to his senses and hurriedly reached out his hand to fumble around in his arms, and took out a few copper plates and a few pieces of silver: "Miss Qi, this is a little bit of my apology! If it's not enough, I can do it." Set up an IOU!"

Qi Qing didn't seem to have heard this nonsense at all, she glanced at the dagger in her hand, and asked Hengyu: "Miss Ji, trespassing on a house with a knife, I guess it's a higher crime, right?"

Heng Yu nodded, and looked at the two followers who came over under Xiao Mu's signal: "Thank you, please take this evidence with you."

The two who followed closely came down.

The man turned pale with shock: "...Miss Qi, if things get serious, if you spread unclear words, it will not be good for your reputation!"

If he really went to the government, it would be embarrassing, but the tigress in his family could tear him apart!
The Yue family will definitely be angry, because he only got a job with the help of his father-in-law!

He really shouldn't be obsessed with sex!
No wonder people say that this Qi family is a broom star, he can't get involved at all, and whoever gets involved will have to face a lawsuit!
First it was Zhang Er Er, now it is him again!

Listening to him talking about her name, Qi Qing just wanted to sneer.

Festival?

Can Mingjie be eaten as a meal, or can she turn into a Ji girl to save her from the fire when she is desperate?

Mrs. Miao is absolutely right. Famous festivals are a hell thing specially used to bully women, and to make women shut up when they are being bullied.

In short, whoever wants this unlucky thing will get it.

The man was quickly taken away from here.

Qi Qing thanked Heng Yu and Xiao Mu.

After all, she is just a weak woman. It is impossible to say that she is not afraid of such a thing. If Miss Ji and Master Hou hadn't appeared in time, she really dare not imagine whether she would have escaped the catastrophe.

but……

Why did Miss Ji and Lord Hou come here suddenly at such a night?

After Heng Yu and Xiao Mu looked at each other, it was Heng Yu who said, "I don't know if Mrs. Qi has time to talk about it?"

"Naturally." Qi Qing said hastily: "Miss Ji, Lord Xiao Hou, please talk in the room."

Xiao Mu said, "I'll just wait outside."

It is inconvenient for him to enter the room of a woman who lives alone, and it is obviously more appropriate for Master Ji to discuss this matter with him alone.

Heng Yu nodded to him, and entered the house together with Qi Qing.

"Qi Qing asked Heng Yu to sit down on the bench, poured a cup of clear water from the teapot and handed it to Heng Yu, and said apologetically, "It's too rough and poor hospitality, don't blame Miss Ji. "

Heng Yu took the rough porcelain cup with both hands, and said with a smile: "How can it be, the lady's place is clean and tidy, and the things I have prepared are very practical—"

As he spoke, he looked at the things hanging behind the door: "Especially this gong."

Qi Qing pursed her lips and smiled: "It's all Miss Ji's previous reminder——"

Ms. Ji reminded her before that it might not be safe to live alone. If you encounter something uncontrollable, remember to call for help from your neighbors. Ms. Ji also told her that the law stipulates that if your neighbors are robbed or murdered, if you report and do not help, One hundred sticks; those who hear it but do not help will lose one class.

So you can call for help boldly, most of the neighbors will not ignore it.

She thought that her voice was not that useful after all, so she prepared a face gong. She retreated into the house just now because she wanted to play the gong.

and also--

"Just in case, I also raised a vicious dog for self-defense."

Hearing this, Heng Yu looked at the fluffy yellow milk dumpling that was yelling at her feet.

She couldn't help laughing and said: "This vicious dog has not been around for several months, I'm afraid it won't become vicious again."

Qi Qing also laughed.

"My lady lives alone, so it's still not safe." Heng Yu said, "Why don't I find a place for my lady in the city tomorrow?"

What she came to testify today may not necessarily be a definite result. If she thinks wrong, Mrs. Qi will live alone for a long time in the future.

"Thank you Miss Ji for your kindness." Qi Qing said with a smile: "Miss Miao kindly asked me to move to live with her in the shop. I planned to move there after the wind and cold recovered."

Heng Yu felt relieved: "It couldn't be better."

Only then did Qi Qing ask: "I still don't know why Miss Ji came here?"

Finding it at such a time should be an urgent matter——

However, what Heng Yu said next gave her the feeling that she was just chatting.

"Speaking of which, I haven't asked Mrs. Qi about her original family situation. I wonder if Mrs. Qi still has relatives?"

She had a general understanding of it before, and only knew that Mrs. Qi was originally the son of the original Prince Jin's mansion, and her parents were servants of the Prince Jin's mansion. They were demoted to humble status because of the rebellion of the King of Jin.

Qi Qing said: "Three years ago when something happened in Prince Jin's Mansion, both my parents were over [-] years old. Father was arrested and interrogated about the accounts in the mansion because he worked under the second steward of Prince Jin's Mansion. Can withstand the torture... My mother is weak, and because she couldn't bear the shock of father's death, she passed away on the road to exile without being able to last long."

Hengyu paid attention to the key point in the words, said "Ms. Qi's condolences", and then asked again: "Does the lady have no other brothers and sisters?"

Qi Qing shook her head: "My mother is not in good health, so I have only one child."

Therefore, this is bad health and difficult childbirth.

And those who were over fifty years old three years ago, when they gave birth to Mrs. Qi, they were also around thirty...

With more judgment in Hengyu's mind, he continued to ask: "What impression does the lady have of the things she had when she was young? For example, is there any difference when getting along with your father Lingtang?"

Lost at the age of two, it is difficult to keep any memory, but if it is really a child who was stolen and picked up in Yingzhou City with the Meng family, it is impossible to be unconcealed.

"I can't remember clearly when I was young." Qi Qing tried hard to recall, and said: "I just remember that my father and mother treated me very protectively. Maybe I was the only child, so they cherished me very much. Before I was ten years old, I almost She has never left the palace. I remember one time when I sneaked out, and when I came back, I was beaten by my father, and my mother cried and said, what should I do if I meet someone who is slapping flowers..."

Having said that, Mrs. Qi smiled sadly.

Hengyu's heart has gradually stirred up waves.

Are these really just coincidences?

"I don't know why Miss Ji suddenly asked these things?" Qi Qing had realized something was wrong from the very beginning, but she had no reason not to answer the benefactor's question.

Heng Yu looked at the pair of eyebrows and eyes in front of her that overlapped more and more with her painted portrait, and said seriously: "This trip to find Mrs. Qi is actually for a guess that may sound a little absurd—"

If she didn't get the slightest clue from the other party tonight, she might have to think again about whether to say anything about it.

But there are too many "coincidences" in Mrs. Qi's words.

Qi Qing looked at the solemn girl suspiciously, and said softly: "Please tell me, Miss Ji."

A gust of wind came in, blowing the flame of the oil lamp on the old wooden table flickering. The wick struggled to protect the small cluster of flames. When the wind stopped, the room was bright again.

After nearly two quarters of an hour, Heng Yu just walked out from the house.

Qi Qing followed her and also came out.

Xiao Mu, who was waiting in the courtyard, looked over.

Heng Yu looked at him and said, "Master Hou, let's go to Meng's house."

Xiao Mu glanced at Qi Qing who was a little dazed, and nodded slightly.
