Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 104 Qian Qianyi, Dilemma
The Qing army was all over the city to arrest Wang Yan. It is a felony for anyone who knows and fails to report, let alone helping him hide?
Seeing Liu Rushi leading Wang Yan into the house, Qian Qianyi was terrified, fearing that if the Qing army found out, he would be implicated immediately.

Qian Qianyi often said to his friends that he and Liu Rushi were as good as Li Qingzhao and Zhao Mingcheng. His family had a lot of books. The books must be arranged on several floors and rows, like a mobile encyclopedia.

Qian Qianyi surrendered, which made Liu Rushi depressed. He found this peerless companion in his late [-]s, so he cherished it very much in his heart. If he told the Qing army about Wang Yan's hiding in the mansion again, Liu Rushi would definitely not let it go .

In a dilemma, Qian Qianyi finally chose to side with Liu Rushi, he was really reluctant to lose such a peerless match as Liu Rushi.

At the gate of the courtyard, the Qing army knocked on the door frantically, Qian Qianyi could only pull himself together, straightened his clothes, and then ordered his servants to open the gate of the courtyard, Zhu Guobi led nearly a hundred Qing soldiers and rushed into the courtyard.

"Lord Zhu, why did you lead troops into my mansion?" Seeing that the person who came in was Zhu Guobi, Qian Qianyi felt a little more at ease. Guilty in his heart, he still pretended to be angry.

Zhu Guobi clasped his fists slightly, saluted Qian Qianyi, and then said coldly: "I was ordered by General Tulai to arrest Wang Yan, and now he disappeared near Lord Qian's mansion, so I came in to search, and I ask Lord Qian to cooperate .”

Seeing that Zhu Guobi's attitude was relatively cold, Qian Qianyi couldn't help being surprised, but Wang Yan was hiding in the mansion, so he naturally didn't dare to let him search it arbitrarily, so he refused: "Master Zhu's words, do you suspect that my mansion is hiding Wang Yan? You and I are both ministers, but you have no right to search my mansion. If Wang Yanzhen is hidden in the mansion, I will let my servants lock it up and hand it over to Zhang Jing, so I won’t worry about it!"

"Wang Yan has a fierce reputation. Although he was born as a man, he has been on the battlefield for a long time. The servants of the Qian family may be invincible. It is more reassuring to let the soldiers search for it." Zhu Guobi said coldly.

Qian Qianyi saw that Zhu Guobi did not give him any face as the leader of the Donglin Party, but he couldn't help feeling angry: "There are so many female relatives in my mansion, how can the soldiers search and arrest them at will?"

"Master Qian obstructed my search, is it because of a guilty conscience?" Zhu Guobi said.

"My heart is magnanimous, so why should I be empty?" Qian Qianyi threatened, "Unless Zhang Jing allows me, I don't want to be presumptuous in my house!"

If Nanjing was still ruled by the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Guobi naturally would not dare to offend Qian Qianyi no matter what, but now it is the Qing Dynasty that controls Nanjing. Although Zhu Guobi is a member of Donglin, he is really not afraid of Qian Qianyi's threats.

Donglin's way of doing things well in Daming, you can scold the emperor, the ministers, and the government. That's because Daming has a bottom line. If Lin dared to come out and accuse the Qing court, he was seeking death.

With the fall of Nanjing, Qian Qianyi surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, Donglin lost the soil on which it depended for survival, and immediately collapsed.

There is a saying that the tree fell and the monkeys scattered, and now it is time to show merit to the new master, how could Zhu Guobi, a veteran of Donglin, miss the opportunity to show merit to the Qing court because the opponent is the party leader Qian Qianyi, so he immediately said: "I will search first. , It will not be too late to report to General Tulai!"

At this time, Zhu Guobi didn't want to get entangled with Qian Qianyi anymore, and the moment he finished speaking, he waved his arm, and saw nearly a hundred Qing soldiers behind him, scattered in all directions, and each searched Qian Qianyi's mansion.

At the moment Qian Qianyi couldn't help being anxious and shouting angrily, but with his own strength, how could he stop the Qing soldiers who were like wolves and tigers.

In the mansion, apart from looking for people, the Qing soldiers naturally had to pick up some things. The sound of broken porcelain came from the house, which made Qian Qianqian feel anxious and furious. He threatened again, hoping that Zhu Guobi could Stop, "If Wang Yan can't be found today, I will definitely read your book, break into the minister's residence, and rob my assets."

"If we can't find it, I will definitely apologize to Mr. Qian and compensate him for his losses." Zhu Guobi said confidently.

Thousands of Qing soldiers besieged Wang Yan, he was hard to fly, Zhu Guobi could almost conclude that Wang Yan was hiding in the Qian Mansion.

"My lord, no trace was found!"

"My lord, after searching the backyard, Wang Yan was not found!"

~~~

Just when Zhu Guobi was smug, the searched soldiers came to report one by one, and found no suspicious persons, which made his face change, and he doubted in his heart, could it be that he made a wrong judgment?
Qian Qianyi was overjoyed when he heard it, and he was relieved immediately. He was about to ridicule Zhu Guobi to relieve the hatred in his heart, but he suddenly heard him ask unwillingly: "The whole family of Qian, have you ever heard of it?" Is everything searched?"

"My lord, only Mrs. Qian's bedroom has not been searched!" A Qing soldier replied.

When Zhu Guobi heard the words, he immediately walked towards the inner courtyard. Qian Qianyi was furious when he saw it: "Zhu Guobi, what do you want to do? To humiliate the minister?"

Seeing Qian Qianyi blocking his way, Zhu Guobi kept cursing, but remained unmoved and insisted on searching Liu Rushi's room.

Now he and Qian Qianyi have already broken their faces. If Wang Yan cannot be found, not only will he have to compensate the loss of the Qian family, but he will also be punished by Tulai.

Although Qian Qianyi tried his best to stop him, Zhu Guobi rushed away after all, a half-century old man. When he walked to Liu Rushi's door, his Qing soldiers got his signal and immediately kicked open the door, and everyone smelled a burst of fragrance.

"Ah~ who is so rude?" Behind the screen in the room, a woman suddenly exclaimed, and everyone vaguely saw a bathing figure come into view.

Seeing this, Qian Qianyi was taken aback, and immediately stood in front of the door, angrily shouting at Zhu Guobi and the Qing soldiers behind him, "Get out!"

Seeing this, Zhu Guobi was also taken aback. If it was to save Wang Yan, Qian Qianyi would have worked too hard, and he actually got on with his beloved Liu Rushi.

In Nanjing city, no one knew that Qian Qianyi regarded Liu Rushi as a treasure, so how could he do such a business to lose his wife.

For a while, Zhu Guobi couldn't help doubting his own judgment.

At this time, he was looking at Qian Qianyi's ferocious face that seemed to be eating people, and couldn't help trembling in his heart. If he really forcibly broke into Liu Rushi's room, then from today onwards, he and Qian Qianyi would be immortal.

To search or not to search?
Zhu Guobi couldn't help being in a dilemma, but at this moment, a middle-aged man dressed as a servant ran into Qian's mansion in a daze, and after asking where Zhu Guobi was, he hurried into the inner courtyard.

"A Miao?" Zhu Guobi was weighing, when he suddenly saw a servant in his mansion running towards him in panic, he couldn't help asking, "What are you doing here?"

Hearing the sound, the family Ding ran all the way in front of Zhu Guobi, kowtowed to the ground, and burst into tears, saying: "Master, Yu Taichu returned to the mansion to take revenge and set fire to the Duke's mansion. The old matriarch, madam and all the princes, all Killed, woo woo~~~"
