Save my big brother (please read)

Because of what happened during the day, the inn was a little deserted. When Qi Ping stepped into the main entrance, he saw a strange scene.

Several officials were sitting on the tables and chairs on the first floor of the inn, as if waiting for something. Fan Er and Qi Shu were standing by the counter. Inside, they were the deceased employer's brother-in-law and the current shopkeeper.

The atmosphere was a little tense.

When Qi Ping appeared, one after another looked at him at the same time.

Qi Shu's big eyes suddenly lit up on her thin face, Fan Er's small eyes popped open, and the two of them quickly came forward.

"What's going on?" Qi Ping asked in a low voice.

Fan Er grabbed his sleeve with one hand and lowered his voice and said: "About two-quarters of an hour ago, these officials came and said they had something to ask you. They asked what it was, but they didn't say anything."

Qi Shu came over, frowned, and nodded vigorously.

Looking for me? Qi Ping's eyes moved and he looked at the several officials coming towards him. Most of them were unfamiliar faces, but there were also "acquaintances".

When the murder occurred in the afternoon, the patrol leader was also among them, but he was not the leader.

"You are Qi Ping." The leading officer stared at him and said in a declarative sentence.

Qi Ping frowned: "What are you doing looking for me?"

The leader said firmly: "We are the catchers of Shangyuan County Government. Someone reported that you were involved in a case and were ordered to be interrogated. Please come with us."

The tone is very unkind.

"It's the case for the afternoon, I guess." Inside the counter, the young shopkeeper smiled, hurriedly walked over, and said flatteringly:

"The villain is the one who suffered. Thanks to Mr. Qi's righteous speech, the injustice was redressed. Dear officials, is there... any misunderstanding?"

"It has nothing to do with your business," the leader said, "Anyone who obstructs the investigation of the case will be regarded as an accomplice."

Qi Ping raised his eyebrows.

At this time, if he couldn't feel anything unusual anymore, he was really stupid. What he worried about had indeed happened. Did the Xu family do it? Is the other party really so bold?

He was a little surprised, and suddenly understood why the emperor wanted to establish the Zhenfu Department.

Perhaps, it is precisely because the powerful people in this empire have become corrupt to a certain extent.

Only a sharp knife is needed to heal the empire.

Beside, Fan Er and Qi Shu changed their colors at the same time.

"No, this is definitely a misunderstanding." The shopkeeper was frightened and took out an ingot of snowflake silver from his arms and handed it over with familiarity: "Master, you have found the wrong person."

The official took it, weighed it, and shouted: "Bringing an official will be punished by an additional penalty!"

The young shopkeeper was shocked.

"I'll go back with you." Qi Ping sighed and said.

Qi Shu looked frightened and grabbed his hand, biting her lip, trembling a little.

"Qi Ping, you..." Fan Er was anxious.

He didn't understand what happened, or in other words, he vaguely guessed that the Xu family might be taking revenge, but he couldn't believe it.

"You don't have that, take..." He wanted to say the eldest princess's autographed letter, and wanted to mention the Zhenfu Division, but Qi Ping shook his head and interrupted him, looking at several officials:

"Can I have a few words with my friend?"

Just as the leader was about to scold him, the familiar-looking patrol inspector spoke first: "Just say a few words, don't think about escaping."

"Thank you." Qi Ping said, pulling his little sister and Fan Er aside.

First, he comforted the girl, and then he took out the "temporary waist card" from his arms, handed it to Fan Er, and whispered:

"Take this and go to the Zhenfusi Yamen immediately. If anyone stops you, just show this thing. Go over there and find Pei Shaoqing and tell him what's going on here. He will naturally know what to do."

Fan Er was stunned.

"Did you hear that clearly?" Qi Ping asked.

"Understood..." He nodded subconsciously, "It will definitely be delivered!"

"Shopkeeper, please take care of my girl first. I'll be right back." Qi Ping looked at the young shopkeeper again.

The latter's face was full of guilt, he choked and nodded heavily: "Don't worry, sir."

"Are you finished? Let's go!" the officer urged.

Qi Ping smiled at a few people, turned around, let the other party tie his hands, and walked outside.

But his heart became increasingly cold and stern, Xu Mansion...want to give you some achievements so much? Then I'll grant it to you.

…

…

After the group of people left, everyone in the inn was anxious and anxious. Fan Er did not dare to delay, knowing that the only one who could save Qi Ping at this moment was Zhen Fu Si.

I found a carriage from the shopkeeper and hurried towards the inner city.

"Miss Qi, please go upstairs and have a rest. I'm going to find someone to take care of him right now. Mr. Qi's trouble must have been caused by our efforts. Even if we lose all the family wealth, we will definitely rescue him."

The young shopkeeper gritted his teeth and persuaded.

Qi Shu just stayed motionless in the lobby, as if she had lost her soul. After a while, she suddenly thought of something.

At this moment, walking out of this small northwest county, a poor girl with a low self-esteem suddenly burst out with fearless courage.

She suddenly looked at the shopkeeper: "I'm going to the inner city to find someone, please help me."

The shopkeeper was stunned and didn't ask who he was looking for. He nodded vigorously: "Okay."

…

Inner city.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Fan Er, sitting in the carriage, opened the curtain and urged loudly.

After nightfall, there are far fewer pedestrians in the inner city area. Fortunately, there is no curfew. Therefore, as long as you pass through the inner city gate, you are generally less likely to be stopped and interrogated.

"Guest, please don't rush me. It's hard for my horse to run." The coachman looked embarrassed.

Fan Er took out his money bag and threw it over: "Is it enough?!"

The coachman's spirit was shaken, his horsewhip whipped through the night wind, and the speed soared: "Sit tight!"

Not long after, the carriage arrived. Fan Er jumped out of the car, vomited profusely, and ignored it, wiping it with his sleeves, resisting dizziness, and ran to the gate of the Zhenfu Si Yamen.

"Stop whoever comes!" the guard shouted sternly.

Fan Er hurriedly presented the certificate: "My lord, may I ask Pei Shaoqing if Mr. Pei is here? I have something urgent to call him."

The guard frowned, took the receipt, glanced at it, and was slightly startled: "Qi Ping? Who are you to him?"

"We are fellow villagers and friends. He has been arrested. Please save him." Fan Er was anxious.

The guards changed their colors. They had heard that there was a new evildoer in the Yamen.

"Wait a moment, I'll make an announcement." The guard turned around and ran into the yamen. After twisting and turning, he found the entrance to the hall where Pei Shaoqing was.

Halfway through, I saw a few figures walking towards me. They were obviously going out at night.

Pei Shaoqing was talking to the dark-faced man wearing a hundred official robes beside him, when he saw the guard rushing towards him.

"Why are you so nervous?" Yu Qing frowned and asked.

What he hates the most is his subordinates being undisciplined.

The guard saluted: "Returning to your lord, the newly promoted captain Qi Ping and his friends have come to ask for help..."

He immediately relayed the situation.

After finishing his words, Pei Shaoqing was stunned for a moment and blurted out: "Is it revenge from the Xu family?"

Yu Qing looked at him with cold eyes: "What's going on?"

Pei Shaoqing was about to talk about the case that afternoon, and the collusion between Xu Mansion's servants and Manzi, and finally said angrily:

"Qi Ping just arrived in Kyoto today. He will be involved in any case. It must be revenge!"

Yu Qing smiled, with a hint of coldness in his smile:

"Okay, very good, you dare to touch my Zhenfusi people... it's interesting.

Let’s go to Shangyuan County Yamen!”

…

…

Prince's Mansion.

"Who is it?" Outside the mighty and luxurious mansion, the soldiers on duty looked at the horses galloping in the distance and held their sabers.

It is already a sin to dare to ride a horse near the prince's palace.

The horse slowed down, and the soldier was stunned for a moment, realizing that the rider was actually a thin and small girl.

Can't help but be surprised.

These days, ordinary women don't know how to handle horses.

"I want to see the princess." Qi Shu dismounted, looked at the guard, and said with great courage.

She knew that there were two people in this city who could save her eldest brother.

But the eldest princess lives in the palace, and she cannot enter. Only the prince's palace, located in the inner city, can be reached.

"How can you see the princess?" The guard was furious and wanted to drive him away, but he thought of the character of his own princess and added: "Which family are you from? Do you have a greeting card?"

Qi Shu was about to speak.

Suddenly, there was noise from the street opposite, and a luxurious carriage slowly drove over, surrounded by soldiers guarding it.

The vehicle stopped, and a woman's gentle voice came out: "What's going on?"

Qi Shu turned her head, clenched her fists, and repeated loudly: "I want to see the princess."

After a short period of silence, a clear and melodious whisper came from the carriage. Then, Princess Anping, who was wearing a pink palace dress and had a delicate face, poked her head out and said in surprise:

"Little mute? You have come to Kyoto? Where is Qi Ping?"

Because Qi Shu was unwilling to talk and kept silent, Anping called her a little mute.

"My brother was taken away by the Yamen." Qi Shu's voice was hoarse and crying.
