Chapter 184: Human Head

A head fell out with a bang and was grabbed by Ning Yi, and lime flew around in the yard.

After a while, Ning Yi held the head and looked at it. In the afternoon, a scream began to sound, and the chaos began to rush.

——This scene happened in the small courtyard of the Qin Mansion. Ning Yi came to the banquet, and his wife Tan'er and maid Xiaochan were accompanied by him. There were a lot of people in the courtyard. In addition to the maid carrying boxes and luggage, there were also Mrs. Qin who was greeting. Qin Siyuan also appeared at the side door of the courtyard not far away with his eldest son. Not far away, a handsome little correctionist looked at each other with a fierce man who rushed over to hold the box.

Today's invitation banquet originated from the news from Mr. Qin's second son Qin Shaoqian yesterday that he was home this afternoon, and it was confirmed that he had arrived at home. So he invited Ning Yi and his wife to come. First of all, this is a dust-washing banquet, but the most important thing is that Ning Yi saved Mr. Qin, which is a great kindness. Although Mr. Qin only cared in his heart and had not expressed much now, as a son, Qin Shaohe, it is necessary to express formal gratitude for this matter. Ning Yi's relationship with Mr. Qin is also a friend of his age, so he simply made an invitation at this time to show the closeness of the two families in the form of a family banquet.

So, this became Ning Yi and Qin Shaoqian's first meeting.

At this time, Tan'er treated Tan'er as a very important thing. Although he had followed Ning Yi to Qin's mansion to celebrate the New Year a few months ago, Ning Yi would have visited the old man more as a chess friend at that time.

Tan'er is a person who knows how to behave. She knows that this old man is knowledgeable or has a great status. However, in the past, he admired those literati and poets, so he yearned for the gentlemanship between his husband and others. When visiting, he only thought that he was his wife and did not have any utilitarian intentions. This time, it was inevitable that he was a little different.

At first, she also knew the old man's past glory more clearly - it was only after meeting Qin Shaohe that the former Minister of Personnel, in her heart, was a high-ranking official who was one step away from the emperor, and he was so confused when he heard the name. Just like a modern Chinese suddenly found that he knew a member of the Politburo Standing Committee.

On the other hand, it was because Qin Shaohe talked to her a few words when he met last time. At that time, Qin Shaohe was in a low position. He knew that the Su family was in business, and Su Tan'er was even at the helm, so he couldn't help but say a few kind and sincere words. In the officialdom, such words were a clear hint, and Su Tan'er naturally understood it, knowing that the Su family's business will be taken care of at least in Jiangzhou.

In fact, Qin Shaohe was not showing kindness, and Su Tan'er was not afraid of being nervous. But just as he was happy that day to have a governor backer, he could not help but realize that the Qin family had a very status. Since then, the Su family has been different from ordinary families. So when he went out today, he dressed himself in an extremely dignified and beautiful manner. After half an afternoon in the room, the little girl was also like. Ning Yi was watching helplessly and amusedly from the side. In fact, Su Tan'er had been educated by a lady from a family in the past. If he was indifferent, he would also have a dignified and elegant lady temperament. If he was so worried, he would look younger and cover up his confident and calm temperament.

However, it's quite interesting.

As a result, as soon as the three of them came over, they happened to meet the second young master of the Qin family. The maid in the mansion was busy moving the luggage in. A little maid next to Ning Yi moved a long box upright and trotted in. A big bearded man saw him and shouted there: "Be careful! Cui'er be careful..." He ran over.

The diligent maid named Cui'er was blocked by the long box and shouted loudly. She suddenly stopped there and swayed around several times: "Huh? What...what? What? What did the second master say..." Ning Yi kindly wanted to reach out to help him, and the bearded man over there rushed over, and in a hurry, the grid at the top of the long box opened, and a ball fell out. Ning Yi reached out and grabbed the lime in the sky. For a moment, he thought he had been attacked, but fortunately the lime was not thick.

After a while, the yard was in chaos, and some people shouted, "Taotaotao..." Some people shouted, "Everyone is everyone..." They all raised their voices, and the bearded man was a little embarrassed, as if he wanted to take the thing from Ning Yi's hand. He was hesitating and didn't know what to say. He was about to make up his mind to reach out, the little maid holding the box next to him stretched his head and looked forward several times. After realizing that something was in the box he was holding, he rolled his eyes and fell straight to the ground. The bearded man hurriedly went to catch her: "Xiao Cui, Xiao Cui, don't dizzy, tell you not to move..."

It would naturally not feel too good to hold a dead head in your hand, and it would still be held with one hand. Fortunately, Ning Yi was very calm and took the head for a while, then turned to his eyes to look at the bearded man holding the little maid: "This is the head of the assassin..."

At this time, the head of the man who was injured in his eyes by a musket. Ning Yi knew the bravery of these people, and he had inquired with Lu Agui at the beginning, but he thought that the group of people went north to flee, and one of them might be comparable to Lu Hongti. The man's name was Lu Tuo, not from Liao, but a famous bandit in the south. He was known as the evil Yan Luo. He had killed officials and committed rebellion. Later, it was said that he was subdued and disappeared.

The reason why these Liao people were able to escape this time was mainly because there were forces close to the Liao people operating in it. I think that experts like Lu Tuo were sent to protect them. They ran away these days without any trace. Unexpectedly, the second young master of the Qin family returned home only a few days later, so he took their heads back.

In the past, I heard that Qin Shaoqian was a general in the army and was responsible for a free agent and had no great achievements. Now it seems that the two sons of the Qin family are probably not simple.

When he held the head in his hand to look at it, Qin Siyuan had already come over, so he also showed it to him. The old man was not afraid of the dead head. He just frowned and nodded twice, and nodded with Ning Yi, confirming that this was one of the assassins of the day. Qin Shaohe looked happy and was holding the maid's big beard Qin Shaoqian laughed: "Haha, that's them. These few eyes were fleeing all the way and violently traveled. They were discovered near Crow Mountain south of Xuzhou. At that time, I happened to catch up and gathered a group of powerful people and beat them to death. Hahaha, there was a powerful guy full of scars who escaped. It's so damn..."

He said this, looked at his father next to him and his mother not far away, and changed his words: "He is sincere, it's okay to catch him sooner or later..."

Qin Shaohe touched his chin: "The one who escaped is called Lu Tuo, which is the most difficult to deal with, but he had not participated in the assassination that day, and all the other three were killed?"

The bearded Qin Shaoqian nodded: "Of course, Xiaohu comes over quickly and put the things on this brother's hand in the box. My mother doesn't like seeing this thing... I said, they will kill it, what other bad idea do you come up with? Take the head back and show it out. They assassinate my father. This is a public case and should be handed over to the government to deal with it. We will bring the head back and this will not become a personal grudge. We must not do this next time... No, no next time... Dad, this is really not my idea..."

Qin Siyuan sighed at the son. Qin Shaohe looked at him but he didn't laugh. A pretty man called Xiaohu hurried over to pick up the head and put the head into the box. At this time, the box was still in the arms of the maid Xiao Cui. She woke up swayingly in Qin Shaoqian's arms, blinked, then glared, his head tilted, and fainted again. There was a turmoil again. Someone hurried over to help him and pinch the person. Qin Shaoqian frowned in distress: "This, this is not good for the health. Should you call a doctor here..." He had always been in the army and had no feelings for dead people, but he was a little helpless towards such a delicate little maid, afraid of scaring people out of illness.

After this messy incident, after a moment of introduction, it would not seem to be separated. Qin Shaoqian is much younger than his elder brother Qin Shaohe. He is only in his early thirties this year. It is said that there was a brother between them, but he died shortly after he was born. He had a big beard, which looked rough at first glance, but in fact he looked young in his eyes and outline. If he shaved, he might have a baby face like a Confucian general. The young man who followed him was Xu Xiaohu, who was tall and handsome. According to Qin Shaoqian, he was very skilled in martial arts, so he usually brought him to fight in the military camp, so he became a brother of life and death.

Although Qin Shaoqian tried to portray himself as a soldier, in Ning Yi's opinion, the two people's every move was still very different from the soldiers and others. He was not very familiar with the soldiers of this era, but he just had this feeling.

Then Mrs. Qin asked Ning Yi to wash her hands in the side room. After all, the dead head and lime were scratched on her hands, and she had to wash it several times. Tan'er followed her and wanted to wash the filth on her hands. Since she saw the head, she had been standing beside Ning Yi with her lips pursed, and there was some hard support in it. At this time, Ning Yi couldn't help but feel a little sticky on her hands, but she had to drag her hand to wash herself. She was a little sad and said with a smile that she could do it, but Tan'er just shook her head.

She dressed herself up delicately today, pursing her red lips as she shook her head, obviously holding it hard, but she took a towel and wiped the lime from Ning Yi's hand first. Ning Yi was slightly confused, thinking that this was to show the deep love between the couple in front of the Qin family, but looking back, except for Xiaochan preparing to change the water at the door, Qin Siyuan and others did not come here at this time. In the meantime, Tan'er had already taken his hand to soak it in the water basin, and then took the osmanthus next to him to clean it. After washing it, he changed the water several times. In addition to washing it for him, Tan'er also washed his hands several times.

Ning Yi frowned and asked several times, and then he frowned with some distress: "That...that's a human head, I'm afraid..."

"Um."

Tan'er pursed her lips: "The husband touched the thing with his hand. When he touched me tonight, I would always feel goosebumps..."

"Uh...why do you have to wash it for me personally?"

When someone said something like Ning Yi's hand touched his body at home, Tan'er's face turned slightly red, but she still lowered her head: "After washing this way, I know that my hands have been washed. I am mentally prepared and I will not be afraid at night..."

Ning Yi was slightly stunned for a moment, and then laughed. Su Tan'er's temperament was different from that of ordinary women after all. If Ning Yi had washed herself, even if she washed her more, she would probably feel that Ning Yi's hands were unclean - there was nothing she could do about it. She had to overcome the hurdle in her heart, so she took Ning Yi to wash her hands together. The two of them used a basin of water. In short, she was the same as Ning Yi, and there was no hurdle in her heart. Ning Yi looked at the white fingers in the water that had been washed several times and was still washing her hands for a while.

After washing this a few times, it was almost the same. I saw the two brothers Qin Shao and Qin Shaoqian coming in from outside the door with a smile. After saying hello, Qin Shaoqian patted Ning Yi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry just now, but Brother Ning is such a man. I have never seen any scholar with Wenwen Xiuxiu in the past who can catch a human head without changing his face. But that was the head of a Liao people, so let's take it as a dog head, haha."

"I can only hold on." Ning Yi smiled and bowed, "However, Brother Qin said that those people were beaten to death by Minzhuang, which is probably untrue."

He had no clue in his heart, but just looked at Qin Shaoqian's expressions before and after, and tried it a little. Sure enough, after he asked, Qin Shaoqian laughed. Qin Shaohe also smiled and said, "My father said Liheng had a strong vision, it is true. This kid is used to play swords and guns on his usual days." He was nearly forty years old, and Qin Shaohe was in his early thirties, but he still called "this kid". The relationship between the two brothers of the Qin family was probably evident.

Qin Shaoqian smiled and curled his lips: "Ha, it's a blessing that he died at my hands at this time. Otherwise, if there is a flaw in the future, I will kill the Liao Kingdom and take his whole family's life." As he said this, a hostility gathered on his face, and his face, which seemed young, gradually became majestic and powerful like Old Qin. However, this aura was gathering less than a moment, and it turned into a grinning in the blink of an eye. However, the elder brother patted him with approval on his shoulder a few times, and he didn't know what he had photographed, which immediately changed his face.

"What's wrong?" Qin Shaohe asked in confusion.

"Big, brother... I have an injury behind my back..." Qin Shaoqian took a breath, then raised his finger and pointed to his shoulder. Qin Shaohe picked up his collar and looked inside: "Is the injury seriously? You..."

"Don't tell my mother, don't tell my mother..." Qin Shaoqian, the bearded man, endured the pain and waved his hand desperately, and said in a low voice, "Damn, it was only me and Xiaohu at that time. These Liaogou were not easy to kill. They were killed by a knife in the back and replaced their three lives... Oh wuwuwu, it's worth it, but it hurts so don't tell my mother, I didn't dare to apply too heavy medicine, for fear of being smelled. Brother Ning, please help me cover it up, I'm most afraid of crying..."

Qin Shaohe frowned: "I am so seriously injured. I have to live at home for so many days. My mother cares about you the most, so how can I hide it?"

"I'm just going to hold on..."

Ning Yi said this just now. At this moment, he grinned his teeth, and the people in the room laughed out loud, and there was also a little admiration in his smile. Ning Yi remembered that there were still a few doses of medicine left by Lu Hong at home, which were used to treat external injuries, but the medicine was not serious. He immediately said that he was sent here at night. Qin Shaoqian had a cheerful personality and was grateful again.

Then several people walked towards the living room and were only halfway through, but they saw Yunniang carrying some things with two women. Qin Shao and Qin Shaoqian both called Aunt Yun. Obviously, they had a good relationship with this old concubine Qin, who was also in her early thirties. However, the two women following Yunniang made Ning Yi slightly stunned. These two were Nie Yunzhu and Yuan Jiner. The Qin family banquet meant thanking me. Yunzhu had a good relationship with the Qin family. This time, she invited them here. Ning Yi didn't know. At this time, they seemed to be helping prepare the dinner like the Qin family.

Yunniang led them to some point, and then went to the backyard with a brief introduction. Tan'er naturally recognized Yuan Jin'er, but she would not show curiosity in other people's homes. When Yunzhu saw them, she seemed to have known that Ning Yi was coming for a long time. She showed a narrow and playful smile to Ning Yi slightly while Tan'er was not paying attention, bowed openly, and headed to the backyard.

After a while, I went to the living room and chatted with Mr. Qin. When Yun Zhu and the others came over again, they clearly saw that the old man Qin Siyuan also showed a slightly narrow smile. Ning Yi was a little helpless. The old man knew his relationship with Yun Zhu and the troubles between the two. In the past, Ning Yi was mediocre and disturbed himself, but he also had a good impression of the woman Nie Yunzhu. This casual banquet made Ning Yi feel a bit like the killer move of the old man when the two of them played chess on weekdays.

In daily chess, Ning Yi either takes a different sword or opens and closes. In short, his style is obvious, but the old man is central and peaceful, holding the doctrine of the hand. This time his chess piece falls, which really makes people feel the pressure of being unable to escape. On the other hand, it is really silent, making people unable to get angry at all...
