Volume 1 Battle in the Sand Garden Chapter 23 Calling out to divorce the engagement
These days, a woman's reputation is very important. What good can happen if someone kidnapped her?
When encountering this kind of thing, most people will not redeem the person, but leave him to fend for himself. Even if he is cruel, there is nothing he can do about it. People's words are terrible, and even if the person is rescued, the neighbors will still gossip. Therefore,
Once a woman encounters such a disaster, she has almost no way to survive. She must either commit herself to bandits or commit suicide.
The reason why Shi Yong hesitated was not because of this matter. The Xiaoqi camp has the responsibility of arresting, but it does not have the power to judge. If a criminal is arrested, he needs to be escorted to the Shayuan Prison for trial. However, there are exceptions for the military. For example, the arrest of fine work
, Shayuan Supervisor has no right to intervene. Instead, Xiaoqiying Xingwen guards Ma Junsi and then acts according to orders.
The Langshan bandits obviously belong to the civil affairs, and the captured thieves must be escorted to Shayuan Prison for trial.
The Langshan bandits have tattoos as a mark, so there is no need to interrogate them. Several brewers are not innocent people if they are colluding with them. If they cut their tongues, they are not afraid of them talking nonsense and thus implicating the Qin family.
However, the two women cannot do it. As the masters of suffering, they cannot be killed or beaten. Once they arrive at Shayuan Prison, if they tell the truth in a panic, they will be caught. Yao Pingyuan, as the supervisor of Shayuan Prison, if he gets involved,
The Qin family cannot escape its involvement. Yao Pingyuan used this to attack, and Qin Yutian's arguments were useless.
The two miserable women now became hot potatoes.
"What should we do?" Qin Chong was also worried.
"The two women will stay here for now, and we will relocate them when we have a proper solution." Shi Yong thought for a while and said.
"Okay." Qin Zhong had no choice but to do this for now.
Shi Yong and others escorted the Langshan bandits and hurried back to the military camp. Suddenly, the entire workshop became empty. Qin Chong was in a bad mood and wandered back and forth in the yard. Not only did his plan to make a fortune fail, but also many others
I have a trouble. I can’t let it go, I can’t keep it. After thinking about it, I don’t know how to arrange the two women.
"Alas." Qin Zhong looked up to the sky and sighed, "Go and bring them here."
San Bao'er could tell that Qin Zhong was in a irritable mood. Without saying a word, he trotted all the way to lead the two women to Qin Zhong. The two women tidied up and looked dignified except for their red faces.
When he saw Qin Zhong, he bowed timidly, lowered his head, and nervously tugged at the corners of his clothes.
"The thief has been caught, what are your plans?" Qin Zhong asked in a slow tone.
When the two women heard this, they shed tears first. After a while, they fell to their knees.
"The little girl is homeless, please give me a way to survive." The older woman said with sobs and banged her head on the ground, and her forehead suddenly turned blue. The other one, who was slightly younger, saw this.
He also kowtowed with a "bang bang" sound. Qin Chong said hurriedly, "Get up, get up, stop kowtowing."
That night, Qin Zhong saw the woman's sadness from A'e's body. A'e's heavy footsteps, every step seemed to be going to death. She knew it was an abyss, but she had to jump down. How helpless was that?
Therefore, Qin Zhong understood the two women in front of him. If he did not take them in, they would have no way to survive.
Qin Chong finally relented and sighed and said, "Everyone in the workshop has been arrested. If you are willing, you can settle here temporarily. When the workshop opens again in the future, you will have a living."
"Thank you so much, sir. Thank you so much, sir." The two women cried with joy and kowtowed again and again.
Ants are greedy for life, let alone humans. Who wants to die sadly if they can live?
"There is a cellar there." The younger woman suddenly raised her head, pointed into the distance and said, "There are a lot of gold and silver jewelry hidden in it, all of which were stolen by the thief." She said the thief, the woman
Gritting her teeth, her eyes were filled with deep-seated hatred. Couldn't it be more serious? It ruined her life.
"Really?" Qin Zhong said with a faint smile, not paying much attention to the gold and silver.
San Bao'er was a money man. When he heard that there was gold and silver hidden there, his eyes widened. He immediately ran over, opened the door of the cellar, and jumped in. Immediately afterwards, San Bao'er howled. "There are so many."
Gold and silver." He was so excited that his voice changed into a different tone, sounding like a night owl, which was very catchy.
After counting for a long time, San Bao'er roughly estimated that there were only two or three kilograms of gold ingots, gold jewelry, and various gold utensils. There were more silver ingots, silver jewelry, and jade bracelets and jade pendants. San Bao'er couldn't count them.
Value. In fact, the most valuable thing in the cellar is the usual copper coins, which are piled up like a hill.
Qin Zhong took a look and was secretly shocked. He thought to himself, this Wang Gui is really capable. In more than a year, he has accumulated so many possessions, which shows how many families he has harmed. This is a windfall, and it is not free if you don't take it.
Turning to look at the two women, Qin Zhong said, "You also have a share of the gold and silver here."
"We have one too?" The two women stared wide-eyed and couldn't believe it.
"Of course." Qin Chong chuckled, feeling much happier. "This workshop will reopen in a while. When the time comes, each of you will have a share, and you will get the dividends at the end of the year, and keep it as a sideline."
The two of them couldn't understand the dividends of shares, but Bian Shenqian did. Suddenly, they also understood Qin Zhong's kindness. Qin Zhong not only took them in, but also gave them a living. They couldn't stop crying.
The only way to express gratitude was to kowtow. But Qin Zhong stopped him from kneeling.
"You are not allowed to kneel and kowtow here." Qin Chonghu said with a face.
"Oh." The two women agreed timidly.
There are already people living here, and there is no shortage of food and shelter. San Bao'er led the two of them, tidied up, and settled down temporarily. Qin Zhong looked at the sky and saw that the sun was already slightly westward, about two or three o'clock in the afternoon.
It looked like there was another problem at home that needed to be dealt with, so I called my son and left the brewery.
The gold and silver in the cellar are still piled in the cellar. Not to mention that the weight is not small, there is nowhere to put it when it is taken back, so it is better to hide it here. If the two women really want to wrap up the gold and silver and run away, Qin Chong will save the trouble. On the contrary
I was three-year-old, thinking about the pile of gold and silver, talking non-stop along the way, worrying about gains and losses, and having no peace.
Before I got home, I saw a little maid from a distance, waiting at the intersection. She looked into the distance from time to time, as if she was waiting for someone. She thought she was anxious, and kept walking back and forth. As she got a little closer, San
Bao'er recognized the little maid, she was Qin Muyao's personal maid Juan'er.
Juan'er also saw Qin Zhong, and immediately trotted towards Qin Zhong.
"Third Young Master, you are finally back." Juan'er's face was full of anxiety, and she started complaining.
"What happened?" Qin Zhong thought something happened to Qin Muyao and asked quickly.
"What's the matter?" Juan'er rolled her eyes and made exaggerated gestures with her hands, "It's a big deal."
Qin Zhong's heart suddenly sank, and he had a bad association. He took big steps and hurriedly walked towards the door. Juan'er was stunned for a moment. Seeing Qin Zhong walking away, she hurriedly chased after him. She ran and shouted. , "Third Young Master, why are you leaving in such a hurry? I still have something to say, but I haven't finished it yet. Please stop."
Qin Chong stopped suddenly and waited for the little maid to catch up. After a trot, the tired little maid was panting. After panting for a long time, she said, "Second Miss asked me to tell you that someone came to cancel the engagement."
"Borrow the engagement?" Qin Zhong raised his head and asked, "Borrow the engagement to whom?"
"You." The little maid looked at Qin Chong as if he were a fool.
"Me?" Qin Zhong pointed to the tip of his nose and asked in surprise.
"Yes, yes, it's you." Juan'er nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice.
"When did I get engaged? Why didn't I know?"
The little girl couldn't answer this question, so she closed her mouth and shook her head.
"Who came to break off the engagement?" Qin Chong asked again.
"Two Taoist nuns." The little girl was also confused. Why did the Taoist nuns come to break off the engagement?
"Taoist nun? One big and one small?" Qin Zhong asked, feeling a little flustered for no reason.
"Yes. How do you know?" The little girl nodded again.
Qin Zhong lost the desire to speak, walked through the door and walked straight to the main room.
In the main room, the little Taoist nun Yun Ni stood beside the master with a sad expression. The middle-aged Taoist nun held a whisk in her arms and sat on the guest seat. On the other side of her, Aunt Liu sat sideways, a little reserved. According to etiquette, she She was not qualified to enter the main room to entertain guests. However, the head of the family was not present, so she had to bite the bullet and receive guests.
Obviously, the middle-aged Taoist nun also knew her identity, and her words were quite contemptuous, without even taking a serious look at her.
"I know a little bit about what the Taoist Master said." Aunt Liu paused, and then said, "It's just that the marriage was decided by my mistress, and I didn't have the approval of my husband, so I didn't dare to make the decision." Now, Qin Qin Xiao has not been found yet, and she might have been captured into the Xiaoqi camp. She also asked Qin Zhong to save him, how dare she ruin his marriage at will.
"Humph." The middle-aged Taoist nun snorted coldly, but she was helpless.
It was a coincidence that they came. Qin Yutian went to Yanzhou on official business. Now the head of the household was just a concubine, so how could he dare to make the decision and accept the annulment of the engagement. She retreated to the next best thing and wanted to talk to Qin Zhong, but she didn't know that Qin Zhong was not at home either. If she had known it, It was so embarrassing. I should have said it clearly in one sentence in front of Qin Zhong last night, but it was simple.
However, getting engaged is a big deal, and breaking off the engagement is also a big deal. There used to be a marriage contract between the two families, but now if you want to cancel the engagement, you have to have the husband agree and return the marriage contract. How can it be done casually with just one sentence?
However, the Taoist nun has a strong and domineering temperament, and there is no way around what she has determined.
"I will stay at Changqing Temple for three days." The middle-aged Taoist nun said with a proud look on her face, "Tell Qin Chong to come see me within three days with the marriage certificate. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
"I want to hear how you can be so polite?" Qin Zhong stepped through the door.
"Qin Zhong." The Taoist nun shouted, and her face darkened. Qin Zhong's rude question obviously offended her, which made the Taoist nun very angry. The little goodwill she had accumulated yesterday was suddenly gone.
Qin Chong came to the aid of a stranger and rescued a strange woman. This kind of conduct was highly recognized by the Taoist nun. If it were not for the marriage with the Qin family, the Taoist nun would not hesitate to praise her. However, Yun Ni is her favorite descendant, and there will be a better one in the future. Future. At this moment, Qin Chong's vague hostility aroused her determination to end the matter.
The two looked at each other coldly, both with decisive attitudes, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.
When the little Taoist nun saw Qin Zhong come in, her heart suddenly felt empty, as if she skipped a beat. Standing behind the master and secretly looking at Qin Zhong, she couldn't tell what she felt. Two people who were originally unrelated, these two
The two of them suddenly had an intersection, and an inexplicable feeling quickly grew involuntarily.
Even Yun Ni herself didn't know that she was indifferent to the matter of breaking off the engagement from the beginning, but at this moment, she actually had some faint resistance. Originally, Qin Yutian and Qin Zhong were not at home, and the master was frustrated in breaking off the engagement. Yun Ni secretly grew up
He breathed a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, Qin Zhong suddenly came back.
Yun Ni's heart suddenly rose again, and she stared at Qin Zhong angrily.
"Come here." Qin Zhong left the Taoist nun and called to Yunni.
"What for?" Yun Ni muttered, seemingly reluctant, but still walked over.
"Are we engaged to be married?" Qin Zhong asked seriously.
"Yeah." Yun Ni lowered his head, his face burning.
"The orders of the parents, the words of the matchmaker?" Qin Chong asked again.
"Yeah." Although it was a baby kiss, it was also set by the parents of both parties, so naturally he agreed with the marriage rules. Yun Ni thought so, couldn't help but nodded, and responded softly. A small face suddenly turned red.
"So, you are my unmarried wife?" Qin Zhong looked at the little Taoist nun Yun Ni with a smile on his face. He reached out and grabbed Yun Ni's wrist, and gently pulled Yun Ni to his side.
Yun Ni was so embarrassed that her face turned red. Is she here to break off the engagement? Why did she become his unmarried wife after just a few words? She suddenly raised her foot and stamped on Qin Zhong's instep. Qin Zhong had already expected it in his heart.
, but stood still, letting the little Taoist nun get mad, and still looked at her with a smile.
"Presumptuous." The middle-aged Taoist nun was furious and shouted sharply.
Qin Zhong raised his head and met the Taoist nun's angry eyes. Qin Zhong didn't take it seriously and held Yun Ni's wrist and refused to let go. The little Taoist nun struggled to no avail and could only let him go bitterly.
"Who are you? How dare you come to my house and act recklessly?"
"Haha." The middle-aged Taoist nun laughed angrily, her eyes seemed to be spitting fire, and she had a faint murderous intention.
"Qin Zhong, you must not be rude." Yun Ni said softly, "She is my master Qingyun Sanren."
"Qin Chong." Qingyun Sanren took a deep breath, calmed down, and took a step forward. "I think you are still young, so I won't argue with you. Go get the marriage certificate, and let's settle it."
"Taoist Priest Qingyun." Qin Zhong chuckled and said, "I'm not young anymore, I'm old enough to get married."
Hearing this, the little Taoist nun was immediately angry. She raised her leg and kicked Qin Zhong on the calf. Qin Zhong jumped back exaggeratedly, grinning as if he was in pain. Yun Ni looked at Qin Zhong's antics and puffed out.
For a moment, I couldn't help but laugh out loud. I realized something was wrong, so I quickly covered my mouth and glanced at the middle-aged Taoist nun.
Qingyun Sanren was completely angry, and his Taoist robe did not move in the wind. He flicked the fly whisk and put it on his left arm. As if teleporting, he felt his figure flash, Qingyun had arrived in front of Qin Zhong, turned his wrist, and slapped Qin Zhong with a palm.
Heavy chest.
"Master, I don't want it." Yun Ni was shocked and stretched out his arms to block Qin Chong.
