Volume 1 Battle in the Sand Garden Chapter 26 The Qiu Family Difficulty
According to today's plan, Qin Zhongzhong went to the city. He wanted to make wine, but the craftsmen who made the wine were all wrapped up in the Langshan bandits, so naturally they could no longer be used. He wanted to hire new craftsmen and start his own money-making plan.
Before he could go out, he was blocked by Qin Muyao.
"Where are you going?" Qin Muyao raised her chin slightly, with an expression like "I knew you were restless."
"Well, let's go to the city."
"You're not allowed to go." Qin Muyao refused to give way.
"Sister, it's a very important thing." Qin Zhong smiled flatteringly.
"The injury has not healed, so you are not allowed to go anywhere."
Qin Zhong had no choice but to return to the room. Qin Muyao smiled proudly and walked into the room. Just as he was about to sit down, he found a bunch of bottles and cans on the table. He picked up one and smelled it.
Strong medicinal smell.
Qin Zhong looked at Qin Zhong in surprise and asked, "Where did you get these medicines?"
"Oh? I bought it." Qin Zhong lied casually.
"Liar." Qin Muyao didn't believe it, wrinkled her nose, and didn't pursue it further. "I'll change your dressing."
As he said that, he glanced at Juan'er beside him. Juan'er put down the tray, approached Qin Zhong, and reached out to untie Qin Zhong's clothes. Qin Zhong had just re-bandaged it last night, so there was no need to change the dressing.
He said hurriedly, "I've changed it, I've changed it."
"Who will change your dressing? Sanbao'er?" Qin Muyao grabbed Qin Zhong and untied his clothes with her own hands. She didn't believe it, how could Sanbao'er, a man with rough hands and feet, be bandaged properly? Suddenly, Qin Muyao looked at her
He was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at the bandage on Qin Zhong's chest. It was bandaged very carefully, with a nice knot tied near his shoulder.
Since when did the crude benzene Sanbao'er have this skill? Careful Qin Muyao suddenly came to Qin Zhong's chest and sniffed. There was a faint fragrance of powder mixed with the smell of medicine. It was vague, but
, but she couldn't hide it from Qin Muyao, who played with makeup every day. Looking at the delicate and well-fitted bandages, her brows suddenly wrinkled.
The person who changed Qin Zhong's dressing and bandaged his wounds was clearly a woman.
Where did the woman come from?
As soon as he saw Qin Muyao's questioning eyes, Qin Chong knew that his casual lie had been seen through by his sister. He immediately smiled and quickly put on his clothes without explaining, then raised his feet to run away.
"Stop." Qin Muyao shouted.
"Sister." Qin Zhong groaned helplessly, not knowing how to explain it.
However, Qin Muyao thought wrongly, thinking that Qin Zhong provoked the maids in the house. This kind of thing was very common in some houses, and many girls from the same house were taken in at such a young age. Even in her own home, Qin Xiao's house, there were more than
A girl with a common room. However, Qin Chong also learned to do this, but Qin Muyao found it difficult to accept it.
"You? How could you." Qin Muyao was so angry that she couldn't continue.
"Sister?" Seeing Qin Muyao being so angry, Qin Zhong said timidly, "Yes, Yun Ni has been here."
"Yun Ni?" Qin Muyao was stunned, and after thinking for a while, she realized who Yun Ni was. Immediately, she knew that she had misunderstood her brother, and couldn't help but smile brightly. "Yun Ni, it turns out that my younger brother and sister have been here."
"Who else could it be?" Qin Zhong said.
While the siblings were talking, a figure flashed at the Moon Cave Gate, and a maid hurriedly walked in.
"I have met the second young lady and the third young master." The maid bowed in greeting.
"What's the matter?" Qin Muyao asked. She knew this maid, the person next to Aunt Liu.
"Replying to the second young lady, Aunt Liu is in a hurry and asks the third young master to go to the hall to talk."
Qin Muyao knew about Qin Chong's plan. When Aunt Liu called her, she thought to herself, that's what happened.
He turned his head and glanced at Qin Zhong, intending to ask, but when it came to the heat?
"I understand." Qin Zhong said lightly.
Suddenly, Qin Zhong felt like he was busy. He had to go to the military camp, and also to Dali County; things about the Cui family and his wife, things about the Weizhou cavalry, things about Qin Xiao, and a wine making workshop. One thing.
Everything was piled up in his heart. Qin Zhong couldn't help but sigh, it would be impossible without his subordinates. If he does everything himself, he will die of exhaustion sooner or later.
First, we must get a horse to travel. This is a top priority. Qin Chong thought.
"How are you now? Is it the heat?" Qin Muyao dismissed the maid and turned around to ask Qin Zhong.
"It's almost done, I'll go see her." Qin nodded and walked out.
Looking at Qin Zhong's leaving figure, Qin Muyao couldn't help but tilt her head. The strange feeling in her heart became stronger and stronger. She had been with Qin Zhong since childhood, and she knew Qin Zhong's temper and temperament very well. However,
Now, where is the slightest bit dull and straightforward in Qin Chong's body? He looks more like a cunning little fox.
After thinking for a long time, Qin Muyao couldn't figure it out and could only attribute it to lightning strike.
The former Qin Zhong was certainly heart-wrenching, but at this time, Qin Zhong had a determined mind and handled every task with ease, which made Qin Muyao feel warmly supported. As he thought about it, a bright smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Let's go." Qin Muyao said, but no one around him responded. Looking back, he saw Juan'er and Xiao Nizi, their heads bent on the table, playing with a bunch of bottles and cans, stealing.
Whisper.
The two little girls are similar in age, and within two days, they have become as good as one. They must follow each other wherever they go, and if they have something delicious, they must leave a portion for each other. Qin Muyao shook her head helplessly and walked in again
Standing between the two of them in the room, he asked angrily, "What else is so fun?"
"Second Miss, where did Brother Qin Chong get this medicine?" Xiao Nizi's eyes shone.
"What's wrong? What's wrong with this medicine?" Qin Muyao asked hurriedly because it was related to Qin Zhong.
"No." Xiao Nizi held up a medicine bottle and said in a long tone, "This bottle is not an ordinary wound medicine. It is a famous hemostasis powder. No matter how serious the injury is, it can stop bleeding immediately."
"Really?" Qin Muyao didn't understand medicine, so she picked up a bottle and looked at it, then leaned closer and smelled it.
"And this." Xiao Nizi picked up another bottle and showed off, "It's a big return pill."
"What is the Great Return Pill?" Juan'er asked.
"This is Taoist's life-saving medicine." Xiao Nizi carefully put the lid on and said, "No matter the internal or external injuries, as long as you are not dead, you can save your life by taking this Dahuan Dan."
Qin Muyao stared at Xiao Nizi and asked in surprise, "Do you recognize all these medicines?"
"Yes." Xiao Nizi nodded and then said, "Dad taught me that he has very good medical skills."
Speaking of her father, Xiao Nizi's expression darkened, she put down the medicine bottle in her hand, took Juan'er's hand, and walked out together. Qin Muyao sighed and followed him out of the house. The Cui family and his wife were still in the military camp and didn't know.
When will they be released home? After all, the Cui family and his wife were innocently implicated in Xixia's case.
At this time, Qin Zhong had arrived in the main room, looked at Aunt Liu, and sat down.
Aunt Liu frowned slightly, not happy with Qin Zhong's attitude. But she asked for help, suppressed her anger, showed a smile, and said, "Your injuries are not serious, right?"
"It's okay." Qin Zhong said lightly, "If you have anything to do with Aunt Liu, please tell me."
"That's it." As soon as Aunt Liu spoke her words, she suddenly started sobbing. After a while, she continued, "In the past few days, the mansion has searched all over Shayuan Prison, but no sign of your eldest brother can be found. I'm afraid, I'm afraid.
.”
Aunt Liu couldn't talk anymore, and the worry in her heart was almost overwhelming her. She thought that if so many people couldn't be found, the worst possibility would be to be caught in the military camp. But she was a woman, even if she was
Qin Yutian's concubine cannot enter the Xiaoqi camp. Others cannot be counted on.
The only hope could only fall on Qin Zhong. She knew that Qin Zhong had a reputation and face in the Xiaoqi camp. Even though he was young, the soldiers still recognized him.
Aunt Liu was in a panic and had no choice but to ask Qin Zhong for help.
"What does Aunt Liu want me to do?" Qin Zhong pretended to be confused and waited for Aunt Liu to open her mouth.
"Now that I can't find him outside, do you think your eldest brother will be captured and sent to the military camp?"
"It's hard to say." Qin Zhong shook his head slowly and frowned slightly.
"Third brother has always been very respectable in the military camp." Aunt Liu praised her and said, "Can you go and ask around so that I can get some accurate information? Your eldest brother and I will definitely remember you."
"Stealing a horse is a serious crime, I'm afraid it's hard to find out." Qin Chong said thoughtfully.
"If you need money, third brother, just ask." Aunt Liu was born as a singer and has seen a lot. How could she not recognize this bit of worldliness? She was not afraid of asking for money, but she was afraid that Qin Chong would not respond.
"Qin Chong does have something, please ask Aunt Liu to fulfill it."
"Say." Aunt Liu knew that Qin Zhong had made an offer.
"Aunt Yun is an old lady in the house. Now that she is getting older, she is no longer suitable to work in the kitchen." Qin Zhong raised his head and glanced at Aunt Liu, and said slowly, "I want to arrange for her to be a front yard steward."
"In charge of the front yard?" Aunt Liu was startled, and then she became angry. "The front yard is full of rude men. It's not convenient for a woman to be in charge. Besides, Yu Qing is conscientious, so he resigned rashly, which is inappropriate."
"It's not inconvenient." Qin Zhong said firmly.
Aunt Liu's chest rose and fell, obviously she was suppressing her anger. However, her son had a big problem and had to compromise.
Gritting his teeth, he agreed, "If Third Brother thinks it's appropriate, then so be it."
"Also." Qin Zhong raised his head and said with a half-smile, "I have some use for that brewery in Lanshan."
"Wine-making workshop?" Aunt Liu was slightly surprised. She knew that the workshop not only did not make money, but also paid a sum of money and food every year. It was purely a money-losing product. She couldn't guess what Qin Zhong's use of it was. Then she said, "The left and right are our own."
My workshop, since Third Brother is useful, I will leave it to you, and the same is true."
"Okay." Qin Zhong stood up, nodded, and walked out. Things went smoothly, even smoother than he expected. Aunt Liu had almost no obstacles to his request. However, Qin Zhong also knew in his heart that Liu
It's not that my aunt has no obstacles, she's just compromising for the time being. Once she regains her breath, she may figure out how to behave like a monster.
After leaving the main room, Qin Zhong walked through the corridor and went straight to the kitchen.
"Aunt Yun, Aunt Yun." Before he even entered the door, Qin Zhong shouted loudly at the top of his voice.
The kitchen was busy, with many people coming in and out. Aunt Yun, who was washing vegetables, raised her head and looked at Qin Zhong in surprise. Qin Zhong took three or two steps to reach Aunt Yun and grabbed it.
She threw the dishes in her hand on the table and dragged Aunt Yun out.
"You kid, you are in such a hurry, where are you going?"
"The front yard." Qin Zhong said without stopping. "Aunt Yun has the final say from now on."
"That's nonsense." Aunt Yun said angrily.
"No nonsense." Qin Zhong suddenly stopped. "From now on, Aunt Yun will be in charge. Whoever dares to disobey you will see if I can beat him to death." He smiled and added, "Only Aunt Yun is in charge of the front yard. I
Only then can I feel at ease.”
Aunt Yun can write and calculate, and she once helped Jiang's housekeeper manage a front yard, so what's the difficulty?
The most important thing is that Qin Zhong knows very well that the only one who can deal with the old aunt is the old aunt.
Aunt Yun is in the front yard, but Aunt Liu can't reach out of the backyard.
Aunt Yun is a smart person, and she understands in the blink of an eye.
He took off his apron, wiped his hands, and said, "Okay, Aunt Yun will watch it for you."
Qin Zhong had already thought about it. After all, Aunt Yun was a woman, and she lived in the backyard. She could focus on accounting books and personnel matters. As for other things, Aunt Yun could choose a few people and arrange them in important positions. However, since
Now that I am in charge, my residence cannot be shabby, so I have to choose a separate large room.
Thinking about it in their minds, the two of them followed each other to the front yard. In the yard, several servants were chatting.
"The Qiu family is really miserable."
"All the wealth was lost overnight."
"I heard that there is still some involvement with the eldest young master." Someone suddenly whispered.
"Stop talking nonsense." Someone scolded, "Do you still want to do it?"
Qiu family? Qin Zhong and Aunt Yun were both stunned. No wonder they were sensitive, the recent affairs with the Qiu family were somewhat involved. After listening for a while, both Qin Zhong and Aunt Yun were a little dumbfounded. The Qiu family was raided.
Already?
The Qiu family was indeed raided. The crime was still horse theft, but there were two more words in front of it, the Qiu family.
This kind of thing would be unimaginable in later generations, but in the feudal dynasty, it was almost inevitable.
Qin Zhong had a sullen face, listening to the previous discussion, and slowly figured out the clues.
Shayuan Supervisor took Qiu Min's confession and was not satisfied with it. Instead, he focused on the Qiu family. The Qiu family grew up with the help of their daughter, but they had no foundation. The family's wealth was huge, but in the eyes of the government, it was just a piece of land without an owner.
Now that we have a God-given opportunity, how can we let it pass lightly? Now we united with Dali County and raided the Qiu family.
There is Tongzhou Tongpan behind the Qiu family, but he may not dare to rescue the Qiu family.
Nowadays, the northwest and Xixia are unstable, and the imperial court is trying its best to prepare for war. Food, grass, horses, and ordnance are naturally the top priority. Who dares to be accused of hindering war preparations at this time? If the war goes unfavorably, this is an excellent way to take the blame.
Excuse: Tongzhou Tongjian is not stupid, and Shayuan Supervisor and Dali County are also not stupid.
There were more than 40 members of the Qiu family, together with hundreds of salt shops, and they were arrested and imprisoned. Overnight, the Qiu family collapsed, shocking Shayuan Supervisor and Dali County. However, there were few sympathizers, and
There are many people who take pleasure in misfortune. This has a great relationship with the Qiu family's behavior after they became rich. Just by looking at Qiu Min's behavior, you can tell a lot.
Qin Zhong couldn't be said to be happy when the Qiu family suffered, nor did he feel guilty. It was true that Qiu Min stole the horse, and it was also true that he wanted to forcefully marry his sister. Only these two things, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Qiu family suffered. However, Qin Zhong felt grievances.
, but it was aimed at the worldliness of this bastard. To be honest, he underestimated the greed of officials.
In order to seize benefits, they use all kinds of tricks to make things look ugly.
The so-called county magistrate who destroyed the family and the governor who destroyed the family was indeed correct.
