Trouble begins

Study room in the outer courtyard.

Qin Guanzhong stood in front of the writing desk with his brows furrowed.

When Qin Shen arrived, he saw his face was gloomy and tired.

He bowed and stepped forward, "What news did father get?"

Qin Guanzhong asked him to sit down, and asked someone to guard the door and lower his voice.

"I did get the news. It's not really good news."

He said that when the imperial court sent people down, it was not to allocate funds for disaster relief, nor to appease the people, nor to punish traitorous officials.

Instead, the queen's brother, Xingshenghou Lou Chuntai, led the troops to suppress the anti-people!

"That's all," Qin Guanzhong glanced at Qin Shen, "The palace asked Lou Chuntai to come, first of all, to control the commanders and generals in Shandong, to control the troops first and then to govern the people. Maybe in the future, Lou Chuntai will let him supervise the army.

Go to various guard posts and station yourself in the guard posts to ensure that the suppression of anti-people will be effective."

Qin Guanzhong was not too afraid of the supervisory army monitoring him. After all, when he was walking outside and in the court, even Xing Landong could not catch his pigtails.

But in this way, the local health stations can only use ruthless measures to suppress the rebellious people.

Qin Shen immediately thought of Sun Wenjing, "Mr. Sun has been secretly helping the people in Yanzhou and other places, and has also gathered a group of scholars to make suggestions. Now that things are going like this, I'm afraid that Mr. Sun's safety is in danger."

The Qin family's private soldiers have always been under the control of Qin Shen. While Qin Shen was recuperating at Liefeng Mountain House, although he could not lead the troops himself, his private soldiers followed his wishes and protected Sun Wenjing and others.

At present, Lou Chuntai has sent supervisory troops to various places, and the pressure of officers and soldiers to suppress them has increased sharply. Qin's private soldiers may not be able to protect Sun Wenjing and others.

Seeing that he had already thought of this, Qin Guanzhong frowned and nodded.

"That's right. If Mr. Sun is arrested, Lou Chuntai, Xing Landong and others will definitely not let him go, and the people who have finally gathered together may also be dispersed."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Qin Shen.

Qin Shen didn't need him to say much to understand, "I'll go there overnight."

The next day the clouds gathered, the sky was overcast, and the wind was a bit cool.

Qin Tian was called to the upper room for breakfast by Mrs. Qin early in the morning.

Mrs. Qin has become less sick today and is in much better spirits. She asked Qin Tian a few questions about how she was playing by the river in the city last night.

"It should be more lively than Zhucheng, right?"

It's more lively than Zhucheng. Zhucheng doesn't have such a river in the city full of river lanterns.

Qin Tian praised her a lot sincerely and thanked Mrs. Qin for showing him the way.

Mrs. Qin smiled and said, "When I was young, I also liked to play like this. I don't have a girl beside me anymore, so I can only urge you to play."

As she spoke, she suddenly remembered something, "I heard that your brother came back with you last night?"

Qin Tian said yes, "Big brother also put up river lanterns. I wanted to see what blessings he wrote, but he didn't show them to me. Even if I wanted to exchange them with him, he wouldn't."

"Ah?" Mrs. Qin had never heard of such a son before, and asked Qin Tian in disbelief, "Then what did he write?"

Qin Tian helplessly spread his hands, "Big brother didn't tell me in the end."

Mrs. Qin laughed out loud, "Si Jin is really cool."

As she said this, she still felt that her son would put out river lanterns. She really didn't expect that even when he was a child, he would not do such a thing.

"Then why did he go to the river?"

Qin Tian shook his head, "I don't know, my eldest brother came suddenly. I also bought three very expensive river lanterns, but I didn't bring a penny with me. Fortunately, I brought the money to pay for them."

When Mrs. Qin heard this, she almost choked, and then she burst into laughter.

"How come you didn't even bring any money? Fu Wen didn't follow him?"

"It wasn't there at the time. Guard Fu came over later."

Mrs. Qin rubbed her chest and stopped laughing after a while.

"Maybe you're passing by? Why didn't you bring any money?" Mrs. Qin couldn't guess.

But Qin Tian couldn't help but think of how he suddenly fished out the river lantern from the water and took out the bracelet.

But Qin Tian couldn't figure out these trivial matters, so he didn't tell Mrs. Qin.

Mrs. Qin asked Qin Shen more about how to put the lamp, but she still found it unimaginable.

However, she also noticed that the little girl changed her words and called her elder brother.

Mrs. Qin felt happy. The more she looked at Qin Tian, ​​the more she liked him. She couldn't help but think of Ye Zhichen and Lu Wanying. If they were alive in heaven, they should hope that everything goes well for the girl.

However, Qin Tian finished breakfast at Mrs. Qin's place and saw neither his father Qin Guanzhong nor his eldest brother Qin Shen. The former was always busy, so Qin Tian didn't feel surprised that he didn't see her, but the latter clearly said that he wanted to go with her today.

Return to Liefeng Mountain House.

Just as she was having doubts, she saw Wei You coming to look for her with a serious look on his face.

"Girl, the young master has something to do. He left the house last night. He left a message for his subordinates to escort the girl back to Liefeng Shanfang. The young master will go back in a few days."

Qin Tian was surprised.

I left the house overnight last night and it will take some time before I can come back.

"Did something happen?"

Wei You didn't know the details and shook his head with Qin Tian.

"The young master asked the girl to go back early. She can study in the academy with peace of mind in the past few days and don't go out for now."

This made Qin Tian couldn't help but think of being kidnapped. She was always well-behaved, so she immediately went back to Chaoyunxuan and asked people to pack her things. She said goodbye to Mrs. Qin and returned to Liefeng Shanfang.

But when the carriage left Qin's house and walked in the city, it was discovered that there were more officers and soldiers on patrol. Yesterday's noisy streets seemed to have been swallowed up by the night. Today, during the day, everywhere seemed sparse and deserted.

few.

It was even more the case after leaving the city again.

Qin Tian didn't know what Qin Shen had done, so he could only secretly hope that his brother would be well.

Yanzhou Prefecture.

Since entering the territory of Yanzhou Prefecture, one can clearly notice that patrol officers and soldiers are stationed at various intersections and roads.

The further you go inside, the tighter the patrols become.

Qin Shen expected that there would be strict defense, but he did not expect that the court was really determined to suppress it and sent so many people.

Qin Shen frowned and asked Fu Wen to quickly contact the Qin family's private soldiers who stayed locally. It took about half an hour before the three generals who stayed here came to Qin Shen.

"Why did you come?"

His eyes swept across the three of them, and all three of them shivered.

"answer."

Qin Shen spoke again, and one of them came to his senses and stepped forward quickly.

"Master, please calm down. The three subordinates arrived late. The reason is that Mr. Sun was arrested just now!"

"What?" Qin Shen came over overnight, but was still a step too late, "How long have you been arrested? Where are you now?"

The three generals quickly said, "They probably haven't been sent to Dalao and Xing yet. They should still be where they are being caught. If we can take advantage of this to rescue them, we should be able to save Mr. Sun's life."

Before Sun Wenjing rebelled against the imperial court in Yanzhou and other places, he had already been wanted by Xing Landong on the charge of Wen's misfortune, and fled with his family.

And he was secretly supporting the people to resist, and he had already been targeted by Xing Landong. Once he fell into the hands of people sent by the imperial court, he might not be as simple as death.

Unfortunately, he did not receive the news that the imperial court had sent additional manpower. Instead, he was arrested by patrolling officers and soldiers because he went to visit what he thought was the family of the former prince's former subordinates.

The group of soldiers who captured Sun Wenjing also caught him by mistake. When they saw that Sun Wenjing was an important figure wanted by the court, the group of officers and soldiers became nervous. They hurriedly sent someone to deliver a message to the Yamen while sending Sun Wenjing to the Yamen.

He was temporarily detained in a ruined temple, and he was guarded on three levels inside and outside.

Qin Shen had been awake all night, so he had to gather his energy and quickly dispatch people to rescue him while there was still a chance.

The ruined temple is at the intersection into the mountain.

Qin Shen took a group of people directly to the mountain and carefully observed the terrain from top to bottom.

After taking a brief look, he had a rescue method in his mind.

However, just as they were about to call for deployment, chaos suddenly broke out in the ruined temple.

Qin Shen stood on the mountain and saw a group of people rushing out of the forest on the side. Two people in the middle were holding one person and running quickly. That person turned out to be Sun Wenjing.

Someone came to the rescue in advance.

Qin Shen immediately changed his strategy and brought his men to support.

The officers and soldiers in the team who accidentally caught Sun Wenjing panicked.

It was a great achievement for them to catch Sun Wenjing, but if they were kidnapped halfway, this great achievement would turn into a big mistake.
