Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Jiang Qingwu fell drowsily against the wall. As he gradually lost consciousness, he seemed to have returned to the scene in his dream.

Only this time, it was not a magnificent palace, but a bloody massacre scene, a massacre of hundreds of people.

She was not very tall, and standing behind the kneeling people, she was not much taller than them.

After hearing the command, someone raised a knife.

The moment her head fell to the ground, someone covered her eyes and then she was carried away.

When he stood still again, he was surrounded by people.

She couldn't see clearly the older brother next to her, but his voice sounded like he was about seventeen or eighteen years old.

He protected her behind him, knelt down and pleaded for her, "She is innocent, she is just an eight-year-old child, let her go."

"She saw something she shouldn't have seen, and she deserves to die."

She huddled up and looked at the person riding the horse. Under the scorching sun, she couldn't see his face clearly, but she felt terribly cold.

"No, she saw nothing, and she won't say anything."

"Only the dead can't speak." A sword came towards her, and the older brother beside her stood in front of her and took the sword for her.

Then, covering his wound, he kowtowed respectfully to the man on the horse.

"I have a way... I have a way to make her never speak."

……

When Jiang Qingwu was about to faint, Jiu Ye led his troops to search here.

Jiu Ye was riding a horse outside the courtyard, and the royal guards and the city patrol guards rushed in, holding torches, and searched the house inside and out.

Chun Sao and Tian Chun protected Ah Ying behind them and stood under the sycamore tree, too timid to speak a word.

Jiu Ye looked around the yard and didn't find anything wrong.

"General Lu... we have searched everything, and there is nothing suspicious."

Jiu Ye looked at his subordinates who were reporting back, pulled the reins, and turned the direction, "Let's go to the next one."

Seeing Jiu Ye and the others leave, Chun Sao and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, fortunately we were not discovered, otherwise we would have had enough heads to chop off." Tian Chun was so scared that he quickly sat on the stone bench.

Mrs. Chun came back to her senses and thought of Jiang Qingwu, "I'll go see her."

As she was talking, Mrs. Chun went to the backyard, but before she had gone far, she heard a "bang".

The fat man who had come before brought more people with him. After breaking in, they immediately controlled the family of three.

"Mother..." As soon as Ah Ying shouted, someone covered her mouth and nose.

"You, you let my daughter go. I have money and I will pay you back..." Tian Chun struggled and shouted.

But this time the fat man was much calmer. He sat down on the stone bench and looked around. "I not only want the money, I also want that girl."

"What...what girl, I don't know what you are talking about?" Tian Chun responded with forced calmness.

But as soon as he finished speaking, the fat man grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it out.

With a "crack", Tian Chun immediately shrank back in fear.

"She's gone... gone!"

"Gone? You must be lying. Don't think I don't know that the girl has offended the imperial court. The whole village has been searched..."

"If she had left, she would have been caught long ago."

As he spoke, the fat man walked towards Tian Chun, pinched his face and threatened, "That girl might be a traitor to the court. If you keep her, you will be killed. It's better to give her to me."

"I'll sell it for a good price."

"If you cooperate, I will let your daughter go, and I won't pursue the matter of you killing my men."

"Otherwise, I will not only arrest your daughter, but also report you to the police and accuse you of murder."

Tian Chun hesitated for a moment, thinking about something with an uneasy look on his face, which made the fat man even more certain that Jiang Qingwu was in his hands.

"In fact, think about it, if she were caught by soldiers, she might be beheaded."

"If she follows me, at most she will be sold to a brothel, but she can still keep her life, which is also a good thing for her."

Tian Chun looked at the fat man hesitantly and blurted out, "If I follow you, can you avoid the soldiers?"

"Yes, of course. Ask around about my fat brother's reputation. Everyone in and outside the capital knows him. It's not easy to hide a woman there."

The fat man rubbed his hands together as he spoke, his eyes sparkling, "That girl is so pretty, it would be a shame to chop off her head, but she can be sold for a good price."

Seeing Tian Chun was about to speak, he was suddenly interrupted by Sister Chun behind him, "What you said does make sense, but you came too late, and the girl really left."

"Just now, the soldiers came to search, and she ran away out of fear. I don't know if she has been caught now."

"Really?" The fat man walked towards Mrs. Chun with a questioning look in his eyes. "We have been hiding outside, so why didn't we see her escape?"

"Maybe you didn't pay attention." Mrs. Chun agreed firmly, but the fat man didn't believe it.

He smiled, sat on the stone bench and waved to his men.

"Go, turn this house upside down..."

On the other side, Jiu Ye continued his search and soon met Yan Xiuchen and Nan Xiuye.

“Your Majesty…” Jiu Ye dismounted and walked quickly towards Yan Xiuchen, “Godfather, we have searched the entire village… but still no trace of him.”

The light in Yan Xiuchen's eyes dimmed after Jiu Ye said this.

His eyes drooped slightly, and the crystal light in his eye sockets condensed into tears, falling silently.

In just two days and one night, he didn't drink a drop of water, never slept a wink, and looked visibly more haggard.

Nan Xiuye ​​felt uncomfortable when he saw this. Just when he was about to say something, the sound of horse hooves and hurried shouts came to his ears in the distance.

"Gee...Gee, Achen..." Gu Yanbai was riding a horse, shouting and shaking a box in his hand.

When he got close, he threw the box over through the air.

"Look... look at what's inside." Gu Yanbai panted.

Yan Xiuchen's heart tightened and he hurriedly opened the box. Inside the box lay Jiang Qingwu's jewelry, gold hairpins, pearl flowers, and earrings.

It was these jewelry that Jiang Qingwu gave to Tian Chun and asked him to sell for money.

"Where did you get it from? This belongs to Gu Qing...where did you find it?"

"In the pawnshop, the pawnshop owner said that at noon a man came to sell something..."

"The boss recognized it as something from the palace, so he sent someone to follow it and reported it to the authorities..."

As soon as Gu Yanbai finished speaking, Awen and Awu hurriedly dismounted from their horses with a servant.

"He, that's him. He's the one who followed that man."

Gu Yanbai said, and shouted at the other party, "Didn't you say it was in Liu Village? Whose family is that man from?"

The young man shrank back in fear, looked around, and said in confusion, "It's dark now, some... I can't recognize it..."

Hearing this, Yan Xiuchen shouted to everyone, "Light the fire!"

Immediately, countless torches were lit, and the Royal Guards and the city patrol guards also immediately illuminated the surrounding intersections.

"Here... go from here..."

Jiu Ye looked in the direction the guy pointed and got on the horse in confusion.

Before they could even say anything, Yan Xiuchen and the others had already followed the young man.

When Yan Xiuchen and a large number of imperial guards arrived at the courtyard, the fat man and his men were searching for Jiang Qingwu inside and outside the house.

But before the person was found, everyone was frightened and lost their composure.

The Imperial Guards, the City Patrol, Nan Xiuye, Yan Xiuchen, Gu Yanbai, together with Jiuye Jiuhan and a large number of experts, surrounded the courtyard in three layers.

The torches illuminated the entire yard and even the surrounding area.

When Mrs. Chun saw the man let go of Aying, she hurriedly hugged her daughter in her arms, and Tian Chun also hurried towards his wife and daughter.

The fat man's men were so scared that they gathered together, and when they saw the army surrounding them, they immediately squatted on the ground.
