Prince Regent's Concubine

In the evening, the hidden guard who went out came back and told Ling Qingshi and Xiao Chuyi that they had found the hiding place of the Lin family.

But the situation is not very good, the mine is dark, the smell is not good, all the Lin family members are injured and cannot move, and the food is not good. They will all die in the mine.

Ling Qingshi's face was sullen, "Have you found out who owns the mine where they were imprisoned?"

"The Qin family," the dark guard replied.

"Then besides the Ling family and the Qin family, are there other people involved in this matter?"

"There is also the Marquis of Anning's Mansion, but there is only a leader helping to prevent the Lin family's affairs from spreading, and nothing else is done."

Ling Qingshi pinched his chin in thought, no one from Zhi'er was involved in this matter, so he didn't know whether it was good or not.

After all, if they moved the entire Kaiyang County, the children's interests must be damaged. It is estimated that there is not a lot of deployment in Kaiyang County.

If they got involved, they would take revenge openly and aboveboard, and they didn't take the initiative, so it made sense.

Xiao Chuyi guessed what Ling Qingshi was thinking, and said to him, "Don't worry, Kaiyang County is not a long-term matter, and they have already arranged a way out."

Ling Qingshi was not worried, but felt that it would not be long before he would confront Zhi'er and the others head-on.

"Then let's take a step and see, maybe they will come to us on their own initiative," Ling Qingshi said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the hidden guards guarding the roof flew down to report, "My lord, my concubine, many people have entered the next door, like a whole family."

That is, the county magistrate's family moved back to live again, but they didn't come back during the day, and they only came back at night, which was abnormal at first glance.

"Go and find out how many people have returned, and if there is any movement, everyone else should go down and rest, and look for other clues tomorrow." Xiao Chuyi ordered.

After the person left, only Ling Qingshi and Xiao Chuyi were left in the room, and they began to discuss the next plan. The Lin family could not survive for a few days, so they had to be rescued as soon as possible, and to save the Lin family, the Qin family had to be put in peace. It is difficult to deal with the Hou Mansion and the Ling family all at once.The most important thing is that there are still many ordinary people mining on the mountain, and I am afraid that those families will threaten ordinary people with them.

Xiao Chuyi felt that there was no need to worry about this, this place is not the family of these families, as long as the fate of the family is in the hands of the emperor, then the world will not be turned around here.

It is already a capital offense to open a mine without permission, and if you dare to threaten the lives of the people, it is completely wanting to be punished by the nine clans.

Now the biggest bargaining chip in their hands is the Lin family, because when they can use them to threaten Ling Qing, it will also make him, the regent, a little afraid.

"Tomorrow, maybe there will be a turning point," Xiao Chuyi said suddenly.

Then he pointed at the bed and urged Ling Qingshi to sleep.

Ling Qingshi undressed him, and carried him to the bed, feeling that this person is like his little wife now, and she needs a princess to hug her when she goes to bed.

"How should I say it?" Ling Qingshi continued to talk about the business without expressing the thoughts in his heart.

"Didn't the person next door come back," Xiao Chuyi reminded.

Ling Qingshi suddenly remembered the ledgers and letters he had found in the Cheng family in the neighboring county. As long as those things were sent back to the capital, these families would have to peel off their skins even if they were not dead, not to mention that these people had only a layer of skin left.

"You're right, maybe tomorrow someone will take the initiative to send the handle to us," there is never too much evidence.

Both of them were lying on the bed, Ling Qingshi took off Xiao Chuyi's mask, touched his earlobe with his fingers, "I miss you a little."

Ling Qingshi was actually a little embarrassed, "I haven't been separated for two days, and I don't feel used to you not being by my side."

Xiao Chuyi grabbed Ling Qingshi's hand with his backhand, and leaned over to kiss him, "I miss you too," Xiao Chuyi didn't expect that one day he would not see him like three autumns ago, he used to think that That's just talking.

The two looked at each other, suddenly smiled, and got closer, hugging each other like warm jade in their arms, their whole bodies were a little hot.

……

The next day, just before dawn, there was a knock on the door, and Duobao went to open it.

As soon as he opened the door, he found that there were officers and soldiers outside. The leader was wearing an official uniform. When he saw the door opened, he ordered without asking, "Catch all these thieves!"

Not long after Ling Qingshi and Xiao Chuyi got up, when they heard Ling Qingshi's voice, they pushed Xiao Chuyi out to have a look, and when they appeared, they were surrounded by officers and soldiers.

The leader wearing an official uniform obviously changed his face when he saw Xiao Chuyi sitting in a wheelchair, but he reacted quickly, and continued to command, "Take all these culprits back to the county government, and I will interrogate them well."

Ling Qingshi and Xiao Chuyi didn't talk about their demeanor, but their clothes made them look like ordinary people. When they approached the two of them, they felt a faint sense of oppression. These officers and soldiers felt panicked. They didn't dare to arrest anyone.

Ling Qingshi looked at the leading official, "Who are you? Arrest people when you come to the door, who gave you the right?"

There was coolness in Ling Qingshi's eyes, and the leading officer looked a bit hypocritical, but he still bit the bullet and said: "I am the county magistrate of Kaiyang County, you wait for thieves to break into other people's houses, intending to seek wealth and kill you, This officer is going to arrest you and go back for interrogation today, why not!"

"No, but you should say what you said first, instead of arresting people when you enter the door. There is no reason. This kind of behavior looks like a bandit instead of a government official. Or is Kaiyang County different from other places? Officials have the final say, they can do whatever they want, and they can arrest whoever they want."

"Bold! How dare you question the Yamen's handling of the case? Is it possible that you still want to resist? Let me take it down. If you dare to resist, you will be killed on the spot!" The official was even more guilty when Ling Qingshi said it, and he became angry directly from embarrassment.

Ling Qingshi couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, "He is really a good official of Dachu, I think the emperor will be happy to know."

Then he looked at the officers and soldiers around him, not intending to embarrass them, "Since we must go to the yamen, then we will accompany you, Duobao, go and call everyone out."

Duobao is a servant, these soldiers are naturally not afraid of him, and the knife was placed on his neck early.Following Ling Qingshi's orders, Duobao glared at his detainees, then broke free and ran to the back.

After a while, Duobao appeared with Lin Xun in his arms, followed by the palace guards brought by Xiao Chuyi yesterday.

The dark guards naturally did not show their faces, not even An Yi.

The guards of the palace were wearing armor, with swords around their waists, and spears in their hands. They were the regent's personal guards, and they were of high class.

Seeing that their status was higher than these officers and soldiers, the officers and soldiers who were already a little bit cowardly became even more cowardly when they saw people. No matter how stupid they were, they knew that they were not ordinary people.

When the official saw that the faces of the guards brought out by Duobao became even uglier, his guess just now became true. He had the audacity to bring someone to arrest the regent, which was equivalent to sending him to his door to seek death.
