Because of the daytime events, the inn was a little deserted. When Qi Ping stepped into the main entrance, what he saw was a strange scene.

Several officials were sitting on the tables and chairs on the first floor of the inn, as if they were waiting for something. Fan Er and Qi Shu were standing by the counter. Inside was the wife and brother of the deceased owner, who is now the shopkeeper.

The atmosphere was a little tense.

When Qi Ping appeared, one after another looked at him at the same time.

On Qi Shu's thin face, big eyes lit up suddenly, and Fan Er's small eyes snapped open, and the two walked up quickly.

"What's going on?" Qi Ping asked in a low voice.

Fan Er grabbed his sleeve with one hand, and said in a low voice, "About two quarters of an hour ago, these officials came and said they had something to ask you for, and asked what it was, but they didn't say anything."

Qi Shu came over, frowned, and nodded vigorously.

Find me?Qi Ping's eyes moved, and he looked at several officials walking towards him, most of them were unfamiliar faces, but there were also "acquaintances".

During the murder case in the afternoon, the inspector led by him was also involved, but he was not the team leader.

"You are Qi Ping." The leader officer stared at him and said in declarative sentences.

Qi Ping frowned: "Several messengers are looking for me, what's the matter?"

The leader said stiffly: "We are the catchers of the Shangyuan County Government. Someone reported that you were involved in a case and was ordered to be interrogated. Come with us."

The tone is very bad.

"It's the case in the afternoon." Inside the counter, the young shopkeeper put on a smile, hurried over, flatteringly said:

"The villain is the one who suffers. Thanks to Mr. Qi's righteous words, he has been wronged. All the officials, is there... a misunderstanding?"

"It has nothing to do with your business," the leader said, "Anyone who obstructs the case will be regarded as an accomplice."

Qi Ping raised his eyebrows.

At this time, he couldn't feel any abnormality anymore, so he was really stupid. What he was worried about really happened. Was it Xu Fu's attack?The other party is really so bold?

He was a little surprised, and suddenly understood why the emperor wanted to establish the Zhenfu Division.

Perhaps, it is precisely because the elites of this empire have corrupted to a certain extent.

Only a sharp knife is needed to heal the empire.

On the side, Fan Er and Qi Shu changed color at the same time.

"Come on, this is definitely a misunderstanding." The shopkeeper panicked, took out an ingot of snowflake silver from his pocket, and handed it over familiarly: "Master, you have found the wrong person."

The official took it, weighed it, and sternly shouted: "Bribing the official will make the crime even worse!"

The young shopkeeper turned pale with fright.

"I'll go back with you." Qi Ping said with a sigh.

Qi Shu showed fear, grabbed his hand, bit her lip, trembling.

"Qi Ping, you..." Fan Er was anxious.

He didn't understand what happened, or rather, he vaguely guessed that it might be Xu Fu's revenge, but he couldn't believe it.

"You don't have that or something, take..." He wanted to say the eldest princess's personal letter, and wanted to mention the governor, but Qi Ping shook his head and interrupted him, looking at several officials:

"Can I have a few words with my friend?"

The leader was about to scold, but the familiar inspector spoke first: "Just say a few words, don't try to escape."

"Thank you." Qi Ping said, pulling Xiaomei and Fan Er aside.

First he appeased the girl, and immediately took out the "temporary waist card" from his bosom, handed it to Fan Er, and said in a low voice:

"You take this and go to the Zhenfusi Yamen immediately. If someone stops you, just show this thing. Over there, find Pei Shaoqing and tell him what happened here. He will naturally understand what to do."

Fan Er was stunned.

"Do you hear me clearly?" Qi Ping asked.

"Understood..." He nodded subconsciously, "It will definitely be delivered!"

"Shopkeeper, please take care of my sister first, I will go back as soon as I go." Qi Ping looked at the young shopkeeper again.

The latter was full of guilt, choked up, and nodded heavily: "Young master, don't worry."

"Have you finished? Let's go!" the official urged.

Qi Ping smiled at them, turned his head and let them tie their hands, and walked outside.

But the heart is getting colder and harsher, Xu Mansion... want to give performance so much?Then you will be fulfilled.

……

……

When the group left, everyone in the inn was anxious and anxious. Fan Er didn't dare to delay, knowing that the only person who could save Qi Ping at this moment was probably the Zhen Fu Si.

He found a carriage from the shopkeeper and hurried to the inner city.

"Miss Qi, you go upstairs to rest. I'll find someone to fix it. Mr. Qi's troubles must be due to our success. Even if we spend all our money, we will definitely rescue you."

The young shopkeeper gritted his teeth and tried to persuade him.

Qi Shu just stood still in the lobby, as if she had lost her soul. After a while, she suddenly thought of something.

At this moment, walking out of this small northwest county, a poor girl with low self-esteem suddenly burst out with fearless courage.

She looked at the shopkeeper suddenly: "I'm going to the inner city, find someone, you help me."

The shopkeeper was stunned, and without asking who he was looking for, he nodded vigorously: "Okay."

……

inner city.

"Hurry up!" Fan Er sat in the carriage, opened the curtain, and urged loudly.

After nightfall, there are a lot fewer pedestrians in the inner city. Fortunately, there is no curfew. Therefore, as long as you pass through the inner city gate, you are generally less likely to be stopped for interrogation.

"Guest, don't rush, it takes a lot of effort for my horse to run." The coachman looked embarrassed.

Fan Er took out the purse and threw it over: "Is it enough?!"

The coachman was shaken, his whip whipped through the night wind, and his speed soared: "Sit still!"

Not long after, the carriage arrived. Fan Er jumped out of the carriage, vomited heavily, but ignored it, wiped it with his sleeve, resisted the dizziness, and rushed to the gate of Zhenfu Siya.

"Stop whoever comes!" The guard sternly shouted.

Fan Er hastily handed over the certificate: "My lord, if you dare to ask Pei Shaoqing, is Mr. Pei here? I need something urgent."

The guard frowned, took the receipt, glanced at it, and was slightly taken aback: "Qi Ping? Who are you to him?"

"We are fellow villagers and friends. He was arrested, please save him." Fan Er was anxious.

The guards changed color. They had already heard that there was a monstrous newcomer in the yamen.

"Wait a minute, I'll make an announcement." The guard turned around and ran into the yamen, turning around and finding the entrance where Pei Shaoqing was.

Halfway there, I saw a few figures approaching, obviously they were going to leave at night.

Pei Shaoqing was talking to a black-faced man in official robes from hundreds of households beside him, when he saw the guards rushing towards him.

"Why are you panicking?" Yu Qing frowned and asked.

He hates most of his subordinates to be sloppy.

The guard saluted: "My lord, the new captain Qi Ping and his friend came to ask for help..."

He immediately relayed the situation.

After the words fell, Pei Shaoqing was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Could it be the Xu family's revenge?"

Yu Qing looked at him with cold eyes: "What's going on?"

Pei Shaoqing was about to talk about the case in the afternoon, about the collusion between the servants of the Xu family and the barbarians, and finally said angrily:

"Qi Ping just arrived in the capital today, so there is no case involved, it must be revenge!"

Yu Qing smiled, and there was a bitter coldness in the smile:

"Okay, very good, the person who dared to touch my Zhen Fusi... is interesting.

Let's go to the Shangyuan County Government! "

……

……

Prince's Mansion.

"Who is it?" Outside the majestic and luxurious gate of the mansion, the soldiers on duty looked at the galloping horse in the distance, and held their sabers.

It is already a crime to dare to gallop a horse near the Prince's Mansion.

The poor horse slowed down, the soldier was stunned for a moment, and found that the rider was actually a thin and small girl.

Can't help but be surprised.

These days, ordinary women don't understand royal horses.

"I want to see the princess." Qi Shu dismounted, looked at the guard, and said with great courage.

She knew that there were still two people in this city who could save her eldest brother.

But the eldest princess lives in the palace, she can't get in, only the prince's mansion, which is in the inner city, can be touched.

"You can see the princess." The guard was furious and wanted to drive him away, but he thought of the character of his own princess, and added: "Which family are you from? Do you have an invitation?"

Qi Shu was about to speak.

Suddenly, there was noise from the opposite street, and a luxurious carriage drove slowly, surrounded by soldiers.

The vehicle stopped, and a woman's gentle voice came out: "What's going on?"

Qi Shu turned her head, clenched her fists, and repeated loudly: "I want to see the princess."

There was a short silence, and there was a clear and pleasant whisper in the carriage, and then, Princess Anping, who was wearing a pink palace dress and had a delicate face, poked her head out and said in surprise:

"Little dumb? Have you come to Kyoto? Where's Qi Ping?"

Because Qi Shu didn't like to talk and was silent, Anping called her little mute.

"My brother was taken away by the Yamen." Qi Shu's voice was hoarse and weeping.

Anping's pretty face sank: "Speak clearly!"
