Chapter 179: You sneak attacked my uncle, take my stick!
There were only Shen Ruyi and Xiao Xiu'er in the side courtyard of the government office. They were eating happily, one sitting on a small bench on the ground, and the other sitting on the edge of the kang.
The two people were talking in words that only they could understand, happily eating braised chicken legs and melon seeds. Finally, when they were tired, they ate some fruit.
Shen Ruyi was tired and asked Xiao Xiu'er to sleep inside her, but the little girl refused and wanted to sleep on the footstool. Shen Ruyi was worried that the child would catch a cold, so she used one of her own small mattresses to cover her!
When Madam Cao came back and entered the room, she saw the little girl sleeping on the footstool, spread out with Shen Ruyi's small quilt and covered with Shen Ruyi's cloak. Both of them were sleeping on the bed with Shen Ruyi, and it looked so uncomfortable, one on top of the other!
Madam Cao smiled and slowly left the room and went to the kitchen. She started to make chicken soup for Shen Ruyi, taking good care of the young county lady to repay her kindness!
Everyone was feeling sleepy at noon. Crown Prince Qin Jinan was busy enough at the government office. After having lunch with Wei Zhendong, he took Jiusheng back to the backyard.
At this time, the secret guards were also resting and eating. Crown Prince Qin Jinan asked Jiusheng to carry some snacks. When they came to the outside of Shen Ruyi's house, he pushed open the door with the bag of snacks, ready to give them to his little Ruyi to satisfy his cravings.
Prince Qin Jinan slowly pushed open the door and came in. He saw the little maid Shen Xiuer sleeping on the footstool and Shen Ruyi sleeping on the kang. The two maids were sleeping happily!
Prince Qin Jinan smiled gently. He slowly shrank his fat body, walked out of the house and came to the yard. He could still smell the aroma of chicken soup.
He knew that it was the poor woman who was making chicken soup for Shen Ruyi. Qin Jinan smiled. The little girl was a kind child and should be given the best care. He took Jiusheng back to the main room of the house.
As the crown prince, he had a lot of things to do every day, so how could he not be busy? He returned to the main hall and began to deal with some memorials sent from the capital.
Although Crown Prince Qin Jinan is a simple-minded person, he is also diligent and loves the people. He has inherited his father's professionalism. Although he is not as smart as his father, nor as domineering as his son, he is a loyal and kind person who must complete his mission.
"Jiusheng, we have been here for a few days. How are things going here?"
Jiusheng: "Your Highness, the county magistrates of the following counties have received the news and will rush here tomorrow. It is estimated that the person sent by our emperor to take over Shunjing Prefecture will arrive tomorrow.
The new prefect will meet with all the county magistrates as soon as he takes office, and then hand over the local affairs and people's livelihood. Let's see if there is nothing else to do in a couple of days, and then we can go back.
Prince Qin Jinan nodded his head and said, "I feel like something is not right about the collusion between Shunjing Prefecture's prefect Wang Dapeng and Gui Liutang!
Shunjing Prefecture has become the base of Guiliutang, so does that mean they have connections in the capital? What does a prefect who is so close to the capital want to do by colluding with the gangs in Jiangnan Prefecture?
Where did all the benefits he got go? Why didn't we see anything? We just killed someone, but where did the benefits and real money go?
This Wang Dapeng is so shameless and colludes with the gangsters. He must be greedy for something, right? "
Long rise...
Who said his Highness was stupid? Who said his Highness was foolish? Didn't his Highness discover a big problem?
"Yes! Your Highness, what you said makes sense. Then where did all the treasures of Wang Dapeng, the prefect, go? He colluded with the gangs in Shunjing Prefecture, so there must be benefits for him. Where did his benefits go?
Prince Qin Jinan nodded and said, "Search near the government office in the next two days, dig three feet deep!
We can’t let his stolen goods be picked up by others. They belong to our court and should be put to good use in the royal treasury.”
As Prince Qin Jinan and Jiusheng were talking, he became interested: "Then let's stroll around in this courtyard first, maybe we can find something!"
"Good! Your Highness, you have been reviewing memorials for more than an hour. It is time to stretch your muscles..."
Prince Qin Jinan came out with Jiusheng, and the two of them were strolling in the side courtyard. Lady Cao came out of the kitchen and saw the two nobles and greeted them quickly: "Hello, nobles! I...I have made chicken soup in the kitchen, please give them a bowl!
Our little county lady couldn't finish a whole pot of chicken soup, so I stewed the whole chicken into soup, which was a bit too much!"
Jiusheng glanced at his own prince, nodded and said, "Madam Cao, please serve a bowl of soup to my prince. His Highness did not have afternoon tea this afternoon."
Madam Cao responded with surprise and quickly ran to the kitchen. She filled a bowl of chicken soup, skimmed off the fat, put a spoon in it and carefully brought it out.
Jiusheng took the bowl of soup, turned around to block Madam Cao, took out a silver needle from his sleeve, and tried it to confirm the safety of the chicken soup!
There is no other way. In this era, all diets of the prince and the emperor are based on safety, and the simplest and most effective way to test for poison is the silver needle test.
After confirming that it was safe, Jiusheng took the bowl of soup and handed it to Prince Qin Jinan. He then brought a chair for Prince Qin Jinan, who sat down and drank it slowly.
"Well, Madam Cao made a good soup, my Ruyi will love it.
Madam Cao, please take good care of our little Ruyi these days. I can’t bear to take care of you and the child…”
Suddenly, the secret guard on the roof of the house shouted, "Enemy attack! Not good!
Lord Jiusheng, protect His Highness!"
In an instant, a group of secret guards descended from the roof and surrounded Prince Qin Jinan and Jiusheng.
In an instant, countless men in black fell down and started fighting!
Prince Qin Jinan couldn't drink his chicken soup anymore. He threw the bowl of chicken soup towards a man in black who was falling in the distance.
The man in black screamed when he was hit by the soup bowl, and a secret guard cut off his head with a sword!
Madam Cao screamed in fear: "Ahhhh!"
She forgot everything and rushed into Shen Ruyi's room. Madam Cao closed the door, leaned her back against the door and thought for a while, then pushed the table towards the door with a loud noise and leaned against the door tightly!
Shen Ruyi was startled awake and sat up with a flutter. Little Shen Xiuer was still sleeping soundly there.
Shen Ruyi looked at Madam Cao, whose face had turned pale. She said in horror, "The young county lady cannot go out. There are many men in black attacking His Highness and the others!"
Shen Ruyi!!!
"Are you crazy? What's going on? How dare you attack His Highness' uncle in broad daylight!"
Shen Ruyi's mind was spinning rapidly. Logically speaking, the members of the Ghost Six Gang were killed by her cousin and her father without leaving a single survivor. Even if there were still people there, they should have been hiding. How could someone come to assassinate her uncle?
That's not right! If they are not crazy, then they have a purpose!
Shen Ruyi's mind raced. Could it be that there was something in the government office that they wanted to get? They wanted to exchange it with his Highness' uncle, or they wanted to make a feint to the east and attack the Highness' uncle here, and take the things away from the government office?
I seem to have forgotten something during this period of time. The prefect Wang Dapeng and his wife are so fat. They have been entrenched in Shunjing City for many years and are the minions of the Ghost Six Gang. It is impossible for them to not have gold, silver and treasures. Where did those things go when they were caught?
I heard from her father that two thousand taels of silver notes and loose change were found in the government office. Where did all the benefits go?
This matter is definitely not simple. They dare to attack here openly, there must be a big problem! What is the identity of my uncle? He is the crown prince of the Qin Dynasty!
Bang!
Suddenly, a loud explosion was heard outside. Shen Ruyi knew that something was wrong. Maybe the other party had used a drug to knock her out. What if her uncle was knocked unconscious and injured?
Ruyi took out a powerful painkiller from the space and swallowed it first. She valued her life so much that she was worried about the pain in her feet!
The foot that had stepped on the ground had recovered overnight, and although it still felt a little uncomfortable, she felt that if she was more careful, nothing would happen!
He took out the folding electric baton from under the pillow, pressed it out with a click, and the electric baton that popped out was two feet long and shiny black!
"Madam Cao, hold Xiu'er and hide in the room. Don't go out. There is a big cabinet over there. Hold the child and go in. I will close the cabinet door."
Madam Cao said with tears in her eyes: "Little county lady, please don't go out. I will protect you. Please don't go out!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Just go in and hide with the child. I have my own way to protect me and your highness' uncle. Hurry up!"
Mrs. Cao was scared and went into the closet with her sleeping child. Shen Ruyi closed the closet and dragged a chair to block the closet.
There was a hole under the big cabinet, so she was not worried that Madam Cao and her daughter would be suffocated to death, but she also did not expect that because of the ventilation hole, the mother and daughter would also be poisoned by the smoke!
Shen Ruyi took a handkerchief, threw it on the table, poured some spiritual spring water, moved the table away, covered her mouth and nose, pushed open the door and rushed out of the house.
When I came out, I saw a lot of people lying in the yard. My uncle was sitting on a chair, looking a little dazed and his eyes were obviously blurry!
Jiusheng held the sword tightly and stood in front of his uncle. A man in dark brown clothes with a fierce look on his face rushed towards Jiusheng in front of Prince Qin Jinan with a machete.
Jiusheng's skills were unfathomable. The fight was evenly matched. More than a dozen moves were exchanged in a flash. Jiusheng kicked the man in the chest, and the man flew a long distance, right towards Shen Ruyi.
Jiusheng followed the direction of the gangster and saw Shen Ruyi emerging from the house. He shouted in fear: "No! Protect the young county lady..."
Prince Qin Jinan, who was holding his breath in a daze, tried to stand up, but his body was too fat and he inhaled the smoke, so he fell back on the chair and took the chair with him!
Shen Ruyi got anxious, pressed the critical attack button, swung the electric baton and hit the man on the head who was about two meters away in front of her!
Snap...sizzle...
"You sneak attack my uncle, take my stick!"
