Chapter 468 Entanglement
Qin Huiyin was in a hurry and didn't want to get entangled with this person. Thinking that it was indeed her fault, she told the truth about her identity.
The nobleman saw the anxiety in her face and knew that this was a real matter. He did not want to pester her too much, lest the beauty get tired of him and loosen her reins and let her go.
The sound of horsemen came from behind, followed by several guards chasing after them.
When the guard caught up, he saw the young master staring at the figure leaving in front of him and asked, "Young master, what are you looking at?"
The noble young man said calmly, "I just returned to the capital and met a cute kitten. Go and ask around. Who is the girl from the family of the newly arrived girl surnamed Qin, who has a beautiful figure?"
"Young master, you met a beauty right after returning to the capital? It's a pity that we didn't see her, otherwise I would really like to see what kind of beauty could make you so infatuated?" The followers laughed.
The young man felt numb in his heart as he thought of Qin Huiyin's eyes that were as beautiful as peach blossoms.
No, he had to find out quickly who this girl belonged to.
Qin Huiyin rushed to the East City Military Commission.
As soon as she entered the room, someone immediately reported to Jiang Qingnan and Zhou Jinyuan, who came out to greet her.
"See how anxious you are, there must be something urgent. Come in and tell me." Jiang Qingnan said.
Qin Huiyin entered the study, took the tea handed to her by Zhou Jinyuan, and then talked about Li Congxiao's case.
"We also know about the case at Prince Ning's Mansion. We originally thought it was just a case of evil being punished, but we never imagined it would involve Master Li."
"If the boss were here, he would definitely be able to figure it out. We are still too short-sighted."
Jiang Qingnan made a few self-deprecating remarks, agreed to Qin Huiyin's request for help, and immediately sent someone to the Ministry of Justice's prison to make arrangements.
"Don't worry, Sister Huiyin. If you want us to go to the Ministry of Justice to kidnap someone, we definitely won't dare to act on our own. We're just going to take care of it. These are minor matters and will not let Master Li suffer any injustice."
Zhou Jinyuan nodded in agreement, "This is a small matter. Let alone the Ministry of Justice, we can even place people in the Dali Temple or the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
They were being quite subtle. Not to mention these few places, they also had spies in the inner courts of the Imperial Palace.
"I'll leave this matter to you. During this period before Master Li is released from prison, you must ensure his safety."
"Don't worry, sister."
After Qin Huiyin finished her explanation, she thought of the young man she had just bumped into. She hadn't had time to think about it just now, but now that she had some free time, she suddenly felt that the young man looked a little familiar.
Qin Huiyin rode a horse back to Tang's house.
Tang Yichen returned early, bringing back a letter from the King of Wei. Tang Yichen had arranged a meeting in the East Building, so Qin Huiyin and Xia Ruwan were waiting there early. They chose to book a room next to the one Tang Yichen had arranged.
"Here they come." Qin Huiyin leaned against the window and saw Tang Yichen leading the King of Wei into the East Building. "Wan'er, get ready."
Qin Huiyin cannot show up.
After Tang Yichen arranged things for King Wei, he went to the next room and brought Xia Ruwan over. After Tang Yichen introduced Xia Ruwan to King Wei, he returned to Qin Huiyin's room.
He pushed open the door and saw Qin Huiyin lying on the wall listening to the noise next door, stroking her forehead and chuckling.
"How is it?" Tang Yichen came closer and asked in a low voice.
"I can't hear you!" Qin Huiyin said, "Is there any secret compartment or secret passage here?"
Tang Yichen tapped her forehead and smiled indulgently, "Read less storybooks, they're all lies. Donglou values privacy, and what you said doesn't exist. If there is any sign of this, the entire Donglou will be imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice."
"Oh." Qin Huiyin came down from the wall. "I can't hear them. I don't know what they said. Are Wan'er and the King of Wei the only ones next door?"
Tang Yichen knew that she was worried. If he didn't find her something to do, her mind would be full of what was happening next door.
He pulled out a stack of blueprints from his pocket and said to Qin Huiyin, "Come and take a look. Give me some advice. The Ministry of Industry's affairs are really complicated."
Qin Huiyin's attention was quickly diverted by him.
As long as there is something to do, time will pass quickly. So when Qin Huiyin stopped, the door opened from the outside and Xia Ruwan walked in.
"What do you think? What did the King of Wei say?" Qin Huiyin stood up.
Xia Ruwan nodded gently, a relaxed smile on her face.
"Great." Qin Huiyin walked over. "Did he say when he would let people out?"
"It's a very serious issue right now, so I'm afraid it won't be that easy. He said he'd have to wait a few days until that person calms down, and there might be a chance for a turnaround."
"Everything has been arranged at the Ministry of Justice's prison. Brother Qingnan also said that it would be a simple matter to let the people in the Ministry of Justice take care of Young Master Li. You can rest assured. I still trust what they do, so you don't have to worry about Young Master Li. However, has there been a big loss this time? What conditions did the other party put forward?" Qin Huiyin asked.
"Yinyin, you've been waiting for so long and haven't eaten yet. I'll go find the shopkeeper to order food. You guys chat first." Tang Yichen got up and walked out.
Xia Ruwan watched Tang Yichen disappear and asked, "It's all thanks to your brother that I was able to connect with the King of Wei. I want to prepare a big gift to thank him, but I don't know him well enough to know what he likes. What do you think I should give him?"
"I'm here to thank him, you don't have to worry about it. Just tell me what conditions the other party put forward." Qin Huiyin asked again.
"These princes have everything they want. There's nothing in the world they can't get. As a merchant, I don't have much to offer them except money," Xia Ruwan said. "I promise to give him 20% of the profits from all the Xia family's stores every year for ten years."
"Ten years, 20% profit?" Qin Huiyin gestured. "This isn't a prince, this is a ruthless businessman who's even more cunning than us!"
"As long as we can rescue him, I'm willing to pay any amount of money," Xia Ruwan said, "but I'm afraid the Li family's assets won't be saved."
To put it bluntly, the imperial court had such a good opportunity to fill the treasury, how could it let the duck fly away?
"This is within our expectations. But money can be earned again, and those are just small matters. Even if things don't work out, he still has you, a rich woman, to support him."
"That's true. He is so handsome. He will be in charge of the inner house from now on, and I will be responsible for supporting the family." Xia Ruwan finally felt like joking.
Qin Huiyin knew that she didn't want to worry herself, but in fact, she was still very uneasy. As long as Li Congxiao didn't come out, she couldn't really feel at ease.
"Ladies, the food is ready, please take a seat." Several waiters came in and served the dishes.
Qin Huiyin didn't see Tang Yichen, so she asked, "Where is the young master who was with us?"
"The young man said he had official business to attend to, so he left first. It won't be too late for the two girls to go back after dinner." said the waiter.
