Chapter 122 Hua Lian
The night gradually deepened.
After settling today's accounts, Qiu Niang closed the door of her study and walked towards a small courtyard next to Qingshi Street.
This is a house she rented near her study.
It's close and convenient to travel back and forth.
After walking for a while, Qiu Niang always felt that there was someone nearby, but when she turned around, she saw nothing.
Qiu Niang didn't take it too seriously. Business had been so good recently that she might have been too busy and felt dizzy and full of people everywhere.
Back to the simple farmyard, just opened the door...
"Bang——" A strong wind suddenly came from behind.
As soon as Qiu Niang turned around, she was thrown to the ground by the person behind her. Four followers came in together and closed the gate.
"Let go--" Qiu Niang struggled desperately, and when she saw clearly that the person who knocked her down was actually Zhou Hongyang!
Qiu Niang was horrified:
"Help--"
But those followers were very experienced. Some of them held Qiu Niang's hands and feet, and some of them blocked her mouth with a cloth.
But in an instant, Qiu Niang was restrained and could only make a humming sound.
"You stinky bitch, it's because of you that I was beaten twice and had to swallow my anger! Today, I'm going to collect the interest from you!" Zhou Hongyang lifted Qiu Niang's chin with his fingers and laughed obscenely:
"Brother Shen is right. Why would I bother the Northern Palace? I'll kill you and then dump your body in the wilderness. The Northern Palace won't be able to find out about this young master."
There was a flash of fear in Qiu Niang's eyes. She didn't expect Zhou Hongyang to be so lawless.
Outside the courtyard.
A tall and beautiful woman was hiding behind a courtyard wall. Hua Lian saw Zhou Hongyang pounce on the woman with her own eyes...
The gate was closed.
But you can tell what's going on inside without even looking.
Hua Lian clenched her fists, but she knew that if she went in alone, she would not be their opponent...
They are many...
Hua Lian's eyes fell on the pile of firewood outside the courtyard gate...
Pick up the tinder you carry with you and light the firewood...
Then he deliberately pinched his throat and yelled: "Help! There's a fire!"
The weather is dry now.
Once the fire started, it burned very quickly. The entire yard was surrounded by fire and burned towards the eaves of the surrounding neighbors.
"The fire is coming! The fire is coming!"
The people around were awakened and came out with buckets of water to put out the fire.
…
"Master, there's a fire! There's a fire outside the door!" the follower shouted in panic.
Zhou Hongyang was also shocked when he saw the raging fire, "Go, go!"
"What should we do with this woman?" asked the attendant.
Zhou Hongyang didn't care about her at all, and fled in a panic, "Knock her out, and wait for the fire to burn her... It's so unlucky, the fire started before I could finish my work! Hurry up! Go out the back door!"
At this time, people outside the gate were awakened and were rushing to put out the fire.
Zhou Hongyang was afraid of being seen, so he ran to the back door.
The follower punched Qiu Niang on the forehead, knocking her unconscious, and then escaped through the back door with Zhou Hongyang.
With the intensity of the fire, she would definitely be burned to death unless someone rushed in to save her regardless of the danger.
If they killed the person first, the government would conduct a detailed investigation and it would attract attention.
Zhou Hongyang thought Qiu Niang was doomed, so he ran away...
…
Outside the courtyard.
Hua Lian picked up the bucket, poured a bucket of water on her head, and rushed in.
The yard was empty.
Zhou Hongyang and others have already run away.
A woman lies on the ground.
Hua Lian carried the unconscious Qiu Niang on her back and escaped from the fire. She put her on the side of the road and left quickly.
At this time, all the people here are rushing to put out the fire, so there is no need to worry about what Zhou Hongyang will do when he comes back.
On the way back to Yanyu Tower.
Hua Lian just remembered that if she had locked the front and back doors and then started the engine...
Zhou Hongyang is dead.
But at that time... I was only thinking about saving people and forgot this point.
If Zhou Hongyang can be killed, the death of one more person won’t be a big deal.
…
Northern Palace, Jinyu Garden.
Jiang Rong leaned lazily on the couch, reading a book by lamplight.
Feicui walked in hurriedly, "Princess, something happened to Qiu Niang! The yard where she lived caught fire, but fortunately she was rescued by a kind-hearted person..."
"How is she? Ask a doctor to check her out!" Jiang Rong's face changed instantly.
Feicui replied, "Master Song Heng sent her to the clinic, and the doctor said...she was knocked unconscious by someone."
Song Heng lives nearby.
While putting out the fire with the neighbors, they discovered that the fire was actually in Qiu Niang's house. They saw her unconscious on the roadside and quickly sent her to the hospital.
I originally thought Qiu Niang was choked by the smoke.
But after the doctor examined her, he found that she was knocked unconscious. Song Heng had a hunch that something was not going on, so he quickly reported it to the Northern Prince's Palace.
"Knocked him out?" Jiang Rong frowned. Qiu Niang had never had any grudges against anyone... Could it be Zhou Hongyang?
Jiang Rong sent someone to bring Qiu Niang back to the Northern Prince's Palace.
After the doctor used the medicine, Qiu Niang gradually regained consciousness on the way back home.
"Crown Princess, it's Zhou Hongyang..." As soon as Qiu Niang saw Jiang Rong, she couldn't help but shed tears, and her voice was full of fear.
There are guards on duty in Wanjuan Study, and the Crown Princess has already told her that she should bring guards with her when she travels.
But she felt that she was just a small servant, and there was no need for such a grand ceremony. So she never bothered the guards to pick her up.
Unexpectedly...
Something happened tonight.
"...Suddenly there was a fire outside, and they fled..." Qiu Niang explained the whole story, trying to suppress her trembling voice:
"I was dazed and saw someone rushing in to save me...it looked like Miss Hua Lian..."
What happened today frightened her greatly. She didn't even know if the moment she saw Miss Hua Lian rushing in to save her was an illusion...
How come Miss Hua Lian happened to appear near Qingshi Street?
Hua Lian?
When Jiang Rong heard the name, he roughly understood what was going on.
Hua Lian was probably following Zhou Hongyang. When she found out that Zhou Hongyang was attacking Qiu Niang, she came to his aid...
"Qiu Niang, you were frightened today, so take a good rest. Don't worry, Zhou Hongyang's death is approaching." Jiang Rong looked at Qiu Niang and comforted her:
"Bring more guards with you when you go out next time. Your safety is the most important."
Qiu Niang nodded with tears in her eyes, "Thank you, Princess..."
The next day.
Qingshi Teahouse, private room on the second floor.
Hua Lian looked at the woman in front of her with some caution...
Wanjuan Bookstore said that it wanted to write an article, but the person who came here today was not the editor, but...
The owner of Wanjuan Study.
The famous Princess of the Northern Prince.
"Thank you, Mr. Hua Lian, for saving my shopkeeper yesterday." Jiang Rong looked at him and smiled.
Mr. Hua Lian?
As soon as these words came out.
There was silence in the box.
Qiu Niang, who was standing by, was also stunned. She looked at the beautiful woman in front of her in disbelief, then turned back to look at her own prince's wife, her face full of confusion.
Hua Lian's eyes instantly turned cold, full of defense...
"I want to kill Zhou Hongyang." Jiang Rong looked at him and said directly: "Assassination is not a good idea. I suggest you report it to the police."
