Chapter 243 Our Own People
"Who are you?"
Qi Lin looked at Jiang Huaiqing with an unhappy expression.
The bearded man was dressed in rags and was dirty all over. He was far from the sleek male favorite in the backyard, so why did he say such arrogant words?
Qi Lin felt indignant when people said that he couldn't tame him.
His life was saved several times by his godfather and godmother, and no one can doubt his determination to be a filial son!
"If you are young and well-trained, you still need to raise them for more than ten years. At my age, if I leave the City Lord's Mansion and get married and have children, it won't take long for my godparents to have grandchildren in their arms and live out their days in peace. Isn't that better than you?"
Qi Lin spoke confidently, and after he finished speaking he looked at Jiang Yuzhu cautiously. He said these words from the heart.
One must have a conscience in life. After escaping death, Qi Lin only thought about repaying his gratitude.
Jiang Yuzhu opened a corner of the car window and peeked in. She was pulled back to her thoughts and pointed at Jiang Huaiqing and introduced him, "Da Linzi, he is your second uncle."
"I still have an uncle?"
Qi Lin didn't expect his godmother to have so many relatives. He was stunned for a moment and said to Jiang Huaiqing with a smile, "I'm sorry, junior."
"Your eldest uncle and your second uncle are both your uncles, they are family members."
The fate between people is very wonderful. Qi Lin insisted on becoming his godparent, so Jiang Yuzhu and Xie Zhao agreed.
At this moment, Qi Lin did not expect that his godfather and godmother were of noble status and that tremendous wealth would suddenly befall him.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, there was constant noise in the City Lord's Mansion.
Seeing this, the coachman raised his whip and cracked it, and the carriage quickly left the corner gate of the city lord's mansion.
Jiang Yuzhu knocked on the car window and asked anxiously, "Why are you leaving when everyone is not here yet?"
The driver replied respectfully, "Madam, the master has instructed that if he doesn't come out within a quarter of an hour, it means something has happened. He has told me to take you to a safe place first."
Qi Lin thought of something, his face was startled, and then he said: "Godmother, is that scholar who has been on a hunger strike for three days a relative of ours?"
"Probably. What's the matter?"
Without Xie Zhao around, Jiang Yuzhu was worried.
Hearing Qi Lin's question, she turned around and asked, "Is there any trouble in the back house?"
"There's a big mess!"
In the backyard, Qi Lin had a familiar guard, and he found out the news.
I heard that the city lord's daughter had always admired the scholar's talent, and even though she had been rejected many times, she still ordered her servants to take good care of him.
As long as the scholar nodded, he would even be willing to disband the backyard for him.
"The scholar was on a hunger strike and was weak. Manager Sha was worried that he would be implicated, so he hurriedly asked a doctor to see him."
On the Qianqiu Festival, a doctor came to the mansion for treatment, and the case was not hidden from the eyes and ears of the city lord's sister.
"Hearing that her lover was in a bad mood, the city lord's sister came to visit him, but who would have thought..."
Qi Lin paused. He didn't see it, but he heard that the scholar didn't know where he got the strength from, and took advantage of the city lord's sister's unpreparedness and stabbed her with a dagger, trying to die together with her.
"After the incident, Manager Sha ordered someone to invite the doctor from the City Lord's Mansion to come and see the doctor."
Taking advantage of the chaos, Qi Lin was replaced without knowing why, and he had no time to find out the details.
"Godmother, are we not waiting for godfather anymore?"
The City Lord's Mansion is a dangerous place, and his godfather pretends to be a doctor. If he is caught and something happens to him, Qi Lin will be worried for the rest of his life. He suggested, "Why don't we go back and wait?"
Before Jiang Yuzhu could respond, almost at the same time, thousands of people rushed over and set up checkpoints on the road to search.
The leading barbarian had a ferocious look on his face and a search warrant in his hand, and he would not let go of any passerby.
A passing carriage was also turned upside down.
Seeing this, Jiang Huaiqing felt very guilty and stuffed the package into the storage space of the car bench.
Even if they are not the people on the wanted list, it would be a serious crime if they were found to have taken the treasures from the City Lord's Mansion.
"Don't wait for him."
Although she felt uneasy, Jiang Yuzhu still managed to reply.
Xie Zhao always had a plan in mind. Now that she had made all the arrangements, all she could do was to protect herself and not become a burden to him.
This trip to the City Lord's Mansion was a huge gain, at least I got my second brother out.
"Little sister, our babies..."
After the barbarian went to search the carriage in front and threw out all the teapots and teacups, Jiang Huaiqing's forehead veins popped up and he looked uneasy.
"Keep it."
Faced with the search, Jiang Yuzhu remained calm. She was very experienced in how to get away with it.
Jiang Yuzhu swept the hemp rope on the ground and said to Qi Lin, "Da Linzi, tie me up first."
"Godmother, how could your son do such a rebellious thing?"
Qi Lin thought it over. The city lord's sister kidnapped him, so he took the initiative to reveal that he had escaped. The worst that could happen was that he would be caught and taken back to the backyard.
At this time, it is impossible for a son to betray his godmother!
"What are you thinking about?"
Jiang Yuzhu curled her lips and whispered a few words to Qi Lin and her second brother Jiang Huaiqing.
The two of them understood immediately and made preparations for both situations.
When the carriage arrived at the checkpoint, the barbarian shouted, "Stop the car and get off for inspection!"
Qi Lin jumped down first, and his heart tightened when he saw the portrait on the wanted poster.
Whatever you fear will come true, his godfather is wanted!
The portrait is 90% similar to the person, but the pockmarks on the face are too conspicuous.
"Brother, there is no one you are looking for in our carriage. Please help me."
Qi Lin used barbarian language to stuff a piece of silver into the leader's hand.
The other party squeezed it in his hand, his expression softened a lot, but he still insisted: "We can't do anything about the city lord's order."
"Don't worry, we will definitely cooperate with the inspection, but..."
Qi Lin said this with a flattering smile and stuffed another piece of silver into the barbarian's hand.
The leader hesitated a little. He stopped his men and decided to check the carriage himself.
The car door was opened, and Manzi immediately looked into the eyes of the tied-up Jiang Yuzhu.
“Woo woo!”
With a handkerchief stuffed in her mouth, Jiang Yuzhu regarded the barbarian as her lifeline and struggled and called for help.
The barbarian's eyelids twitched, and he pretended not to see it, turning around with an indifferent expression.
Since he has received benefits, he won't meddle in other people's business!
He cared even less about the fact that the person who was kidnapped was a woman from Da Qi.
The carriage quickly passed the checkpoint. Jiang Huaiqing and Qi Lin looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
According to Xie Zhao's arrangement, the driver did not return to Qi Ju's in-laws' home, but took her to a village outside the city. Qi Ju had been waiting for a long time with the package, Daniu and Hehua.
"Sister, why are you here?"
Now, Qi Lin was also confused.
Qi Ju was wrapped in a goose down coat, and her nose was already red from the wind. She held her two children in her left and right hands, her eyes reddened. "My godfather sent someone to tell me that he was afraid that the barbarians would come to seek revenge, so he asked me to wait here with the children, and we will meet up with you and go back to the border town together."
Wutu's family is a barbarian tribe, and they are distant relatives of the manager of the City Lord's Mansion. In order to escape punishment, the whole family has fled to the city.
Wutu was worried that the tribe members would harm Qi Ju and her children, so after much consideration he decided to send Qi Ju to Da Qi to give birth.
When everything calms down, the couple will always have a chance to meet.
