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 it was urgent. He didn't want to pester her too much, lest the beauty get annoyed by him and loosen her reins to let her go.
The sound of a horse troop was heard from behind, followed by several guards catching up.
When the guard caught up, he saw that the young master was staring at the figure leaving in front of him and asked, "Young master, what are you looking at?"
The nobleman said calmly, "I just came back to Beijing and met a cute kitten. Go and ask around. The girl who just came to Beijing, whose last name is Qin and whose body is as beautiful as ice, whose family is she from?"
"Young master, you met a beauty as soon as you returned 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 inside as he thought of Qin Huiyin's eyes that were as beautiful as peach blossoms.
No, he had to find out who this girl belonged to.
Qin Huiyin rushed to the East City Military Department.
As soon as she entered the door, someone immediately reported to Jiang Qingnan and Zhou Jinyuan, and the latter two came out to greet her.
"You're so anxious, there must be something urgent. Come in and talk." 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 that this was just a case of evil paying off, but we never thought that it would involve Master Li."
"If the boss were here, he would definitely be able to figure it out. Our brains are still not good enough and we are short-sighted."
Jiang Qingnan made a few self-deprecating remarks, agreed immediately 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 all minor issues and will not let Master Li suffer any injustice."
Zhou Jinyuan nodded and agreed: "This is a small matter. Let alone the Ministry of Justice, we can also place people in the Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
They were still being subtle. Not to mention these places, they also had spies in the inner court of the imperial palace.
"I'll leave this matter to you. During this period of time before Mr. 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 had no 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 back to Tang's house on horseback.
Tang Yichen returned early and brought back a confirmation letter from King Wei. Tang Yichen arranged the meeting in the East Building, so Qin Huiyin and Xia Ruwan waited there early. They chose to book another room next to the one arranged by Tang Yichen.
"Here they come." Qin Huiyin leaned over 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 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 dotingly, "Read less storybooks, those are all lies. The East Building values privacy, and what you said will not exist. If there is any sign of this, the entire East Building will be imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice."
"Oh." Qin Huiyin came down from the wall. "I can't hear it. 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 filled with thoughts about what was happening next door.
He took out a stack of blueprints from his arms and said to Qin Huiyin, "Come and take a look, and give me some advice. The work of the Ministry of Industry is 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 could let people out?"
"It's a very serious issue right now, so I'm afraid it won't be that easy. He said he would wait. After a few days, when that person has calmed down, there may be a chance for this matter to turn around."
"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. Just rest assured. I still trust what they can do, so you don't have to worry about Young Master Li. However, has there been a huge 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 was thanks to your elder brother that I was able to get in touch with the King of Wei. I want to prepare a big gift to thank your elder brother, but I don't know him and don't 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 can get whatever they want. There is nothing in the world that they cannot obtain. As a merchant, I have nothing to give them except money." Xia Ruwan said, "I promise to give him 20% of the profits of all the Xia family's stores every year, for a limit of ten years."
"Ten years, 20% profit?" Qin Huiyin gestured. "This is not a prince, this is a ruthless businessman who is even more treacherous than us!"
"As long as he can be rescued, I'm willing to pay any amount of money." Xia Ruwan said, "But I'm afraid the Li family's assets can't be saved."
To put it bluntly, the imperial court had such a good opportunity to fill the national treasury, so 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, there is still a rich woman like you to support him."
"That's true. He is so handsome. From now on, he will be in charge of the inner house, 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 rest assured.
"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 ladies to go back after they have finished their meal," said the waiter.
