After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 1113 Let me use this belt to hang myself first.
"Oh, so it's for business. How much of an order does Young Master Jie plan to place?" Uncle Qin made no unnecessary movements, directly took out a cloth bag from his waist, laid out a bunch of tools, and looked at Jie Kun: "Tell me, what kind of medicine do you want to order? How much? Tell me, and I'll write it down."

Jie Kun and Jie Ren were stunned... That was just an excuse, you really want to draft a contract?
Jie Kun forced a smile and said, "Uncle Qin, isn't the owner of the herbal medicine shop Boss Qin? Business matters should be discussed with her in person."

He continued, “Business owners in all walks of life discuss business face to face. Why is it that when it comes to the Qin family, the owner is hiding? Is it because the owner is a woman? Is she afraid to come out and talk business for the sake of her reputation? If she is afraid to come out and talk business, why be the owner in the first place? Why not just let Uncle Qin take over the position?”

"Does Uncle Qin think what I said is right?" Xie Kun felt more and more justified as he spoke, and at this moment he was a little arrogant, raising his chin and glancing sideways at Uncle Qin.

Hmph, Qin Xiaomi thinks that just because she's a woman and has made some military achievements, she can be on equal footing with men?
Whimsical!

Jie Kun then smiled and said, "Uncle Qin, please don't be angry. Although my words are a bit harsh, they are from the bottom of my heart... The rumors about Master Qin in the capital city are truly offensive."

Uncle Qin was shocked. He immediately took out a new booklet and asked, "Are there offensive rumors about my eldest niece in the capital city? What are they saying? Who spread them? Who told you? Come, tell us everything. My family is going to send the list to the Liang family army camp and ask General Liang to help arrest the malicious rumor-mongers!"

"My eldest niece is the one who uncovered a century-old spy case, made military contributions, was commended by His Majesty, and was bestowed the title of female physician by His Majesty. Those who spread rumors about her are questioning His Majesty's praise. Do they want their tongues cut out or their entire clan exterminated?!"

Jie Kun and Jie Ren were drenched in sweat.

Jie Kun hurriedly said, "...Nephew, I only heard it from someone by chance."

"Who told you that? Where did you hear it? You're so young, you can't possibly have such a bad memory, can you?" Uncle Qin continued to press, then patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry, my Qin family only catches the rumor-mongers, we will never expose you. You are a kind person who exposed the rumor-mongers, and my Qin family never mistreats kind people!"

Kind-hearted Jie Kun: "..."

Jie Ren hurriedly stood up and bowed to Uncle Qin: "Uncle Qin, please forgive me. My brother misunderstood. Please don't hold it against me. I apologize on behalf of my brother. Please forgive me."

"Not a single bit can be forgiven!" Uncle Qin said righteously, "This concerns my niece's reputation. If we don't find out the whole story and bring the villains who spread rumors to justice, how can my niece have a good reputation in the capital city?!"

“Jiang Dalang, Commander Jiang, is a young and promising general. Many people want to marry him. I suspect that the rumors in the capital city are deliberately spread by someone to ruin my niece’s reputation so that Commander Jiang can break off the engagement with my niece and marry someone else.”

Bang bang bang!
Uncle Qin slammed his left hand on the table with a deafening roar, spitting as he shouted, "Vicious! Vicious! This person is trying to ruin my niece's life with rumors, even trying to kill her! My Qin family must investigate this to the end... Let's go, let's go, let's report this to the authorities right now and find the rumor-mongers and bring them to justice!"

Uncle Qin got up and pulled Jie Kun.

"Uncle Qin, please calm down! It's a misunderstanding! It's not true! I misheard!" Xie Kun was flustered and scared, his face turned pale. He and Xie Ren grabbed Uncle Qin to stop him from dragging him to the authorities.

However, Miao Bo is not dead yet.

Miao Bo stepped forward, grabbed the two of them, and with a forceful pull, the two young masters felt a sharp pain in their wrists and had to let go.

"I am Miao Bo, and I am the bodyguard that His Majesty bestowed upon Lord Qin. Please, Young Master Jie, accompany my second master to the yamen to clarify the matter of the rumors spread against my master in the capital city!"

The mere words "the Emperor bestowed upon Lord Qin's guards" were enough to terrify Xie Kun and Xie Ren. The two hurriedly shouted to the Xie family's martial arts instructor, "Quickly go and fetch Chief Steward Xie! Quickly go and invite Uncle Guan!"

Upon hearing this, the Xie family martial arts master immediately went to call for reinforcements, and another group of people went to block the path of Uncle Qin and Miao Bo.

But since Uncle Qin and Miao Bo were both people of high status, the martial arts instructors didn't dare to use force to stop them. They could only form a human wall to block them with their bodies and persuade them, "Second Master Qin, please calm down. Please go back and sit down. If you have any grievances, we can talk about them slowly when the chief steward and the clerk arrive."

Jie Ren: "Yes, Uncle Qin, please calm down and don't act impulsively."

He then gestured for Jie Kun to apologize immediately.

Jie Kun: "Uncle Qin, I was wrong. I was careless with my words and spoke what I had overheard..."

Uncle Qin: "So you're sure there's some gossip? If there is, then just give me the name of the person. If you don't, then you're the one who spread the rumors!" "..." Jie Kun was almost crying. He was only thirteen years old, a kid. Even if he looked down on commoners because of his background and wanted to belittle them, he knew the consequences. He knew that if this matter came to light, his reputation would be ruined!

Cultivating oneself and speaking prudently are essential virtues for a gentleman.

Without this virtue, which renowned teacher would be willing to teach him?

In the future, when it comes to the imperial examinations and the selection of officials, he will be rejected by those who have not committed any misconduct because of his past misconduct.

"Uncle Qin, it was my fault. Can we go back and talk? We won't go out." Jie Kun's voice was trembling with tears.

Uncle Qin persisted, "This concerns the young lady's reputation. This matter must be clarified in the yamen, otherwise your Xie family is forcing my niece to her death, and forcing me to my death!"

"My elder brother is gone. If I, as his uncle, can't protect my niece, how can I have the face to live? I might as well loosen my belt and hang myself!"

As he spoke, he actually unbuckled his belt and hung it on a pillar in the lobby.

Jie Dazongguan: "..."

Give me this belt first, let me hang myself.

"Second Master Qin, what's wrong with Second Master Qin? You mustn't do something rash!" After taking a deep breath, Chief Steward Xie rushed over, knelt down at Second Uncle Qin's feet, hugged him, and pleaded, "Second Master Qin, the two young masters are only thirteen years old, still children. If they said something wrong, you, as their elder, can punish them severely. You can't let them get so angry that they risk their lives just because they don't know any better!"

Dad, are you trying to kill yourself? You're trying to kill me! Hurry up and stop messing around!

There are also Jie Kun and Jie Ren.

Chief Steward Xie said to them, "If the two young masters have done something wrong, they should apologize to Second Master Qin."

What are you waiting for? Quickly kneel down and admit your mistake!

What did I tell you before I came? The lesson of Master Jie is still there, but you didn't listen or look, and you gave me a big surprise as soon as you arrived!

I am a servant, not a god. I do not possess boundless magical powers to clean up your messes time and time again.

Dangdang Dangdang!
"County Commandant Zhong and Clerk Guan have arrived!" the soldiers shouted, beating gongs.

This wasn't on the roadside, but inside the Taifu Restaurant. There was no need to ring a gong, but the farce in front of them was too chaotic, so the soldiers had no choice but to ring the gong as a warning.

"Uncle Guan!" Jie Kun and Jie Ren cried out excitedly, as if they had seen a savior. "Uncle Guan, please come and help your nephew."

Clerk Guan: "...The Qin family is my father-in-law's family, and the Qin family is my niece, the cousin of my unborn child."

Do you understand the concepts of closeness and distance?
He understood, and Jie Kun, who was almost bursting into tears, said: "..."

I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. Let's just pretend this never happened, okay?

Jie Ren: "..."

Thank goodness I wasn't the one who said those suicidal things.

"Sit down, everyone, and let's discuss this in detail." Clerk Guan told everyone to stop making a fuss and gather in the main hall to talk about today's matter.
