Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 140 Two of the Four Great Beauties
"Ning'er? No, she is..."

He muttered, then fell silent.

But in the audience, those men walked up to them, not knowing that Man Tianxing and Liu Fugui had been arrested, and said loudly: "My lord, the girl of extreme yin has been arrested."

Before the words fell, he looked up and saw Hu Qian standing there with his head held high, and he couldn't help but wonder: "Who are you! Where is Mr. Hu!"

Hu Qian smiled and said: "Come here! Lock up these four people and put them in prison for trial!"

Immediately, a yamen servant came forward to arrest him.

However, the four of them suddenly took out their knives, blocked the servants, then turned around and fled.

A tug on the rope dragged Ma Ling'er down as well.

Before they could take three steps, Hu Qian made a sudden leap and stood in front of the four of them in an instant.

Suddenly punched and kicked, the four of them immediately fell to the ground wailing, the blood vomited from their mouths sprayed all over the ground, and they couldn't move anymore.

The common people and the yamen guards were startled when they saw it, and they thought that luckily they didn't fight him just now, otherwise ten taels of silver stick medicine for sores would surely cure them.

Several yamen servants roughly arrested the four of them and hurried to the county yamen.

Hu Qian sighed, walked up to Ma Linger, and helped her up.

"Are you OK?"

Ma Linger said: "It's fine, thank you sir..."

However, the moment she saw Hu Qian, she immediately turned pale with shock, the words in her mouth disappeared immediately, and she was speechless in a daze.

"you……"

She opened her mouth, with mixed feelings for a moment, the expression on her face changed again and again, and finally she didn't say a word.

The old bustard rushed over at this time, "Thank you, sir, thank you, Ling'er, come back with me."

Only then did Ma Ling'er come back to her senses, she turned around and took a step, then turned her head again, with tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Hurry up, there are still a few masters waiting to listen to you playing the piano in the Cangchun Tower."

Her face turned red, then turned dark again, as if she didn't want the old man to see her downcast appearance, she nodded and limped away.

When things at Caishikou were settled, Qin Jia asked Hu Qian to rest in the backyard of the county government office.

Hu Qian said that his family members were still in the inn, so he left.

After returning, Rong Ning'er immediately asked Hu Jiu to order food and wine.

After eating, he prepared to bathe and wash Hu Qian.

Hu Qian shook his head and said, "Forget it today, I don't know if I should tell you about something."

Rong Ning'er said: "If Mr. Xiang has something to say, just do it directly."

Hu Qian said: "I seem to see your sister."

Rong Ning'er was taken aback immediately, and it took a long time to come back to her senses, "Really? Where did you see her? How is she now?"

Hu Qian then told what happened before.

Rong Ning'er was startled at first, then shook her head and said: "Impossible, how could my sister be reduced to prostitution!

Absolutely impossible!With her personality, if this was the case, even if she didn't escape, she would have committed suicide long ago! "

Hu Qian said: "I don't want to believe it either, but she looks exactly like you, so is it fake?"

Rong Ning'er still shook her head, and then burst into tears.

"elder sister……"

Hu Qian sighed and said, "After the matter of the county government is settled, I will arrange for you to meet her and ask her face to face."

Rong Ning'er immediately threw herself into Hu Qian's arms, "Master, if it's really my sister, I must save her..."

As he spoke, he knelt on the ground with a plop and kowtowed repeatedly.

Hu Qian quickly pulled her up, "Is this still necessary between you and me?
However, since she refused to stay in the mansion last time, she had her own plans.

Now that she has ended up like this, if I go, wouldn't it embarrass her very much.

Maybe instead of letting me save her, she might even think that I was deliberately trying to ridicule her. "

Rong Ning'er said: "No, my concubine should talk to her first, she will definitely be obedient."

Hu Qian said: "It has to be like this."

Early the next morning, Hu Qian and the others arrived at the county government office.

In the backyard of the county government office, there is an old man who has been watching the hospital all year round, named Lao Yandai, and his wife, Mrs. Zhou, greeted him at the door.

Hu Qian asked Mrs. Zhou to take Rong Ning'er and Yingcai to the backyard to clean up, and he handed over the documents to Qin Jia who came early.

In the small land of Guobei County, except for some trivial cases such as stealing, robbery, and family complaints, there is basically nothing going on in a year.

Hu Qian looked at it for a while and asked: "Do you know how the former Lord Fan and Lord Nie's family died?"

Qin Jia's face immediately changed, he hesitated and couldn't speak.

Hu Qian shouted: "What? Forgot what you said yesterday?"

Qin Jia was startled, and immediately cupped his hands and said, "My lord, it seems that Lord Fan and Lord Nie's family died of illness, but the specific illness is something that even the county's investigators can't find out."

Hu Qian nodded, and decided to investigate the matter carefully later.

"What happened yesterday, have all the criminals involved been caught?"

"My lord, Liu Fugui died in prison, the rest of the people have been arrested and all the dirty money has been brought back."

"Okay, command to go down, open the four gates, and the people can come in and out normally.

In addition, a notice was posted, saying that the case of fraudulent donations would be heard publicly in three days. "

"Yes!"

Just as Hu Qian was about to get up, Qin Jia said again: "My lord, my servant will prepare a banquet in the reception building to clean up the dust for your lord."

"Who are there?"

"The county's chief registry, history, inspection department's inspections and deputy inspections will all be present to accompany them."

Hu Qian wanted to refuse at first, but after thinking about it, it was better to meet these people.

So he nodded, "Okay, I will be there on time."

When they arrived at Houya, Rong Ning'er and Yingcai were still packing their things.

Because Mr. Nie's family died here, many of their clothes are still there, and so is Mr. Fan.

After the two of them died, Qin Jia didn't let anyone in or out, so none of these things were missing.

But Hu Qian didn't want to use the dead man's things, so he said to Hu Jiu: "Call the old cigarette bag and Mrs. Zhou, and give these to them."

Hu Jiu responded and was about to leave.

Hu Qian said again: "Wait, call those yamen servants, and let them each pick up two pieces and take them away."

After a while, Lao Yandai and others came over happily, first thanked Hu Qian, then hurriedly selected clothes, shoes and socks, and happily took them away.

While packing up, Hu Qian suddenly saw a painting.

When I opened it, there was clearly a woman painted on it.

I saw that she had a pretty face, with a hint of sadness, it wasn't Nie Xiaoqian, and who was it.

Seeing that he was engrossed, Rong Ning'er asked curiously, "Sir, do you know her?"

Hu Qian nodded, "Yes, she is Lord Nie Changfeng's daughter, Nie Xiaoqian."

"It turns out that it is Nie Xiaoqian, one of the four beauties in Jinling, who is with us..."

So she went up to look at it carefully, and exclaimed: "Sure enough, she is a rare beauty, if only she is still alive."

Hu Qian's heart moved, he went out to find the old cigarette bag, and asked, "Where are Master Nie's family buried?"

Old Yandai said: "Master Nie and his wife's corpses have been transported back to their ancestral home. The daughter was cremated, and the ashes are at the Sili Bridge outside the city."
