Chapter 146 The Wolf's Ambition
Chapter 146 The Wolf's Ambition
Qin Yi knew very well that it was even more difficult for her to help with matters that even the Wen family found difficult.So she couldn't do anything except to bring some things to visit in the cell and make sure Wen Jinghan was safe for the time being.
Fortunately, Yuan Sima didn't seem to do anything too extreme. When Qin Yi went to visit the prison, the guards were not too embarrassed.
The environment in the cell was even worse than Qin Yi imagined. The strong smell, the humid environment, and all kinds of wailing voices made people's heart sink unconsciously.Qin Yi felt that he couldn't stay here for a while, and he couldn't even imagine how a person as beautiful as Wen Jinghan would endure such a prison.
When Qin Yi followed the jailer to the outside of Wen Jinghan's cell, Wen Jinghan was staring at the prison food distributed by the jailer in the evening in a daze—unsurprisingly, the leftovers were cooked in a mess like pig food. It makes people lose their appetite. The only thing to be thankful for is that the weather is not too hot, so the prison food is not bad.
Naturally, Wen Jinghan couldn't eat such a meal, but even she didn't know how long she would have to stay in this cell, maybe she really had to get used to it?Just when Wen Jinghan was hesitating whether to reach out, Qin Yi arrived with two servants.
It was just an afternoon. Wen Jinghan still let out a long sigh of relief when he saw Qin Yi.And Qin Yi rushed up without waiting for the jailer to open the cell door, stretched out his hand across the fence to caress Wen Jinghan's face, and said repeatedly: "It's all my fault, you have suffered."
Wen Jinghan's originally dignified expression softened unconsciously, she shook her head and said, "It's okay, I don't blame you."
The jailer glanced sideways at the two of them, then took out the key and opened the door of the cell.As soon as the heavy iron chain was untied, Qin Yi hurried in. The two servants behind him were carrying food boxes and brocade quilts and thick clothes. Qin Yi also specially brought an extra curtain, so that he could barely separate them in the prison. Create a small private space - for this, Qin Yi also gave a lot of money.
The two servants arranged the cell for themselves, and the jailer was waiting outside the door. Qin Yi took the food box and looked around, but he didn't see a table in the cell, so he had to put the food box on the ground.While opening the food box to take out the food, she said, "I haven't eaten anything at noon, are you hungry? Eat quickly, and I will send food for every meal from now on."
Wen Jinghan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and completely ignored the pig food-like prison meal.She glanced at the jailer outside the door, walked to Qin Yi's side, sat down on the ground without any scruples, and asked when she took the bowl and chopsticks: "Is everything okay at home?"
Qin Yi raised his eyes to meet Wen Jinghan's, but shook his head and said, "It's not very good, Auntie passed out after she knew you were taken away."
However, Wen Jinghan could hear that what Qin Yi said was not good was just referring to Mrs. Qin, maybe her father was also not good, right?But right now there were too many outsiders around, so she couldn't ask any more questions, so she raised the bowl and chopsticks and started eating.
Not long after, the two servants spread out the tattered wooden bed, tidied away the straw that was already infested with insects, lighted insect-repelling herbs and hung up curtains to block the line of sight, barely allowing people to live there.Then the two left the cell consciously, and even more consciously blocked the door to block the sight of the jailer outside. The latter took the money but didn't say anything.
It wasn't until this moment that Qin Yi opened her mouth in a low voice. She told the whole story of the Zuifenglou incident and Prime Minister Wen's attitude, and finally said: "This place is too bad, you can't stay here for long. This matter is not the same as mine. Cousin must be involved, if not, I will go to him."
While eating slowly, Wen Jinghan shook her head after listening to her, and said softly: "No, he is not a key person, and it is useless for you to find him. This matter is not that simple, the people in Zuifenglou They were tortured to force them to admit to poisoning. At first I thought these things were aimed at the Qin family's wealth, but now it seems that it is more than that."
Qin Yi also guessed it, so he asked in a softer voice: "Is it for the Wen family?"
Wen Jinghan lowered her eyes and pondered for a while, then nodded lightly: "Maybe. My father was in a high position back then, and there were many people who had different political opinions. Now that he has stepped back, maybe someone wants to target the Wen family. However, Luocheng is too far away from the capital, and this kind of targeting should have been aimed at my two elder brothers, but somehow it made a big detour and implicated the Qin family."
Qin Yi was silent for a while, then asked again: "Is there anything I can do?"
Wen Jinghan sighed, and said with some helplessness: "You can't do anything, and I can't do anything, just wait for them to play behind their backs." After she finished speaking, she suddenly looked at the opposite cells, and said: "If you If you want to help, then let the family members of these folks in Zuifenglou settle down properly."
Qin Yi nodded hastily, but felt lost in his heart, and finally asked: "Then when will you come out?"
Wen Jinghan lowered her eyes, staring at the exquisite dishes in the food box, but did not answer.
……
Qin Yi knew that the reason why Wen Jinghan asked him to take care of the families of those people who settled in Zuifenglou was to appease people's hearts.Those cooks may be tortured to death at any time. If they don't do something to appease people's hearts, I'm afraid that someone will soon be unable to hold on to the torture, and then the dirty water will naturally be poured on the Qin family. Wen Jinghan's situation It will also be more dangerous.
There is no need to delay this matter. After Qin Yi came out of the prison, he ordered Qin An to do it immediately.Then she went to Wen's house by herself and told Prime Minister Wen what happened in prison.
Prime Minister Wen's reaction was as deep as ever, and Qin Yi couldn't see what the other party was thinking at all.And Prime Minister Wen obviously didn't intend to explain anything to her, so he sent her out again in a few words.
Qin Yi has never resented her own incompetence so much. If it weren't for this, she wouldn't have nowhere to turn to except the Wen family.But in fact, she can only do what Wen Jinghan said, can't do anything, just wait for the final result.
The night passed, and Qin Yi curled up on the bed full of Wen Jinghan's breath, and still couldn't sleep peacefully.
Not long after waking up early in the morning, Qin Yigang sent people to deliver meals to the prison, and Qin An hurried over, his expression was also extraordinarily solemn: "Young Madam, the family members of those guys in Zuifenglou are all missing this morning!"
Qin Yi's eyes widened when he heard this, and he said in surprise, "Missing?!"
Qin An nodded, his expression became more solemn, and he replied: "After the young lady gave orders last night, I had someone go and see them. Those people were still there at that time, but they didn't do anything because it was too late. But this morning I will bring People passed by, but they failed to knock on the door. Several houses in a row climbed over the wall and entered, but there was no one inside, and there were still uneaten breakfasts on the tables in two of them.”
After hearing this, Qin Yi felt dark in front of his eyes, almost lost his footing, and said in his heart: "It's broken!"
The people in the cell were being tortured to extract confessions. She took a look at the cooks who had been tortured. With such injuries, it would not be easy for all the people in Zuifeng Building to survive.If the family members of these people fall into the hands of the other party again, as long as there is a threat, the matter of poisoning will definitely fall on them!
Qin Yi took a deep breath, then his eyes turned cold, and he said to Qin An: "Look for it! Mobilize all connections to find him, and you must find him! If not, the Qin family will not be able to keep their mouths shut, and your young master will be the first to die. "
Qin An naturally knew that this was a serious matter, so he hurriedly agreed and went out again.
Qin Yi thought for a while, and was about to go to Wen's house again, when he saw an unfamiliar servant suddenly running to Qiushuiju.She didn't remember this person very much, so she didn't want to pay attention to it, but the servant said: "Young Madam, the younger one was ordered by the Young Master to keep an eye on the main courtyard. The Young Master Biao came just now, and he is now in the main courtyard."
Hearing this, Qin Yi felt his heart sink, and after cursing secretly, he didn't care about going to Wen's house, so he hurried to the main courtyard.
What Mrs. Qin said to Wen Jinghan earlier was not a lie, and she has given up on her nephew Zhou Qiyan now.At the beginning, she didn't intend to see Zhou Qiyan, but a nanny beside her said: "Master Biao is now married to the Wu family, and Mrs. Biao is Yuan Sima's niece. Now the young master is involved in a lawsuit. Master Biao, go and walk around."
Mrs. Qin felt that the words made sense, so she met Zhou Qiyan again, and was once again moved by the other's sweet words.
When Qin Yi arrived in a hurry, Mrs. Qin was holding a small box and was about to hand it to Zhou Qiyan, and she said: "Qiyan, Ah Yi is entirely up to you this time, you take these, as long as you can save Ah Yi Come out, it doesn't matter how much you spend!"
When the young master saw this scene, his lungs almost exploded.She stepped forward to stop Mrs. Qin's movement, and looked at Zhou Qiyan coldly: "What is cousin doing here today, taking advantage of the fire?!"
These words were too blunt, even Zhou Qiyan, who was as cheeky as Zhou Qiyan, felt that he couldn't hold back his face.However, he was afraid of the power of the Wen family, so he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so he just laughed dryly and said: "My brother and sister are joking, being a brother is just knowing about my cousin, come here to see if there is anything I can do to help That's all."
Qin Yi sneered and said, "I appreciate my cousin's kindness, so you don't need to worry about this matter."
Seeing that Qin Yi was about to send Zhou Qiyan away with a few words, Mrs. Qin became anxious. She grabbed Qin Yi's arm and said forcefully: "This matter has nothing to do with you, you don't need to worry about it! Ah Yi is still here In prison, your Wen family can't save anyone, so why can't we do it ourselves?!" Saying that, he still wanted to hand over the box to Zhou Qiyan.
Qin Yi didn't know that Zhou Qiyan had just told Mrs. Qin before that the reason why the Wen family couldn't save anyone was because they cherished the feathers, and they never reached out to help, otherwise, how could the Wen family not be able to save people with their power.Mrs. Qin is full of resentment towards Qin Yi at this moment, how can she be seen doing such a thing?
But does the young master have the temperament to think twice?Obviously not.So she simply snatched the box from Mrs. Qin's hand, glared at her mother-in-law and said, "I'll take care of this matter, you just don't want to make trouble!"
Mrs. Qin was so angry that her liver hurt, and she was about to grab the box, but Qin Yi turned around and said to Zhou Qiyan: "Now there is something at home, it is not convenient to receive guests, please cousin go back first."
Zhou Qiyan stared at the box for a while, his face was livid, and after saying "yes" three times in a row, he turned around and left with a flick of his sleeves, and left a sentence: "You guys drove me away today, don't ask for it again tomorrow." Come on my head."
Mrs. Qin became anxious when she saw it, she turned around and wanted to chase after her, but was finally held back by Qin Yi.
It wasn't until Zhou Qiyan really walked out of the main courtyard that Qin Yi let go, and Mrs. Qin scolded her head and face when she turned her head: "You wicked woman, what kind of intentions do you have, do you have to kill Ah Yi to be willing?! "
Qin Yi's expression turned ugly again, she slammed the box on the table with a "bang", then lifted the lid of the box, and saw stacks of bank notes inside.She casually took it out, took another look into the box, and sure enough, she saw several house deeds and land deeds, so she sneered and said, "Are you using these to bribe people?!"
Mrs. Qin was getting angry, and she was flustered because of Zhou Qiyan's words, so she said angrily: "So what? These are all belongings of my Qin family, and have nothing to do with you. I can give them to whomever I like."
Qin Yi really didn't know why her mother was so stupid. She took a deep breath, but couldn't help losing her temper, and threw the stack of house deeds and land deeds on the table forcefully: "You said it belonged to the Qin family, Who doesn't know that these belong to the Qin family, if you use this to bribe court officials, the Qin family's original innocence will become guilty!"
Mrs. Qin shrank her neck in fright from her sudden angry reprimand, and immediately a layer of water glistened in her eyes, and she slapped the table like a broken pot and said, "Then what do you think?! Your Wen family refuses to help, I'm not stupid, what you said yesterday was so perfunctory, did you mean to save Ah Yi? If you don't want to save him, then I will save him myself!"
Qin Yi was also a little speechless. Thinking of the bad things going on at home and outside the house, he immediately covered his forehead with a headache, and finally said: "Don't make trouble, Zhou Qiyan is ambitious, I'm afraid he's just waiting to win over the Qin family right now." , how can you believe it? I said Ah Yi will be fine, if something happens to her, I will pay her my life!"
After saying this, Qin Yi dropped the bank note in his hand, turned around and left.
