Chapter 212 Want Your Life
It has been three days since the murderer appeared, and the government has not found any clues to identify the suspect. As a result, the people did not dare to get up early to set up stalls, and they all waited for the sun to come up before going out together on the streets.
The officials who need to go to the morning court now have five or six guards each, and only Chu Xiao, a highly skilled man, is bold and has no worries.
Qin Zhongwan collected some flower petals in the past two days to make balm. Chu Changying and Liu Lanyan had been depressed for several days. She wanted to do something to ease the atmosphere at home.
"Miss."
Aunt Lan came in from outside and said to Qin Zhongwan: "There is someone outside looking for you. They seem to be very anxious."
"Anyone looking for me?"
Qin Zhongwan raised his head in confusion: "Who is it?"
Nanny Lan said: "He said he is Yuan Chun's neighbor and he has something urgent to see the lady."
Yuan Chun?
Qin Zhongwan's face suddenly became serious. Could it be that something happened to Mr. Yuan?
She immediately put down what she was holding and walked towards the door.
Qinglian and Nanny Lan hurriedly followed.
At the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, a thin man dressed in black with an apron hanging in front of him was pacing anxiously. After seeing Qin Zhongwan, he immediately greeted him: "I have seen Miss Qin Er."
Qin Zhongwan frowned slightly: "You said you are Yuan Chun's neighbor. Why did you come to see me?"
Qin Zhongwan remembered that Yuan Chun had said before that his neighbor was a charcoal burner. Looking at the charcoal ash on the man's body and the dusty face, he did not doubt the other party's identity.
The man quickly explained: "Back to Miss Qin, it's like this. Mr. Yuan fell into a coma at home this morning. Yuan Chun didn't dare to treat him, so he asked me to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find Miss Qin. I also asked Miss Qin to Go over and see Mr. Yuan."
"Old Yuan fainted!"
When Qin Zhongwan heard this, his expression suddenly became serious.
At Mr. Yuan's age, his legs and feet are indeed inconvenient. He often laughs at himself for being old and dim, but he didn't expect that something would really happen.
"You lead the way, I'll be there right away."
Elder Yuan's situation could not be delayed. Qin Zhongwan asked Nanny Lan to go back and tell Liu Lanyan, and then she took Qinglian and left with the man.
Nanny Lan was worried about Qin Zhongwan's safety, but she also knew that Mr. Yuan's situation could not be delayed, so she could only go back and report to Liu Lanyan.
Because of the matter of poaching the evildoers, the common people were afraid and did not dare to come out, and there was no one on the trail.
Seeing the man's speed getting faster and faster, Qin Zhongwan felt something was wrong. She slowed down with Qinglian and slowly looked around.
"Second Miss Qin, you'll be here soon."
When the man noticed that they had not followed, he stopped and waited, saying words of encouragement.
Qin Zhongwan saw the corners of his mouth raised, and immediately stood on the spot, looking at him warily: "You are not Yuan Chun's neighbor, who are you?"
The man raised his eyebrows when he heard this and chuckled: "Miss Qin Er is really sharp. She discovered something was wrong so quickly. It's just a pity that it's too late."
As soon as he finished speaking, four men in black came out from behind the man, the knives in their hands still glowing with cold light.
"Be careful, ma'am."
Qinglian was about to go back while protecting Qin Zhongwan, but their way was cut off by them. Two men in black clothes with the same attire surrounded them.
"What do you want to do?"
Qin Zhongwan looked at the man who led them before and asked.
She didn't know why, but she felt that these men in black gave her a very familiar feeling.
"Of course, it will cost Miss Qin's life."
The man said frightening words in a flat tone, and the way he looked at the two of them was like looking at two little rabbits in a cage with a tiger, playing with them with disdain.
"Bold!"
Qinglian held Qin Zhongwan's hand tightly, trying to use her identity to intimidate him: "My young lady is the second young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion. If you dare to attack our young lady, I think you don't want to live anymore. The Prime Minister's Mansion will definitely not let her go." Yours."
"Ah."
The man sneered disdainfully: "When we decide to attack you, we don't care what your identity is. Just do it and deal with it cleanly."
"kill!"
Several men in black rushed forward together. Qinglian kept guarding Qin Zhongwan: "Miss, run!"
"Qinglian!"
Qin Zhongwan found two packets of medicinal powder from his body while hiding, and sprinkled it towards the men in black.
The man in black was obviously on guard and covered his mouth and nose when she raised her hand.
Although it was not inhaled into the body, it interfered with their sight. Qinglian took the opportunity to knock the two of them away and sent Qin Zhongwan out: "Miss, leave quickly!"
Qin Zhongwan gritted his teeth and ran, but finally couldn't help but look back, and then saw those people's long knives piercing Qinglian's body.
Qinglian's body stiffened and she vomited a lot of blood from her mouth. Until now, she was still urging Qin Zhongwan: "Quick...go..."
"Chase!"
The death of a maid does not count as completing the mission, so Qin Zhongwan cannot be allowed to run away.
The man in black was stunned for a moment and immediately started to chase. The man in the front was about to move but found a resistance under his feet.
He lowered his head and saw the dying Qinglian holding his leg tightly: "I can't...let you...hurt the lady."
There was a fierce look in the eyes of the man in black, and he kicked Qinglian away and chased him out quickly. Qinglian maintained this position and lost his breath after a moment.
