The emperor of the current dynasty was not in the right position, and he was most afraid of mentioning what happened back then.

Many upright and upright old ministers in the court were either demoted or resigned. There were even those who spoke uprightly and angered the emperor and were exiled to the frontier by their families.

Qin Yu's grandfather, Qin Yushi, was exiled by his family just because he mentioned the incident back then.

The emperor was ruthless and sent killers to wipe out the entire Qin family. Only the younger siblings Qin Yu and Qin Miao survived by hiding in a rock crevice in a mountain with their sister Qin Wan.

When Qin Yu was fourteen years old, Qin Wan was spotted by Chu Yunyi's uncle Jiang Zhizhou when he was working outside, and was kidnapped and humiliated to death. Jiang Zhizhou committed evil deeds, but was only killed by Chu Yunyi.

Yun Yi gave a few lectures and the matter was settled. As for Qin Yu, he couldn't even collect his sister's body.

There was a blood feud between Qin Yu and the emperor, Prince Duan. He wanted revenge, and Xie Yan also wanted revenge. In the original book, the two hit it off, and Qin Yu, who was only sixteen years old, became the most valiant general under Xie Yan.

In the end, Xie Yan died of illness, and he led the army to Lingnan, becoming the most troublesome force for the male and female protagonists in the later period.

Now Qin Yu and his sister are crowded in this alley, and Qin Wan is nowhere to be seen. He is afraid that Qin Wan has been poisoned at this moment.

Gu Ning's eyes darkened, making Qin Yu's heart tingle.

He pulled Qin Miao back to him and stared at Gu Ning warily: "I'll just return the jade pendant to you!"

"This is not enough." Gu Ning stretched out a finger and waved it beside Qin Yu, "Do you know who I am?"

When Qin Yu saw her unusual clothes and extremely beautiful appearance, he knew she must be from a big family.

I thought that such a young lady from an aristocratic family must have no brains, and it would be easy for her to just grab a jade pendant and walk away, but she didn't expect that she would be chased all the way here.

He bit his lower lip tightly and stared at Gu Ning again and again. When he finally closed his eyes, he was about to kneel at Gu Ning's feet.

"Stop him!"

Gu Ning moved quickly, and before Qin Yu could kneel down, he and Chun Yu firmly supported his arms.

"Why are you panicking?" Gu Ning rolled her eyes angrily, "I just want you and your sister to go to my house to work."

Qin Yu heard the words, but did not immediately agree.

He subconsciously looked back and saw Qin Miao's face was sallow and thin, but she could still see her beauty.

Over the years, he had wandered around the market and learned about the dirty things that many wealthy families secretly concealed. Gu Ning's sudden show of kindness only made him more vigilant.

What's more... he has more important things to do now!

"That jade pendant is worth thousands of gold. According to the law, you should be exiled for five hundred miles." Gu Ning crossed his arms over his chest and glanced at Qin Yu coldly, "Do you want to be exiled or go to work in my house?"

Chunyu spoke at the right time: "My county master is kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see you trapped in this world at such a young age, so he offered to take you away. This is a blessing that no one else can ask for."

Gu Ning lowered his eyes and saw the tangled expression flashing across Qin Yu's face.

At this moment, she was so blessed that she stared straight at Qin Yu and said word by word: "What trouble do you have? You can tell me."

"Bah!" Qin Yu was like an angry leopard. If Chunyu hadn't held him back, he would have torn Gu Ning into pieces at this moment. "You nobles are all the same!"

Gu Ning looked around and saw clothes that clearly belonged to an adult woman in the hut where the Qin brothers and sisters lived, and her heart beat loudly.

"There are traces of three people living in your home." Gu Ning looked at these furnishings carefully many times and said quietly, "You have a sister?"

"Where is she now?"

Gu Ning's words immediately angered Qin Yu.

He gritted his teeth with hatred, and big tears fell from the corners of his eyes: "She was taken away a long time ago! It was the protection of you powerful officials that made my sister abducted! There is no place to ask for justice.

!I went to report to the official, but before I even got to the official office, I was almost beaten to death on the way!"

"What if I can help you rescue her?" Gu Ning asked.

Qin Yu was stunned on the spot and could not recover for a long time.

Gu Ning was very patient and asked repeatedly: "If I can help you rescue her, are you willing to go back with me?"

"You..." Qin Yu opened his mouth, but did not dare to accept it easily.

After a long time, he asked in a low voice: "Why are you helping me? I stole your jade pendant. It was my fault first. Aren't you nobles always killing people? Why...what is your purpose!"

I don't know what he thought of, but his tone suddenly became sharp.

Chunyu's eyebrows stood up, and she was about to teach Qin Yu a lesson, but was stopped by Gu Ning.

"Okay, no need to worry about a child."

Gu Ning took a few steps forward and looked at Qin Yu. There was no contempt in her beautiful peach blossom eyes, only sincerity: "People are different. Since you have been bullied by those powerful people, why not let me beg for you?"

Be fair. What is the name of the person who kidnapped your sister? Do you know his official position?"

"Master Jiang, the governor of Jiangning!" Qin Yu sneered, "Do you dare to go against him?"

"The Jiang family..." Gu Ning raised her eyebrows and smiled coldly, "What a coincidence, I happen to have a problem with them."

Speaking of this, Gu Ning waved his hand, and Chunyu let go of Qin Yu.

Gu Ning stood in front of him and said slowly: "I am the head of Changning County. Although I have no real power, it is easy to get someone from Jiang Zhizhou. If you are willing to come with me, I will agree

You will definitely rescue your sister for you."

"Do you want to do this deal or not?"

Gu Ning's understatement made Qin Yu's expression change drastically.

I thought he was an ordinary county lord, but I didn’t expect that the person in front of me was actually the lord of Changning County!

He looked at the woman in front of him, feeling extremely confused.

On one side is the sister who is in trouble, and on the other is Gu Ning whose intentions are unclear.

These years of experience made him understand that he should never trust others easily, but the person in front of him looked at him with such clear eyes, even though he was a beggar dressed in rags.

In the end, impulse overcame reason.

He stared at Gu Ning with red eyes, and said word by word: "As long as you can rescue my sister for me, I am willing to serve you in this life, like a cow or a horse! No complaints!"

"Okay." Gu Ning waved the handkerchief in disgust, "Why are you acting like a cow or a horse? I just feel sorry for you and want to find a good place for you!"

"Take them back, wash them clean, and then bring them to me."

Gu Ning turned around and left. Before leaving, he gave Chunyu a few words.

Qin Yu had excellent hearing. After hearing these words clearly, he looked at Gu Ning with even more complicated eyes.

"I heard that you chose two little beggars to come back?"

The eldest princess asked while blowing the hot tea without raising her eyes.

Gu Ning smiled and moved in front of the eldest princess in small steps.

"Grandma, guess what news I found when I went out to find out?"

"oh?"

After hearing this, the eldest princess raised her head and looked at Gu Ning carefully.

Gu Ning was not afraid of her gaze, so he put down the teacup for her, sat in front of her, and said seriously: "That little beggar stole the jade pendant you gave me. I saw that his eyes were clear and his skills were extremely fast.

Then I started to love talents."

The eldest princess glanced at her lightly, but did not expose her flawed rhetoric. She only said lightly: "Then you brought them back?"

"No, no, no!" Gu Ning opened his eyes wide, trying to play up the unusualness of this matter, "Guess what? Qin Yu's sister was kidnapped by an official because she was beautiful."

As soon as these words came out, the eldest princess's eyes immediately changed: "Which official is so bold?"

"Of course..." Gu Ning snorted coldly, "His Royal Highness Duan Wang is a good uncle!"

"Bold!" The eldest princess landed her palm heavily on the table, and the solid wooden table immediately broke into two halves.

"When he was in Beijing, he was known as a womanizer." She stood up angrily and paced the hall repeatedly: "As an official of the imperial court, not only did he not ask for orders for the people, but he did such a heinous thing!"

"He dares to be so arrogant. This must not be the first time he has done this!" Princess Chang's eyes were sharp and she said coldly, "Investigate! We must investigate this matter thoroughly! Go find Lu Zhizhou now!

"

Gu Ning held a fan and kept fanning her, while lighting a fire at the side: "Grandma, if we alert the snake, there is no guarantee that he will not kill someone and silence him. We still have to keep things a little more secret."

Hearing this, the eldest princess frowned, realizing that this matter was unusual, and stared at Gu Ning suspiciously: "What other ideas do you have?"

"Grandma has many friends in Yangzhou to meet. If she rushes to Jiangning, it will inevitably arouse suspicion from others." Gu Ning sat upright and said obediently, "Why don't you let me go to Jiangning first, investigate secretly, and rescue the women who have been victimized first?

Come out, and when you arrive in Jiangning, you can make the decision to avenge them."

The eldest princess wanted to refuse, but Gu Ning said: "After all, the Lord of Changning County is angry and doesn't like to socialize with others, so it is reasonable to take the first step. Besides, I am the County Lord, Jiang Zhizhou

Do you still dare to kill me?"

Speaking of this, she added slowly: "If you are worried, you can send me a few more guards."

The eldest princess's eyelids twitched: "Ning'er, which guards do you want?"

"Thank you for your martial arts skills, guard. I believe that with him by my side, I will be able to turn danger into good luck and have a safe journey." Gu Ning showed a cute smile and looked at the eldest princess longingly.

Seeing her look like this, the eldest princess rubbed her frown and said helplessly: "Do you really think that no one else can see your thoughts?"

Gu Ning was about to explain, but saw the eldest princess wave her hand: "Okay, you go back first, I have to consider this matter carefully."

"Grandma..." Gu Ning tugged on her sleeves, unwilling to let go, "Just let me do this!"

The eldest princess tugged at the corner of her clothes and said angrily: "If you talk again, I won't let you go to Jiangning."

Hearing this, Gu Ning immediately shut his mouth.
