The mastermind behind Hongxiu
was probably angry with Qiu Che, and he didn't expect the prince to be so stupid as to directly agree to Qiu Che's request in public.
In this way, even if what Qiu Che told is a lie, as long as the emperor cannot stand up and clarify for a day, Qiu Che can use the prince's words as a talisman for a day.
So when he went to court the next day, I don't know if it was Qiu Che's misunderstanding, but he always felt that the prince's face seemed to be uglier.
After the courtiers had finished arguing with each other for the day, Qiu Che handed over the information about who would stay and who would go.
The prince had a sullen face, and after flipping through a few pages absentmindedly, he suddenly frowned and said, "Those who stay, want to form a new city defense team?"
Qiu Che nodded calmly: "This is what the soldiers themselves want - Xia Guan I have seen that the city guards patrolling the capital today are undisciplined, dishonest, and full of insects, so I thought that in this case, it would be better to create a new city defense team..."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute," the prince said. She stopped and asked in disbelief, "There are still people who want to be martial arts masters or open a martial arts gym?"
Qiu Che smiled: "Not all soldiers have the determination to continue to fight after experiencing the bloody storms on the battlefield. Now The family and the country should be given a good place to go."
"How can that be done!" The prince said firmly, "Letting them join the army is already an exception. How can a woman enter the battlefield of a sage? Become a master in the school? This is ridiculous!"
As soon as these words came out, the buzzing discussion in the court suddenly fell silent.
Many generals had fire in their eyes and their expressions became ugly.
The prince noticed their gazes, reacted, and coughed twice stiffly.
"In short... Master Qiu's move is really inappropriate..."
"Huh?" Qiu Che tilted his head with an innocent look on his face, and even blinked at him, "But yesterday, the official had already started to prepare. When the law was revised again, regulations were also added that women could also enter the hall, take the imperial examination, and go to war. Didn't His Highness tell the official yesterday that you supported the changes?"
Prince: "... "
Facing the shocked gazes of the ministers, he opened his mouth and was speechless for a long time.
After a moment, he took a deep breath angrily and said, "Master Qiu is right."
Qiu Che took some time to relax and looked at him quietly to see what he was going to say.
"Let the school matters go for now. What I didn't expect is that so many soldiers would choose to stay in the capital." The prince paused and said, "There is nothing wrong with forming a city defense team. It's just that you soldiers don't have such experience. He did a better job than the previous city patrol guards..."
He looked at Qiu Che and said: "I see that Lord Qiu serves the country and the people, and cares deeply about all the women soldiers. He is also the head of the Ministry of Etiquette, and he must follow the rules everywhere. The most familiar one - why don't you be their teacher?"
Unable to refuse Qiu Che, the prince raised his hand and said, "Let me think about it... in one month, there will be a new martial arts training ground outside the city. , Mr. Qiu will take all the soldiers to conduct military training and inspections at the training ground every day - how about replacing the city defense team in a month?"
Qiu Che immediately reacted - this was taught to him again.
After hearing her suggestion, the other party also had no idea what she wanted to do, but maybe he saw some clues and was unwilling to let her stay to cause trouble.
So he took the first step and asked the prince to find a way to get her outside the city.
In an instant, the thoughts in Qiu Che's mind went back and forth.
But it has to be said that the prince is rarely smart for once. In this case, Qiu Che really can't refuse directly.
It would be bad if you push people too hard.
She thought for a moment, then handed over her hand and accepted the decree.
Then he turned his head and the next day, when the prince was beaming with joy and swept away the evil thoughts from his eyebrows, he ran to drink flower wine and led his men to copy the red sleeve move.
The prince was sitting on a chair and was very drunk. When he heard the door being kicked, he didn't react yet. He still squinted his eyes and cursed dissatisfiedly: "Who! Don't you know that I am drinking inside?" A
pipa player was playing next to him. But the girl came to her senses first, screamed, knelt down on the spot holding the pipa, and said tremblingly: "My lords, my family didn't do anything bad..." The
straight-backed "man" in the lead said, A cold female voice.
She was carrying a token, and saw clearly that it was engraved with three big characters that had just been issued: "City Guards. Clean up the brothels and gambling houses in the city according to the law. Everyone inside should squat down!"
The prince was excited. Finally came to his senses.
Turning around, he saw that Qiu Che was leading a dozens of women's teams in neat and solemn uniforms behind him, looking in his direction with a smile.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince - what a coincidence."
The Crown Prince suddenly stood up, and the wine bottles he was holding fell to the ground, smashing to pieces with a crash.
He stumbled, pointed at Qiu Che and said: "You, you, you, you..."
Qiu Che took a step forward, his expression unchanged: "What do I do?"
The prince's face turned red and confused, and it took him a while to remember - at his door Where are the guards?
He suddenly raised his voice: "Come here! Come here! Anyone who lets them in will be kicked out by me -"
Qiu Che said gently: "Your Highness, there is no need to panic, your guards are naturally safe and sound. But I am the official There was no malice, I was just following orders... Yesterday, you personally approved the report about cleaning up brothels and gambling houses, have you forgotten?"
Her slow laughter sounded like righteous sarcasm to the prince's ears.
The prince's pupils were shaking, and he stuttered for a long time. His confused thoughts could not find the words to refute.
He had just breathed a sigh of relief yesterday when Qiu Che agreed to go outside the city, and while he was relaxing, the memorials were as usual, and he approved all the unimportant ones at once - how could he remember whether there were any memorials about Qiu Che among them?
But at this time, it is certainly impossible for him to say "I didn't watch" in public.
But...
brothels and gambling houses can be regarded as the lowest level of business culture in today's society, and many officials are involved in them privately.
If Qiu Che wants to eradicate this industrial chain, he will inevitably offend many forces.
Is she crazy?
Why do this? ?
The prince racked his brains and didn't understand why Qiu Che would make such a thankless decision.
...However, it seems that the other party has done quite a lot of thankless things.
In the past, he revealed his identity in order to send his father and brother to prison. Later, in order to prevent Pingyi from getting married, he volunteered to go to the north.
Qiu Che himself is full of all kinds of things that are incomprehensible.
He thought about this only for a moment.
But in just a short moment, the smile on Qiu Che's face slowly fell and became calm.
She suddenly came closer and whispered: "His Royal Highness."
The prince subconsciously took a step back, and his face froze when he was shocked by his "fearful" action.
"You are the crown prince, are you really willing to put in all your hard work and end up being a dowry for someone else?"
In the flash of lightning, a thread broke in the prince's mind.
He trembled his lips, the emotions in his eyes changed several times, and his face was gloomier than ever before: "Don't sow discord...that's wrong."
The prince suddenly grabbed Qiu Che's collar and said viciously: "Who told you that I Are you making wedding clothes for others?"
In an instant, the sound of swords rang out.
A group of women from the city guard behind him drew their swords one after another, looking at the prince warily, and were about to rush towards him -
Qiu Che raised his hand.
Just this simple action stopped their progress.
She and the prince were actually about the same height, and their eyes were facing each other. Even though she had no expression, there was even a smile on her lips.
But the prince just felt that her expression contained a threat.
It is a kind of obscure, condescending and breathtaking aura that comes from having been in a high position for a long time.
So much so that the prince couldn't help but relax a little more.
He glanced at the vigilant women behind her, and his face couldn't help but twitch.
I didn't know who the prince was for a while.
Qiu Che stretched out his hand calmly. Although his wrist was slender, his strength was stronger than that of most men.
The prince originally pulled it with an intimidating force, but she pulled it off forcefully.
There is no resistance yet.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince misunderstood, I didn't say anything, someone told me this."
Qiu Che smiled coldly, "It's just a small reminder... If His Highness refuses to listen, then there is nothing I can do for you ."
The last few words were spoken very softly between her lips and teeth.
The prince was so sick of the cold that the hairs all over his body were about to come out.
He stood there in a daze until the group of people came and left like a wind.
Only a group of men in Hongxiuzhao who were interrupted in the gentle village were left, holding up their pants and running out in panic.
"What happened? What happened?"
"Come with us to the Yamen."
"Who are you? If you dare to arrest me, do you know who my father is..."
"City Protection Team."
"City Protection Team Team? Why are they all a group of women? And how can you arrest people at will?"
"It is the duty of our city guard team to post a notice in the city yesterday. If you have any objections, please raise them to His Highness the Crown Prince."
Where no one could see him, the Crown Prince left with a group of guards with faces like black clouds and walking like wind through the back door of Hongxiu Zhao.
After a massive sweep, Hongxiu Zhao was immediately closed down, and the atmosphere in the house was gloomy and gloomy.
Lian Yun hid behind the screen and waited until the noise faded away before daring to come out.
Her real name is Lianyin, but this name once framed the now extremely prestigious Master Qiu, so everyone shouted for beating her.
After joining the Red Sleeve Movement, the Madam changed her name to Yun.
Clouds have no roots.
When she came out, Madam Meng's mother was hurriedly passing by the door. When she saw her, she took two steps back and scolded in a low voice: "Damn girl, where have you been?"
Before Lian Yun could say anything, she thought of something else. , rummaged through the baggage he carried with him for a long time, and finally stuffed a bulging purse into Lian Yun's hand.
Judging from the weight, it should be silver.
It's a lot of money.
In addition to this, there is also a... deed of sale.
Lianyun was stunned: "Mom, what is this?"
"Master Qiu will not allow the private sector to open brothels and other places anymore. From now on, Hong Xiu Zhao will no longer be a good place to go. You take this money and your body." "Qi, go live a good life."
Although she said it couldn't be done, the tears falling in Mother Meng's eyes were clearly tears of joy.
It's like... I've been waiting for this day for a long time.
She wiped her tears again, seemed to be in a hurry, patted her shoulder, and whispered: "Don't do this business in the future. Whatever you do is fine, live your life well."
After that, she left.
Lian Yun stood there, holding the purse in his hand, his mind full of confusion and he didn't know what to think.
Or maybe she wasn't thinking about anything.
She just suddenly remembered those eyes as cold as cold stars in her memory.
It seemed that many of the changes in her short life were because of the other party.
Just like the current name, it has no roots and no roots.
But itâs all your own fault.
ââShe actually met many kind people.
For example, Yaotai, who stood up and spoke for her, has now passed away.
For example, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, who was rumored to be pampered and pampered by thousands of people, was willing to speak up for a poor woman like her, and even contradicted the prince.
There is also Master Qiu, who has already created countless miracles in just two years as a woman.
And now Mother Meng.
However, because of a sudden change of thought, she always seemed to choose the most common...and darkest path in the end.
Lian Yun looked at the chaotic crowd around him.
After a long time, let out a breath.
But his eyes became firm.
She held her purse and followed the direction Meng's mother left to the backyard.
However, as soon as he entered, he suddenly heard a rather familiar voice: "Have you given me some silver?"
Lian Yun paused and subconsciously retracted his steps.
She has developed the habit of being cautious in every move she makes by observing her actions all year round.
Fortunately, no one heard her slight footsteps.
Lianyun raised his ears and vaguely heard the voice of Mother Meng: "I gave it to you and told the girls. They should be packing their luggage by now."
The voice fell silent and then said: "Ms. Lian "
...are you asking her? "
Lian Yun narrowed his eyes hard as his eyes passed through the hidden grass.
She saw a rather familiar face.
Even though the other party has changed from a man's disguise to a woman, I believe that all the people who went out to see off the Northern Expedition troops during the expedition a year ago will not admit it -
she is naturally one of them -
Lord Qiu?
Lian Yun's heart was filled with thunder and he finally managed to calm down. Then he heard Meng's mother sigh and said:
"My lord is kind-hearted... Don't worry, I also gave that girl the contract to sell her body. I believe she will still want to live a good life in the future." If I live my life, I won't do anything to you again when I return to the capital. "
Her silver and the contract of betrayal...were all given by Qiu Che's instructions to Mother Meng?
Lian Yun froze on the spot.
Over there, Qiu Che seemed unaware of the slight movement in the grass not far away, and whispered a few words to Mother Meng.
Then suddenly I heard two very obvious footsteps.
Mother Meng turned her head sharply and scolded with fierce eyes: "Who!"
Qiu Che held down her arm, which was rounded to attack, and took the first step forward.
Behind the grass, there was only a faint footprint.
There was a bulging purse on the ground, and a piece of crumpled ink paper.
Qiu Che picked up the note and opened it, took a look at it, and his eyelids twitched.
Mother Meng walked over, looked around carefully, and asked in a low voice: "City Lord, are there assassins?"
- Yes.
As I said a long time ago, Mother Meng is actually from Yeming City.
The red sleeve move being copied today was just a scene where she cooperated with Qiu Che, but the girls really didn't know about it.
The purpose is to let people see that the number one brothel in the capital has been raided, and many of the unfavorable small business chains underneath will naturally be cut off.
Qiu Che looked calmly before she looked over, crumpled the paper into a ball again, and stuffed it into his sleeve leisurely.
His posture was so leisurely that he seemed to be stuffing some bright spring flowers into his sleeves.
"No."
"What is that?"
Meng's mother said casually, and after taking a closer look, she suddenly saw the purse that fell on the ground.
"It's nothing."
Qiu Che glanced at the direction Lian Yun left and said lightly, "It's not too late...just a cat to repay a favor."
"Since some people don't accept it, let's keep it." She Patted Mother Meng's shoulder.
Mother Meng picked up the purse blankly and found that it was indeed the style she had given away: "How come some silly girl refuses to accept the money after giving it to her?"
"Maybe accepting the money is more painful for them than not accepting it. "
The cloud is rootless duckweed.
But it could have an explanation.
Represents freedom.
It's too late. It's too late.
*A patch was made to change Lianyin's name to Lianyun.
