The night is getting darker.
Qiuniang finished settling today's accounts, closed the study door, and walked to a small courtyard next to Qingshi Street.
This is a house she rented near her study.
It's close and easy to get back and forth.
Qiuniang walked for a while and felt that there was someone nearby, but when she turned around, she saw nothing.
Qiuniang didn't pay too much attention to it. Business has been so good recently. Maybe she was so busy that she felt dizzy. She felt like there were people everywhere.
Returning to the simple farmhouse, I just opened the door...
"Bang——" A strong wind suddenly came from behind.
As soon as Qiuniang turned around, she was thrown to the ground by the person behind her. The western entourage came in together and closed the courtyard door.
"Let go -" Qiuniang struggled desperately and saw clearly that the person who knocked her down was actually Zhou Hongyang!
Qiuniang was shocked:
"Help--"
But those attendants were very experienced. Some held down Qiuniang's hands and feet, while others blocked her mouth with cloth balls.
But in an instant, Qiuniang was restrained and could only make a whining sound.
"Smelly bitch, it's because of you that I was beaten twice and I can only swallow my anger! Today, I will ask you to collect the interest!" Zhou Hongyang lifted Qiuniang's chin with his fingers and let out a lewd laugh:
"Brother Shen is right. Why am I causing trouble for the North Prince's Mansion? If I deal with you and throw your body into the wilderness, the North Prince's Mansion won't be able to find out about this young master."
A flash of panic flashed in Qiuniang's eyes, she didn't expect Zhou Hongyang to dare to be so lawless.
Outside the courtyard gate.
A tall and beautiful woman was hiding behind a courtyard wall. Hua Lian saw Zhou Hongyang knocking down the civilian girl with her own eyes...
The courtyard door was closed.
But you can tell what's going on inside without looking.
Hua Lian clenched her fists, but she also knew that she was no match for them if she went in alone...
There are so many of them...
Hua Lian's eyes fell on the pile of firewood outside the courtyard door...
Pick up the firewood that you carry with you and light the firewood...
Then he deliberately shouted at the top of his voice: "Here comes someone! He's gone!"
Nowadays the weather is dry and things are dry.
The fire burned very quickly, and the entire courtyard was surrounded by fire, burning toward the eaves of the surrounding neighbors.
"It's too late! It's too late!"
The surrounding people woke up one after another and came out with buckets to put out the fire.
……
"Master, there's a fire! There's a fire outside the door!" the attendant shouted in panic.
Zhou Hongyang was also startled when he saw the raging fire, "Go, go!"
"What to do with this woman?" the attendant asked.
Zhou Hongyang couldn't care about her and ran away in a hurry, "Knock her unconscious and wait for the fire to burn her... It's really unlucky that the fire broke out before I could do anything! Leave quickly! Leave through the back door!"
At this time, people outside the gate were awakened to put out the fire.
Zhou Hongyang was worried about being seen, so he ran to the back door.
The attendant punched Qiuniang on the forehead, knocking her unconscious, and escaped through the back door while protecting Zhou Hongyang.
With the intensity of the fire, unless someone rushed in to save her regardless of the danger, she would definitely be burned to death.
If they kill the person first, when the government conducts a detailed investigation, it will attract attention.
Zhou Hongyang thought that Qiuniang would definitely die, so he fled first...
……
Outside the courtyard gate.
Hua Lian picked up the bucket, poured a bucket of water on her head, and rushed in.
The yard was empty.
Zhou Hongyang and others had already run away.
A woman is lying on the ground.
Hua Lian carried the unconscious Qiuniang on her back and escaped from the fire. He left the person on the roadside and left quickly.
At this time, people here are rushing to put out the fire, so there is no need to worry about what Zhou Hongyang will do when he comes back.
On the way back to Yanyu Tower.
Hua Lian then remembered that if she had locked the front and rear doors first and then lit the ignition...
Zhou Hongyang is dead.
But at that time... I only thought about saving people, and I forgot about this.
If Zhou Hongyang could be killed, the death of one more person would be nothing.
……
Bei Wangfu, Jinyuyuan.
Jiang Rong lazily leaned on the couch and read a book with the lamp on.
Jade hurriedly walked in, "Prince Princess, something happened to Qiuniang! There was a fire in the yard where she lived, but luckily she was rescued by a kind person..."
"How is she? Please ask the doctor to take a look!" Jiang Rong's expression changed instantly.
Jade replied, "Master Song Heng sent her to the hospital. The doctor said... that she was knocked unconscious."
Song Heng lives nearby.
Fighting the fire with the neighbors, they discovered that the fire was caused by Qiu's mother's house. When she saw her unconscious on the roadside, she was rushed to the hospital.
I thought Qiuniang was choked by the smoke.
But after examination, the doctor found that she had been knocked unconscious. Song Heng felt for the first time that the matter was not simple, and quickly reported the news to Beiwang Mansion.
"Knocked out?" Jiang Rong frowned. Qiuniang has always had no enmity or enmity with anyone...could it be Zhou Hongyang?
Jiang Rong sent someone to take Qiuniang back to Beiwang Mansion.
The doctor used the medicine, and Qiuniang gradually regained consciousness on the way back home.
"The Crown Princess, this is Zhou Hongyang..." As soon as Qiu Niang saw Jiang Rong, she couldn't help but shed tears, her voice full of fear.
There are guards on duty at Wanjuan Study, and the imperial concubine has already told her that she would bring guards with her when traveling on weekdays.
But she felt that she was just a little slave, so there was no need for such a grand display. So I never bothered with escorting me there.
did not expect……
Something happened tonight.
"...Suddenly there was a fire outside, and they ran away..." Qiuniang told the whole story, trying hard to suppress her trembling voice:
"This slave was confused and saw someone rushing in to save me...it looked like Miss Hua Lian..."
What happened today frightened her greatly. She didn't even know if it was a frightened hallucination when she later saw Miss Hua Lian rushing in to save her...
How could Miss Hua Lian happen to appear near Qingshi Street?
Hana Rei?
Jiang Rong heard the name and roughly understood what was going on.
Hua Lian should be following Zhou Hongyang. After discovering that Zhou Hongyang was attacking Qiuniang, he came to help...
"Qiuniang, you were frightened today, so take a good rest. Don't worry, Zhou Hongyang's death is coming soon." Jiang Rong looked at Qiuniang and comforted:
"Wear more guards when you go out in the future. Your safety is the most important thing."
Qiuniang nodded with tears in her eyes, "Thank you, Crown Princess..."
The next day.
Bluestone Teahouse, private rooms on the second floor.
Hua Lian looked at the woman in front of her with some vigilance...
Wanjuan Study Hall said that he wanted to write some articles, but the person who came here today was not the book editor, but...
The owner of Wanjuan Study.
The extremely famous Crown Princess of the North.
"Thank you, Mr. Hua Lian, for saving my shopkeeper yesterday." Jiang Rong looked at him and smiled.
Mr. Hua Lian?
As soon as this statement came out.
There was silence in the box.
Qiuniang on the side was also stunned. She looked at the beautiful woman in front of her in disbelief, and then looked back at her princess, with confusion on her face.
Hua Lian's eyes instantly turned cold, full of defensiveness...
"I want to kill Zhou Hongyang." Jiang Rong looked at him and said, "Assassination is not a good idea. I suggest you report the crime."
