Chapter 186: Trap
This happened in a split second. Su Luo saw Wan Yangui being pinched and rolled her eyes at the door. She quickly ran into the hall and hugged Qin Huai's arm. Qin Huai didn't recognize anyone at this moment. With a shake of his arm, he pushed Su Luo to the ground. The housekeeper who followed in shouted, "Master, this is Miss Su!"
Qin Huai's grip loosened a little, and Su Luo quickly stood up and hugged him again, "Let go quickly, he just said that on purpose to irritate you!"
Qin Huai met Su Luo's eyes, and his eyes became clearer. Just when his hand was about to let go completely, Wan Yangui panted and said, "Miss Su, you came just in time. I haven't thanked you yet. If you bring her here in the afternoon, Qin Qing will come and offer herself to me in the evening. Tsk tsk tsk tsk..." Wan Yangui laughed out loud regardless of the cracks in his mouth, "But she is still a little too young, and I can't feel any fun at all. I will let the servants and cooks of the Wan Mansion go and train her. I believe that it won't be long before she can not only satisfy me, but also the guests of Yihongyuan."
Qin Huai had just regained some of his sanity, how could he withstand further provocation? His anger flared up again, and he threw a punch without any fancy moves. Wan Yangui fell to the ground immediately without a word.
Qin Huai walked out of the hall and picked up a servant who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead. "Where is my sister? Tell me!"
The servant was so frightened that he could not speak. He just kept shaking his head, "No, no..."
Qin Huai casually waved his hand, and the servant let out a mournful cry and then fell silent.
Qin Huai rushed into the backyard, shouting Qin Qing's name hysterically. Su Luo knew that he was really scared.
But the Wan Mansion was too big, with too many buildings. If they searched room by room, they might not be able to find Qin Qing until dawn. Su Luo held Qin Huai and asked him to go back and ask Wan Yangui. Qin Huai just shook his head and kept saying, "It's too late, too late..."
"Fake!" Su Luo slapped his face and shouted, "That's fake! He lied to you! Not everyone can do that kind of thing!"
"No, he hates me." Qin Huai's breathing began to become rapid, and his eyes became a little unfocused. "He hates me. He wants to retaliate against me like this. Why...why did I come to the capital..."
Qin Huai began his aimless search again. He was completely trapped in self-blame and fear. He would rather die than let Qin Qing suffer any harm.
Su Luo could only follow him, run with him, and shout with him.
They found another courtyard, and when they came out, they were greeted outside by the Ming Dynasty constables who were in full swing.
Su Luo understood that this was another conspiracy of Wan Yangui. He detained Qin Qing and allowed Qin Huai to break into the Qin Mansion, injure people and beat him half to death. Everything was within his plan. Now he could legitimately appear as a victim and bring Qin Huai to court.
Qin Huai clenched his fists unconsciously. These seven or eight policemen were no match for him. But if Qin Huai took action again at this moment, the charges waiting for him would not only be trespassing and intentional injury.
Su Luo held Qin Huai's hand tightly, "Don't resist, I beg you. I promise you, Qin Qing will be fine, okay?"
"Really?" Qin Huai was more fragile than a newborn baby at this moment. He couldn't find Qin Qing, so he placed his hope on Su Luo.
While Qin Huai was distracted, the officers rushed forward and tied him up neatly. Qin Huai's eyes were fixed on Su Luo, and he asked, "Really?"
Su Luo couldn't help but let her tears well up in her eyes. She wiped them with the back of her hand and said to the officers, "Brothers, can you loosen the rope? He won't do it again."
The officers were ferocious and ignored Su Luo's words. They just pulled the rope on Qin Huai and left. Su Luo didn't want Qin Huai to appear in front of Wan Yangui like this, so he stepped in front of them and said, "Do you know who he is? Li Rusong, the general of Xuanfu, is his sworn brother. For the sake of Lord Li, please be flexible."
"General of Xuanfu? We are in the capital!" An officer who looked like a small leader stretched out his hand and pushed Su Luo aside, "If you try to stop me again, I'll catch you too."
"Then do you know who I am?" Su Luo was furious. When they came out of the courtyard just now, these people pushed and shoved each other. How could they be so majestic now? "My mother is sworn brothers with Huairou County. The current emperor is my sworn brother and the queen mother is my sworn mother. When the imperial edict is written in the future, I will be the princess of the current dynasty. The person you are arresting now is my future husband and future consort. How dare you be so negligent!"
The officials were stunned for a moment. Two of them just laughed to show that they didn't believe it. Su Luo said sternly: "If you don't believe it, go ask Wan Yangui, go ask Liu Chengxuan, go knock on the door of the Forbidden City, and let the emperor tell you if this is true!"
Su Luo's confidence made the officials waver. Someone leaned close to the leader's ear and whispered, "It's better to believe it."
The leader thought about it, and asked someone to untie Qin Huai. He said to Su Luo, "We are just following the routine. He beat Boss Wan pretty badly."
Su Luo's expression relaxed, "Thank you, brothers."
Su Luo followed the officers and took Qin Huai to the front hall. Wan Yangui was sitting in the hall receiving a bandage. Next to him sat a man in the uniform of a police chief. When he saw everyone coming in, he asked, "Did you catch the criminal?"
The officer who had just spoken to Su Luo hurried over to reply. The captain looked at Qin Huai, then at Su Luo, and waved his hand, "Take him back first. Even if he is the Jade Emperor, he cannot break the law."
Wan Yangui sneered at Su Luo and Qin Huai with pride. Qin Huai was about to rush forward again when he saw this. The officials around him hurriedly stopped him. Qin Huai gritted his teeth and asked, "Where is Qing'er?"
Su Luo said to the captain, "Today's incident was caused by Wan Yangui's private detention of a commoner girl. He also provoked us into believing that she had met with misfortune, which is why we couldn't help but take action. The responsibility lies entirely with Wan Yangui."
The captain looked at Wan Yangui and said, "Boss Wan, this is not quite what you said."
Wan Yangui said to the servant beside him with a mocking look on his face: "Go, ask Miss Qin to come out, so that everyone can see whether it is she who has suffered misfortune or my Wan Mansion who has suffered misfortune."
