Chapter 138 Wang Qin Is Released

"Master, Master!"

A servant rushed into the study room and said with surprise: "The young master is back, the young master is back!"

Wang Shiquan, who was sitting at the table with a frown on his face, stood up in surprise and said ecstatically: "Back?"

"Where? Where is Qin'er?!"

"Take me there!"

Wang Shiquan stood up and hurriedly followed the servant out of the room and came to the inner courtyard.

Outside the door of the room, many servants and maids had been waiting for a long time.

"Sir!"

Zheng Chang had also heard the news of the young master's return. Seeing Wang Shiquan appear, he hurried forward to greet him.

"Where is Qin'er?"

"Sir, calm down first, don't worry, the young master is a lucky person, nothing serious!"

Zheng Chang said: "The young master was a little frightened, his body was a little weak, and he fainted. The doctor is in the young master's room..."

After hearing that Wang Qin was not seriously injured, Wang Shiquan breathed a sigh of relief, and his originally excited emotions gradually calmed down.

As if thinking of something, his eyes narrowed: "What happened? How did Qin'er come back?"

"Did they catch him?"

Zheng Chang hesitated and said: "Sir, the young master was found in... a dilapidated house on the outskirts of the city."

"When our people found the young master, there was only the unconscious young master in the house, and no one else..."

Wang Shiquan's pupils shrank suddenly.

No one else was found?

Why?

Those people caught Qin'er and suddenly let Qin'er go?

What's the purpose?

Is there a bigger conspiracy? !

Thinking of this, Wang Shiquan's face became more solemn. There must be something wrong when things are abnormal.

Zheng Chang saw Wang Shiquan's gloomy face and comforted him: "Sir, although I don't know what their purpose is, since the young master is back, at least this is a good thing."

Wang Shiquan's face eased a little, and Qin'er was safe, so he was relieved.

Just then, the door of the room opened and two doctors walked out of the room.

"Doctor, how is my son?" Wang Shiquan stepped forward and asked.

The two doctors bowed to Wang Shiquan: "Don't worry, Lord Governor, the prince is fine, but he is a little weak due to malnutrition these days, and he just needs to rest for a while. I will prescribe some medicine for the prince later, and he will be fine soon!"

Wang Shiquan frowned: "Have you checked carefully? Are you sure Qin'er is fine?"

He was a little suspicious whether he was drugged or something.

"Don't worry, sir, I have been practicing medicine for decades and have never made a mistake." The doctor said confidently.

Zheng Chang on the side also reminded: "Sir, these two doctors are the best doctors in our Xunyang City, and their medical skills are extremely high..."

Wang Shiquan's expression eased a little: "Come on, send the two doctors back to get the medicine."

"Yes."

After the doctor left, Wang Shiquan couldn't wait to walk into the room.

In the room, on the bed

Wang Shiquan's face was slightly gloomy. When he saw Wang Qin lying on the bed, who was extremely skinny and haggard, the anger that had just been suppressed surged again.

It's only been a few days, and he was tortured into this state?

It's horrible!

Who did it? !

...

When Wang Qin opened his eyes, he saw a familiar environment.

Is this... his room?

At this moment, he felt like he was still dreaming.

Until he saw the familiar faces in the room, his trance gradually recovered.

No, not a dream!

Back, back? !

His thoughts gradually recovered, and he remembered that he was thrown out of the dark basement by someone. He thought the other party was going to kill him, but he didn't wait for a long time, but waited for the people from the prefectural governor's mansion...

His last memory before he fell into a coma was that the people from the prefectural governor's mansion broke into the house.

So, he was really saved?

At this moment, Wang Qin was excited and burst into tears.

This former second-generation rich man in Xunyang City, a dandy, now collapsed on the bed, with a look of fear on his face, as if he had survived a catastrophe.

The haze of these days was deeply imprinted in his mind.

Until the hurried footsteps came from outside the door, Wang Qin looked up and saw a familiar and serious face.

In the past, every time he saw this face, he was extremely disgusted, even a little scared, but now it was so kind.

"Dad..."

Wang Shiquan looked at Wang Qin who had woken up on the bed, and the words of blame that were originally on his lips could not be said.

He sighed deeply and said in a deep voice: "How do you feel?"

Wang Qin shook his head: "No, nothing..."

Wang Shiquan breathed a sigh of relief, hesitated to speak, and finally did not ask anything: "You should have a good rest first, and other things will be discussed later."

"..."

"Your Highness, Wang Qin is back."

Lin Qingqing appeared in the courtyard, lowered her head and said: "He has been rescued by the people in the prefectural government and just woke up not long ago."

She was reporting the news she had found out to Lin Jiangnian.

Lin Jiangnian said in surprise: "That's not right!"

Lin Qingqing was puzzled: "What's wrong."

"Why did she let Wang Qin go?"

Lin Jiangnian was a little confused and thought about it.

Lin Qingqing became more and more confused: "Who?"

Then he realized something and looked surprised: "Your Highness, do you know who kidnapped Wang Qin?!"

Lin Jiangnian did not explain, and he was not quite sure about the purpose of Zhiyuan's move.

At this point, Lin Jiangnian could almost conclude that the person who kidnapped Wang Qin was Zhiyuan. Her purpose of kidnapping Wang Qin was not difficult to guess, but what I didn't expect was why she suddenly let Wang Qin go.

Is this person useless?

This doesn’t seem right!

After all, Wang Qin was Wang Shiquan's only son. If he could be in his hands, it would be a great threat to Wang Shiquan, and he would not dare to act rashly.

A reasonable explanation for Zhiyuan's move is that she already had a plan in mind?

Or is it because she disdains using such despicable means?

Lin Jiangnian gradually withdrew his gaze and glanced at Lin Qingqing beside him: "By the way, I asked you to check on the Jiang family. How is it?"

Lin Qingqing nodded and turned back to the room. Not long after, he took out a file from the room and handed it to Lin Jiangnian.

"Your Highness, this is what you ordered your subordinates to go to the government office to check on some of the deeds of the former Xunyang Governor..."

Lin Jiangnian scanned the file at random, "What's the result?"

"As your Highness guessed, there is indeed a problem with the file!"

Lin Qingqing frowned and said: "More than ten years ago, the Jiang family was found guilty of treason and collaborating with the enemy. What is written in the file is that Jiang Cheng, as the prefect of Xunyang, used his position to secretly communicate and betray important military affairs. But it was After careful investigation, I was unable to find any definite evidence proving that the Jiang family collaborated with the enemy..."

"There is no definite evidence, but the huge Jiang family can be charged with rebellion. This is indeed a bit unbelievable. Maybe there are some things that my subordinates have not discovered..."

Lin Jiangnian's eyes were indifferent. Even if there was no evidence for some things, the answer was still obvious.

The governor of Xunyang, and then the governor of Yanzhou, are no different from the officials of the border areas. As the governor of Xunyang, Jiang Cheng has already achieved success and a happy family. Unless he has the intention to rebel and become the emperor, or he cannot survive, he will not be able to commit treason under any circumstances.

Very simple reason!

But not necessarily anyone believes it.

Maybe no one cares.

No one cared at all how many bowls of noodles Jiang Cheng had eaten!

"My subordinates have also secretly inquired about some people and old officials in Xunyang County who had experienced this incident..."

"The Jiang family had a good reputation in Xunyang County back then. Governor Jiang was diligent and caring for the people, and Mrs. Jiang was also caring and considerate of the people. So much so that when the Jiang family was exterminated, many people complained..."

"In addition, my subordinates wanted to find out the truth about that year, but found that things were not simple..."

Lin Qingqing looked slightly solemn as if she had thought of something.

Lin Jiangnian nodded calmly: "It's normal. The truth about what happened back then has been erased long ago... This Xunyang County is not simple."

"Then Your Highness..."

Lin Qingqing thought of something and stopped talking.

Lin Jiangnian saw her reaction: "You want to ask if I want to intervene?"

Lin Qingqing was silent and nodded.

"Don't worry, I don't have the ability yet!"

Lin Jiangnian laughed a few times in a self-deprecating way, his eyes indifferent.

There are many aristocratic families in Xunyang County, and their forces are complicated. These forces have mutual interests and weave into a large network that is unbreakable.

How was the Jiang family wiped out back then?

Lin Jiangnian didn't know clearly, but he guessed some reasons. The huge Jiang family disappeared overnight, and it was not something that just one person could do. The forces and interests involved are difficult to explain.

No matter how powerful Lin Jiangnian is, he can't change all of this.

unless……

Hearing this, Lin Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief.

That's fine.

She almost thought His Highness was going to take action against the aristocratic families in Xunyang County!

From the moment she left Linjiang City, Lin Jiangnian began to order her to secretly investigate all forces related to Xunyang County. The more she investigated, the more frightened she became.

Lin Qingqing also became increasingly uneasy.

Xunyang County is now very powerful. If His Highness really wants to interfere, I am afraid he will not get much benefit.

In Linzhou, His Royal Highness may be able to dominate the sky with one hand, but this is Yanzhou. Even if King Lin is extremely powerful, he cannot casually attack these family forces in Yanzhou without sufficient evidence and reasons.

"My prince is not interested in other aristocratic families and is too lazy to pay attention to them."

Lin Jiang young shook his head lightly, "But this Wang family may be an accident."

There were many factors behind the Jiang family's destruction, but the most important leading factor was the one that led to it all happening.

It's the Wang family!

In other words, the Jiang family's destruction was most likely controlled by the Wang family secretly and behind the scenes.

So……

The problem is much simpler!

…

Wang Qin returned to the prefect's mansion safely, and many people breathed a sigh of relief. But other than that, some people are still not happy.

For example, the Xunyang Prefect!

Wang Shiquan always felt that things were not that simple. The person behind it never showed up, and the things in Xunyang City still did not come to an end.

The news that Wang Qin returned to the prefect's mansion was spread out at some point. The people in the city who were still criticizing Wang Qin with words and writings and demanding severe punishment for the criminals were suddenly filled with indignation and demanded that Wang Qin be captured and brought to justice and investigated strictly!

If the governor's son commits a crime, he will be guilty of the same crime as the common people!

The government is under great pressure, and even if they try their best to quell people's anger, it still doesn't help.

Prefect's Mansion.

"Qin'er, what's going on?"

In the room, Wang Qin, who had been back to the prefect's mansion for two days, could see that his health had improved a lot.

Wang Shiquan appeared in the room with a calm expression.

Wang Qin's eyes were a little flustered: "I, I don't know either..."

"Huh, I don't know?!"

After confirming that Wang Qin was fine, Wang Shiquan breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, the anger he had suppressed for many days also surged up.

"Human trafficking, occupying people's fields, and even selling illegal salt... How do you explain these things?!"

Hearing this, Wang Qin's face turned pale and his eyes were panicked: "Dad, dad, that's not me, I..."

"It's already this time, do you still want to lie to me?" Wang Shiquan shouted coldly.

Wang Qin was so frightened that he trembled all over and fell to his knees with a plop: "Dad, Dad, I was wrong..."

"I, what I really don't want to...is that it was my second uncle who asked me to do this."

"Dad, I won't dare to do it next time..."

Wang Shiquan's face was extremely ugly. How could he not be angry when his own son did such a thing.

"Do you know that the person is going to be beheaded?" Wang Shiquan asked coldly.

Wang Qin's face turned pale and he lowered his head: "I, I..."

He couldn't say a word, he could only beg for mercy.

Seeing him like this, Wang Shiquan fell silent, as if remembering Wang Changjin's words that day, he didn't speak for a while. After a long time, he said expressionlessly: "Get up."

Only then did Wang Qin get up tremblingly, his face still looking pitiful.

"Besides these, what else have you done?"

"No, no more..."

"Are you really gone?" Wang Shiquan asked coldly.

"No, no..."

Wang Qin lowered his head, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

Wang Shiquan was silent again.

After a long time, he said in a cold voice: "From now on, you are confined at home and are not allowed to go out without my permission. Also, you are not allowed to do these things with your second uncle again, do you understand?"

Wang Qin lowered his head and nodded honestly.

Wang Shiquan's expression softened slightly, and then he brought up another matter: "Also, where have you been these days? What is the origin of the person who kidnapped you?!"

When Wang Qin mentioned this, his face turned pale, as if he recalled some painful memories: "Yes, it's a woman..."

"A woman?"

Wang Shiquan's pupils shrank: "What woman?"

"No, I don't know..."

Wang Qin's voice was trembling: "She, she kidnapped me... and imprisoned me without food..."

Wang Qin described the painful experience during this period, completely unaware of Wang Shiquan's increasingly ugly expression.

"A woman?!"

Wang Shiquan stared at Wang Qin with gloomy eyes: "How old is she?!"

Wang Qin thought carefully: "He looks about the same age as me..."

Wang Shiquan's breathing was low and rapid: "It's her!"

About the same size as Qin'er...

The little girl from the Jiang family who escaped back then is now about the same age as Qin'er!

"It's indeed her!"

"Who?" Wang Qin was confused.

But Wang Shiquan turned around and left in a hurry with a sullen face.

Wang Qin stood in the room and breathed a deep sigh of relief.

Then, his eyes seemed a little guilty and a little frightened. After a while, it became gloomy and ferocious.

At this moment, a faint voice came from the window.

"Are you Wang Qin?"

Wang Qin trembled all over as if he had a guilty conscience. He turned his head and saw a strange man about his age appearing outside the window, looking at him playfully.

"Who are you?!"

"..."
