Qin Bai was surprised, and hurriedly asked Huang Jincheng: "What's going on?"

Huang Jincheng said with a smile: "This matter is a long story. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoNow that the wind and snow are getting heavier, it's hard to talk on the road, so let's talk about it when we go back. ”

Although Qin Bai was anxious, he also knew that the official road was not the place to talk, so he had to suppress his curiosity and take the group back to the city first.

They originally planned to go back to Qinzhuang, and the Niu family was still thinking about their grandson Brother Qian. It's just that now the wind and snow are so big, taking the official road and then changing the country dirt road to Qinzhuang is slightly farther than going directly to Jinling City. Qin Bai was worried about looking for Huang Jincheng to ask about things, but the other party wanted to take his wife and sister back to the official residence in the city, so he simply took a large group of people back to the house of Confucius Temple to settle down, and when the snow stopped, he went back to Qinzhuang to see his grandson.

When Qin Hanzhen and the others arrived at the house of Confucius Temple, it was already an hour later. The wind and snow are getting worse and worse, and the road is slippery, so whether you are riding a horse or a car, you have to deal with it with trepidation. When they were finally able to dismount in front of their house and set foot on the field, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Knowing that they would be unlucky enough to encounter such a snowstorm, they hurried a day or two early. However, fortunately, it is not too late to pick the day, otherwise it will be worse if you encounter this snowstorm in the middle of the road, and you can't go to the village or the store behind?

Qin Hanzhen helped his grandmother Niu into the door, and the servants who stayed in the house had already received the letter and prepared all the charcoal and hot water. Everyone hurriedly ate some hot tea to warm their bodies, and sat down to rest. Some of the people were packing up the carriages and horses, some were carrying luggage, and some were greeting the people who followed them out to eat ginger soup and snacks, and they were busy. Fortunately, Mama Wei and Zhou Xiangnian took the initiative to command. They are all capable people and have things in order. It's just that the two of them themselves are also hard, and the Niu family thanked them again and again, allowing them to rest for three days from tomorrow, which can be regarded as a reward for them.

Qin Hanzhen ate tea and snacks, and felt that his body was warmer, so he said to Zhao Mo: "Cousin Zhao is just riding a horse and walking outside, his cloak is full of snow, and the boots on his feet don't know if they are wet by the snow, hurry back to your yard to take a hot shower and change into dry clothes." In a little more than an hour, it will be time to eat. Come back then. ”

Zhao Mo looked at the embroidered shoes on her feet with some unease. The lambskin boots he wore were not afraid of snow, but because Qin Hanzhen was in a carriage, he didn't wear waterproof shoes, so he got off the car at the door and entered the door, but he was afraid that he would be soaked in snow even more than him. The girl's family is cold to her feet, and it is more important than a man like him. But there are some things that Qin Han is really easy to say, but he is not too frivolous, so he can only use Niu's as an excuse: "Uncle and grandmother are not wearing leather boots, although the road into the door has been cleaned, but the wind and snow are so big, there will still be a little snow, if the shoes are soaked, it is better to quickly replace the shoes." On a cold day, it may not be convenient to take a bath, soak your feet in hot water, and you can also go to the cold. The cousin told the girls to take care of their aunt and grandmother, and the cousin herself should be careful not to get the cold. ”

Qin Han sincerely said that a boy like Zhao Mo was so careful, and it was really rare to know that he cared about the old man's body, so he agreed with a smile and drove him back to the hospital: "Cousin Zhao knows how to take care of my grandmother, and he should know to take care of himself." ”

Zhao Mo didn't know what Qin Hanzhen had misunderstood about herself, but when she understood the meaning of her words, she left with peace of mind. When he took a hot shower and changed into dry and warm clothes, shoes and socks and returned to the main house, he found that Qin Hanzhen had never bathed at all, but just changed the pleated skirt that made the skirt wet with snow, and the shoes were replaced with home-style warm shoes, so he put down his snack slightly, and suddenly saw that her hairstyle had not changed, and even the comb on her hair was still the same as before, but an hour ago, her hair was stained with snow particles, and it was clear that it had already penetrated into her hair. On the contrary, the Niu family was taken care of extremely well from head to toe, and it was obvious that Qin Hanzhen had spent all his time on his grandmother.

Zhao Mo was a little angry and worried, feeling that Qin Hanzhen didn't know how to take care of himself, why didn't he understand his hard work?

Qin Hanzhen was quite happy to see Zhao Mo come back, but when he saw him with a stiff face, as if he was a little annoyed, he couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong with Cousin Zhao?" But what did the people below do not do well and make you angry?"

Zhao Mo glanced at her, and wanted to scold her a few words, but after all, he was still reluctant, so he could only ask her with a straight face: "I'm fine." But my cousin's hair seems to be wet with snow particles, so why don't you dry it with a cloth first?"

Qin Hanzhen smiled: "I'm fine." I've been sitting by the fire, and my hair is a little wet, and it's long since it dried. I'm pretty warm all over now. Fang Cai Qingxing also brought me a bowl of ginger soup to drink, which was so thick and spicy that I choked. I feel like I'm going to smoke!"

Zhao Mo opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only respond dryly, paused, and then added: "Cousin yourself should also be careful, don't be infected with the wind cold." ”

Qin Hanzhen responded with a smile, not knowing what Zhao Mo was struggling with before. When Niu urged her to go back to her own house to rest, she walked away with a smile, and did not forget to remind her grandmother that she would wait until the snow stopped, and then send someone to Qinzhuang to see Brother Qian.

In such weather, even if the wind and snow stop, the road will not be easy to walk, and the temperature outside is even lower. For the sake of safety, it is best not to rush to take Brother Qian to the city, and do not run back to Qinzhuang in the cold regardless of your age and body. Brother Qian has someone to take care of in Qinzhuang, and when his grandmother is not around, no one will treat him badly, and it is easy to catch a cold when he goes out. The old lady Niu goes out, and the risk is greater, so let's be patient first.

Niu also knew that what his granddaughter said was right, so he reluctantly agreed.

Not to mention how the Niu family settled with Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo, the two children, after Qin Bai entered the house, he was first urged by the people around him, went to the snow-stained cloak, changed into dry and warm little leather boots, drank tea after entering the study, roasted the fire, and someone sent a snack to cushion the stomach. Qin Bai saw that Huang Jincheng had warmed up, and he also got the news that his relatives had reported back, and knew that they had sent his wife and sister Huang Qingfang back to the official residence safely, so he must have been able to settle down and have a long talk, so he asked about his promotion.

Huang Jincheng smiled and said to him: "This matter is a long story, and it is also a coincidence." When Master Hou traveled before, I told you that I had already collected the evidence of the commander's crimes, and I wanted to take him down before the year. Do you remember Master Hou?"

Qin Bai nodded. Of course he remembers. Although the commander was Huang Jincheng's boss, he had also contributed to the search for the assassins of the King of Shu, but not out of public interest, but because the other party had accidentally provoked his son. Huang Jincheng knew that he was narrow-minded and insatiable, not only greedy for military resources, but also secretly suppressed Huang Jincheng and his commander Tongzhi and others, which would harm others and himself. If you don't get rid of him, no one wants to have a good life in this Jinling guard. Huang Jincheng had already wanted to eradicate him, and he had already informed Qin Bai. In this way, after Qin Bai returns to Beijing next year, he will inform the emperor of the facts, so as not to suspect Huang Jincheng's intentions.

Huang Jincheng has been busy with this matter for the past three months. If he hadn't been involved in this matter, he wouldn't have let Zhang Gongzi have a chance to escape because of a momentary negligence. Fortunately, after Zhang Gongzi fled to Suzhou, he took the initiative to find Huang Qingfang again, asked the Qin family and Zhao Mo to intercept him, and dealt a hard blow. Zhao Mo asked him to take care of him again, and while looking for him to seek medical advice, he secretly sent him back to Jinling and placed him under house arrest in Huaiqingqiao's house. It was very close to the camp where Huang Jincheng was stationed, and when he was free, he could come and ask questions.

Huang Jincheng was busy, and he didn't bother to deal with a patient who had already confessed, so he only sent two personal soldiers and a small team of soldiers to guard it, surrounding the entire small mansion. Zhang Gongzi wanted to escape again, but it was as difficult as climbing to the sky. Huang Jincheng also found an opportunity to obtain Zhang Gongzi's handwritten letter, and ordered someone to send it back to the capital quickly, so as to threaten the Zhang family to act according to his instructions. Thanks to the blessing of the Qin family and Zhao Mo, his sister successfully got rid of Zhang Gongzi's dog skin plaster. If the Zhang family can hinder their son's safety, honestly cooperate with Huang Jincheng, and in turn help the emperor and the crown prince deal with the Wang family, and make meritorious contributions to the crime, then they can avoid the disaster of killing.

Although Huang Jincheng is disgusted with the treachery and brazenness of the Zhang family, the ancestors of the Zhang family and the old grandfather of the Huang family are friends. If you can save the lives of the Zhang family, it is also a good thing. This is all thanks to the help of the Qin family and Zhao Mo, and Huang Jincheng is even more grateful in his heart.

His temperament has always been to insist on accomplishing what he is sure of. When he suspected Zhao Mo, he looked at Zhao Mo everywhere unpleasantly. Now that he is grateful to Qin Bai and Zhao Mo, he is bent on reciprocating.

After his efforts, the commander has been convicted because of the conclusive evidence of the crime, and the family has been imprisoned. The governor is in charge of the military and civil affairs of a province, and with his help, the commander has been crucified, and it is impossible to turn over. Now the song has been sent to Beijing, but it is almost late, and when there is an echo, I am afraid that it will be after the beginning of spring. With the rank of commander, he must be escorted back to Beijing to stand trial. But that's all for later. Now Huang Jincheng has discussed with the governor that if the commander is vacant, he can only order the commander to act as the chief envoy first. If all goes well, he'll be promoted again next year. The guard house was stable, but there was nothing to worry about.

Coincidentally, during the trial of the case of the commander envoy, the magistrate of Jinling Mansion was found to be involved. This magistrate is a son of a family in Beijing who is guaranteed by the prefect of Jinling, and the degree of involvement in the case is not deep, but the matter has spread, if he wants to stay in this position in peace and stability until he is promoted at the end of his term, I am afraid it will be impossible. The prefect of Jinling is now stubbornly saving him, but Huang Jincheng intends to fight for Wu Shaoying's position as a seven-grade promoter, and he has revealed the truth in a secret letter sent to the capital. Even if this magistrate will not be formally convicted, his family will quickly transfer him out of the event and wait for the turmoil to subside before seeking a future. Anyway, the position of the magistrate of Jinling Mansion will definitely be vacant next year.

Although Wu Shaoying has not yet taken office, he is a second-class jinshi, and it is only because he is late to supplement the official that he has relegated to the eight-rank mansion experience. He has sufficient qualifications, and he is a local subordinate official, as long as he has outstanding performance in the past office, it is logical for him to fill in the vacancy of the official position. As for the prefect of Jinling, he is now a frightened bird, and he is much more obedient, and it is not a trouble.

Qin Bai knew what was going on, and he also felt that it was a surprise. If Wu Shaoying can really fill the position of promoter, it will naturally be more beneficial to his future future.

It's just that now it's about to enter the New Year, can he arrive in Jinling to take office before the year?
