In the study, Qin Zhonghai's voice sounded: "I'm afraid that the emperor will know what Zhenxihou has done and refuse to spare it." All the things he did in the past, all the stakes, were not small sins. This confession, although the brother-in-law can keep it, but Zhenxi Hou will never have a good result. Although the crime of rebellion has been weakened, is it possible that the crime of forcing rebellion, plundering wealthy households, guarding and stealing from oneself, and concealing the property of the vassal king is light? Not to mention the Marquis of Zhenxi, I am afraid that even the prince of the Marquis of Zhenxi will be difficult to keep, after all, he is suspected of not reporting it. The brother-in-law is not such a ruthless person, so he will naturally have a bit of luck, thinking that if the emperor has not yet known, there may be a way to fool the past, and he can't bear to make the old father and eldest brother suffer. ”

Qin Bai's tone was a little light: "If you are guilty, you will be punished, and whatever you sow, you will reap the result." Since the Marquis of Zhenxi has made a big mistake, how many civilian lives have been buried in his hands? How many rich families have gone bankrupt because of him? How many more years have the war at the southwest border pass dragged on because of his selfish motives? How many more imperial court soldiers have died in the war during this period? Is he not responsible for this incident, one by one? I know that Zhongying is a filial son, but now is not the time to talk about foolishness and filial piety. Don't think that you can really hide it from the emperor, the emperor may not be unaware, but just look at the old minister's hard work for many years, and leave a decent impression for the old minister. If you think that after doing so many wrong things, Zhenxi Hou can still enjoy wealth and leisure in his old age, it is too naïve. I have said that it is up to you how you decide. It's just that Zhongying, you have to think about it, once you make a decision, no matter what the outcome is in the future, don't regret it. ”

Qin Bai was obviously not in a good mood and didn't want to talk about it anymore. Qin Zhonghai called out a little anxiously: "Third Uncle!" Followed by a "plop", Su Zhongying spoke: "Third Uncle, I know that you must be annoyed and disgusted by what my father did after listening to my words. But...... The Son never spoke of the Father, and I never served by the Father's side, so I really didn't know this. If he had known, he would have been discouraged a long time ago. But my brother didn't persuade me less, but my father insisted on going his own way...... I know that his sin is too great, and if the emperor knows about it, he will not be spared. It's just that...... He was my real father after all. I look at him now lying in bed, suffering from an old disease, and my heart is ......."

Speaking of this, Su Zhongying choked up for a moment, and then continued: "Although he is at fault, it is not that he has not made military merits for the imperial court, he has been stationed at the border for decades, he was born and died, his wife, son, and grandson were all left aside, and there is no merit and hard work, right? Do we really want to wipe out all the merits of his deeds because of the mistakes he has committed? I dare not expect him to enjoy prosperity and leisure in his old age, let alone the extravagance that he will regain real power, and I only hope that he will ...... It was enough to keep his old man's reputation and let him recuperate at home quietly. ”

Qin Bai sighed: "Idiot, if your father's merits are enough to offset the sins he has committed, do you think he will be so anxious to urge your husband and wife and father and son to leave Beijing? It doesn't necessarily work to say that he committed a crime and that it was all for the sake of the southwest's military expenses. In this world, it is not only the southwest border army that needs military spending, nor is it just the soldiers of the southwest border army, which is worthy of care and pity. The mistake of the Marquis of Zhenxi was that he took the Southwest Frontier Army too seriously, and he forgot the people, the imperial court, and even the emperor! However, the Southwest Frontier Army did not belong to the Marquis of Zhenxi, he was only appointed as the general of the Southwest Frontier Army for a longer time, and the real master of the Southwest Frontier Army should be the emperor! By doing so, the Marquis of Zhenxi had won the hearts of the army, but what kind of person did he regard the emperor?

Su Zhongying was speechless. This time, Qin Zhonghai persuaded him instead: "The third uncle is reasonable. Brother-in-law, Ling Zun's sin...... Not so easy to elute. Besides, his old man didn't seem to plan to wash it off, but insisted on going against the emperor and the court. Even if you come to us for help, and we think of a way, he may not appreciate it. Otherwise, he would have opened his mouth to us a long time ago, and instead of coming, he would have only told you and your husband to avoid the land. I think the current situation is not good, whether your brother can be saved, is still unknown, but your father is difficult to have a good result. At this time, you should think more about your mother, think about your wife and son. In order to keep the vitality of your Su family, you should consider how to make trade-offs. ”

Speaking of this, Qin Zhonghai lowered his voice: "When necessary, learn from the prince of Shu." Wasn't it precisely because he broke his tail in time to survive that he was able to get the benefits he has now? Not only was he exempted from the punishment of captivity, but he was also able to live a rich and leisurely life in the capital. It can be seen that the emperor is benevolent, as long as you are loyal to the court, the emperor will not easily anger the relatives of sinners. ”

Su Zhongying understood his hint and couldn't help but be surprised. But Qin Zhonghai once again repeated what Fang had just said: "Think about your mother, think about your wife and children! Now is not the time to talk about foolishness and filial piety! If you don't know how to decide, go and ask your brother to see what he says?"

Su Zhongying gritted her teeth, and her expression changed. The brother-in-law's words made his heart shake slightly. It's not that he's greedy for life and afraid of death, but ...... His mother, wife, and son were all innocent, his brother tried to persuade his father many times without success, and his sister-in-law and niece were also pitiful. For the sake of the safety and future of most people, no matter how stubbornly he insists on protecting his father, it seems too blind. Qin Bai and Qin Zhonghai were willing to help him plan to this point, and they had already done their duty, and he really shouldn't ask for more.

Qin Bai watched his expression change and slowed down: "If you want to ask your brother's opinion, go home first." It's best to tell me the answer today. I will enter the palace to-morrow, and if there is anything that your brothers want to present to the royal court, it will be in my hands before tomorrow morning. I only want to tell you one more thing, don't be lucky, don't have any concealment and deception. The emperor's eyes are like torches, you can't fool him. ”

Su Zhongying's voice replied with grief: "Yes, I understand, please rest assured......"

This was the end of the conversation in the study. Qin Hanzhen heard the sound of footsteps walking out of the door, hurriedly took a few steps back, walked to a place four or five meters away from the door of the study, slightly accentuated the footsteps, pretended to have just arrived, and greeted him. Su Zhongying came out and looked up and saw Qin Hanzhen, and was taken aback.

Qin Hanzhen looked like he was fine, saluted him with a smile, and then asked with a puzzled face: "Little uncle, I heard that you are going to leave for Datong with your little aunt tomorrow? Why is it so sudden?"

Su Zhongying was stunned, he was still worried about whether the conversation in the study would be heard by this niece, but after listening to Qin Hanzhen's words, he immediately put this question aside: "Who did you listen to?" When the couple came to the Qin family today, they didn't mention this matter to anyone?

In fact, after knowing the truth, they no longer think that it is necessary for them to go to Datong, so it is important to hurry up and find a way to save themselves.

Qin Hanzhen replied with a smile: "I heard from the second aunt, she seems to have listened to what your girl said, and she is also bored, I am afraid that she has already found the little aunt to ask." ”

Su Zhongying wanted to speak and stopped, hesitated for a while before saying, "Third girl, you go back and help me talk to your little aunt, just say that I have something urgent to go home, and I will come when I go." Let her stay here in peace and not worry about me. After saying that, he lowered his head, crossed Qin Hanzhen, and left in a hurry.

Qin Zhonghai lifted the curtain and went out: "Three girls, when did you come over, did you hear what we said?"

Qin Hanzhen looked back at him and blinked: "Second uncle, what did you say?"

Qin Zhonghai smiled: "It's okay, it's just a few words of chatting." Then he asked, "Why did you come here?"

Qin Hanzhen replied: "I just instructed the girl to serve tea to the eldest aunt and grandmother, the second aunt and the little aunt, and suddenly remembered that you don't know if there is tea and snacks here, so I came over to take a look." ”

Qin Zhonghai smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, we have tea to drink, you don't have to worry about it." As for the dim sum, forget it, it's sweet and greasy, who eats that? Go back and be with your grandmother. If your second aunt says something that shouldn't be said, don't pay attention to her, and don't listen to what she says. I'll take her home in a moment. ”

That sounds a little unkind, doesn't it......

Qin Hanzhen secretly lit a wax for the Yao family in his heart, so he smiled and curtsied to Qin Zhonghai, and asked his grandfather in the house to make sure that he had no other instructions before turning around and leaving.

Qin Zhonghai returned to the house, sat down with Qin Bai again, and said solemnly: "This time, if Zhenxi Hou can be more decisive, maybe the Su family can still keep their reputation, and his descendants will also be able to keep their future." Now it's up to him to be reluctant. ”

Qin Bai said lightly: "He doesn't seem to be a person with such courage, it is better to count on his two sons." ”

Qin Zhonghai smiled dryly: "I don't know much about the temperament of the boss of the Su family, but it seems that he is an understanding person, and he should know how to choose." It's just the brother-in-law of the Su family...... Some are soft-hearted, but also affectionate. If Zhenxihou really can't save his life this time, he doesn't know how sad he will be. ”

Qin Bai looked at him: "Actually, if he leaves the capital tomorrow, it may not be a good thing." ”

Qin Zhonghai was stunned for a moment, and then thought thoughtfully.

When Qin Hanzhen returned to the main house of the main courtyard, Yao and Qin Youyi had a small quarrel, and it seemed that Yao said something that was not very popular, which made the latter dissatisfied.

Qin Hanzhen whispered outside the door and asked the girl under the porch, only to know how the two of them quarreled. It turned out that Xu and Qin Youyi talked about Mrs. Zhenxi Hou with Niu, and incidentally mentioned Mrs. Bian, the wife of Zhenxi Hou, and the eldest daughter Su Da girl born to her, as well as a little turmoil caused by Su Da Girl recently. Su Boxiong and his wife had already made a decision to send their eldest daughter to their father-in-law, Governor Bian, to say goodbye to another marriage, to avoid gossip in Beijing, which even the Qin family had heard. But today, for some reason, Qin Youyi suddenly changed her words, saying that Miss Su still has to say that it is good to be close to the capital or around the capital, and it must be fast, and she must take advantage of the fact that her scandal has not spread outside the capital, and when the Ninghua Wang brothers have lost power, she should marry out quickly, so as not to have a difficult marriage in the future - in fact, Qin Youyi just felt that Miss Su was already in the middle of the line, and if she could marry as soon as possible, maybe she could avoid a catastrophe, so she would change her mind.

However, the Yao family didn't know the sister-in-law's distress, and suddenly became a little displeased, and said something sarcastic, which also annoyed Qin Youyi. Although the sister-in-law and sister-in-law did not quarrel in front of the two elders, they were angry in and out of their words, and even those who were as dull as Niu noticed it.
