Qin Zhonghai entered the Qingfeng Pavilion and was also very happy to see Qin Ping coming back, and said: "The fourth brother heard the good news that the third uncle was knighted, right? I heard that the fourth brother was not in the palace and went out on an errand, and I don't know when I will come back. I've been worried, and it's hard to find someone to ask where the fourth brother has gone. When I entered the palace this morning, I was still thinking about finding someone to ask, see if you have returned to the palace, fourth brother. I didn't expect others to tell me that the fourth brother had already taken leave and returned home. ”

Qin Ping replied with a smile: "Thank you, second brother, for thinking about it, I heard the news as soon as I returned to the palace, and I was very happy in my heart." This is a great joy for our Qin family. ”

"Isn't it??There is a double marquis, who in the capital is more beautiful than our Qin family?" Qin Zhonghai was in a very good mood and looked radiant.

Seeing this, Qin Bai's heart moved slightly, and he asked him, "Zhonghai, have you just met the emperor?"

Qin Zhonghai could barely hide the joy on his face: "Yes." The nephew originally just entered the palace to send his father to the guilty fold, and he never thought that the emperor would summon him in person, but the emperor actually saw his nephew, and he talked to his nephew for a while, and there were many encouraging words. The nephew never thought about it, it turned out that the emperor also had expectations for the nephew. ”

He can't be blamed for making such a fuss. The Chengenhou Mansion said that it was very holy, but in fact it was just a false shelf. Qin Song, the Marquis of Cheng'en, has participated in the banquets of the large and small palaces for many years, and he is indispensable at the banquets of the princes and nobles, and the Xu family, Aunt Fu, and Aunt Zhang always have the opportunity to enter the palace several times a year to give the empress dowager and concubines the opportunity to ask for peace, but in addition, the emperor rarely summons Qin Song's sons and daughters alone, and does not care much about their affairs, except for Qin Zhonghai and Qin Shutao successively examined the Chinese martial arts people, issued an order to reward official positions, and at the same time blocked their road to the examination, Qin Zhonghai never received a holy decree about himself. Now the Emperor not only summoned him, but also changed his attitude towards him, and appeared kind and cordial, and asked him about his duties with concern, as if he were his closest nephew, so how could he not be excited?

Qin Zhonghai once again deeply realized in his heart that his father Qin Song was the obstacle to the bright future of the Qin family, and if he was restrained, the emperor would look at the rest of the Qin family pleasing to the eyes, and the third uncle Qin Bai was the biggest backer of the Qin family, and as soon as he returned to the Qin family in the capital, the Qin family immediately had a real holy family.

Qin Zhonghai thought so, so he asked Qin Bai very earnestly: "Third uncle, the emperor asked his nephew how he is doing in his current position? Has he accumulated enough experience? Can he take charge on his own? What do you think...... What does your majesty mean by this?"

Qin Bai pondered for a moment and asked him, "Then how did you answer the emperor?"

How else can Qin Zhonghai answer? He has been in his current position for nearly ten years, and he is the same for good and bad, and if he can't be promoted, no one will demote him. If it weren't for his mother Xu's repeated warnings and encouragement, I'm afraid he would have been discouraged. Now that he finally sees that the emperor seems to be interested in moving his seat for him, he naturally wants to say good things. In fact, he didn't lie either. Over the years, although his future has stagnated, he has always been quite serious in his work, and the big merit is not counted, and there are still a lot of small credits, but there are no big mistakes, and there are not many small mistakes. If it were someone else, this result would have been enough for him to be promoted to two levels. However, in order to leave a good impression of humility on the emperor, after he answered, he added: "The minister still has many deficiencies, and he needs to study more carefully." ”

The emperor didn't say much at the time, but after Qin Zhonghai left the palace, he began to get entangled. Is the emperor satisfied or dissatisfied with his answer? Will he feel that he has been doing it for nearly ten years, and there are still many things he has not learned, and he is too incompetent? Will he feel that he is not outstanding enough, and when he makes mistakes, he has never made great contributions?

Qin Zhonghai was so entangled all the way, and now that he was in front of the third uncle Qin Bai, he couldn't help but ask. He hadn't thought about it so much before, but now that the road ahead was beginning to become clearer, he was suffering from gains and losses.

Qin Bai just smiled and said, "It's okay, the emperor has never been angry, it can be seen that he is still satisfied with your answer." It's just that your official position is small, even if the emperor wants to promote you, you don't need to open the golden mouth, you just need to tell your boss. You don't have to think too much about it, keep working on your mind. When you have the opportunity, the emperor will naturally not forget you. ”

Qin Zhonghai immediately calmed down. With the words of his third uncle, he no longer felt impatient.

Qin Ping thought of the experience in the morning from his father's words, so he asked Qin Zhonghai: "Second brother, I heard from my colleagues that you entered the palace early this morning and had a secret conversation with the emperor in the upper study, but I don't know what you said, and the emperor seems to be angry." On the way home, I was worried about whether you would be okay. ”

Qin Zhonghai's heart warmed, and he said with a smile: "Fourth brother, don't worry about me, the emperor is indeed angry, but he didn't come at me." He turned to Qin Bai, "What happened in the mansion yesterday, my nephew has already heard what Jian Er said, and he is also very annoyed in his heart. The nephew's daughter-in-law took down Wang Cao and the little maid Moguang, and the nephew asked for someone to come over and detain them separately. When he entered the palace in the morning, his nephew had the opportunity to play the right game alone, so he told the emperor about it. The emperor was very angry, and specially sent the imperial guards to come back with his nephew, to the place where the two were held, and took them away. The nephew sent the guards away before entering the house. ”

I see.

Qin Hanzhen secretly exchanged glances with Zhao Mo, and his mood became very good.

With the emperor intervening to deal with it, this matter will be easy to handle. Zhao Mo's situation in the future will surely be greatly improved.

Qin Zhonghai said to Qin Bai and Qin Ping again: "It's also fortunate that the Wang family did this unrighteous thing, so that our family found out, and I immediately reported it to the palace, otherwise, I don't know what the Wang family will do." The third uncle didn't know that his nephew had gone to interrogate Wang Cao in the morning, and it turned out that he had received the order from Master Wang, so he had been hiding in the house behind the mansion and waiting for the opportunity to harm people, but because he was in a hurry, he really couldn't wait, so he forced Moguang to do it in a hurry, and the idea of sending the poisonous tea into the Qingfeng Pavilion and letting the kid from Guanglu drink it! As for whether other people in the courtyard would also drink tea, he didn't care. This clearly means that he did not take the lives of the third uncle, third aunt, and nephews and nieces into account! He really me off! This is also called a relative? In the future, our Qin family will never have any more dealings with their royal family! Our Qin family cannot afford such vicious relatives!"

In fact, Qin Zhonghai said this more to express his attitude to the father and son of the third room, rather than to be really angry. It was precisely because he had interrogated Wang Cao that he clearly knew that there was some misunderstanding in this matter.

Master Wang sent Wang Cao to assassinate Zhao Mo, because he wanted to be unaware. Of course, it's good to be able to make an accident, but if not, it can't leave any clues, which makes people suspicious of the Wang family. For this reason, Master Wang promised Wang Cao a generous reward, in addition to thousands of taels of silver, and promised to send him to Jiangnan to hide for two years, the external reason was to send him to Jiangnan to do business. Therefore, in addition to the rich remuneration, Master Wang gave him another sum of silver as the capital of business. Of course, this money is real, and the business is also real, but there is no regulation for earning more and earning less.

After Wang Cao received the order, he took two sums of money, first left five hundred taels for the family, as the silver of the family, and then said goodbye to his family, and took one of the henchmen sent to him by the lord Wang to Tongzhou, pretending to have set off. It's just that Wang Cao thinks that he just has to deal with a teenage child, he is enough for one person, and there are other helpers in the Chengenhou Mansion who are related to the Wang family, so there is no need to bring helpers, and he can act less restrictively. So he asked the henchman to stay in Tongzhou with the principal of the business to buy some local products from the capital and the north, and then wait for him at the dock. But he returned to the capital alone and secretly hid in the back streets of the Hou Mansion to prepare to kill people. When his side was finished, he went directly to the dock to meet the other party, and the two went south together. In this way, when they arrive in Jiangnan, they will sell the local products they have brought with them, and they will be able to make a lot of money by changing hands, and they will have more money to squander. And even if others in the capital are suspicious of the Wang family, they will think that he went to Tongzhou early and will not suspect him.

Wang Cao made such a wishful thinking, and after saying goodbye to his family, he acted according to the plan. He sent Mo Guang to Chengenhou's mansion to inquire about the news, and knew that Zhao Mo had been living in the Qingfeng Pavilion with the Qin family's third room, living in a simple house, and almost didn't leave the courtyard except for a recent outing. He was thinking about how to get close to the target, when the news of Qin Bai Dejue came, which greatly destroyed his original plan. Qin Bai entered the palace early the next morning to thank him, which made him even more unable to sit still.

He ventured back to Wang's house, and after returning to the back street of the Hou Mansion, he immediately asked Moguang to do it. This is not a suspicion, he must get rid of Zhao Mo as soon as possible. Because once the emperor knew about Zhao Mo, even if he might not pay attention to the fate of a small clan boy, he would be dissatisfied with the Wang family's intention to hurt Zhao Mo. Lord Wang didn't dare to take risks, in case the emperor was dissatisfied with the Wang family, even if he looked at the second master Wang and didn't punish the Wang family heavily, Zhao Shuo's position as the heir of the emperor who did not yet have a quasi-letter was very likely to be saved.

The Wang family really can't find a suitable concubine to marry the clan again. If Zhao Shuo misses this opportunity, Master Wang doesn't know if he can see the day when Wang Jiaquan will fall into the opposition.

Master Wang doesn't ask about the passage, as long as the result. So Wang Cao was anxious for quick success, so he found the highly poisonous thing and ordered Moguang to attack the people in the Qingfeng Pavilion. Even if he implicates others, he doesn't care. In his eyes, all he thought about was the thousands of taels of silver, and the beautiful life in Jiangnan that was waiting for him to enjoy.

However, even if he knew that the poisoning scheme was not directly made by Master Wang, but Wang Cao's own initiative, Qin Zhonghai's evil feelings towards Master Wang did not disappear at all. Wang Cao is just a tool, who is the culprit, he knows very well in his heart.

After listening to Qin Zhonghai's words, Qin Bai was quite calm, but Qin Ping and Zhao Mo couldn't help but secretly wipe a cold sweat.

Qin Ping gritted his teeth: "This matter is not over! Even if the emperor already knows, I have to ask Zhao Shuo." How did he leak the news!" directly put the responsibility for the leakage of the news on Zhao Shuo's head.

Zhao Mo asked Qin Zhonghai: "So, then Wang Cao still has an accomplice?"

Qin Zhonghai said with a smile: "The emperor has already ordered someone to arrest him, and it won't be long before news comes." Rest assured. ”

Zhao Mo smiled: "I don't have anything to worry about, I just feel strange." Does the eldest lord of the king trust his clansmen so much? Will Wang Cao still leave a piece of poison and prepare a mouth to extinguish the ink light, and the eldest lord will really let him take the money and go to the south of the Yangtze River to spend all his time drinking? If he sends someone to kill Wang Cao on the way south, won't he save money and get rid of future troubles? After that, he only needs to make up a road to meet robbers or die of illness, and he will be able to prevaricate. After all...... Wang Cao faked his whereabouts, and his family would not suspect the head of the family. ”

Qin Zhonghai was taken aback. (To be continued.) )
