Chapter 191: Father's Order

The chief killed himself by hanging a beam in the house with his belt. Because of his sudden death, his family wanted to ask the Lord to give them an explanation. But Su Boxiong, the son of the Hou of Zhenxi, took out the blood letter left by Chang Sui before his death, and appeased his family, and honestly did not dare to complain again.

According to the content of the blood book of Chang Sui, he frankly admitted that he was ordered by Zhenxihou to go out to inquire about the news, and inquired that some people in the southwest army betrayed Zhenxihou and did great rebellion in the name of Zhenxihou. He was angry at the time and reported the situation to Zhenxi Hou, but ignored the latter's physical condition, causing the other party to suffer a stroke in anger. The henchman knows that he is guilty, and he has no face to face his master, so he can only atone for his sins with his life.

Changsui's family didn't know what he was doing recently under the orders of the Marquis of Zhenxi, only that he had been mysteriously secretive recently, going out early and returning late every day, and the family asked, he refused to say a word, and once he was forced by his wife to be anxious, he reluctantly revealed that he was going to do an important errand for the Hou Ye, and he couldn't reveal it to anyone. Now it is a pair of the content in his blood book before his death, which is quite right. Although this Chang Sui actually did not make any big mistakes, the incident he reported indirectly "caused" Zhenxihou's stroke, as a servant of the family, it is normal to feel frightened and guilty in his heart, and it seems impulsive to hang himself, but doesn't this just prove his loyalty to Zhenxihou? Even his family thinks that he is too lucky, but he did what he should do, except for being sad and sad in his own family, he did not have the slightest intention of complaining about the master's family.

After the death of this long follower, among the several henchmen of Zhenxi Hou, three or four people left suicide notes to atone for their sins for the same reason. As a result, the whole thing gradually revealed the "truth" in the words revealed in these suicide notes.

It turned out that an insider secretly carried evidence and went to Beijing to report to Zhenxihou, pointing out that someone in the southwest army had committed crimes without Zhenxihou. It's just that this person has been hunted down all the way, so he has always been very cautious, and even the complaint has been kept extremely secretive, for fear of being detected by the outside world. The long-term follower who hanged himself met him by accident, and he was chosen to be the messenger of the letter. Chang Sui was suspicious at the time, and after reporting to Zhenxihou, Zhenxihou sent several other henchmen to investigate the details and experience of that person, and finally confirmed the authenticity of what the other party said. Just when Zhenxi Hou sent someone to ask for evidence, he accidentally found that the other party was missing, and it was likely that he was found and killed by the pursuers. Zhenxi Hou immediately sent several henchmen to investigate the news of the pursuing soldiers, to recover the evidence, but in the end, the evidence was not recovered, but the names of the suspects involved in the case in the Southwest Army were discovered. It is said that it was a military general that Zhenxihou trusted very much, so Zhenxihou was excited for a while and suffered a stroke.

As for the identity of the informant, the evidence he brought with him, the pursuers who killed him, and the body of him after his death, etc., because the insiders committed suicide in shame, it has become an unsolvable mystery, and only one of the "stroke" Zhenxi Hou knows the truth. Others can only learn about this from those few suicide notes.

After the rest of the henchmen wept bitterly for their masters and former colleagues, Qi Qi swore in front of his son Su Boxiong that he would investigate the sinners who betrayed Zhenxihou, uproot them, and return the southwest army to a clear mind.

Immediately afterwards, it was rumored that after a stroke, Zhenxi Hou once regained a little ability to speak under the rejuvenation of the imperial doctor's superb acupuncture skills, and vaguely explained the words of his wife and two sons, and then fell asleep because of exhaustion. It's a pity that after he woke up again, he was severely paralyzed again, unable to speak, and even the imperial doctor applied the needle again, but it was useless.

However, with the instructions of the Marquis of Zhenxi, Su Boxiong, the prince of the Marquis of Zhenxi, wrote to the emperor, requesting that he go to Shu to investigate the truth of the secret case and punish the guilty. Su Boxiong claimed that he didn't have much evidence, but with the suicide notes left by several of his father's suicide henchmen, he could still piece together a few clues, which would help his investigation. Even if the road ahead is difficult, he must obey the "father's command" and fulfill his father's wishes.

As for the private gossip, it is said that Zhenxihou knows that his physical condition is not good, and he may not be able to hold on at some point, but he is eager to know the truth of the case, wants to see the person who betrayed him punished, and wants to ensure that his "clear name" will not be affected because of the black sheep, so he urged his eldest son to investigate in person, hoping that his wish would be fulfilled before he died.

With this rumor, both light and dark, what Su Boxiong wants to do in the Southwest Army, the resistance he encounters will be greatly reduced. As for those who have ghosts in their hearts, Su Boxiong will provide another version of the statement, such as that Zhenxihou had a big realization when he was seriously ill and wanted to correct his past mistakes or something...... Whether those people will believe it or not, only they know.

Everything is ready to go. The emperor once again sent the imperial physician to the Zhenxi Hou Mansion to re-examine the Zhenxi Hou, and the next day he issued a decree, which was played by Su Boxiong. At the same time, he also ordered a few assistants for Su Boxiong, namely three young children from the Cai family, the Yun family and the Min family. They will bring a group of men and go to Shu with Su Boxiong. They are all young and strong military attachés, if they hurry faster, maybe they can catch up with the Qin Cha and his party who set off first, the other party is ordered by the emperor to go to Shu to deal with the remnants of the king of Shu and private property.

In this way, Mrs. Zhenxi Hou first said goodbye to her second son, second daughter-in-law and two grandsons in tears, sent them out of the capital and went to Datong to take office, and then bid farewell to her eldest son and embarked on the road back to the southwest. She herself took her eldest daughter-in-law and two granddaughters to stay in the Xihou Mansion in Beijing Town, serving her husband Zhenxihou, who was paralyzed by a stroke, and the whole family closed the door. In order for Zhenxi Hou to recuperate, even if relatives and friends came to the door, they could only look at him from a distance through the doors and windows, and no guest could enter the house to get in close contact with him. Zhenxihou's daily dressing, eating, and grooming every day are all done by Mrs. Zhenxihou. Up and down in Hejing, no one did not appreciate the loyalty, strength and virtue of Mrs. Zhenxi Hou. Even the queen mother in the palace was moved by the spirit of Mrs. Zhenxi Hou, and specially rewarded the nourishing herbs to let her live and maintain her well.

The virtuous name of Mrs. Zhenxi Hou spread throughout the capital, and there is a tendency to spread outward. Thanks to her, the reputation of the Su family's daughters has also improved a lot. Although Miss Su had a scandal before, she never lost her innocence, but only damaged her reputation, which is not very out of line. The little girl's family was coaxed by her cousin, and Fang Xin promised the wrong person, and this kind of thing is not necessarily so new. When they have nothing to do, the wives and grandmothers may talk a few words in secret. But now that the palace has praised the virtuous name of Mrs. Zhenxihou, how can outsiders talk about the gossip of Mrs. Zhenxihou's granddaughter? Wouldn't that be a slap in the face of the Queen Mother? For a while, no one openly mentioned the scandal of Miss Su, and even the former king of Guangchang, Zhao Zhu, was completely forgotten. For Miss Su, this may be a blessing in disguise?

However, her father Su Boxiong had said before leaving Beijing, and the Zhenxi Hou Mansion had now dispelled the idea of looking for the eldest grandson's son-in-law, and he had to wait two more years before making plans.

It's early March. Spring is blooming in the capital, the Shangsi Festival is approaching, and some people have begun to go to the suburbs to step on spring. Zhao Mo was free that day, so he came to find Qin Hanzhen, and wanted to ask her to go outside the city to enjoy the spring, and by the way, Qin Bai and the Niu family were also invited. He has a summer garden in Xishan, a hot spring Zhuangzi in Xiaotangshan, and a small industry in the suburbs of Beijing.

Qin Bai didn't agree immediately. The Qin family also has a spring plan, the long room goes with the third room, and the second room may also send people to participate. Both the Chengenhou Mansion and the Yongjiahou Mansion have granges on the outskirts of Beijing, and it is not a problem to live anywhere, but there is no need to bother Zhao Mo. It's just that Zhao Mo is embarrassed, and Qin Bai thinks that it is okay to let him go with him. Anyway, he often travels with the Qin family, and he is no different from the family.

Qin Han was really happy, but he didn't dare to show it very much, but he was also interested in discussing with Niu and Zhao Mo where to go to enjoy the spring. Where the mountains are good, where the flowers are beautiful, where the water is exceptionally sweet, they have all collected a lot of useful information from different sources, and now it comes in handy.

Niu also said with great interest: "Our family has a Zhuangzi in Changping, so why don't we go to Changping? I heard that the incense of the Peace Temple is effective, and I have already had the heart to pay respects, but I have never had the opportunity, and now I just want to go there." I heard that the scenery there is good, there are several ancient trees that are very famous, the food is delicious, and there are tea leaves made by monks. Brother An and his family are about to enter Beijing, let them rest at home for two days, just ask Brother An to go with us to the Peace Temple, worship the Bodhisattva, ask the Bodhisattva to ensure that his daughter-in-law's birth is smooth and smooth, and also add a boy to our Qin family. ”

Qin Hanzhen said "tsk" in his heart, and the smile on his face remained unchanged: "It's nothing for the fifth uncle to go with us, the fifth aunt has a big belly, I'm afraid it's not good to go out with us." But it's too pitiful to leave her alone at home. Besides, the fifth uncle went to Beijing with his boss, and in order to accommodate the fifth aunt on the way, they walked slowly all the way, and they had been delayed for a lot of time. When they enter the capital, I am afraid that they will immediately leave and take office. It's hard to say whether the fifth uncle has time to go out to play with us. It's better for us to go by ourselves and ask for the grace of the Bodhisattva for the five uncles and five aunts, that is. ”

Niu Shi thought for a while: "This is also ...... Then wait until they get home. ”

Qin Hanzhen curled the corners of his mouth slightly, but quickly covered it up again. Neither Qin Bai nor the Niu clan noticed it, only Zhao Mo noticed it and thought about it.

While speaking, Qin Jian came over. He also came to ask about the spring outing. This year, there was no agreement on the location and date of the spring outing, and his grandmother Xu and mother Yao seemed to be at odds with each other. Qin Jian felt embarrassed, so he simply came to ask about the plan of the third room. If the third room has already been calculated, then the long room will follow the action of the third room, which will avoid further conflicts between the Xu family and the Yao family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Niu told him Sanfang's current plans, which also showed that this was not the final plan. When the specific regulations are discussed, she will send someone to tell him.

Then she asked Qin Jian again: "That day, our two governments jointly held a spring banquet, and after the banquet, I heard that several of you young people got together to drink, and you thought that you drank the most, and you were almost sent home horizontally, and when you got home, you didn't even care about eating, so you fell asleep, and slept until noon the next day. Your grandmother said that you were so hungry that you were reincarnated as if you were a starving ghost, and you ate the amount of two meals you normally had in one meal. I couldn't believe it was you! What's wrong with you? Drinking so much. How old are you, and what will you do if you become an alcoholic?"

Qin Jian was extremely helpless: "Uncle and grandmother, don't listen to others arranging my words. As he spoke, he secretly glared at Zhao Mo, who snickered.

Qin Jian sighed: "We were coaxed by Cai Shizi to drink too much that day. He's intent on intoxicating us!"
