Chapter 115: The Token in the Study
After the incident actually happened, she only felt that her whole brain was dizzy, and she didn't know what to do at all?
She regretted it, regretted listening to her mother, even if her father remarried and had another son, the situation would not be worse than now. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Or they lost the bet, and they despised her father, the prime minister who was above 10,000 people.
Qin Mingzhu regretted it here, Zi'er didn't care, she was concerned about the situation on Qin Guangguang's side. The Zhang family has been taken away by Qin Guangguang's people, so Qin Guangguang has completely believed that the person who poisoned her is her. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let people kidnap the Zhang family directly, and if there was still a trace of suspicion, he wouldn't have been so disgraceful to the Zhang family.
What will happen to the Zhang family, Zi'er doesn't care, and she won't be unbearable because the Zhang family is about to be tortured by Qin Guangguang, the matter is done by the Zhang family and her children, since they dare to poison their husband and father, they should be prepared to bear the consequences of doing so.
After taking a nap, Zi'er got up energetically, listened to the news from Bai Mei, and knew that after Qin Guangguang had called Qin Feng over just now, Zi'er believed that tonight would be the best time to explore Qin Guangguang's study.
After seeing Qin Feng, Qin Guangguang must have been exhausted, his spirit had been under the greatest pressure, his heart was completely occupied by physical injuries and injuries from his son and daughter, as for the rest, he definitely had no time to pay attention.
After nightfall, the entire Prime Minister's Mansion was as silent as death, and the masters of each courtyard ordered the people in their courtyards not to leave the courtyard. Although the aunts didn't know what was going on in the house, they all received the note, and they saw the words on the note, after all, the note was so directly delivered to them, they saw it even if they didn't want to see it.
What's more, if they hadn't seen the words on the note, where would they rush to find their master? Where can Zhang's deeds be found out so quickly.
Although they knew that their master was angry, several aunts only felt extremely relieved when they heard that Zhang was kidnapped, and they were not worried or afraid at all, they just wanted to hear that Zhang was tortured.
Qin Mingzhu couldn't find out anything, only that her mother was taken to her grandmother's yard, and then she never came out.
Her father stayed with his mother for more than an hour and then left, and stayed in his room and did not come out.
As for her brother, after being found by her father, he has not been able to find out the news, and he doesn't know what the situation is.
She wasn't worried about her brother, no matter what happened, her father wouldn't do anything to her only son.
Qin Mingyue didn't know what the hell to do recently, she used to always annoy people around her, but now when she wants to use her, she hasn't seen a single figure.
The night was thick, the crescent moon was obscured by dark clouds, the faint light was hidden behind the clouds, and the earth was pitch black.
Qingfeng Xuan
Two slender and slender figures quickly jumped over the courtyard wall and quickly disappeared into the night.
Zi'er and Bai Mei deftly sneaked towards Qin Guang's courtyard. The terrain of the courtyard where Qin Guangguang lived in the Ming and Qing Dynasties had long been familiar to the two, and the two guards in the courtyard had also figured it out.
Although there are a lot of things happening in the mansion, Qin Guangguang is exactly when he needs to use manpower, but the guards of the Ming and Qing dynasties are still strict. However, compared to the palace compound, or those sophisticated instruments in modern times, it is not difficult for the two of them to avoid these guards unknowingly.
Zi'er's target is the study and Qin Guang's bedroom, but there are people in the bedroom, and Qin Guangguang is there almost every night, so Zi'er doesn't plan to sneak into the bedroom tonight, she just wants to see if there are any secrets in the study.
As for the bedroom, she was going to take Hugh into it. After the incense is made, act on it. If it weren't for King Ding's desire to find out Qin Liang as soon as possible, she wouldn't have acted so quickly tonight, in fact, the best time was when Qin Guangguang was out of Beijing and was not in the mansion. In that case, he will definitely have his capable hands with him, and he will definitely take the strong guards in his courtyard with him.
However, the timing of tonight is not bad, Qin Guangguang's spirit is not good, and the courtyard is not stable.
The journey to the study was smooth, but I found the whole study and didn't find anything useful. This Qin Liang is either a prime minister who keeps to himself, or those important things are not here. However, judging from Zi'er's experience, the more important things are, the tighter they are hidden. If you can find it casually, it doesn't matter.
I knocked around on the wall, and even checked the mural hanging on the wall, but I didn't find any mechanism.
But Qin Guangguang has been in the phase for so many years, if you want to say that there is no mechanism in his study, Zi'er really doesn't believe it, there was no safe fresh-keeping warehouse in ancient times, and if you want to hide things, you can only set up a secret compartment or a secret room.
The people in the Prime Minister's Mansion all know that the study of the Ming and Qing Dynasties is a forbidden place in the mansion, and no one is allowed to step into half a step without Qin Guangguang's permission, even Qin Feng, the son who Qin Guangguang loves and values the most, cannot enter this study at will.
The study is not very big, so the place where the mechanism can be set up, Zi'er almost found it clearly, standing in the middle of the study, Zi'er frowned, is this trip in vain?
It shouldn't be possible, there are no important private things in that big family, and the Prime Minister must have them. According to Zi'er's observations over time, those things are most likely hidden in this study.
Looking up at the high roof, Zi'er Xuan jumped onto the thick beam, and in the faint light, the dark eyes became even sharper. The gaze swept over the beams, the eaves on the roof, and finally landed on a large section of wooden eaves.
Zi'er's hand gently placed on the wooden eaves, twisted slightly, the wooden eaves actually moved to the side, Zi'er took out a dagger and gently dug the wall covered by the wooden eaves, and sure enough, this is where the mechanism is opened.
It's really cleverly set, and the ancient people also had a lot of extraordinary wisdom.
Behind the mechanism, there is not a secret room, only a few secret compartments, and there are things in the secret compartments. The corners of Zi'er's lips were slightly hooked, and she picked up the things in the dark compartment with gloves woven from heavenly silk, and looked at them carefully. What appears to be a token is placed in a wooden box.
Looking at the token carefully, Zi'er didn't know what it was for. The pattern engraved on the token is a bit strange, it looks like a lion but it is not a lion, and it looks like a tiger but not like a tiger.
Let Bai Mei take a look, and Bai Mei doesn't know the use of this token.
Apart from this token, there are only some silver tickets and title deeds in the dark grid, and apart from these and that token, there is nothing.
Zi'er remembered the appearance of the token, then put the things away as they were, closed the mechanism, and squeezed out of the study.
Back to Qingfeng Xuan, Zi'er traced the token, and now I don't know the function of the token, but it must not be an ordinary thing, this must be a good clue for the given king.
Qin Guangguang's study has been checked, and there is no suitable opportunity in the bedroom, smart people know that eggs can't be put in the same basket, so Zi'er feels that Qin Guangguang's secret should still be in his bedroom. After all, except for that token, there is nothing else in the study room, such as account books or anything, as the prime minister of a country for so many years, with Qin Luang's person, it is impossible to have a clean breeze on both sleeves.
The next day, Qin Guangguang passed the word that Mrs. Zhang, the wife of the Prime Minister's Mansion, was infected with a vicious disease and went to another hospital to recuperate, and Dr. Ding, who was most trusted by the Prime Minister in the house, also went to recuperate for his wife.
It's just that the prime minister of Xirui was poisoned, and the inhumane news also leaked out, and the teahouses and restaurants in the capital were talking about this matter for a while, and everyone was discussing whether this matter was true or false.
As soon as Zi'er returned home, she got the news that the second lady had been grounded, and this time the grounding did not indicate when the ban would be lifted, but without their master's order, Qin Mingzhu was not allowed to step out of the courtyard for half a step.
Thinking about it, if it weren't for Qin Mingzhu's imminent death, I'm afraid this punishment would be more than just a grounding.
As for Qin Feng, Zi'er only got the news that he was sent out of the capital by Qin Guangguang, and as for where he went, Zi'er didn't know. However, King Ding will definitely know that he is staring at the Prime Minister's Mansion now, so he knows every move of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
On the afternoon of Zi'er's return to the house, the family affairs of Xiaohe Hall to the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Pingguo Marquis Mansion were also blown, although she was a concubine, but Qin Xiang had such a reputation, even if the Pingguo Marquis Mansion wanted to twist into a line with the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was not good to marry her daughter under such circumstances. An inhumane man has to marry his daughter, and he must not be laughed at by others.
There is no Zhang family in the house, Qin Mingzhu can't produce any moths, and Qin Feng is not there, but he is a lot cleaner. It's just that the old woman is too good at tossing, because she didn't go to the Rongguo Mansion because she was annoyed with Zi'er, so she called her over from time to time, and mocked her for a long time, but unfortunately, her combat power is comparable to Zi'er, and she can't please Zi'er at any time.
And every time Dong Rui'er saw Zi'er, she hated her a little more, especially after Zi'er proposed that the old woman let Dong Rui'er marry her good grandson Qin Feng, Dong Rui'er simply regarded Zi'er as a thorn in the flesh.
Nearly half a month has passed, and although the rumors in Shangjing are not so intense, they still haven't subsided.
However, Zi'er admired Qin Guangguang a little, if such a thing happened, he could still go to the court every day, and in the face of the ridicule and ridicule of his political parties in the court, he could still keep his face unchanged, and his psychological quality was strong enough.
If he hadn't lost his temper as soon as he returned home, and he had punished a lot of subordinates in just half a month, Zi'er would have admired his mental quality for being strong enough.
"Miss, Yuan Ming, who is next to the master, came to pass the word, and the master asked you to go to the Ming and Qing Courtyards."
Zi'er put down the book in her hand and raised her eyebrows, Qin Guangguang invited her to the Ming and Qing Dynasties? I have the impression that this is the first time that her father, her father, invited her to the Ming and Qing Dynasties!
I just don't know for what?
Thinking of Qin Guangguang's mood and temper these days, Zi'er felt that this trip was probably nothing good.
In the main hall of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Qin Guangguang sat in the main seat, Yuan Ming stood behind him, except for himself, there were only two of them in the entire main hall.
Zi'er lowered her eyes and saluted, "I've seen my father!" ”
"I heard that you have been out of the mansion a lot lately with the Yunzheng County Lord?"
The cold voice couldn't hear the emotion in his words, Zi'er glanced up and nodded: "Recently, the county lord of Yunzheng often invited me to come over to talk about poetry. ”
Zi'er often went to Zhennan Wangfu to give Baili Ruiyang acupuncture because of Baili Ruiyang's illness, under the pretext that the Yunzheng County Lord invited her to come over, in fact, every time she went to the Yunzheng County Lord, she secretly went to Baili Ruiyang to treat her illness. However, in addition to King Ding and Baili Ruiyang, only the Lord of Yunzheng knew about this matter.
At that time, the lord of Yunzheng County learned that his brother's illness could be cured, and he didn't know how happy he was, and he was even more heartfelt thanks to Zi'er.
After a few contacts, the two got along, and it can be said that Lord Yunzheng is the first female friend Zi'er made in this world.
Qin Guangguang glanced at Zi'er, she hadn't seen her for a while, but this daughter was getting more and more brilliant.
"The rules and etiquette of the Yunzheng County Lord are taught by the most qualified palace maid in the palace, and you can learn well when you are with her. Soon after, the eldest princess of Xihua Kingdom is coming, this time she came to choose a concubine, according to the news obtained by her father, King Su and Concubine Ye are interested in the eldest princess of Xihua Kingdom. If you still want the identity of Princess Su, use more thought to be with King Su, otherwise, if you withdraw from your family, it will be difficult to find a good family in the future. ”
Zi'er didn't expect Qin Guangguang to say this to herself, but what he meant, let him think more about King Su meant to let him use some means to let King Su marry her as soon as possible?
As the minister of a country, I didn't expect to say such things to my daughter.
Zi'er looked down on her father even more in her heart. Knowing the plans of Concubine Ye and King Su, he even let his daughter do this, for him, for the sake of interests, did he ever have any affection for his children?
"Grandmother said, let me take my cousin with me wherever I go, if I don't go out of the house with my cousin, my grandmother will think that I don't love my cousin and dislike my cousin, the first two times I went to Zhennan Wangfu, it was also because I didn't have a post to bring my cousin with me, so I went alone."
Zi'er's words were a bit tactful, but I believe that Qin Guangguang could understand what she meant, that is, her grandmother, his mother, wanted to drag him back, and wanted her niece to replace his daughter to climb the big tree of King Su.
The first few times I went to Zhennan Wangfu, the old woman didn't like her because she didn't take Dong Rui'er with her, but now Qin Guangguang asked her to think about King Su, so Zi'er told her about it, just so that their mother and son "scratched the wall". Let Qin Guangguang know that in his mother's heart, his daughter is not as good as her niece.
Qin Guangguang frowned, he was really unhappy because of what Zi'er said, he was nothing to his own niece who valued his own son, but for his niece, he also wanted to take away his granddaughter's family affairs, and regarded his mother's family as more important than his own son, which must have made him unhappy.
"Your cousin is just the daughter of a little magistrate, even if she enters the door of King Su's mansion, she is a concubine, your grandmother is confused, you don't need to care about this, if she asks, you can say that I said it, and I will talk to her about it."
"Father, since King Su and Concubine Ye have taken a fancy to the eldest princess of Xihua Kingdom, they must not like their daughter, and grandmother also thinks that her daughter is not worthy of King Su, this family matter, the daughter may not be able to give up!"
In fact, Zi'er knew the answer, unless there was a better choice than King Su, otherwise he would definitely not withdraw from his family, but if the royal family took the initiative to mention the matter of withdrawing from his family, he would have to agree.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You have been working with King Su for more than ten years, where can you stop? Moreover, you are the eldest daughter of the dignified Prime Minister's house, and it is enough to match the king of Su. As for the eldest princess of Xihua Kingdom, as long as you and King Su do not withdraw from their relatives for a day, it is impossible for her to marry King Su, and you should find a way to get along with King Su and Concubine Ye at present. Thinking of the fact that King Ding had come to the Prime Minister's Mansion some time ago, Qin Guangguang looked at Zi'er with a deep and sharp gaze, "You honestly tell your father, you and King Ding, is there anything?" ”
"Father thinks too much, I am King Su's fiancée, what can I do with King Ding?" Zi'er really didn't expect that he, the father, would be involved with King Ding.
"If King Ding is willing to marry you as a concubine, you can stop your relationship with King Su." Compared with King Su, Qin Guangguang is more optimistic about King Ding, although King Su is expected to inherit the unification, it is also a possibility, and it may be other princes, not to mention that the emperor is now in good health. But King Ding is different, King Ding has 300,000 Dingjia troops, which is definitely more advantageous than letting his daughter marry any prince.
Is he old and confused? That's what he can say. Zi'er didn't have a good impression of this man in her heart.
"The father is too worried, the daughter is not familiar with the king, and she is not the honor to be in the eyes of the king."
Qin Guangguang glanced at Zi'er lightly, not feeling that what he did just now was anything shameful, and said in a deep voice: "That is the case, then get along with King Su well, you must know that you are a family business, I don't know how many people want it." ”
Zi'er nodded: "I know, if my father doesn't have anything else, I'll go down first." "Get along with King Su? She just wants to quit with him, and she will definitely quit with him.
But there is no need to say this to Qin Guangguang, it is nonsense, and he will even be hindered by him, in the absence of a better choice, such as a candidate like King Ding, he will never agree to withdraw from his family.
