"Ransom?"

The county lord of Qinghe frowned, and asked with some doubts: "The prisoners in the edict prison can also be ransomed?" ”

The Great Qi Law stipulates that as long as it is not a major crime of rebellion, anyone who violates the law can be redeemed according to the severity of the crime. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, Jinlanwei is different, it has an independent political and legal and prison prison, and it has been established for fifty or sixty years, and there has never been a person who has been successfully ransomed.

The Ning family was a little unhappy, what kind of 'human criminal', Ma's words were also ugly, their master and Brother Qin were just temporarily imprisoned in the Imperial Prison, how could they be the same as those vulgar and despicable prisoners?

However, today she still has something to ask Ma's family, no matter how uncomfortable she is, she will not show it, she still smiles and says: "Under normal circumstances, once a person is in prison, unless the emperor orders an amnesty, he cannot redeem it. But our lord is different from Brother Qin'er, their case has been closed, and the saint has already punished him...... Brother Mian went to inquire, like the old man, they only need to spend a little silver, and they can be released. ”

The county lord of Qinghe does not move his eyebrows and eyes, and his heart speaks, which is also possible. The reason why the saint kept Qi Lingyuan's father and son locked up was mainly because he felt that what they were doing was too angry and wanted them to suffer more.

There is also a more important point, the relationship between the saint and Qi Lingyuan's branch is very bad.

Speaking of which, it is necessary for us to talk about the old things of the Qi family.

More than 30 years ago, Taizong reigned, the eldest princess and he were brothers and sisters of the same mother, relying on the power of the eldest princess, Qi Keng was the elder brother, and successfully took over the title of Marquis of Pingxi from Qi Ziru.

After a few more years, Qi Keng and Qi Qiang passed away one after another, and the title passed to the source of Qi Ling. The Qi family's East Mansion was firmly pressed on the head of the West Mansion, and the eldest princess didn't even look at the West Mansion, and the entire West Mansion was almost trampled into the mud. If it weren't for the fact that Qi Lingxian still had half of the military power of the southwest battalion in his hands, perhaps Xifu would no longer exist.

Rao is like this, Xifu was severely suppressed by the eldest princess, and the children in the family also died one after another. At that time, the county lord of Qinghe had just passed the door, and the first few children could not stand, either because she thought too much during pregnancy and even injured the fetus, which eventually led to the premature birth and death of the child, or there was an 'accident'.

Of course, the county lord of Qinghe is not a fuel-efficient lamp, the first child died 'accidentally', she didn't take half a month to find out the black hand behind it, and under the resentment, she fought back without mercy.

Ning's eldest son, who had turned one year old, 'accidentally' fell into the pond within two days and drowned on the spot.

The eldest princess was so distressed that she fainted directly, and after she woke up, she would convict the county lord of Qinghe if she didn't investigate, and command the princess's personal guards to arrest the county lord of Qinghe.

The county lord of Qinghe will naturally not be arrested, the Qi family uses martial arts to pass on the family, and Qi Ling first went to the southwest to garrison, leaving hundreds of 'family members' for the family.

The eldest princess's personal guard and the 'family ding' of the county lord of Qinghe confronted each other in the Qi family's mansion, and the battle was about to break out, and the atmosphere was very tense.

The eldest princess has a noble status in the royal family, and her temperament is also extremely arrogant, even the queen and the crown prince are not in her eyes. On the contrary, he was very close to Taizong's favorite concubine, Gao Guifei. Taizong and Concubine Gao looked at the face of the eldest princess and always favored the Eastern Mansion.

Although the queen and the crown prince are at a disadvantage, they occupy orthodoxy, and secretly contact the Zhao State Mansion, the British Mansion, and several scholars in the Four Great Mansions, and use the case of the Qi family to suppress the noble concubine.

Taizong has the intention of favoring his sister and nephew, but he can't really kill Xifu completely, after all, there are several Guogong mansions standing behind Xifu.

In the end, Taizong's major fifty boards vaguely blurred the infighting between the two mansions of the Qi family.

Since then, the east and west governments have been like fire and water, if it weren't for the southwest camp, the two families would have been directly separated, and they would never have been in touch with each other.

After a few more years, Taizong is old, and the battle between the prince and the king of Shu has reached a white-hot realm. Qi Lingyuan fully supports the King of Shu, and is a sworn enemy with today's saints, and together with the eldest princess, he has added a lot of blockages to today.

However, Qi Lingxian stood firmly behind the current prince, who was still the prince, and continued to fight with Dongfu.

Later, with the support of the clan headed by King An and the four major princes headed by Gu Chong, the saint finally ascended to the throne.

Once the son of heaven and a courtier, the saint sat firmly on the throne, and began to liquidate, casually found an excuse, directly erased the title of Marquis of Qi Lingyuan Pingxi, and instead made Qi Lingxian the Duke of Qianguo.

Ten years in Hedong and ten years in Hexi, the east mansion of the Qi family declined, the west mansion flourished, and the internal struggle of the Qi family entered a new stage.

But the saint Qi Lingyuan's branch was disgusted from the bottom of his heart, if he didn't want to bear the charge of being a mean clan and abusing his aunt, he would have taken away the title of the eldest princess a long time ago.

Now, it was easy to catch the mistakes of Qi Lingyuan's father and son, and it would be strange if the saint didn't fix them well.

"Oh? Is there such a 'good' thing? The county lord of Qinghe remained silent, his fingers gently rubbed the lines of the pillow under his elbow, and asked, "I just don't know what the specific charter is?" ”

To put it bluntly, the county lord of Qinghe wanted to know how much money it would cost to redeem Qi Lingyuan and Qi Qinzhi.

But in his heart, he silently calculated that if the saint had the heart to learn from Qi Lingyuan's family, even if he was allowed to 'redeem', he would definitely give an extremely high price.

Sure enough, Ning Shi was a little embarrassed and a little expectant and said, "Thirty thousand taels of silver per person!" ”

"What? 30,000 taels, per person?! ”

The county lord of Qinghe sat up abruptly and looked at the Ning family fixedly, 30,000 taels for one person, and 60,000 taels for two people.

Sixty thousand taels, not sixty taels, six hundred taels, but sixty thousand taels. Such a large sum of money, even when the Qi family was still the Guogong Mansion, it was easy to take it out.

Not to mention that the Qi family has nothing now, to put it mildly, it is sixty thousand taels, even six thousand taels, and the county lord of Qinghe can't take it out!

Ning accompanied the smiling face, rubbed his hands and said, "Yes, it only costs 60,000 taels of silver, and they can come back." Sister-in-law, I know that the family doesn't have so much money now, but we can't watch their father and son suffer in prison. In the past, there was no way, and we didn't have a place to work hard, but now there is finally a clear way, although it is difficult, we have to try it! ”

Ning took two steps forward, and made a gesture to kneel down for the county lord of Qinghe, "Sister-in-law, brother and sister, please, save our master and Brother Qin." ”

The county lord of Qinghe didn't speak, let alone support Ning's family, he just sat quietly and looked at her quietly.

Ning's squatting action paused, for some reason, she always felt that Ma's eyes were very sharp, as if she had already seen through her calculations. Ning even felt that he was a clown jumping up and down in Ma's eyes.

The county lord of Qinghe said slowly: "My brother and sister really look up to me, ha, sixty thousand taels of silver?" The book in the account room is no more than two hundred taels, and that is the bonus I just drew back from the dowry shop—"

Ning's old face turned red, but he still endured the shame in his heart and reminded: "I also know that my sister-in-law has exhausted her mental strength for the family these days. What's that, isn't there still a daughter-in-law of Brother Jin? Now that she is back, she can help her sister-in-law to some extent! ”

Ning's little abacus is very fine, and the wives and grandmothers of the two Qi families add up, there are only a few in total. Since the accident of the Qi family, everyone's dowry has been almost spent. At this time, Gu Jialuo came back, and by the way, he also brought back boxes of dowries.

Others don't know, but the Ning family knows Gu Jialuo's family very well. At the beginning, the eldest prince mainly calculated the Gu family, and borrowed Luo's hand to rob Gu Jialuo's Western shop, and only that Western shop was worth twenty or thirty thousand silver.

And like this shop, Gu Jialuo has several in his hands.

Sixty thousand taels of silver is an astronomical amount for the current Qi family, but for Gu Jialuo, it is definitely a drop in the bucket!

Ning secretly dialed the abacus, and his face couldn't help but bring out a few points.

The county lord of Qinghe was extremely bored when she saw it, and she said slowly: "Brother Jin's daughter-in-law has just come back, and she still doesn't know how to do the housework, and she doesn't need her for the time being. And the matter of silver, speaking of silver, brother and sister, it seems that Dongfu has not been handed over to the family this month. There are many places to use money at home, and I have to handle the marriage for Brother Mian in the coming year, and it will not be possible without money. ”

The county lord of Qinghe looked at the Ning family fixedly, and sneered in his heart: I don't want to be like you, and I quarrel all day long for a few taels of silver, so I don't know how to do it. Well, since you have calculated my daughter-in-law's dowry, I will not let you marry your daughter-in-law smoothly!

Ning's face suddenly sank, what did Ma mean? Is this a threat to her about Brother Mian'er's marriage?

The county lord of Qinghe was not afraid of Ning's black face at all, but looked straight at each other, and finally Ning looked away first.

I only heard Ning's sneering words: "This, I have been busy with my lord's affairs these days, I forgot for a while, sister-in-law rest assured, I will order someone to send the silver later." But, the ransom—"

The county lord of Qinghe said: "This matter is too big, and I can't be the master, so my younger siblings should go and discuss it with my aunt." It just so happens that the eldest aunt's illness has improved a lot in the past two days, and I saw her teach the little maid a lesson yesterday, and I think I should have the energy to help Brother Yuan and Brother Mian make the decisions! "It's about the eldest princess's son and grandson, and she should be bleeding!

The county lord of Qinghe knew very well that the sage had taken away the princess of Ping'an, but Ping'an's private property was not confiscated. Ping An has been a princess and a lady of the Hou Mansion for more than 60 years, and the ladder in her hand is definitely not expensive. It's just that Ping An has always been stingy, guarding the gold mountain but refusing to take it out and spend it.

A few days ago, the eldest princess pretended to be confused and hid by being sick.

This time, the county lord of Qinghe didn't want her to hide anymore.

The Ning family was stunned, the county lord of Qinghe had never cared about these, how could he become careless today? And let her go to the eldest princess? The money in the eldest princess's hand, how can it be so easy to take out?

Ning and Ping'an have been mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for nearly 30 years, and they know the temperament of their mother-in-law best, if she really goes to find the eldest princess, the eldest princess will not only not give it, but will force her to sell her dowry to save people!

This, this is not good, the remaining dowry is the last foundation of the Ning family, and she doesn't want to give it up easily.

Ning held back his smile and said with a face full of anger: "Sister-in-law doesn't want to help and just say it, so why bother talking about it?" My mother-in-law's health is not good, and we don't say respect to the younger generation, but we still have to bother her with everything? ”

Dropping this sentence, Ning shook his sleeves and left.

Qinghe County Lord: "......" is the best! (To be continued.) )
