Just when the family was anxious, the family outside suddenly rushed into the lobby and handed over a letter out of breath: "Madam, Miss, the master has sent a letter." ”

"What? Letter from the master! ”

Qin Xianglan's jade hand trembled slightly, and then she walked quickly, took the letter, and after retiring the maids, she looked at the envelope.

"The two ladies kissed each other."

Looking at the familiar handwriting on the envelope, the two ladies couldn't help crying with joy, and for a while they forgot to open the envelope, and their hearts were already relieved: "He's fine, it's okay." ”

"Mother, take it apart and see what Daddy wrote?" Su Hanlian reminded softly.

"Oh! Look at my mother, I have lost my temper. ”

Qin Xianglan hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face, carefully opened the envelope, and took out the letter placed in it: "When the two ladies receive this letter, it proves that Brother Lin and I are out of danger, and we don't have to worry, but for some special reasons, I discussed with Brother Lin to stay missing for the time being, and if my husband needs it, you can help me do one thing......"

Qin Xianglan closed the letter, lit a candle and burned the letter, and then said: "You have also seen the husband's plan, Qin Shou, according to the implementation of the husband's plan, you continue to pretend to find the whereabouts of the husband, and act like a little." ”

"Obedience!" Qin Shou turned to leave.

"Sister, after dark, you prepare some incense paper and candles, burn them outside the door, and try to cause as much noise as possible."

"I'll go and prepare, sister, you have to be careful." Gu Hengbo's beautiful eyes were instantly filled with water vapor, and he instantly became a pitiful appearance, and his acting skills were natural.

"Han Lian, after a while, you, Shan'er and Wei Niang will go together, and our family will go to break into this Jinling Mansion." Qin Xianglan's eyes were full of coldness: "I want to see how Nangong Wang ruled Jinling and made Jinling a place to hide filth and dirt, so that my husband was the governor of Jiangsu and was assassinated on the bank of the Qinhuai River in the most prosperous Jinling." ”

"Auntie, you seem to be a strategic general at this time." Su Shan couldn't help but say.

"The eldest lady was also the daughter of the Ministry of Rites, and there are still some means to blame it, but the blame is only for Nangong Wang's powerlessness and opposition to my husband everywhere." Qin Xianglan said.

Su Hanlian's eyes were also full of coldness, and when she saw the letter, she didn't say a word throughout the whole process, and only then did she speak softly: "Mother, I think you ignored one thing, the one that Brother Lin reminded me of." ”

"What's the matter? For the mother did not notice. Qin Xianglan pondered for a moment and shook her head.

Su Hanlian reminded softly: "Daddy mentioned in the letter that Brother Lin once told him that it was best for him to send a letter to spread the news of Daddy's assassination to the capital, but Daddy refused. ”

"Since your father has refused, I don't think there is any need for this matter, right?" Qin Xianglan wondered.

Su Hanlian's tone suddenly hardened, and said strongly: "No, Daddy ignored Brother Lin's reminder, he is the governor of Jiangsu, an official to the second rank, in a high position, once assassinated is undoubtedly a great loss for the country, I suggest that my mother repair a letter, and order someone to send it to the capital quickly and hand it to my grandfather, so that my grandfather can submit it to the saint, Chen Qing is powerful, and knock on the side, explaining Daddy's current situation, mainly focusing on the issue of the command of the Jiangsu army, that should be the imperial decree, as long as Daddy can get the military power of Jiangsu, Then these people, no matter how bold they are, do not dare to act rashly. ”

"Military power, your father has long wanted to grasp it, but here are all those people's henchmen, deep-rooted, if you want to get military power, even if there is a holy decree, it is not necessarily, it is very likely to force the other party to resist, and it will be more dangerous at that time, and we may become turtles in the urn." Qin Xianglan was a little hesitant, this was too dangerous.

Su Hanlian chuckled, Brother Lin, are you thinking as Han Lian guessed, and said softly: "I guess the one above the Golden Palace also thinks about these things, so there must be his plan." Mother, you can rest assured. ”

"Han Lian, when did you become so quick to think?" Qin Xianglan suddenly reacted.

Su Hanlian's heart trembled, her old state reverted, and she said in a hip-hop voice: "Ah, I don't have it, I just like to think about it, and you don't usually play with me." ”

"Okay, the matter has come to this, then the mother will repair a letter and ask your grandfather to submit it to the saint." Qin Xianglan took a deep look at her daughter, and only felt that her daughter seemed to be a little different from before.

……

On this day, the Jinling Mansion received a shocking case, the governor was actually assassinated in Jinling City, and after being thrown into the river, his life and death are still uncertain.

The governor's wife, daughter, and son came to the yamen to report the case, and Nangong Wang's whole face turned completely black, and he thought, "What the hell is this shitty thing to do?" ”

Since the incident happened only one morning, although the Qinhuai River had already spread the rumor, Nangong Wang also received the news, he wanted to solve it quietly, maybe he could have the right to act as if this incident had not happened, but with the arrival of Qin Xianglan, he had to file a case for investigation.

He can foresee what kind of consequences this side will face if he is allowed to wear this matter back to the capital, it is very likely that he will be removed from his post directly, and then the whole of Jiangsu will be monitored.

If this is the case, their group, the forces behind them will be seriously hit, and at that time, he Nangong Wang will not be able to eat and walk around, and the Nangong family will also suffer.

After all, the assassination of the governor of a province during his tenure, the governor in charge of military and political power, in the provincial capital, is absolutely dishonorable in any case.

Especially Su Lun, who has been in Jiangsu for two years, has made no achievements in his political achievements, and will definitely attract the attention of the above, and when the time comes, the matter of the governor being set aside by local officials will be obvious, and it will give the one in the Golden Palace a reason to vigorously purge Jiangsu officialdom.

If Nangong Wang can't handle this matter properly, then he is not far from being laid off, and his teacher will soon send someone to replace him, and the Nangong family will definitely go downhill immediately if they lose the shade of his big tree.

Other cloth merchants and garment manufacturers, especially the Li family, which has been in civil strife and the Hong family, which has been in full swing recently, will definitely not let go of the opportunity to suppress the Nangong family, after all, since he Nangong Wangli came immediately, he has not taken the opportunity to provoke.

What Nangong Wang needs most now is time, and he has the intention to ask Qin Xianglan and the three of them to carefully state the case clearly, but they never thought that the other party had already written the case into a complaint: "Lord Nangong, although the civil woman has no official position, but the husband of the civil woman is the governor of Jiangsu, but under his own jurisdiction, he was assassinated in Jinling Mansion, and now he does not know his life and death, and he also asks Lord Nangong to find the whereabouts of my husband as soon as possible. ”

"Yes, yes, madam, don't worry!"

"The women can't rest assured, the low efficiency of the government in Jinling Mansion is obvious to all."

"Bang, Mrs. Qin, although you are the defendant, you can't slander my Jinling officials." With a startled shot, Nangong Wang suddenly raised his voice.

"Slander?"

Qin Xianglan stood up, looked at Nangong Wang in the hall very elegantly, and said slowly: "Since the people came to Jinling with their husbands, the Jinling Mansion has received more than 700 large and small complaints in two years, including more than 160 homicides, and more than 500 theft, robbery, and disappearances, but the current solved homicide cases are only more than 60 cases, and there are still hundreds of unfinished cases, and other theft, robbery, disappearance, etc., have been dealt with less than 30 cases, do you think the people should believe in such a government?" The government offices in a county are much more efficient than this. ”

"This ...... How did Madame know the progress of the trial of the case in our government, could it be that an informant was placed in my government? Nangong Wang was speechless for a while, he didn't expect that Qin Xianglan would know so much.

"Humph!"

Qin Xianglan snorted coldly and said calmly: "Lord Nangong, don't buckle the big hat for the people's women, the people's women were also the daughters of the Ministry of Rites, and they are quite familiar with the affairs of the Yacha, the government is not far from the people's house, how many times have the grievances been sounded in the past two years, I know in my heart, and how many times the case has been closed, I also know very well, what is the trouble of wanting to add crimes, do you dare to make the file public?" ”

"This ......"

It would be good if Nangong Wang dared to make it public, most of those cases have not been closed yet, and he has always used procrastination, just to wait for the matter to be covered up by another matter, and then cost the file, but the small case is okay, but the big case will not work.

This damn woman is really Su Lun's virtuous helper, and it must have been recorded by Su Lun.

Nangong Wang knew that if he continued, there would be more and more flaws, so he had to say: "I won't argue with you, the case has been accepted by this government, and the whereabouts of Master Su will be traced as soon as possible." ”

Qin Xianglan's face was pale, and she didn't give Nangong Wang any face, and said: "This is the first thing, but the folk women hope that they will see people in life and corpses in death, and when the case is closed, the folk women hope that the adults can arrest the murderer and bring it to justice, otherwise they will wait to bear the anger of the people's women." ”

"Quit!"

Nangong Wang had fire in his heart, but he didn't dare to face Qin Xianglan, now Su Lun is missing, life and death are unknown, although Qin Xianglan's father has stepped down from the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but the protégé is all over the world, and the current secretary of the Ministry of Rites is Qin Ruxue's protégé, if Qin Xianglan repairs a letter and asks Qin Ruxue to submit it, it is very likely that he will not be able to sit in a stable position here at that time.

Back in Su Mansion, the cold color on Qin Xianglan's face eased a lot, and after calling the maid of the family to tell her some things, she went to find Gu Hengbo to ventilate.

And Su Hanlian also temporarily said goodbye to her mother and rushed to Luo's house with her younger brother, they learned the news here, Luo's family was closer to the Confucius Temple, she expected that Luo Wan must have been anxious, and she wanted to inform Luo Wan of the news first.

Sure enough, as soon as she and Su Shan arrived, they saw Luo Wan standing outside the door with tears in her eyes, and when they saw her coming, they couldn't help but pounce on her, and looked at Luo Wan without saying anything.
