Chapter 112: Arrival
"Otherwise, you will go to Ganzhou with us? How is it? ”
Qu Miaoling saw that the other party looked sad, and said.
This Xin Jiaxuan does have great talent, if he is let go, it will be a pity, but if he is kept for his own use, it is a good choice.
Regardless of whether Xin Jiaxuan has high school or not in this life, she has not lost, it is just a meal.
But if he is really in high school, it is also a blessing to meet such a pillar of talent.
What made Qu Miaoling happiest was that Situ Huaibo's kindness was snatched by herself, she wanted to see if there was no Xin Jiaxuan, who else would Situ Huaibo rely on to resolve the crisis in the future.
Thinking of this, Qu Miaoling smiled, and when she faced Xin Jiaxuan, her expression became more gentle.
This smile made Xin Jiaxuan move uncomfortably, but immediately he began to spit on himself, Pingshui met, this young lady came to the rescue is already a great grace, how can he be delusional that this girl is in love with himself!
And looking at the entourage of this girl's travel, at a glance, she knew that she was the daughter of a big family, where is he worthy of a person like him.
Besides, everyone said that they would take him to Ganzhou, and he had to go by himself in the future.
The carriage staggered and came to the gate of Ganzhou.
Now, Wu Dehou's younger brother Qu Ting is here to be a guard, Ganzhou is in an excellent location, it is an excellent place to produce grain, not to mention wealth, there is no difficulty and no disaster, the old lady of Hou Mansion also spent a lot of effort to get the second son here as an idle official.
With his identity as the second master of the Hou Mansion, coupled with the position of Taishou, no one dares to accuse him of anything.
Here, he is even more carefree than in the capital, and he is so carefree that Wu Dehou is envious.
In the Taishou Mansion, Qu Ting frowned, at this moment he had been removed from his position and given his own home.
Idle is a little idle, originally with his temperament, should be happier, at the beginning he knew that he could not inherit the title of the old marquis, regret in his heart, in addition to the meaning of refuge, when the old lady proposed, he agreed, go far, leave the capital of the land of right and wrong.
Unexpectedly, no matter how much he escaped, trouble would still come to the door.
"Master, it's time for the eldest lady to arrive, let's go out to greet you?" Taishou Mansion man Ma Shi Dao.
Ma is also a beautiful girl, seeing the old man's sad face, he was afraid that he would delay the business, so he persuaded.
"What to go! She is a junior, and she still wants me to pick her up, no matter how I say it, it is also her second uncle, and the elder is going to pick up the junior, what is it like! Qu Ting flicked his sleeves and was furious.
Ma couldn't cry or laugh, "Master, what are you talking about, the old lady sent Miss Qu here to help you, how can you ......?"
"Help me?" Qu Ting sneered, "If you really want to help me, how can she only send a girl, she is still a little girl who is not in time, you let me beg her to help me, where can I put my old face!" Qu Ting blew his beard and glared.
"Master, you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, who is the old lady, don't you know? She's facing you, if she wasn't sure, she wouldn't have sent the eldest lady, maybe yes, the old lady has found a way to deal with it, just let the eldest lady come and pass you a message? ”
Seeing that Qu Ting's face softened somewhat, Ma Shi continued to say: "Master, the eldest lady came this time, but on the surface, she went to Huaide Temple to pray for the blessing of the fairy lord of Huiling, if you don't go as the host, won't you add another handle to people?" ”
Ma Shi moved with emotion and reason, which made Qu Ting very faceless, and he roared: "Okay, okay, just you will say, I will go!" But don't think I'm going to give her a good look! ’
Qu Ting pulled his face and came to the city gate, and not far away, Qu Miaoling's convoy also slowly walked here.
"Miss, it seems to be the second master!" Gently lifted the curtain of the carriage and said in surprise.
In this regard, Qu Miaoling only said "um".
The carriage stopped, and as a junior, Qu Miaoling gave Qu Ting a salute after getting off the carriage, "I have long heard that the second uncle is calling for wind and rain in Ganzhou City, and his momentum is outstanding, but now when I see it, it really deserves its reputation." ”
Regarding Qu Miaoling's boasting, Qu Tingmian accepted it without changing his face.
The tense expression eased, but it was still cold.
"Second uncle, don't worry, I will definitely handle the things that my grandmother explained."
When the two of them walked towards the Taishou Mansion one after the other, Qu Miaoling suddenly lowered his voice and said.
Then she stood back in her place, as if nothing had happened.
Qu Miaoling's actions surprised Qu Ting, he couldn't help but look at his niece who had not seen him for more than ten years, originally he thought that this girl could see her face, she was a red face and a trouble, but he didn't expect her to be so smart.
also knew to avoid everyone and secretly sue him.
Qu Ting's good impression of Qu Miaoling suddenly appeared.
"Second uncle, grandmother is very worried about you, you can also relax, I will definitely find a way to help you."
When he came to the Taishou Mansion and waved off the people around him, Qu Miaoling said again.
On the one hand, it is for An Quting's heart, and on the other hand, it is also to let him know that his grandmother, who is far away in the capital, is very concerned about him.
"Second uncle, I don't know what happened back then, but my grandmother is helpless when she thinks about it, in her heart, she still cares about you very much!"
Qu Ting lowered his head and fell into deep thought, and after a while, he said: "After so many years, I also regret it, but ......"
"Hey!" Sighing, Qu Ting continued: "My mother thinks about me, and I also know that even if I have qi, it will be wiped out in more than ten years. ”
Hearing the affirmative answer, Qu Miaoling believed it and relaxed a little.
What she hopes for most is a happy family, and now that Qu Ting has also made a guarantee, she is relieved.
But thinking of the purpose of her trip, she still asked straight to the point: "Second uncle, what mistake did you make, and why were you targeted by Wenxiang's people?" ”
From the conversation she had with Qu Ting just now, she could see that this Qu Ting was not a traitor!
When Qu Ting heard this, he sighed again.
"Miao Ling, this-" Qu Ting slurred, which made Qu Miaoling feel that this matter was not simple.
"Second uncle, since the old lady believes that I can solve it, what are your concerns?"
Qu Ting glanced at Qu Miaoling, who had a firm face, and gritted his teeth and said: "That's the case, three years ago, when Wen Hongzhi was still a minor official in the household department, I escorted the disaster relief grain money to the southwest with him, but when I arrived in the southwest, when I received it there, I found that the amount of silver was wrong, 100,000 disaster silver, less than half, but the strange thing is that no one reduced the weight of the box containing the silver, and it was precisely because of this that no one found it along the way." ”
Thinking of the past, Qu Ting's expression changed.
"At that time, I was in charge of escorting, Wen Hongzhi was just a deputy, the silver was lost, the responsibility was all on me, the emperor knew that he would definitely be furious, and at that time there was a flood in the southwest, and the disaster relief money could not be sent, and maybe the entire Hou Mansion would be implicated at that time, I was afraid that I would ......" Qu Ting's voice was much weaker.
When he talked about this bad thing, he felt guilty.
Until now, he didn't know what was going on.
But at that time, Wen Wen Hongzhi was also afraid, if Qu Ting was arrested, he would not have good fruit to eat.
But Wen Hongzhi was bold, he immediately made a decision, bit back, said that the Qu Court was guarding and stealing, and deliberately shouted very loudly.
Qu Ting was so frightened that he immediately covered Wen Hongzhi's mouth.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Qu Ting's eyes were cracked.
Wen Hongzhi's eyes were red, as if he was crazy, he shook off Qu Ting's hand and said hoarsely: "It's you, you stole the silver!" ”
"It's not me, it's not me!" Qu Ting only cared about defending himself, but ignored that he had already fallen into the other party's carefully designed trap.
"How can you prove it's not you!"
"I ......" Qu Ting was speechless.
There was no way for him to prove his innocence, and Wen Hongzhi grasped this point, he walked to Qu Ting's side, and leaned into his ear like a demon crawling out of the abyss, "How is it?" Scared? ”
Qu Ting trembled with fear.
"You're not afraid?" Qu Ting asked rhetorically.
"Of course I'm not afraid, and I didn't do it, what am I afraid of!"
"I didn't do it!"
"Yes, that's what you did!" Wen Hongzhi kept giving him psychological hints, and in the end, because of his emotional breakdown, Qu Ting himself repeated, "I did it, I did it!" ”
Wen Hongzhi smiled, "Yes, you did it, you have to atone for your sins!" ”
"It's my fault, I want to atone for my sins!" Qu Ting was stunned, he accepted Wen Hongzhi's direct instructions, and Wen Hongzhi also promised him that he would help him solve this matter.
Later, he asked him how the matter was resolved, and the other party smiled mysteriously and didn't say anything.
But after a long time, when he left the capital and came here to be a taishou, away from the capital, away from Wen Hongzhi, this matter was suddenly brought up again.
And in the past few years, Wen Hongzhi has been threatening him and asking him to help him do things, and he has suffering.
But this time, this matter was turned out again, although it was just rumors, he was also scared and cautious.
However, I don't know why this matter was brought up again, maybe it was instructed by Prime Minister Wen, but-
Suddenly, an idea took shape in his mind, and Qu Ting said: "Miao Ling, I think, it is also possible that King Ning wants to frame me!" ”
Why did another King Ning pop up, Qu Miaoling was a little stunned.
But listening to Qu Ting continue, Qu Miaoling also felt that there was such a possibility.
When the emperor wanted to hunt and hunt wild, he needed these officials to patrol the peaks and look for places where there was more prey and the terrain was flatter.
At that time, Qu Ting went to Wuyan Mountain to inspect, and when he took people to the halfway up the mountain, he saw fireworks not far away, which were not big, but they could see clearly.
Qu Ting was stunned at the time, he still wondered if there was a family here, but when he took someone over to take a look, he saw a dark cave, and under the cave, there was a wide flat land, and soldiers wearing armor and holding weapons were practicing.
King Ning actually raised soldiers privately, which was a big crime to kill his head.
Qu Ting was scared, and led people to crawl, but the place where they were standing just now was too conspicuous, and the group of people had already found out.
Listening to the sound of the wind whistling behind him, as well as the neighing of horses, Qu Ting shouted in his heart: It's over, he may not be able to escape this catastrophe in a few days!
They were all well-trained soldiers, how could he have escaped?
King Ning brought people around him and surrounded him and his two subordinates.
"Qu Ting? What do you see? King Ning yelled.
"Xiaguan, Xiaguan has an eye disease, yes, Xiaguan's eye disease has not healed, and he can't see anything!" Qu Ting hurriedly explained.
King Ning smiled coldly, "Really? I saw that when you ran away, your eyes were very good! ”
"His Royal Highness King Ning spares his life, and the lower officials promise that he will never say a word."
"Guaranteed? Guaranteed that if it is useful, there will be war? Will there be slaughter? Come on, please go back to Master Qu and entertain you well! ”
Qu Ting was extremely frightened, and shouted: "I came today to do things for the emperor, if I don't go back, someone will definitely come to look for me, and when the time comes, King Ning thinks that his secret can still be hidden?" ”
