Jinan Mansion, Shandong, Qin Qiong has been home for many days, originally he wanted to go to Dengzhou to serve as the king of the mountain after returning home, but after he informed Qin's mother of this matter, Qin's mother did not agree with him to go to Dengzhou anyway, and he also asked the reason once, but Qin's mother did not tell him, which made him guess the reason. He still remembered what Xiao Zhuo said to him outside Luoyang City, he would have three tribulations in his life, one of which had passed, and the second tribulation was coming, and there would be a noble person to help him resolve these three tribulations, provided that he had to do things with his heart. However, he hit this nobleman, and at the same time he was his enemy, and he didn't know what kind of hatred it was, but judging from his mother's vow not to let him go to Dengzhou, most of his fate nobleman was probably Yang Lin.

After Tuo Fanhu sent the letter of apology to Dengzhou, Qin Qiong had no choice but to obey Qin's mother's wishes, cut off the idea of going to Dengzhou, and did her job in Jinan Mansion with peace of mind. However, the good times did not last long, only a few days later, Jinan Mansion received the dragon approval order of the king of Dengzhou, and the dragon approved the order of the county and county governors of Jinan Prefecture to exterminate the sound horse and recover the emperor within three months, otherwise all the governors of the prefecture will be held guilty! When he first came back, he heard Jia Runfu say something, saying that a few days ago, the 480,000 taels of Huanggang escorted by Luo Fang Xue Liang, the two righteous sons of the king of the backer, were robbed by Xiangma in the Changye Forest under the jurisdiction of Jinan Mansion, and he suspected that the person who did this might be You Junda, after all, out of Jinan Mansion, You Junda's power was the largest in the green forest and grass. It's just that five years ago, he received the favor of Shan Xiongxin, the chief of the eighteen villages, in Luzhou, and promised that as long as the people of the eighteen villages did not do anything that hurt the heavens and reason, he would turn a blind eye to the things they committed. In fact, what the people of Eighteen Villages have done over the years is indeed a righteous act, if he goes to report and expose it today, although he is worthy of the official clothes on his body, it is a violation of the original oath, and he is even more sorry for the people! However, the king of the backer has issued a clear order, if the case is not solved within the time limit, I am afraid that all the officials of Jinan Prefecture will be implicated, which makes him a little embarrassed.

Just as he was worried, two figures outside the hall walked in, Qin Qiong looked up, it turned out to be Jia Runfu and his son Qin Huaiyu, so he asked, "Huaiyu, why did you come here?" ”

"Daddy! A guest came to the house just now, saying that it was Zhang Gongjin of Beiping Mansion, and my mother asked me to invite you back. Qin Huaiyu saluted and replied, but Qin Qiong was slightly surprised and said: "Gong Jin! Yes! I'll go back. Then he said to Jia Runfu: "Runfu, you can help me deal with the matter here first, and I'll go home first." ”

"Uncle Bao, don't worry about going back! I'm here! ”

――――

In the main hall of the Qin family, Zhang Gongjin sat down with him, and there was a fat big fat man sitting opposite, the fat man stared at Zhang Gongjin with copper bell-like eyes, although Zhang Gongjin admitted that he did not offend him, but remembering Wang Junke's instructions, he still couldn't help but be stunned in his heart. This fat man's name is Luo Shixin, as early as when he passed by Wuliuzhuang before he came to Qin's house, he had heard Wang Junke mention this person, Wang Junke said that this person has the power of Meng Ben in ancient times, and the strength of his arms can knock down two fighting bulls, but he is a little silly, his head is not very bright, and he is more aware of death. Because Qin Qiong passed by Wuliuzhuang when he returned to Shandong four years ago, Luo Shixin mistakenly regarded Qin Qiong as his brother, and he had to follow Qin Qiong alive or dead, but Wang Jun couldn't resist him, so he followed Qin Qiong to Qin's house. And when Zhang Gongjin first arrived at Qin's house, Luo Shixin was feeding ants outside the door, because Wang Junke did not elaborate on Luo Shixin's appearance, he didn't care so much and went straight to the door of Qin's house, but when he was about to enter the door, he was swept back by Luo Shixin's arm, but fortunately, he hit the horse behind him, so there was no big problem. Later, whether Zhang Gongjin said that he knew Wang Junke, or said that he was Qin Qiong's friend, Luo Shixin just didn't let him enter the door, but fortunately, Qin Qiong's wife Jia Shi heard the sound and used Qin's mother to suppress Luo Shixin.

"Master Zhang, when did you meet my uncle?" After Qin's mother, who was sitting in the main hall, finished asking, she found that Zhang Gongjin's demeanor was still a little unnatural, so she turned to Luo Shixin and said, "Shixin, you look at Lord Zhang like this, how can you let Lord Zhang speak?" Listen to your mother's words, you go outside first, and then your mother will call you if you have something! ”

"No! Mother! My brother didn't say he knew him, if he wasn't a good person, I would have to protect my mother and sister-in-law! "Although Luo Shixin's brain is not very good, but he is very stubborn about what he identifies, before he was outside the door, if it wasn't for Jia Shi saying that Qin's mother is old, and going out to entertain guests is not good for his health, he wouldn't let Zhang Gongjin enter the door at all! But even now that Zhang Gongjin has entered the door, he is still not at ease and insists on looking at Zhang Gongjin, unless Qin Qiong comes back to show that he really knows Zhang Gongjin.

"Shixin! Look at it! Jia Shi, who walked in outside the door to make tea, opened his mouth to persuade Luo Shixin: "You turn around and turn your back to Lord Zhang, so that you can't scare Lord Zhang, and Lord Zhang can't do bad things, right?" ”

"Huh......?" Luo Shixin lowered his head and thought for a while, his two eyebrows were almost squeezed together, and finally said: "That's good!" The person immediately turned his back to Zhang Gongjin.

"Lord Zhang, please use tea!" Jia Shi placed a cup of tea in front of Zhang Gongjin, and Zhang Gongjin hurriedly got up and thanked him: "Thank you, Mrs. Qin, Brother Qin is kind to you, and you also call Brother Qin brother, if Mrs. Sister-in-law doesn't treat me as an outsider, just call me Brother Zhang, don't be so polite." ”

Jia Shi nodded and left, and placed another cup of tea in front of Qin's mother before sitting down on Qin's mother's right hand. Seeing this scene, Zhang Gongjin replied: "Old lady, I was on an errand in Luzhou Mansion in the next year, and Brother Qin was assigned to Beiping Mansion five years ago, presumably the old lady and sister-in-law are clear. Zhang Gongjin saw that both of them nodded, and then continued: "Brother Qin went to Beiping Mansion on the way, he accompanied him all the way, and was entrusted by the owner of Erxian Zhuang in Luzhou Mansion to take care of Brother Qin all the way, and when he arrived in Beiping Mansion, Brother Qin had to recognize his aunt and nephew of Jingbian Hou's family, and he was left in Beiping Mansion by Jingbian Hou as an errand boy. A few days ago, the little marquis went to Luoyang, the eastern capital, to pick up his fiancée Girl Zhuang, and the marquis wanted to organize the wedding for the little marquis immediately, but the lady remembered the friendship with the old lady's sister-in-law, and the Qin family is a blood relative of the family, so he sent a special messenger to invite the old lady's family to go to Beiping Mansion to go to the little marquis's wedding banquet. ”

"Cheng'er is getting married!" Mother Qin remembered that in the past five years, the handsome young man who appeared on his birthday every time, now that five years have passed, I didn't expect Luo Cheng to get married, time is like flowing water, the white horse floats through the gap, and it is really fast! But although she wanted to go, she also knew that her body couldn't withstand the dust and dust along the way. Just as he was about to say something, there was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, as well as the sound of questions and answers between adults and children. When these voices came to the outside of the main hall, the four people in the hall had already walked out to greet each other, especially Luo Shixin, as soon as Qin Qiong entered the courtyard, he ran over and grabbed Qin Qiong, pointed at Zhang Gongjin and asked, "Brother!" Brother! Do you think this person is a bad person? ”

"Shixin, this is Brother Zhang, a good person! You go and help your mother into the house first, and then let Huaiyu teach you to read. Qin Qiong hurriedly gave him a reassuring pill.

"Oh! What a man! …… Good! Luo Shixin muttered and walked towards Qin's mother, and Qin Qiong also stepped forward and hugged his fists and asked, "Isn't Brother Zhang serving in Beiping Mansion?" Why do you have time to come to Jinan Mansion? ”

"Brother Qin laughed, brother, I came by order, the little Hou Ye will get married soon, and the Hou Ye sent me to invite Brother Qin's family to go to Beiping Mansion for a banquet." Zhang Gongjin explained the matter of Luoyang one by one, Qin Qiong frowned for a long time, but the answer was: "This matter...... Let me ask my mother. ”

In fact, Qin Qiong didn't want to go to Beiping Mansion, Huanggang's hot potato, although it is not under his control now, but there are few errand officials in Jinan Mansion who have a good relationship with people in the rivers and lakes, let alone the eighteen villages of the Yellow River in Jiuqu. In addition, the people of Eighteen Villages have always been cautious, even if someone is willing to take over the case, I am afraid that there is a life to investigate the case and not to solve the case, and in the end, I am afraid that this matter will have to be smashed on his head, and what he is most afraid of now is this! Now that he has the opportunity to avoid this case, it is exactly what he wants.

Qin Qiong entered the house to inquire about Qin's mother, and Qin's mother was reluctant to go far to Beiping Mansion on the grounds that she was old, but only instructed Jia to accompany her to choose a few gifts, and asked Qin Qiong to take them to Beiping Mansion tomorrow and hand them over to Luo Cheng's mother. And the Jia family is a female streamer, who has never been far away, and is reluctant to go on the grounds that she is taking care of Qin's mother at home. Jia's family didn't go, Qin Huaiyu was not yet ten years old, so naturally he couldn't go with him, as for Luo Shixin, he originally wanted to go, but after hearing that Qin's mother was not going, he resolutely refused to go. Four years ago, he followed Qin Qiong to Qin's house because he mistakenly heard Wang Junke's "Brother Qin" as "Brother Qin", and on the way he kept hearing Qin Qiong say that there was a mother at home, and he was full of hope to see his mother. Now that four years have passed, he has always believed that Qin's mother is his own mother, and Qin's mother also treats him like a parent, if he leaves his mother in order to go to Beiping Mansion, he is a hundred unwilling.

The next day, Qin Qiong asked Lai Huer to take a leave of absence for half a month, and went to Beiping Mansion with Zhang Gongjin with gifts. As soon as he arrived at the gate of Wuliuzhuang, he saw that the original "Wuliuzhuang" had been changed to "Yingting Garden", if he hadn't learned about it from Zhang Gongjin in advance, Qin Qiong would have thought that Wuliuzhuang had been resold to others!

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! I just saw a new swallow flying into the eaves, only to say what kind of happy event entered the door, it turned out that Brother Qin was here, and the poor road was far away, no wonder! Inside the garden gate, Xu Shiji's figure slowly paced out.

"Xinyan enters the house? I'm afraid that when I passed by here a few days ago, a certain chief knew where I was going, and deliberately waited here! Zhang Gongjin teased.

"No clouds, no clouds!" As Xu Shiji spoke, he stepped forward to take Qin Qiong's salute, and was about to lead Qin Qiong into the garden, but when he saw that Qin Qiong had not taken a step for a long time, he asked, "Brother Qin, what's wrong?" ”

Qin Qiong gently took off her coat and said, "Daochang Xu, when I came here four years ago, although it was under the scorching sun, there was a cool smell that covered the whole body, why is it just summer now, but it is already so hot?" ”

"Brother Qin didn't know, at that time, the feng shui here was restricted, and the cold that Brother Qin felt was not because of the weather, but because the yin and yang here have been declining for a long time, so that every time a masculine thing comes here, the yin energy will wear clothes and penetrate the bones, and ordinary people will live here for a long time, and their souls will be detained here after death, and they cannot be reincarnated." After Xu Shiji finished speaking, seeing Qin Qiong's brows tightly wrinkled when he heard this, he hurriedly changed his mouth and said: "But Brother Qin rest assured, a month ago, Brother Wang and I met a nobleman, and he broke the ban here, and now that a month has passed, the situation has improved by half, and Brother Qin can rest assured that he will live here." ”

Qin Qiong saw that Xu Shiji's expression was obviously different when he said "noble", so he asked, "What noble person can make Xu Daochang so moved?" ”

"This person is Xiao Zhuo, the son of Xiao Yu, the former Chinese scholar, after the Xiao clan of Lanling."

"Xiao Zhuo?" While Xu Shiji said a bunch of prefixes, Qin Qiong also asked.

"Brother Qin also knows Xiao Gongzi?" This time it was Xu Shiji's turn to be curious.

"To tell you the truth, more than a month ago, when I escorted him and the Xiao clan back to Luoyang, he once told me that I had three tribulations in my life, and after three tribulations, my future was bright. Now that the first catastrophe has passed, and the second catastrophe is coming, I went to Beiping Mansion this time, saying that I was going to my cousin's wedding banquet, but in fact, it was also for the ......" Qin Qiong said here, and suddenly realized that something was wrong, more than half a month ago, he escorted the Xiao clan back to Luoyang by You Junda, and the robbery of the emperor also happened during this period, and it happened that Xiao Zhuoyan said that after he went back, he would encounter the second catastrophe, which ...... Didn't You Junda do it on purpose?

"Brother Qin, I take the liberty of asking." Xu Shiji was shocked when he heard that Qin Qiong actually wanted to avoid the fateful tribulation, and asked, "Did Xiao Gongzi tell you that if you don't go through this fateful tribulation, what will be the splendid future?" ”

"He didn't say this, just let me do things with my heart, I thought that you Taoist priests pay attention to seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and avoiding robbery should not be considered a disobedient move!"

"This ...... It doesn't seem to count! "Xu Shiji is not easy to say yes or no.

"Brother Qin! You're finally here, and you want to die bro! As soon as Qin Qiong stepped into Yingting Garden with Xu Shiji, Wang Junke's voice sounded behind him. Several people exchanged pleasantries again, and Qin Qiong finally understood that since he learned that Luo Cheng was going to get married, Wang Junke passed a book to the owners of the eighteen villages on the flying pigeon, inviting them to gather in Beiping Mansion to congratulate Luo Cheng. However, due to their identity as a green forest, when they arrived in Beiping Mansion, everyone still used the method of congratulating Qin's mother on her birthday every year, congratulating during the day and drinking at night. And although Qin Qiong arrived here first, since the others had not yet arrived, he had to wait for everyone to gather before going to Beiping Mansion together.

-- Follow-up to the plot

"Brother, is there someone outside the door again?" After Dou Xianniang came back, she told Su Dingfang what was going on outside the door.

"Who?"

"Li Jing."

"What do you bring?"

"A book."

"Please come in! No! I'll go on my own! ”
