The case of the Arsenal Division of the Ministry of War is getting bigger and bigger, and it can be said that it has involved the attention of the entire capital, and everyone is paying attention to this matter. Compared with the salt administration case a few days ago, this case is naturally more concerned because of its close distance and involvement.

When the news of Zhao Xuan's suicide by hanging himself came out of the Ministry of War's arsenal, many people suddenly felt sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox.

Especially after Zhang Whale of Dongchang personally led people to raid Zhao Xuan's home, many officials were even more frightened, and many people began to plead for mercy. The reason is that there are all kinds of words, and there is basically one meaning, which is not right.

Xining Hou Mansion.

The entire Xining Hou Mansion has been very busy these days, although Xining Hou has thought about it behind closed doors at home, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that this matter has not yet reached the time when the dust has settled. As long as the affairs of the Qian family are not finished, the affairs of the Marquis of Xining will not be finished.

In the living room of the Marquis of Xining's mansion, Song Yi, Marquis of Xining, had a gloomy face, reached out and picked up the teacup in front of him, and took a sip of it.

Glancing at the middle-aged man sitting below, Song Yi's face became even more ugly, and after a while, Song Yi put down the teacup in his hand and said to the middle-aged man, "What do you want to do?" What do you think is the capital? ”

The middle-aged man didn't care about Song Yi's attitude, he just smiled and said, "What is the capital?" It's not just a place. ”

Song Yi looked at the middle-aged man, stretched out his hand and put the teacup on the table: "If you say so, then the bridge will return to the bridge, the road will return to the road, and we can't afford to play with your Qian family in the Xining Hou Mansion, so you can do whatever you want!" ”

Without waiting for the middle-aged man to speak, a woman came in at the door, it was Mrs. Xining Hou.

"What's the matter, this is, how long has the concubine just left, why did they quarrel." Mrs. Xining Hou walked to Xining Hou Song Yi's side with a smile, and then turned to the middle-aged man and scolded: "Don't talk to your brother-in-law like this, what is it like, where have you learned the rules of the family?" ”

This kind of middle-aged man is none other than the sister-in-law of the Qian family, Qian Biao, the younger brother of Mrs. Xining Hou.

Qian Biao shrugged his shoulders, looking indifferent, in fact, for Xining Hou Songyi, the Qian family didn't think much of it. If it weren't for the fact that the old man had to marry the Marquis of Xining back then, how could his sister marry the straw bag of Xining Marquis Songyi.

How good his sister was back then, how many young talents liked his sister, and he couldn't take his turn Song Yi.

Seeing her younger brother's appearance, Mrs. Xining Hou's face also sank, sat on the chair, and said lightly: "Since you don't want to talk well, then don't talk about it, our Xining Hou Mansion is a small family, not as good as your Hejian Qian family, come here, send guests!" ”

Xining Hou Songyi glanced at his wife, and subconsciously shrunk his neck, his life was ruined by this woman's salty and indifferent attitude.

In fact, Mrs. Xining Hou knew very well that this time she didn't feel so easy at this level, and the last time she went to the British Mansion, she was valued by the British Duke and met herself. Mrs. Xining Hou also knew that it was probably because of her daughter.

Although the British Duke did not say it too bluntly, the meaning was obvious, this time the emperor was not targeting the Qian family in Hejian, nor was it aimed at the Marquis of Xining.

For the Xining Hou Mansion and the Qian family, the best way is for the emperor to do what he asks him to do, don't stop in front, otherwise even if the emperor can't do what he wants to do, the Xining Hou Mansion and the Qian family of Hejian Mansion will also feel that it will become the emperor's sacrifice for the flag.

Although she really wants to help the Qian family, Mrs. Xining Hou also knows that there are some things that are better not to say it than to say it yourself.

Seeing her brother's attitude today, Mrs. Xining Hou made up her mind that no matter whether she could help the Qian family this time or not, the Xining Hou Mansion would not participate. The matter of keeping all the nobles silent and making the British government need to avoid suspicion is definitely not the result of their participation in the Xining Marquis Mansion.

Although I don't know why the emperor chose the Xining Hou Mansion, and I don't know what the emperor wants to do, the Xining Hou Mansion can't be a roadblocker.

After listening to her sister's words and looking at her sister's appearance, Qian Biao hurriedly said: "Sister, no matter how you say this, no matter how we say it, we are all a family." The family just felt that it was not appropriate for the Xining Hou Mansion to do things, so why did they go to the palace to ask for guilt. ”

Mrs. Xining Hou smiled: "You think that the Xining Hou Mansion has sold you, right?" ”

Although Qian Biao didn't speak, Mrs. Xining Hou also knew that he was acquiescing, and sneered disdainfully, Mrs. Xining Hou pointed at Qian Biao and said, "It's really arrogant to the extreme!" ”

"You sell illicit salt, who in the capital doesn't know? It's just that in the past, everyone turned a blind eye, you took care of the civil officials, and Xungui supported us in the Xining Hou Mansion on the side, so there was no trouble. ”

"What do you think is a secret? Everyone makes money from the salt works, and no one knows whose bottom is the bottom. ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Xining Hou said directly: "Let me tell you, if you listen to us, then obediently go back to Hejian Mansion, find Qincha, and confess all the affairs of the Sun family." ”

"You can put the responsibility on Yao Renkang of the Changlu Salt Farm and Ding Youguang, the Changlu Transit Envoy."

Qian Biao was stunned for a moment, and his face sank: "Sister, if you admit the crime, it will be the crime of robbing the house and killing the head, how can you admit this crime?" Do you want to use the Qian family to keep the Xining Hou Mansion? I'm not the only one who has entered Beijing this time. ”

"There are a lot of salt merchants from various places, and they won't watch the Qian family being cleaned up."

Mrs. Xining Hou looked at Qian Biao, and only after a while did she speak: "You actually think that I abandoned the Qian family to protect the Xining Hou Mansion?" Speaking of this, Mrs. Xining Hou smiled, pointed to the door and said, "Get out!" ”

Qian Biao bowed his hand with a dark face, turned around and walked outside.

Mrs. Xining Hou's body shook, Song Yi hurriedly held on to the side, and carefully pressed her chest: "Madam, madam, don't be angry, don't be angry, you can't do it, Qian Biao is not a word." ”

Sitting down with a wry smile, Mrs. Xininghou took Xininghou's hand and said with a smile: "After so many years, Xianggong has been wronged. ”

"The concubine knows, the people of the Qian family feel that the concubine marrying you is wronged by the concubine, and some people said that the grandfather clings to the powerful, but only the concubine knows that marrying into the Xining Hou Mansion is the blessing of the concubine, so many concubines are very grateful to their grandfather, and they are grateful to him for marrying the concubine into the Xining Hou Mansion."

"You have suffered a lot of grievances in the affairs of the Qian family over the years, and the concubine knows that this time the concubine will not let you suffer this kind of grievance again."

"At the moment when Qian Biao left, the concubine seemed to have a little bit of grandfather's wisdom, and the concubine seemed to know what the emperor was going to do, and it may be that grandpa blessed her in heaven." Speaking of this, Mrs. Xining Hou took Song Yi's hand and said, "The British prince is right, our Xining Hou Mansion can't afford to participate in this matter!" ”
