readx;?readx; Chapter 223 The prince who sacrificed for his ideals

The 'monster' was secretly congratulating himself on having escaped, but after Qin Lei finished training, he strode up to him again, and asked with a smile, "Where are your muscles?" Why is there only skin and bones left? It's obvious that there's a lack of exercise! ”

The monster secretly screamed bad luck, so he had to stand there with his chest up, waiting for the prince's order, "Go, find Xu Qi as a companion." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" had to respond loudly, turned around and ran out.

Qin Lei stood in the middle of the team, and just as he was about to speak, he heard the monster outside shouting: "Report to the instructor, the table is too small, and the butt of the hole is too big, and the subordinates can't squeeze it!" ”

Qin Lei sighed helplessly: "Youkai, you can come back." The non-commissioned officer strode back, but there was no trace of excitement on his face, he couldn't believe that the prince would be so kind.

Sure enough, I only heard Qin Lei say slowly: "Let's move a coffee table from the house......"

Dong Mi said that it was okay, and responded loudly: "Yes!" So he moved a coffee table from the house and ran out on his back......

Qin Lei didn't blame the two crutches outside, turned his gaze back to the queue, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you know what went wrong today?" ”

There was silence in the procession, and no one dared to speak. Qin Lei didn't care, and pointed at one casually: "Xu Tan, you can answer." ”

Xu Tan's throat tightened, and he said loudly: "Report to the instructor, we shouldn't make noise for no reason......

"Let's move a table out" Qin Lei didn't blink, walked to the next one, and said in a deep voice: "You say!" ”

"Report to the instructor, we shouldn't set up a gambling ......"

"Let's move the table."

This old man had no choice but to carry a large square table with the one who was there, and ran out quickly.

Qin Lei continued to walk forward and asked the third one, "You say." ”

"Report to the instructor, we didn't put what you taught into practice and failed your hard work!" As he spoke, his eyes were already looking around the room, hoping to find something like a table or coffee table......

Who Cheng thought Qin Lei nodded and said with a smile: "It's a little bit of a side, you are half right." ”

The black-clothed guard was suddenly relieved, and just said in his heart, Shen Bi was good, but he heard the prince say lightly: "Move the table out......"

Don't wait like this, this old man was dumbfounded, and said in a lost voice: "Didn't I get half the answer right?" How is the same treatment? ”

Qin Lei said 'oh', and smiled apologetically, "It really can't be the same, at least half of your body can't be punished." Saying that, the smile became more kind: "Then don't move the table, don't take a horse step, move a stool to the golden rooster**......"

Qin Lei continued to train them one by one until he drove out all the black-clothed guards, either by taking a horse step or taking a big top......

There was only one black-clothed guard left in the room who was treating the fourth child, and he had finished the work at hand, squatting on the ground and tilting his head, and said pitifully: "Lord Wang, the fourth master has woken up." ”

Qin Lei nodded, and said with a gentle smile: "Go move a chair......"

The black-clothed guard who was squatting on the ground lamented in his heart, it turned out that the prince had planned to serve us in a pot early in the morning. got up and obediently moved a chair, bowed his head and walked out.

"Come back...... Where are you going to move the chair? Qin Lei asked strangely.

"Go out......" The black-clothed guard whispered, "Take the big top and ......"

"That's how you want to get the big top? Lone asked you to move a chair for me to sit on, but didn't let you out. Qin Lei said with a depressed face.

The black-clothed guard moved the chair behind Qin Lei aggrievedly, and said softly, "Lord Wang, please take a seat." ”

Qin Lei nodded, flicked his clothes, and sat down on the chair with a big sword. But seeing the black-clothed guard standing next to him with a worried face, Qin Lei opened his mouth and comforted him: "Don't worry, Lone won't punish you......"

The black-clothed guard smiled gratefully, but still said in a hesitant voice: "Lord Wang, my subordinates want to apply for a ...... with you."

"What's the matter?" Qin Lei asked with interest.

"The subordinates want to go out and get the big top ......," the black-clothed guard snorted. Everyone is out, and it's not good for me to be alone in the house......"

'Whew', breathing a sigh of relief, Qin Lei nodded and said, "It makes sense, but there is only this chair in the room, and I still have to sit alone, so I can only wronged you to go out and squeeze with them." As he spoke, he looked out and said in surprise: "I think that square table is quite wide, it should be fine." ”

The black-clothed guard shrank his neck and whispered, "Then I'm out......" As soon as the words fell, he ran out as if he was running away.

In the room, only Qin Lei was sitting on a chair, and the fourth child lying on the ground.

"Don't pretend to be dead when you're awake." Qin Lei said coldly. His voice was ten times stiffer than when he spoke to the black-clothed guard.

The one lying on the ground really slowly opened his eyes, looked around blankly, and finally his eyes fell on Qin Lei, who was dressed as a scribe. The fourth child has been awake for a while, but he walked in the ghost gate, which really frightened him, and when he really came back to his senses, it was the black-clothed guard who took care of him just now when he got up to talk to Qin Lei.

He had already heard the black-clothed guard call the white-faced scribe 'prince', but he couldn't remember that the royal family had such a yin prince. Could this be the underworld...... The fourth thought absurdly.

But Qin Lei had to suppress his anger to hold back from stepping on his face, but he had no interest in talking nonsense with him. Without a trace of emotion, he said: "I guess you also know your fate." ”

The fourth man said in his heart, this voice sounds familiar, but I haven't heard it for a long time, could it be ...... His eyes widened suddenly, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Qin Lei...... You are Qin Lei......"

Qin Lei snorted coldly, which could be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

"Why are you so old?" The fourth asked nervously.

shook Qin Lei, who had been holding the shelf, a little depressed, and removed the disguised materials under him with some depression, restoring his original appearance.

Seeing that it was really Qin Lei, Qin Ji suddenly became excited, and hissed: "Xiao Wu is really you," as he spoke, he got up and hugged Qin Lei's thigh, and cried: "Brother, brother can't stand you." Before I hanged myself, I was still thinking that if I hadn't moved those bad intentions with you at the beginning, I wouldn't have been forced to hang myself today. I'm sorry for you, wow......"

In fact, as soon as the fourth child pounced, Qin Lei wanted to kick him away, but he also knew that in that case, he would completely collapse with the fourth child, rather than saving him in the future and making him hold a grudge, it was better to chop him up with a knife now. Resisting the urge to raise his feet and kick people, Qin Lei looked at the fourth child holding his thighs and crying and howling without saying a word.

After crying for a while, seeing that Qin Lei still didn't react, the fourth brother stopped crying and sobbed: "The fourth brother is dying, can't you forgive me for this moment?" ”

Qin Lei saw that he had a lot of snot and tears, but he couldn't tell what he felt in his heart. Moved his right leg slightly, pushed Qin Ji's fat face farther away, and said lightly: "Who said you were dying?" ”

The fourth child's round face wrinkled into a chrysanthemum, and he said miserably: "Yesterday, my grandfather, Zhao Jili, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said when he came to visit, he said that Wen Yanbo's people have already handled this case as an iron case, and even my father and emperor will not be able to overturn the case." ”

Qin Lei nodded and did not speak. Seeing that he fell silent, Qin Ji thought that he was simply here to visit the prison, let go of Qin Lei's calves, sat cross-legged on the ground and said bitterly: "Hey, now that it's over, I don't blame anyone, I just blame me for not being able to do anything, and always thinking of using some conspiracy to blackmail others." How can I think that without real strength, all plans are a joke in the eyes of others, and people are really unhappy, they can take back what they gave you before at any time, and then beat you into the eighteenth layer of hell with their backhand. ”

Qin Lei glanced at the fourth child with a gray face in slight surprise, it seemed that this blow had made him understand a lot of things. Thinking of this, Qin Lei said in a deep voice: "Yes, your biggest problem is short-sightedness, narrow-mindedness, more than intrigues, and insufficient pattern and bearing. I don't know who to unite with, I don't know who to deal with. And he is extremely greedy, and he doesn't know how to advance or retreat, but he doesn't know that your little trick is just a disgusting low-level joke in the eyes of a real strongman. If he doesn't reform himself, he will be lucky to escape this scene today, and he will inevitably go away with the dragon slashing knife in the future! ”

The fourth child felt that Qin Lei's every word would remove a layer of disguise from him, exposing his stupid and incompetent true image in broad daylight little by little, leaving him with no place to be ashamed but nowhere to hide. I could only listen with a red face, but when I heard the end, my eyes suddenly widened, Huo De half-knelt up, grabbed Qin Lei's shirt tightly, and begged in a begging voice: "What did you say?" Did I hear me right? Do you have a way to save the fourth brother? ”

Qin Lei didn't say yes or no, but said in a deep voice: "Answer me a few questions first!" Qin Ji nodded like pounding garlic and said: "Fifth brother, just ask, brother, I know everything." ”

Qin Lei asked, "Miss Nian Yao was arranged by you to be with Gu at the beginning, why did you kidnap her back?" ”

Qin Ji got up from the ground and wanted to find a chair to sit on, but he found that it was empty, and the tables and chairs that were originally full of rooms were gone, but he didn't want his subordinates to stand and reply, so he had to sit cross-legged on the carpet again and look up at Qin Lei on the chair.

Qin Lei pretended not to see his embarrassment, and just waited for him to speak. The fourth child scratched his head vigorously and said depressedly: "This matter is a bit evil, but we have to start from the beginning." You also know that I was originally in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but I only took over the errand of the household department later, and I had no time to separate, so I switched with the third brother. ”

Qin Lei nodded, motioned for him to continue, and said with guilt: "In the spring of last year, there were rumors from the government and the opposition that the treasury was tight and the household was rotten. My third brother and I combined, this may be an opportunity......"

"How?" Qin Lei saw that he not only had to answer his own questions, but also explain the whole thing clearly, and he was quite satisfied with his attitude.

"The two of us have been partial to arithmetic since childhood, and when we grew up, we were sent by our father to serve the province and the inner government on errands, and it turned out that we both had some strengths in money and grain management, and we were also good at making a living. But you also know that these things are small ways, and those ministers praise the two of us as powerful as Bai Gui Tao Zhu on the surface, but behind the scenes, they talk about it, saying that we are all over the place, and we are full of copper stench......"

The fourth gritted his teeth and continued: "I don't understand, if there are no characters like us who are full of copper smell, how can they enjoy the abalone and sea cucumber on the coast of the East China Sea, the coconut banana at the end of the world, these rare things, how can they wear the Su silk of Southern Chu and the silk of Eastern Qi!" Not to mention where did their wealth come from? It's not earned by the combination of government and business! ”

The fourth child spread his hands excitedly and complained loudly to Qin Lei: "This is not fair! While enjoying the abundant wealth brought by us so-called 'profiteers', they wantonly belittle, slander, exclude and suppress us! It's not fair! ”

Qin Lei couldn't imagine that this old man was actually a little idealistic, and couldn't help but sigh lightly: "This is a disadvantage that has been handed down for thousands of years, and it is not something we can change." ”

The fourth shook his head violently and said, "No, how do you know if you haven't tried?" Soon became frustrated again, and said softly: "At that time, the third brother also persuaded me like this, but I didn't listen. ”

Qin Lei nodded and asked in a deep voice, "What does this have to do with Nian Yao?" ”

The fourth brother said: "At that time, I naively thought that as long as I could take over the household department smoothly, with the ability of me and the third brother, I would definitely be able to reverse the deficit of the treasury and impress everyone." So I've been fighting for the director of the household department, but at that time, I heard that my younger brother who had been in the Qi country for sixteen years came back, and I also heard that the second brother intended to recommend you to the household department. As soon as I heard this, I was anxious, thinking that we hadn't met since we met anyway, and there was nothing wrong with cutting your face, so I ......"

"Just swap my wine for a burnt knife?" Qin Lei asked with a smile, it has been a long time since the incident, and he has already taken revenge, and the resentment at that time has also changed a little now, which is a little funny when he thinks about it.

The fourth child looked embarrassed and said, "Well, the ceremonial banquet was all arranged by me......"

Qin Lei scolded in a low voice: "You are stupid enough, you are rushing to do something that is too late for others to avoid suspicion." Don't say anything about making enemies for yourself, if I really fall that day, it won't be my face that I will lose, but the little face left in our royal family! ”

The fourth child said: "When I thought about it later, I really felt that it was inappropriate. But since I was a child, I was used to doing things unscrupulously, and I developed a problem of only thinking about the benefits before doing it, and regretting the disadvantages after doing it. ”

said and said, "Fifth brother, just forgive me, my brother won't compensate you." ”

Qin Lei frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Let's get down to business, don't interrupt!" ”

Qin Ji nodded embarrassedly, and continued: "In addition to wanting you to lose someone, I also went to the Yeting Palace in advance, and I wanted to find a bold troublemaker to throw to you." As soon as I went, I saw a tall and beautiful girl, holding a broom and chasing Mama Xi. I asked the steward to find out that this girl's name is Nian Yao, and she was just deceived by her lazy gambler's father into selling it in the Yeting Palace that day, but this girl has a big temper, and after figuring out the situation, she began to go crazy, and taught Mama Xi to let her take off her clothes and check, but she was chased and beaten. ”

Qin Lei's brows furrowed even tighter, and he said coldly: "I know it all the way until Nian Yao is in a coma, so why do you want to snatch this girl back." ”

Qin Ji saw that Qin Lei's face was not worried, and said casually: "Brother, don't be angry with your brother anymore, how did you know her identity at that time, I just thought she was a girl from a poor family." I just want the second brother of the fake Taoist to not wait to see me, I don't want to do anything to you. Forgive me, brother. For a nobleman like him, the common people are like playthings in the dirt, even if they are wantonly played and trampled, they will not have any guilt, let alone guilt.

Qin Lei patted the handrail impatiently, and said in a low voice: "You talk nonsense again, isolate the horse and leave, no matter what you shit." ”

Although Qin Lei said it harshly, Qin Ji smiled when he heard it, how could he not hear that Qin Lei's tone had loosened, and even said that he would help himself in disguise. Hurriedly nodded and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I'll say I'll say it." ”

said with some embarrassment: "A few months after this happened, I almost forgot about it." But one day, the steward of my house reported that there was a scoundrel outside who claimed to have important news for me. ”

Qin Lei said in a deep voice: "That's Nian Yao's father? ”

"Yes, it's not." The third child said awkwardly: "He said that he had raised his daughter for others for sixteen or seventeen years, and only then did he know that Nian Yao was not his own, so he wanted to use her father's identity to exchange some money to pay off gambling debts." Said a little funny: "That fool has never seen the market, and he will ask for two thousand taels when he opens his mouth." ”

"You gave it to him?" Qin Lei asked curiously.

"Speaking of the ...... of a thousand taels," Qin Ji said proudly. Seeing Qin Lei's disdain, he hurriedly explained: "These scoundrels are the most greedy, if I agree, he will definitely think that he has suffered a loss, and he will have to make trouble." ”

Qin Lei said depressedly: "I said the third child, you can't talk about the point?" I don't know if my time is precious? He glared and said, "Say! Who is Nian Yao's father? ”

"Wen Yanbo!" The three words were crisp and neat, and almost made Qin Lei slide off the chair.
