Chapter 174: Mother-in-law Enters Beijing
East Palace Yin'an Palace.
Zhu Houzhao teased the pure white Persian cat who was sleeping comfortably with squinted eyes at his feet, while listening to Qin Kan's story.
The Persian cat was bought by Liu Jin with a lot of effort, and even used the connections of the Internal Affairs Office to buy it from the caravan of the Hararu people, Zhu Houzhao was quite happy with it at first, but after teasing it for a few days, he was not interested, because the cat was too arrogant, and the score was bigger than the prince, and the prince was not happy.
What attracts Zhu Houzhao now is the story told by Qin Kan.
“…… Qin Xianglian knelt in the lobby and cried silently, Chen Shimei sneered, he was a relative of the court, Bao Zheng was appointed to Kaifeng Mansion, after all, he was just a courtier, he had already determined that Bao Zheng could not help him, but unexpectedly, Bao Zheng in the hall slapped the hall wood violently, and shouted, "The crime of killing his wife and children is inevitable, and this righteous person will play the dynasty again, come to the people, open the coffin!" Bao Zheng was furious and said, "You don't want to do it, Bao Mou will come in person!" So he got out of the hall and hurriedly walked in front of Chen Shimei, and the proud Chen Shimei suddenly felt a black ...... in front of him"
"Slow, slow! Why is his eyes dark? ”
Qin Kan said with a straight face: "Because he saw Bao Zheng's face......"
Zhu Houzhao smacked his lips, and suddenly Ha Luha laughed wildly, laughing so much that he covered his stomach and kept shouting "ouch".
Qin Kan sighed, Zhu Houzhao's reaction was already expected by him, fortunately he was born in ancient times, if he was born in modern times to watch a "Journey to the West", wouldn't he be laughed to death?
I don't know how long I laughed, Zhu Houzhao slowly eased his breath, and said with a smile: "The story you said is very strange, I have never heard of it, I have heard Master Xie talk about ancient and modern, and I have not heard that there was a horse named Chen Shimei in the former Song Dynasty, it must have been made up by you." ”
Qin Kan said with a smile: "It's not important whether it's true or apocryphal, what matters is the truth." There is indeed such a person as Chen Shimei in history. However, he is a clean official, a good official, and he is hated by traitors because of the fairness of the case. Therefore, he made up such a play, and said that he was a righteous person who killed his wife and children, but the good Qing official was ruined for a lifetime. Even if it has been stinking for hundreds of years, and has practiced in the world for decades, it will eventually be no match for the mouth of a scholar, and the reputation will be ruined if it is ruined, and even arguing will not help......"
Qin Kan said these words a little heavily, thinking about how similar the reputation of Emperor Zhengde hundreds of years later was to Chen Shimei's experience.
Zhu Houzhao seemed to have an understanding, and said with a smile: "Your story is wonderful, I want to solve the case like Bao Longtu." Think of sitting in the lobby, slapping the startled wood and screaming to open the guillotine. And the traitor was struck by me. Hundreds of people applauded, it was really enjoyable! ”
Qin Kan smiled and said, "Your Highness's golden body." In the future, he will face courtiers and officials, and he will be the most important weapon of the country, but he will not be a criminal who is a traitor, and His Royal Highness will judge that kind of person. ”
Zhu Houzhao sighed and said: "I would rather try those prisoners every day than face the courtiers and officials, and I can't beat the courtiers, scold them, and listen to their constant nagging every day, just like I have become a prisoner in their eyes. ”
Qin Kan's eyes blinked, and he said, "Since His Highness likes to try cases, maybe ...... There will be a chance soon. ”
***************************************************************
Opportunities are created by people, Qin Kan never believes in good luck from the sky, and behind the ordinary good luck often means that he has to pay a greater price, and the opportunities he creates can be completely controlled in his hands.
Du Hong is still on the way to Beijing, Qin Kan has begun to make careful preparations, I don't know what kind of powerful people lurk behind the incident, I don't know what kind of murderous motives are hidden, but Qin Kan has no choice but to face it head-on, just because he made a lifelong promise when he married Du Yan, not only can he not bear her, but he also can't bear her family.
On the street of Dongcheng in Beijing, pedestrians came and went, a middle-aged beautiful woman wrapped in a headscarf, wearing an ordinary floral coarse cloth jacket, holding a small baggage, wandering on the side of the street, looking haggard and at a loss, at a loss.
Several street drums sounded, pedestrians on the street avoided one after another, the beautiful woman did not know why, followed the pedestrians to avoid the side, and faintly heard someone talking in her ears, saying that it was the chariot of the prince's travel, and the beautiful woman's eyes suddenly lit up.
When the honor guard approached, the beautiful woman's eyes carefully patrolled the honor guard samurai, I don't know how long it took, the honor guard was almost over, the beautiful woman couldn't help but get up, separated the pedestrians in front of her, and walked towards the honor guard, and was stopped by the vigilant samurai before she got close.
"The prince's guard of honor is here, quickly avoid, don't approach!"
The beautiful woman seemed to be frightened, gritted her teeth, and still walked forward and said, "I'm not looking for the prince, I'm looking for Qin Kan, Qin Kan is here?" ”
"Stop! Don't get close! The samurai raised his sword.
The beautiful woman was a little angry, and said stubbornly: "I'm looking for Qin Kan, you know it, you know it, if you don't know it, you don't know it, what are you shouting nonsense?" ”
The samurai was furious, strode towards her, stretched out his hand to take her down, the beautiful woman's eyes flashed, lightning grabbed the samurai's wrist, hooked his feet, the samurai fell on his back, the rest of the samurai were shocked when they saw this, raised their swords and faced her, shouting "someone has assassinated" in their mouths, and instantly surrounded the beautiful women, everyone looked like they were facing a great enemy, and there was chaos on the streets of Jingshi.
Qin Kan had been following closely beside Zhu Houzhao's chariot, hearing the noise ahead, his heart tightened, but Zhu Houzhao in the chariot lifted the jade curtain, poked his head out and said excitedly: "What's the situation?" Who's going to kill me? ”
Qin Kan was speechless for a while, what a dead child......
Nervously pressed Zhu Houzhao's head into the chariot, and the warriors raised their shields in a well-trained manner, surrounding the chariot tightly in the wind, and Zhu Houzhao's head poked out unrelentingly: "Let me see, I've never seen an assassin look like...... Hey? It's a woman? And it's so skilled......"
Turning his head and glancing at Qin Kan strangely, Zhu Houzhao seemed to evoke a painful memory, and muttered: "Why are women more ferocious than the other in these years? If you are lucky enough to be married back to your town, shouldn't someone dare to marry this woman? ”
Qin Kan stood on tiptoe and looked at the beautiful woman surrounded by the samurai, stared at it for a long time, his expression suddenly changed greatly, and he stared blankly at the front without saying a word.
Zhu Houzhao saw that Qin Kan had no reaction, and couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong with you?" Why do you have the same look of a ghost? ”
Qin Kan came back to his senses, raised his hand and shouted at the warrior: "Stop!" ”
Turning around, Qin Kan's cheeks twitched slightly, and he bowed to Zhu Hou and said, "Your Highness, this woman is also someone who dares to marry......"
"Who would dare to marry?"
“…… Chen's father-in-law. ”
Zhu Houzhao was also stunned, looked at Qin Kan for a long time, and sighed: "Your family is really ...... Hehe, full of strong men. ”
**************************************************************
Du Hong was still on his way to Beijing, but Qin Kan didn't expect his mother-in-law Du Wangshi to come to Beijing unexpectedly.
The top pillar was arrested by the Jinyi guard, there is no one in the family who can take the idea, Du Wang's family can not be anxious, although she is a heroine among women, with extraordinary skills, but after all, it is just a woman's family, as soon as she encounters a major event, she panics, thinking about it, she only has a daughter who has been married out, and the letter sent back by her daughter said that her father-in-law is a capable person, and now he is a close minister of the East Palace who has won the trust of His Royal Highness the Prince, and there is such a big thing in the family, Du Wang's family can not think of any other way except to go to Beijing to find his son-in-law to get ideas.
Because I don't know where Qin Kan and his daughter live, I only know that Qin Kan is now accompanying the East Palace, so there is a scene of Du Wang's colliding with the prince's honor guard on the street.
The so-called assassination was just a misunderstanding, and the samurai who protected the prince dispersed.
Du Wangshi, who was dazed and helpless, saw the young face of his son-in-law Qin Kan at first glance, and suddenly seemed to have found the backbone of the heart, and after many days of panic and fear, all the worried and worried mood from south to north relaxed, and Yang Tian breathed a sigh of relief, and tears couldn't stop falling.
…………
…………
After taking leave from Zhu Houzhao, Qin Kan led Du Wang's family back to settle down.
On the way, Du Wangshi sniffled, wiped away his tears, his pretty face regained his fortitude, as if telling a very ordinary thing, and said quietly: "Qin Kan, your father-in-law was taken by Jinyiwei. ”
"Zheng Bo came to Beijing to report the news, and the son-in-law already knew the way. The father-in-law's case has now been taken over by Dongchang, and the situation is getting more and more serious. ”
Du Wangshi stared at Qin Kan's somewhat bitter face, and suddenly changed the topic, and said, "Yan'er follows you, are you happy?" ”
Qin Kan smiled: "This question should be asked to Yan'er, if the son-in-law answers, he will be suspected of boasting." ”
Du Wang also smiled and said, "It seems that Yan'er is not doing badly, otherwise you wouldn't have the face to brag." …… Qin Kan, I still remember that when you led people to break into the inner courtyard of the Shaoxing Yamen, intending to snatch Yan'er back, Yan'er was so moved that she was so determined by you that she was dead set on you, and the facts show that Yan'er's decision was correct. ”
After a pause, Du Wangshi looked up at the gray sky, and said in a sad tone: "I thought he was in the hands of Jinyiwei, and things were okay, I just came to Beijing thousands of miles away, but I was taken over by Dongchang, although I am a woman, but I also know the name of Dongchang, and he ...... Most of them can't be saved, Qin Kan, I know that you must be working hard for your father-in-law, but your father-in-law's case is very deep, and the danger behind it is abnormal, if you have the heart, you will collect the bodies of your father-in-law and me in the future and bury them, don't rescue him again, the Du family has been broken, and you can no longer be involved in the Qin family's suffering, and the sky will fall into trouble, and there is no need to harm the two ......families."
Qin Kan interrupted her and said, "What did my mother-in-law say!" The son-in-law married Yan'er, Du Qin is already a family, where did the two come from? No matter how deep the water is or how dangerous the situation is, I can save my father-in-law! ”
