Chapter 279: Sooner or later, catch them all
When Xie Qin saw Qi Wenfu, he saw him in a very good mood.
The usual cold eyebrows and eyes were dyed with a faint smile, and even the corners of his mouth were slightly raised with a smile.
Xie Qin smiled: "Lord Qi, what good things have happened to you?" ”
The smile on Qi Wenfu's lips retracted a little: "Lord Xie said that he laughed, now that there is a mess in Beijing, how can there be any good thing." ”
Xie Qin raised his eyebrows, hearing his perfunctory meaning, seeing that he refused to say, although he was curious, he didn't ask too much, just led Qi Wenfu into the house and sat down, and asked people to bring tea over.
Qi Wenfu took a sip of tea and asked, "How is Old Madam Xie?" ”
Xie Qin sighed: "What else." ”
"Friends for decades, betrayal when they say betrayal, and it is difficult for anyone to accept it. Mother's most important feelings, on the surface it seems to be nothing, but in my heart I am afraid that it will be difficult to get better for a while. ”
When Qi Wenfu heard this, he said: "It's better to be sad for a while than to be kept in the dark all the time." ”
"That Yue Rong can deceive the old lady for many years, I'm afraid the plan is not small."
Xie Qin naturally understands this truth, some things are better than short pain.
What's more, Yue Rong tried his best to deceive Mrs. Xie, but secretly conspired with others to station troops, and even took advantage of the natural disaster in Jingnan to do such a heartbreaking thing, which is not vicious.
If this kind of person is always hidden by his side, it will be a great scourge.
Xie Qin said: "How is the trial on the Bo family's side? ”
Qi Wenfu replied: "It's almost tried, with Bo Xi confessing in front, what the Bo family did at the beginning was shaken off, and the black pot on the second prince has been decided, and within half a month at the latest, there will be a result on the side of the Bo family and the second prince." ”
Xie Qin heard this, and his eyes crossed the clouds, and he said in a low voice: "It's a pity that I didn't catch the person in the dark." ”
Qi Wenfu turned his fingers around the lid of the teacup and said coldly:
"The reason is clear, the retribution is not happy, this time the Bo family and the second prince have been solved, their arms and covers are broken, if they want to do anything next time, as long as they dare to do something, they will show their traces, and how can they hide themselves in the dark like now."
"What's more, although he didn't catch everyone, the more Rong showed his traces, as long as you keep an eye on him, you may not be able to find the remaining people."
Qi Wenfu did not mention Empress Dowager Qian, let alone tell Xie Qin what he said to Su Ruan before.
It's not that he suspects that Xie Qin will leak secrets, and it's not that he doesn't trust the Xie family, but if his and Su Ruan's speculation is true, then the last Jingnan incident and the case of household corruption are a shocking situation.
can hide in it for many years, never show up, and even take the Bo family and others to be used, how can they be ordinary people.
Although Xie Qin is serious, if some secrets are known, they will inevitably show traces when they are on errands in the government office, and there is no evidence to prove this matter at the moment, plus Su Ruan did not mention it in front of Xie Qin just now, obviously he didn't want the people of the Xie family to interfere in it.
Even if Su Ruan didn't say anything, Qi Wenfu knew Su Ruan's mind inexplicably.
Xie Qin heard Qi Wenfu's persuasion, nodded and said, "What you said is also reasonable, those secret rats will catch them all sooner or later." ”
After Xie Qin was appeased by Qi Wenfu for a few words, his mood calmed down a lot, and after he filled Qi Wenfu with tea, Qi Wenfu said: "By the way, Lord Xie, how are those Jingnan people in front of the palace gate being settled?" ”
Those people knelt in front of the palace gate with Su Ruan that day, and after forcing Emperor Ming Xuan to show up, many of them injured their bodies because they knelt for too long.
Qiwen Mansion was suspected by Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty, and was later "grounded" in the mansion, so he could only ask the people of Xuanping Houfu to take care of those people.
Hearing this, Xie Qin said, "Don't worry, Lord Qi, they are all fine." ”
"After rescuing those people from the palace gate that day, my mother personally placed them in the courtyard of the house, and even ordered someone to hire a doctor, as well as a guard to protect them."
"It's just that during this time, there are many people looking for them outside, and my mother is afraid that someone will want to kill them, so she secretly separates people into several groups and places them separately."
"If Lord Qi wants to see them, I can take you there at any time."
Qi Wenfu shook his head when he heard this: "It's not gone for the time being, I am now attracting the emperor's eyes, and there are many people in the court staring." ”
"The Bo family is in trouble, I don't know how many people want to fall into the ground, and even take this opportunity to implicate others, the old Jingnan case is already very wide-ranging, these people need to be well protected, lest they be exploited and used to deal with other people in the DPRK."
The Bo family and the second prince deserve it, and those people in Jingnan are just avenging their relatives, and no one can blame them.
But if they are used by someone with a heart to do something else, or even implicate innocent people in the Jingnan case, the chaos that will cause at that time will not be solved casually.
Xie Qin naturally understood this truth, nodded and said: "Don't worry, Lord Qi, I know this truth, I will definitely not let people find loopholes in them and cause trouble." ”
After finishing speaking, Xie Qin seemed to remember something, and said:
"By the way, speaking of those people, I suddenly remembered something."
"Master Qi, do you still remember that young man who was with Ruan Ruan before the palace gate that day?"
Qi Wenfu was slightly stunned when he heard this, frowned and thought about it before he said, "You mean the child who knelt with Su Ruan to the end and didn't faint until the emperor left the palace gate?" ”
Xie Qin nodded: "That's him." ”
"What's wrong with him?" Qi Wenfu frowned.
Xie Qin said: "That child was seriously injured, and his body was worse than Ruan Ruan, and he had a high fever for several days before he finally picked up a life. ”
"After that kid woke up, he clamored to come to find Ruan Ruan, but the situation in our mansion Lord Qi also knows, how many people have their eyes on Ruan Ruan, and I am afraid that taking him over rashly will cause trouble."
"Ruan Ruan's temperament, Lord Qi also knows, if she knew about that child, I'm afraid she wouldn't stand idly by, so my mother and I have been hiding it from her."
Qi Wenfu frowned when he heard this, "Did he say what to do with Su Ruan?" ”
Xie Qin shook his head: "No, he has always said that he wants to find Ruan Ruan, and he refuses to open his mouth no matter what he asks." ”
Qi Wenfu was a little strange when he heard Xie Qin's words, and after thinking about it, he said:
"Lord Xie is worried that Su Ruan is on the cusp of the storm right now, and before the emperor let her out of the palace, he had already said that she was not allowed to do anything again, if the emperor knew that she had dealings with those people in Jingnan, I am afraid that she would be dissatisfied."
He paused and said:
"It's better for Lord Xie to hand him over to me, and I'll take him back to take care of him."
