Chapter 206: Establishment of the Bureau (1)
In the next few days, the Qin family's life was completely disrupted by Cao Guozhang.
Cao Guozhang would order someone to meet Qin Huaiyuan almost every day, at first it was sarcastic and confrontational, and later it was Cao Guozhang who personally led people to search around Qin's house for the so-called evidence. Don't say that the courtyards that have been locked up, even the old Taijun's Cixiao Garden has been turned upside down.
The so-called search is not a serious investigation, but a deliberate attempt to spoil the Qin family's things - turning out the bookshelves and cabinets and throwing them on the ground and trampling on them at will, even the Shuorenzhai where the girls live has not been spared, not to mention the books on the shelves and the decorations on the Duobao Pavilion, and even the clothes that are put away in the cage for winter have been turned out, and the house is full of messes, as if it has been robbed by bandits.
The second master's official position in the Ministry of Rites was also caught by Cao Guozhang in a mistake and participated in a book, insinuating that he and Qin Huaiyuan were in the same stream to corrupt and corrupt the money of the Ministry of Ink, and the emperor was already angry, and he never asked for verification, so he reprimanded the second master again.
Now, in addition to Qin Huaiyuan, the Qin family has no mouthpiece at all in the court, and whatever Cao Guozhang says at the court, the Qin family doesn't even have a chance to argue.
Qin Yining was already a little bitter in the summer, but because of the recent incident, he was full of anger, and he couldn't eat for two consecutive days.
Mo said that Qin Yining was so young and strong, the old lady had already been sick with anger, and he got better after taking medicine for a few days.
Qin Huaiyuan has never suffered such a loss in his life. As a man, if he can't even leave the pure land of his own family to his family, where will he still have the face to make a living?
Qin Huaiyuan, who was extremely angry, had no other way to keep pleading with the emperor.
But the emperor's reply was: "Cao Guozhang is ordered by me to investigate the direction of the household silver and the case of embezzlement of ink, Aiqing still has to focus on the overall situation and cooperate more." ”
Cooperate?
With this cooperation, there will be no bones left for the Qin family to be swallowed by the Cao family!
Where is Qin Huaiyuan willing to suffer this loss?
Cao Guozhang's harassment of the Qin family continued, and Qin Huai's excerpts from the distance continued.
When he was negotiating peace in Xihuacheng, the emperor could send more than a dozen dictations every day to urge him.
He is now in the Imperial City of Kyoto, can't he also learn from the emperor?
It is Qin Huaiyuan's sentimental fold, which is sent to the palace almost twice a day. If Cao Guozhang came to make trouble one day, he would send it three or four times.
Xu is Qin Huaiyuan's sincerity moved the emperor, maybe the emperor is finally unbearable, on this day, the emperor arranged for the first time that the chief manager of Wang Da next to him personally came to the Qin Mansion to pass the message.
On a summer afternoon, the sun was particularly scorching, and the stone bricks in the open space in the front yard of the Qin Mansion were a little hot on their knees, and the heat invaded the skin through the thin materials in the summer, making Qin Yining and the ladies frown.
Qin Yining knelt behind him, raising his eyes worriedly to look at Qin Huaiyuan, who was kneeling at the front.
What came to her mind was a picture that looked very similar to what she was now.
It was in the Sun family of the Dingguo Mansion, and she and Qin Huining knelt among the daughters of the Sun family with their mother, watching the chief administrator Wang from the palace pass the decree to Sun Yu's brain
pulp, followed by Sun Yu's tragic collision, the picture of red and white splashing thousands of peach blossoms may not be forgotten for a lifetime. And the tragedy of the Sun family began on that day.
Today, it is still the ruler of the king who has come to deliver the decree.
Their family, like the Sun family that day, was as powerless as a fish waiting to be killed on the chopping board.
Qin Yining felt that the Sun clan beside him was trembling.
She understood that such a scene also reminded her mother of the Sun family.
Qin Yining helped Sun and squeezed her hand soothingly.
Feeling the temperature on his daughter's body, Sun felt a little more settled.
Chief Manager Wang shook off the dust and said with a smile: "Marquis Anping, today our family is here to pass on the emperor's message, and the emperor instructed our family to tell Anpinghou word for word, so that Anpinghou should listen carefully." ”
"Yes. There is Lao Gonggong. Qin Huaiyuan saluted solemnly.
The sharp voice of the chief steward imitated the emperor's tone by eight points:
"I remember that you used to do errands quite conscientiously, and you didn't blame in advance, who knew that you would only ask others to put state affairs first on weekdays, and it was your turn, but you refused to even cooperate with the investigation? Could it be that you are really greedy for the money of the household? Is this a weak heart?
“…… You have not only betrayed my trust in you, but you have also taught my only prince badly!
"In the past, the prince's prince was knowledgeable, gentle and elegant, and now he dares to shout in front of me that there is no distinction between the old and the young, and you are really disappointed by your approach! How can there still be a face to sparse and tell the black ...... of the country?"
The Qin family all knelt on the ground and saluted, their foreheads were attached to the floor tiles, and they listened to the words passed on by the general manager of Wang in their ears word for word.
There was silence in the courtyard, and such heart-wrenching words, like invisible blades, had already broken people's hearts.
Qin Yining raised his head and quietly looked at Qin Huaiyuan's back. The originally upright figure has collapsed now, as if it can't stand the weight of the body, and finally can't hold on.
After a while, Qin Huaiyuan said in a dry voice: "Thank you princess, please convey the minister's meaning on your behalf, and the minister's family thanks the emperor for his teaching." ”
Chief Manager Wang sighed and said, "Anping Hou shouldn't be too sharp. If not, take a step back, but don't forget the previous example, what did you think happened to the grandson of Dingguo at the beginning? You are a talented person, and there is no need to compete with others at this time. ”
Mr. Wang has served the emperor for many years, and if he can't say anything else, he has a great ability to observe words and colors.
The contradiction between the emperor and Qin Huaiyuan, he saw that he was provoked by the Cao family, but there was no way. Mr. Wang has a good conscience, and he also admires Qin Huaiyuan's life, so he mentioned it.
Qin Huaiyuan was naturally grateful, and personally sent Mr. Wang out, and also sent a first-class seal red.
The ladies staggered to their feet as they supported each other.
The old lady was already in tears.
"Too much deception, too much deception! Isn't this bullying that no one in our family! Could it be that the sky is going to kill our Qin family! ”
Sun remembered the tragic situation of the Sun family that day, and then thought of Qin Huai's rickety back after being scolded from afar, his heart hurt for a while, and tears fell down in a puff.
Everyone returned to the Garden of Filial Piety, and everyone was like a frosted eggplant, some with sad faces, and some silently wept.
After Qin Huai came back with the second and third masters not long ago, the sound of sobbing in the house gradually lowered.
Qin Huaiyuan was not like before, and wanted to take someone to discuss this matter, but calmly asked the old lady to say goodbye, explained her a few words, and said that he was tired and wanted to take a lunch break.
The old lady naturally didn't allow it, so she let everyone disperse.
Qin Yining, Bingtang, and Jiyun left Cixiao Garden, and suddenly stopped while walking.
"You say, in this situation, who else can help my father?"
PS: Stupid Moon accidentally locked herself in a small dark room, so I'm sorry for being late for the update XD! There's one more later, what's the difference!
