Regardless of whether the four princes heard it or not, in short, no one paid attention to Guo Qian's howl.

Several officials stepped forward and tied up Guo Qian mercilessly.

Qin Zeng said: "This governor will report this matter to the emperor, and Guo Qian will temporarily take him into custody in Dali Temple and wait for the emperor's fate."

After all, he is a person from the Hubu Shangshu Mansion, and he is secretly involved with the four princes, so he naturally has to report it to the emperor to know.

Guo Qing's heart was awe-inspiring, "I'm tired of Lord Qin."

Sending Qin Zeng and the others away, Guo Qingman's mind was still the grandson who had been raised for more than ten years and had always been gentle and submissive, and suddenly became vicious.

Shengmien fights Mi Feud.

You can give him nothing, but as long as you give a little, people want it all.

Second Mrs. Guo was hit and hurt more than anyone else, and Guo Qing said to his old wife, Mrs. Guo, who had been with him for many years, "You can persuade it."

Old Madam Guo nodded silently.

Seeing that no one paid attention to them, Wei Laner quickly tugged on his mother Guo's sleeve.

Guo Shi stubbornly said, "Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law......

The second lady Guo paused, but it was only a meal, and she entered the house with the eldest lady, and neither of them paid attention to Guo.

Guo had no choice but to look at Mrs. Guo, "Mother, I really don't know that Guo Qian is going to kill the second sister-in-law!"

Old Madam Guo wrinkled her eyebrows and looked at her, and said in a deep voice, "Even if there is no such thing, don't you know what good things you have done to instigate your second brother? Come, send my aunt and cousin out of the house."

Guo's lips trembled, and his mother wanted to drive them out of Guo's house.

"Grandmother!"

Wei Lan'er shouted in a mournful voice, "Don't you care about your granddaughter?"

Old Madam Guo glanced at her, "It's all an enemy, why should I bother with it."

With that, Mrs. Guo turned around and entered the house.

Guo Shi and Wei Lan'er glanced at each other, looked at the expressions of the people around them, and left Guo's mansion in a gloomy manner.

*****

In late spring and early summer, pink cherry blossoms and begonias are blooming, and Li Qingyi is sitting on the second floor of Linjiang Pavilion, just in time to see the snow cherries blooming in several courtyards.

There are no precious flowers and plants such as peonies in the homes of the people in the market, but throughout the year, apricot blossoms, acacia flowers, gardenias, etc. bloom one season after another. At this time, the layers of pink and frost-white clouds are dazzling and full, and the glory is lively.

Qin Zeng sat opposite her and said, "Xiaoxiang was not arranged by me, Liu Sheng's family went to Dali Temple to report to the official, and was bumped into by Chen Yan, and heard that it was related to the Guo family, so he immediately asked people to report the matter to me. When I arrived at Guo's mansion, I learned that Guo Qian was angry because of Guo's humiliation, and he used Xiaoxiang as a tool to vent his anger, and dismantled it into eight pieces."

Originally, according to the plan he discussed with Li Qingyi, it was revealed that Guo Qian had murdered his adoptive mother and nailed him to the pillar of shame, so that the expected goal could be achieved, but he didn't expect Guo to find Guo Qian and lose his temper, which led to a series of incidents.

Li Qingyi twisted her eyebrows, "Guo's mother and daughter are really a pair of broom stars. However, Guo's unintentional move has fulfilled us."

With Xiaoxiang's incident as a foreshadowing, Guo Qian's character was greatly discounted in the minds of the Guo family, which led to his poisoning of his adoptive mother, and everything was more logical, which completely shattered Guo Qian's image of many years of operation. Guo's mother and daughter also intensified conflicts with their mother's family because of the poisoned candle.

Li Qingyi hissed, "Did you deliberately leak the news to the fourth prince and let him save Guo Qian?"

If the four princes don't come, even if they uproot Guo Qian and want Guo Qing to get closer to Qin Zeng, it will take a lot of effort.

Qin Zeng raised his eyebrows and said "um", "The Fourth Prince would not have come, after all, this was too explicit, so I had to use a small section."

Li Qingyi didn't ask Qin Zeng what means he used to deceive the fourth prince, after all, Qin Zeng had a lot of eyes, and it was never something she could compare, she was more interested in, "Guo Qian really soaked in the bathtub full of corpses all night?"

Qin Zeng shook his head: "If he really soaked all night, even if he soaked in the middle of the night, he would die of poisoning, I think it took him a lot of time to abuse Xiaoxiang, plus the silent dismemberment of the body."

It took time, and it was already early in the morning when he entered the tub to wash off the blood on his body."

Li Qingyi sighed, "I really don't understand, if Guo Qian is his second young master Guo, his future will not be bad, but he is so narrow-minded that he stuffed himself into the tip of the horns."

"People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, some people can think about everything, some people can't think about everything, Guo Qian obviously belongs to the latter, where is he willing to be a subordinate of the other brothers of the Guo family, and he is willing to be assigned by the Guo brothers for the rest of his life."

Li Qingyi nodded, thinking of Guo Qian's leg, "Actually, Guo Qian's leg may not be curable, but in that situation, the fourth prince was obviously misled by your words."

Hearing this, Qin Zeng slightly hooked the corners of his lips, "Presumably he would have reacted a long time ago, but it was too late."

Guo Qian has been imprisoned in Dali Temple, and his actions have been known to many people, and the well-informed storyteller of the teahouse has compiled several versions of "The Peasant Woman and the Snake".

Li Qingyi was silent for a while, and then turned to talk about Aunt Zhen Fuhe, "I have something I want to ask my lord."

"Huh?"

"Aunt He's house really has a secret passage, and the exit of the secret passage is actually in Elm Hutong three streets away. I wanted Changning and the others to go into the secret passage to explore, but I was afraid that the entrance and exit would be dangerous, so I wanted to find out where the secret passage passed, so I dug it in from the middle to have a look. If nothing is discovered, first expose Aunt He's fake identity in front of the Zhen Mansion."

Hearing this, Qin Zeng took out a map of the capital from his arms.

This kind of thing, when it comes to arming, is not allowed to draw or hold a map by ordinary people.

Li Qingyi suddenly became cautious.

Qin Zeng was amused by her appearance, and pointed out a place on the map to her, "This is Zhen's Mansion, the three streets from here to Yushu Hutong, most of them are private houses, I think, the three caves of the cunning rabbit, since Aunt He can spend the effort to dig such a long tunnel, can she be stingy to dig a few more exits?"

"You're saying there must be other entrances and exits in these houses? Or maybe her daughter lives in one of them?"

"You can look for it." Qin Zeng pointed to two other places and said, "In addition to the houses, you can also go here, and here, to find traces of the passage."

Li Qingyi's eyes lit up, "Indeed, although these two places don't seem to be very hidden, they are located in the back alleys of other people's mansions, and there are not many people coming and going, and even if there are, they are just some subordinates with low combat effectiveness, if they are discovered, it is easier to deal with."

"If you can find another entrance, you won't have to dig it yourself."

Li Qingyi nodded, and firmly remembered the places on the map that Qin Zeng pointed out to her, "With such a map, it is really very convenient, and the streets in the capital are clear at a glance."

Qin Zeng smiled, "That's why such things are not allowed to be privately hidden or drawn privately, only a few places such as Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and the Beijing Defense Division, and the yamen related to the security of the capital have such drawings."

Li Qingyi became nervous again, Qin Zeng stroked her windblown hair, and asked, "The Wei Mansion is going to hold a marriage, do you want to help the Lord of Yuanheng and stay in the Wei Mansion?"

"Of course, Jin'er is married, and you can't be sloppy."

"Hmm." Qin Zeng replied in a low voice, and said, "If Guo Chongli doesn't come out for a day, the Guo family mother and daughter will have to keep breathing, and they must not dare to act rashly again during this time, but they can't completely relax their vigilance, and people's hearts are unpredictable."

Li Qingyi nodded, "I know, the Zhao family is still in the Guo family's Zhuangzi!"

*****

On the day of Wei Jin'er's wedding, the weather was clear and the wind was beautiful, which was a rare good day.

The whole Wei Mansion is very lively, compared to Guo Qing, Wei Shicheng climbed to the position of the secretary in his thirties, and the person who may enter the cabinet in his forties, his eldest daughter got married, and I don't know how many colleagues and dignitaries came to cheer.

Not to mention relatives and friends who often move around, the older generation of the other mansions plus the younger generation, and then bring their respective wives, princes, nephews and little ladies, these people alone are about to fill up the Guo Mansion.

There are only a few sisters in the Wei family, and Wei Baozhu wants it on such a day

I returned to my mother's house to help entertain the guests. Wei Lan'er was injured and said that he couldn't get sick, Li Qingyi, as the daughter of the county lord of Yuanheng and the sister of Wei Jin'er, helped entertain the little ladies, which was not abrupt.

But there were still not enough manpower, so Mrs. Wei assigned the fifth girl Wei Jiaoer and the sixth girl Wei Ziying in the third room to help with the work.

Although Wei Jiao'er is a concubine, she is more embarrassed than her concubine Wei Lan'er in front of the third master of Wei, so she is also the object of rejection by other concubines.

Wei Ziying, who is the same age as Wei Jiaoer, may have to compete with each other in family affairs, so when the two meet on weekdays, they are a pair of black corns.

However, although the two did not get along, they would not hold the gun at this time, and followed Li Qingyi and Wei Baozhu with low eyebrows and good girls.

Li Qingyi doesn't care, as long as these people don't come to make trouble in vain, she won't go to others for trouble, Wei Baozhu is even more so, if it weren't for the Lin family's trouble, she would be the most popular girl in the house. Therefore, the four of them entertained the guests together, and there was no chaos.

The first little lady to enter the mansion here turned out to be the former opponent of the Wei family sisters, the mouth of the fourth princess for Xu Hanzhang.

Xu Xiang and Wei Shicheng often have political disagreements, so the two mansions are not very good. However, this time Xu Hanzhang didn't come with Song Linlang, and he didn't see Wei Lan'er, who often quarreled with her, and his mouth was also a lot more forgiving, but there was no yin and yang weirdness, and he was guided by Wei Baozhu to go inside as usual.

Wei Ziying looked at the backs of the two and muttered to Li Qingyi: "On weekdays, Xu Hanzhang is swaggering, if she is taller, I'm afraid we can only see her nostrils, today is the sun hitting the west and coming out?"

Li Qingyi thought to herself, didn't answer her words, and then the second aunt and Mrs. Lang of the Ministry of Rites came together, and Li Miaoran and Zhen Zhen followed behind them. After a few conversations, Li Qingyi said, "Let Lu Wu take you to Jin'er's courtyard, I still have to help my mother entertain guests, and I will look for you later."

The little ladies went one by one, and Lu Wu went to see off Li Miaoran and a few of them, turned around in the backyard and came back, leaned over to Li Qingyi's side, and said, "Girl, there is nothing wrong in the backyard, Miss Wei San didn't come out of the yard for a single step. In the front yard, the crown prince and Lord Qin met the fourth prince and the second son of the Mu family halfway, and they came together."
