Jinling City Government

At this time, everyone in the Qin family had already fallen into a panic.

Two days ago, many bandits suddenly appeared in Jinling City, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil.

For this reason, Qin Lu immediately arranged a large number of servants to arrest these bandits.

But the result was a big surprise to them.

Because after these officials paid a terrible price, after all these bandits were caught, more bandits appeared.

Suddenly, Qin Luming knew that there must be someone behind these bandits who was deliberately arranging.

So he immediately arranged for someone to ask the Yaowu army and the city guard battalion to come to assist.

However, after the people who went to ask for reinforcements came back, they brought Qin Luming a piece of news that stunned him: the Yaowu Army and the City Guard Battalion actually fought.

And there have been human lives in the two armies, and a large number of Yaowu army and city guard battalion soldiers have already confronted each other.

Qin Luming, as a smart person, knew very well that behind this matter, there must be someone with hands and eyes who was manipulating.

Then he heard a report from his family that the area around the Jinling City Mansion had been secretly monitored.

Qin Lu secretly sent people to probe, and found that these people who were monitoring them in the dark turned out to be from Zongzheng Temple.

This directly made Qin Luming realize the seriousness of the matter.

So he decisively asked all the officials to withdraw to the palace, and at the same time he also began to organize the servants in the palace into a team and then defend the Jinling government day and night.

This is also one of the reasons why those troublemakers who were later able to loot unscrupulously in Jinling City.

However, although he had made complete preparations, his heart was still uneasy.

Qin Luming always felt that their Qin family was likely to be wiped out this time.

"Big brother, we're ready, we're ready to go."

Just when Qin Luming was sitting in the study, full of anxiety, Qin Lu also suddenly walked in.

"No one else knows about this, does it?"

Qin Lu raised his eyebrows at the door, signaling Qin Lu to close the door as well, and then spoke.

"Big brother, don't worry, at this time, I won't tell anyone except our Qin family core."

Qin Lu also said immediately.

"But big brother, aren't we making a big fuss about us now?"

Qin Lu also thought for a while, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"What do you know, now the things in this city have confirmed the previous statement of Mu Junhe and his junior brother."

Qin Luming glared at Qin Luye and said.

"But even so, since this matter is manipulated by His Majesty behind the scenes, then we can sit back and relax, why bother to make everyone panic?"

Qin Lu also saw Qin Luming's serious expression, and he couldn't help but speak.

"You know what? Do you really think that if you are the son-in-law of His Majesty, he will keep our Qin family safe for the rest of our lives? ”

Qin Luming knocked on the table and said angrily.

"I am his son-in-law, Shaodong and Shaojie are his grandsons, even if he is ruthless, he will not be a tiger poison and eat children, right?" Qin Lu never believed that his old father-in-law would be so ruthless in harming his son-in-law and grandson.

"Humph! Say you're brainless, you're really brainless, haven't you heard of royal familylessness? He is so ruthless that he can even kill his own son, let alone your son-in-law? ”

Qin Luming said to his younger brother with hatred.

Qin Lu also heard this, and immediately stopped talking.

"By the way, brother and sister and Shaojie, have you found it, we are going to leave tonight."

Qin Luming immediately asked.

"I've already arranged for someone to inform them that they're going, but the messenger hasn't come back yet, I'm afraid they have encountered bandits, and they have taken a detour."

Qin Lu also looked at the sky outside and then spoke.

"Okay, then you go and keep an eye on the people at home, don't let them bring too many things, just bring gold and silver, soft and soft, as long as we are alive, other things will be there in the future."

Qin Luming immediately reminded.

"Okay, I'll go inform them."

Qin Lu also answered and stepped out of the door.

"How are Mrs. and Miss Liang preparing?"

After Qin Lu also left, Qin Luming opened his mouth and asked his servant.

"Madame and Miss are ready, but Madame and Mademoiselle have been asking the old slave what is going on, and the old slave still doesn't know how to answer."

The servant, known as Lao Liang, said with some embarrassment.

"I'll explain this to them in person right away, you don't need to say more."

Qin Luming waved his hand and said.

"Time is running out, you should hurry up and prepare, we will set off as soon as it gets dark tonight, my eyelids have been jumping, I'm afraid something bad is going to happen."

Qin Luming immediately said to Lao Liang.

"The master is worried a lot, no matter what, the second master is today's concubine, so even if the court and Zongzheng Temple are deadlocked, it will not involve our Qin family."

Lao Liang saw that Qin Luming looked worried, so he opened his mouth and said with relief.

"Okay, you go and prepare, I'll also go see Zirou and Shaoyan."

After Qin Luming finished speaking, he stood up and took just a few steps, then he turned back to the bookcase, then took out a book from the bookshelf behind the bookcase, and hurriedly stuffed it into his arms.

As soon as he entered the back house, he saw his wife directing the servants to pack their things.

It's just that Qin Luming couldn't help but feel bored when he saw that the room was full of large and small boxes.

"What are you going to pack up these broken things, just hurry up and clean up the gold and silver jewelry!"

Qin Luming angrily kicked over a box in the house.

"Sir, what are you crazy about!"

Qin Luming's wife, Li Zirou, couldn't help but cry when she saw her husband angrily kicking over the box she used to hold clothes.

"When is it all the time, you still care about these things."

In the past, as long as Qin Luming saw his wife crying, he would do everything possible to please her.

But this time, he changed his previous gentleness and immediately said angrily.

Li Zirou was directly taken aback by her husband's attitude.

She immediately put away her tears and looked at her husband.

"You all go out."

Qin Luming directly waved his hand and drove out all the servants in the house.

"Dad, what the hell is going on?"

Qin Luming's daughter, Qin Shaoyan, saw that her father was emotional, and she immediately stepped forward to ask.

"The imperial court is ready to make a move on Zongzheng Temple, and now Jinling City has been completely messed up."

Qin Luming saw that the servants had already left, so he no longer hid it.

"The imperial court wants the most Zongzheng Temple to do it?"

Li Zirou and Qin Shaoyan's mother and daughter couldn't help but be taken aback when they heard this.

"So Zongzheng Temple is going to do something to our Qin family?"

Although Qin Shaoyan and Qin Shaojie are cousins, they are very different in personality and wisdom.

Compared with Qin Shaojie, a gentleman, as a cousin, Qin Shaoyan can be described as a model of everyone's beauty.

In addition to her great joy of female popularity, she is also full of poetry and books, and she knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so she has also become one of the recognized talented women in Jinling City.

And because of her good looks and excellent figure, she is also known as the first of the top ten beauties in Jinling City.

Therefore, over the years, those who have come to the door to marry the Qin family have even broken the threshold of the Jinling Mansion.

However, because Qin Luming only has such a daughter, he has always wanted to recruit a suitable son-in-law.

However, he couldn't look down on the person who was willing to be the son-in-law, and the person he liked didn't want to be the son-in-law, and over time, Qin Shaoyan's marriage was delayed.

"Almost! Now there are a lot of people from Zongzheng Temple outside the government office staring at it! ”

Anyway, they were already preparing to escape, so Qin Luming no longer hid it.

"Won't this court send some men to protect us?"

At this time, Li Zirou suddenly spoke.

In his mind, he came to his concubine, but Princess Chengping was the daughter of the current saint, no matter what, they shouldn't have watched the Qin family being coerced by the people of Zongzheng Temple.

If Zongzheng Temple was annoyed and angry, and arrested Princess Chengping, wouldn't the imperial court have to cast a rat trap at that time?

"Mother, don't think about it, even if your aunt is the princess of today, your majesty is a merciless person today, he can even kill his own son, how can he care about a princess who has been married!"

Qin Shaoyan snorted lightly at this time.

Outsiders may not be very clear about Emperor Shengheng's beheading of his son, but those of them who have some connection with the royal family still know the inside story of the matter.

It is said that four years ago, Emperor Shengheng's fifteenth son will be crowned, and before he had time to become the king, he was discovered by Emperor Shengheng because of a private meeting with Emperor Shengheng, and then he was hacked to death by Emperor Shengheng.

If this matter is just that the prince and the concubine are cheating, it will be considered innocent, but the concubine was originally a childhood sweetheart who grew up with the prince.

Later, Emperor Shengheng was drunk and directly forced the concubine, which caused the pair of mandarin ducks to be forced to separate.

Afterwards, the prince originally begged his father not to accept the woman as a concubine, but Emperor Shengheng rejected his request.

Afterwards, the poor woman entered the palace and became a concubine at a young age.

And in the end, the poor woman also committed suicide by hanging herself after the fifteenth prince was killed.

However, even so, Emperor Shengheng did not give up the punishment of the pair of outlaw mandarin ducks.

He directly threw the woman's body into the Yellow River and let her go down the river, and then he sealed his son's body in a coffin and transported it to Qilian Mountain for burial.

In this way, he can make this pair of bitter mandarin ducks unable to sleep and die together.

"Then what will they do if the people from Zongzheng Temple really arrest your aunt?"

Li Zirou always felt that even if Emperor Shengheng was ruthless and unrighteous, the people below did not dare not save Princess Chengping.

"If my aunt is really arrested, then her ending must be killed, and the person who killed her in the end must be Zongzheng Temple."

Qin Shaoyan said with a sneer.

Li Zirou couldn't help but tremble when she heard this.

Although Li Zirou is not one of those people who are thoughtful, as the daughter of a former family, she is also used to seeing power struggles.

So she immediately understood the meaning of her daughter's words.

That is, if Princess Chengping is arrested, then the people of the court will definitely kill Princess Chengping, and then the crime of killing the princess will be planted on the head of Zongzheng Temple.

"Now you know why I want you to flee in a hurry!"

Qin Luming took a long breath and said.

In fact, as the head of the Qin family, he was very proud that his daughter was so smart.

It's a pity that she is a daughter, otherwise he will definitely pass on the position of head of the family to her in the future.

But now he can only pin his hopes on Qin Shaojie and Qin Shaodong now.

And between these two brothers, he values Qin Shaodong more.

However, Qin Shaodong's personality has always been very cold and gloomy, which made Qin Luming very worried that he would be too strict with his clansmen after becoming the head of the Qin family.

Just when Qin Luming was still thinking about the future successor of the Qin family, Lao Liang's voice suddenly came from outside.

"The second lady is back!"

Hearing Lao Liang's report, Qin Luming's heart finally let go of a little.

He was worried just now that Princess Chengping and Qin Shaodong would not be able to come back in time because of the chaos outside.

"Okay, I got it."

After Qin Luming answered, he was ready to continue to prepare the things he was going to take away.

But at this time, Lao Liang outside said again.

"Sir, there are some changes, please deal with it."

"Is there anything you can't wait?"

Qin Luming replied with some dissatisfaction.

"Master, you'd better go and see for yourself!"

Lao Liang hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to say.

Qin Luming opened the door dissatisfied, and then saw Lao Liang's sad face, he couldn't help frowning.

"What's the matter?"

Qin Luming asked in a stern tone.

"Second lady, she brought some people to the mansion to ask for ······ She asks us to hand over all the servants and servants of the house to her. ”

Lao Liang stammered.

"When is it that she still wants to help her father, and she doesn't want to see if this matter is something that our Qin family can participate in!"

Qin Luming whispered angrily.

Then he strode towards the antechamber.

And Lao Liang, who followed him, had a sad face.

When Qin Luming walked to the front hall, he found that something was wrong.

At first glance, he saw that his brother was sitting on the ground covering his face.

In front of him stood a burly man.

And this man is very familiar to him.

"Zheng Dashuai, what do you mean by this?"

At this time, he had already roughly guessed what had just happened, so his tone was cold.

"Yo Qin Shangshu, you can't blame me for this, this is your brother's hand that made the first move, I'm just defending myself."

"Zheng Yu, although you are the commander of the Yaowu Army, it is too good to scatter the wild to my Qin family!"

Qin Luming looked at Zheng Yudao with an angry face.

Although Zheng Yu said that it was Qin Lu who also made the first move, Qin Luming knew his brother's character very well, and if it wasn't for Zheng Yu's provocation first, he would not have been able to take the lead.

"Qin Shangshu can eat indiscriminately, but he can't talk nonsense, I, Zheng, am not wild!"

Zheng Yu said with a playful face.

"Qin Luye, what the hell is going on?"

Although Qin Luming's tone seemed to be stern, outsiders could see that he was caring about his younger brother.

"They······ They ······"

Qin Lu also covered his face, so angry that he couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

"Humph! You waste, this princess was blind to fall in love with you, since things have come to this point today, I will tell you straight, this princess has long looked down on you. ”

At this time, Princess Chengping finally stood up and said arrogantly.

Qin Luming couldn't help but stare when he heard this.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess, why is this! Everyone is a family, and there is nothing to talk about. ”

Although Qin Luming was also very angry now, he still patiently wanted to persuade him.

"Humph! What kind of family, this princess has long been not a family with you, and Zheng Lang and I are a family. ”

As she spoke, Princess Chengping hugged Zheng Yu's arm.

This scene made Qin Lu tremble with anger.

He can be regarded as seeing the shamelessness of this Chengping princess today.

And Qin Luming saw this, and finally knew why Zheng Yu came over today.

"Has Her Royal Highness done too much in this matter?"

Qin Luming couldn't hold back anymore at this time, he knew that today's matter was afraid that he couldn't persuade anymore.

"Excessive? If it weren't for this princess, why would your Qin family be so noble, wouldn't your Qin family be satisfied with so much light from this princess over the years? ”

Princess Chengping said with a look of disdain.

Her words were like a knife, and instantly stabbed Qin Luming and Qin Luye's hearts.

"I didn't come here today to talk to you about this, now I immediately hand over the officials in the government and the servants of the Qin family."

Finally, Princess Chengping said her true intention.
