"Old minister Qin Baolin, meet Your Majesty! The grandson of the old minister died tragically on the street, and after the Qin family's house was extinct, I begged His Majesty to read the old minister and the Qin family for the sake of the royal family and the country, and make the decision for the old minister! ”

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

His forehead slammed against the tiles with a dull sound.

It was full of grief and indignation, and it was a determination that could not be refused.

Originally, there were a lot of arguments prepared, and Emperor Chongning, who wanted to go around the bend with the other party, reluctantly got up and stretched out his hand to help him up, "Fengyang Gong, please get up quickly, why bother, why bother!" Come, give a seat! ”

The old head of the Qin family raised his head, there was already blood on his forehead, and with a somewhat messy beard, he looked quite desolate.

"Duke Fengyang, I said before that the imperial grandmother is the daughter of the Qin family, and you are still my elder in terms of seniority, why do you need to say this as soon as we meet!"

"Your Majesty, the old minister and the Qin family know that they are several generations of descendants, their identities are sensitive, they have always been obsessed with business, they abide by their duties, and they don't want to be contaminated with the right and wrong of the court, but now, some people not only hit the abacus on my Qin family, but even mutilate the lives of the Qin family's relatives, the old minister and the Qin family are not like other big clans, there are many forces in the court, the old minister can only turn to the monarch for help, may Your Majesty uphold justice for the old minister and the Qin family!"

Emperor Chongning looked at the bloody old man in front of him, and squinted slightly, "You mean that this is not an ordinary vendetta, but someone is plotting against the Qin family?" ”

The old man continued: "The old minister has thought twice on the way here, the Qin family has not participated in the court situation for all these years, and the old minister really can't think of any reason for people to assassinate the grandson of the old minister on the street. The old minister returned to the house to ask, the reason why he left the house today was because someone made a secret appointment with the old man's illegitimate daughter, and why did this news spread, and why did the other party know his route, all this, the old man was stupid, he couldn't understand, and at the same time, he was limited by his lack of ability to find out, so he had to beg His Majesty to order someone to find out the truth in order to calm the dead! ”

Emperor Chongning had countless thoughts in his mind at this moment, and thought of countless ways to manipulate this matter, but he did not rush to make any conclusions, but nodded, "I know." Fengyang Gong rest assured, in Zhongjing City, if such a thing happens, how can I sit idly by. Later, I ordered the Criminal Department, Jingzhao Mansion, and Hei Bingtai to thoroughly investigate the case, and to hear it all the way to the heavens, without anyone hindering it, and everyone involved."

He paused, "Whether it is a relative of the emperor and the country, or a veteran noble, or an important minister of the court, they will all be severely punished!" ”

The old master looked at Emperor Chongning, got up with difficulty, knelt down and kowtowed, "Old minister, thank you for Your Majesty Longen!" ”

When the old head of the Qin family left the palace, a will also came out of the palace.

With the Criminal Department, Jingzhao Mansion, and Heibing Terrace, the three divisions will try this case, from the prince to Li Min, all of whom have the right to be taken into custody for interrogation, and all suspects will be taken into custody by Heibing Terrace! Be sure to find out the truth, but if there is a twist of favoritism, go directly to your post to ask for the crime!

When the news came out, everyone in Beijing reacted differently.

Some people think that this Qin family, don't look at him like a shrinking turtle now, he took the initiative to withdraw from the court, but this background and strength are really not covered, so that His Majesty can move such a big battle for him;

Some people also think that if you look at it this way, Xia Jingyun is afraid that he will suffer a big disaster, and it is easy to enter the prison of Heibingtai, but it is difficult to get out;

Some people also feel that this time there is a big incident between the DPRK and China, and the outcome of this pass may be related to the direction of the DPRK situation in the next ten years;

Some people even think that this is a collision between the upstarts and the wealthy families in the DPRK and China, and perhaps the wind direction of the DPRK and China can be seen in a war.

In the British Mansion, in the study, he sighed with emotion, "This Qin family has a really big face, and Your Majesty actually made such a big move." ”

British Gong Lu Rusong put down the tea cup and sneered, "What does it have to do with the Qin family!" ”

He slowly stood up and paced around the room, "Your Majesty wants to take the opportunity to complete his layout, so he has made such a huge appearance, and if there is really any news in his favor at that time, he can take advantage of the situation." The Qin family is now like a child holding gold through the city, and it is only a matter of time before something happens, so Your Majesty will not have any pity for them! ”

The kiss suddenly realized, and hurriedly patted the ass, "It's still the grandfather who can see through." ”

Lu Rusong walked to the table and tapped his fingers on the table, "Speaking of which, it is inevitable that Xia Jingyun will enter the Black Ice Platform for a while." ”

His eyes lit up, "Yes, it's a pity that it would be nice if the Criminal Department accepted prisoners, and now the Criminal Department Shangshu is our people, so we can use some means at will."

"What stupid things to say!"

The British Duke turned his head and scolded angrily, "Now that this matter has nothing to do with us, someone is helping us deal with Xia Jingyun, a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, why do we have to wade into troubled waters by ourselves?" ”

He breathed a sigh of relief, "You go and tell the Criminal Department that not only can we not have any superfluous actions, but we must enforce the law completely impartially, and we can even protect Xia Jingyun more, so that he will suffer less, so that in front of our suspicious Majesty, we can regain some trust." ”

The person listened with great admiration, "It has to be your grandfather who can see it, so that your majesty will be able to see our fair heart." ”

"But there's one thing, you have to tell him, you have to do it."

"Grandpa, please command."

"We must delay this matter until after the Spring Festival, and we can't let Xia Jingyun participate in the Spring Festival!"

He was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, "Yes!" ”

——

The carriage slowly stopped at the Qin Mansion and brought back the news of His Majesty's order.

Up and down the house, on the surface, they are naturally grateful, and by the way, they are proud that my Qin family is really powerful, and Your Majesty really gives face and something like that.

The old master of Qin seemed to have exhausted his strength by tonight's events, and the housekeeper hurriedly pushed the chair and let the old master sit on it, and then pushed it behind himself.

A small mourning hall has been set up on the side of the house, and the clansmen of the Qin family are kneeling inside to guard Qin Yuwen's spirit.

The old man arrived at the door of the mourning hall and told his son about the situation, "You keep an eye on tonight's affairs, the old man is going to rest." ”

The head of the Qin family naturally hurriedly responded, and said in a loud voice that his father had worked hard.

Just as the housekeeper was about to push the old master back to his yard to rest, the old master suddenly said, "Wait a minute." ”

He turned his head to look at Qin Li, who was kneeling in front of the mourning hall in filial piety clothes, guarding Qin Yuwen's spirit, "Let Ah Li go to the ancestral hall to kneel and reflect all night, how can he be spared if he made such a big mistake!" ”

"Father!" The head of the Qin family hurriedly opened his mouth to dissuade, in his eyes, Qin Li did not do anything wrong, but saved a lot of losses for the Qin family, the death of his son is sad, but the father is so eccentric, and all the faults are put on the innocent daughter, what is this called!

The old man said in a deep voice: "If you still recognize me as a father, you will do it, if you don't want to recognize it, then you can do it!" Walk! ”

"Father!"

The head of the Qin family was still holding on, but the old family master's chair had been pushed away.

"Father, don't be embarrassed. I'll just go. ”

Qin Li naturally heard this conversation, and silently came to his father's side, his red and swollen eyes were as calm as death.

The head of the Qin family looked at the appearance of the pearl in his palm, and couldn't help but feel sad, "Ah Li."

And Qin's mother, who originally complained about her daughter's behavior because of her son's death, was a little unbearable when she saw her daughter being targeted like this, and came over to hold her daughter's hand.

Qin Li said calmly: "The house is already chaotic enough, at this time, it's better not to make a mess in the long room." It's just a night of kneeling in the ancestral hall, it's fine. ”

Looking at his daughter's back walking towards the ancestral hall, the head of the Qin family stomped his feet in frustration and helplessness.

"Hey!"

——

In the Jiang'an Hou Mansion, Xia Jingyun didn't know Qin Li's current situation, and if he knew, he couldn't do anything about it, because the situation he had to face was much worse.

He had already learned the news, and at this moment he was dressed neatly and sat in the main hall.

Feng Xiuyun, Su Yuanshang, Gongsun Jing, Bai Yunbian, and Chen Fugui were all on the side.

Xia Jingyun's face was not flustered, and he said calmly, "Han Fu Yin of Jingzhao Mansion is familiar with us, so he won't be too embarrassed. Although the reputation of the Black Ice Platform is terrifying, the Black Ice Platform belongs to His Majesty's private weapon, and I am sure that His Majesty will not embarrass me too much. Then the problem lies with the Criminal Department. ”

After all, Gongsun Jing has been in Beijing for so many years, and he still thinks that he knows the situation of these main officials very well, and said with a worried face: "Geng Yuanping, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is a British duke, and he will definitely be unfavorable to Gongzi." ”

Xia Jingyun and Su Yuanshang's eyes lit up almost at the same time, but Su Yuanshang immediately restrained his expressions.

Xia Jingyun was a little happy and said: "If it's a British duke, then I'm not afraid." ”

He directly ordered: "Next, you only need to do three things, first, stabilize the situation in the Hou Mansion, especially the hearts of the people, and do not cause chaos; second, they have to come to visit every day, and if they are not allowed, they will go to the sister, and then as long as they find that the criminal department has hands and feet, they will immediately muddy the waters, involve the concubine and the British princess, and turn the matter into a party dispute; Thirdly, to get me out as soon as possible, I had to attend the Spring Festival, even the day before the Spring Festival exams. ”

"These three points will be more difficult, but now the situation has forced us to this point, and only hard work can do it. I have had a careful discussion with Mr. Su about the specific operation methods, and during my time in prison, everything was respected by his instructions. ”

Xia Jingyun smiled and comforted, "Don't worry too much, since we have chosen to take this path, we are destined to have countless similar twists and turns in the future, this time, let's do it as a drill!" ”

In the silence of everyone, Bai Yunbian pursed his mouth, "I didn't choose this road, you tied me to this road!" ”

Everyone couldn't help but smile, and the atmosphere that was solemn to the extreme was also a little relieved.

Xia Jingyun smiled and glanced at Baiyunbian, this noble son who was once ignorant of the world has finally grown by leaps and bounds.

As he spoke, Xuanhu, dressed in black, walked in directly, and in the frightened eyes of everyone in the Hou Mansion, he said coldly: "Young Master Xia, please." ”

Xia Jingyun got up slowly, and Xuanhu was silent for a moment, "Since you are injured, prepare a sedan chair." ”

The moment he saw the will, Xuanhu, who had followed Emperor Chongning for many years, understood what His Majesty implied, where did he dare to be lazy.

But the black-clothed people on the Black Ice Platform on the side were stupid, these powerful people had to pee their pants when they heard about it, and they were all dragged in by them, when will they be able to sit in a sedan chair!

"The first one."

"Huh?"

"Yes!"

Watching the sedan chair leave, everyone in the Jiang'an Hou Mansion suddenly felt like they were missing a pillar, and their hearts felt empty and worried.

Su Yuanshang said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the prince has supported us for so long, and now it is time for us to support ourselves, perform our duties, and wait for the return of the son!" ”

"The cross-current knows that the reef is hard, and the desperate situation is showing the hero's white."

Bai Gongzi folded his fan and shook it lightly, and said confidently: "Everyone, with me, don't panic." ”

——

Qin Mansion, in the ancestral hall.

A lone lamp, a shadow, Qin Li knelt quietly on the futon, and in front of him were names that had been prominent in Great Xia.

The night was already deep, and there was nothing to warm in the ancestral hall, so it was completely cold.

It's like a home and family that has become strange in the blink of an eye.

But what is colder than her body is her heart at this moment.

The sound of soft footsteps sounded slowly, and Qin Li couldn't help but follow the prestige and saw a person she couldn't think of at all.

Her grandfather is also the one who gave her the most indifference and cruelty today, and the once dear grandfather.

The old master of Qin slowly walked in front of her, laboriously untied the heavy cloak on his body, and draped it on Qin Li's body.

In Qin Li's astonishment, she said softly: "Good girl, I have wronged you today." ”
