Chapter 197: Qi Yuanqing is dead
In Qi's mansion, Young Master Qi did not return overnight.
Last night, Mrs. Qi muttered that her eyelids jumped so hard all night, and Qi Ming was annoyed by her and slept in the courtyard of the concubine's room.
Unexpectedly, when he got up the next morning, Qi Yuanqing had not yet returned home.
Mrs. Qi immediately sent someone to send the news to Qi Ming's concubine's room.
Qi Ming impatiently lifted the quilt and sat up, his expression was very unhappy.
In the past, Qi Yuanqing was a prodigal character, and it was common for him to not return at night.
or linger in a beauty's house, or sing in a restaurant every night, but they will send someone back to deliver the letter, and they don't have to leave the door for him.
It's just that there was no news last night, and even Qi Ming felt uneasy, as if something was going to happen.
The third aunt was very unhappy, this Qi Ming usually came less, and finally stayed for one night, and the eldest lady sent someone to make trouble early in the morning.
Isn't this a deliberate attempt to oppose her?
"Master~ The eldest young master is fine, he is used to being amorous on weekdays, maybe he forgot to pass it on yesterday, so he missed the time to return home......"
The third aunt smiled and comforted.
Qi Ming snorted coldly: "I don't know what has grown, let me worry about it at this time!" ”
The third aunt didn't say anything, just gently took Qi Ming back to the bed again.
"Master, it's not that I said partiality, that Xiaosheng is also your son, you haven't been to see him for a month. A few days ago, he was in the academy, and he was praised by the master because he wrote an article! ”
Qi Yuansheng is Qi Ming's youngest son, who is thirteen years old, because he is a concubine, and Qi Yuanqing's treatment can be described as one heaven and one underground.
Hearing the news of his son's diligence, Qi Ming couldn't help but be a little surprised, but more joyful.
"Really? That kid usually doesn't talk much, but he didn't expect to study so hard? ”
Qi Ming was very happy, and a smile appeared on his face.
The third aunt was too busy and nodded with a smile: "It's not!" And don't forget, master, Xiao Sheng can take the Taixue exam this year, if the master can ......"
Taixue is not an ordinary academy, but a place where the emperor personally confers official positions.
If Qi Ming can help dredge up the relationship, Qi Yuansheng will also be able to go in and become a student.
Although he is the lowest Bai Ding, his status is more than a step higher than that of ordinary academy and shop children.
Qi Ming is also a smart person, and he immediately understood what the third aunt meant.
After pondering for a moment, he suddenly asked, "Which gentleman's name is Xiaosheng under now?" ”
"Back to the master, Xiao Sheng is currently under the sect of Su Fuzi, and he will only start enrolling in the fall of next year," the third aunt replied too busy.
Su Fuzi is a well-known gentleman in the capital.
When Qi Yuanqing heard this, he was slightly silent, "Recently, I want to handle the imperial examination, and the matter of Xiao Sheng's admission to Taixue will be ...... first There is no hurry. ”
The more you want, the easier it is to make mistakes.
The imperial examination is very important, and Qi Ming doesn't want to lose a big one because of a small thing.
"Sir! You're trying to favor one over the other! ”
As soon as she heard that the other party disagreed, the third aunt was too unhappy.
"Xiaosheng is still young, and he has only been delayed for a year, but he has not suffered much damage, but he can take the opportunity to accumulate contacts and increase his capital."
The third aunt is too angry in her heart, and she usually tolerates it everywhere.
Unexpectedly, in front of such a big event as entering Taixue, he had to make way for Qi Yuanqing.
At this moment, a sudden rush of footsteps came, "Master! Oh no! ”
At this time, Qi Ming only felt that his heart suddenly fell into an ice cellar, and his whole body was cold.
He stood up from the soft couch and stared at the panicked butler: "What's the matter?" Speak slowly! ”
The housekeeper gasped for a while, relieved his breath, and said hurriedly: "Master, just now someone came to report and said, say that the eldest young master...... The eldest young master is dead. ”
"What?"
Qi Ming's eyes widened, and the whole person stumbled two steps, almost falling.
The third aunt hurriedly supported him: "Master, don't scare the slave!" ”
"How could the eldest young master die, you don't want to talk nonsense, you will get sick for a while, can you afford it?" The third aunt asked too aggressively.
The housekeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead and said tremblingly: "Third aunt, it's true, eldest young master...... Really dead...... The body was collected by the subordinates and placed in the main hall. ”
Qi Ming only felt that his eyes were black at this time, and a mouthful of blood spit out directly, and the person fainted.
The third aunt was so frightened that she screamed a few times, and hurriedly asked the housekeeper to call the doctor over.
"Sir! Master! Wake up......"
When Qi Ming woke up, his head ached.
He raised his hand and rubbed the corners of his forehead, and found that he was in the study, and the entire Qi Mansion was crying with grief.
He struggled to get up, grabbed a random piece of clothing, put it on, and walked out.
When the housekeeper saw that he was leaving, he hurriedly stopped him: "Master, the doctor said that you are angry and should recuperate, you can't go out, the doctor said...... The death of the eldest young master is really tragic, you can't stand such a blow. ”
Qi Ming couldn't take care of these at all, he pushed the housekeeper away and hurriedly walked towards the main hall.
It was a horrible scene.
Qi Ming couldn't believe it.
His son turned out to be ...... It was divided into ......
"Ahh A terrible cry broke through the roof from the hall and spread to all corners of the Qi Mansion.
"Who did it? Who dares to touch my Qi Ming's son? ”
An angry roar was accompanied by a loud noise, and everyone trembled.
Qi Ming's eyes were full of red, full of hatred and killing intent, like a demon who chose to devour people.
"What the hell is going on? Whoever did it, tell me clearly! ”
The butler knelt on the ground and trembled, "Master, yes...... It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”
Qi Ming only felt a buzz in his head, and the whole world fell silent.
"You, say, what?"
He repeated through gritted teeth, his voice eerie and low, with a chilling murderous aura.
The housekeeper trembled and stumbled: "Yes, the prince took Zhan Jun to the Tage Tower, it is said that it is for the ...... Grab a beauty, and then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will ...... the eldest young master"
He also heard from the family who came back, it is said that at that time, Zhanjun took more than a dozen forbidden soldiers and beat them half to death and drove them out of the Song Tower.
Then they waited for the young master outside the building, but they were nowhere to be seen.
Worried that he would be punished for going back, he kept delaying and did not return home.
It wasn't until news came from the market that I knew that Qi Yuanqing had been killed.
They immediately ran back to the house to tell the master, and it took a full day to recover the incomplete corpses.
Qi Ming only felt a rumbling in his head, as if there were countless thunderbolts exploding, his ears were buzzing, his chest was rolling in severe pain, and he almost fainted.
"It's the prince again!"
