Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Hidden Righteousness

That night, Fan Zongyin set up a banquet in the mansion to catch the wind for Qin Hui, Wei Qing and Xiao Qinchuan also accompanied the last seat, and returned happily after a pout, Qin Hui arranged for everyone to temporarily live in the Lingyin Temple outside Lin'an City, and Wei Qing and Cao Lushi brothers lived in a house.

After returning to the house, Cao Lu hadn't fallen asleep yet, Wei Qing closed the door and gently called Cao Lu, and took out the letter left by Ha Miqi to show him, Cao Lu wondered after reading it: "What is written on this, where did you get this thing, senior brother?"

Wei Qing whispered about the situation before his death, Cao Lu picked up the letter and read it carefully a few times, and then pointed to a few of the names: "I have heard the names of several people mentioned by the master, they are all famous heroes in the martial arts, I don't know why Ha Mi Qi is collecting the names of these people, and what do these people have to do with Brother Qin?"

"Could it be that the Jin people are planning to buy these people", Cao Lu immediately shook his head and rejected his speculation, "If that's the case, there's no need for Ha Mi Chi to leave the letter to you temporarily."

"I don't know what kind of calculation Ha Mi Qi is playing, but I always feel that there is something strange in the middle", Wei Qing shook his head and said, "This is not busy in advance, just let our senior brothers know for the time being, and it is not too late to tell others when we find out the clue."

Cao Lu said: "I think we can discuss it with Brother Zhou, firstly, he is well-informed and can help us come up with ideas, and secondly, he does not have a deep relationship with Brother Qin, and he will not have preconceived ideas when looking at people and things."

Wei Qing nodded and took the letter back into his arms, blew out the oil lamp on the table, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go to Brother Zhou to discuss it when I have time, let's not guess for now, go to bed early, and after the brother of the meeting settles down properly, our senior brother will go to find out the people on the letter one by one, and we can always get to the bottom of it."

Early in the morning of the second day, this Lingyin Temple was lively, many of Qin Hui's old colleagues or classmates came to visit in an endless stream, but fortunately, most of the people who came were some scholars, and they were not too noisy, but they still tossed out a little bit of the meaning of the tea house in this Buddhist holy place.

The people who came had to ask about Qin Hui's return to the south, Qin Hui first held his own identity, and secondly, he also wanted to win the trust of others, so he never answered in person, and Wei Qing and Xiao Qinchuan told it on their behalf. Many visitors seemed to be unbelieving after hearing this, and repeatedly asked about the details, and raised their own questions, Wei Qing and Xiao Qinchuan both followed Qin Hui's explanation in advance, and just said the truth.

After a few days, Qin Hui suddenly arranged a table in the backyard of the temple and invited everyone to gather for a banquet, including Li Rui and Liao Lingping, who were also invited.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone was embarrassed when they talked about the previous tribulations and experiences, Qin Hui got up and said: "We are destined to know each other, and we can go through hardships and life and death together, and it is even more fateful, why don't we marry Jinlan here, and in the future, we will share blessings and misfortunes, and do the next vigorous cause together, I don't know what you want?"

Wei Qing and Xiao Qinchuan both agreed angrily, and Qin Hui smiled and said to Cao Lu, who was silent, "Brother Cao Xian, doesn't he dislike being despicable and unwilling to bow down to me?"

"Why, it's just...... It's just ......" Cao Luchang blushed and twisted, "I'm just an ordinary person, I never thought I could be a brother with a big official like you, I'm afraid...... I'm afraid you'll look down on me."

Qin Hui laughed when he heard this, and held Cao Lu's shoulder and said: "Brother Cao Xian is a straightforward person on weekdays, how can I act like a daughter today, I know each other in Weimo, we know each other in tribulation, and we know each other in life and death, why care about the worldly nobles and lowly, if you still mind, I will definitely bow to you even if I resign from my official position."

Xiao Qinchuan also smiled and said: "Aren't my senior brother and you also white, why should you be light-hearted", Cao Lu heard everyone say this, so he smiled and nodded in agreement.

Qin Hui turned to Zhou Peng again and bowed, "I don't know what Brother Zhou thinks?"

Zhou Peng shook his head lightly and said: "I'm used to being alone, I don't like to be stumped by worldly feelings, so you don't need to count me in it."

Qin Hui's face suddenly showed disappointment, and he wanted to persuade again with his mouth half open, but finally stopped not speaking, turned to Wei Qing and the three of them and squeezed out a little smile and said: "Okay, then the four of us brothers will be righteous here, heaven and earth are the proof, and this love will always be remembered in the heart."

Wei Qing looked at Li Rui and Liao Lingping and said, "Why don't you come together."

Xiao Qinchuan's face changed, he turned his head to look at Li Rui but did not speak, Li Rui and Liao Lingping were also silent, neither opening their mouths to admit nor refusing politely. Qin Hui smiled and grabbed Wei Qing and said in a low voice: "Is it not good like this, why do you want to be a brother and sister, alas, you are really ...... It's stupid."

The four of them immediately lined up the incense case, knelt on the ground and prayed: "The emperor and the queen of heaven are the witnesses, and now there are Jiangning Qin Hui, Xianyang Xiao Qinchuan, Yanshan Wei Qing, and Lu'an Cao Lu are married to different surnames.

I wish Bi Xu the New Year's teeth, Qin Hui is the eldest brother, Xiao Qinchuan is second, Wei Qing is third, and Cao Lu is the last. Qin Hui smiled and helped the three of them up in turn and said: "There is news in the DPRK that the elder brother will be reinstated as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites in a few days, and the second brother already has the crown belt of sacrificing his life, I plan to be promoted as a member of the Ministry of Rites, and work with me, and recommend the third brother and the fourth brother as the military position of Chengxinlang, and go to the front of the Imperial Camp Division to command the army."

Qin Hui patted Xiao Qinchuan on the shoulder and said: "Second brother, my uncle has great expectations for you, and I hope that you can add a bit of culture to the lintel of the Xiao family, and today I finally got what I wanted, and I didn't live up to his expectations for you."

Xiao Qinchuan hurriedly bowed down and thanked him, Qin Hui turned his head and smiled again to look at Wei Qing and Cao Lu, Wei Qing hesitated: "Big brother...... It's not that I don't accept your kindness, it's just that I have never intended to be an official, let alone lead troops to fight, not to mention that I am a member of the beggar gang, and the gang rules prohibit it, so I think it's better to forget it."

Seeing Wei Qing say this, Cao Lu also echoed: "Yes, the beggar gang has always strictly forbidden people to be officials privately, if they annoy the law enforcement elders, it will be bad to come to the door to ask for the crime."

Qin Hui said: "The beggar gang is the chivalrous leader of the martial arts, and now is the time to contribute to the country, how can you refuse to call the gang as the general to lead the soldiers, so let's go to the elders of the Ming Gang first, and then come to accept the official position after getting the promise."

Wei Qing couldn't force his resignation anymore, so he had to agree, and everyone immediately reopened the cups and drank until the night was drunk and drunk, and then returned to the house to rest. After a few days, the imperial court really issued a document to let Qin Hui fill the vacancy of the Ministry of Rites, and soon after, Xiao Qinchuan also hung up the official position of a member of the Ministry of Rites and followed Qin Hui to do things.

On this day, Wei Qing found Zhou Peng alone, and after finding the letter left by Ha Miqi, he handed it over, and said: "Brother Zhou, I have another difficult matter, and I want to ask you to help me get an idea."
