"Dad, I think I am capable enough to protect the Su Mansion. You are also old, and you have been busy with state affairs all day long, and you are exhausted. If you plan and plan alone for the Su Mansion, it is really unnecessary.
Why don't you speak up and we can think of something together?"
Su Tingye was startled. He didn't expect that Su Zhen already knew the truth.
Su Tingye looked at Su Zhen for a long time, and finally shook his head. He still refused to go down the steps given by Su Zhen.
"Do what you want to do, and your father will protect you no matter what. As for your mother."
"Dad, don't worry. I talked to my mother last night and she doesn't blame you."
"How is she doing?"
Su Zhen thought for a long time and said: "As you guessed in your previous letter to me, I am indeed poisoned, and the poison has penetrated deep into the bone marrow."
"Can it still be saved?"
Su Tingye was so nervous that he clasped his hands tightly together and stared at Su Zhen with his eyes, feeling very fearful and worried in his heart.
"There is help, yes, but this poison has been dormant in her body for many years, and it was not revealed until the toxicity occurred. Even if the poison is detoxified, she must take good care of herself."
"Well! It's good to be saved!" Su Tingye exhaled heavily and sat weakly on the chair, as if he had aged dozens of years all of a sudden.
"Dad, it's about Qi Yin"
"You go and investigate the case thoroughly first, and don't worry about her."
"Okay! But let me preface this. Before the case is investigated, if she dares to hurt people in the house, don't blame the child for being cruel."
Su Zhen's eyes were full of murderous intent, Su Tingye nodded, the indifference on his face was completely opposite to that in Qixia Garden.
That's right, Su Tingye has been acting. He doesn't love Qi Yin at all, but for some reasons, he has to destroy his reputation.
Junlanyuan.
Qi Yin moved her children into Junlan Garden. In fact, she didn't bring many things with her, so she settled in quickly.
Aunt Wen arranged for her a wet nurse, two maids and a boy to take care of him and the child's food and daily life.
She is just a roommate, so the treatment is already excellent.
After Aunt Wen left, she distributed the few silver coins she had with her to several servants as rewards.
Watching them each busy, Qi Yin stroked the bandage on his forehead. Suddenly, he stopped a maid and asked with a smile, "How long have you been here in the house?"
"Girl, all slaves are born in the same family." The maid who spoke replied respectfully.
"Where did you work before?"
"Go back to my girl, I'm working in the utility room."
"What's your name?"
"My name is Lian'er."
"Does Master come to the backyard often?"
"Yes."
"Then what is his relationship with his wife and two aunts?"
"The master and his wife have a deep love for each other, and they are very kind to their two aunts. The family has always been harmonious and harmonious."
Lian'er's answer was impeccable, and Qi Yin knew that nothing could be gained from her mouth, so he stopped asking any more questions.
She had no idea that Su Zhen and Su Tingye had already stripped her down.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, holding the child in his arms and humming a tune to coax him to sleep.
Recalling that Su Zhen said that she would help her reverse the case, her face became inexplicably weird.
Siwei Mansion Office.
In front of the yamen of Siwei Mansion, Yu Changqing and a group of officials and yamen lined up in order.
They were dressed in flying fish suits and carried embroidered spring knives on their waists. All of them had majestic weapons and uniform movements, and each one looked more difficult to mess with than the other.
"Subordinate, please see the minister."
Su Zhen quickly turned over and dismounted, and said with a smile: "Colleagues, long time no see."
She has an innate ruthlessness in her body, and with a casual glance, she can't help but reveal a compelling pressure.
"Your Excellency, you should take a rest today, but you have something important to explain when you come to the government office?"
Yu Changqing took a step forward and bowed his hands.
His attitude was respectful but measured, and he did not flatter or be jealous of Su Zhen because of her promotion.
"Brother Yu, you're welcome. I'm here because I have an urgent matter and I want to ask your help."
"My lord, please come in."
Su Zhen nodded and walked quickly inside.
After entering the inner hall, Su Zhen asked everyone except Yu Changqing and Jin Lian to retreat.
After the three of them sat down, Su Zhen said: "Brother Yu, there is no need for us to be so unfamiliar with each other. You and Brother Jin both saved my life. In the past, I was in jail and wanted, thanks to the two of you.
Finally, you two are Su’s brothers, please call me You Ning immediately, don’t always come and go.”
"Okay! Then we should be respectful rather than obey."
Jin Lian and Su Zhen had been in Jiangdu for several months, so they naturally got to know each other better, so they agreed directly after hearing the words.
Yu Changqing nodded: "Okay! You Ning, I listen to you."
Su Zhen nodded with satisfaction: "Brother Jin, have the prisoners and evidence we brought back from Jiangdu been properly disposed of?"
"I have vomited out everything that needs to be vomited, and I have written all the notes and submitted them to the emperor. This time, the court is going to change its blood. They probably hate you to death." Jin Lian gloated, smiling from ear to ear.
"Hate me? Did I let them take bribes and pervert the law? Did I let them prey on the common people together with Jiangdu's dog officials? I'm so tired of living that I dare to rob disaster relief funds! If you have the guts to turn into an evil ghost and come to me, don't be the one to come.
They all look down upon them."
Su Zhen returned to her former careless self.
Jin Lian touched his chin and said: "The prince has the upper hand this time. It's no wonder that the emperor hastily recalled King Qin to check and balance him. But it's useless to come back. Even if he lifts the ban, he is not the one who can provoke the prince now because he is so powerful.
of."
"Jin Lian!"
Hearing Yu Changqing's scolding, Jin Lian quickly shut up.
Su Zhen smiled and said nothing, and then started talking about business.
"Actually, I came here to review an old case. However, I want to check it out in private first, and then inform the emperor after I find out everything."
"You want to kill first and then show off?"
"This case involves a wide range of things and we cannot let too many people know about it."
"What case is it?"
"The case of Qi family collaborating with the enemy and treason."
"What?! Which Qi family? Ruling Qi family?" Jin Lian said in surprise.
"right."
"But the files on this case have been destroyed."
"Destroyed? Why was it destroyed again? Collaboration with the enemy and treason is a serious crime! How could it be destroyed?!"
"The evidence of Qi Songlin's crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason is conclusive. He confessed his crime personally. As for the files being destroyed, it was an order from above."
"Your superiors? Which superiors? How many superiors? Your Majesty?"
As soon as Su Zhen finished speaking, Jin Lian covered her mouth, and he looked outside in horror.
"Are you crazy? Stop yelling!"
Su Zhen pushed his hand away and said dissatisfiedly: "There is no case file, so there should be an approximate year, right?"
"How can we remember this?"
"It's the 29th year of Shangde." Yu Changqing suddenly said.
Su Zhen whispered about this year, and suddenly an idea flashed, wasn't that the year when Princess Jingyao was kidnapped by horse thieves?
The case of Princess Jingyao back then was also ordered to be destroyed by the emperor.
"Brother Yu, are you sure?"
"I'm sure, because just after the Qi family's incident, General Dan Ying was also ordered to be killed by the emperor."
