86_86438 It turned out that Qin Sangu followed Hu Yong to the Zhen family. The servants of the Zhen family had little contact with Lin Hai the previous day, and were quite surprised. They read at midnight until Zhen Yingjia came back. They were shocked and called Hu Yong in for questioning.
Hu Yong didn't know anything, so he just said everything he could say over and over again. Zhen Yingjia hurriedly went inside to meet their old lady.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhen said: "Lin Hai has noticed something."
Zhen Yingjia was so frightened that her calves became weak: "What should we do!"
The old lady said in a deep voice: "Why are you panicking? He has no evidence and doesn't dare to do anything to us. Now he is just testing us. Even if he has evidence, he is not afraid. The old saint is still here." After thinking for a long time, he said, "Let's
It’s no longer possible, so write to Mr. Xu quickly and ask him what to do next.”
Zhen Yingjia hurriedly wrote a handwritten letter, recorded the matter in detail, and handed it to his confidant, ordering him to send it away quickly.
Although Qin Sangu was close to the window, she couldn't hear anything, so she followed the confidant all the way, and managed to steal the letter halfway and read it, but she didn't write the name, so she didn't know who it was addressed to. The confidant behind her
The servant arrived at Yuzhang and was shocked when he finally entered the residence of Jiangxi Commander-in-Chief Xu Hong. Xu Hong rarely interacted with people, so he should be a lonely minister. The Commander-in-Chief's Mansion was heavily guarded, and Qin San
It was difficult for my aunt to find out the details. After waiting for two days, the servant of the Zhen family left the General Military Mansion. Qin Sangu followed him hurriedly, knocked him unconscious at night, and searched his body. There was no letter, so I guess it was
I had no choice but to follow him back to Jinling.
After Zhen Yingjia got the news about Xu Hong, she immediately ordered Hu Yong to be thrown into a well and ordered everyone in the family to restrain themselves, but there was nothing else to do. Qin Sangu waited for a few days and saw that he did not move, so she rushed back to Yangzhou to report to him.
Lin Hai returned to Ming Dynasty.
Lin Hai was a little surprised when he heard this, and frowned for a long time. Jia Si, his son, and Yang Song were both very calm people, and no one spoke quietly. Finally, Lin Hai sighed and asked: "This matter
Have you folded your head?"
Qin Sangu said: "I haven't reported a single word yet."
Lin Hai nodded slowly: "Excellent! Take the trouble to return to Beijing and report to the King in person!"
Qin Sangu was startled.
Yao'er frowned and asked, "Sir, what do you mean, even the messengers are no longer reliable?"
Lin Hai smiled bitterly and said: "We can't afford to offend the people behind Xu Hong. Let's see how the saint makes his decision."
Jia Siqi said: "The saints are already saints, and the gentleman is the saint's confidant. Since someone wants to harm the gentleman, why should there be any hesitation?"
Yao'er suddenly figured it out, couldn't help but feel moved, and looked at Lin Hai worriedly.
Lin Hai waved his hand and said, "Let the two of them discuss it themselves." He shook his sleeves, stood up and left.
Yao'er saw him glance at himself when he turned around, and hurriedly followed him.
Back in the house, Lin Hai sighed, stood by the window with his hands behind his hands and said, "Xu Hong is the old saint's confidant who can cut his heart out."
Yao'er said: "I guessed it."
"After all, he is still caught between his father and his son."
Yao'er couldn't help but ask: "Why is this so? Didn't the old sage decide to pass the chair to the sage himself?"
Lin Haidao: "The word "power" makes people forget everything in the world. The old saint abdicated because his body could not be tired all the time. He did not really want to hand over the country. Now he is still suppressed everywhere and can't move at all. The saint seems to be a
The housekeeper’s.”
Yao'er said: "Cong'er heard gossip from outside that the saint was not the best among the princes at that time, and the wise king was smarter."
Lin Hai smiled and said: "The wise king is really smart, and the other princes are not bad either - speaking of it, he is not outstanding now. Prince Yitada back then was really a person, and he was actually the most talented one."
Yao'er had long known that Gong Sanyi used to be a member of Prince Yi Zhong, so he was very interested and asked quickly: "Why was he deposed?"
Lin Hai sighed: "He is different from a saint. He has been a prince since he was a child. He knows that the country will be his own sooner or later, so how can he be willing to be a puppet for decades? He couldn't wait, so he wanted to climb up to the stage by himself, and he ended up like that.
The old sage wants an obedient housekeeper who is willing to take care of things for him until he dies. Naturally, he cannot be too smart. It would be best if he is somewhat capable but not very outstanding." After another pause, he continued, "I think.
To control the court, besides the army, all he needs is money. Do you think he doesn’t know that as soon as he dies, all these old ministers who owe money to the treasury will confiscate their homes and exterminate their families? However, if they don’t pay back the money from the court, the saint will be poor.
I can be the master for one day, but I am the saint’s money bag.”
Yao'er said: "Even if there is no husband, there are others. Why would he do this to him?"
Lin Hai smiled bitterly and said: "Others...may not be as stupid as me. Besides, he didn't ask Xu Hong to take action, otherwise my life would have been lost. Zhen Yingjia is really not an expert at killing people, so he just gave it a try. If
If it works, it will be done. If it doesn't work, the only thing that will be dragged down is the Zhen family. The Zhen family does not have much power, it is just a sign to show everyone that the world is still in the hands of the old sage. At most, the sage removed him from his position, but now he has
I dare not investigate and deal with it. Also, if it succeeds, it will be a threat to my successor, and if it fails, it will be a threat to me. Even a saint would not dare to disobey, but I didn't give him face. It should be noted that he wanted my life as if it was a pinch.
He's like a dead ant. Weis..." He sighed and said after half a day, "I think this matter will be settled... Don't tell Cong'er after you return to Beijing. He's too courageous. I'm afraid there will be chaos.
Come."
Yao'er had already clenched his fists when he heard this, and couldn't help frowning: "Is this the only way we can swallow this loss?"
Lin Hai sighed again: "As a human minister, I have to suffer a lot. Anyway, I am still alive."
No matter how honest Yao'er is by nature, he has been with Jia Cong for so many years, and it is impossible for him not to be influenced by his temper. So he nodded with a sincere face and said, "Sir, don't worry, I won't tell Cong'er this."
It’s about something.”
Lin Hai Anran patted his shoulder and believed him.
Yao'er advised: "Sir, you... why don't you just let him scare you. Even the saint is just his steward, who do you think you are? It's normal for a scholar to be timid. Why risk your life?"
Xian is trying to collect money for others. Besides, didn’t the Rongguo Mansion just give the imperial court a lot of money? The saint will not be short of money for a while.”
Lin Hai didn't even know whether to laugh or cry, but he felt deep in his heart and said: "Even if I am frightened, I have to be frightened according to the order."
Yao'er felt relieved and nodded vigorously.
The next day, Qin Sangu rushed to the capital to meet Situ Pan in person and explain in detail the affairs in the south of the Yangtze River. Because she was a woman and knew the difficulties of women, she weakened Lin Daiyu's plan and only pushed it on Jia Cong.
He has always been bold.
Situ Pan had guessed that Lin Hai was safe ever since he got the news that Yang Song showed up at the Lin Mansion. Now he saw her and became more and more relieved. When he heard that it was Jia Cong who incited everyone to kidnap him in the name of Lin Hai's daughter, he couldn't help but laugh and cry.
. Hearing the word "Xu Hong", he was also shocked and asked quickly: "What does Mr. Lin mean?"
Qin Sangu said: "He didn't say anything. He only asked me to come and see the prince in person. Naturally, my subordinates didn't dare to ask."
Situ Pan nodded and said: "Of course, this matter has nothing to do with you. Just take a break. There are some interesting things going on in Beijing now. You can ask about it."
Qin Sangu was stunned for a moment, then she agreed, turned around and went back to her home.
Situ Pan entered the palace immediately, regardless of the fact that it was already getting late.
When the saint saw him coming, he knew something was urgent, so he left Concubine Hui behind and went out to see him. Situ Pan then kicked everyone else out and told him in detail from the beginning. The saint was stunned when he heard this.
For half a day, Dai Quan, who was guarding outside the temple, heard the continuous sound of smashing things inside. Probably everything that could be smashed was smashed.
A few days later, Zhen Yingjia, the president of Jinling Provincial Tirenyuan, was dismissed from his post due to a mistake. However, he was not guilty and only lost his official title. The saint went to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager, but he became more respectful.
On the day Sangu Qin returned to the capital, many people couldn't wait to tell her that there was a rumor in the capital that Huo Xuan was Lord Rabbit and that he ran away in anger. They couldn't help but smile and asked who of his subordinates did the good deed. Li Sheng and Ding Ming both smiled and swore that they would be with them.
Wu Gan. Qin Sangu didn't guess Jia Cong first, so she turned around and went to Feng Mansion to ask Feng Ziying.
Feng Ziying smiled and said: "But you don't care about me. I don't know how to cook noodles."
Qin Sangu glanced at him.
Feng Ziying said: "Cong'er came to me to explain to me a few days ago. He said that when you left, you wouldn't let him do anything random, so he didn't do anything. He only happened to meet his nephew once at the home of Master Wu.
He was hungry, so he kindly cooked him a bowl of noodles that were not very tasty. The man asked him if there was anything he needed help with, and he didn't want to owe him a favor..."
Qin Sangu twitched her lips and asked, "Did he come up with the idea?"
Feng Ziying smiled and said nothing.
Sangu Qin didn't know what to say for a long time, and suddenly she started laughing while holding the case.
Unexpectedly, she only went back and showed her face a few times, but Princess Nan'an came again. In the past, Sangu Qin was only afraid that Huo Xuan would send troops to force her, but she was not afraid of this old woman, so she ordered her to come in with a smile.
It was the first time that the concubine saw such a dilapidated house, and she shed tears: "My son, I have suffered so much for you."
Behind Qin Sangu stood Li Sheng and Ding Ming, with Heizi lying at her feet. She calmly stood up and saluted, saying, "I wonder what you are doing when a noble person comes to visit." Heizi barked a few times.
The concubine sighed: "Qin Si, Xuan'er hasn't missed you every day these years."
Qin Sangu asked curiously: "What do you mean by your honor? I don't understand. I am a widow. My husband has been away for many years. I have never met you and have nothing to do with you. I hope you will not ruin my good reputation."
The concubine stepped forward to grab her hand, but Qin Sangu dodged and locked her throat with a flick of her backhand. The maids and women around her exclaimed, "How brave!"
Qin Sangu sneered and said: "I think you are a noble person. I have tolerated your slanderous words and slanders. Why do you want to do something? Although my surname is Qin, I am just a commoner, and I am not easy to bully." She turned her strength outward.
With a flick, the old concubine fell heavily to the blue brick ground.
Heizi stood up on his hind legs and barked ferociously.
The concubine had never been on a battlefield in her life, and when she fell, she saw stars in her eyes and couldn't get up at all. Where had she seen this before? She was so frightened that her limbs trembled, and the maids and women rushed forward to help her up. One woman couldn't help but
Pointing at Sangu Qin, he cursed: "You little hooves that have betrayed your heart! How dare you attack the concubine!"
Heizi jumped up and bumped into her, causing her to fall backwards and fall to the ground. Her screams spread to the other side of the moat. Heizi took advantage of her and barked, scaring the woman immediately.
After the ban, others did not dare to come to help me.
There was the governor's nanny next to her. Looking at Qin Sangu's appearance, she knew that she was determined not to return home. Now that the prince is not at home and the prince is young, his kung fu may not be as good as this woman's. The concubine's calculations may be
He was going to fail. So he ignored his dignity and called on everyone to escort the concubine out. These women had scared Heizi to death, and they all wanted to run out after hearing this.
The nanny stayed at the end and asked Qin Sangu: "Are you really not going back home?"
Qin Sangu sneered and said, "I don't understand. Who do I really look like in your house? Or am I pretending that I look similar to that person, but in fact, I want to take away my people and steal my property?"
Property? I, Third Aunt Qin, married Brother Tieniu in an upright and dignified manner. All these years since he passed away, I have guarded him in an upright and dignified manner. I have never once worn red or worn a flower. You just accuse me of being someone else with your empty teeth.
, is there any evidence? If there is evidence, we will file a lawsuit and show it to everyone in the capital."
The grandma let out a long sigh.
Qin Sangu asked again: "Is it because your prince likes men, so he steals women from the people to use them as cover?"
The grandma was annoyed and said sarcastically: "Our prince likes men and women, don't you know?"
Qin Sangu raised her eyebrows: "I only met him once on the street in February. I have never seen this person before. How could I know?"
The nanny then understood that she was ready to deny her account, so she looked around again and asked: "You have such a big antique shop and heard that you have other properties, why do you live in this place?"
Qin Sangu said: "This is the place where brother Tieniu and I are married. I'm afraid his soul is still there and I can't bear to leave."
This was a dead end. The nanny had no choice but to turn around and leave.
Has Princess Nan'an ever suffered such a big loss? After returning home, she called the prince over and asked him to report to the officials immediately and file a lawsuit to bring Qin Sangu back. She also asked someone to beat her up first to vent her anger.
.
The prince hurriedly said: "I have heard about this too. I just heard that the woman refused to admit that she was Qin's concubine, and there were various documents and witnesses to prove it, but we can't produce any evidence."
The concubine said angrily: "What more evidence do you need? Her face is the evidence!"
The prince said worriedly: "If she has to say that they are just similar in appearance, it will be extremely difficult to win without any other evidence. Why don't I send someone to find out the truth first and get some evidence."
Upon hearing this, the concubine hurriedly said: "My son, you are still thoughtful! Go quickly and be more careful."
The prince went out in response and went to his mother's place. He told his mother everything about his meeting with his grandmother just now and what he had heard before.
Princess Nan'an nodded repeatedly and said: "What you said is absolutely true. The woman Bao Buqi is not Qin's concubine at all. There are so many people in the world, Bao Buqi really just has a similar appearance."
How could the prince not know what his mother was thinking? He said with a smile: "Don't worry, mother, that woman is definitely not Qin's concubine. The son will go back and prepare all the evidence to dispel his grandmother's idea of plotting her return to the palace." The princess smiled and shook his hand.
After rubbing him for a long time, I let him go.
Sure enough, the prince found a lot of evidence, including oral confessions and physical evidence, all proving that Qin Sangu was the wife of Qin Tieniu in the west of Beijing and had nothing to do with Qin Si, the concubine of the Nan'an Palace. He even sent someone to apologize to Qin Sangu.
When Princess Nan'an saw this, she immediately understood that her grandson and daughter-in-law were both unwilling to let Qinsi go back home, and would rather let her many properties go in vain. She was actually very angry. Sangu Qin was afraid of being retaliated by the princess, so she had prepared everything in vain.
I tried many tricks, but after waiting for a long time, nothing happened, so I went to take care of my own affairs with peace of mind. From then on, I was on the same page as the Prince of Nan'an. This is a story for another day.
Not long after, Lin Hai, the Yangzhou salt censor, recovered from his illness and returned to his official duties. However, he left most of the work to Tan Ying, while he cultivated flowers and bamboos every day, wrote music and read books, and was quite at ease. Tan Ying hurriedly asked him about it.
Regarding the burned documents, Lin Hai sighed: "How can I remember so many of them?" Not long ago, he received a very generous gift from the Zhen family in Jinling, and he accepted it safely. Although Zhen Yingjia lost his official position, the Zhen family was even more arrogant than before.
Three points.
When Jia Si and his son saw what was going on in Jiangnan, they also said goodbye to Lin Hai and returned to Beijing. Yaoerte repeatedly asked Yang Song to take care of his husband: "Nothing else matters, only safety is the first priority."
Yang Song smiled and said: "I am your guard, and the others have nothing to do with me." Yin personally escorted them to the boat and left.
Jia Si and his son led many brothers from the Taiping Escort Bureau to leave Yangzhou by boat, and went back to Jinling in a circle. They climbed over the fence at night and stepped on it. After a few days, they quietly charmed their housekeeper and took out the key to match it.
, and then he often went into the Zhen family's warehouse at night and moved out some small antique calligraphy and paintings. Seeing that they didn't notice, he did it many times. Calculating that his boat would be full, he shipped some more
When the money came out, various businessmen who came to Jinling to do business dispersed to various banks to deposit money and exchange for banknotes. They were busy for a month before leaving leisurely.
When the Zhen family discovered that the warehouse had been stolen, it was already the end of the year. Although the case was reported immediately, where could they go to find clues?
