Hu Qiheng was not an important figure at first, but because he was associated with Nian Gengyao, he became quite eye-catching for a while.
But no one expected that what was originally a self-defense and understatement would lead to a thunderstorm over the capital.
Hu Qiheng actually sued Nian Gengyao!
And all of them are crimes that cost human life.
Disobeying the imperial edict, using troops without authorization, killing officials without authorization, buying and selling officials. Any of these are enough to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan.
As for those who robbed women, raped women, indulged slaves, indulged in extravagance, and so on, they all pale in comparison to those crimes and are not a big deal at all.
The whole court was in an uproar.
Isn't Hu Qiheng a member of Nian Gengyao? His current official position was recommended by Nian Gengyao? How do you say they fell out of love?
It's a dog.
Everyone couldn't help but guess, what was the reason why Hu Qiheng and Nian Gengyao turned against each other?
Could it be that the emperor did not value Nian Gengyao as much as he thought?
Only then did they come up with such a guess, and didn't want the news to spread soon after. Everyone suddenly realized that it was the woman who was causing the trouble.
Even the storyteller in the teahouse began to tell a few things about Nian Gengyao and Hu Qiheng's concubine.
It is said that Hu Qiheng's words at that time made Lord Long Live furious. He first beat Hu Qiheng forty times, thinking that Hu Qiheng was making a false accusation. Because Lord Ma Qi was present at the time, the emperor asked Lord Ma Qi to thoroughly investigate Nian Gengyao and make sure that General Nian was innocent.
.
Later, he also rewarded Nian Gengyao with something and told him to wait for the result with peace of mind and not to be anxious.
Liu Ye'er looked at the few new books and a set of pens, inks, paper and inkstones given by the emperor, and immediately sneered, "Master, Ye'er must have expected it. They are trying to kill me."
Nian Gengyao slowly closed his eyes. With the behavior of Long Live Lord, who would think that Long Live Lord wanted to kill him, a hero. Even if he died, it was Ma Qi who wanted to bring down the Nian family, which is different from Long Live Lord.
It doesn't matter.
When Ma Qi saw that Lord Long Live had given him this job, he was immediately frightened. Did Lord Long Live know something? Otherwise, why didn't Lord Long Live tell him to avoid it when Hu Qiheng saw him coming?
Especially when it comes to investigating Nian Gengyao, what is the appropriate way to investigate?
In order not to make any mistakes, he could only hand over the matter to the Criminal Department. After all, it involved the unauthorized killing of officials, and the Criminal Department was the most suitable.
Unexpectedly, within three days, these bastards from the Ministry of Punishment actually listed the ninety-two major crimes of Gengyao in the next year.
Ma Qi was immediately dumbfounded. The guilt and responsibility had been determined, and Nian Gengyao had no choice but to deal with it.
But he himself has taken the blame.
How could he forget that the Criminal Department is the yamen supervised by Thirteenth Master, and without Thirteenth Master's word, this matter would not be possible.
But who does Thirteenth Master represent? Naturally, Long Live the Lord.
Ma Qi could only smile bitterly. He originally thought that the emperor wanted to use Nian Gengyao's knife against him. Who would have thought that Long live the shot was a false shot, but the real purpose was to use himself to capture Nian Gengyao.
Nian Gengyao had just made military exploits and was convicted. This case was handled by himself.
What will others think?
You don't need to think about it to know that everyone feels that they want to take advantage of the eldest brother and become a relative who no one dares to take advantage of.
He reached out and slapped his forehead fiercely, miscalculation! Miscalculation!
I have been through two dynasties. First I was confused and dazzled by the late emperor's tactics, and now I am put in danger by today's methods.
The people sitting on this dragon throne are not simple people.
Ma Qi also simply stamped his seal on the criminal department's case closing statement and submitted it to the emperor since he knew what Long Live the Lord meant.
The fourth master flipped through it casually and said very calmly: "Nian Gengyao has failed to fulfill the divine grace. Now he will cut off his official position and seize the title. Give him poisonous wine and leave his body intact. Let's give him some dignity."
Ma Qi responded before slowly retreating.
Later, it was said that Liu Ye'er had a deep love for Nian Gengyao. After collecting Nian Gengyao's body for burial, he died in front of Nian Gengyao's grave after a glass of poisonous wine.
After this incident, Ma Qi fell ill, and immediately handed over a note, praying to become an official because of his old age.
Long live the Lord did not grant permission. But Ma Qi rarely spoke about some political matters.
Especially when it comes to personnel arrangements, there is a lot of restraint.
Lin Yutong's belly was already showing her pregnancy. The weather was slowly getting warmer. She also wanted to go out for a walk.
During this time, because of Nian Gengyao's incident, the whole capital was filled with a different atmosphere. No one in the garden dared to joke loudly.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they left the door, Nanny Yuan chased after her, "Master, just now Eunuch Su Peisheng sent news that Master Jiu's house called the imperial doctor, I'm afraid that Jiu Fujin is about to give birth."
"You're about to give birth?" Lin Yutong was surprised, "Isn't it less than a month? How many months is it now? Eight months?"
"Yes!" Nanny Yuan frowned and said, "Last time you went to see me, I told you that 80% of them are not single babies." She said and gestured in front of her belly. "Six months old."
At that time, it looked like someone else was giving birth."
Then there is nothing to say about this luck. She told Nanny Yuan, "Just keep an eye on it and make sure nothing happens. The key is, if a girl is born again, don't let the couple fight."
Grandma Yuan froze slightly, thinking that this was not impossible.
If he really had three more princesses, Jiu Fujin would definitely have the heart of Jiu Ye.
At this time, Master Jiu was sitting outside the delivery room, sweating all over. Why was he giving birth prematurely again?
Needless to say, everyone knows that this must be another nest.
"This mother-in-law is really troublesome." Master Jiu muttered, "She doesn't give birth. She really doesn't give birth. She hasn't had a litter for several years. It's really scary to give birth to one litter after another.
Doesn’t this cost people’s lives?”
As soon as Master Ten entered the yard, he heard his Ninth Brother chanting. This made him nervous again.
He didn't know whether his ninth brother was more worried about the safety of his ninth sister-in-law and the child, or whether he was more worried about whether there was anything in his belly.
"Shall we go out and wait?" Master Ten pulled Master Jiu and said.
Master Jiu shook his head resolutely, "I will personally take charge this time. I don't believe I won't be able to give birth to an elder brother."
Master Shi has a dark face. He gave birth to three princesses last time. Was it because he took him out and did not personally take charge? The children can run and jump, and they are sweet-mouthed and can say anything. He turned away and put the blame on
On myself.
Who are these people?
He sat with her resignedly. The key was that he was afraid that the children would all be Gege again, and he couldn't stand the carelessness of his ninth brother.
Otherwise, what would it be like for my brother-in-law to stay outside when my sister-in-law gives birth?
Wu Fujin is also very heavy and can't come this time. Shi Fujin is just pregnant and can't go out.
No one was in charge of the inner chamber. Fortunately, when Nanny Yuan came, the cervix had not yet been opened.
After waiting for most of the day, Jiu Fujin even ate two meals and snacks inside, but there was still no movement.
"I asked, are you giving birth or not?" Master Jiu wanted to jump in, but he didn't want to be so tormented.
Jiu Fujin was so painful that he was sweating all over, and he roared fiercely, "Do you think this is laying an egg? I want to give birth too, but I have to be willing to come out with these evil obstacles, right?"
After all this fuss, it was getting dark.
Only then did the palace mouth slowly open, and an uncomfortable squeaking sound came from the room.
I thought it was going to be fast, but who knew it would be fast this time.
Then I heard Jiu Fujin scream, and then I heard the nanny inside shouting: "Try harder, you can see the end."
Finally giving birth.
Master Jiu wishes he could pray to all the gods and Buddhas in the sky. Please hurry up.
Soon, I heard a cry like a cat. It was childbirth.
Before Master Jiu asked, he heard the sound of bangs.
Master Shi was stunned and said with a smile, "This child was born before and after Zishi, but after Zishi, the birthday became two days. Sister-in-law Jiu is really good at giving birth."
Master Jiu felt relieved, it was okay, they were twins, they were born within two days, so there was no taboo.
It was Master Shi who spoke hurriedly first and asked in a loud voice: "What happened? My brother is still Gege."
Master Jiu was so scared that he didn't dare to speak.
After hearing a long silence inside, Grandma Yuan's voice came to mind, "Congratulations to Master Jiu, you are... Princess."
Master Jiu sat down on the ground with a pop.
Master Shi got up and helped him, "It's okay! It's okay! I haven't revealed the trump card yet. Isn't there still something in my stomach?" (. )
