"Mother, how is it?" Qin Zhun asked eagerly, ignoring Mrs. Qin's peace.
He had a good plan in his heart. Qin Zening would rather agree to be the best, but Qin Zening and Qin Jiu, brothers and sisters, are both temperamental and cold-hearted. If they don't read the least affection, they will probably not agree. However, as long as Mrs. Qin Tai is willing to come forward, if Qin Zening refuses to listen, he can do something to give Qin Zening a reputation for unfilial piety. Qin Zening’s career has just begun. Unfilial piety is a major crime. Future, can only help yourself!
Qin Zhun's heart was hot, and his eyes flashed with a certain light.
Mrs. Qin said indifferently: "I have just been to Hulu Alley. I told Brother Ning that I don't have to worry about your uncle's face and take care of you."
As if a bucket of cold water poured down, Qin Zhun couldn't believe his ears and was dumbfounded.
Qin Zhun: "???"
Qin Zhun almost didn't pinch himself to see if he was dreaming. Is his mother crazy, or is she possessed by evil?
Mrs. Qin also hoped that her son would wake up and reason with him in an angrily way: "A Zhun, you are Ning's uncle and the head of the family. It is no longer necessary to separate from your unmarried nephew. How can you let your nephew Give up your future for you?"
"mother……"
"Aquan, I know you have difficulties, but there is a reason to be a human being. Think about how your father taught you when he was alive. A man should be responsible."
Qin Zhun is going crazy, what the **** is thinking.
Qin Zhun endured the overwhelming anger and said stiffly: "Mother, don't you think about the title of your ancestor?" Isn't she afraid of losing the title of Loyalty Marquis?
Mrs. Qin Tai slowly twisted the Buddhist beads bracelet in her hand, with a detached and open-minded look, and said with emotion: "If the title is really gone, then you will lose yourself."
In her eyes when she looked at Qin Zhun, there was no complaint, no blame, and some just helpless. It's because she didn't raise this son well...Compared with the eldest son who passed away, the second son always had a little less responsibility.
Qin Zhun: "???"
Mother is blaming him?
Mrs. Qin said again: "If the title is really gone, our family will go back to our hometown. Although you have made a mistake, you will not fall into a low status. Our Qin family is a scholarly family. In the future, descendants can still take the imperial examination. ."
Qin Zhun was about to lift the table, feeling that his whole person had been shocked. Every word of Mrs. Qin's words seemed to be stabbed on him with a knife.
His mother is too naive to think!
"Mother, you..."
Qin Zhun wanted to say something, but was interrupted pantingly by a female voice behind: "It's not good, it's not good! The official post of Dali Temple is here!"
Qin Zhun's eyes widened, and he immediately forgot what he was about to say. He opened his mouth in disbelief, and stammered to the woman who had just entered, "You...what did you say?"
The mother-in-law said: "The officials are coming here, the servants dare not stop..."
While speaking, there was a rush of messy footsteps outside, and then seven or eight people in public uniforms rushed in, headed by a middle-aged official with a goatee.
The middle-aged official arched his hands at Qin Zhun, and said with a smile, "Master Hou, please come with me?"
He spoke politely. In fact, Qin Zhun had no other choice. The two tall and mighty yasha coldly forced them towards Qin Zhun, and clamped his arms one by one.
"..." Qin Zhun panicked, his forehead was instantly covered with cold sweat, his face was pale, and his mind went blank.
Although he knew that this matter could no longer be suppressed, he did not expect to find out Changyingku's problem so quickly...
It's over, it's all over! !
In a panic, Qin Zhun subconsciously looked at Mrs. Qin Tai on the Luohan bed, and begged: "Mother, go find Brother Ning, quickly..." His eyes were full of pleading.
Qin Zhun had been dragged out before the words were finished. The middle-aged official said "goodbye" to Mrs. Qin, and left. This group of people came and left in a hurry.
"..." Madam Qin got up, her face pale, her body trembling slightly, anxious and worried, and she almost fainted.
Mother Cui hurriedly went to support her, and didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only pat her back to give her comfort, and she was also sighing: Madam Cui has been confused for most of her life, and it is rare for her to be sober.
Mrs. Qin didn't speak for a long time, and sat back again, staring at the swaying curtain of Concubine Xiang in a dazed expression.
I don’t know how long it took, and the maid’s salute came from outside: "Madam, Madam is here..."
Before the little maid's words fell, the Xiangfei curtain had been rudely opened. Su Shi and Qin Sheng's mother and daughter hurriedly walked in, and the room suddenly became messy.
Su's complexion asked anxiously, "Master Hou...mother, Master Hou was taken away by the people from Dali Temple..."
Mrs. Qin Tai twirled the Buddhist beads bracelet, and was silent.
Su's Huarong paled. Although she angered Qin Zhun because of her nephew Su Xiyang, she knew that Qin Zhun was the pillar of the family and that Qin Zhun could not have an accident.
"Grandma, what will happen to father?" Qin Sheng asked nervously.
Mrs. Qin also wants to know.
"Boom!"
Out of the window, thunder was heard, banging on the hearts of the three women in the room, and there was an ominous breath in the air.
The entire capital was shrouded in layers of dark clouds, as if dusk had come early.
"The emperor, Qin Zhun has been taken away by the people of Dali Temple and put in prison." Commander Jin Yiwei Yuan Minggang told the emperor.
The emperor stood with his hand in front of the window, looking up at the dark clouds in the sky, with deep eyes.
What Qin Zhun committed this time was not big or small, the emperor knew about it early on. The emperor knew even more that Qin Zhun was pulled out of the bag. How could Li Yuanchun be greedy for such a big hole in Chang Yingku!
Qin Zhun is stupid!
The emperor shook his head secretly and asked, "How much money did Qin Zhun give me these days?"
Yuan Minggang replied: "There is more than half a million silver."
At the same time as the voice fell, there was another thunder in the sky. The huge lightning illuminated the dim sky for a moment, and also illuminated the emperor's face, making his eyes dark and bright.
The emperor seemed to mutter to himself: "Feng Zicheng has been suffering from heart disease for the past six months. Whenever he gets worse, he will be old. The hole in Changyingku must be filled before then..."
"Do they expect Qin Zhun to change the seller's property to fill in this hole..."
"But I'm afraid I didn't expect that Zhongyi Hou's Mansion will soon be hollowed out."
There was a hint of sarcasm in the emperor's tone.
Ever since Qin Zhun was transferred to Taipu Temple Shaoqing, the emperor knew about it, but he didn't excuse Qin Zhun's errands, but just let him go, just watching Qin Zhun commit stupidity and sink deeper and deeper until now.
Thinking of the dead old man, the emperor gave Qin Zhun many opportunities. However, Qin Zhun let him down again and again, thinking about the existence of strange goods, thinking about the merits of Conglong, but did not think about whether he had that ability. .
He was so stupid that he had asked for himself if he died, but after all, the emperor was merciful because of Master Laohou, and didn't want to watch Qin Zhun go all the way to the dark, to the point where he could take his life.
Yuan Minggang's heart was clear, and he had to sigh that Qin Zhun was the predecessor who planted the tree and the descendant took the shade. If it weren't for the old man, if the emperor was a nostalgic, Qin Zhun would probably harm the whole family.
Yuan Minggang remembered something, and then said: "Mrs. Qin Tai went to Hulu Alley today and persuaded Mr. Qin to leave Qin Zhun alone."
The emperor moved his eyebrows in surprise, did not say anything, just thinking that he could talk to the queen later.
"Zhou Xin," the emperor ordered Zhou Xin on the side, "Tell me my oral statement, let Dali Temple investigate this case first, and then the three divisions will try it."
"Yes, the emperor." Zhou Xin responded quickly and retreated with Yuan Minggang.
"Rumble..." The thunder sound became more intense and louder, and it seemed that even the sky was shaken by the continuous thunder.
Not only Qin Zhun, but half of the officials from Taipu Temple were also imprisoned this time.
In the court hall, the pot was blasted for this. The officials had been discussing the matter for several days, and some officials who had served in Taipu Temple were worried, for fear that it would be their turn next.
Qin Jiao also quickly heard about Qin Zhun's imprisonment, but she heard it from Su's mouth.
"...It's been the third day. Dali Temple has neither released people nor opened the church."
"You three uncles and four uncles are also asking for news everywhere, but you can bump into walls everywhere."
Su's nose and tears were talking, and the veil kept wiping the tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes, his eyes were red.
Qin Jiu and Qin Zening exchanged eyes with each other. When Mrs. Qin Tai came the day before yesterday, they had guessed that Qin Zhun had committed a crime. The matter was not small, but they did not expect Qin Zhun to be imprisoned so soon.
It felt as if Qin Zhun had been spotted. Qin Jiao thought, touching his chin.
Qin Zeyu didn't even know that Mrs. Qin Tai had been there that day, and was stunned when he heard Qin Zhun go to prison.
He couldn't help but think of Qin Zhun selling a lot of family properties to his sister before. It was rare to be shrewd and said: Could the second uncle's crime have something to do with money? Isn’t it often said in dramas and storytelling that those gamblers first emptied their homes for gambling, then sold their children and daughters, and then took risks... In the end, the ending was bleak.
Seeing that they were silent, Su continued crying: "Your grandmother was so worried that she couldn't eat, she couldn't sleep at night, and she was suddenly ill. Originally, she wanted to come together today, but I thought she was weak and she just stopped. "
"Brother Ning, your second uncle has just been transferred to Taipu Temple, but he was also arrested for what the predecessors committed. He was wronged."
"If you can't write two'Qin' characters in a stroke, we are divided, and that is also a family. If something happens to your second uncle, you will not be fine." There are hard, soft and hard.
Su Clan didn't want to come to the long room either, she really had no other choice.
The day before yesterday, after Qin Zhun was taken away by the officials of the Dali Temple, Mrs. Qin Tai seemed to be hit hard. No matter what she said, Mrs. Qin Tai said nothing, and the mad Su Clan could only find a way.
Su Clan returned to her natal family to inquire about the news, and wanted her family to help, but her family also angered Qin Zhun because of Su Xiyang's affairs. Several brothers said indifferently that they could do nothing, and kicked her out.
After all, her natal family is her family. Su's kneeling outside the house begged for a long time, and finally let her in. The eldest brother said: "The emperor is determined to investigate Taipu Temple thoroughly. It is useless for anyone to intercede. There is only one way to protect Qin Zhun. Take money to clear it."
After Su returned home, he rushed to make money, but found that there was not much money in the house, and even the industry was short of a lot, so he had to go to the prison to find Qin Zhun, and after repeated questioning, Qin Zhun told her that she had served for the second prince As for raising money, let her find a long room.
Therefore, Su Clan bite the bullet and came to the door today.
"I managed to take care of it yesterday, and went in to see your second uncle... Your second uncle suffered a big mouth this time. In just a few days, people have lost a lot of weight and become haggard." Su's also really distressed. As we spoke, tears began to fall again, and after receiving the new veil from the maid, she wiped the tears again.
"Now you can redeem your second uncle by spending some money, but the family really can't raise money for a while."
"You also know that your second uncle spent a lot of money a while ago to suppress bandits in Jinzhou... He is also for the country and the people, and even more for the Qin family."
In Su's view, the properties that the long house bought back at a low price are all owned by his own family. Now that his family is in trouble, if their brothers and sisters have a bit of flesh and blood, they can't ignore them, and they should return those properties.
If she sells those properties again, she will be able to raise enough money. With her family's help, Qin Zhun will be able to release it.
Su lowered his posture and looked at the three brothers and sisters diligently.
"Strange?" Qin Jiu tilted his small face, with a look of doubt, "Didn't the second uncle's money be given to the second prince?"
"That's for the Qin family!" Su's patience and Qin Jiu reasoned, "Your second uncle will support the second prince because of the Qin family's future, and you will be prosperous. Sister Jiu, your eyes must be long-term."
Qin Jiao: "..."
Qin Jiu was rather speechless, and reminded: "Second aunt, have you forgotten that our cousin is the sixth prince?"
Su Shi really forgot for a while. She really felt that Qin Zhun invested in the second prince for the good of the loyal and righteous mansion.
Her face froze for a moment, and she bit her scalp and said: "Sister Ji, the prince of this dynasty always chooses talents and virtues..." What she thought was that the sixth prince was too young and the emperor's dragon body was not good... Why can't the room figure out!
"Second aunt, are you saying that the six princes have no virtue and no talent?" Qin Jiu interrupted the Su Clan.
Su's: "!"
How dare she respond.
Qin Zeyu watched the play silently, and gave the second aunt a tear of sympathy: What on earth gave the second aunt the confidence to fool his sister? Is his sister so easy to be fooled? Didn’t you see your second uncle being slaughtered by his sister?
Besides, how could the money he put into her pocket for his sister, who is such a money fan, let her take it out again! Never possible! !
Anyway, there is no place for him to speak, Qin Zeyu drank the sherbet in silence. He will go to class later, and he needs to eat something to refresh himself.
Qin Jiao smiled and said again: "I will go to the palace tomorrow and tell my aunt to go."
"..." The Su family was so angry that they stopped tears, and felt that Qin Jiao was a broom star. When she was born, the whole family was exiled; before she came back, the Qin family was all well, everything was fine. Shun, there was almost a second prince and concubine, but now? Nothing, even Qin Zhun was in prison!
Su Clan clenched his fists tightly, pinched his nails into the tender palms, his face gradually turned gloomy, as if a storm was brewing.
Since they don't eat soft ones, they will come hard.
Su's family slowly looked around the three siblings, and slowly asked: "Ning brother, Jiu sister, Yu brother, that is your uncle, do you want to die?"
Without waiting for Qin Zening's trio to speak, the Su clan stood up abruptly, and said forcefully: "Then we will call in the patriarch and the elders, and everyone will go to the clan ancestral hall and say, how unkind it is. People who are unfilial can even watch their uncles who are in jail with cold eyes. Our Qin family dare not keep such people."
The threat is eloquent, meaning that if they don't agree to help, they will leave the clan.
Excluding the clan! Qin Zening was never a person who was afraid of things. He hated others threatening him most. He sneered and said, "If the second aunt wants to go, just go!" He wouldn't stop her.
Qin Zening was already planning to send someone off, but felt that his sleeves were tight. Qin Jiu quietly pulled Qin Zening's sleeves and winked at him.
"Second aunt, what did the second uncle commit?" Qin Jiao asked when he looked at the Su clan.
Su's heart was relieved, thinking that Qin Jiu was confessing, and as expected, Qin would rather be raised by their Lord Hou, if he stood by and watched, it would be unkind and unfilial. Qin Zening has only just made some progress in his official career. If he is scolded by someone pointing at his spine, or even removed from his clan, then he will never have any hope in his official career.
Qin Zening dare to be angry, do Qin Jiu and Qin Zeyu dare to take Qin Zening's future? ! Qin Jiu is about to get married. If he is abolished, how can he gain a foothold in her husband's house!
Su's eyes lit up a bit, and he casually said, "It's not a big deal, just fill in the silver."
"Sister Jiu, didn't your second uncle give you some property deeds? When I sell these properties, it will be more or less seven or eighty-eight. If you lend me another hundred thousand two weeks, it should be almost the same." Su said in a few words.
Qin Zening looked colder. Their second aunt is really thick-skinned, and she has her nose on her face. According to her statement, people who don't know may think that their second uncle generously "sent" them some deeds!
"Oh!" Qin Zhuo made a surprised expression, and said worriedly, "The second uncle's crime is so serious, it takes hundreds of thousands of taels to clear it, it can't be said to be robbing the family."
"If these hundreds of thousands of liang are really used to unclog, I'm afraid the defendant will pay bribes."
"Big brother, bribery, that is also sentenced to exile, right?"
Although Qin Zening is not familiar with Daqi Law, he also cooperated with her sister in a meaningful way and said: "According to Daqi Law, the crime of bribery is convicted depending on the amount, and more than 12,000 will be sentenced to 3,000 li exile.
Qin Zeyu nodded to the side and remembered this article silently.
Qin Jiu said to Qin Zening solemnly: "Big Brother, I have thought about it carefully. Compared to exile, it is better to be expelled from the clan to avoid being implicated."
Qin Zeyu nodded like smashing garlic, feeling that his sister was too reasonable.
Su's noodles were as black as the bottom of a pot, and his teeth clenched.
Qin Jiao also deliberately angered her and asked with a smile: "Second aunt, don't you think?"
Qin Zening has always stood by his sister's side unconditionally, staring at the Su clan, and said calmly: "We have separated. The Zhongyi Hou Mansion is the Zhongyi Hou Mansion, and the Qin Mansion is the Qin Mansion."
How can someone borrow money from someone else's house and still be so confident.
"You...you!"
Su's face became darker, and blue veins in her neck appeared occasionally, and she was so angry that she wanted to walk away, but she didn't dare.
She really left, and Qin Zhun was afraid that she was going to be convicted and couldn't let go.
Su Clan suppressed the anger in his heart, and moved out of Mrs. Qin to suppress Qin Jiao and the others, "Are you three to bear your grandmother's life on the street?" They ignore Qin Zhun, they should always take care of Mrs. Qin!
Qin Zhuo smiled slightly, with a bright smile, and calmly said: "Second aunt, don't worry, grandmother is our real grandmother. If the second aunt and second uncle can't support it, then it is the same for the three of us to support it."
This Qin Jiu! Su Clan stared at Qin Jiao fiercely, wishing to tear her up. The long room is the girl who is so bad that she pushes her two brothers against Er Fang!
Qin Jiao suggested: "Why don't I accompany my second aunt to the Hou Mansion and take my grandmother..."
"No need!" Su clan interrupted Qin Jiao angrily.
How can there be a son, but let the old lady live with her grandson!
If she really asked Qin Jiu to pick up Mrs. Qin, then the people in the capital would have to poke the backbone of their second room. It is impossible to say that others would think that she was in an accident because of Qin Zhun and drive her mother-in-law away!
Su Clan couldn't stay any longer. She knew that she didn't want to get money from Qin Jiao. She flung her sleeves away, and the hatred in her heart was about to flow out.
These three brothers and sisters are white-eyed wolves. They are so ruthless and unrighteous when they are raised in the Hou Mansion, and they don't read any blood relationship.
The worst is this Qin Jiu, who not only defrauded Erfang's silver with excuses, but now he is still dead.
Su Shi walked towards Yimen in a windy manner.
Qin Jiu didn't have to recruit people in the past, and Qin Zening personally saw off the guests, and kept sending people to Yimen.
The horse-drawn carriage and the servants of the Hou Mansion were waiting there, and Su's holding the hand of the maid, almost couldn't wait to get into the carriage.
"Second aunt, after you go back, don't walk around again. It's best to stay in the house." Qin Zening suddenly persuaded him, "What the second uncle did not do will not fall on him. ."
After all, they are a family. Qin Zhun treated him well when his family was exiled in Minzhou. At that time, there were many children and life was hard. The good things in the family were given to these children.
Thinking of this, Qin Zening specifically raised the Su clan to tell her not to unblock her, so as not to be self-defeating.
The Su clan in the carriage looked at Qin Zening from the window, his face looked ugly again, his chest was violently undulating, and he said coldly and anger: "Brother Ning, your second uncle raised you up. You don't help. If you want to talk coldly, don’t you see your second uncle, okay?!"
Su clan stared at Qin Zening hostilely, put down the curtains of the carriage heavily, and said, "Go!"
As soon as the coachman flicked his whip, the carriage drove out of the corner door.
Qin Zening shrugged, Su Clan couldn't listen to it, so he couldn't control it.
Qin Zening returned to the main hall again. When he reached under the eaves, he saw Qin Zeyu greeted him and asked curiously: "Brother, do you know what the second uncle did?"
Although Qin Zening didn't leave the house for the past two days, he still knew a little bit when Pei Qi and the others came to tell him these things.
Qin Zening said: "Chang Yingku's account was short of a large sum of silver. The emperor ordered Dali Temple to investigate the matter. Not only the second uncle, but half of the officials from Taipu Temple entered."
"Brother, is this serious?" Qin Zeyu poured tea and water to his brother, looking complicated.
In less than a year, Qin Zeyu has grown up a lot, and he also knows that his second uncle and aunt are not as good to him as he used to think, but it does not mean he expects them to be bad.
Qin Zening picked up the blue and white porcelain tea cup and said lightly: "If the second uncle and the second aunt are willing to listen to me, at this time, don't mess around, the second uncle is at best dismissal."
After a pause, Qin Zening added: "The emperor is the most soft-hearted." In other words, nostalgic.
But if Qin Zhun or Su Clan did something stupid and angered the emperor, it would be hard to say.
"The emperor's uncle has a very good temper and is soft-hearted." Qin Jiao nodded with approval.
Otherwise, Qin Zhun jumped up and down there to seek the merits of the dragon, gave the second prince money, and sent off the concubine, the emperor looked at it, but endured it. The emperor had a generous temperament and had given Qin Zhun time and time again, but it was hard to say whether Qin Zhun would appreciate it.
Qin Zening said, "Next, it's up to the second uncle himself."
Qin Zening did not speak any more, drinking tea in silence.
Qin Zeyu murmured softly: "The gambler will never stop betting to bankrupt his family."
Qin Zening seemed to have something on his mind and didn't pay attention, but Qin Sui, who was sitting next to Qin Zeyu, heard it, and gave him a different look.
Hey, my own bear kid is really grown up!
Qin Jiao had the same idea, and Qin Zhun was the kind of person who could not give up without giving up.
