Vol 4 Chapter 47: Qi Shu Hezhi (one more)

The embezzlement case that had been going on for several days was concluded, and the emperor's heavy handling and deliberation made the ruling and opposition parties and the military officials breathe a sigh of relief. After all, the New Year is almost here, and no one wants to have tens of thousands of people in the capital to be punished, and mournful at this time, so no one will have a bad year.
Therefore, everyone praised the emperor's kindness.
The huge corruption case was closed, and the lifeless atmosphere that had enveloped the capital for several days changed, and it was sunny and sunny.
The Nine Clan of the Pingjun Prince's Mansion and the Nine Clan of the Gongbu Shangshu Mansion took the knife hanging over their heads, weeping for joy, and thanked the emperor.
After the imperial decree was promulgated, Qi Shu came to Rong'an Palace as soon as possible.
On that day, Princess Pingjun killed King Pingjun. He was taken with a psychedelic drug and became unconscious. He didn't even know how he hurt Ye Chang. After the incident, the doctor Meng solved his psychedelic medicine, and he only knew that Ye Chang was injured, but after his parents died, the huge Pingjun Prince's Mansion threw him a mess, and he wished to die. But thinking that Ye Chang couldn't get out of his body that day in order to save him, he troubled Xu Yunchu to save Su Fengnuan, and didn't leave him alone. He gritted his teeth and stood firm, set up a mourning hall, and buried King Pingjun and Princess Pingjun.
The Pingjun Prince’s Mansion was involved in such a big corruption case, and the death of Pingjun and the princess was disgraceful. Therefore, no one came to express condolences, and the funeral of the two was simply handled.
After dealing with the funeral of the two, after he sold all the things that could be sold, he only collected 500,000 taels of silver to return to the household, and the remaining 2.5 million taels, he was already unable to think of a solution. Paid it back. Simply waiting for the emperor to close the case. If the nine clans of the Pingjun Prince's Mansion were punishable, he could only be counted as one of them.
Unexpectedly, today the emperor closed the case, and the imperial edict said that he and He Zhi used precious treasures, and the Nine Clan of the Pingjun Prince's Mansion was acquitted. He naturally knew that he had nothing precious treasures to the household department. So, I came to see Ye Chang immediately.
The steward took Qi Shu to the main courtyard.
Ye Chang, Su Fengnuan and Ye Xi were sitting in the painting hall chatting.
After Qi Shumai stepped into the threshold, he saw Su Fengnuan sitting on the low couch, embroidering the wedding gown with the bright red wedding gown. The splendid and satin made her look charming and radiant. He froze for a moment, then turned his head, and saw Ye Chang and Ye Xi sitting opposite each other drinking tea.
He looked at Ye Chang and Ye Xi, arched his hands, "Brother Ye Chang, Brother Ye Xi." After the words fell, he arched his hands at Su Fengnuan again, "Miss Su."
Ye Chang pointed to the chair beside him, and said casually, "Sit down."
Qi Shu sat down.
Su Fengnuan looked at Qi Shu. The Pingjun Prince's Mansion suffered this catastrophe. He was almost so thin that he was utterly depressed from the inside out. She couldn't help but sigh. The three people, Chen Qi, Shen Qi, and Qi Shu, had been in good relationship with Ye Chang since childhood, but unfortunately they were all involved because of their family. Now that the statement is far in the west, Shen Qi is dead and Qi Shu is in the capital. Although the emperor has a kind heart and avoided the death penalty of the nine families of Pingjun Prince’s Mansion, he deprived him of the title of Pingjun Prince’s Mansion. If Qi Shu wants to stand out, he can only rely on himself in the future. .
Ye Chang poured a cup of tea for Qi Shu, and said to him, "The case of corruption in the Ministry of Households has been closed. Do you have any plans next?"
Qi Shu shook his head, "I don't know what I have to plan." When he finished speaking, he said, "Thank you, Pingjun Prince's Nine Clan can keep it, I know it must be because you helped me."
Ye Chang said, "We are brothers, so we don’t need to say anything that is kind. I investigated the case of the Ministry of Household’s corruption and found King Pingjun. In order to rectify the Ministry of Households and clear the bureau, there was no way to get him out. The emperor was not cruel. People, he can’t do things about the Jiu Clan. Your father and Gongbu Shangshu have been framed by others for many years, before they have arrived in this field. Even if it is not in the face of your brothers, it is also in the Jiu Clan. For the sake of how many people are innocent, I naturally want to deal with them so as not to let more people suffer."
Qi Shu nodded, sincerely, "If I didn't have you, I really wouldn't want to live."
Ye Chang stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement, and said to him, "Your mother is so tough and can't face your father's outside rooms and all the children. She killed your father and committed suicide again. Otherwise, for the next half of your life, you will be bitter and uneasy. Your father is still guilty. As for you, the corruption case has been closed. Today is today, so let’s expose it. There is no slash in the world."
Qi Shu said weakly, "It's easy to say that, but how do you deal with the people in my house, the outside rooms and children of my father?"
Ye Xi took the words from the side, "Kick out of the mansion and just fend for itself."
Qi Shu said, "I can ignore my father's outside rooms, but what about his children? They are my brothers and sisters. I copied their mansion, sold all their things, and returned the household If you drive them out again, how will they survive?"
Ye Xi helped his forehead, "Brother Qi Shu is too kind."
Ye Chang couldn't help but smiled, "It's a good thing for people to have kind thoughts, and kindness can get good results."
Qi Shu said, "Although my mother killed my dad because of them, and lost my parents in one day. But in the final analysis, it was because my father, his preference for female sex, caused this result. They also Innocent. I'm always the eldest brother. Even if they are not likable, they are brothers and sisters younger than me. Although they have no brotherhood, they have the blood and blood. I can't cruelly drive them out and leave them alone. In such a cold winter, when they are outside, they may freeze to death on the streets."
Ye Xi shrugged, "In that case, you can only support them."
Qi Shu bit his lip, "If you let me raise them, as my drag, I will be very unwilling. After all, my mother died because of them."
Ye Xi looked at Qi Shu, speechless.
Ye Chang said, "This is easy to handle."
Qi Shu looked at Ye Chang, "What can you do?"
Ye Chang said to him, "Pingjun Prince's Mansion has been deprived of the title, and your mansion has been reduced to an ordinary mansion, but if it is reduced to an ordinary mansion, at present, the scale is too large to conform to the regulations of ordinary mansion. . If you keep it, you will be impeached by Yushitai sooner or later. In my opinion, you might as well divide it into two. You keep the main house, and the rest is divided among your father’s outer rooms and children. Also. I am worthy of them."
Qi Shu suddenly thought about it.
Ye Chang said again, "Now there is only this mansion left in the Qi mansion. There are no gold and silver things and it is empty. But the mansion is also worth some money. You divide the mansion into two, and after the division, They are two unrelated mansions. They can avoid the rules of the court, and they can be regarded as taking care of them. If they have the ability to survive, they will guard the half of the mansion to live, if they do not have the ability to survive, The mansion can be sold, which is enough to support them for a lifetime."
Qi Shu nodded.
Ye Chang said, "In this way, you can treat them as your elder brother, and they don't have to be a drag on you. You don't have to bother with them, and you don't have to be reconciled because of your mother's death."
Qi Shu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and said, "It's okay, you still have a way. After returning home today, I will do it like this!"
Ye Chang nodded, then said to him, "After the Chinese New Year, Nuan and I plan to leave Beijing and we will pass through the western border. Since you don’t know what your plans are, you might as well follow us out of Beijing. Maybe you go for a walk, Go to the west to see the statement, and you will know what you want to do in the future."
Qi Shu nodded and agreed happily, "Well, I haven't traveled far, no one is controlling me now, I should go out to see and see."
In this way, the two things that bothered Qi Shu were decided. He sat in the Rong'an Palace for a while, and when he returned, his mood was obviously much better.
After Qi Shu left, Ye Xi said to Ye Chang, "You're right, there is good fruit with kindness. Qi Shu has this kind of heart, and it won't be worse in the future."
Ye Chang said bluntly, "I have friendship with him since I was a child, if my conduct is bad, wouldn't I be confused about people?"
Ye Xi rolled his eyes, got up and returned to his courtyard.
After the two of them left, Ye Chang got up and came to Su Fengnuan, stretched out his hand to hug her and said, "It's been embroidering for a long time, don't embroider, you are tired carefully."
Su Fengnuan then put down the needle and thread and said to him, "Now that the ink corruption case has been closed, Qi Shu has made arrangements. He Zhi is still in my house. Should I call him and ask him about his plans? He can't stay there. In Su Mansion. Especially the people from the Killer Gate are also here. He Zhi is a disciple that Feng Meiren secretly accepted. I plan to hand the Killer Gate to him."
Ye Chang said, "Alright, just send Qianhan to call him."
Su Fengnuan nodded and gave an order outside, Qian Han responded and immediately went to Su Mansion.
Su Fengnuan went to Rong'an Palace, and Xiao Han and Xie Xuan also went to Rong'an Palace. Only He Zhi and Loach were left in the Fengnuan Pavilion.
He Zhi lives in Feng Nuan Pavilion without a master, and thinks this is really new. The ordinary boudoir lady can't keep a man in her boudoir, but Su Feng Nuan is not an ordinary boudoir lady, she doesn't care about this. In addition, in his opinion, her Fengnuan Pavilion is just like the inn, and she has not stayed in her boudoir for a few days. Hearing Loach said that if no one takes care of her, her Fengnuan Pavilion can grow weeds as high as the roof.
The Huhu corruption case was simple and light, and no one of the nine clans of the Shangshufu of the Ministry of Industry suffered, and he did not know what he planned to do in the future.
So, when Qianhan came to him, he was doing nothing, and together with the loach, he was cooking the few crabapple trees in the greenhouse built by Su Fengnuan.
