Chapter 85:

Gu Jing was silent and picked up a new tea cup, Qin Xin trembled slightly in fright, and did not dare to move.
After taking a sip of the hot tea, Gu Jing put down the tea cup and said, "Bring me the mother and son!"
"Yes, Your Highness." A little servant hurriedly took the order and hurried out of the house.
People hurried out and came back again. The little maid’s face became a little stiff, and he replied: "Your Majesty, the mother and son refuse to come in with the slave." There are too many people onlookers outside, and the little maid does not dare to force Zhang. Mother and son can only return empty-handed.
As this sentence fell, the temperature in the room dropped suddenly, as if it had entered a cold autumn from early summer.
Qin Xin: "..."
Gu Jing's face darkened by three points again. He originally wanted to say that this was the trouble Qin Xin caused by herself and let her solve it by herself. However, when the words came to his lips, he hesitated again.
Now everyone in the capital knows that he is holding Qin Xin in his palm, and it hurts his life. If he lets Qin Xin go out alone, what would others think? !
Gu Jinghuo stood up, dusted his robes casually, and said coldly, "I'll go out and have a look. You'll also come together."
The "you" in his mouth obviously refers to Qin Xin.
Qin Xin didn't dare to say no to Gu Jing, and hurriedly followed, following every step, like the shadow of Gu Jing.
Before they reached the gate, they could already hear the sharp scream of a woman coming from outside the gate: "I have a job offer!"
"This is the state law, even the second prince can't someone else's daughter-in-law!"
When Qin Xin followed Gu Jing to the courtyard behind the gate, what he saw was Zhang Kuang waving the letter of appointment.
Zhang also saw Gu Jing and Qin Xin. Gu Jing, who was dressed in apricot yellow prince robe, was handsome and tall, with an extravagant temperament like walking in a leisurely courtyard.
Zhang didn't dare to pay more attention to Gu Jing, his eyes immediately fell on Qin Xin behind him, his eyes lit up.
This girl is not only pretty, but also five points similar to Zhao Aman's eyebrows and eyes, especially the shape of the eyes and mouth, but Zhao Aman is a bit fatter than her, the facial features appear a little more rounded, and this girl is good at her skin because of her respect. It is whiter and more delicate, and the makeup on the face is very delicate, and the clothes and jewelry on her body are not ordinary, even the wife of their county grandfather is not as good as her.
No wonder the letter said that Li Erya is now rich and rich!
Zhang's memory of Li Erya has been blurred, but now when he sees Qin Xin, he is convinced.
Sure enough, I made a mistake just now. This is Li Erya, Li Erya in the appointment letter, her daughter-in-law, this time, I must have found the wrong person.
With joy on Zhang's face, he walked a few steps towards Qin Xin excitedly, yelling: "Daughter-in-law! Weiniang finally found you!"
Xu Jinpeng's parrot also yelled, "Daughter-in-law! Daughter-in-law!!"
Qin Xin: "!"
Qin Xin's face turned black.
She didn't dare to look at Gu Jing's face at all, and stared coldly at the vulgar Zhang family, and asked: "Bold and spoiled, you dare to go to the Prince's Mansion to make trouble, what is your intention!"
"This is the Prince's Mansion, there is no one you are looking for!"
Qin Xin repeatedly emphasized that the Prince's Mansion wanted to tell Zhang that this was not the Qin Mansion, and that she should go to Qin Mansion to find Qin Jiu.
However, in Zhang's ears, I only felt that Qin Xin deliberately used the prince to suppress himself, which was frightening himself!
That's right, Li Erya now has a high branch like the prince, how could he still admit this marriage! However, she wanted to drive away herself in such a few words, and she looked down upon herself too much.
"Daughter-in-law, you are obviously the daughter-in-law I gave Jinpeng to us." Zhang cried and said, "Even if you turn into ashes, I know you."
The people around her were also in an uproar, and they all confirmed it. That's right, the second prince's concubine is the Qin girl who made a marriage with the fool!
No matter what, Zhang said, "Daughter-in-law, I see, it was the second prince who robbed the female as a concubine, right?"
"Daughter-in-law, I know your temperament. You have a pure temperament. You must not be the one who waits for profit and forgets righteousness. If you have any difficulties, please tell Weiniang, and Weiniang is the master of you."
Zhang's mouthful and a daughter-in-law, shouting sincerely, his heart is fiery.
The letter they received told them that Li Erya was adopted by the Hou Mansion and had a good relationship in the capital, but they did not expect it to be such a great relationship.
No wonder, Zhao Aman's couple would rather kill than escape from marriage!
Hey, the two of them really can't think about it, why bother to the point of murder!
As the saying goes, people climb to higher places and water flows to lower places.
Erya has such a good blessing, it is fate, it is a blessing from the cultivation of the previous life, and their Xu family is not unreasonable. As long as they talk to themselves and give enough benefits, their own family is not a must. of. Taking the Xu family's status in Jiangyu County, and spending more money, you can always find another suitable girl for Jinpeng as a wife.
Thinking about it, Zhang did not dare to show weakness at all on his face, for fear that Qin Xin would not admit it, and when he sat on the ground, he cried and screamed and splashed: "Langlang the universe, the second prince seizes", is there justice in this world? Two words!"
Following Zhang's reprimand, Gu Jing's expression became more and more ugly, and he ordered the guards: "Come on, fight out."
When Gu Jing left the palace to open the mansion, the emperor did not provide him with a guard. The guards used by the Prince's Mansion are now bought by strong men who serve as guards.
The guards immediately took their orders, and forcefully forced them towards Zhang's, their faces were cold.
Zhang was worried, but on the surface it looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water. He screamed as he sat on the ground: "It's killing people, they're going to kill people!"
"Everyone has seen it, these princes and nobles are bullying us flat-headed people like this!"
"Jin Peng, it's useless to be a mother, even your wife can't keep it."
Zhang's howling louder and louder, all the people onlookers watched it with gusto, thinking that this play was too good to watch, and it was even more exciting than those performed by the operas in the opera garden.
Several men in the crowd looked up and down Qin Xin with brilliant eyes. From her beautiful face and slender jade neck all the way down, she lingered on her slightly protruding breast and slender waist. Think of all kinds of fragrant rumors about the second prince and that concubine.
A pudgy man sighed enviously: "The second prince's concubine is truly stunning in the world. She is still young now, and she will definitely be more charming in a few years. It's no wonder there can be one woman and two families."
"That is!" the other man echoed, "you don't want to think about it. There are countless female readers of the dignified son. What kind of beauty has never been seen before. He can look at his eyes and put it in his heart. That is amazing. beautiful woman!"
The more the men talked, the more lively, Qin Zeyu mingled in the crowd behind him, watching this scene silently, his pupils dark and dark.
Had it not been for her sister's quick response, she would have fallen into this dilemma now.
Whether he ordered the mother and son to be beaten away or got them into the mansion to discuss, it will attract all kinds of speculations from passers-by. The world loves to talk, and the three become tigers. Once the rumors spread, they will only become worse. The more outrageous.
It is always the woman who suffers!
The fool Xu Jinpeng was anxious when he heard that his wife was gone, and shouted: "Daughter-in-law, I want a daughter-in-law!" He rushed towards Qin Xin excitedly, trying to pull her sleeve, "Daughter-in-law, come home with me!"
Qin Xin has lived in the Hou Mansion since his rebirth. He has never encountered such a scene in his life. His complexion changed, Hua Rong screamed in shock, and took a few steps back.
Gu Jing quickly grabbed Qin Xin's slender shoulders and said softly, "Don't be afraid."
Qin Xin's body trembled slightly, pitiful.
Lest the idiot collided with the second prince, the guards couldn't care about Zhang for the time being, and quickly stopped Xu Jinpeng. Two of them grabbed Xu Jinpeng's arms one by one, preventing him from going forward.
The head guard said coldly: "This is the Prince's Mansion, but it's not a place where you and others can make trouble! You don't leave, don't blame us for being impolite."
Zhang saw that his son was restrained and became anxious. He jumped up from the ground and waved the letter of appointment, "Who is making trouble! I want to get back to my daughter-in-law!"
"I have a letter of appointment as proof."
"I don't care if my daughter-in-law breaks down. Anyway, as a countryman, it is not easy to save some money for a daughter-in-law, as long as the second prince returns the person to us."
Gu Jing's eyes were as gloomy as a bottomless pool, and he felt ashamed of his face, but now so many people are watching, he can only suppress his anger.
"Xin'er, it's okay." He put his arms around Qin Xin softly and comforted.
Qin Xin felt a pain in his shoulder, and he became more afraid, his face pale and weak.
Qin Xin held on and denied Zhang's face: "The person on the offer is not me!"
"Not you?" Zhang laughed mockingly, and reported Qin Xin's birth date again, "Li Erya, Xin Chou, Jiawu, Gengchen, Ji Mao."
Qin Xin: "!!!"
Others don't know who this horoscope belongs to, but Qin Xin knows it himself, and his pupils shrink slightly.
She and Qin Jiu are only two months apart. When they were young, they were raised as twins in the Li family. They each had their own household registrations. Later, she was taken away by the Zhongyihou’s residence, but she didn’t expect her parents to give her household registration. Used by Qin Jiu!
Of course Qin Xin couldn't recognize it, and said bitingly: "This is not my horoscope!"
"You don't want to get a job offer and just rely on me."
Qin Xin's jaw rose higher and higher, and said to herself, yes, no one can prove that this character belongs to her.
"Chief Guard Li, this is the Prince's Mansion. It is so noisy and decent! Quickly kill both of them." Qin Xin pointed at Zhang's mother and son in a condescending posture, and ordered to the Chief Guard.
She was ashamed, annoyed, and hated in her heart. She only felt that the onlookers around her were pointing at her, making her wish to dig a hole in. Now she just wants to get rid of the Xu family mother and son quickly, and then make long-term discussions.
The guards directly dragged Xu Jinpeng in one direction of the street. While struggling, Xu Jinpeng called his mother loudly. Zhang worried about his son and hurriedly chased the guards, shouting: "Kill! Let go of my son, hurry up. Let go of my son!"
Amid the clamor, a group of government officials ran over here, and it was the government officials from Jingzhao Mansion who came here.
The team leader and yamen hurriedly came to salute Gu Jing, and the team leader said: "His Royal Highness, someone just went to Jingzhao Mansion to report to an officer and said that there was a disturbance here, so Master Hu ordered the younger ones to come and have a look."
As soon as Zhang saw the government officer, as if he had seen a savior, he shouted to the team leader: "Master Qingtian, we are not making trouble. We are the daughter-in-law of my son."
"The emperor has committed the same crime as the common people, so why don't you confess right now, can the prince rob the people's daughter?"
The heads of the team are one big and two big, this matter involves the second prince, they don't want to make the matter big, but this rough country woman is reluctant to live and die.
The government officials were not idle either, shouting and starting to drive away the people who watched the excitement. At this moment, a 37-year-old man in brocade was suddenly squeezed out of the crowd. As he ran, he shouted: " Let let, let trouble!" An anxious look.
"My child, it turns out you came here with Jinpeng." Master Xu rushed to the side of Zhang's, and the couple exchanged glances calmly.
The Zhang clan just had a black face, so Master Xu made a white face and deliberately scolded Zhang clan: "This is a private matter. You make everyone know what to do? Isn't it embarrassing enough?!"
Master Xu arched his hands at the head of the team again, and said politely: "This team leader, Menggui's surname Xu, this is Jiani and Dogzi, hey, I am really embarrassed to have disturbed you and the other poor masters." He covered it with a sleeve and stuffed money for the team leader, "There is something big that can't be said, why bother you. I think there must be some'misunderstanding' in this, so just make it clear."
On the surface, what he said was to the team leader, but in fact, he was told to Gu Jing.
Gu Jing moved her eyebrows intentionally, and heard Master Xu's extra-lingual voice.
To put it bluntly, the Xu family is just asking for a point.
Gu Jing also didn't want to go to the government. At that time, whether it was reasonable or unreasonable, he would be the one who was ashamed. If it was passed to the father's ears, he would be even more dissatisfied with him. It is better to spend money to eliminate the disaster and settle the matter. Up.
Gu Jing said indifferently: "Xu has some'misunderstanding'."
Master Xu and Zhang's words were relieved.
Sure enough, how could a nobleman like the second prince want to poke his housework into the court to let others see a joke.
The team leader was also eager to do this. To him, it didn't matter what was in it. It didn't matter whether Qin Xin had a marriage contract with this fool. It was a good thing that things didn't make a big deal.
Seeing that all the people around who watched the excitement were almost scattered, the team leader planned to greet the subordinates to leave. At this moment, a middle-sized government officer ran over panting, shouting: " Supervisor, supervisor!"
Yacha quickly ran to the head of the team and said a few words to him.
The head of the team's face changed, and the expression looking at Qin Xin became extremely subtle. He first ordered the Ya Chai: "Bring the family surnamed Xu back to Jingzhao Mansion."
"..."
"..."
Both Mr. Xu and Mrs. Zhang were dumbfounded, and suddenly turned their faces when they didn't understand why the team leader.
The team leader said in embarrassment to Gu Jing: "His Royal Highness, I am afraid that the Qin family in your house will go to Jingzhao Mansion with the children. Master Hu said that there is a case that requires the Qin family to go to court."
Qin Xin was shocked and ashamed. What was shocked was that the team leader suddenly offered to take her to Jingzhao Mansion. What was ashamed was that she was only a concubine now, and even a team leader dared to call her Qin.
Gu Jing's expression also changed slightly. Naturally, he couldn't let Qin Xin be taken away by the team leader. He tightened Qin Xin's shoulders and said, "I will go with her." He looked affectionate. .
The Zhang clan who reacted unconvincedly yelled: "Why should we take us to Jingzhao Mansion? We didn't break the law!"
"Let us go!"
No matter how the Zhang clan clamored, their family of three could not resist the government officials in Jingzhao Mansion, and they were taken back to Jingzhao Mansion.
In contrast, Qin Xin's treatment was much better than that of Xu's family. She arrived in the carriage of the Second Prince's Mansion. Along the way, she and Gu Jing were relatively speechless.
Qin Xin's heart was filled with a sense of uneasiness. With the silence on the road, that feeling became stronger and stronger, as if she was running in the dark mountain forest, and there was an unknown beast chasing her behind. of. She seemed to hear the roar of the beast.
She came to the court of Jingzhao Mansion uneasy.
In the court, there was a solemn and majestic group.
Jing Zhaoyin sat on the high hall, on both sides were ya chai holding wind and fire sticks, and on the ground below was kneeling a familiar man with heavy shackles on his hands and feet.
Qin Xin immediately recognized the man, her biological father Li Jinzhu.
What is going on here? !
Qin Xin subconsciously wanted to call him Dad, but he held back.
"Big..." Li Jinzhu, who was anxious, saw Qin Xin coming, and shouted as if grabbing a driftwood.
Qin Xin winked at him, he closed his mouth again, and the word "Ya" did not exit.
The three of Xu's family are civilians, and they all knelt on the ground. The fool Xu Jinpeng didn't know where this was, and asked stupidly: "Father, mother, when shall we bring our wife home?"
Master Xu was so worried that he could not wait to sew his son's mouth together, and scolded, "Shut up."
"Master Hou, please here."
Outside the court, another unfamiliar male voice heard. Qin Xin looked back and saw that Qin Zhun had also been announced by the government official.
At this time, many people had surrounded Jingzhao's mansion. When they saw Jingzhaoyin opened the hall, they all rushed to watch the excitement. After a while, they blocked the gate and made it difficult to move.
It was the Yacha coldly scolding that the people retreated to both sides and made way for Qin Zhun.
Qin Zhun's face is not so good. He has never been to court in the past thirty years. This year is simply unlucky. In just a few months, it is the second time he has been in court in Beijing Zhaofu.
Qin Zhun endured the unhappiness in his heart and bowed to Gu Jing first. Then, Qin Xin blessed Qin Zhun again, shouting "Father".
Jing Zhaoyin didn't dare to put any official authority in front of the second prince. After a courtesy, he said politely: "This official received a case of one woman and two Xus today, so he waited for all the people involved. Announced."
He first looked at Master Xu and asked, "Xu Dayong, did Ling Lang book a kiss with the girl from the Li family?"
Master Xu is a flat-headed citizen. When he went to court, he was trembling with panic a long time ago. He nodded honestly: "Yes, sir, I... Caomin still has appointment letters and Geng posts as evidence."
Master Xu glared at Zhang, and urged: "Don't hurry up and get out the appointment letter and Geng post."
To Zhang, this letter of appointment and Geng Tie are like the key to their Xu family's wealth and honor. She has always kept it next to her body and dare not let others handle it. But at this moment, she can only take the letter of appointment and Geng Tie distressedly. Came out and presented it to the team leader.
Jing Zhaoyin shifted his gaze to the left and asked Li Jinzhu again with a respectful expression: "Li Jinzhu, have you promised your only daughter to the Xu family?"
Li Jinzhu trembled and replied: "My lord, yes."
Jing Zhaoyin then ordered his master to take out a household register and asked Li Jinzhu to confirm: "The name and birth date on this household register are for you?"
Li Jinzhu nodded: "Yes, my lord."
Watching this scene, Qin Xin's heart sank little by little, feeling like he was soaked in a cold swamp. She wanted to speak, but she couldn't make a sound.
Jing Zhaoyin personally checked the name and birth date on the household registration, Geng post and appointment letter, and confirmed that it was the same person.
Master Xu was afraid that his family would be blackmailed by the government, and said anxiously: "My lord, the grassroots are good people. At the beginning, they were married to the Li family according to the rules, and there was a grassroots home..." He wanted to say that there was a matchmaker. But it suddenly occurred to me that the matchmaker was dead, so I changed my words, "My hometown relatives and friends are my proof."
Zhang nodded frequently aside. The couple closed their mouths quickly after being berated by the ya chap.
Jing Zhaoyin asked Li Jinzhu again: "Is this Li Erya written in the household register, Geng post and appointment letter your only daughter?"
Li Jinzhu: "Yes, my lord."
Except for "yes", he couldn't say any other answers.
Jing Zhaoyin continued to ask: "Li Jinzhu, who is your only daughter Li Erya?"
"..." Li Jinzhu shrank his neck and turned his head to look at Qin Xin subconsciously.
Qin Xin's face turned white again, as white as a wall.
Qin Zhun was already in a cold sweat behind his back, and hurriedly wanted to make peace with him, "Master Hu..."
"Snapped!"
Jing Zhaoyin struck the gavel heavily and interrupted Qin Zhun: "Above the court, no noise!"
This Li Jinzhu was sent to Jingzhao Mansion by the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses. Li Jinzhu committed the crime of homicide and escape. According to the law, he should be sent back to Jiangyu County for trial. As a result, Pei Qi stopped him and told him not to be so busy to send him away. The words sounded meaningful.
Jing Zhaoyin wanted to ask more questions, but Pei Qi kept silent and only gave him a household registration from Jiangyu County.
It didn’t take long for someone to report that someone was making trouble in the Second Prince’s Mansion. They kept saying that the second prince had robbed the daughter of the people, Qin Xin, one daughter and two Xu Yunyun. The father-in-law came and passed the emperor's verbal message...
This case must be tried today before he can explain to the emperor.
Jing Zhaoyin didn't even look at Qin Zhun, and asked Li Jinzhu: "Li Jinzhu, who is your only daughter, Li Erya? Is it in the hall?"
Li Jinzhu: "..."
Li Jinzhu was flustered and confused, and had no master in his heart.
He and Zhao Aman were fugitives. They were afraid that they would act together. They were too eye-catching and often separated. Today, they were separated and entered Beijing separately. Who would think that he was arrested by officials as soon as he entered the city gate.
Naturally, Li Jinzhu could not recruit his biological daughter, and the marriage was originally set for Erya. If Erya did not escape the marriage, there would be no subsequent series of things!
Li Jinzhu hated the more he thought about it, gritted his teeth and said: "My lord, the little girl is not in court, and the little girl was picked up by the Qin family. It is now the third Qin family..."
"Snapped!"
Jing Zhaoyin slapped the gavel again.
"Li Jinzhu, it seems you won't be able to recruit." Jing Zhaoyin ordered directly, "Come on, fight."
The servants kicked Li Jinzhu rudely, and Li Jinzhu screamed and squatted on the ground. There were two government officials who held the wind fire stick.
Qin Xin almost blurted out his father again.
She also had feelings for Li Jinzhu, her biological father. In her previous life, the four of her family were exiled to Lingnan together, and supported each other before they survived in Lingnan.
Seeing Li Jinzhu about to suffer at this moment, she was anxious and afraid. However, she could not admit that she was Li Erya, and naturally she could not speak for Li Jinzhu.
Both Qin Zhun and Gu Jing knew that Qin Xin was Li Jinzhu's biological daughter. Once Li Jinzhu recognized it, the matter of the second prince's concubine, one daughter, and two Xu would become the laughing stock of everyone in the capital.
Gu Jing said indifferently: "Master Hu, you, as a dignified Jing Zhaoyin, are the parents of the capital. You don't solve the cases of robbery and murder for the common people. What do you do with such trivial things!"
Qin Zhun once again planned to talk to the mud: "Master Hu, dare to ask who is suing a woman and two Xu? Benhou sees that there is some misunderstanding, right?" At the same time, he winked at Master Xu and asked him to deny it quickly. It's not good for anyone when things are going up.
Master Xu and Zhang had been dumbfounded a long time ago. They didn't receive Qin Zhun's eyes at all. They looked at Li Jinzhu who was lying on the ground in a daze, for fear that they would be the next person to hit the board.
"Fight!" Jing Zhaoyin said again.
The yamen no longer hesitated a few words, and the wind fire stick in their hands directly hit Li Jinzhu's buttocks.
"Flap! Pop! Pop!"
The stick went down like rain, one stick after another, and that was a direct blow.
"Oh! Ouch!" Li Jinzhu screamed in a crying cry.
The government officials beat one stick more harder than one stick. After a dozen or so rounds, Li Jinzhu finally couldn't stand it and shouted: "My lord, the grassroots recruit, recruit!"
Li Jinzhu trembled with pain, raised his head to look at Qin Xin, and called out in a dumb voice: "Yes, it's her..."
Qin Xin's body trembled violently.
Gu Jing's face was somber as if stained with ink.
Jing Zhaoyin made a gesture, and the servants stopped the wind fire stick in their hands, and then rudely pulled Li Jinzhu up from the ground, making him kneel.
Li Jinzhu panted feebly and shivered.
Jing Zhaoyin: "Recruit."
Li Jinzhu slowly raised his finger to Qin Xin and said, "She is the daughter of Caomin, Li Erya."
