Chapter 87:

After weighing the pros and cons, Qin Zhun finally said vaguely: "Master Hu, Qin Xin is indeed not a girl from the Qin family, but she has a relationship with Jiani, so Jiani recognized her by her name."
Hu Mingke glanced at Li Jinzhu who was kneeling on the ground, and continued to ask Qin Zhun, "Master Hou, now the Li family is telling you to abduct their girl. Does Master Hou recognize it?"
Li Jinzhu wanted to say that he didn't sue, but when Hu Mingke glanced high up on the ground, he trembled, only feeling severe pain in his hips and back. He was afraid of being beaten, and he didn't dare to speak. The official said that what it was.
Qin Zhun said angrily: "Nonsense!"
At this moment, Qin Zhun almost wanted to separate his relationship with Qin Xin, but he was sane, and he just saw how much Gu Jing spoiled Qin Xin. For Qin Xin’s affairs, Gu Jing even did not hesitate to confess with respect to Qin Xin. Xu Dayong dealt with it.
At this point, his family has been tied to Gu Jing, so Qin Xin can only be a girl from the Qin family.
"It's Jiaoji! Jiaoji." Qin Zhun bit and said, "Because Jiani met Qin Xin just as he did, he adopted her from the Li family."
Qin Xin looked at Li Jinzhu not far away imploringly. After today, she has become the laughing stock of Beijing. If she weren't Qin Xin, she wouldn't even count Gu Jing's concubine documents.
Li Jinzhu: "..."
Li Jinzhu was disappointed with this daughter in his heart, but it was his daughter after all. Besides, he couldn't say that it was he who exchanged his daughter with the real Qin family girl.
In the eyes of everyone, Li Jinzhu nodded: "Yes, it was Cao Min and the child's mother who gave their daughter to the Qin family."
Hu Mingke stared at Qin Zhun for an instant, and thought of the emperor's dictum, before he said: "Since the two families believe that adoptiveness is adopted, adoptive rules have to be established."
Qin Xin's pupils shrank slightly, and the cloak draped on him was tightly gathered.
She was originally recorded under the names of Qin Zhun and Su, and outsiders thought that Qin’s blood was flowing in her body. Even though Qin Jiao was talking nonsense in front of the ladies in Shenghua Pavilion last time, she could bite. She didn't admit it, she was still the Qin family girl.
However, after today, everyone will know that she is just the adopted daughter of the Qin family...Her biological father and mother are murderers carrying their lives. Moreover, she had made a kiss with a fool...
Qin Zhun couldn't wait to respond: "Master Hu is right, it is time to establish an adoptive document."
For Qin Zhun, setting up an adoptive document is just a trivial matter. He just wants to finish this matter and leave here quickly.
The master prepared the adopted documents as quickly as possible and handed them to Qin Zhun and Li Jinzhu for signatures and deposits, in triplicate, one of which was kept in Jingzhao Mansion for record.
The matter finally settled, Qin Zhun and Gu Jing breathed a sigh of relief.
Only Qin Xin had a complicated complexion, and his eyes were bright and dark.
She thought that she had turned from a dignified concubine to a humble concubine, and she was already in the dust, but she didn't want her fate to be mocking her, so she slapped her face severely, as if there was one The invisible hand continued to drag her into the depths of the quagmire...
Qin Xin felt cold all over and looked panic.
"Hu Mingke, now I can leave the'person'?" Gu Jing asked the Hu Mingke ahead impatiently.
Hu Mingke arched his hands with a smile: "Your Royal Highness, please."
"Let's go." Gu Jing flicked his sleeves away without reluctance, but Qin Xin couldn't be as utterly as him, couldn't help looking at Li Jinzhu who was kneeling on the ground. The parents are still carrying the life of Lady Hua, next...
Gu Jing squinted at Qin Xin coldly, Qin Xin pressed her lips slightly, still did not dare to say anything, silently bowed her head and followed Gu Jing and left the court of Jingzhao Mansion.
When she walked out of the court, she heard another question from Jing Zhaoyin and Hu Mingke coming from behind: "Li Jinzhu, you murdered and fled, did you recruit or not?!"
Outside the court, the surrounding people were on the third floor and the third floor outside. Some of these people continued to watch Jing Zhaoyin's trial of the murder case with great interest, some were still discussing the case just now, and some faced Gu Jing and Gu Jing and Qin Xin pointed and pointed, until the carriage was far away, did he withdraw his sight.
Qin Xin and Gu Jing left, Qin Zeyu left two more cups of tea and returned to the Qin Mansion.
The first thing after returning to the palace, Qin Zeyu went to see Qin Jiu, and told her sister about what happened outside the second prince’s palace and in the court, including the result of Jing Zhaoyin’s trial: "...Li Jinzhu denied it. It is said that Zhao Aman killed him for the crime of homicide. In the end, Master Hu put him in a large prison pending trial."
Qin Jiu turned over the notebook and drank the sherbet on the side, as if his left ear came in and the right ear came out. Du Ruo made a new sherbet by himself and asked the little maid to fan Qin Jiu.
Qin Zeyu was almost jealous, and his sister was too leisurely, too good at living.
"Sister, you're not worried at all, aren't you afraid?" Qin Zeyu couldn't help asking.
Qin Jiao raised his hand perfunctorily over Xiaofang between the two and touched Qin Zeyu's head, "Is there Ayu."
Qin Zeyu lifted up as if he had been fed a panacea, and felt that his sister was fierce to him, but in fact, his younger brother was also placed high hopes.
Qin Zeyu straightened his back and suddenly felt a sense of mission. Yes, the eldest brother is not here, he is the only male in this house.
Qin Jiao continued to drink her sherbet, his lips curled. This kid is so coaxing, she can coax even golden thighs, and coaxing this kid is simply a catch.
Qin Zeyu patted his chest and said: "Sister, don't worry, there is me. Whoever dares to bully you, I will beat him!"
He swung his fist swearingly, feeling that he had beaten Xu Jinpeng less before, so he should kick more.
Qin Jiu laughed "pouch". The child bear felt that he was being teased. He rolled up his sleeves unconvincedly and said, "Sister, don't underestimate me. I have been learning kung fu with Master Yue for half a year and I am very profitable. I don't believe me. Show you a set of punches!"
Qin Jiu was afraid that he would go to the martial arts field by himself in such a hot day, and quickly said, "Believe and believe." She quickly winked at Du Ruo and gave him a cup of sherbet.
Qin Zeyu took two sips of sherbet and suddenly said, "Sister, I was wrong."
There are some things he doesn't see with his own eyes, and he never knows how stupid he was in the first place.
Last year, when he learned that Qin Xin was not his own sister, he only felt that Qin Xin was pitiful and innocent, that Qin Jiu was an outsider, and he had never thought of Qin Jiu in his own way.
His sister was supposed to be the precious daughter of the Hou Mansion. She should have grown up in the Hou Mansion and should have grown up under the care of her family, rather than in a country where she was abused, abused, or even almost killed. Married to a fool.
He couldn't believe it. If Qin Jiao hadn't escaped, if his sister had really been married to that fool, what would her life be like now?
The Li family stole his sister's ten years of time. Qin Xinqin, chess, calligraphy, and calligraphy are all unconnected, and almost became the prince concubine. All this should have belonged to his sister... Although Qin Zeyu felt that the second prince was not very good at all. Not worthy of his sister.
Fortunately, his elder sister had good luck and met a third brother Gu whose eyes were blurred. Well, he has to treat Gu Sange better in the future. Qin Zeyu said to himself silently.
Qin Jiao looked at Qin Zeyu with a question mark on his face, and after a moment of stunned, he wanted to understand what he was talking about.
She pursed her lips and smiled, touched his head again, ruining his hair to mess.
Qin Zeyu, a bear child, has a good nature, but he was deliberately mistreated since he was a child. After watching her, he will not repeat the same mistakes in the novel.
Qin Zeyu was beaten up by his sister three times in just half a day, and couldn't help but protest: "Sister, I'm thirteen, don't think I'm a kid, please?"
Qin Jiao responded perfunctorily and asked Du Ruo to add sherbet to her and Qin Zeyu.
Qin Zeyu was still saying, "If there is something next time, with me, I will support you and won't let you suffer."
Qin Jiao applauded Qin Zeyu with a smile, "We Ayu has grown up."
Of course she didn't suffer, and it was Qin Xin who suffered.
Qin Zening had asked the Five City Soldiers to stare at the Li family. In April, shortly after the couple of Li Jinzhu and Zhao Aman entered the capital, the people of the Five City Soldiers found out and stared conscientiously for a while. Then, I saw Qin Xin entering the inn to meet the couple.
Pei Qi was also curious, so he followed in. The small inn had thin wall panels and poor sound insulation. The three members of the Li family thought they were secretive, but they didn't know that their conversation made Pei Qi listen to it all.
Pei Qi told Qin Zening the truth. Qin Zening was furious and wanted to arrest the person immediately. However, Qin Jiu felt that the "marriage contract" between the original owner and the Xu family was always a hidden danger. Pull it out...
While drinking the sherbet, Qin Zeyu suddenly said, "Sister, I look at Jing Zhaoyin today, as if I had received the emperor's order in advance."
Qin Jiu smiled and couldn't help but rubbed Qin Zeyu's head again, "Oh, our Ayu is getting smarter and smarter!"
Qin Zeyu: "..."
Should he be happy that his sister praised him, or should he be angry that his sister turned the corner and said that he was stupid before!
Jing Zhaoyin indeed got the emperor's verbal order. After the trial of this case, he went to the palace to return to the emperor.
Hu Mingke didn't know what happened before the second prince's residence, so he only reported the process and results of his trial: "...Zhongyi Hou and Li Jinzhu have agreed to adopt Qin Xin to the Qin family and recognize them as adopted daughters."
The emperor gave Qin Xin to return to his position, but if Qin Zhun didn't understand it, then forget it.
Just now in the court, Hu Mingke watched Qin Zhun guilty of being stupid, and really didn't know what to say.
Outside the window, the shadow of the tree swayed with the wind, casting a mottled light and shadow on the emperor's face.
The emperor slowly turned the jade pull finger on his right thumb, and his eyes became deeper and deeper against the mottled light and shadow.
This was his last chance for Qin Zhun.
He thought of the kindness of Old Hou Ye, and didn't want to shoot Qin Zhun, so he gave him this opportunity.
If Qin Zhun was safer, he would cut off his "in-law relationship" with Gu Jing. He could guarantee that Qin Zhun would be a wealthy idler and spend the rest of his life in peace. Dragon power.
The emperor sighed in a low voice: "Master Lao Hou is such a stunning and brilliant person, and my brother-in-law is like a father and has the world in mind. How can Qin Zhun's eyes be so narrow..."
Hu Mingke lowered his head and didn't reply. He was also moved with emotion: Yes, the dead Old Hou Ye was the Taifu, knowledgeable and wise, so he had just raised such a stupid son.
Zhou Xin followed the emperor's words and said: "The emperor, the Qin family still has a long house and the fifth son of Qin, the old man is not a successor."
The emperor smiled happily, and he couldn't help but remember that Empress Wei whispered to him last time that Qin Zening was too confused, and Qin Zeyu lacked heart, and he was not as clever and clever as Qin Jiao.
The emperor smiled and Hu Mingke let out a sigh of relief.
He continued to report: "The two families have already signed the adoptive documents, and His Royal Highness the Second Prince took Qin Xin back."
The emperor asked faintly: "What about the Xu family?"
Hu Mingke hurriedly replied, "The three of the Xu family have already left."
The Xu family was not at fault in these two cases, so Hu Mingke decided to let him go.
The emperor nodded, waved his right hand, and dismissed Hu Mingke.
"The minister retires." Hu Mingke made a salute, completely relieved.
Although he offended the second prince today, the emperor was obviously quite satisfied, that was enough. He has been in the position of Jing Zhaoyin for almost three years, and maybe this time he has a chance to rise up.
Hu Mingke suppressed his joyful heart and withdrew from the Imperial Study Room.
As soon as he walked on his front foot, the queen footback came out of the bisha cupboard, her eyebrows stretched, her expression complex, and more relieved.
Queen Wei walked up to the emperor and sat down.
The emperor smiled and said, "Now you can rest assured."
"There is the emperor, what can the concubines worry about?" Empress Wei smiled gently.
She was indeed relieved.
At noon today, after learning that the Xu family had gone to the Qin Mansion to make trouble, Empress Wei hurried to the imperial study room to ask the emperor for help, and wanted the emperor to arrest the people, but was stopped by the emperor instead.
The emperor told her:
"Rong Rong, this is an opportunity, an opportunity to get Xiao Jiu's name right."
"Even though Xiao Jiu has found it back, her experience in the past fourteen years cannot be spoken to others..."
At the moment, Queen Wei immediately understood.
Since Qin Jiu returned to Beijing when she was last year old, in order to avoid her becoming someone else's after-dinner conversation, Queen Wei has deliberately avoided discussing Qin Jiu's past in Jiangyu County.
The problem is that for Qin Jiu, what has happened may be gradually forgotten over time, but what has happened is that it happened and cannot be erased. Jiangyu County is a hidden danger that will erupt at any time.
Just like this time, a Xu family who "booked a kiss" popped up suddenly. Who knows if someone from Jiangyu County will pop up again in the future, saying something that shouldn't be said, which ruined Qin Jiao’s reputation . If you want to avoid future troubles, you must start from the roots.
The emperor took Queen Wei's white bare hands, smiled and patted: "This time we will correct Xiaogui. What will happen to Jiangyu County or the Li family in the future? Li Erya, the daughter of the Li family, is Qin Xin. No one will think of Xiao Jiu anymore. This matter is a hundred."
That's right! Empress Wei thought and nodded slightly, thinking that the emperor had done it very well.
Xiao Jiu's child is too suffering, and it is not easy to maintain this innocent heart after suffering so much.
Queen Wei only hoped that after this experience, the child would be well in the future.
At this time, Zhou Xin came to serve Queen Wei in person. The tea cup was raised at the back of Emperor Wei, but before she reached her lips, she thought of something. With a thought, she blurted out and asked: "The emperor, you didn't know that the Xu family would come to the capital to make trouble?"
"How could it be?" The emperor quickly denied it, his face remained silent, but he said in his heart: Yes, because he knew it, he couldn't tell her.
In fact, it was not too early for the emperor to know. It was Gu Zezhi who specially entrusted the emperor before setting off for Minzhou, and it was also Gu Zezhi who proposed to use this matter to rectify Qin's name. The emperor felt reasonable, and felt that Qin Jiu and Qin Xin should have gone to everyone, so he agreed to let Gu Zezhi leave without worry.
But how could the emperor tell the queen about such things, wouldn't it worry her?
The emperor looked at Empress Wei with gentle eyes, a smile spreading from the corner of his lips, and said in his heart: It is estimated that even Xiao Jiu's girl didn't know that Ze Zhi trusted him, Ze Zhi really loved Xiao Jiu.
I was really right about this marriage!
The emperor felt that he still had the aptitude for the age of the month, and he smiled and coaxed the Queen Wei to say: "Today I just got the gift. Knowing that the Five Cities Soldier Ma Si has taken Li Jinzhu, I feel it is a good time, so I just take advantage of the situation. The Li family and Xu family resolved it together."
When the emperor said so, Empress Wei believed it without any doubt. It should be said that she never thought that the emperor would lie to her.
Empress Wei drank two sips of tea slowly, sorted out the matter in her heart, raised her eyebrows and asked, "The emperor, what about the Xu family, do you really let them go like this?"
Li Jinzhu and Zhao Aman committed homicide, and although one escaped, since they arrived in the capital, they would definitely be able to catch them. Empress Wei put aside for the time being.
In her opinion, the Xu family is not an innocent person. The original appointment can be regarded as they spent money to marry their sons and wives. It is not a sin. But this time, how could they be fooled by others and come to Beijing for harm. Xiao Jiu, obviously unkind.
The emperor drew a knowing smile and said, "It could have made the Xu family a blackmail." It's just that Gu Jing is too stupid. Gu Jing will give whatever the Xu family wants.
When Queen Wei heard this, she felt a little unhappy in her heart, as if she was being fed a gluttonous meal.
The emperor felt that Empress Wei was not very happy, and coaxed her to say: "Rong Rong, I will order the magistrate to check Xu's house."
Like the Xu family, they must have committed things of various sizes in the local area, but sometimes the people don’t sue and the officials don’t.
Empress Wei refreshed, and made a cup of tea for the emperor herself.
The couple said and laughed at Yan Yan, just like the most ordinary couple in the folk, the atmosphere is warm and happy.
Zhou Xin was very good at glances, and quietly exited the Imperial Study Room.
Although the emperor said so, but within half a month, he was notified that the Xu family three were killed by bandits in Jinzhou.
At the beginning of this year, due to the disaster in Huizhou, some refugees went northward to take refuge through Jinju, and Jinzhou sometimes had gangsters. Those gangsters absorbed some of the migrants, and the team grew. Several groups of gangsters now occupy the mountain as king. Formed a large force in the local area.
Because the emperor ordered the Jinzhou prefect to investigate Xu's family, the local government took heart. When something happened to the Xu family, the Jinzhou prefect immediately reported the matter.
It is said that the three members of the Xu family encountered gangsters near Daqingshan in Jinju. Not only were the group robbed of their property, but all of them were killed, leaving no one alive.
On the same day, the emperor ordered to suppress the bandits in the early dynasty, and immediately drew a wave of opposition:
"The emperor, the minister thought it was wrong."
"The banditry in Minzhou has not been settled, the treasury is empty and the finances are overwhelmed."
"Master Li is right. Because of the floods in Huizhou this year, not only did the tax revenue be reduced, but the court also allocated silver for disaster relief..."
The courtiers stood up one by one, with an impassioned expression and a loud voice.
Earlier, when the emperor made an order to pacify Minzhou, he did not inform in advance at the court. Many courtiers actually felt a little bit reluctant. Now that they talk about Minzhou, they actually think that the emperor was too anxious at the beginning. Just a little bit of silver.
Of course, the emperor knew that the treasury had no money. Since the day he was enthroned, Daqi's treasury has not been abundant.
Although the Emperor Xian could not be called a wise martial artist when he was young, he was still conscientious and conscientious, but in his later years, he was faint and extravagant. At that time, the great wars and disasters continued, but the emperor ignored him.
Ten years ago, when the emperor ascended the throne, what was left to him was a devastated Qi.
Over the years, this cavern has always been uneven.
Therefore, when Gu Zezhi proposed to ping Minzhou, the emperor agreed with the state treasury tension.
Once Minzhou is calmed down, in the long run, sea trade can be developed, which can bring a lot of money to the treasury; recently, in recent years, sea bandits on the Minzhou side have robbed a lot of wealth. The imperial court can naturally nationalize these wealth, and use it to fill the caverns of the treasury, alleviating Daqi's urgent need.
Standing in the front of the queue, Cheng En Gong watched this scene calmly, with the corners of his lips curled up, his expression was carefree, as if it had nothing to do with him.
With a faint look, the opposing courtiers became more energetic, and the more they spoke, the more serious:
"The emperor, Daqi and Beiyan were involved in the war with Fang Ping. In the past few years, the Northern Army has suffered numerous casualties, and a hundred waste is waiting to be revived. This time the Chenjun king led his troops to level Minzhou. It's hard to estimate for a while."
"Moving Jinju now is tantamount to tearing down the east wall to make up the west wall..."
Listening to these courtiers' almost alarmist talk, the emperor interrupted the other party with a sneer: "I can kill a gangster by Qilian and perish?"
The emperor looked down at the courtiers from above, taking their different expressions into his eyes.
Naturally, he did not propose to quell Jinju on impulse.
Most of the spring tax in the last season was used to suppress disasters. A part of the money in the national treasury was allocated to Pingmin State. The summer tax has not yet come. It is really difficult for the court. To fight a war, not only soldiers, but at least also There must be food, grass and other things.
The emperor’s eyes were getting deeper and deeper, shining with complicated gloom, and he remembered what Gu Zezhi said before he left: "The emperor, now the treasury is empty and everything is difficult. There are many places to spend money, one hundred thousand urgent At that time, you might as well empty the white wolf..."
The emperor turned the jade finger on his thumb, and then suddenly turned his words: "The words of Aiqing are not unreasonable."
All the officials were shocked, and most people did not expect the emperor to change his mind so easily.
The corners of Cheng En Gong's lips rose higher.
When a minister was about to stand up and praise the emperor wisely and so on, he listened to the emperor sighfully and said again: "I originally wanted the second prince to lead the army... hey."
The smile on Gong En Gong's lips froze instantly, and his pupils shrank slightly.
The emperor seemed to be talking to himself, but the voice was enough for most of the courtiers in the Jinluang Temple to hear, and the atmosphere immediately experienced a subtle change.
Cheng En's public heart surged, this was a great opportunity for the second prince.
He couldn't hold back anymore, he immediately stood out from the queue and said to the emperor right in front of him: "The emperor, the second prince is brave and courageous, and he is like his father. He will definitely live up to the emperor's fate. Chaos."
As soon as this remark came out, the courtiers who had only opposed the suppression of bandits looked at each other, with a look of embarrassment on their faces.
The emperor said lightly: "But the treasury has no money."
Cheng En Gong: "..."
The second prince angered the emperor because of his previous peace talks with Beiyan.
However, since the emperor had the intention to make the second prince complicate Jinzhou's suppression of bandits, it shows that the emperor still valued this son. If the second prince completes the errand of the Jinju pacification, he can not only atone for his merits, but also gain military power, and even win the praise of courtiers and the support of the people.
The corner of the emperor's mouth tickled slightly, and continued: "Let's leave this matter for now."
Cheng Engong soon made a decision in his heart, and said to the emperor righteously: "The emperor, Jinzhou bandits are in trouble, and the people are not living. The suppression of bandits is a major event that benefits the people. As a minister, he should contribute his strength to the community. The ministers are willing to collect this money for the bandits for the Li people." He meant that he didn't want the money from the treasury, and he paid for the bandits out of his own pocket.
