Chapter 97:

Although during this period of time because of Qin Zhun's imprisonment, she and the Su clan were a little unhappy because of their disagreements, but Mrs. Qin Tai did not expect that Su clan would want to poison herself.
Mrs. Qin also inquired that the second son moved Changyingku's silver, at most he was dismissed from office, imprisoned, fined, or even seized, but the crime would not die. As long as the person is alive, the life can always go on.
Just because she didn't agree to let Qin Zening be the second son, and because she had a few quarrels with the Su clan, Su clan actually wanted her to die? !
Mrs. Qin was chilled, and her whole body was chilling.
Qin Jiu gently trimmed the temples for Mrs. Qin, and said, "Grandma, take a good rest, don't think about it, the most important thing is to recover from illness."
Qin Zeyu nodded frequently, "Grandma, why are you sad? It is the poisoner who is wrong, not you."
"..." Mrs. Qin opened her mouth slightly, still unable to let go, she only felt that she was stuck in her heart.
"Grandma, please close your eyes and sleep for a while." Qin Jiao persuaded, "Big brother will be back soon, don't worry about it."
Speaking of the eldest grandson, Mrs. Qin was really well. She closed her eyes. She was too weak. As soon as she relaxed, she fell asleep and her breathing became even.
Mrs. Xu went to see Mrs. Qin's pulse again.
In the room, the drop of needles can be heard, and no one dared to disturb Doctor Xu. The sound of insects in the courtyard seemed to be louder and dull at this moment.
After a short while, they went out of the inner room lightly.
Madam Xu tightened his eyebrows and sighed: "Miss Qin, Madam Madam is old after all, and her current situation is still not very good. We have to see if she can survive tonight... I will open a prescription for her again. ."
Finally, Qin Zeyu, who came out of the inner room, heard it too, his face was not pretty.
Mother Cui and Mother Ning even had tears in their eyes. They are both the wife's dowry maids. They have been with the wife for most of their lives. Watching her experience the pain of bereavement, I thought I could enjoy some children and grandchildren when I was old. I thought that there was still this disaster!
"Doctor Xu, please do your best!" Qin Jiao said solemnly.
Qin Zeyu, who was next to him, hurriedly gave Madam Xu a long thought. The 13-year-old naughty boy had grown a lot in this short period of time.
"The old man should do his best." Doctor Xu quickly said.
In the next hour, Mrs. Qin slept drowsy, and only woke up once when Mother Cui and the others gave her medicine.
Qin Jiu and Qin Zeyu sat in the hall and waited, each had their own concerns, especially Qin Zeyu, who was silent tonight, and poured tea after another.
It wasn't until the night before the third watch that Qin Zening finally came back with a look of displeasure.
"Big brother, how is it?" Qin Jiu asked straightforwardly. From Qin Zening's expression, he could roughly guess that the ending might be somewhat unsatisfactory.
Qin Zeyu hurriedly handed his brother tea. Qin Zening drank half a cup of warm tea in one breath, and then said: "Just now, Mrs. Hu opened the trial overnight, but Mother Zhao took the crime in one bite. If she was bitten to death, she said she was poisoned. Grandmother. Su only said that she didn't know. She said that she made the cakes to please her grandmother."
"Except for the cake residue in the box, there is no other evidence to prove that the Su family did it. Now she and Madam Zhao are detained by Master Hu for retrial."
Qin Zening picked up the tea cup again, and took a few more sips of tea.
Seeing that his brother’s tea cup was empty, Qin Zeyu added tea to him. He heard Qin Zening’s complicated tone and said again: "The Su family went out today, first went to see Qin Xin at the Second Prince’s Mansion, and then went to prison. I have seen my second uncle."
"..." No matter how naive Qin Zeyu was, he understood what the eldest brother said, his hand panicked, the teapot's spout shifted by an inch, and the tea splashed on the table outside the tea cup.
The eldest brother meant that the second aunt would poison his grandmother, mostly because of Qin Xin or Qin Zhun? !
Qin Zeyu straightened the teapot again, his eyes widened in disbelief.
Although he knew that Qin Xin was different from what he once thought, she had her selfish intentions, and he was somewhat disappointed with this second sister, but he did not expect that she would attack his grandmother. Qin Xin was brought up by her grandmother since she was a child, and her grandmother's favorite person is her, even the eldest brother, the eldest grandson, is a bit inferior.
Qin Zeyu only felt cold all over, he knew that his eldest brother would not say so casually, since he had spoken, he was afraid that he was 70% to 80% sure.
Qin Zeyu's eyes flickered, and scenes of past scenes flashed before his eyes, and he couldn't help but wonder if he really knew Qin Xin? ! How could Qin Xin get it right? !
Qin Zeyu's throat was sour and he couldn't say a word, but Qin Jiao didn't make any waves, and asked directly: "Big brother, do you think it will be Qin Xin?"
Qin Zening did not answer. After a pause, he said again: "Don't tell grandma about this in advance..." After that, he looked at Qin Zeyu uneasy, "Especially you, Ayu, take care of you. mouth."
For Mrs. Qin Tai, the poison of this cake is from the Su clan, or from Qin Xin or Qin Zhunqiu Su clan. It is very different. Su clan's daughter-in-law, to put it bluntly, is always a layer apart.
She is still not out of danger and can't stand the stimulus. If you want to say it, you have to wait for the doctor to confirm that her condition is stable.
Qin Zeyu, who seemed to be frozen, almost didn't jump up, and said, "Big Brother, do I even know the importance of this?! ... Third Sister, look at Big Brother!"
Qin Zeyu counted on Qin Jiu to be fair to him. If it wasn't for the inappropriate occasion, Qin Jiu almost didn't laugh, and touched his brother's head perfunctorily, "That is, we, Ayu, of course know the importance..."
Before she finished her voice, she heard the voices of Qin Sheng and Qin Zezhou from outside the house: "Get out of the way! We want to see grandmother!"
"You cheap maids, why stop us from seeing our grandmother!"
Qin Jiao looked up, only to find that Qin Zezhou and Qin Sheng were back again. The brothers and sisters wanted to enter the house, but they were stopped outside the house by Mother Cui with several women.
"Second Lord, Fourth Girl, Madam Tai has fallen asleep." Grandma Cui said patiently, "Please come back."
Qin Sheng refused to leave, and then screamed: "Even if grandma falls asleep, she will always wake up! Can't we go inside and wait?!"
"Yes!" Qin Zezhou nodded straight, "We have something to tell grandma!"
"Say what?" Qin Zening sneered mockingly, "Plead for your mother?"
What else can they say besides this? !
When Qin Zening returned to the mansion, he listened to the guards of the Qin mansion outside the mansion. It was only then that Qin Sheng and Qin Zezhou went to the Su family together, apparently asking the Su family to give them some ideas.
Qin Sheng held his neck high and stared at Qin Zening in the room, "There is something wrong with our mother, but she was confused for a while because of her father, and grandmother has no life concerns anyway,"
Although Qin Zezhou also felt that his mother Su’s actions were not appropriate, he knew that his mother could not be convicted. Once his mother was convicted, if there was a mother, how would he inherit the title of Lord of Loyalty in the future, how to stand in officialdom, how to talk about marriage Marry, he will regret it all his life!
This incident must not be a big trouble. It is just for outsiders to watch the jokes of their loyal mansion. At most, after returning to the house, the mother can kowtow to the grandmother.
Qin Zezhou eagerly said: "Big brother, grandmother is angry, and we also understand. Looking back, no matter how grandmother punishes mother, we will never complain."
"I just ask my grandmother to go to Jingzhao Mansion to ask my mother for help. The people don't tell, the officials don't investigate. I have inquired with the fourth sister. As long as the suffering master is willing to intercede, express understanding, and withdraw the case, the mother can return."
inquire about? This is the idea the Su family gave them! Qin Zening simply laughed angrily.
Without speculation, Qin Zening didn't want to talk to Qin Sheng and Qin Zezhou any more, and ordered: "Take the fourth girl and the second master!"
"Yes, uncle!" Several Ronghetang's wives immediately responded and swarmed towards Qin Zezhou and Qin Sheng.
"presumptuous!"
"let me go!"
No one paid any attention to Qin Zezhou and Qin Sheng, including the guards of the Hou Mansion.
These servants can also understand the situation. Although the families are divided, Master Hou is now in jail. Mrs. Hou is in a lawsuit for murdering Mrs. Tai. With such a big incident, Sanfang is like an invisible person. It can be seen that I don't want to get involved in the battle between Longfang and Erfang. The situation is better than others. At this time, it is obvious that Longfang has the upper hand. Who dares to confront Qin Zening!
Qin Sheng and Qin Zezhou were taken away, and the surroundings became quiet. The night was getting deeper, and the night was as cool as water.
The three brothers and sisters stayed in the main room for a full night. In the middle of the night, Mrs. Qin's condition deteriorated and she vomited more than ever. Fortunately, Dr. Xu was here, and he was applying needles and moxibustion, which stabilized the vomiting. Because the decoction was vomited out by Mrs. Qin, Mother Cui and the others went to boil the medicine again, and then gave Mrs. Qin the medicine. After tossing until the next day, her condition improved.
Mrs. Xu gave Madam Qin's pulse again, and his brows stretched open: "Mrs. Tai's condition has stabilized. Just follow the prescription prescribed by the old man and eat again. The old man will come to see Mrs. Tai again tomorrow."
"Doctor Xu, I'll send it to you." Qin Zening personally sent Doctor Xu out. That night, Doctor Xu hardly closed his eyes, looking exhausted.
At this time, it was the beginning of the year, the sun was rising, and the sky was bright.
First doctor Xu went back to the Taiyuan Hospital. He was planning to take a day off, but he was called by a small waiter who was waiting there. He went to the Imperial Study Room and saw the emperor. He truthfully told what he saw and heard last night. It is.
After he finished speaking, there was silence in the Imperial Study Room.
After a while, the emperor's calm voice came from the front: "Go down."
Mr. Xu retired, and when he reached the curtain, he happened to hear the emperor ask, "Will it be Qin Zhun?"
The emperor’s question was naturally not the doctor Xu. The doctor Xu couldn’t help but glanced at the purple-robed youth by the window. The purple-robed youth was drinking tea elegantly, with his sharp profile face and eyebrows moist, like a breeze and a bright moon. , It makes people feel good at first sight.
Dr. Xu did not stay and immediately quit the Imperial Study Room.
Their imperial physicians contacted not only the palace, but also the noble families such as the noble family members. It can be said that they have seen all shameful private matters, such as killing fathers and killing mothers, abandoning wives and children, brothers and so on. , Only unexpected, there is nothing they can't do, that is, Qin Zhun really kills his mother, that is not unusual.
The doctor Xu left, the emperor got up from behind the imperial case, walked over to Gu Zezhi and sat down.
Zhou Xin personally served a cup of new tea to the emperor, and quickly glanced at the emperor. The emperor's complexion darkened slightly. While turning the jade finger on his thumb, he said to himself: "In order to exonerate himself, he even killed his mother? "
The emperor's eyes became darker again, as dark as ink, thinking of some past events.
Qin Zhun’s eldest brother, Qin Jue, used to be accompanied by the emperor. The two had walked very close since they were young. Before Qin’s exile, they used to race horses, study, and play ball together. friendship.
Qin Zhun was Qin Jue's own younger brother and the son of Old Houye. The emperor really didn't want to think of him too bad as he thought of the old love of his old man.
In the eyes of the emperor, Qin Zhun was just stupid, not vicious.
How could he get to the point of killing his mother? !
Gu Zezhi casually grabbed fish food from the box, his face was calm, and he calmly said, "It may be Qin Xin."
"..." The emperor's eyes flashed, and he looked at Gu Zezhi thoughtfully.
Although Gu Zezhi only said "probably", he was never an aimless person. Since he mentioned Qin Xin, he was afraid that he would be more inclined to Qin Xin in his heart.
Over the past ten years, the Qin family has been rough enough, and for the emperor, he would rather believe that it was Qin Xin.
Gu Zezhi sprinkled the fish food from the window into the pool outside the window, and a tail of golden-red carp in the pool immediately swam over with its tail, causing waves of ripples, disturbing the pool of autumn water.
Gu Zezhi changed his words: "The emperor, this Taipu Temple case must be finalized as soon as possible."
The emperor squinted his eyes when he looked at the carp frantically rushing for food in the pool.
He understood what Gu Zezhi meant. It was only a few days. Not only was there something wrong with the Qin family, there were also many people who were waiting for opportunities, forming parties or provoking affairs in the court, and even more people rushed around, making the court. Everyone is in panic, and everyone is in danger.
The emperor clenched his fist tightly and gave an order: "I have given my word that the three divisions will try the case in three days."
If the three divisions have a trial, then the case must be investigated clearly and clearly before the trial.
The Taipu Temple case was very implicated, and Dali Temple was also frightened by the investigation. In fact, it was somewhat unsure of the scale of action, so it was able to delay, and while investigating, while observing the emperor’s too low, this time, there is this statement. After they confirmed the emperor's attitude, they let go of their hands and feet and accelerated the trial of the case.
The truth is that the punishment is not a literati. Qin Zhun, who was in prison these days, suffered from suffering, but he didn’t suffer from any physical suffering. He just bite to death and refused to admit it. He hoped that Su Clan could raise enough money to redeem him. However, he did not wait to come to Su. Shi, but waited for Dali Siqing to personally examine.
Dali Temple Secretary came prepared, and he brought Qin Zhun with personal and physical evidence. He clearly stated when and how much silver he had embezzled, so Qin Zhun took a breath of air. I think I'm doing something hidden, but I don't want everything to be traceable.
At this point, Qin Zhun couldn't die with a hardened beak, so he could only confess all the sins that should be confessed. By the way, he also confessed Li Yuanchun, the former Taipusi Shaoqing, hoping that he could serve as a personal testimony and be treated with leniency.
As a result, an urgent arrest warrant for Sanbaili was issued, and Li Yuanchun, who had returned to his hometown, was also taken down.
After Qin Zhun signed the confession and adjourned, he was sent back to prison again. He waited nervously and waited until the day of the Trial of the Three Divisions. For corruption, he was sentenced to seizure, dismissal, exile, and confiscated all family properties.
Qin Zhun, who heard the sentence, seemed to be frozen, and knelt there motionless. It wasn't until two government officials came to pull him that he reacted and shouted, "I'm not satisfied!"
Qin Zhun's face was pale and panic. At this moment, besides shock, he was more afraid.
He thought that the most was just dismissal, and he thought that the most was just selling his family property to fill in the money he had taken away. He at least still had the title and at least some family property left.
However, he was actually sentenced to exile, he had nothing!
Qin Zhun couldn't help thinking of the exile fifteen years ago. At that time, because his father was there and his elder brother was there, he still had the backbone. He knew that no matter how bad the situation was, someone from the Qin family was supporting it, even in Minzhou. Some of the officials over there were thinking about old feelings, and they also took care of the Qin family a lot. Once, he heard his father tell his elder brother by chance that as long as he survives those years and waits for the prince to become the throne, everything will be fine...
At that time, he still had hope.
But now it's different. Father and eldest brother are gone, and he is the only one left...
"I'm not convinced!" Qin Zhun shouted louder than ever, and the two government officials didn't care about it and dragged him out of the court.
Qin Zhun became more and more afraid, shouting heartbreakingly: "The emperor, I want to see the emperor!"
"Our Qin family exiled Minzhou for the emperor fifteen years ago, and my eldest brother stayed in Minzhou for this..."
Qin Zhun’s voice was getting farther and farther away and dragged down, leaving only the people who were in the courtroom to be heard. Some people curiously asked about the old things Qin Zhun had said fifteen years ago. For a while, rumors fell.
The words Qin Zhun shouted in the court reached the emperor's ears on the same day.
emperor:"……"
The emperor stood in front of the window with his hands held down, and did not speak for a long time.
Sunlight cast a mottled shadow on his face through the sparse tree canopy, and a few birds fluttered past the window with their wings flapping, making a slight flapping sound.
Otherwise, there was no sound.
Zhou Xin carefully examined the emperor's face, and hesitated to suggest: "The emperor, do you think you should take it lightly?"
As Qin Zhun said, after all, the Qin family sacrificed a lot in order to protect the emperor's crown prince. After all, Qin Jue and his wife died in Minzhou, and the emperor could not lose the reputation of killing the donkey.
The emperor lifted his hand and signaled Zhou Xin not to mention it any more, and then spoke: "Telling my will, the title of the Lord of Loyalty Marquis will be attacked by Long Fang Qin Zening."
Zhou Xin immediately went to formulate the decree, so that afternoon, Zhou Xin took the emperor’s decree to the Zhongyi Hou’s Mansion. In the past few days, because Mrs. Qin Tai’s condition has been changing from time to time, the three brothers and sisters of Qin Zening and Qin Jiu Stayed back temporarily. Qin Zening recently took a leave of absence and served Madam Qin in the Hou Mansion.
As soon as the imperial edict came, everyone gathered in the main hall to listen to Zhou Xin reading the imperial edict.
When the words "Qin this" fell, Qin Sheng jumped up first and shouted dissatisfied: "Why?!"
"I have a younger brother, so why should the title be inherited by the long room!"
Qin Sheng talked about pulling Qin Zezhou next to him, and Qin Zezhou was stunned. From the night his mother Su was accused of murdering his grandmother, he worried that he might lose the title because of this, worried that his mother would be deprived, worried... Thinking that the situation was worse than he thought, his father was seized and the title was transferred to the lobby brother of the long room!
Zhou Xin was the great next to the dignified emperor, so he didn't bother to explain to Qin Sheng as a yellow-haired girl. After Qin Zening took the order, he smiled and said to him: "Qin San...Now our family should call you Lord Hou. "
He smiled and bowed his hand to Qin Zening, "In a while, Jin Yiwei will come to Hou's mansion to search his home, so don't worry about Lord Hou. The long house and the second house have been separated, and Qin Zhun is corrupt. This time, the property confiscated is the second house's property.
"Please." Qin Zening politely faced Duke Zhou, holding the still hot imperial decree in both hands.
Although Qin Zening did not attend the Trial of the Three Divisions this morning, someone told him the result of the trial. He also knew that Qin Zhun was taken the title. It was a pity at the moment. After all, this is the title left by his ancestors. .
However, it is only a little pity, the title is gone if he is gone, he is still young, since Gu Zezhi can earn him the title of Chenjun, so can he!
Qin Zening had no idea that the emperor would pass the title of Marquis Zhongyi to himself.
Qin Sheng was going crazy. Seeing that his brother was silent, he felt that he was really useless, yelling, "I'm not convinced!"
"The long room, it must be the long room deliberately slandering my father and my mother for the title!"
"I'm going to beat the drum, I'm going to beat the drum for my father..."
Qin Sheng shouted louder and louder, describing madness.
Qin Jiu frowned, called the maid in Qin Sheng's yard, and gave only five words: "Take care of the four girls."
This maid in charge is Qin Sheng’s nanny, her heart is toward Qin Sheng, and she hopes that Qin Sheng is good, but now that the imperial decree has been laid down, and the tree is done, the emperor gave the title to Qin Zening, which means that Qin Zening is The new owner of this Hou Mansion, Qin Zhun was about to be exiled, this Hou Mansion was Qin Sheng's only reliance. At this time, Qin Zening was angered, and for Qin Sheng's brother and sister, there were no benefits.
"It's... Lord Hou." The maid in charge immediately responded, and brought some maids to persuade Qin Sheng away somehow.
Qin Zezhou also left, desperate.
Since the death of his grandfather and his father inherited the title, his father and mother told him that he would be the future heir of the Marquis, and he has always thought so until today!
He felt as if the sky and the earth were turned upside down.
Qin Zezhou's heart was in confusion. At this moment, he couldn't help complaining about his father. It was clear that the family had a title and rich family property, and they could live in peace and stability. Why did his father have to move Changyingku's money? ? !
It's all right now, there is nothing left! !
Qin Zening didn't care about Qin Zezhou and Qin Sheng, and personally sent away Zhou Xin and other angels.
Qin Zeyu felt a little incredulous, and squeezed his thigh to be sure that everything was true.
"Sister, then are we moving back?"
The Zhongyi Hou's Mansion was bestowed by the imperial court. The Qin family lived in this mansion for generations.
Since Qin Zening had attacked the majesty, this mansion belonged to Qin Zening. It stands to reason that they would naturally move back, otherwise, it would be wrong to speak up.
"It should be." Qin Jiu was a little bit reluctant to stay at the house in Hulu Lane. She personally repaired and arranged the house a little bit. Although it was only half a year since she moved, for her, it was already in ancient times. Home now.
Qin Zeyu is different from Qin Jiu. He was born in Minzhou, but when he was young, he had no memories of Minzhou for a long time. He grew up in this Hou Mansion. Here are his memories from childhood. It's his home.
Moreover, after moving back, he will have a huge racetrack that can be used as a martial arts field!
Qin Zeyu wanted more and more joy, but he could still see his sister's reluctance towards Hulu Lane, his eyes rolled around, and he pressed Qin Jiao with his elbow, and said with a smile: "Sister, if you like That house, let your eldest brother do you a dowry!"
Qin Jiu felt that the bear child was getting smaller and smaller, and was about to teach him a lesson. At this time, Qin Zening came back. Not only him, but also a group of Jin Yiwei guards, led by Deputy Commander Jin Yiwei Ren Chenghao.
In this weekday, Jin Yiwei's home was ransacked and murderous, but today they were surprisingly peaceful, and the people in the Hou Mansion near the gate were also slightly relieved.
As long as the Hou Mansion is still there, the descendants of them will have a way of life.
