Qian Baokun was originally angry that Xiao Yan used him and the Qian family, and even more secretly hated that he had dragged himself into the muddy water of the aristocratic family. However, after hearing Xiao Yan's words, the anger in his heart suddenly became a little unresponsive. Xiao Yan, full of sincerity, hesitated instead.
"But if you trespass the Central Secretariat and Ling Mansion, you can't afford to take the blame..."
"Shangshu Qian was joking. I was just doing the job for His Majesty, and I was also trying to clear the court. The grain case is related to people's livelihood. Those victims who died in vain during the previous floods must have someone to stand up for them. The worms in the court are unclear, and those unjust souls are also It's rare to have peace."
Xiao Yan had an outstanding appearance, and his body was full of evil spirits in the past, but at this time he had lost his coldness. His eyes were like the warm sun on the water surface of the mountain stream, and there was an unspeakable deep and gentleness among the rippling waves.
"Although I am a eunuch, I have also received the kindness of all living beings. My heart is the same as that of Qian Shangshu."
"I am not vain with you. Saying loyalty to the emperor and serving the country is bound to make people laugh at me, but if I can make the court clear and the lowly people have a smooth road, and make the people of the world happy, even if I use any means, I will be happy to be happy. Believe this notorious thing."
"The Lu family is a cancer in the court and will go sooner or later. If Your Majesty really wants to be punished under pressure this time, I will admit it, so Secretary Qian doesn't have to worry."
Qian Baokun opened his mouth: "But..."
"Shangshu Qian doesn't need to persuade him, I have decided."
Xiao Yan suddenly stopped the carriage, turned to Qian Baokun and said, "The palace gate is ahead. Qian Shangshu should leave with the governor. You should take three men to the palace to meet the saint first. After seeing His Majesty, It is said that this governor deceived the three men of the mansion and instigated them to be pawns."
"After you meet the saint, I will go to see Your Majesty again, so as not to let Your Majesty misunderstand you and me and collude with you and I, and delay Qian Shangshu."
Xiao Yan's considerate made Qian Baokun a little at a loss.
He originally thought that Xiao Yan was just using him and the Qian family to step on them to deal with the people of the aristocratic family, but now he saw that he was willing to take the blame himself, and even let him expel him at will before the saint, even the account book of the grain embezzlement was It was handed over to him just to make him feel at ease.
Qian Baokun's previous momentum almost disappeared, and guilt appeared in his heart: "Governor Xiao, why not go to His Majesty with you to explain. With this account book, Your Majesty would not blame him..."
"No need. If you don't leave your relationship with me, the aristocratic family will not let you go, and Your Majesty will be suspicious."
Seeing that Qian Baokun wanted to speak, Xiao Yan waved his hand and interrupted him:
"No need to say more, I know Qian Shangshu's intentions, but I have a bad reputation after all, and walking with me will affect your future. Lu Chongyuan is not easy to be with. You should go to the palace quickly, don't call people from the Lu family. He stolen the truth in front of His Majesty. "
Qian Baokun was "driven" from the carriage by Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yan did not take back the account book in his hand. Seeing Xiao Yan leading the black armored guard towards the direction of the Privy Council, he was not worried about him from beginning to end. Will be slandered before the holy.
Qian Baokun couldn't help but pursed his lips hard, his face full of emotion.
"Father, why are they leaving?"
The three brothers of the Qian family walked behind, not knowing what was going on. Seeing Xiao Yan leave without looking back, the Qian family's eldest brother was immediately anxious.
"Didn't Xiao Yan say that he wants to enter the palace with us? They have caused such a big deal. Do they want to cross the river and destroy the bridge? After using us, they want to put us aside and let our Qian family be a shield?!"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Qian Baokun turned his head and whispered: "Governor Xiao is not the kind of person you think."
Qian Qingran: "?" He looked at his own father blankly, "What's wrong with you?"
When Qian Baokun came out of the Lu family, he kept saying that Xiao Yan was despicable and shameless, and he was extremely disgusting. Moreover, the Qian family has never been with the rest of the court. When Qian Baokun mentioned Xiao Yan to them earlier, he was also full of Full of disgust?
Qian Baokun held the thing in his hand, his face full of complexity: "I was wrong about Xiao Yan. In the past, I only thought that eunuchs were ruthless and acted too much by any means, but now I know that governor Xiao is also a very ambitious person. Although he has defects, his character is far superior to other people in the court…"
Qian Qingran: "??"
The second brother of Qian family: "Dad, are you crazy? So Xiao Yan has any ambitions, do you kill someone?"
He criticized Lu Qin's crazy character who always used his skills and almost cut off Lu Qin's life, saying that he had a good character and his father was crazy?
Qian Baokun glanced at his second son: "Others follow the crowd. If you think about it carefully, Xiao Yan kills all the people who should be killed, and there is nothing good to fall into his hands."
The second brother of Qian's family: "…"
He watched his father's attitude change suddenly from his initial anger to now. Not only did he not blame Xiao Yan for his use, but he actually found a confidant and praised him. The second brother of the Qian family couldn't help looking at the Qian beside him, and Qingran muttered, "Brother, did our father take the wrong medicine?"
Instantly, Qian Baokun got a knife: "What did you say?"
The second brother of Qian quickly shrank his neck and hid aside.
Qian Qingran didn't know what happened in the carriage just now, which could make Qian Baokun's attitude change drastically, but the most important thing at the moment was the matter on the Lu family. He frowned and asked, "Father, no matter what Xiao Yan is like, Lu Jia's side will definitely not give up. What should we do next, should we still go to the palace?"
Qian Baokun said in a deep voice: "Come in!"
"Then it's as I said before..."
"No need."
Qian Baokun's eyes were slightly condensed. He had already thought about it. Xiao Yan planned to plot against him and the Qian family. Even if he was tied to the same boat, he would bite him hard to let him know that Qian Baokun was also Not easy to mess with, but now...
Since Xiao Yan is willing to take a step back and keep the Qian family peaceful, he naturally will not let him take care of the Lu family's affairs alone.
Qian Baokun said in a deep voice: "I will go to meet Your Majesty after entering the palace later. You three don't have to speak. If Your Majesty summons you alone, you will say this..."
He whispered a few words in front of the three of them.
After hearing this, the three brothers of the Qian family couldn't help but look up in surprise.
Qian Qingran frowned: "Father, are you really so determined? If Your Majesty is suspicious of the Qian family and Xiao Yan colluding..."
"You don't have to worry about this. Since I let you say this, you are sure that your Majesty will not be suspicious." Qian Baokun said, "Just do as I said."
Although Qian Qingran hesitated, Qian Baokun looked affirmative, but he still nodded and agreed.
"Okay, I'll listen to my father."
Nympho
The Qian family carriage headed straight towards the palace. At the corner not far away, Xiao Yan and others who should have left were staying in place. After seeing Qian Baokun and his party enter the palace, Canglang went towards him. The carriage said, "Supermaster, the Qian family's father and son have entered the palace."
Jinyun still couldn't help but frown when he saw someone entering the palace and said, "Will the Supervisor do this be too risky? The account book is related to the grain case, which is the evidence we finally got from Cai Qi. Now we are handing over it to you. Qian Baokun."
"The Qian family is also a family in Lingnan. Qian Baokun may not be able to empathize with the situation of the aristocratic family. If he was afraid of the Lu family's power to hide it privately, or he would use this to repair the Qian family and the Lu family, wouldn't it be a big deal that would have ruined the affairs of the Supervisor. ? "
"Qian Baokun doesn't."
Xiao Yan rubbed the ring between his fingers in his hand, and his face was particularly calm.
Although the Qian family is also a noble family, the style of the Qian family is completely different from that of the aristocratic families in Beijing that have been in high positions for a long time. When he was young, he met the head of the Qian family. He was a compassionate and extremely generous person, and there were very few people in the Qian family. The story of a playboy has been rumored to be the Qian family, and Lingnan is also a well-known family of good fortune.
He often takes care of the people of nearby prefectures and counties. He will always donate money whenever there is a disaster and never hides his own personal gain. Therefore, the Qian family is extremely prestigious in the Lingnan area.
Qian Baokun's temperament is very similar to his brother, the head of the Qian family. When he was an official in Lingnan, he cared about the people's livelihood. After entering Beijing, he held an important position in the Ministry of Revenue, but he did not embezzle any of it. Earlier, Nan Due to the corruption of aristocratic officials, everyone was in a dilemma in the disaster relief work, but Qian Baokun secretly supported him and did his best to raise money from the Ministry of Revenue.
Later, the case of grain broke out. When he went to the south to investigate, everything went smoothly. The Qian family also secretly helped him. He would not believe that he would not believe it if Qian Baokun did not help dealing with it.
Xiao Yan said softly: "Qian Baokun seems to be timid but in fact he has a very tough temper. If I am determined to defend him, he will be tired of me to use it. But now I take a step back and he will give me a favor. If so He may not help me with other things, but he will not sit idly by the grain case."
"Besides…"
He chuckled,
"This Minister of Revenue is a person who truly loves his daughter."
The Qian family gave birth to three sons and had such a female daughter. Qian Qiyue was sick when she was young, and the Qian family was still protected by pearls and treasures. She did not allow anyone to say that she was not at all, let alone being frightened by Lu Zhinian. Injured.
It would have been fine if the Qian family made a fuss this time today, but it was not just for Qian Qiyue, but it was not only using the little girl as an excuse, but also related to her reputation. Even if she really knew that she was being used by someone, Money Baokun would also grit his teeth and swallow this matter and blood.
Xiao Yan almost touched Qian Baokun's thoughts thoroughly.
Jinyun outside felt a little relieved when he heard this, but he couldn't help asking: "What if something happens to Qian Baokun's place..."
"If something happens to him, this governor will naturally have other ways to deal with it. Besides, who told you that there is only one account book?"
Jinyun: "?"
Jinyun: "!!!"
Isn't it just one serving...wait.
He was stunned: "Is the copy given to Qian Baokun by the Lord?"
Xiao Yan raised his lips: "It is a normal human nature to guard against others."
Jinyun: "…"
Canglang squatted on the edge of the carriage, looking at Jinyun's shocked look, laughing: "I told you a long time ago not to worry about anything. We are the only ones who fool others. When did you see others occupy the supervisor? Cheap? "
I didn't see Qian Baokun getting off the carriage and was slapped.
Jinyun was silent when he heard this, and suddenly felt that he had regretted before and felt that he had misunderstood the governor of his family, and he was a little pitiful.
Canglang took the silver and stuffed it into his clothes, smiling:
"Okay, thank you for the reward!"
Nympho
Song Ru's face was still pale and her lips were not covered with blood.
While tidying up the silver needles for pain relief by the window, I turned my head to see Song Tangning worriedly, and comforted him: "Don't worry, she was not seriously injured. It was probably because it was because it was her first time here. Guishui happened to hit her lower abdomen again, which made her feel a little unbearable for a while."
"I have given her an injection to relieve the pain, and I took the medicine again, which can temporarily let her sleep peacefully for a while, but her body is weak and cold. I just looked at her pulse and noticed that her body was so deficient. If it was difficult to recuperate, , waiting for the age of the future, not only will it be difficult for children, but it will also be full of illness."
Madam Qin had heard that Song Tangning, a sister, was not valued in the Duke of Song's Mansion, and her life was difficult. She had seen her thin and small before, but after taking the pulse carefully, she realized that she was not only unwelcome. The little girls from the poor people were not as weak as they were, and their skinny arms were simply hungry.
Song Tangning pursed his lips: "If I take good care of myself, can Aru's body be raised?"
Niangzi Qin said, "Of course, the little lady is still young after all, and she is still in time to raise her now. It's better to postpone her marriage, so as not to get pregnant too early and get over the birth level. If she can wait until twenty years old. Then she will be no different from other ordinary women."
Song Ru is less than fourteen years old this year and will be married for five or six years. I think she can get her body back. If she has another child, she will not risk going through the gates of hell.
Song Tangning nodded after hearing this: "I understand, I will remind Aru."
"Don't you tell Princess Cheng about what happened today?" asked Niangzi Qin.
Song Tangning whispered: "I'll tell my aunt later."
Madam Qin hesitated: "The child in Princess Cheng's belly..." She couldn't help but look at Song Tangning, "The child is getting older in the month. If he wants to keep it, he must start to raise it carefully. If it is... it should have been earlier. I decided that it would hurt my body any later."
Niangzi Qin couldn't quite understand Princess Cheng. During this period, she went to the mansion to take the pulse of Princess Cheng from time to time. Every time she saw her, she felt that Princess Cheng was not very enthusiastic about the children in her womb.
This child's love is not good, and his heart is naturally weak. Even if he raises it well, he is afraid he will be weak. But if Princess Cheng doesn't want this child, she followed the doctor's advice and took the medicine carefully. Delay a little.
Madam Qin couldn't help but ask, "Does Princess Cheng still plan to return to Prince Cheng's Mansion?"
Song Tangning whispered, "Auntie probably wants to go back."
"But King Cheng..."
"It's not for King Cheng, but for Xie Yin." Even though Song Tangning didn't want to, he knew that his aunt was not so easy to let go of Xie Yin.
Niang Qin was silent after hearing this. Although she had never given birth to a child, she knew that the relationship between mother and son was hard to give up. She didn't ask any more questions, but just sighed softly.
As expected, getting married is the most troublesome. It is better to practice medicine, have no worries and don't have to compromise yourself.
The two chatted for a few other words. Song Tangning was worried about Xiao Yan, who went to the Lu family, and from time to time he visited the window. After waiting for a long time, the sound of the servants in the mansion saluted came from outside.
"Supervisor."
Brother is back?
She quickly called out "Brother", then walked out quickly, and the faster she reached the door, she almost trotted.
When Xiao Yan and his feet stopped urgently, Xiao Yan reached out and helped him: "Run slowly, I'm here."
