Rebirth of the Prime Minister's Wife

Qin Zhaozhao stood in the shed distributing food to the people. When she raised her eyes, she could see the endless stream of dragons in front of her. When she turned to look at the people covered with thick quilts, huddled in the simple thatched shed, drinking porridge and eating steamed buns, they were lightly moved. Sigh softly.

Even though she was mentally prepared, she still couldn't help but feel heart palpitations when she saw the tragic situation in Xinxiang.

Blizzards, exorbitant taxes, any one thing can crush hundreds or thousands of people to death.

If she had come a little later, she would have been stinking of wine and meat everywhere, and people would have been frozen to death on the road.

No matter what her thoughts were, she never wanted to see this scene.

"Little girl, give me some more." The old and skinny hand stretched out tremblingly, and the edge of the bowl was broken into a few uneven pieces. The old man with messy white hair held a wooden stick in one hand and said to her, " My wife has frostbite and has difficulty moving. Can you get me an extra steamed bun? Just one."

The big man who was monitoring the strange situation not far away saw the strange situation and walked up.

Qin Zhaozhao motioned them to stop where they were with his hands behind his back, and waved to Qinglian. Qinglian immediately understood, made a few hot steamed buns, and handed them to the old man.

The old man's eyes were moist, and his mouth was so dry that it was peeling. Although he couldn't hear what he was saying, he could clearly distinguish his mouth movements -

Thank you.

The wide hood almost covered half of Qin Zhaozhao's face, and her lips had turned white due to the biting cold wind. She nodded gently to the people who kept saying thank you to her.

"Grandpa, come in. Although the shed is simple, it can keep you warm." She said softly, and the old man nodded repeatedly and left holding the bowl.

Qin Changqing walked to her side, looked at the old man's staggering steps, and said with a serious look, "Sister, when will this natural disaster end?"

He has seen through all kinds of situations in the world in the past few days, and has also deeply realized how insignificant human beings are in front of God.

"The cold winter will eventually pass." Qin Zhaozhao raised his head and saw that all living beings were suffering. "But man-made disasters are ruthless. If we don't eradicate the roots, even if the natural disasters are over, these people will never have peace."

Qin Changqing nodded in agreement and glanced around with an unkind look.Sure enough, there were a few more sneaky figures among the crowd that he caught at a glance.

"These people are really haunted! Sister, how long are we going to endure this?" Qin Changqing clenched his fists. It can be said that Buzhou has been in dire straits these days. Some people are either deliberately causing conflicts or posing as mobs to stir up trouble. , several times even the shed was not saved, and things were stolen frequently.

If Qin Zhaozhao hadn't stopped him, he would have arrested those people and tied them to a tree to show the public.

Qin Zhaozhao was calm and composed. She handed a bowl of porridge to the hungry people in front of her and replied calmly, "Be patient, the fish will always take the bait."

At night, the long street is calm and desolate, with only the desolate cold wind lingering.

Qin Zhaozhao and Qin Changqing were counting the remaining rice grains in a granary not far away. Qin Changqing opened the pot and looked at the grains that had been swept away again. He sighed, "The hungry people are more hungry than we thought." If it continues like this, we won’t be able to survive for three days.”

After waiting for a long time, I still couldn't hear the response from the person behind me.

"Sister?"

He turned around and saw Qin Zhaozhao with his back turned to him, quietly looking at several police officers outside the station door.

A thin middle-aged man slowly walked out among the police. He looked at Qin Zhaozhao's half-covered face and said coldly, "But Qin Zhaozhao and Qin Changqing, the criminals?"

Qin Zhaozhao didn't reply, his eyes hidden in his hood glowed with a cold light.

The master didn't even think of waiting for the two to reply. He directly raised his hand and waved, "Take it away!"

Qin Changqing stopped in front of her fiercely, his whole body tense, and he looked at the visitor defensively, "What are you going to do?"

Yamen's official uniforms, are these people sent by the county magistrate?

The master's face was expressionless, as if he was just a routine person, his eyes were numb and indifferent, "Master Liu has an order to arrest those who disturb the people's hearts."

Qin Zhaozhao lowered his head slightly, and his pleasant voice was filled with doubts, as if she was really an ordinary woman who didn't know anything about the world, "Disturbing people's hearts? May I ask, sir, am I occupying other people's fertile land, or am I preying on the common people?"

The master's eyebrows jumped sharply. She didn't do it, but what she said was Liu Qu's handiwork.

This woman is really not simple.

He took a deep look at Qin Zhaozhao, and without wanting to say more, he took the person and escorted him back to the Yamen.

When Qin Zhaozhao sat in the gloomy cell again, his head began to tingle faintly again.

Her index finger was tightly clasping her cuffs, and her beautiful face had a strange paleness.

The humid and moldy air, the darkness that even a candlelight outside the cell could not dispel, everything seemed to overlap with that night.

Even if she didn't think about it, the figures of those people kept appearing in her mind, and the turbid smell of blood seemed to linger on the tip of her nose, unable to go away.

Qin Changqing held the railing of the cell with one hand, and with a little force, the railing tilted to one side with his strength.

He nodded with satisfaction, pulled the railing back as if nothing had happened, patted the dust and rust on his hands, turned back to Qin Zhaozhao and said, "Sister, you don't have to worry, if the dog officer comes and wants to take action, I will definitely do it." Keep you safe."

Qin Zhaozhao pursed his lips tightly and nodded after a long time.

Qin Changqing frowned, and he stepped forward to check worriedly. When he saw Qin Zhaozhao's pale face, he suddenly became solemn and said, "Sister, you have another headache?"

"It's okay." Qin Zhaozhao comforted softly. She patted Qin Changqing's hand soothingly and was about to say something else.I heard the sound of the chains coming loose outside the cell.

The sound of messy footsteps quickly approached the location of the two, and then a voice sounded, "Are these two people?"

Liu Qu twirled his mustache, narrowed his small eyes, and looked at the people in the cell with great disdain, "Are these the two people you said would threaten me?"

"Master, are you reading a book and looking stupid? Just because of a brat and a dead girl, do you disturb my mood in the middle of the night?"

Liu Qu glared at the master, but the master was unusually silent. It was clearly him who caught him, but he didn't say anything after he was caught. He numbly allowed Liu Qu to vent his anger.

This is strange no matter how you look at it. Qin Zhaozhao glanced at his master and unexpectedly found that he was actually looking at him.

Why was he staring at her?Could it be that he has seen his original form? ?As soon as Qin Zhaozhao came up with this idea, she rejected it.The original appearance was so different from her own that it was absolutely impossible to recognize her by appearance.

She glanced at Qin Changqing and saw that he looked guarded and fierce, not as if he knew him.

Judging from the strange behavior of this master from beginning to end, it seems that he is not very willing to catch himself and Qin Changqing here.

Just as she was thinking deeply about what she meant, she suddenly heard Liu Qu making a suspicious voice. He suddenly ordered the jailer next to him, "Open the door."

After the door was opened, he walked in. He actually ignored Qin Changqing and stopped in front of Qin Zhaozhao. He stretched out his hand and pulled open his hood. His dazzling face was instantly revealed like a shining pearl, stunning everyone.

Liu Qu was lustful and thought that he would say vile words like those people in the past, but when Qin Zhaozhao looked up, he could only see a flash of fear in his eyes.

Liu Qu seemed to have seen a ghost, "You...are you...are you Qin Zhaozhao?"

Qin Changqing finally couldn't help it, stopped Qin Zhaozhao behind him, and looked at him coldly, "Liu Gouguan, is it possible that your brain has been fooled by playing with women? You brought my sister here to put on a show for us. Are you pretending to be crazy?"

He was sarcastic, and even the master cast a puzzled look.

Only Qin Zhaozhao was shocked, and she understood the implication of Liu Qu's words.

He was not talking about Qin Zhaozhao of the Gu family, but Qin Zhaozhao of the Qin family.

Qin Zhaozhao frowned. She didn't expect to meet someone who recognized her here. This appearance was really a huge drag on her.

After thinking for only half a moment, she responded with an unchanging expression, "Why did Mr. Liu say this? Didn't you send someone to arrest Ah Qing and I for disturbing the people's hearts?"

"You...you...you're not dead yet?" Liu Qu was still immersed in this shocking emotion. As soon as he said these words, Qin Changqing was furious.

He stepped forward in two or two steps, holding Liu Qu's collar up high, with veins popping out on his forehead, "What the hell are you talking about, you damn dog official?"

"My sister is not only living well, but she will also live longer than you in the future."

"If you want to live, shut your mouth immediately."

He let go, and Liu Qu screamed in horror. A sharp pain suddenly came from his buttocks, but he had no time to care. He grabbed his master's hand to support him, and almost pinched it with his five fingers. Caught here?"

He seemed to be very taboo, and the panic in his words made the master puzzled, "After the sinner?"

He looked at Qin Zhaozhao, "But the Gu family is still well in the capital. I haven't heard of any crimes they committed."

Liu Qu was stunned, "Gu family?"

Qin Zhaozhao stood up, patted the dust on his clothes, and lowered his eyelashes to cover up the dim light in his eyes, "It seems that Mr. Liu has mistaken me for someone."

"I don't know who the guilty minister you are talking about is. As the master next to you said, my family is still well in Shengjing, not the queen of the guilty minister you mentioned."

After his master's explanation, Liu Qu's panicky expression gradually became reality.It seemed that he had just recalled that his ugly appearance had been clearly seen by everyone, and he suddenly became angry with shame.

"It turns out that she is a down-and-out young master who was driven to a village in the countryside. No wonder she had the courage to cause such things. Could it be that she thought she could cause trouble like your Gu family in the capital?"

He pointed at the two of them and said in a serious tone, "You two are so audacious, giving out porridge in a cloth tent? Was it that fat man who instigated you!"

Qin Zhaozhao smiled, and she nodded calmly, "Yes, he was the one who ordered me."

"Okay, it is indeed that damn fat man!" Liu Qu yelled, "I spared his life out of kindness, but he came here to flatter me without gratitude, and now he dares to bite me back?"

Qin Zhaozhao said, "Don't worry, Mr. Liu, the shopkeeper has no such intention. Instead, he wants to build a line with you."

Liu Qu was attracted by her words, "What do you mean?"

"The shopkeeper's business is getting worse day by day. Now the frost and snow have been falling for several days, and the bank's income has also plummeted." Qin Zhaozhao said, "He knew that he had offended the Lord before, but he did not dare to lose face. He originally wanted to come to the door in person. , but I was afraid of disrupting your daily business, so I thought of a way to let Ah Qing and I act as lobbyists on our behalf."

Liu Qu scolded angrily, "Look at the good things you have done, why do you have the nerve to deal with me over this?"

"Do you know that people are complaining now? If you hadn't done something unnecessary, how could I have gotten into this matter for no reason?"

"If I don't peel off your skin, you should burn incense and worship Buddha. You dare to talk glibly to me here, and you are so impatient!"

Qin Zhaozhao was unmoved and remained calm and composed, "The shopkeeper specifically told me that this porridge donation was to send Mr. Liu into a successful career."

Liu Qu's angry face froze, and he cast his eyes suspiciously. Only the master beside him stiffened and raised his head in disbelief, as if he had never seen anything so outrageous.

The phrase "a smooth rise to success" aroused the desire in Liu Qu's heart. The doubts in his eyes were still not gone, and he just asked, "What does the fat man mean?"

"Mr. Liu, do you know that the supervisory censor sent from Beijing will be here soon." Qin Zhaozhao's eyes were clear, as if he really had Liu Qu's interests in mind, "Mr. Liu has the talent to manage the world, and he is even more ambitious. This small temple in Xinxiang has really wronged you."

"Although the ninth rank is also an official, looking at the entire Beiyan officialdom, it is really too small. Don't you want to rise to the top step by step, make friends with those high-ranking officials and powerful people, and attract everyone's attention?"

"Once you gain power, you can enjoy endless gold and silver treasures and use them all." Qin Zhaozhao said every word, "When you get promoted step by step, you can even enter the palace to see His Majesty. With your ability, you might be able to When will you be able to sit in a high position?"

"The shopkeeper sees that you have such qualifications and regrets your past actions. Now in order to make up for the previous debt, he wants to use the power of the bank to give you a great fortune."

Liu Qu has never heard others praise him so highly. He has seen countless flatterers, but what Qin Zhaozhao said today really touched his heart.

His expression quickly changed from gloomy to clear, and he put his hands on his hands and laughed, "I see, it's rare for him to have such a kind heart. Yes. I have written down his thoughts today. When one day I am successful, I will not forget to support him!"

"Please tell me carefully, what does he mean by doing this for me?"

Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Qin Zhaozhao smiled and said, "Sir, won't you hold me two accountable?"

Liu Qu waved his hand, as if he was no longer the ninth-grade magistrate of Zhizhiguan, but a man of great power who had shaken things up in Shengjing. "I won't hold you accountable, but if you behave well, I will do your best to beautify you when I meet Mr. Gu in the future." Just say a few words and ask you to return to Beijing as soon as possible."

Qin Zhaozhao sneered, showing gratitude on the surface, "Thank you, sir."

"Then please listen to me carefully..."

Qin Changqing leaned against the wall with his arms folded, watching Liu Qu fall into Qin Zhaozhao's trap step by step, with ridicule on his face.

There are many ignorant things in this world, and the one in front of him is one.

Prosperity?

When the time comes, if this dog official doesn't obediently take off his official hat and roll into prison, his name, Qin Changqing, will be written upside down.
