Strange love across time and space

As the days passed, Su Qing not only helped Jiang's shop housekeeper, but also went to the farm to see how the crops were growing.

On this day, Su Qing took Phantom and Qingzhu to Xingfu Manor as usual. There she met King Jin who also came to see how the crops were growing. King Jin was very happy to see Su Qing and invited Su Qing to visit him at noon. The two Zhuangzi were not far away, and Su Qing happened to be hungry, so she readily agreed. Although Phantom didn't want Su Qing to have too much contact with King Jin, she thought of what Su Qing had said to him before. I persuaded myself in my heart not to think too much.

After lunch, Su Qing and King Jin walked back together. As soon as the two carriages arrived at the city gate, the phantom saw Li Qiang, the son of the steward Li of the Su Mansion, riding towards them. The phantom saw the expression on Li Qiang's face. With an anxious expression, knowing that something had happened, he stopped the carriage. As soon as Butler Li reached the carriage, he reined in the reins, turned over and dismounted, and hurried to the carriage window. Phantom immediately said into the carriage.

"Miss, Li Qiang is here."

Su Qing immediately opened the car curtain. When Li Qiang saw Su Qing, he said eagerly, "Miss! The master was taken away by people from the Criminal Department! You should go back home quickly!"

Su Qing frowned after hearing this, "What's going on? Tell me clearly!"

"I don't know the specific situation. After lunch, when the master was about to take a rest, Mr. Zhang, the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment, led a group of people into the house and said that the master was using power for personal gain and collecting bribes, and was reported to the emperor. The emperor was furious. Let someone from the Criminal Department arrest the master!" Li Qiang said.

After hearing this, Phantom looked serious, "Don't worry! Let's go back first and talk about it later!"

At this time, King Jin got off the carriage. He heard what Li Qiang said just now. He walked to Su Qing's carriage and said to Su Qing, "Don't panic. You go home first. I will go to the palace to see my father right away." , I will notify you immediately as soon as there is news!"

Su Qing nodded, "Go back home!" Phantom flicked his whip and the carriage started running.

Returning to the Su Mansion, as soon as she entered the front yard, Jiang greeted her. Su Qing took her hand and asked as she walked, "Mom, what is going on? I don't believe that dad will accept bribes. Is someone framed?"

"Mom doesn't believe that your father would do such a thing, but Mr. Zhang, the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment, said that someone has handed over the evidence of your father's bribery to the emperor. Your eldest brother has gone out to find out the news. Qingqing, what should we do?" Jiang said worriedly.

"Mom, don't worry. On the way back just now, His Royal Highness Prince Jin has gone to the palace to ask the emperor. He will inform us as soon as there is news." Su Qing reassured Jiang.

"Okay, it's good that His Highness Prince Jin can help. I don't know who the hell is trying to frame your father! Once your father's grievances are cleared, I will definitely not let him go!" Jiang said bitterly.

Su Qing was very confused. The person who could frame her father must have a grudge against the Su family. Queen? Li concubine? Princess Yunxia? Prince? Or King Rui and Xiao Yuhan?

When Jiang saw that Su Qing didn't speak and was only staring at the door, she also looked towards the door and couldn't help but ask, "Where is the Phantom? Didn't he go to the Zhuangzi with you?"

"Phantom was sent by me to find out about dad." Su Qing said.

In the evening, Phantom came back. As soon as he entered the door, Jiang rushed forward and asked, "What can you find out?"

Phantom glanced at Su Qing, who was following Jiang, and nodded, "It was the master's colleague Ge Binghuai who wrote a memorial to the emperor to expose the master for accepting bribes from local officials and changing the assessment results."

"Who is Ge Binghuai? Why did he do this?" Su Qing asked.

"Ge Binghuai is Libi's brother and also serves in the cabinet." Phantom replied.

Su Qing frowned after hearing this. Did Libi guess that the third princess's illness was caused by her own hands?

At this time, Butler Li's voice came from outside the door: "Madam, the guards beside His Royal Highness Prince Jin are here."

"Let him in quickly!" Jiang ordered quickly.

When others entered the room, Su Qing saw that the person who came was Qian Feng, and immediately asked, "What did His Highness King Jin say?"

Qianfeng cupped his hands and said, "Master asked me to tell my wife and the county boss that the person who exposed Mr. Su was Li Bin's brother Ge Binghuai. Mr. Ge presented several letters to the emperor. The letters were written to Su by several state officials. The contents of the letters were probably asking Mr. Su to be lenient in the areas where they did not do well, and they also said that they were given a few banknotes to show their appreciation. There were two letters saying thank you to Mr. Su for taking care of them. When they return to the capital after their term of office is over, they will come to thank Mr. Su."

After hearing this, Jiang said angrily, "Did the emperor convict me just because of these letters? He didn't check to see if someone had framed him!"

Qianfeng bowed his hand towards Jiang again, "Madam, don't worry, the master has said that although the emperor is angry, he is not a person who doesn't know right from wrong. After Lord Ge exposed it, several ministers in the court and many censors from the censorship station wrote letters Please, Your Majesty, investigate Mr. Su strictly. Your Majesty knows that Mr. Su was framed by others, but in order to stabilize those people, he had to ask the Ministry of Punishments to lock Mr. Su up first and then send people to investigate strictly. But please don’t worry, Madam and County Lord, Mr. Su. It is not a prison cell in the Criminal Department, but a place where the emperor's relatives are detained. Each prisoner has a separate courtyard, and his food and clothing are taken care of by servants. The master has also visited Mr. Su, and Mr. Su also asked the master to send a message to you. , saying that there is no need to worry too much, the emperor will not believe those people's words easily, and will let him out when the Ministry of Punishment finds out."

After listening to Qianfeng's words, Jiang and Su Qing breathed a sigh of relief. Jiang said, "Can your Highness, Prince Jin, bring some changes of clothes to my master?"

Seeing Qianfeng nod, Jiang quickly asked Nanny Lin to pack some clothes that Su Qixuan usually wore, and stuffed some banknotes and some broken silver into Qianfeng.

"Please give these to my master. Although the place of detention is not a prison cell, I still can't trust the people inside. I will use this money to manage my servants."

"Madam, don't worry, I will definitely pass it on to Mr. Su!" Qianfeng said.

"Did His Highness say what we need to do?" Su Qing stepped forward and asked Qianfeng.

"Master said, Madam and the County Master don't have to do anything, Master can make arrangements as he pleases!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, for me. Once my father's grievances are cleared, our whole family will go to Prince Jin's Mansion to express our gratitude!" Su Qing said gratefully.

"Then I'll leave first!" Qianfeng said, bowed, took the baggage and walked out the door.

As soon as Qianfeng left, Su Rui came back. Seeing Su Rui's anxious look, Su Qing told him what Phantom and Qian Feng had just said. Su Rui breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, took a sip of tea, and looked at Jiang, "Mom, our Su family has no enmity with Ge Binghuai, why did he frame dad?"

Jiang shook her head, "Mother doesn't know either, she will find out sooner or later when the emperor finds out!"

Su Qing silently glanced at Phantom, who winked at her, and the two of them understood each other tacitly.
