The Cannon Fodder and Villain’s Happy Ending

Although she and Su Shi had had a bit of an unpleasant quarrel because of Qin Zhun's imprisonment during this period, Mrs. Qin did not expect Su Shi to the point where she wanted to poison herself.

Mrs. Qin Tai also inquired about it. The second son moved Chang Yingku's money. At most, he would be dismissed from office, imprisoned, fined money, or even won the title. But the crime does not end in death, as long as people live, life can always go on.

Just because she didn't agree to let Qin Zening convict her for her second son, and just because she quarreled with Su Clan, Su Clan actually wanted her to die?

!

Mrs. Qin Tai's heart was cold, and her whole body was chilled to the bone.

Qin Di gently trimmed Mrs. Qin's temples and comforted: Grandmother, you have a good rest, don't think too much, recuperation is the most important thing.

Qin Zeyu nodded frequently, Grandmother, why are you sad?

It's the person who poisoned it, not you.

... Mrs. Qin Tai opened her mouth slightly, but she still couldn't let go of her heart, she just felt a sigh of relief stuck in her heart.

Grandma, close your eyes and sleep for a while.

Qin Di persuaded again, big brother will be back soon, don't let big brother worry.

When it comes to the eldest grandson, Mrs. Qin is really safe. She closed her eyes. She was so weak that she fell asleep almost as soon as her body relaxed, and her breathing became even.

Doctor Xu went over to check the pulse of Mrs. Qin again.

In the room, needles could be heard falling, and no one dared to disturb Imperial Doctor Xu. The sound of insects in the courtyard seemed to be louder and dull at this moment.

After a while, they walked out of the inner room lightly again.

Imperial Physician Xu tightened his eyebrows and sighed: Miss Qin, Mrs. Tai is old after all, and her current condition is still not very good. I have to see if she can survive tonight... I will give her a prescription. .

Qin Zeyu, who finally came out of the inner room, also heard it, and his face was not very good-looking.

Mammy Cui and Mammy Ning had tears in their eyes. They were both dowry maids of Mrs. Tai. Thought there was still such a disaster!

Doctor Xu, please do your best!

Qin Di said solemnly.

Qin Zeyu next to him hurriedly gave Xu Taiyi a long bow. The thirteen-year-old naughty boy grew up a lot in just half a day.

The old man should do his best.

Imperial Physician Xu said quickly.

For the next hour, Mrs. Qin Tai fell into a drowsy sleep, and only woke up once when Mama Cui and the others were giving her medicine.

Qin Di and Qin Zeyu sat in the hall and waited, each with their own concerns, especially Qin Zeyu, who was silent tonight, pouring cup after cup of tea.

Until the third watch, Qin Zening finally came back with an unhappy expression on his face.

Brother, how is it?

Qin Di asked straight to the point. From Qin Zening's expression, he could roughly guess that the ending might be somewhat unsatisfactory.

Qin Zeyu hurriedly handed tea to his brother, Qin Zening drank half a cup of warm tea in one breath, and said, Just now, Lord Hu opened the court for trial overnight, but Zhao mama took the crime in one bite, and if she killed it, she was said to have poisoned her. grandmother.

Su Shi only said that she didn't know, she said that she made the cakes to please her grandmother.

Apart from the pastry residue in the box, there is no other evidence to prove that it was the Su family. Now she and Zhao mama are detained by Lord Hu for retrial.

Qin Zening picked up the tea cup again, and gulu Gulu took a few more sips of tea.

Seeing that his brother's tea cup was empty, Qin Zeyu refilled him with tea, and then heard Qin Zening say in a complicated tone: The Su family went out today, first to the Second Prince's Mansion to see Qin Xin, and then to the prison. I saw the second uncle.

... No matter how naive Qin Zeyu was, he understood the meaning of his eldest brother's words. With a panic in his hand, the teapot of the teapot shifted by an inch, and the tea splashed on the table outside the teapot.

What the big brother means is that the second aunt will poison the grandmother, mostly Qin Xin or Qin Zhun?

!

Qin Zeyu straightened the teapot again, widening his eyes in disbelief.

Although he knew that Qin Xin was different from what he thought, she had her own selfishness, and he was somewhat disappointed with this second sister, but he did not expect that she would attack her grandmother.

Qin Xin was brought up by her grandmother herself since she was a child, and her grandmother's favorite person was her, even if her eldest brother, the eldest grandson, was a bit inferior.

Qin Zeyu only felt chills all over his body. He knew that the elder brother would not say that casually. Since he opened his mouth, he was probably 70-80% sure.

Qin Zeyu's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but flash past scenes before his eyes. He couldn't help but wonder if he really knew Qin Xin?

! How could Qin Xin make a move?

!

Qin Zeyu's throat was astringent, and he couldn't say a word, but Qin Di didn't hesitate and asked directly, Brother, do you think it will be Qin Xin?

Qin Zening didn't answer, he paused for a while, then said again: Don't tell your grandmother about this... After saying that, he looked at Qin Zeyu uneasy, Especially you, Ayu, take care of you. mouth.

For Mrs. Qin, it was very different whether the poison of this pastry was from the Su family, or whether it was Qin Xin or Qin Zhun who ordered the Su family.

She is not out of danger yet, and can't stand this stimulation. She has to wait until the imperial doctor confirms that her condition is stable.

Qin Zeyu, who seemed to be frozen at first, almost didn't jump up and said, Brother, do I even know how serious this is?

! ... Third Sister, look at Big Brother!

Qin Zeyu counted on Qin Di to give him justice. If it wasn't for the inappropriate occasion, Qin Di almost didn't laugh, and touched the top of his brother's head perfunctorily, That's right, of course we, A Yu, know the importance...

Before she could finish her words, she heard the voices of Qin Sheng and Qin Zezhou from outside the house: Get out of the way! We want to see grandma!

You bitches, why are you stopping us from seeing our grandmother!

Qin Di looked up, only to find that Qin Zezhou and Qin Sheng were back again. The sister and brother wanted to enter the house, but were stopped outside the house by Mama Cui and a few wives.

Second master, fourth girl, Mrs. Tai fell asleep.

Madam Cui said patiently, Please come back.

Qin Sheng refused to leave, and said sharply: Even if grandma falls asleep, she will always wake up! Can't we wait inside?

!

That's right!

Qin Zezhou nodded straight, We have something to tell grandma!

say what?

Qin Zening sneered mockingly, Are you asking for mercy for your mother?

What can they say other than this?

!

When Qin Zening returned to the mansion, he heard from the guards of the Qin mansion who were guarding outside the mansion. Just now, Qin Sheng and Qin Zezhou went to the Su family together, apparently asking the Su family to give them some idea.

Qin Sheng raised his neck and looked at Qin Zening in the room, There is something wrong with our mother, but she was confused for a while because of her father. Anyway, my grandmother is not worried about her life.

Although Qin Zezhou also felt that what his mother Su did was wrong, he knew that his mother could not be convicted. Once his mother was convicted, how would he inherit the title of Marquis of Zhongyi, how would he stand in officialdom, and how would he talk about marriage in the future? Marry, he will regret it in his life!

This matter must not be a big one. If it is big, it is just a joke for outsiders to see their Zhongyi Hou Mansion. At most, after the mother returns to the mansion, she will kowtow to her grandmother and make amends.

Qin Zezhou eagerly said, Brother, grandmother is angry, we understand.

Looking back, no matter how grandmother punished mother, we never complained.

I just ask my grandmother to go to Jingzhao Mansion to ask for mercy for my mother. The people will not tell me, and the officials will not investigate. I have asked my fourth sister. As long as the bitter master is willing to plead for mercy, express understanding, and withdraw the case, my mother can come back.

inquire about?

This is the idea that the Su family gave them! Qin Zening simply laughed angrily.

Without more 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, sir!

Several of Ronghetang's mother-in-law immediately responded and swarmed towards Qin Zezhou and Qin Sheng.

presumptuous!

let me go!

No matter what Qin Zezhou and Qin Sheng called, no one would pay attention, including the guards of the Hou residence.

These servants can also understand the situation. Although they have split up their families, now Hou Ye has been imprisoned, and Mrs. Hou is involved in a lawsuit for murdering Mrs. Tai. When such a big thing happened, the third room is not like the invisible man. It can be seen that I don't want to get involved in the battle between the long room and the second room. The situation is stronger than people. At this time, it is obvious that the long room has the upper hand. Who would dare to face Qin Zening!

Qin Sheng and Qin Zezhou were escorted away, and the surroundings became quiet. The night was deeper and the night was as cold as water.

The three brothers and sisters stayed in the main room all night. In the middle of the night, Mrs. Qin's condition worsened and she vomited continuously. Fortunately, Imperial Physician Xu was there, and she performed acupuncture and moxibustion again, which stabilized and stopped the vomiting.

Because the decoction was vomited out by Mrs. Qin Tai, Mama Cui and the others went to boil the medicine again, and then poured it into Mrs. Qin. After tossing until the next day, her condition improved.

Doctor Xu checked the pulse of Mrs. Qin again, and her brows stretched out: Mrs. Tai's condition has stabilized, as long as you eat according to the prescription prescribed by the old man, and the old man will come back to see Mrs. Tai tomorrow.

Doctor Xu, I will escort you.

Qin Zening personally sent Imperial Physician Xu out. That night, Imperial Physician Xu hardly closed his eyes and looked exhausted.

At this time, it was already the beginning of the year, the sun was rising, and the sky was bright.

Imperial Doctor Xu first went back to the Imperial Hospital. He originally planned to take a day off, but he was called by a small servant who was waiting there. He went to the imperial study to see the emperor, and truthfully told what he saw and heard last night. Obedient.

After he finished speaking, the imperial study fell silent, silent.

After a while, the emperor's calm voice came from the front: You go down.

Imperial Physician Xu backed out, and when he reached the door curtain, he happened to hear the emperor ask, Could it be Qin Zhun?

The emperor's question was naturally not from Imperial Doctor Xu. Imperial Doctor Xu couldn't help but glanced at the purple-robed youth by the window. The purple-robed youth was drinking tea gracefully, with a well-defined profile face and warm eyebrows, like the breeze like the bright moon. , makes people feel good when they see it.

Imperial Physician Xu did not stop, and immediately exited the imperial study.

Their imperial physicians are not only in contact with the palace, but also with the dignitaries of the clan and nobles. It can be said that they have seen all kinds of shameful private affairs, such as murdering their parents, killing their mothers, abandoning their wives and children, brothers and so on. , I just can't think of it, there is nothing they can't do, that is, Qin Zhunzhen kills his mother, that's not uncommon.

After Imperial Physician Xu left, the emperor got up from behind the imperial case, walked to Gu Zezhi's side and sat down.

Zhou Xin personally served the emperor a cup of new tea and glanced at the emperor quickly.

The emperor's eyes darkened a bit, dark as ink, recalling some past events.

Qin Zhun's deceased eldest brother Qin Jue used to be the emperor's companion. The two have been close since they were young. Before the Qin family was exiled, they often ran horses, studied, and played together. friendship.

Qin Zhun was the younger brother of Qin Jue and the son of the old marquis. He really didn't want to think too badly of him, thinking about the old feelings of the old man.

In the emperor's opinion, Qin Zhun was just stupid, not vicious.

How did he get to the point where he wanted to kill his mother?

!

Gu Zezhi casually grabbed a handful of fish food from the box, his face was calm, and he said calmly, It could also be Qin Xin.

... The emperor's eyes flashed, and he looked at Gu Zezhi thoughtfully.

Although Gu Zezhi only said maybe, he has never been a person without a goal. Since he brought Qin Xin up, I am afraid that he is more inclined towards Qin Xin in his heart.

In the past ten years, the Qin family has been bumpy enough. For the emperor, he would rather believe that it was Qin Xin.

Gu Zezhi threw 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, and ripples appeared, disturbing the autumn water in the pool.

Gu Zezhi's words changed: Your Majesty, the Taipu Temple case must be finalized as soon as possible.

The emperor narrowed his eyes as he looked at the carp frantically grabbing fish food in the pond.

He understood what Gu Zezhi meant. It had only been a few days. Not only did something happen to the Qin family, but there were many people waiting for an opportunity in the court or forming a party or provoking trouble, and even more people were running around to get involved, causing the court to have trouble. Everyone up and down is panicking, and everyone is in danger.

The emperor clenched his fist tightly and ordered: Pass on my oral order, and the three divisions will try this case in three days.

If there is a three-division joint trial, then the case must be clearly investigated before the joint trial, and the trial will be clear.

The case of Taipu Temple is very involved, and Dali Temple is also frightened by the investigation. In fact, it is somewhat unsure of the scale of what to do. Therefore, it can be delayed as long as it can be delayed. Later, they determined the emperor's attitude, so they let go of their hands and feet and accelerated the trial of the case.

There is a saying that one cannot punish a scholar-officer.

Qin Zhun, who has been locked in prison these days, suffers from suffering, but he did not suffer from flesh and blood. He just killed him and refused to recognize him. He hoped that the Su family would raise enough money to redeem him. Shi, but waited for the Dali Si Qing to personally examine him.

Dali Si Qing came well prepared. Qin Zhun brought both personal and physical evidence. He explained exactly when and how much money he had embezzled. Qin Zhun took a deep breath. I thought I was doing it secretly, but I didn't want everything to be traceable.

At this point, Qin Zhun couldn't be stubborn, he could only confess all the crimes he should have confessed, and by the way he also identified Li Yuanchun, the former Shaoqing of Taipu Temple, and only hoped that he would be a witness and could be dealt with leniently.

As a result, an urgent arrest warrant was issued for three hundred miles, and Li Yuanchun, who had returned to his hometown, was also captured.

After Qin Zhun signed the confession, he was sent back to the prison. He waited anxiously until the day of the tribunal's joint trial. Convicted of embezzlement, he was sentenced to deprivation, dismissal, exile, and confiscated all his family property.

Hearing the verdict, Qin Zhun seemed to be frozen, and knelt there motionless, until two yamen came to pull him, he didn't react, and shouted: I don't accept it!

Qin Zhun's face was pale and panicked. At this moment, in addition to being shocked, he was more afraid.

He thought it was just dismissal at most. He thought it was just selling the family business to make up for the money he took away. At least he still has a title, at least some family business left.

However, he was sentenced to ransom and exile, and he had nothing left!

Qin Zhun couldn't help but think 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, the Qin family would still be supported, even if he was exiled in Minzhou Well, some of the officials over there were thinking of their old feelings and took good care of the Qin family secretly and secretly.

Once, he accidentally heard his father say to his brother that as long as he survived those few years and the prince ascended the throne, everything would be fine...

At that time, he still had hope.

But now it's different, his father and eldest brother are gone, and he is left...

I don't agree!

Qin Zhun shouted louder than ever, and the two yamen didn't care, and dragged him out of the court.

Qin Zhun became more and more frightened, and shouted heartbreakingly: Your Majesty, I want to see Your Majesty!

Our Qin family was exiled to Minzhou for the emperor's sake fifteen years ago, and my eldest brother even ended up in Minzhou for this...

Qin Zhun's voice was getting farther and farther, and he was dragged down. Only the people who were left to judge outside the court were still unsure. Some people curiously inquired about the old things Qin Zhun said fifteen years ago. For a while, rumors spread.

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 behind his back, and did not speak for a long time.

The sunlight cast a mottled shadow on his face through the sparse canopy, and a few birds fluttered past the window, making a subtle flapping sound.

Other than that, no sound.

Zhou Xin carefully looked at the emperor's face, and hesitantly proposed: Your Majesty, do you think it's better to take it lightly?

As Qin Zhun said, after all, the Qin family sacrificed a lot in order to protect the emperor's crown. After all, Qin Jue and his wife both died in Minzhou, and the emperor could not lose the reputation of killing donkeys.

The emperor raised his hand and signaled that Zhou Xin didn't need to mention it any more, and then said: Pass my will, and the title of the Marquis of Zhongyi will be taken over by the long room Qin Zening.

Zhou Xin immediately went to draw up the decree, so that afternoon, Zhou Xin took the emperor's imperial decree to the Marquis of Zhongyi Mansion. In the past few days, because Mrs. Qin Tai's condition was good and bad, the three brothers and sisters Qin Zening and Qin Di were For the time being live back.

Qin Zening recently took a leave of absence to serve Mrs. Qin Tai in the Hou residence.

As soon as the imperial decree came, everyone gathered in the main hall to listen to Zhou Xin's reading of the imperial decree.

When the word Qin this fell, Qin Sheng jumped up first and shouted in dissatisfaction, Why?

!

I have a younger brother, why should the title be inherited by the long room!

Qin Sheng said and went to pull Qin Zezhou next to him, but Qin Zezhou was already stunned. From the night when his mother Su Shi was accused of murdering his grandmother, he was worried that he might lose his title, worried that his mother would be divorced, worried... No Thinking that the situation was worse than he thought, his father was actually deprived of the title, and the title was actually transferred to the lobby brother in the long room!

Zhou Xin was the big eunuch beside the dignified emperor, so he didn't bother to explain to a yellow-haired girl like Qin Sheng. After Qin Zening accepted the order, he smiled and said to him: Qin San... Now our family should call you Hou Ye.

He smiled and cupped Qin Zening's hands, Jin Yiwei will come to Hou's house to raid his house in a while, so you don't have to worry about it.

The long house and the second house have been separated. Qin Zhun is corrupt, and all the property of the second house is confiscated this time.

Please.

Qin Zening politely faced Eunuch 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 had been deprived of his title, and he felt a little pity now, after all, this is the title left by his ancestors. .

However, it's just a little pity, the title is gone, he is still young, since Gu Zezhi can earn the title of Duke Chenjun for himself, then he can too!

Qin Zening never expected that the emperor would pass on the title of Marquis of Zhongyi to him.

Qin Sheng was about to go crazy. Seeing that his younger brother was silent, he felt that he was really useless, so he shouted, I don't accept it!

The long room, it must be the long room that deliberately slandered my father and my mother for the sake of the title!

I'm going to beat the drum, I'm going to beat the drum for my father...

Qin Sheng screamed louder and louder, describing it as madness.

Qin Di frowned, and called the steward in Qin Sheng's yard, and gave only five words: Take care of the fourth girl.

This maid in charge is Qin Sheng's grandmother, her heart is naturally towards Qin Sheng, and she is looking forward to Qin Sheng's well-being, but now that the imperial edict has been issued, the boat has been completed, and the emperor gave Qin Zening the title, which means that Qin Zening is The new owner of this Hou Mansion, Qin Zhun is about to be exiled, this Hou Mansion is Qin Sheng's only reliance.

At this time, Qin Zening was angered, and for Qin Sheng's sister and brother, there were all kinds of harm and no benefit.

Yes... Lord Hou.

The steward's maid immediately answered the order, brought a few maids, and persuaded Qin Sheng away.

Qin Zezhou also left, lost.

Ever since his grandfather passed away and his father inherited the title, his father and mother told him that he would be the future heir to the Marquis Mansion, 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 chaos. At this moment, he couldn't help complaining about his father. Obviously, the family has a noble title and a rich family business. They can live in peace and stability. Why does his father have to move Chang Yingku's money? ?

!

Well now, there is nothing left!

Qin Zening didn't care about Qin Zezhou and Qin Sheng, and sent away Zhou Xin and other angels in person.

Qin Zeyu felt a little unbelievable, pinched his thigh, and was convinced that everything was true.

Third sister, are we going to move back?

The Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyi was bestowed by the royal family. It was a mansion handed down from the ancestors. The Qin family lived in this mansion from generation to generation.

Since Qin Zening has attacked the lord, this mansion belongs to Qin Zening. It stands to reason that they will naturally move back, otherwise, it is not right.

Maybe.

Qin Di was a little reluctant to live in the house in Hulu Lane. She personally repaired and decorated the house. Although it has only been half a year since it was moved, to her, it was already her home in ancient times.

Qin Zeyu is different from Qin Di. He was born in Minzhou, but he was still young at that time and has no memory of Minzhou. He grew up in this Houfu, and here are his memories from childhood to adulthood, here is his home.

Moreover, after moving back, he will have a huge racecourse that can be used as a martial arts venue!

The more Qin Zeyu thought about it, the happier he was, but he could still see his sister's reluctance towards Huluxiang, rolled her eyes, pushed Qin Di with her elbow, and said with a smile, Third sister, if you like it, That mansion, let the big brother do the dowry for you!

Qin Di felt that the bear boy was becoming less and less old, and was just about to teach him a lesson. At this time, Qin Zening came back, not only by him, but also by a group of Jinyiwei, who was headed by the deputy commander of Jinyiwei. Ren Chenghao.

On weekdays, Jinyiwei raided their homes, and they were rampant and murderous, but today they were surprisingly peaceful, and the people in the Hou Mansion near the gate were slightly relieved.

The tree fell and the hozen scattered, as long as the Hou Mansion was still there, these servants would have a way to survive.
