Zhancheng South

Lord Qi Hanqi, who used to be glorious and glorious in the past, took off his official robes, knelt on the golden palace as a sinner, and straightened his spine, making those literati and scholars from poor families secretly wipe the corners of their eyes. , the style of Qingliu celebrities... the emperor was a little moved by seeing it.

It was Mr. Wang who saw through Mr. Qi at a glance, and began to persuade: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be like this. The matter has not yet been settled. Maybe something went wrong. A person like Mr. Qi has a sacred heart. If this is the case, let your majesty take a look at it." But how uncomfortable it is!"

After saying these words, it was more like eye drops, Qi Han indeed kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I am guilty of the crime, and I am sorry for your majesty."

His Majesty cleared his throat, "Qi Han, it's not that I don't believe you. You see, what Mr. Wang said is reasonable and well-founded. There is already evidence that you and the sixth prince of Beili incited merchants. As for your private possession of Jiang's remnants Checking, do you have something to say."

"Your Majesty, how can Mr. Wang's so-called collusion with the prince of Beili as a business owner be regarded as a proven fact? Just a note from the sixth prince of Beili? Let alone this font, there are countless people in Nanliang who will imitate it now." Count, if it was really done by the minister, why would he use the "silver hook body" so blatantly? But this is not enough proof!" Qi Han argued eagerly.

Wang Jingzhi smiled slightly, "Master Qi, the note is not enough to prove it, but what if the Sixth Prince of Beili personally identified you as the one who pointed out the maze for him at the wonton stall on Tian Street in the old capital?"

"Your Majesty! On the way back to the mansion every morning, I would go to the wonton stall of Mrs. Li's sister-in-law on Tianjie Street. How many people in Nanliang don't know about this? I want to ask Mr. Wang, since the sixth prince of Beili told me For Mr. Wang, I don’t know but what are the conditions? Otherwise, for no reason, why did the sixth prince tell Mr. Wang without any mention of his birth?”

"You..." His Majesty the Emperor interrupted Mr. Wang before he finished speaking. His Majesty hesitated for a moment, as if he was judging which person was more reasonable.

"There is indeed insufficient evidence that Prime Minister Qi and the Sixth Prince instigated rebellion against the merchants, and now that Bei Li has signed an alliance with us, the Sixth Prince will not be the first to tear up the agreement, but what Mr. Wang said is convincing, it is not groundless.

According to my decree, Qi Han temporarily resigned from his post as prime minister and went to Jinling to investigate whether the treason by He surnamed merchants was true, and Wang Jingzhi, the imperial historian, investigated whether there was an orphan of the former Jiang family hidden in the Hanyan Tower.

The He family once donated half of their family property as military pay, saying that he has treasonous thoughts, I really don't believe it, Mr. Wang went to Jinling to investigate the Jiang family's orphan, if it is true, please Wang Aiqing, please comfort me, so that people in the world know about me The Xiao family is tolerant. "

Qi Han thought to himself, this old emperor is really suspicious, but the case of orphans from the previous dynasty was clearly settled ten years ago, and now it is brought up again, and it is also related to the matter of the sixth prince of Beili. Who leaked his life experience, and what benefit can he get?

Although the Wang family is not a good thing, Wang Jingzhi is indeed a gentleman, he cares about the righteousness of his family and the world, and he would never collude with Bei Li, after all, it was his note that he did not intend to cause trouble.

When Qi Han and Wang Jingzhi were still packing their bags in Lin'an, those who were far away in Jinling had already received the news.

For Kazuhiko, the so-called treason by merchants and orphans from the previous dynasty were the same thing. At least the exact same case happened ten years ago, except that one main character died and another main character grew up.

The old butler looked at the young master with some distress. He knew that this time was different from ten years ago, but human life was at stake, and it was all bleeding, so what's the difference!

When Han Jin came back, he had already received the news. He looked at He Yan with a dazed expression and felt a little overwhelmed. He could only stand there, as if he wanted to get closer to comfort him, and felt that He Yan seemed to be covered with a layer of tulle at this time. Can't see through.

Seeing this, the old housekeeper quickly pulled the young master into the room and sat down. After the tea was ready, he hesitated for a while, then closed the door again, as if he wanted to have a long talk.

"Young master, don't look at the young master who is used to laughing now. He is just pretending. I don't see him much now. It's just that he is close to you on weekdays. Please comfort me a lot. !"

Han Jin nodded heavily, and then heard the old housekeeper sigh, "Young Master, he has had a hard time these years.

Back then, the wife and the master loved each other very much, but they couldn't just smash their heads to death in the mourning hall in front of the child who never knew suffering

ah!At that time, the young master was only 13 years old. Although he was not a child anymore, he had grown up in the honey pot for so many years.

In the year when the old man and his wife first left, the people in the clan saw that the big family was about to be handed over to a naive and wanton child. Who couldn't afford to be greedy?In the past, the old master's close friends saw that the young master couldn't support the lintel, and didn't see anyone come to give charcoal in a timely manner, but the young master couldn't bear it, and planned secretly. It took five years to get back the wealth and contacts of the He family little by little. .

I haven't said anything else in the past five years, but I have never seen him not smiling, but since he brought you back, the smile has only become somewhat real.This incident is a bit sad, the young master will suffer from insomnia again, please comfort him more. "

Han Jin knew that life after the death of He Yan's parents would not be easy, but what he learned from just a few words was still too pale and powerless. The young man who showed his sharpness lost his protection and was surrounded by tigers and wolves. He Yan must not want to mention the hardships involved in growing up to be a gentle and promising young master.

What Heyan is sad today is not his own suffering, the old butler probably wants to take this opportunity to vomit the pain in his heart for the young master who has gone through ups and downs, and let the young master love the young master more, spend more time with the young master, and want to come to the old housekeeper He is a sensible person, knowing that only the young master can give Heyan some relief.

In the early morning of the next day, Qi Han was getting ready to go. He was shocked to hear that the Hanyan Tower had been burned, and he fell off the carriage. He seemed to be fine, but suddenly fell ill. Heavy, mental shock, need to rest for a few days."

The doctor's order naturally reached the emperor's ears. It is understandable to be overwhelmed with worry, but the mental shock could not be because of the fire in the Hanyan Building, which is really quite distressing!

At the end of July in the tenth year of Changjian, Qi Xiang and Wang Yushi were ordered to go to Jinling to investigate the case. On the eve of departure, the No. [-] brothel in Jinling City was burned down. After the fire was extinguished, only one body was found to prove her identity. .

The Patriarch of the He family, He Yan, had acquaintance with him, and the affairs behind him were all handled by the He mansion. There were many celebrities, high-ranking officials and dignitaries who paid condolences, such as Qi Xiang, Wang Yushi...

At night in Jinling City, since Mianniang left, it seems to be a bit lonely, and the lights on both sides of the river are not as bright as usual.

At night, He Yan would always be awakened by the flames soaring into the sky in his dreams. He couldn't tell whether the flames were ten years ago or a few days ago, and he was a little dazed during the day.

But on the day of Mianniang's funeral, Han Jin took He Yan to his room at night, and didn't have anything to say, just said, "You go to bed and sleep, I will sleep on the couch."

When Kazuhiko woke up the next morning, he vaguely remembered that the dazzling red was gone in the dream, and it was just a misty white. Although he was still a little slow at this time, he was able to react. How could this happen for no reason? Was he tricked?

And Han Jin stared at him seriously, "Tell me, if you continue to dream for a few more days, will you die in the dream or will you put the death in the dream on yourself?"

He Yan smiled wryly, and then thought again, it is indeed possible that this is not impossible, maybe he was burned by the fire that was tortured by this nightmare that day, and so on...

Han Jin looked at He Yan lost in thought, and asked, "Do you think Miss Jiang's death doesn't look like suicide?"

He Yan said: "Tell me, is there anything in this world that can make people fall into the emotions of the past?"

With an expression of "you just thought of it", Han Jin managed to make He Yan laugh. Although it was only for a moment, the young master fell into a heavy mood again. He opened his mouth to say something, but he just asked; The original surname is Jiang? Forget it, even though I have been watching you for four years, I really haven’t found anything that you don’t know.”

Han Jin thought to himself, if you ask me, I will tell you, who I am, where I come from, and where I learned it.

But He Yan still didn't ask, but just said to himself: "Jiang Yi! She has carried too much. The identity of the orphan of the former dynasty has always been the throat of the Nanliang throne. I wish I could get rid of it soon, too. Due to benevolent government, the Zu Emperor did not dare to do anything blatantly. After Emperor Changjian came to the throne, he cleaned up the court without hesitation, was too suspicious, and brought many unjust, false and wrong cases."

Han Jin pondered for a while, "I heard that in the second year of Changjian, the orphans of the previous dynasty incited the people of Jinling to build up momentum with wrong intentions. The emperor was furious and ordered to kill him. The streets of Jinling City were stained with blood. Before Mr. Lin had time to intercede, he felt ashamed and set himself on fire* **, the fire spread to the old Lin's mansion. In the same year, Jinling and the head of the family were killed by bandits when they went to business. Official Qi Han worshiped the prime minister and won the holy favor. . I think there is quite a lot of inside information about it.”

He Yan nodded, "You know so much, why don't you tell me the inside story."

Han Jin said with a smile, "That's all I know, the fact that Muniang's surname is Jiang is still a half-guess."

He Yan snorted coldly in his heart, the rumors are very comprehensive, even Hanyan Tower is supported by Qi Xiang, and he knows that he serves the emperor, how did this kid know?

Han Jin said in his heart, I used to think that these are history books, everyone should learn, but now I know that my father and master teamed up to deceive me!

It's not like He Yan didn't doubt before, whether he picked up the 11-year-old Han Jin was calculated by someone, but now he thinks that the person who sent Han Jin here must have no malicious intentions, and he raised him to be like this. Looks like, and will not be a person with evil intentions.

The young master sighed, Jiang Yi really passed away this time, but he still couldn't get rid of this fate after living for so many years, what should be paid attention to now is what his prince cousin wants to do.

"Does Xia Mengyu know about these old things? If he knows, then the time he went to Miss Jiang in Hanyan Tower..." Han Jin said seriously.

"Qi Han is not stupid. He can think of everything we can think of. I'm afraid Xia Mengyu's true face will be exposed."

But Xia Mengyu is not a fool. To him at this time, the Hefu is not just for his cousin to take care of him. The cousin can pretend to be stupid and pretend to be stupefied. His every move must not only be watched by the people of Hefu , The people Qi Xiang brought were called guards, but they were actually monitoring. However, he didn't plan to do anything now, and everything he had to do had already been done.

When he went to Nanliang, he thought that Qi Que of this great country was really wise and close to a monster, but it was really unexpected!Who would have thought that a good fight between you and me would be an internal conflict, but someone would get involved and stir up a life-and-death situation, and the girl's death broke the situation.

Presumably that lonely girl still has a place in Qi Xiang's heart, I don't know how much weight it holds, although the girl didn't die at his hands, but he guesses others will blame him for this fate!

After Jiang Yi's death, the Hanyan Building was burned down, and the matter of hiding the evils of the previous dynasty was settled. His Majesty the Emperor heard that the former Huakui lady of the Hanyan Building had a deep relationship with Qi Xiang, so he was very merciful.

Qi Xiang was still the master under him alone, as if nothing had happened.

At the beginning of September, the heat in Lin'an City was still unabated, and an old friend from far away brought the deceased's handwriting:

Qi Han, seeing a letter is like a face.

Thinking about it, I am no longer alive at this time. Jiang Yi is a descendant of the Jiang family in the previous dynasty. He deserves to die since the city was destroyed. It is a blessing to live for more than [-] years. Please let all of you down.

Nine years ago, several lives were due to Jiang Yi alone. Although Qi Xiang saved Jiang Yi's life, in the past ten years, waking up in the middle of the night was very uncomfortable. Now, it can be regarded as karma.

Jiang Yi has been taken care of by Qi Xiang since he was a child, and he was able to settle down, but Qi Xiang was trapped in the idea of ​​restoring the country. He was really uneasy.

In addition, you are like a brother like a father to me. I think my elder brother is approaching his age. Although he is busy with affairs, he should consider his life-long affairs. Jiang Yi was lucky to meet Qi Han in this life. scene, but enough

"The situation of not being free for more than ten years..." Qi Xiang whispered softly, but couldn't help but think back to the past. Although the orphans of the previous dynasty were trapped in Jinling, but a milk baby, the emperor was not afraid that she would make trouble, but This identity is always still there, and there are always those Jiang Guo's former ministries who want her to take on the responsibility of Jiang Guo's royal family in the name of restoring the country. Heh, Qi Han, who was brilliant in his youth, became a word seller in the old alley of the imperial capital. Tao Wu Lue has to be used in reverse, just because of a royal blood who has lost the country.

His literary and martial arts skills have been silent in the old alley for three years. He hates Jiang Yi a little, even though he really treats Jiang Yi as a close relative. It is not the great cause of the restoration of the country that he conferred the title of Marquis and Prime Minister. I just wanted to stir up a cloud of muddy water in the world, but how could such a smart Jiang Yi not see it.

"No, no." When Qi Xiang's thoughts flew up, he seemed to be dragged by something, "This letter is not her truth, it is not her truth..." What a proud person Jiang Yi is, even if she bears Feeling guilty, bearing a blood debt, and accustomed to whitewashing the peace.

What was said in the letter may be true or false, but her life is definitely not something she would easily throw away. I'm afraid there is something else wrong with it. This letter was handed over to Nanny Qin by herself, and there is no falsehood. Is it really from her heart?

When Qi Han asked about Jiang Yike's abnormality on the eve of the fire, Mother Qin hesitated and said, "I don't dare to say what is abnormal, it's just that the girl was haunted by nightmares for more than a month before her death, and she looked sad. Xiangye also saw him last time, his expression was in a daze, and he asked the doctor to look at it, and he said that he was overthinking and lack of sleep."

For a moment, Qi Xiang wondered if his own judgment was wrong. He was conceited and had a strategy in mind, but he couldn't tell. What if Jiang Yizhen committed suicide?But he always felt that everyone worked hard for Jiang Yi just to keep her alive, so how could she want to die so easily?

It is not ruled out that Qi Xiang may never have really understood Jiang Yi.

He doesn't know what kind of person Jiang Yi is, but he resists her identity, forcing himself to become a villain who is struggling like this now. He doesn't think about the safety of his family and country, but just wants to vent his anger, but he doesn't want to Now that he is a villain, he used to have the ambition to stabilize the country.

The talent and ambition of this body should also be used in the right place. The wind and rain in Lin'an did not move at all, but the wind quietly changed its direction.
