After making up your mind, it is like seeing the sun through the clouds, calming down and feeling better, and eating and sleeping as usual.
Because Manager Zheng took the post of the British Mansion (before leaving, Chu Qi also personally visited Shuntian Mansion Yin to say hello and let Shuntian Mansion Yin take care of him), Shuntian Mansion did not dare to delay, and quickly replied to the news.
The mother and son were really fake, after the interrogation of Shuntianfu, I learned that the woman was just a prostitute, had been recruited into the army, had witnessed the heroic appearance of the British duke, and now fell to the capital, often do some things to deceive and abduct, and now seeing that the British duke is not in the house, I want to come to the door to ask for some cheapness, the woman originally planned that if Jinghe saw her, she would settle the matter, take the silver and walk, for these crimes the woman has confessed.
Jinghe's heart breathed but did not relax, this woman's words were full of loopholes, she said that she wanted to ask for some cheapness, let Jinghe send her some silver, if so, she should knock on the door quietly, instead of making a fuss at the door, Jinghe felt that there must be something strange about this matter, but she was not sure if it was An Qinghou's trick, she asked again: "What does Lord Yin plan to do with this mother and son?"
” Zheng Shu replied: "Lord Yuan said that Shuntianfu has not yet been planned, and I also ask Mrs. to show me, if it is just according to the custom, the woman frames the court officials, and she should be sentenced to hanging, but if she does not want to publicize the ugliness of the family, she can also deal with it secretly, it all depends on the meaning of Mrs. ” You must be cautious when dealing with the government outside, otherwise you don't know how to get involved with a certain interest group, Jinghe did not answer immediately.
Because this matter involves officialdom after all, Zheng Sui tentatively expressed the doubts in his heart and asked, "May I ask Madam, did you send a letter to Grandpa Guo?"
” Jinghe couldn't help but smile when she heard this, Manager Zheng could have sent a letter to Chu Qi directly without his permission, but now he came to ask what he meant first, it seems that this Zheng Rate agrees with her as the hostess, Jinghe originally didn't want Chu Qi to be distracted by trivial matters at home, but she remembered the agreement with Chu Qi, the two parties can't hide anything from each other, anyway, now that the woman has confessed, it's no big deal, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll write a letter later, and Manager Zheng will send someone to send it to Grandpa Guo." ” Zheng Shu naturally responded to the letter and did not mention it.
Jinghe sent Jinxin to find a magenta, let people help inquire about the recent movements of the Marquis of Anqing, and he was relieved to recuperate, this day he was sitting on the recliner under the eaves basking in the sun, and suddenly saw a person turn out of the door of the moon cave.
The man was wearing a half-worn dark blue round-necked robe, tall and tall, with angular facial features and wheat-colored skin, who was it not Chu Qi?
She stood up in a panic, and only took two steps forward, and Chu Qi strode over, hugged her in his arms, and carefully put her back on the chair.
He crouched down in his chair, the husband and wife staring at each other, his voice affectionate and gentle, with a hint of hoarseness, and he said, "Don't move, let me see." ” Jinghe also looked back at him, and saw that he was full of wind and frost, obviously coming back from a hurry, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
Chu Qi held her hand and said, "He'er, thank you for your hard work." ” Jinghe remembered the farce a few days ago, could it be that he came back because of that incident, he was in such a hurry, it is said that he should have been on this trip for a long time, but now it is only two months, how could he come back so early, could he have come back secretly?
Jinghe was a little anxious and asked, "Why did you come back?"
” She hadn't heard the news of Qincha's return to Beijing in advance, which only showed that they didn't come back with great fanfare.
Chu Qi smiled and took her hand and comforted: "Don't panic, don't panic, it's because we have a few official affairs to meet Your Majesty, and when I heard about that singer, I asked King Yu for my life, and I will run this trip." ” Jinghe Fang was a little relieved, and asked him again: "Is this trip going well?"
” Chu Qi knew that she cared about herself, so she had to pick up something important and interesting to her, and then stood up and said, "You first order someone to find me a dress, I'll freshen up, and go to the palace first." ” Jinghe remembered that he was going to Qianqing Palace to meet the emperor when he entered Beijing, so he hurriedly asked Bai Mei to prepare, and she also followed to talk to him.
Chu Qi washed his face with water from the copper basin, and said, "When I come out of the palace, I will go to Shuntian Mansion again and ask who is behind the scenes!"
” "Behind the scenes?"
Jinghe thought that he was in a hurry, for fear that it would affect his business trip.
Chu Qi took a towel to wipe her face, stretched out a cold finger and rubbed the tip of her nose, and said, "Of course, you have to ask clearly, and you have to kill chickens and monkeys, otherwise they will all take advantage of my no longer coming to the house to sprinkle, hum!"
It really gave them face. ” Jinghe smiled and said: "This matter doesn't seem to have anything to do with the house, I asked someone to keep an eye on the three rooms, last time because of the conscription system, King Ji was hit hard, he is now married to two new side concubines, I heard that it is much more honest." ” Chu Qi smiled disappreliably, the nature of the country is easy to change, he has worked with King Ji for a long time, King Ji is not so easy to be shaken by women's desire for power, and he will dispel his thoughts casually.
He didn't have time to say more, while changing into a dark purple official robe, he said to Jinghe: "Anyway, don't worry about this matter first, I'll do it first, and I'll come back and tell you the progress." ” Seeing that it was not early, and Jinghe was not good at keeping him anymore, he nodded and personally sent him to the second gate.
Chu Qi arrived in the palace first and reported back on the progress of the Qin Cha Xingyuan for the past month.
'Everything is difficult at the beginning', the emperor was naturally the most concerned about the initial situation, and after hearing this, he twisted his beard and said: "You have done a good job." ” Chu Qi took out the recital written by King Yu to the emperor again, the emperor took it, and after another compliment, Chu Qi left the palace and went directly to Shuntian Mansion.
After hearing the news, Yin Yuan Zeren of Shuntian Mansion personally greeted him at the door and took Chu Qi to the Houya for tea.
Chu Qi could only stay for one day when he came back, and he wanted to hurry home to accompany Jinghe, so he didn't sell it, and directly mentioned the matter of the framed prostitute.
Shuntianfu Yin hurriedly replied: "The woman insisted that it was because she had seen the fate of the grandfather of the country, and heard that the British duchess was kind and benevolent, so she thought of trying her luck, who knew that the lady was wise, and she debunked her tricks at a glance, and the woman had already confessed her guilt and only begged to spare her life." ” Chu Qi's complexion changed from gloomy at the beginning to unfathomable, Yuan Zeren knew that Chu Qi was a person who was very deep in the city, and he said tentatively: "In this way, this is not a big deal, my lord might as well give a light sentence, and the rod will be punished with thirty boards." ”
