Return of the Swallow

In the next few days, the life of the Qin family was completely disrupted by Cao Guozhang.

Cao Guozhang ordered people to meet Qin Huaiyuan almost every day. At first, it was sarcasm and confrontation. Later, Cao Guozhang personally led people to search the so-called evidence around the Qin family. Not to mention those courtyards that have been locked up, even the old lady's Cixiao Garden has been turned upside down.

The so-called search is not a serious investigation, but a deliberate attempt to spoil the Qin family's belongings-turning out the bookshelves and cabinets, throwing them on the ground and trampling on them at will, even the Shuorenzhai where the girls live. Not to be missed, not to mention the books on the shelves and the furnishings in the Duobao Pavilion, even the winter clothes that were put away in the box and cage were turned out, and the house was full of chaos, as if it had been robbed by bandits.

The second master's official position in the Ministry of Rites was also caught by Cao Guozhang in a wrong place to play a book, alluding to him and Qin Huaiyuan's conspiracy to embezzle the money of the Mo households. pause.

Now, apart from Qin Huaiyuan, the Qin family still retains the title, but they have no mouthpiece in the court. At the court, what Cao Guozhang says is whatever, and the Qin family doesn't even have a chance to argue.

Qin Yining had a bitter summer, but because of the recent incident, he was full of anger, and he was so angry that he couldn't eat for two consecutive days.

Not to mention that Qin Yining is so young and strong, the old lady has been sick with qi for a long time, and it took a few days of medicine to get better.

Qin Huaiyuan has never suffered such a loss in his life. As a man, if he can't even leave this piece of pure land for his family, how can he still have the face to survive?

Therefore, Qin Huaiyuan, who was extremely angry, and when he had no other choice, continued to petition the emperor.

But the emperor's reply was: "Cao Guozhang is investigating the trend of the Ministry of Finance's money and the case of greed for ink at my will. Aiqing still has to focus on the overall situation and cooperate more."

Cooperate?

With more cooperation, there will be no bones left for the Qin family to be swallowed by the Cao family!

How could Qin Huaiyuan be willing to suffer this loss again?

Cao Guozhang kept harassing the Qin family, and Qin Huaiyuan's remarks continued.

When he was negotiating peace in Xihuacheng, the emperor could rush him with dozens of oral orders every day.

He is now in the imperial city of Kyoto, can't he also learn from the emperor?

Therefore, Qin Huaiyuan's petitions were sent to the palace almost twice a day.

If Cao Guozhang came to make trouble one day, he would send it three or four times.

Perhaps it was Qin Huaiyuan's sincerity that moved the emperor, and perhaps the emperor was finally unbearable. On this day, the emperor arranged for the first-ever Director Wang to come to the Qin Mansion personally to pass the decree.

On a summer afternoon, the sun was extremely scorching hot. The stone bricks on the open space in the front yard of the Qin mansion were a little hot when they knelt down.

Qin Yining knelt at the back and looked up worriedly at Qin Huaiyuan, who was kneeling at the front.

What appeared in her mind was a very similar picture to the present.

It was in the Sun's house in the Dingguo Gongfu. She and Qin Huining knelt with their mother among the daughters of the Sun's family. Seeing that the director of Wang Da, who came from the palace, sent an order to Sun Yu's brain | As soon as it hits, the picture of the red and white splashing thousands of peach blossoms will never be forgotten for a lifetime. And the tragedy of the Sun family started from that day.

The one who came to deliver the decree today is still Director Wang Da.

Their family is still like the Sun family back then, as powerless as the fish waiting to be killed on the chopping block.

Qin Yining felt the Sun beside him trembling.

She understood that such a scene also reminded her mother about the Sun family.

Qin Yining supported Mrs Sun and squeezed her hand soothingly.

Feeling the temperature on her daughter's body, Sun felt a little more at ease.

Director Wang shook the dust and said with a smile: "Marquis Anping, today our family is here to pass on the emperor's decree, and the emperor ordered our family to tell the Marquis Anping word by word, so Marquis Anping should listen carefully. already."

"Yes. Father-in-law is there." Qin Huaiyuan saluted solemnly.

Director Wang's sharp voice imitated the emperor's tone by eight points:

"I miss you in the past when you were doing errands with all your heart, and I didn't take any blame. Who would have known that you would only ask others to focus on state affairs, but when it was your turn, you would not even cooperate with the investigation? Could it be that you are really greedy for ink? The money of the household? Are you guilty now?

"...You are so derelict as an OEM, you not only betrayed my trust in you, but you also taught my only prince badly!

"In the past, the prince's prince was knowledgeable and gentle, gentle and elegant, but now he dares to shout in front of me and tell me the difference between old and young. You are really disappointed by your actions! The black..."

The Qin family all knelt on the ground and gave a big salute, their foreheads pressed against the floor tiles, and they listened to the words of Director Wang's words without falling into their ears.

There was silence in the courtyard, and these heart-killing words, like invisible sharp blades, have already broken hearts.

Qin Yining raised his head and quietly looked at Qin Huaiyuan's back. The originally tall and straight body has now collapsed, as if unable to bear the weight of the body, and finally can no longer hold on.

After a long while, Qin Huaiyuan said in a dry voice: "Thank you, Eunuch, please convey the meaning of the minister on your behalf. The family of the minister thank the emperor for his teaching."

Director Wang sighed and said, "The Marquis of Anping should not be too stubborn. If you can't do it, take a step back. Don't forget the previous example. You see what happened to the grandson of Dingguo? You are a talented person, there is no need to compete with others at this time."

Wang Da has been serving the emperor for many years, but if he says nothing else, he is very good at observing words and expressions.

The conflict between the emperor and Qin Huaiyuan, he saw that he was picked up by the Cao family but had no way. Wang Da's conscience is still intact, and he also admires Qin Huaiyuan as a person, so he will make a point.

Qin Huaiyuan was naturally grateful, and sent Director Wang out in person, as well as a first-class seal.

The female relatives supported each other and staggered to their feet.

The old lady was already in tears.

"Too much bullying, too much bullying! Isn't this bullying no one in our family! Could it be that God wants to destroy our Qin family!"

Thinking of the tragic situation of the Sun family that day, and thinking of Qin Huai's hunched back after being scolded in the distance, she felt a pain in her heart, and her tears fell.

When everyone returned to the Cixiao Garden, everyone was like an eggplant beaten by frost, some were frowning, and some were crying silently.

After Qin Huai returned with the second and third masters not long ago, the sobbing voice in the house gradually decreased.

Qin Huaiyuan didn't want to discuss the matter with someone like before, but calmly greeted the old lady, explained her a few words, and said that he was tired and wanted to take a lunch break.

The old lady naturally did not refuse, so everyone dispersed.

Qin Yining, Bingtang and Jiyun left Cixiaoyuan, and suddenly stopped walking.

"You said, in this situation, who else might be able to help my father?"
