Chapter 78 Concubine Qi's Nephew
Duan Qing was busy asking his wife to pull away, and asked his son: "Have you seen the faces of those people clearly, and have you discovered anything?"
Mr. Duan hurriedly said: "Although those people have their faces covered, they are careless and think that their sons are bound to die. Their words have already revealed that they are from the Shen family!"
Mrs. Duan scolded: "Bah, you don't care about your own daughter, but you blame others for talking about it! Matters in the court should be settled in the court. If you don't have the ability, you secretly extend your hands to his family, then the Shen family is just a What a fool, Master, you must take another good look at him tomorrow, my son will have no future, and your daughter will not be able to marry into a good family!"
Duan Qingzheng coughed somewhat uncomfortably, and then said to his son: "You two will tell the matter in detail, and there will be no omissions!"
The two young masters of the Duan family told the story exactly. Since they were two people, there was really no omission.
Duan Qingzheng's brows furrowed. At first he thought it was the Shen family who did it, but now it seems that it is more likely that someone else used the name of the Shen family to prevent him from having any successors.
It’s just that he thinks that apart from offending the Shen family so badly, he has never had such a huge hatred with anyone in this capital!
Mrs. Duan pulled her husband again, asking him to avenge her son. Duan Qingzheng threw her away and cursed: "Just live in peace. Although my son can't become an official, he still saved his life. Now his enemy is No one can be sure what kind of revenge is being avenged!"
The Duan family, mother and son, were a little surprised. However, the two young masters of the Duan family followed their father and were both smart. They guessed in their hearts: It turned out that the Shen family was just a scapegoat!
Shen Zhaoning rewarded his men and came to his sister's courtyard.
Shen Qiujun was waiting there holding a candle, and felt relieved when he heard that everything was going according to the previous plan.
Shen Zhaoning looked at his sister under the flickering candlelight and suddenly felt that she was a little strange. Her sister had always been innocent and kind. If she had always taken revenge on Duan Qingzheng, even though she was willing to help her teach Mr. Duan a lesson that day, today she really Just hurting innocent people. I still feel a little uncomfortable.
Sensing his brother's thoughts, Shen Qiujun smiled and said, "Am I becoming more and more vicious in my brother's eyes?"
Shen Zhaoning nodded and said: "I believe my sister has a good reason for doing this!"
Shen Qiujun looked at the candlelight and sighed: "I am a daughter of a noble family. I have always been kind to others and have never offended anyone. But I still suffered an unreasonable disaster! I don't understand. If they want to fight for power and convenience, they can just fight for theirs. With What does it have to do with me, a girl in the boudoir? Can they really benefit greatly by destroying me? Their children are innocent, so the children of my Shen family should be destroyed?"
"Since he doesn't want to do less immoral things to gain blessings for his children, I will give him a retribution in this life for God. Besides, he just can't become an official. If it weren't for the fact that my parents and brother really love me, this thing can happen to any aristocratic family. , that woman may have to die to clear her name!"
Being kind to the enemy is cruel to oneself. After hearing what his sister said, Shen Zhaoning couldn't help but feel ashamed. He quickly changed the subject and asked: "Why does my sister insist on hiding our people's faces on the one hand, and on the other hand, she has to declare her family name repeatedly?" .This is so contradictory!”
Shen Qiujun sneered and said: "They always think that they are smart and others are fools. They plot people with tricks on the left and clever tricks on the right. The more they have their own minds, they will naturally have too many ideas. In the eyes of others, they are simpler and clearer. Things are becoming more and more complicated and mysterious in their eyes! Duan Qingzheng will never believe that he is the mastermind of our Shen family."
Shen Zhaoning also thought about it and said with a smile: "You are too careful, so what if he knows, we are still afraid of him!"
"It's always good to have one less enemy!" Shen Qiujun lowered his eyes.
Shen Zhaoning said hurriedly: "You should get some rest quickly, we have to go to the palace to see Concubine Qi tomorrow!"
Shen Qiujun sent his brother off and made some calculations in his mind before going to bed peacefully.
Shen Qiujun went to the palace early in the morning to pay homage to Concubine Qi.
As expected, Concubine Qi looked a little languid. Shen Qiujun carefully observed his ex-mother-in-law. Although she had always been well-maintained and looked more than ten years younger than her actual age, due to her poor expression today, she looked older. There were a lot of people, almost fifty people.
When Shen Qiujun saw this scene, he naturally would not mention the practice of whipping skills carelessly. He only carefully talked to her and secretly inquired about it. It turned out that Concubine Qi's nephew was killed and one was injured in the great victory of the Eastern Expedition. After learning about it yesterday, I shed tears quietly, so that I still can't cheer up at this moment.
Young Master Shen Qiujun had to explain in detail. Concubine Qi held Shen Qiujun's hand and said, "It's all the fault of Qingzheng. I don't know what hatred we have against him, but we want him to be like this!"
Shen Qiujun only said shyly: "How can we women understand the affairs of the court? If he hadn't impeached the two young masters of the Qi family and sent them to the east, how could this have happened? Please don't worry, I will definitely do it after I return." Try to find a way to teach him a lesson and vent your anger for the queen."
Concubine Qi wished she could sleep with Duan Qingzheng's skin and eat his flesh, but after listening to her son's persuasion, she had to suppress her anger temporarily and hoped to retaliate in the future. Now that she heard Shen Qiujun's words, she naturally couldn't get what she wanted, but she said: "Although my nephew is unlucky, he has finally served his country loyally. It's just a pity that you, a daughter of a boudoir, are being used to make trouble by him!"
Shen Qiujun said angrily: "He won't be proud for long, I must make him look good."
At this time, I heard someone preaching outside: The emperor has arrived!
Shen Qiujun hurriedly followed Concubine Qi to pick her up.
It turned out that the emperor came with Shen's father to watch Shen Qiujun practice martial arts.
The emperor smiled and said to Shen Qiujun: "I heard that your whipping skills are very good. I'm here to open my eyes today."
Shen Qiujun said hurriedly: "It's just a small trick, I don't dare to taint the Holy Eyes."
The emperor was very interested and insisted on asking Shen Qiujun to practice it again. Shen Qiujun had no choice but to respect the holy order and wave it in the open space of Concubine Qi's palace.
The emperor couldn't help but nodded and said: "Sure enough, Menhu Nu has mastered whipping skills, and four or five ordinary men can't even get close to her!" He also sighed with emotion: "Earlier, there were many women who knew some kung fu, but now When the world is at peace, there are few women in the boudoir who know kung fu! It is rare for her to endure such hardships!"
When Father Shen saw that his daughter had been praised by the emperor, he also looked proud.
Concubine Qi then smiled and said: "Girls naturally want to be well behaved. At that time, the world was in chaos, so it was no choice but to pick up swords and guns. Now that the world is at peace, thanks to His Majesty's blessing, I can enjoy the blessings in my boudoir!" "
The emperor was praised and laughed loudly and said: "You and I have been married for many years, so there is no need for you to say these face-saving words here, so as not to make Brother Shen laugh!"
Father Shen hurriedly said, "This is not a word of respect for Concubine Qi. Who in the world doesn't admire the emperor's talent and strategy! My daughter is also too naughty. She has loved these things since she was a child, so I just let her go!"
At this time, Shen Qiujun had wiped his sweat, knelt down in front of the emperor, and sincerely thanked: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The emperor smiled and said: "You don't have to be like this! I won't mention your father's great contributions to Daqi. I just say that my relationship with your Shen family should also help you. You don't need to pay attention to the words of those old men in the court."
At this time, Father Shen also knelt down to thank the Emperor for his kindness. The Emperor hurriedly asked people to help Father Shen up. The monarch and his ministers said some polite words, and then they left Concubine Qi's palace and went to the former court together.
Since Shen Qiujun had received personal praise from the emperor, his purpose of entering the palace had been achieved. Seeing that Concubine Qi was really low on energy, he hurriedly left.
When Shen Qiujun passed by the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, he put on his curtain hat, held a silver whip and led people in.
The officials did not expect that a woman would be so bold. They were all stunned and forgot to block her for a moment. Some of them were happy to see Duan Qingzheng's joke but did not want to offend Lord Shen, so they let Shen Qiujun in smoothly.
Duan Qingzheng also guessed that the woman in front of him was Miss Shen. When he was about to reprimand her, he saw Shen Qiujun swipe the whip and said in his mouth: "This whip is to teach you a lesson on behalf of Concubine Qi. If it weren't for You, her nephew, will not be injured or killed, which is why she has been crying in tears these past few days."
Duan Qingzheng just listened to Shen Qiujun's words and did not move away for a moment. He was slapped. He was still thinking about himself and could not come to his senses.
Seeing the opportunity, Shen Qiujun whipped out another whip and said, "This whip is for meddling in your own business, which almost ruined my reputation."
Duan Qingzheng was whipped twice, and he could not help but grimace in pain. When he came to his senses, Shen Qiujun had already led people out of the Rites Yamen.
Seeing that Duan Qingzheng had been beaten to pieces, his colleagues quickly called for a sedan and asked people to take him home.
So when Shen Qiujun came out of the palace and whipped Duan Qingzheng, it was spread in the capital: The third lady of the Shen family is a good wielder of the whip. Even the emperor said that four or five men were no match for her, and Master Duan was even more attracted by her. He was whipped twice.
With the emperor's golden rule and Duan Qingzheng's scars, Jin Er's lies were self-evident.
If it was really Miss Shen San that day, she must have been holding a whip in her hand when riding the horse that day. A girl can naturally use a long whip and would not step forward to use fists and kicks. However, Jin Er only has scars from fists and kicks!
Duan Qingzheng had no time to pay attention to the rumors outside at this time. What he cared about was what Shen Qiujun said: Concubine Qi's nephew was injured or killed in the east!
This made him break out in a cold sweat!
On that day, the wise king analyzed with him that some of the descendants of the wise king's maternal ancestors must hold some military power. It was no longer easy to deploy elsewhere, but there were still some opportunities in the east.
At this time, the brothers of the Qi family were impeached by the censor for indulging in slaves and hurting others, so Duan Qingzheng took the opportunity to relegate them to the border. The marshal of the east, Jiang Heling, had a problem with the prince and had some problems with Duan Qingzheng's wife. Relatives, if he takes care of them, they will gain some merit and be promoted, and they will be of great help to the great cause of the wise king in the future.
And Duan Qingzheng also gained the trust of the prince because of his active participation in the battle with the wise king, which turned out to be a solution to both problems.
However, now that the cousin whom the wise king had high hopes for had been injured or killed, he had to worry about it.
