Chapter 80 Centrifugal Virtue
The sixth prince was so disgusted that he took a step back. At this time, the young chamberlain stepped forward and declared: After the reputation of Jin Yuanwailang was wiped out, the Jin family was confiscated, and the whole family returned home immediately!
Although they lost their fame and wealth, they finally saved their lives. Everyone in the Jin family trembled and lay on the ground to thank them.
But the Jin family's bad luck did not end there.
When they returned home, they encountered a group of robbers in a sparsely populated area. Since they had no money to rob, they had no choice but to kill to vent their anger.
The other members of the Jin family were fine, but the Jin family's husband and wife had their ears and tongue cut off, and Jin Er in the coffin was not only mutilated beyond recognition, but his body was also chopped into several pieces and thrown into pieces in the wild. of.
Some people say that it is because the Jin family's son oppressed the common people and finally received evil retribution;
Some people also said that his family had offended the Shen Mansion, and the Shen Mansion would naturally not let their family go in vain.
Others said that the sixth prince ordered him to do this because he was disgusted by Jin Er and had a dirty mind towards him.
Some people even said that it was because the Jin family leaked that they were insisting that Miss Shen's family was under the instruction of the prince, so they offended the prince and were killed by his men.
In the end, no results were found and the matter became an unsolved case.
After the wise king learned about it, he couldn't help but sigh to his wife: "Your sister is really scary! It was understandable to do that back then, but now that Jin Er is dead, even if he can't understand his hatred, he can order someone to kill the Jin couple. Why bother mutilating their bodies! Is this the only way to vent your anger?"
Shen Lijun just stroked her belly secretly and was speechless. She also didn't understand how such an innocent sister could do such a thing several times.
Yang Yuan and Zhou Shaoze endured their nausea and went to return to the Sixth Prince.
They were all swordsmen, and they could kill people with just one strike without batting an eyelid, but having them slice and dice the body was really unbearable for them.
But the Sixth Prince insisted on this. In the end, even Uncle Yu came out to persuade them to do as the Sixth Prince said. At the end, he whispered: "If they only offend me, that's all. Who told them to offend Miss Shen San?" Woolen cloth!"
Yang Yuan and Zhou Shaoze had no choice but to do as they were told. Naturally, they would inevitably have nightmares for a few nights.
Of course, that's all for later. Now I'm just talking about what's happening right now. Duan Qingzheng is lying on the bed, listening to the news from his family. Although he is calm on the surface, he is getting more and more unsure in his heart.
Although Concubine Qi declared Shen Qiujun's palace because of the holy decree, according to common sense, she should not go to Shen Qiujun too much because of her illness.
But the news I got from the inquiry was that Concubine Qi not only had a pleasant conversation with Shen Qiujun, but also invited the emperor to watch Shen Qiujun's whip dance, which was praised by the emperor.
The heartbreaking pain in his body made Duan Qingzheng think again: Concubine Qi must have complained about herself in front of Shen Qiujun, and that's why Shen Qiujun taught her a lesson for her.
Is it really bad for the Qi brothers to be in the east?
Perhaps God was also helping Shen Qiujun. At this time, Jiang Heling also sent someone to deliver a letter to Duan Qingzheng.
Duan Qingzheng hurriedly opened the letter. After reading it, he felt discouraged. He lay straight on the bed and looked at the sky.
Seeing Duan Qingzheng like this, the people waiting next to him were startled. Just when they were about to step forward, Duan Qingzheng waved his hands to tell them to step back, and he wanted to have some peace and quiet.
Everyone retreated after hearing this. He took the letter in his hand and read it again: It was fine that the second son of the Qi family injured an arm in the battle, but the eldest son was hit by a stray arrow and died!
Others can go there and gain military glory without any harm. How come the fate of the Qi brothers has declined like this, but they have to make themselves the scapegoat!
Although it was King Xian who asked his brothers to go east that day, he was the one who really did it. King Xian may have understood the truth and not blame himself, but now it seems that Concubine Qi has annoyed herself, otherwise she would not have missed the chance. For no reason, he changed his mind to help Shen Qiujun.
Duan Qing was thinking about it in his mind, and then ordered someone to help him to his son's room and handed the letter to his son.
Young Master Duan was shocked when he read the letter, and said repeatedly: "Of the younger generation of the Qi family, these two are the only ones who have some potential, but now they have all been lost. This debt is only for the Qi family and Concubine Qi." Your Majesty will be blamed on your father."
Duan Qingzheng felt heartbroken when he saw that his son was so smart, but unfortunately he would never be able to achieve great things in the future due to his physical disability.
The second son of the Duan family added: "I don't know when the Qi family learned about this news. It would be fine if it was today. If they knew about them before today..."
Duan Qingzheng sighed: "Your guess is not bad, I'm afraid they already knew about it two or three days ago!"
The eldest son of the Duan family couldn't help but laugh sadly: "I see! Because my father is still useful, they didn't touch you, but they used the name of the Shen family to destroy my two brothers. What a good plan!"
The Second Young Master Duan said: "Perhaps it was just the idea of Concubine Qi and the Qi family. I think the wise king is a good man. This is not something that can be done by human beings. It was originally planned well, but if something goes wrong in the middle, we can't just blame it all." Moreover, even though one of us has lost one person, as long as the second son of the Qi family is greatly credited and becomes a general, it can be regarded as achieving his goal. The wise king is doing great things, how can he give up what he is about to get for this reason? Where’s the power!”
Mr. Duan shook his head and said: "You are too naive! Even if we are in this situation without the tacit approval of the wise king, it is really the hands of Concubine Qi and the Qi family. One is passionate about his son, and the other is a woman. Short-sightedness lasts forever, who can guarantee that the wise king will not waver, but after seeing this, the wise king did not inform his father immediately, which shows that he still has a grudge."
The Second Young Master Duan sighed: "I don't talk about the merits of following the dragon, which brings wealth and honor to the world. I just say that the prince is mediocre and the wise king should be a wise king. My father has come here now, can he still turn back?"
The eldest son Duan sneered and said: "You and I are like this, how can we enjoy the wealth and wealth! I'm afraid that when the wise king achieves great things, the Empress Dowager Qi's family will be a slave to the sword and the Duan family will be a fish and meat!"
Second Young Master Duan was so robbed by his brother that he could only look at his father and said, "What are your father's plans? Are you going to join the prince again?"
After listening to the debate between his two sons, Duan Qingzheng had an idea in his mind and said: "The Qi family is so cruel and ruthless that they have ruined you two. How can a father endure such anger? You are not allowed to enter the court. He Qi family Don't even think about it! The Qi family already hates me, so how can we let the wise king take the throne? At that time, we might not even know how we died. Fortunately, the prince only knew that I was his, and he was trying to make peace with both sides. It depends on the situation."
Duan Qingzheng returned to his room. He first wrote a letter about what happened to his family in the past few days and told it to Jiang Heling. After thinking about it, he vaguely hinted to him in the letter that it would be better to divert the trouble to the east instead of letting the Qi family just stare at it. His two families came to hate him.
After everything was settled, Duan Qingzheng sealed the envelope and handed it to the visitor, and told him: This matter is of great importance and must be delivered to Marshal Chiang as soon as possible.
At this time, the Sixth Prince had already returned to the palace to pay his errands, and said to the Emperor: "This time, it is because of me that the people in the Shen Mansion have been wronged. I want to come here to apologize! This matter can be considered settled. Then go to the imperial mausoleum and pray with all your heart!"
The emperor sneered: "It's okay to go to Shen's Mansion, but don't go to the imperial mausoleum anymore. Zongzheng Temple reported: You were just perfunctory in the imperial mausoleum. You didn't feel sad or concentrate on chanting sutras. Since your heart is not there, why bother?" You are pretending to be a filial son and a virtuous grandson!"
The Sixth Prince bowed his head and knelt there silently. He really had no impression of his grandfather who was praised by everyone for his great achievements, and he couldn't bear to show off, so he just wandered around in a muddleheaded way every day. Occasionally, he also thought in his mind whether he would come to the imperial mausoleum again. Designed by someone else.
The sixth prince was rushed by the emperor to pay his respects to his nominal mother, Concubine Qi.
On the way, I met the prince who was waiting there specially.
Naturally, the prince would not let the God of Wealth go. He stepped forward and said with a smile, "You, the imperial mausoleum, have suffered a lot in the past few days. You seem to have lost a lot of weight!"
The sixth prince also wanted to make friends with the prince, and said hurriedly: "It is necessary to be filial to our ancestors, but I heard that regarding the Jin family this time, my eldest brother had a quarrel with the wise king because of me!"
The prince clapped his hands and said angrily: "We are brothers, so naturally we want to face you. Who would have thought that he would push you out for the sake of his sister-in-law? It's the elder brother who is helpless and didn't stop him in the end!"
The sixth prince hurriedly smiled and said: "My younger brother understands the eldest brother's wishes. However, in the future, the eldest brother must be extra tolerant towards the Shen family. My father still remembers the life-saving grace of Marquis Shen back then!"
When the prince saw that what the sixth prince said was consistent with what Xu Jie had advised him before, the prince felt a little uncomfortable and hurriedly said: "Come and sit with me when you are free, and we brothers can talk!"
Seeing that the sixth prince agreed, the prince said mysteriously: "Are you going to greet Concubine Qi? You have to be careful today. Her two nephews are in the east. Don't get into trouble with her and say something else. You are being unfilial."
The Sixth Prince hurriedly said: "Thank you for reminding me, brother! If this is really the case, I'm afraid I'll have to borrow someone from my brother to show my filial piety!"
The prince understood that the sixth prince must have been scolded by the emperor for being unfilial because of his impiety in the imperial mausoleum. At this time, he wanted to use Duan Qingzheng to vent his anger on Concubine Qi. He was already a ruthless and unrighteous man, so he said nonchalantly: "We brothers still need to Isn't it so natural? As long as you don't break him."
The Sixth Prince thanked him and the two of them left.
When Concubine Qi saw the Sixth Prince coming to greet him, she smiled and took his hand, asking questions, looking like a loving mother.
The sixth prince just looked calm and his face didn't change much. After saying a few words, he excused himself to rush to Shen's Mansion and said goodbye.
Concubine Qi couldn't help but gritted her teeth and said: "Why is this man so cold-hearted? How long will it take to warm his heart? Since Concubine Rong's heart is with Chen Jingfeng, even if my son arrives in time, there is nothing that can stop her."
The maid next to her hurriedly smiled and persuaded: "His Highness the Sixth Highness has received so much care from the Empress and the Prince. If he is ungrateful, his heart is really made of weights. As the saying goes, a drop of water will penetrate a stone. One day, he will be influenced by the Empress."
