The Cannon Fodder and Villain’s Happy Ending

After weighing the pros and cons, Qin Zhun finally said vaguely: "Master Hu, Qin Xin is indeed not a girl from the Qin family, but she has a relationship with Jiannei, so Jiannei recognizes her in her name."

Hu Mingke glanced at Li Jinzhu, who was kneeling on the ground, and continued to press Qin Zhun: "Master Hou, now the Li family is suing you for kidnapping their girl, does Master Hou recognize it?"

Li Jinzhu wanted to say that he did not sue, but when Hu Mingke glanced at him from the top, he shuddered, and only felt that his buttocks and back hurt badly.

He was afraid of being beaten, and didn't dare to speak. The official said what he said was what he was.

Qin Zhun said angrily, "Nonsense!"

At this moment, Qin Zhun almost wanted to distance himself from Qin Xin, but he was still sensible. He just saw with his own eyes how much Gu Jing favored Qin Xin. For Qin Xin's sake, Gu Jing even sacrificed his dignity to marry Qin Xin. Xu Dayong was circling.

At this point, her family is already tied to Gu Jing, so Qin Xin can only be a girl from the Qin family.

"It's adoption! Adoption."

Qin Zhun bit and said, "Because Jiannei saw Qin Xin like an old friend, he adopted her from the Li family."

Qin Xin looked pleadingly at Li Jinzhu not far away.

After today, she has become a laughing stock in Beijing. If she wasn't Qin Xin, then Gu Jing's concubine document would not count.

Li Jinzhu: "..."

Li Jinzhu was disappointed with this daughter in his heart, but it was his daughter after all. Besides, he couldn't say that he exchanged his daughter with the real Qin family girl.

In the eyes of everyone, Li Jinzhu nodded: "That's right, it was Caomin and her mother who 'adopted' her daughter to the Qin family."

Hu Mingke stared at Qin Zhun for a moment, thinking of the emperor's decree, and then said: "Since the two families believe that it is adoptive, and there are rules for adoptive succession, then an adoptive document must be established."

Qin Xin's pupils shrank slightly, and tightly closed the cloak that was draped over her body.

She was originally recorded under the names of Qin Zhun and the Su clan. Outsiders thought that she had the blood of the Qin family in her body. Even though Qin Di was talking nonsense in front of those noble ladies in Shenghua Pavilion last time, she could bite the bullet. She didn't recognize her, to the outside world, she was still a girl from the Qin family.

However, after today, everyone will know that she is just the adopted daughter recognized by the Qin family... Her biological parents are murderers who carry their lives on their backs.

Moreover, she also engaged a fool...

Qin Zhun couldn't wait to answer: "Master Hu is right, it's time to make an adoptive document."

For Qin Zhun, making an adoptive document is just a trivial matter, he just wants to finish this matter and leave here quickly.

The master prepared the adoption documents as quickly as possible, and handed them over to Qin Zhun and Li Jinzhu to sign and stamp them, in triplicate, one of which was kept in Jingzhao House for the record.

The matter was finally settled, Qin Zhun and Gu Jing both breathed a sigh of relief.

Only Qin Xin had a complicated complexion, and her eyes were bright and dark.

She thought that she had turned from a dignified concubine to a lowly concubine, but she had fallen to the dust, but she didn't want fate to mock her, and slapped her in the face again, as if there was a The invisible hand kept pulling her deep into the quagmire...

Qin Xin felt cold all over and looked panicked.

"Hu Mingke, can I take the 'people' away now?"

Gu Jing impatiently asked Hu Mingke who was in front of him.

Hu Mingke cupped his hands with a smile and said, "Your Highness, please."

"Walk."

Gu Jing threw his sleeves away without hesitation, but Qin Xin couldn't be as decisive as him, and couldn't help but look at Li Jinzhu, who was kneeling on the ground.

The parents are still carrying the life of the flower woman, and then...

Gu Jing looked at Qin Xin with a cold slanted eye, Qin Xin pursed her lips slightly, still did not dare to say anything, silently bowed her head and followed Gu Jing out of the court in Jingzhao Mansion.

When she walked out of the court, she also heard the questioning voice of Jing Zhaoyin Hu Mingke from the rear: "Li Jinzhu, you murdered and fled, do you want to recruit or not?

! "

Outside the court, there were people on the third floor and the third floor. Some of these people continued to watch Jing Zhaoyin try the murder case with great interest, some were still discussing the case just now, and some were facing Gu Jing and his wife. Qin Xin pointed and pointed, until the carriage was gone, and then she retracted her gaze.

Qin Xin and Gu Jing left, Qin Zeyu left two more cups of tea, and returned to Qin Mansion.

The first thing after returning to the mansion, Qin Zeyu went to see Qin Di, and told her sister what happened outside the second prince's mansion and the court, including the result of Jingzhao Yin's trial: "...Li Jinzhu does not recognize it. Murder, it is said that Zhao Aman killed him, and in the end Master Hu put him in jail for trial."

Qin Di turned over the book and drank the sherbet, with the appearance that the left ear went in and the right ear came out. Du Ruo made new sherbet by himself, and then ordered the little maid to fan Qin Di.

Qin Zeyu was almost jealous, and his sister was too laid back, too good at living.

"Sister, you're not worried at all, are you?"

Qin Zeyu couldn't help but ask.

Qin Di perfunctory raised his hand over the small square between the two and touched Qin Zeyu's head, "There is Ayu."

Qin Zeyu was refreshed as if he had been fed some panacea, and felt that his sister was murdering him, but in fact, his younger brother also had high hopes.

Qin Zeyu straightened his back and suddenly had a sense of mission.

Yes, the eldest brother is not here, he is the only male in this house.

Qin Di continued to drink her sherbet, the corners of his lips curved.

This kid is so easy to coax, she can coax even golden thighs, coaxing this kid is simply a matter of hand.

Qin Zeyu patted his chest and said, "Sister, don't worry, there is me.

Whoever dares to bully you, I will beat him! "

He swung his fist firmly, feeling that he beat that Xu Jinpeng less than he had beaten before, and should have kicked more.

Qin Di laughed out loud, and the bear boy felt that he was being teased, and rolled up his sleeves in dissatisfaction and said, "Sister, don't underestimate me, I have learned kung fu from Master Yue for half a year, which is very beneficial, don't believe me Show you a set of punches!"

Qin Di was afraid that he would really pull himself to the martial arts field in such a hot day, so he quickly said, "Trust Xin Xin."

She hurriedly gave Du Ruo a wink and gave him a cup of sherbet.

Qin Zeyu took two sips of sherbet and suddenly said, "Sister, I was wrong."

Some things, he didn't see with his own eyes, he would never know how stupid he was back then.

Last year, when he learned that Qin Xin was not his sister, he only felt that Qin Xin was pitiful and innocent, thought Qin Di was an outsider, and never put himself in Qin Di's shoes.

His sister was supposed to be the noble daughter of the Hou's mansion. She should have grown up in the Hou's mansion and under the care of her family, not in a rural place, where she was abused, abused, and almost died. Married to a fool.

He couldn't believe it, if Qin Di hadn't escaped, if his sister had really been married to that fool, what kind of life would she be like now.

The Li family stole ten years of his sister's time, Qin Xin, Qin, chess, calligraphy, painting and calligraphy, all of which were incomprehensible, and almost became a prince concubine. All of this should have belonged to his sister... Although Qin Zeyu felt that the second prince was really not very good, he didn't know much about it. Not worthy of his sister.

Fortunately, his sister was lucky and met a third brother Gu whose eyes were blinded.

Well, he has to treat third brother Gu a little better in the future.

Qin Zeyu said to himself silently in his heart.

Qin Di looked at Qin Zeyu with a question mark on his face, and after being stunned for a while, he wanted to understand what he was talking about.

She pursed her lips and smiled, touched his head again, and messed up his hair maliciously.

Qin Zeyu, this bear child, has a good nature, but he was deliberately raised to be crooked since he was a child.

With her watching in the future, he won't repeat the mistakes in the novel.

Qin Zeyu was slapped three times by his sister in just half a day, and couldn't help protesting: "Sister, I'm thirteen, don't treat me as a child, okay?"

Qin Di responded perfunctorily and asked Du Ruo to add sherbet to her and Qin Zeyu.

Qin Zeyu is still talking: "Next time if there is anything else, I will support you and I will not let you suffer."

Qin Di smiled and applauded Qin Zeyu, "Our Yu has grown up."

Of course she doesn't suffer, the one who suffers is Qin Xin.

Qin Zening had already entrusted the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses to keep an eye on the Li family. In April, shortly after Li Jinzhu and Zhao Aman entered the capital, the Wucheng Soldiers and Horsemen found out and dutifully stared at them for a while. , and then saw Qin Xin enter the inn to meet the couple.

Pei Qi was also curious, so he followed up. The small inn had thin walls and poor sound insulation. The three members of the Li family thought they were secretive, but they didn't know that Pei Qi could hear their conversation.

Pei Qi told Qin Zening truthfully, Qin Zening was furious and wanted to arrest the person immediately, but Qin Di felt that the "marriage contract" between the original owner and the Xu family was always a hidden danger. pull it out...

Qin Zeyu drank the sherbet, and suddenly said again: "Sister, I saw Jing Zhaoyin's appearance today, it seems that I got the emperor's order in advance."

Qin Di smiled, and couldn't help rubbing Qin Zeyu's head again, "Aiya, our Ayu is getting smarter and smarter!"

Qin Zeyu: "..."

Should he be happy that his sister praised him, or should he be angry that his sister was turning a corner and saying that he was stupid before!

Jing Zhaoyin had indeed received the emperor's oral order, and after finishing the trial, he deliberately entered the palace to return his orders to the emperor.

Hu Mingke didn't know what happened before the Second Prince's Mansion, so he only reported the process and results of his trial: "...Zhongyi Hou and Li Jinzhu agreed to adopt Qin Xin to the Qin family and recognize him as their adopted daughter."

The emperor's oral instruction was to let Qin Xin return to the throne, but if Qin Zhun was obsessed with it, forget it.

Just now in court, Hu Mingke saw Qin Zhun being stupid and really didn't know what to say.

Outside the window, tree shadows swayed in the wind, casting mottled light and shadow on the emperor's face.

The emperor slowly turned the jade wrench on his right thumb, and his eyes became deeper and darker against the mottled light and shadow.

This was the last chance he gave Qin Zhun.

He thought of the kindness of the old marquis and didn't want to take action against Qin Zhun, so he gave him this opportunity.

If Qin Zhun was more secure, he would cut off the "in-law relationship" with Gu Jing. He could ensure that Qin Zhun would be a wealthy and idle person, and he could spend the rest of his life peacefully and peacefully. Dragon Power.

The emperor sighed in a low voice: "Old Marquis is such an amazing and talented person, my brother-in-law also has the style of being a father, and he has the world in mind. How can Qin Zhun's eyes be so narrow..."

Hu Mingke lowered his head and didn't answer, but he also sighed in his heart: Yes, the deceased old marquis was a grand master, learned and wise, but he raised such a stupid son.

Zhou Xin followed the emperor's words and said, "Your Majesty, the Qin family still has the eldest son of Qin and the fifth son of Qin in the long house, and the old marquis is not considered to have no successor."

The emperor smiled happily, and he couldn't help remembering that the last time Empress Wei had whispered to him, Qin Zening was too rambunctious, Qin Zeyu was lacking in heart, and he was not as clever and clever as Qin Di.

The emperor smiled, and Hu Mingke breathed a sigh of relief.

He continued to report: "The two families have signed the adoption documents, and His Royal Highness the Second Prince has brought Qin Xin back."

The emperor asked indifferently, "What about the Xu family?"

Hu Mingke hurriedly replied, "The three members of the Xu family have already left."

The Xu family was not at fault in these two cases, so Hu Mingke decided to let them go.

The emperor nodded, waved his right hand, and dismissed Hu Mingke.

"My minister retire."

Hu Mingke bowed and saluted, completely relieved.

Although he offended the second prince today, the emperor is obviously quite satisfied, that's enough.

He has been in the position of Jingzhaoyin for almost three years, and maybe this time he has the opportunity to rise one liter.

Hu Mingke suppressed his excitement and withdrew from the imperial study.

As soon as he left the front foot, the queen of the rear foot guard came out of the biscuit closet, her eyebrows stretched, her expression complicated, and more of a relief.

Queen Wei walked slowly to the emperor and sat down.

The emperor smiled and said, "Now you can rest assured."

"With the emperor here, there is nothing to worry about."

Queen Wei smiled gently.

She was really relieved.

At noon today, after learning that the Xu family had gone to the Qin Mansion to make trouble, Empress Wei hurriedly came to the imperial study to ask the emperor for help, and wanted the emperor to arrest people, but was stopped by the emperor instead.

The emperor told her:

"Rongrong, this is an opportunity, an opportunity to make Xiaoji's name right."

"Although Xiaoji has been found, her experience in the past fourteen years cannot be said to anyone..."

At that moment, Queen Wei immediately understood.

Ever since Qin Di returned to Beijing last year, in order to prevent her from becoming a talking point for others, Empress Wei has always avoided talking about Qin Di's past in Jiangyu County.

The problem is, for Qin Di, what happened in the past may be gradually forgotten over time, but what happened is what happened, and it cannot be erased. Jiangyu County is a hidden danger that will erupt at any time.

It's like this time, a Xu family who has "booked a marriage" suddenly appeared. Who knows if people from Jiangyu County will appear again in the future, saying things that shouldn't be said, and ruining Qin Di's reputation. .

If you want to avoid future troubles, you must start from the root.

The emperor took Empress Wei's fair-skinned hand, patted it with a smile, and said, "This time we have changed Xiaoji's name, what happens to Jiangyu County or the Li family in the future, the daughter of the Li family, Li Erya, is Qin Xin, No one will think of Xiaoji anymore.

This thing is over a hundred. "

That's right! Empress Wei thought about it and nodded slightly, thinking that the emperor did a really good job.

This child Xiaoji has suffered too much. It is not easy to maintain this innocent heart after suffering so much.

Empress Wei only hoped that after this incident, the child would be able to go smoothly in the future.

At this time, Zhou Xin personally came over and served tea to Queen Wei.

Empress Wei picked up the tea cup, but before she brought it to her lips, she thought of something, and she blurted out, "Your Majesty, didn't you know that the Xu family would come to the capital to make trouble?"

"how could be."

The emperor quickly denied it, his face was calm, but he said in his heart: Yes, because he knew it earlier, so he couldn't tell her.

In fact, it wasn't too early for the emperor to know about it. It was Gu Zezhi who specially entrusted the emperor before he left for Minzhou. It was also Gu Zezhi's suggestion to use this incident to rectify Qin Di's name.

The emperor thought it was reasonable, and also felt that Qin Di and Qin Xin should belong to each other, so they agreed to let Gu Zezhi go.

But how could the emperor tell the queen about this kind of thing, wouldn't it make her worry?

The emperor looked at Empress Wei tenderly, a smile spread from the corners of his lips, and he said in his heart: It is estimated that even that girl Xiaoji didn't know that Zezhi entrusted her, Zezhi really cares about Xiaoji.

This marriage of my own is really right!

The emperor felt that he still had the qualifications of the old man of the month, and coaxed the Queen Wei with a smile on his mouth: "I just got the report today, and I know that the five city soldiers and horses have won Li Jinzhu, and I think it is a good time, so I just follow the trend and put The Li family and the Xu family solved it together."

The emperor said so, and Queen Wei believed it, without the slightest suspicion.

It should be said that she never thought that the emperor would lie to her.

Queen Wei took two sips of tea slowly, sorted out the matter in her heart, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Your Majesty, what about the Xu family, do you really let them go like this?"

Li Jinzhu and Zhao Aman committed murder, although one escaped, but since they were in the capital, they would definitely be caught, so Empress Wei put it aside for the time being.

In her opinion, the Xu family is not an innocent person. The engagement can be regarded as the fact that they paid their son to marry a daughter-in-law, which is not a crime, but this time, why would they be coaxed casually and come to Beijing to harm them? Xiao Ji, obviously malicious.

The emperor drew a knowing smile and said, "I could have set the Xu family a blackmail."

It's just that Gu Jing is too stupid, what the Xu family wants, Gu Jing will give.

When Empress Wei heard this, she was still a little unhappy, as if she had been fed a mouthful of sour rice.

Seeing that Empress Wei was unhappy, the emperor coaxed her and said, "Rongrong, I will order the local officials to investigate the Xu family."

Like the Xu family's behavior, they must have committed some crimes in the local area.

Empress Wei was refreshed and went to make a cup of tea for the emperor herself.

The couple talked and laughed, just like the most common couple in the folk, the atmosphere was warm and happy.

Zhou Xin was very smart, and quietly exited the imperial study.

Although the emperor said so, but within half a month, he got a report that the three Xu family were killed by bandits in Jinzhou.

At the beginning of this year, due to the disaster in Huizhou, some refugees went to Jinzhou when they took refuge in the north, and Jinzhou was often haunted by bandits. Those bandits absorbed some of the refugees, and the team grew stronger day by day. Several bandits now occupy the mountains as kings. A small force was formed in the local area.

Because the emperor ordered the prefect of Jinzhou to investigate the matter of the Xu family, the local government became concerned. As soon as something happened to the Xu family, the prefect of Jinzhou immediately reported the matter to Zhezi.

It is said that the three members of the Xu family encountered bandits near Daqing Mountain in Jinzhou. Not only were their belongings robbed, but everyone was killed, leaving no survivors.

On the same day, the emperor issued a decree to suppress the bandits in the morning, and immediately attracted one after another objection:

"Your Majesty, this minister thinks it's inappropriate."

"The bandit rebellion in Minzhou has not yet been quelled, the treasury is empty, and the finances are overwhelmed."

"Master Li is right.

This year, because of the flood in Huizhou, not only did the tax revenue decrease, but the imperial court also allocated money to help the disaster..."

The courtiers stood up one by one, with impassioned expressions and loud voices.

Previously, when the emperor issued the decree to pacify Minzhou, he did not inform the court in advance. Many courtiers were actually somewhat frustrated. Now when they talk about the matter of Minzhou, they actually feel that the emperor was too impatient at the beginning. After all, the treasury Just some silver.

Of course, the emperor knew that the treasury had no money, and since the day he ascended the throne, Daqi's treasury had not been rich.

Although the late emperor was not wise and talented when he was young, he was considered conscientious and conscientious, but in his later years, he was sluggish and extravagant. At that time, there were constant wars and disasters in Daqi, but the late emperor turned a blind eye and emptied the treasury, just to build a palace garden for his enjoyment.

Ten years ago, when the emperor ascended the throne, he was left with a big Qi full of holes.

Over the years, this cave has never been filled.

Therefore, when Gu Zezhi proposed to pacify Minzhou, the emperor agreed, knowing that the treasury was tight.

Once Minzhou is pacified, in the long run, maritime trade can be developed, which can bring a lot of money to the national treasury; in recent years, the sea bandits in Minzhou have robbed a lot of wealth, while suppressing the bandits, The imperial court can also nationalize these wealth as a matter of course, and use it to fill the caves of the national treasury to solve Daqi's urgent needs.

Standing at the front of the queue, Gong Eng watched this scene calmly, the corners of his lips curled up, his expression leisurely, as if it had nothing to do with him.

He gave a faint wink, and the few courtiers who opposed it became more enthusiastic, and the more he said, the more serious:

"Your Majesty, Daqi and Beiyan fought against Fang Ping. Over the years, the Northern Xinjiang army has suffered countless casualties, and everything is waiting to be revived. This time, the King of Chen County led troops to conquer Fujian Province. I am afraid that a lot of troops will be damaged, and the military supplies are even more consumed. It’s hard to estimate at the moment.”

"Moving Jinzhou now is tantamount to tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall..."

Hearing that these courtiers were almost alarmist, the emperor sneered and interrupted the other party: "I Da Qilian can kill a bandit and destroy the country?"

The emperor looked down at the ministers below, and took their different expressions into his eyes.

Naturally, he did not propose to pacify Jinzhou on impulse.

Most of the spring tax in the last season was used to suppress the disaster. Part of the money in the treasury was allocated to Pingminzhou this time. The summer tax has not yet come up. It is really difficult for the court. Have grain and other baggage.

The emperor's eyes became deeper and deeper, flashing a complex light, remembering what Gu Zezhi said before he left: "Your Majesty, the treasury is empty now, everything is difficult, and there are many places where money is needed, and there is a rush of urgency. When the time comes, you might as well empty your gloves and white wolf..."

The emperor turned the jade wrench on his thumb, and suddenly the conversation changed: "What all the Aiqings said is not without reason."

All the ministers were shocked, most of them did not expect the emperor to change his mind so easily.

The corners of Cheng Engong's lips were raised even higher.

A minister was about to stand up and praise the emperor for his wise and wise words, when he heard the emperor sigh and say again: "I originally intended for the second prince to lead the army... hey."

The smile on Duke Cheng's lips froze for a moment, and his pupils shrank.

The emperor seemed to be talking to himself, but the voice was enough for most of the courtiers in the Golden Palace to hear, and the atmosphere immediately underwent a subtle change.

Duke Cheng's heart surged, this was a great opportunity for the second prince.

He couldn't hold it any longer, he immediately stood up from the queue and bowed to the emperor in front of him: "Your Majesty, the second prince is brave and resolute, with the style of his father, he will definitely be able to live up to the emperor's order and flatten the top of Jinzhou. chaos."

As soon as these words came out, the courtiers who had opposed the bandit suppression just now looked at each other with a bit of embarrassment on their faces.

The emperor said lightly: "But the treasury has no money."

Duke Chengen: "..."

The second prince offended the emperor because of his previous peace talks with Beiyan.

However, since the emperor has the intention to make the second prince complicated in Jinzhou's bandit suppression, it shows that the emperor still values ​​this son quite a lot.

If the second prince completes the task of pacifying the chaos in Jinzhou, he can not only atone for his crimes, but also gain military power, and win the praise of the courtiers and the support of the people.

The emperor's mouth twitched slightly and continued: "This matter will be put aside for the time being."

Duke Cheng'en quickly made a decision in his heart, and said to the emperor in a righteous manner: "Your Majesty, the Jinzhou bandits are in chaos, and the people are struggling. Suppressing bandits is a major event that is beneficial to the people. The ministers and others are willing to collect this money for the people of Li and the common people."

What he meant was that he didn't want the state treasury to make money, and he paid out of his own pocket to pacify the bandits.
