The Qiu family, a family of fourth-grade military attachés, is a middle-class official family in the capital. Qiu Tianyin, the Zuoduwei of the Guards Camp of the Imperial Guards, is also considered a mid- to high-level general in the Imperial Guards.

"Cry, cry, cry, just cry. If you cry to death, Pan'er won't be able to survive!"

In the back hall of the Qiu family, Qiu Tianyin looked at his wife who had been crying in front of him for a long time, and cursed in a very depressed way.

"Master, you must avenge our Pan'er. Pan'er can't die in vain. We must let the evildoer of the Xue family pay for our Pan'er's life. Oh my, my poor Pan'er..."

"Don't worry, Pan'er's death will not be in vain! Prince Zhongshun has agreed to supervise the Criminal Department to handle the case impartially. With Prince Zhongshun here, even if the Xue family has a great background, they will not be able to escape their guilt. I will definitely

We will make Xue Pan pay for our Pan'er with his life!

Okay, you go down and leave me alone."

Just when Qiu Tianyin was tiredly driving his old wife away, he suddenly saw the housekeeper rushing over. When he saw him, he shouted: "The master is not good, then Jia Lian, the Marquis of Zhenyuan of Jiajia, is calling..."

"What!?"

Qiu Tianyin immediately stood up and walked outside, asking the housekeeper what was going on.

"Replying to the master, the second master received the guests in the outer courtyard according to the master's order. Suddenly, Jia Lian came with people, saying that he came to pay homage to the master. The second master remembered the master's instructions, and all the four major families in the old capital and their relatives and friends came to pay homage to the master.

If he refused to receive him, he persuaded him to leave with good words.

But Jia Lian not only ignored the second young master, but his soldiers directly blocked our door. The second young master did not dare to make his own decisions, so he came here to ask the master to make the decision."

"Asshole!"

Qiu Tianyin was furious.

Speaking of his order not to allow the Xue family and their relatives and friends to enter, the main reason was that many people were entrusted by the Xue family to come to intercede, which made him take the trouble. He simply ordered all families with whom the Xue family had long-term friendships to stay away.

This really saves a lot of trouble.

But this Jia Lian actually dared to do this. He felt that Jia Lian was relying on his family background and official rank, and did not take his enemies seriously at all.

He walked to the outer courtyard angrily, and saw his second son jumping at the gate from a distance and cursing: "Jia Lian, don't think that you are a marquis and dare to act wildly in our enemy's family. I will have my father report this matter to

Please be loyal and obedient to the palace and report it to the imperial court to punish you for your wild and rebellious crime..."

Hearing his son's shouting, Qiu Tianyin couldn't help but glance at the housekeeper: Is this what you call "good words and advice"?

His steps involuntarily slowed down, he suppressed his anger, straightened his appearance and walked over.

When Fang arrived at the door, he saw two rows of armored officers and soldiers in neat uniforms and solemn expressions lined up on both sides of the front door of his house. Surrounded by the invisible officers and soldiers, several tall horses stood, led by a young man, Hei Guanhua.

Shang, his face is like the bright moon and his eyes are like new stars.

He just rode so demurely on the white horse, and gathered boundless power into his body, making everyone who looked at him feel ashamed.

Qiu Tianyin's heart trembled, and he secretly thought that this person could achieve such a reputation and be entrusted with important tasks by His Majesty. He was really not an easy person to deal with!

"What happened?"

"Father, you are finally here! This is the man. Not only did he break into my enemy's house without permission, but he also had his son beaten. Wow, father, you must make the decision for me."

Qiu Tianyin, who was pretending to be casual at first, saw his son looking at him pitifully with a slap mark on his face, and the anger he had just suppressed started to rise again.

Do the people from these four major families really think that their enemies are weak and can be bullied?!

After glaring at his son and telling him to step back, Qiu Tianyin looked at Jia Lian and asked in a deep voice: "May I ask Lord Zhenyuan, what does this mean?"

When Qiu Tianyin looked at Jia Lian, Jia Lian also saw him. Jia Lian had only been in the court for a short time, and he was often away on business, so he still didn't know many officials in the court, especially military attachés like Qiu Tianyin.

At this time, seeing his tall figure and steady eyes, he knew that this person was not a drunkard. It was no wonder that he came from a poor family, curried favor with the loyal and obedient prince, and then moved to the fourth rank of officialdom.

After hearing the other party's question, Jia Lian replied calmly: "Master Qiu, are you asking about the second young master? Oh, this is my kind intention.

Just now, the second young master was too excited and spoke rudely. If he only spoke rudely to me, that would be fine. I and Mr. Qiu are officials in the same court and belong to the same colleagues, so I will not care about the younger generation.

However, the second young master said in a nonchalant manner that the enemy was a member of Prince Zhongshun's palace. If I did not retreat, my enemy would report to Prince Zhongshun's palace what would happen to me?

I thought to myself, Lord Qiu, as a general of the Imperial Guard, is responsible for the security of the Forbidden Palace and has a heavy responsibility. Even if he really wants to recognize the master, it should be His Majesty. How can he change his identity to someone else?

Therefore, for the sake of Sir Qiu's future and life-or-death plan, I have asked someone to slap the Second Young Master to warn him of his sudden slip of the tongue. If Sir Qiu feels that what I have done is wrong, I would like to apologize to Sir Qiu."

Jia Lian was riding on the horse and held his hand very politely. But his polite gesture made Qiu Tianyin's heart skip a beat.

What a show of force! Why couldn't Qiu Tianyin understand the meaning of Jia Lian's words? This meant that the owner of his enemy's family was disloyal, implying that King Zhongshun formed a clique for personal gain and had evil intentions!

But he really didn't dare to ignore it. If others said this, he, Qiu Tianyin, could not care about it, but Jia Lian could not.

It is rumored that this son is a close associate of the emperor. If he uses this as an excuse to slander him in front of the emperor, he may not be loyal to the palace. His enemies will only make a mark in the emperor's heart.

So he slapped the second son with his backhand, and then said to Jia Lian: "What Marquis Zhenyuan said is absolutely true. The dog is young and ignorant, and speaks lies. He should be warned. Although my enemy has relations with Prince Zhongshun, it is only because of

When Xiaguan was in despair, Prince Zhongshun was kind to him.

As for the ignorant people who say that the enemies are people who are loyal to the palace, it is really nonsense. I, Qiu Tianyin, eat the emperor's salary and be loyal to the emperor, how can I not understand the duties of the emperor and his ministers? Thank you for your understanding of what happened today. "

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Qiu Tianyin bowed down and bowed deeply as he spoke. After he stood up, he said expressionlessly: "I just don't know, Lord Marquis is here today.

What's the matter? To be honest with the Marquis, things have not been going well for my enemy's family recently, and the dog has recently lost his son. If the Marquis has no other instructions, please forgive me for not having time to receive him..."

Before Qiu Tianyin finished speaking, he saw Jia Lian stand up and dismount, waved his hand casually and said: "Master Qiu, there is no need to be polite. I also know about the eldest son of your house, and I would like to ask Master Qiu to express my condolences.

Speaking of which, I am an old friend of the eldest son. Knowing his misfortune, I am very sad and have come here specifically to pay homage to express my condolences."

As he spoke, Jia Lian took the three hundred silver ritual gifts from Xue Baochai behind him, placed them in Qiu Tianyin's hands, patted his shoulders to express relief, and then walked towards the gate on his own.

Qiu Tianyin opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say for a moment. He didn't think that Jia Lian couldn't hear his thank you, and why he said that he and Pan'er were old friends? Huh, if Pan'er really has friendship with this person

, you won’t teach that evildoer of the Xue family to be beaten to death!

Taking a deep breath, Qiu Tianyin thrust the sacrificial gift into his son's hands and followed Jia Lian. He wanted to see what Jia Lian wanted to say when he came here. If he was also here to intercede for the Xue family, he would teach him to know.

What does it mean to kill to pay for life, and to pay debts for money!

…

Jia Lian's arrival caused quite a stir in the enemy's family.

However, because of what happened at the door, even Qiu Tianyin was "very polite" to Jia Lian. The rest of the Qiu family did not dare to clash with him anymore, but secretly looked at the most famous young marquis in the country with curiosity.

Qiu Tianyin stood outside the mourning hall and watched as Jia Lian walked to his son's coffin and worshiped three times. Then he took three sticks of incense from the attendant and inserted them into the incense burner devoutly.

Seeing this behavior, Qiu Tianyin almost began to doubt whether his unlucky son really had a deep friendship with Jia Lian during his lifetime!

The hostility towards Jia Lian in his heart has subtly decreased a lot. It's not that he really believed Jia Lian's words, but it's really difficult for people like Jia Lian to create life-or-death hostility.

Therefore, when Jia Lian came out of the mourning hall, Qiu Tianyin paid his respects and said straight to the point: "Since the worship of the Marquis has been completed, I will not stay with the Marquis anymore. If you have any other instructions, please just ask the Marquis to tell you."

However, I have something to say first. If Lord Marquis is also here to intercede for the Xue family, I will forgive my disrespect."

Faced with Qiu Tianyin's ugly words, Jia Lian's expression did not change, and he was even a little surprised: "Why did Mr. Qiu say this? Since ancient times, it has been said that murder must be repaid with life, and debts must be repaid with money. It is a natural and right thing to do. How can I do this for the Xue family?"

plead!"

A few steps away, Baochai, who was dressed as a maid, looked slightly moved but showed no sign.

Qiu Tianyin was also stunned, "Then Master Hou, this is..."

"Oh, but I really have something important to talk to Mr. Qiu when I come here."

Jia Lian glanced around and said, "Master Qiu is not going to talk to me here, is he?"

Qiu Tianyin hesitated for a moment, then cupped his fists and waved his hand: "Please."

Arriving at the main hall, after Qiu Tianyin asked someone to serve tea, he originally wanted to let Jia Lian speak first, because he was not sure about Jia Lian's purpose. But who knew that Jia Lian didn't seem to be in a hurry, and even had the time to evaluate the enemy's tea with him.

Qiu Tianyin finally ran out of patience and took the lead in speaking:

"We Mingren do not speak secretly. Please express your intention to come. If there is anything my enemies can do, please give me instructions. But if the Marquis still comes to intercede for the Xue family, please give me your instructions."

Don’t open your mouth.”

While speaking, Qiu Tianyin involuntarily glanced at Baochai who was standing next to Jia Lian again, and secretly said that the rumors were true. This Zhenyuan Marquis was really a romantic marquis. There were rumors that the reason why he refused the Queen Mother's marriage proposal was because he was worried.

After marrying the eldest princess, you can no longer be romantic and let down all the beauties.

Now it seems that it is not groundless. I don't know what he wanted to do when he brought such a beautiful maid to his enemy's house today.

Jia Lian took a sip of tea before putting down the tea cup and said with a smile: "Although I am not here to plead for the Xue family, what I said is indeed related to the death of Mr. Ling?"

Sure enough! Qiu Tianyin said coldly: "Oh, I wonder what the Marquis wants to say?"

Jia Lian smiled and clapped his hands. After a while, Qiu Tianyin saw Jia Lian's personal guards and kidnapped someone.

Qiu Tianyin glanced at Sun Shaozu, who was staring at Jia Lian on the ground and could not speak because of something stuffed in his mouth, and asked in surprise: "Who is this person?"

Jia Lian smiled and said: "This officer's surname is Sun Shaozu, and he is also one of the main culprits who caused the misfortune to the young master. But because of his cunning, he absconded on the day of the incident. Fortunately, the officers and soldiers of our Bingma Division had paid attention to this person, so they could not do anything."

Let this officer go unpunished.

Today, I am also preparing to personally escort him to the Ministry of Punishment for severe interrogation. Thinking that Mr. Qiu sent a white-haired man to a black-haired man because of the drunkenness and troublemaking of such a dandy, I couldn't bear it, so I brought him along the way.

Lord Qiu, let me vent the pain and anger in my heart."

Looking at Jia Lian who was speaking seriously, Qiu Tianyin sneered and said: "Master Hou, could it be that the current official is a three-year-old child, and he thinks that if he just picks a slave to take the blame, the subordinate will believe him?"

"Slave, he is not a slave. This Sun Shaozu was originally an officer in Datong Prefecture, Shanxi Province. He was dismissed last year for beating his superior while drunk.

Speaking of which, the Sun family is a family of military officers, and their ancestors were also high-ranking generals in the army, and they even happened to serve under my ancestors. Speaking of which, Sun Shaozu is also an official disciple of my Jia family.

As for taking the blame? Haha, although I, the Jia family, are family friends with the Xue family, if you say that I, Jia Lian, would sacrifice my family friends and disciples in the Rongguo family for the sake of a Xue family dude, I’m afraid Master Qiu may not believe it.”
