On the morning of the fourth day after Qi Yu was imprisoned, the cell door was opened.
Yes, he regained his freedom, that is, he saw the light of day again.
Also released from prison with him was Zhang Yanei who was carried out.
Here's the thing.
Yin Gaoming of Shuntian Prefecture immediately chose to release the prisoner after receiving the approval letter from Chief Assistant Zhong Yi.
That is, agree to a settlement.
Just as he stepped out of the threshold, Qi Yu saw a familiar figure - Yin Jun.
After asking, I found out that he was here to deliver the handwriting of the chief minister, and he was waiting here just to take a look at himself.
Thank you.
Then, Qi Yu looked at the sun, which was approaching noon, and said, "It's getting late, so I'll treat you to a meal of thanks."
"Okay, I just have something to discuss with you." Yin Jun was not polite and agreed immediately.
So, the two of them went to a restaurant to sit down and order food.
Qi Yu toasted first and sincerely thanked Yin Jun for his generous help, but the latter waved his hand disapprovingly, indicating that it was not important.
That day, I wrote a letter to Yin Jun asking for help. Unexpectedly, the old minister actually gave him enough face and chose to take action himself.
The fact is that at this critical moment, he seemed to have inadvertently helped himself in secret.
After the pleasantries were over, we got down to business.
Yin Jun smiled and said: "Perhaps you don't know that this morning, Zhang Chengdong first visited the minister of Dali Temple, and then went to the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. He planned to unite these people to put pressure on my father-in-law.
You carried out revenge with serious consequences. But I didn’t expect that his son would be the first to raise the white flag, disrupting his plan.”
Is there such a thing?
Qi Yu couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he heard this. He never expected that Zhang Chengdong would actually win over his colleagues and form a team to deal with him.
I really underestimated him before.
Fortunately, this letter of reconciliation was written in time; if it had been any later, the plan would have been ruined.
Yin Jun continued: "But now, it's too late for him to do anything. As long as that page of understanding is there, he can't do anything! Haha, it is written clearly and clearly on it, and all responsibilities are fully
As for his son, he can't push it away even if he wants to. Even if the emperor is allowed to watch, it's impossible to overturn the case. This time, Zhang Yanei tricked his father."
Is he cheating?
Oh, I see……
Zhang Shangshu went around to build relationships, which also cost money. But as a result, he had just spent the money, and his son wrote a letter admitting his mistake. If this is not a trick, what is it?
Money is wasted.
Deserve it!
Thinking of this, Qi Yu laughed happily.
As for Zhang Chengdong's bribery of 100,000 taels of silver, Qi Yu did not mention it in his request for help, so Yin Jun did not know.
This doesn't mean that I can't trust him, but because I lack evidence, I can't just make a conclusion based on empty words from hearsay, right?
Then, the two of them turned the topic to the emperor.
What is the current situation of the war?
As the chief minister of the cabinet, Zhong Yi must have first-hand information, and Yin Jun was influenced by his ears and eyes, and his knowledge was naturally very comparable to others.
In this regard, he analyzed: "My emperor is still in peace, encircling without fighting, with the intention of a war of attrition. According to my father-in-law's guess, your majesty wants to defeat the enemy without fighting, and then capture King Yan alive.
As for King Yan, because he did not get a response from his allies, he became alone and did not dare to act rashly."
It is understandable that His Majesty's trick is to kill the eagle, but what does it mean to capture him alive?
Qi Yu shook his head, expressing confusion.
Yin Jun lowered his voice and explained: "King Yan's military exploits are so great. It can be said that without his bloody battles, Dafeng would not be what it is today. If His Majesty really had to kill him, it would be hard to avoid being killed.
Everyone in the world criticizes him, but it would be different if he were captured alive. Even if he is demoted to a commoner, he can still stop the mouths of everyone."
Qi Yu suddenly realized: "Your Majesty wants to get King Yan's personal confession and gain a good reputation."
"right!"
"well……"
According to Qi Yu's idea, if there is any big reason to talk about, he should kill King Yan first.
Aren’t history books written by the victors?
What good reputation do you want but can't get?
In Qi Yu's view, King Yan's crime was so serious that even death would not be enough to cover up his guilt.
In the final analysis, his family's misfortune and the untimely death of his second uncle were all caused by him, so he is the real culprit. Now that Princess Sichuan is dead, she is the only one left who has not yet been killed by King Yan.
Unless he dies, his revenge will not be considered complete.
…
After a quick lunch, Qi Yu and Yin Jun parted ways and went back to their respective homes.
Qi Yu, however, was as eager as an arrow to return home, and hurriedly rushed home.
The home looks the same on the surface, but if you look closely, you will find that everything is lifeless.
Needless to say, everyone in his family was in a state of anxiety because of his imprisonment.
After pushing the door open, Qi Yu deliberately shouted: "I'm back!"
After a few breaths, the family members all ran out of the living room with surprise on their faces and looked at the man at the door.
He was still wearing the same clothes he had before leaving, which looked a bit slovenly because he had not changed them in time. His hair was also quite messy, not combed or cleaned, and he looked like a homeless man.
Just seeing her, Liu Quan's tears flowed out involuntarily. She rushed forward in a few steps and cried: "You are finally back... Do you know that I can't sleep every night, worrying that you are inside?"
suffer……"
Mrs. Zhou also came closer, kept looking at her son and asked: "Amao, how are you eating in there? Have you been embarrassed?"
"Daddy..."
"Daddy..."
The two children were happily celebrating their father's return home.
Although Xiao Qixiao didn't understand why everyone was happy, when he saw his sister jumping around happily, he started dancing too.
Qi Yu Weiran sighed secretly: It feels so good to be cared about by others!
At this time, Qi Dalang was very satisfied and very happy, feeling that everything he had done was worth it.
At a glance, he saw Zhou Chunsheng and Yao walking from the house.
And Mrs. Yao knelt down with respect and said gratefully: "Thank you cousin for saving me. Without your protection, the slave family would have been captured by them..."
Qi Yu hurriedly asked Liu Quan to lift her up, and said: "If you have to thank, then thank your deceased father-in-law. Without his protection, I, Qi Yu, would not be where I am today. Now.
, it is natural for me to repay my second uncle’s love for licking the calf.”
When Yao heard this, he didn't know why for a moment and froze there.
Mrs. Zhou looked around and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, we are all one family, why are we talking about two families?"
Qi Yu hurriedly said: "Mother is right, we really don't need to see each other."
"..."
Afterwards, Liu Quan hurriedly boiled hot water and waited for her husband to bathe and change clothes, so as to wash away this bad luck.
After tea time, indoors.
In a large wooden barrel filled with steam, Qi Dalang was sitting enjoying a bath and massage. Through the hazy layer of mist, you could see that he was very comfortable and satisfied.
However, the most comfortable thing is the spiritual aspect.
After personally experiencing the horrors of prison, I truly realized how precious freedom is. This can be considered an unexpected experience.
Liu Quan had a different feeling. Without her husband at home, the family seemed to have lost its core and pillars, and became extremely fragile.
The family must be complete, if anyone is missing, it will be a flaw.
After sighing, Liu Quan talked about what happened in the past two days.
After Qi Yu was imprisoned, Meng Jiming was the first to hear the news. He emphatically informed and emphasized that there should not be much crisis or danger in this prison incident. If there were any changes, he would do his best to help.
In addition to the Meng family, friends such as Zhao Mingyu and Luo Yuan also came to express their condolences.
A friend in need is a friend indeed; these are the true friends.
Then, Qi Yu asked intentionally or unintentionally: "By the way, where has Brother Tong Yanhuo gone? Why haven't you seen anyone else?"
Liu Quan was startled when he heard this, shook his head and said: "I didn't pay attention either, maybe... he went out."
