Chapter 55: He and I have no national grudge, only personal grudge
After coming out of the palace, Qin Hao returned to the Palace of the Minister of Justice after a long absence. According to Emperor Qing's reward, he was now General Huaihua. From the third rank, he was only one level lower than his father Qin Hui.
Naturally, the family held a grand reception banquet and invited many dignitaries from the capital, making the scene very lively.
However, Qin Hao only drank a few glasses of wine and then pretended to be drunk and went back to his small courtyard to hide away.
After sending away the maid who had been serving him before, Qin Hao fell directly to sleep. In the past half a year, he had not had a peaceful sleep.
He actually slept until noon the next day, and finally his cheap dad Qin Hui woke him up.
"Little Master Fan is here, clamoring to see you."
Qin Hao stretched out: "If he doesn't just stay at home, why did he come to me?"
Qin Hui came closer and whispered the reason for the incident.
It turned out that Emperor Qing summoned a group of princes last night, saying that he wanted to support the eldest prince, but instead he asked Fan Xian to sit down.
As a result, Fan Xian revealed to Emperor Qing that the second prince Li Chengze and the eldest princess Li Yunrui had been smuggling with the Jinyi Guards of the Northern Qi Dynasty for many years. Li Chengze naturally refused to admit it, cried out that he was wronged, and insisted that Fan Xian framed him. Emperor Qing asked Fan Xian to provide conclusive evidence, but the witness Since Shen Shen was already dead, Fan Xian suggested using the powerful intelligence network of the forensic institute to continue the investigation and evidence collection. He also showed his Tisi waist badge, and Emperor Qing threw it directly into the lake behind him.
In fact, Qin Hao could probably guess why Emperor Qing, who had always been tolerant to Fan Xian, got so angry this time.
After all, Li Chengze and Fan Xian are two brothers. Normally Emperor Qing would let the second prince and the prince form a clique to fight for power, which was just to temper them. The harder the fight, the happier Emperor Qing would be. Now Fan Xian wants to kill the brothers. If you die, what's the point?
"So His Majesty dismissed Fan Xian from his post, but why did he come to me after he was dismissed?"
Before Qin Hao could finish speaking, Fan Xian had already barged in and grabbed Qin Hao's arm: "Old Qin, you can elope with my sister."
Qin Hao rolled his eyes: "Is this what a man should say?"
"No, oh, how can I tell you?" Fan Xian was already a little incoherent.
"Your Majesty wants to grant a marriage to my sister."
Qin Hao raised his eyebrows: "Marriage? When did it happen?"
"I said it last night."
"Has the decree come down?"
"Not yet, but it should be soon."
Qin Hao knocked on the edge of the bed: "Who gave me the marriage?"
"Prince Jing's Crown Prince, Li Hongcheng."
"Is it the Second Prince's lackey?"
"Um."
Qin Hao patted Fan Xian on the shoulder: "Okay, I know what to do."
"No, what are you going to do?"
"It is hard to disobey the emperor's order. If you kill him before the decree comes down, everyone will be gone. How can you give him a marriage?"
Fan Xian's eyes widened and he murmured to himself: Is this still possible?
But before Qin Hao could walk out of the door, he was hugged tightly by his cheap daddy: "You traitor, killing the royal family is a major crime that will destroy the nine clans. If you want to go out today, you have to step on my corpse."
Fan Xian also reacted and stopped Qin Hao: "Old Qin, I think Shibo is right. We can't do this recklessly. We have to take a long-term approach."
Qin Hao stopped and said to the cheap dad who was still hugging his thigh: "Let go, I won't kill him."
Then he patted Fan Xian on the shoulder again: "Remember to describe my reaction to your sister truthfully."
Only then did Fan Xian realize that he had been deceived, and he was angry and funny: "Old Qin, can you do something right? I will discuss business with you."
"Let your sister feel my feelings, this is the business."
Fan Xian was extremely contemptuous of Qin Hao's expression: "Can you be any more shameless?"
"Then it becomes you?" Qin Hao scolded with a smile.
After the two of them teased each other for a while, Fan Xian saw Qin Hui still lying on the ground and couldn't help but curiously asked: "Qin Shibo, do you think the ground is cooler than the chair?"
"You two bastards, I was almost scared out of my mind by you, why don't you give me a hand?"
Qin Hao was so happy that the old man was paralyzed with fear.
After repeatedly promising not to mess around, cheap daddy Qin Hui gave Qin Hao and Fan Xian a space to chat alone.
"Seriously, what are you going to do about this?" Fan Xian said seriously.
A cold light flashed in Qin Hao's eyes: "Killing Li Hongcheng openly and openly would cause too much noise. It can still be done by doing some tricks in private."
"It's still too risky. There is an inspection agency in the capital watching over us, and every move of all of us cannot escape His Majesty's eyes and ears." Fan Xian shook his head.
"Then what if it was Northern Qi's secret agent?"
"Beiqi spy? Could you be..."
Qin Hao raised his hand to stop Fan Xian's questioning: "You don't need to get involved in this matter. Go back and tell your sister, don't worry, I will never let her marry Li Hongcheng."
"I'll bring it to you, but there's one more thing." Fan Xian's tone was hesitant.
"What's up?"
"Your Majesty has granted more than just this marriage, there are also two princes, Li Chengze and Ye Ling'er."
Qin Hao's eyes narrowed: "Second prince?"
"How about I help you kill him and our families will go on the run together?"
Fan Xian rolled his eyes at Qin Hao angrily: "It's not funny if you do this kind of joke twice."
"Then what do you think we should do? The second prince is no better than Li Hongcheng. He has many guards around him and is protected by Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu. It is almost impossible to get rid of him without anyone noticing." Qin Hao looked serious.
road.
Fan Xian sighed: "Is the whole world a royal land? Unless our two families all surrender to Northern Qi, otherwise..."
"No, there are so many of us. It would be difficult to leave the capital, let alone go to Northern Qi."
"This matter must be considered in the long term and cannot be impulsive. Fortunately, His Majesty has not issued an order yet, and the matter has not yet reached an irreversible point."
Qin Hao raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "Fan Xian, do you think that if the Grand Master takes action, can he kill the second prince in public?"
"Grand Master? Lao Qin, are you trying to ask Grandmaster Ye to take action? Then the result will be the same?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "No, there is someone in this world who can rival the great master."
Fan Xian frowned when he heard this: "You mean Uncle Wu Zhu? However, since the last time he went to Northern Qi, Uncle Wu Zhu has never appeared again..."
Qin Hao showed a playful smile: "Who said that apart from Wu Zhu, there is no one who can compare with the four great masters in this world?"
"This... doesn't it mean that there are only four great masters in the world?" Fan Xian was completely confused by Qin Hao.
"You forgot where the five bamboos came from - the temple!"
Fan Xian's eyes lit up: "Do you have a way to mobilize the power of the temple?"
"Remember before when you owed me a favor and I told you to lend me something one day?"
"what?"
"The things in the box your mother left behind."
"This...how do you know what my mother left in the box?"
"Don't worry about it. I naturally have my own news channel. Can you borrow it?"
"Yeah, you've helped me so many times, it's finally my turn to return a favor to you."
Qin Hao patted Fan Xian on the shoulder and said with a smile: "That's the best thing about making friends with good people. There is always something in return."
Fan Xian:..........
After sending Fan Xian away, Qin Hao was preparing to stretch his muscles when his maid came to report.
"General, someone is coming from Zuixianju."
A pair of eyes like a pool of spring water suddenly appeared in Qin Hao's mind.
By the Liujing River, Zuixianju, on a flower boat.
"General Qin, do you feel any emotion when you revisit your old place?"
Si Lili stared straight at Qin Hao with resentful and weeping eyes.
Qin Hao touched his chin in embarrassment: "What did Miss Lili say? I have never forgotten my agreement with you these days."
"Oh, then why are you here now? If I hadn't sent someone to invite you, General Qin would have forgotten about the slave family long ago, right?" Si Lili said angrily.
Qin Hao stepped forward, pressed the other person's shoulders, gently kneaded and comforted him and said: "Even if I forget someone, I will never forget you, Miss Lili. You are not just my confidante, we are still intertwined."
A comrade in arms."
"Whoever is your confidante, you men, nothing you say is reliable."
Si Lili said this, but the curve of the corner of her mouth betrayed her completely.
After sitting down, Qin Hao winked at Si Lili, who quickly understood and sent all the maids out.
"Do you want revenge?"
Si Lili was startled when he heard this, and then his lips began to tremble: "What did you say?"
The idea of revenge has been lingering in Si Lili's mind for more than ten years. She was originally a high-ranking royal princess, but she was living on the streets like a lost dog. How could she not hate her?
She couldn't wait to peel off the skin and cramps of her enemy.
But she couldn't do it. The other party was the king of a country, and he could crush her into powder with just one word.
Qin Hao repeated it again.
"Yes, of course I do. I have even dreamed of it. As long as you can help me get revenge, I can do whatever you want." Si Lili said firmly, as if he was afraid that Qin Hao would regret it.
Qin Hao saw that the atmosphere was a bit serious, so he raised Si Lili's chin: "Is anything really okay?"
Si Lili's pretty face turned red, but her expression was extremely firm.
"Um."
Looking at it from Qin Hao's perspective, I have to say that it is still very spectacular.
As if aware of Qin Hao's gaze, Si Lili rolled his eyes at him, but this time he did not restrain his sharpness, but deliberately straightened up.
"It's too difficult to kill Emperor Qing, at least not yet, but I can help you get some interest back." Qin Hao cleared his throat and forced himself to look away. If he continued to look at it, he would be committing a crime.
"Interest?"
"How is the second prince Li Chengze?"
Si Lili looked at Qin Hao suspiciously: "Why him?"
"Emperor Qing granted me a marriage." Qin Hao had no intention of hiding it. This kind of thing would soon become known to everyone.
"Oh, is it Miss Ye or Miss Fan?"
"Both of them are married, one is the second prince Li Chengze, and the other is the eldest son of Prince Jing, Li Hongcheng."
"So they're both going to die?"
"What do you think?"
Si Lili covered his mouth and smiled sweetly, and said angrily: "So General Qin plans to eat two things for one fish, kill one person, and sell two favors?"
"Do you want this favor?"
"Yes, of course, when will we do it?"
"Don't worry, I'll do it naturally when you're ready."
Si Lili was speechless and choked, her fingers as delicate as green onion kept trembling. Qin Hao gently patted her shoulder and comforted her: "Don't worry, I will notify you in advance when the time comes, so that you can see Li Chengze die in front of you."

........
On the other side, Fan Xian returned home and had to wipe his brother Versace's butt before he could get the box left by Ye Qingmei.
Previously, Versace was deceived by the second prince Li Chengze and opened a brothel. As a result, this brothel not only forced girls into prostitution, but also caused a life-threatening lawsuit.
As a last resort, Fan Xian had no choice but to send Versace to Northern Qi for refuge.
It wasn't until late at night that Fan Xian had time to dig out the box left by Ye Qingmei. Previously, all his attention had been focused on the letter left by Ye Qingmei. At this time, he was assembling the Barrett sniper rifle inside.
It was then discovered that the sniper rifle was damaged and could not be used at all.
Not caring about waiting for tomorrow, Fan Xian carried the box over the wall and entered the Qin Mansion to find Qin Hao.
"This gun is temporarily unusable and needs to be repaired, but with the current level of technology, it is simply impossible to do so."
Qin Hao picked it up and looked at it: "I will find a way to repair it, and I will consider it as a return of this favor to you."
"Can you repair it?" Fan Xian looked at Qin Hao suspiciously.
Qin Hao gently tapped Barrett's exaggerated barrel: "No, but I have seen something similar somewhere. Maybe it can replace the broken one."
Seeing that Qin Hao didn't say where it was, Fan Xian didn't ask further, but asked hesitantly.
"Are you sure you want to kill Li Chengze?"
Qin Hao asked, "Don't you want to?"
"Yes, of course I do. He tried to kill me over and over again, and also killed Lao Jintou. There were so many innocent lives in Shijiazhen. I can't wait to kill him right now." Fan Xian said with red eyes.
"But, I want to use the national law to deal with him. I want the people of Qing to see what it means that a prince who breaks the law is guilty of the same crime as the common people."
"I'm not willing to kill him in this way."
Qin Hao played with the barrel of Barrett's gun and curled his lips: "I remember that your mother also used this sniper rifle to kill the two princes of the Qing Kingdom in order to put His Majesty in power, right?"
Fan Xian was speechless for a moment.
Qin Hao said slowly: "Princes who break the law are guilty of the same crimes as the common people? Do you think it is possible? As long as His Majesty is here, even if Li Chengze commits a terrible thing, he will not die. At most, he will be deprived of his rights and return to his fiefdom to become a free prince.
"
"Don't forget that the eldest princess Li Yunrui colluded with the Northern Qi Dynasty to betray the secret agents of the Inspection Institute. What was the result? It's not like she was simply kicked out of the capital."
"If you want to kill him openly and uprightly, that's your idea. Li Chengze and I have no national grudges, only personal grudges."
Fan Xian sighed dejectedly. In fact, he didn't know that Emperor Qing had repeatedly shielded the second prince. Even if he got irrefutable evidence, Emperor Qing would not kill his own son.
Thinking of this, Fan Xian suddenly remembered the inscription at the entrance of the inspection institute.
After coming out of the Qin Mansion in a daze, Fan Xian came to the inscription erected by his mother Ye Qingmei during her lifetime.
