During the fight that day, Qin Liang didn't take it too seriously. After all, no one was killed. Moreover, he stood upright and was very tolerant.
Unexpectedly, just ten days later, Rao Dashan suddenly ran back and said that Qin Jun (Qin Sheng) was suddenly arrested by the officers and soldiers of Qinghe County on his way back from the county town to transport salt! He said that someone had accused Qin Sheng of colluding with trafficking in illegal salt.
The thief, Rao Dashan, kept saying that it must be someone from the Qinghe Zhongchang family who made the false accusation, because the two families often got into trouble in order to compete for the fertile land.
Qin Liang was a little puzzled. He did beat the boy of Zhong Chang's family that day, but the boy was obviously a playboy and should not be able to influence the government. This incident was obviously not just because of the grudge between the two, but the playboy also added fuel to the fire.
Maybe. The more Qin Liang thought about it, the angrier he became.
But he ignored his anger and saw that his sister-in-law Zhang was already crying. He had never seen her so anxious before. Zhang was like an ant on a hot pot, neither sitting nor standing, as if the sky was about to fall.
"I asked about the messenger in green that day, and he was indeed the messenger from the He family." Mrs. Zhang seemed to have grasped at straws, "He Jun, Erlang's classmate from Imperial College, is the son of He Shangshu. He Jun passed by Jizhou, and now he
Erlang is still in Pingyuanyi, go and beg him quickly. His father is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, can he be in charge of the officials of Qinghe County?"
Qin Liang pondered: "He Shangshu cannot directly govern the prison affairs of the county, let alone He Shangshu's son."
Zhang begged: "No matter what, let's try it first. Maybe Qinghe County Sheriff will be willing to sell his favor for the sake of He Shangshu's power."
He was a little embarrassed. He remembered that when Qin Liang was studying at Taixue, he had some grudges with his classmate He Jun because of their children's affair. At this time, he went to ask his classmate He Jun, but He Jun might not wholeheartedly help him. These things
My brother and sister-in-law didn’t know.
But Mrs. Zhang is right, if you really have no choice but to bite the bullet, you should try. Although he is no longer the same person now, his brother and sister-in-law don't know, and they still treat him as a brother.
At this moment, Qin Liang suddenly understood and said hurriedly: "Sister-in-law, please be patient. I'm going to find something first."
Madam Zhang was anxious and angry, stamping her feet and complaining: "Although your brother is always strict, how does he treat you in his heart? Don't you know? Don't I know? Isn't it just the matter with Lu, the daughter of Dr. Taixue?"
Qin Liang thought to himself, it turned out that his sister-in-law knew about those rubbish things. Maybe Qin Liang had mentioned it before, but he couldn't remember it.
Mrs. Zhang said angrily: "You just want to lose face, you have a bad temper! Is face more important than your brother's life?"
When Qin Liang heard this, he felt a little dazed for a moment. Because his sister-in-law reminded him of his wife in his previous life, and she complained almost every day that he was incompetent and didn't understand human relationships and would only suffer and work hard. But now this Qin Liang, actually
Is he also a character who can’t lose face?
Fortunately, he had a lot of experience listening to complaints, and his ears were calloused, so he could still tolerate his sister-in-law's complaints. As he walked in, he said, "Sister-in-law, please be patient. My mood is the same as my sister-in-law.
We all want to rescue brother immediately."
... Zhang finished venting her words and finally calmed down a little. She could only sigh "Hey" and watched Qin Liang walk quickly to the study, helpless.
She walked around the room and couldn't stay still any longer. Although Erlang had gone to Imperial College, he was still young and had never done anything reassuring before. I'm afraid she couldn't just rely on him.
.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhang immediately turned back to the back room, changed her clothes, combed her hair again, put on a cloth handkerchief to reveal the hairpin, and still tied a white cloth scarf in the middle of her long hair. Then she called two bankers and drove
The carriage hurried to Pingyuan Station.
She was a little impatient. Now she was on the road, and the carriage couldn't go any faster, but she was still worried that He Jun and his wife had left Pingyuan County.
Zhang rushed to Yicheng and asked about the whereabouts of Mr. He. He learned from Yizu that He Jun and his party were still living in Yicheng. Then he learned from the slaves of the He family that Mr. He was invited to a banquet by Pingyuan County officials.
Now, only Mrs. Lu can see her.
This is good, since Mrs. Zhang is a woman, so it is easier to talk to Mr. Lu, otherwise it would be difficult to speak in front of officials.
Mrs. Zhang finally met the Mrs. Lu, and she was indeed pretty. No wonder both Erlang and Mr. He fell in love with her. She seemed to have feelings for Erlang first, but later she married He Jun for some unknown reason. The inside story, Zhang
The family has no way of knowing.
When Mrs. Zhang saw Mrs. Lu, who was younger than herself, she immediately knelt down on the ground, her voice choked with sobs, and started to tell her origins.
"I know, remember." Madam Lu quickly stepped forward, knelt down and helped Madam Zhang up. Her voice was clear and her tone was good, "Sister-in-law, don't be anxious, sit down and speak slowly and listen to me. I will try my best."
Help.”
... Mrs. Lu's attitude was very good and she was very patient, but she was also very tight-lipped. After dealing with it for a long time, she finally sent Qin Liang's sister-in-law away.
Lu turned around and realized why she had to suffer this crime? She had never thought before that she could choose to avoid seeing Zhang. Even if she did so, what would it matter? Maybe it was because of Qin Liang, who was in her
In my heart, at least it left a deep impression.
When it got dark, the shaky He Jun finally came back.
He smelled of wine and women's makeup, and when Mrs. Lu saluted and greeted him, he just responded with "um" and "ah". Until he found a pack of Wu Shi Powder and drank it, his fair face gradually turned red.
Light, this is full of pleasant spiritual energy.
Because of He Jun's lecherous behavior and his fondness for Five Stone Powder, the Lu family was initially a little tired of him. Unexpectedly, the new emperor came to the throne not long ago, and the general Wu'an Hou Cao Shuang suddenly became the auxiliary minister; and the He family had a good relationship with the general.
The He family, which had always been disliked by those in power, immediately rose to prominence, so the Lu family no longer cared about her husband's details.
She became more virtuous and tolerant, and because she often spoke in a coquettish tone, her husband praised her for getting younger and younger.
At this time, Mrs. Lu mentioned what Qin's sister-in-law asked for, and then said very obediently: "I didn't promise her, I only said that I would tell my husband."
After hearing this, He Jun said: "You are actually asked to plead for Liang! Although Liang and I are classmates and good friends, you are not afraid that I will hate you out of jealousy?"
Mrs. Lu said with a smile, "I knew you were going to say that! Didn't I just say that I didn't agree to Mrs. Zhang? I excused myself by saying that I am a woman and have no way to interfere in public affairs. I also asked Mrs. Zhang to go back and tell me.
Come to see your husband in person so that we can discuss things conveniently."
Then she gave He Jun a light blow and said softly, "My husband is stingy. At that time, I was young and ignorant, and had little knowledge. I was deceived by my appearance, and I was in the boudoir. I only exchanged some poems and books.
How long will you continue to hold grudges?"
Of course Lu's statement that she was "in the boudoir and only exchanged poems and books" was not the truth, but the rest of the story was indeed true. She once followed her father in the Imperial Academy, and was first attracted to Qin Liang, but after she got to know He Jun, she knew
He Jun's father is the stepson of Taizu, and his mother is the princess of Jinxiang. She soon felt that Qin Liang was very ordinary. She finally felt what she wanted more.
At this moment, He Jun suddenly raised his head and laughed "haha". He was very happy and praised: "Interesting! Wonderful, wonderful!"
Mrs. Lu glanced at He Jun and was almost startled by He Jun's expression. He Jun's skin was originally very white, but the blush that appeared after taking Wu Shi Powder was very unnatural, and his smile was a bit distorted. Mrs. Lu
I asked why.
He Jun said with a smile: "When I was in Imperial College, Liang was aloof and aloof, and he blamed me for taking away people's love. Wouldn't it be great to let him beg me now? It would be very interesting to think about such a scene!"
Mrs. Lu took the opportunity to prove her innocence: "My husband has been with Liang day and night, but I have rarely met him. If you know Liang, I am not as good as your husband." Then she frowned and said: "After all, you are classmates and friends, so treat each other like this.
Is he too ruthless?"
He Jun shook his head: "I don't want his life, how can I be callous? Besides, as long as he bows his head to me, maybe he can resolve the old grudges."
Lu added: "What if Liang is really willing to give in, but my husband fails to save his brother, wouldn't it be embarrassing?"
He Jun disagreed: "I begged for him, what else? I have only heard that everything you ask for will be granted, but I have never heard of the principle that everything you ask for will come true."
Lu asked tentatively: "My husband's wishes are not easy to come true?"
He Jun thought for a while, "It's hard to say. This matter should involve the dispute over the boundaries between the two counties of Qinghe and Pingyuan. It also went to the general (Cao Shuang). What's not good is that the general seemed to feel that Qinghe County's rhetoric
It makes more sense. Among them, the joints give me a headache just thinking about it, who wants to get involved?"
Listening to her husband's tone, things were a little out of Lu's expectation. Secretly, Lu was a little annoyed and thought to herself: Why should I provoke Qin Liang's family again? If Qin Liang's resentment was aroused for nothing, would he do it in front of her husband?
Bring up those unspeakable past events and talk nonsense to your husband?
The more Lu thought about it, the more he became afraid. He blamed himself for being confused, so he carefully asked: "Will the general (Cao Shuang) care about the local territorial disputes?"
He Jun stared wide-eyed, "You don't know the origin of that Zhongchang family in Qinghe County?" Mrs. Lu was just thinking about it, when He Jun continued, "Huan Fan's late wife's surname was Zhongchang!"
Lu suddenly realized that she knew Huan Fan because he was so famous in Luoyang. The great Sinong Huan Fan was Cao Shuang's confidant. I don't know who first spread the nickname of "think tank". Many people in Luoyang knew that Huan Fan was
Cao Shuang's think tank.
Huan Fan himself was a great farmer and had considerable power. In addition, Cao Shuang was now in power. Who could fight with them?
Qin family? Not to mention Qin Liang, an imperial student with no official position. Even Qin Lang, who is related to him, has lost all his power and returned home!
Mrs. Lu suddenly felt weak and felt that something was vaguely wrong. Of course she was not worried about Qin Liang, but worried that Qin Liang would jump over the wall and talk nonsense about her.
She asked almost feebly: "Why is Pingyuan County still fighting?"
He Jun smiled and said: "Because that land does indeed belong to Pingyuan County."
No matter what, Qin Liang's family is completely finished this time.
