Chapter 518: Emperor Mingkang sends a message and Xue Pan returns home
"Your Majesty!"
In the imperial study room, on the imperial desk in front of Emperor Kangxi of the Ming Dynasty, there was an urgent document just sent from Zhili, Hebei Province.
Jia Chu took action in Zhili Prefecture and Wei Yufeng died.
Moreover, two forces were involved, one was the Fuwei Escort Bureau and the other was the Fusang Force. The secret guards followed the clues and even implicated the capital in the end.
The complexity of the forces behind it made him feel a chill running down his spine.
Jia Qi did not hide this matter. The memorial was transferred from the ministry to the cabinet. Lin Ruhai mentioned it to him, but at that time, it was already the time when the morning rooster croaked, and he forgot about it after attending the morning court.
Today, when he turned over the book, he remembered this matter again.
"What's up!"
Although there was a reason for Jia Chu's move, it still made him a little unhappy. Wei Yufeng was not a seventh-grade official. Even if he was guilty, he should be tried by the court.
If this move is investigated carefully, it may be a crime of transgression.
However, when he thought about Jia Qi's true identity again, he shook his head helplessly. If his son made a mistake, it was he who took care of him.
As soon as he threw the memorial aside, he heard Xu Yuantu say: "The champion of Chunyu Tower accidentally killed three princes."
Emperor Mingkang was stunned and seemed to think it was impossible. He had clearly asked Dai Quan to deliver the order! No matter how arrogant Jia Qi was, he would not resist the order.
"Where's Dai Quan?"
Emperor Mingkang asked again.
Xu Yuantu cupped his hands and replied: "Eunuch Dai is still in the Hou's Mansion and has not met with the Marquis. The Marquis left the Hou's Mansion first, and the mansion also sent people to Chunyu Tower, but they haven't arrived yet. Then
Something happened to the three princes."
Upon hearing this answer, Emperor Mingkang's eyes unconsciously raised.
Dai Quan went, and people were found, but these three princes still died in the end. Does this mean that this is how fate should be? Or does it mean that it was premeditated?
Emperor Mingkang stopped talking, but he was more inclined to the former.
Although Jia Qi is a calm boy, there are times when things can't be smoothed out. He was worried about this situation, so he sent Dai Quan.
"What about the boy?"
Emperor Mingkang was silent for a moment and then spoke again.
"This...should be back home!!"
Xu Yuantu guessed.
Emperor Mingkang seemed to laugh in anger, this was a coincidence.
"Go and ask Jia Qi to come directly to the palace!"
"As well as the news about the murders of the princes, we should block it first."
Xu Yuantu's expression turned bitter. Chunyu Tower is a busy city, can it be closed off?
But since it was Emperor Mingkang's wish, he could only do it, but whether he could seal it or not was another matter.
On the other side, the frightened Xue Pan had just returned to Lixiang Garden when Aunt Xue's eyes suddenly became moist.
"You evildoer! How could you get into such trouble? It scares me to death!!!"
"If you leave, how will your sister and I live in the future!!"
Aunt Xue stretched out her hand and patted Xue Pan's chest hard, sobbing.
Baochai on the side also covered her face and cried. She had been worried about Xue Pan being detained before. Now that she finally returned home, her emotions could no longer be suppressed and she sobbed for a while.
As soon as the two women cried, Xue Pan immediately panicked. Even if Aunt Xue scolded him and hit him twice, he would not do this.
"Madam, sister, please stop crying. It's thanks to Brother Qi's help that I came back this time!!"
Seeing that his mother and sister couldn't hold back their voices, Xue Pan quickly changed the subject.
When it came to Jia Qi, Aunt Xue and Baochai really restrained themselves, and after a while there was no movement.
Taking the handkerchief handed over by the maid, Aunt Xue and Baochai wiped their faces, tidied them up again, and then asked again: "Pan'er, how is Brother Xin? Those princes haven't continued to make things difficult for you, right?
?”
Hearing his mother's words, Xue Pan subconsciously swallowed. He didn't know if something happened to Jia Qi, but if something happened to those princes, it was still a big deal.
But remembering Jia Qi's warning before leaving, he trembled in his heart. This was the first time he had seen Jia Qi like that!
Fortunately, he thought he was a stupid overlord, so this time he almost wet his pants with fear.
"No...nothing!"
Xue Pan's eyes unconsciously glanced elsewhere. Seeing Xue Pan's expression, Aunt Xue knew that there must be something hidden in it. As a son she watched grow up, how could his thoughts escape her own eyes.
Just when Aunt Xue was about to ask another question, Baochai walked over slowly and pulled Aunt Xue's arm.
Aunt Xue felt the movement and turned around to look at her daughter. When she saw Baochai shaking her head gently, with a meaningful look in her eyes, she couldn't help but feel moved.
I looked at Xue Pan again and thought to myself that Xue Pan was unwilling to tell the truth. I was afraid it was not because of him, but because Jia Chun had specifically confessed.
Otherwise, with his son's love of showing off, he might have been unable to bear it long ago, and he would have shown it off on his own without even asking.
"Brother, Brother Qi is not allowed to talk, right??"
Xue Pan laughed awkwardly, his sister was still so smart.
"Sister, please don't ask about this matter yet. As a brother, I really don't dare to say..."
When Baochai heard this, a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart. In the final analysis, the matter was just that Jia Qi brought people back, and the people he came into contact with were those princes, and not much could happen during this period.
If these princes open their mouths like they did before, Jia Chu might spend a lot of money. Of course, it might also involve some favors in the officialdom. These things are not something that can be discussed casually.
Thinking of this, Xue Baochai couldn't help but comfort his mother.
"Mom, it would be great if you come back! My family and my aunt have been taking care of this matter. Now that my brother is back, what we need to do most right now is to say thank you."
When Aunt Xue heard Baochai's words, she sighed in her heart. Baochai's words were true. Although Rongguo's government did not provide any substantial help in this matter, the government also put in a lot of effort, and even Lin Ruhai made some contributions.
force.
Now that Xue Pan has returned safely, they really need to pay their respects.
"Pan'er, go and clean up. Later, follow us to find the old lady, the second master, and the Lin family aunt. Thank you. For you, the family went to war and sent people to help. We are here to take advantage of it. Don't lose your courtesy.
.”
When Xue Pan heard Aunt Xue's words, although he agreed on the surface, he disagreed in his heart. He had met Jia Lian, but those princes did not give him any face. If it were not for Jia Lian, he would probably still be tied up by Uncle Xue.
!
"Mom, actually the person we should thank the most for this is Brother Qi. If it weren't for him, my son might not be able to come back!"
Aunt Xue smiled.
"That's natural, but the Marquis' Mansion is quite far away from here. Tomorrow we'll prepare gifts and come to thank you in person!"
...
On the other side, Dai Quan was a little surprised to see Xu Yuantu, but when he heard that several princes were accidentally beaten to death by Jia Qi, his whole face turned green with fear.
On the other hand, Cai Luan's expression remained unchanged. It was bound to change one day.
