Chapter 284 Hu Qian Killed (Part [-])
Qin Wubing explained: "I caused the trouble, and let you face that old lady alone..."

"I'm just playing for fun! What can she do to me? It's just that she doesn't dare to be serious with me, so she can only vent her anger on you."

"What do you mean?" Qin Wubing thought for a while, and immediately understood, and asked with a smile: "On the way back, you didn't bother Zhao Guang a lot, did you?"

"I'm not as good-tempered as you. He doesn't have his own entourage, nor does he have his own carriage. He has to sleep wherever I let him sleep. If he dares to talk nonsense, he just throws it into the wild. He didn't follow all the way obediently. but……"

"You didn't expect his grandmother to be waiting in Jinling."

"Yeah, he cried when he saw his grandmother, and then fell ill, and he hasn't recovered yet."

Dexi stood aside, watched the time and followed up and interjected: "The master asked everyone to come in and talk."

Lin Huai yelled: "I'm going to rest!" Then he disappeared.

……

Prince Xiang wanted Qin Wubing to briefly report on his work and then go down to rest. Unexpectedly, the old monk first talked about his trip to Xichuan, and finally said with a desolate expression:

"I decided to keep the boss's family. He has always disapproved of rebellion, but he was helpless. I thought, I must keep one for the third brother."

Prince Xiang didn't say a word.

The old monk said again: "I went to see the seven brothers before I left Xining, and they... also regretted it."

"Li Shichang... committed suicide in prison five days ago." Prince Xiang spoke slowly, without any emotion.

The old monk was stunned for a moment, and the room was quiet for a while, before the old monk said: "It's okay, the emperor still cares about his family, so it can be regarded as leaving a whole body."

"What will the emperor do with the others in the end, uncle Qi, don't worry, just wait for the news."

The old monk nodded heavily.

Qin Wubing hurriedly spoke up, he always believed that the less he knew about the royal family, the better, he seriously didn't want to hear about such things.

Qin Wubing briefly talked about what happened on this trip, and Prince Xiang listened carefully, asking questions from time to time.

When Qin Wubing mentioned Hu Qian, Prince Xiang frowned even tighter.

Qin Wubing sighed and said: "My lord doesn't need to make troubles, and I didn't say what to do with him, it's just that Mr. Song is a good official!"

"After I received the news that you vomited blood, I wrote to the emperor saying that Hu Qian cannot stay!" Prince Xiang said with a cold face: "When the country is in danger, some people stand up, some shrink their heads, and some Some people are willing to give up all their flesh and blood, and some people are only looking at the benefits! If you can’t distinguish between right and wrong, rewards and punishments at this time, who will share the country’s worries? Who dares to say that there will be peace and prosperity in the future without any disturbances?”

Qin Wubing was moved. He could personally annoy the old General Qin to death, but he couldn't deal with Hu Qian in Xining City according to his own wishes. He thought it was a matter of propriety. He made it clear that he and Hu Qian were at odds, but he thought it was a personal matter. , can be solved slowly and privately, he doesn't understand the twists and turns in the officialdom, but he accepts it.

Therefore, when Guo Yi talked about him, he listened very carefully. Guo Yi was telling him the price and consequences. He knew it, but he still did it according to his original intention.

But today, Prince Xiang told Qin Wubing that he and Qin Wubing had the same thoughts!

How could Qin Wubing not be moved?Just when he organized his words and wanted to express his gratitude and loyalty to Lord Xiang, Lord Xiang said with a sullen face:

"However, I received news this morning that Hu Qian traveled to Lishan County two days ago... was poisoned to death in the posthouse that night!"

There were exclamations of different rhythms in the room.

Qin Wubing stood up and didn't speak, Guo Yi asked anxiously: "The third younger brother had just had a falling out with Hu Qian, and he died on the road, isn't this, isn't it, isn't he thinking about the third younger brother?"

The Eldest Princess shrugged and said, "They will think more about me."

Qin Wubing kept looking at Prince Xiang with a sullen face, his expression was very serious.

"You don't have to look at me like that. The emperor has already sent people from the Criminal Department and Dali Temple to Lishan County to investigate the case."

Just as Qin Wubing was about to speak, Prince Xiang said again: "However, the emperor also said that if you are free, you can go there..."

Qin Wubing turned around and wanted to leave.

"Stop!" Lord Xiang yelled, looking helplessly at Qin Wubing, who turned around, and said, "What are you in a hurry for? Lishan County is closer to the capital than Jinling, can you fly there? If someone really wants to eliminate the evidence, it's still far away." This night?"

Qin Wubing glanced at the eldest princess, then sat back on the chair with his head down.

"You don't have to worry about Yu'er, there is no one in this world who can do anything to Yu'er! Anyone who has her idea is a dead end!"

Qin Wubing took another look at the eldest princess, who was smiling with her lips pursed.

The old monk just realized what was going on, and immediately shouted: "I will go too!"

"Seventh Uncle is getting old..." Prince Xiang had just started to persuade, but the old monk immediately retorted:

"I've been in Tiantai Temple for decades, what's the matter when I come out to have fun? The strength I've accumulated for decades will be brought into the coffin if I don't need it! Besides, someone wants to plot against my niece and niece-in-law. I am not an uncle. Come out and take care of it, who will take care of it?"

"Uncle Qi, don't worry, the emperor is very angry, this matter will definitely be investigated and found out." Prince Xiang comforted.

"That also requires me to guard the place. Didn't you just say that both the Ministry of Punishment and the Dali Temple sent people there? You can go alone without being sick, and you can't be bullied? No, I have to follow. No one can do it except me." Bully him!"

Prince Xiang had no choice but to agree, but said: "If you want to go, you will start tomorrow. Let's take a rest today, have dinner together in the evening, and then have a good sleep."

The old monk smiled and went to rest. Qin Wubing wanted to ask something more but was stopped by the eldest princess: "You have not recovered from your serious illness for a long time, and you have been rushing back to Jinling all the way. If you refuse to rest well, Then you can’t go to Lishan County tomorrow!”

Qin Wubing hurriedly went to rest obediently.

……

Qin Wubing fell asleep on the bed after taking a bath, didn't eat lunch, and slept until the sun was setting in the west. After waking up, he was dazed for a while, and hurried to Prince Xiang's room.

Prince Xiang was reclined on the bed reading a book, Qin Wubing was not polite when he entered the room, he sat directly on the embroidered pier beside the bed, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, took two sips before asking: "Look at Brother Jiu So leisurely, the flood should be no problem, right?"

Dexi helped Prince Xiang to sit up.

"The tiring time is over. Your father, uncle and elder brother have helped a lot. It's a pity that they are not in Jinling right now. You can't see them. See you in the capital! Their contribution is not insignificant. Although they did their best to prepare for the flood, the people affected There is still a lot of land, and the shortage of silver and food is inevitable."

Prince Xiang sat next to Qin Wubing, glanced at Dexi, Dexi walked out of the room, and closed the door tightly outside, Qin Wubing saw that Dexi was guarding the door, there was something to tell him!
