The general's wife through time

Chapter 327: The Crimes of the Dark Night Alliance (I)

A master from the Imperial Palace suddenly appeared. Since the person in the room was Si Wei, who was an insider, he did not shy away and reported directly: "Your Majesty, Huashan and Dongyi have been dealt with, and more than 10,000 people have been buried."

As soon as the words fell, there was a moment of dead silence in the imperial study.

Emperor Jing Kang frowned, waved his hand, and dismissed the palace masters. Then the grief in his eyes and the anger that had nowhere to vent turned into a chilling coldness, freezing everything around him in an instant.

Si Wei also felt a chill all over his body, but he retracted his fierce murderous aura in just a moment. He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"Okay, stop drinking. If your sister-in-law knows that you have become an alcoholic, she will definitely reward you with a meal of bamboo shoots and fried pork." Qin Chuan snatched the wine pot from Qin Mingrui's hand, pointed to the thousands of new graves behind the two of them, and sighed: "We have taken down Dongyi, which can be regarded as revenge for them."

"But..." Qin Mingrui choked up, but couldn't continue with his red eyes.

But these thousands of people were so innocent, including some newborn babies. How could that beast Yuduan have the heart to bury thousands of people alive?

There was a huge pit in front of the Dongyi Palace. The bodies inside were all naked and had been tortured inhumanely before death...

After arriving in Dongyi, Qin Mingrui finally understood why his elder brother had massacred all the royal family members of Dongyi, because the soil that caused the people of Dajing to suffocate to death was filled up by all the royal family members of Dongyi.

Even the people of Dongyi couldn't stand it, so when Dajing's army entered the city, the people of Dongyi couldn't wait to accuse Yuduan and the Dongyi royal family of their brutal crimes.

"But we let the royal family of Dongyi die too easily, which was too easy for them. Not only does Mingrui feel uncomfortable, but I also feel a lump in my heart." Shangguan Xun gritted his teeth and said.

Qin Mingrui kicked a piece of gravel and stumbled. He cursed, "I admit that I am not a good person, but I have never thought of abusing the people of the other side when we are on the battlefield. To attack innocent people is worse than an animal! Even after death, I will go to the eighteenth level of hell and never be reborn."

He wiped away tears and pointed to several new graves not far away. His throat choked before he continued, "They live in the border. Although they don't have a rich life like the people in the capital, if they were alive, there might be many young couples like Wu Xie and Mo Yu among them, flirting and living a lively life. Who knows if the next Wu Feng will appear among these young doctors in Dajing? Even if they don't have such a good opportunity, at least they can have simple meals and gossip with neighbors when they are free. Maybe those children will cry and thank the Qin family army while holding the bacon they are reluctant to eat. Maybe those two young lovers who are inseparable can get married now, and I can even ask for a glass of wedding wine... But there is no if. For them, the daily necessities are a huge luxury. Thousands of lives and countless families were destroyed in the hands of that beast Yu Duan."

As the third son of the Qin family, he had lived a life of luxury and experienced hardships that others had never experienced, but it was true that he had never killed anyone before. He didn't feel anything when he was rushing thousands of miles, and his eyes didn't shed tears when he was surrounded by the enemy and his life was hanging by a thread. Now facing the tragic death of thousands of people, he really couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart. How happy he was to kill on the battlefield, how arrogant he was when he claimed to be the third general of the Qin family under the city of Donglin, and now he hated himself in his heart, hating himself for being too lenient to Yuduan's people.

Qin Mingrui burped, wiped his red eyes, and said, "There are thousands of new graves, but even if I want to erect a tombstone, I don't know their names. How can I not hate them? But I have no place to vent my hatred. Uncle, I only hate that I came to Dongyi too late. If I had killed Yuduan earlier, wouldn't these people have died?"

"I am the one who should atone my sins. If I had arrived at Dongliao City earlier and wiped out Li Hui's gang earlier, these people would not have disappeared. Now that they have been found, it's too late." Shangguan Xun blamed himself.

"Okay, they disappeared when Li Hui entered Beijing. Who would have expected this? Now that they have been buried, it is time for us to go back to our work. If we don't want such tragedies to happen again, we should govern the east well." Qin Chuan said.

He had mixed feelings, but someone among them had to stay sober at all times and not let the past ruin the future of the entire East.

The three of them returned to the palace of Dongyi and plunged into the mountains of government affairs together.

Just after reading an official document, Qin Mingrui felt a sharp pain in his heart, which almost suffocated him. Qin Chuan quickly pressed several acupuncture points on him and pushed the paper and pen in front of him, "Okay, write a letter to your sister-in-law to calm down first."

Qin Mingrui felt heartbroken for a few days after burying those civilians, and every night he dreamed of himself and those people watching the sunset outside Dongliao City. The warmer the dream was, the crueler the reality was, as if a dagger was deeply stabbed in his heart. Writing letters to Xue Tang was his only outlet for his emotions.

"It's not that I can't hold on. For the sake of the people's well-being and for my elder brother and sister-in-law to live a stable life after my death, I have decided to stay here and hold up half the sky here. If I can't govern the east well, I won't return to Beijing. The mansion I asked Your Majesty for is so that if I return to Beijing late at night one day, I will have a place to stay without disturbing my family and elder sister-in-law to rest. Now I just want to talk to elder sister-in-law, and writing those trivial little emotions is just to reassure her and let her know that I am doing well here. Otherwise, if I write too serious content, elder sister-in-law will think too much after reading it. She is already very tired and it's time to take a rest." Qin Mingrui explained.

"Yes, I know. I will also write a letter to Qin Mingyuan." Qin Chuan said.

Wasn't he also seeking comfort from Qin Mingyuan?
He would be thankful that his own sons did not cause him any trouble, but he could not rely on that at all. At this time, he could only rely on annoying Qin Mingyuan to calm himself down. He felt ashamed to say it, but fortunately he was shameless, and the feeling of shame could only survive in his mind for a short time.

Shangguan Xun looked at the uncle and nephew over there, picked up a pen and silently wrote a letter to his wife, telling his family that he would stay here and could not go home for the New Year this year. He also told Mrs. Shangguan that although the child was sent to the National Academy, she should take the child to visit the Wuwei Palace from time to time, so that the child could be exposed to the atmosphere of the Wuwei Palace. Only in this way can he really turn over a new leaf like Qin Mingrui in the future and become a useful person to his family, country and the world.

"Report, General Pingdong, your mother, Madam He, is here." The Qin family army who reported the incident ran in with joy.

Qin Mingrui's hand trembled as he was writing the letter. He looked up in disbelief, paused for a moment, and then rushed out.

Under the rosy glow of the sky, He was smiling. Her kind look could soften the whole world in Qin Mingrui's eyes.

This time when he left Beijing, he left without saying goodbye, and this time, there was no long wait for so many years, as his mother came to find him.

Qin Mingrui choked and said, "Mom, your injury hasn't healed yet, why are you here?"

"My injury is no longer a problem. Your sister-in-law said that you can't go back for a while, so your brother arranged someone to send me here. Your uncle Wei went back to Huashan to deal with some things and will come over in a few days. We came here in advance to celebrate the New Year with you, and spend every New Year with you. From now on, we will be wherever you are." He said with a smile.

She pointed to the carriage behind her and said, "They are worried that you are not used to it here, so the eldest lady and your aunt Yu and housekeeper Qin have prepared some daily necessities."

Family means that no matter what you say or how indifferent you pretend to be, they know what you are thinking and what you need most. Even if you can stand on your own and plan to shoulder everything by yourself, there will still be people who will take the initiative to help you share the burden.

First there was my uncle, and now my mother is here too...

Sister-in-law, elder brother, stepfather, Aunt Yu, Butler Qin, and even the reformed Qin Mingyue, they all care about him. He has never been fighting alone.

Qin Mingrui finally couldn't control himself anymore, tears welled up in his eyes, and he choked up and couldn't utter a complete sentence.

He patted his arm and said in a low voice, "Let's go. Come on, whether you want to cry or laugh, let's talk inside. You are a seventeen-year-old child in front of me, but in front of your subordinates, you are a general. You must pay attention to yourself and not lose your prestige."
