The return of the first daughter

Entering the palace today, Han Jiangxue knew that it must be related to Han Lei, but Li Qing brought her father first, so she couldn't help but focus her attention even more.

"There are many ministers who wrote a letter because of Han Lei's incident, saying that your father indulged his clansmen and did evil. As the head of the family, he neglected supervision and damaged the reputation of the century-old family. Some even questioned your father's ability to be the head of the family. Demanding that your father be severely punished, it is also possible to punish all kinds of unhealthy practices in the families of the rich and powerful in the capital."

Li Qing's words were concise. Although he didn't say much, the meaning was clearly there. Someone used Han Lei's incident to impeach Han Feng!

"Really, I don't know if all of these impeached people have committed crimes from people without clans?" Han Jiangxue said calmly: "I don't know if these people can show justice like my father and severely punish the relevant clansmen after committing crimes by clansmen. What about warning all the relatives? If they all do better than my father, then I have nothing to say, and the Han family will accept any kind of punishment. But if no one does better than my father, then I don’t know. What right do the impeachers have to speak out without knowing the truth?"

Hearing Han Jiangxue's words, Li Qing smiled and said: "You are right. There are hundreds of officials in the royal family, and every family will inevitably have some villains. In comparison, your Han family It’s been pretty good in that regard for so many years.”

"Besides, after Tan Lei committed the crime, your father didn't have any intention of covering up. He punished the clan members justly and severely, and all his actions afterward did not lose the demeanor of a wise patriarch. Because of this, I have never done anything wrong. I don't care about those memorials. I don't think this matter will have too much adverse effect on your Han family. It's just..."

Speaking of this, Li Qing paused for a moment, looked at Han Jiangxue with a slightly helpless look and said, "It's just that apart from the matter of Miss Jiang's family, Tan Lei is also involved in another important case, because the matter involved The identity of the personnel is a bit special, so I have been suppressing this matter and have not made it public. I called you here today, and I also want to discuss with you first to see how to deal with it."

"Oh, what important case would even attract the emperor to intervene in person?" Han Jiangxue pretended not to know.Said: "Actually, the emperor doesn't need to discuss anything with the civilian girls. No matter what other crimes Tan Lei commits, our Han family's attitude is the same. We can deal with it as we should, and we will never be biased in the slightest."

Li Qing was not surprised by Han Jiangxue's attitude.He just said unhurriedly: "Two months ago, an extremely disgraceful incident happened in the palace. Princess Jinyun went to the royal temple to offer incense, but something happened on the way back. He was drugged and insulted. After this incident, the case has been investigated in private for the sake of Jin Yun's reputation. However, the perpetrator has never been found. The results of the investigation were finally found a few days ago. But it turns out that the culprit is none other than Han Lei who raped Miss Jiang's family."

"Although Han Lei has already been hanged for the case of Miss Jiang's family, insulting the royal princess is a serious crime, and it is not enough to deal with Tan Lei alone. According to the law of Dongming, all Tan Lei's family will be imprisoned, and the entire family will be imprisoned." Except for your direct branch, all the descendants of the Han family will suffer exile and be distributed three thousand miles away."

Li Qing's voice was very calm.There was no emotional ups and downs, as if what he was talking about was not a big deal.At most, the taste of the tea is a little stronger and a little weaker.

But the tone of voice will not affect the incident itself. Tan Xiao's added crime is as revealed by Mr. Liu, and it affects all the offshoots of the Han family.

After listening to Li Qing's series of "introductions", Han Jiangxue was silent at first, and did not rush to say anything, but the disapproval between her eyebrows was not concealed.

"Han Lei is indeed nothing, but Minnv thought that he would never have the guts to insult Princess Jinyun!" Han Jiangxue said with great certainty: "I'm afraid there will be a case in this case, at least such a big matter should be dealt with." Convince the public!"

"Jin Yun didn't dress formally when he left the palace, just casual clothes, and he didn't bring too many people to show off, but he never expected to suffer because of it." Li Qing was not annoyed, and slowly explained for Han Jiangxue.

"Really? Even so, Princess Jinyun has a noble status. Even if she doesn't have much support and brings too many people, she always has extraordinary guards by her side. How could it be so easy for Han Lei to take advantage of the loophole? This One point, do you believe the emperor?" Han Jiangxue asked directly, the mocking look on his face was too obvious.

But anyone with some brains would think that this reason is too far-fetched, but she would like to hear how Li Qing can justify himself.

However, Li Qing didn't try to make things too much, just like what his brother said before, he chose to ignore the so-called reasonable and unreasonable.

"Guards should be punished for dereliction of duty. There is no need to talk about the details of how Han Lei took advantage of the loophole. In short, the facts are here. Don't underestimate the ability of these bastards."

Li Qing said: "Before you entered the palace, the capital yamen had already verified the matter and confirmed that Han Lei was the one who insulted Princess Jinyun that day, and at noon, Han Lei himself had confessed and pleaded guilty, the facts of this case are solid and there is no doubt. Even if you think it's unbelievable, the facts are the facts, and the parties involved have pleaded guilty, no matter how surprising it is, it can't change anything."

"Han Lei has already pleaded guilty?" Han Jiangxue sneered in his heart. Li Qing's move was brilliant. If Han Lei himself pleaded guilty, the hard-fought case would never be overturned, and the others would have nothing to question.

But in fact, getting Han Lei to plead guilty is an extremely simple matter, whether it is coercion or temptation, for Han Lei, he is a dying person, and nothing can be worse than the current situation , As for whether it will involve other people, for a selfish and inhumane person like Han Lei, he would never think about it, let alone care.

"That's right, I've pleaded guilty. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to discuss with you." Li Qing was as calm as before, but he couldn't tell whether he thought the matter was serious or didn't care at all.

Of course, whether it is serious or not is relative. Princess Jinyun is just a useless abandoned child to Li Qing, so her reputation has no influence at all.As for how the relatives of the Han family will be treated, it doesn't really matter that much to him.

What Li Qing cared about was Han Jiangxue's attitude, otherwise, there would be no such thing as negotiation.

To put it bluntly, the fate of so many members of the Han family does not depend on Han Lei, nor does it depend on Li Qing. In fact, it should depend on Han Jiangxue.

"Discussion? What are you discussing? Since the emperor has said that Han Lei has pleaded guilty and the evidence is solid, then what can I discuss with you?" Han Jiangxue frowned: "The Han family has such a rebellious beast, The Han family has nothing to say, and Minnv has no right to discuss anything with the Emperor, and Minnv can't afford to talk about it."

Li Qing persuaded in a good voice: "Don't be angry, it is not a trivial matter that concerns the entire Han family branch. Even if you are dissatisfied, you still have to consider it for the entire Han family. Since I asked you to discuss it, it is natural I don't want the Han family to be so implicated and hurt because of a mere Han Lei, and if possible, I don't want to hurt your family and friends too much."

"Really? I don't know what the emperor means?" Han Jiangxue retracted her brows, as if she didn't bother to get angry, and didn't try to refute Li Qing's so-called "vindictiveness".

Knowing things well, she really has nothing to be annoyed about, and it's not worthwhile to spoil herself with white anger.

Sometimes, Han Jiangxue really felt that Li Qing was indeed a person with a very strong heart, at least, not everyone could be so unremittingly making fun of the same woman.

"As long as you want, I can let people handle this case secretly. Only Han Lei and his family are held accountable. As for the other Han family members, they can live as well as before under your protection, even It can be better." Li Qing didn't feel that there was any problem with his words, and looked at Han Jiangxue with gentle and lingering eyes.

That kind of natural gesture of goodwill doesn't have a trace of lowliness, but instead gives people an indescribable courage.

But in Han Jiangxue's eyes, everything was just a way to make her bow her head and compromise. She didn't hide her sarcasm, and said with a smile: "Asylum? The emperor thinks too highly of women, and I even protect myself." No, how can there be such an ability to protect the entire Han family?"

"As long as you marry me and become Dongming's queen, you will naturally have the ability to protect the Han family." Li Qing didn't care about Han Jiangxue's sarcasm, but stated the conditions very seriously and solemnly.

Become his wife, become his queen, from now on the Han family can be protected by Dongming forever!

When Li Qing finally stated his ultimate goal, Han Jiangxue was uncharacteristically neither annoyed nor sarcastic, his face was as calm as water, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

It should be said that there was nothing unexpected about Li Qing's words. This emperor was a typical example of perseverance. He never forgot to use everything and served his selfish desires openly and aboveboard.

At such a time, Han Jiangxue couldn't tell if he was numb, or if he was too lazy to bother too much with useless things, and even felt that people like Li Qing were really pitiful!

That's right, it's pitiful, truly pitiful, the kind of pitiful that holds the world in its hands but actually has nothing in its heart! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
