i have queen halo

Chapter 256
The sky was slightly bright, and the servants of the Jin Mansion started another busy day.

The front yard, in the courtyard of General Jin.

Old General Jin, who had had breakfast, called his third son to him.

"Third son, you go find the traitor of the second son, and ask him to release Steward Jin and Captain Pang?"

Jin Cheng, who was entrusted with the task, was very upset.

He didn't want to and didn't dare to urge his second brother!
But looking at his father, General Jin's expression, Jin Cheng knew that he couldn't shirk.

Reluctantly responding, Jin Cheng walked out with his head down.

However, just as he walked out of the door, he saw a familiar figure.

Jin Cheng was overjoyed immediately.

He immediately turned back and said, "Father, the second brother is here."

"Huh?" Old General Jin subconsciously sat up straight when he heard the words.

Jin Cheng: "Father, the second brother must have come here to see you off because you said you were leaving today."

Because the second elder brother let his father take Changqing Jiao's family away, anyone who understands the value of Changqing Jiao's family will recognize Jin Meng as a hard-spoken general.

And this point, Jin Cheng and Jin Chi, who had been softened before, believed it even more.

However, when Old General Jin heard this, he was not only unhappy, but also displeased.

He snorted coldly, "He can't wait, he wants to drive us away!"

Jin Cheng: "...Father, you said yesterday that you left today?"

"I don't want to leave now, can't I?" Old General Jin stared at him sharply and said angrily.

Jin Cheng: "..."

Of course I can, but I'm afraid my second brother can't.

Jin Cheng just thought about it, because he knew that if his father didn't want to leave, the hard-spoken and soft-hearted second brother would not really drive them out.

But why doesn't father want to leave?

He has everything packed!
While Jin Cheng was talking to his father, Old General Jin, Jin Meng had strode closer.

"Second brother?" Jin Cheng didn't care about thinking any more, he quickly moved away from the door.

Jin rushed to Jincheng and nodded slightly, strode across Jincheng and walked into the room.

With Jin Cheng behind him, he also walked back into the room.

But at this moment, no one cares where he is.

Old General Jin looked at the second son who was walking in front of him, his face was full of displeasure.

Without waiting for the other party to speak, he squinted and asked, "Where are Butler Jin and Captain Pang?"

"When I came, I ordered everyone to be released." Jin Meng said roughly, "If there is no accident, father will see you soon."

Butler Jin, Captain Pang, their subordinates, and the guards brought by Old General Jin.

Added up, the number of people is not small.

Old General Jin felt a little better when he heard this.

But his emotions didn't show on his face.

"Butler Jin and the others need to rest. I won't leave today. If you want to see me off, come back another day!"

Yes, after a good night's sleep, old General Jin regained his sanity.

Almost all the people on his side were imprisoned by the second son, the rebellious son, and the specific situation is unknown now.

If he leaves, he needs to read it before making plans.

After all, old general Jin is a general who leads the army all the year round. He doesn't like to fight unprepared battles.

Even so, it somewhat undermines his majesty.

But, not to mention his majesty, these days, he has been touched all over by the rebellious second child.

Just talking about acting for the sake of momentary arrogance regardless of the specific situation is a taboo for leading soldiers.

Old General Jin thought clearly, but he still felt uncomfortable when he overturned his own words.

Regardless of whether it is out of dislike for Nizi, or because of this discomfort.

Old General Jin hoped that Jin Meng would leave quickly.

Jin Meng didn't know what his father, General Jin, was thinking.

Although Jin Meng was a little surprised that the other party didn't leave, he didn't think it was a big deal.

What he cares about now is the task assigned by his wife.

"Father, I didn't come here to see you off. I wanted to collect debts."

"Debt collection?" Old General Jin opened his eyes in astonishment, almost suspecting that he had heard it wrong.

Where did he get the debt from?

Jin Meng: "Father, the Jiao family owes Xun Mao 10 taels of compensation."

The compensation for the 10 taels of silver gun was not only mentioned by his father, General Jin, but also by Jiao Zhen yesterday.

So Jin Meng is not afraid that the other party will not know.

"You should go to the Jiao family for the money owed by the Jiao family." Old General Jin naturally knew about it, but knowing it didn't mean that he wanted to get the money out.

A trip to Su'an City, the loss of a large amount of food is not counted, and now it has to be paid for.

Old General Jin became more and more displeased.

Jin Meng: "If the Jiao family wants to leave Su'an City, they must return the silver. Father, if you don't want to return it, I will send someone to invite the Jiao family now."

"Are you forcing me?" Old General Jin's face immediately turned down when he heard this.

Jin Meng: "I just think that my father would be willing to take this money."

Immediately, Old General Jin held his breath in his heart.

Nizi is trying to piss me off!
However, at this point, the old general Jin still insisted on taking the silver.

In order to attract Changqing Jiao's family, he not only took food, but even lost his eldest son.

Now, for 10 taels of silver, the Jiao family should be separated, this is something he cannot bear.

Old General Jin thought clearly, and he knew better.

The second child, a rebellious son, came directly to him for money, which was to displease him.

He didn't come to see him off, he just wanted to send himself "on the road".

Thinking about it, Old General Jin said coldly, full of depression: "I'll take the money."

Jin Meng didn't think about it at all, just listening to his wife's words.

Hearing this, he took out the IOU.

When Jin Meng went out again, the place where he put the IOUs had been replaced with 10 taels of silver bills.

Walking out of General Jin's courtyard, Jin An greeted him and came up to report.

"General, everyone has been released."

The words caught his ears, Jin Meng nodded, "Send everyone into the yard."

"Yes, General." Jin An responded, and with a wave of his hand, the servants began to move.

Jin Meng glanced at the butler Jin at the front, and walked away.

Seeing this, Jin An followed.

"Send someone to Jiao's house and tell them that the old general will not leave today."

Hearing this, Jin An was stunned for a moment before responding.

Not to mention that Jin Meng went back to the backyard with the silver in his pocket.

After talking for a while, Old General Jin and Steward Jin's master and servant finally met after many days.

Butler Jin's eyes turned red with excitement.

He knelt down and said, "This old slave pays respects to the general."

Old General Jin waved, "You all go out."

This of you, of course, does not include Butler Jin.

With Jin Cheng included, he glanced at Butler Jin and walked out of the room.

Then, he saw Jin Chi, the fourth younger brother who just came over.

"Third brother, I went to your yard just now, and the servant said that you were called away by your father."

After Jin Chi said this, he looked at the sudden extra people in the courtyard.

"Second brother, did you release all the people who were locked up?"

Hearing this, Jin Cheng whispered: "Keep your voice down, father and Butler Jin are in the room!"

Suddenly, Jin Chi's expression changed, and he whispered back: "Third brother, I suddenly feel that nothing is good."

"Whether there is a good thing, we can't control it." Jin Cheng said, and walked to a remote place.

Jin Chi followed without even thinking about it.

"Fourth brother, father just told second brother that we will not leave today."

Jin Chi: "Oh."

No wonder there has been no movement!
It turned out that my father didn't intend to leave.

"Fourth brother, do you think our Jin family is rich?" Jin Cheng's sudden question stunned Jin Chi.

He asked back puzzledly: "Third brother, why do you ask such a question suddenly?"

"Just now, my father helped the Jiao family repay 10 taels of silver to my second brother." Jin Cheng replied.

Then, Jin Chi fell silent.

After a few moments of silence, Jin Chi opened his mouth and said, "Third brother, earlier, my father gave my second brother 30 taels of ransom for you and Butler Jin."

"So, you think our Jin family is rich." In fact, Jin Cheng didn't need to ask Jin Chi, he had his own conclusion.

The reason for asking is because he doesn't understand...

"Fourth brother, my father used to worry about the military supplies every year."

After hearing this, Jin Chi followed up and said, ""Third brother, father gave the second brother a large amount of food this time for the sake of the eldest brother and the others. "

Jin Chi's words made Jin Cheng silent for a longer time.

"So the rich and well-fed father used to be acting?"

Jin Chi: "Third brother, don't say that again in the future."

A lot of things don't go away if you don't think about it. After thinking about it, you just feel frightened.

And this is something they shouldn't think about.

Why doesn't Jin Cheng understand that the words of the fourth brother Jin Chi are right.

He shouldn't say things like that anymore.

But he still couldn't help it, and asked again: "Fourth brother, you said that the second brother already knew about it?"

In the main room, Old General Jin didn't know about his shocking conversation with his two bastards.

At this moment, he just felt absurd.

"Without evidence, you say that the second child is fake. Butler Jin, are you out of your mind?"

Butler Jin: "General, this old slave is not confused. The second young master has really changed his temperament..."

"Shut up! You are talking nonsense." Old General Jin reprimanded, "As the father of the second child, I didn't even feel that the second child's temperament has changed drastically. How did you notice it?"

Seeing that Steward Jin was still unconvinced, Old General Jin frowned, and continued: "Do you know that Changqing Jiao's family has already taken refuge in me?"

Hearing this, Butler Jin was shocked.

Seeing this, Old General Jin frowned, "If the second child is fake, even if he kills the members of Changqing Jiao's family, he will not let me take him away."

"General, is there any fraud in this?" Jin Butler asked in disbelief.

Old General Jin: "Even if there is fraud, so what? I have already investigated the Changqing Jiao family, and their identities are not wrong. As long as I take them away, I have my own means to make them bring me benefits. Or do you think, Am I as confused as you are?"

"The general is very strategic, how dare this old slave have such an idea." Upon hearing this, Butler Jin quickly softened his words.

Old General Jin: "The staff next to the second child, do you have any clues?"

Butler Jin replied in shame: "Back to the old general, the old slave has no clues. Because there is no clue, the old slave suspects that the Second Young Master has been replaced by someone else, and the staff is the fake Second Young Master himself."

Hearing this, Old General Jin looked deeply at Butler Jin.

Angrily, he thought to himself: This butler Jin has been bluffed by the second child, so he is useless.

"The second child's rebellious son is a fake, it's simply nonsense, don't talk about it in the future."

If it is said that the staff next to Nizi, the second son, is behind Sheng Jing, people from the Jing'an Marquis Mansion, or even people from the new emperor, he can somewhat believe it.

But whether the son is real or not, Old General Jin still has some confidence.

With a cold glance, the person kneeling on the ground.

He flicked his sleeves and said, "After you go back, you should take a good rest for a while, and then return to work by my side."

When my mind is clear, I will continue to work.

If your mind is not clear, you don't need to come back.

Butler Jin obviously understood the meaning of these words.

Therefore, after Old General Jin's words came out, he raised his head in shock, his face full of shock.

Seeing this, old general Jin has been in love with him for many years.

He said again: "You have worked hard all these years. When you go back, you will find a doctor so that you can take good care of your body."

Speaking of which, Butler Jin knew that there was no turning back.

He could only bow his head unwillingly and said: "Thank you, General, for your kindness."

In the backyard, just as Jin Meng walked into the yard, he suddenly felt a chill on his face.

He looked up and saw light rain falling from the sky.

Speeding up his pace, Jin Meng walked into the main room.

"Is madam awake?"

Hong'er, who was guarding the room, immediately turned around and said: "Go back to the general, the young lady is not awake."

Seeing that the general was drenched, she asked, "General, do you want to take a bath?"

"No need." Jin Meng waved his hand and said indifferently, "It's just a little rain, nothing to worry about."

After finishing speaking, he took out the bank note in his arms, "When Madam wakes up, you will hand it over to Madam."

"Yes, General." Hong'er continued.

Jin Meng: "Father, they won't leave today, you tell Madam together. Also, I will come back early at night."

Taking a look at the quiet inner room, Jin Meng turned and left.

"Oh, I forgot to bring the rain gear for the general." After Jin Meng left the yard, Hong'er suddenly remembered, she regretted.

So, after Fu Jinzhi woke up, he saw the anxious Hong'er.

She looked over with puzzled eyes, and Hong'er pleaded guilty: "Young madam, this servant has neglected his duty. The general went back to the backyard after breakfast. It happened to start raining at that time, and the servant only remembered when the general left. I didn’t prepare rain gear for the general. Please punish me?”

"It's raining outside? And my husband left in the rain?" Fu Jinzhi listened carefully at this moment, only to find that there was indeed the sound of rain outside.

Hong'er nodded in shame.

Fu Jinzhi: "When it rains this spring, my husband must be in a hurry to go to the army. Even if you ask someone to prepare rain gear, my husband may not wait, but you should be punished. A small punishment is a big commandment. If you are the first offender, you will be punished for half a month." Salary, don't be careless next time."

She knew that Hong'er was careless, but Jin An and the others were not careless, and when the man left the backyard, someone would definitely bring the rain gear.

But no matter what, Hong'er forgot to prepare rain gear for her master, which was a dereliction of duty.

As the person involved, Hong'er understood better.

Seeing that the punishment given by the young lady was light, she agreed with gratitude.

After dealing with Hong'er, Fu Jinzhi listened to the sound of the rain and said, "Let the kitchen prepare ginger soup, and everyone in the house can drink a bowl."

"Young madam, will the old general send them to the courtyard as well?" After Hong'er asked, she explained: "The general asked the servants to tell the young madam that the old general and the others will not leave today."
