Dali Temple Prison.
"Master Marquis, please come this way."
The jailer led the way with a smile on his face. Although Qin Hao has only received a few casual posts in the Privy Council, his rank is not low. The third-grade General Yunhui is qualified to wear purple robes, not to mention that he also has the title of Marquis of Jinghai. Naturally, a little jailer would not dare to neglect him.
"Unjustly accused, my lord."
"Unjustly accused, I am unjustly accused."
Prison has never been a good place, and there were constant prisoners on both sides of the road. There was a sound of wailing. If you stay in this environment for a long time, normal people will become abnormal. It is no wonder that those cruel officials are all like lunatics. They are probably the result of the influence of the environment.
"Master Marquis, this is it." The jailer said and opened the door flatteringly.
Gu Tingwei heard the sound of the door lock and turned around quickly. Then he saw Qin Hao. His face burst into tears. He threw himself at Qin Hao's feet, hugged Qin Hao's thigh and cried.
"Cousin, you are finally here. Please save me quickly. I can't stay here any longer."
Qin Hao pulled Gu Tingwei up, but He said angrily, "Now that I know how to be afraid, how could I not be afraid when I took advantage of those two beauties?"
Gu Tingwei cried bitterly, "Cousin, I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again. Please save me." Get out, this is no place for people, there are bedbugs everywhere, you can’t eat well, and you can’t sleep well.”
Qin Hao sighed and patted his shoulder, “Now the court. A thorough investigation is being carried out on King Yan's gang members, and I can't rescue you right away. I can only try my best to find a way to plead with the officials. But now I have only received a few idle posts, and I am afraid that my weight in front of the officials is not enough, so I can only Let me take a look at you first and give you some clothes and quilts to make you feel better inside."
Gu Tingwei suddenly became bitter when he heard this, "Cousin, you must save me."< /p>
The two dandy boys in the fourth and fifth rooms next door became anxious when they saw Qin Hao coming but did not ask about their situation at all.
"Cousin, I am also your cousin, don't forget us."
"Yes, why didn't you bring us a copy of these clothes and bedding?" ”
Qin Hao was so angry that he thought he was Santa Claus who came to deliver gifts and each of them got one. He had never had a good impression of the Gu family’s four-bedroom and five-bedroom apartments. Due to his kinship relationship with the Xiao Qin family, he didn't bother to come to the cell. These two guys had nothing to do with him.
"Hey, the two cousins are here too, but my aunt just He said that Ting Wei came in and asked me to find a way to get him out, but he didn't say that you also came in. How about I bring it to you next time I come here?" Qin Hao secretly provoked.
As expected, these two guys got angry when they heard this.
"What a little Qin, thanks to us always respecting her so much, if something happens, she only has her son in her eyes, not our two nephews."
Gu Tingwei heard this They said this about their mothers, arguing that "the twoCousin, don't say that. Maybe my mother forgot to explain that she is not that kind of person. "
"Bah, stop being hypocritical. You are all the same. I heard that during the interrogation, you put all the blame on us. When you were enjoying those two beauties, why? I didn’t see you shirk it.”
“It’s just that you, mother and son, are both the same. You have two faces in front of you and the other in the back. It’s disgusting.”
Qin Hao didn’t bother to watch them dog-eat-dog and walked out of the Dali Temple prison. He got on the carriage and went to the palace.
"Qin Aiqing is here, come and see how this chart looks like." Zhao Zongquan was fiddling with the chart with great interest, and enthusiastically invited Qin Hao to enjoy it together.
p>Qin Hao knows why Zhao Zongquan is so happy. It has been almost a year since Shen Congxin took over his position. However, when Qin Hao came back, it was already winter and was not suitable for going to sea. Coupled with the influence of the monsoon, Shen Congxin went to sea again. It should have been three months ago. Counting the days, it was about this time that he came back.
During this period, Qin Hao also received complaints from some of his old subordinates. This guy Shen Congxin was completely reckless. , the relationship with many famous names in Fuso was very tense.
The most speechless thing is that this guy actually wants to requisition the ships of those maritime merchants to help him transport goods for free. Perhaps in his opinion, merchants are all. They are a bunch of soft persimmons, and they can be pinched as much as they want.
However, Shen Congxin didn’t know that maritime merchants were different from the merchants in the Song Dynasty. The merchants in the Song Dynasty did not dare to offend nobles. Because they had no place to go, and sea merchants had a way out. If they couldn't take their families across the ocean, they could easily find a suitable place to settle down.
When Shen Congxin made this request, He had already lost the support of the maritime merchants. All the merchants fled overnight. However, this guy still thought highly of himself. He felt that without these merchants relying on the fleet left by Qin Hao, he could still collect huge wealth from various countries.
In this way, Shen Congxin traveled across the ocean this time. Not only did he take away the fleet left by Qin Hao, but he also assembled a dozen large ships worth three to four thousand materials to prove that Qin Hao could do it. He can do the same thing.
Qin Hao chatted with Zhao Zongquan about his experiences at sea, and Zhao Zongquan was filled with excitement. King's land, this sea area is also the world of few people. For such a rich land to be occupied by a group of natives, it is really a waste of natural resources. "
Just when Qin Hao was about to compliment him, a eunuch rushed in in a hurry.
"Guan family, General Shen is urgent for eight hundred miles. ”
Zhao Zongquan laughed loudly and said to Qin Hao, “Look, we were just talking about this thing at sea, and it came.” ”
“Send it up. "
"No. "
Zhao Zongquan unfolded the memorial casually, and the smile on his face froze for a moment. Then he threw the memorial to the ground and shouted angrily, "How does this Shen Congxin do things?"
< p>Yes, no need to ask, Shen Congxin must have failed this timeQin Hao couldn't ask. It would be a slap in Zhao Zongquan's face. He could only wait for him to calm down first and take the initiative to bring it up.Zhao Zongquan vented his anger, picked up the memorial again, turned it over, and then threw it to Qin Hao.
Only when Qin Hao took a look did he realize how unreliable Shen Congxin was. This guy took more than a dozen ships out to sea. According to Qin Hao’s previous route, it went smoothly when he went there, but when he arrived in Siam and Thailand After that, seeing that they were full of natives and with poor weapons and equipment, they just started looting. At first, they gained a lot, but they soon encountered a counterattack by the local natives.
Although the natives have poor weapons and equipment and no fighting qualities, they live in dense forests all year round. They have endless means for sneak attacks. Soon Shen Congxin lost his troops and almost even himself He was poisoned and had no choice but to retreat to the sea.
When he arrived in Zhenla, Shen Congxin finally learned his lesson and bartered with the local natives in exchange for a lot of gold, ivory, and spices. However, Shen Congxin's greedy habit recurred, and he lost three to four thousand He forced the ship to stuff more than 5,000 materials of cargo. As a result, it encountered a storm at sea. Except for the few giant ships with 5,000 materials left by Qin Hao, all the other ships sank.
The remaining giant ships were able to survive thanks to the experienced crew members who threw most of their cargo into the sea to reduce the burden and then drove the ships to escape from the storm area.
Not to mention making money after such a trip, we also lost a lot of money. The pension for the fallen soldiers alone was a huge expense.
Zhao Zongquan is now ready to kill Shen Congxin. He has just formulated the policy of minting gold coins, fully thinking that Shen Congxin can bring back a large amount of gold as raw materials, but now he can only shelve it. This is undoubtedly It will greatly affect his prestige.
Zhao Zongquan looked at Qin Hao with a responsible expression. This incident told him that things at sea were not as simple as he thought, and not everyone could play it.
"Qin Aiqing, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
Qin Hao respectfully raised his hands and said, "The most important thing now is to care for the fallen soldiers. Otherwise, if we lose military morale, I'm afraid Even the Iwami Silver Mine in Fuso cannot be saved."
Zhao Zongquan was shocked. The Iwami Silver Mine was already an indispensable part of his coinage reform and could not be missed.
"What Qin Aiqing said is in line with everyone's wishes, so let's leave this matter to Qin Aiqing."
"No."
This is disguised After restoring Qin Hao's previous position, Zhao Zongquan did not mention the punishment for Shen Congxin at all. The main reason was that there were really few trustworthy people around him, so he had to take care of it for him first.
"Oh, by the way, why did Qin Aiqing enter the palace this time?" Zhao Zongquan also knew that Qin Hao was fine at ordinary times. Even the Privy Council only went to order a knot. He definitely didn't come to the palace to find him out of boredom. Chatting.
Qin Hao explained the situation again.
Qin Hao bowed slightly, "In fact, it would be good to let the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion learn a lesson, so as to save them from having nothing to do all day long, and they might cause even greater trouble in the future, Wei Chen I just couldn't stand my aunt's request, so I came to ask the officials for a leniency."
It means that as long as he is not killed, he can be punished as he pleases.
Zhao Zongquan laughed loudly when he heard this, "No wonder you and Gu Tingye can become close friends. We are so compatible."
"Then let's lock up the third young master of the Hou Mansion for half a month. The other two will be judged as appropriate after the trial in Dali Temple."
"Thank you for your kindness."
After leaving the palace, Qin Hao arrived at Ningyuan Hou Mansion.
The Xiao Qin family and the people from the fourth and fifth bedrooms all came out to welcome him. Qin Haolai had not received such treatment in the past.
"Master Hou, how are you?" Xiao Qin asked earnestly.
Qin Hao pretended to sigh and said, "I have asked the officials for grace, but the officials said it was against the party. No one can interfere until the Dali Temple has heard clearly. There is nothing I can do. ”
“Ah”
In an instant, the two wives who were rushed to the fourth and fifth bedrooms fainted, and the eldest wife of the fourth bedroom also cried like a slaughtered pig. , the eldest wife of the fifth house wiped away tears.
Xiao Qin was secretly disappointed, and grabbed Qin Hao's hand and asked, "Master Hou, how is my family Ting Wei?"
Qin Hao comforted him and said, "Auntie, please don't worry, I have already I went to Dali Temple to see my cousin Ting Wei. He is okay and doesn’t suffer any physical pain. Even though the weather is a bit cold, I gave him some clothes and bedding, so it shouldn’t be too difficult.”
The fourth master became anxious when he heard this, "Sister-in-law, you brought something for Ting Wei, why didn't you tell us?"
The fifth master was also unhappy and said, "That's right, sister-in-law, you can't just take care of your family." Ting Wei, just don’t care about our brother’s life. It’s freezing cold. How can they survive in there?” A helpless and weak look.
"It's all my fault. A woman who doesn't understand anything will forget everything when she panics."
The fourth wife and the fifth wife did not believe her words, and immediately told her There was a quarrel.
Just when the scene became extremely noisy, Gu Tingyu, who had never spoken, shouted, "Stop arguing, the most important thing now is how to rescue Ting Wei and the others."
As he spoke, Gu Tingyu coughed violently.
Qin Hao couldn't help but sigh secretly when he saw this. The eldest son of Ningyuan Houfu was initially known as the two sons of Bianjing along with Qi Heng. He was not inferior to Qi Heng in terms of appearance and knowledge. It's just that he suffered from a serious illness since he was a child, and his sickly body weighed him down.
Otherwise, Gu Tingye would never have the chance to inherit the title of Marquis Ningyuan.
Gu Tingyu cupped his hands at Qin Haogong and said, "Cousin, you have seen this in Ningyuan Houfu's house now. Old and young, I am like this again, so I can only ask my cousin." run. ”
Qin Hao said quickly, “Everything my cousin said is correct. It’s just that when the official family succeeded me, I was far away in Fusang, and I didn’t have much friendship with the official family. It was really helpful.” Nothing. "
As soon as these words came out, the fourth wife was instantly awakened. "Yes, Gu Tingye is a Conglong hero. He has always been decent in front of officials. He must have a way to save his brothers." come out.
Gu Tingyu coughed violently, gritted his teeth and said, "Do you think Gu Tingye will save them? Stop dreaming." "
"That's not necessarily the case. It's your eldest room that has always treated him harshly, and it has nothing to do with our fourth and fifth rooms. "The fifth wife curled her lips and said.
Qin Hao didn't bother to watch them dog bite dog anymore. Anyway, he had already made a gesture. Even Xiao Qin couldn't say that he didn't try his best. He will take care of the next thing. Why did Tingye compete with these people?
In the following days, there were quarrels in Ningyuan Hou Mansion. It was said that Gu Tingyu was so angry that the doctor almost couldn't save him.
< p>Gu Tingye's attitude is also very tough. If he wants him to help plead for mercy, he must hold a clan meeting and record everything his mother Bai has done for the Gu family in the family tree, otherwise there will be no discussion.The two sides were in a stalemate for several days, and finally the balance was broken by several jailers. The person in the fourth room of the Gu family was probably too depressed from being imprisoned, so he actually provoked the jailer, and was beaten violently. The person in the fifth room of the Gu family and Gu Tingwei were frightened. Peed his pants.
Xiao Qin felt sorry for her son and couldn't bear it anymore. She agreed to Gu Tingye's request, and the fourth and fifth bedrooms also begged Gu Tingye to save him quickly.
Gu Tingyu was angry. He had to be bedridden with only his last breath.
Before his death, Gu Tingyu finally agreed to Gu Tingye's request and gave Gu Tingye the list of dowry left by the Bai family, which was regarded as buying him. A favor.
In less than a year, two princes of the Gu family died one after another, which was really unlucky.
Not long after Gu Tingyu was buried, Gu Tingye inherited it. The title of Marquis Ningyuan made Xiao Qin feel as uncomfortable as fried food. The only consolation was that Gu Tingye kept his word and Gu Tingwei was released.
Qin Hao didn't bother to pay attention to the bad things about the Gu family. , except for the day of Gu Tingyu's funeral and the day of the burial, Qin Hao spent the rest of the time at home with Yu Yanran.
As Yu Yanran's due date was getting closer, Qin Hao felt worried. The uneasiness is getting worse. In ancient times, giving birth to a child was undoubtedly a hellish experience for women, and there was a possibility of one or two lives.
On this day, Yu Yanran suddenly felt a stomachache, and Qin Hao. He quickly carried her to the delivery room, where Mrs. Wen and the doctor came quickly.
Just two hours later, Yu Yanran still did not give birth smoothly. Qin Hao could no longer sit still and pushed her. Open the door to the delivery room.
"Master Hou"
Qin Hao glared at Granny Wen, "Stop talking nonsense and do your job well." ”
Qin Hao killed many people when he was in Fusang, and his murderous intent was unconsciousWen Po was so frightened that she trembled with fear.
"Master Hou." Yu Yanran's voice was hoarse.
Qin Hao hurriedly came to her side, grabbed her hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, I'm here, it will be fine."
Yu Yanran smiled weakly, "Hou "Master, Yanran doesn't want to die. It's hard for Yanran to meet such a good husband, and she has only been blessed for a few years. Yanran really wants to grow old with the Marquis, just like her grandparents."
Yu. The old master and Mrs. Yu were considered a model couple in ancient times. The old master Yu was a disciple of Mrs. Yu's father, and later married this junior sister, and never took any concubines in her life.
The main reason why Mrs. Yu has no experience in internal struggles and cannot even deal with a Zhu Manniang is that she has no use for them.
Qin Hao wiped away the tears from the corners of Yu Yanran's eyes and comforted her softly, "Whatever stupid things you said, everything will be fine. Don't talk now, and save your strength to give birth to this unfaithful son for me." I'm going to spank him for torturing his mother so badly."
A smile appeared on Yu Yanran's pale face, and she nodded heavily, "Yes, spank him."
Outside the door, Qin Junye and Qin Liu were at a loss when they saw Qin Hao rushing into the delivery room. I don't know how long it had passed, but when they were suffering in their hearts, they suddenly heard a clear cry.
"Wow"
Qin Junye and Qin Liu finally felt relieved.
"Congratulations to Mr. Hou and Madam, they are twins of a dragon and a phoenix."
"A twin of a dragon and a phoenix will be rewarded with a son, and there will be many rewards."
Qin Hao looked at The two little balls of flesh wrapped in a ball on the bed looked at the weak Yu Yanran again, and couldn't help but sigh. No wonder it was so difficult to give birth, but she was pregnant with two.
After the delivery room was cleaned, Qin Junye and Qin Liu also came in. Both of them couldn't put it down and hugged the boy in it. They were so happy that they couldn't find the north.
Qin Hao shook his head secretly, hugged his daughter and sat next to Yu Yanran, "This girl will definitely look like you when she grows up. She must be a great beauty."
Yu Yanran smiled weakly , holding Qin Hao's hand with one hand, fell asleep.
The Dongchang Hou Mansion finally has the next generation of grandsons and granddaughters, so it is natural to celebrate. The Qin Liu family invited most of the nobles in Bianjing City to attend the birth of the two children. present.
