Chapter 42: Blessing to the Heart
The case of the Ministry of War Arsenal's Arsenal Department is getting bigger and bigger, which can be said to have involved the attention of the entire capital, and everyone is paying attention to this matter. Compared with the Salt Administration case a few days ago, this case is close and involves more people naturally pay attention to it.
When news came out that Zhao Xuan, the doctor of the Arsenal Department of the Ministry of War, hanged himself and committed suicide, many people suddenly felt sad.
Especially after Zhang Jing from the East Factory personally took someone to confiscate Zhao Xuan's home, many officials became even more frightened and many people began to submit memorials to plead for mercy. The reasons were that there were a variety of words, and in general, they were just the same, and this was not right.
Xining Hou Mansion.
The entire Xining Marquis Mansion has been very busy these days. Although the Xining Marquis is thinking about his mistakes at home, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this matter is not yet settled. As long as the Qian family has no end to work, the Xining Marquis Mansion will not be completed.
In the living room of the Xining Hou Mansion, Xining Hou Song Yi had a gloomy face, reached out to pick up the teacup in front of him, and took a sip.
After looking at the middle-aged man sitting below, Song Yi's face became even more ugly. After a while, Song Yi put down the teacup in his hand and said to the middle-aged man: "What do you want to do? Where do you think the capital is?"
The middle-aged man didn't care about Song Yi's attitude, but just smiled and said, "Where is the capital? It's just a place."
Song Yi looked at the middle-aged man and reached out to put the teacup on the table: "If you say that, then from now on, the bridge will return to the bridge and the road will return to the road. Our Xining Hou Mansion can't afford to accompany you Qian's family. You can do whatever you want!"
Before the middle-aged man could speak, a woman came into the door, which was Mrs. Xining Hou.
"What's wrong? This is, how long have I left? Why did the quarrel start?" Mrs. Marquis of Xining walked to Mrs. Song Yi of Xining with a smile, then turned around and scolded the middle-aged man: "Don't talk to your brother-in-law like this, what do you think? Where have you learned the rules at home?"
This middle-aged man is no one else, but the legitimate son of the Qian family, Qian Liu, the younger brother of Mrs. Xining Hou.
Qian Liu shrugged his shoulders and looked indifferent. In fact, the Qian family did not respect Xining Hou Songyi. If the old man had not wanted to marry Xining Hou Mansion, how could his sister marry Xining Hou Songyi?
My sister was so outstanding back then, and many young talents liked her, and no matter how hard she turned out to be Song Yi, she was not the turn.
Seeing his younger brother's appearance, Mrs. Xining's Marquis's face also darkened. She sat on the chair and said lightly: "Since you don't want to speak well, then stop talking. Our small family in the Xining Marquis' Mansion is not as good as your Hejian Qian family. Come and see off guests!"
Xining Hou Songyi glanced at his wife and subconsciously shrank his neck. He had been ruined by this woman's unsalable attitude for the rest of his life.
In fact, Mrs. Xining knew very well that this time this time was not that easy. The last time she went to the Duke of England's mansion, she was valued by the Duke of England and met her. Mrs. Xining also knew that it was probably because of her daughter.
Although the British Duke did not say it too bluntly, the meaning was very obvious. This time the emperor was not targeting the Qian family in Hejian, nor the Hou Mansion in Xining.
For the Xining Hou Mansion and the Qian family, the best way is to do whatever the emperor asked him to do, and not be in front of him, otherwise even if the emperor cannot do what he wants, the Xining Hou Mansion and the Qian family of Hejian Mansion will feel that it will become the sacrifices for the emperor to exert his flag.
Although I really want to help the Qian family, Mrs. Xining also knows that this married woman and splashed water, she is worse than not to say something about it.
Seeing his younger brother's attitude today, Madam Xining Hou made up her mind that no matter whether she could help the Qian family this time, the Xining Hou Mansion would not participate. All the nobles remained silent and the British Duke's Mansion needed to avoid suspicion, it was definitely not the ones that the Xining Hou Mansion could join.
Although I don’t know why the emperor chose the Xining Marquis Mansion and what the emperor wants to do, the Xining Marquis Mansion cannot be a ghost blocking the way.
After hearing what his sister said and looking at her sister's appearance, Qian Liu hurriedly said, "Sister, no matter how we say this, we are all a family. The family just thinks that it is not suitable for Xining Hou Mansion to do things, so why did they go to the palace to apologize?"
The Madam of the Marquis of Xining smiled: "Do you think the Marquis of Xining betray you, right?"
Although Qian Liu didn't say anything, Mrs. Xining Hou knew that he had made a promise and sneered disdainfully. Mrs. Xining Hou pointed at Qian Liu and said, "I'm so arrogant!"
"Who doesn't know about you selling private salt in the capital? But before, everyone turned a blind eye, you can handle the civil servants, and our Xining Marquis Mansion is here to support us, so we didn't make a fuss."
"What secret do you think is? Everyone makes money from the salt farm, and no one knows who is in the bottom of it."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Marquis of Xining said directly: "I tell you, if you listen to us, then go back to Hejian Mansion obediently, find the imperial envoy, and confess everything about the Sun family."
"You can put the responsibility on Yao Renkang and Changlu Transportation Engineer Ding Youguang in Changlu Salt Field."
Qian Liu was stunned and his face darkened: "Sister, if you admit your guilt, it will be the crime of raiding the house and beheading him. How do you admit this crime? Do you want to use the Qian family to protect the Xining Marquis Mansion? This time I am not the only one who came to Beijing."
"There are many salt merchants from all over the world, and they will not watch the Qian family be cleaned up."
The Madam Xining Hou looked at Qian Liu and said for a while: "Do you actually think I abandoned the Qian family to protect the Madam Xining Hou Mansion?" When he said this, the Madam Xining Hou smiled and pointed out of the door and said, "Get out!"
Qian Liu bowed his hand with a dark face, turned around and walked out.
Mrs. Xining Hou shook her body, and Song Yi hurriedly held it aside, carefully lying on Ma's chest: "Madam, ma'am, don't be angry, don't be angry, you can't make a mistake, Qian Liu just speaks without saying anything."
Sitting down with a wry smile, the wife of the Marquis of Xining held the Marquis of Xining and said with a smile: "After so many years, my husband has been wronged."
"I know, the people of the Qian family think that marrying you is a grievance. Some people said that my grandfather was competing with the powerful, but only I know that marrying into the Xining Marquis Mansion is a blessing for me. I am very grateful to my grandfather for marrying me into the Xining Marquis Mansion."
"You have suffered a lot of grievances in the Qian family over the years. I know that this time I will not let you suffer such grievances again."
