When Qin Hui pushed open the door again, he once again turned back into that cultured and refined imperial envoy daren who knew how to use money and power.
Today, the central inspection team carried out a comprehensive investigation in Marquis Jingan fu and received the enthusiastic support of the masses. In less than a day, the mission was successfully completed. Imperial Envoy daren Qin Hui had a cordial conversation with the various leaders of the marquis fu, expressing the court's concern and His Majesty's importance.
In the same reception hall, the atmosphere was completely different from the day before. Zhao Feihuang was full of smiles and asked with a double meaning: "Daren, are you satisfied with this result?"
Qin Hui smiled wholeheartedly and clasped his hands, replying: "It's breathtaking, breathtaking. But this Qin dares to ask, how did Miss Zhao do it?"
Zhao Feihuang pretended to be ignorant and smiled with pursed lips, replying: "I treat them like family, so of course they treat me like family."
"No, no, no."
Qin Hui did not give up and continued to ask, "I'm saying, how did everyone in Marquis Jingan fu remember this incident as if it was real in one night … …"
"It was real in the first place!"
Miss Zhao had a baffled expression and then put on a hurt expression, "Wuwuwu, even now, Imperial Envoy daren is still doubting this little girl, doubting the reputation of Marquis Jingan fu for being loyal to the country. This little girl really has no way to defend herself. This injustice is hard to redress. Without any choice, I can only die to redress this injustice … …"
Seeing that this Miss Zhao had the urge to act out again, Qin Hui was so frightened that he quickly stopped her. He already did not want to listen to that heart-wrenching drama again … … After all, the terrifying scene of the entire fu crying and the heavens collapsing and the earth splitting was something that the Imperial Envoy daren could not handle.
He laughed bitterly: "Since it's like this, then this Qin won't ask anymore.
Marquis Jingan fu has already provided enough evidence and testimony. What's next is to organize these things into a book and compile them. Then we can write memorials.
As for Ming Zhou's government and Six Fan School, we still need to rely on Older Brother Hu to make arrangements … … "
Hu Shouxin nodded. "I know what I'm doing."
This matter was not difficult — — if Six Fan School and the Ming Zhou government knew that the Marquis of Jing 'an fu was secretly concealing a demonic tool and had evidence, then this matter would be very difficult to resolve. After all, this was a serious crime. Even if they offered more bribes and used more connections, they would not be able to suppress this matter … … after all, whether money was more important or their official position was more important, the officials were very clear on this.
However, the most important problem was that Sun Lang had suppressed the matter of the demonic tool before it had even exploded. In the entire city of Mingzhou, there were no more than five people who knew the full story. It was extremely difficult to find any clues. Coupled with Hu Shouxin's reputation and connections as a general of the Heaven's Origin Sector, it was not difficult at all to turn the matter into an ironclad case.
Now, even if the Ming Zhou government and Six Fan School guessed that there was an inside story, they had no choice but to hold their noses and continue to cover it up. What was done could not be undone, and they would never be able to find a shred of evidence.
Also … if the case was overturned, and the criminal who entered the fu with weapons became the demonic tool mutated, then the relevant leaders of the Ming Zhou government and Six Fan School who handled the case would all have to settle the score. At the very least, they would have to bear the responsibility of being a leader and be guilty of negligence. If it was serious, they would be accused of colluding with the Marquis of Jing 'an fu. If it was light, they would lose their positions, and if it was heavy, they would be beheaded. Furthermore, if they followed the vine to the melon, they would implicate Hu Shouxin — — That was a f * cking general of the Heaven's Origin Sector, the famous ruffian Qiu Ba. Who knew how many generals and feudal officials he had a life and death relationship with.
— — Oh, so to say, for the sake of the truth and for the sake of the country, I have to throw myself in as well. I can't keep my position, I can't have my riches, I can't have my family, I can lose my life, and I have to f * cking offend the Heaven's Origin Sector and be hated by countless military officials. Why should I?
I'm not f * cking doing it anyway. If anyone wants to do this, I'll be the first to kill them.
Therefore, the relevant leaders' thoughts were generally like this. Hu Shouxin was very clear about their thoughts and was not worried at all.
— — But the premise was that the winds in the court were blowing in the current direction. Because the court's attitude was not firm and the imperial envoy's attitude was also very ambiguous, the officials knew this in their hearts, so they were not panicking at all.
If the situation was reversed and the Marquis of Jing 'an fu was in trouble, then these officials would definitely be decisive and cut off their tails. They would fight to the death for survival and take the initiative to surrender.
Thinking of this, Hu Shouxin glanced at Qin Hui without batting an eyelid.
Honorable younger brother Qin … — — don't make a mistake.
Qin Hui did not seem to notice and smiled: "Now, the matter of the Marquis of Jing 'an fu has been completed. This official will return to Zhong Yi Building and begin organizing the memorials. After the memorials have been organized, I will send them to elder brother Hu and young miss Zhao to review and correct. After confirming that there are no mistakes, the three of us will personally seal them and send them to the capital on a flying horse.
How about it? "The imperial envoy was on behalf of the heavens to patrol and investigate cases under imperial edict. They were directly responsible to the Emperor. The memorials they spoke of could bypass the various departments and reach the Emperor's desk. Even the high officials of the border and first-rank officials did not have the right to interfere and review them. It could be said that the Emperor's grace and the Emperor's life were both more important than a mountain. Under this kind of situation, for the Qin imperial envoy's memorials to be reviewed by Hu and Zhao, this was a bit … — — rebellious.
In the end, Hu Shouxin was still a loyal soldier of the Empire and a patriotic citizen. For a moment, he could not accept this kind of lawless setting and hesitantly said: "This … — — isn't too good."
Qin Hui said seriously: "Brother, you trust me, and I also trust you. It's not that I'm being coy, but this matter is too important. We have to be careful. There can be no concealment or selfishness between us.
Brother, only the few of us know about today's matter. Some things can be said clearly. What I've done is already tantamount to deceiving the Emperor. Even if I die ten thousand times, I can't absolve myself from the blame. But because this matter concerns Empress Tensei, the slightest carelessness could shake the country … "
He sighed: "It's only been a little more than two years since the end of the war. The people have been able to recuperate and the world is peaceful. I'm also a soldier of Tianyuan. I know that peace is not easy to come by. I can't bear to see this country in turmoil again. So, I can only come up with this plan and conspire with my brother and the others to cover up this matter temporarily. Whether it's right or wrong to plot again can only be left to the judgment of future generations …"
Hearing this, Hu Shouxin was touched and held Qin Hui's hand: "Brother …"
Qin Hui also held Hu Shouxin's hand. The two old soldiers of Tianyuan treated each other with sincerity and were congenial. It was really touching.
Zhao Feihuang moved his eyes away as if nothing had happened. He secretly clenched his fists, as if he were having a hard time holding it back.
Thankfully, Qin Hui felt that he could not keep up the act anymore. After all, there were no pure bad guys in the world. Even a guy like Qin Hui had the most basic sense of shame and guilt as a human being. Alas, Hu Shouxin, it's your fault for choosing the wrong path. It's your fault for standing on the wrong side. It's your fault for being too close to that person back then.
However, it's perfectly normal. It's all destined.
It's your fault for being generous and righteous. It's your fault for being upright. It's your fault for being honorable. It's your fault for being honorable.
In this ugly world, there is no room for righteous aliens. Heroes will not die a good death. This is a truth that I've long understood.
Yes, it was impossible for good people to survive, and it was impossible for righteous people to survive … In this world, those who valued righteousness over profit would die without a complete corpse, while those who valued profit over righteousness would get promoted and become rich. The principles of sages and so-called morals were nothing more than tools to fool the masses, while those who were bold and shameless would be able to obtain even more. This wasn't the sophistry of despicable villains, but rather the bloody examples that I had seen and heard in my life. I had no choice but to admit and accept this bloody fact. After all …
After all, even that person, who was a grand marshal with a noble character and a great reputation like a saint, whose martial arts and divine abilities were as powerful as the rebirth of the God of War, still died without a proper burial ground and died without knowing why!
Even such a person died without a sound. Who do you think you are, Hu Shouxin?
Since the battle on the Great Desolate Mountain, I've seen through it completely. I don't want to fight against this world, so I've attached myself to it.
So, I'm sorry, General Hu.
This Qin is a despicable person. This Qin has long seen through everything. This Qin has compromised, this Qin has attached himself to it. This Qin wants to step on your bones and become a Marquis.
Because that person is already dead. The things that he once showed you and everyone else, the light that everyone admired and followed, have all collapsed with his death.
This world is still the same as before. It will always sink into depravity and darkness. No one can change all of this with their own strength. You've resigned because of this, and I've abandoned my past because of this.
Qin Hui lowered his eyes. The last trace of hesitation and pity was cut off.
His smile became even more sincere. He gripped Hu Shouxin's hand tightly. "So, I know that Elder Brother believes in me. But this time, you have to listen to me.
After all, you can't make a single mistake. You have to be very, very careful. You have to read this memorial a few times … "
Hu Shouxin nodded slowly and said solemnly, "I understand.
Since Brother has shouldered the responsibility of a sea of blood for me, I won't be unreasonable. I'll read this memorial. "
Qin Hui smiled and said, "Since it's like this, then Younger Brother will go back first. Elder Brother, please do as you please."
He seemed to know that Hu Shouxin and Zhao Feihuang had something to talk about. He tactfully stood up and left. Without waiting for Hu Shouxin to urge him to stay, he pushed open the door and left with a smile. He left with a smile, looking like he had no ill feelings and went to gather the imperial envoy guards.
Once the imperial envoy left, the atmosphere in the hall became strange. The smile on Hu Shouxin's face gradually disappeared. He asked faintly, "Where's Sun Lang?"
Zhao Feihuang showed a moved expression. Both hands clasped in front of his chest, he said emotionally, "Sun Lang, he, of course, is running around for the safety of Marquis Jingan fu and me. After all, this is his home, his son's home, a place filled with our children and grandchildren … …"
Hu Shouxin said coldly, "He didn't run off to play again, right?
I thought he would keep an eye on the imperial envoy all day and not let go. "
Zhao Feihuang said with a smile, "With Sun Lang's personality, if you let him keep an eye on Official Qin all day, there are only two outcomes. The first is that he can't resist playing tricks on the imperial envoy and tormenting him until he becomes paranoid. The second is that he gets impatient and directly blows Official Qin's head apart. After all, keeping an eye on one person all day is also a boring job … … Uncle Hu, I'm afraid you don't want to see either of these situations."
Hu Shouxin put on a fake smile and said, "In other words, he's doing this for my own good?"
Who knew that Miss Zhao would actually sigh softly, "That's right … … this little girl is very envious. Sun Lang is very attentive to your matters."
Hu Shouxin was silent.
Zhao Feihuang continued, "When Sun Lang left today, he asked me to pass on a message to Uncle Hu. Think more about your wife and children."
Hu Shouxin faintly said, "This Hu knows what to do."
Miss Zhao smiled faintly and said, "Indeed, when you have someone you like and care about, before you do anything, you will consider the consequences. There will always be a layer of apprehension. Even though there are some restrictions, but your heart will still feel happy. The so-called love is just like this. In this world, there really isn't any kind of feeling that can surpass love … …"
Old Hu glanced at Zhao Feihuang and lightly shook his head. Then he stood up, "This Hu will also take his leave. With Sun Lang keeping an eye on things, nothing will happen to the Marquis Jingan fu. Miss Zhao can rest assured."
Zhao Feihuang softly said, "Please also ask Uncle Hu not to let Sun Lang worry."
Hu Shouxin waved his hand, "This Hu knows what to do."
He let Miss Zhao not see him off anymore and left the reception pavilion alone. He avoided the imperial envoy guards and left the marquis fu through the side door. A moment later, a figure flashed by and stopped behind him.
Hu Shouxin clasped his hands behind his back and calmly said, "Double the number of people monitoring the imperial envoy guards. Closely monitor any letters and news that leak out, especially the imperial envoy daren.
In addition, increase the attention on the Mingzhou yamen, Six Fan School, and the other yamens. If there are any strange movements, report back immediately. Also … … "
He slightly closed his eyes to hide the cold light.
Tensei Province is very powerful, and this Hu is not a pushover. Qin Hui's position is unclear, but in Mingzhou, he can't do anything!
Increasing the number of people and strengthening the surveillance was to prevent the imperial envoy guards from feigning civility with Qin Hui and secretly passing on information. Paying close attention to the various yamens in Mingzhou was to prevent Qin Hui from secretly communicating with them and adding to the variables. There were many wanderers who wandered the gray areas of Mingzhou. They had eyes and ears on both sides of the law. Any movement in Mingzhou could not escape Hu Shouxin's eyes.
Hu Shouxin narrowed his eyes and gave out orders one after another. All the ranger forces in the Ming province, as well as the connections and forces that Hu Shouxin had accumulated over the past twenty years on the battlefield, were mobilized. This force could even affect the capital. The posthouses on the way from the Ming province to the capital, and even the spies in the Heavenly Policies Department would pay close attention to what the ambitious princess of the Empire would do.
Brother Qin, don't let me down … …
Empress … … This country is protected by the blood and sacrifice of countless heroes. I won't allow you to mess around.
Empress of Heaven, my country. I've fought for you for half my life, and you've repaid me with luxurious clothes and jade food. I'll keep my promise, just like before.
Sun Lang, Sun Lang … …
And my wife, my daughter, and all of you … … When the dust settles and I've completed my final mission, I'll accompany you to live in seclusion in the mountains and never be separated … …
Come.
