Chapter 244 The Qin Family's Choice
As Xia Jingyun said, the Qin family has already exploded.

White banners have been hung around the mansion, announcing the certainty of death, and also warning everyone in the mansion to be careful not to go to the funeral.

The death of the eldest son, although some people in this big family must be indifferent, and some people are ecstatic, but for the few close relatives of Qin Yuwen who are in the main hall of the Qin family at this moment, they are undoubtedly deeply grieved.

Mrs. Qin threw herself on her son's corpse and cried until she almost fainted. The Patriarch of the Qin family stood aside with a cold face, holding back his grief and arranging the affairs of the residence.

Qin Li sat on the side blankly, with piercing sadness flowing silently in her misty eyes.

No matter what happened to Qin Yuwen when she was alive, since then, she has never had a big brother.

The elder brother who regarded her like a pearl and never let her be wronged in the slightest, now only has memories and no new stories.

She has always been determined and decisive in dealing with things. For the first time, she felt some regret. She shouldn't have caused the elder brother to suffer so much in the past few days. What if she was wrong?Wouldn't it be nice to let him go?

The old Patriarch walked in with a livid face and came to Qin Yuwen's corpse.

The Patriarch of the Qin family quickly helped his wife aside, the old Patriarch slowly lifted the white cloth, looked at the handsome face of his grandson who was still alive but could no longer open his eyes, and saw the arrow wound on his throat, his hands began to slow down. trembling slowly.

The Tranquility that once slept soundly in the swaddling baby, the ignorance that used to babble in front of him, the laughter that was once held on his shoulders, the immature child who was once held in the palm of his hand to inspect their own property
Scenes of the past flooded into the old man's mind in an instant, and then came to an abrupt end under the frozen death at this moment.

"My dear grandson, don't worry, grandpa will avenge you! Use the murderer's head to pay homage to your heroic spirit!"

He gritted his teeth, stood up slowly with his crutches in his hand, and ordered in a deep voice: "Prepare the car, the old man is going to enter the palace, and ask His Majesty to bring the head of the child surnamed Xia to Wen'er to be buried with him!"

He got up and walked out, and even glanced at Qin Li.

Qin Li clutched the corner of his clothes tightly, hesitated again and again, and finally couldn't help standing up to dissuade him: "Grandpa, there may be something strange about this matter, we might as well."

Snapped!
A slap was slapped on Qin Li's face without hesitation, and the fingerprints appeared clearly immediately, "Shut up!"

The old Patriarch glared angrily, "If you hadn't conspired with outsiders privately and made your elder brother ashamed, how could such troubles have happened!"

"If you hadn't gotten into Qian's eye and didn't want to help your elder brother, how could he have died on Changjie!"

"If you didn't have no sense of shame to advance and retreat, came to the door to beg for mercy, and let the little boy from Huangkou underestimate my Qin family, so that he had evil thoughts in his heart, how would he dare to assassinate your elder brother!"

"At this moment, in your elder brother's corpse hall, you still dare to defend the murderer. You are wasting your elder brother's love since childhood, you are wasting the Qin family's many years of kindness, and you are a Qin family!"

"I thought you could find out with your conscience and turn back when you lost your way, but who knows that you are still obsessed with your obsession. How could the Qin family have such a scoundrel like you!"

Qin Li was slapped and fell to the ground, covering her face, looking at her grandfather who she always felt loved and loved her, with a sad and mournful expression.

She finally understood that she was just a person who was loved.

Now that the house has collapsed, how can I still have my own love.

At this time, the Patriarch of the Qin family couldn't stand it any longer, and said: "Father, you can speak too much, A Li told me all these decisions, and this is also in line with the Qin family's usual strategy, I agree , not to be so"

Snapped!
The old Patriarch slapped his backhand again, "Then you should too!"

"As the head of the family, he can't even understand this matter, and he lacks discipline for his children, so that when such things happen, he dares to talk to the old man here!"

"Father!" The head of the Qin family is in his 40s, and he was in a hurry after being slapped like this, "Even if you want to find the murderer, there is an obvious clue here that you don't want to investigate? Wen'er is staying at the house." Well done, why did you go out, who lured him out, you don't even look at such obvious clues, just based on that sentence, do you identify the murderer as Xia Jingyun?"

The old Patriarch was taken aback, and stretched out his hand, "Where is the letter?"

"Burned."

The old Patriarch raised his hand again.

But at this moment, the concierge came over hesitantly, "Master, Mr. Qin, please see me."

"No! I don't know if there will be no guests in the mansion tonight?"

"He said that it was related to the death of the young master."

Everyone in the hall looked sideways.

A moment later, Qin Sichao, the prince of Qin Xiang in white, came in, and after bowing to everyone in the room one by one, he said in a warm voice: "Brother Qin is not a person of low fortune. After leaving this world to disturb the world, I think he has returned to the fairy world. Enjoying bliss, everyone is mourning and resigned. I took the liberty to disturb each other. I really didn’t reveal one thing. I couldn’t rest all night. I was also worried that I would miss the opportunity to arrest the murderer. I regret for life, so I came here. Please don’t blame me.”

The old Patriarch said coldly: "What's the matter?"

Qin Sichao said apologetically: "Brother Qin left the mansion yesterday, but the younger generation wrote to invite him."

!!!

Everyone in the Qin family stared at him immediately, and their expressions suddenly became unfriendly.

Qin Sichao sighed, "I didn't mean to lure Brother Qin out of the house, it was indeed something important, but I didn't expect to be killed by a villain on the way."

The old Patriarch suppressed his anger and said: "Junior, put away your nonsense, if you can't give the old man a satisfactory answer, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of the Qin Mansion properly today!"

Qin Sichao looked around, "Is it convenient to talk here?"

"There is nothing to say!"

Qin Sichao said softly: "It is reported by a servant that the wife of Shi Dingzhong, the former Minister of Rites who has been executed, is hidden in a Zhuangzi in the East City of the Qin family."

The face of the old Patriarch changed suddenly, and the Patriarch of the Qin Family and his wife were also very respectful.

Qin Sichao pursed his lips, his expression full of apology, "I quickly stabilized it, and wanted to invite Brother Qin to ask the truth in order to help, but I waited for Brother Qin for a long time, but I didn't expect that on the way Brother Qin encountered an accident."

Qin Sichao sighed, "And when I return to the mansion, the servant who reported to me has already committed suicide."

Everyone in the Qin family changed their colors in unison, and a burst of cold air suddenly permeated the whole body from the soles of their feet.

Qin Sichao said again: "Although I think I am frank, since this matter happened because of me, I can hardly shirk the blame. After I have reported the situation to you, I should report to the Black Ice Platform and the Ministry of Criminal Justice. If there is a need for interrogation, I will fully cooperate."

Seeing that the old Patriarch remained silent, the Patriarch of the Qin Family had no choice but to speak up, "Young Master Qin, we know about this matter, don't worry, as long as it really has nothing to do with you, our Qin Family is not unreasonable. However, if there is really another Hidden feelings, the Qin family will naturally not let my son die in vain just because of anyone's status!"

Qin Sichao cupped his hands and saluted, looking at Qin Yuwen who was lying on the ground, "Brother Qin and I were inseparable, and I am also deeply saddened by his death."

His eyes swept across the faces of the Patriarch of the Qin family and the old Patriarch, and slowly said: "If you can't write two characters of Qin in one stroke, since you are of the same clan, as long as you can arrest the real culprit, so as to comfort Brother Qin's spirit in heaven, if the Qin family is unable to catch you If the family doesn’t talk about the two families, I and the Prime Minister’s House should be obliged to do so.”

The old Patriarch said slowly: "Since we are of the same clan, if there is a need, the old man will not be polite."

Qin Yuwen bowed deeply, turned and left.

When he walked away, the head of the Qin family hurriedly said: "Father, didn't you say that you can't marry the Xiangfu? Qin Xiang mentioned it several times before, but you didn't take it up. Why did you agree now!"

The old Patriarch shook his head, "At this time and at that time, if we want to avenge Wen'er, we may not be able to do it alone."

He slowly sat down on the chair, as if quietly aged a few years.

He really didn't expect that the evil he planted back then would span decades and kill his own grandson.

If I hadn't been unable to control myself back then, if I had said something conscientious and brought their mother and daughter back to the Qin family, if I hadn't reached old age and found my conscience and rescued her, if I hadn't let my good grandson know that day
Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

The impermanence and pain of fate quietly crushed his spine which was no longer straight.

The Patriarch of the Qin family has always grown up under the pressure of his father, so he didn't say much when he heard the words, and said: "Father, from this point of view, there may be something else to this matter."

"Who else can pay so much attention to the affairs of the Shi family?"

The old Patriarch quietly broke free from the useless regret, snorted coldly, and interrupted him directly, "Just now I only had some doubts about Xia Jingyun, but now, I am six or seven percent sure! He must know In this matter, a careful plan was drawn up to put Wen'er to death! In the case of his assassination earlier, the mice on the Black Ice Terrace were all-pervasive, but they couldn't find the murderer? Maybe he directed and acted himself!"

The head of the Qin family felt dizzy when he heard it, and hurriedly said: "Father, to have such power in the capital, I am afraid that it is not something that a person who has just entered the capital for less than two months can do. And he and my Qin family only have such a small enmity. , so deliberate here, I can’t justify it! I think there is one person we have been missing, Dong”

"shut up!"

The old Patriarch stopped coldly, leaned on crutches, raised his head, and closed his eyes dejectedly, "Go and close the door."

The head of the Qin family hesitated and closed the door.

The old Patriarch looked at his son and lowered his voice, "Do you know the difference between the truth and the result?"

The head of the Qin family was startled.

The old Patriarch said slowly: "If the Qin family wants revenge, it must be successful. Do you understand? As for other things, let's think long-term! Otherwise, why do you think you should agree to Mr. Qin's words as a father?"

He looked at his son who was stunned in place as if struck by lightning, and patted him on the back lightly, "My father is not ignorant, he is sober! Who made such a sentence appear on the court at that time!"

He bent his back, opened the door by himself, walked out, and shouted in a deep voice: "Prepare the car! Enter the palace!"
