The eldest lady just wants to be a crazy beauty

Chapter 48 Dilemma
Now, he is just a gambler.

Qin Ruizhi sighed, adding a bit of sadness.

General Hongying has fallen to this point, and his son cannot live up to expectations. It is really pitiful and pitiful.

"Huh~"

Suddenly, Qin Qingyue's voice broke the awkward silence. He suddenly got up from the chair and walked to the simple bed made of door panels to study for himself. "Is it really Zheng Pin? If I remember correctly, he seemed to have been transferred because he was named on the gold list. What kind of official position did he hold in Xiangzhou? He should be in Xiangzhou, why would he appear here?"

Qin Qingyue's curiosity jumped and he asked warily: "Do you know Zheng Pin?"

"Of course I do! I don't know all the young masters in Kyoto." Qin Qingyue said and sat back on the chair again, leaning his body with a cynical look and crossing his legs, "But we don't know each other well, so we can't play together. Go. He is good at reading and learning, and he only wants to be an official and rise to the top. Those things bother me the most.

But, speaking of which, what happened to him?Why does it appear at home?And it looked like he was seriously injured! "

"Oh, it's hard to explain in words." Aunt Qiu shook her head, "We don't know what happened, so we can only wait until he wakes up and ask him. By the way, Ruizhi, has he told you anything before? "

"I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything. I just said that I had something important to ask for help. My uncle was not here, and I wanted to find my mother. I took him to Xikuoyuan, and Xikuoyuan was locked. I originally wanted him to go to the state government office. , but it was too late, so I kindly took him in for a night, and then he was hunted down by a group of unknown people."

Qin Ruizhi was still shocked when she thought about what happened last night.

However, it was precisely because of this that she suddenly realized that the group of people with unknown origins did not hesitate to break into Gaofu and kill Zheng Pin. This showed that there must be something detrimental to them about Zheng Pin.

It might be Zheng Pin himself, or it might be something Zheng Pin is carrying.

Qin Ruizhi's eyes narrowed slightly. She recalled that when she first met Zheng Pin, he was covered in mud and hunched over. Other than that, he had no luggage on him.

But after pulling out Zheng Pin's arrow and applying medicine, it was discovered that Zheng Pin was not really hunchbacked. His hump was cut off by an assassin in black last night and left in the yard.

Still in the yard.

Qin Ruizhi remained calm and yawned, "Auntie, I'm hungry."

The meaning couldn't be more obvious.

"I'm hungry, then let..." Aunt Qiu waved her hand, remembering that Xiaonian was gone, there were only a few of them left in the house, and there were no other servants available, and she sighed deeply, "Then Auntie will cook for you. Bar."

Before leaving, he glanced at Zheng Pin again, "You guys keep an eye on him and tell him not to move around when he wakes up. If the wound opens, it will be in trouble."

Then he went to cook.

Qin Qingyue sat still and kept looking at Zheng Pin.

Qin Ruizhi stepped up and kicked her, "Auntie is going to cook, aren't you going to help?"

"Help?" Qin Qingyue glanced at the corner of his mouth, "Cooking? That's what the servants do. I'm a young master and I never cook."

"This is the Gao family in Puzhou, not the Qin family in Kyoto. If you don't help with the cooking, there will be no food for you."

Qin Ruizhi said seriously, and it didn't look like he was joking at all.

Qin Qingyue had to admit defeat, "Okay, just go."

After saying that, he also went with Aunt Qiu.

After Aunt Qiu and Qin Qingyue left, Qin Ruizhi returned to the yard to look for the hump that had been cut off from Zheng Pin last night, and soon found it under a leaning low tree.

When I opened it, I saw several old clothes. They were shaken out layer by layer, revealing a scroll wrapped in cowhide. When I opened the scroll, the picture showed a brocade show. The middle was hollowed out and a piece of paper was embedded. It said something about Xiangzhou coining money. Workshop matters.Qin Ruizhi had heard about the Xiangzhou Money Casting Workshop, which was the source of funds for King Xiang.

However, this coin-making workshop did not belong to King Xiang, but was only established in Xiangzhou, and gave King Xiang [-]% of it, in exchange for which King Xiang turned a blind eye.

As for where the other [-]% of the silver coins produced from the coin-forging furnaces were shipped, King Xiang had no problem with them.

According to this book, the owner of the coin-casting workshop in Xiangzhou was named Tongli Ting.

As for Tongli Court, Qin Ruizhi knew it.

He was originally a lieutenant under General Chai Longyu of Zhenguanyong. He was executed six years ago for embezzling military pay.

At that time, there were people with ulterior motives who accused Tongli Ting of embezzling Mo's military salary at the instigation of Chai Longyu, and the embezzling Mo's military salary also filled Chai Longyu's private treasury.

Because of this incident, General Chai was almost confiscated and his family was exterminated. Later, Concubine Chai and the Sixth Prince knelt in front of the palace for three days and three nights before begging the emperor for mercy and pardoning Chai Longyu.

However, after this incident, the emperor never summoned Chai Longyu again. The 30 troops led by the Chai family were stationed in Beiting and seemed to have been forgotten. No merit was awarded, no reward was given, and even military pay was often in arrears.

The dead people came back to life, and even did some earth-shattering things in the dark world. Who would believe that there was no backer behind them.

Therefore, at the end of this bookcase, it is written that Tongli Ting requested to go to Beijing to meet the saint and personally identify the murderer behind the scenes.

Seeing this, Qin Ruizhi understood.

Although she still doesn't know the situation of Tongli Court, based on Zheng Pin's current experience, Tongli Court is in danger, so the confession carried by Zheng Pin is the only clue to the coin workshop.

But it is obvious that Zheng Pin was hunted down just for this confession, and the person chasing Zheng Pin was the master behind Tongli Ting.

So, now that Qin Ruizhi has read this confession, she will also become the target of public criticism.

Qin Ruizhi quickly rolled up the scroll, stuffed it into cowhide, wrapped it in old clothes, and stuffed it back under the low tree, as if she had never seen the confession before, then pretended to be calm and returned to the side hall, pretending that nothing happened.

At the corner on the verandah side, Qin Qingyue took everything in sight.

The package under the bushes lay there quietly, as if it had countless tentacles, tempting him to go.

To take, or not to take.

After taking the package, destroying the body and killing traces, and then killing Zheng Pin, all the clues to the coin workshop will be cut off, and then King Liang and General Chai will be safe.

But if he takes the package and kills Zheng Pin, the Gao family, his sister and mother who are involved will not be able to separate themselves from each other, and they will only die.

Dilemma.

In the end, Qin Qingyue decided to give up and turned to the kitchen. When he saw Aunt Qiu washing vegetables, he rolled up his sleeves to help.

Aunt Qiu didn't even raise her head, "Qingyue, you're back so soon. Did you ask your sister what she wants to eat?"

Qin Qingyue replied: "I walked halfway and then came back. I don't want to care about what she eats. She didn't even touch her hands when we were cooking. She still wants to eat. I don't care what she eats. She eats whatever she wants."

"You kid, why are you still angry with your sister?"

Aunt Qiu smiled, but she wasn't really angry. She finished washing the dishes and started cooking.
