After my rebirth, I married my ex-husband and his uncle

Chapter 47
After the court meeting, all officials dispersed.

Just as Zhang Shangshu came to his senses, he subconsciously moved his goatee mustache, then slapped his thigh, and rushed out aggressively.

"I said, Lord Qin, you are really not kind," Zhang Shangshu caught up with Zhenbei Hou Qinshuo, and while following Qin Shuo's pace, he complained in Qin Shuo's ear, "Since you already know that your majesty is going to die I was in charge of the Mingdeng tragedy, why didn't you tell me."

After hearing this, Qin Shuo kept walking, glanced sideways at Zhang Shangshu and said, "What's the difference between what I say and what I don't say, Zhang Lao can change His Majesty's mind?" Qin Shuo patted Zhang Shangshu on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Benhou didn't tell you because he didn't want Mr. Zhang to be sad in advance. At this age, you can be happy for a while."

"You!" Zhang Shangshu couldn't refute, because what Qin Shuo said was right. Even if he knew in advance, His Majesty's intentions couldn't be changed just by changing his mind, but he could only grit his teeth and say, "The old man should really thank you." Lord Hou."

Qin Shuo was also very thick-skinned, and accepted Zhang Shangshu's "thank you" frankly, and said, "You're welcome, you and I are both officials in the same dynasty, and it is appropriate to take care of each other."

Zhang Shangshu: ...

**
Zhenbeihou Mansion, Fenghua Xiaozhu.

Qin Fenghua was leaning on the small table next to the window, looking out of the window, there were piles of unchecked accounts on the table not far away, but she was obviously not in the mood to continue to manage accounts today.

Wu Tong brought a bowl of almond tea, and when he came in, he saw his young lady looking pensive.

"Miss, you want almond tea." Wu Tong walked to Qin Fenghua's side and reminded him in a low voice.

"Ah? Oh." Qin Fenghua took the almond tea from Wutong's hand, took a sip, and put it down.

Wu Tong saw that his young lady was frowning, so he said: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Wu Tong didn't understand, why Miss and Rong Shizi had been like this since they came back from traveling together last night, with a preoccupied look.

Qin Fenghua did not answer Wutong's words directly, but asked: "At this time, father should go back to the palace, right?"

Wu Tong was stunned, and said: "Yes, Miss, Master Hou has returned."

"Where is father now?" Qin Fenghua asked.

"I heard that Master Zhang was discussing important matters in the study." Wu Tong said.

Qin Fenghua stood up suddenly, lifted her skirt and ran out: "I'm going to the study to find my father."

"Hey," before Wu Tong could react, the lady had already turned a corner and ran out of the door, disappearing, she had to put down the tray in her hand, and chased after her: "Miss, wait for the servant girl."

Qin Fenghua trotted all the way to the outside of Qin Shuo's study, but was stopped by the guards outside the study door: "Miss, Master Hou is talking about things inside. It's not appropriate for you to go in now."

Qin Fenghua didn't intend to force his way in at first, so he took a breather and said calmly: "Then you go in and report to father, I'll wait outside the door."

Inside the study.

Qin Shuo and Zhang Shangshu are playing chess.

Zhang Shangshu picked up a black chess piece from the chess box, rubbed and fiddled with it repeatedly in his hand: "Master Hou, where do you think your majesty is singing?"

Qin Shuo leaned forward slightly, lowered his head to study the chess game seriously, and did not answer Zhang Shangshu's words.

"I am the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. I have never tried a case, and I am not good at breaking prisons." Zhang Shangshu continued to play with the black chess in his palm, and continued, "Why did your majesty appoint me as the presiding officer of this case?"

Qin Shuo concentrated on studying the chess game, but still didn't speak.

Zhang Shangshu continued to ponder: "Do you think His Majesty wants me to have a higher trial, or a minor trial?"

Just as Zhang Shangshu was figuring it out by himself, the guard at the door pushed the door in and said, "Master Hou, Missy is asking to see you outside the door."

Qin Shuo let out an "oh" and asked, "Miss, what did you say for business?"

"Miss said she came here for what happened last night."

Qin Shuo thought for a moment after hearing this, and said, "Then let her in."

Zhang Shangshu heard Qin Shuo let his daughter in, so he said mysteriously: "I heard that the daughter of the Hou family happened to be at the scene of the crime last night?"

"Yes," Qin Shuo replied in a low voice, and continued to look down at the chessboard.

After a while, Qin Fenghua came in and saluted, "Father, Uncle Zhang."

"Hey!" Zhang Shangshu responded with a smile.

This is a ready-made witness!He must know more than an outsider like him. He will ask about the situation now, otherwise there will be no chance in the future. He dare not summon the lady of the Zhenbeihou Mansion to the court.

"Girl, here you come." Qin Shuo glanced at the chair next to him and said, "Sit there."

Qin Fenghua sat down as promised.

Qin Shuo turned around and glanced at Zhang Shangshu who was opposite him: "Go on."

Zhang Shangshu: ...Did you listen to what I just said?
But now that he is in someone else's house, he has something to ask Qin Shuo, so he can only continue: "I mean, does Your Majesty want me to make this case bigger or smaller?"

Qin Fenghua was surprised that the emperor wanted Zhang Yi to try this case.

Qin Shuo thought for a long time, and finally found where he wanted to place his pieces on the chessboard, so he said while placing the pieces, "What do you think?"

"I said? I came to ask you because I didn't know. If I could explain why, would I still be wasting time with you? What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhang Shangshu was angry, and seeing Qin Shuo The move was decided, he picked up the black chess piece that had been honed for a long time in his hands, and made a "snap" with anger.

"Hey, it doesn't count, the move I just made doesn't count." Seeing that the situation was not good, Qin Shuo quickly regretted the move.

Zhang Shangshu was almost laughed out of anger. Qin Shuo, a famous chess player in the officialdom, not only played badly, but also badly played chess.

He immediately grabbed Qin Shuo's hand that wanted to regret the move, and flatly refused, "No!"

When it comes to playing chess, Qin Shuo has a strong desire to win and lose, and is also a rascal. He threatened: "If you don't make me regret the game, I will see you off."

Zhang Shangshu heard it, it meant to let him go.No matter how much he gritted his teeth and scolded Qin Shuo for being shameless, but he had to bow his head under the eaves, so he let go.

So Qin Shuo was satisfied and took back the wrong white stone.

Qin Fenghua, who witnessed the whole process from the side, covered his face in shame. His father couldn't see it. The stinky chess basket was worthy of the name, and he was still playing around at his age.

Zhang Shangshu's chess skills are not high, and Qin Shuo has been messing around and playing around, and he lost the game in a short while.

Zhang Shangshu, who was forced to lose the game, turned green with anger, but compared to that, Qin Shuo felt relieved and happy.So he threw the rest of the white pieces back into the chess box, and said happily: "Okay, let's talk about business now!"

Zhang Shangshu: ... co-author, did I fart just now?
Qin Fenghua covered his face: ... It's time to get down to business.
