Chapter 329 Returning Home to Visit Relatives
Almost at the same time.
Cuihua Hutong, Qin family.
"Admiral Feng has been imprisoned?"
Qin Chichu was very surprised when he heard the news, "So soon?"
Among the clues investigated by Qin Chi, it was found that Admiral Feng and Lord Yang had a close relationship. He guessed that Admiral Feng might be an important chess piece of the former crown prince.
Qin Chi was thinking about what to do next.
"Sir, should we go to the Imperial Prison to investigate?" Qin Yi asked tentatively.
"How many lives do you have to sneak into the imperial prison?"
Qin Chi knew that this matter was very dangerous and might result in casualties. He was not happy at the thought of casualties, but he did not have to investigate the matter. "Don't act rashly without my order."
"Yes, sir."
Qin Yi stepped back.
Song Jin, who was listening quietly at the side, finally had the chance to say, "Old Master Yang should be anxious."
"He should have received the news, but I don't know if he knows about the impeachment of the Yuan family. If he knows, it will be interesting to watch."
Qin Chi and Song Jin analyzed the current situation. "On the surface, the Yang family has the upper hand, but in reality, it is not much better than the Yuan family. The Yang family's advantage probably comes from another master, and this master is quite capable."
This time, all the members of the Yuan family were arrested.
Officials from the six ministries and the military camp all took action against the Yuan family. Most of the evidence of the Yuan family's illegal activities was provided by their superiors or superiors.
What does this mean? It means that the former crown prince's power has infiltrated the entire court, including the army.
The more Qin Chi thought about it, the more fearful he became.
"My wife, I will go back to Huizhou to visit my relatives in a few days. Are you ready? Things are going better than I expected, or we can leave Beijing early." Qin Chi did not expect that Emperor Ming Cheng would be so cooperative.
This is probably a common problem among emperors.
What he feared most was that his ministers would form cliques for personal gain.
Song Jin knew that he was going back to visit his family. "To be honest, I don't really want to leave Beijing at this time. Rather than going back to Huizhou at this time, I want to know the fate of my enemies first."
"We have been rewarded, and if we don't leave now, we will be in trouble."
"Did you make an eye?"
"Before, I stayed indoors, waiting for the reward from the court. These few days, I am preparing to return home. Perhaps I can use the fact that my wife is pregnant as an excuse to say that you should not travel by boat. However, this is a rare opportunity to return home to visit your family. If you miss this opportunity, you don't know when you will be able to return next time."
Qin Chi was also conflicted.
Song Jin has been pregnant for more than seven months and is still more than two months away from giving birth. It is impossible for her to wait until after giving birth to go back.
However, in order to avoid Song Jin from being tired, Qin Chi has decided to slow down the journey and take a boat when necessary. It just so happens that Song Jin does not get seasick. Although it takes longer to take a boat, it is much more comfortable than taking a carriage. If you feel uncomfortable during the journey, you can stop and rest at any time. With Doctor Jing and the midwife accompanying him, there is no need to worry about accidents.
Song Jin also thought of these situations, so he said: "I don't have anything to prepare. Aunt Long has already prepared everything I need."
Even if I have to go back to Huizhou.
Since she is pregnant, she must bring enough people with her.
The midwife hired earlier had agreed with the other party whether she wanted to go on the long journey with him. If she didn't want to go, she would take the silver and send her home. If she went with him, she would receive a reward.
It can be said that this reward is more than a midwife could earn in two or three years of hard work delivering babies. Upon hearing the amount of money, the two midwives immediately said they would go with them.
This is better.
Not all the servants in the mansion will follow you back to Huizhou.
Old man Hong stayed to guard the house, but actually he had other things to do and would not leave Beijing easily.
In order to keep someone to cook and wash clothes for Old Man Hong, Qin Chi asked Mrs. Pan and Cook Feng to stay as well. Secondly, Qin Chi saw the maid Xiao Fu, who was bought midway, and it was unknown whether she was well-trained or not. Qin Chi simply asked Xiao Fu to stay as well and asked her to clean the rooms in the backyard when she was free.
Doctor Jing and his disciples want to go with them.
In fact, Doctor Jing could have just gone with him, but his apprentice was worried and insisted on following him back to Huizhou.
Song Jinzai asked the old friend that Dr. Jing had asked for help, "Who is taking care of that person now?"
"His stroke symptoms have improved a lot, and he has no problem with his daily life. He has returned to live in Fengning Hutong. His son and daughter-in-law have been arrested, but he still has a grandson."
The person who answered Song Jin was Mu Ting.
Mu Ting added: "Doctor Jing asked Manager Song to visit him from time to time and bring him medicine and food."
Song Jin just asked and didn't mean anything else.
After what happened at the pharmacy, Doctor Jing didn't know how to face his old friends, because his momentary kindness almost implicated the people in the pharmacy and Song Jin.
Song Jin didn't blame him for this.
He has himself to blame.
Therefore, when the old friend asked to go home, Doctor Jing did not stop him. Instead, he went to see him every once in a while, took his pulse and changed his medicine prescription. After this period of recuperation, he has recovered a lot.
Seeing that Song Jin didn't say anything, Mu Ting didn't say anything either.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Qin Chi came in from outside in casual clothes. He went out today to see Lu Yanji and tell him that he was going home to visit his relatives. He also asked him if he had any letters to bring back.
Lu Yanji was naturally delighted.
He immediately said that he had it and would send it to his house later.
Everyone in the alley saw the Qin family's comings and goings. It can be said that the highest-ranking official in the entire Cuihua Hutong is now Qin Chi. Before Qin Chi came, most of the officials living in this alley were below the sixth rank, and there was not even one who was of the fifth rank.
It was a fine day.
Early in the morning, several carriages were parked in front of the Qin family's door.
Things were constantly being moved out of the Qin family and put into the carriage, and soon the carriage was filled up with things.
Except for cars with people in them.
Qin Chi held Song Jin's arm and went out.
When Song Jin came out, she was wearing a veil on her head. The neighbors standing far away only knew that it was her, but could not see her face clearly. Moreover, when she came out, Song Jin got on the carriage directly.
Qin Chi whispered something to the driver, Old Li, then stepped onto the shaft and was about to bend down to get into the carriage.
"Master Qin, are you going back to your hometown to visit your relatives?"
A man's voice came from the door of Dong's house.
Qin Chi paused and looked in the direction of the voice.
It was Dong Xingde with a smile on his face.
When Qin Chi first saw this man, he was stunned for a moment. The gloom on Dong Xingde's body disappeared, and the whole person seemed to be reborn. It was heard that he was transferred to the Dali Temple to work not long ago.
Later, he was still his colleague.
Qin Chi quickly regained his composure and politely bowed to Dong Xingde: "My apologies, Master Dong."
"You're welcome."
Dong Xingde bowed in return, "I wish you a safe journey."
"Thank you for your good words. Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
The two waved goodbye.
Qin Chi turned around and got into the car casually.
The group set off and left Beijing.
