Chapter 191 Backyard and Court
Qin Hanzhang looked at Su Qianqian, the corners of his lips gradually rising: "Sure enough, you found a loophole. I only checked his parents and brothers.
According to his former colleagues, because he was a bastard and his mother died early, his stepmother did not take much care of him, so he joined the army early and later worked as a military officer. He then bought a house and separated from his family and no longer had any contact with his family. ”
Qin Hanzhang rubbed the scar at the corner of his eye, a little embarrassed: "But I overlooked his ex-wife. The divorce documents should be able to be found."
"Qianqian is meticulous and pays attention to details. If I didn't know your past, I would think you have done particularly delicate work. I heard that your needlework... is very interesting." The third old lady praised at the right time and in moderation.
Madam Qin picked up the tea bowl to hide the smile that she couldn't suppress.
"Ahaha, well, my works are mainly characterized by simplicity, childishness, and novelty." Su Qianqian laughed.
[I was shocked. It was so close to the truth.] Su Qianqian wiped her sweat quietly. Her job really required extremely high concentration and observation skills. Pursuing rigorousness and paying attention to details were basic requirements.
The old ladies looked at each other, went back and wrote down this sentence, and would ask Qin Hanjue what it meant later.
The second old lady waved her hands proudly: "It doesn't matter if I don't know those things that women use to while away their time. I can't hold an embroidery needle, but those girls who were good at needlework back then couldn't hold my bright silver spear!"
Madam Qin nodded approvingly: "Second son's wife's words are quite reasonable. There is no need to worry about the length of the length."
The second old lady puffed out her chest proudly.
"The case of the Liang Xun siblings will not be delayed too long. It will be brought to court for trial within half a month. The three courts will then join in the trial. This is also a major case that Da Qi has not had for many years. I think it will be full of difficulties." Madam Qin mentioned the case.
"However, these brothers and sisters have spared no effort for more than 20 years and dared to cry out for injustice in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice. They must have obtained a lot of evidence. We just wonder if there is someone interfering behind the scenes." Qin Hanzhang said.
"Half a month later... In previous years, when October arrived, the Emperor would take the concubines, court officials and their families to go hunting in autumn. This year, things are so complicated that I'm afraid they won't be able to go." Madam Qin thought of this.
Ever since the old Marquis Wuning died in battle, the Qin family, except for the widows or their husbands who had gone to war, had found excuses to shirk their responsibilities regarding the autumn hunt. If there is another imperial decree this year, the Qin family would have no excuse.
Su Qianqian had no interest in these bloody activities, so it would be best to cancel them. Her previous hobby was to see how handsome men made more money, and all her actions were based on these two points.
After chatting for a few more words, Su Qianqian said goodbye and returned to Tinglan Courtyard. Qin Hanzhang sent her back as usual and then returned to the study.
After taking a shower and changing clothes, Su Qianqian lay comfortably on the couch. She called out the system panel, took a look at the numbers on it, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Damn... the pillow is a bit hard, why don't you help me change it."
Fortunately, she was quick-witted and changed her words when the girls were all staring at her.
Su Ye took out an identical pillow with confusion and gave it to Su Qianqian to lean on. Seeing Su Qianqian nod with satisfaction, he carefully left.
[Tongzi, what’s going on? Why has the merit power increased so much? Where did three hundred and eighty thousand come from? It is understandable that the price of melons and beans has risen to 250,000. It is due to the power of merit. It has risen directly from 60,000 to 380,000! 】
Su Qianqian kicked her legs excitedly.
[I've said this is metaphysics, but it must be related to your saving people. Although Mr. Qiu is an ordinary man, he has not done any evil. You took the initiative to go back and save his life today, and you didn't save him for your own selfish interests. Your merit should be added points. 】
The system guessed at an explanation.
[I have also said that I am not a good person. Today's incident was purely accidental. For the sake of the relationship between Prime Minister Xue and my mother-in-law...]
[So you are not doing this for yourself, and you also saved Prince Xiang and Xue Wanning through Master Qiu. These two people are the male and female protagonists, so they should also get extra points! 】The system interrupted Su Qianqian and continued analyzing.
【is that so? If we can find the pattern of increasing merit power and work hard in this direction, it will not be difficult to gain 100 million merit power.
Fifty million melons and beans... At worst, I can sell all the antiques in this mansion in the mall, plus the fruits, vegetables and medicinal herbs I stored in the space, hahahaha... It won't be too long before I can go home! 】
Su Qianqian's eyes were shining as she looked forward to the near future.
[You don't want to be a good person, but you want to be a good thief. Do you think the mall is used to sell stolen goods?
Unless you have earned it with your own ability, if you send other people's things to the mall to sell, they will be confiscated by the mall, and you will also be fined: a fine of equal value will be deducted, and the more expensive the item, the more it will be deducted. 】
The system warned Su Qianqian seriously.
Sure enough, there wouldn't be such a big loophole. Su Qianqian was not discouraged: [That's okay. I have experience in making money. I will try to return before the Qin family is raided...]
Su Qianqian was dreaming sweet dreams and didn't know that the system had rolled its eyes and ignored her inability to see the situation clearly.
…
On the second evening, the second master who returned home first brought news: Prince Xiang was reprimanded by the emperor and confined to his own palace. He was not allowed to take a step out without the emperor's permission and was just waiting for news from Qiu Shi.
Prime Minister Xue was also taught a lesson by the emperor: The harem is in such a mess. How can he govern the country when he can't even manage his own home?
Prime Minister Xue is trying to push the new policy to the emperor, requesting a remeasurement of the land of the aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River in order to quell the resentment of the people whose land has been encroached upon and exploited.
In addition, taxes were re-checked to prevent wealthy families from relying on one person to enter officialdom to exempt the entire family from tax, or from falsely reporting the ownership of their land to evade tax.
The new policy that Prime Minister Xue wants to implement is supported by Grand Tutor Su and some civil servants, but is also opposed by the vast majority of court officials representing aristocratic families, and the situation is currently at a stalemate.
Now, because of these things happening in the backyard. The emperor made it clear that the new policy should be shelved for the time being and not mentioned again.
After the autumn harvest is the best time to measure the land and pay the new grain taxes, which is conducive to verification. The emperor has been persuaded and only needs to appoint officials. Now it has been shelved.
After the Second Master finished speaking, Madam Qin sighed, "It is indeed so. The affairs of the backyard must be related to the court, so they would resort to any means. Otherwise, it would not be so easy to make a move in the Prime Minister's Mansion."
The Second Master was assigned by the Second Mistress today to gather information from various places. After hearing what he got, he carried it on his back all the way back home, fearing that he would forget what others had said. Now he hurriedly told her the third thing.
"Although no decree has been issued, I heard that the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple have taken action. They may have received an oral order. It seems that they are preparing for the marriage. I wonder which princess or county lady it will be."
"Although Daliang was defeated in the war, there is nothing wrong with an alliance between the two countries to enhance diplomatic relations. Daliang also brought a legitimate princess. If she hadn't made a fool of herself at the palace banquet, she would have entered the harem."
Mrs. Qin said.
"Even if she doesn't enter the harem now, the princess of Daliang will definitely have a plan."
Su Qianqian interjected.
