Chapter 335 My Father's Exemplary Demeanor
After receiving Qin Jinzhi's message, Pei Jinnian waited at the capital city government office after finishing his shift.
As night fell, Pei Jinnian wondered whether he should send someone to the Prince's residence to inquire.
Just as he was about to get up, Qin Jinzhi suddenly appeared in front of Pei Jinnian.
Pei Jinnian was so startled that he fell back into his chair.
Qin Jinzhi looked down at him and said, "The Sixth Prince is dead. You have one day to keep the news under wraps."
After saying that, Qin Jinzhi left Kyoto Prefecture.
The night air was cool, and Pei Jinnian felt a chill all over his body.
The princess actually killed the prince!
Pei Jinnian had no time to be afraid.
It was already an immense favor that Qin Jinzhi was here to inform him of this news.
If he arrives in Kyoto tomorrow and finds the Sixth Prince dead in prison...
His Majesty will be furious.
He quickly summoned his men to the prison.
The sixth prince died in the same manner as Yang Rong.
Pei Jinnian ordered his men to suppress the news.
The next day, when Pei Jinnian went to court, he vomited blood and fainted in front of all the civil and military officials.
The imperial physician examined the patient and found that he had been poisoned.
This poison was extremely vicious, and it took the combined efforts of two heads of the Imperial Medical Academy to save Pei Jinnian's life.
When Liu Yiyi returned to the Imperial Hospital with Sun Yuanzheng, she glanced back at Pei Jinnian lying on the hospital bed.
This guy actually dared to poison himself with such a strong poison.
If they hadn't arrived in time, this poison would have really killed Pei Jinnian.
On the second day after Pei Jinnian fell into a coma due to poisoning, the Sixth Prince was found dead in the capital city.
The manner of Yang Rong's death was the same.
After examination by coroner Chidori, it was determined that all three individuals had been poisoned with the same type of poison.
Who would dare to be so audacious as to poison a nobleman's son and a prince in the capital?
If Pei Jinnian hadn't been in the palace, the imperial physician wouldn't have arrived so quickly.
Now it's three lives at stake.
The emperor was furious.
The case has been transferred to the Dali Temple.
The servants in the Sixth Prince's residence informed the Sixth Prince's wife of the news.
The Sixth Prince's Consort slumped into a chair.
impossible!
how so!
The sixth prince was poisoned to death!
Everything she did was in vain!
He died in the same way as Yang Rong.
Even Pei Jinnian, the grandson of Grand Tutor Pei, almost died.
If anyone discovers even the slightest clue, she will definitely not have a good ending!
Who is it?!
Could it be the Yang family?
Or is it Consort Xian?
The Sixth Prince's wife was in a daze and even a little unsteady on her feet, but she could not sit idly by and wait for her death.
She quickly shouted, "Get the car ready!"
The imperial court was abuzz with speculation about who was responsible for the poisoning of the three men.
Pei Jinnian finally woke up on the third day.
Fortunately, with the help of two doctors, Pei Jinnian can recover with careful treatment.
After seeing the imperial physician off, Pei Qing turned to look at Pei Jinnian.
"If I were the leader of your court, I would be proud of your growth; if I were your grandfather, I would be very sad."
Pei Jinnian leaned against the bedside. “Grandfather, there’s no need to be sad. You have raised me with great care. I bear the responsibility for the future of the Pei family. The princess taught me to blend in with the world. Although I can’t fully grasp it, at least it won’t bring disaster to the family. Next time, I will handle it better.”
Pei Qing looked at Pei Jinnian's still somewhat pale face; his grandson had finally stepped out of the protective circle he had created for him.
While the imperial court was in a state of panic, another matter became a hot topic of conversation among the common people.
Miaotangchun of Hechuntai and Shierxue of Yanyulou are going to have a showdown.
On the surface, it was a friendly competition between two famous performers from the capital, but many onlookers knew the truth.
These two are because of one person.
Princess Zhenguo loved watching operas and once spent a fortune at the Hechun Stage.
They even invited He Chuntai to perform in their residence.
But recently, this princess has been frequently visiting the Misty Rain Pavilion to listen to the opera "Twelve Snows".
After a few back-and-forth exchanges, the two started arguing.
The atmosphere on both sides was tense and ready to fight.
The loser must leave the capital and never set foot in the capital again.
The news of this grand competition also reached the ears of Princess Zhenguo.
Princess Zhenguo conveyed a message to both families, saying that since it was a friendly exchange, they should not damage their relationship.
Whoever wins, she will book their filming for a year.
Their wealth and power are evident.
Just when everyone was waiting for this good show.
The protagonist who was being fought over was no longer in the capital.
Qin Jinzhi and Huo Qing led their men on a rapid journey towards Guanzhong.
Traveling day and night, they finally arrived in Guanzhong.
Everyone scattered and went into hiding, resting for three days.
After dressing up, Qin Jinzhi and Huo Qing arrived at the Yang family's military training camp.
Yang Shao was reading a military book when a soldier came to report from outside the door.
"General, someone outside requests an audience."
Yang Shao frowned. "Who is it?"
He said that the two brothers were descendants of loyal generals and their surname was Dian.
Yang Shao raised an eyebrow, "Surname Dian?"
Among the generals of Jin, the one surnamed Dian was one of Qin Ye's four adopted sons.
The exemplary conduct is widely praised.
Wasn't he personally ordered to be beheaded by Qin Jinzhi, who faked her death?
Is the son of Dian Fengyang requesting an audience?
interesting.
"Let them in."
Huo Qing's eyes twitched as he looked at Qin Jinzhi's face, which was covered in black paint.
The two arrived at Yang Shao's tent.
"Greetings, General Yang."
Yang Shao did not speak, nor did he look at the two of them.
Let the two of them stand there quietly.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Yang Shao slowly spoke: "Who are you two?"
Huo Qing clasped his hands and said, "My father is Dian Fengyang."
Yang Shao said casually, "Dian Fengyang? Isn't that the adopted son of the Prince of Zhenbei, the renowned commander of the Zhenbei Army? Why would he travel all the way to Guanzhong?"
Qin Jinzhi stepped forward and said, "We are honest men and women, General Yang. Qin Jinzhi killed my father. My brother and I are here to seek your cooperation."
Yang Shao snorted coldly, "Cooperation? Dian Fengyang is dead, what is there to cooperate on?"
Qin Jinzhi frowned and said, "My father had many subordinates during his lifetime, and they could rise up in rebellion at his command."
Yang Shao remained calm and said, "If that's the case, why did you come looking for me in the first place?"
Qin Jinzhi straightened up. "Now, Qin Jinzhi is the only heir to the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion. Qin Ye is muddleheaded and actually passed the position of the young master of the Zhenbei Army to a woman! He even allowed her to kill my father. If this revenge is not taken, I will not be worthy of being a son. The Yang family are the founding heroes, but because of the Qin family, they can only hide in Guanzhong. Doesn't General Yang want to take their place?"
Huo Qing's eyelids twitched as he secretly glanced at Qin Jinzhi.
Yang Shao slammed the book on the table. "Insolence!"
Qin Jinzhi sneered, "So General Yang is afraid. In that case, we brothers will not stay any longer. Farewell."
"stop!"
Yang Shao said with a gloomy face, "Do you think the Yang family can come and go as they please?"
Qin Jinzhi and Huo Qing exchanged a glance.
Qin Jinzhi said, "My brother and I thought that only the Yang family could keep the Zhenbei Army in check, so we came to join General Yang. We never expected that General Yang was just a coward who only dared to cower in Guanzhong."
Yang Shao looked coldly at Qin Jinzhi, "Provocation won't work on me. Men, seize these two."
Qin Jinzhi and Huo Qing immediately turned their backs to each other, adopting a defensive posture. "Does General Yang intend to capture us and bring us to the Qin family for a reward?"
