The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 120 Thanks
Tianxiang Tower.

Zhang Yunyi leaned against the head of the bed, hugged Qin Keqing tightly, and told her the story of the Qin family's extermination again.

Although Qin Keqing is different from Youshi, it is impossible for her to be on the same page with the Ningguo Mansion after Jia Rong signed the divorce letter.

What's more, he tried to defame her innocence and forced her to death last night.

However, when he entered the palace to expose the Ning Mansion, he also sold out Qin Ye, so he had to keep it secret.

Although Qin Ye was only her adoptive father, he had no biological children when he adopted her, so in the beginning he treated her and the adopted son who died young as his own children.

Even when she had a son in her old age, he was different from her daughter in that he never treated her harshly.

Zhang Yunyi clearly felt the soft body in his arms tremble slightly. He forcibly suppressed the inappropriate charm and comforted her: "The dead are gone, and the living are like this. You are mine now, and this body is not just yours. If you hurt yourself, I will be heartbroken."

To be honest, he had no sympathy for Qin Ye, but it was because of his relationship with Qin Keqing.

Qin Keqing was silent for a while, struggled to turn sideways from his arms, turned her head and looked at him.

Those affectionate eyes carried a trace of deep resentment, and he said in a trembling voice: "Keqing had already expected that since they attacked me, they must be planning to sacrifice the car to save the master, and push my father out to take the blame. Even if I can escape this disaster, I am afraid I can't escape the national law. But Zhong'er..."

She is more than ten years older than Qin Zhong, and the elder sister is like a mother. Although she has less contact with Qin Zhong after marrying into Ning Mansion and moving into Tianxiang Tower to avoid Jia Zhen, their feelings are still there.

Speaking of Qin Zhong, she was already in tears, choking with sobs as she said, "Zhong'er's crime does not deserve death. How could they have the heart to kill a child who is only ten years old!~"

Having said this, Qin Keqing looked up at him, with a hint of gratitude in her eyes and a hint of determination on her face.

"Last night, you saved me and got me a divorce. I have no way to repay you. The only way I can repay you is to serve you day and night. I shouldn't have any other thoughts, but I am afraid that I will be powerless to avenge my father and Zhong'er by myself, even if I die."

She spoke in a plaintive and sobbing voice, as if expressing all the tenderness and weakness of a woman.

Zhang Yunyi's heart trembled, and he said righteously: "Don't worry! Keqing's revenge is my revenge. I will go to the palace to report to His Majesty tomorrow!"

Qin Keqing's eyes flashed with excitement, but she shook her head and said, "Since they dared to act like this, they must have a perfect plan. Moreover, they destroyed the body and there is no evidence. Even Shuntian Prefecture has determined that it was a robbery. I don't have any evidence in my hand, so I am afraid that I may not be able to convict them."

"Don't worry, Keqing. This incident was caused by corruption in the Construction Department. Just report the corruption to the Emperor and he will conduct a thorough investigation."

"But corruption is ultimately no match for a family massacre. If they can kill people quietly, they can certainly arrange for them to escape. Besides..."

At this point, she paused for a moment and sighed, "The money my father embezzled was not given to just one family. When the time comes, the officials will protect each other. In addition, my father is also guilty... He is a criminal, and the emperor may not be willing to go to war for him."

Criminal investigation technology in ancient times was limited, and in cases like this, it was difficult to find any strong evidence unless the perpetrator was caught in the act.

Of course, once you have a target, there will always be people who cannot endure the torture.

However, corruption involves too many areas. To put it bluntly, all the people involved are suspects, and the law does not hold everyone accountable. This was especially true in ancient times.

Moreover, if you refuse to admit it, there is still a glimmer of hope, but once you admit it, there will be no return.

Zhang Yunyi said with determination: "We have to give it a try!"

Qin Keqing looked at him earnestly, her eyes full of gratitude and attachment, and murmured, "I was adopted by my father when I was young, and I should repay this kindness, but I can't let you take the blame. Traditionally, things like using the back door are handled by female relatives. Although I don't know how much my father gave, I remember clearly which families he went to."

She laughed at herself and said, "Otherwise they wouldn't have forced me to death. But I'm a woman and have nowhere to turn to. I can only write a letter and beg you to present it to the Emperor!" If the emperor was still unclear about Dai Quan's role in this, the list in Qin Keqing's hand could still play a role.

However, he was not in a position to tell her. Anyway, the result would be the same, so he simply promised: "You go and write it now, and I will present it to the emperor tomorrow!"

Qin Keqing nodded slightly and said, "Master, you still have to promise me one thing."

"Well! You tell me!"

"Your Excellency is just forwarding this letter. The person who is complaining is not you, but the granddaughter-in-law of Ningguo Mansion, Qin!"

"This..." Zhang Yunyi immediately understood her intention. Just as he was about to speak, he felt a chill on his lips. Qin Keqing's slender jade fingers were already pressing on his lips.

She said with a sad face: "Although I didn't know the pros and cons of this at the beginning, I am an accomplice after all. This matter involves a lot of people. You should try your best to avoid getting too involved. You should also avoid people when you report to the emperor. It is most appropriate for Qin, the granddaughter-in-law of Ning Mansion, to do this, but..."

At this point, a strange blush appeared on her face, and she looked at Zhang Yunyi with seductive eyes and said, "But, even if Keqing can linger in the future, I'm afraid she can only serve uncle as the granddaughter-in-law of Ning Mansion. Today, let me, your niece, thank your uncle first! ~"

Before she finished her words, she had already slid down Zhang Yunyi's body and began to thank him with sobs.

"hiss……"

Zhang Yunyi suddenly felt short of breath. He straightened his back and forcibly suppressed the urge to tell her the truth.

He understood Qin Keqing's plan and felt that his hope of revenge was slim, so he wanted to file a complaint with the emperor in the name of the Ningguo Mansion's granddaughter-in-law.

Even if they cannot make the Ning family bear the crime of exterminating the whole family, at least this will make them offend the people involved in the case and cut themselves off from officialdom.

Although this was similar to his original idea of ​​cutting off the Ning Mansion's external aid, there was really no need to sacrifice her for the sake of a Ning Mansion that would be destroyed sooner or later.

Even if the outside world doesn't know, are Jia Jing and Jia Zhen also fools?

They didn't dare to do anything to themselves, so would they be lenient towards Qin Keqing?

At that time, taking out the divorce letter would be tantamount to admitting that the complaint had nothing to do with the Ning Mansion. If she did not take it, she would have no reason to interfere in the Ning Mansion's family affairs.

This is probably why she said she was lingering on?

Fortunately, this letter had to be delivered through him, and the emperor had Dai Quan as his leverage, and the two sides could not confront each other. He kept it secret from both sides and was not worried about being exposed.

However, although it is easy to keep it a secret, since Qin Keqing is worried about implicating him and wants to take the opportunity to retaliate against the Ning family, I am afraid that she will not give up the title of Ning family's granddaughter-in-law easily.

This was not a problem at all for Zhang Yun逸. After all, the emperor had promised that he could protect the women of the Ning Mansion no matter what.

It doesn't make much difference whether Qin Keqing is a member of the Ning family's family or not. As long as he holds the divorce letter, Jia Jing and Jia Zhen will not have the right to deal with Qin Keqing.

He couldn't help but think of Jia Rong's previous words. Could it be that his words were really going to come true?
Thinking of this, he actually felt a little excited, and unconsciously stretched out his hand and pressed it on Qin Keqing's head.

At the same time, he closed his eyes and fell into deep thought for a long time.
