Prosperous Concubine

Chapter 728 Removal of rights (2)
"Long live my emperor!" Qin Zheng gave a deep salute, stood up, and accepted the imperial edict, with a look that others could not understand flashed in his sharp eyes.

Eunuch Zhao looked at his sinking face, and sighed softly: "Huainan Hou, don't blame the emperor, there are six spies around the Hou Ye, not only entered the barracks, stole the secrets of the barracks, but also almost killed Major General Su, this is a shame! The emperor didn't go into too much detail about this serious crime, but ordered Lord Hou to contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors, which is already a very light punishment!"

Looking at Eunuch Zhao's meaningful eyes, Qin Tian hurriedly said: "I understand the emperor's protection for me, and I am very grateful in my heart, and I have no intention of resentment!"

so good!Eunuch Zhao nodded, with a little smile in his eyes: "The Marquis of Huainan closed his door and thought about his mistakes. He can't leave the mansion, and he can't come to the barracks. Can you think of a general who will be in charge of the barracks?"

Qin Zheng smiled softly: "It's already been chosen, it's General Qin Peiqin!" On the surface, thinking behind closed doors for a month is a punishment for him being locked up for a month, and he didn't hurt his tendons or bones, so the punishment was extremely light. However, he is the commander of the three armies, if he does not go out for a month, he will hand over the power in the army camp for a month.

30 days, 360 hours, every hour, something unexpected may happen. As the commander of the three armed forces, if he loses power, he loses control and mobilization of the barracks. This is more cruel than beating him a hundred times. too much!

The emperor thinks highly of him, he is not strict with his orders, the emperor will teach him a lesson, demote him, but will not take away his power, the current punishment, to poke his weakness everywhere, is not the emperor's original intention, It was Su Yixuan or a certain minister who suggested it to the emperor!Terrible!

The lightly hanging military tent was opened, and a middle-aged man strode in. He had a clean face, righteous eyes, and a black beard on his lips. He saluted the two of them politely: "Master Zhao, Eunuch Zhao!"

Eunuch Zhao said with a smile: "General Qin!"

"General Qin, this Marquis wants to contemplate behind closed doors, and the barracks will be handed over to you. These are all military affairs in the barracks. You must handle them carefully..." Qin Zheng walked to the table, picked up booklets, and carefully Explained in detail, with serious eyes.

"The last general respects the instruction!" Qin Pei nodded, silently memorizing it!
Mu Yutang looked at his upright face, and said thoughtfully, "He is Qin Pei, what is his relationship with Qin Zheng?"

Xiao Qingyu glanced at Qin Pei, and said casually: "He is Qin Zheng's cousin!"

Mu Yutang curled her lips: "Turning around, the power of the military camp is still in the hands of the Qin family, and they didn't run far at all!"

Xiao Qingyu said lightly: "The Qin family has been in the army for generations. There are several generals of the Qin family in this barracks. These tens of thousands of troops are almost going to become the Qin family army. into someone else's hands."

Mu Yutang nodded, this is the so-called family monopoly!The famous nobles in ancient times were all based on the clan, and everyone lost, and everyone prospered. They are indeed relatively united with each other: "This Qin Pei just came back from the cemetery."

Xiao Qingyu looked at her puzzled: "How do you know?"

Mu Yutang pointed at Qin Pei's feet, and said proudly, "The soles of his feet are covered with scorched confetti, and his body also has a faint scent of sandalwood and burnt paper. He has stood in the cemetery for at least a quarter of an hour!"

The cemeteries are all on fixed hills, not near the barracks, nor on the way they came. Which cemetery did Qin Pei go to, and which relative did he pay homage to?
"Qin Pei should be going to pay homage to his wife!" Xiao Qingyu said suddenly, with a rare seriousness in his eyes!
"Qin Pei's wife passed away?" Mu Yutang was surprised. Qin Pei was only 30 years old, and his wife was about the same age. Why did he pass away?

"Three years ago, Mrs. Qin Pei went to Lingyin Temple to pray for her family. It rained heavily and blocked the way down the mountain. She stayed in the wing room of Lingyin Temple. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, someone sneaked into the room , killed her maid, nanny, and hacked her to death with a long knife, the blood flowed all over the floor, and a lot of blood gushed out on the wall, the bloody scene was horrible and shocked the whole capital." Xiao Qingyu's deep eyes A rare seriousness flashed in his pupils.

Mu Yutang frowned tightly. Mrs. Qin Pei is just a weak woman, and it is really cruel that the villain did such a cruel thing to her: "Have you caught the murderer?"

"No!" Xiao Qingyu shook his head: "The villain fled overnight and disappeared without a trace. The officials searched the entire city for hundreds of miles, but they didn't find any clues!"

"We can't find the murderer, and we can't find the slightest trace. Isn't Madam Qin's death an unsolved case!" Mu Yutang murmured softly.

"It's not particularly hanging. Have you seen the hairpin in Qin Pei's sleeve?" Qingrun's voice rang in his ears, and Mu Yutang followed Xiao Qingyu's direction, and saw a silver hairpin protruding from Qin Pei's cuff. The plain hairpin is elegant and dignified.

"It was the hairpin worn by Mrs. Qin the night she was killed. Afterwards, Qin Pei found it in a very hidden corner. The tip of the hairpin was stained with blood, but Mrs. Qin didn't have that kind of wound on her body. He deduced that the wound On that assassin, for three years, Qin Pei has been looking for the murderer with scars on his body, but he has found nothing!"

Mu Yutang sighed softly, Qinglong Kingdom is so big and there are so many people, Qin Pei only looking for people based on their wounds is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack...

"Marquis of Huainan, General Qin, our family has returned to the palace and returned to the palace. Farewell!" Eunuch Zhao said with a smile, turned and walked out of the tent.

"Eunuch Zhao, go slowly!" Watching Eunuch Zhao go away, Qin Zheng's smiling face instantly darkened, and he said coldly: "A eunuch who can't stand on the stage dares to show off his power in front of this Marquis, beyond his control!"

Qin Pei glanced at Eunuch Zhao's figure, and said in a low voice: "Cousin, Eunuch Zhao is here to issue the imperial decree on behalf of the emperor!"

"This Marquis knows!" If Eunuch Zhao did not represent the emperor, he would not be so polite to Eunuch Zhao. Speaking of Eunuch Zhao, Qin Zheng recalled the fact that he was dismissed from power again, and felt extremely depressed: "Cousin Pei , the affairs of the barracks are entrusted to you, and the Marquis will go back to the mansion to contemplate behind closed doors and leave."

"Master Hou, wait a minute!" Qin Pei stopped him in a deep voice.

Qin Zheng paused: "Is there something wrong?"

Qin Pei looked at Qin Zheng, and said without a word: "Did you instigate the matter of Master Hou, Young Master Su?"

"No! Those secret guards made their own decisions and wanted to murder Su Yixuan!" Qin Zheng didn't change his face, and pushed the matter away without a beat.

Qin Pei said in a low voice: "Those six secret guards were trained by me and Lord Hou. Their loyalty to Lord Hou can be learned from heaven and earth. They are all Lord Hou's confidantes, and they are definitely not spies from other countries!"

Qin Zheng's eyes froze, and he said sharply: "Qin Pei, those six people are spies, and everyone wants to stay away, but you actually take the initiative to admit that he is your own secret guard, are you afraid that the nine clans of the Qin family will not die quickly enough?"
