Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 271
Shen Yuzhen leaned gently on his chest, "I know this, I also know that the emperor wanted Xianggong to demote me to a concubine's room."

Hu Qian said: "Don't worry, if I don't agree to the marriage grant, the emperor will definitely follow me."

Shen Yuzhen said: "Sister-in-law should agree, the concubine has already seen that Princess Zhiqin has a deep affection for him.

Moreover, the emperor is actually afraid of Xianggong's supernatural powers, so why not marry the princess so that the emperor can feel at ease. "

Hu Qian said: "No, I must not agree to this matter.

He didn't directly refuse before, but he didn't want to save his face in court. "

Seeing his decisive tone, Shen Yuzhen knew that it would be useless to persuade him, so she stopped talking.

On the other side, in the palace.

Emperor Guangde was admiring the flowers, and Princess Zhiqin walked over quickly.

"Zhiqin, is your illness better?"

Princess Zhiqin didn't answer, but asked directly: "Father, how can you give Hu Qian a marriage!"

Emperor Guangde said with a smile: "Hu Qian is young and handsome, with invincible supernatural powers, and has made great contributions to the court. What's wrong with giving him a marriage?"

"But this... Oh, it's not okay anyway, I won't marry him."

Emperor Guangde said: "You want to marry, but I am not willing to do so.

Don't worry, Zhiying has come to see me before, and she is willing to marry Hu Qian. "

Zhiqin immediately seemed to be struck by lightning, and after a while, she suddenly screamed: "That's even worse!"

Emperor Guangde said: "What's wrong with you?"

Zhiqin shook her head, "My son is fine."

"This matter has been settled. Unless Zhiying repents, there is no room for negotiation."

"Has the father notified Hu Qian?"

"I originally planned to speak to the court tomorrow."

"Father, can you postpone it for a few days, and wait for Erchen and Zhiying to talk about it."

"Why? You don't want to marry yourself, and you don't want Zhiying to marry. What's the reason?"

Zhiqin couldn't explain it, she shook her head and said, "Anyway, that's the way it is, so please agree."

"Okay, let's postpone it for three days. If you have anything to say, talk about it earlier. If it takes a long time, I'm afraid Hu Qian will be anxious."

"Hmph! A womanizer like him must be in a hurry..."

"what?"

"It's nothing, my son is leaving."

After resigning from Emperor Guangde, Zhiqin almost ran all the way to find Zhiying.

Who knows that Princess Huaiqing is in Zhiying's room at the moment, she is close, so she heard Princess Huaiqing say: "Sister, why is this so, you and I are finally together, how can we separate like this."

"elder sister……"

Princess Zhiying was about to speak when Zhiqin suddenly barged in.

"Is my sister here too? Zhiqin is polite."

Princess Huaiqing said: "Look at the sweat on your head, is something wrong?" She took out a fragrant handkerchief from her sleeve and gently wiped it.

Zhiqin said: "Thank you, sister..."

Just as she was about to say it again, she found that Princess Huaiqing's hand had already touched her face.

Princess Huaiqing herself was taken aback, and quickly laughed, "What's the matter?"

Zhiqin said: "Sister, can I have a few words with Zhiying alone."

Huaiqing and Zhiying were slightly taken aback by the explanation, then nodded, "I'll go outside for a walk, you guys can talk by yourself."

When she left, Zhiying sat down on her own, neither asked Zhiqin to sit down, nor asked the maidservant to serve tea, but said with a blank expression: "Sister, what's the matter?"

"Are you begging your father to marry you to Hu Qian?" Zhiying didn't expect her to be so direct, but everyone knew the news and there was nothing to hide, so she nodded immediately, "Yes."

"Don't you hate Hu Qian very much? Why do you do this?"

"The past was the past, and the present is the present. Since he conquered the northwest and southeast, I have fallen in love with him."

"You're lying, you don't like him at all, you just want to use him to save your grandpa!"

Zhiying snorted, "The Dongyang envoy has been caught, and even the Dongyang country has surrendered, but the father still refuses to let him go. Why?"

Zhiqin was silent.

"You don't know, do you? I don't know either, and even the emperor refused to give me a clear answer."

"So you let the emperor give you the marriage?"

"Why not?
Anyway, I want to marry someone, why not marry him, you also know his current status, as long as he speaks, the emperor will definitely let him go. "

"Father, don't you understand your thoughts?"

"Maybe he knows, maybe he doesn't know, anyway, he agreed to marry me to Hu Qian.

At that time, as long as I beg Hu Qian, he will definitely speak. "

"What happiness do you have in doing this?

You don't like him at all, and he doesn't like you either.

You will not be happy together. "

"He may not like me, but I kind of like him now.

Although he is not a nobleman of the royal family, even the emperor dare not ignore his opinion now.

Such a person is much better than other men. "

"He already has a regular wife in his family, and even several concubines. Could it be that you can bear these?"

Zhiying shook her head, "Which powerful man doesn't have many concubines?
And he is younger and more handsome than those people. I heard that his wives and concubines are very harmonious, which shows that he is extremely capable, and I will be very comfortable after I pass by. "

"He is so lustful, and likes the new and dislikes the old. If he doesn't like you, how can he help you save people?"

"I know very well that he is lustful, but he never likes the new and dislikes the old."

"how do you know?"

"My sister should have heard that at that time, the emperor wanted him to demote his wife Shen Yuzhen to a concubine, but he refused verbally. How can such a person love the new and dislike the old.

And I also sent someone to check, he found the lost parents for my concubine Axiu's parents, bought property for them, and begged for the family property for my concubine Lu Huanniang.

How can such a person be a person who loves the new and dislikes the old?
Not only is it not, but he is also a person who values ​​affection and righteousness.

If I really ask, he will help me.

Even if he hates me because of all the previous things, it doesn't matter, as long as he helps me save people, even if he is left out, I am willing. "

Zhiqin frowned, "Does this guy really have so many advantages? Why don't I know?"

"You threatened to kill him before, maybe the person he hates the most is you instead of me.

By the way, what did you want to say to me today?
Why does it seem to be to persuade me not to marry Hu Qian. "

Zhiqin said: "I just don't want you to jump into the fire pit."

Zhiying said: "If he is a fire pit, he is also the most comfortable fire pit in the world. Needless to say, if you want to persuade him again, you might as well say a better man than him."

Zhiqin was at a loss for words for a while, and then said: "The second son of the minister of the Ministry of Industry, handsome and elegant, quite talented in poetry, and unmarried, isn't he a suitable candidate?"

Zhiying smiled and said: "The last time my grandpa celebrated his birthday, I secretly overheard them talking in front of him, this second young master can only talk about it, there is no poetry at all.

Besides, even if he really has a poetic talent, can he still compare to Hu Qian's "Sapphire Case Yuan Xi"? "

"The eldest son of General He, the general of the imperial army, is tall and powerful, isn't he stronger than Hu Qian?"

"Kong Wu is powerful? Hu Qian cut the ground with a single sword to create more than a hundred feet of cracks. Can this Kong Wu powerful Mr. He do it?"

"Bai Yufeng, the son of the former Minister Bai, is flawless and can speak well. Now he is Hanlin again..."

As she spoke, she seemed to think that Bai Yufeng fell behind Hu Qian in the monk murder case last time.

Sure enough, Zhiying said with a smile: "Longjue, can my sister find someone who is more powerful than Hu Qian?
Besides, he is now a procurator and uncle of Jinling, so why does my sister use Hanlin for comparison. "

Although Zhiqin wanted to talk again, there was no suitable person in her mind, and even if there was, she couldn't be compared with Hu Qian at all.

Thinking of this, she shook her head again, "Well, after the Dongping battle, Hu Qian and I have some friendship, so I'll go and beg him for you.

Let him rescue grandpa for you, so that you don't have to wrong yourself to marry him. "

Zhiying shook her head and said: "I was hesitant before, but after arguing with you just now, I found that Hu Qian has too many advantages, since I have the opportunity to marry him, how can I let go.

To say I'm sorry, Father..."

She suddenly lowered her voice, "Father has been unable to suppress Hu Qian, and he has no ability to suppress it at all, so if I marry Hu Qian, Father can really face me, instead of just pampering you, sister...

So, you don't have to beg him for me, he is my son-in-law, I will tell him if I have anything to do, and I won't bother outsiders to intervene.

Before, I wondered if my sister had known Hu Qian for a long time and knew him, so I would tell my father first, but then I thought, my sister had a lot of lupus on her back, maybe I was ashamed of myself, so I didn't say anything.

Besides, even if you really said it, Hu Qian wouldn't want you. "

Zhiqin was taken aback, and walked out with a sullen face.

When he was about to leave the yard, he couldn't help but look back and left quickly.

The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became, and she was tortured all night, and at dawn, she went to the town demon.

******
On the white crane, Hu Qian wrapped Lianlian tightly in his arms, and wrapped her in a mink velvet cloak, so as not to cause any disease from the cold in the high altitude.

Axiu sat facing Hu Qian, warming Lianlian's back.

Seeing Baiyun retreating quickly, she couldn't help being a little scared, and sat hugging Hu Qian without daring to move.

Fortunately, Baihe was fast, and he arrived at Anhu Mansion in a short while.

After entering the yard, Chu Chu and Sister Feng Junzi rushed out to greet her.

Although Axiu is honest, she is Hu Qian's first concubine, and she was chosen by Shen Yuzhen herself. Dare to belittle her.

What's more, Lianlian is Hu Qian's eldest daughter, and she has always been favored by Hu Qian, but her status is different.

"My sister is here, come in quickly."

While taking Lianlian herself, she asked Sister Feng to serve tea.

Axiu said: "These days, please take care of your husband."

Chu Chu said: "What's wrong with my sister, this is what a concubine should do."

Hu Qian had just checked Lianlian's situation, when Hu Jiu's voice suddenly came from outside, "Master, is the inspector department inviting you over?"

He responded, and then said to Axiu, "Axiu, tell Chu Chu what happened in Jinling, and Chuchu, tell Axiu what happened here.

Remember, I didn't come back, don't go out of this yard, understand? "

Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Axiu got up quickly and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Xiang."

Although Chu Chu didn't know what happened, but seeing Hu Qian brought her mother and daughter over, she also knew that something must have happened, so she immediately got up and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Xiang, I won't go anywhere."

Hu Qian said: "Say it again!"

Axiu said: "I can't live in this yard."

Chu Chu also said: "The concubine is not going anywhere."

Only then did Hu Qian nod his head, and walked out quickly, arriving at the Inspectorate.

He thought that something happened to Lin Dayue, the prefect of Anhu Prefecture, but after asking, he found out that two extremely horrific murders occurred in Shisanlipu, the suburb of the city.

After seeing it, Anhu Mansion immediately came to invite Hu Qian.

Hu Qian said: "Since there is a murder case, why don't you go to the prefect Lin, how can you find the procurator directly?"

Xu Fengnian said: "People from the magistrate of Anhu Prefecture said that the two deceased were skinned and convulsed, and their appearance was extremely horrific. They didn't look like they could be done by humans at all, so they came to invite your lord."

Hu Qian shouted: "Come on!"

Immediately a yamen servant ran in.

"Prepare the horse."

After speaking, he looked at Xu Fengnian and said, "Where are the people from Anhu Mansion?"

"A pusher came, named Zhao Siliang, waiting outside."

Hu Qian didn't talk nonsense, went out, called Zhao Siliang, and the two rode to Shisanlipu.

"Where are you, Master Lin?"

"Master Lin...is still reviewing the case of Thirteen Deaths...so I asked the next official to invite you, and please forgive me."

Hu Qian said: "He's doing it for business, so naturally I won't blame him.

Were the two bodies discovered at the same time? "

"The person who came to report said that one was found yesterday morning, and another was found this morning, so they rushed to report."

"Is there any relationship between the two dead?"

"One is at the head of the village and the other is at the end of the village. They are people from the same village. There is no special relationship."

"Has anything strange happened in the village recently?"

"This subordinate official never questioned."

Hu Qian didn't ask any more questions, but just urged the horse forward. Not long after, the two arrived at Shisanlipu.

It was just a strange thing for the two of them that the people in the village dragged their families to the outside of the village.

Hu Qian took the reins and said loudly: "This official is Hu Qian, the inspector. Who is the village chief? Come out and speak!"

Both he and Zhao Si were wearing official uniforms, that's why they yelled, and immediately an old man walked over quickly, bowed and said: "This old man is the village head of Shisanlipu, I have seen two adults."

Hu Qian said: "What's going on with them? Are they going on a long trip?"

The village chief said: "There are corpses like this one after another in the village. Everyone is very scared, saying that it is the work of evil spirits, so they take their families and go out to seek refuge with relatives."

Hu Qian didn't stop him, and looked around, but didn't find anything weird.

"Where is the body, take me to have a look."

The village chief immediately led Hu Qian to an open space in the village. The two corpses were covered by straw mats.

Zhao Siliang only glanced at it, and felt his stomach churn, and ran to the side to vomit.

Hu Qian said: "Did anything happen in the village during this period of time?"

The village head thought for a while and said: "My lord said so, I remembered that some time ago, there was a big river upstream, and a coffin rushed down..."
