And what about Di Ying?
If he knew that His Majesty the Emperor thought so, he would definitely tell her: when everyone she faces is respectful, flattering, and fearful of her, then suddenly there comes someone who treats her almost as an equal. She will be fresh and accepting.
This is also something Di Ying expresses from the bottom of his heart. Although it is not intentional, it is actually very effective.
Of course, this was because he knew that the emperor was actually a very open-minded person.
Whose family is the younger one...
Hehe, he already had a hundred heads which were not enough to cut off.
But if it were Qin...
Then the two of them can sit across from each other, talk by candlelight, and sleep with their feet touching...
It’s beautiful when you think about it.
But I can only think about it.
Now that he had money in his pocket, Di Ying relied on the Ministry of Household Affairs to get an extra hundred taels of silver, and asked someone to send the gold that His Majesty had awarded to him and Peng Liang home. They changed into their official uniforms and set off directly.
Qian Fu's family property was gone, leaving only an ancestral home. Qian Xiner lived in it and was taken care of by the old housekeeper Tian Mo.
The once prosperous Quxian County has also become somewhat depressed.
Di Ying and the others rode their horses out of Dadu City to Qu County. They were really filled with emotion.
Qian Fu made great contributions to his hometown. The official road from Dadu City to Qu County is paved with large bluestone slabs, which is not much worse than the official road in Dadu Chengfang City.
There are many holly trees planted on both sides of the road. In this cold season, it looks less desolate and more lively.
Qu County is also neatly planned. The bridge is also strong and durable.
However, many shops are now closed, and there are almost no smiles on the faces of pedestrians coming and going.
When Di Ying rode through the street, he could still feel the prosperity of the past.
Compared with the current situation, this sense of gap also made Di Ying's expression more serious.
When approaching Qian's house, Di Ying slowed down and thought about whether to find a woman to contact Qian Xiner first.
This idea was given up as soon as it came up.
Qian Xiner is now very repulsive to strangers, regardless of gender.
Then just try it yourself. Di Ying raised her hand and rubbed her face vigorously.
When he arrived at Qian's house, he jumped off his horse. Peng Liang tied the two horses to the stone pillars in front of the door, and then went to knock on the door.
Di Ying observed the appearance of the house.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: It's really desolate.
Some people break the law, and a white knife goes in and a red knife goes out;
Some people break the law and cannot see any murder weapon, but use invisible blades to destroy a person or a family piece by piece.
"Creak", the door opened.
An old man in his sixties, with all white hair and beard, stooped and struggled to open the door a crack.
"Who are you looking for?"
The uncle asked tremblingly.
"Hello, husband."
Peng Liang clasped his hands, greeted politely and asked, "Excuse me..."
He choked and looked back at his lord.
The adult didn't say anything when he came all the way. He didn't know who he was looking for.
Di Ying also found that she had ignored this.
Before that, he had been living alone. Apart from his family, he had no one he could trust or communicate with. I'm used to having everything running around in my head.
Now that there was an extra Peng Liang, he couldn't get used to it for a while.
He smiled apologetically at Peng Liang, then met his father-in-law's doubtful and wary gaze, and said with a gentle smile: "My father-in-law, I am Di Ying, the newly appointed Prime Minister of Dali Temple. I want to meet your young lady..."
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, the old man retracted his head and prepared to close the door.
He muttered: "It's an official again. None of you officials are good. What do you do when you see my young lady? The more you see me, the more scared my young lady becomes of people. Do you have to force people to death before you give up?"
Di Ying rubbed her nose after muttering.
Interrogation after interrogation, Qian Xiner was asked about the original situation again and again, giving people hope and falling into the abyss again and again.
Let alone someone like Qian Xiner who is on the verge of collapse, even a normal person can no longer bear it.
“Old man, I want to let your master go home, but we have to seek justice in this matter, right?
If it is really inconvenient for your young lady to meet people, then I would like to ask you, do you still have the makeup from back then?
If not, please tell your lady and let me see her.
As long as any trace of poisoning can be found on her face, I will repay the justice of your Qian Mansion. What do you think?
Remember: my name is Di Ying.
If I say I can't do it, you can come to Dali Temple and sue me. "
As soon as he finished speaking, the closed door opened again, not too small.
The uncle came out with some surprise and anxiety on his face, rubbed his big palms with wrinkled skin, and asked uncertainly: "Can you really detect toxins from my young lady's face? Can you help free my family?" Is it useful, sir?
Those makeup products from back then are gone...
The master took them and looked for people everywhere to check and complain. In the end, he didn't know why, but he never brought them back after taking them out.
Said he was knocked over. It is because of this that my master always failed to win the lawsuit. The villain followed the master's words and spent almost all the money in the house without rescuing the master.
Those damn dog officials only know how to collect money, collect money, but do nothing after collecting money.
The younger one went to look for them and was beaten out..."
The old man thought to himself.
Di Ying still had a friendly smile on her face, but her heart was so heavy that she couldn't even lift it.
According to normal principles, in fact, not all the officials who tried this case may be bad.
It's just that the key evidence chain is missing, and they didn't do enough.
It is very easy for problems to arise when it comes to eating and using things, and it is difficult to retain them as evidence.
Therefore, the person handling the case needs to carefully and patiently sort out the causes and consequences, as well as logical, emotional and other factors.
It cannot be simply judged.
Not to mention you can't accept other people's money and still refuse to take it seriously.
When the old man finished talking, Di Ying clasped his hands and said, "I have suffered a lot. Please lead the way."
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaoooooooooooooo, okay, okay, I'll take you there. But my lady is seriously frightened and she might be neglecting our distinguished guests. Please be patient with me."
The old housekeeper has always saluted people throughout his life, especially to officials. For the first time, an official saluted him. He was flattered, but moved to tears sadly.
This is a good official. There is hope for his master to come out. Why didn’t he meet him earlier...
Wiping his old face, he straightened his stooped waist a little, opened the middle door wide and actively led the way.
Qian's house is very large, but now it is overgrown with weeds due to lack of maintenance. The trees have no tree shape, and the flowers have no flower shape. Occasionally you can see pheasants, hares and the like.
Many weeds arched the flagstones on the path.
But the snow was thick, covering up all of this.
There is only one road, and it is clean.
