As one of the four major aristocratic families, the Qin family has already received wooing intentions from several princes!
However, the Qin family has an advantage over the An family. It has several generations of family members who have accumulated knowledge in various aspects, so the Qin family can be vague about the attitudes of several princes without giving a definite answer.
With such perfunctory behavior, the princes would not know how to target the Qin family.
Some members of the Qin family are officials in the military, like Taiwei Qin, and some are officials in Shengjing. The Qin family has produced great scholars and is a well-known scholar. Qin Lang's father is also the dean of Baima Academy.
White Horse Academy has such a high status among literati. Even the younger sons of Taifu Jian's family attend it, which shows its reputation and weight.
Judging from Zhou Jinyan's investigation, the Qin family prefers to protect themselves wisely. The head of the Qin family is very clear-headed and has no intention of getting involved in seizing the throne.
It is precisely because of this that Princess Ting wants to marry her daughter into the Qin family. If she is involved in anything, her daughter can also be protected by the Qin family. At best, after getting married, she may be able to do some things. Borrow the power of the Qin family.
Princess Ting's abacus was very good, but unfortunately it didn't ring.
Jian Yu and Zhou Jinyan had a discussion on the way to the military camp.
Regardless of whether it was the imperial envoy or Prince Jing, whichever identity he used to rush to the Qin family, the other party would definitely be extremely defensive.
The Qin family will not trust him, and his attitude will only be false.
But it's different if it's Taiwei Qin. As a member of the Qin family and a direct descendant, it's very convenient for him to do anything.
Moreover, when Jian Yu and Zhou Jinyan were in the military camp, their request was not harsh. They only asked him to find out the evidence of the prefect's contact with Princess Ting after returning to Yizhou, and also list the prefect's criminal evidence over the years.
If he can do this, Zhou Jinyan will not pursue the mistakes made by Qin Taiwei. If he cannot do this, then he will talk about the military camp cell.
This is a threat.
Not knowing Zhou Jinyan’s identity, he only regarded him as a powerful imperial envoy. Qin Taiwei had no warning line and even agreed without too much hesitation. The prefect had no interest in Princess Ting or the Qin family, and he had nothing to do with them against the Qin family. loss!
He can sort things out on his own,
Thinking like this, Taiwei Qin didn't tell the truth to his family and just found some excuse to get over it.
Not long after, rumors about Qingzhou City reached Yizhou. When asked by his family, Lieutenant Qin just said that he would go back after the imperial envoy left, and it would not affect anything.
Taiwei Qin is no longer a child. If there is something he can't handle, he will definitely ask his family for help. Judging from Taiwei Qin's attitude, the Qin family thought it was not a big deal and paid no attention to it.
Only the head of the family spoke to Taiwei Qin and asked what was going on in Qingzhou City. Taiwei Qin concealed the conflict in the military camp and told what he learned.
Of course, there is no useful information.
Then Lieutenant Qin began to do what the imperial envoy ordered.
The evidence that led to the conviction of the prefect was provided by the Qin family. You may not be able to tell much before the incident comes out, but once the evidence is obtained, it is not difficult for those who are interested to follow the clues and discover the role played by the Qin family.
Princess Ting, who originally wanted to save the prefect, was unable to do anything in the face of overwhelming evidence.
Then she realized that Lieutenant Qin seemed to be doing nothing in Yizhou all day long, but he was actually investigating these things!
What is the background of this imperial envoy? Sheng Jing sent a letter telling her not to mess with him, and the Qin family is being used by him again!
Not only the three princes, but also Princess Qingyun also offered an olive branch to be friends with her at the beginning, but the Qin family did not accept it!
Now you are actually working for that imperial envoy? !
The Qin family was also deceived. The prefect deserved his death, but the evidence of his crime should not have been provided by the Qin family!
There is a mole in the Qin family!
Soon, the mole Qin Taiwei was caught.
Lieutenant Qin was confused. In his opinion, this was a trivial matter. Why was there such a big reaction? ! The imperial envoy's attitude couldn't be more obvious. Even if he didn't help find the evidence, the prefect would definitely die!
Instead of doing this, it is better to use this to make meritorious deeds.
If he were not the Qin Taiwei, he would have no sense of presence in the Qin family, and if he was punished for being disrespectful, the Qin family would not necessarily fish for him! There are many young people in the Qin family who are promising, but he is not outstanding.
Faced with the questioning from his elders, Qin Taiwei had no choice but to tell everything. If he didn't, he would be expelled from the family tree.
He really didn't know why it was so serious, he just wanted to spread the news!
After hearing what happened, the elders of the Qin family were so angry that they resorted to family methods. It was only here that Qin Taiwei realized that he had been plotted against.
He is just a springboard, the imperial envoy's real goal is the Qin family.
"Now it depends on which power the imperial envoy belongs to, because of you! The Qin family is in trouble this time!"
The head of the Qin family was so angry that the investigation evidence was not important. What was important was that this evidence was submitted by the Qin family!
The external signal seems to be that the Qin family and the imperial envoy are on the same side. Otherwise, what does the matter in Qingzhou City have to do with your Yizhou Qin family? Do you need your help?
Not only were the Qin family and the imperial envoy tied together, it was the Qin family who took the initiative to show their courtesy!
I can’t even imagine what will happen if this news reaches Shengjing! But it's nothing more than that, the Qin family got on the imperial envoy's ship and became a group of people.
Can this be explained clearly? able! But the Qin family got a round of blood! Even if you pay a lot of money, you may not get out of this whirlpool cleanly.
After finally holding on to the Qin family's fat piece, how could the people behind the scenes let go so easily?
The head of the Qin family became more and more angry as he thought about it. The princes in Shengjing, no matter which force they belonged to, were not a good thing for the Qin family.
The reason why the Qin family can be passed down for generations and become one of the four great families today is because no matter which emperor they are after they ascend the throne, the Qin family will not participate in the disputes.
Don't think about reaching the sky in one step. Before you can achieve wealth and wealth, you may very well ruin the lives of your entire family!
The head of the Qin family was very angry. The Qin family was actually plotted against by an imperial envoy! They began to use their strength to find out where this imperial envoy came from!
At this time, Taiwei Qin, who realized the seriousness of the problem, stood up staggeringly. His back was bloody and bloody, and his calves could not stand straight due to the beatings of thorn sticks.
He limped to the head of the family and whispered to Ai Ai: "The imperial envoy has a tiger order in his hand! Maybe he is someone sent by the emperor!"
Compared with the power of several princes, it would be a blessing among misfortunes if the people the Qin family helped were pure ministers in front of the emperor.
It may even lift all boats.
The head of the Qin family did not dare to have any luck, and secretly thought that he would wait for the news of the investigation to come back.
The Qin family is full of the calm before the storm.

"Behead them all?!"
At the gate of the city, Jian Yu was a little surprised when she saw the announcement. The imperial court's execution was very shocking. She thought that some merchants who did not participate enough would survive.
"The absence of the Yi tribe is based on their cooperation."
In the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the most severe sentences were given for matters such as treason. The merchants knew the identity of the gold slaves, but still made mistakes for the sake of profit. The greed at the beginning was the cause and effect of the present.
Jian Yu suddenly changed the topic and said, "By the way, do you want to know what's going on with Qin Lang?"
Lieutenant Qin wrote twice. The first letter was to submit the evidence of the prefect's crime, and the second letter was to reply to Jian Yu's inquiry about Qin Lang.
Jian Yu also wrote clearly about Qin Lang in the letter she left for An Qi.
Now when talking about Qin Lang, Jian Yu is more interested in sharing "gossip" with Zhou Jinyan.
Zhou Jinyan's mood has not been very high since he learned that the emperor was poisoned. Jian Yu always looks for opportunities to tease him and let him relax his tense heart.
When Qin Taiwei was mentioned now, Jian Yu thought of the other party's second letter. Zhou Jinyan had not read the content.
"If you want to know, please tell me, madam."
Zhou Jinyan was very cooperative and spoke softly. He was now more and more relaxed in front of Jian Yu.
Without Prince Jing’s airs, Zhou Jinyan would be Zhou Jinyan.
