Not long after Qingwan left the house, Sun Simiao wrote the prescription.
Xiao Changxi took the prescription with both hands and asked carefully what should be paid attention to when preparing the medicine.
Qin Ming felt warm in his heart when he saw everything in front of him and said:
"Changxi, help me see off Dean Sun."
Xiao Changxi nodded after hearing this and led Sun Simiao out of the room.
Only then did Qin Ming begin to think about Changsun Wuji's purpose.
From Qin Ming's point of view, he and Changsun Wuji didn't have many interactions. Changsun Wuji came to visit him at this critical moment, either to discuss the coal business with him or because of his assassination the day before.
While he was thinking about it, Xiao Qingwan opened the door and walked in.
"Master, Wan'er will help you get dressed."
When Qin Ming heard this, he realized that he was only wearing a plain white undershirt.
"okay."
After a while
Qin Ming entered the front hall with Xiao Qingwan's support. In fact, Qin Ming's injuries were not serious enough to require help, but Qin Ming wanted to deliberately create the appearance of being seriously injured.
As soon as he entered the front hall, Qin Ming saw Changsun Wuji and Changsun Chong standing in the front hall.
In addition to these two people, there was another figure kneeling in the hall.
Seeing this scene, Qin Ming was stunned for a moment, and then he had some guesses in his mind.
So he pretended to be weak, cupped his hands towards the two of them and said:
"Qin Ming has met the Duke of Qi and the eldest grandson."
Changsun Wuji saw a pale Qin Ming, and his face instantly showed a look of guilt.
He walked quickly to Qin Ming, personally held Qin Ming's arm and said:
"My dear nephew, please get up quickly."
As he spoke, Changsun Wuji and Xiao Qingwan wanted to support Qin Ming.
Qin Ming quickly waved his hand and said:
"Mr. Qi, please sit down quickly. Don't try to hurt me. I can be supported by my maid."
After saying that, Qin Ming sat on the main seat with the support of Xiao Qingwan.
Changsun Wuji saw this and didn't force him, but he didn't sit down either.
After Qin Ming sat down, he glanced at the two people still standing and asked suspiciously:
"Duke Qi, Mr. Changsun, are you sitting here too? Who is he? Why are you kneeling here?"
Changsun Wuji looked ashamed when he heard this.
He said sadly:
"Good nephew, I have failed to teach my son well. Today I brought this treacherous son here to apologize to you."
"Mr. Qi, why do you say this?"
Upon hearing this, Changsun Wuji pointed at the figure kneeling on the ground and cursed angrily:
"Guizi, what are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you explain things clearly to the man from Qin County soon?"
The figure kneeling on the ground trembled when he heard this, his face was filled with a ferocious look, and the muscles on his face also twitched.
After a while, he raised his head and looked at Qin Ming with sorrow and anger.
Only then did Qin Ming see the appearance of the person kneeling on the ground. This person was none other than Changsun Huan, the second son of the Changsun Mansion who had a relationship with Qin Ming.
"The eldest sinner, Sun Huan, has met the Qin County man."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Qin Ming to ask questions, Changsun Huan poured beans out of a bamboo tube and told how much he resented Qin Ming.
How he learned Qin Ming's identity and how he went to the black market to buy a murderer was told in detail.
Qin Ming said nothing during the whole process and sat in the main seat with a gloomy expression.
In fact, the reason why the person who came to apologize was changed from Chang Sun Chong to Chang Sun Huan was because Chang Sun Wuji had planned it long ago.
In his opinion, after what happened at the ancestral hall last night, his purpose of educating his legitimate son has been achieved.
There is no need to let your legitimate son really suffer humiliation.
Moreover, he didn't know Qin Ming well. If he didn't forgive his legitimate son, then His Majesty would have no way to explain it to him.
So after he returned home last night, he decided to let Changsun Huan plead guilty on behalf of Changsun Chong.
First of all, Changsun Huan had a problem with Qin Ming before, saying that it was reasonable for him to pay for the murder.
Secondly, Changsun Chong is his legitimate son, while Changsun Huan is just a concubine. In his opinion, it is very reasonable for him to exchange the life of his concubine for that of his legitimate son.
Thirdly, if I am willing to sacrifice my bastard's life to quell this assassination, Your Majesty will be able to accept it.
With this in mind, Changsun Wuji pointed to a pile of gift boxes in the hall and said:
"My dear nephew, I brought my traitor here today. In addition to apologizing to you, I also want to give you an explanation, my dear nephew."
After speaking, he paused and said:
"I will cross out the name Changsun Huan from the family tree. From now on, this traitor will have nothing to do with my Changsun Mansion. The decision of killing or beheading will be made by you alone. I will have no complaints. "
Changsun Huan, who was kneeling on the ground, turned pale when he heard this.
Xiao Qingwan, who was standing next to Qin Ming, had been staring at Chang Sun Huan fiercely since she heard Chang Sun Huan's explanation. When she heard Chang Sun Wuji's words, a stern look appeared on her face.
At this time, Changsun Chong, who had been standing by the side, showed a look of unbearability on his face.
He bowed to Qin Ming and said:
"Mr. Qin County, it is true that my second brother was at fault in this matter, but your life is not in danger now. Can you please consider my second brother's young age and spare him this time? I beg you. ”
Changsun Huan's face was originally ashen, but when he heard Changsun Chong's words, his face instantly turned red, and a trace of hatred could not help but appear in his eyes.
Qin Ming sat on the main seat and took in the changes in Zhang Sun Huan's expression one by one.
He was already very sure at this time that the person who wanted to kill him the day before yesterday was definitely Changsun Chong.
As for Changsun Huan, he should just be the scapegoat brought by Changsun Wuji.
With his current status, it was not worth asking Changsun Wuji to sacrifice his own son's life to atone for his sins.
In the Tang Dynasty, there was probably no one else but Li Er who could make Changsun Wuji achieve this level.
From this point of view, my future father-in-law is still reliable. He did not blindly side with Changsun Wuji.
Originally, after Changsun Wuji finished speaking, Qin Ming was still hesitant about how to deal with the situation in front of him. He should forgive Changsun Huan or send him to the government.
But when he saw the hatred in Changsun Huan's eyes just now, he had an idea in his mind.
Rather than sending Changsun Huan to the government and completely turning Changsun's family into mortal enemies, it would be better to just forgive Changsun Huan.
After thinking about what happened this time, Changsun Huan would definitely feel resentful towards Changsun Wuji and Changsun Chong.
From Qin Ming's point of view, in this way, he had an invisible ally.
After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Besides, he and Changsun Huan didn't have any deep grudges. Maybe Changsun Huan could become his internal correspondent in the future.
Qin Ming's mind was spinning and he soon had an idea.
He put down the tea bowl, stood up and said to Changsun Wuji:
"Does what Duke Qi just said count?"
Changsun Wuji nodded slightly and said:
"nature."
"Well."
After saying this, Xiao Qingwan, who was beside Qin Mingchao, said:
"Wan'er, go outside and get a long knife."
"It's young master."
Changsun Huan couldn't help but tremble when he heard this.
Changsun Chong on the side said anxiously:
"Brother Qin, please show mercy and spare my second brother's life."
Qin Ming was silent when he heard this.
