How could Tang Jianqiu tolerate outsiders taking away his favorite girl? What's more, I still owe her too much in my previous life, and I can't make up for it in this life;
Tang Jianqiu walked towards Qin Xintao as he spoke, but the man was afraid of Tang Jianqiu's power, so he had to retreat back to avoid being shocked by Tang Jianqiu.
The blood in his body was obviously frozen with fear, but he still had to argue with reason. Even at this point, Qin Xintao still did not forget to speak harshly:
"Damn, she's just a girl who has never had her feet bound. No matter how good this young master is, I don't care about her!"
After saying that, Qin Xintao walked away with no choice but to leave with his subordinates and gifts.
He never expected that Tang Jianqiu would appear at this time and take the initiative.
He originally wanted to take this opportunity to humiliate Tang Jianqiu but failed. In this way, he could be said to have encountered a ruthless character, and he had no choice but to give up.
"Master Qin, please wait!"
Just when Mr. Shen was about to call Qin Xintao, it was already too late. The confidant Tao had already left. Naturally, he didn't want to stay here and ask for trouble.
Now that Qin Xintao has left, there is no other way. He can only hit the palm of his hand with the back of his hand and make an extremely painful sound:
"Jianqiu, why are you doing this? You can just say a few words, so why do you want to offend him?"
"I just can't bear to see him slandering Miss Hongluan."
Tang Jianqiu changed the situation with just one sentence. He was sincere to Shen Hongluan and he would not tolerate anyone burying someone under his nose.
Mrs. Shen was somewhat touched when she heard this. She originally thought that Tang Jianqiu would reject this marriage, but she didn't expect that she would be so infatuated. It turned out that she was not good at showing it.
In this case, it was their fault, and they almost beat the couple.
"Hahaha! Jianqiu, you treat her like a lover and a concubine."
"Tang is not good at words, but he is really happy with Miss Hongluan."
Tang Jianqiu didn't understand poetry, nor did he understand sweet words. You couldn't hide your loveliness.
Especially when he saw the Qin family proposing marriage, he felt that he was about to lose his mind. If the Shen family agreed to this marriage, they would go crazy.
"Uncle and aunt, I am very fond of Miss Hongluan. I have already identified her as the only one in this life. Please feel free to leave Miss Hongluan to me."
Tang Jianqiu bowed and clasped his fists. This was the limit of what he could think of at the moment. No matter how good he was, he couldn't think of anything better.
Mrs. Shen nodded repeatedly, she was very satisfied.
"Jianqiu, uncle won't make things difficult for you, but the marriage proposal must be handled according to the rules."
Mr. Shen also recognized Tang Jianqiu as their son-in-law, but he wanted to stick to the rules, otherwise the Shen family might not look good if word spread.
Tang Jianqiu bowed and said, "Uncle, please rest assured that I will propose marriage according to the rules."
Such words undoubtedly gave Mrs. Shen and Mr. Shen a reassurance, and they finally let go of their worries;
"That's great, Jianqiu. Why don't you finish your meal before leaving now that you're here?"
Putting aside the fact that Tang Jianqiu might become the son-in-law of the Shen family, the mere fact that the two families were family friends was enough for him to stay, and he would have to have a good meal anyway.
"Thank you uncle for your kindness. I just have some important matters to deal with. I hope you can forgive me."
"It's a pity that it's like this, but that's fine, just go ahead and do your work."
Since Tang Jianqiu said so, how could they persuade him to stay? Let him go.
Mrs. Shen glanced at Tang Jianqiu several times. She was very happy and smiled from ear to ear.
"The more I look at Jianqiu, the more satisfied I am! I think our Shen family and Tang family have been friends for generations, not to mention that these two children have been childhood sweethearts since they were young. It would be best if they can become in-laws now."
When she was young, when Tang Jianqiu and Shen Hongluan were playing together, she admired Tang Jianqiu's unwillingness to admit defeat. Now that they have grown into young men, there is nothing to say.
Mrs. Shen smiled happily and was very excited as she spoke, "We Hongluan are careless and behave recklessly. Jianqiu, I need you to be more considerate of us."
"Auntie, what you said is wrong. Miss Hongluan is straightforward and forthright. How could she say anything rashly?"
No matter what happens to Shen Hongluan, Tang Jianqiu will definitely marry her.
Besides, he doesn't think there's anything wrong with it. Not all men in this world like girls who are gentle, virtuous, beautiful, and smart. He likes girls with personality and courage.
Master Shen felt much better after hearing this. He nodded and appreciated Tang Jianqiu a little more;
"That's great! I wonder how your father-in-law is doing now? Is your body safe?"
Tang Jianqiu was flattered and said truthfully after bowing, "Thank you for your concern, aunt. My father and mother are still healthy and sleeping and eating well."
Hearing this, the two elders breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, Jianqiu, if you have anything to do, go ahead. Things in the government office are important, so don't delay the business."
"Yes, I'll take my leave."
Tang Jianqiu walked out of the Shen family in a red robe.
…
A few days later, everything went on as usual, but today, Tang Guodong, the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, came to the door specially. .
He brought a few officers and soldiers to defend himself, and he was not polite when he saw the visitor. He was sitting in the main hall and told Tang Jianqiu about the purpose of his visit.
"I didn't know that Mr. Tang was here, so I missed the welcome. I hope you'll forgive me." Tang Jianqiu was flattered. He clasped his fists to apologize, but Tang Guodong didn't take it seriously.
He was in a pretty good mood today, so how could he care about such a trivial matter?
"Your Majesty, the Governor, is too polite. This visit to my residence is not entirely for official matters. It may be mixed with private matters."
"Private matter?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Jianqiu's eyebrows twitched inadvertently.
Generally speaking, this matter is either public or private, but now...
Seemingly sensing Tang Jianqiu's concerns, Tang Guodong laughed dryly and then explained the reason:
"It will be Mr. Su's fiftieth birthday in a few days. I order you to prepare a big gift and start investigating a murder case."
Tang Jianqiu became a little curious after hearing this. Who is going to involve the Su family?
Tang Jianqiu asked: "Murder case? Can you tell me in detail?"
Tang Guodong didn't hide anything after hearing this, and simply said truthfully: "That's natural. It is said that more than a dozen girls have been killed during this period.
The similarity is that they all suffered inhuman abuse before dying. From the scene of the crime, it was inferred that the thief probably defiled and executed them and left a red flower behind. Therefore, the government designated the case as red. Flower case. "
Tang Jianqiu stood up from his seat with a bang. How could he hold back in the face of such a shocking case? His blood boiled.
"So many women were raped and murdered within a few days? This guy actually committed such a heinous crime! It's really abominable! Mr. Tang, please rest assured that this matter will be handled by me, and I will do my best to do it. !”
Now that Tang Guodong has handed over the case to him for trial, Tang Jianqiu has to take it seriously.
Tang Guodong was very embarrassed. He sighed first, and then revealed the key points of the case:
"Alas! This case more or less involves the young minister of Dali Temple. I think the Tang family has a close relationship with the Su family, so I have to leave this matter to you."
It was these words that made Tang Jianqiu uneasy. He couldn't understand, so he expressed his doubts: "Is it related to the Su family? Mr. Tang, please forgive me for speaking frankly, why is this case related to the Su family?"
However, Tang Guodong did not directly answer the question raised by Tang Jianqiu. Instead, he asked in a different way:
"You have deep Su Jing's nature, are you?"
In response, Tang Jianqiu replied without hesitation: "Of course."
"According to reports from local people, it was a dark and windy night, and he was woken up by the urge to urinate in the middle of the night. He was planning to go to the latrine, but vaguely saw a figure jumping to the roof.
Although it is not completely certain, upon closer inspection, the figure of this person may be similar to Su Jing, so I ordered you to find out clearly. "
"What!"
Tang Jianqiu was shocked. He knew Su Jing and could not do anything worse than a pig or a dog.
"Has that person met Mr. Su Jingsu?" Tang Jianqiu had to doubt him.
Tang Guodong said: "According to him, we had a chance encounter, but he has a good memory."
"Master Tang, Su Jing already has a good wife in his family, and he is also the princess of the dynasty, so how can he do such a thing as a beast? Even though he is a dandy, I, Tang Jianqiu, still believe in him!"
However, Tang Guodong is not disbelieving, but the current evidence shows that the person who raped and killed the innocent woman may be Su Jing.
At the moment, he is the most suspected, so it is most appropriate to hand over the case to Tang Jianqiu.
If he was allowed to handle it personally, he would be suspected of bending the law for personal gain. Although Tang Jianqiu was on good terms with Su Jing, at least his character was visible to everyone in the world.
"Zhen Fu, I understand what you mean. I just hope that you can do everything you can. Regardless of whether Su Jing did this case or not, we must find out the truth and restore the deceased's innocence."
"Please rest assured, Mr. Tang, leave this matter to me and I will make sure everything is ready." Tang Jianqiu bowed and said.
Realizing that there was something missing, Tang Guodong added on the original basis: "Zhen Fu, even if you have a good relationship with him, you must not be soft-hearted. Don't show favoritism just because you two are brothers."
Tang Jianqiu said: "That's natural."
"You have to pay attention to etiquette when you arrive at the Su family. You have always been straightforward. Don't offend others. You must pay attention to everything and don't act rashly."
"Please rest assured, father, I will handle this matter and I will find out the truth!"
After that, the two exchanged a few words, and Tang Guodong resigned first because he had something to do, but Tang Jianqiu was thinking about this countermeasure.
In order to allow Mr. Su to live such a comfortable birthday, he must not act recklessly to avoid offending the powerful, but he must be careful in everything.
So, Tang Jianqiu set off immediately and prepared some big gifts to congratulate Mr. Su on his birthday.
In order to avoid Mr. Su's misunderstanding, it is just a matter of bringing a few trustworthy Jinyi guards with him, and it will be much easier to explain.
After arriving at Su Mansion, Tang Jianqiu was about to report to the officers and soldiers standing in front of the door. Unexpectedly, Su Jing seemed to have guessed that Tang Jianqiu would arrive at this time and immediately opened the door.
"Jianqiu!"
Su Jing was very excited when he saw the visitor, how could he care about etiquette? In front of everyone, he stretched out his big hand and put it on Tang Jianqiu's shoulder.
"Why do you have time to see me? Are you already busy with the affairs of the court?"
"In a few days, Mr. Su's birthday party will be held. My father ordered me to prepare a small gift. I hope you won't dislike it."
As he was talking, Tang Jianqiu looked at the gift wrapped in red paper in Jin Yiwei's hand. This gift looked good from the outside. There were at least ten in number, which was enough to show Tang Jianqiu's sincerity.
However, he was a little confused, how should he say that? It would be inappropriate to say so bluntly.
