Chapter 223 The Prince who sacrificed his ideal

The 'monster' was secretly glad that he had escaped, but Qin Lei strode to him again after he finished training, and asked with a smile: "Where are your muscles? Why are you skin and bones left? It's obvious that you lack exercise!"

The monster secretly called bad luck, so he had to stand there with his chest and a belly-sagging, waiting for the prince's order, "Go and find Xu Ke to accompany you." He had to respond loudly, turn around and run out.

Qin Lei stood in the middle of the team and was about to speak when he heard the monster outside shouting: "Report to the instructor, the table is too small and the butt is too big, so my subordinates can't squeeze it up!"

Qin Lei sighed helplessly: "Monster, you can come back." The non-commissioned officer from the numbered cave, ran back with no excitement on his face. He couldn't believe that the prince would be so kind.

Sure enough, Qin Lei slowly said: "Move a coffee table from the house..."

Dong Yaoguai thought it was okay, and replied loudly: "Yes!" Then he moved a coffee table from the house and ran out with him...

Qin Lei didn't blame the two outsiders for turning their eyes back to the queue and asked in a deep voice: "Do you know where you were wrong today?"

The team was silent for a while, and no one dared to speak. Qin Lei didn't care and pointed at him casually and said, "Xu Tan, you can answer."

Xu Tan's throat tightened and he whispered loudly: "Report to the instructor, we shouldn't make noise for no reason..."

"Move a table out." Qin Lei walked to the next person without blinking, and said in a deep voice: "You said!"

"Report to the instructor, we shouldn't set up a gamble..."

"Move the table."

The old man had to go out quickly with the one just now, carrying a large square table.

Qin Lei continued to walk forward and asked the third one: "You said."

"Reporting instructor, we have not put what you taught into practice, and have failed your efforts!" As he said, his eyes were already looking around the house, hoping to find something like a table and a coffee table...

Who would have thought Qin Lei nodded and smiled and said, "I've got some touches, so you've got half of the answer."

The black-clothed guard felt relieved. As soon as he said in his heart, Shen Pi was so good, but the prince said lightly: "Move the table out..."

Without waiting for this, the guy was stunned and said in a daze: "Aren't I half right? What's the same treatment?"

Qin Lei said 'oh' and smiled sorry, "It's true that it can't be the same, at least half of his body cannot be punished." He said with a gentle smile: "Then don't move the table, don't stance, move a stool to go to the Golden Rooster to be independent..."

Qin Lei continued to train one by one until he drove all the black guards out, either stole horses or took the big head...

There was only one black-clothed guard left in the room to treat the fourth brother. He had finished his work, squatted on the ground, tilted his head, and said pitifully: "Prince, the Fourth Master is awake."

Qin Lei nodded and smiled gently, "Go and move a chair..."

The black-clothed guard squatting on the ground lamented in his heart, it turned out that the prince had planned to take us all in the morning. He got up and moved a chair obediently, lowered his head and walked out.

"Come back... where do you want to move the chair?" Qin Lei asked strangely.

"Go out..." The black-clad guard whispered: "Take the big one..."

"You just want to take the big top so much? Gu asked you to move a chair for me, but he didn't let you go out." Qin Lei said with a depressed look on his face.

The black-clothed guard moved the chair behind Qin Lei in aggrievedly and whispered: "Prince, please sit down."

Qin Lei nodded, lifted his clothes, and sat down on the chair with a big sword and a golden horse. But he saw the black guard standing next to him with a look of uneasiness. Qin Lei comforted him after hearing this, "Don't worry, I will not punish you..."

The black-clothed guard smiled gratefully, but he still hesitated: "Prince, I want to apply for something to you..."

"What's the matter?" Qin Lei asked with interest.

"I want to go out and get the big top..." The black-clad guard said. "Everyone has gone out, it's not good for me to stay alone..."

"Hu", let out a sigh of relief, Qin Lei nodded and said, "It makes sense, but there is only one chair in the room, and I still have to sit still. I can only feel wronged that you can go out and squeeze with them." As he said that, he looked out and said in surprise: "I see that square table is quite wide and fast, so there should be no problem."

The black-clothed guard shrank his neck and whispered, "Then I'm out..." As soon as he finished speaking, he ran out as if he was running away.

Only Qin Lei sitting on a chair and the fourth brother lying on the ground were left in the room.

"Since you wake up, don't pretend to be dead." Qin Lei said coldly. His voice was ten times harder than when he was talking to the black guard just now.

The man lying on the ground slowly opened his eyes and looked around blankly. Finally, his eyes fell on Qin Lei, dressed as a scholar. The fourth brother had been awakened for a while, but he was really scared by walking in the gate of hell. He really came to his senses, but the black guard who had just taken care of him stood up and talked to Qin Lei.

Just now, he had heard the black-clothed guard call the white-faced scribe "Prince", but he couldn't remember that the royal family had such a silly prince. Could it be that this is the underworld... The fourth brother thought absurdly.

But Qin Lei had to suppress his anger so that he could not stop stomping on his face, but he did not have the interest to talk nonsense to him. He said without any emotion: "I guess you know your destiny too."

The fourth brother thought to himself, the sound sounded familiar, but I haven't heard it for a long time. Could it be... He suddenly widened his eyes and said with a hoarse voice: "Qin Lei...you are Qin Lei..."

Qin Lei snorted coldly, as a default.

"Why are you so old?" Lao Si asked in a daze.

He shook Qin Lei, who had been holding the shelf, and with a little depressed expression, he uncovered the disguise materials on the bottom, restoring his original appearance.

Seeing that it was Qin Lei, Qin Ji suddenly became excited and screamed, "Xiao Wu is really you," and then he got up and hugged Qin Lei's thighs, and burst into tears: "Brother, I'm sorry for you. I was thinking before hanging that if I didn't touch you with those bad intentions, I wouldn't have been forced to hang myself today. I'm sorry for you, wow..."

In fact, when the fourth brother rushed over, Qin Lei wanted to kick him away, but he also knew that he would completely collapse with the fourth brother. Instead of saving him in the future and letting him hold a grudge, it would be better to chop him up with one knife now. Resisting the urge to raise his foot and kick someone, Qin Lei looked at the fourth brother without saying a word and cried and howled while holding his thigh.

After crying for a while, seeing that Qin Lei had no reaction, the fourth brother stopped crying and sobbed, "The fourth brother is almost dead, can't you forgive me for this time?"

Qin Lei saw his nose and tears in his eyes, but he couldn't tell what he felt. He moved his right leg slightly, pushed Qin Ji's fat face away, and said lightly: "Who said you're about to die?"

The fourth brother's round face wrinkled into a chrysanthemum and said miserably: "My grandfather, the Minister of Rites Zhao Jili, said when he came to visit. He said that Wen Yanbo's people had already made this case a tough case, and even the father and emperor could not overturn the case."

Qin Lei nodded and said nothing. Seeing that he was silent, Qin Ji thought he was just here to visit the prison. He let go of Qin Lei's calves and sat cross-legged on the ground and said bitterly: "Oh, now, I don't blame anyone anymore. I just blame me for overestimating myself and always thinking about using conspiracy to threaten others. Unexpectedly, without real strength, all plans are jokes in the eyes of others. If they are really unhappy, they can retake what they gave you before at any time and then turn you into the eighteenth level of hell."

Qin Lei looked at the gray-tongued fourth brother in surprise. It seemed that this attack made him understand a lot. Thinking of this, Qin Lei said in a deep voice: "Yes, your biggest problem is that you are short-sighted, narrow-minded, extra conspiracy, and lack of style. You don't know who to unite or who to deal with. And you are extremely greedy and do not know how to advance or retreat. You don't know that your tricks are just a disgusting low-level joke in the eyes of real strong men. If you don't change yourself, you will escape this by chance today, and you will inevitably be able to kill the Dragon Sword in the future!"

The fourth brother felt that every word Qin Lei would remove his disguise, exposing his stupid and incompetent real image little by little to broad daylight, leaving him ashamed but nowhere to hide. He could only listen with a blushing face, but at the end, his eyes suddenly became big, and Huo De half-kneeled, grabbed Qin Lei's clothes tightly, and begged, "What did you say? I heard it right? Did you hear it wrong? Do you have a way to save the Fourth Brother?"

Qin Lei didn't say anything or not, but just said in a deep voice: "Answer a few questions first!" Qin Ji nodded and said: "Fifth brother, just ask, brother, I know everything."

Qin Lei nodded and asked, "Miss Nianyao was arranged by you at the beginning, so why did you rob her again?"

Qin Ji got up from the ground and wanted to find a chair to sit, but he found that the tables and chairs in the room were gone, but he didn't want his subordinates to reply, so he had to sit cross-legged on the carpet again, looking up at Qin Lei on the chair.

Qin Lei pretended not to see his embarrassment, but waited for him to speak with a deep face. The fourth brother scratched his head hard and said depressedly: "This matter is a bit weird, but you still have to start from the beginning. You also know that I was originally in charge of the Ministry of Eunuchs, but later I took over the errands from the Ministry of Revenue and had no time to clone it, so I exchanged with my third brother."

Qin Lei nodded and signaled him to continue to say, and the old man said with guilt last spring: "Last spring, it was rumored that the government and the country were tight and the Ministry of Revenue was in corruption. My third brother and I planned together, this might be an opportunity..."

"How to say it?" Qin Lei saw that he not only wanted to answer his own questions, but also had to explain the whole story clearly, and he was quite satisfied with his attitude.

"We both prefer numerology and calculation since we were young. When we grew up, our father sent errands to the provincial and provincial government errands. As a result, we found that we had some advantages in managing money and grain, and we were also very good at making a living. But you also know that these things are all minor things. The ministers praised us as powerful as Bai Gui Taozhu, but they talked about it behind their backs, saying that we were seldom stinking to the end and were full of stinking money..."

The fourth brother gritted his teeth and continued, "I don't understand. If we were not for the stinky figures of money, how could they enjoy the abalone sea cucumbers on the coast of the East China Sea, the coconut bananas on the ends of the earth, and these rare things, how could they wear the Su silk from Nanchu and the silk from Dongqi! Not to mention where their wealth came from? It was not earned by the combination of officials and businessmen!"

The fourth brother spread his hands excitedly and complained loudly to Qin Lei: "This is unfair! While enjoying the rich wealth brought by us, the so-called "prodigal businessmen", they wantonly belittled and slandered and excluded and suppressed us! This is unfair!"

Qin Lei could not have imagined that this guy was actually somewhat idealistic, and couldn't help but sigh: "This is a kind of accumulated problems that have been passed down for thousands of years, and we can't change it."

The fourth brother shook his head suddenly and said, "No, how can you know if you haven't tried it?" He soon became depressed again and said softly, "The third brother also advised me like this at that time, but I didn't listen."

Qin Lei nodded and asked in a deep voice: "What does this have to do with Nian Yao?"

The fourth brother said embarrassedly: "At that time, I naively thought that as long as I could take over the Ministry of Revenue, with my third brother and I, I would definitely be able to reverse the deficit in the treasury and make everyone look at me with admiration. So I have been trying to win the director of the Ministry of Revenue, but at that time, I heard that my younger brother, who had been pledging for 16 years in Qi State, came back, and I also heard that my second brother intended to recommend you to the Ministry of Revenue. I was anxious when I heard it, thinking that we had never met before, so I would not be sorry for cutting your face, so..."

"Just change my hooded wine to a stool?" Qin Lei asked with a smile. It has been a long time since the incident and he has taken revenge. The anger at that time has changed a little, and it is a bit funny to think about it.

The fourth brother said embarrassedly: "Well, I arranged the ceremony and banquet..."

Qin Lei whispered, "You are stupid enough. You are rushing to do things that others can't avoid suspicion. You don't tell me about making enemies for nothing. If I really fall that day, I will lose my face alone, but the face that our royal family has only left!"

The fourth brother said embarrassedly: "When I thought about it later, I really felt it was inappropriate. But since I was a child, I became a habit of thinking about the benefits before doing it, and regretting the disadvantages after doing it."

As he said that, he bowed and said, "Fifth brother, please forgive me, brother, you're sorry."

Qin Lei frowned and said in a deep voice: "Talk serious matters, don't interrupt!"

Qin Ji nodded awkwardly and then said, "In addition to wanting you to lose someone, I also went to Yeting Palace in advance to find a bold and intimidating person who caused trouble to throw him to your side. As soon as I went there, I saw a tall and beautiful girl chasing and beating the teacher's nanny with a broom. When I asked the manager, I realized that the girl's name was Nianyao. That day, she was tricked into Yeting Palace by her lazy gambling father that day and sold it. But this girl had a very bad temper. After she figured out the situation, she started to get angry. The teacher asked her to take off her clothes and check it, but she chased and beat her."

Qin Lei's brows frowned even tighter, and he said coldly: "I know everything after this until Nian Yao is unconscious. Just tell me why you want to snatch this girl back again."

Seeing Qin Lei's face unwilling expression, Qin Ji said softly: "Brother, don't be angry with your brother anymore. At that time, she didn't know her identity. She just thought she was a girl from a poor family. I just wanted to let that fake Taoist second brother dislike you, and I didn't think about you. Forgive me, brother." For a noble like him, ordinary people are like playing with mud. Even if they play with and trample on them, they will not feel any guilt, let alone guilt.

Qin Lei slapped the handrail impatiently and shouted: "You talk about something nonsense and leave alone, no matter what you are doing."

Although Qin Lei spoke sternly, Qin Ji was smiling. How could he not hear that Qin Lei's tone had loosened, and he even said in disguise that he would help him. He nodded and bowed: "Stop talking nonsense, I'll say I'll say."

He said a little sighed, "I almost forgot about this a few months after this incident. But one day, the manager of my mansion reported that a rogue outside claimed that there was a major news to be reported to me. That day, he was bored and saw the man by chance."

Qin Lei said in a deep voice: "Is that Nian Yao's father?"

"Yes, not right." The third brother said awkwardly: "He said he had raised a daughter for others for 16 or 17 years, and then he realized that Nian Yao was not his biological child, so he wanted to exchange her father's identity for some money to pay back the gambling debt." He said with a little funny saying, "That fool has never seen the market, so he asked for two thousand taels when he spoke."

"Did you give it to him?" Qin Lei asked curiously.

"As far as one thousand taels are concerned..." Qin Ji said proudly. Seeing Qin Lei looked contemptuous, he hurriedly explained: "These rascals are the most greedy. If I agree in one bite, he will definitely think that he has suffered a loss and will have troubles."

Qin Lei said depressedly: "I say the third brother, can't you tell the point? I don't know if my time is precious?" He said, "Say! Who is Nianyao's father?"
