Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu

There is a golden house in books, and this is indeed true.

Looking at the tip of the iceberg that Hailancha brought back, Hexi's eyes widened for the first time in confusion.

No wonder He Xi was surprised, the box was filled with gold, jewelry, antiques, famous paintings... everything.

When Master Qi saw the familiar box, his pupils shrank, although he was usually calm and composed.

He is a smart man, and one can even say that he has a photographic memory. He knows all these treasures of his by heart and remembers every one of them.

So when Hailancha moved up, he couldn't help but be a little defensive.

Even though he adjusted quickly, he was still noticed by He Xi and others.

Qianlong also noticed that Master Qi was losing control of his emotions, and continued to watch with his eyes narrowed.

If he had no other purpose, what he hated most was corrupt officials, especially those who were good at pretending.

Master Qi hit every single dead end.

"What are these?" Qianlong asked, suppressing his anger.

Hailancha quickly glanced at Master Qi, who was shaking his eyes with some uneasiness.

"Your Majesty, these are questions that should be asked to Master Qi."

"I just happened to run into Master Qi's parents today, and I also happened to find a secret passage in the house that Master Qi bought in town."

"And by chance, I followed the tunnel and found a villa. The whole villa was covered with gold, silver and treasures. It was truly a golden house."

Hailancha spoke in a rare sarcastic tone, and no one knew where he learned this way of speaking.

The main reason was that Hailancha had never seen such a big scene, which was enough to show how many evil things Master Qi had done over the years.

He can still shamelessly pretend to be an incorruptible person.

He Xi wondered if this person had a histrionic personality? Otherwise, he would have believed it himself.

The entire Qi family is like this, enjoying the thrill of making money but not enjoying it. Maybe it's because they suffered a lot in their early years, so they are a little pathological.

In short, He Xi had never seen such a person, but on second thought, there are thousands of people in the world, so it is not surprising that there are a few weird ones.

Master Qi did not protest his injustice as confidently as before.

He also realized that Hailancha came prepared, so it would be better for him to keep silent. No matter how many excuses he made, they would be as pale as paper in the face of evidence.

When Qi's father and mother were brought to the yamen, they were still confused and had no idea that they were the ones who exposed the secret. The family was reunited in another way.

When Mother Qi saw Master Qi kneeling on the ground, she immediately rushed over.

"Son! What's wrong with you?"

Then he looked at the solemn environment, and even the most ignorant person would notice that something was wrong.

"Master Qi, what else do you have to say?"

Master Qi's eyes were red and he looked at Qianlong ferociously.

"You guys forced me to do this."

Master Qi stopped pretending and laid his cards on the table. He was going to die anyway, so he might as well vent out his anger.

"When I was a kid, I almost died of hunger many times, but you people who were born rich are enjoying life."

"Later, I finally had the chance to change my fate with my talent for reading, but it was people like you who made me lose all hope."

At the beginning, Master Qi was highly regarded by the teachers in the academy because of his talent. He was also full of hope.

But there are always people who are better than you. Not long after, a rich young man came to the academy. He not only had a superior family background, but also outstanding talents, which was even better than Master Qi.

Master Qi’s prominent family background set him apart from others from the very beginning.

Some people are born in Rome, while others are rushing to Rome all their lives.

Master Qi is the latter.

In fact, people didn't know Master Qi at all, nor did they know that Master Qi was secretly comparing with him.

Master Qi felt the taste of defeat in this man. No matter how hard he tried, no matter how late he studied, he was always behind that man, and it was all in vain no matter how hard he tried to catch up.

Gradually, Master Qi's mentality became problematic and his grades plummeted. His teacher was very concerned about his condition.

But Master Qi kept silent about his envy, jealousy and hatred, and he remained in this state until that person passed the imperial examination and went to Beijing to take the imperial examination. Master Qi still did not make any progress.

Even because of his unbalanced mentality, his grades did not improve at all. Because his family could no longer afford to support his studies, he ended his journey in the imperial examination as a scholar.

Due to some coincidences, he became a legal advisor, and everything went in a good direction.

Only Master Qi knew that he had been terminally ill and there was no cure.

Master Qi pushed everything onto others, and when he thought of those dark years, he hated them so much.

He hated the unfairness of fate and hated all those who lived better than him.

Especially the Zhou family members next to him.

They have the same status and live in the same difficult situation, so why can they be so happy every day?

And he had to study day and night to get a little hope.

Such resentment reached its peak when they learned that their family had an old feud with the Zhou family.

Although Master Qi had never met Great-grandfather, it did not stop him from hating everyone in his family.

After Wu Liang took office, relying on the fact that he had been in the yamen for many years, Wu Liang trusted and relied on him.

He then reached a deal with the Shen family and Shen Xin in private.

Taking advantage of his status as a local boss, Master Qi secretly put many obstacles in the way of Wu Liang.

He also guided Wu Liang to marry into the Shen family, solving the problem of the Shen family's daughter's marriage worries.

In exchange, Shen Xin found an excuse to cause trouble in Zhoujiazhuang.

Even the death of Zhou Dazhuang's brother was not a surprise.

It was Master Qi who secretly instructed him to do so. He wanted anyone who had a childhood trauma to completely disappear from his life.

Gradually, Wu Liang became involved in corruption with the Shen family, and Master Qi was able to catch Wu Liang's evidence as he wished, making it easier for him to embezzle money.

Master Qi gave up and told everything.

Wu Liang knew that it was Master Qi's fault that everything went wrong when he first took office, and he was so angry that he wanted to pounce on him and bite him a few times.

Master Qi looked nonchalant. Everything was exposed anyway. If nothing unexpected happened, he would not survive. He might as well vent his anger completely.

"You dog emperor! I had such a hard time as a child and studying, and it was all caused by you self-proclaimed righteous people!"

"Of course not!" He Xi interrupted Master Qi's venting with contempt.

She has always believed in "Don't advise others to be good without experiencing their suffering."

But there is no need to empathize with someone as mentally twisted as Master Qi.

There are eight out of ten things in this world that are not satisfactory. She admitted that the world has never been fair, but for someone as extreme as Master Qi, she could only say that most of the problems she has encountered today are her own fault.

Fate was not too harsh on him.

He kept saying that the man from the academy had trampled on his self-esteem, but he was afraid that the man didn't even know there was such a person as Master Qi.

His so-called trampling is just a high-sounding excuse.
