Grandma Sun looked dazed when she heard this. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"The slave and maid are not very clear, the slave and maid only remember that when the lady entered the house, the second master was not a transfer envoy, he was ordered by the emperor to go to the south to run an errand, and he went for four years, and when he returned from the south, he took his wife with him. ”
At that time, the old lady had already selected a family affair for the second master in Beijing, and she was the second daughter of the third room in the Hou Mansion, but the second master said that the lady was the wife of the Ming Media who was marrying the church, and she would never give up, and then personally went to the Yan Yu Hou Mansion to take the blame and quit the family business. ”
"The old lady had a big fight with the second master for this, and even the second master divorced his wife with a dead appearance, the second master should not, and moved out with his wife, or later the uncle persuaded him, saying that the second master had meritorious service in the south at that time, and he would add an official to the knight when he returned to Beijing. ”
Feng Qiao never knew about this past, and he didn't know that when his mother married into the Feng Mansion, the people of the Feng family didn't like her so much.
"What about my grandfather, do you know where my grandfather's house is?"
Grandma Sun shook her head.
"Back then, the second master just said that Mrs. was the only daughter of a wealthy businessman surnamed Cheng in Liucheng, Nandi, and the Cheng family was kind to him, but the Cheng family suffered a tragedy, and encountered robbers when they went out, and both the old lady and the old lady died in an accident, leaving only the lady. ”
"After Madame entered the house, she never had contact with her mother's family, and no one came to visit her. Mrs. has a cold temperament, never pays attention to everything in the house, and never goes out to socialize with the old lady, she only guards the Xie Lan Courtyard for half a step. ”
"After giving birth to Miss, Mrs. has not been in good health, and then Mrs. died suddenly, the second master was grief-stricken, holding Mrs.'s body for several days without eating, the old lady was angry, and let the uncle destroy the body of the lady, and the second master almost killed the uncle for this......"
Mama Sun is the old man in the Feng Mansion.
She originally served Mrs. Feng, then served the second master, and then followed the second lady, and then Feng Qiao was born.
The second lady has always been in poor health, so she was sent to take care of Feng Qiao until now.
She knows more or less about the things in the house, when Mrs. Feng quarreled with Feng Qizhou over the matter of the second lady, the trouble can be described as earth-shattering, and she has even witnessed that scene.
Later, the second lady died suddenly, and the fire not only burned the body of the second lady, but also completely burned the mother-son relationship between the old lady and the second master.
In the past, no matter what the second master did, even if he didn't like the old lady's strength anymore, and no longer liked the old lady meddling in everything, he would have scruples, and even compromise and avoid, but after that time, when the second master faced the old lady, he no longer had the same appearance as he did back then.
Even her, an outsider, could see that the reason why the second master stayed in the mansion later and took care of everyone in the Feng Mansion was just for the young Feng Qiao and the only remaining trace of blood and family.
Feng Qiao listened to Mama Sun slowly talking about the events of the year, listening to the past she didn't know, and listening to Old Madam Feng actually let people destroy her mother's body, leaving her bones gone, and a touch of evil gradually appeared in her eyes.
Ji Jiu took Grandma Sun down and sent her back to the previous firewood room, while Feng Qiao stood in the room for a while, looking at the dark night outside for a long time, and then got up and went to Feng Qizhou's study.
The main courtyard, in the study.
Feng Qizhou sat on a chair and was sorting out some of the news he had obtained after interrogating Qiu Pengcheng at the Criminal Department today.
Before the Canghe River was extended, the grain of the official warehouse in Lin'an was embezzled by Qiu Pengcheng without permission, and he sold it as private grain in exchange for money.
The Canghe River burst its embankment, the official warehouse had no food, and Qiu Pengcheng was unable to provide disaster relief, which caused the displaced people to rise in all directions, and later caused cholera so that Cao He took advantage of the situation and almost captured the southern capital.
Qiu Pengcheng panicked because of this, and hurriedly requisitioned the people's grain in the city to fill the official warehouse, originally wanting to smooth out the matter, but he didn't want to go out of Fengxian.
Although Qiu Pengcheng didn't say anything until now, why he suddenly switched to Cao Qi, Feng Qizhou knew that it was because the fake Qiu Lanjiu was held by Xiao Minyuan, and the fact that he secretly hid the rebellion leaked, so he had to rebel.
Now that Qiu Pengcheng has been brought to justice, it can be said that the evidence of the crime is conclusive, but Emperor Yongzhen is obviously not satisfied with this.
Under the holy order, they were ordered to strictly interrogate Qiu Pengcheng, in order to have in his hands the criminal evidence of those ministers of the DPRK and China who were involved in the flood corruption case and even involved in the Lin'an disaster.
Wu Rong said that in the past few days, there have been many people who have gone to the Criminal Department and Dali Temple to investigate, and some people have even secretly attacked Qiu Pengcheng.
A few nights ago, someone visited the Punishment Department and Dali Temple at night, intending to cut Qiu Pengcheng to the roots, his methods were sophisticated and ruthless, his movements were skillful, and he immediately retreated if he missed a blow, even if he poured the strength of the Punishment Department and Dali Temple, he did not take down those people.
Fortunately, Wu Rong and Zhang Jili were on guard and did not detain Qiu Pengcheng in two prisons, but handed him over to the Fengtian Mansion, which saved Qiu Pengcheng's life.
"Second master, that Qiu Pengcheng already showed signs of loosening his mouth, but today he suddenly bit down and refused to speak, he seems to have a handle in someone's hands. ”
Yun Sheng frowned and said.
Feng Qizhou said lightly when he heard this: "In addition to seeing me today, it is Cai Yan, and now everyone knows that Cai Yan is the person of King Xiang, if he really has a handle to be manipulated, it can only be in the hands of King Xiang." ”
"But as far as his subordinates know, King Xiang did not participate in the corruption of Canghe..."
"It's true that he wasn't involved in corruption, but what about anything else?"
Yun Sheng was slightly stunned.
Feng Qizhou held the pen in his hand, looked up at Yun Sheng and said lightly: "King Xiang has been in Lin'an for more than half a month, and he has already fallen into such a situation. Everyone thought that he would return in embarrassment, but he was able to reverse the situation under such circumstances, not only returned beautifully, but also made His Majesty make an exception to seal him the throne of the prince. ”
"Do you think that you can do this just by relying on Cai Yan and relying on the 20,000 new elite soldiers in Cai Yan's hands?"
Although Cao He gathered a rabble, there were nearly 200,000 troops, and after adding the surrender of Qiuzhou, Lu'an, and Tianfeng, and Qiu Pengcheng was forced to surrender, the tens of thousands of garrisons of villains in Lin'an City, Cao He had at least more than 300,000 troops in his hands.
When Xiao Min went south, Li Su brought 50,000 men with him, even if he added the 20,000 elite soldiers that Cai Yan later replenished, it was only 70,000 people, which did not remove the loss when he captured Fengxian County halfway and went to Anyu to fight with the royal guards.
If there were no other means, how could Xiao Minyuan open the gate of Lin'an City so easily, and force Cao Ji, who was far above him, to the point of trapping Tian Feng?
