Chapter 609: Furious
Guo Wenying had expected that he would be furious, but this anger was inevitably a little louder, and the loud voice roared, which shook people's eardrums.
She was scared enough, and Xu Mao and the others who were guarding outside were also frightened, they rarely saw the emperor make such a big fire, just now such a big case of embezzlement of salt taxes in the four provinces of Jiangnan came out, and they didn't see the emperor lose his temper so much, what is going on at this time?
There were still many officials kneeling in the courtyard outside, and their kneeling legs were sore, and the emperor's roar was heard by the people outside, and they were suddenly so frightened that their legs trembled, and they were afraid that the emperor would regret it and ask for their heads.
Everyone muttered to themselves, and this whispered ask, "Lord Wu, what's going on?"
The one whispered: "I don't know, I saw that the emperor's face was fine just now, why did he get so angry in a blink of an eye?"
No matter what the reason, everyone's hearts trembled, and everyone knew that they would not be able to fall well today.
At this time, in the inner room, Guo Wenying's face became more and more pale, firstly, his heart was suffocated, his stomach hurt, and secondly, he consciously felt guilty about making him angry like this.
Feng Jingting's face was gloomy, and he couldn't get his breath smooth for a long time, and he roared in a low voice: "You say, what do you think? Where do you look like a mother? You are pregnant and refuse to return to Beijing, so you have to run around." How long do you plan to hide it? Do you want me to close my family and cut off my heirs?"
Guo Wenying knew that he was not young, and he had wanted a child for a long time, it was so easy to get pregnant, and she didn't cherish herself, no wonder he was angry like this.
She didn't dare to ask for the tiger's whiskers, so she could only pretend to be weak, "oops" and "oops", looking like she was in pain, Feng Jingting was so frightened that she didn't dare to count her down, and shouted loudly to ask someone to ask for a doctor.
At this time, Xu Mao led the doctor in and took the pulse, and the old doctor stroked his beard and pondered for a while, and then took his robe and knelt down: "Your Majesty, this adult is strong, but the fetal position is a little unstable, I am afraid that there is a danger of slippery tires, and I need to recuperate." ”
Feng Jingting took a deep breath, if it weren't for Guo Wenying being pregnant at this time, he really wanted to strangle her, and he chose such a woman just to make him angry to death?
He was angry here, eager to kill people, and there were still a large number of people kneeling outside, and after waiting for so long and no response, his legs were numb. Seeing that it was getting late, Xu Mao couldn't stand it anymore, and when he came in, he saw Feng Jingting holding a medicine bowl and forcing Guo Wenying to take medicine, she twisted her eyebrows and refused to take it, almost letting him pour it hard.
The two of them talked for a long time in order to drink medicine, it was already dark, Xu Mao looked outside, and couldn't help but speak: "Your Majesty, there are still many officials from the three provinces and thirty-six provinces kneeling in the courtyard." ”
Feng Jingting then remembered that he didn't forgive them for getting up, and he committed such a big thing just a small punishment and a big admonition, and he was already worthy of them. The reason why he sang this big drama today is also to stabilize the court, so many officials are involved, and if they really have to be questioned one by one, how can these many vacancies be filled in a while?
However, it is almost the same to punish them for kneeling today, so he waved his hand and asked Xu Mao to pass on the decree and make them kneel in peace.
When the decree was passed on, those officials were about to kneel and get up from the ground in twos and threes, some of them had knee pain, and they couldn't even walk steadily, and they had to be helped to get up.
How dare they complain about the emperor in their hearts, it is already considered a creation to be able to escape a life, and since they went home to find a way to make up for the silver, they went bankrupt, and there are not a few people who have scraped together.
The matter came to an end for the time being, but it was a trouble that the third prince was not caught.
Lu Weixin led people to chase him out, but he didn't find the shadow of the third prince, and then the city gate was closed and the fugitives were searched all over the city, and they searched all night.
Lu Weixin returned to the post station early the next morning, and when he heard Xu Mao talk about Guo Wenying lying in the room, he couldn't help but say, "Is she injured?"
Xu Mao shook his head and said, "It's not hurt, but it's a great joy." ”
Lu Weixin wondered, "What happy event?"
Xu Mao couldn't help laughing when he saw his forced appearance, and it was also a shame that he was often with Guo Wenying, and he didn't even know about it, he was really dull. It's just that Guo Wenying's pregnancy is still a secret, and it is not appropriate to publicize it to the public, he pursed his lips and smiled, and he didn't squeak, but he made Lu Weixin inexplicable.
At this time, Guo Wenying was lying in the house in a daze, the emperor didn't allow her to get up, and she didn't allow her to see anyone, just now Lu Weixin was outside asking to see, Feng Jingting just stared at her.
Guo Wenying knew that he was still angry, and she didn't dare to respond, but she was still thinking about Jiang Bin and Pi Xiaosan, they had been following the carriage all night, didn't they find anything? It's just that the emperor no longer let her take care of these things, and at night, Feng Jingting drafted a holy decree to dismiss her official, and from today on, she will no longer be the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang.
As the so-called unofficial body is light, it may not be useful to others, but it feels extremely awkward to put it on Guo Wenying, she always feels that there are many unfinished things, and the southeast affairs have not been properly arranged, so she can't help but be unwilling to go back to Beijing like this. But who told her to be pregnant, the emperor looked at her tightly, and he could only obey her wishes.
It was almost noon when Jiang Bin and Pi Xiaosan came back, and they wanted to see Guo Wenying but were prevented from coming back, so they had to go back to the emperor.
Seeing Feng Jingting, the two knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I will go to track down the third prince on the order of Lord Guo, and I will come back to report it." ”
Feng Jingting nodded slightly, "What did you find?"
Pi Xiaosan said: "Back to the emperor, let's follow the carriage and go straight to Mao'er Alley, and later found a strange thing, and caught a female assassin." ”
Speaking of this matter, Jiang Bin is the most vocal, Guo Wenying ordered him to track down the whereabouts of the female assassin, and he has not found anyone outside for many days. In desperation, he returned to Hangzhou, and he didn't dare to go to Guo Wenying to recover his life, and followed Pi Xiaosan and Zhang Qiang to mix together every day.
But who would have thought that today he would pick up a big bargain, track down the person who has not been found for more than ten days, and actually come to the front by himself.
He and Pi Xiaosan followed the carriage and watched through the streets and alleys before stopping when they reached Mao'er Hutong. When the two men saw that the carriage had entered a black-lacquered gate, they quietly followed. Both of them are doing good work, and they have not been discovered for a while.
The courtyard was much larger than expected, and from the outside it was just an ordinary rich house, but inside it was carved and painted very magnificently, and at a glance it was clear that the owner of this place was by no means an ordinary person.
They followed the carriage and saw that they had entered the courtyard at the back, but they did not see a person getting out of the carriage, so they expected that the third prince was not in the carriage at all.
