Chapter 64

Feng Jizhong was still worried about whether to publicly investigate the murder of the old lady Feng, Feng Yuer knew that her father was a foolish and filial piety, and in the final analysis, she was still afraid that the matter would spread and ruin the old lady's reputation.

Up to now, Mrs. Feng's affairs are absolutely inseparable from Zhou Bawang, and the Zhou family may not be an insider. It's a complete family ugly.

Zhou watched Feng Yu'er enter the firewood room, and her heart immediately jumped, now she hated this girl to death, and at the same time she was really afraid of her.

"What do you do, I won't tell you anything!" Zhou shrank defensively.

Xingyue behind Feng Yu'er asked curiously, "Girl, is this the Zhou family?" ”

"Why, it doesn't feel like it?" Feng Yu'er asked back with a smile.

"Where," Xingyue said: "It's not that Zhou Bawang confessed, it was said that the killing of the old lady was all instructed by his sister, look at this woman is not like a fierce god!" "On the contrary, it really looks good.

"Who can write on the face of a bad guy? However, Zhou also deserved it...... This week, the overlord was caught, and he wanted to get away with it, and he even dragged his sister to kill the old lady and kidnap me, and now it seems that ...... It's really not human! Feng Yu'er shook her head, pretending to sigh and pity for Zhou.

The more Zhou listened, the more panicked he became, and he shouted violently, "You deceive people, and you won't be caught so easily if you get rich!" ”

"Do you still know where he is?" Feng Yu'er said funny: "By the way, he killed the bald three, I heard that the bald three men have some fish that have slipped through the net, and now they are clamoring now, they must take the life of Zhou Bawang." ”

"Feng Wanyu, what do you want?" Zhou said in more and more panic.

"I don't want to do anything," at this time, Feng Wanyu said with a cold face: "I heard that night, the last thing she saw was Zhou Bawang's mouth, the old Qianpo's servants told the truth, she scolded Zhou Bawang very badly in the house, and what else did she have to tell my father, and then Zhu'er passed the old lady's words and drove everyone in the courtyard outside, but I want to talk about the back?" ”

"I don't know what you're talking about!" Zhou turned his head to the side, but his body was trembling unconsciously.

Feng Yu'er stepped forward in a good mood and brushed Zhou's messy hair, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, anyway, if you don't stay in this firewood room, you have to go to the prison cell to see when your precious brother is caught." ”

Since Jia Dun returned to Feng's mansion, he didn't say what to do to those servants who had bullied him with the old lady before, and when the people in the mansion wanted to respect her virtuousness, he said a little bit about Feng Yu'er, and Jia Dun finally hardened for a while, and looked for Ya Po to sell people to a bitter place.

Feng Fu was suddenly afraid of this pair of girls and ladies who were "sour-faced and cold-hearted" and "soft-faced and ruthless", and no one dared to be as untamed as before.

Here, Feng Yu'er looked at her son Erbao because of Zhou's imprisonment, and her eyes deepened.

Does this guy hate her and her mother?

Feng Yu'er sneered, people have been taught badly, so let them bear it themselves.

That night, the second young master and the Zhou family escaped.

Feng Yu'er is not in a hurry. The guards of the firewood house were so loose, and it was to be expected that they would escape.

Feng Mansion lost the young master, since it was a big deal, he had to send someone to find it, after a busy night, early the next morning, Bai Deheng hurried to the Tongju Mansion, without saying a word, picked up Feng Jizhong and left.

Arrived in Ping'an County.

Looking at the Wuli Lotus Pond, Feng Jizhong, who was holding the corpse of Erbao in his arms, couldn't help crying loudly.

More than ten years ago, he lost a daughter in this lotus pond, and finally lost it again, but now, his only son is buried here.

At this time, someone dragged Zhou over.

Bai Deheng asked, "Aunt Zhou, how did the child fall into the pond." ”

Zhou shivered.

"Don't blame me, he fell into the pond by himself, don't blame my ......" Then he looked at the second treasure in Feng Jizhong's arms, who had lost his breath, and immediately pounced, and muttered: "Son, we have to run quickly, your grandmother will ask for my life with me, it's all because your uncle is not a thing, in fact, it's not to blame for being a mother, go, hurry up!" ”

"Someone, Aunt Zhou's grandmother is too frightened, send her back quickly!" Seeing that Feng Jizhong's teeth had been gritted, Bai Deheng was afraid that the Zhou family would say something bad again, so he hurriedly ordered someone to pull her away.

"Don't touch me!" Aunt Zhou roared violently, "Erbao, Dabao is gone, you must not leave as a mother!" By the way, is Dabao talking to you about being a mother, I can't do it that day, if Dabao can walk and jump with you, how can I be willing to cover him to death for my mother! ”

Everyone at the scene was stunned by this.

Feng Jizhong was also a little incredulous, a mother actually killed her son with her own hands.

After a period of silence, Feng Jizhong opened his mouth and ordered: "Come on, Zhou's life will be hurt, and he will be put in prison immediately!" ”

Because Erbao is not yet an adult, according to the old rites, the child who died before the child is not mourned, so as not to hinder him from reincarnating, so Feng Jizhong only ordered someone to bury the child, and then stopped in the temple where Mrs. Feng's coffin was temporarily housed, preparing to spend a period of time, and then send them back to their hometown for burial.

Feng Yu'er looked at it coldly, she designed to let the Zhou family take the child away, so as not to be an eyesore, but she didn't expect that the Zhou family was useless, so she killed her son within a day of leaving the Feng Mansion.

Feng Jizhong has always disliked Erbao, who was spoiled by Mrs. Feng and Zhou's Jiao, but in the end, this is the only son, and Feng Jizhong still has some feelings. Who would have thought that Ah Bao would die suddenly, which made Feng Jizhong very devastated, to the point that he didn't think about tea and dinner, and within a few days, he was so thin that he lost his appearance, and even had gray hair on his head.

When Jia Dun saw it, he hurriedly greeted the mother-in-law beside him and cared for Feng Jizhong.

Feng Yuer has seen the portrait of Feng Jizhong when he was young these days, and she somewhat understands why Jia Dun still loves Feng Jizhong when he comes back these days.

Feng Jizhong is too beautiful and handsome.

Even now that I'm middle-aged, I'm still good-looking.

After dark that day, Feng Jizhong still didn't go back to the house, Jia Dun felt that it was not a way to let Feng Jizhong be so sad and sad, so he simply pulled Feng Yuer, who has always been able to speak well, to come to the inner hall of her husband's daily office, thinking of comforting Feng Jizhong with his daughter.

Before coming, Jadon ordered a few side dishes and a pot of wine to be prepared, thinking that the mother and daughter would accompany him to drink two glasses.

When they arrived outside the door, the mother and daughter of the Feng family found that the inner hall was dark and dark, and there was no sound.

Feng Yu'er strangely leaned in and took a look.

"When I met Master Bai in the middle of the road just now, he also said that his father was in the inner hall, why didn't he work hard for a while, and the person disappeared?"

"Your father...... I won't be unable to think about it! "Jadon has always been bold, so he can't help but think crookedly.

"That's not all, my mother is guessing again," Feng Yu'er smiled: "Maybe we have a fork in the road with him." ”

The two were about to turn around and go back, but Feng Jizhong's voice came from the inner hall at this time: "Adun, I'm here." ”

Jia Dun and Feng Yu'er couldn't help but be frightened, and when they looked back, there were already candles lit on the inner hall bookcase.

"Father, you're so scared!" After the wine and food were arranged, the family of three sat down around the table, Feng Yuer smiled and said, "You just bluffed my mother a lot, and you thought you couldn't think about something." ”

"You girl, don't talk nonsense." Jadon patted his daughter.

Feng Jizhong was silent for a long time, drank a cup of himself, and then opened his mouth, "There are so many things going on in the past few days, in the final analysis, it's all my fault, it's really ...... Shame on you! ”

Feng Yu'er sneered in her heart, now she finally has self-knowledge.

"Jizhong, I'm also very sad about the matter of Erbao, but I can't blame you for anything, and people can't be resurrected after death, you still have to think about everything." Jatun persuaded.

"Adun, there are too many people I'm sorry for in this life, you are the one who has been hurt the most by me," Feng Jizhong sighed again, "There are also three children, Wan Yu'er was abducted when she was so young, and she suffered a lot outside; Dabao was born a fool, and was finally killed by his mother; Now it's Erbao's turn again, and even his life has been lost, it's all my fault, I didn't even protect my children! ”

Feng Yu'er sneered: "The boss is not the old lady of your family. ”

Jia Dun hurriedly glared at her and signaled Feng Yu'er not to talk nonsense.

Unexpectedly, Feng Jizhong was not angry, but said: "I am talking to Master Bai today, he is reasonable, if it wasn't for the fact that I was obedient to my mother at the beginning, I didn't dare to disobey anything, and I wouldn't have happened so much later, my mother raised me, which is not enough to be humane with outsiders, although my mother is domineering, but she doesn't touch her hands when she commits serious crimes, she just collects some silver, so I have always felt guilty about her and dare not resist, who wants to make a big mistake like this, so that my mother can't see her status clearly." ”

"What kind of character you are, I know it," Jia Dun seemed to know what Feng Jizhong was going to say next, stepped forward and poured another cup for Feng Jizhong, and said: "It's not easy for the widow to pull, it's not wrong for you to repay the favor, the previous things are over, we have to look forward." ”

Feng Jizhong looked at his wife and daughter in front of him, and sighed: "Master Bai has helped me interrogate the Zhou family in the past few days, she has already confessed, Wan Yu'er was abducted back then, and she was jealous of you, so she colluded with Zhou Decai and Zhu'er, and found the bald three to take the child away." ”

Jia Dun was startled at first, she thought that this matter was instructed by Old Madam Feng, but she didn't expect that there was someone else who harmed them, thinking about the past, she couldn't help crying.

"This woman is too vicious, just hate me, why harm my daughter."

At this time, Feng Jizhong withdrew from his seat, made a deep bow to Jia Dun, and said: "Madam, I'm really sorry to be here, on the day of the wedding, I promised Grandpa Guo to treat his daughter well, but I didn't expect that you have been married to the Feng family for many years, and you have not had a good life. ”

"What are you doing here?" Jia Dun hurriedly got up and hugged Feng Jizhong, Feng Yuer didn't know what to say to the couple, and it was completely obvious that the relationship between the two was good.

But they are all so incompetent.

"To tell you the truth, because of Dabao's death, I did have a bad feeling for you in my heart," Feng Jizhong said ashamedly: "You were suffering in those years, and I didn't care about it, in fact, ...... I always thought that Dabao's death was related to you, and I refused to forgive you in my heart. ”

Feng Yu'er chuckled: "Father really has soft ears, I'm afraid that the two mothers-in-law are crying and disturbing their minds, so they follow behind to help the abuse, Master Bai has told me that Zhou leaked his mouth that day, and confessed that the big treasure was covered by herself with a quilt, and she did this just to frame my mother!" ”

When Jia Dun heard this, he couldn't help but think of all the grievances he had suffered before, and he cried again.

Feng Yu'er continued: "There is also Erbao, that night the Zhou family took him to the Wuli Lotus Pond, so as not to let the chasing Yacha find out that his son had fallen into the lotus pond, and the Zhou family refused to call someone to save him, it was really selfish!" ”

"My second treasure!" Feng Jizhong didn't know if he had drunk too much, so he actually fell on the table and cried, and only said after a while: "Now that two of my three children have died, my own mistake seems to have made me go away!" ”

Jia Dun was caressing Feng Jizhong's back beside him, and Feng Yu'er saw that Jia Dun's face finally looked bad.

Feng Yu'er sneered in her heart, descendant, is she still alive? Jatun is also alive, not necessarily unable to live.

I know that my father is cowardly, but this end is also a cycle of cause and effect.

Looking at Jia Dun, she calmly explained: "Okay, father, I know that it is not easy for you, since things are already like this, you still have to look forward." ”

"Yes! It's those two children who are not blessed, and you don't have to blame yourself in your heart. Jatun was also on the sidelines to convince him.

Only Feng Jizhong couldn't stop crying for a while, Feng Yu'er looked at Jia Dun and looked at herself, obviously asking her to say two more words, Feng Yu'er was really tired, if she Jia Dun had so many things, she wouldn't have to live with Feng Jizhong again.

It's just that this is a matter between their husband and wife, and she, as a daughter, has no choice but to say: "Father, people can't be resurrected after death, don't you have to live well, you are for my poor mother, you can't always be so bitter and sad!" ”

Feng Jizhong finally wiped his tears and said: "Son, dad is useless, you are so tired that you have left your parents since you were a child, and now you are the only seedling left in the Feng family, my father swears that in the future, he will give up his life, and he will also protect my son, and no one will be allowed to bully my family Wanyu'er." ”

Feng Yu'er didn't expect it, just be honest and behave in the future, and don't make trouble for her.

Probably poured out all his heart, Feng Jizhong's mood was obviously much better, Jia Dun observed it for a long time, and now he finally let go.

The Zhou family in the prison probably broke the jar and fell, and later actually killed Zhou Bawang for money, wanted to strangle Mrs. Feng, and robbed the money and told the story, Feng Jizhong listened to it, and was stimulated again, and he was seriously ill.

Since Zhou's detention, Bai Deheng has been solely responsible for the interrogation, and now Zhou has confessed all of his confessions and put his fingerprint on the confession, so as not to be sent to the provincial government for retrial.

However, just before leaving, Zhou made a request to see Feng Jizhong again.

Feng Jizhong didn't bother to pay attention to him at all, but Jia Dun persuaded him for a long time, saying that one night husband and wife were one hundred days, for the sake of her giving birth to two children for Feng Jizhong, even if it was a goodbye.

Feng Yu'er was even more speechless.

Jia Dun glanced at Feng Yu'er and beckoned her to sit down: "What's wrong?" Do you think your mother is too much to do? ”

Feng Yu'er was silent.

Jia Dun sighed and said: "For so many years, your father has never looked at Zhou, but after all, she gave birth to two sons to your father, even if she died, you can't deny that she is still in your father's heart, so let him pass, Zhou's unkempt, and now his temperament is not good, your father has passed...... lest he be anxious about it in the future. ”

Feng Yu'er was a little surprised.

Jadon looks like he has a heart, why didn't he use it before?

"You keep calling him father, not father, which shows that you are unfamiliar with him, which is not good......"

"Mother!"

"You have a father and mother who are divorced, and the reputation is not good, why don't you take a step back, your father is soft and guilty about us, so what?"

Feng Yuer's heart suddenly, she thought wrong? It's not that Jia Dun is reluctant to Feng Jizhong, but for her?

"But my father puts everything on the woman, and it's too big for a husband, and he said that after that, am I not his daughter?"

Feng Yu'er asked Jia Dun suddenly.

Jia Dun paused, and it was only when she heard Feng Jizhong's words that she changed her mind.

"Your father can't recognize the facts, like an old lady, and he runs away from things, he is cowardly, Wan Yu'er, just live like this, don't promote him in the future." Jatun sighed sadly.

Feng Yu'er got the result she wanted, but she felt a little guilty when she saw Jia Dun's appearance.

***

Hearing the familiar footsteps coming from afar, Zhou's heart was pounding with excitement, and he hurriedly brushed his straw-like hair, and by the way, he pulled the crumpled prison clothes on his body.

"Zhou, what do you want to say to this official?" The cell door was opened from the outside, and Feng Jizhong walked in, but he refused to look at Zhou, and only sat on a chair that the jailer had moved in.

"Master......" Zhou lowered his head and greeted, but unexpectedly, before the words could be spoken, his face was swept by a piece of paper.

"On that day, you had to go by your own request, and this official promised you," Feng Jizhong looked at a small window with a fence on the prison wall, and said: "This concubine book will be given to you now, what will happen to Suzhou Mansion in the future, and whether you are dead or alive, it has nothing to do with this official." ”

Zhou opened the paper tremblingly, but she was illiterate and couldn't see what was written on it, only Feng Jizhong spit out the word "concubine" in his mouth, and actually gave her a five-thunder bang.

"Master, you can't do this!" Zhou knelt down and crawled to Feng Jizhong's feet, crying: "The concubine has respected her husband all these years, been filial to her mother-in-law, and gave birth to two sons for you. ”

Feng Jizhong was miserable in his heart, respecting his husband? If it is really respectful, why don't you listen to the admonition and do so many hurtful things behind his back; Filial piety to mother-in-law? can watch his brother kill his mother-in-law, and actually help hide the truth; And those two children, how did they die?

Feng Jizhong almost spurted out a mouthful of blood in his heart, he gritted his teeth.

"It's all because you can't learn to keep to yourself, and you can't live because of your own sin, you deserve this result." Then he got up and wanted to leave.

"Cousin, don't go!" Zhou suddenly knelt in front of Feng Jizhong to block the way.

"What else do you want?" Feng Jizhong said: "Could it be that I am asking me to spare your life, hide the evil things you have done, and then take you back to the house, as if nothing has happened, let you continue to be Aunt Zhou?" ”

Zhou was crying silently at this time, and his head fell to the ground and said: "The concubine doesn't dare, I just ask you to forgive the concubine for being confused for a while, I really didn't mean it!" ”

Feng Jizhong stopped and asked, "You were so confused that you killed my two sons and caused my daughters to be sold?" ”

"No, no......" Zhou slammed Feng Jizhong's legs, "The concubine body is a last resort, Erbao is an accident!" ”

"What is a last resort? It's just that you are greedy and shameless," Feng Jizhong tore Zhou apart, "You still have to do it yourself!" ”

As a result, the Zhou family did not relent, he was thrown to the ground, turned around and got up, grabbed one of Feng Jizhong's feet, and said hatefully: "I'm not greedy and shameless, it's just that we have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and my aunt even talked to my parents about you and me, only my cousin is rich and noble, and for the sake of that Jia Dun in Rongguo Mansion, he actually abandoned me, how can you let me swallow this breath!" ”

Feng Jizhong immediately turned around and immediately retorted: "Zhou, the so-called family affairs have always been wishful thinking on your part, when did someone ask me what I mean?" How have I ever said I like you? I never got close to you, I thought you should understand...... The reason why I married Adun is because I had a relationship with her back then, and since then I have admired her, what are you! ”

"Cousin, it's not like that! If you don't like me, why do you want to touch me when you're drunk? Zhou suddenly poured cold water, but he didn't expect Feng Jizhong, who has always been good-natured, to say such mean words in his mouth, directly shattering her beautiful dream of nearly 20 years to smash.

"If it weren't for the mother's soft and hard medicine, if it weren't for you shamelessly ......" Feng Jizhong couldn't go on, although she didn't know how to be honest and her mother's soft and hard work, if he could control himself and not touch the Zhou family, he would not have come to such a place.

When I think about it, I feel very humiliated.

Yes, Feng Jizhong just walked outside the cell, and his sense of humiliation still couldn't dissipate.

Looking back, one day more than ten years ago, when he woke up from his sleep, he found that there was another woman other than his wife lying next to the pillow, and he immediately reacted that there must be something wrong with the wine that his mother and Zhou gave him the night before, so he made a big mistake of regretting it too late.

Then he saw his triumphant mother standing outside.

Not only did her mother sternly refuse to let Zhou leave, but also forced Feng Jizhong to accept her as a concubine, Feng Jizhong also tried to resist, but after a few moves, out of fear and obedience to his mother and birth, Feng Jizhong still nodded cowardly.

And because of this, for a long time, Feng Jizhong didn't dare to look at his wife's eyes, and could only express his apology with silence, but he didn't dare to explain a word.

Later, Feng Jizhong learned to deceive himself and began to convince himself that it was common for men to have three wives and four concubines, and his wife Jia Dun was virtuous, and he did not say anything about it.

However, the arrival of the Zhou family did not bring Feng Jizhong the expected peace, and soon his eldest daughter Feng Yuer inexplicably fell into the pond to "die", and then, Zhou gave birth in August and gave birth to a pair of twins, but the eldest son was a fool, and within a few years, it was Mrs. Feng and Zhou, who insisted that Jia killed her concubine, and began to publicly beat and insult Jia Dun, and even threatened Feng Jizhong to make a big deal about the matter, and handed Jia over to Suzhou Government for investigation.

In order to calm things down, Feng Jizhong could only separate his wife and mother.

"Jizhong, I can meet the Zhou family." Jia Dun, who had been waiting for her husband in the backyard, came forward and interrupted Feng Jizhong's memories.

"I've seen it, and it's been the two of us since then." Feng Jizhong nodded.

"It's getting late, it's time to go back!" Jia Dun didn't express surprise or joy, but stepped forward to take Feng Jizhong's hand, and the husband and wife entered the house together.

Jatun sighed, and couldn't count on him too much in the future.

***

The news of Zhou's death by hanging was brought by Bai Deheng, who is said to have hanged herself under the window of her cell with a trouser belt, and on the ground, there was a paper foam of concubine books.

Feng Jizhong reacted coldly, but Jia Dun cried, and turned around to intercede for Zhou, saying that since Zhou's self-denial, she had confessed her guilt, and this woman was also miserable, she gave birth to two sons who died young, and she was divorced, and now that she is gone, she has to spare people and spare people, it is better to let her and Erbao be buried together, and it is not so lonely on Huangquan Road.

For Jia Dun's bodhisattva heart, Feng Jizhong wants to follow her wishes, everyone thinks that Jia Dun is too old and good, and even some do not distinguish between right and wrong, thinking that if he loses a child, the Zhou family may not be so kind, and he will not be able to solve his hatred if he is frustrated.

But Feng Yu'er knew that Jia Dun had other thoughts, and she didn't know what to say.

When Qin Ye was leaving, he had a long talk with Bai Deheng, and after this person met Tu Yuanhui, he had the determination to enter Beijing to take the exam in this twilight year.

Before this, he was still Feng Jizhong's staff member and helped the confused Feng Jizhong to star.

Everything was fine in Feng's mansion, time passed quietly, and Feng Yu'er received a letter from Tu Yuanhui again. It turned out to be a secret letter, Feng Yuer thought that there was some important secret, and when she took this "Analects" and translated it, she was speechless.

The letter written by this prince is the same as his man's virtue, and it was quite serious in the front, but later, it was all nonsense.

At the beginning, Tu Yuanhui only said that the emperor toured Beijing from the south, and began to put pressure on him, complaining that he followed the emperor to deal with government affairs every day, and he was so busy that he couldn't lift his head, and he was simply treated as a livestock envoy, but the emperor got a lot of free time because of this, and went to the harem from time to time to comfort his favorite concubines.

What's more, he already knew that Feng Yuer was looking for her parents, and said that he was very happy for her, and now that everything has been settled, he will think of marrying Feng Yuer as soon as possible.

Then the style of painting became more and more crooked, Tu Yuanhui first said that Feng Yuer had no conscience, and then he was lonely all day long, extremely lonely, but someone was eating and drinking spicy food in Ping'an County, and he didn't care how he made people haggard for Yi, and now he still endures it, and when the conscienceless girl falls into his hands one day, the prince will torture her mercilessly to death.

At the end of the reading, Feng Yuer was completely speechless.

Fortunately, this is a secret letter made with the "Analects", otherwise people would see it, and his image would have been completely ruined.

Only this first letter came, followed by the second letter and the third letter...... Soon even the Feng family and his wife knew that the prince delivered a letter to his daughter twice in three days, and it was extremely hot to think about.

At the beginning, Feng Jizhong, as a father, was quite happy and proud, but this Hongyan book was endless, which inevitably made Feng Jizhong feel a sense of crisis.

That night, Feng Jizhong lay on the bed and tossed and turned, sighing twice from time to time, and woke up Jia Dun, who was already asleep next to him.

"But what's wrong?" Jia Dun leaned over and asked, touching Feng Jizhong's head.

"It's okay," Feng Jizhong snorted and turned his back, but after a while, he sighed again.

Jia Dun sensed that Feng Jizhong had something in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "If you are unhappy, I will listen to it, why bother to keep it in my heart." ”

Feng Jizhong simply sat on the bed and said, "Wan Yu'er really wants to marry that one in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to see our daughter." ”

"You!" Jia Dun couldn't cry or laugh, "When your daughter grows up, she will marry after all, do you still want to keep her for the rest of your life?" ”

Feng Jizhong felt in his heart that his wife didn't understand him, what he meant was that a few days after his daughter came back, someone came to rob them and the old couple, and they went to the capital as soon as they robbed it, although it was said that it was not far away, but it was necessary to drive for a month and a half and a month, and it may not be easy to see their daughter in the future.

"I've really seen the prince a few times," Jia Dun remembered that time when he was in Heyuan, Tu Yuanhui hurriedly came over to look at Feng Yu's childhood, from the eyes of the two children looking at each other, Jia Dun could see that they really loved each other, although they felt that it was a little inappropriate for the two to live together before they got married, but who called someone the prince, some rules were not set up for these big people.

"Don't worry, the prince is very good to our girl." Jatun was reassured.

"No matter how good it is, that person will also be the emperor in the future, I don't know how many concubines there are, our Wanyu'er family background is not good, at most she is just a concubine, and I don't know how much bullying I will have to suffer when I turn around." The more Feng Jizhong thought about Vietnam, he felt worried, and when his daughter was wronged, he was afraid that he, the father, would not even dare to say a heavy word about his son-in-law.

"Women, naturally they all want to find someone who feels sorry for themselves," Jia Dun leaned his head on Feng Jizhong's shoulder, "I think our daughter has a good eye, and the prince is quite responsible." ”

"There are a lot of good men in this world," Feng Jizhong suddenly said: "Bai Deheng knows a lot of people, I want him to help, see if there are any innocent and easy-tempered young men in this Ping'an County, why don't we recruit a son-in-law?" ”

Jia Dun couldn't help but slap Feng Jizhong, and it was difficult to say that his daughter was already the prince's person, and their Feng family dared to recruit their son-in-law on the front foot, and it was possible for the prince to personally lead troops to raid the house.

"When you are the Ken Bai who helps Wan Yu'er find her father, you have a long-term plan, you and I can just complain about this, but you are not allowed to talk nonsense outside."

Feng Jizhong's statement of recruiting a son-in-law is just a moment of crankiness, he may not dare to do this disobedient thing to the royal family, but every time he thinks about it, he has been in the bag for a lifetime, and he has to keep his voice down when he sees anyone, and if he recruits a son-in-law in the future, he will not be respected, and he is afraid that he will have to kowtow to others, and he is really frustrated and panicked.

Tu Yuanhui at the other end of the capital would never have thought that he would help Feng Yu'er find his parents, and by the way, he also recruited an old father-in-law who regarded him as the enemy who robbed his daughter, and he was holding the invitation of the governor of Suzhou, wondering in his heart whether he should give Feng Jizhong a promotion, and what position to give so that it would not be obvious.

It turned out that the abduction case brought out by Jiaxing Mansion made the provincial government make a big move, and the big case was cracked in successive days, and the nine abduction gangs that had been entrenched in Jiangsu and Zhejiang for many years and caused many people's wives to be separated were seized.

Among them, because Feng Jizhong, the first trial of the abduction case, also won a lot of credit.

It is precisely because he captured Shan Pingyuan's daughter-in-law alive, and tried Shan Pingyuan himself and dozens of his abductors along the way, plus the Suzhou Mansion was able to do things this time, and found several other groups of people in one go, this time he finally gave an explanation to the people, and the governor of Suzhou specially asked for a reward for this.

In front of the bookcase in the imperial study, looking at the Tu Yuan Hui sandwiched in the fold, and the annotations neatly written on the Shu Xuan with a small pen, Emperor Hongsheng couldn't help but nod in approval.

"This time Suzhou Mansion did a beautiful job, but why did you only praise Feng Jizhong twice, such an official who puts the people's suffering in his heart is really too few, and he should be greatly praised."

Tu Yuanhui deliberately pondered for a moment, and said: "Feng Jizhong, Erchen has seen his performance appraisal, and he has always seen the local evaluation of his official position, which is not superior, but it is also unusual, no matter where he is an official, it is not a big deal, not to mention capital crimes, even exile and other serious crimes, he has not been sentenced, and he can be regarded as a magistrate who has not been convicted of serious crimes and murders for more than ten years in this dynasty." ”

When Emperor Hongsheng heard this, such a situation really needed some luck.

Tu Yuanhui continued: "This case is the biggest case he has been an official for many years, and this time it is indeed because of him that the case was solved, but I heard that there are also cases outside the case, but it has nothing to do with him. ”

"How?" Emperor Hongsheng asked with great interest.

"Erchen sent someone to ask, the evil kidnapper Shan Pingyuan is now dead, and he died in the hands of Feng Jizhong's concubine brother Zhou Decai, and the murderer has not been captured so far, as for the reason why Zhou Decai wanted to kill Shan Pingyuan, it has not been possible to verify, although Feng Jizhong personally reported the matter to Suzhou Mansion, he still can't get rid of the suspicion of lax family education." Tu Yuanhui said that he had already thought it through, "Those who are officials must be upright in order to educate the people." ”

"You kid, it's good to be very disciplined, but in the appointment of officials, you are a little too cautious," Emperor Hongsheng shook his head disapprovingly, "People are not sages, who can do no fault, this Feng Jizhong, can kill relatives with righteousness, this is worthy of praise." ”

"The ministers have made a mistake in thinking, and the emperor has made a point," Tu Yuanhui hurriedly admitted his mistake and suggested, "It's just that Feng Jizhong's political achievements in the past were mediocre and he has been an official for more than ten years, but only doing this one practical thing is a reward, and it should not be too much." ”

"Tell me what you think, then?"

"Feng Jizhong's official talent is still a little lacking, and his sons think that even if he really wants to be promoted, he can't be raised too high, and his way of doing things is not suitable for the political side."

Emperor Hongsheng smiled and praised: "You think thoughtfully, let the people below check where there is a suitable vacancy, and let him fill it." ”

"Yes." Tu Yuanhui had an idea in his heart, and he wanted to transfer Feng Jizhong to the position of the head of the idle case.

His father-in-law is indeed not a material for the political side.

***

Outside the gate of the East Palace, a child holding a dog blocked Tu Yuanhui's way.

Xiao Dezi hurried forward to salute: "Sixteenth master, you are here again!" ”

"You lazy boy, this is the light of reading, what are you doing here with me." Tu Yuanhui scolded with a smile.

"I just got out of school, and I didn't have a place to play, so I came over." Tu Yuanting hugged the poodle and said aggrievedly, but he sighed in his heart, the East Palace without Yu'er became more and more impersonal.

Tu Yuanhui didn't say hello either, and went directly to the door by himself.

Tu Yuanting followed familiarly, and as soon as he stepped into the dormitory of the East Palace, he threw the poodle to the ground and instructed, "While playing, I have something to say with my second brother." ”

Served by Xiao Dezi and changed into a regular dress and walked out of the hall, Tu Yuanhui turned his head and asked Tu Yuanting, who was kneeling on the stool to eat snacks, and said, "You have something to say quickly, the second brother is busy now, and I don't have time to accompany you to walk here." ”

Tu Yuanting looked left and right, and there was no one else waiting, so he whispered: "Second brother is from the imperial study?" ”

"Exactly."

"What did my father say to you?" Tu Yuanting rolled his eyelids and asked.

"He talks a lot, which one do you mean?" Tu Yuanhui asked.

Tu Yuanting immediately opened his mouth that had just lost his front teeth, and laughed even quieter: "Yesterday, my father took me to Zhen Guifei's palace, and you know that the third brother born to the concubine is not young, and the two of them discussed the matter of marrying a daughter-in-law to the third brother. ”

Tu Yuanhui suddenly understood.

"Since my father felt sorry for the second brother, he said that in addition to you and the third brother, several other adult sons all married wives and had children, and now the third brother has married again, but there is no second brother left who has not married."

Tu Yuanhui just smiled.

At this time, Tu Yuanting suddenly got closer, and asked more quietly, "Second brother, what is a hidden disease?" ”

However, he still let Xiao Dezi next to him hear it, and he couldn't help but "poof" when he heard this, and then immediately lowered his head, but looking at his words, he still couldn't help but shrug his shoulders now.

"Who taught you to say that?" Tu Yuanhui shouted.

Tu Yuanting said: "It was my father who said it, you dare to say that it is nonsense, but it is not a bully, my father said that the second brother of the prince, your backyard is empty now, how can you not even like a woman at a young age, is it not that you have some hidden disease, and you are embarrassed to say it, my father thought, I want to let the hospital secretly give you a look." ”

Tu Yuanhui's face suddenly turned blue and white, no wonder the imperial doctor went to the imperial study to ask for peace during the day, and his father had to let people show him too.

"Tu Yuanting, who gave you the courage to take the second brother for fun." Tu Yuanhui couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, and said that he was going to arrest Tu Yuanting.

Tu Yuanting happily ran straight in the house, but after a while, he was captured alive by Tu Yuanhui like a chicken, so he had to say breathlessly: "Second brother spare my life, I still have important things to say!" ”

"What else is important for you kid besides eating!" Tu Yuanhui didn't care about Tu Yuanting's begging for mercy, and he was going to make a gesture and beat his ass.

"Second brother spare me," Tu Yuanting said while struggling: "It's really something, it was my father who said it, taking advantage of this draft effort, I want to pick a daughter-in-law for you and the third brother." ”

Tu Yuanhui's outstretched hand in the air suddenly stopped.

"What did you say?"

"Also, Concubine Zhen always mentioned the girl of Li Xiang's family to the emperor, saying how the girl fell in love with the second brother, and the family has a good character, she is also smart and capable, and she looks good, what else did she say, she was too nervous when she saw the prince for the first time, so she made a mistake, and she cried for a long time after going back!" Tu Yuanting couldn't help but ask curiously, "Second brother has seen her before?" ”

At this time, Tu Yuanhui was thinking about Li Yueyun, and he shook his head.

Is he really pinched in the mud, or does he simply take the position of the crown princess as his own bag? 166 Reading Network
