5. Disciplinary Hall
Since that day, Feng Zi has lived a few more days of relaxation, because Feng Zi drove out the only Qing Cui who served them, so there are only two of them in Yunqin Courtyard now, and Feng Zi is also a lot more convenient to do things, no longer have to worry about someone watching her exercise and feel weird, as for Su Xue, she has already seen it, so Feng Zi is not worried that she will ask something again.
The injury on Feng Zi's forehead has almost healed in the past few days, and she has to admire that the medicine of this world does work very quickly, and it only takes a few days to see the new tender skin.
Feng Zi decided that she must bring more of these powders, pills or something with her in the future, in case she needs to take precautions.
Although Feng Qing has not come to her again in the past few days, Feng Zi has worked hard, because she knows that with Feng Qing's character, she will definitely not give up so well, and the calm of these days is just the calm before the storm.
Sure enough, Kaede's expectations came true when she heard that her dispensable father had returned.
That morning, she was exercising herself as always, wielding a small dagger in her hand, the blade of which was cold and cold, and it was a rare weapon at first glance.
This is Feng Zi picked up in the bazaar yesterday, like this kind of dagger, in Feng Zi's previous life, it can be called a magic weapon, but here it is a thing that directly rots the street, so Feng Zi only spent a few copper plates to buy a self-defense.
Feng Zi looked at the jackdaw (the name of the dagger) in her hand, thinking of the Qingxuan whip that Feng Qing made that day, and she was even more enthusiastic about those treasures and mysterious weapons, and she must make a hand when she has the opportunity!
Just when Feng Zi imagined that he would kill the Quartet with an artifact in his hand in the future, and his reputation would shock the continent, Steward Feng, who had never seen anyone at all on weekdays, hurriedly walked over with a group of servants.
Feng Zi hooked her lips when she saw this, it seems that Feng Qing can't help it. Afterwards, he took the jackdaw into his clothes.
"Steward Feng, why did you come to Yunqin Courtyard early in the morning, is there something wrong?" Feng Zi walked up directly and asked knowingly.
"Take it away!"
Compared with Feng Zi's politeness, Feng Qian was not so polite, and directly ordered coldly.
Hmm?So direct?Feng Zi was stunned for a moment, looked at the servants who surrounded her and wanted to hold her arms, and smiled directly, "You don't have to bother, I'll go directly." ”
After speaking, Feng Zi took the lead in walking out of the courtyard gate.
Feng Qian looked at Feng Zi who was simply and directly, and her eyes were puzzled, this fourth lady was different from before. He had also seen the fourth miss who was bullied by Miss Fifth and others before, but unfortunately others were soft-spoken, although they wanted to save her, but they couldn't do it, after all, they were the masters, and he was just a housekeeper.
Feng Qian sighed, and after a while, Feng Zi's shadow disappeared in his eyes, and Fang led a group of people to chase after him.
Just when Feng Zi was hesitating where to go, Feng Qian chased after him and said, "Fourth Miss, the head of the family 'please' you go to the Punishment Hall." ”
Said 'please', in fact, Feng Zi knew that it should be 'charge', in the face of the sudden change in Feng Qian's attitude, Feng Zi smiled, it seems that this housekeeper is very shrewd. But, the Punishment Hall, that little thing between her and Feng Qing, has reached the point where she wants to go?
Although he was puzzled, Feng Zi's footsteps still did not stop, and the group walked directly towards the Feng Family Punishment Hall.
The Punishment Hall, as the name suggests, is a place to punish and discipline the clansmen, and those who generally violate the clan rules need to go to the Punishment Hall for interrogation and punishment. And it is also necessary to invite the head of the family and the head of the side family and others, except for those whose blood relationship is too remote, they will generally all be present.
Speaking of the family and the side, let's talk about the Feng family.
The head of the Feng family's own family is named Feng Zhengyang, who is cultivated to the third order of the prefecture level, and generally stays in the outer courtyard of the Feng family to manage the family's business (Feng Zi and others live in the inner courtyard of the Feng family), and occasionally goes out to check the family's property. This time I went out to check the property and came back.
Feng Zhengyang's wife is the sister of the head of the lonely family, who is also one of the four major families, named Gu Jinrou, who has a son and a daughter for Feng Zhengyang, and is also the son and daughter of the Feng family.
In addition to the main house, Feng Zhengyang also has five aunts, in addition to Fengzi's third aunt and Feng Qing's fourth aunt, there are also the second aunt of the general's daughter Yuan Yuxuan, the prime minister's daughter of the fifth aunt Zhao Yujie and the sixth aunt of the peasant family Tian Sisi, the three daughters each have a son, except for the fifth aunt Zhao Yujie's son who was sent to the current Seven Highnesses to be a companion since he was a child, the other two are still in the Feng family.
After talking about the Feng family, let's talk about the sidelines.
The so-called collateral is Feng Zhengyang's brother, the former head of the family had three sons under his knees, and later the position of the head of the family was passed to Feng Zhengyang, and Feng Zhengyang and the other two brothers have been living in harmony, the relationship is harmonious, and later after becoming the head of the family, they are allowed to live together in Yanjing, if they change to other families, except for the family, the rest of the collateral are to move away from Yanjing to find another place.
Because they are in the same city, the side of the family has close contacts, which is why Feng Qing always follows a bunch of side children, if he is favored by the people of the family, it is like leaving Yanjing to find a position and a half-job by his side.
When Feng Zi and his party arrived at the Punishment Hall, the Punishment Hall was already overcrowded.
Many of the people present are actually meeting for the first time for the current Fengzi.
Feng Zi took a closer look, except for her mother and the three of her 'brothers and sisters' who went out to school, everyone else had arrived, and even the youngest Feng Muling was held in her arms by her mother Tian Sisi. Oh, no, there's one less Feng Qing! Feng Zi looked around carefully again, and found that Feng Qing was indeed not there, could this be Feng Qing's conspiracy?
Feng Zi walked straight to the center of the punishment hall, and directly in front of her sat her father, who rarely saw her, and the woman next to her who was dressed gracefully and gorgeously was Gu Jinrou, in addition, there were two men who were nearly 40 years old sitting on each side, that was Feng Zi's eldest uncle Feng Zhengyan and third uncle Feng Zhengyi.
"Maple ......"
"Master, you have to call the shots for Qing'er!"
Feng Zi was about to say hello to Feng Zhengyang and the others, and just as he bent down and was about to speak, he was interrupted by a slightly sharp woman's cry.
Feng Zi looked up, and saw that the fourth aunt Feng Yueqing was kneeling at Feng Zhengyang's feet and crying, crying so much that it was called a pear blossom with rain, which made Feng Zhengyang's heart ache to death.
Feng Zhengyang helped Feng Yueqing with a distressed face, and wiped her tears with a little tenderness, "Don't worry, I will always help Qing'er get justice." Don't cry. ”
Gu Jinrou watched the woman pretend to be a joke, a sneer flashed on her face, but she quickly regained her composure.
Although Feng Zi didn't know what was going on, she was faintly uneasy in her heart.
"Rebel girl, you still don't kneel down for me!" Feng Zhengyang turned his head to Feng Zi and shouted after comforting Feng Yueqing.
"Why?" Facing Feng Zhengyang's anger, Feng Zi was not afraid, but objected.
"You hired someone to poison your sister Feng Qing, and you were stolen by your fourth aunt on the spot, and you still don't recognize it?" Feng Zhengyang was a little surprised when he saw Feng Zi asking, but he still said with a serious face.
Poisoning Feng Qing? When did she hire someone to do this? Feng Zi's face was calm, which clearly showed that someone was framing her.
"I didn't!" Feng Zi said firmly, "You said that everyone has stolen money, so who did the fourth aunt catch?"
"Hmph, dare to quibble!Feng Qian, go and bring someone in for me, I'll see how she can quibble!" Feng Zhengyang saw that Feng Zi didn't admit it, so he flicked his sleeves and ordered directly.
"Yes, Master. Feng Qian, who was named, bowed his head in response, and then waved his hand, letting the servants behind him escort people in.
After a while, the two servants dragged in a ragged woman, who had obviously been tortured.
"Say, who is the person who instructed you to poison Miss Five?"
Feng Zhengyang saw that someone had already brought him in, so he asked coldly again.
"Yes, it's Miss Four......" The woman lying on the ground said in her almost inaudible voice, thanks to the fact that most of the people present were people who had cultivated Xuanli, otherwise they really wouldn't be able to hear it really, and Feng Zi could only hear it clearly because she was closer.
"Impossible! I don't have it at all!" Hearing what the woman said, Feng Zi directly denied it, stepped forward and grabbed her face, her eyes were blurred with flesh and blood, her face was no longer clear because of a large piece of decay, but with her vague facial features, Feng Zi still recognized that this was the verdant she drove out!
"Green!is that you?" Maple Zi cried out in disbelief, she had only been kicking her out for a few days, why was she like this now?
Feng Zi's voice didn't mean anything else, but in the eyes of others, it was not like this, it was obvious that after the matter was revealed, it was all blamed on the maidservant alone.
"I, I didn't, yes, it was Miss Four who said that Miss Five had been bullying her, so she wanted to kill Miss Five. So let the slaves and maids mix into Cuiliu Courtyard and poison the fifth lady's meal. ”
Qingcui was grabbed by Feng Zi's shoulder, but her eyes inadvertently met Feng Yueqing's gaze, and when she received Feng Yueqing's threatening eyes, she said the matter one by one.
It turned out that after Qingcui was pulled out that day, Feng Yueqing changed her mind and didn't kill her, and transferred her to deliver meals to Miss Five, Qingcui was happy in her heart, thinking that the fourth aunt was going to let her go, but within a few days, she was arrested again, saying that she poisoned Miss Five, and now she has been stolen. He also threatened her with her family, telling her that Feng Zi instructed her to do this, and if she was obedient, she would be the only one to die, otherwise, the whole family would go on the road together. Pity her brother is only five years old, and there is really no way to be verdant, so he can only do it.
Feng Zi didn't understand why Qingcui wanted to frame her at first, but when she saw Qingcui frequently looking at the fourth aunt, she suddenly understood in her heart. It turned out that this was the bitter ploy made by Feng Qing's mother and daughter, and all this was to take revenge on her and blame her! Because they all knew very well that once the marriage was successful, then she would at least suffer a family punishment!
