Chapter 52: Staying in the Governor's Mansion
Sure enough, as Fengyu said, after Xiao Yan revealed his identity, the officials of the state government quickly got the news, and after a general understanding of the ins and outs of the matter, the governor hurried to the two of them to plead guilty.
At this time, Feng Yu had already freshened up and dressed up, recovered her daughter's body, and heard that the governor was talking to Xiao Yan when she came, so she immediately rushed to the hall.
Xiao Yan took a sip of tea with a calm face, looked at the governor who was still chattering, and said in a cold voice: "Master Sun, it's useless for you to tell me more now." You'll have to meet someone later, and as for what to do, it's up to her to decide. ”
"The general asked the subordinate to see him...... Who to meet? ”
When Sun Jianye, the governor of Jiangnan, heard Xiao Yan's words, he was shocked, could it be that there are other big people here?
Only Xiao Yan temporarily revealed her identity, so when Fengyu appeared in the hall, Sun Jianye thought she was Xiao Yan's woman.
Looking at Sun Jianye, who was still stunned, Xiao Yan frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Don't you come and see the princess soon." ”
"Princess?!"
Sun Jianye looked at Fengyu in surprise, and the next moment he quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Xiaguan knocks to see the princess, I wish the princess good health and good luck." ”
Feng Yu walked past him, then sat on a chair and looked at him, and said in an indifferent tone: "You are the governor of Jiangnan?" ”
"Princess Hui, the official name is Sun Jianye, and she is the governor of Jiangnan."
"Lord Sun, you are really good as an official. Look at the people of Jiangnan, their lives are so good, but they have half the credit of your governor. Feng Yu sneered and teased, looking at Sun Jianye's eyes but very cold.
As long as everyone can hear that Fengyu's words are backwords, Sun Jianye hurriedly leaned over to the ground, "Let the princess be frightened, the lower official should be damned!" ”
"Please rest assured, Zhao Xu, that dog official, the lower official will definitely punish him severely."
Feng Yu looked at him expressionlessly, listened to him Luo Li talk a lot, and finally heard that when she wanted her and Xiao Yan to go to live in the house, Feng Yu agreed.
If you want to find evidence of Sun Jianye's corruption, you have to approach him first, and Feng Yu feels that the evidence must be hidden in the governor's mansion.
Just when Feng Yu agreed to go to live in the Governor's Mansion, Xiao Yan also took this opportunity to say that he would send his men to pick up a friend, and then secretly contacted the spies and asked him to pretend to be Feng Yi and follow them into the Governor's Mansion.
Ever since Xiao Yan's identity was revealed, the Assassins had been keeping an eye on his whereabouts, and after seeing Feng Yi living with them in the Governor's Mansion, they realized that things had become tricky, and they could only contact others first, and then plan to re-plan the assassination.
After living in the governor's mansion, Sun Jianye poured a wave of bitter water on Fengyu again, saying that he had been doing his best for the prosperity of Jiangnan, how difficult it was, and Fengyu wanted to tear his face with him on the spot.
Fortunately, Xiao Yan knocked on the side next to her, and Feng Yu calmed down and asked Sun Jianye to do what he had to do, and not to dangle in front of her all day.
Sun Jianye was also obedient, and he really didn't appear in front of Feng Yu, but privately asked the subordinates in the mansion to keep an eye on Feng Yu, Xiao Yan, and Feng Yi.
Feng Yu and Xiao Yan were wandering around the mansion, and after walking around, Feng Yu said to Xiao Yan: "This mansion is really well built, even more magnificent than your general's mansion." ”
"Is the princess disgusted that my general's mansion is too simple?" Xiao Yan asked with a smile.
Turning her head to look at him, Feng Yu was a little speechless and said, "Can't you hear the other meaning of my words?" ”
Xiao Yan pretended not to understand and shook his head, and said, "I can't hear it." Does the princess mean anything else? ”
"He's just a governor, although his official position is not small, but just by virtue of his words, it is estimated that it will take ten or eight years to build such a large mansion."
"Think about it, you are a great general with great achievements in the Northern Capital, in addition to the annual salary, there is also a reward from your father. But that's what your general's mansion is all about......"
Speaking of this, Feng Yu looked at Xiao Yan and waved her hand, "I didn't mean to belittle your General's Mansion." ”
Seeing Xiao Yan looking at her and smiling, Feng Yu turned her head a little embarrassed and continued: "In short, what I mean is, if it weren't for corruption and bribery, how could he be so rich as a governor?" ”
"The princess has a point." Xiao Yan nodded approvingly.
Feng Yu stopped and leaned on the pillar next to him to look at him, and said, "He must have embezzled a lot of money with such a big spend, we must find evidence of him and punish him." ”
Just as the two were chatting energetically, several people suddenly walked in front of them, one of whom was dressed up beautifully, and it looked like he should be a person of status.
"Shan'er, the folk girl, has seen the princess and the general."
Feng Yu straightened up and looked at the woman who saluted her, and said, "No courtesy." ”
"Princess Xie."
After carefully looking at the woman in front of her, Fengyu asked, "Who are you?" ”
"The people's daughter's name is Sun Shan, and she is the sister of the governor Sun Jianye."
When Sun Shan spoke, her eyes looked at Xiao Yan next to her from time to time, and there was a trace of tenderness in her eyes.
Feng Yu naturally saw that Sun Shan was interested in Xiao Yan, and she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, and her tone of voice also increased a little, "Miss Sun is very beautiful and moving. ”
"Thank you, princess, for the compliment."
Sun Shan lowered her head and smiled lightly, then looked at Xiao Yan and said, "This is the famous General Xiao, right?" ”
Except for Fengyu, Xiao Yan didn't pay attention to the other women, so in the face of Sun Shan, he just nodded to her in response.
"I heard that General Xiao is brave and good at fighting, and when I saw it today, he was really sassy and heroic." Sun Shan continued to praise again, but this time Xiao Yan answered her words.
"Thank you Miss Sun for the compliment, the princess is tired, I will send the princess back to the room to rest first."
After speaking, Xiao Yan looked at Feng Yu, and Feng Yu also turned around and left very cooperatively.
Looking at Xiao Yan's back, Sun Shan showed a nymphomaniac look, she was originally curious about the general of the Northern Capital. Now that I see Xiao Yan with my own eyes, I see that he is not only handsome and handsome, but also very manly, and I like him very much.
So, Sun Shan immediately found Sun Jianye and asked him about Xiao Yan, and said that he liked Xiao Yan and wanted to marry him.
Hearing his sister's thoughts, Sun Jianye hurriedly admonished her, saying that Xiao Yan, as a general in the Northern Capital, would be the daughter of a high-ranking official and nobleman.
But Sun Shan was not convinced, she felt that she was also the sister of the governor of Jiangnan, she was beautiful, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, not much worse than those ladies of the nobility, and even more suitable for Xiao Yan than them.
So after returning to the governor's mansion, Sun Shan immediately dressed up and wanted to have dinner with Fengyu and Xiao Yan.
In order to avoid the exposure of the spies pretending to be Fengyi, Feng Yu and Xiao Yan ordered them to go down early, saying that they were going to eat in the house.
Sun Shan came to the dining room wearing a gorgeous dress, and when she saw her brother, she said with a puzzled face: "What about the general?" ”
Seeing Sun Shan's dress, Sun Jianping frowned dissatisfiedly, "Good and decent, what are you dressing like this?" ”
Without seeing Xiao Yan, Sun Shan's mood instantly became bad, and she sat on the stool and said with an unhappy face: "What's wrong?" Can't I wear it like that? ”
How could Sun Jianye not know what his sister was thinking, frowned and waved away the servant, and looked at her with a serious expression.
"Shan'er, I told you today, that Xiao Yan seems harmless on the surface, but in fact, the city is extremely deep, and it is not something you can deal with."
"Why should I deal with him?" Sun Shan asked puzzled, "I just want him to fall in love with me so that I can marry him." ”
"Don't be delusional." Sun Jianye ruthlessly broke Sun Shan's illusion and said: "Xiao Yan has a very high heart, and he can't look down on ordinary people. ”
"What's more, he goes out to fight all year round, isn't marrying him a widow?"
"Then I'd love to." Sun Shan raised her chin and said.
"Shut up!"
Sun Jianye slapped the table vigorously, and when he saw Sun Shan turning around and glaring at him, he was even more angry in his heart, and he inevitably scolded Sun Shan again.
The three people who were eating in the house didn't know anything about the quarrel between the Sun brothers and sisters, and discussed the next plan while eating.
Feng Yu has preferred to eat fish since she was a child, but the fish on the table today did not move a few bites, and Xiao Yan asked the reason when she saw it.
"This fish tastes good, but there are too many fish bones, I'm afraid I'll get stuck." Feng Yu said with a depressed face, and then went to pick up other dishes.
After knowing the reason, Xiao Yan moved the fish in front of him, Feng Yu didn't pay attention to his actions, and only said to himself: "There are too many rooms in this governor's mansion, let's split up, otherwise when Sun Jianye is prepared, it will be even more difficult for us to find evidence." ”
"The princess is right." The spy nodded, looked at Xiao Yan and said, "General, my subordinates will sneak out tonight to investigate." ”
"Well, be careful yourself." Xiao Yan said without raising his head, focusing on removing the fish bones.
Feng Yu thought for a moment and hesitated: "Forget it, he is now pretending to be an imperial brother, and it is very likely that he will be targeted by assassins." ”
"Don't worry so much."
Xiao Yan put the plate containing the fish meat in front of Feng Yu with a normal face, and then continued: "In the final analysis, we have always been in the light and the enemy in the dark, so what we do now may be under surveillance. ”
Looking at the fish meat in front of her, Feng Yu was stunned for a moment, it turned out that Xiao Yan had been removing the fish bones for her just now?
A little moved in her heart, Feng Yu glanced at Xiao Yan and said in a low voice, "Thank you." Then he picked up his chopsticks and ate the fish from the plate.
Seeing that Fengyu was eating happily, Xiao Yan smiled dotingly, and then sandwiched another piece of fish meat and continued to remove the fish bones.
The spy next to him watched the actions of the two, with a look of surprise on his face, when they met a few times before, he had always felt that the relationship between the general and the princess was not ordinary, and at that time he thought that he was thinking too much.
Now it seems that not only did he not think much about it, but things were far more complicated than he imagined.
