Xu Ji shook his head.

Feng Juniang was stunned, "Childe refuses to follow me into the city?" The Empress Dowager's people will arrive soon, and they ......"

"The city can't think of a way." Xu Jidao.

"The lord of the county said......"

Xu Ji still shook his head, "Lord Huanyan can't do whatever she wants, in order to control Yecheng, she needs to rely on the strength of many people, such as the king of Xiangdong, such as the father and son of the king of Jibei, and the most important one is the empress dowager." I have come to think about it, the Empress Dowager is already dissatisfied, if she goes to the city again at this time, it will only anger her even more and bring trouble to the county lord of Huanyan. ”

"It's not a matter of causing trouble to anyone, the Empress Dowager wants to kill the son! The Grand Princess, at least, will save your life. ”

Xu Ji smiled: "What if it threatens her status in Yecheng? ”

"The Great Princess...... She...... Should ......"

"I don't want to know the answer, and I don't want to see it. I stay, if the Jizhou army is defeated in Xijing, the situation in Yecheng will be dangerous, although the county lord of Huanyan will be questioned because of this, but he is also more dependent, at that time it is logical to save me, and the empress dowager will have to let her have a few points. ”

Feng Juniang stayed for a while, "What if the officers and soldiers win a big victory?" ”

"The reputation of the county lord of Huanyan will be in full swing, and her plans will be realized one by one, but those who will fight for power for her will also flock to her. There is no way, when Yecheng is still a mess, everyone wants to shake their hands and let others support the building that is about to collapse, even if it is a woman. Once the edifice is re-established, those who once shook off their hands will come back and proclaim their ancestors, declaring that women are not fit to hold power. When the county lord of Huanyan has gains, it is also a day of loss. ”

Feng Juniang was silent, she understood the meaning of Gongzi's words too well, and only said after a long time: "Jizhou is in danger, the big county lord is in power, he can save Gongzi, Jizhou is prosperous, the big county lord must fight for power with others, and there may be no way to convince the Empress Dowager - since Gongzi thinks so clearly, let's think of a way by myself, it's best to escape and stay away from this place of right and wrong." ”

"What about you?"

"Me?" Feng Juniang smiled, "I've been in the land of right and wrong for a long time, and I already like this kind of place." The big county lord needs me, of course, I can't help a lot now, but what Childe said just now is very useful to me, no matter whether it is dangerous or powerful, I know how to help the big county lord. ”

"Lord Huanyan will be very happy to have your help."

"Alas, I hope the officers and soldiers are in Xijing...... I don't know what to hope for. What is the impact of the crisis and prosperity on the Tianjiang Society? In case Childe ...... No, what can I do to get him out? ”

"You don't have to save it."

"Don't have to save? Childe means...... Can Tian Jiang escape by himself? ”

"Possibly."

"It's just a possibility, the barbarian king is careful this time, it is said that there are sixty guards alone, three shifts, there are always people staring at him, and the field craftsman is turned into a fly, and it is difficult to fly out."

"Yecheng Shengwei has nothing to do with this, don't go to the county lord Huanyan for this matter, as soon as she speaks, it will anger He Rongpingshan. Well...... But you can do the craftsman a hand, send someone to make friends with the guards, and bribe a lot of money. ”

"Bribing the guards to steal the fielders?" Feng Juniang's eyes lit up.

"No, no, that would be counterproductive, and you ask them to be kind to the craftsmen, and that's it, nothing else, and if you are suspicious, you say...... She is the wife of a field craftsman. ”

"What did Childe say? I don't have a ...... with the field craftsman It's not that I'm boasting, Mrs. Feng has a small reputation in the city, whether she has a husband or not, and who her husband is, He Rong's guards will know as soon as they inquire - I can say that I am a good friend of Tian Jiang, and they must believe it. ”

Xu Ji smiled: "It's okay, in short, don't make excessive requests, step by step, if you can see the Tian craftsman, it's best, if you don't see it, it doesn't matter." If you meet, listen to the instructions of the craftsman, and you must not do it yourself. ”

"Understood." Feng Juniang breathed a sigh of relief, "Tian Jiang is a good man, he will save himself by himself." She suddenly laughed, "Childe is the same, although ...... Although you don't look like it. ”

Feng Juniang no longer persuaded her, but she still had a few words to say, "The matter has been decided, and within three or five years, the Empress Dowager will issue a decree to marry the little county lord to the barbarian king, and there will be no turning back." I've met the little princess twice, and she's terrifyingly calm. Childe, I admire your intelligence and personality, but sometimes you are also scary. ”

"Me?"

"Look, how much has changed the people who have come into contact with Gongzi, not to mention the people in the past, there are many in this valley of thought: Kou Daogu was forced to be born, and he was willing to be an insignificant staff member in Xiangdong Mansion, I understand his intention, that is, to wait for one day to soar and take revenge on Gongzi; Chang Yan was originally a general who charged into battle, but now he is an idler who has no quarrel with the world; The little county lord, alas, the little county lord has changed the most, and it is also the change I don't want to see the most, Childe, you saved the little county lord, and the price is to strangle her first. ”

"You're exaggerating." Xu Ji smiled, but he didn't feel ridiculous in his heart.

"It's an exaggeration, but the meaning is clear." Feng Juniang opened her umbrella, walked into the rain, and soon disappeared.

The rain did not stop at all, the rain filled the ditch dug by Xu Ji and the others, spread towards the courtyard, approached the house, until it was only an inch or two short of crossing the threshold, and suddenly the rain stopped and the sky was clear.

Several rooms were leaking rain, and the old servant called on everyone to repair them quickly while the loopholes were not too obvious.

Except for a few officers and soldiers guarding the entrance, no one knew that Feng Juniang had ever come.

Repairing the roof is not a matter of one or two days, the next afternoon, everyone is busy, another group of people from Yecheng came, and they did not report, directly surrounded the study and Xu Ji's residence, no one was allowed to approach, and then the officials who took the lead entered the house for questioning.

Seeing Fei Xun, Xu Ji understood that the county lord of Huanyan still secretly helped him.

Fei Yu looked around, saw that the mat had not changed, nodded slightly, and saw that the desk was full of books and papers, and shook his head slightly.

"Rare guest." Xu Ji got up and arched his hand.

"Troublesome master." Fei Xun also bowed his hand, sat down by himself without waiting for the invitation, and glanced out the window, "Everything in the valley is good, but the humidity is too heavy, and it is especially unbearable after the rain." ”

"Exactly, and it's easy to get mosquitoes after the rain, and I'm going to be bitten all over my body tonight."

"If you leave here, you won't be bitten."

"Where are there no mosquitoes? More or less. ”

"When it's time to go, I'm afraid I can't help you. I'm not here to chat, I'm here to investigate the case. ”

"Congratulations to Master Fei for his promotion."

"Not necessarily. It stands to reason that there will be a scribe on the side to record it, but I don't think this case should be written in a book, so it is just a conversation between you and me, and I will truthfully report what I said to the Empress Dowager. ”

"Only Lord Fei can be so trusted by the Empress Dowager."

Fei Xin sighed, and had something to say, but when he thought that this conversation would all have to be reported, he couldn't help it, "The existing Fan Sect disciple's surname is Yu Mingzhan, claiming that when the prince of Jibei came to Sigu to try polo a few days ago-" Fei Xin couldn't help but snort heavily, very dissatisfied with this kind of thing, "I overheard that Xu Gongzi was talking secretly with someone in this room, and he was going to murder the father and daughter of the king of Xiangdong." Yu Zhan didn't recognize the other person, and he didn't see his face clearly, but guessed that he was a staff member in the Jibei Palace. Judging by the situation of the day, it should not be bad. ”

"The Empress Dowager believes this person's words?"

"The Empress Dowager is not fully convinced, so she sent me over to inquire. Xu Gongzi only needs to answer the question, the day the prince came, you talked with people in the study? ”

"Yes."

"Who is this man?"

"An old man."

"The deceased must have a name and a surname."

"The surname is Qiao, the name is signed, and the signature is signed, he is a son of the seven clans in Jiangdong, and now he is a general in the Qinzhou Army." Xu Ji had already thought of a response and made up a character.

"If you are a traitor, how can you become a staff member of the King of Jibei?"

"Yu Zhan guessed wrong, Qiao Qian is not anyone's staff, he sneaked into the valley the night before, and the next day everyone went to watch polo, he chatted with me, and happened to be heard by Yu Zhan."

"Dive into the valley? The officers and soldiers had been guarding the front and back of the mountain, and because the prince was coming, the guards were especially strong the night before, and there were no reports of anyone sneaking into the valley. ”

"It's a sneak in, of course you won't be seen. This person did not take the big or small roads, and went over the mountains. ”

"Let's not talk about how to sneak in, he's a traitor, what's the matter here?"

"Bring a letter from the Golden Holy Maiden and ask me to go to Qinzhou, but I refused, and he left."

"No, according to what Yu Zhan said, you were talking about the King of Xiangdong and the Lord of Fangde at that time, and it seems that in order to prevent the Lord of Fangde from marrying someone else, you intended to be unfavorable to the father and daughter of the King of Xiangdong."

Xu Ji didn't know what Yu Zhan overheard, and he was more confident in his heart, and said with a smile: "The two of us are chatting, Wang Qian is a smart person, and he found that the lord of Fangde County is avoiding marriage here, so he wants to take the opportunity to make a divisive plan, and I saw through it." If Yu Zhan was truthful, it should be said that I clearly refused at that time. ”

He said that although Xu Gongzi refused, he was quite hesitant, and it seemed that he would answer after thinking about it.

"My answer after thinking about it is also no."

"And you let the king sign it away?"

"After all, Wang Qian is an old man, and I can't bear to hand him over to the government, it's my sin."

Fei Xun asked again, to be meticulous, the cause and effect, and the content of the conversation must be clear, Xu Ji must answer all questions, although it is a lie, there are almost no flaws.

Fei Xun felt that it was almost over, got up and said: "At this point, I will report everything truthfully, whether Xu Gongzi is guilty or not, whether the crime is big or small, it will be decided by the Queen Mother." ”

"There are no more torturers in Yecheng?"

"Hey, you're glad it's not the torturers in charge."

"That's right. Master Fei walks slowly, and he will not be sent far. ”

Fei Yu didn't say goodbye immediately, "I won't report the next words, just a private conversation between acquaintances." ”

"Hopefully it won't be overheard." Xu Ji said with a smile.

Fei Xin didn't smile, "What you said just now is not leaky, but it is useless, since the matter has reached the Empress Dowager, you will not say a word, and you will be guilty." Run, you can't escape. Yin Shilang said that you are not a person who escapes the world, I believe in his judgment, so I remind you a few words: Since you are unwilling to escape the world, why live in the valley of Siguo and cause trouble? You don't claim to be the king, you must be to assist the Ming Lord, and now that the Ming Lord is nearby, what are you hesitating about? ”

Without waiting for Xu Ji to answer, Fei Yu turned around and left.
