Chapter 13: Idle Matters
The emperor looked at the secret report in his hand without saying a word, but his face gradually softened. For every son, he is indispensable in his heart, so even if Feng Wuxian once swore a poisonous oath, he is still a little uneasy. Wuji's outstanding performance in Fujian not only made him feel relieved to be a father, but also had a deep worry in his subconscious. However, the secret report in front of him at least temporarily relieved him, and without a trace still knew the general situation, and he had always seemed to have no effort in his cultivation in vain.
However, the incident of Yao Mutong mentioned in the secret report surprised him deeply, although he knew that this person was stabbed to death, whether it was an official recital or other rumors, they all concealed the battle. And this matter came out of the mouth without a trace, the credibility is at least seven or eight points, and he will never open his mouth in front of his subordinates, so it seems that the many twists and turns of impeaching Yao Mutong before are probably also true. The emperor's gaze instantly became extremely cold, Feng Wuyan actually recommended this kind of person for his own selfishness, and the officials also evaluated him very well, which is really intolerable.
Standing in the empty palace of diligence, the emperor felt a deep loneliness and loneliness, as the king of all times, he had to watch out for the courtiers and look at the rebels, he was really a little powerless. For example, although he is still peaceful today, as long as a small spark is concerned, it may stir up a fire, which is why he doesn't want to use force against Feng Wuzhao. Feng Jue had suggested to him to incite the Northwest soldiers, but how could this kind of royal scandal be faked by outsiders? At the beginning, he did not hesitate to let the assassins do anything to the wind in order to extinguish the whirlpool stirred up by the officials, and this time was no exception, however, in the military camp, it was not easy to imitate the assassination last time, and it was impossible to say that it could only be cheaper than others.
Fan Hengwen returned home in despair, and Feng Wuxi's words made him see the cruelty of the capital. He was just assigned to an errand for editing in the Hanlin Academy, and he may never be able to get into the fourth grade after hard work, Uncle He Mingba became a family member of Tang Zengyuan, and he was expected to be promoted in a blink of an eye, how could he remember his cousin's affection? The depth of officialdom made him, a young man who had not been deeply involved in the world, afraid, however, there seemed to be some appreciation in the smiling "reckless scholar" without a trace, and the noble prince even asked him to tell his seriously ill cousin that he would choose another family career for her in the future, and Fan Hengwen was so moved that he thanked him.
Stepping into the main hall of his humble house, Fan Hengwen saw Li Junda waiting there with an uneasy expression, and couldn't help but be overjoyed when he came in. "Hengwen, where have you been? Do you know, I'm worried that you will run to make trouble, I heard that many people came to Shuntianfu today to protect this marriage, if you break into some big trouble, the future will be gone! Fortunately, God forbid, Amitabha! Li Junda, who has never believed in gods and Buddhas, actually recited the Buddha, which shows how anxious he is in his heart.
Fan Hengwen's heart was relieved, he still has such enthusiastic friends, what else can he complain about? His Royal Highness the Seventh is right, a person with a bad heart like He Shuming, even if he becomes a relative to his cousin, will affect his family and betray his friends in the future, so it is better to clear it out as soon as possible. "Brother Junda, it's all the fault of your foolish brother that you've been worrying about it for so long. Don't worry, from now on, He Shuming has nothing to do with me, I just don't know this person. Brother Junda doesn't have to run around for this matter anymore. ”
Li Junda was stunned for a moment, and then had a relieved expression, if it weren't for the righteousness of his friends, he wouldn't and wouldn't dare to ask those high-ranking officials for justice, now that Fan Hengwen is dead, what else do he have to say. The two of them discussed their future plans in the hall for a while, and then they went to rest, and the two of them were running around in the past few days, and they were really tired to the extreme.
Although Feng Wuxian comforted Fan Hengwen with kind words, he had other plans in his heart. After returning to Beijing, in order to avoid trouble, he only sent Xiao Fangzi to contact the two people, and it seemed necessary to meet the two of them in person. Seeing that the master had been sitting in the clean room of this teahouse for an hour, he felt strange in his heart, but he didn't dare to disturb him, however, there was a sudden earth-shattering noise outside, breaking the unspeakable silence.
"Who's making noise outside?" Feng Wuxian said in annoyance, and when he looked around, he realized that he was not in the palace, he must have been thinking too much about it just now, and it was common for the teahouse to be noisy, but Qiu Qingyuan, who came in in a hurry, surprised him.
"Your Highness, there is a disturbance outside!" Qiu Qingyuan's face was not angry, "Lord Xu is reasoning with those people, and they are unreasonably preparing to smash things around!" ”
Feng Wuxian suddenly remembered the shopkeeper's cunning face at first, and then he realized that he was probably being used as a shield by the treacherous old man. However, since he accepted his affection, it would be too much to ignore it, so it would be better to see who it was, and if it was really a big deal, he would just forget it, and he wouldn't be in big trouble.
Xu Chunshu looked coldly at the arrogant middle-aged man, I don't know which wealthy family is the slave, relying on the master's power to make trouble here, I really don't know how thick the sky is. If it were an ordinary person, he might be bullied, but how could he be so easy to get along with? "In broad daylight, if you are so nonsense, aren't you afraid that I will send you to Shuntianfu?"
Although the middle-aged official family has a mediocre appearance, his gloomy eyes show this person's usual temperament. Today I came here for this teahouse, and the shopkeeper here is just an ordinary old man, so I can't find any helpers. But the person in front of him is not easy to match at first glance, just now a few accomplices were beaten by him and made him lose his temper, is it really a person on the official face? He dispelled this idea after a while, his own master was in the position of Shangshu, and today was for his little uncle's business, and it was not a problem to wait for idle petty officials. His confidence suddenly rose again.
"What nonsense? This boss owes my lord a thousand taels of silver, and he said that he would use this teahouse to pay off his debts, how can he deny it? This benevolent brother, don't rely on some ability to stop here, even if you get to Shuntian Mansion, we are justified! ”
The shopkeeper hiding behind Xu Chunshu boldly shouted: "Master, don't listen to their nonsense, these people are all plotting to seize Xiao Lao'er's shop, you want to ask Gongzi to be the master of Xiao Lao'er!" ”
Xu Chunshu secretly scolded the shopkeeper for his troubles, it seems that he designed it from the beginning to take his own gang of people into the tank. However, he couldn't get used to these tyrannical people, and was about to open his mouth to refute, but he caught a glimpse of Feng Wuxian walking out of the room surrounded by several guards. He hurriedly bowed and saluted, and whispered the matter through 1510.
The middle-aged housekeeper He Liang looked at Feng Wuxian in disbelief, and his face changed from arrogance to peace, and there was even a little flattery. Although he hadn't seen the young man in front of him, just looking at the men who looked like guards, he knew that this person was not something he could afford to provoke. It's better not to have a conflict as much as possible, he secretly planned that even if the master is in a high position, he will not turn his face against other dignitaries for the sake of being a minion, and it is important to find out his origin first.
Unexpectedly, it was Feng Wuxian who opened his mouth first: "You are the housekeeper of the Mansion of Lord He of the Criminal Department?" ”
He Liang listened to this condescending tone, and instinctively felt a bad feeling, "Back to this son's words, the master of the slave is Master He, and the master of my family is acquainted?" ”
"Familiarity is not necessarily."
He Liang breathed a sigh of relief when he said this, however, the sentence that followed made him stunned.
"It's just that my uncle and Lord He are close friends, and he has always praised me for the many benefits of Lord He, but it is a pity that I have not been able to take the time to visit." Wind Without a Trace understatement.
Such a big tone almost made He Liang choke, however, his understanding of his own master is not deep, and the idle officials can't get into his eyes at all, and the only one who has a deep relationship with him is the emperor's quasi-national uncle, Xiao Yunchao, the secretary of the ministry. His heart tightened suddenly, could it be that the young man in front of him was the rumored person? He knelt down and kowtowed almost without thinking: "Slave He Liang greets His Highness the Seventh, please forgive the slave for the offense just now!" He bowed his body deeply, and secretly scolded the uncle in his heart for being troublesome, and he was unlucky enough to bump into a prince, and it was too late to say anything.
The few helpers behind He Liang were all stupid, Your Highness the Seventh? In this kind of teahouse used by the common people for entertainment, a prince can be visited, and one by one they fall to the ground, and a small drum is beaten in their hearts, lest they will be harmed. Although the shopkeeper hiding behind Xu Chunshu was mentally prepared, he was stunned at the moment, and only took a few steps back after a while, and fell to his knees with a thud. As soon as he remembered the idea that he had fought a nobleman, he felt frightened, and he had not heard of the rumors in the streets and alleys, this Seventh Highness was not an easy master to bluff. The two young men lay down as early as when He Liang knelt down, and the two of them were just ordinary people, and they were young, so they reacted the fastest.
After all, He Weitao is a powerful dignitary, and Feng Wuxian is too lazy to bother with a slave of his family, "Since you can recognize this king, then tell me, who has taken a fancy to this teahouse?" Don't use your master to fool this king, he is a hard-working man, and he will not have such idle time. ”
"It's my master's brother-in-law, Wei Wenlong, and Wei Ye." He Liang whispered, "Wei Ye has taken a fancy to the market here, and is preparing to build a restaurant, with the signboard of Yiyun Pavilion, he will definitely be able to make a name for himself in the capital." ”
"Oh?" Feng Wuxian was eyes lit up, he had heard Wei Wenlong's name, unlike the little uncle in the mansion of ordinary dignitaries, he was a person with some real skills, "The intention is good, can't he discuss it with the boss?" This place is the boss's hard work, you are undoubtedly a bandit just now, if you are included in the imperial history, is it Lord He or Uncle Wei is guilty? ”
If you hadn't suddenly appeared, how could those imperial histories care about such idle things? He conscience said secretly, but how dare he talk about it, and hurriedly answered yes. I only heard another voice from the top of my head, "This king has also heard of Wei Wenlong's reputation, you go back and talk to him, you have to come here once when you are free, this king is waiting in the palace, it depends on whether he appreciates this face." ”
This kind of tone that is neither yin nor yang makes He Liang break out in a cold sweat, but fortunately, he can't see his face without a trace, so he doesn't lose his ugliness. "As soon as the slave returns, he will report to Uncle Wei, and he must be asked to visit the palace as soon as possible."
