Chapter 527: The End of the Road, Feng Shuanglin (I)
In a side hall not a short distance from the warm pavilion where Wanli is now located, twenty or thirty eunuchs with a lot of duties in the palace are gathering together tremblingly, and in front of them, there is the great companion of the current emperor, the eunuch of the celebrant and the eunuch of the pen, and the governor of the East Factory Feng Bao Feng Gonggong.

At this moment, Feng Bao looked at the subordinates in front of him who were from the same background, but now they couldn't compare with him at all, and many of them began to break out in a cold sweat, and his gaze was retracted, and his heart was a little better.
Although everyone kept saying bad things about Feng Bao behind their backs, and they were all planning how to embarrass him, but when it came to Feng Gonggong's face, these people didn't even have the courage to look at Feng Bao, let alone really say the words behind their backs.
Finally, after a long and oppressive silence, Feng Bao spoke: "I know that you have been very dissatisfied with me recently, because it is rumored that I prevented Your Majesty from asking for silver from the treasury of the foreign court, and this silver was originally intended to be distributed to you for the New Year. Indeed, I have sinned in doing so to hinder your financial path, and you should be dissatisfied with me. After all, aren't the six impure people like us who are slaves and maidservants just to survive and get more money so that their families in their hometown can live a good life? ”
The more he said this calmly, the more uneasy the hearts of the people below became, and some even began to tremble. They knew very well that with Feng Bao's current power, it was only a matter of one sentence to deal with a few little people in the palace like them, even if it was not difficult to destroy them. So some people quickly mustered up the courage to argue: "I ...... Of course, the little ones don't dare to have any resentment, in fact, we also know that Gonggong Feng is doing this for the sake of my Ming court, the little ones ......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Feng Bao stretching out his hand: "I said, you don't need to panic, although my status is higher than yours, I also understand your difficulties, and I won't blame you for this." ”
It's a pity that not many people dare to believe what he said, most people think that Father-in-law Feng is saying the opposite, and they are even more frightened to the point that their faces are pale, their lips are blue, and some people are even more frightened and knelt on the ground: "Father-in-law spares his life!" The little one no longer dares to say that his father-in-law is not behind his back, and the little one no longer dares to complain. As he spoke, he kowtowed.
The first one reacted like this, and soon led a group of people to kneel down and beg for mercy. Looking at their frightened looks, and thinking about the hateful faces they had when they spread rumors before, Feng Bao only felt angry and bumped into it. He really hated that he couldn't ask someone to teach these villains a hard lesson with a court rod in front of them and behind their backs. It's a pity that the current situation makes him have to pretend to be generous and not pursue all this.
After gritting his teeth slightly and calming the anger in his heart, Feng Bao said in a soft voice: "You don't have to be like this, get up quickly." As I said, I won't blame you. And I did not call you today to settle accounts with you, but to make amends to you. Someone ...... coming."
Although they heard these words in their ears, the attendants who had been frightened by Feng Bao still decided that Feng Bao was going to attack him today, and when they saw him beckoning his subordinates, they were even more frightened, and they fell on the ground one by one and trembled, but they didn't have the courage to resist.
However, the person who came in did not intend to arrest them, but made a noise on the ground, and put down some rather heavy objects. A few brave people noticed that something was really wrong, so they quickly peeked to the side, and saw several large wooden boxes side by side, and the dozens of big men also opened the lid of the box under Feng Bao's signal.
As soon as the lid of the box opened, the eyes of these frightened chamberlains straightened a little, and they were dazzled by the shining silver ingots in the box, and they were even more puzzled in their hearts, not knowing what Feng Bao was going to do.
Feng Bao didn't have the heart to play dumb riddles with these people anymore, so he pointed to the big boxes of silver ingots and said, "Here is 50,000 taels of silver, which I took out from home privately." Now I will give you all this money, and those under your hands, as if I have made it to you. ”
"Ah......h Some people even pinched a few handfuls of their waist and legs with their hands to see if they were dreaming. This thing is really too strange, too unexpected, in the past, only these people below them had to honor Feng Bao for how much silver, how could there ever be a matter of Feng Bao with a respected status giving them silver?
"What I want to tell you is that I really didn't think about it before, so I will compensate you with my own money. I also want you to know that although my current status is indeed higher than yours, my heart is still towards you. After making another statement, Feng Bao waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's all get up." I have sent the amount to be set according to your office and the number of men under you, so that you can come forward and receive the money. ”
"Thank you Gonggong Feng...... "Only then did everyone believe that Feng Bao really did not mean to punish them, but instead wanted to give them silver. Suddenly, they were all very excited, and while kowtowing again and again, they also showed greedy eyes.
At the same time, many people's gratitude to Feng Bao has also reached its peak, and their respect for him is heavier than ever. There is no way, people are all pragmatic, although they also knew that the emperor would distribute silver, but after all, it was just a rumor, how could it be compared to the silver that is about to be obtained in their hands now that they are actually in their eyes?
And Feng Bao also felt this, which made him take out such a large sum of silver to buy it in pain, but also a little better, and finally gained something. 、
But just as everyone got up and wanted to line up to receive the silver, the closed door of the temple was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and a voice came in: "Gonggong Feng is here, you really tell me to find ......"
"Hmm......" Feng Bao's brows furrowed suddenly, and there was a hint of anger in his expression. In order to do this well, he had already ordered people to guard the outside of this side hall, and no one was allowed to approach, let alone ask people to push the door in directly.
It's just that when he saw that it was Sun Hai who came in, he couldn't blame those people outside anymore. On the contrary, I was stunned in my heart, and an extremely bad feeling quickly hit my heart.
"Yo, are there so many people here?" After Sun Hai came in, he was not in a hurry to talk to Feng Bao, but turned his gaze, swept over the eunuchs who were obviously stunned, and then fell on the large boxes full of silver, and after being stunned for a moment, a strange light flashed in his eyes: "It seems that I didn't seem to have come at the right time." ”
"Grandpa Sun, what did you say, in fact, if you don't come, there is also your share of silver here, and I am about to send it to you afterwards. It just so happens that you're here, so you'll get one first? Feng Bao saw that the matter had been exposed, so he could only plan to use silver to gag the other party's mouth.
"Yes, yes, Grandpa Sun, your former position in His Majesty is much higher than ours, of course you have to get this silver first...... "The eunuchs who were still a little scrambling also came back to their senses, and hurriedly flashed out of the way, wanting Sun Hai to go in and get the silver.
It's a pity that although Sun Hai's eyes flashed after seeing the silver, he didn't have a greedy color, and still stood at the door and hugged his fist at everyone and said, "Your kindness, I, Sun Hai, have received it." But we don't have the courage to ask for this silver, and I would like to advise you, this silver is really hot to hold, so don't take it if you can. ”
"Sun Hai, what do you mean by that? My godfather kindly gave you silver, if you don't appreciate it, forget it, you are still talking nonsense here, who is the power of the battle! Feng Bao's eunuch godson on the side was immediately annoyed and shouted loudly.
It's just that his threatening words couldn't scare Sun Hai at all. I saw him smile: "Whose power am I fighting, I think Gonggong Feng should know better than you." Gonggong Feng, Your Majesty has something important to ask you to come over, so don't delay you here. ”
"Huh?" When Feng Bao heard that it was indeed the emperor who asked Sun Hai to summon him, his heart suddenly shuddered, and his complexion changed again.
And when they heard this, the eunuchs who were still a little ignorant of Sun Hai also stopped. Things seemed to be a little abnormal, and when it was related to Feng Bao's very different style of acting today, some quick-minded people began to mumble, and instead of just taking the silver like just now, they took a few steps back.
"What is your majesty calling me? I wonder if Grandpa Sun can tell one or two first? Feng Bao's heart became more and more uneasy, so he had to ask tentatively first.
"Please also ask Gonggong Feng for forgiveness, I am just a slave who is ordered to run errands, how dare I ask too much. Gonggong Feng, please come with me, don't make Your Majesty wait too long. Sun Hai didn't buy this account at all, just urged.
Things have come to this point, and Feng Bao has no room to turn around. I can only cheer myself up: "There's nothing to worry about, after all, Your Majesty has a relationship with me for more than ten years, and he will definitely not really ...... me" and gave a few cronies beside him a look, and let them think of going to the harem to find the Queen Mother to prepare a way back for themselves, and then walked over. As for whether those subordinates can understand his signals, it depends on his Feng Shuanglin's creation.
Seeing that Feng Bao had no intention of prevaricating and delaying, Sun Hai also relaxed a little, with his current status, he really didn't dare to take Feng Bao by force, even if he was really on an errand.
"Gonggong Feng, please!" When Feng Bao came to him, Sun Hai also made a gesture of invitation very politely, but this was a hidden murderous motive in Feng Bao's eyes.
