Chapter 17: Family Matters Can Be Decided (Part II)
[After shopping for a night, I came back to code words, and now I have rushed out of a new chapter. Continue to ask for red tickets and collect. 】
The old name of Fengxiang Mansion is Qizhou, and both names come from the allusion of Fengming Qishan, from King Wen of Zhou to hear the phoenix Qingming in Qishan, it has been 3,000 years at this time. Fengxiang Mansion has undergone changes, but it has always been an important town in Kansai, in the Anshi Rebellion, Fengxiang was also designated as the Tang Xijing, and Tang Suzong was also stationed here.
And Fengxiang Mansion is also worthy of being the place where the phoenix comes to fly, and tall plane trees can be seen everywhere in the city. The phoenix is not a sycamore, it is not a liquan and it is not drunk, and it is the highest and cleanest. Fengxiang people took this meaning, so they planted sycamores all over the city. It's the height of summer, and the lush plane trees, like umbrellas, shield pedestrians from the blazing sun, giving shade to the city.
However, Han Gang did not come to Fengxiang Mansion to travel to find the ancients, he heard that Li Xin had also had an accident at Zhang Shouyue's place the day before yesterday, so he took leave from Wang Shao and rushed to Fengxiang Mansion overnight to govern Tianxing County.
A few days ago, when he heard about his uncle's beating, Han Gang didn't take it to heart and completely handed it over to Li Xin to deal with. thought that with Li Xin's ability, he could handle this matter properly. Who would have thought that after he would make a big deal out of Fengxiang Mansion, he would make a big deal - although this is nothing, Han Gang has always liked to make things bigger, but the premise of doing so is that he must ensure his absolute safety, not send his own family to prison.
For his cousin, Han Gang values it very much, with Li Xin's talent, if the opportunity comes, he will definitely be able to shine in the army in the future and become his right-hand man. Han Gang could not sit idly by and watch him suffer in prison.
From the mouth of the military man who followed Li Xin to Fengxiang, Han Gang understood the general situation of the matter. His fourth aunt died of illness early last year, and his fourth uncle had been paralyzed in bed for many years due to wind illness and passed away last month. It's just that Zhilu said these two points, and Han Gang didn't need to hear about the following plot, he could deduce it by himself.
And that military man also proved Han Gang's inference, since Han Gang's Feng family's aunt was paralyzed, several sons born to the original partner controlled the inside and outside of the Feng family, and when the fourth aunt died of illness, Han Gang's cousin Feng Congyi was immediately kicked out of the house. And what they did the most was to buy off the Feng family's clansmen, and cross out the name of the fourth aunt from the family tree, so that they were no longer the main wives that Ming Media was marrying, but became concubines.
Han Gang's uncle didn't know about this matter, his fourth aunt had little contact with the family since she got married, and even cut off contact after his grandfather passed away - speaking of which, Han Gang's fourth aunt herself also had a problem, and after getting married, how could she not move around with her mother's family more. So that no one even heard about the death letter. If it weren't for Han Gang's uncle hearing the news of the death of his fourth brother-in-law, he took the initiative to come to the door to worship without receiving a funeral post, and he would not have known about it.
Judging from this matter, it is not surprising that Han Gang's uncle would have a conflict with the Feng family. Moreover, the Feng family dared to injure their uncle when they were at a loss, this unscrupulous courage is really not small. And Li Xin returned home and saw that Lao Tzu was wrapped in wounds, so he went to Feng's house to ask for an explanation. After beating people, Li Xin went directly to the county government to surrender, and was later escorted to prison
Han Gang has always been a bully for him, but he can't bear to be bullied. The Feng family did things so desperately, of course he didn't have a good temper to laugh it off. is just a hero, even if there is any luxury to cover the backer, he is not afraid at all. If he couldn't let the Feng family receive the punishment he deserved, it would be in vain that he was accused of breaking the family and being the heir of the family when he destroyed Chen Ju.
Sitting in the teahouse in front of the Yaqian in Changxing County, Han Gang took out a name card from his cuff and handed it to Li Xiaoliu.
"Xiao Liu, you go and send this post to the county government and hand it over to a Murong master, just say that Han Gang, who is studying at the end of the same sect, is waiting in the teahouse outside the yamen."
Li Xiaoliu didn't ask much, and took the post and went out. In order not to attract the attention of others, Han Gang did not wear an official robe, but only an ordinary scholar's shirt. Although the owner of the teahouse was very interested in Han Gang's unfamiliar face, and the horse he rode over was also a rare divine horse, he didn't know Han Gang's identity, so he just took a few more looks, and asked Xiao Er to send the hot and cold soup he ordered, and he didn't rush up to flatter.
Han Gang looked at the county government through the window lattice, watched Li Xiaoliu say a few words to the official guarding the door, and waited in the shadow outside the yamen, waiting for words to come from inside.
Murong Wu, the master of Tianxing, is Han Gang's senior brother under Zhang Zaimen, but when Han Gang joined the school, he had already passed the Ming Jing examination. However, when Zhang Zai was invited to give a lecture at the Green Field Pavilion in Wugong County two years ago, Murong Wu happened to come to visit once, and he was also familiar with his junior and younger brothers.
Although there has been no contact since then, since Han Gang met the Seed Master Dao when he went to the capital, he was determined to get in touch with the other disciples under Zhang Zaimen. As long as people are in Kansai, no matter which way they are officials, Han Gang now understands very well. It would be a great waste not to use such a good resource.
The first purpose of Han Gang's visit to Fengxiang this time was to save Li Xin from prison, and before meeting his uncle, he planned to meet Murong Parrot and ask the ins and outs of the matter again, and it was best to bail Li Xin out and go back to see his uncle together.
Han Gang sat alone in the teahouse, slowly tasting the drink, but the taste of the hot drinks sold in this shop was much worse than Yan Suxin's. It's just that Han Gang doesn't like waste, and his mouth is dry, so he insists on drinking it in one sip.
As soon as he summoned Xiao Er and refilled a cup for himself, Han Gang saw an official in a green robe and a long beard from a distance, hurrying towards the teahouse under the guidance of Li Xiaoliu.
Han Gang put down the teacup and walked to the door under the eyes of the teahouse owner and Xiao Er, two pairs of vigilant white diners.
"But Brother Yukun!" Murong Wu called Han Gang's words from afar.
Han Gang took a deep look: "Han Gang has seen Brother Siwen. ”
Murong Wu stepped forward in two steps, returned the salute first, straightened his waist and put Ding Hangang's arm, smiling: "Over the past few years, Yukun has been famous in Guanxi, and even Brother Yu is thunderous in Fengxiang. A few days ago, Uncle You Jing [You Shixiong] and Xue Jingyong [Xue Changchao] wrote a letter and mentioned Yukun together. It is said that now under Mr., there is another young talent. ”
"Brothers, you have praised it falsely, Han Gang is ashamed."
Han Gang and Murong Wuqian let in and walked into the teahouse together. Originally, they were worried that Han Gang was the shopkeeper and Xiao Er who came to eat white food, but now they all changed to a smiling appearance.
After the two of them gave in again, Fang Yi sat down together. After the store served the best tea soup, Murong Wu asked, "Yukun came to Fengxiang here, is it for Uncle Ling and Cousin Ling?" ”
For Murong Wu's prophetic foresight, Han Gang was not surprised, it was impossible for his uncle and cousin not to pull themselves out as a banner when they were at a loss. However, he still pretended to be surprised, and tried his best to make Murong Wu happy, "Brother Siwen is really talented, and the junior brother has already guessed it before he said it!" ”
Murong Wu didn't think so, he suddenly became proud, and said with a smile: "Uncle Ling and Cousin Ling have both mentioned your identity as Yukun, and the foolish brother is still deaf and clear in this mansion city, and this matter quickly spread to the ears of the foolish brother. After hearing about their relationship with Yukun and you, Brother Fool mentioned it to Kong Mu, who was in charge of the prison, and asked him to take care of Cousin Ling a little more. ”
Han Gang hurriedly avoided the table and thanked Murong Parrot.
Murong Wu pulled Han Gang back and feigned anger: "Yukun, what are you talking about, since you belong to the same sect, there is no reason to sit and watch. If you do this again, the foolish brother will go back. ”
Han Gang didn't take it seriously, and thanked him a few more words before sitting down and talking again.
Han Gang said to Murong Wu: "This time my junior brother came to Fengxiang, he did hear that his cousin was in prison, and he came in a hurry. My uncle is old, but he is humiliated by his juniors. The cousin disagreed and punched and hurt people, also out of pure filial piety. Now my uncle is sick in bed, and I can't think about my son every day, I don't know if Brother Siwen can let my younger brother bail out my cousin to comfort my uncle's heart. ”
Han Gang opened his eyes and said nonsense, while Murong Wu was embarrassed, sighed a few times for the misfortune of Li Xin's father and son, and said, "Actually, this is not a problem. To tell the truth, Uncle Ling is quite famous in the Fengxiang army, Yukun, your grandfather is also very famous, and Cousin Ling is walking under the jurisdiction of Qin Fengchao, plus Yukun, your fame, don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, although Liu Jie in the mansion said that he was going to fight, the officials in the mansion did not dare to make a heavy hand......"
"Please wait, Brother Siwen." Han Gang hurriedly stopped Murong Wu and asked in surprise: "Why has this matter already reached the mansion, shouldn't it be handled by the county?" ”
"The Feng family made trouble in the county once, because Uncle Ling and cousin Ling are not under the jurisdiction of Changxing County, it is not easy to deal with the county, and He Zhi County is pushed to the mansion. But Yukun, you don't have to worry, although Cousin Ling did hurt people, no one in the Feng family was seriously injured, and he was a father who came out, so no one would embarrass him. Later, Yukun, you and Brother Yu will go to the mansion together, and say a few good words in front of Chen Tongju and Liu Jietui, and they will naturally be released. ”
Hearing this, Han Gang thanked him repeatedly.
Murong Wu lifted the lid of the cup, slowly took a sip of tea soup, and asked, "Since those two are really Yukun's uncle and cousin, then Feng Dekun ......?"
Han Gang immediately said: "It's the husband of the fourth aunt of the younger brother." ”
"Yukun," Murong Wu's expression became solemn, put down the teacup, and said to Han Gang, "As far as the foolish brother knows, when the fourth aunt first arrived at the Feng family, she only said that it was a concubine, although she was later corrected, but because Feng Dekun was paralyzed, she did not allow the third son of the Feng family born to the original partner to visit her father, and Feng Dekun found the elders of the clan as evidence, and took him away, but the fourth aunt died of a violent illness that night, so when the funeral was carried out, it was still in accordance with the rites of the concubine room. As for Feng Congyi, who was born to the fourth aunt, because of his mother's affairs, he did not agree with the three brothers, so he left home last year and has not returned. Therefore, Uncle Ling and Cousin Ling came to the door, and the people of the Feng family also felt wronged. ”
'What is this?!' Han Gang was stunned, why did the two sides say something completely different, is this Rashomon?
