Chapter 110: Good Intentions Are Rewarded (First Update)
Chen You only stayed in Zhaoling for one night, and continued to embark on the journey early the next morning. Knowing that he still had to go to many places, and Chen Mo had a lot of things on his mind, he didn't force him to stay.
The fewer people who know about the carrier pigeon, the better, at least not let King Lu know, so Chen Mo chose to set up the terminal of the air passage at Wang's sister-in-law's house, and rushed over yesterday, in fact, to inform the capital and pay more attention to the progress of the missing child. Li Tianyou's words reminded him that he had an intuition that the missing child had something to do with the palace, and even he was almost certain that Han Rongfa must be involved behind this matter.
"How are you sure it has something to do with Grandpa Han?" Feng Bao asked.
Jingzhong never replied, Chen Mo couldn't do anything, so he simply came to talk to Feng Bao and told him his guess.
"Does the old ancestor know that Gonggong Han is the bedridden eunuch of the Empress Dowager Chen?" Chen Mo did not answer the rhetorical question.
Feng Bao nodded: "When the first emperor was in power, the Chen family of Cining Palace was not favored, so Han Rongfa was in charge of the position from this, our family was in charge of the ceremonial supervisor, and the commander of the East Factory, there were many ears and eyes, so he naturally knew about it." However, this is a very secret matter, how do you know about it? Also, what does it have to do with the missing children? ”
What happened in Cining Palace was nothing to hide from Feng Bao, but he had never had a chance before, but now that Feng Bao asked, Chen Mo naturally told him about it, and finally without waiting for Feng Bao to express his opinion, he led the topic to those missing children: "The younger generation forgot what book he had seen, there is a secret recipe for eunuchs to be reborn, and Fang Zhong seems to involve children's ......"
Feng Bao was shocked, and his complexion changed greatly. Interrupting Chen Mo and saying, "What are you talking about, but the prescription for sucking children's brain marrow?" ”
"Exactly!" After Chen Mo crossed over, his memory increased greatly, and he could remember everything he had seen in the past. Yesterday, when he heard Li Tianyou talk about Jiajing's alchemy of boys and girls, he remembered that he had recorded in "Wanli Ye Ed.": "Recently, Fujian tax should be a high policy. Vainly plotting the rebirth of the Yang 0 body, being confused by the warlock, stealing and buying the brains of the boys, and killing the children is not counted, then they are ruthless and stupid! Soon thought of Han Rongfa, the bed-going eunuch of Empress Dowager Chen, and then hurriedly informed the capital to pay attention to the progress of the missing child.
"But doesn't the ancient recipe say that only the brain marrow of a boy is effective? That Qian lost a girl......"
"The younger generation has asked Chen You, and among those lost children are also girls." Chen Mo interrupted Feng Bao, frowned and said, "This is also a question that the younger generation has been puzzled about, wait for the news in the capital." Regardless of whether this matter has anything to do with the palace or not, the younger generation is also determined to find out about this matter. ”
"I have to find out!" Feng Bao nodded and agreed: "Those parents who lost their children don't know how anxious they are, we haven't heard of it, now that we know, we should take responsibility." In this way, after the meeting the day after tomorrow, you will secretly go to Beijing to investigate the matter in person, and second, come and go. Let's take a look at the business of pawnshops and money banks in our capital. ”
As he spoke, he took out a small wooden card that was ruddy and smooth and handed it to Chen Mo: "This is Yinxin, we listen to you, some time ago, all the floating wealth was sold into silver and deposited in Huitong Bank." That was our family's secret shareholding back then, and it was opened with Xu Wenbi, our family's identity. Even Xu Wenbi didn't know it, and he didn't recognize people...... Originally, our family was selfish. Thinking of passing this wooden card to Feng Bangning (Feng Bao's nephew), who knew that he got the news a few days ago. After he and Feng You returned to their hometown, they were ...... by thieves."
Feng Bao didn't say anything after that, and sighed, as if he was ten years old.
Chen Mo knew the reason why Feng Bao had been sullen these days, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled, Shi Zai Feng You and Feng Bangning were indeed sent back to their hometowns after being questioned, and they didn't say that they were dead. Don't......? "Feng Bao's fate has changed, and it is normal for their fate to change. Besides, the historical books only record that the two were sent back to their hometowns, but they do not record the fate of the two, so how do you know that the original history of the two was not killed by Wanli? ”
Thinking about it like this, Chen Mo was immediately relieved, saying that he had been robbed, it was definitely Wanli who sent someone to do it, but Feng Bao didn't want to say it explicitly.
"In the past, our family still had a hope, but now our family is really lonely, and we can only rely on you!" Feng Bao is Feng Bao after all, and he quickly recovered from his grief, squinted his eyes and said: "Our family only hopes for the rest of our lives, and you can help our family avenge this great revenge." ”
Kill Zhu Yijun?
Chen Mo's face was embarrassed and he hesitated. To be honest, Zhu Yijun actually treats him really well. Yes, some things are really infuriating, but if he really wants to kill Zhu Yijun, he really can't be so ruthless.
Feng Bao seemed to be able to see through his heart, the look of anticipation gradually faded, sighed, and said: "Our family knows that this is a bit difficult for you, forget it, as long as you don't let our family and Taiyuegong's hard work be paid in vain, the rest, let it be, our family will not force you." ”
The other party treated him like this, Chen Mo was impulsive, suddenly knelt down in front of Feng Bao, and said very sincerely: "Ancestor, if you don't dislike it, the child is willing to recognize you as his father, no, grandfather, if the child has a chance to get a boy in the future, he will teach his surname Feng to pass on the incense ......"
"Do you really think so?" Feng Bao didn't expect Chen Mo to say this, obviously a little excited, he was lying on the recliner and sat up, his eyelids didn't blink, staring at Chen Mo's eyes firmly.
"Isn't it just a child's last name? The ancestors treated the child with reconstruction, the child is grateful, and the broken bones can't repay your great kindness, if it weren't for the Chen family, the child would be a boy, and he didn't dare to change his surname, what are these? Chen Mo said angrily, but thought in his heart: "It's just a matter of changing your surname, anyway, the child is still our child, besides, now that it is legal to take concubines, it is not enough to find more women and have more babies, it is impossible to be so unlucky, just give birth to a boy, right?" ”
"Okay, you can do this, our family really didn't misunderstand you." Feng Bao was overjoyed and said, "It's up to you, our family has accepted you as a righteous grandson." There is no need to toss any ceremony, there is a teapot on the table, you kowtow three more times, and salute our family with a bowl of tea, and it will be a matter of fact. ”
Chen Mo hurriedly got up and poured tea according to his words, knelt down again with both hands, respectfully handed it to Feng Bao, kowtowed three times, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart: "I saved you at the beginning, but I was worried about the future of Daming, so I had to bite the bullet, but now it seems that there is really a good reward for my kindness, and I don't know how many detours I will take in the future." ”
Feng Bao personally got up and picked up Chen Mo, the haze of the past few days was swept away, and he was about to say something, when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, and Li Tianyou's voice came: "Ancestor, is Yin Gong here for you?" The voice was anxious, as if something big had happened, and without waiting to speak, Chen Mo quickly walked over and opened the door and asked, "What's wrong, why are you in such a hurry?" Busy pricked up his ears. (To be continued......)
