Chapter Ninety-Three: Yu Ru Yu Cheng
From Tianji Palace to Liufu Garden, Du Yifeng and Wei Xingzhen rode horses and followed on both sides of the carriage, while Feng Yan was a little curious to learn a lot about Ji Ran's past from Du Tianshi.
Speaking of which, Ji Ran's background is not low.
His father, He Yunzhou, is the second son of Chang'an Changguo Mansion, and his mother's Ji family is also a family in the Jinling area.
Feng Yan thought a little in her heart, Ji Ran's father was He Yunzhou, and He Yunzhou's father was He Zhigong - this was the uncle who risked death to intercede before the emperor and saved He Kui from the execution ground.
So count it up, Ji Ran and He Kui are ...... It turned out to be an uncle and nephew.
"It turns out that Master Ji's father is He Yunzhou." Feng Yan nodded, "Then I probably understand......"
"Why does he take his mother's surname, does Sister know?" Feng Xiaoqi asked.
"I've heard my mother talk about it before," Feng Yan said softly, "Master Ji's mother, Ji's family, Xiaozi Yucheng, is also a talented woman, and she was very famous when she was in Jinling. When He Yunzhou was an official in Jinling, he asked to marry, and it took three years before he got the beauty. β
"Ah, Mrs. Naji must have high requirements for her husband."
"If you want to say high, it's not high."
"What conditions did she make?"
"There was only one condition that Mrs. Ji put forward back then," Feng Yan said softly, "that is, from the beginning to the end." β
Feng Xiaoqi frowned - what a high requirement is this.
"And then?"
"I heard my mother say that this request He Yunzhou was still able to do it at the beginning, but in the early years of Tianfu, the Ji family was involved in the Jiangnan weaving corruption case, and the family fell into the middle, and the situation since then is not very different from before. Later, Ji's pregnancy was made, and He Yunzhou took a secret concubine in the outer courtyard, and Ji's only found out after giving birth. β
"This ......"
"After that, Ji handed a complaint to the yamen, wanting to reconcile with her husband." Feng Yan said softly, "This case caused trouble in the Ministry of Rites and Dali Temple back then, because He Yunzhou did not have any obvious fault, and the Ji family insisted on taking the child away - after all, it was He Yunzhou's eldest son, where would the He family be willing to let him go." β
"How was it judged after that?"
"The lawsuit lasted for four years, and it is said that it was all dismissed, but some good people told His Majesty about it, and His Majesty praised Ji's 'love to the Deep', and also sent someone to give Ji a pine hairpin on the spot, praising her for her noble temperament. After that, the He family relented. β
Feng Xiaoqi laughed, "It's okay." β
Feng Yan shook her head, "It's not good, the Ji family is in decline, Chang'an and Jinling are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and Mrs. Ji's original dowry was all spent in that lawsuit." She was alone in Chang'an, and she had nothing but a golden hairpin from His Majesty, a compliment. β
"Didn't anyone help her?"
"Even if you want to help, it's hard to reach out." Feng Yan said in a low voice, "After all, the He family still hopes that she can turn back-"
"No, it's not." Du Weifeng suddenly spoke, "The first half of the sentence is not. β
"That's ......."
"At that time, it was true that many people were afraid of the He family and it was difficult to reach out directly, but there were still people, many people, to help them maintain their lives. It's just that these were all rejected by Yucheng. β
Feng Xiaoqi was puzzled, "...... Why? β
Du Weifeng, who was on horseback, fell silent, he looked ahead, and did not answer.
Feng Yan thought for a while, "Maybe this is Mrs. Ji's temperament." β
"And after that?"
Feng Yan replied, "I don't know much about what happened later, in short, I heard that Mrs. Ji overworked later, and died of illness within a year or two of leaving, and there is no news about what happened to the child......
Feng Yan sighed - it turned out that the child in this story was Ji Ran, if it weren't for Xiao Qi mentioning it today, she probably wouldn't have thought of this layer all along.
"Heavenly Master." Feng Xiaoqi looked over from the car.
"Huh?"
"It feels like you're very familiar with Ji-sama, and you're his ......"
Xiao Qi was about to blurt out the three words guardian in his mouth, but he felt that something was wrong.
For a moment, she couldn't find the right description, so she stopped there a little stumbling.
"I'm a friend of his uncle." Du mocked the wind and said in a low voice.
Feng Xiaoqi understood, "No wonder......"
Feng Yan looked at Du Weifeng, only feeling that what he said was a little insincere.
Du mocked up and laughed, "Although this kid is as stubborn as his mother, he is still quite clever. β
"Ghostly?" Feng Yan tilted her head slightly, "How do you say this?" β
Du mocked the wind and told the story.
It turned out that when Ji Ran was transferred from the Ping Demon Office to Dali Temple, Du Tianshi was really worried about him for a while.
Most of the people in Dali Temple are clerical, and Ji Ran's previous skills in the Ping Demon Department are only afraid that they will not be useful for a while, and he is unruly and unruly, but I am afraid that he will be taught to be a man before he has survived.
However, in the first month after Ji Ran ended the first year of observation and was officially transferred to the Minzhi Division, he made a bloody storm.
ββWithin a month, he took a group of old scholars from Dali Temple to clear up all the cases that had been backlogged for several months or even years in accordance with the laws of the Great Zhou.
It turns out that Chang'an is deep, and some ordinary civilians and small officials who look ordinary can turn out some incredible characters if they go up for three or five generations, plus people from generation to generation, no one can say whether a mediocre neighborhood today will leap into the dragon gate tomorrow and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.
The human relations here are complicated, and if you encounter a life-threatening case, you can still judge it by the royal law, but many of these cases are actually long-standing grievances. The two families fought with each other, so they went back and forth, and finally found a big hat to buckle each other's heads and sent it to Dali Temple to ask the government to take it.
The officials of Dali Temple naturally knew the stakes and could see the thoughts behind these people, so they followed to stir up the paste, and not offend both sides, so as not to cause trouble for themselves.
But when I met Master Ji, it was different.
He had been in the Peaceful Demon Bureau, and although he was only fourteen years old at the time, he was a serious monk with eight hundred spiritual senses. Even if someone wants to hire someone to beat him up, they must first weigh whether the hired person has the ability to do so.
Secondly, he was alone, one person fed the whole family and was not hungry, he was young at the time, and his net worth was so innocent that he could no longer be innocent. The stigma that can be used on ordinary people has become a joke on him - a good young man, who does not love money and women, loves to do things that offend people...... How can this be done?
Third, there is indeed someone who really has magical powers, and following the only clues, he finally dug up his net worth background completely, and as a result, he was dug up.
- Then no one dares to mess with it.
"When he was in the Ping Demon Bureau, he was the first in everything, and it turned out that it was still the same when he arrived at Dali Temple." Du mocked up and snorted, "It's good." β
Feng Yan laughed - Wulang too, and he entered the Ping Demon Department two years later than Ji Ran, so he just missed it. Otherwise, these two people are afraid that they will have to compete in secret, and the world will be turned upside down.
Feng Yan looked at Wei Xingzhen, "Are you boys so afraid of losing?" β
"I don't know." Wei Xingzhen replied, "I haven't lost." β
