Chapter 60: The Villain
In the Zhenguo Mansion, Qi Xiao suddenly received the news that Qi Yuan was being detained by Xiao Yu for treason in the court.
"Quick! Take care of the Internal Affairs Office, Mrs. Ben is going to see the master! β
Qi Xiao hurriedly ordered.
But the chief butler of the Zhenguo Mansion persuaded: "Madam, the slave feels that now is not the time to visit the grandfather of the country, after all, the emperor has the will to kill the prince there, if he hits the head of the gun at this time, it will be disadvantageous to the grandfather of the country!" β
This big housekeeper has always been Qi Yuanzheng's confidant, and in some things, Qi Yuanzheng trusts him far more than Qi Xiao's.
At this time, Qi Xiao knew that he was just a woman in the house, and the chief housekeeper knew more about the affairs of the court, so he asked, "Then what do you say we should do now?" You can't just watch your master have an accident, right? β
Qi Xiao said worriedly.
The chief butler pondered for a moment and said: "Although the grandfather of the country is in prison now, after all, he has the title given by the first emperor himself, and if he wants to come for a while, the emperor can't do anything about the grandfather of the country, and the lady is now rushing to the north as soon as possible and inviting the king of Beiqing to come to the town." The slave then went to contact some of the protΓ©gΓ©s of Grandpa Guo and wanted to rescue Grandpa Guo. β
When Qi Xiao heard this, he said, "Okay, I'll pack up my things and go to the Northland." β
With the Beiqing Palace, Qi Xiao's family was immediately relieved, she didn't believe it, Xiao Yu was not afraid of the strength of the Beiqing Palace.
As long as the Beiqing Mansion unites Qi Yuanzheng's protΓ©gΓ©, Xiao Yu will not be able to release Qi Yuanzheng honestly at that time?
In this way, Qi Yuanzheng's chief butler and Qi Xiao's family left the Zhenguo Mansion one after another.
And all this was being seen by the spies sent by Xiao Yu at this time, but in the time of a stick of incense, Xiao Yu knew the small actions of the Zhenguo Mansion.
"Xu Lin, within fifteen days, I want to make the Zhenguo Gong Party completely disappear from the court!"
Xiao Yu commanded.
Xu Lin replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the slave will do it!" β
Fifteen days is enough for Xiao Yu, who has long been preparing to make a move on the Zhenguo Mansion!
And the distance between the north and the capital, once back and forth, it will take fifteen days at the earliest!
At that time, even if the prince of Beiqing is under pressure?!
Qi Yuanzheng was already a dead man at that time, even if the king of Beiqing had great ability, could he still bring Qi Yuanzheng back to life? !
The sudden changes in the capital are still unknown to the people in Gannan Province.
Except for Su Qingyu, who received a secret letter from the Su family.
"The Duke of Zhenguo was taken to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for treason earlier this day. Concubine Shu was promoted to the rank of concubine because of her contribution to disaster relief! β
After reading this letter, Su Qingyu lit it with fire, put it in the brazier, and looked at the burning flames.
The previous plan to reduce food prices turned out to be what she thought of.
And so soon, she was already a concubine.
Su Qingyu knew that this secret letter also specially brought the news that Nie Yan was crowned a concubine, which was nothing more than to let him dispel all illusions, but the more this was the case, the more reluctant Su Qingyu became.
Even if he can't see each other, he can't stay together, as long as he knows that she is doing well, he will have enough for everything, and he will have nothing else.
"Master Su, Feng Wei is out asking to see Master Feng."
Suddenly there was a voice from the concierge outside the room, Su Qingyu put away his emotions and responded, "Please go to the main hall of Lord Feng." β
The porter answered, and footsteps went away. Su Qingyu saw that the flames in the brazier were extinguished, and then walked towards the main hall.
Atrium.
"Xiaguan Feng Weiji has seen Master Su."
Feng Weiji bowed to Su Qingyu.
Su Qingyu responded: "Lord Feng's illness is better?" This official has been here for a few days, and now it is the first time he has seen Lord Feng. β
Feng Weiji heard Su Qingyu's ridicule of him, but he still smiled and said: "Master Su doesn't know, Xiaguan suffered from rheumatism in his early years, and the pain was unbearable on rainy days, and now Gannan Road is flooded, and he can't even get out of bed these days." If there is any neglect, I still hope that Su Daren Haihan. β
"But this official has heard that Lord Feng also went to the grain meeting two days ago and discussed a lot of things with those grain merchants."
Su Qingyu picked up the tea in his hand and mentioned it as if he was inadvertent.
Feng Weiji was a little surprised, wasn't Su Qingyu still busy preparing for disaster relief food two days ago? How can you still have the leisure to take care of him?
However, since he dared to come to see Su Qingyu, Feng Weiji had already made all preparations.
"Don't hide it from Master Su, when the official heard that the price of grain had risen outrageously, he was worried, thinking that he had been guarding the party for many years in Gannan Road, and he would intercede with those grain merchants, maybe he could suppress the rise in grain prices, but he didn't expect that those people were actually obsessed with money, and they refused to lower the price of anything."
Speaking of this, Feng Weiji was ashamed, as if he was very disappointed in those grain merchants.
If it weren't for Su Qingyu, who had already learned through the Su family's own channels, that Feng Weiji had colluded with grain merchants for many years and had been greedy for a lot of silver, he would have really been deceived by his acting skills.
"Lord Feng has been an official in Gannan Province for many years, and those grain merchants really don't give Lord Feng any face?"
Su Qingyu raised his eyebrows and asked at Feng Weiji's words.
When Feng Weiji heard this, he said with a little embarrassment: "Originally, Xia Guan still had three points of thin noodles in front of those people, but since the biggest grain merchant Rong Ji has a Rong Gongzi, those grain merchants don't take Xia Guan seriously. β
"Oh? Who is this Rong Gongzi? Su Qingyu seemed to be curious.
What Feng Weiji wants is for Su Qingyu to shift his attention to Rong Gongzi, if Su Qingyu can come forward to eradicate Rong Mansion, then the grain merchants of Gannan Province will still have to listen to him, and the grain channels of Gannan Province are an important part of achieving great things in the future.
"That Rong Gongzi is the eldest son of Rong Ji, and now he is a first-class staff member in the Zhenguo Mansion. My lord, you also know that such a character as Zhenguo Gong can be offended by a little Taishou like Xiaguan? β
Feng Weiji sighed again and again.
Hearing this, Su Qingyu came back to his senses, and said why did Feng Weiji take the initiative to send it to the door today, it turned out that he still had the intention of killing people with a knife.
However, Su Qingyu didn't expect that Zhen Guogong's hand would dare to reach into this Gannan Road now.
Could it be that the matter of the two Taicang in Hexi can't make the Zhenguo Gong jealous?
Or is it true that Zhen Guogong has no scruples so far? So on the side of the capital, can all the blows to Zhenguo Gong still be carried out smoothly?
Su Qingyu was worried in his heart, but his face was perfunctory Feng Weiji: "Lord Feng's way of being an official is to learn deeply. The official is ashamed of himself. β
Feng Weiji heard that Su Qingyu was laughing at him for being cowardly as a mouse, and he didn't fulfill his responsibilities as an official, but he just laughed twice and didn't defend himself too much.
Su Qingyu didn't have the mind to understand Feng Weiji anymore, in his heart, Feng Weiji was a villain who had no responsibility.
After a few more words, he sent Feng Weiji away.
When Feng Wei stepped out of the mansion, a smile appeared on his face.
He knew that his image in Su Qingyu's heart had been decided.
Villains, insignificant villains.
Feng Weiji's purpose today is like this.
