Chapter 155: Summoned to the palace for questioning
"Chang Ying, the fact that you killed the holy fish is no longer a matter in the family, this is related to the prestige of the court and the church, and it must not be neglected, so I will go with you when I enter the palace this time." Feng Hechang felt very unhappy when he saw Father-in-law An's attitude towards Feng Changying, but he still pretended to speak kindly, "When you enter the palace this time, you don't have to panic, I, as the patriarch, will definitely help you, how did you kill the holy fish, and why did you do such a wrong thing, you must not hide it, you must tell the emperor truthfully." ”
Feng Hechang's words were saying that the holy fish must have been killed by Feng Changying, and the affirmative tone seemed to be on the spot, and Feng Changying had a feeling of wanting to strangle him, and then Gonggong An, who was present, was also very unhappy when he heard it.
"Master Feng's words seem to be a little inappropriate!" Although Gonggong An was very respectful to Feng Changying, he turned around and made a straight face at Feng Hechang, "The death of the holy fish of the Feng family should be the responsibility of everyone in the Feng family, and Master Feng is the culprit as the patriarch, how can he just push the responsibility to Lord Feng?" What's more...... Since this matter has reached the ears of the emperor, and the emperor also intends to inquire about this matter, since this is the case, then this matter cannot be decided by others. Master Feng, you said that Lord Feng was the murderer of the Fengjia Holy Fish, but you have already made more decisions for the emperor? ”
Hearing Grandpa An's words, Feng Hechang hurriedly put on a smile: "Grandpa An misunderstood, how dare the grass people do this?" It's just that the killing of this holy fish is indeed inseparable from Chang Ying......"
"Okay, it's not too early, the miscellaneous family should go to the palace with Lord Feng first, Master Feng, you don't have to delay." Gonggong An didn't give Feng He a good face at all, and the things in the deep courtyard of these wealthy families were no less than those in the harem, so he didn't bother to pay attention to it, and turned around and asked Feng Changying to go with him.
Light Mengyou, Mu Lixiang and Chou Xinghe saw that Feng Changying was left, and they all quickly returned to the Demon Pet Space, and now even Baili Wuxin, who was under the protection of the wolf guard, was seriously injured and unconscious, and they didn't dare to leave Feng Changying for half a step.
It's about to be a big New Year, why won't things be less?
Seeing Feng Hechang in front of him respectfully leading Gonggong An and Feng Chang out of the gate, and after he got into the carriage and left Fengfu, Feng Ruoqin came out of the corner.
"This time, even the holy fish is dead, Bong Chang win to see how you come back alive!"
"If this sin is implicated, I'm afraid that we will not have good fruit to eat in the palace." Yan also walked out from the other corner, because she had become the head of the house, so she had already changed her dress, but she lost the coquettishness and charm when she was an aunt, but she was a little more dignified and calm, she sneered and looked at Feng Ruoqin, "Don't think about finding trouble with Miss Changying all day long, otherwise it will be widely implicated, and I will not spare you." ”
"The second lady is serious, if something happens to Fengfu, Ruoqin will also be unlucky, but the patriarch is wise, and if something happens to Changying's sister, there is no need to be afraid of this!" Thinking that he would stay here all the time in the future, Feng Ruoqin would naturally not have a bad relationship with the Yan family, so he said this very tactfully.
"If that's the case, that's the best!" Yan glared at Feng Ruoqin, and didn't say anything more, she has been in Fengfu for many years, although she is just competing for favor with the eldest lady Duan, but none of the women in these wealthy families are fuel-efficient lamps, and Feng Ruoqin has been following Feng Xiangmeng before, and it is obviously very means to survive until now, so she doesn't want to have any conflict with Feng Ruoqin.
But...... If this matter did not implicate the Feng family, but it was a good thing to be able to kill Feng Changying, although she and Feng Changying were not enemies, but she was a mother, she was an aunt before, and it was understandable that her daughter was a concubine, Feng Hechang wanted to choose her daughter to be the lady of the family, but she didn't dare to gasp, but now that the Duan family is crazy, and she has become the head of the house, then it's time to plan for her daughter.
******
Feng Changying entered the palace by taking Gonggong An's palace car, while Feng Hechang was sitting in the carriage of the Feng family, but this not too far distance made Feng Changying deeply understand how the holy fish existed for the people in Lian Kingdom, especially in Jinyan City!
Feng Hechang's carriage went all the way from Caiyun District to Emperor Lin District, and was actually greeted all the way with rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs, and even the horseman who drove the horse was very cautious and hid behind the curtain, just stretched out his hand to pull the carriage.
However, the people who threw rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs were also black and white, just smashing them into the carriage of the carriage, which was clearly to practice vision, and that degree of accuracy Feng Changying was sure that as long as Feng Hechang poked his head out of the carriage window of the carriage, he would definitely be hit!
Listening to the people outside the carriage shouting to kill the murderer of the holy fish, Feng Changying felt that this matter was not easy to solve!
"Father-in-law An, what's going on with this holy fish falling to the ground? That's the holy fish of the Feng family, why is it that when he died, there was a storm in the city, and even the people were indignant? "Feng Changying really doesn't understand what the hell is going on!
"Lord Feng didn't grow up in this Jinyan City, so it's normal not to know about this." Gonggong An said softly, "Lianguo takes the holy fish as the national emblem, and this holy fish is actually a kind of magical beast similar to a koi, with a gentle nature and a long lifespan, and there are many water elements gathered everywhere it is, so it is an auspicious existence in Lianguo." Even the Church of the Goddess of Life worships the holy fish as a mascot in the Ripple Kingdom.
Therefore, in Jinyan City, as long as it is a wealthy family that can be ranked, whether it is a family in Caiyun District or Dilin District, when the family settles in Jinyan City, the imperial court will raise a holy fish and the koi provided by the church to be blessed by the goddess of life in the koi pond. And because it is necessary to ensure that the holy fish lives in a good environment, it will not be kept in the family's mansion, but in the family with the highest prestige or the oldest elder in the clan.
It's just that the Holy Fish is a very strong and spiritual magical beast, and generally speaking, it will not be easily killed, even if it is only a descendant of a pure-blooded Holy Fish and an ordinary koi, it definitely has the strong vitality of a purebred Holy Fish......"
"I was also wondering, when I just reached out and it jumped up and touched me......"
"The holy fish is very spiritual, if it takes the initiative to approach you, it is because it likes you, and it is also regarded as a blessing of the water element, why is the holy fish dead......" Father-in-law An was also full of doubts in his heart, he didn't believe that Feng Changying would kill the holy fish, even if she didn't know that the holy fish was a mascot at all!
In the midst of doubts, Feng Changying came to the palace and saw Baili Zixuan in a palace.
"The grass people see the emperor!" Because Feng Hechang was in front of Feng Changying, he first gave Baili Zixuan a salute.
"Long Win to ......"
"Xin'er has already given a dowry, and you are also my daughter-in-law, so let's call my father." Baili Zixuan still has some understanding of the Feng family's holy fish case this time, and seeing that Feng Hechang is rushing to salute, he is clearly about to rush to speak, so he talks to Feng Changying like this, and it is clear that he will not give Feng Hechang a chance.
"Chang Ying, please give my father a greeting." Feng Changying understood Baili Zixuan's deliberate favoritism, so he obediently changed his name.
An Gonggong stood quietly behind Baili Zixuan, glanced at Feng Hechang, and then looked away.
"It's all excused." Baili Zixuan leaned back slightly, making his sitting posture more comfortable, before continuing to speak, "I brought you into the palace today because of the killing of the holy fish of the Feng family." The corpse of the holy fish has been sent to the Imperial Doctor's Hall, because in order to avoid suspicion, Chang Ying you still don't know the results of the imperial doctor's examination of the corpse. ”
"Yes, since the incident, Chang Ying has been under house arrest in Fengfu......"
"House arrest?"
Baili Zixuan frowned a little dissatisfied, and knew in his heart that if it wasn't for Feng Changying being restricted from acting, he would definitely not pass the word to Baili Wuxin, let Baili Wuxin help, Baili Wuxin would not have gone out of the city in such a hurry, and then encountered an attack, all of this is not right for Feng Hechang in the final analysis!
"Master of the Feng family, the holy fish of the Feng family was killed, this has nothing to do with you, why did you directly put Chang Ying under house arrest, so what about yourself? Are you also under house arrest? ”
As soon as he heard Baili Zixuan's words, Feng Hechang's face changed, he didn't expect Baili Zixuan to be so partial to Feng Changying, but he had already prepared for this matter, so his answer at this moment was neither humble nor arrogant: "If you go back to the emperor, the grass people shoulder the heavy responsibility of the imperial merchant of medicinal materials, although they understand that they have a heavy karma and should not go in and out freely, if they delay their own business, it will not hurt, but they will never dare to delay the supply of this medicinal material, if the inventory of medicinal materials in the imperial medical hall is reduced, Mistaking the health of the royal family and the imperial court is really the biggest sin of the grass people! ”
"Since this is the case, then this matter is over, if there is anything in the future, you must not delay Changying, after all, her identity is my daughter-in-law." Baili Zixuan actually didn't want to make a big deal about this, so he brought it over, "Then let's talk about the holy fish." Imperial Doctor Qu examined the corpse of the holy fish and determined that its death was caused by an external force. Changying, tell me more about what happened that day? ”
External force?
Feng Changying couldn't help frowning, and then bowed to Baili Zixuan, and spoke slowly: "Back to the emperor, I was invited by my cousin Feng An'an to be a guest at the mansion of Elder Wu in the clan that day, because Changying has liked small animals since he was a child, so he stopped to watch when he saw the koi pond in Elder Wu's mansion, and at that time, a red carp much larger than ordinary carp came out of the water.
Chang Ying, because he was born in Xiyun Town in the north, was originally the daughter of the side branch of the Feng family, and he only came to Jinyan City a few months ago, so he didn't know anything about this holy fish, so he didn't know that the red carp was a holy fish. Because the appearance of the holy fish is very spiritual, Chang Ying likes it very much, so he stretched out his hand towards it. The holy fish jumped out of the water and touched my finger and fell back into my hand, where it tossed in agony and died.
Chang Ying was imprisoned by Elder Wu and sent directly back to Fengfu, and the patriarch put Chang Ying under house arrest after learning about it. ”
