Chapter 5: Ruthless
I see.
Jiang Wenzhong's merits outweigh his faults, and he just wants to retire decently, so it is understandable to invite Feng Huayu to have a good meal and find out the news.
Speaking of which, Jiang Wenzhong's sons are not in the court, but in other places as governors, assassinating history or something.
When the emperor was still there, Feng Huayu checked it, and this matter was requested by Jiang Wenzhong himself.
Considering that the emperor's illness worsened at that time, this old guy was afraid that he had a premonition and decided to stay away from the court.
Now after asking for it, he can find a place to retire, and no one is in the court, so these disputes are naturally none of his business.
The old guy has a long-term and vicious vision.
When Jiang Wenzhong talked about this matter, he must have made up his mind, Feng Huayu knew that he couldn't dissuade him, so he asked, "Then when does Brother Jiang plan to resign?" ”
Jiang Wenzhong shook his head: "I haven't thought about it yet, but it won't be more than two months at the latest." ”
"Does anyone else know about this?"
"No, Brother Feng was the first to know."
Hearing this, Feng Huayu couldn't help but clench his fists: "Thank you." ”
Jiang Wenzhong is an old minister in the end, and he must be able to see the emperor's current predicament, so he chose to tell Feng Huayu the news first, which can be regarded as a wake-up call for them.
deserves to thank Fenghua Yudao.
It's just that Feng Huayu was a little irritable in his heart, and he just wanted to rest and rest, but now he was afraid that he couldn't rest.
"Lord Jiang, don't make a noise about this matter for the time being?"
"Please also ask Lord Jiang to wait for a month, and after a month, it will not be too late for Lord Jiang to resign."
Jiang Wenzhong nodded, in fact, he is not bad for this month, anyway, this time he called Fenghuayu to come out and sell it well, it is better to sell a little more.
"So, thank you."
Jiang Wenzhong waved his hand, but he didn't talk more about this topic.
……
After eating, Feng Huayu went home with an umbrella.
Jiang Wenzhong's incident caught him off guard somewhat, but Jiang Wenzhong informed him in advance, this was his first opportunity.
It's a pity that now that I have been dismissed, this matter is not very easy to handle.
The news has been spread, and people have drawn up a decree, and if they go to the emperor again at this time to retract their orders, I am afraid that they will be tongue-bound.
After all, the biggest effect of this matter is to relieve the pressure from the ministers, and the pressure on the emperor is not small with so many people suing today.
If you regret it at this time, and the news spreads, I am afraid that the ministers will have greater resentment, wouldn't it help Zhao Wuyin?
And without an official position in hand, Feng Huayu will inevitably be restrained when he does a lot of things, and this matter is really difficult to do.
Thinking about it, I was already in front of the door.
The Criminal Department of the Criminal Department is just a six-grade official position, which is not enough for the imperial court to give a mansion, and in this capital where every inch of land is valuable, Fenghuayu can only afford to live in a dilapidated courtyard.
If it weren't for the requirements of the ministers today, he would be a six-rank official, and he would not have the qualifications to go to the court.
As for the maids and miscellaneous servants, then don't think about it.
But fortunately, although it is ancient, the general convenience of life is still enough, you can go to the restaurant for dinner, you can hire someone to wash clothes or something, and labor is very cheap in this era, and you can find someone to wash a basin of clothes with two copper plates.
Fenghuayu is not short of money, and there is no problem with food, clothing, housing and transportation, and he is alone and has no other needs.
If you don't have to fight wits and courage with the ministers of the DPRK and China all day long, life can actually be regarded as leisurely.
I really didn't sleep last night, so as soon as Feng Huayu came back, I lay down in bed to make up for sleep.
And during the time he slept, the outside world was not calm.
With the release of the official document of the imperial court, the case of the disaster silver was also made public.
After all, the main culprit himself confessed, and things were done quickly.
The main offender Fang and his fellow prisoner Liu and several concubines were transferred to the Jiaofang Division, and the rest of the family, including the little girl Fang Lin, were demoted to lowly status and expelled from the capital.
There are other related ones, all of which have been sentenced to varying degrees of severity.
In the morning, the official document came out, and at noon people were dragged to the noon gate to be beheaded, and in the afternoon the matter spread in the capital.
After all, in this era of lack of entertainment, it is rare for the common people to have something to talk about, and the people hate the most are also corrupt officials.
Things are fermenting, but this matter is at most like this, and it will not be long before it subsides.
Fenghuayu slept until night before waking up.
He's really tired these days, and this sleep time is not short.
The room was dark and quiet, only there were few voices faintly heard in the distance, Feng Huayu felt lonely for a while, got up and washed, and prepared to go out to have some fun.
But he didn't want to, as soon as he opened the courtyard door, a dagger with a cold light stabbed at the door in front of him.
It's just that the speed of this knife is not fast, and the way of force is wrong, obviously it is not a person who practices martial arts.
Feng Huayu just dodged with a slight tilt of his head, and then raised his hand and bent his fingers to flick the wrist of the comer, and the comer was suddenly in pain, and the dagger was out of his hand.
Feng Huayu saw clearly that the person in front of him was only a teenage girl, her hair was disheveled and disheveled, as if she had escaped from somewhere.
When I looked closely, it was Fang Lin, Fang Youtong's girl.
Fang Lin covered her wrists, and saw Feng Huayu staring at her, filled with grief and indignation: "You bastard, you hurt my father and mother, I will die with you!" ”
Fang Lin cried, picked up the dagger again, and stabbed towards Fenghua Yu.
Fenghuayu was speechless.
Fang Lin has no martial arts, it is naturally nonsense to want to hurt him, Feng Huayu is just puzzled, what are the soldiers of the Criminal Department doing, even a little girl who doesn't know martial arts can let her escape?
A few dodged to dodge Fang Lin's attack, and then Feng Huayu poked out with his fingers, held the dagger, and then flicked it hard, and the dagger suddenly took off his hand and planted it straight on the door.
Feng Huayu frowned, and was about to say something, but saw Fang Lin take it out of his arms, spilling a cloud of dust and mist.
As soon as he entered his nose, Feng Huayu sensed that this thing was afraid that it was not an ordinary poison, and immediately stopped snorting and retreated.
But Fang Lin couldn't dodge, after spilling, such a close distance was inevitably inhaled by her, and then she covered her neck, grew her mouth, and fell to her knees.
"I ...... Want...... Kill ...... You ......"
Feng Huayu frowned, waiting for the poisonous mist to dissipate, then took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth and nose, and went over to pinch Fang Lin's veins.
It's so vicious, it's hopeless.
It was only now that Fenghuayu spoke.
"Your father and mother volunteered to take the blame so that you could live, but you ended up looking for your own death."
"You can't take out this poison, someone else gave it to you, and someone else helped you escape, just to let you kill me."
"Fool who was used as a gunman."
Feng Huayu's heart was a little colder at this time, even Fang Lin was like this, so if he wanted to come to Fang and other family members, I am afraid it would be about the same.
The person behind him is really vicious.
