Chapter Ninety-Eight: Free Tenants

After Xiao Feng arranged the decoration of the house, he instructed all the women and dogs living in the house to live in the second row of houses during the renovation period. Because there is a bath itself, the construction can be carried out last.

Then he ate the breakfast made by Qiao Niang, meat buns and millet porridge, and went out of the house.

Xiao Feng slipped to the Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi, and the famous edict prison was under the jurisdiction of here. This is also a place where all officials in the world are daunted, and they can't wait to go around.

Xiao Feng didn't dare to go in directly, so he could only ask the Jinyi guard guarding the gate to help him go in and find Shen Lian.

The Jinyi guard guarding the door didn't know Xiao Feng, but fortunately, Xiao Feng was no longer a poor ghost at this time, a small red envelope, and the doorkeeper said happily: "Wait a minute, I'll go and show you, see if Shen Baihu is not here at this time." ”

Xiao Feng was waiting at the door, and someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder: "What are you doing here?" ”

As soon as Xiao Feng turned around, he was dressed in brocade and white robe, not angry and arrogant, it was Lu Bing, and there were two young people by his side.

A Xiao Feng has seen it, it is Qi Jiguang who has helped him fight and catch thieves; The other is even younger, only fourteen or fifteen years old, although he is not short, but there is still childishness between his eyebrows and eyes.

Xiao Feng's feelings about Lu Bing are quite complicated, on the one hand, he knows that Lu Bing is indeed protecting himself, and on the other hand, he still does not forgive Lu Bing for his inaction towards Xiao Wannian back then.

But Lu Bing is an elder, and this is in front of other people's land, a large number of subordinates, both public and private, and he can't help but give face.

So Xiao Feng bowed his hand: "Lord Lu, I'm here to find Shen Lian to do something." ”

Lu Bing nodded: "It's Wang Tuiguan's business, Shen Lian told me, come in and talk about it." ”

He paused, pointed to the two people beside him and said, "This is Qi Jiguang, the commander of Dengzhou Wei, the son of my deceased; This is my third son, Lu Yi, you saw it when you were a child, and you probably forgot about it. ”

Of course, Xiao Feng knew Qi Jiguang, but Lu Bing deliberately didn't say anything, and he also smiled and greeted the two.

The doorman who received the red envelope happened to run out at this time, and just shouted half a sentence: "Lord Shen will ...... immediately"

Seeing Lu Bing at a glance, he immediately swallowed the second half of the sentence.

Lu Bing glanced at him and walked in without speaking. Qi Jiguang smiled gloatingly, and also walked inside.

Only Lu Yi said with a straight face: "It's not good to guard the door, what are you running around, aren't you afraid of being beaten with a stick?" ”

The doorman was obviously familiar with Lu Yi, and bent down again and again with a bitter face, asking him to give him a few kind words.

Xiao Feng nodded secretly, sure enough, he was a tiger father without a dog, and he had the mentality of being the master of the house at a young age.

He followed Lu Yi and walked in, he was two years older than Lu Yi, and he remembered more, when he went to his house with his father, the two of them had taken out the bird's nest together, and I don't know if he remembered.

When he was about to enter the inner hall, Lu Yi's pace slowed down a little, and he whispered: "Brother Xiao, don't blame my father, he has a hard time. ”

A voice of Brother Xiao suddenly evoked the childhood memories of the two people, Xiao Feng looked at Lu Yi's childish face, and smiled faintly: "I don't blame him, it's just that no matter how much you can't get close to him." ”

Lu Yi nodded, meaning that he understood this feeling. To tell the truth, he is also more respectful than close to Lu Bing.

Lu Bing has few friends, and even fewer true friends. His wife also died early, and he continued to serve one term after another, and the time was too short for Lu Yi to get close.

Therefore, Xiao Wannian is one of the few elders who can enter the Lu Mansion and make Lu Yi feel close to him over the years.

Among the peers, it is Xiao Feng. He was a little nerd then, but at least he could climb trees with him.

Therefore, although Lu Yi didn't need to explain, he still said one more sentence: "The Yan party is powerful, and although my father is deeply trusted by Banzai, after all, he is alone and difficult to fully contend with, so he can only compromise with each other." ”

Xiao Feng nodded, in fact, he had always had a question: judging from Lu Bing's character, saving Xiao Wannian's life back then could be regarded as benevolent and righteous. Did he insist on continuing to protect himself just because of his friendship for Xiao Wannian?

But it is obviously inappropriate to ask Lu Yi this question, Xiao Feng believes that he will always figure it out, and he is not in a hurry.

Entering the inner hall, Shen Lian was also there, obviously being cut off by Lu Bing on the way out to greet Xiao Feng, and his face was slightly embarrassed at this time, but his tone was still very Shen Lian.

"My lord, this matter was instigated by me, and it has nothing to do with Bai Zongqi, he is just acting on orders."

Bai Zongqi is the guy who helped Xiao Feng snatch Wang Tuiguan away, obviously Lu Bing already knows everything.

Lu Bing picked Shen Lian with the corner of his eye: "Is the reason sufficient?" ”

Shen Lian was relieved: "Fully, when the Criminal Department came to ask for someone, it was also said that Wang Tuiguan was careless of people's lives and framed His Royal Highness King Jing." ”

Lu Bing nodded: "Since it involves the prince, there is nothing wrong with Jinyi Wei taking care of it at this time, just try it well." As for the matter of disregarding people's lives, let the Criminal Department prepare, and after we have tried the false accusations, we will hand them over. ”

Lu Bing looked at Xiao Feng again: "What are you doing here?" ”

Xiao Feng arched his hand and said: "My lord, this Wang Tuiguan is my neighbor, I heard that your company is going to try his case, and I thought that I might be able to provide some clues, so I volunteered." ”

He didn't blush, as if he had really come to do his duty as a good citizen.

Lu Bing pursed his lips and did not expose his purchase of other people's wives and daughters as slaves.

"In that case, leave this matter to Shen Lian for trial, and you can find Shen Lian if there is anything. I heard that you have moved, and it is better to find a few nursing homes for such a large yard. ”

Xiao Feng understood in his heart that what Lu Bing meant was that Jin Yiwei couldn't help you look after your house twenty-four hours a day. You have so many enemies, and now your family is full of women, and you don't have any ability to protect yourself, so you're not afraid of being stolen?

This is indeed something that Xiao Feng is worried about, although Yan Shifan may not dare to do it again, but Yan Shifan is not the only one who has an enmity with him. It's Zhao Wenhua, it's not impossible to get together a few people who know a little kung fu to sneak attack.

In addition to himself and Qiaoqiao, the rest of the family are given away.

Seeing his frowning appearance, Lu Bing said lightly: "If you can't find it for a while, I have an idea." Qi Jiguang will stay in Beijing for a while, and he will not be able to go to Dengzhou next year to take office. The rent in the capital is very expensive, and he is not a rich man, so it is better to live in your house. He saves money and you have more than one helper at night. ”

Xiao Feng's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea, I don't know what about Yuan Jing?" ”

He and Qi Jiguang are equal in terms of friendship, and they seem to be affectionate, but they are not like elders like Lu Bing, who nominated the surname Dao.

Shen Lian was an exception, he didn't like the words that others called him, and seemed to be more satisfied with his own name.

Qi Jiguang's eyes were brighter than Xiao Feng's, with a kind of relief unique to a poor person.

He's not pretending to be poor, he's really poor. His father left him an heirloom title, but he did not leave him an heirloom of silver.

Although he became an official, in the past few years in Dengzhou, because he is too young, he has no actual management power, and he is just a name, even if he wants to be a corrupt official, he has no chance.

How poor is Qi Jiguang at this time? According to the etiquette at that time, as his four-rank commander, it was a shame to go out on horseback or in a car, and walking.

But Qi Jiguang neither had a horse nor could afford a carriage, so he simply didn't wear an official uniform when he went out, so as not to make people look special.

All his money was used to pay the rent, and the rent was still old and shabby, and the surrounding environment was not very good. Now that he heard that there is a free house to live in, he still lives in Xiao Feng's house, which he admires very much, so he is naturally very willing.

He hesitated: "I also brought a domestic servant with me to Beijing this time, and I usually take care of my daily life. He was also born in the army and knows some kung fu. Can I live in it too? ”

This is the identity, the people are not down, although they can't afford to buy horses, but they still have servants. Of course, domestic servants like this are not hired, but are family children who have been passed down from generation to generation.

Xiao Feng waved his hand: "It's not a problem, how much the house is, just live in." ”

Lu Bing didn't pay attention to them anymore, took out an official document and read it. Xiao Feng gave Shen Lian a look, and the two of them retreated and walked straight to the edict.

The Imperial Prison is actually no more terrifying than other prisons. Because it's the people, not the places, that are scary.

Even compared to other prisons, the prison is spacious and clean.

It's just that there is always an indescribable smell wafting in the edict. It's not stale or burnt, it's a very complex taste, like the pain itself.

Smelling this smell, the greatest pain a person can ever experience automatically conjure up in your mind.

Therefore, many people, when they enter the edict and prison, have not yet been punished, they have recruited everything.

Now the expression on Wang Tuiguan's face is a bit of a trick.

Although there was Shen Lian's signal, his room was very clean and he was not beaten, but he was like a mouse that had fallen into a cat's nest, although the cat did not come back, the mouse was still afraid to death.

When he saw Xiao Feng, Lao Wang jumped up: "My lord, two adults, I have been wronged!" ”
