"Hey, you bunch of unconscionable things! Think about how I, Feng Bao, did to you before. ”

Feng Baozheng, who had just received twenty lashes from the forbidden army, was lying on the bed, cursing incessantly, there was a wooden basin next to the bed, and the hot water in it had already been stained red with blood, no one in the house or outside the house.

According to common sense, ordinary people would have died long ago after being beaten by the twenty whips of the forbidden army, but Feng Bao's stepfather was Lu Fang, the eunuch who was in charge of the seal, and the soldiers who started did not dare to do it too much, so they secretly kept their hands, otherwise, they would be half-crippled if they didn't die.

"Grandpa Feng? Grandpa Feng? ”

Just as Feng Bao kept shouting and scolding, a tiptoeing little eunuch looked around and dared to show his face only when he saw that there was no one around.

"It's Xiao Lizi, what, you also came to see my jokes?"

Feng Bao said, sneering, his face full of contempt.

"No... No, I'm here to give my father-in-law medicine, and I was drinking with an apprentice from the Tai Hospital, and he gave it to me as soon as he was happy. ”

The eunuch, who was called Xiao Li Zi by Feng Bao, hurriedly explained, and did not forget to take out a small white porcelain bottle from his arms.

"This is gold sore medicine, which specializes in treating whipping with sticks, come to Gonggong Feng, I will give you medicine, bear with it."

The powder of the gold sore medicine was sprinkled on the wound, and a hot feeling came, Feng Baozhi gritted his teeth and didn't let himself make a sound, and after a while, the hot feeling gradually subsided, and a cool feeling came from the wound.

When the pain from the wound had almost subsided, Feng Bao reluctantly turned his head and looked the thin little plum up and down.

Being looked at by Feng Bao's eyes, Xiao Lizi lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him.

"Think about how majestic I Feng Bao was at the beginning, you are called Xiao Lizi, good, very good! Come here. ”

Xiao Lizi hesitated for a moment, walked quickly to Feng Bao's bed, and leaned down.

"Although I am not powerful now, it is still no problem to protect you as a little eunuch, I wonder if you would like to recognize me as your father-in-law?"

"Father-in-law Feng, Xiao Lizi is willing!"

Almost without hesitation, Xiao Lizi nodded again and again like pounding garlic.

"Is it still called my father-in-law?"

"Dry... Godfather! ”

……

The capital, in the Yan Mansion.

Yan Song ended his duty in the cabinet, and as soon as he got home, he went straight to the study.

"Father, the child has something important to discuss!" On the way to the study, Yan Song was stopped by his son Yan Shifan.

"Let's go, go to the study."

The father and son entered the study, but they did not close the door, the charcoal fire in the house was booming, and a warmth hit him, dispelling a lot of the chill on Yan Song's body.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Yan Song stretched out his hand to the stove and roasted it firmly.

"Qingliu sent Tan Lun to Zhejiang." Yan Shifan lowered his voice and spoke.

"Oh? The war is raging in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, what is Qingliu sending Tan Lun to do? Blocked Hu Ruzhen? ”

"Yes, Hu Ruzhen is your student after all, and the child is afraid..."

Before Yan Shifan could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Yan Song angrily.

"Hmph, the overall situation of the southeast can't be messed up, even if Qingliu wants to fight, he shouldn't dare to make a fuss about this matter, and when the time comes, he will anger the emperor, and everyone will not be able to eat and go around!"

"Father, there will be a pre-imperial meeting in a few days, and there are still many errors and omissions in the account books of the Ministry of Officials."

"It's okay, I've already drafted a vote with Xu Ge Lao and them in the cabinet before this, as long as the celebrant is not embarrassed, he should be able to pass, besides, their butts are not waiting for us to help wipe it."

Yan Song was roasting on the fire, and the temperature in the room made him a little drowsy, and he didn't care about his image, so he lay down directly on the Hu bed.

Yan Shifan saw that his father was already a little sleepy, so he planned to leave, but as soon as he walked to the door, he was stopped by Yan Song: "How is the investigation in Zhejiang?" ”

"Back to my father, according to the officials sent out by the child earlier, if the plan goes smoothly, Zhejiang and Zhejiang will pay at least eight million more taxes for the imperial court."

"True?"

"The child has been checked many times, and it is true!"

"Okay, then the next royal meeting, I'll try to mention it in front of the emperor."

Yan Song's mouth was dry, so he got up and picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup.

"The boy is gone."

After Yan Shifan finished speaking, he bowed and left.

"Also, take care of the officials under you, Zheng Michang, He Maocai! Hmph, the reports are coming to me. ”

Yan Song's voice sounded behind him, Yan Shifan's face was gloomy, Zheng Michang, He Maocai, one was the political envoy of Zhejiang, and the other was the envoy of Zhejiang, all of whom were promoted by themselves.

"By the way, close the door."

"Yes, father."

……

In the middle of the night, the eunuch Lu Fang, who was in charge of the seal, separated the surrounding eunuchs and came to Feng Bao's current residence alone.

Feng Bao was lying on his stomach, and when he was half asleep, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a black shadow standing next to his bed, and when he was about to shout for help, he was covered by the black shadow.

"Shut up and be quiet!"

The shadow covered her mouth as she tried to keep her voice as low as possible.

"Godfather! I knew you didn't give up on me. ”

And Feng Bao also heard the voice of the black shadow, and looked happy, this is his father-in-law, the most powerful person in the Ming Dynasty except for the emperor.

"Father, you have to be my master! When these white-eyed wolves saw that I was losing power, they all avoided me like a plague god. Feng Bao said that he was excited, and he wanted to turn over, but who knew that the action was too big and affected the wound, and he grinned in pain.

"You're lucky this time!" Lu Fang looked at the wounds on Feng Bao's body, and there was a smile on his face that couldn't be hidden.

"Luck?" Feng Bao's eyes were full of confusion when he looked at Lu Fang.

"Today, you have left your name on the emperor's side, do you still need me to talk about it in the future?"

"But didn't the emperor just let the forbidden army beat me with twenty lashes?" After listening to Lu Fang's explanation, Feng Bao was still puzzled.

"You kid, how can you be so stupid..."Lu Fang shook his head, and then patiently explained.

"At that time, Xu Ge Lao said so, if you don't find someone to come out to confess the crime, you can't turn the page, and the emperor also needs to give an explanation to Xu Ge Lao, if the emperor doesn't ask someone to beat you with these twenty whips, but hands you over to those Qingliu to punish the crime, what should I do?"

Thinking of the possible outcome of being arrested by Qingliu to punish the crime, Feng Bao couldn't help but shudder.

"So, the emperor is protecting you! These twenty whips are worth it! ”

Seeing that Feng Bao had understood his words, Lu Fang looked out the window with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "In the future, I don't know if my father still has a place to rely on you!" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, I must serve my father-in-law well!" Feng Bao heard Lu Fang's words and hurriedly comforted him.

"I'm happy today, so I'll send you a few more words, you have to listen to it!" Lu Fang said, her eyes gradually becoming deeper.

"Those who are officials often say that you have to think twice about being an official, what are these three thoughts? It's nothing more than thinking about danger, thinking about retreat, thinking about change! ”

"Think of danger, think of retreat, think of change." Feng Bao muttered Lu Fang's words in a low voice, and then fell into deep thought.

"If you know the danger, you can avoid the danger, this is called thinking about danger, hiding in a place where everyone doesn't pay attention to you, this is called thinking back, you will have a chance to retreat, and then look slowly, slowly think about what you did wrong before, what to do in the future, this is called thinking change."

"Father-in-law, the child understands!"

After breaking through the depression in his heart, Feng Bao only felt that his thoughts were clear, his body and mind were happy, and even the wound on his back was not so painful.
