70 CHAPTER 70 ENDS
The sun and the moon change, and in the blink of an eye, half a moon. On Jiang Ning's side, it was all up to Feng Zhiyu to pick it up.
She has gained a firm foothold in the Huang family, since Huang Ruixiang was sick in bed, she took over the finance of a house, purchased land in the name of Huang Ruixiang, and privately lent money to the outside world, so that the profits can be said to be thriving.
The internal affairs of the Huang family have long been her final say, and among the daughters-in-law, Mrs. Zheng trusts her the most. said that she was a heroine among women, and the women did not let her shave her eyebrows, if she knew that she was really so capable, she should have let her take care of the accounts earlier.
Huang Ruixiang was still working against her at first, for fear that she would take advantage of her illness and kill herself, but she didn't plan to do so, just went to the side house on time and on time three times a day to see him, and sometimes led Brother Long, but Huang Ruixiang's gray appearance often frightened his baby son.
Therefore, Brother Long did not treat him, but fortunately, Huang Ruixiang himself was not a good father, so he was not wronged.
Feng Zhiyu brought the medicine bowl to Huang Ruixiang, shook Brother Long's little arm in his arms, and greeted him, "I see that your complexion is much better, and the prescription given by the imperial doctor is still useful." ”
"Where's Yuelan?" Huang Ruixiang didn't look at her at all, "Why didn't she come to deliver medicine to me?" ”
"Yuelan is learning to take care of housework with me now, she is still busy at this time, if you want to see her, just wait for her to be free, she will naturally come over when she thinks of you."
"Feng Zhiyu!" Huang Ruixiang gritted his teeth with hatred, his eyes were about to split, he grabbed her wrist and spilled most of the medicinal juice, "I know, I know it's all your conspiracy!" You've been waiting for this day for a long time, you dove robber! All that you're getting right now is mine! ”
Feng Zhiyu indifferently withdrew his hand, and let the medicine bowl fall on his futon, wet, and Huang Ruixiang slapped the mattress frantically.
She laughed, "You? Just rely on you, wait for the old lady for a hundred years, a house and family business will be ruined in your hands, be content, you used to do it with me at every turn, and now you can still lie here and enjoy happiness, it is already my benevolence and righteousness. ”
“… You poisonous woman......"
Feng Zhiyu just slowly turned his eyes to him, the cold light was piercing, "When I married you, I also thought about living a stable life with you and taking care of the family business for you, but you are really too deceitful, and I happen to be not a person who swallows his anger." ”
"You... You ......"
Feng Zhiyu got up with Brother Long in his arms, and finally glanced at him, seeing that his face was red, panting, and pushing the door out.
Handed over Brother Long to the nurse, Feng Zhiyu took the prepared meal to Jiangning Yamen, she was so busy these days that her heel hit the back of her head, and the Huang family and Jiang family ran at both ends, and now she took the food box to the prison where the Feng family was imprisoned.
The prison is settled, Mrs. Dong and the ancestor are in one room, taking care of each other, and Aunt Bai is in the same room with Yi Ge'er, so there is no need to separate the mother and son.
Feng Zhiyu first took the food box to visit the old ancestor, and the decoctioned medicine was still hot, so it was just right to bring it out to her old man to drink at this time. The old lady hadn't gotten out of bed for a while, and the doctor also invited her to come to the prison to see it, saying that it was a depression in the heart, a heart disease, and only heart medicine could cure it.
The old lady's heart medicine, I am afraid that the Feng family will turn the crisis into safety and survive this catastrophe, but this is the most difficult, and now I am just holding a breath, and I want to see Feng Juncheng again.
Feng Zhiyu helped Mrs. Dong and helped the old man to get up, "Ancestor, you drink the medicine while it's hot, and only after drinking the medicine can you be in good health and wait for your father and Juncheng to come back." ”
“… Juncheng, Juncheng. "Ancestor
When she opened her cloudy eyes, she called her grandson's name sadly, and Mrs. Dong also cried at once, making the whole cell even more sad.
Feng Zhiyu hurriedly took out the letter he received this morning and comforted the old ancestor, "Look, this is a letter sent by Juncheng from Shuntian Mansion, he said that more than half of the case has been tried, and his father is not guilty of death, so he should ...... will be sentenced to exile. ”
This news is not bad, and it is impossible to say that it is good, and the ancestor burst into tears, "Exile... He is also an old man, exiled, can he stand it? ”
Mrs. Dong was just glad and hurriedly accepted the letter sent by her son, "Don't cry, old ancestor, it's a blessing not to kill your head." ”
The old ancestor opened his eyes and asked, "What about Juncheng?" Can you be implicated? ”
Feng Zhiyu said: "Please rest assured, he has rarely had contact with his family in the past five years, and he has always made trouble, the government knows his innocence and will not embarrass him." There is also the second half of the sentence, she won't say it, for fear of making the ancestor even more sad if she says it.
You must know that this case was found out by Feng Juncheng, how can anyone be involved in the case himself, and he also threw himself into the net to kill his relatives?
Feng Zhiyu's words made the old lady come to her senses, sat up, and drank the medicinal soup with her hand. Mrs. Dong fed the ancestor some light food, and when she put the person down again, she let out a long breath.
Feng Zhiyu took Mrs. Dong to the table and invited her to dinner. Mrs. Dong sat on the bench, was stunned for a moment, picked up the rice bowl, and stuffed the rice grains into her mouth.
Feng Zhiyu picked up the food box, "Madam, I'll go see my mother and Brother Yi'er." ”
"Go ahead, don't spend it on me." Mrs. Dong looked stunned, and her voice was difficult, "I am relieved to know that Juncheng is fine." It's been a big dream this month, don't wake up......"
"No, ma'am, don't worry, and me."
"You..." Mrs. Dong slowly moved her eyes to Feng Zhiyu's face, seeing that she was radiant now, although she came to visit the prison and deliberately dressed lightly, she could still see from her face that she was pampered in the Huang family.
Mrs. Dong wiped her tears, "Okay, and you, it's not in vain that I treat you as my own daughter." Zhiyu, you're coming to see me. ”
Feng Zhiyu followed the officials to the prison where Aunt Bai and Yi Ge'er were held, the place was cramped, but it was also arranged, Yi Ge'er saw her sister coming, and hurriedly reached out, Feng Zhiyu felt sour, pushed the door in, and put the food out with his own hands.
"Mother, Brother Yi, it's time to eat."
Aunt Bai told her more than once that she didn't come to visit, and she didn't listen to what she said, so she was happy and annoyed, silent, sat down at the table, and fed Brother Yi'er first.
"Mother, I'll feed you, you eat."
"I'll feed you."
"Mother, don't you want to see me?"
Aunt Bai sighed lightly, "You are enough to toss on weekdays, you have personally sent us three meals this month, where to spend a day, the food in this prison is not so bad, at most it is lighter, and it just so happens that I don't like to eat greasy." ”
Feng Zhiyu touched Brother Yi'er's head, "I'm not tired, I'm not coming to see you, I'm worried." ”
Aunt Bai shook her head, "You always run into this prison, and I have to worry about you." ”
Feng Zhiyu tore away his head and said with a smile: "Mother, I have good news to tell you, Juncheng sent a letter back, saying that his father's crime would not lead to death, and he might be sent into exile, although it was miserable, his life was saved." ”
Aunt Bai was taken aback, "Exile? There are years of age
No? ”
"Yes,
There should be. Dad voted for it himself,
He committed the crime of corruption of self-theft, not smuggling, and he helped the government convict the Qin family, Juncheng said that the sentence was not long, so we should not worry too much. ”
Seeing that Aunt Bai was silent for a long time, Feng Zhiyu whispered to her: "Mother, you eat first, and then you will talk after eating." ”
But Aunt Bai suddenly asked, "Zhiyu, if your father is exiled, won't our family be able to escape?" ”
Feng Zhiyu hurriedly said: "That's not necessarily, we still have to wait for the government to make a judgment, Juncheng and I will find a way." I think it's better to think about sending Yige'er out first, and I will discuss this matter with my ancestors. ”
"You take your brother out, and as for me, leave it alone."
Feng Zhiyu was shocked, "How can you ignore it?" ”
Aunt Bai just picked up the bowl and took a bite of food, and said to her lightly: "If I don't go with your father, who will take care of him?" He couldn't get through that kind of hard life. ”
Feng Zhiyu knelt down abruptly, "Mother..."
Time flies by on the letterhead, and the tea tax case is decided.
This case really did not continue to be investigated, and only more than a dozen officials involved in the case were found to be in an uproar, and the highest grade was only the fourth grade. The mastermind was immediately decided, and the rest of the accomplices and accomplices were all sentenced and exiled by the Criminal Department, at least four or five years, and at most there was no return date.
Master Feng was sentenced to seven years in prison, and handed over to the Yingtianfu Yamen to send people to Chaozhou, and soon went south.
Chaozhou is not that place of suffering, most of the people who can delegate to Guangdong are court officials, and there are few who are extremely poor and vicious, it seems that the Criminal Department is going to give the Feng family a light sentence.
Jiangning Feng Mansion will also be seized as scheduled, but the old and young in the mansion were spared, and they did not have to go south with the prisoners, so they were able to return to the old mansion in Qiantang, and there was no danger.
Upon learning of this, Feng Junwei wanted to have a simple banquet for Zeng Tingguang and Wu Honglu at home to thank him for his maneuvering.
Wu Honglu politely refused him, and told him that he had never fought for the Feng family, and he only echoed Zeng Shilang a few words in the early court.
"He really cherishes you, I just think that you are different from the eunuchs I have seen, and my fierce son and brother have seen too much. It's the first time I've seen you like this. ”
Feng Juncheng was speechless for a while, obviously a compliment, and there was nothing to be happy about, so he had to say: "Maybe it's Lord Wu that you always handle the case, so the people you see are all guilty people." ”
"By the way, Lord Wu, I don't know how the Metropolitan Procuratorate is going to convict me?"
Wu Honglu laughed, the little old man raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "Wait, the news should come soon." ”
Feng Juncheng was puzzled for a moment, but he had to watch Wu Honglu go away. When he returned home in the evening, the light snow lingered, the sky was gray and blue, and he saw Qing'e standing at the door of the house in emerald green, and her cheeks let the north wind blow red, which was the only spring color in this snowy winter.
General Hua was the first to chase him out, circling around him, jumping and jumping.
 
; "Daddy-" Ru Ru also followed out of the porter, wearing a big flower jacket, and ran towards him, the broken hair on her forehead let the wind blow away, revealing a round head.
Feng Juncheng squatted down and kissed her soft face, encircled her into the big box, took her by the hand, and returned home together.
Qing'e dusted the snow on his shoulders for him, "A few days will be the birthdays of you and Ruru, you two birthdays are close, and she is so young, let's simply spend it together." ”
coincided with what happened to Jiang Ning's family
It's difficult, Master Feng is about to be exiled to the south, even if there is a big happy event, it is not easy to do it in a big way. It's just that she can't bear to let the child's expectations be disappointed, and she has never had a decent birthday.
Of course, Feng Juncheng agreed, but it happened that the Criminal Department released the news a few days later, and the day of Ruru's birthday was the day when Master Feng was released.
On that day, the wind and snow were blowing, and the prisoner car swayed out of the criminal department, and Master Feng was thinly dressed, standing in the cage with the wind on all sides with his eyes closed.
The cold wind sent a girl's crisp cry, "Grandpa! ”
Master Feng turned his head and saw a family of three standing at the corner of the street. Ruru didn't know what was going on, and when she saw Master Feng being locked in the prison car, she was so sad, she folded her two little hands together to worship the servants, and begged them to let her grandfather go.
Feng Juncheng gave the officials two taels of silver and asked them to treat Master Feng well on the road, Qing'e stuffed a bulging baggage into the prisoner car, "Master, these are a few winter clothes, you remember to wear them." ”
Old Man Feng frowned and looked at the woman who was almost "sold" to the Qin family by himself, and in the end, he just didn't say a word, Feng Juncheng opened the food box he brought with him and brought out a bowl of swollen noodles.
Ru Ru carefully served the bowl of noodles and handed it to the prisoner car, "Grandpa eats noodles." ”
Feng Juncheng inevitably had a sour nose and red eyes, "Today is Ruru's birthday, let's celebrate Ruru's birthday before going on the road." ”
Old Man Feng burst into tears for a moment, picked up the noodle bowl, and ate it all, even so, he just said, "Go back." ”
After all, the father and son did not cry and make a fuss about reconciliation, maybe that day would come, but it was the reunion after the separation.
The prisoner car slowly drove out of sight, Ru Ru raised her head and asked Qing'e, "Has grandpa returned to Jiangning?" Why not take a good carriage ride? ”
Qing'e didn't know how to answer, looked at Feng Juncheng, and thought for a while, "Ruru has to remember grandpa, and when he comes back in six or seven years, you can recognize him, right?" ”
Ru Ru nodded, "Ru Ru is smart and can recognize it." She packed up the food box on the ground and lifted it up with a hum, "Let's go home and wait for grandpa." ”
"Let's go, let's go back and eat noodles too." Qing'e took Feng Juncheng's arm and looked in the direction of the prisoner cart with him, "Your father has eaten more rice than you have ever eaten salt, maybe he is still worried about your situation." Well? Let's go, it's a big deal to go to Chaozhou to see him, and we said that we want to wander the world. ”
Feng Juncheng looked at the small pear vortex chattering on her lips, and finally burst into a smile, "Wandering the world? The more you talk about it, the more boundless it becomes. ”
This side has made up their minds, no matter how the government punishes, they still ask for resignation and go to live that pure life without the interference of the world, but they don't know that the variables have already come, not only suddenly, but also with great momentum, just raising bells and drums.
When the three of them returned home, they were all shocked by the sight, Ru Ru looked at a big sedan chair at the door of the house, and the two columns of palace people on the street, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to step forward.
"Qing'e..."Ru Ru kept stretching out her hand to hug her, but Qing'e was also frightened, when had she ever seen such a battle?
Those brightly dressed white-faced men are obviously eunuchs from the palace, the leader is wearing a python robe and a three-mountain hat, just like the head of the celebrant and the big eunuch next to the long live lord.
Feng Juncheng and the great eunuch had met with each other, and when Banzai appointed him to patrol Zhejiang, it was the celebrant who issued the decree.
"I've seen Chen's palm print."
No matter how hesitant Feng Juncheng is, he has to come forward to salute, he
I knew that after the case was concluded, the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate would jointly report the case to His Majesty, so Long Live Lord must have known.
As a hand-picked governor, he returned to Beijing on a business trip but lost the official, and it is difficult to say what the purpose of the celebrant was this time.
That Chen Zhangyin smiled like a flower, and his voice was narrow, "I haven't seen you for a long time, Lord Xiao Feng's daughters are all so old." ”
This is how Feng Juncheng answered, he had to smile slightly, and Chen Zhangyin smiled again: "Lord Xiao Feng, but you went to see Ling Zun off?" ”
Feng Juncheng said yes, "Chen Zhangyin is here for the tea tax case?" But His Majesty wants to read the details of the Qiantang case? ”
"I don't know anything about this, Lord Xiao Feng still goes with me, early in the morning, Zeng Shilang went to Wenhua Hall to ask for a meeting, and at this moment he accompanied His Majesty in Wenyuan Pavilion, speaking of you, he called me to invite."
Feng Juncheng heard the thunder in his heart, and looked back to see Qing'e holding Ruru standing in the snow, also looking dazed. He raised his hand and waved at her, signaling her to go back to the house first, and then followed the soft sedan chair of Chen Zhangyin, glanced back at her, and walked in the direction of the Forbidden City.
Qing'e almost left Ru Ru and chased straight up, looking back and seeing Ru Ru sitting in the snow and crying, she hurriedly pulled the child up and chased after the messy and wet footprints in the snow.
She saw Feng Juncheng follow the sedan chair and hide into the Donghua Gate of the Forbidden City, where there were guards guarded by the Praetorian Guards, and no one could get close to the Zhuzi River, so she had to lead Ruru to look at it on the street.
The vermilion city wall was towering, and there was only snow curtains and red walls in her field of vision, and she couldn't see Feng Juncheng's figure.
Inside the palace wall, Feng Juncheng followed Chen Zhangyin through the Yongdao and came to the Wenyuan Pavilion behind the Wenhua Palace. On the deep corridor, the palace people lowered their heads, like lifeless puppets, walking in the snow, and they were also silent.
The door of Wenyuan Pavilion opened in response, and Feng Juncheng stepped into the hall, and the light outside the hall was only enough to illuminate the corner of the gray bricks in front of the door.
Feng Juncheng stood in that corner of the light, kneeling on the ground and bowing, he never raised his head, he was just a grass man now, how could he witness the face of the true dragon emperor.
In the dim and glorious hall, the elderly emperor put down the wolf pen in his hand and opened his mouth, "When I sent you south to inspect Zhejiang, I had Zeng Tingguang's sponsorship. I read your recital, and thought that you had found the answer, and that you would be promoted to the next level, and I didn't want to hear from you again, and that you were already suspended from work at home, and that you had become a criminal. ”
Feng Juncheng bowed down, "Wei Chen is ashamed of His Majesty's Longen." ”
"You know you're ashamed, why did you resign? I want to leave and stop working for me. ”
Feng Juncheng was stunned, "Weichen has no such intention. ”
The emperor snorted, "Well, I told you that the punishment of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Officials was to transfer you to the Shuntian Mansion, but Wu Honglu didn't want you, he recommended you to go to Zhejiang Mansion to serve as the prefect of Hangzhou to make up for Qin Peiyi's vacancy." ”
Feng Juncheng only felt his heart tighten, "Weichen knows that his ability is limited, and he may not be able to do it." ”
The emperor was still unhurried, "I am also afraid that you will not be competent, so I specially summoned Zeng Tingguang, only then did I know that your suspension was for a woman, can you tell me what kind of woman it is, so that you are willing to give up the position of the six departments, Zeng Tingguang interceded for you, saying that her life was miserable, and you had a good heart, so you can't give her up." ”
"Perhaps... She is at most an ordinary person with bad luck, and she is just an ordinary woman, and she has an ordinary relationship with Weichen. ”
"Oh? I've heard of it
Her origin, how can you deceive the king, the Tao is ordinary? ”
When Feng Juncheng said this, he was no longer worried about the emperor's intention to summon him this time, and bowed his head and said: "There are very few people in this world who are born without worrying about food and clothing like Wei Chen, and in her eyes, Wei Chen is the unusual and unacceptable anomaly. She deceived me of my money because powerful people bullied her first, Weichen was surprised by the estrangement between people, and it was only later that she went to Qiantang and saw the Qin family's style of acting, so she had the answer. ”
Zeng Tingguang, who had been silent for a long time, had been listening quietly outside the door, smiled at Chen Zhangyin, and Chen Zhangyin arched his hand with him, undoubtedly praising his insight.
"Feng Juncheng, I thought to myself, it's really a mistake for you to enter the sixth part so early."
Zeng Tingguang's expression changed greatly, and he hurriedly pricked up his ears. The emperor said: "You are a good official and a clean official, you should be an official for the people, you must not be an official in the six ministries, I have made up my mind, I appointed you as the prefect of Hangzhou, and you came back from there, it is very suitable, if you want to shirk it again, I will give you a capital crime of killing your head!" ”
The light snow outside the Forbidden City gradually faded, Qing'e hugged Ru Ru tightly, snorted vigorously, her ears were a little stiff with cold, and she breathed into Ruru's neck socket from time to time, and the little girl in her arms sneezed and she couldn't move a step at all.
"Qing'e, I'm cold..."
Qing'e stomped her feet and said, "Wait a minute, your father saw the emperor go, and I was worried about him, so you will accompany me to wait for him in this wind." ”
Ru Ru was angry when she spoke, "... Who is the Emperor? ”
"The Emperor is... is the biggest lord in the world, in charge of everyone in the world. ”
"Is the Emperor a Dragon Maiden?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Qing'e hurriedly went to cover Ruru's small mouth, and turned her face to hide.
Twisting his face, he saw Feng Juncheng wearing a sable gray coat, and walked out of the Donghua Gate. Ru Ru called him out crisply, and Feng Juncheng also smiled and waved to her. He walked over, his clothes flying, his steps getting faster and faster, and the smile on his face getting deeper and deeper.
Qing'e was so cold that the tip of her nose was red, and her eyes were completely red at this moment, she ran towards him quickly regardless of holding Ruru, tears dripping on the thin snow, and instantly melting an inch of frozen land.
She left everything behind, and couldn't see that there was a sprout hidden beneath the ground, waiting for spring to come.
Seeing this, the Praetorian Guards outside the Donghua Gate surrounded and wanted to drive the three of them, but at this moment they were still hugging each other, under the gray blue sky, the withered branches stretched out to the sky savagely, and the temperature under the gray clothes of the mink rats was intertwined, which was the closest place to spring in this cold winter.
Qing'e thought to herself, no matter the outcome, she was ready to follow him to the ends of the earth!
