The general will eat grass

"Come in and answer, what's going on?" Feng Jingde turned around and ordered.

Brother An bent over to support his lame foot, and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. It seemed that he came back from a run. "General, the situation has changed. Someone died in the Huanyue Building. When Captain Yu came, they had just had a simple physical conflict. Now the footman is dead. The murderer is Guo Shilin, a son of the Guo family in Laizhou and the nephew of Mrs. Changle Hou. "

"Brother An, sit down and talk slowly." Zhao Yuansong sat up straight, pointed to the drum stool on the bed, "How could Guo Shilin be implicated in it?"

"Thank you, Mrs. Second Young Master." Brother An breathed calmly, walked over and sat by the bed, and then described in detail everything he had heard.

Mr. Jiang, together with the footman, gambled with a girl from Linglong Pavilion on a small game of pitching pots. While playing, the footman had other ideas, and wanted to make a night bet with the girl. After the girl refused, there was a conflict, and the girl followed Mr. Gui came forward and pushed the traveler. The traveler took Mr. Gui as a shop assistant in Huanyue Building and asked the shopkeeper for an argument.Mr. Jiang was having a good time with the traveling merchant. Seeing that the traveling merchant Shan Libo came forward to help, he wanted Huanyuelou to speak to him.

This is the cause of the event.Afterwards, someone who mentioned the identity of the owner of Huanyue Building knew that this gambling shop was opened by Zhao Yuansong, and Zhao Yuansong was a well-known dandy in the capital before, and had a bad reputation, but now he married into Dingguo's mansion. He has become a loyal and patriotic defender of the city.

Most of the people who came out to play were people from the aristocratic circle, and they had all heard the lace rumors about Changle Hou Mansion not being able to raise children, and now someone made fun of it.Hearing this, the traveler started to hold onto him, his words were presumptuous, and he said a few words about Changle Houfu, which angered Guo Shilin who had been playing in the past.This time, the traveling merchant had another quarrel with him, and then there was a big fight, Mr. Jiang's people fought, and in the chaos, Guo Shilin accidentally pushed him down the stairs and fell to his death on the spot.

"Although there is no evidence, the eldest son of the Jiang family did intend to plan here. He targeted Huanyuelou and the second young lady everywhere." Brother An said angrily: "And he quickly found the family of the traveling merchant. When they came back, the family members of the deceased shouted that Huanyuelou was a murderer and asked the murderer and Huanyuelou to give an explanation."

People died on the first day of opening, which is not good for the reputation of Huanyuelou and Zhao Yuansong. For businessmen, it is really unconscionable to use this method to harm people.If this matter is not handled well, Zhao Yuansong will never want to open a shop in Kyoto in the future.Zhao Yuansong wanted to go to see the scene in person, but was ordered by Feng Jingde to rest on the bed, "Lie down, I'll go."

Well, if the general goes out, one is worth two, at least it can scare people, right?

When something happened, someone took care of it, Zhao Yuansong was very happy in his heart, and he lay down obediently, saying that he would be obedient this time.

Feng Jingde rushed to the Huanyue Building, there was a huge crowd of people in front of the gate, the soldiers of Duke Dingguo's mansion and the people from Wucheng Bingma Division were maintaining order, and the supervisor Shi in the yamen under Wucheng Bingma Division was asking questions.

The melon-eaters stood on tiptoes and stretched their necks to look into the building. They whispered: "Today is the day when the store opens to send away the bad luck. I didn't expect that the bad luck in this store didn't go away, and someone died. Alas, this joy I'm afraid the building won't last long!"

"I heard that the people inside came from Wuyang. They offended the local aristocratic family, so they had to come out to beg for a living. Their son was worthless, so he finally made up his mind to get a job as a traveling merchant, but he died here."

"God, I'm sorry, it's hardest for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person."

"Let's go, let's go." Brother An helped Feng Jingde push the crowd away, and they entered the Huanyue Building together.

All the guests in the Huanyue Building were invited out, leaving only those who were involved when the incident happened. "General Feng came at just the right time." Mr. Jiang led his entourage and stood on the stairs, looking like he was watching the show, "I heard that this building is owned by your husband and wife, and someone died on the first day it opened."

As soon as his voice fell, he was hugging the two old men who were howling with the dead, and the voice of the old woman instantly increased by an octave, and the old man suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Feng Jingde, "You pay for my son...you pay for my son..." He His voice gradually became smaller under Feng Jingde's dark eyes.

"Presumptuous!" An Ge stepped forward in time to block him.

Jiang Zhenglong sneered: "General Feng is so majestic, everyone says that your Dingguo government is strict with yourself and never does anything to bully the people. Hehe, am I dazzled today?"

Feng Jingde was unmoved, and went to the supervision history to ask about the situation.In the previous life, Jiang Zhenglong was a man who wanted to die. He had good knowledge, but because a prime minister protected him too well, and a group of sycophants praised him too much, he was even more respectful than Feng Jingde in the previous life. Be too proud.

Seeing him ignoring him, Jiang Zhenglong gritted his teeth angrily, glanced at Guo Shilin, who was being supported by his servants and had already sobered up, and followed in a low voice: "Go, report the situation here to the Marquis of Changle, Oh, by the way, let's go to Ting Weiling's house by the way, he must be very happy to hear that Feng Jingde has something to do."

Feng Jingde learned about Guo Shilin's situation in detail. He drank a lot of wine here, and heard someone insulting Changle Hou Mansion and his cousin Zhao Lanzhi, so he couldn't help but fight with others.Supervisor Shi asserted: "This should be manslaughter."

Feng Jingde didn't care whether Guo Shilin really killed someone by mistake, he knew that there must be more mysteries hidden in this matter, but he is a military general and has always been straightforward. Only then do we come to think of countermeasures. "Master Xun, you can judge as you like."

After the supervisory history got the word, he felt relieved and he also had a care.The suspect was related to Changlehou's mansion, and Changlehou was the leader of their five-city soldiers and horses. The deceased was just a commoner, and the matter could be settled with some money.At that moment, he called the people from Wucheng Bingma Division to come over and carry away the corpse first, and then arrange a temporary residence for the family members of the deceased.

When the family members of the deceased heard that there was money to take, their eyes flashed.

"Hey, my lord, you just closed the case like this? It's too hasty!" Jiang Zhenglong stepped down the stairs and blocked the gate with his entourage, preventing them from going out. "You won't be promoted, and you won't be interrogated. My brother died too unjustly. You closed the case with just a few words, and the murderer was not arrested. Why do I think there is something inside?"

His followers echoed, "Yes, the stairs are only about ten feet high, and there is a slow platform in the middle of the stairs. I saw him protecting his head when he was pushed down. At most, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. Dead? My lord, why don't you look it up for such an obvious question?"

Xun Supervisor Shi: "I have had an inspection. His left foot was swollen. It was obvious that he sprained his back and fell downstairs. Guo Shilin was also at fault, but it was too chaotic at the time. During the pushing and shoving, he had no intention of pushing people downstairs. If someone is accidentally injured and dies, it is enough to pay some fines to the family members as compensation.”

Jiang Zhenglong sneered, glanced at Feng Jingde, and said: "My lord, in the capital, the emperor broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. You seem to be covering up."

Seeing that Mr. Jiang deliberately found fault, Brother An couldn't help but said, "What is Mr. Jiang's intention? Are you implying that the general intends to cover up?"

Jiang Zhenglong followed him personally and said: "Isn't it? As far as I know, that Mr. Guo has cousins ​​with the Changle Hou Mansion, and the owner of your store is also a young master from the Changle Hou Mansion. He just married into the Dingguo Mansion not long ago. Yes. You closed the case so hastily, don’t you want to cover it up?”

After he mentioned it, the melon-eating crowd who watched the excitement started talking about it.They didn't know that Zhao Yuansong was at odds with the Marquis of Changle, and seeing Feng Jingde's handling attitude just now, he didn't even say a word to comfort the family of the deceased, they inevitably began to feel suspicious.General Changying is everyone's god, how could he do such a thing, some people still have reservations.

Feng Jingde put on the posture of the upright, without arrogance or impetuosity, calmly stared at Jiang Zhenglong, found a chair and sat down, and did not try to defend himself.

Jiang Zhenglong misunderstood this look as a look of contempt, and he gritted his teeth with hatred.Feng Jingde and Jiang Zhenglong are the same age, and their respective fathers are one of the three fathers, so it is inevitable that someone will compare the two of them.Among Beixuan's top ten heroes, Feng Jingde is the first, Ouyang Zhuoyu is the second, Jiang Zhenglong has always been a writer, because he has not made any achievements yet, so he ranks second.He has always been very unconvinced, thinking that he is no worse than them, Feng Jingde is relying on the shadow of his father, and he is only lacking in gold plating on the battlefield.

Not long ago, their Jiang family planned a good show in order to obtain part of the military power of the Dingguo government.Only by mastering the armed forces of the army can we increase our influence in the court and pave a wider road for the future development of the third prince.However, after planning for so long, they finally fell short because of Zhao Yuansong's proposal.My father tried his best to conceal it, but His Majesty still cared about it.In the past few days, there have been many peddlers carrying burdens around his house, and those who celebrate the Chinese New Year can know their origins without guessing.

"Is it right for my boy?" Jiang Zhenglong raised his chin and continued provocatively: "That's right, General Changying is still General Changying. Even if he violates the military law, he can still keep his title. They are all military positions. The people who are here will still give you a little noodle, not to mention that Changle Hou Mansion is your Yue family. General Feng is still so difficult!" He looked at Xiaowei Yu meaningfully, and everyone immediately thought that he ran to Duke Dingguo It was reported by the government.

Yu Xiaowei was very embarrassed, deliberately avoided the crowd, and retreated to the group of colleagues of Wucheng Bingmasi.

Feng Jingde is not what he used to be, he will get angry when he is ridiculed a few times, he listens to the buzzing of the crowd like flies, he unhurriedly lifts up the hem of his clothes, straightens his back, spreads his legs, and stands in the big horse golden sword posture .He also asked the shop clerk to serve him a cup of tea, held the tea in one hand, and supported his knee with the other, his eyes like knives were drawn from the family of the deceased to Jiang Zhenglong's body behind him, making the relative tremble with fright.

Like an ancient well that is deep and without waves, with a chill in it, Feng Jingde seems to be able to see through everything.

Seeing that Feng Jingde was silent and staring at the person behind him, Jiang Zhenglong became anxious. "If you don't speak, it's a default!"
