Fengluo Pingyang

Three days later, the case was closed.The Pingguo government was convicted of collaborating with pirates for profit, but there is still no evidence for the crime of collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country.Hundreds of officials in the DPRK spoke out for justice, and most of them demanded that the investigation be continued, and they would not tolerate it when the truth came to light.

The emperor cared about the old minister, thinking that the old man Fang had worked hard all his life and was sincerely loyal to the emperor. He couldn't bear to see him become homeless and destitute when he was old. Several ministers of the Imperial Academy jointly made a statement. , the emperor ignored it completely and closed the case.

The Duke of Pingguo's mansion was deprived of its title and demoted to common people. The real estate gold and silver in the mansion were confiscated and stored in the warehouse, and all the servants sold them.Within half a month, the prosperity of the Nuo Da mansion faded away, the plaque was removed and the yellow strips sealed the door, leaving only a desolate and desolate place.

Jiajun Palace, a luxuriously decorated carriage parked outside the west gate of the palace.The steward of the palace was notified, and hurriedly brought people out to greet him, and invited the people in the carriage into the mansion.

"Your Majesty is a distinguished guest of the palace, you should have been greeted at the door, but this time you have wronged you." The steward bowed his head respectfully.

The man walked in slowly and waved his hands casually.

"Don't mind these vain gifts, take me to see the prince."

"My son, please, the prince is already waiting in the study."

The steward will bring the person to the study of the palace. King Jiajun put down the pen in his hand, looked up at the person, smiled, pointed to the chair and said, "My lord, please sit down."

The man lifted his robe and sat down, looked at the unfinished picture of winter plums that King Jiajun put on the table with clear eyes, and said with a smile: "My lord is Yaxing. It seems that after the trial of the case of the Duke of Ping, I have finally unloaded a piece of paper. A heavy burden."

King Jiajun continued to draw on the picture with his brush, and said: "It's not a big deal, this king has finally lived up to His Majesty's entrustment."

The visitor raised the corners of his lips, pondered for a moment and said, "It's just that I didn't investigate the case thoroughly and gave up halfway. It's always a pity."

"The Heavenly family is kind, and they don't want to go to the depths of the trial." King Jiajun said, "This king naturally puts the will of the sage first. This king knows that the Marquis of Guang'an is dedicated to sharing the worries of the king, but this matter should not be caught again. Let go." After speaking, he raised his head and looked at the person opposite, with a glint in his eyes, "Could it be that Master Xu has—other clues?"

Xu Ruxin shook his head, and said with a faint smile: "Father is far away in the northern border guarding the territory of our Dahua Dynasty. He has no intentions but is powerless about the affairs of Beijing and China. It's just that such a scandal happened in the honorable family, and he is a family friend of the Xu family. His old man is also shameless. If he committed such a crime, he should investigate it to the end and never condone it. I hate the few adults in the Imperial Academy, who eat the king's salary, but not only do not share the king's worries, but also for the king. It is really hateful for the rebellious officials and thieves to ask for favor."

King Jiajun lowered his head again, looked at his painting carefully, and said for a while, "I know. The Master Lin of the Hanlin Academy has never been in contact with nobles, but this time he will take the lead to get rid of Fangfu Sin, presumably there is some shady activity. This king will pay attention to it, and report it to the heavenly family when the time is right."

Xu Ruxin nodded with a smile: "That's exactly the truth."

Outside the prison in Shuntian Mansion.

Fang Yuesheng and Fang Yueqi supported Fang Mingyan and slowly walked out of the prison. The bright sunlight above their heads cast pain in their eyes.I have been held in the prison all these times without seeing the sun, but now I seem to be afraid of the light that shines so that no one can hide.

There was a simple carriage parked on the road outside the prison, and the coachman hurriedly greeted several people coming out of the prison.

"Eldest son, young master, second master, you are finally out. Get in the car, my wife asked me to pick you up."

Fang Yuesheng sized him up a few times, only to feel that he was very unfamiliar, and couldn't help feeling a little vigilant.After those framing, he is almost as frightened now, how can he trust these strangers.

The coachman hurriedly said: "The young one was sent by Mr. Lin Xuanying to serve the old lady and his wife. The young master must have never seen me before. The lady gave me a token." He took out a pair of cards from his pocket as he spoke. Come on, that's the pair of cards used by Mrs. Fang when she was in charge of the government of Pingguo. The servants run errands, go in and out of the mansion, and withdraw money. They all use this small pair of cards. Now it is of course useless.

Fang Yueqi glanced at it and nodded: "This is Madam's. Thank you, uncle."

As he spoke, he helped Fang Mingyan into the car, and went to pull Fang Yuesheng.The two brothers got into the cart together, the coachman lowered the curtain, and then drove the mules pulling the cart slowly away from the desolate and solemn prison of Shuntian Mansion.

The car drove through the flat street along the way, passed the sealed-off gate of Pingguo Duke's Mansion, turned into an alley, and walked all the way with seven turns before stopping in front of a small courtyard.

Mrs. Fang has already helped Mrs. Fang to wait in front of the courtyard, accompanied by a young woman who looks like a daughter-in-law.The coachman got off his horse and walked to the daughter-in-law, who seemed to be a couple.

Lin Xuanying sent a couple to take care of Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Fang. The daughter-in-law can take care of the female relatives, and the coachman can take care of outside affairs. Fang Yuesheng couldn't help feeling grateful for the care.

As soon as Mrs. Fang saw Fang Yuesheng, she rushed over and hugged her tightly, her tears choked up and said: "My son, why did you suffer so much? Let mother see if it hurts."

Fang Yuesheng hurriedly said: "Mother, don't worry, I'm fine, I was just locked up for a few days, and I didn't receive any harsh treatment."

The old lady Fang was supported by the daughter-in-law, walked forward slowly, and sighed: "Okay, don't cry, as long as you are fine. But I don't know how Mingcheng is doing now?"

The coachman hurriedly said: "I'll send the two young masters back, and I'm going to pick up the master right away. Madam, please rest assured, Mr. Lin has already taken care of it, and the master will definitely come back to reunite with you tonight."

Old lady Fang nodded, and said kindly, "Thank you for your hard work."

The coachman waved his hands again and again: "How can I be thanked by the old lady, just don't think the old lady thinks we are stupid."

Mrs. Fang wiped her tears, looked at Fang Yuesheng, pulled Fang Yueqi away, sighed and said: "Adversity reveals people's hearts. In the past, all the flowers and rhetoric are empty, nothing is more precious than a sincere heart. You guys This friend, you should thank him very much."

Fang Yuesheng said: "That's natural. After suffering this time, but seeing a few people clearly, I didn't make this trip to the prison in vain." Fang Yueqi just nodded awkwardly.

The coachman had already left with the carriage, and Mrs. Fang called everyone to enter the yard.There is only one entrance to this courtyard. There are three main rooms, the one to the east is the kitchen, and the east and west wing rooms each have two rooms. Although they are a bit small, they are also very suitable places to stay.

When Fang Yuesheng and others entered the main room, his two younger brothers and three younger sisters surrounded him and greeted him.

Mrs. Fang said: "Their aunt has already entrusted someone to buy it. Now that the Hou's mansion is in trouble, I will not stop anyone who wants to leave. You brothers and sisters are destined to be together, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to get together in the future." to cry.

Several concubines surrounded her and comforted her softly.The coachman's daughter-in-law took Fang Yuesheng and Fang Yueqi into a room on the west side, where hot water had been prepared, and asked them to wash up first.

Fang Yuesheng couldn't wait to take off his clothes, and washed the saponins from head to toe several times before soaking them comfortably in the bucket.

Fang Yueqi also washed up and sat in another bathtub, looked at him with a cold look on his face, and said helplessly: "You look like this, Hou Ye will be angry again when he sees it. Why are you so unmotivated? The dignified son is reduced to At this point, are you satisfied with a hot bath?"

"Otherwise, what should we do now." Fang Yuesheng opened his eyes, and leaned on the edge of the bucket to look at Fang Yueqi.

Fang Yueqi was angry: "Aren't you angry? We have been framed this way, and now we are demoted to common people, but the people behind the scenes are still at large, and they live in high positions and rich clothes. Are you not unwilling at all?!"

"Of course not reconciled." Fang Yuesheng frowned, and a bit of resentment flashed in his eyes.

"Then what are you going to do?!" Fang Yueqi splashed water on him.

Fang Yuesheng wiped the water off his face, his face was flushed red by the hot water: "Well—let's take this bath first."

"You're going to piss me off! Unmotivated!" Fang Yueqi was so angry that he slapped the water repeatedly.

Fang Yuesheng glanced at him: "Then what are you going to do?"

"..." Fang Yueqi held back for a long time, and finally sighed without confidence, "Take this bath first..."

"One more meal." Fang Yuesheng's eyes sparkled.

Fang Yueqi looked at him like this, and the gloomy air accumulated in his heart seemed to dissipate a little.

Yes, to take revenge, to rise up, always start from the first step.Their enemies hide so deep that even the emperor can be fooled, even if they want to find out the mastermind behind the scenes to restore the innocence of Hou Fu, it will not be a matter of one day.

You can't treat it with a normal heart, I'm afraid the hatred in your heart will drown yourself sooner or later.

The two of them took a shower and changed into clean clothes. After they came out of the room, the food was already set on the table in the main room.The four dishes and one soup are all ordinary dishes, and even the servants of the Hou's mansion used to eat more delicate dishes than these, but in the eyes of the two of them at the moment, it is absolutely delicious.

After eating a full portion of vegetables and rice, the faces of the two finally regained some of their spirits, and they were no longer so pale and haggard.

In the evening, the coachman's car finally stopped outside the courtyard again.Fang Yuesheng and Fang Yueqi ran out in a hurry, but they saw that Lin Xuanying lifted the curtain of the car and came down first, then turned around and lifted the curtain of the car, and helped Lord Fang Hou get out of the car slowly with one hand.

Master Fang looked much more embarrassed than them. Although there was no sign of being tortured, he was listless, his eyes were dull, and he didn't know what torture he had suffered.

Seeing Fang Yuesheng and Fang Yueqi surrounded by worried, Lin Xuanying hurriedly said: "Master Fang has not closed his eyes for two days and two nights. There are no other serious problems. You don't have to worry. Let Master Fang eat something and go to sleep first." Let’s wait until tomorrow to talk about anything.”

The coachman helped Master Fang Hou into the courtyard, Lin Xuanying stood outside, looking at Fang Yueqi and Fang Yuesheng.

The two were wearing ordinary coarse cloth clothes, and their hair was simply pulled up with strips of cloth. Without the complicated clothes in the past, they showed more handsome facial features and a straight figure.

Lin Xuanying looked at these two pampered young masters. Having encountered such a hardship for the first time, they almost fell from the clouds to the bottom of the mud. Apart from a little haggard complexion, their eyes were still clear, and there was no trace of impatience, resentment or injustice.

If you want to revive the Marquis Mansion, you cannot be blinded by hatred, but such capacity is essential.

Lin Xuanying nodded, but Fang Yueqi and Fang Yuesheng were sized up by him inexplicably.

"Come in and sit in the yard." Fang Yuesheng said.

Lin Xuanying shook her head: "It's getting late, so I don't want to bother." After speaking, she looked around and saw that there was only one mule cart here, but he didn't ride a horse or bring anyone with him.

Fang Yueqi said angrily, "Do you want to come in?"

"Alright then." Lin Xuanying said immediately, "I'm sorry for the trouble." After speaking, she lifted her foot and walked in.
