Fengluo Pingyang

Chapter 69 Prelude

From that day on, Xu Ruxin's letters to Fang Yuesheng continued.

According to Ling Ji's temper, it's better to throw all the things that Xu Ruxin sent back to his face.But Fang Yuesheng was very curious, and he always wanted to see what was said in the posts that others wrote to him.Lingji threw it once, and although Fang Yuesheng didn't say anything, Lingji's heart softened when he looked at him eagerly.

Fortunately, Fang Yuesheng just looked at it, and after satisfying his curiosity, he put it aside, and had no intention of responding at all.

What Xu Ruxin wrote was nothing more than trivial matters. Fang Yuesheng lost his patience after reading it for a few days, and Ling Hou, who had been silently paying attention to this matter, felt a little relieved.

Several months passed, and Lin Xuanying, who had been searching for old cases in the yamen of the Ministry of Industry, finally found some clues. This time, she finally grasped a piece of the clothes of the person behind the scenes.

Lin Xuanying came to look for Ling Ji with the dossier in her arms, and excitedly put the things she found out in front of him.

Ling Ji glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Master Lin is really inferior in the yamen of the Ministry of Industry, he should go to Dali Temple to show his skills."

"Do you think I want to waste my mind on these mundane affairs?" Lin Xuanying twitched her lips, "The majesty of the old man in the house cannot be disobeyed."

The Lin family is a family of hairpin tassels for generations, and Lin's father is a first-rank official in the dynasty. The discipline of the children in the family is very strict. It is only because of Lin Xuanying's background that he has to rely on himself to slowly struggle in his official career. It can be seen.

It is also because of this that Lin Xuanying is not burdened by marriage even though she is quite old.

Ling Ji picked up the case file and read it briefly, then gradually frowned.

Lin Xuanying looked at his expression, smiled and said: "How? If such a big case is uncovered, I am afraid that the emperor will not be good."

King Jiajun, the Marquis Mansion of Guang'an and several noble families implicated behind it——

A county king is nothing to worry about, but even the emperor would not dare to touch this noble and noble family huddled together.

What's more, the Marquis of Guang'an leads troops outside all the year round, which is not comparable to those honorable children in the capital who eat nothing.

Ling Ji covered the case file and handed it to Lin Xuanying: "Put it away first, it's not appropriate to tamper with this matter."

Lin Xuanying casually threw it aside, and said, "How much do you think this has to do with the case of the Duke of Pingguo?"

On the day when the Pingguo Mansion was framed, the wall collapsed and everyone pushed the situation. If no one was behind to help the flames, it would not have reached such a situation.After all, the Pingguo Mansion has always been powerful among the twelve families, and suddenly it was hit by such a storm, and it was completely overthrown without any room for turning around. On weekdays, even if it is a guilty family, it has to absolve three points of the honorable family Tacitly keeping silent and watching with cold eyes, it seems that it is just to protect oneself wisely, but the things behind it are by no means that simple.

"Master deliberately alienated other families at that time, probably arousing suspicion." Ling Ji said.

He stated the pros and cons to Fang Houye, hoping that Fang Houye would arouse vigilance in his heart, and try to minimize his involvement in the secret connections between the aristocratic families.The emperor of the current dynasty is still considered a wise king, as long as he expresses his attitude clearly about some things, he will think about it in his heart.

At that time, he regarded the emperor as the biggest threat, but Fang Houye was upright, he didn't have too many twists and turns, and he did it too obviously, instead causing trouble to his upper body earlier.

The Pingguo Mansion, the head of the Twelve Aristocratic Families, was so easily defeated, and the energy behind it cannot be underestimated.This is also the reason why the emperor did not dare to move the aristocratic family openly.

"It's not just that, the carload of overseas goods back then was charged with collusion and treason." Lin Xuanying said.

Rebellion is a big taboo for all emperors. Most of the emperors would rather kill by mistake than let it go. The current emperor is not a soft-hearted person, but he ordered no further investigation. More punishments, and even allowed Fang Houye and his party to stay in the capital...

Ling Ji pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Don't startle the snake just now."

It's just that they don't try to scare the snake, but they can't control other people's hands and feet.

In Jiajun Wangfu, Jiajun Wang, who is over forty years old, is well maintained and looks like he is still in his thirties. At this time, he is sitting in the flower hall with a gloomy face, and his servants come to report: "My lord, Xu Shizi has arrived."

"Let him in." King Jiajun said.

Xu Ruxin walked slowly and bowed to King Jiajun: "My lord, I don't know why I called the younger generation here today."

King Jiajun threw a piece of letterhead on the table: "Look for yourself."

Xu Ruxin picked it up, looked at it, and frowned: "Gu Feng is secretly investigating the prince?"

"A young minister of Dali Temple really has some guts." King Jiajun sneered.

Xu Ruxin folded the letter paper and put it back on the table.

"I've already dealt with the case of Cui Runuo, and the prince will never be found. You don't have to worry about it."

"Now that the king has been found, you still dare to speak so shamelessly?!" King Jiajun looked at him coldly, "I think Xu Shizi is clean, and you have cleaned up the Guang'an Hou's mansion very cleanly."

"The prince's words really frightened the juniors." Xu Ruxin lowered his head and said, "The Marquis of Guang'an and the prince are both prosperous, how can they do those things that betray their promises."

"It's not that the Duke of Pingguo's mansion and the Marquis of Guang'an's mansion were not close at the beginning. I remember that the young son of the Duke of Pingguo's mansion and you are close friends." King Jiajun sneered, "You were so hot that day, this king thought you How caring you are, it’s not like you’re going to do it right away. Now that you’ve put away all those vain things in front of me, I’m very clear about who you are.”

Xu Ruxin's eyes flashed, and he clenched his palms secretly.

It turns out that even an outsider can see that his opponent, Yue Sheng, is different from others. It is ridiculous that he himself only thinks that Yue Sheng is just his pawn...

"You know that the Marquis of Guang'an's Mansion is on the same boat as this king." Jiajun Wang said, "I have to worry about the case of the Ministry of Industry. See off the guests." After finishing speaking, he turned and left the flower hall, ignoring the return Xu Ruxin was sitting in the hall.

Xu Ruxin looked at his back, a trace of mockery flashed in his eyes.

Inside the yamen of Dali Temple, Gu Feng held a piece of paper in his hand and read it, with a sneer on his lips.

Although the note was not signed, he knew it was sent by Shenwu Hou Lingji.He and Ling Ji had been separated from each other for so many years in the academy, yet he knew Ling Ji so well.

"Boss, you smile so lewdly, which girl's love letter did you receive?" the subordinate winked at the side.

Gu Feng raised his hand and shook the note to pieces, blowing off the debris.

"It's my old friend." Gu Feng shook the leather on his wrist, and smiled with sharp white teeth.

His subordinates trembled, annoyed that he shouldn't talk too much, his boss is withdrawn and unruly, and has always been difficult to please.

A small official suddenly ran in from the outside, knelt down and said, "My lord, someone is looking for you outside."

"Who?!" Gu Feng frowned, "Is Dali Temple a place where idlers can come?"

"He is a son of a rich family who looks a bit weak." The little official said.

Gu Feng got up and went out, and saw a tall and familiar figure outside the spacious gate of Dali Temple.

It's just that in the late autumn, the man had already put on a white cloak, and his handsome face tucked into the fur collar looked a little inadequate, coughing lightly from time to time.

He is the eldest grandson of Mr. Fu, and also a trusted courtier in front of the emperor.

Gu Feng frowned even tighter, walked over and said, "Fu Jinyu, are you looking for me?"

Fu Jinyu turned to look at him, covered her mouth and coughed: "Let's find a convenient place to talk."

Gu Feng took him back to his residence in Yamen, poured him a cup of hot tea and handed it to him.

Fu Jinyu took it but didn't drink, and looked up at him: "Gu Feng, I heard that you are the Prince of Chajia County?"

Gu Feng raised his lips and smiled: "It's really strange, I am doing errands with my salary, and one or two of them are in charge of my official duties."

"Are you really still investigating the case of the Ministry of Industry?" Fu Jinyu's face darkened, "Don't investigate any more, it's not something you can touch."

Gu Feng didn't answer, and looked him up and down with those eagle-like eyes.Fu Jinyu's face became hot, she covered her lips and coughed twice to cover it up.

"Fu Jinyu, are you here to be a lobbyist for Ling Ji?" Gu Feng said with a sneer.

"What?" Fu Jinyu was slightly taken aback.

Gu Feng picked up the hem of his clothes, sat with his legs crossed beside Fu Jinyu, squinted at him and said, "Pretending to be pretty, isn't it? You and Ling Ji have always been good friends, but you won't look for him anymore when he becomes Marquis of Martial Arts. Afraid that the emperor will suspect him because of this? You have a heart. Now because of Lingji, you even have to intervene in the affairs of princes and nobles who have never intervened. Does Marquis Shenwu know your intentions?"

Fu Jinyu's white face turned angry: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Gu Feng snorted coldly: "You know what I say. I don't care what you guys plan to do. I investigate the case myself, and I don't need outsiders to tell me what to do."

"You! Idiot! You don't know good people! You are just a little young minister of Dali Temple. Some things become more dangerous the deeper you investigate. I will stop here. Do it yourself!" Fu Jinyu knocked the tea bowl on the table , Wrapped tightly in the cloak and walked away.

Gu Feng looked at his back, clicked his tongue impatiently, and muttered: "You are really a spoiled and spoiled Mr. Fu, who loves to get angry so much."

In Shenwuhou's mansion, it was almost noon, and when Ling Ji came back, he saw a swift figure running towards him as soon as he passed the chaoshou corridor.

"Lingji!" Fang Yuesheng shouted excitedly, throwing himself in front of him and wrapping his arms around Lingji's waist.

Sometimes Lingji likes to hug his waist and lift him up. At this time, he wants to copy this movement, and he exerts all his strength to come out. Lingji still stands motionless on the spot, looking at him with a smile.

"Why is it so heavy..." Fang Yuesheng muttered.

He has been selling vegetables for a year, no matter what, he has a lot of strength, and it is not that difficult to hug Ling Ji.

It's just that Lingji calmly used his internal strength and landed firmly on the ground.

How decent is it for a majestic Marquis Wu to be hugged?

"Why is Sheng'er so happy?" Ling Ji smiled lightly.

When Fang Yuesheng heard Ling Ji calling him like that, he touched his cheek shyly, and called out very politely: "Brother."

"Sheng'er is good."

Master Fang and Master Ling were discussing matters while walking towards the front yard, passing by this corridor, the two of them heard the sound of "brother" very clearly, and suddenly they looked at each other as if they were hit by a thunderbolt from the blue sky. Wonderful.

Ling Ji and Fang Yuesheng walked towards the inner courtyard side by side. Master Fang was so excited that he nimbly pulled Master Ling to hide aside and waited for the two to walk over before coming out.

Master Ling has been a housekeeper by Fang Houye's side for decades. Although his status is very different at this time, he still respects Fang Houye.Fang Houye didn't let him speak out, so he resisted the urge to question, and now he just looked at Fang Houye with a pale face: "Master, what's going on?"

Master Fang Hou also considered that he had practiced, and he calmed down after being surprised, but he didn't expect these two boys to be more and more shameless, what kind of brother, good boy, how decent are they?

Seeing that Master Ling was still in shock waiting for his answer, Master Fang coughed lightly, and pulled Master Ling forward: "Old Ling, I have already discussed this matter with Mrs. Ling, Mrs. Ling is thin-skinned. , I probably haven't told you yet..."
