Fengluo Pingyang

The Marquis of Guang'an was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the emperor ordered the case to be jointly tried by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.After Lingji Miansheng handed over his errand, he didn't have much to do later.He was also happy and relaxed, and hurried to the mansion after leaving the palace.

The servant bowed in front of the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Ling returned directly to the mansion after he came down from court, and he didn't go anywhere else."

"He can let it go." The emperor raised his brows, "I'm still waiting for him to beg me to let him finish this case." After all, such a great achievement has already been done to this point, but it was transferred to others , anyone will feel at a loss.

"I think Lord Ling's pursuit is different from ordinary people, so we can't judge it with common sense." The servant bowed his head.

The emperor listened, and couldn't help but be very interested: "Then tell me, what is the pursuit of this Marquis of God?"

"The servant only knows that Lord Ling has taken all the people from the original Pingguo mansion into the Shenwuhou mansion since he was awarded the title of lord, and he still takes them in. I don't know what his plan is."

"The Duke of Pingguo." The emperor narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, "If I hadn't been lenient with the Duke of Pingguo back then, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to subdue this marquis who pursued something different from ordinary people to serve my country."

The servant hurriedly said: "It is a blessing to be a subject to be loyal to the emperor. How dare Marquis Shenwu have such rebellious thoughts."

The emperor smiled and waved his hands: "It's all good to say. For example, if you don't have the benefits that are hard to give up, how can you, an old slave, be willing to serve me for so many years? You seem to say something casually, but it can make me I have doubts about my ministers, how much will it cost to buy you a gentle mention."

When the servant heard this, his face was full, and he knelt down hastily: "Your servant, my servant is dedicated to the king, and I have never dared to have any thoughts of disloyalty. I hope the emperor will check it out!"

The emperor smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes: "Okay, I just said it casually, it seems to scare you. Get up."

The servant quickly got up and stood beside the emperor with his hands down.After a long while, I heard the emperor say again: "Don't gossip in front of me in the future, I don't want anyone to try to influence my judgment."

"Your maidservant is awake, it's all because of my servant's talkativeness." The servant kowtowed in shock and replied, the shock in his heart might not be able to calm down for a few days.

No one expected that the always suspicious emperor would trust the seemingly unruly Marquis Shenwu so much that he would not allow anyone to say that he was inappropriate.

The emperor opened the booklet on the desk case and read it slowly.

"Xu Zheng, Xu Zheng, how did the Marquis of Guang'an, whom I entrusted to you, fall to where he is today..."

In the Mansion of Marquis of Shenwu, everyone is busy cleaning up for Master Ling who has returned from a long journey.

"Lingji." Fang Yuesheng took Lingji's hand and sat in the pavilion by the lotus pond, looking at him with joy.

Ling Ji couldn't help laughing and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? Why are you so happy?"

"You seem to have grown taller again." Fang Yuesheng compared the top of his head.

Ling Ji grabbed his hand with a smile, put it on his lips and kissed it, looked at him with gentle eyes, and said softly, "Did Sheng'er miss your brother?"

Fang Yuesheng lowered his head in embarrassment, and put the top of his head against Lingji's chest and arched: "I can think about it."

The little maids who were busy walking around by the lotus pool turned their heads and lowered their faces one after another, not daring to look or listen, and it was really not easy to be busy with the errands at hand.

"By the way, Lingji, what did Lord Guang'an do?" Fang Yuesheng couldn't help asking.

Ling Ji felt a sour feeling in his heart: "When did Sheng'er become so interested in political affairs?"

Seeing that Fang Yuesheng was just looking at him eagerly, Ling Ji had no choice but to say: "He raises his own self-esteem at the border. In Fengliu City, almost only the Marquis of Guang'an is known, not the current emperor."

"He wants to rebel?" Fang Yuesheng was taken aback.

Ling Ji shook his head: "That's not the case, I'm afraid that rebellion is two extremes. The Marquis of Guang'an may have been a little vigorous a few years ago. Since the princes of the Xirong Kingdom fought for the throne, he naturally had no time to take care of other things. The border is becoming more and more stable. It is also a place far away from the Emperor Tiangao. He has been stationed there for many years, and Fengliu City has been managed by him in an orderly manner, and it has become more and more prosperous. The Marquis of Guang'an may have been wiped out by those stable days. He is full of pride, only wants to enjoy life, and dare not fight anymore. How can such a person have the courage to rebel?"

"That's why he hasn't returned to the capital these years..." Fang Yuesheng was thoughtful.

"That's right. He didn't want to go back to the capital, but he raised bandits himself, and the bandits shouted to catch the bandits. I'm afraid most of the wars in recent years were planned by him alone." Ling Ji shook Fang Yuesheng's hand.

"But when he returned to the capital, he was still the famous Marquis of Guang'an, so what's wrong?" Fang Yuesheng was very puzzled.

Ling Ji smiled: "The water in the capital is deep, the forces of all parties are intertwined, and the higher-ups have to serve the emperor. How can they be as comfortable as being a king from far away in the sky? Besides, the house of Lord Guang'an in Fengliu City There are ten or twenty concubines in the main room, if he is in the capital, how dare he be so arrogant? So many censors will join him."

Fang Yuesheng thought for a while, and a trace of sadness appeared on his face.

"He is happy in a place where the emperor is far away, but he has put all the burdens that should be on him on Ruxin..."

Sudden pain in his hand, Fang Yuesheng couldn't help but let out a low cry, and looked at Lingji with aggrieved face.

"Why are you pinching me?!"

An unhappy look flashed across Ling Ji's face, and his thin lips were pursed, but he didn't make a sound.

"What are you doing, talk!" Fang Yuesheng pinched his cheek and said angrily.

Ling Ji turned his head, unwilling to answer.

Fang Yuesheng thought for a while, then hummed twice: "What's the matter, so you're jealous?"

Ling Ji looked at him, with a pair of dark eyes revealing an obvious accusation.

Fang Yuesheng coughed twice guiltily, looked at the carvings above and then at the marble floor below, and after a while he dared to turn his head to look at Ling Ji's dark eyes.

"I just said it casually. After all, I have been friends for so many years. If I don't care about the affairs of the Marquis of Guang'an at all, wouldn't you be more suspicious?"

Ling Ji snorted coldly, although Fang Yuesheng didn't feel that he was in the wrong, he still pretended to be obedient and leaned over, beat his shoulders and squeezed his hands, and smiled obsequiously: "Don't be so stingy, Ling Ji. Don't be angry I'm sorry, I'm going to feel sorry for you."

Ling Ji looked at him, and slowly revealed a smile.Fang Yuesheng only felt a flash in front of his eyes, as if all the flowers were blooming in the winter.

Master Fang Hou and Master Ling, who had just passed by the lotus pond, had a panoramic view of all this, and couldn't help but stare at each other in horror.

After the Marquis of Guang'an was escorted to Beijing, the Marquis of Guang'an's Mansion was sealed up by the Ministry of Criminal Justice. All the family and servants were locked in a courtyard in the inner house. Gu Feng, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and the minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice came to search with troops.

In the spacious courtyard, there are rare objects that the soldiers raided from various houses and courtyards.

Gu Feng casually picked up a dendrobium, looked left and right, and snorted: "I didn't expect the majestic Guang'anhou's mansion to be so dilapidated. It was the things that came out of the mansion of a fifth-rank official that was raided last time. It looks much more dignified than these rags."

The servant of the Ministry of Punishment wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking that you have learned a lot from the house raid.

After they had been busy for two hours, they counted all their belongings, registered and sealed them one by one, and carried them to the yamen.

Two soldiers pushed and pushed a man over. The man's clothes were clean and his hair was not messed up, but his face was pale and bloodless, and his eyes were red as if congested with blood. , looking really pitiful.

Gu Feng grinned and said, "Xu Shizi, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Xu Ruxin glanced at him indifferently, without saying a word, he stepped over him.

However, Gu Feng blatantly stretched out his foot and kicked, Xu Ruxin's feet were suddenly unsteady, and his already weak body could no longer support his pretended calm demeanor, and he fell limp to the ground in an instant, his face was soaked in cold sweat, and he opened his mouth thickly. gasping.

Gu Feng squatted down, pinched his chin with two fingers and turned to himself, looked at him coldly with a pair of eagle-like eyes, and said with a smile: "Xu Ruxin, Xu Shizi, I still remember the day when you and I competed in the restaurant, Xu Shizi responded to everything What a scene. What I said at that time was not a prophecy. Without the status of the son of the Marquis of Guang'an, what are you?!"

Xu Ruxin didn't even look at him, just drooped his eyelashes, resisting the itch in his throat, and didn't want to lose his composure in front of others again.

The servant of the Ministry of Punishment was walking around in a hurry, but he didn't dare to pull Gu Feng away.

"My lord Gu, this Xu—Elder Xu has not been convicted yet, and now he is still the son of the Marquis of Guang'an. The son of Xu received the imperial reward for his contribution to the preparation of military funds the day before yesterday. Looking at the attitude of the emperor, it seems that he has favored the son of Xu. .You see that he is so weak now, it is better not to be so rude, so as not to hurt him, if the emperor blames him, how can we bear it—”

Gu Feng glared at him, and the servant of the Ministry of Punishment backed away again and again in fright, not daring to say another word.

This Gu Feng has always been unscrupulous, he even dared to beat his boss.However, he has a lot of face in front of the emperor. Not only did he not get convicted for beating his boss, but he was even promoted two ranks. This is really unbelievable.

Seeing that Xu Ruxin was silent, Gu Feng was not very interested. He shook off Xu Ruxin and stood up, snorted coldly, waved his hands and said loudly: "Put the prisoner in the prison of Dali Temple, and wait for a trial date!"

"Master Gu, this should be taken to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice..." The servant minister murmured and reminded, but was glared at by Gu Feng, and quickly swallowed his words back, just watching his nose, nose, nose and heart, and didn't say a word more .
