Fengluo Pingyang

At noon on a sunny day, the torture room built under the Dali Temple was still dark, and the Nuoda cell could only be illuminated by dozens of torches on the wall, and there was never a ray of sunlight in it.

As usual, there were screams in the torture room one after another, mixed with cursing and crying for mercy, which made people feel terrified when they heard it.

Gu Feng sat crookedly in the large grand teacher's chair, playing with a small dagger in one hand, and dragging his chin with the other hand, those noisy voices seemed to be completely unheard, and his brows were furrowed in deep thought.

"Report—report! Master Gu!" A petty official ran in from the outside and knelt down on one knee in front of Gu Feng, "My lord, the son of the Marquis of Guang'an wants to see you."

"What is the son of the Marquis of Guang'an, where is the Marquis of Guang'an?" Gu Feng sneered, put the dagger into the sheath with a clang, and pinned it to his lap, "I am busy with business, so I don't have time to see those idlers. Let him rest Share some, or he will be kicked out of Dali Temple." Anyway, Xu Ruxin has already got all the things about King Jiajun in his hands, and this down-and-out son is useless to him.

The emperor punished the Marquis of Guang'an and the generals who were escorted back to the capital by Feng Liucheng, but he lightly let go of Xu Ruxin and other people in the Marquis of Guang'an's mansion, and did not even decree to deprive Xu Ruxin of his sonship.But even the Marquis of Guang'an no longer exists, and he still bears the name of the prince, which is simply a joke.

"However, Xu Ruxin said that he has something important to ask the lord." The little official hesitated for a while and still reported.

Gu Feng squinted his eyes and looked at the subordinate kneeling below: "It's rare to see you working so hard, tell me, what benefits did you take from him?"

The little official was so frightened that he quickly bent down: "My lord is wise! The little one has received some benefits." He didn't dare to argue at all, and took out a piece of warm and beautiful jade from his bosom.

"The little one thought it was just passing on a message and it was harmless, so—" the little official chuckled.

Gu Feng snorted coldly, kicked the piece of beautiful jade up with his toe, and dropped it into his hands.

"This is the best mutton fat jade, so he gave it to you?" Gu Feng squinted at the light and looked at it.

The little official rubbed his fingers reluctance, and replied: "Xu Shizi took it from his body casually, I thought it was not a valuable item, otherwise I wouldn't dare to accept it even if I gave it ten guts."

Gu Feng thought for a while, probably Xu Ruxin was penniless, and if he wanted to bribe others, he could only bribe people with these personal belongings.It's just that he is really willing to sell it, this mutton fat jade can keep him fed and clothed for a few days if it is pawned, so if he gives it away like this, is he really going to rely on Dali Temple and expect Gu Feng to feed him all the time? Wear it?

Gu Feng snorted coldly, put the piece of beautiful jade into his arms, and kicked the little official.

"You're going to use your job to make extra money, so get out."

The little official raised his head shyly: "Where is Xu Shizi——"

"Let him wait, don't make any more demon moths, I will naturally go to see him when I have free time."

The little official quickly retreated after he got the words, and trotted all the way to the back hall of Dali Temple.

The front yard of Dali Temple is the office, and several houses were built in the back hall for the officials of Dali Temple to take a nap occasionally. Now only Xu Ruxin lives in it.

Xu Ruxin was waiting at the second gate, when he saw the little official running over, he hurried forward and said, "Where's Gu Feng?"

The little official rolled his eyes, completely lost the obedience in front of Gu Feng just now, and said arrogantly: "My lord told you to wait honestly, he will come to see you when he is free."

"I have something important to discuss with him, didn't you tell him?" Xu Ruxin asked anxiously.

The little official said impatiently: "Young Master Xu, I didn't mean you, and you don't even look at your current status? What important matters can you discuss with our boss? Our boss arranged for you to live in Dali Temple It's good enough for you, you should be safe, and don't keep causing trouble for us."

"You!" Xu Ruxin's face flushed red with anger, this little official obviously didn't say that when he took his jade pendant and left, but he turned his face and turned his back on him in the blink of an eye.

The little official didn't want to talk nonsense with him any more, so he turned and left.After a trip in vain, he didn't get any benefits, but was scolded by Mr. Gu, how could he have the patience to deal with Xu Ruxin.

Xu Ruxin punched the carved wall bitterly, but only hurt his own hand.

He wanted Gu Feng to find a way to settle Mrs. Xu through Dali Temple.Mrs. Xu lives outside now, and although there are still a few servants around her to take care of her, but the Marquis of Guang'an has lost power, who can guarantee that those servants will not be dissatisfied?What's more, the Guang'an Marquis Mansion has been built for so many years, and it will always offend some people. Not to mention, now the Najia County Mansion is not easy to get along with. Mrs. Xu lives outside alone, how can he rest assured?

I hate that Gu Feng put him under house arrest in Dali Temple for the case of King Jiajun. He was easy to talk to when he needed to use him before. Mrs. Xu's current residence is also Gu Feng's help, but now he is useless. Even It's hard to see him once.Xu Ruxin originally planned to either ask Gu Feng to use the influence of Dali Temple to protect Mrs. Xu, or let him go out and let him guard Mrs. Xu himself.But who would have thought that Gu Feng would be so shameless that he would throw him aside after using him and never see him again.

Xu Ruxin stood at the second door and thought anxiously for a moment, then walked out.Before he walked out of the small garden connected to the front yard, a few guards from Dali Temple appeared, escorting him back to the back hall without saying a word.

"Master Gu has an order. Without his order, Mr. Xu is not allowed to enter or leave the Dali Temple." The guard pushed him into the room, said with a blank expression and then backed out. This time, he even locked the door.

Xu Ruxin ran to the door and shook the door panel vigorously, angrily said: "I've told him everything I know, let me out! Bastard!" No one answered outside.Xu Ruxin kicked and tossed for a long time, but he couldn't open the door or call anyone, and there was nothing he could do.

Gu Feng crossed his legs and drank wine, sitting by the case and looking through the evidence Xu Ruxin submitted to him about King Jiajun.It has to be said that King Jiajun is very cautious, the evidence in Xu Ruxin's hands is not enough to prove him anything, let alone he is the emperor's uncle, without any substantive evidence, he can't be moved at all.

It's a pity that he managed to catch this big fish with great difficulty, but now he has no choice but to stand deadlocked like this.That Lingji was ordered by the emperor to supervise the handling of the case, but he has never intervened until now.Gu Feng didn't expect that slippery Marquis Wu to really put in the effort to find out the case and bring King Jiajun to justice. It would be good if he didn't make trouble for him.As early as when he was in Qiming Academy, he saw clearly that Lingji was indeed talented and capable, but everything he did had his own purpose, that is, he wanted to gain fame and profit, and he never did it for nothing. It is really embarrassing for such a person who is fishing for fame to get a good name for nothing after doing one thing.

Just as he was thinking about it, another small official ran in and preached: "Boss, that Mr. Fu is looking for you."

Gu Feng was startled, and looked up at him: "Where is the man?"

"Waiting outside the gate."

"Fool! Why don't you invite people to the side hall!" Gu Feng threw the file back on the table, got up and walked out: "Young Master Fu is weak, so you let him wait outside in the cold weather. How can we explain to Mr. Fu if something happens?!"

"Yes, yes, I remember it, little one." The little official responded hastily.

Gu Feng personally went to the gate to welcome Fu Jinyu in, but he saw Fu Jinyu standing outside with a servant, wearing a silver cloak, his face was so white that it almost caught up with the color of the cloak.

Fu Jinyu's physique was special since he was a child, and he was fine in spring and summer, but when the weather was cold, he showed weakness. Mr. Fu loved this eldest grandson, and the emperor loved this courtier. If he was allowed to freeze outside Dali Temple Gu Feng knew that he couldn't eat and walked around.

"Come in, come in, I've been here so many times, you should come in without being invited." Gu Feng led the people to the courtyard, calling for people to burn the charcoal fire in the side hall again and again. Be more prosperous.

Fu Jin's jade-white complexion turned slightly red, and he followed Gu Feng to the Dali Temple.

"This is a yamen after all, how can I just go in as soon as I say it. But you, you never go back to the mansion, and you have been living in the yamen, what's the matter." Fu Jinyu said.

Gu Feng didn't turn his head back: "What is your status? Even the imperial palace can enter as soon as you say it. Why are you being so polite to the Yamen of Dali Temple?" As for his unwillingness to go back to the ancient mansion, there is really nothing to say.

Gu Feng took Fu Jinyu into the side hall of the yamen, which was dedicated to receiving guests. His bedding was in the small courtyard next to the side hall. When he lived in the yamen, he settled down in that yard. On the contrary, only Xu Ruxin was closed in the back hall. people.

Gu Feng personally poured hot tea and served it to Fu Jinyu, and sat down beside him.

"What's your business?"

Fu Jinyu took a sip of hot tea, let out a sigh of relief, and looked at Gu Feng.

"I heard that you have sent people to besiege Jiajun Palace for more than three days. Although the emperor didn't say anything, I'm afraid you won't be able to continue the siege."

"I know." Gu Feng patted his hair a little irritably, "I hate that the Najia County Prince's Mansion is so powerful, I can't take people in to search it, and if I can't get evidence, how can I punish him!" He can at most besieged Two days in Jiajun Palace, if it drags on, even the emperor will not be able to tolerate his misbehavior.It will be even more difficult to deal with King Jiajun when the time comes.

Gu Feng cast a glance at Fu Jinyu: "If you came to persuade me to stop, then there is no need. Now that you have opened your bow and there is no turning back, if you don't take King Jiajun down, I will be the young minister of Dali Temple." It’s probably over.”

"Losing an official position is still a trivial matter." Fu Jinyu glared at him, "If the king of Jiajun wants to deal with you, and the emperor develops suspicions against you, what do I think you will do?!"

Gu Feng chuckled, stroked the teacup and did not speak.

Fu Jinyu sighed: "This is the end of the matter, and it is useless to say anything else. I have been checking the emperor's tone for the past two days. I am afraid that the emperor still has old feelings for King Jiajun. You have to give Jiajun It is fine for the king to convict you, but be careful not to let the emperor despise you."

Gu Feng nodded, and Fu Jinyu said again: "Although Marquis Shenwu hasn't moved yet, he must have his own opinion. I know you two don't like each other, but now is not the time to care about those things. I have already gone to Marquis Shenwu After the house visit, you should take the time to discuss it with Lingji. There is really no need for Marquis Shenwu to worry about this matter, and the emperor can't blame him anyway, so you should take the initiative, there is nothing you can't save yourself from."

Gu Feng looked at Fu Jinyu with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Fu, for taking such painstaking care of my subordinates."

"It's good that you know." Fu Jinyu snorted softly, rubbing his fingers at the jewelry hanging on his waist, "If you can really solve the case of Jiajun Wangfu, such a big credit, you won't need it from now on I was worrying about it on the sidelines."
