Fengluo Pingyang

Gu Feng was busy investigating King Jiajun these days, but Shenwuhou Lingji, who was ordered by the emperor to take charge of the case, was leisurely and carefree in the mansion every day. In recent days, Shenwuhou's mansion was even more lively, all because of Zheng Mofang Soon to be married.

Although Zheng Mofang lived in the mansion of Marquis Shenwu, she was not in the honor of Marquis Shenwu, and naturally she couldn't climb up to high officials and nobles.Fortunately, Ms. Zheng herself is not a woman whose eyes are high above the top. Madam Ling met Zheng Mofang with a candidate who was waiting for the exam in Beijing.Lord Fang Hou also inspected this person, and he is very talented. It should not be difficult to get a Jinshi next year in Chunwei. The most important thing is that he has a good character, a modest gentleman, and he is a man worthy of a woman's entrustment for life.

Now Mrs. Ling has arranged various dowries for Zheng Mofang with great fanfare, and everyone in the capital knows that Miss Zheng from Shenwuhou Mansion is about to get married.

"Who is Miss Zheng going to marry?" Some people always asked curiously.

That Juren has the loftiness of a literati, and he only wants to use his true talents and knowledge to enter the official career, and he is unwilling to take advantage of the power of the Marquis of Shenwu, so the two parties have a tacit understanding not to announce the identity of the man, and let outsiders guess.

"Who else is there? Madam Ling brought Miss Zheng out of her hometown as a daughter-in-law. If Miss Zheng wants to marry, she will only marry Marquis Shenwu."

"I heard that Marquis Shenwu left Pingguo's mansion back then, abandoned his pen and joined the army, and made great achievements in the world, just to marry his sweetheart for the sake of prosperity."

"There is such an inside story. Ms. Zheng is so lucky. A man like Master Ling is willing to do this for her..."

In the circle of ladies and wives in Beijing, this incident can be regarded as a gossip that has been widely spread recently.

Ling Ji naturally knew nothing about the noble ladies' gossip. After more than ten days of leisure, he was finally caught by Gu Feng who couldn't bear it anymore.

"This case is also your errand, don't you want to take credit for nothing?!"

Ling Ji raised his eyes and glanced at Gu Feng: "You want to take the emperor's uncle, where does the credit come from? It's a blessing not to be put on by the emperor."

"Then don't even think about running away." Gu Feng snorted twice, squinting at him, "What are your plans?"

Ling Ji was silent for a moment, and then sighed again: "Gu Feng, I know you have always been paranoid, but this is a court, not an academy. There is an old saying that it is rare to be confused, this world belongs to the emperor, and even the emperor is unwilling to care about it." , why do you hold on to it? If you find out a Jiajun king, there will be no less corrupt officials in the world, and the money that shouldn't be taken may not be less. "

"Aren't you really going to make a move?" Gu Feng's expression changed, "You don't know, right? When Pingguo's mansion was framed, King Jiajun must have got involved. Maybe he was the mastermind. You are willing to let it go like this." passed him?!"

Ling Ji smiled: "This is the emperor's brilliance. Back then he might not have known that it was a frame-up, but he needed a reason to deal with the honorable family. What could be cheaper than giving him a knife when they were in civil turmoil?" Strength? The purpose of the emperor is to weaken the power of the aristocratic family, so after sealing up the Pingguo mansion, he gently let go of the masters and servants in the mansion. In this matter, the actions of King Jiajun and the Marquis of Guang'an are very embarrassing. However, he pardoned the people of Fangfu, this is a great favor that I must understand, and I am also willing to accept the favor of the emperor."

Gu Feng's face sank like water, and he said coldly: "So now you want to return the emperor's favor? Ling Ji, you really are suitable to be a courtier."

"This Marquis is just not as good as Mr. Gu." Ling Ji smiled.

Gu Feng looked at him coldly, but after a while he laughed: "I didn't expect, I didn't expect that when you were in the academy, you were a gentleman in the capital, and I was a rascal. Who would have thought that you would say such things to me now?" A word?"

Ling Ji still smiled lightly and didn't respond.

Gu Feng's complexion gradually became gloomy: "At the beginning, the riverside dam was built so fragile and useless because of these people's wanton greed. It almost caused a catastrophe and affected tens of thousands of people. Could it be that such a fact also Can't you defend Ling Houye's seven-apertured exquisite heart?"

"But in the end it didn't hurt the people." Ling Ji laughed.

"That's the result of you piling up money." Gu Feng's expression was cold, "If you fail to make up for it in time, the catastrophe has already been cast!"

"There's nothing wrong with it." Ling Ji said calmly, "I made it up in time, and everything is fine, that's the only result."

"You!" Gu Feng flicked his sleeves, "It's so oily!"

Ling Ji smiled and looked at him: "Master Gu doesn't know what I want, and I don't force Master Gu to agree with me. Although in my opinion, the trend of the world has already been settled, whether it is honest officials or corrupt officials, this is the general trend. As a member of the group, catching one or two silverfish will not help. If you want to change the situation abruptly, you will inevitably need a big change that shocks the world. .What the emperor is doing now, what is in his heart, I dare to guess, it must be such a change. So the emperor never sticks to small details, as long as he can accomplish the great cause in his mind, everyone is just a pawn. In his eyes There are only available and unavailable, not corrupt officials."

Gu Feng snorted coldly, noncommittal.

Ling Ji looked at him, smiled and continued: "Even so, in this dynasty and in this world, people like Master Gu are indispensable, otherwise it will be just a pool of muddy water that will become muddy if it is not cleared by clear water. It's a quagmire. It is precisely because the emperor knows this fact that he has favored Sir Gu, and his holy family is not fading. All the Lord has to do now is to stick to his heart."

Gu Feng raised his eyebrows: "I don't want Master Ling to teach me what to do now, but what is Master Ling planning?!"

"The emperor appointed me to supervise this case, not for me to be upright and unyielding together with Master Gu." Ling Ji smiled, "Master Gu must stick to his heart, and this Marquis must not break away from his duty. This is what the Emperor wants to see Yes. My lord, just let go and do everything else, I will do everything else."

Gu Feng looked at him for a while, then suddenly shook his head and smiled.

"It's no wonder that when you were in the academy, you, a person who was trying to gain fame and reputation, was surrounded by so many people. Now that you have to say a few words, you don't have to do anything. I still want to thank you for making this mess behind you?"

Ling Ji smiled and nodded: "You can also say that."

On the contrary, Gu Feng had nothing to say, he was silent for a while, and then smiled again: "Okay, I will believe you this time."

Ling Ji picked up the teacup, but was waved away by Gu Feng: "Why do you still drink tea, let's go, I invite you to drink, Master Hou will not give you face?!"

Ling Ji was pulled up by Gu Feng, and went straight to the outside of Dali Temple.

"My lord, the little inquisitor heard clearly that this case is still in charge of the Marquis Lingji, and Gu Feng is just a clown. No matter how Gu Feng jumps up and down, as long as Lingji doesn't want to get to the bottom of it, the case will be settled." You can put it down gently. This is also what the emperor meant. The emperor has an old relationship with the prince. It's just that Gu Feng used the principles of black and white, good and evil to suppress the emperor. Ling Ji was appointed to handle the case."

King Jiajun sat behind the desk, frowning and listening to the report.

"That's it?" King Jiajun got up impatiently, "That Lingji is not a good match either, the Cui Runuo case was not set up by him!" It seems that since this year, the court suddenly There are more little sesame officials that the old people don't like, such as Lin Xuanying, such as Gu Feng, Ling Ji is not a sesame official, but a bigger trouble!

Qing Ke who was sitting at the bottom pondered for a moment, and said: "Until now, Gu Feng is the only one who insists on going his own way, but Marquis Shenwu has never shown up. Could it be that Marquis Shenwu doesn't want to make small things big?"

"You can't place your hopes on others, especially this Lingji!" King Jiajun looked gloomy, and walked back and forth a few steps, "I heard that Lingji is getting married soon? His fiancée is also his distant cousin, Quite pampered?"

Everyone below looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing why the prince suddenly mentioned this matter.

"It is said that Marquis Shenwu Lingji is a flirtatious kind." Jiajun Wang suddenly smiled coldly, "If this king is holding his fiancée's life, do you think he will be used by this king?!"

"This..." All the Qing guests pondered, faintly feeling that something was wrong.

"My lord, what matters is not what Marquis Shenwu does, but the attitude of the emperor, why should we take risks—"

"Needless to say!" King Jiajun waved his hand and said with a sneer, "Do you think the emperor really cares about my uncle? How could he allow Gu Feng to come here if he had even the slightest concern? He was just waiting, waiting to be treated. His most favorable time appears. This king must not sit still and wait for death!"

"Yes, your lord is wise." Everyone had no choice but to agree.

A dark smile appeared on King Jiajun's face.The emperor is still hesitant about how to deal with this matter, so he made this arrangement. If there is anyone in this world who can influence the emperor's thoughts, it is Ling Ji.As long as Lingji is used by him, there is no chance of survival.

Outside the corner gate of Marquis Shenwu's mansion, two carriages were parked there. Fang Yuesheng got on the first one, and shouted at the door: "Hurry up, don't you want to buy jewelry, the shop will be closed later."

Zheng Mofang and her personal servant girl came out from the corner door, and said helplessly, "I said there is no need to worry, why bother to buy it today, it will be the same tomorrow."

"How can I do that?" Fang Yuesheng said, "That set of hair is a new style this year, the master only made that set, and the inlaid gems are all the best. If someone else buys it, it will be gone. , even if you want to type it yourself, you can’t find all the materials. Stop talking nonsense, Xiaoqing help your lady get into the car.”

Zheng Mofang was embroidering her wedding dress in the room, but Fang Yuesheng dragged it out in a hurry, insisting that she had spotted a fancy dress at the jewelry store, and she wanted to buy it back immediately when she came back to marry her.

Fang Yuesheng's attitude warmed Zheng Mofang's heart.If he didn't really treat her as his own, how could he treat her like this?

The two carriages slowly drove away from the Marquis of Shenwu's mansion, but several figures suddenly emerged from the shadows and chased after the carriage together.
