Difficult for a son-in-law
Chapter 103 Doubt
Compared to the panicked Ming Yi, Ming Zhan lives a carefree life.
Feng Jingnan had already ordered people to take away the servants around Mingyi one after another, Feng Jingnan didn't move Mingyi, he didn't even ask Mingyi a word.He just summoned Mingyi's servants for interrogation every now and then, and he didn't repay the debts. Anyway, Zhennan Palace has a lot of servants, so Mingyi got new ones.
In just half a month, the people around Mingyi changed completely.
Feng Jingnan's actions put Mingyi under tremendous pressure. Ming Zhan watched Mingyi become thinner and restless in a very short period of time, his eyes turned blue, and his spirit was sluggish.
At this moment, prying Mingyi's mouth open is effortless.
The number of times Ming Yi came to Fengjingnan Study Room was very few, and he was not favored if he was not a descendant, and his position was quite embarrassing.
Mingyi greeted him very politely, but Feng Jingnan just said "um", but didn't order him to get up, and didn't even give him a look, and continued to read the book in his hand.
The study was very quiet, Ming Yi could only feel the coldness of the floor tiles penetrate into his knees through his clothes, soak into his bones, and then his heart beat like a drum.
"Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Feng Jingnan's voice suddenly came to mind, and Ming Yi trembled all over. His face was pale and haggard, and there were thick bruises under his eyes. At this moment, hearing his father's question, he bit his lip and was still struggling to die, "Son, son doesn't know What the father asked, please tell the father clearly?"
"I don't know?" Feng Jingnan snorted coldly, "Why don't you let your boys speak for you."
"Son, son..."
Fengjing Nanji was patient, didn't say a word, just stared at Mingyi's pale face coldly, Mingyi raised his head quietly, his eyes fell into Fengjingnan's piercing phoenix eyes, that kind of cold and indifferent expression Staring at it, Mingyi felt as if he was on the iceberg and snow, an uncontrollable chill rose from the bottom of his heart.
"I always thought you were a smart person, and talking to smart people was effortless. Mingyi, what you do, you say and I ask are two consequences. Are you sure, can you bear it?"
"me……"
"Where did you hear about Li Lin?"
Feng Jingnan suddenly yelled angrily, and Mingyi was extremely scared. When Feng Jingnan asked, he obviously knew, and tremblingly said, "Son, my son heard about it at his uncle's house."
"Wei Ning?"
"Yes," Mingyi's forehead was sweating, and he didn't dare to say anything. "My son went to his uncle's house to pay his respects. When he saw Li Lin, he said a few words. The uncle said he was an autumn winder, so don't pay attention to him. Later, he met him in a teahouse outside. , After coming and going, we got to know each other.
"What's the matter with the letter and Geng Tie?" Feng Jingnan sneered, "Back then the Li family was copied, men, women, and children were all thrown into prison, don't tell me who remembers to bring this insignificant letter!"
"Father, my son really doesn't know." Mingyi burst into tears.
Feng Jingnan continued to ask, "Why didn't you tell me about this? You want to see Ming Zhan's jokes, don't you?"
"I never knew you hated him so much."
"Okay, you go down."
Feng Jingnan had already set a date to return to Yunnan, Ming Zhan thought that Ruan Chensi was newly married, and since she was a side concubine, there was no etiquette for returning home, so she went to Yunnan and did not know when she would return.So he picked a date and sent Ruan Chensi home to the province.
"By the way, bring some presents for the family. Don't leave empty-handed for the first time." Ming Zhan has always acted thoughtfully. Don't be lazy.
Ruan Chensi was a little worried, all she could move was her dowry, and it was hard to take the dowry back.The decorations in this courtyard belong to Zhennan Prince's Mansion, now that she has just married, how can she move lightly?What's more, if you take it back to your mother's house, it will make people laugh.
Ruan Chensi's temperament is simple and clear, and Ming Zhan guessed it most closely when he saw her expression, he slapped his forehead and said with a smile, "Look, I forgot, let's go, I'll take you to the warehouse."
The key to the storeroom was on He Yu, and Ming Zhan and Ruan Chensi went in, pointing to the treasures in the room and said, "Look and choose some, I'll send someone to post today, and I'll go back later, how about it?"
Ruan Chensi was flattered to see Ming Zhan asking for his opinion again, and said, "Excellent."
"Then you pick it first, I still have something to do. Pick which ones and let He Yu take them to your courtyard."
Ruan Chensi was inexplicably grateful.
Master Ruan received the post from the Zhennan Palace and felt that the severe cold was about to pass and the warm spring was coming.
The Ruan family invited the chef from the Emperor's Capital Zhaixing Building in advance to prepare excellent noodles, and Ruan Houye and Ruan Tanhuaer accompanied him.
Ming Zhan said with a smile, "That day when we came to the imperial capital, we met the officials in Tianjie. On that day, brother Hongyan straddled the hairpin on his horse and only glanced at it briefly. I didn't think we would have brother-in-law's affection."
Since Ming Zhan is not a serious Yue family, Ming Zhan can't call him brother Ruan Hongfei, but he still mentions "uncle and brother's affection", which finally made the Ruan family look good.
Ruan Hongyan was not a person who didn't know what to do, Ming Zhan showed his kindness a little, and he put the snake on the stick, and said with a smile, "I remember that day, the son was wearing a brocade blue robe, and he looked heroic."
It's hard to imagine that men would flatter each other's appearance and clothing. In fact, men cherish appearance more than women imagine. For example, Ming Zhan and Ruan Hongyan both have A-shaped faces. Although the face shape is not as majestic as the "Guo" face, they are both handsome and handsome, so they are also first-class appearances.
The two flattered each other, drank a few glasses of wine contentedly, and suddenly felt that the distance between them was much closer.Ruan Hou was naturally happy to see the two getting close.
In fact, what Ming Zhan said at the wine table has never been taken seriously, just for fun.So I started talking nonsense with Ruan Hongyan.
"The son returns to Yunnan this time, when will he come to the imperial capital again?"
Ming Zhan smiled, "I don't know for sure. If it is soon, I will be back next spring; if it is slow, it will be delayed."
Ruan Hongyan was actually very curious. Ming Zhan returned to Yunnan to deal with the matter of the salt class. Hearing this tone, the salt class must be in great trouble.There is movement in the Yunnan salt course, and now the Lianghuai salt course is difficult, and it is inevitable that it will not be shaken to Lianghuai.In fact, not only the Ruan family was staring at Yunnan, more than half of the imperial court officials were staring at Ming Zhan's move back to Yunnan.
The Zhennan Prince's Mansion is in charge of the two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou. These two places are mixed with hundreds of ethnic groups. They are not rich and beautiful places. The Zhennan Prince's Mansion has deep roots. Before Mingzhan, the Zhennan Kings and emperors were blood brothers. Therefore, the emperor Opening one eye and closing one eye, acquiesced to the existence of Zhennan Palace.
In the past, whatever the emperor did, the Zhennan Palace would follow.Now the salt class seems to affect the whole body.
Ruan Hongyan held the lamp for Ming Zhan and said with a smile, "I don't know how many people in the emperor's capital are looking at the prince eagerly."
"What are you looking at me?" Ming Zhan chewed the fried water chicken carefully with a chopstick, and said in a warm voice, "The salt courses in Yunnan, Guizhou and Huaihe provinces can't be compared with Lianghuai, and you can't see anything if you just wait and see."
Lord Ruan laughed and said, "It's just mediocrity. Don't worry about it. The son is young. To put it bluntly, the life of the son in Yunnan is short. If you have something to do, you should discuss it with the prince. How many winds and rains the prince has gone through. If you have any difficulties, you might as well ask the lord for advice." Ruan Houye understands the young man's desire to start a career, but Ming Zhan is not an ordinary person, how many people are eyeing his position?
Well done, as it should be.
If you do poorly, there will be countless gossip.
There are no fathers and sons in the field of power, let alone Zhennan Wang, who is in his prime.Even if Ming Zhan did a good job, he might be more suspicious.
How should the scale be grasped?Even Marquis Ruan didn't have a very good opinion, so he could only mention a word in a cryptic way, hoping that Ming Zhan and Feng Jingnan could have a good father-son relationship.
Ming Zhan nodded and said yes, and he was kind.
Marquis Ruan smiled slightly. The in-laws have been decided. Fortunately, Ming Zhan is not yet married. Now he sees that his daughter is favored and will give birth to an heir in the future... There is still a long way to go. As long as the Ruan family does not fall, everything is possible.He naturally hopes to be good.
The Ruan family father and son are smart people, since they have expressed their goodwill and concern, it is time to stop asking about the salt lesson, and just persuade Ming Zhan to taste delicious food and drink wine.
After lunch, Ming Zhan didn't want to stay at his father-in-law's house any longer, so he got up and said goodbye, "Let Chen Si and Madam talk more, I'll come and pick her up later."
Ruan Houye almost laughed out loud when he heard this, listen, the son said "I'll come pick her up again" instead of sending someone to pick her up.Moreover, it was her daughter's boudoir name that was called just now.
Alas, it seems that the relationship between the two is not so good.
In fact, Ruan Houye really misunderstood, Ming Zhan is naturally gentle and gentleman towards women, this kind of behavior has not been seen for a feudal scholar-bureaucrat like Ruan Houye for a hundred years, but to Ming Zhan, it is just normal.
In other words, Ming Zhan will do the same to women who are more pleasing to the eye.
However, people are willing to believe what they want to believe. Lord Ruan said with a smile, "How could this be possible? His Royal Highness is magnanimous to allow her to come back. Now His Royal Highness treats her very well. We as parents know that we can only rest assured. Let her follow His Royal Highness." Let's go back together."
Ruan Hou Ye is not too wordy, but he is not annoying, and he is really good at being a man.
When Ruan Chensi came out, her eyes were a little red, her face was reapplied with makeup powder, her expression was very bright, Madam Ruan personally sent her daughter out.
Naturally, Ming Zhan would not accept Mrs. Ruan's gift, so he offered a little help, "You are too polite."
Madam Ruan smiled and patted her daughter's hand, "Go back with the son, remember to respect your in-laws and serve the son, and don't always think about going back to your mother's house."
After Ming Zhan and Ruan Chensi left, the Ruan family finally put half of Gao Xuan's heart at ease. Mrs. Ruan clasped her hands together, "Thank God, our daughter is also blessed."
Marquis Ruan is not in a bad mood. Ming Zhan can be called polite, handsome, and willing to treat his daughter well. As long as her daughter lives up to her spirits, she is not afraid of losing her future.
As soon as Ming Zhan's sedan chair arrived at the door, He Yu jumped out from the gatehouse, helped Ming Zhan out of the car, leaned over and whispered something in Ming Zhan's ear, Ming Zhan's face sank, and he thought to Ruan Chen through the car window , "You go back first, I have something to do."
Ruan Chensi responded in a low voice.Ming Zhan took He Yu straight to Feng Jingnan's study, and asked as he walked, "When did it happen?"
"It is said that this morning, Master Xiao Fan has been ordering his servants to wait for his son here. He went to seek mercy from Master Fan." He Yu whispered, seeing that Ming Zhan's thin lips were drawn into a line, and there was no star on his face. Rou Rou, persuaded in a small voice, "My son, you must tell the prince well, don't, don't quarrel with the prince."
"I know, you go back first, I know the way to the study."
The person who arrested him while he was away dared to treat him as righteous. Ming Zhan was annoyed and didn't show up on the spot. It really improved his self-cultivation.
Outside Fengjingnan's study room, he was stopped by Li San, who smiled apologetically, "Forgive me, my lord, the lord is busy inside, and no one will be seen after ordering."
"Who am I?" Ming Zhan raised his eyebrows, "You just have to report."
Li San was in a dilemma, in fact what Feng Jingnan said was: Just stop the prince when he comes, this king doesn't want to see him.
Ming Zhan sneered, "It seems that the father just doesn't want to see me. Forget it, I don't make things difficult for Eunuch Li. I just ask you, where is Li Cheng?"
Li San made it even more difficult, and whispered with a bitter face, "I really don't know, my son, the master is getting angry, so please bear with it. Think about it, my son, you want stars on weekdays. The master doesn't give the moon, but the family business is big, and the prince also needs a bowl of water to level it out, so Li Xiaozi, it's just closed for a few days, so don't make things difficult for the master."
Ming Zhan said, "As long as my father is fair to me, how can I make things difficult for him. Eunuch Li should pass it on for me. Even if I die, I will be a sensible ghost. For no reason, the people around me don't It's the right thing to say to catch."
Li San sighed inwardly, even though he was a slave, he still admired a master like Ming Zhan, unlike the second son, he didn't even dare to fart.
Li Sanjuan didn't have the ability to persuade Ming Zhan, so he had to go in and report.
Feng Jingnan was noncommittal after hearing this, "Let's pass on the meal first, if he is willing to wait, just wait."
The wind was a bit cool at night, Ming Zhan stood on the porch, and saw the head of the dining room with his servants carrying two dining tables, he knew that it was time for Feng Jingnan to have dinner.
Li San went in and didn't come out again, it seems that Feng Jingnan deliberately wanted to air himself out.
Hmph, Feng Jingnan is best at this kind of thing that slaps people off.
Ming Zhan followed directly behind the servant in the dining room. The guard at the door stretched out his hand to stop him. Ming Zhan shoved fiercely. The guard staggered back two steps and shouted, "My lord, you can't go in without the lord's summons!"
"Go away!"
Ming Zhan raised his leg to go in, but the guard gave a false yell to show that he had fulfilled his responsibility and did not dare to stop him harshly.Just kidding, it doesn't mean that Zhan will be the king of Zhennan in the future.Even if they are nothing, they are still serious father and son.
The son insisted on seeing Lao Tzu. He is a subordinate, so he can't be so brainless that people don't want to see him.
Ming Zhan respectfully greeted him, Feng Jingnan sat on the dining table and ignored him, Ming Zhan did not kneel stupidly, just brushed the dust off his knees, and got up.
Li San's heart skipped a beat, he hurriedly made gestures, and led the servants in the room to retreat.
There are only father and son left in the room.
Feng Jingnan had already picked up the chopsticks to eat, and Ming Zhan sat down with Feng Jingnan and started eating with chopsticks, but he didn't plead for mercy as Feng Jingnan wanted.
Ming Zhan didn't eat well at Ruan's house. At this time, facing the table full of delicious food, it can be said that he was in a turmoil.Feng Jingnan still took his time and ate his meals gracefully, Ming Zhan's patience was better than he imagined.
After dinner, the servants served tea, Feng Jingnan said, "I heard you went to Ruan's house?"
"I'm going back to Yunnan soon. I don't think I'll be back in the imperial capital in a short time. I accompanied Mrs. Ruan back to her mother's house." Ming Zhan raised his head and drank a cup of Biluochun, put down the tea bowl, and said, "I heard that the father is going to send someone to come back. Li Cheng has been arrested. He is my servant after all. If there is a mistake, it is not too much for me to deal with him after my father informs me. But now, it is for no reason. There is no reason. Son, I don’t know how to share the worries of my father.”
Feng Jingnan snorted, "It's rare that you have improved a lot in speaking now. If you really know how to be polite, you wouldn't trespass on my king's study!"
"It's my fault. But Li Cheng is someone close to me. My father said that he should be arrested and tried if he wanted to. He didn't tell me at all. Where did my father put me?" Ming Zhan asked. He said, "Li Cheng has always followed the rules. Did he violate the national law or the family rules? Even if I'm not here today, can't my father let me come back and deal with it?"
"Are you questioning me?" Feng Jingnan's face darkened, he could understand Ming Zhan's anger, but he dared to be so disrespectful because of a slave... Feng Jingnan looked at Ming Zhan coldly , he is going to teach Ming Zhan a lesson!
"There are countless people around me, but there is only one father, and I will not hurt my father-son relationship with you for anyone!" Ming Zhan said, "Father, think about it, have I ever done something for Yu Zhen?" Unfavorable things for Nanwang Mansion! My father is always suspicious of me. When I can't speak, I worry that I will grab Mingli's seat. I can speak, but I am afraid that I will not be able to accommodate a few Mingli in the future. Could it be that those who have the ability should Are you going to die? Now you want to touch the people around me again. Forgive me, if my father can’t tolerate me, you can just tell me. If you suspect me, I can disperse them, but they serve me for a while, no credit but hard work, Now that I can't keep them, I don't have the face to use them anymore."
Feng Jingnan didn't even move his eyebrows, "Sure enough, the master and servant love each other deeply, otherwise, Li Cheng didn't have the guts to spy on Xiuzhuyuan."
Xiuzhu Courtyard is Mingyi's courtyard, also known as Gentleman's Courtyard, this guy has always sought fame and reputation, he likes the name of this courtyard and the clumps of Xiangzhu behind the house, so he chose this courtyard.
"Father said so, is there evidence?"
"We have witnesses. As for Li Cheng's statement, we will have it soon."
"Father doesn't need to order someone to interrogate Li Cheng again. He did everything according to my instructions. I ordered him to pay attention to the actions of Xiuzhuyuan." Jing Nan's voice turned cold instantly, "Why do you let your subordinates do such a thing?"
"Father, please bring Li Cheng here, and I will tell you the truth."
Feng Jingnan ordered, "Li Bing, bring Li Cheng over here."
Ming Zhan sat calmly at Fengjing's south head, his face was neither frightened nor frightened, the old god was there, his psychological quality was three mountains stronger than Mingyi's.
It was the first time for Ming Zhan to see Li Bing. In fact, he never knew that there was such a person around Feng Jingnan.
Li Bing really lived up to the name "Bing", his face was like ice, his face was like ice and snow, he would never melt.With just one glance, you can instantly cool down.
Li Cheng's face turned pale with fatigue, and he was very excited when he saw Ming Zhan, then lowered his head and knelt down silently.
Ming Zhan said, "Li Bing, what about Li Cheng's confession, let me have a look."
"He hasn't confessed yet." His voice was also a bit cold.
"So, Li Cheng, did they use torture?" Ming Zhan asked.
Li Cheng nodded, then shook his head quickly.Ming Zhan looked into Li Bing's clear eyes and said, "If you have any questions, you can ask me."
Li Bing asked Feng Jingnan for instructions, Feng Jingnan said, "Ask?"
"Did the prince ask Li Cheng to buy Fu Sheng from the Second Young Master's courtyard?"
"What is buying?" Ming Zhan said, "If I remember correctly, my father has already handed over the properties of the imperial capital to me, and clearly stated that these properties will be taken care of by me. Naturally, I will take care of the old and young in this mansion. As far as I know, nothing big or small in this mansion can escape the eyes of the father, so does that mean that the father also ordered people to spy on us?"
"Li Cheng, did you give Fusheng any favors?" Ming Zhan asked, "Did you give him a name, or lure him for profit?"
Li Cheng hurriedly said, "The servant and Fusheng grew up together, and they have known each other for a long time. Because they both work outside the second gate, the masters will not order us when they don't go out. They often talk together. When it comes to family background, Fusheng's father He is also the steward of the mansion, not poorer than the servant's family. If we talk about the future, the prince is very strict, and the servant usually just goes out to get some carriages and horses. Fusheng is the servant next to the second son, and we are on par. What the servant allows , Fusheng didn't like it either."
Li Bing said coldly, "Then why did Fusheng say that you knew about Li Lin?"
"Li Lin, this slave has indeed heard Fu Sheng talk about it. The second young master drank with Li Lin a few times outside, and Li Lin rewarded Fu Sheng with silver in private. Yes." Li Cheng said tremblingly, "I have never seen such a generous reward since I went out with the prince. Therefore, I remember this person's name. I think it is probably the son of Fugui Township, so I know this. Your lord Mingjian, the servant really didn't intend to inquire."
"Then have you mentioned Li Lin's matter to the prince?" Li Bing continued to ask, Ming Zhan's pupils shrank slightly in an instant, and his expression remained unchanged, "I have mentioned it, Li Cheng has mentioned it to me."
Ming Zhan said frankly, "Li Cheng is the person I arranged to take Li Ming's seat. I ordered him to pay attention to the affairs in the house. If there are any unusual people or things, he will tell me that it is his job. I know Li Lin, But it’s only limited to the name. After the Ruan family incident, I remembered that the second brother and Li Lin knew each other. I don’t know the cause and effect of this, but I didn’t mention it to my father.”
Glancing at Feng Jingnan, Ming Zhan said, "Maybe my father didn't believe it, but it happened at that time. My relationship with my second brother is mediocre. If I told my father about this, I would be suspected of framing my brother. So, I didn't say anything." Of course, I expected that the father would know about this matter sooner or later, Li Lin will not be able to survive the secret interrogation, sooner or later the contents of his stomach will be vomited, and the second brother will definitely be implicated, and you will know sooner or later."
"It's one thing for my father to know about it, but another thing for me to know about it." Ming Zhan was quiet and honest, "I don't like my second brother, but I don't want to pursue this matter. After all, this is in the imperial capital. The face of Zhennan Prince's Mansion still needs to be taken into account."
Your act of interrogating your son like a thief should also be restrained.
Feng Jingnan sneered, "Then I really want to reward you for being so profound and righteous."
"If my father suspects that I knew about the marriage between Li Lin and the Ruan family in advance, I will deny it!" Ming Zhan said calmly, "That is my big wedding, and I also don't expect the big wedding to become a joke! I There is no reason to do this! If I had known earlier, I would have dealt with Li Lin in advance, or directly used this matter to dissolve the engagement with the Ruan family, why should I wait until the big wedding to let others see the joke!"
"If the father refuses to believe it and insists on interrogating the people around me. Then I have no choice but to admit it. Under the three trees, I can't get a confession. I have said everything that needs to be said." Ming Zhan still had a confident face "Whether you believe it or not, that's all I know. If there is nothing wrong with the father, I will take Li Cheng back first. If there is anything to do with the father, let someone come to know me. Our master and servant are waiting."
Ming Zhan vowed to advance and retreat with Li Cheng, and Li Cheng was so moved that he almost burst into tears. The servants around Mingyi were replaced, and today he was caught in a secret prison, knowing that his death was near.He is not a tough guy, but there are parents and relatives behind him, Ming Zhan is not mean to his servants, as long as he grit his teeth, Ming Zhan will definitely treat his parents preferentially.
Unexpectedly, Ming Zhan actually rescued him.
The person who was about to be executed suddenly met Amnesty. Li Cheng felt this way now, and he could hardly believe it.
Feng Jingnan suddenly said, "Li Bing, Li Cheng, you all step back first."
"Li Cheng, you go and wait in my courtyard. I have something to ask you later." Ming Zhan said.
Feng Jingnan didn't object, Li Cheng's eyes were full of surprise and gratitude, he knelt down on the ground, smacked Ming Zhan three times, and went on gratefully.
When Fusheng admitted that Li Cheng had asked him about Li Lin, Feng Jingnan almost wanted to strangle Ming Zhan to death.
It's a pity that Ming Zhan went to Ruan's house at that time and escaped unharmed.In a rage, Feng Jingnan ordered Li Cheng to be arrested and interrogated in secret.
If Ming Zhan gritted his teeth and refused to admit that he knew about Li Lin, he wouldn't mind killing Li Cheng directly to give Ming Zhan some color.
However, Ming Zhan can always give him some surprises.
In other words, this kid has reached a certain level of shamelessness.To be able to say the matter of secretly spying on his elder brother so aboveboard, upright and calm, as if he should be like this in the first place.
Now that Ming Zhan admits that he knows Li Lin, Feng Jingnan doesn't believe that he didn't investigate this Li Lin.However, Feng Jingnan's conversation did not revolve around Li Lin, "Wei Ning hated the Ruan family very much. He used to befriend Ruan Hongfei, but he hated the Ruan family very much. Everyone in the court knows that Chengenhou and Beiweihou They never get along. Ming Zhan, do you know about this?"
"I don't know very well."
"That's what I know." Feng Jingnan smiled, "Of course you know, I know exactly what you think about Wei Ning. Wei Ning has always acted eclecticly, and he does treat you differently. From the first time you clashed with Ming Fei in the Compassion Palace, I knew that he intended to befriend you. Even though Mingyi is his own nephew, he was befriending you."
Feng Jingnan seemed to be emotional, "What an embarrassing situation his words put Ming Fei in, but he saved you."
"Why didn't you stand out?" Ming Zhan said softly, "You have always doted on Ming Fei. At that time, I thought you would stand up for Ming Fei."
"Although Mingfei will bear some criticism, at that time, if you scratch your face, I understand that if you force you again, you will not hesitate to die." Feng Jingnan's lips and teeth were a little bitter, "Maybe I am a little biased, but for me Saying that you are also my child, there is no parent in the world who is an enemy of his own child."
"At that time, I thought I was going to die." Ming Zhan said lightly, with a sarcasm on his brows, "I really hated Ming Fei to the core, and I wanted to kill her. Up to now, I don't like her, even, I I will never like her in my life. Even if I can inherit the throne in the future, I will never let her share the power of the Zhennan Palace."
"I am indeed narrow-minded. No matter how generous I am, I will never forget it." Ming Zhan said, "You know me, and you worry more and more about Mingli and his brothers and sisters. If you don't worry about it, you have to give them more protection." So, you deprive me of my rights again and again, you think I am strong, so I will never be hurt by them, right?"
"Have you ever thought that you are also my father? How did you cultivate Mingli? Because you loved him so much, you let him listen to politics by your side when you were ten years old, and sent him to the imperial capital when you were 15 years old to become your son in the future." Get ready." Ming Zhan looked quietly at Feng Jingnan, "But I want to enter the palace as a hostage, suffer all kinds of bullying, and rely on the pity of others to survive. Mingli is weak, and if I intervene even a little bit, I will be restless. You I was able to seal it for me, but because Uncle Huang made a mistake in his judgment, a letter came, and there was a clerical error. You didn't expect it before, did you?"
"At least in your plan, even if you will ask for a title for me in the future, it shouldn't be so fast, right?" Ming Zhan said, "But the opportunity is too rare. Even the emperor's uncle would like his son to inherit the township Although you don't like me for the southern throne, you still prefer me to inherit it compared to the princes."
Ming Zhan sighed quietly, the sky outside was completely dark, because it was the end of the month, there were many stars, under the black sky, glittering like jewels.
"I also have something wrong, because I know that I don't like you, so I hope to seize some rights and increase protection. I am afraid of making mistakes in everything, and I am uneasy. I am afraid that you will get caught and will finally get it Take back the rights." Ming Zhan laughed at himself, "The position is obviously unstable, but you still have to pretend to be a master, for fear of being looked down upon. It's really a shame. It will probably make people look down even more."
"I expected that you would ask me about this."
"Actually, no matter whether I admit it or not, you have already made up your mind." Ming Zhan said, "After all, in your mind, what kind of person I am, I will always be that kind of person."
"Even if I emphasize again that I have no intention of harming justice, you won't believe it. My scheming city is deeply rooted in your heart. Every time you think about it, you must have trouble sleeping and eating, right?" Ming Zhan He bowed his head and clasped his hands, "You need a strong heir, but you don't necessarily like such a son, and I don't like it either. In fact, no one likes to be born calculating."
"Back then, father, how did you ascend the throne of Zhennan King from an unfavored bastard, and the bloody storm... in front of you, what is my little trick worth?"
"Even, many things have no evidence, but you are still willing to imagine in that direction. You would rather kill the wrong than let it go. You are used to this way of thinking, so you don't need to ask me again. What do you think, I am in Ruan If you want to play a role in the family incident, then I will play that role." Ming Zhan sneered, "As for the purpose, I don't need to tell you, you can think of one, can't you?"
As soon as Ming Zhan finished speaking, he received a big slap on the head. He never knew that someone could slap someone with such power. He jumped out of the grand teacher's chair, and then turned over the mahogany chair on his body. He didn't I felt pain, but my head buzzed like it was run over by a locomotive, and when my eyes went dark, I lost consciousness.
Feng Jingnan had already ordered people to take away the servants around Mingyi one after another, Feng Jingnan didn't move Mingyi, he didn't even ask Mingyi a word.He just summoned Mingyi's servants for interrogation every now and then, and he didn't repay the debts. Anyway, Zhennan Palace has a lot of servants, so Mingyi got new ones.
In just half a month, the people around Mingyi changed completely.
Feng Jingnan's actions put Mingyi under tremendous pressure. Ming Zhan watched Mingyi become thinner and restless in a very short period of time, his eyes turned blue, and his spirit was sluggish.
At this moment, prying Mingyi's mouth open is effortless.
The number of times Ming Yi came to Fengjingnan Study Room was very few, and he was not favored if he was not a descendant, and his position was quite embarrassing.
Mingyi greeted him very politely, but Feng Jingnan just said "um", but didn't order him to get up, and didn't even give him a look, and continued to read the book in his hand.
The study was very quiet, Ming Yi could only feel the coldness of the floor tiles penetrate into his knees through his clothes, soak into his bones, and then his heart beat like a drum.
"Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Feng Jingnan's voice suddenly came to mind, and Ming Yi trembled all over. His face was pale and haggard, and there were thick bruises under his eyes. At this moment, hearing his father's question, he bit his lip and was still struggling to die, "Son, son doesn't know What the father asked, please tell the father clearly?"
"I don't know?" Feng Jingnan snorted coldly, "Why don't you let your boys speak for you."
"Son, son..."
Fengjing Nanji was patient, didn't say a word, just stared at Mingyi's pale face coldly, Mingyi raised his head quietly, his eyes fell into Fengjingnan's piercing phoenix eyes, that kind of cold and indifferent expression Staring at it, Mingyi felt as if he was on the iceberg and snow, an uncontrollable chill rose from the bottom of his heart.
"I always thought you were a smart person, and talking to smart people was effortless. Mingyi, what you do, you say and I ask are two consequences. Are you sure, can you bear it?"
"me……"
"Where did you hear about Li Lin?"
Feng Jingnan suddenly yelled angrily, and Mingyi was extremely scared. When Feng Jingnan asked, he obviously knew, and tremblingly said, "Son, my son heard about it at his uncle's house."
"Wei Ning?"
"Yes," Mingyi's forehead was sweating, and he didn't dare to say anything. "My son went to his uncle's house to pay his respects. When he saw Li Lin, he said a few words. The uncle said he was an autumn winder, so don't pay attention to him. Later, he met him in a teahouse outside. , After coming and going, we got to know each other.
"What's the matter with the letter and Geng Tie?" Feng Jingnan sneered, "Back then the Li family was copied, men, women, and children were all thrown into prison, don't tell me who remembers to bring this insignificant letter!"
"Father, my son really doesn't know." Mingyi burst into tears.
Feng Jingnan continued to ask, "Why didn't you tell me about this? You want to see Ming Zhan's jokes, don't you?"
"I never knew you hated him so much."
"Okay, you go down."
Feng Jingnan had already set a date to return to Yunnan, Ming Zhan thought that Ruan Chensi was newly married, and since she was a side concubine, there was no etiquette for returning home, so she went to Yunnan and did not know when she would return.So he picked a date and sent Ruan Chensi home to the province.
"By the way, bring some presents for the family. Don't leave empty-handed for the first time." Ming Zhan has always acted thoughtfully. Don't be lazy.
Ruan Chensi was a little worried, all she could move was her dowry, and it was hard to take the dowry back.The decorations in this courtyard belong to Zhennan Prince's Mansion, now that she has just married, how can she move lightly?What's more, if you take it back to your mother's house, it will make people laugh.
Ruan Chensi's temperament is simple and clear, and Ming Zhan guessed it most closely when he saw her expression, he slapped his forehead and said with a smile, "Look, I forgot, let's go, I'll take you to the warehouse."
The key to the storeroom was on He Yu, and Ming Zhan and Ruan Chensi went in, pointing to the treasures in the room and said, "Look and choose some, I'll send someone to post today, and I'll go back later, how about it?"
Ruan Chensi was flattered to see Ming Zhan asking for his opinion again, and said, "Excellent."
"Then you pick it first, I still have something to do. Pick which ones and let He Yu take them to your courtyard."
Ruan Chensi was inexplicably grateful.
Master Ruan received the post from the Zhennan Palace and felt that the severe cold was about to pass and the warm spring was coming.
The Ruan family invited the chef from the Emperor's Capital Zhaixing Building in advance to prepare excellent noodles, and Ruan Houye and Ruan Tanhuaer accompanied him.
Ming Zhan said with a smile, "That day when we came to the imperial capital, we met the officials in Tianjie. On that day, brother Hongyan straddled the hairpin on his horse and only glanced at it briefly. I didn't think we would have brother-in-law's affection."
Since Ming Zhan is not a serious Yue family, Ming Zhan can't call him brother Ruan Hongfei, but he still mentions "uncle and brother's affection", which finally made the Ruan family look good.
Ruan Hongyan was not a person who didn't know what to do, Ming Zhan showed his kindness a little, and he put the snake on the stick, and said with a smile, "I remember that day, the son was wearing a brocade blue robe, and he looked heroic."
It's hard to imagine that men would flatter each other's appearance and clothing. In fact, men cherish appearance more than women imagine. For example, Ming Zhan and Ruan Hongyan both have A-shaped faces. Although the face shape is not as majestic as the "Guo" face, they are both handsome and handsome, so they are also first-class appearances.
The two flattered each other, drank a few glasses of wine contentedly, and suddenly felt that the distance between them was much closer.Ruan Hou was naturally happy to see the two getting close.
In fact, what Ming Zhan said at the wine table has never been taken seriously, just for fun.So I started talking nonsense with Ruan Hongyan.
"The son returns to Yunnan this time, when will he come to the imperial capital again?"
Ming Zhan smiled, "I don't know for sure. If it is soon, I will be back next spring; if it is slow, it will be delayed."
Ruan Hongyan was actually very curious. Ming Zhan returned to Yunnan to deal with the matter of the salt class. Hearing this tone, the salt class must be in great trouble.There is movement in the Yunnan salt course, and now the Lianghuai salt course is difficult, and it is inevitable that it will not be shaken to Lianghuai.In fact, not only the Ruan family was staring at Yunnan, more than half of the imperial court officials were staring at Ming Zhan's move back to Yunnan.
The Zhennan Prince's Mansion is in charge of the two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou. These two places are mixed with hundreds of ethnic groups. They are not rich and beautiful places. The Zhennan Prince's Mansion has deep roots. Before Mingzhan, the Zhennan Kings and emperors were blood brothers. Therefore, the emperor Opening one eye and closing one eye, acquiesced to the existence of Zhennan Palace.
In the past, whatever the emperor did, the Zhennan Palace would follow.Now the salt class seems to affect the whole body.
Ruan Hongyan held the lamp for Ming Zhan and said with a smile, "I don't know how many people in the emperor's capital are looking at the prince eagerly."
"What are you looking at me?" Ming Zhan chewed the fried water chicken carefully with a chopstick, and said in a warm voice, "The salt courses in Yunnan, Guizhou and Huaihe provinces can't be compared with Lianghuai, and you can't see anything if you just wait and see."
Lord Ruan laughed and said, "It's just mediocrity. Don't worry about it. The son is young. To put it bluntly, the life of the son in Yunnan is short. If you have something to do, you should discuss it with the prince. How many winds and rains the prince has gone through. If you have any difficulties, you might as well ask the lord for advice." Ruan Houye understands the young man's desire to start a career, but Ming Zhan is not an ordinary person, how many people are eyeing his position?
Well done, as it should be.
If you do poorly, there will be countless gossip.
There are no fathers and sons in the field of power, let alone Zhennan Wang, who is in his prime.Even if Ming Zhan did a good job, he might be more suspicious.
How should the scale be grasped?Even Marquis Ruan didn't have a very good opinion, so he could only mention a word in a cryptic way, hoping that Ming Zhan and Feng Jingnan could have a good father-son relationship.
Ming Zhan nodded and said yes, and he was kind.
Marquis Ruan smiled slightly. The in-laws have been decided. Fortunately, Ming Zhan is not yet married. Now he sees that his daughter is favored and will give birth to an heir in the future... There is still a long way to go. As long as the Ruan family does not fall, everything is possible.He naturally hopes to be good.
The Ruan family father and son are smart people, since they have expressed their goodwill and concern, it is time to stop asking about the salt lesson, and just persuade Ming Zhan to taste delicious food and drink wine.
After lunch, Ming Zhan didn't want to stay at his father-in-law's house any longer, so he got up and said goodbye, "Let Chen Si and Madam talk more, I'll come and pick her up later."
Ruan Houye almost laughed out loud when he heard this, listen, the son said "I'll come pick her up again" instead of sending someone to pick her up.Moreover, it was her daughter's boudoir name that was called just now.
Alas, it seems that the relationship between the two is not so good.
In fact, Ruan Houye really misunderstood, Ming Zhan is naturally gentle and gentleman towards women, this kind of behavior has not been seen for a feudal scholar-bureaucrat like Ruan Houye for a hundred years, but to Ming Zhan, it is just normal.
In other words, Ming Zhan will do the same to women who are more pleasing to the eye.
However, people are willing to believe what they want to believe. Lord Ruan said with a smile, "How could this be possible? His Royal Highness is magnanimous to allow her to come back. Now His Royal Highness treats her very well. We as parents know that we can only rest assured. Let her follow His Royal Highness." Let's go back together."
Ruan Hou Ye is not too wordy, but he is not annoying, and he is really good at being a man.
When Ruan Chensi came out, her eyes were a little red, her face was reapplied with makeup powder, her expression was very bright, Madam Ruan personally sent her daughter out.
Naturally, Ming Zhan would not accept Mrs. Ruan's gift, so he offered a little help, "You are too polite."
Madam Ruan smiled and patted her daughter's hand, "Go back with the son, remember to respect your in-laws and serve the son, and don't always think about going back to your mother's house."
After Ming Zhan and Ruan Chensi left, the Ruan family finally put half of Gao Xuan's heart at ease. Mrs. Ruan clasped her hands together, "Thank God, our daughter is also blessed."
Marquis Ruan is not in a bad mood. Ming Zhan can be called polite, handsome, and willing to treat his daughter well. As long as her daughter lives up to her spirits, she is not afraid of losing her future.
As soon as Ming Zhan's sedan chair arrived at the door, He Yu jumped out from the gatehouse, helped Ming Zhan out of the car, leaned over and whispered something in Ming Zhan's ear, Ming Zhan's face sank, and he thought to Ruan Chen through the car window , "You go back first, I have something to do."
Ruan Chensi responded in a low voice.Ming Zhan took He Yu straight to Feng Jingnan's study, and asked as he walked, "When did it happen?"
"It is said that this morning, Master Xiao Fan has been ordering his servants to wait for his son here. He went to seek mercy from Master Fan." He Yu whispered, seeing that Ming Zhan's thin lips were drawn into a line, and there was no star on his face. Rou Rou, persuaded in a small voice, "My son, you must tell the prince well, don't, don't quarrel with the prince."
"I know, you go back first, I know the way to the study."
The person who arrested him while he was away dared to treat him as righteous. Ming Zhan was annoyed and didn't show up on the spot. It really improved his self-cultivation.
Outside Fengjingnan's study room, he was stopped by Li San, who smiled apologetically, "Forgive me, my lord, the lord is busy inside, and no one will be seen after ordering."
"Who am I?" Ming Zhan raised his eyebrows, "You just have to report."
Li San was in a dilemma, in fact what Feng Jingnan said was: Just stop the prince when he comes, this king doesn't want to see him.
Ming Zhan sneered, "It seems that the father just doesn't want to see me. Forget it, I don't make things difficult for Eunuch Li. I just ask you, where is Li Cheng?"
Li San made it even more difficult, and whispered with a bitter face, "I really don't know, my son, the master is getting angry, so please bear with it. Think about it, my son, you want stars on weekdays. The master doesn't give the moon, but the family business is big, and the prince also needs a bowl of water to level it out, so Li Xiaozi, it's just closed for a few days, so don't make things difficult for the master."
Ming Zhan said, "As long as my father is fair to me, how can I make things difficult for him. Eunuch Li should pass it on for me. Even if I die, I will be a sensible ghost. For no reason, the people around me don't It's the right thing to say to catch."
Li San sighed inwardly, even though he was a slave, he still admired a master like Ming Zhan, unlike the second son, he didn't even dare to fart.
Li Sanjuan didn't have the ability to persuade Ming Zhan, so he had to go in and report.
Feng Jingnan was noncommittal after hearing this, "Let's pass on the meal first, if he is willing to wait, just wait."
The wind was a bit cool at night, Ming Zhan stood on the porch, and saw the head of the dining room with his servants carrying two dining tables, he knew that it was time for Feng Jingnan to have dinner.
Li San went in and didn't come out again, it seems that Feng Jingnan deliberately wanted to air himself out.
Hmph, Feng Jingnan is best at this kind of thing that slaps people off.
Ming Zhan followed directly behind the servant in the dining room. The guard at the door stretched out his hand to stop him. Ming Zhan shoved fiercely. The guard staggered back two steps and shouted, "My lord, you can't go in without the lord's summons!"
"Go away!"
Ming Zhan raised his leg to go in, but the guard gave a false yell to show that he had fulfilled his responsibility and did not dare to stop him harshly.Just kidding, it doesn't mean that Zhan will be the king of Zhennan in the future.Even if they are nothing, they are still serious father and son.
The son insisted on seeing Lao Tzu. He is a subordinate, so he can't be so brainless that people don't want to see him.
Ming Zhan respectfully greeted him, Feng Jingnan sat on the dining table and ignored him, Ming Zhan did not kneel stupidly, just brushed the dust off his knees, and got up.
Li San's heart skipped a beat, he hurriedly made gestures, and led the servants in the room to retreat.
There are only father and son left in the room.
Feng Jingnan had already picked up the chopsticks to eat, and Ming Zhan sat down with Feng Jingnan and started eating with chopsticks, but he didn't plead for mercy as Feng Jingnan wanted.
Ming Zhan didn't eat well at Ruan's house. At this time, facing the table full of delicious food, it can be said that he was in a turmoil.Feng Jingnan still took his time and ate his meals gracefully, Ming Zhan's patience was better than he imagined.
After dinner, the servants served tea, Feng Jingnan said, "I heard you went to Ruan's house?"
"I'm going back to Yunnan soon. I don't think I'll be back in the imperial capital in a short time. I accompanied Mrs. Ruan back to her mother's house." Ming Zhan raised his head and drank a cup of Biluochun, put down the tea bowl, and said, "I heard that the father is going to send someone to come back. Li Cheng has been arrested. He is my servant after all. If there is a mistake, it is not too much for me to deal with him after my father informs me. But now, it is for no reason. There is no reason. Son, I don’t know how to share the worries of my father.”
Feng Jingnan snorted, "It's rare that you have improved a lot in speaking now. If you really know how to be polite, you wouldn't trespass on my king's study!"
"It's my fault. But Li Cheng is someone close to me. My father said that he should be arrested and tried if he wanted to. He didn't tell me at all. Where did my father put me?" Ming Zhan asked. He said, "Li Cheng has always followed the rules. Did he violate the national law or the family rules? Even if I'm not here today, can't my father let me come back and deal with it?"
"Are you questioning me?" Feng Jingnan's face darkened, he could understand Ming Zhan's anger, but he dared to be so disrespectful because of a slave... Feng Jingnan looked at Ming Zhan coldly , he is going to teach Ming Zhan a lesson!
"There are countless people around me, but there is only one father, and I will not hurt my father-son relationship with you for anyone!" Ming Zhan said, "Father, think about it, have I ever done something for Yu Zhen?" Unfavorable things for Nanwang Mansion! My father is always suspicious of me. When I can't speak, I worry that I will grab Mingli's seat. I can speak, but I am afraid that I will not be able to accommodate a few Mingli in the future. Could it be that those who have the ability should Are you going to die? Now you want to touch the people around me again. Forgive me, if my father can’t tolerate me, you can just tell me. If you suspect me, I can disperse them, but they serve me for a while, no credit but hard work, Now that I can't keep them, I don't have the face to use them anymore."
Feng Jingnan didn't even move his eyebrows, "Sure enough, the master and servant love each other deeply, otherwise, Li Cheng didn't have the guts to spy on Xiuzhuyuan."
Xiuzhu Courtyard is Mingyi's courtyard, also known as Gentleman's Courtyard, this guy has always sought fame and reputation, he likes the name of this courtyard and the clumps of Xiangzhu behind the house, so he chose this courtyard.
"Father said so, is there evidence?"
"We have witnesses. As for Li Cheng's statement, we will have it soon."
"Father doesn't need to order someone to interrogate Li Cheng again. He did everything according to my instructions. I ordered him to pay attention to the actions of Xiuzhuyuan." Jing Nan's voice turned cold instantly, "Why do you let your subordinates do such a thing?"
"Father, please bring Li Cheng here, and I will tell you the truth."
Feng Jingnan ordered, "Li Bing, bring Li Cheng over here."
Ming Zhan sat calmly at Fengjing's south head, his face was neither frightened nor frightened, the old god was there, his psychological quality was three mountains stronger than Mingyi's.
It was the first time for Ming Zhan to see Li Bing. In fact, he never knew that there was such a person around Feng Jingnan.
Li Bing really lived up to the name "Bing", his face was like ice, his face was like ice and snow, he would never melt.With just one glance, you can instantly cool down.
Li Cheng's face turned pale with fatigue, and he was very excited when he saw Ming Zhan, then lowered his head and knelt down silently.
Ming Zhan said, "Li Bing, what about Li Cheng's confession, let me have a look."
"He hasn't confessed yet." His voice was also a bit cold.
"So, Li Cheng, did they use torture?" Ming Zhan asked.
Li Cheng nodded, then shook his head quickly.Ming Zhan looked into Li Bing's clear eyes and said, "If you have any questions, you can ask me."
Li Bing asked Feng Jingnan for instructions, Feng Jingnan said, "Ask?"
"Did the prince ask Li Cheng to buy Fu Sheng from the Second Young Master's courtyard?"
"What is buying?" Ming Zhan said, "If I remember correctly, my father has already handed over the properties of the imperial capital to me, and clearly stated that these properties will be taken care of by me. Naturally, I will take care of the old and young in this mansion. As far as I know, nothing big or small in this mansion can escape the eyes of the father, so does that mean that the father also ordered people to spy on us?"
"Li Cheng, did you give Fusheng any favors?" Ming Zhan asked, "Did you give him a name, or lure him for profit?"
Li Cheng hurriedly said, "The servant and Fusheng grew up together, and they have known each other for a long time. Because they both work outside the second gate, the masters will not order us when they don't go out. They often talk together. When it comes to family background, Fusheng's father He is also the steward of the mansion, not poorer than the servant's family. If we talk about the future, the prince is very strict, and the servant usually just goes out to get some carriages and horses. Fusheng is the servant next to the second son, and we are on par. What the servant allows , Fusheng didn't like it either."
Li Bing said coldly, "Then why did Fusheng say that you knew about Li Lin?"
"Li Lin, this slave has indeed heard Fu Sheng talk about it. The second young master drank with Li Lin a few times outside, and Li Lin rewarded Fu Sheng with silver in private. Yes." Li Cheng said tremblingly, "I have never seen such a generous reward since I went out with the prince. Therefore, I remember this person's name. I think it is probably the son of Fugui Township, so I know this. Your lord Mingjian, the servant really didn't intend to inquire."
"Then have you mentioned Li Lin's matter to the prince?" Li Bing continued to ask, Ming Zhan's pupils shrank slightly in an instant, and his expression remained unchanged, "I have mentioned it, Li Cheng has mentioned it to me."
Ming Zhan said frankly, "Li Cheng is the person I arranged to take Li Ming's seat. I ordered him to pay attention to the affairs in the house. If there are any unusual people or things, he will tell me that it is his job. I know Li Lin, But it’s only limited to the name. After the Ruan family incident, I remembered that the second brother and Li Lin knew each other. I don’t know the cause and effect of this, but I didn’t mention it to my father.”
Glancing at Feng Jingnan, Ming Zhan said, "Maybe my father didn't believe it, but it happened at that time. My relationship with my second brother is mediocre. If I told my father about this, I would be suspected of framing my brother. So, I didn't say anything." Of course, I expected that the father would know about this matter sooner or later, Li Lin will not be able to survive the secret interrogation, sooner or later the contents of his stomach will be vomited, and the second brother will definitely be implicated, and you will know sooner or later."
"It's one thing for my father to know about it, but another thing for me to know about it." Ming Zhan was quiet and honest, "I don't like my second brother, but I don't want to pursue this matter. After all, this is in the imperial capital. The face of Zhennan Prince's Mansion still needs to be taken into account."
Your act of interrogating your son like a thief should also be restrained.
Feng Jingnan sneered, "Then I really want to reward you for being so profound and righteous."
"If my father suspects that I knew about the marriage between Li Lin and the Ruan family in advance, I will deny it!" Ming Zhan said calmly, "That is my big wedding, and I also don't expect the big wedding to become a joke! I There is no reason to do this! If I had known earlier, I would have dealt with Li Lin in advance, or directly used this matter to dissolve the engagement with the Ruan family, why should I wait until the big wedding to let others see the joke!"
"If the father refuses to believe it and insists on interrogating the people around me. Then I have no choice but to admit it. Under the three trees, I can't get a confession. I have said everything that needs to be said." Ming Zhan still had a confident face "Whether you believe it or not, that's all I know. If there is nothing wrong with the father, I will take Li Cheng back first. If there is anything to do with the father, let someone come to know me. Our master and servant are waiting."
Ming Zhan vowed to advance and retreat with Li Cheng, and Li Cheng was so moved that he almost burst into tears. The servants around Mingyi were replaced, and today he was caught in a secret prison, knowing that his death was near.He is not a tough guy, but there are parents and relatives behind him, Ming Zhan is not mean to his servants, as long as he grit his teeth, Ming Zhan will definitely treat his parents preferentially.
Unexpectedly, Ming Zhan actually rescued him.
The person who was about to be executed suddenly met Amnesty. Li Cheng felt this way now, and he could hardly believe it.
Feng Jingnan suddenly said, "Li Bing, Li Cheng, you all step back first."
"Li Cheng, you go and wait in my courtyard. I have something to ask you later." Ming Zhan said.
Feng Jingnan didn't object, Li Cheng's eyes were full of surprise and gratitude, he knelt down on the ground, smacked Ming Zhan three times, and went on gratefully.
When Fusheng admitted that Li Cheng had asked him about Li Lin, Feng Jingnan almost wanted to strangle Ming Zhan to death.
It's a pity that Ming Zhan went to Ruan's house at that time and escaped unharmed.In a rage, Feng Jingnan ordered Li Cheng to be arrested and interrogated in secret.
If Ming Zhan gritted his teeth and refused to admit that he knew about Li Lin, he wouldn't mind killing Li Cheng directly to give Ming Zhan some color.
However, Ming Zhan can always give him some surprises.
In other words, this kid has reached a certain level of shamelessness.To be able to say the matter of secretly spying on his elder brother so aboveboard, upright and calm, as if he should be like this in the first place.
Now that Ming Zhan admits that he knows Li Lin, Feng Jingnan doesn't believe that he didn't investigate this Li Lin.However, Feng Jingnan's conversation did not revolve around Li Lin, "Wei Ning hated the Ruan family very much. He used to befriend Ruan Hongfei, but he hated the Ruan family very much. Everyone in the court knows that Chengenhou and Beiweihou They never get along. Ming Zhan, do you know about this?"
"I don't know very well."
"That's what I know." Feng Jingnan smiled, "Of course you know, I know exactly what you think about Wei Ning. Wei Ning has always acted eclecticly, and he does treat you differently. From the first time you clashed with Ming Fei in the Compassion Palace, I knew that he intended to befriend you. Even though Mingyi is his own nephew, he was befriending you."
Feng Jingnan seemed to be emotional, "What an embarrassing situation his words put Ming Fei in, but he saved you."
"Why didn't you stand out?" Ming Zhan said softly, "You have always doted on Ming Fei. At that time, I thought you would stand up for Ming Fei."
"Although Mingfei will bear some criticism, at that time, if you scratch your face, I understand that if you force you again, you will not hesitate to die." Feng Jingnan's lips and teeth were a little bitter, "Maybe I am a little biased, but for me Saying that you are also my child, there is no parent in the world who is an enemy of his own child."
"At that time, I thought I was going to die." Ming Zhan said lightly, with a sarcasm on his brows, "I really hated Ming Fei to the core, and I wanted to kill her. Up to now, I don't like her, even, I I will never like her in my life. Even if I can inherit the throne in the future, I will never let her share the power of the Zhennan Palace."
"I am indeed narrow-minded. No matter how generous I am, I will never forget it." Ming Zhan said, "You know me, and you worry more and more about Mingli and his brothers and sisters. If you don't worry about it, you have to give them more protection." So, you deprive me of my rights again and again, you think I am strong, so I will never be hurt by them, right?"
"Have you ever thought that you are also my father? How did you cultivate Mingli? Because you loved him so much, you let him listen to politics by your side when you were ten years old, and sent him to the imperial capital when you were 15 years old to become your son in the future." Get ready." Ming Zhan looked quietly at Feng Jingnan, "But I want to enter the palace as a hostage, suffer all kinds of bullying, and rely on the pity of others to survive. Mingli is weak, and if I intervene even a little bit, I will be restless. You I was able to seal it for me, but because Uncle Huang made a mistake in his judgment, a letter came, and there was a clerical error. You didn't expect it before, did you?"
"At least in your plan, even if you will ask for a title for me in the future, it shouldn't be so fast, right?" Ming Zhan said, "But the opportunity is too rare. Even the emperor's uncle would like his son to inherit the township Although you don't like me for the southern throne, you still prefer me to inherit it compared to the princes."
Ming Zhan sighed quietly, the sky outside was completely dark, because it was the end of the month, there were many stars, under the black sky, glittering like jewels.
"I also have something wrong, because I know that I don't like you, so I hope to seize some rights and increase protection. I am afraid of making mistakes in everything, and I am uneasy. I am afraid that you will get caught and will finally get it Take back the rights." Ming Zhan laughed at himself, "The position is obviously unstable, but you still have to pretend to be a master, for fear of being looked down upon. It's really a shame. It will probably make people look down even more."
"I expected that you would ask me about this."
"Actually, no matter whether I admit it or not, you have already made up your mind." Ming Zhan said, "After all, in your mind, what kind of person I am, I will always be that kind of person."
"Even if I emphasize again that I have no intention of harming justice, you won't believe it. My scheming city is deeply rooted in your heart. Every time you think about it, you must have trouble sleeping and eating, right?" Ming Zhan He bowed his head and clasped his hands, "You need a strong heir, but you don't necessarily like such a son, and I don't like it either. In fact, no one likes to be born calculating."
"Back then, father, how did you ascend the throne of Zhennan King from an unfavored bastard, and the bloody storm... in front of you, what is my little trick worth?"
"Even, many things have no evidence, but you are still willing to imagine in that direction. You would rather kill the wrong than let it go. You are used to this way of thinking, so you don't need to ask me again. What do you think, I am in Ruan If you want to play a role in the family incident, then I will play that role." Ming Zhan sneered, "As for the purpose, I don't need to tell you, you can think of one, can't you?"
As soon as Ming Zhan finished speaking, he received a big slap on the head. He never knew that someone could slap someone with such power. He jumped out of the grand teacher's chair, and then turned over the mahogany chair on his body. He didn't I felt pain, but my head buzzed like it was run over by a locomotive, and when my eyes went dark, I lost consciousness.
