Chapter 1356 Xin Zijuan The grass tree bows its head in the setting sun
Feng Ziying was completely unaware of Jia She's "conspiracy".
Of course, Jia She was not the only one who came to the door. From the Jia family alone, in addition to Jia She, there was also Jia Rong, which shows the wide range of interests involved in Xishan Kiln.
However, Jia Rong is much more self-aware than Jia She. He just came to ask a question, and Feng Ziying's attitude was clear, so Jia Rong stopped talking and talked about other things, which made Feng Ziying's impression of Jia Rong improve a lot.
Even Ping'er went to the house again to ask for information. Fortunately, he was quite knowledgeable. He just asked and didn't say anything else. Feng Ziying didn't bother to say more.
But Jia She was begging for an hour in the house, trying every possible means to persuade Feng Ziying to attend a banquet. He didn't hide anything, he just said that he wanted to find an opportunity to explain Xishan Kiln. The real current situation, I implore Feng Ziying to make an objective judgment.
Of course Feng Ziying would not go to such a banquet. Not to mention that he had no intention of moving the Xishan Kiln yet. Even if he wanted to do so, it would be even more impossible for him to go to the banquet. As for the specific objective situation, he had many ways to understand it, so how could he use it? Are you asking for trouble in such a low-key way?
Jia She came back angrily, and Feng Ziying didn't bother to pay attention to him. He really thought he was going to be famous because he gave him some color, and if he was allowed to touch the wall a few more times, he would feel more at ease. Although Feng Ziying had deep feelings in his heart. I still feel that this **** can't change his habit of eating shit.
"I have met Mr. Fu Cheng." Feng Ziying stepped in and couldn't help but secretly praise this extraordinary man. Although she had never seen Concubine Zheng, she could tell from the appearance and demeanor of Commander Zheng in front of her. If Concubine Zheng looks similar to her brother, it's no wonder she was selected as the concubine, but it's a pity.
“You’re welcome, Mr. Zheng.” Feng Ziying returned the greeting with a faint cup of her hand, and raised her hand to signal the other party to take a seat.
He has sharp eyebrows, a straight nose, slightly high cheekbones, and bright eyes. He walks vigorously and vigorously. He looks about thirty-seven or eighteen years old. He is wearing a milky white casual suit with arrow sleeves with clouds and thunder patterns. In modern times, he looks like a middle-aged man. Handsome young man.
After staying up for so long, the Zheng family refused to bow their heads even if Qiu Shi'an took the lead. Feng Ziying was not in a hurry and had free time to wait for the results of the investigation from Tongzhou to Hangzhou.
Fang Kezhuang is still very capable. He arranged for capable personnel to re-investigate the Lifu, and some details were slowly figured out.
The Hangzhou businessman should have arrived five or six years ago. Although his whereabouts are elusive, he still left some clues in Tongzhou.
For example, he is engaged in Huzhu business. Logically speaking, Huzhu business is generally dominated by merchants from Suzhou, Changzhou and Huzhou around Taihu Lake, and merchants from Hangzhou are rare. Moreover, Huzhu is mainly related to the jewelry business in Beijing. These jewelry businesses The industry is a big buyer of lake beads, and of course the richest people in the palace and some wealthy families in Beijing will also buy some lake beads as their own customized jewelry.
I thought this merchant was very low-key and didn’t know much about him from various businesses in Beijing. Finally, I got some information through a person who had been a jewelry broker. I learned that this person’s surname was Nan. Although he settled in Hangzhou, his ancestral home was Huzhou.
With such a situation and the fact that the surname Nan is rare, clues quickly emerged in Hangzhou. The man named Nan who settled in Hangzhou and his ancestral home in Huzhou was called Nan Yiyuan. The Nan family was also a well-known squire in Huzhou. family, and the Nan family and the Zheng family are also cousins.
This Zheng family is the Zheng family where Concubine Zheng lives. Her father was a military attaché in Hangzhou and was later transferred back to Beijing. Although he was not a military officer, he was also a military attache from the third generation.
In this way, the situation is roughly clear. Nan Yiyuan, Zheng and Concubine Zheng are cousins. Nan Yiyuan's two aunts are the mother and aunt of Zheng and Concubine Zheng. Well, what surprised Feng Ziying was that the Nan family A pair of sisters also married into the Zheng family and became wives and concubines. Commander Zheng and Concubine Zheng were the children of their legitimate mothers, while the Zheng family was the daughter of that concubine.
Although it is not certain what the relationship between Nan Yiyuan and the Zheng family is, there is no doubt that Nan Yiyuan hurriedly left Beijing and returned to Hangzhou the day after that night.
If you add in the murder of Su Daqiang that night, Nan Yiyuan's suspicion will rise rapidly. No matter where he was that night, he can't escape the suspicion.
Although the Hangzhou government did not take him into prison directly, they ordered him to be kept at home and await summons for investigation at any time.
This was also what Feng Ziying had discussed with Fang Kezhuang. It was unlikely that Nan Yiyuan would kill anyone. It was more likely that he had some connection with the Zheng family. As expected, the cousin, well, might have some shortcomings. Hidden secrets for outsiders.
Now Commander Zheng is finally here. Although he may be reluctant in his heart, he still came.
"Sir Feng, I originally thought that with your wisdom, you should know that this case was unlikely to be committed by my cousin. I didn't expect that you would go to Hangzhou and go to Hangzhou to find out the truth. My cousin My brother is also useless. Oh, what an injustice..."
"Master Zheng, you should understand my difficulty. It is such a big matter. Although Master Fang and I both think that your cousin is unlikely, when investigating a case, we must focus on one piece of evidence and exclude him. You have to provide evidence to convince the public. He ran back to Hangzhou in a hurry. Didn't he fall into suspicion? What do insiders think?" Feng Ziying smiled, "These situations are not between me and Mr. Fang. You know, many people in the Fu Yamen and Tongzhou Prefecture Yamen also know about it. You also know that these bad things in the Yamen cannot be kept secret, and they will leak out sooner or later, so the only way to solve it is to explain the matter clearly to yourself. I can only promise to keep my personal privacy as confidential as possible, and I also ask Mr. Zheng to understand my difficulties..."
Feng Ziying spoke very politely. He knew that Zheng Chongjun was not a simple man. He was a military attache of the third generation, and he was also a martial arts scholar. He had great strategy and superb martial arts skills. Otherwise, he would not have been able to become the commander of the North City Army and Horses Division in his thirties. position.
Zheng Chongjun is also a straightforward person. Now that he is here, he does not hide anything anymore and directly talks about the topic in one breath.
Indeed, as Feng Ziying expected, Nan Yiyuan and Zheng were cousins and had grown up together. However, Zheng's father did not think highly of Nan Yiyuan at first, thinking that Nan Yiyuan was weak, could not study well, and was far away from home. Hangzhou, so he promised the Zheng family to the Su family. As a result, Nan Yiyuan was also infatuated and never got married. He often traveled between the capital and Hangzhou, and later became involved with the Zheng family.
Neither Zheng nor Nan Yiyuan concealed the situation that night. Zheng Chongjun, the current head of the Zheng family, told the truth.
Originally, Su Daqiang said he wanted to sleep on the pier to avoid getting up too early the next morning, so Nan Yiyuan came to Su's house early. Unexpectedly, Su Daqiang came back during dinner and said he wanted to sleep before leaving. Nan Yiyuan was blocked. At home, he hid in the wall of a small house until Su Daqiang got up and left in the early morning of the next day, and then came out to meet Zheng.
Unexpectedly, when the two mandarin ducks were enjoying themselves, the boat owner knocked on the door, shocking the pair of mandarin ducks to death...
Later, after learning that Su Daqiang was missing, Nan Yiyuan felt that something was wrong, so he quickly returned to Hangzhou.
"Master Feng, I know it's hard for you to believe it just based on my family's words, but it is indeed the case. You must have a way to prove it. I have also mentioned my worries before about what happened between Nan Yiyuan and my concubine sister. , I didn’t agree with my father at first. If the two of them got married, it would have been a good thing for them to get married, but now it has become like this and it has become a scandal for the Zheng family..."
"Understood." Of course Feng Ziying understands that this kind of thing is inevitable in such a big family. Well, it seems that she is not very glorious here. There are already a lot of women in the house tomorrow morning, and she is still thinking about them. Sister Feng’s body?
The affair between Zheng and Nan Yiyuan is unacceptable in both modern and ancient times, especially in this era. Of course, Commander Zheng is not doing it for his concubine sister, but is more worried about this kind of scandal. It affects his biological sister who is a concubine in the palace. If someone else gets the handle, they can naturally use it as a blackmail. However, he happens to be inextricably related to the virtuous concubine Jia Yuanchun's family, so This was what troubled Zheng Chongjun the most, and it was also the reason why he was unwilling to bow his head before.
But now the situation has developed to the point that if he doesn't bow his head, he may expose the matter. By then, it will probably cause an uproar, spread to the palace and even the ears of the emperor, and it will become the target of countless people to criticize his biological sister. This is Zheng Chongjun Intolerable.
Under such circumstances, he could only take the initiative to seek a result that would avoid the Zheng family's reputation being affected as much as possible, or even affecting his sister in the palace.
"Understand? Mr. Feng, Ming people don't tell secrets. I don't want the affairs of Su Zheng and Nan Yiyuan to affect the Zheng family and other people in the Zheng family, so I am also willing to let Nan Yiyuan and Su Zheng cooperate with the government. Investigate and find out what happened to them that night to prove that they were not involved in the murder of Su Daqiang, but please Master Feng can find a way to avoid such scandals from spreading... If Master Feng has any use for Zheng in the future, as long as Zheng can do anything and obey orders..."
Feng Ziying was also a little moved by being able to force the commander to say such words.
As far as he knew, Commander Zheng was not a simple person. The Beicheng Army and Horse Department was the strongest among the five cities, and the one with the most rigorous management. Even the Ministry of War and the Metropolitan Procuratorate were full of praise for this person. , it is said that the emperor also intends to let him serve in the Beijing camp.
Furthermore, Shuntian Prefecture has a lot of dealings with the Wucheng Army and Horses Division, and I will rely on each other in many places in the future, especially in terms of public security in the capital.
