Chapter 1657 Renzijuan chaos, germination (5)
Seeing Wu Yaoqing walking towards her in a hurry, Feng Ziying knew that something must have happened again.
However, he has been mentally prepared, and he will not be surprised by anything that happens during the Autumn Festival in Tienwang Mountain.
Because I had a premonition that something would definitely happen during this period, and it wouldn't be just one thing, or even something surprising, but something big that would shock both the inside and outside. That would be In line with your own hunch and expectations.
Ignoring Wu Yaoqing's solemn look, Feng Ziying returned to the official hat chair and sat down, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
Wu Yaoqing also realized that he had lost his composure. After calming down a little, he bowed his hands and said, "Sir, the situation in Yizhou has been found out."
"Yizhou?" Feng Ziying was stunned. She couldn't think of when she was going to check the situation in Yizhou?
"Sir, it's Miss Qingwen's 'parents' in your house. Didn't they arrange to go to Yizhou to investigate? Now there is news back..." Wu Yaoqing felt even more surprised when he saw that Feng Ziying had forgotten.
Fortunately, I did not relax on this matter and kept an eye on it. I sent two groups of people, and there were also people from the Shuntian Prefecture Hufang, so Yizhou reluctantly cooperated with the investigation.
Because of the need to keep secrets, even Wu Yaoqing could tell that Feng Ziying had an unusual attitude towards the pretty girl next to Grandma Shen, so he was unwilling to cause unnecessary trouble without any basis.
The person next to your boss is often the most difficult to deal with. Wu Yaoqing, who is well versed in the world, knows this better than anyone else. He knew it when he first investigated the situation of the Miaoyu girl.
"Oh?" Upon hearing Wu Yaoqing's tone, Feng Ziying knew that something must have happened. Otherwise, everything was really normal. There would be no need for such an attitude. Moreover, it seemed that the situation was not simple. "Tell me, is there another problem? , I am mentally prepared.”
Feng Ziying's heart also sank, not because she was afraid of anything, but because she was thinking about how to deal with Qingwen in the future. She had finally done something to please Qingwen, but now there was trouble. She didn't know how big the trouble was. .
"There is indeed a problem. Your Excellency sent a letter to Yizhou to assist in the investigation. At first, no one paid much attention to it, and even left it there for a while. Later, I don’t know who found the letter, so they responded. But according to our follow-up According to the investigation, girl Qingwen’s parents are indeed from Yizhou. Her parents are also here, but they have not received any notification. They are still living in the countryside of Yizhou..."
Wu Yaoqing’s words did not surprise Feng Ziying. He believed there was more to it than that.
If you just want to pretend to be an official relative, well, if Qingwen is taken over by you, you can barely count her as an official relative. At most, it is just a fraud. However, when these two people entered the house, everything behaved very normally, even better than If the imagination is more normal and better, and there is no sign of any financial gain at all, then I'm afraid it won't be that simple.
"Oh, that means these two people pretended to be Qingwen's parents and got into my house? What's their intention?" Feng Ziying nodded, "Are there any suspicions about these two people?"
"Now, my subordinates don't know what their intentions are, but these two people obviously didn't come here for profit. After so long, everything is normal. I arranged for someone to sneak into his room while they were helping out and investigate. There are no other abnormalities in their food, clothing, and home furnishings. The two of them usually behave too normally, or rather too well, to be different from ordinary country farmers, so this is not normal." Wu Yaoqing pondered for a moment, and then said: "But the Yizhou White Lotus Sect It is quite powerful and very popular in the countryside.”
"Do you suspect that they are members of the White Lotus Sect?" Feng Ziying was a little uneasy now. The White Lotus Sect has infiltrated into his house. Is it unbearable? "Do they two have any skills?"
“It’s not Lian Jiazi. If he is Lian Jiazi, he can’t hide it from us, and I’m afraid he won’t be able to sneak into the master’s house.” Wu Yaoqing replied firmly: “If they really come here with a promise, they must have taken precautions in this regard.”
“What was found at Yizhou Prefectural Government Office?” Feng Ziying thought for a moment before asking, but he estimated that there was probably no result.
As expected, Wu Yaoqing shook his head: "We don't dare to expose it, so as not to alert the snake. The Yizhou Prefectural Government Office is very chaotic, and the care center is similar. There may be mistakes anywhere, so unless a high-profile investigation is carried out, otherwise It is difficult to find clues, and even if there is a thorough investigation, there are no less than twenty people in Yizhou Prefecture’s Yamen who have access to this official letter. It is very difficult to identify the real perpetrators.”
It is very simple to deal with these two people. They are not Lianjiazi, and they can be sent into their own house. Their performance is so "excellent", I am afraid that they are at least the backbone of the White Lotus Sect.
I wonder if I can dig out anything after taking it down?
But what was their purpose in entering their own mansion? An assassination attempt? Not quite.
The division of labor among the servants in the Feng Mansion is very clear. Qingwen's "parents" only do some chores, such as making bricks and tending flowers and plants, and they don't get close to the inner courtyard at all.
Moreover, Feng Ziying paid special attention to food. He had dedicated personnel responsible for it, as well as people responsible for supervision and inspection. Labor is not valuable these days, and there are already a lot of people in the house, so they can make full use of it.
So it is almost impossible to poison someone like in the novel and play.
What Feng Ziying can think of is probably to lurk for a long time, as a chess piece scattered in his lair, to control his own movements for future use.
But for me, this is also a reversible chess piece.
Although it is not yet certain what they want to master, if one or two smart people are placed around the two of them, and they can slowly get closer to observe or even interact with each other, some clues may be dug out.
Even if you can reveal some information to the other party at a critical moment to form a misjudgment, it may have a big effect.
"Yao Qing, what do you think is better now?" Feng Ziying stood up and stretched his muscles, "If they are really people from the White Lotus Sect, that would be interesting. It doesn't look like they are here to prepare for an assassination. Or maybe I think that if you place a heavy bet on me, you might get bigger gains?"
"Sir, it's hard to say whether it is the White Lotus Sect, but it is very likely. According to our investigation, the power of the White Lotus Sect has expanded rapidly in the Northland in recent years. Almost every drought and refugee wave is caused by the White Lotus. This is the best opportunity for the spread of Christianity. We also made an incomplete and inaccurate statistics in the capital city through Ni Er. Starting from the first year of Yonglong, a wave of refugees poured into the capital city almost every two to three years. Basically, It is related to the drought in the north. In the second year of Yonglong, more than 10,000 people settled in and around the capital city. In the sixth year of Yonglong, floods and droughts intersected, and there was another wave. In the seventh year of Yonglong, it was about the same. In other words, in the past ten years, Approximately close to 60,000 people entered the capital and inside and outside the capital city. Divided by region, Beizhi accounted for less than 70%, Shanxi accounted for 20%, Shandong accounted for 10%, and Henan accounted for about half..."
Wu Yaoqing originally planned to have a good talk with Feng Ziying on this matter, "These areas are all areas where the White Lotus Sect is very rampant, especially Beizhi and Shanxi. In comparison, Shandong is not even considered ,…”
Feng Ziying shook her head: "Yao Qing, the White Lotus Sect is still rampant in Shandong, but it has a different name, Eastern Mahayana Sect, Wuwei Sect, these names are all used..."
"Well, the situation is similar in the entire Northland." Wu Yaoqing nodded and admitted, "However, the expansion has been particularly prominent in the North and South China in the past two years, and even more so in the hinterland of Gyeonggi Province. My subordinates are worried that you have been targeted by the White Lotus Sect, and they may not want to Assassinate the adults, or find it difficult to assassinate, so they change their ways and use other means to slowly get closer to the adults. They may even think that if they can bury one or two hidden characters beside the adults, they will be able to play a more useful role as the adults' status changes in the future. The effect is greater. After all, even if the master is assassinated and someone is replaced as the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture, I am afraid that as the power of the White Lotus Sect expands, the court will take measures sooner or later. If the master's movements can be firmly grasped through hidden stakes, , wouldn’t it be better to even influence certain court strategies through adults?”
"Influence?" Feng Ziying laughed dumbly, "They have sent people to assassinate me, do they still expect me to be lenient to them or even change their ways?"
"My lord, even if you can't change your attitude, it is very valuable to understand the court's attitude towards them through you, which is far better than assassinating you." Wu Yaoqing disagreed with Feng Ziying's absoluteness, " Besides, the White Lotus Sect has a lot of tricks to deceive people. Maybe they think they can still do what you want, such as..."
Feng Ziying was stunned and didn’t understand for a while, “Like what?”
Wu Yaoqing coughed dryly, as if he wanted to avoid the topic, but he thought it might not be a bad thing to remind him, "Well, as far as this matter is concerned, you probably like Miss Qingwen very much. Maybe they have also investigated and found out about you. The relationship with Rongguo Mansion is too close, and there are thousands of people in Rongguo Mansion, and they are not prepared for this. It is too easy for them to find, train or win over a few people in Rongguo Mansion. Through the people there It’s not difficult to understand your preferences and habits.”
Feng Ziying suddenly realized it and felt a little embarrassed.
Wu Yaoqing was hinting that his **** for women was a major weakness. After the White Lotus Sect noticed this, it might not be unable to set traps in a targeted way. Even as Wu Yaoqing said, there were one or two thousand people in the Rongning Jia family. , there are a lot of girls and maids inside, no matter what methods they use, if they can make one or two of them submit, and then find a way to deliver it to their mouths, as long as they swallow the bait themselves, they may be able to work wonders.
