Chapter 2238 Gui Zi Juan confessed before leaving, but asked to return to Beijing
By the time the official document regarding Feng Ziying’s appointment and removal was delivered to Xi’an, it was already early September, while Zhao Nanxing’s appointment and removal document was half a month earlier.
Li Tengfang took over as the chief envoy to the left, which meant that within one month, Feng Ziying and Zhao Nanxing would hand over all their work to Li Tengfang.
Zhao Nanxing is quite cool, and is used to being the shopkeeper with a wave of hands, clapped his hands and left, but Feng Ziying is not the same.
The governor's Yamen basically assumed a considerable part of the responsibilities and affairs of the Chief Envoy before, but now they have to be returned to the Chief Envoy. As the right Chief Envoy has not yet arrived, there is only Li Tengfang.
Fortunately, Pan Ruzhen got started quickly. Although he was only a counselor, he had been the prefect of Yan'an Prefecture for many years and was very familiar with the affairs below, so he quickly became Li Tengfang's right-hand assistant.
There are just a few tasks that deserve Feng Ziying's attention and attention. One is the issue of autumn grain after the summer harvest. The effectiveness of potato and sweet potato planting promotion will determine whether the situation in Shaanxi can further improve on a stable basis this winter and next spring. The importance of this point is Li. Teng Fang, Feng Ziying and even Pan Ruzhen all understood.
Second, it is the issue of industrial and commercial development. The entry of Shanxi merchants has achieved some results in Xi'an Prefecture. The coal and iron resources of Hancheng and Baishui have begun to be developed. In addition, the cement industry has also begun to set up in Xi'an, Fengxiang, and Hanzhong. Although it is still early and there are not many clues. , but this has a beginning after all. With such a big market in Shaanxi Province, Feng Ziying firmly believes that as long as it is managed well, the results will be seen in one or two years, especially with the market demand of several border towns in three sides and four towns. .
The third is to continue to rectify the Shaanxi Dusi Guards. The Xi'an Guards, Tufeng Battalion, Yueshan Battalion, and City Destroying Battalion, which already have a certain foundation, are the armies within the Guard system that Feng Ziying values very much. When all the elites from the three sides and four towns have been mobilized, these troops This army will play a big role in the future.
The fourth step is to further purge Shaanxi's officialdom, but this is a long process, and Feng Ziying will not be able to intervene in depth later, so he can only use his own strength.
The closer she got to leaving, the more Feng Ziying became uneasy.
The Qin Keqing and Shui Mu families were silent, and even Shi Xiangyun rarely came to the mansion. This made Feng Ziying a little suspicious that Shi Xiangyun also knew something.
But in this situation, Feng Ziying was a little confused.
When she returned to her mansion and the drunkenness had passed, she slowly recalled every detail of the situation. Feng Ziying really felt that she was not completely caught in a trap. At least at that time, she was enjoying the wine and was intoxicated.
The Mu Liu family’s tunes are welcoming, the Shui Zhen family is eager to welcome but refuse, and the greenness of Mu Tan and Shuitang are too young to be criticized, all of which can evoke endless reverie.
Feng Ziying was even a little surprised to find that she seemed to be a bit like a thief, and she still couldn't forget the taste of that day. Sometimes she even tasted different tastes while holding Bao Qin and Qingwen. , This really means that a wife is worse than a concubine, and a concubine is worse than being stolen.
Of course Feng Ziying is not really thinking about it so much that she can't control herself and has to try it again, but she keeps this matter in her heart and never throws it away.
He doesn't know if Qin Keqing will come to him if he continues like this. He can even figure out some of Qin Keqing's thoughts, which is that he seems to be unable to let go. Does this look high or low on him?
This is more like a wrestling game of wills to see who can hold on more steadily. However, the gap in status between the two parties is not on the same level at all. This seems to have become a moral constraint, forcing Feng Ziying to It was necessary to respond, which made Feng Ziying very depressed and angry.
It has been so many years since I traveled to this world, and I think that I have no plan left. I have never been tricked by others. This is the first time that I have been kidnapped by morality.
The key is that this is still a strange way to kidnap herself. Even Feng Ziying herself can't figure out whether she is making a lot of money or whether others think it is worth it.
But Feng Ziying knew that she needed to settle the matter when she left Shaanxi. She really couldn't do such a thing when she lifted up her pants and refused to admit it. Even if this kind of thing smelled a bit like taking a bait, it was her own fault anyway. Things cannot be denied, and Qin Keqing seems to have settled on his own mentality and style.
September 15th is the time when Feng Ziying is leaving. According to the document requirements from the Ministry of Officials, the handover must be completed and returned to Beijing within ten days.
"It has nothing to do with me. I just provided them with an opportunity. They think it is worth taking the risk. Otherwise, once their uncle leaves, they will have no chance and will only become the playthings of the local dignitaries in Xi'an. I believe that my uncle will also If you can understand this truth,..."
Qin Keqing bit her lips, her eyebrows were watery, and her eyes were even filled with affection. This made Feng Ziying even more horrified. Is this woman's mentality a little abnormal?
“I promise to give all the greetings that need to be said before I leave, and the envoy will not make things difficult for them,…”
Qin Keqing reached out to hold Feng Ziying's hand that was about to take it back, and her tone became gentler, "Uncle, are you kidding yourself? Uncle understands better than anyone that tea is cool when people leave. Now that you are gone, how can you still care about Xi'an's affairs?" A lifetime? It will gradually fade away in three to five months, and completely disappear from memory in two or three years. How can someone like my uncle, who is busy with important matters in the DPRK after returning to Beijing, still remember who he greeted and cared for two or three years ago? A group of miserable people who don’t have much contact with each other?”
Feng Ziying was speechless. Qin Keqing was right. How could she spend too much time on a group of people with whom she had little contact?
Saying hello is considered a gesture of friendship, but after two or three years, it has long been forgotten.
"So you are going to use this method to make me interact with them?" Feng Ziying smiled half-heartedly, and grabbed Qin Keqing's wrist, "Don't you think this way of interacting is too outrageous?"
"It doesn't matter to them whether they are out of line or not, because without your protection, sooner or later they will become the playthings of those evil people, and even the subordinates in the Prison Department will get involved and humiliate them. For uncle, this is also It’s nothing out of the ordinary, if their uncle can help them, it can be considered a blessing for them. For them, it will be a blessing for them to have their uncle take care of them in the future.”
Qin Keqing's words seemed so relaxed and natural, as if everything was taken for granted and there was no discomfort at all.
For women, unless they are really determined to seek death, nothing else is really a big problem, because they can predict what their future destiny will be like after losing Feng Ziying's care, so there is nothing worthwhile about it. What about those who care about it?
I have to say that Qin Keqing is telling the truth. Losing her virginity and virginity may sound shocking and unacceptable, but isn't this the outcome they will definitely face after Feng Ziying leaves Shaanxi? Then it seems acceptable to tie Feng Ziying in this way.
Even if it is a mistake in judgment and Feng Ziying is ruthless, it will only happen sooner or later, so what is there to hesitate about?
At least Qin Keqing's judgment is quite accurate, Feng Ziying can't do this yet.
Thinking of this, Feng Ziying could only pinch Qin Keqing's dimple, sighed, sat back, and said lazily: "Tell me, what do they want? Don't make any unrealistic demands. I won’t try if I can’t do it, it’s pointless.”
"They are also from official families, how can they not understand propriety?" Qin Keqing could finally breathe a sigh of relief at this time, "What they want is to return to the capital. After all, that is the place they are most familiar with. Xi'an is important to them. He said that he was in a deserted world, that he had no relatives, and that he said some rude words. If he returns to the capital, he can make a living as a slave, but he can still find a more suitable family, right?"
Feng Ziying frowned. Qin Keqing put it simply. Is it so easy to return to Beijing?
A group of convict women were sent to exile. According to the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, they should stay in the exile place for the rest of their lives. There was no reason or basis for them to return to Beijing.
Even if there is a general amnesty, it may not fall on them. If you take a step back and pardon your sins, you will not be able to return to the capital without special reasons, not to mention that it is difficult for the men of the Shui Mu family to obtain pardon. If you return What can Kyo do?
"But Qing, you should understand that their identities are different from you, Girl Yun. You can also predict the outcome of the Shui Mu family. It won't be too good. No matter what the final outcome of the Jiangnan incident is, the Shui Mu family will be in trouble. You can't get away with it, so you are posing a difficult problem for me."
Feng Ziying was very calm, "At least now I can't get them back to the capital, because there is no reason or basis, and I can't help them even if I want to. Who can I turn to? Dali Temple? The Metropolitan Procuratorate, Long Jinwei, or the Ministry of Punishment? Forget it. After all, we can only go to Dali Temple, but Dali Temple will definitely ask, since a group of convict women have been sent to exile, why should they return to Beijing?..."
Qin Keqing also understands this, "They don't have the luxury of returning to Beijing right away. They just hope that uncle, you can remember that they are still here, and if there is a chance, help them..."
“Ke Qing, where do you think the opportunity is?” Feng Ziying asked.
Qin Keqing sighed, "I don't know, that's why they are willing to place their hopes on you, or bet on you. If you can't do it, then who can do it?"
