Chapter 862 Jizijuan’s wise move (please vote for me!)
Feng Ziying noticed the strange expressions of the two women who were hesitant to speak, and was quite curious.
His impression of Xing Xiuyan is that she is a very straightforward girl, very organized in her work, and very sincere in her treatment of others. Because of this, he has always admired this girl, and he is also very happy that Miaoyu has such a close friend.
But today Miaoyu is just that. Even Feng Ziying is a little confused about what this arrogant girl who is mixed with pride and inferiority is thinking in her heart. Maybe there are some unrealistic fantasies, or maybe there are some unrealistic fantasies. She has some inexplicable emotions about her situation. In short, she is a girl with a mixture of complex emotions. This has a lot to do with her background and fate.
But Xing Xiuyan shouldn't be like this. He can talk to himself calmly about anything.
"What's wrong? You two are acting a little strange today. What happened? Is it the turmoil in Rongguo Mansion? I shouldn't have anything to do with you." Feng Ziying looked at the two girls carefully. asked curiously.
Xing Xiuyan has been thinking about how to speak.
Miaoyu was in a complicated mood and was a little reluctant to talk about this matter to outsiders, but Xing Xiuyan felt that this was not an ordinary kidnapping or misunderstanding. There should be something deeper in it. At least the other party asked the two of them not to spread the word. Obviously It was aimed at Feng Ziying.
So maybe Feng Ziying can guess or find out the other party's background. Knowing the other party's origin will at least make people feel more at ease.
When Feng Ziying brought up this topic, Xing Xiuyan and the others only found out about it yesterday. There was a lot of noise the night before. Miaoyu lived in Luxueguang in Xiuyan. They were all stunned. They only knew that something happened in the mansion. Yesterday, the mansion It's boiling and the sky is full.
Lai Dalai Eryi's family and even the relatives and servants who had anything to do with them were all captured. Those who were in charge of the woodshed were locked in the woodshed, and those who were locked in the barn were locked in the barn.
It is said that Lai Er in Ningguo Mansion was so **** that Uncle Xiao Rong was bleeding like a gourd, and he was still clamoring to send Lai Er and his family to see the official.
The situation is similar here in Rongguo Mansion. Although Lai Da was not beaten, it is said that he was hungry for a day without water and rice, and he was almost paralyzed, which made Grandma Lai almost go blind from crying at her ancestor's side.
Everyone pushed against the wall. Early this morning, it was said that there were at least twenty or thirty people lining up at Wu Xingdeng's side to report the Lai family. They all planned to get some benefits from the collapse of the Lai family.
"Brother Feng also knows that something happened in the house?" Xing Xiuyan was also a little surprised to see Feng Ziying's confident look.
"Well, Shibo Shi, Brother Zhen, and Brother Rui all told me before, saying that it cost hundreds of thousands to build the garden, and now the mansion can no longer support it. Unexpectedly, there are still some slaves who are willing to take advantage of others and refuse to do so. He let go and said that he planned to do a thorough investigation and asked me to find someone to help with the investigation outside. I agreed. Yesterday, I heard that the government was struggling a lot and gained a lot. It could finally make the government a little more comfortable. ."
Feng Ziying didn't hide anything and told the situation calmly.
"Huh?" Xing Xiuyan and Miaoyu couldn't help but exclaimed. They didn't expect that this matter was also related to Feng Ziying. Now, does the Jia family even report the investigation of their own affairs to Brother Feng?
"So Brother Feng has known about the things in the house for a long time?" Xing Xiuyan felt a little complicated, "Are all the things about the Lai family true?"
"Sister Xiuyan, let me ask you, Lai Dan was able to spend 10,000 to 20,000 taels of silver to donate an official position to fill the vacancy for his son. Even your cousin Jia Lian was only willing to spend 5,000 taels of silver to donate a false title of Tongzhi. If you dare to spend eighteen thousand taels to get your son a real county magistrate, from the perspective of an outsider, who is your uncle or Lai Da? Isn’t Lai Da’s annual income more powerful than your uncle, a third-rank general? The income is several times higher? Even your aunt is jealous and envious of Lai’s daughter-in-law’s hidden power, but your aunt still has a job.”
Xing Xiuyan was also shocked by Feng Ziying's words.
In the garden before, I only knew that the Lai family had been captured. It was said that a lot of money was found in the house. Wu Xingdeng and Shan Daliang are still settling accounts now, just to see what the Lai family has learned from the Jia family in the past few decades. How much money had been obtained, but they both heard the news that the official had spent eighteen thousand taels of silver at one time. Except for some people in charge, no one in the government knew.
“Brother Feng, are you telling the truth?” Xing Xiuyan said.
"Can there be any leave? Lai Shangrong is ready to take office, and he is just waiting for the official letter." Feng Ziying sneered, "This is really preparing for a phoenix to fly out of the crow's nest. It's a pity that the money came from the wrong way. , then I can only apologize."
Xing Xiuyan no longer has any sympathy for the Lai family at this time. From what Brother Feng said, the money embezzled by the Lai family from the Jia family must be more than one or twenty thousand taels. No wonder Brother Feng said that the house can be more relaxed in the future.
"Well, Xiuyan and Miaoyu, it seems you didn't come here to inquire about this matter, right? Is there anything else?" Feng Ziying realized that the two girls were not here because of the Lai family's affairs, so she asked directly: "Yes Isn’t it hard to talk about what’s going on here?”
"No, Brother Feng, Sister Miaoyu and I were both frightened and surprised when we met this matter. We didn't know what was going on here, so we thought about it and decided that we should talk to Brother Feng. Please come. Being a judge can also put Sister Miaoyu and I at ease."
Xing Xiuyan then told in detail what happened the day before yesterday.
Feng Ziying became more and more shocked the more she listened.
If it is according to what Xiuyan said, that group of people can even enter and leave Muni Yuan easily, but the nuns in Muni Yuan actually don't bother much, which shows that this group of people must have a certain background.
“Xiuyan, you said that you later entered a courtyard with a Jiangnan garden pattern?” Feng Ziying asked in a deep voice.
"Well, although we were blindfolded, the little girl could still feel the distance the carriage traveled. It was not too far. It was either in the city or on the outskirts of the city. The little girl even thought that she might not have left the city, but They took a detour." Xing Xiuyan said with certainty: "Although the courtyard of the mansion is not very large, like a separate courtyard, and no one lives in it, the decoration inside is extremely exquisite..."
Two carriages came specifically to kidnap people. The villas in the city were still in the Jiangnan garden style. With such a distinguished family, Feng Ziying felt that there could only be no more than thirty families in the capital city, right?
Feng Ziying thinks there can be no more than ten civil servants with such a ranking, including those who have become officials, but Feng Ziying can almost rule it out directly. No civil servant would be so wanton and rampant in cultivating people in the world. This style is quite different. It is highly likely that he will be a martial artist or a general.
If you count among the four kings and eight princes in Wu Xun, it is estimated that there are six or seven families that have this possibility in theory, but if you really want to break them down one by one, there are only a few.
At most, it is unlikely that the Prince of Beijing, Prince of Nan'an, Prince of Dongping and Prince of Xining are among the four kings. Prince Dongping currently has almost no such person in his house, and Prince Xining, whose mother has passed away, is currently It is impossible to be like this during the hot filial period.
Among the Eight Dukes, except for the Niu family of Zhenguo, the family of Duke Xiu, and the Chen family of Qi State, the other families do not have this confidence, and even the Chen family is unlikely. Feng Ziying knows that those cats and dogs in his house do not have that ability. Dare to do such a thing.
The problem is that Feng Ziying feels that none of these four princes and eight princes are so arrogant. Can the prince of Beijing County do such a thing? I'm afraid he prefers masculine style. A few juniors in the Nan'an County Prince's Palace were a bit arrogant, but Feng Ziying didn't think so. As for the Eighth Princes, they also lacked sufficient reasons.
Although Miaoyu and Xing Xiuyan are very beautiful, it is a bit exaggerated to say that these warriors took such a big risk to do such a thing.
As for the generals in the Beijing camp, they did have this ability, but they were not able to own this Jiangnan-style house. Thinking of this, Feng Ziying was basically able to determine who Xing Xiu Yanzhui suspected that the young master belonged to.
No wonder he gave in when he heard his name. He is considered a sensible person.
The princes and princes of the Zhou Dynasty are no better than those of the previous Ming Dynasty. They are similar to those of the previous Song Dynasty. They are not only watched by the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but also suspicious of the emperor. In short, it is not that easy. Of course, you can turn into a dragon and become the emperor. , that's another matter, so the princes are slightly better, but the princes are quite miserable.
"Xiuyan, Miaoyu, I know this. Where are they from? Although I don't know which family they are, I know their general direction. After a little inquiry, I can understand that the situations you are worried about should be Won’t show up.”
Feng Ziying's determined attitude made both Xing Xiuyan and Miaoyu sigh with relief.
Even though they were hiding in Jia's Mansion, they were still a little afraid. After all, those people were elusive. Unless they never left the gate of Jia's Mansion, it would be really hard to tell if something like that happened in front of Muni Courtyard again.
“Brother Feng, where did those people come from?” Miaoyu couldn’t help but ask.
Even though Xing Xiuyan didn't ask, she wanted to know.
Feng Ziying shook his head. He would not tell the other party. This would only increase the pressure on the two female disciples and was meaningless. "I only know the general whereabouts of them. I can't tell the rest, but I am sure they will not harass you again. Just relax.”
It wasn’t until the two girls were sent away that Feng Ziying began to taste it.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Yonglong's sons were not easy-going. It was taboo to make friends with people in the world of politics. Doing such a thing would make people look down upon him. However, the fact that the other party could turn around so decisively made Feng Ziying look down on him. A few points ahead of the opponent.
It's not that these people in the world are worthless. Crying chickens and dog thieves can also play a big role when used on joints and eyes, and Feng Ziying will not take it lightly.
Just as you are competing for the position of Dabao, at least when you recruit these people, you should be more low-key and secretive, and you should not use it on joints, let alone such things.
It is conceivable that the princes have begun to recruit such people in the world, which means that these people have really begun to plan their own paths.
No one will easily withdraw from this battle for the top position, especially when no one has obvious advantages and disadvantages, this competition will become more intense and all-round.
Perhaps after the other party learns that the two girls have something to do with him, he will take the risk of being found out by himself and send the second girl back, instead of taking the risk of killing someone and being found out. In a sense, This is still a gesture of goodwill, and it is enough to show that the other party has carefully considered it.
The difference between them is enough to explain a lot.
Thinking of this, Feng Ziying couldn't help but shake her head. It seemed that it was really a wise move for her to leave the capital city.
