Chapter 1349: The battles inside and outside the Caosh

Chapter 1349 Xin Zijuan The fighting inside and outside the Caoshu Palace in the setting sun

"Hey, when did Sister Feng start to be the judge of cases? What, why don't I, the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture, let her do it?" Feng Ziying humiliated her unceremoniously.

This Wang Xifeng is indeed a little presumptuous. Taking advantage of her relationship with her, she dares to touch her own bottom line like this. If she doesn't give it a good beating, it will really turn the world upside down.

"Master!" Ping'er was so anxious that her eye circles were red, and there were a few tears in her eyes, "Can't you just listen to what I have to say first? Grandma may have been a little domineering in the past, but wasn't she still like that at that time? Are you following me? Now that grandma only has me to rely on, how can she dare to violate it? With grandma’s intelligence, how come she doesn’t know the boundaries that I have drawn for her? "

Seeing Ping'er burst into tears and her face changed, Feng Ziying suppressed the anger in her heart. She couldn't blame Ping'er for this matter. She was also in the middle and was in trouble. He was angry with her, which seemed to be narrow-minded.

"Okay, Ping'er, I'm not talking about you, but after Sister Feng finished the redemption, I felt like she was a little distracted. Why, Jingji was so restless that she wanted to pick up her old profession again. To intervene in the proceedings…”

"No, Master, you really misunderstood. After grandma finished doing the pretense, she said she was too tired and wanted to take a rest. She didn't think about anything else at all. This is what someone came to see." Ping'er saw Feng Ziying. The tone of her words softened, and she quickly continued: "Grandma doesn't want to touch this kind of thing at all. He also knows that I am taboo about these things, but it is really difficult to shirk it, and I also made it clear that I only asked for one thing and did not ask for it. other?"

Feng Ziying looked at Ping'er coldly, "Just one sentence, is it that simple?"

"Really, how can I be willing to believe what I say?" Ping'er pursed her lips and looked directly at Feng Ziying, "Grandma didn't agree to any conditions, and she reluctantly agreed because of the previous friendship."

"Okay, I'm all ears. Let's hear who is planning to make some trouble here." Feng Ziying snorted coldly, "Ping'er, no matter what happens this time, go back and give Sister Feng a message. Well, don’t touch this kind of thing in the future. If you follow me, can I still let her starve to death? If she really wants to make a good living, I will think about it for her. Don’t think about it all day long and make such nonsense for me. Come."

Seeing Feng Ziying's gentle tone, Ping'er finally felt relieved and put down the hand that had been holding her heart. Before she could speak, Feng Ziying teased her again: "But Ping'er, the way you held your heart just now is pretty cool. It's okay." Do this action for me more."

Ping'er rolled his eyes at the other person, curled his lips and snorted. His previous violent aura almost scared him to death, but now he was still alive again.

 Ping'er then explained his purpose of coming.

 In fact, the situation is very simple. The Jiang Ziqi family received news that the newly arrived Shuntian Prefecture Prime Minister Xiao Feng Xiuzhuan wanted to re-investigate the Su Daqiang case and arrest all suspects. This also caused panic among a group of people.

The Jiang family is also a famous family in Miao County. If Jiang Ziqi is a direct descendant of the Jiang family, if he is detained by Shuntian Mansion, it will definitely have a great impact on the reputation of the Jiang family. People like Jiang Xuchuan and Jiang Ziliang are both from the Jiang family. Naturally I don't want to see this happen.

However, Jiang Xuchuan and Jiang Ziliang are also considered scholars from Beizhi. Naturally, they also know that Feng Ziying's appointment will inevitably require three new officials to take office. If they come forward rashly, they will definitely attract criticism from the Beizhi scholar community, so they are now I am also very busy, but it is difficult to show off.

"This is interesting, so the Jiang family found Sister Feng, and I was a little curious. Why did Sister Feng get involved with the Jiang family again? The Jiang family is not a martial artist, and their children are also scholars. Jiang Ziqi is just a businessman. , The Wang family is a big family in Jinling, not native to Shuntian Prefecture, and has nothing to do with Miao County, who can find Sister Feng's head?"

 Feng Ziying is indeed very curious.

“Do you still remember Grandma Liu?” Ping’er couldn’t help but ask.

"Grandma Liu?" Feng Ziying was stunned. What does this have to do with Grandma Liu?

"It seems that I still remember that Grandma Liu is from Miao County, but now she lives in the home of her son-in-law Wang Gou'er. Wang Gou'er's family was related to the Wang family where grandma lived in the early years. Grandma Liu is a distant relative. So she married into the Jiang family. Perhaps Grandma Liu went back to show off during the Chinese New Year and let this relative know about it. The Jiang family came to find grandma through Grandma Liu. They just asked grandma to give me a line and a word..."

Ping'er also knew that these words were a bit far-fetched. If it was just Grandma Liu's relationship, why bother? He just found any reason to send it off, but he still eagerly asked himself to come and say, is there no other reason here?

Feng Ziying no longer cared about this, and just asked with a cold face: "What message do I want you to bring?"

"The Jiang family asked someone to ask grandma to help with the message and said that the third master of the Jiang family has never killed anyone and is definitely not a murderer..."

"This is ridiculous. Which suspect would admit to killing someone? Even if he is caught on the spot, there are still people who refuse to admit it. Everyone knows that murder must be punished with life. Who is willing to confess his crime easily?"

Of course Feng Ziying knew that since the Jiang family asked someone to speak to them, they should also know their own details. It would be ridiculous to persuade her with just these two sentences. Asking Wang Xifeng to talk to her was just a pretext. There must be more specific explanations.

"This is not something that grandma and the slave can know, but the slave feels that they just want to inform the uncle, probably hoping that the uncle will not have preconceptions and convict them, right?" Ping'er could only guess.

Feng Ziying had already made some assumptions in her mind. It was probably because the Jiang family was afraid that they would be indiscriminate, so they ordered Jiang Ziqi to be arrested and detained in Shuntian Mansion Prison. In this way, the Jiang family would lose all face, and even if they were released in the future, they would be the same. I was greatly affected, so I came to ventilate him first. As for the inside story and the aftermath, there may be further contact.

After pondering for a moment, Feng Ziying did not embarrass Ping'er anymore and waved her hand, "I know about this matter. You go back and explain it clearly to Sister Feng. The reply has been brought to the other party, but how to deal with it depends on their performance. They come to the government office on their own, and there is no need to say anything else. In addition, I also need to explain it to Sister Feng, so as not to interfere with these matters in the future, lest the Metropolitan Procuratorate comes to visit me in the future without knowing why."

Ping'er came and went in a hurry, and Feng Ziying couldn't even get close to him. On that day, he was about to enter Hong Kong, but was ruined by Si Qi. Fortunately, Si Qi blocked the gun, but there was a different feeling, but Ping'er The child dangled in front of his eyes from time to time, which still made him feel itchy. He always wanted to find an opportunity to get his wish before he gave up.

Qiu Shian was quite surprised when he received the news from his son from outside the palace. Xiao Feng Xiuzhuan, no, it is Feng Fucheng now, and Feng Fucheng intends to ask him to help deliver a message to Concubine Zheng.

"Please tell me clearly what the person who came here said." Of course, Qiu Shi'an is aware of Feng Ziying's power now. With Feng Ziying coming to Beijing to serve as the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture, his status is no different than that of his former colleagues in ordinary prefectures. Shuntian Mansion is the center of Gyeonggi Province that can rival the Six Ministries. Its status is so important that even the emperor pays more attention to it.

"The visitor said that Mr. Feng has a case in his hands, which is probably related to Concubine Zheng's relatives. However, the Zheng family has always been unruly. Mr. Feng did not want to be at odds with the Zheng family. Thinking of the prestige of his eldest companion in the palace, he thought Please help me to send a message to Concubine Zheng that matters outside the palace should not involve the palace. If the reputation of the concubine is damaged by the clan members, the emperor may not be happy."

The little chamberlain recited the original text word for word without missing a word.

 Qiu Shian chewed carefully.

Several young concubines have never been in his mind. They have no heirs and the emperor is never lucky. Well, the emperor has stopped doing this a long time ago. Even the concubines who have heirs are almost extinct in the palace. Staying here means staying overnight. According to Qiu Shian's knowledge of daily life, there has never been anything between men and women. Apart from court affairs, the emperor is now focused on cultivating his mind and nature and seeking longevity, and does not consider anything else.

So these young concubines are just pitiful people waiting for their beauties to grow old in the palace. Now that the emperor is in poor health, he might as well put all his thoughts on the princes. Either he thinks so, or Xia Bingzhong and Isn't this the case with Zhou Peisheng?

The reason why I look up to Concubine Xian De is because the Jia family seems to be quite close to the Feng family, and Xiao Feng Xiuzuan has married Concubine Xian De's cousin, and there seems to be another cousin who is also going to marry Xiao Feng Xiuzuan. It only made him think a little. The Feng family now has connections in both civil and military circles in the court. If he really follows a certain prince in the future, he will naturally be more valued if he has such connections.

He also believed that with the current prosperity of the Feng family, it was impossible to put all the treasure on the emperor. Everyone knew that the emperor's physical condition was deteriorating day by day. Once he passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne, who would not want to be the first to win the first prize? Even if he is this tower near the water, he is still valuable to the Feng family.

Qiu Shi'an knew his position very well. He was definitely incomparable to these scholars and civil servants. No matter which new emperor ascended the throne, he would use these world-famous scholars and civil servants. However, it was not that he was useless to them. Because of this, it makes sense for both parties to cooperate.

It's just that this time Xiao Feng Xiuzuan came in so suddenly and asked him to help beat Concubine Zheng, which made him a little suspicious.

Although this brother of Concubine Zheng is the commander of the Beicheng Army and Horses Division, so what? How could a commander still make Xiao Feng Xiuzhuan afraid?

Or maybe Xiao Feng Xiuzhuan took office as a new official and didn't want to be too sharp, so he had such a subtle way to deal with the incident?

 Or maybe this was just a simple way for Xiao Feng to test his abilities?

 Qiu Shian kept thinking about it, but he couldn't figure it out. He always felt that there was a deep meaning in it.
