Chapter 1444 Xin Zijuan’s Settlement

 The arrival of Busia Mara and Wang Xifeng's pregnancy did add a lot of worries to Feng Ziying.

Although there is some joy in my heart, it does not mean that these things will not take up energy. Fortunately, the investigation and handling of the Tongcang case is still progressing smoothly, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Criminal Justice have launched an unprecedented scale investigation into Jingcang, replacing Shuncang. Tianfu Yamen shared a lot of pressure, which also prevented Feng Ziying from even daring to return home.

The combination of Fu Shi, Wang Wenyan and Zhao Wenzhao worked well together. Fu Shi coordinated the entire Shuntian government affairs, Wang Wenyan planned internally, and Zhao Wenzhao was responsible for the specific investigation promotion. With Wu Yaoqing's external intelligence support, the entire communication was The investigation of the Cangda case began to shift from the early focus of the target to the systematic closing of the net. More and more people were involved, but they were all small fish and shrimps.

But when the small fish and shrimps are gathered together, they are no less than the big fish. This is something Feng Ziying feels deeply. Looking at the list in her hand, the confessions given, and the seized assets, every transaction is shocking and makes people feel... Emotion.

A small cavalry leader colluded with the officials in the warehouse, used internal and external exchanges, and mixed sand and gravel. In eight years, his profit share was as high as more than 11,000 taels, an average of 1,400 taels per year. Two, and a soldier leader's annual salary is only thirty-five taels, which means that the money he makes through this method is equivalent to forty times his regular income, and the four soldiers who follow him in this business They also received more than two thousand taels respectively.

 This is just a microcosm.

Judging from the current investigation, almost everyone in Tongcang is not greedy, but it is just a matter of degree. The smallest person also received a profit of three hundred taels, which is equivalent to nearly ten years of income. Just the greed of these small fish and shrimps The income was more than 400,000 taels, so after calculation, the amount involved in the entire Tongcang corruption case has exceeded 1.8 million taels, which is much higher than the second estimate.

Feng Ziying no longer has much interest in him. Of course, he is of great help to the emperor, the court, and especially the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Huang Ruliang, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, and Wang Yongguang, the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue, both invited Feng Ziying to meet twice to discuss the recovery and handover of relevant currencies. They hoped that Feng Ziying could increase efforts and strive to collect all embezzled money before the end of the year, no matter what method was used. This means is realized and turned over to the treasury of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

This is a hard task indicator issued by the Ministry of Household Affairs, even more important than the autumn tax.

Feng Ziying thought about it, and the situation in Jingcang and Tongcang was similar. If the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Punishment could go as smoothly as the Shuntian Prefecture, this wave would really "increase" the court's income by more than two million taels by the end of the year. Isn’t this a bit like fattening and killing pigs?

Such a case brought a lot of trouble and pressure, but it also brought a huge amount of resources. Countless people flocked to it, hoping to get to know and attach themselves to Xiao Feng Xiuzuan, who was becoming more popular.

The people involved in the case are not only related officials and soldiers, but also grain merchants who are closely related to the high-profile families in the capital city. Most of them are either rich or noble in the capital city. Groups, even the old royal family members and Wu Xun such as King Zhongshun and Zhen Guo Gong are not exempt from customs, so if you get a favor from Feng Ziying, you will naturally be rewarded in the future.

 “Sir.” Ruixiang entered the room and saluted.

“Okay, I don’t need so many courtesy here. How are you doing in arranging your affairs?” Feng Ziying asked in a deep voice.

"The little one has been running around for the past few days according to my instructions. You mean that it should be farther away from our west city, but not too far away, and the residents can't be too mixed, so the little one is mainly in Renshoufang, Dongcheng and We explored Baodafang, Nanxunfang, Mingzhaofang, Qingqingfang, Dashiyongfang and Xiaoyongfang in Nancheng, Zhaohui Jinggongfang and Rizhongfang in North City."

 Ruixiang Yuemou guessed that some uncles wanted to find a house.

Second Grandma is moving out of Rongguo Mansion, and Ping'er and Xiaohong have come to the house several times. They probably want to ask Uncle Feng for help with ideas or arrangements. Who can make the uncle and Second Mistress get entangled.

To be honest, Ruixiang doesn't agree with the uncle and the second mistress getting involved. They all know that the second mistress Lian of Rongguo Mansion is not a fuel-efficient lamp. If you get involved, how can you run away?

Ruixiang has followed Feng Ziying to Rongguo Mansion dozens of times over the years. Not only is Rongguo Mansion as familiar as Feng Mansion, at least the maids, servants, servants, wives and even the housekeepers there are all familiar with him. , I also have some relatively stable and close friends, such as Zhu'er in my second grandmother's house, Qianhua from Rongguo Mansion, Hoe Yao from Yihongyuan, Lianhuaer from Zhujin Building, Granny Xia from the back door of Grand View Garden, and Fu from Fu Pan Youan, who was originally with Jia Zheng, but later stayed in the mansion and did not follow him to Jiangxi, and Xi'er, who was originally with Jia Zhen and later followed Jia Rong in Ningguo Mansion, gradually became familiar with each other.

Qian Hua, Zhu'er, Pan You'an, Chu Yao, and Xi'er were also among Ruixiang who came and went frequently. In addition, Feng Ziying also told him to get to know more people from Rongning's second house and be more generous with his actions. Ruixiang naturally understood this. If we have a drink together no matter what, we will naturally become close to each other.

 As for Lian Hua'er and Xia Pozi, it was a coincidence or someone's deliberate flattery.

For example, Ruixiang got to know Lian Hua'er because Ruixiang accidentally knocked the thin Lian Hua'er into a somersault when he went to Zhujin Tower. He had to apologize and apply medicine, so he became familiar with her. Now the maids in Zhujin Tower Everyone knows that there is only a thin layer of thin film between the uncle and the second girl, and Siqi, who was offended by the uncle, also deliberately draws them together, so the relationship between the two parties is even closer.

As for Mrs. Xia, Ruixiang went to the back door twice in order to get familiar with the situation of the Grand View Garden. After Mrs. Xia learned about Ruixiang's identity, she also deliberately tried to please her, and she became familiar with him after two visits.

Ruixiang also feels that the uncle often goes in and out of the Grand View Garden. With such an interesting and sensible gatekeeper as an acquaintance, it will be much easier for him to handle many things. After all, men are not allowed to enter or leave the Grand View Garden in principle, except for the uncle and Bao Erye. It is not convenient for people like Mr. Huan to get in and out.

Just because he has so many acquaintances and friends, Ruixiang also goes to Rongguo Mansion for a walk when he is not on business.

When these three friends are drinking and bragging, and occasionally when they go to send Mrs. Xia a few things during the New Year and festivals, and when they meet and talk to Lian Hua'er, they can't help but talk about the people and things in Rong Ning's second house. Naturally, As he became familiar with the situation in Rong Ning's Second Mansion, it was inevitable that Wang Xifeng's stories would fall into Ruixiang's ears.

This Second Grandma Lian is really not a cheap person, she is fierce and difficult to deal with. Now that the uncle has slept with her, there will be countless troubles in the future. Moreover, the most important thing is that Second Grandma Lian is the direct cousin of Erfangbao’s Second Grandma. In the future, Lin The girl is married, but she is still the cousin of Second Grandma Lian. This does not include the second girl who may be the concubine of the uncle. This complicated relationship, if there is an oversight in the future, they will know about the relationship between Second Grandma Lian and the uncle. With this kind of relationship, why shouldn’t it be a big deal?

Thinking of this kind of Shura field, Ruixiang was worried about the uncle, but the uncle seemed to be calm and even happy about it.

It's just that it's not the turn of people like them to comment on the uncle's affairs. However, the uncle is wise and capable in official affairs, but he may not be good at private matters, especially the crotch. How can I compare with the uncle? Compared with the future?

A few women are nothing to the uncle. As an uncle, why can’t I ask for them? Why bother getting entangled with a loser?

Even if you sleep with a few maids in the Rongguo Mansion, it doesn't matter to the overall situation. They can't say anything. They may even happily think that it is a blessing to be favored by the uncle, but Mistress Lian is a woman who has given birth to a child. He's a human, what does he count?

If your reputation is affected because of this, it is really not worth it.

Ruixiang could only swallow these words in his stomach, but he still had to find a suitable opportunity to whisper to the uncle. Whether the uncle listened or not was also his business.

“Oh, you are quite attentive. How was your inquiry?” Feng Ziying nodded.

 Looking for two houses is the right thing to do.

Busia Mara had to be settled in one place. Although Ye He's tribe also had a place to stay in the capital city, Busia Mara also brought his entourage to the capital. It was not convenient to do something. Moreover, Busia Mara now Mala is obsessed with getting pregnant with a child, so she will inevitably have to "work hard" during this period. Naturally, she has to find a stable and comfortable place. Once Busia Mala is pregnant, it must be suitable for living and living. She must avoid the Yehe tribe members who followed her to Beijing.

 Another place is Wang Xifeng’s side.

Although Wang Xifeng kept saying that she wanted to find a house by herself, she still had her own seeds in her belly. Feng Ziying had to express herself no matter what. Arranging a house was the minimum, and a mistress in the future also had to have a home. So? What's more, this "Lian Mistress" is now in her belly.

"Over in Beicheng, the conditions in Zhaohui Jinggongfang and Rizhongfang are not very good. As long as the social order is still a bit chaotic, there are two houses in Rizhongfang with good environment. They are on the edge of Jishuitan and Shichahai, Dingyuan, Jingyuan, Shichahai Temple is not far away, but Zhao Hui Jinggongfang is not far away..."

  Ruixiang said, “The conditions in the south are the best and the liveliest and most prosperous in Yongfang.…”

"I won't consider Yongfang in the Great and Small Times. It's too lively there." Feng Ziying waved her hand. Yongfang in the Great and Small Times is where all the yamen are located. Among the seven departments, except the Criminal Department, the Hanlin Academy, the Fifth Military Governor's Mansion, and the Zongren's Mansion, all Over there, people come and go, and it's easy to meet acquaintances.

"Then there is only the east side of the city. The east side of the city also has the most choices. Nanxunfang, Baodafang, Mingzhaofang, and Qingqingfang all have many houses to choose from, but the prices are not cheap,..." Ruixiang Basically confirmed the uncle’s thoughts.
