Chapter 2447 Gui Zi Juan accident, weighing

“Then what should we do?” The Zhen sisters all said in unison, their eyes focused on Feng Ziying’s face.

 After all, it all depends on the fate of your family. Whether you want to stay or not is a dilemma.

"If I were your Zhen family, I would rather choose to be exiled to the army, but the time can be shorter. Three years of exile to the army and ten years of local imprisonment. In the eyes of outsiders, three years of exile to the army is definitely much more serious. I would rather choose to be sentenced to local imprisonment. It's better to take care of you, but the Zhen family is not suitable. Countless people will try to kill you. If you stay in Nanjing, you Zhen family don't know how many people will die and how much torture you will suffer. If you jump out and go to the border, it may be different. Three years have gone by in a blink of an eye..."

 Feng Ziying's words made both Zhen Baochen and Zhen Baoyu hesitate.

Having said that, my family is used to being pampered and pampered. Can I bear the hardship of suddenly going to a border area?

Even with Feng Ziying taking care of them, a large family has been exiled thousands of miles away. They are not accustomed to the soil, water, food, and sores. How many people will die on the road and in these three years?

Seeing the hesitation on the faces of the Zhen sisters, Feng Ziying did not push her. The fact that the Zhen family was able to get such an arrangement under such circumstances was the result of her own good operation.

Gu Bingqian was very considerate and approved of his decision to take the Zhen sisters as concubines. However, he also specifically warned that Zhen Baochen was not suitable to be a concubine. She was already married and if she took her as a concubine, it would be a disgrace to her official reputation and she would definitely be punished. To impeach the censor, if he really likes this girl, he can just accept her as an outside concubine. Even so, it is not cost-effective.

Gu Bingqian was sincere, but Feng Ziying couldn't back down. After all, she slept with her, but she was still intact. He got a big advantage, but now she can't even give her the status of concubine, and can only have the status of an outside concubine. , I’m very embarrassed.

This also makes Feng Ziying quite depressed, because the outer concubine is not considered a formal concubine. If the entire Zhen family is sentenced to exile and sent to the army, Zhen Baochen will also be included in it.

 Feng Ziying cannot tell Zhen Baochen about this situation yet.

"Besides, there is a lot of room for maneuver in dispatching troops to border areas. Shuntian Prefecture is also a border area, Datong Prefecture is also a border area, and Yongping Prefecture is also a border area. As long as there is a border wall garrison, it is considered a border area. It doesn’t necessarily have to be places like Shaanxi, Guizhou, and Guangxi.”

Feng Ziying’s last words made Sister Zhen’s eyes shine with hope again.

If this is the case, then exile is much more cost-effective than imprisonment. Three years is not long or short, but if it is in a place like Shuntian Mansion, can it be considered a borderland?

Of course, it cannot be the capital city, but it may be places such as Zunhua, Jizhou, and Pinggu.

 Seeing the subtle and complicated expressions on the women's faces, Feng Ziying could only say this.

Too much pampering and pampering can easily make women become arrogant. There are indeed too many women around her. Feng Ziying also knows that she should restrain herself. Even if merit is not rewarded, some factors need to be balanced, but Dare you say that there are more factors in it that are motivated by sex?

 It’s really hard to say, or rather, it’s true.

 Compared to the Zhen family's affairs, Li Shouzhong's matter is really not a big deal.

Although Li Shouzhong offended several cabinet ministers, adults do not remember the faults of villains. As time has passed, it is almost certain that there will not be too big a disturbance.

When the stories about the Four Families, the Tang Family, and even some powerful local families were constantly exposed, as well as the Four Kings and other dead tigers who were dragged out and beaten after hiding in Nanjing City, the newspapers in the capital city and Jiangnan were hyping these things. When he was young, if Li Shouzhong was still remembered by the cabinet bosses, he would be underestimating the magnanimity of the princes. At least on the surface, he would show that he didn't care at all.

However, those who should judge the crime must follow the procedures, but this matter of Li Shouzhong will definitely be left at the end.

　　Now Li Shouzhong is nominally a prisoner awaiting trial, but in fact he is no different from an ordinary person. After paying the bail, he can enjoy himself at home. He even goes out to drink tea and drink like ordinary people, and writes poems to meet guests.

"Shui Rong wants to see me?" Feng Ziying asked in surprise: "Did he confiscate the prison?"

"Shui Rong must have been imprisoned. He is in Shuntian Mansion Prison." Baoxiang came in and said, "The person who came was a long-term attendant from his mansion who was released on bail."

The four kings are really dead tigers. Even Han Xu and Yang Lian didn't bother to fight them. They just put them aside and focused on the waves of powerful crimes.

 So the four kings, the so-called four kings themselves, were imprisoned, and everyone else could be released on bail. As long as they could hand over enough money, there would be no problem.

It is also shabby to say that there are four dignified princes. Except for the princes of Dongping and Beijing who are currently in prison, the prince of Nan'an and the prince of Xining are minors and are not involved. The other is bedridden for a long time. Because of the involvement, the Mu family of Dongping County and the Wang Shui family of Beijing County actually followed him to the south of the Yangtze River.

Although the two families of Nan'an County Prince and Xining County Prince were also raided by the court, at least the court still saved face for these two families and temporarily allowed them to live in their mansions. However, Dongping County Prince's Palace and Beijing County Prince's Palace were earlier They inspected them and sold them, and now they have been bought by two wealthy Shanxi and Shaanxi businessmen.

Feng Ziying felt a little uncomfortable when she thought of sleeping with Shui Zhen, also known as Zhen Baoqi, and Shui Rong's sister Shuitang in Xi'an city.

Although it was because he had fallen into the trap, after all, this kind of thing was still a bit embarrassing. If he really faced Shuirou, he would still be a little scared. Fortunately, this time the other party came with him, so that was okay. .

I don’t know if Zhen Baoyu and Shuitang have returned to Beijing. Maybe they should have returned to Beijing, or are they on their way back to Beijing?

Emperor Wan Tong ascended the throne and pardoned a number of criminals sentenced by the court related to him before he ascended the throne, but he was unable to pardon the cases that the court reopened after that.

Such a strange situation is also painful. Of course, it is not the pain of the ministers in the cabinet, but the pain of Emperor Wan Tong.

　　That is to say, the main criminals of Dongping County Prince and Beijing County Prince have not yet been convicted, but the family members of the criminal officials who were originally affiliated with them have been pardoned and can return to Beijing with great arrogance. It is so weird and bizarre.

Just like Jia Zheng was pardoned and returned to Beijing safely, he had already gone to Beijing to reunite with his family and enjoy the fun, but Jia She could not do that because his crime was not to fight against rebellion, but to communicate with foreigners. Smuggling.

However, the real culprit, Sun Shaozu, could leisurely drink tea in the capital city, while his accomplice had to suffer in Xi'an. How could this make sense?

Things in the world are so unreasonable. If you encounter it, you have to suffer it.

 This is also a move prepared by the imperial court in advance.

Emperor Wan Tong can pardon those who were originally involved in the Jiangnan rebellion case, but the court also has the power to initiate investigations into other cases against these people.

It cannot be said that the imperial court will not pursue you for the crimes of following Emperor Wan Tong to establish a puppet dynasty and rebelling, nor will you pursue the crimes of smuggling, offering and accepting bribes, killing people and stealing goods, right?

 To Feng Ziying, it seems that the cabinet represents the imperial court, and the imperial court is now quite distinct from Emperor Wan Tong. So who does Emperor Wan Tong mean? Puppet, or transition?

Feng Ziying thought that if Emperor Wan Tong continued to be like this, the cabinet would be happy to see the results, but if Emperor Wan Tong was unwilling and still struggled, the cabinet would have to activate a backup plan. For example, the sons of Emperor Yonglong might It is time to jump out and question the legality and rationality of Emperor Wan Tong's succession.

Feng Ziying could even conclude that even if Emperor Wan Tong did not act like a monster, the court might still tease and stimulate Emperor Yonglong's sons and several so-called concubines from time to time, such as Su Lingyao, Mei Yuexi, and Guo Qinjun. Let them have their say.

Although this kind of trick is not very popular, it is quite useful. It doesn't matter if it will cause Emperor Wan Tong to have an attack or not. After all, it is also a family affair. This is beating someone with pig urine - it doesn't hurt but is bad luck. Man, it makes you want to cry without tears, and you can't stop.

All kinds of thoughts passed through Feng Ziying's heart, "Then let him come in and listen to what he wants to say. I can't say much about this water-soluble matter. Even Mr. Gu Ge has to take it back." It will be decided after Beijing."

The elder Shui Rong met with Feng Ziying. After he came in, he knelt down to salute and then just kowtowed.

"What's going on? What can I say? Why are you doing this?" Feng Ziying frowned.

He and Shui Rong only met each other face-to-face, and there was no deep friendship. Why did this long-term follower come to his door?

"Sir, the prince has not been going well since he came to Nanjing. In the past, when the emperor was still in Nanjing, he would help him from time to time. Later, after the news of negotiations with the court came out, the emperor did not care much about the prince and Prince Mu. In the past few years, the prince The expenses were very high, and the scene could not be left behind. Almost all of the prince's mansion and farm in Nanjing were sold. After this round of imprisonment, the prince said before that he could not be released on bail, so he had to make do with selling the house and farm shop. Others in the government were released on bail, but now it is said that the prince can also be released on bail, but the bail amount is 30,000 taels of silver. I borrowed money everywhere, but it was not enough, and I was desperate, so I thought of asking the Lord..."

This long-term attendant is a very loyal and honest person, but looking like this, he does look a little embarrassed.

After all, the Prince of Beijing County was one of the four founding kings with different surnames when this dynasty was founded. He had mansions, shops and farms in both the northern and southern capitals. Although he has gradually declined over the years, he is so thin that a camel is bigger than a horse, so he still has some foundation. Even though they have gone through a lot of trouble in the past two years, why do they still ask for help at their door?

 Could it be that he knew about his affairs with Shuizhen and Shuitang, so he came to visit?

Feng Ziying felt a little embarrassed and a little suspicious for a moment, right?
