The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1431 The Feng Family's Special

In the meeting with Feng Zhijun in the Quanzhou government office, Xuan Shijing and Feng Zhijun were testing each other, and the purpose of Xuan Shijing's performance was to make Feng Zhijun look down on him. Now this goal seems to have been achieved, but if Feng Zhijun underestimates Xuan Shijing, will it be true? So he took it lightly and didn't give instructions to the county government?
In this case, Gao Jun probably would have been waiting in vain in the county government.

But it's not a bad thing, Feng Zhijun took it lightly, it gave Xuan Shijing more chances to see his flaws clearly.

However, I still have to consider the power of the Feng family in the south, which is deeply rooted, plus His Majesty attaches great importance to the Feng family, and Feng Zhidai is still serving as the General of Zuo Wuwei in Chang'an.

In the inn, both Xuan Shijing and Chang Le were sitting at the table in the room, and there was a supper brought by the waiter of the inn on the table. When I was in the mansion just now, Xuan Shijing didn't eat much of the things on the table, At this moment, I feel a little hungry.

"My lord, when I was in the government office just now, my subordinates were also present. Between you and the governor, there was no mention of pirates." Chang Le said.

"And then?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"The subordinates feel a little curious and something is wrong." Chang Le said truthfully.

Xuan Shijing smiled: "Even you feel that something is wrong, can I not see it? This Feng Zhijun is really suspicious. If he said that he has nothing to do with the Quanzhou pirates, I would definitely not believe it. It's just Feng Zhijun. People themselves are not complicated, but the Feng family is the one who is complicated."

"Feng family?" Chang Le asked doubtfully, "Could it be that there is something special about Feng family?"

Chang Le has stayed in the north for many years. Although he was wandering around when he was young, he has never entered the southern border. It is the first time he has been to Quanzhou, and the Feng family is the power of the Lingnan generation, so Chang Le is not I don't know about the Feng family.

Chang Le is a bodyguard, and he will not just inquire about the Feng family in Chang'an for no reason.

"Of course the Feng family is special." Xuan Shijing said: "If the Feng family did not submit to the Tang Dynasty, it would be another Dou Jiande."

Back then, the Feng family surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, so Xuan Shijing didn't know the consequences of this guess. If the Feng family did not surrender back then, would the Tang Dynasty attack the Feng family because they wanted to unify the south? With the reputation of the Feng family in Lingnan, Da Tang In a short while, Tang, will he really be able to take down the Feng family like he took down Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong?

None of this is guesswork.

"So powerful?" Chang Le asked in surprise.

"Yes, it's very powerful. After the Feng family surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, except for the military power, the rest is still the same as before. The family property is tens of thousands, and the servants are tens of thousands. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the emperor of Lingnan." Xuan Shijing said: " However, this was all when Feng An was alive, after Feng An passed away, the thirty sons of the Feng family are naturally not as brilliant as before, but there is one member of the Feng family that you must have heard of, and he is in Chang'an."

"General Feng Zhidai of Zuo Wuwei." Chang Le said.

Xuan Shijing nodded: "Exactly"

Feng Zhidai is the most promising one among Feng An's sons. As early as when Feng An was alive, before Feng Zhidai entered Chang'an, Feng Zhidai had been brought by Feng An's side and cultivated as an heir. Therefore, after Feng An died, it was Feng Zhidai who inherited the huge family business of the Feng family, but the foundation of the Feng family was in Lingnan, and Feng Zhidai, as the general of Zuo Wuwei, had always been in Chang'an, and even more so. Not to mention, Feng Zhidai's control over the Feng family is far inferior to that of his father.

That's why I said that the current situation of the Feng family is very complicated, so complicated that Xuan Shijing doesn't want to touch it at all.

However, the matter of the pirates in Quanzhou has an inseparable relationship with Feng Zhijun. Xuan Shijing had to touch the behemoth of the Feng family, otherwise, Quanzhou would have no peace, and Xuan Shijing wanted to use Quanzhou as a springboard to let the Tang Navy The ideal of opening up the water silk road and even sailing around the world can only die in Quanzhou.

Whether it is an ideal or the reality of the Tang Dynasty, the first step is Quanzhou, and it is imperative to eliminate the pirates in Quanzhou and Fuzhou.

Therefore, it is imperative for Xuan Shijing to face the Feng family.

"If the Feng family is really so powerful here, it will be tricky." Chang Le said.

"That's right, but if Feng Zhijun was really instigated by the pirates, then it's a different story." Xuan Shijing said: "No matter how powerful the Feng family is, they will not shield Feng Zhijun. On the contrary, Feng Zhijun, as the governor of a state , Doing such a thing will make Feng's family lose face, even Feng Zhidai will support Xuan Shijing.

He couldn't help but not support it. Feng Zhidai in Chang'an knew better than anyone else that he couldn't offend Xuan Shijing. Only Feng Zhidai in Chang'an knew how terrifying the energy in Xuan Shijing was.

As for a Feng Zhijun, he could not do without the power of the Feng family if he could hold the position of governor of the state. If it was for the Feng family, sacrificing a Feng Zhijun would not be a big deal.

The emperor watched the Feng family grow in Lingnan helplessly. It was because the emperor had no choice but to restrain the Feng family, and the glory of the Feng family was gradually fading after Feng An's death, so the emperor was very concerned about the current situation The Feng family also turned a blind eye, but if something like this happened to the Feng family, the court could take this opportunity to weaken the Feng family.

Feng Zhidai, who was chosen by Feng An as his successor, can still think clearly about this matter.

The Feng family is in the remote south, and the imperial court is always out of reach, and the Feng family's prestige is too high on the Lingnan side.

Such a Feng family, if Xuan Shijing stood in that position, Xuan Shijing would be afraid of that position.

Not to mention being in Chang'an, even in Quanzhou now, Xuan Shijing already felt the unknown pressure to investigate Feng Zhijun's matter.

While Xuan Shijing and Chang Le were talking about the Feng family, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Grandpa, this subordinate is back." A tall voice came from outside.

"Come in." Xuan Shijing said.

Immediately afterwards, the door was pushed open, and Gao Jun walked in in casual clothes.

"Sit down and talk, what do you find?" Xuan Shijing asked.

Gao Jun sat on the side of Chang Le, opposite to Xuan Shijing, and shook his head: "The subordinates also searched the county government, but found no evidence such as ledgers, and there is no such thing as a book in the government office. Send someone to the county government office to spread the message, and after waiting for a long time, the subordinates left the county government office."

Xuan Shijing frowned when he heard the words, there was nothing unusual in the county government, that is to say, there was no evidence.

This is difficult.

"Grandpa, what should we do?" Chang Le asked.

Following Xuan Shijing to the government office, he also saw Feng Zhijun's abnormality with his own eyes. There is no evidence for everything, it is just their guess.
