Chapter 12 The Old Case ([-])

Seeing Feng Shaojun in such a "wretched state", Shen Jia felt distressed and annoyed, and immediately looked at Feng Shaozhu: "Why didn't you apologize for bumping into Shaojun's cousin?"

In the past, Cousin Jia was the closest to her, always smiling at her.

Now, Cousin Jia actually murdered her because of Feng Shaojun!

Feng Shaozhu's eyes widened in disbelief, aggrieved and embarrassed: "I didn't mean it, why are you so fierce!"

She did it on purpose, so what!
It was rare for Shen Jia to get angry, she frowned, her eyes were full of displeasure.

Just as he was about to open his mouth, Feng Shaojun said softly: "Brother Jia, the fourth cousin made an accidental mistake, and I didn't really fall. Today is a family dinner, everyone is happy, don't argue over trivial matters."

Cousin Shaojun is really considerate and gentle!
Shen Jia's expression suddenly softened a lot: "Cousin Shaojun is right, I was too impulsive."

Feng Shaozhu: "..."

Feng Shaozhu's eyes were red with anger.

Feng Shaolan was not in the mood to watch Feng Shaozhu's excitement.She frowned and glanced at Shen You quietly.Seeing that Shen You's expression was indifferent and unmoved, he quietly let out a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Mrs. Feng had already exchanged greetings with Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Feng, and waved to Feng Shaojun with a smile: "This is Mrs. Shao! Come here quickly, so that my aunt can take a look."

Feng Shaojun stepped forward with a smile, and saluted: "Young Master has met the eldest aunt."

Da Feng took a careful look, held Feng Shaojun's hand, and praised with a smile: "Back then, the third younger brother and sister were beauties, and Shaojun was born more beautiful than his own mother. Let people take a look and like it from the bottom of their hearts."

In the Feng family, the only one Feng Shaojun has some affection for is Da Feng.

Da Feng's family is not considered beautiful, her appearance is above average, she has neither talent nor intelligence.But she has a generous temperament and treats others peacefully, never calculating.

You can know Da Feng's character just by looking at how Da Feng treats Shen You.

"My aunt praised me so much, so I have the audacity to accept it." Feng Shaojun responded with a smile without being shy.

Da Feng looked at her beautiful niece from her natal family, and thought of her youngest son who had not yet settled on a marriage, her heart suddenly moved.The smile on his face became more and more friendly: "You have been living in Cui's house for so many years, and now you are finally back. When you have free time in the future, go to Shen's house to live for a while, and we two, aunt and nephew, will also get close to each other."

Little Feng immediately smiled and said: "I have already told my mother, eldest sister, please don't fight with me."

Da Feng's family is a concubine, and she gave way to her sister-in-law since she was a child, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, I will wait first."

While joking, Feng Shaojun walked up to Shen Mao and bowed solemnly: "Three years ago, my uncle collected my father's body for burial. I would like to thank you for your great kindness. Please accept my uncle's gift from Shaojun."

Shen Mao was a little surprised, and stretched out his hand to help: "Your father and I are relatives of Uncle Lang, so it is also necessary to take care of his funeral. As a family, there is no need to talk outside."

Back then, Feng Lun was reported by the big salt merchant Wei's family for corruption and bribery, which was a serious case that shocked the court.

The official position of the Lianghuai patrol salt censor is not high, but he is the seventh rank, but his position is low. He is in charge of the Lianghuai salt road, which is a very lucrative job.Feng Lun worked as a co-prefect of Qingzhou for several years, Feng Shilang worked hard in the court, and the Cui family secretly spent a lot of money to find such an official vacancy.

It's a pity that Feng Lun was sued by Wei Qidao, a salt merchant in Yangzhou, to the Ministry of Punishment within three years of taking office.

There are blood and tears in the pleadings, accusing Feng Lun of squeezing a group of salt merchants and extorting huge bribes. Even the salt tax of the Lianghuai Salt Road was embezzled by Feng Lun by [-]%.

Emperor Long'an was furious and ordered Feng Lun to go to Beijing to await trial.Unexpectedly, Feng Lun encountered bandits in the green forest on the way and died.

A dignified official of the imperial court was killed by bandits. When the news spread to the capital, Emperor Long'an was furious.Immediately, Xue Lin, the commander of Jinyiwei, was sent to thoroughly investigate the case.

Shen Mao went to Xue's house in the middle of the night to give a big gift, and Commander Xue ordered Shen Mao to accompany him.

Shen Mao personally collected Feng Lun's body and buried Feng Lun's body in the Feng family's ancestral grave in Pingjiang Mansion.

Commander Xue solved the murder case in just seven days and caught this group of green forest bandits.The next day, more than 200 heads fell to the ground.Rivers of blood flowed in the execution ground.

Shen Mao carried the head of the bandit leader to Feng Lun's grave, and sacrificed blood to his wife and brother who died tragically.

Once Feng Lun died, this serious case of ink corruption would be over.

In the end, several officials involved in the case were imprisoned, and the Lianghuai officialdom was changed again. The imperial court re-appointed a Lianghuai inspector to fill the official vacancy.

The death of Feng Lun also had a great impact on Feng Shilang.

Fortunately, Feng Shilang made a decisive decision and married his eldest granddaughter Feng Shaomei into the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. By virtue of his marriage with Xie's family, he retained his official position as the Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Feng Shaojun raised his eyes, and looked at Shen Mao: "After the family banquet is over, can I ask my uncle to move to the Hexiangyuan, I have something to ask my uncle."

Shen Mao frowned slightly.

Feng Shilang's eyes flashed, and he said with a casual smile: "What's the matter, you can ask now."

Feng Shaojun said softly: "I want to ask my uncle about some private matters. Please forgive me."

Feng Shilang didn't know what he thought of, his eyes were a little dark, and he glanced at Shen Mao intentionally or unintentionally.Shen Mao slightly nodded, and Feng Shilang stopped talking.

Madam Feng broke the silence with a smile: "Master, the family banquet is ready."

Feng Shilang settled down, greeted everyone, got up and went first.

More than a dozen members of the Feng family, young and old, walked to the dining hall together.

There are two seats in the spacious dining hall.Men sit in one seat and women sit in one seat.The family banquet is informal, and there is no screen.Feng Shaojun sat next to Feng Shaolan, when he looked up, he happened to see Shen You at the next table.

Feng Shaojun deliberately smiled at Shen You.

Shen You brows and eyes did not move.

Feng Shaojun looked away in satisfaction.

……

An hour later, the family banquet was over.

Little Feng returned to Kang Wang's mansion first, and Da Feng brought Shen Jia and Shen You to talk in the inner hall.

Shen Mao followed Feng Shaojun unhurriedly, and walked into the Hexiangyuan.

Mama Zheng greeted her with a smile, she couldn't help being taken aback when she saw Shen Mao, who was as tall and strong as an iron tower.

Who is this tough-looking warrior?It can't be Erye Feng!

"This is Uncle Shen," Feng Shaojun said softly, "Mama Zheng, you guard the door. Don't let anyone disturb my conversation with Uncle Shen."

Mama Zheng accepted the order in a low voice.

After Feng Shaojun and Shen Mao entered the small study, Mama Zheng closed the door and stood guard five or six meters outside the door.

Mama Zheng looked like a Jiangnan woman who was delicate and frail, but she was actually very skilled.Waiting for three or five strong men is not her opponent.

This small study room is tidy and clean.There are tall bookshelves, tables and chairs.Light the candlestick, and the bright and soft candlelight will brighten the study room.

"Uncle," Feng Shaojun frowned, looked at Shen Mao steadfastly, and asked slowly, "How did my father die three years ago?"
