Chapter 39 Secret ([-])

Feng Shilang's study is in the outer courtyard.

After Feng Shilang left the office, he mostly stayed in the study, reading books, processing files, writing notebooks, discussing matters with his staff, and so on.Of course, the pretty maids who serve the pen and ink are also indispensable, and occasionally a red sleeve will come to add fragrance.

Feng Shaojun followed Feng Shilang into the study.

Because the grandparents wanted to say some private things, the maids and servants who served were all sent out.

Feng Shilang sat on the chair he was accustomed to, and asked with a casual smile: "It's just you and grandfather now. If you have anything to say, you should be able to say it now!"

Feng Shaojun looked up at the gentle and loving Feng Shilang, wishing he could slash the hypocritical and disgusting grandfather in front of him with a knife, and said softly: "Uncle Grandpa loves me so much, so I have the audacity to express my heart."

"The concubine of the county led me to Qin Wang's mansion just because she wanted me to meet a noble lady from the middle of the capital, so that I could have a good marriage in the future."

"I am very grateful for this kindness."

"However, I already have a future husband-in-law I like in my heart. I ask my uncle to make the decision for me!"

Feng Shilang: "..."

Even Feng Shilang's city mansion was shocked when he heard such bold and direct words.

He looked at his admiring granddaughter and regretted it for the first time in his life.

Back then, Feng Shaojun really shouldn't have been allowed to live in Cui's house.

This Xu family!How did you raise your granddaughter?
For a girl who opened her mouth to be her future husband, do you know what a girl's reserve is?

Furthermore, Feng Shaojun has only been in Beijing for a few days, and he has seen only a handful of teenagers.Whether Cui Yuanhan or the Shen brothers, what kind of good marriage is it!

No!

Never!

Feng Shilang was annoyed in his heart, and his face finally sank: "Young Master! You are still young and don't know the etiquette in Beijing. How can you let your own temper mess with this lifelong event."

"Boys should marry when they are colleges, and girls should be married when they are colleges. Both should obey the orders of their parents and the words of the matchmaker. They must never give or accept privately. Without a matchmaker or employment, it is elopement."

"Once this kind of thing spreads, it will ruin the innocent reputation of the girl's family, and it will be ruined for the rest of her life."

Feng Shilang's voice was sharp, and seeing Feng Shaojun's silence, he thought he had frightened her, so he slowed down his voice and said, "Besides, you are still young and have limited knowledge, so you don't know that people's hearts are sinister. There are not many young men who have seen it." indivual."

"I think it's good now, I'll read it later, but it's just mediocre."

"Your marriage, grandfather will carefully plan for you."

"You can wait with peace of mind. You will marry a high-ranking man in the future, and you will live in prosperity and wealth for the rest of your life."

Feng Shaojun seemed to be moved by Feng Shilang's words, bit his lips lightly and asked: "Uncle uncle said, like cousin?"

Feng Shilang smiled lovingly: "Your little aunt is the concubine of Yipin County. You have seen with your own eyes how her life is going. With my grandfather here, I guarantee that you will be stronger than her in the future."

How else can it be "strong"?
Could it be that he wants to send her into the palace to serve that 60-year-old Emperor Long'an?
Feng Shaojun sneered in his heart, pretending to be shy and silent.

Young girls who are not deeply involved in the world are easy to fool.

Feng Shilang was quite satisfied, got up and walked in front of Feng Shaojun, and patted Feng Shaojun's shoulder affectionately: "It's so late, you go back and rest first..."

A faint fragrance entered the nostrils.

Feng Shilang thought it was the scent of rouge from the girl's house, so he didn't take it seriously, and was about to continue talking, when his eyes suddenly went dark.

Feng Shaojun had been prepared for a long time, and reached out to support Feng Shilang who was unconscious, and supported him on the chair.

She stretched out her hand, and slapped Feng Shilang gently.

Feng Shilang didn't move.

Slap again.

Still no response.

Feng Shaojun raised the corners of his lips in satisfaction.

Yu Erniang's drugs are really powerful!
She entered Feng Shilang's study tonight, of course not just to listen to Feng Shilang's hypocritical nonsense.It was to search the study to find clues to the murder of his father Feng Lun.

Feng Shilang is very strict with the rules, and there are a lot of official documents and letters in the study, so idlers can't enter the study at all.

At this time, it is a rare opportunity.

Feng Shaojun stood up straight, his eyes quickly swept around the study.

In her previous life, she worked as a nephew in the Prince Qin's mansion for three years.He has a lot of experience in sneaking into the study to search for hidden documents and letters.Looking at it, I saw the most suitable places to hide secret documents.

She went to the bookshelf first, looking for books with obvious signs of flipping.

Then there's the inside and outside of the desk.

In the desk drawer, a box was found.This box is about one foot square, made of sandalwood, simple and heavy.The box was also locked.

A strong premonition suddenly surged in Feng Shaojun's heart.This box may contain what she wants.

Now that there is a lock, where is the key?
As a man of Feng Shilang, he would never put the key on the body of his followers, nor would he give it to his staff.So……

Feng Shaojun's eyes focused on Feng Shilang.Without hesitation for a moment, he stepped forward and reached out to feel around Feng Shilang's chest.

Soon, a thin copper object was touched.

Feng Shaojun was overjoyed, he pulled hard and pulled the key off.

There was a bloodstain on Feng Shilang's neck.Suffering from pain in a coma, he groaned unconsciously.

Feng Shaojun ignored it, quickly picked up the key, and went to open the copper lock.After a slight click, the copper lock was unlocked and the box was opened.

In the box, there was a thick stack of letters.

There are about a dozen of these letters.The letter on the top was at least ten years ago. The envelope was empty and the letterhead was worn out. I don't know how many times it was opened and read.

Feng Shaojun took out the first letter, opened it, and saw the familiar handwriting.

The above is from my uncle, and the inscription is from my nephew Feng Lun.

Feng Shaojun's nose was full of soreness, his eyes gleamed with water, and his right hand trembled slightly.

Since she was eight years old, she left her father and grew up with her grandfather Cui.Her father was assassinated and died tragically. She was far away in Pingjiang Mansion, and she became an orphan without even seeing her father for the last time.

Ten years of time had already worn away the memory of her father in her mind.Now thinking of her own father, she doesn't even remember his appearance clearly.

But the relationship between father and daughter is engraved in the bones.At the moment when he saw his father's name taboo, the emotion of longing suddenly surged like a tide, turned into teardrops, and rolled down his eyes.

She hadn't shed a tear for many years.

Feng Shaojun cried silently for a moment, and wiped his tears with his sleeve.

She quickly browsed through the letter, but found nothing out of the ordinary.

The second letter, the third letter... until the sixth letter.

"...Uncle, I have been in the Lianghuai Salt Road for three months. Checking the accounts of previous years, I found something wrong. The Lianghuai salt tax is millions of taels every year. In recent years, the amount of salt opened by the salt farm has increased. Thirty percent, but the salt tax is the same as in previous years. The difference is nearly 200 million taels."

"Among them, there must be someone secretly stealing and selling private salt."

"I want to thoroughly investigate this matter and clear the Jiangnan Salt Road!"
