I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 101

After the Shangyuan Festival, until the beginning of February, the city of Shangjing was always in turmoil.

During this period, Shangjing’s [-] squares, the eastern and western cities, including the inner and outer palaces, the Xiuyiwei, the Imperial City Secretary, and the Shangjing government together with the Imperial Army turned upside down. According to Shangjing Yin Sun Kuang, “Stones and trees have to be cut down. A few knives".

Because of this, a lot of people were arrested. The Shangjing government office, Wannian and Xiangfu counties in the city, including the Criminal Department of Dali Temple, and Zhao Prison of Xiuyiwei, were all overcrowded.

Rich households and even some officials in Shangjing were involved. Many people were arrested and tortured without even knowing what happened.

Similarly, some people took this opportunity to falsely accuse those who had grudges, and complained for a while.

Zhao Kang, Li Qiye's disciple, was also falsely accused and sentenced to prison under the order of Xiuyiwei.

Li Qiye could only ask his eldest son to come to Fu Jinchuan, and likewise, several wealthy family members whom Fu Jinchuan knew came to ask him.

"Master Hou, you know this Zhao Kang, he is a bit impatient and may have offended some people on weekdays, but it is really impossible for this kid to have anything to do with Honglian Dao."

I met Fu Jinchuan on the street. He didn't have any errands during this time. Today, he was eating mutton in a pot at a street stall. Zhang Kui brought Li Xing to the door.

"That's right, Lord Hou, I don't want to see Zhao Kang, but it's really impossible for him to have anything to do with Honglian Dao. Wasn't he the one who captured Old Fourth Zhu on the [-]th day?"

Although the relationship between Zhao Kang and Zhang Kui is not very good, Zhang Kui still said a few words for his classmates.

It's okay not to mention Zhu Laosi, but Fu Jinchuan would be furious if he mentioned this. If Zhao Kang hadn't been threatening to startle the snake, maybe he could have caught that Miss Yun in advance.

But at the moment, Fu Jinchuan couldn't ignore the entrustment of these two people.

"I know."

Fu Jinchuan, who was eating mutton, replied casually, and Li Xing was relieved.As long as Fu Jinchuan answered the matter, the matter will be considered as done.

Li Xing then left and Zhang Kui sat down together and ordered a bowl of mutton. Fu Jinchuan's table was full, so he ate at the table next to him.

"Zhang Kui, besides Zhao Kang, has anyone else been arrested?"

Zhang Kui, who was about to drink soup, heard Fu Jinchuan's question and thought for a while: "Liu Laoxi from the Hedong Gang, Qi Gou'er from Nancheng, Han Si from the Chariot and Horse Gang, and Little Bones from Tianshun Casino."

"Yesterday, Ding Fengshan's nephew also came to look for me and made trouble. These individuals are usually related, and they were arrested. If they have no power and power, who do they go to ask for help?"

After Fu Jinchuan finished speaking, he shook his head, "It seems that I have to tell His Royal Highness that we can't go on like this."

After eating the mutton, Fu Jinchuan, who was still resting, lost his mind and went straight into the palace.

After listening to Fu Jinchuan's words, Zhao Yuantan also felt quite a headache, "In the past few days, there have been several censors' books saying that it involves too much, Aye, why don't you let Tian Fuguo go to Shangjing for a while and raise some points here and there. "

"Don't implicate too much, how could there be so many red lotus rebels, Shangjing Prefecture plus two county government offices and Dali Temple, these prisons can't be filled with tens of thousands of people, if Shangjing is really messed up."

Emperor Daojun, who was lying on the sickbed, struggled to sit up, and Zhao Yuantan hurriedly took two cushions for him to lean on.

"The palace must carefully screen the people in Shangjing. If there is no evidence, all the people in Shangjing will be released. This Shangjing is the Shangjing of the Great Jin Dynasty. The first good place is not the Shangjing of Honglian Road. Remember, Dalang, this is the heart of the people. Turning back is far more important than catching a few red lotus rebels."

"I would like to be taught." Zhao Yuantan who was on the side immediately cupped his hands.

"I know Dalang, you are kind. This time, you are just jealous of me. You can't say anything if you are stricter below. After all, the officials here are using the excuse of catching assassins for the emperor. You don't need to think about it. Unjustly imprisoned and extorted by these officials. I ordered the Shangjing government not to care about these things. I want a prosperous and beautiful Shangjing where the people live and work in peace and contentment. I don’t want everyone to be in danger and frightened. Sanlang, let’s go to Beijing, that’s all Follow up with Jingfu Yin."

"The minister takes orders."

Just when Fu Jinchuan was about to leave, Zhao Yuanshu came.

"I saw my uncle."

"Sizi is here. I heard that you have been busy these few days. You must have something to do when you come here. Tell me, but what news did you find?"

Zhao Yuanshu, who was in a hurry, was hesitant to speak, "Uncle, I have followed that military crossbow these days, and I still have the fierce fire oil from the Yangcang."

Zhao Lingyuan's heart skipped a beat when he saw his niece being so cautious. If ordinary dignitaries were involved, Zhao Yuanshu would definitely not hesitate so much, unless it was an extremely important figure in Shangjing or a member of the royal family.

"Sizi, don't worry about it. To put it bluntly, it won't turn around this day."

"It's Dingguo's mansion."

Both Zhao Yuantan and Fu Jinchuan were startled, "What?"

"It's Sun Feng Guangxu, the Duke of Ding. Although he did things very covertly, he was found out by the Imperial City Secretary Shun Teng, and the matter involved Duke Ding."

Zhao Lingyuan sighed after hearing this, "Old Duke Feng told me years ago that the eldest grandson was not good enough, but he didn't expect this kid to be so rebellious. He was the one who smuggled salt before? He wanted to serve the country all his life as the old Duke. I don't want to pursue it anymore, but I never thought that the Duke's mansion would be hereditary and rest with the country. In the Battle of Beizhou, he personally wiped out Honglian Dao, but he didn't want his descendants to get involved with Honglian Dao. This is also Honglian Dao. a poisonous trick"

Even so, Zhao Yuantan and Fu Jinchuan were also a little surprised. Even if Feng Guangxu was ineffective, as long as there were no accidents, he would definitely be hereditary. Endless, what can you get if you get together with Hongliandao?
"That's all, let me tell Mr. Feng the news. The old man understands righteousness, so he naturally knows what to do."

Zhao Lingyuan said helplessly.

Dingguo Gong Feng Shenji, who was in charge of military affairs in front of the palace, was very surprised to see Tian Yangxin coming in.

"I have seen the Duke."

"Is there something wrong with General Tian?"

Tian Yangxin didn't say a word, just put some papers on Feng Shenji's desk.

Feng Shenji felt a little strange, picked it up without asking any more questions, and looked calmly, but his heart was already overwhelmed, he sighed and said: "General Tian, ​​you shouldn't show me this thing, you should submit it directly His Majesty."

Tian Yangxin cupped his hands and said, "This is what His Majesty meant."

Feng Shenji sighed, "General Tian, ​​please tell Your Majesty, although I am old, I can still kill thieves."

After finishing speaking, as if she was a few years older, she stood up with the desk, and Tian Yangxin hurried over to help her.

"You don't need to get old, you can still walk around today, thank you General Tian."

"Don't dare, Duke, please take care."

After refusing Tian Yangxin's support, Mr. Feng walked out of the house, and it was self-evident where he was going.

Tian Yangxin looked at this figure from behind, but he was a little admiring. Today, he finally knew what it means to have a chest like thunder and a face like a flat lake.

Only such calm people can command hundreds of thousands of troops calmly. It's a pity because the children and grandchildren in the family are almost lost at the end of the festival.

After the old Duke returned to the mansion, he went directly to the ancestral hall without going anywhere else, and then ordered the steward to call all the descendants.

"No matter what you're doing, as long as you're in Shangjing, call me for a quarter of an hour."

Soon, Feng Shenji's seven sons, Feng Qi, Feng Yu, Feng Gui, Feng Huan, Feng Qiong, Feng Zhang, and Feng Heng, all expired.

More than [-] grandchildren came, more than a dozen of them were over ten years old, and the rest were still too young, some had just been able to leave and hadn't spoken yet.

The last two came back, one was Feng Guanghui who was on duty in the East Palace, and the other was Feng Guangxu who the servants had been looking for for a long time to talk to the oiran lady in the private house.

"Meet Aon."

"Meet Aon."

Feng Shenji nodded after hearing this, then turned around and first put incense sticks on the ancestors of the Feng family.

Turning around, he said, "Kneel down."

As soon as the old man opened his mouth, nearly twenty children and grandchildren knelt down in three rows.

"Dingguo's mansion has also been around for a hundred years. The ancestor, King Wulie of Qishan, followed Taizu to fight the world. He fought more than a hundred battles in his life. He captured three masters successively and broke the city 72 times. He must conquer and win every battle. He is on the list of heroes. fourth place"

"After King Wu Lie, my grandfather, King Wuxiang of Qishan, also followed Taizong to conquer, leading the army to the north to defend the golden tent, and to drive west to Qingtang."

"My father Qishan Xianwang did not have much merit, but he is the Duke of Taiping, and he can keep his family rich and honored until now."

"I attacked Jue at 24 and was the governor of Daizhou. Jinzhang Khan led an army of 36 Kou Daizhou. Thousands of troops attack the Bohai Sea"

"At that time, people called me and Fu Xun together. Looking at it now, how can I compare to Fu Xun?"

At the end of Feng Shenji's speech, he looked rather lonely, with a look of desolation all over his face.

"Ah Weng, then Fu Xun is just lucky, how can he be compared with you." Feng Guangxu, who was kneeling in the second row, said slightly flatteringly.

Feng Shenji said expressionlessly, "You can also call Fu Xun's name?"

When Feng Guangxu heard this, he immediately lowered his head, not daring to make a sound.

"Do you know which was the hardest battle I fought in my life?"

Feng Shenji asked.

The second son Feng Yu said: "It should be the battle of Daizhou. At that time, you only had 6000 people defending the city, but you had to face an army of [-]."

Although Feng Zhen was not a talented general, he was considered a soldier, and Feng Shenji led the troops outside, and he was the one who served with the army.

Feng Shenji shook his head, "Daizhou City is high, although there are only 6000 people, but the soldiers are well equipped, and the food and grass are sufficient. Although the battle seemed urgent, when the Jinzhang people were not good at attacking the city and served as the Hexi Jiedu envoy, I was equal to Picking up a bargain, Fu Xun fought several battles with Lun Zanpo, and he had already found out the details of the Qingtang people. As for the Battle of Bohai, my governor's 30 army was robbed of the first victory by the Wu family and his son. It's hard enough."

"To say it was the hardest, it was the Battle of Beizhou. It lasted two years before and after the war. When Beizhou rebelled, I led an army of [-] to suppress the rebellion. In just a few months, I recovered more than a dozen surrounding cities. But after besieging the small city of Beizhou, they fought for more than a year. In fact, after fighting for half a year, the food in the city is almost the same. You know this, second child, what do they eat to continue to fight against the army?"

".Know how to eat. Eat. People."

All the children of the Feng family shuddered.

"I recruited and surrendered several times, but these people refused to accept. They were all possessed by demons, and they were no longer considered human. When the city was destroyed, there were only tens of thousands of people in Chengli, but there were only two thousand of them left. The last one is not left, they are worthless."

"You should all know who these people are, yes, they are Red Lotus Road."

At this time, Feng Guangxu who was kneeling below had already started to tremble.He knew some things, but these things had never been heard from his grandfather.

But today the old man talked about so many old things, but in the end he said Hongliandao.Where does he still not understand that things have been exposed?

"I have fought hundreds of battles in my life, but I have only slaughtered the city once because these are not human beings, they are man-eating monsters!"

"Now my Feng family actually has someone from Hong Lian Dao mixing together."

"I didn't know until today that the military crossbow and fierce fire oil used by the thieves that night in Shangyuan night were all given by my Feng family."

"Feng Guangxu, you have done a great job!"
