Chapter 335 Ask Mrs. Wen

Mrs. Wen smiled bitterly and said, "The Empress Dowager, this is the life-saving item of the Wen family. Forgive me, I can't give it to you. But the Empress Dowager doesn't have to worry. The Wen family's grandchildren only have two daughters, and no one can go to the battlefield again." , I only want the Wen family to be safe, and I have absolutely no ambitions. Just as I said, those things will be buried with the old body, and will never be known to others."

Although the Queen Mother didn't trust Mrs. Wen very much, she also knew that what she said was true. Those were life-saving charms, and she would not take them out easily.

After thinking about it, the queen mother said: "Go back and prepare your luggage. You can leave Beijing when the imperial edict to cancel the engagement arrives."

This matter still needs to be communicated with Emperor Xuanwu.

Mrs. Wen breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly left the palace.

After Mrs. Wen left, the Empress Dowager ordered someone to invite Emperor Xuanwu to come and have a talk.

……

At the same time, Shuang Feichen and Shuang Yuanxing, as well as Wen Moyan and Feng Yuli, all returned to Qin Palace.

And invited Wu Xuanli.

Frost Yuanxing handed the Dragon Bone Chalcedony Paste to Wu Xuanli, and said, "Now you can tell us, who should we go to find out?"

Wu Xuanli was a little surprised holding the dragon bone chalcedony paste, he asked back: "Where did you get it? Back then, my elder brother..."

"Your elder brother brought people into the mountain, of course he couldn't get it. This thing has never been placed on the mountain. It's just that Xun Yu, the genius doctor and valley master, didn't want to give it to you." Shuang Feichen interrupted Wu Xuanli's words.

Shuang Yuanxing asked eagerly: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, tell me quickly, who should we ask?"

Wu Xuanli turned his head to look at the silent Wen Moyan, and said: "Back then, Feng Lingyue was corrupt and dereliction of duty. It was the old general Wen Zhengyang who was ordered to go to Mingzhou City to arrest Feng Lingyue. If you want to know the reason for this, ask old man Wen. People are the most suitable."

Shuang Feichen frowned and said, "Yan'er's grandmother?"

Wu Xuanli nodded.

Shuang Yuanxing had some doubts, he frowned and asked, "Didn't you lie to us? What can Mrs. Wen, a woman, know?"

Before Wu Xuanli could answer, Wen Moyan said, "He shouldn't have lied. My grandmother knows far more than I imagined."

"What does this mean?" Shuang Feichen asked.

Wen Moyan pursed her lips and shook her head, but didn't say much.

Shuang Feichen looked at Wu Xuanli and Feng Yuli, thinking that it might be inconvenient for outsiders to talk, so he didn't ask any further questions.

He just said, "Okay, let's go see Mrs. Wen."

-

General Ping Rong's Mansion.

As soon as Mrs. Wen came back from the palace, she saw her son Wen Changshan anxiously waiting at the door.

Wen Changshan stepped forward to help the old lady get off the carriage, and then said worriedly: "Mother, where have you been?"

Just as Mrs. Wen was about to reply, Wen Changshan continued: "His Royal Highness Qin Wang and Xiang Wang have been waiting for you for a long time, and they said they have something to ask."

Mrs. Wen was slightly startled, then sighed: "I knew that paper couldn't keep the fire, but I didn't expect the fire to burn so fast."

Wen Changshan asked suspiciously: "Mother, what are you talking about? Why can't my son understand?"

"It doesn't matter whether you understand it or not, you just need to listen to me. Pack your bags immediately, we are ready to go south at any time."

Wen Changshan asked in surprise, "This...why?"

Mrs. Wen didn't want to explain too much, but said calmly: "Shan'er, mother will not harm you, go get ready. I'll meet the two princes."

Mrs. Wen came to the front hall slowly, leaning on a cane.

She saw that not only Shuang Feichen and Shuang Yuanxing were here, but even Wen Moyan was here, and there was a little relief on her face.

Xu felt that it was a good thing for her daughter to be valued by her husband after all.

Mrs. Wen said: "Old man, I have seen His Royal Highness King Qin and His Highness King Xiang."

Shuang Feichen hurriedly said: "Old lady, you don't need to be too polite, we are here this time..."

"Is it because of Wen Changfeng?" Mrs. Wen interrupted Shuang Feichen.

Shuang Feichen was slightly taken aback, as if he was a little surprised that Mrs. Wen called Wen Changfeng by his first name.

On the other hand, Wen Moyan asked calmly, "Grandmother, second uncle is really Feng Lingyue's son?"

Wen Moyan had already told Shuang Feichen and Shuang Yuanxing about this matter on the way to the general's mansion, so the two of them didn't show surprise at the moment, they just looked at Mrs. Wen with a good eye, trying to find a Answer.

Mrs. Wen didn't seem surprised that they knew about this, she just waved her hand and asked the servants to close the door.

Afterwards, Mrs. Wen was helped to sit down by Wen Moyan, and then she narrated the past.

"That's right, your second uncle, Wen Changfeng, is not my son. Your real second uncle died in infancy. The current Wen Changfeng is the orphan of the Feng family brought back by your grandfather in Mingzhou City." , he should be called... Feng Ziyan."

The three of Wen Moyan looked at each other in surprise, and before she could continue to ask, Mrs. Wen continued: "This matter starts with the salt affairs of Mingzhou City more than 30 years ago. In the 27th year of Yuankang, that is, the first emperor During the reign of No. 20, the salt tax in Mingzhou City was not paid for a long time, and the salt merchants in the entire Mingzhou City were crying poor. Even the prefect of Mingzhou came forward to prove that they could not pay the salt tax, but in fact , those salt merchants are so rich that even the rice paper is made of gold thread."

Wen Moyan answered subconsciously: "Four-foot golden Luo?"

Mrs. Wen looked at her and said, "It seems that you have also found a lot of content."

Wen Moyan shook her head, saying that there were not many.

Mrs. Wen continued: "The first emperor felt that the salt affairs in Mingzhou City were tricky, colluded with officials and businessmen, corrupted ink and dereliction of duty, and then appointed the Prime Minister Feng Lingyue as the inspector of salt, and went to Mingzhou City to thoroughly investigate the salt affairs. Before Yue, there were already three censors who inspected salt, and they died in the process of inspecting salt, or they could not reach Mingzhou City, or they died in Mingzhou City, or after inspecting salt, they died on the way back to Beijing."

Shuang Yuanxing frowned and said, "Is it all the means of the salt merchants in Mingzhou City?"

Mrs. Wen did not respond directly, but said: "Who's method is not important, the important thing is that Feng Lingyue is very alert, he knows that this trip to inquire about the salt affairs will inevitably lead to death, so he did not show it from the beginning. Cha Yan's attitude, but to bring his family and mouth to Mingzhou City to have fun. Mingzhou City officials and merchants were relieved to see that he was not doing business, and then began to give gifts to Feng Lingyue. Because they also know a truth, get rid of this Xunyan Yushi, there must be another one, if we can win over this one, it will save a lot of trouble."

Hearing this, Shuang Feichen couldn't help asking: "Then... has Feng Lingyue joined them?"
