Chapter 23 Two birds with one stone

"Well, it's a good thing you came back early last night. Otherwise, I'm afraid you would have to be called for questioning." Su Ying channeled: "Okay, it's nothing, you should be in contact with people now. If you don't have enough money, just withdraw it , just remember, don’t learn from those extravagant ones.”

"Yes, my son remembers it." Su Nancheng left the study and went back and ordered: "Liansheng, you go and see if Master Lu Liu has gone back, and greet me for me."

Lian Sheng let out a hey and left the mansion.

After an hour, Lian Sheng came back and said that Lu Ziqing had asked him out.

Su Nancheng hurriedly changed his clothes and went.

He also wanted to ask about yesterday.

The two of them made an appointment with Feibailou as usual, and today it's just the two of them.

After setting up a table of fine noodles, Lu Ziqing arrived.

"Oh, you went back yesterday. It's amazing." Lu Ziqing sat down and drank a cup of tea: "I just came out of Jingzhao Mansion."

The Jingzhao Mansion also asked, and it was not easy for them to detain these young masters.Only those who came with Luo Chuanxian yesterday could not leave for the time being.

"I was shocked when I heard it early in the morning. What's going on? Why does this sound so weird to me?" Su Nancheng continued to serve him tea.

"Hey, who's to say no. This matter..." Lu Ziqing shook his head: "Not to mention, I saw Yu Dai lying on the ground next to the couch this morning. The room is very big. That girl was How did you see the blood under the door?"

Lu Ziqing first described what happened early in the morning in detail, and then asked back.

"So, I'm afraid someone in the Qingfeng Building knows about this?"

"Who knows, this Qingfeng Tower is privately said to be the property of His Highness the Fourth Highness. Now this is killing two birds with one stone." Lu Ziqing said.

Su Nancheng laughed and shook his head: "It's really like a fog, but fortunately, you and I are fine."

"You're fine. I'm going to tell my elder brother to scold me. He hates me going to those places the most." Lu Ziqing smiled and picked up a piece of braised pork.

Whether it is being beaten or scolded, it is free and easy to eat first and then talk.

Su Nancheng didn't answer, he didn't have such a close brother.

When something like this happened in the capital, the dudes all calmed down.

It's not easy for the emperor to let Luo Chuanxian go directly.After all, this incident caused a lot of trouble in the city and no one knew about it. It would be too outrageous to let it go directly.

Execution is impossible. It is absolutely impossible for a son of the Hou family to lose his life for a woman in a brothel.

This is the tragedy of the times.

But his reputation could not be preserved.

Moreover, with this matter in his head, he would not be able to be an official if he wanted to.

So now the emperor is also very embarrassed.

Princess Changning cried and cried, but she couldn't silence everyone who knew about it.

I can only secretly hate that on days like yesterday, many people in the capital who had nothing to do went to Qingfeng Tower.

People have passed on the word that they have already walked eighteen times.

When Su Nancheng's vacation is over, he goes to Zuochunfang to report.Immediately, he was called to the East Palace.

The prince also inquired about this matter: "Do you know about this matter? I heard that you are also there?"

Su Nancheng knew about this, so he said everything he could say.

"I also feel strange."

The prince nodded: "This matter is indeed interesting."

"I heard that Miss Yudai is very beautiful, it's a pity."

"Yes, I just took a look at it from a distance that day, and it was really good." Su Nancheng said.

"By the way, Second Young Master Liu is also present. He and Luo Chuanxian have always been at odds. What did you see that day?" The prince suddenly asked after changing the subject.

"Returning to His Highness, I just watched them fight that day. In the end, the young master won, and the second son Liu was very polite. He left early."

The prince hummed and leaned back: "Then this is really strange."

"I don't know the details of this matter. However, I heard that the Qingfeng Tower also has a lot of background. When this happened, it was only temporarily banned, not closed." Su Nancheng said deliberately.

The prince really understood: "Well, I have heard of this loneliness."

While talking, a eunuch called out from outside.

Su Nancheng tactfully withdrew.

After a while, Su Nancheng knew what was going on.

It turned out that General Zhu and his party, who suppressed the bandits, had returned to Beijing.

It's a pity that the court only considers this a trivial matter, and they only need to go to the Ministry of War to hand over their military power.Then enter the palace to see His Majesty.

It's over if you reward something.

There is no such thing as an official promotion.

The lost princess was not found, nor was Zheng Tu.

It was nothing more than killing some bandits gathered near Gyeonggi.

Here, it is obvious whether anyone has really followed Zheng Tu.No.

Zheng Tu thought he had defected, but it was a pity that Princess Jiu was taken away by him.

There is no one in the Zheng family, only Zheng Tu's wife, a son and a daughter.

Now that it can be judged that Zheng Tu is a defector, his family will naturally not be let go.

General Zhu and the others returned to Beijing in the afternoon, and in the evening, Emperor Long ordered the Zheng family to be confiscated.And the homes of Zheng Tu's lieutenants.

It was only after this search of the house that several lieutenants secretly took away close family members.

It was also because of the inaction of the officials of the DPRK and China that it took so long to find out.

In this way, there are countless people involved, but they cannot handle the case in a fair and honest manner.

All the family members of these people can only be exiled on the charge of dereliction of duty and escape.

Some people are destined not to go to the place of exile, such as Zheng Tu's children.

This stupid matter was finally arranged for General Zhu and his party.

There is no benefit, it is fishy all over.

Su Nancheng didn't deliberately go to see them, his identity was inappropriate.

Even the prince would not dare to make friends with the general.

So Su Nancheng just asked Cheng Ming to go to General Fei's residence and gave him a basket of fresh apricots.

It also means that everyone understands each other.

When it was delivered, General Hu was eating here, picked up a few apricots, rubbed them on his body and ate them: "Boy, why don't I bring you some apricots?"

General Fei also picked up one, wiped it and broke it open: "This basket is much more valuable than others."

General Hu looked at the apricot in his hand puzzledly, then at General Fei, and clicked his tongue: "Come on, I don't understand. Just tell me what I should do."

"No need to do anything, everything will be as usual. I have other plans." Fei Jiu threw half an apricot into his mouth.

"People outside say I'm a fox, but I think I'm a hyena. I won't let go if I stare at a bit of blood."

General Hu sighed: "Actually, I still don't understand. Even if that kid is really useful, why do you take a fancy to him?"

"Do you think that if you get married that day, is there a possibility that you will never return? He has many children in the Su family. Since he sent a concubine Su Yingyu, why can't he choose another concubine son? I don't think he has any grievances and patience. He has worked hard all the way. He is also at ease. It looks like he is voluntary."

Fei Jiu put one leg on the stone steps and sat down.
