Dirty color

Chapter 164 Dilemma
Feng Qingli is in a good mood at the moment.

He smiled like a cat stealing fish, his face was rippling, like spring flowers in full bloom.

Because it was rare to see Feng Qingli like this, Cheng Xun was a little surprised and strange, so he accidentally spilled tea on the table to wet the information on the case. As a result, Feng Qingli just glanced at him and smiled slightly. Frowning, said: "Be careful."

Chengxun was stunned!

If I had made such mistakes in the past, my master would never let me off if I didn't scold him for being a waste of snacks, or let him practice hard, but today, it turned out to be just a wrinkle. Frowning, let him "carefully"...

This is really scary and abnormal, isn't it!

Cheng Xun went out in a trance, stood at the door in a daze, Cheng An came, seeing Cheng Xun's appearance, he couldn't help but asked strangely: "Cheng Xun, what's wrong with you?"

Cheng Xun stared blankly at Cheng An, but didn't answer. With that look, Cheng An felt uneasy, and asked in a low voice, "Could it be that the master is in a bad mood and asked you to practice hard again?"

Thinking that Feng Qingli might be in a bad mood, Cheng An felt that this world was too scary, he didn't want to see the bad mood, what should he do?
But, that's not right, after my grandfather came out of the Marquis of Shun'an's mansion yesterday, he was in a very good mood, his smile was so rippling, Cheng An felt that if he hadn't been sitting in the carriage, his grandfather would have been so beautiful!

It's impossible to feel bad so quickly.

"No...not..." Cheng Xun blinked, shook his head and said, "Master is in a good mood, and he didn't ask me to practice."

It was because he was too pleasant, so he felt a little unbearable.

Cheng Xun couldn't help shaking again.

He didn't know that Feng Qingli touched Gu Mingxuan's little hand yesterday!
I got it!
Soft and smooth!

The skin is like gelatin!

I want to touch it even after touching it!
It's best not to let go!
Therefore, Feng Qingli was in a very good mood. Although he was glared at by Gu Mingxuan and clapped his hands hard, he was just happy.

My heart is very beautiful.

Because of this, Feng Qingli was so amiable when Cheng Xun made a mistake today, and she just said a word and it was over.

Cheng Xun was trembling outside, but Cheng An had something to report to Feng Qingli. Seeing Cheng Xun's appearance, he seemed to be frightened, but he didn't appear to be reprimanded, so Cheng An felt relieved.

"Master, the people at Yongxiang have already made arrangements, and the servant has already given her the medicine. She will take the medicine for Feng Qingheng on time." Cheng An was going to arrange for the third prince who had been deposed as a common man. Things go.

Naturally, Feng Qingli couldn't just kill Feng Qingheng so blatantly, so he needed Feng Qingheng to die naturally.

And if you want Feng Qingheng to die by herself as you discussed with Xuan'er, it is very necessary to make Feng Qingheng go crazy, but although Feng Qingheng is drinking to drown her sorrows every day, there is no reason to go crazy signs.

Feng Qingli waited for a while, and confirmed that no one was paying attention to Yongxiang, so she arranged for someone to prescribe medicine to Feng Qingheng—some medicines can refresh the mind, and a little overdose can make people excited , if the dose is a little heavier, it will be irritable and restless, and if it takes a little longer, it will really go crazy.

Thinking that Feng Qingheng would go crazy and die soon, Feng Qingli became a little excited—Mother, did you see that my son is avenging you.

Trying to suppress the excitement in her heart, Feng Qingli clenched her fists, and after a while, she asked, "Where's that bitch Mu?"

In this world, there is no more majestic concubine Mu Xian, there is only Mu family who is a cold palace picker.

How easy it is to punish a girl.

There was no need for him to do anything, those harem women who had been harmed by that bitch of the Mu family all stepped forward one after another, throwing stones at the Mu family. Feng Qingli had thought about how to torture that bitch of the Mu family to relieve their hatred. However, he only discovered yesterday that his imagination is really too barren compared to those women in the harem.

All he has to do is watch.

However, compared to letting Feng Qingheng die, Feng Qingli hoped that that bitch of the Mu family would live a long, long life and endure the pain of time. Therefore, Feng Qingli deliberately let Cheng An go Arrange for people to check Mu Shi's pulse every two days, all kinds of tonics must not be stopped, and must ensure that Mu Shi can live for a long time.

When Cheng An heard Feng Qingli ask Mu's, he said: "Don't worry, Lord, it has been arranged, and someone from Tai Hospital will come to consult the doctor every other day."

Feng Qingli waved her hand and let Cheng An go out.

Then, he opened the drawer, and there was a painting inside - it was a portrait that Gu Mingxuan gave him, and the person on it was Princess Huaqing.

A road map hidden in it has been taken out by Feng Qingli, and he has already sent someone he absolutely trusts to look at it, and found the place where the things are hidden, but the incident of Xiaoxue's rebellion happened some time ago , Already, a few more spies were cleared out from the hidden guards, so he was afraid of leaking the secrets, so he never asked anyone to pick them up.

Moreover, the main reason is that Feng Qingli felt that she was useless before. After all, does he have the ambition to fight for world hegemony? As long as he can live a peaceful life after avenging his mother, it will be fine.

But now, Feng Qingli feels that in this world, you can't be safe if you want to be safe. Only when you hold the supreme power can you be safe.

Therefore, he wants this world.

But if he wanted this world, he needed people and money, so he decided to take out all his belongings and use them where they should be used.

It's just that whoever is allowed to go has to be considered carefully.

While Feng Qingli was thinking, there was another knock on the door.

He frowned slightly, and after putting the portrait in his hand, he said in a deep voice, "Come in."

"The final general will see His Royal Highness King Yong." It was one of Feng Qingli's hidden guard leaders who came in. After he came in, he first saluted Feng Qingli, and then talked about Qi Feiming.

The people under him are responsible for monitoring some people Feng Qingli needs to monitor and follow, and then summarize them to him, and then he will report to Feng Qingli.

"what's up?"

"Reporting to His Highness King Yong, Qi Feiming is already starting the next step, and will follow His Highness's instructions in the future."

Hearing his words, Feng Qingli's spirit was lifted. He was very interested in rectifying Qi Feiming. Hearing that Qi Feiming's affairs had already started the next step, Feng Qingli rubbed her chin and smiled.

Feng Qingli was laughing, but Qi Feiming couldn't laugh anymore.

Originally, he was very complacent recently. Although he warned himself to be cautious, after all, his status is still very low now. If he is a little arrogant, he may offend people who shouldn't be offended, which will lead to his own bad luck. However, Qi Feiming But I still felt the change in the attitude of my superiors and peers towards me.

They looked down on him before, but now, although they are not here to curry favor with him, they have begun to respect him.

This is all because he has recently gained the respect of the Fifth Prince.

So Qi Feiming strikes while the iron is hot, and invites his colleagues to a restaurant to have dinner and drink to connect with each other.

Someone in the restaurant is telling a story.

When he went in, Qi Feiming heard a few words, but he didn't pay attention to them. When he went out to use the bathroom in the middle, he listened a little more. Qi Feiming felt that something was wrong. He couldn't help but stop and listen. Then, Qi Feiming's face began to change!
But now, he couldn't act rashly, so he could only go back to the private room and continue drinking with his peers.

It's just that there is something in my heart, and it is brought out on the face.

"Haha, Xiao Qi can't drink enough, no, this is starting to change his face." One of Qi Feiming's colleagues didn't know Qi Feiming's change in heart, and thought that Qi Feiming's change of face was because he drank too much alcohol, so he laughed and joked Qi Feiming said: "Little Qi you can't do this, with such a drinking capacity, Xiao Dengke in the future bridal chamber wedding night, you will get drunk, what should you do?"

Others will laugh heartily.

The other said to Qi Feiming: "It's easy to handle, we are all brothers, and we can still watch Xiao Qi's bridal chamber without meat. Come on, Xiao Qi treats brother to a few drinks, and wait until you get married." When the time comes, my brother will help you stand up to those bad things."

Qi Feiming hurriedly suppressed the worry and displeasure in his heart, and said to his peers with a smile on his face: "I have written down what Brother Zhang said. If Brother Zhang can't do it by then, don't blame me for complaining in front of my sister-in-law." , I know about Brother Zhang secretly drinking outside."

All the people burst out laughing.

During the exchange of toasts, everyone drank a lot, and Qi Feiming himself did too. However, after sending the others away, Qi Feiming's complexion gradually became gloomy. After returning home and washing his face, he asked someone to inquire about the news and read this storybook Yes, what the hell is going on.

The servant brought a piece of very bad news to Qi Feiming—the story told by the storyteller was not only told in the restaurant where Qi Feiming entertained his colleagues today, but also in many other restaurants in the capital. Say this.

Qi Feiming's expression changed drastically!
From this point of view, this is definitely not an accident, it is completely, it is that someone specially made this incident into a story and told it in various restaurants. What are they doing for it?

Do you want to fuck yourself?

No, no, no... Qi Feiming doesn't think he has the qualifications to be targeted like this.

Qi Feiming sent someone out to find out how these storytellers got this story.

But they didn't get any useful news. They all said that when they woke up at night, they found a written scripture book next to the bed, and there was a silver coin and a letter. If you tell a story, within half a month, if you tell it well, you will be rewarded. If you don’t tell it well—anyway, if they can let go of these things without anyone noticing, they can also unknowingly put their Head off.

Under such a threat, the storytellers dare not disobey—they used to talk to make money, so they always told stories about wits and beautiful women, which others love to listen to, but now a piece of silver by the bed is enough for them. Talking about the income of half a year's book, so it is not unacceptable to spend half a month to talk about this compiled script.

Therefore, they were very attentive and began to talk about the story.

After hearing the results of such an investigation, Qi Feiming felt something was wrong.

Who the hell is this man doing?

Before he could continue to investigate the next day, Qi Feiming was summoned by his boss, Zhang Zhi, after he went to the yamen of the Tongzheng Envoy in the morning.

Zhang Zhi's smile is always more permeable, it's better not to smile kindly, now when he smiles and looks at Qi Feiming, Qi Feiming feels a little uneasy.

"Please refer to Mr. Zhang for a humble job." Qi Feiming bowed to Zhang Zhi.

"Sit." Zhang Zhi pointed to the chair opposite him, and asked Qi Feiming to sit down. Afterwards, he asked straight to the point: "It's like this. It's not convenient for Jingzhao Mansion Yin to investigate, so the emperor transferred the matter to me. This is the emperor's trust in me. Let me think about it. It's been a long time since Qi Zhen asked you to join us as the general secretary. The things you did the first two times are also beautiful, so I plan to leave this matter to you to investigate."

With that said, Zhang Zhi handed the honorary copy of the pleadings to Qi Feiming.

Qi Feiming took it respectfully, and then opened the pleading paper.

Afterwards, Qi Feiming's complexion changed - this pleading paper is a merchant surnamed Shang who sued the Pei family for seizing family treasures, framing them, luring them to gamble, and finally causing the destruction of other people's families!

Qi Feiming thought of those storytellers who suddenly appeared in the restaurant in the past two days. They told the same story—although the Pei family was replaced by the Wei family, and the Shang family was replaced by the Chang family, but the overall story , but it is exactly the same as that on the pleadings.

In other words, it was exactly the same as what Qi Feiming himself had done.

However, the Shang family is not suing Qi Feiming, but the Pei family.

Qi Feiming would never think that the Shang family sued the Pei family because they knew that Luo Zongsheng's beauty picture was in the hands of Pei Songyan. This matter is definitely not that simple!
He felt that he had fallen into someone else's trap. He obviously did this by himself, but the other party directly pointed the finger at the Pei family - if they aimed at the Pei family, wouldn't they be targeting the Fifth Prince?

More importantly, now, the right to investigate this matter has fallen into his own hands.

Qi Feiming felt that the people behind the scenes already knew that he had done this, but in order to achieve his goal, he deliberately poured dirty water on the Pei family, and at the same time, gave Qi Feiming another chance - a person who could It's a chance for Qi Feiming to put aside his own suspicions and point all the evidence at the Pei family.

Or, Qi Feiming is loyal to the Pei family and the fifth prince, and takes the matter on himself, then the Pei family can jump out of this pit, and Qi Feiming himself will fall into the pit. Although he won't die, and it's unlikely he will be dismissed from office, but Being relegated is absolute.

Or, Qi Feiming took the opportunity of investigating the case to annihilate the evidence of his own evil, and fabricated some "hard evidence" to drag the Pei family into the water. In this way, Qi Feiming saved himself, but after that, he never had the opportunity to rely on the fifth prince. Even if he is by his side, he will even be regarded as an enemy by the fifth prince and the Pei family.

Dilemma.

The difficult choice was placed in front of Qi Feiming.

The mind of the person who designed it... is really scary.

Qi Feiming's heart was very restless, but in front of Zhang Zhi, he could only try to calm himself down, read the pleading paper with a serious look, then looked at Zhang Zhi, and waited for Zhang Zhi's order.

"The emperor values ​​Qi Zhenfu very much. I hope Qi Zhenfu will not disappoint the emperor this time." Zhang Zhi's words were very meaningful. Qi Feiming didn't understand Zhang Zhi's meaning for a while, but it didn't hinder Qi Feiming Understand what to do at this time.

He immediately expressed his loyalty, sang praises to the emperor, and slapped Zhang Zhi's flattery without any trace, and Zhang Zhi let Qi Feiming go out with a piercing smile.

Looking at Qi Feiming's back, Zhang Zhi smiled slyly.

Zuo Tongzheng, who is the Tongzheng envoy, the actual power holder of the Tongzheng envoy, and the most trusted eyes and ears of the emperor, wouldn't he know that Qi Feiming has already taken refuge in the fifth prince!
As for the process of Qi Feiming taking refuge with the fifth prince, Zhang Zhi naturally found out clearly.

Therefore, Zhang Zhi knew very well that Qi Feiming did the work of the Shang family, and the purpose of Qi Feiming's doing this was to get the painting of the Shang family, so that he could curry favor with Pei Songyan, so that he could rely on the fifth prince.

From Zhang Zhi's personal standpoint, Zhang Zhi will not keep this kind of person who cannot be loyal to the emperor. The fifth prince who is expected to win the heir can't intervene either.

Qi Feiming helped the fifth prince with a few things, and he was very unhappy.

But after all, this person was just transferred in by the emperor, if he killed him soon, it would not look good on the emperor, so Zhang Zhi decided to talk about it slowly.

At this time, what Qi Feiming did happened to turn a corner and was revealed, and it was revealed in a strange way—the storyteller in the restaurant told the whole story completely. After that, they all said clearly.

Afterwards, it was the Shang family who sued the Pei family for stealing and plundering, causing the family to be ruined and killed.

How strange, a merchant sued the wealthy family Pei's family.

If there is nothing strange about this matter, Zhang Zhi would not believe it.

He went to see the emperor immediately, but the emperor's instruction was to let him hand over the matter to Qi Feiming - Zhang Zhi had already told the emperor about the cause and effect of this matter, and the emperor also knew that the instigator of the matter, It was Qi Feiming, so why did the emperor leave the matter to Qi Feiming?
Zhang Zhi was very clear about his own position. He was the eyes, ears and sword in the hands of the emperor. One was to inquire about the news and monitor the courtiers for the emperor, and the other was to carry out the things the emperor told him to the letter.

As an eyes and ears and a sword, naturally he doesn't need to have his own thoughts, so Zhang Zhi went out of the palace and explained the matter to Qi Feiming.

But this didn't prevent Zhang Zhi from pondering the emperor's thoughts. After all, the emperor's eyes, ears and sword could be exchanged at any time. If he didn't figure out the emperor's thoughts and did something wrong, it would be a disaster.

Could this be the emperor's way of punishing Qi Feiming?Let Qi Feiming have to break with the fifth prince himself in order to protect himself?
It's not like...the emperor doesn't need to care about a small appeasement at all, he doesn't have the qualifications?

Is the emperor warning the fifth prince?
Zhang Zhi pondered secretly, but couldn't figure it out, so he could only give up.

And after Qi Feiming went out with the pleading paper, his mind became clearer, and then he remembered Zhang Zhi's meaningful words.

"The emperor values ​​Qi Zhenfu very much. I hope that Qi Zhenfu will not disappoint the emperor this time." After Zhang Zhi's words rang in Qi Feiming's ears many times, Qi Feiming was suddenly startled!

Could it be that the emperor was dissatisfied with his leaning against the fifth prince, so he deliberately tested himself like this?

When Qi Feiming designed Shangjia, he didn't do it very confidentially. After all, he has limited ability and manpower for the time being. Therefore, Qi Feiming knows that if Zhang Zhizhen investigates this matter, he will definitely run away. not drop.

But now, the emperor asked him to investigate!
Doesn't this mean that the emperor thinks highly of him and wants to use him, so he is allowed to make a choice?
Qi Feiming gritted his teeth and decided to follow the emperor's wishes!
Yes, the fifth prince is basically the future emperor. If he offends the future emperor, he will definitely end badly. But if he doesn't follow the emperor's wishes now, maybe he won't even be able to see the sun tomorrow up.

As for the fifth prince, he could go to visit him. Even if he couldn't get an understanding, he could at least let the fifth prince know that he had no choice but to do things according to the emperor's will.

After all, that is the emperor.

Therefore, Qi Feiming was thinking about how he could get rid of himself from this matter, and how he could make the fifth prince not blame him.

Back home, Qi Feiming sent Huang Siyi to Pei's house to ask to see Pei Songyan.

Because the matter involved Pei Songyan, Pei Songyan was also invited to the court of Jingzhao Mansion Yin today, but Pei Songyan had a special status and was not imprisoned, so he returned to Pei's house at night.

Huang Siyi begged to see him and gave Qi Feiming's name.

Pei Songyan asked Huang Siyi to come in.

Huang Siyi talked about what Qi Feiming encountered today, and then apologized to Pei Songyan for Qi Feiming, and said: "My boss has thought about it, but in fact, this may not be a good thing. Now everyone thinks that my boss is the fifth prince. It may not be convenient for His Highness to do things. From then on, as long as the Fifth Prince and Mr. Pei treat my proprietor a little bit badly, others will only think that my proprietor is hated by His Highness. Maybe my proprietor can also play unexpected things It works."

Pei Songyan was noncommittal, and asked Huang Siyi to be sent out.

After Huang Siyi went out, he didn't return to Qi Feiming, but went around Feng Qingli's mansion instead.

Then, the Pei family who followed Huang Siyi watched Huang Siyi say a few words to an eunuch in Yongwang's mansion before they separated. After that, Huang Siyi returned to Qi's house.

Only then did the servants of the Pei family return to the Pei family and reported the matter to Pei Songyan.
