Resourceful beauty

Chapter 4 Hope
"Daddy, Daddy..."

With a solution in mind, Fang Ruxuan suddenly felt that her whole body was warmed up, giving her infinite strength.

In order to prevent the matter from leaking, Fang Ruxuan called Fang Qizhi loudly, and wrote a line on the open space in front of the cell: The imperial envoy sent by the court is Eunuch Xu, the sage's close servant. This person is quite trusted by the sage, but Ask for help.

In the cell separated by a wall, Fang Qizhi and Fang Zhengjun looked at the line with suspicion.

After many years in the capital, Fang Qizhi naturally knew who was around the emperor, but Eunuch Xu was just a eunuch, would it be useful to ask him for help?

What's more, even Fang Qizhi, let alone Fang Ruxuan, doesn't know who the imperial envoy who will come to interrogate tomorrow is.

Fang Qizhi smiled wryly, and shook his head slightly, obviously, he didn't believe Fang Ruxuan's words.

The father's silence made Fang Ruxuan realize the problem in an instant, and she wrote anxiously on the ground: Father, trust me.

Those four simple words weighed heavily on Fang Qizhi's heart, and scenes from the past clearly appeared before his eyes.

Fang Qizhi clearly remembered that that year, he went to Huzhou for business, and when he came back, the whole family was solemn, and his second concubine Su Yuan had a miscarriage and was bedridden.

Su Yuan lay pitifully in Fang Qizhi's arms and cried, saying that she was kind enough to visit Fang Ruxuan, but Fang Ruxuan pointed her nose and scolded her, and finally pushed her out, causing her to fall and have a miscarriage.

There were all witnesses and material evidence, and all the blame was directed at Fang Ruxuan, making her irrefutable.

At that moment, Fang Qizhi was a little out of breath.

What he was angry with was not that Fang Ruxuan caused Su Yuan to have a miscarriage, but that his daughter, whom he had always been proud of, had become such a hot-tempered person who could not distinguish between right and wrong, and was no longer the gentle and quiet daughter he used to be.

Among the children under his knees, Fang Qizhi's eldest son Fang Zhengjun is the one he relies on the most, and Fang Ruxuan is the one he loves the most. From babbling to toddler, Fang Qizhi's thoughts on this daughter are more than any other. That's a lot to spend on a child.

Therefore, when Fang Ruxuan was speechless when everyone corrected them with conclusive words, Fang Qi was furious. He not only whipped the maids around Fang Ruxuan and drove them out of the palace, but also sent Fang Ruxuan to visit her mother in the ancestral hall. Su Xin knelt in front of the coffin for three hours.

The stubborn Fang Ruxuan knelt on her knees for three days and three nights.

No matter who tries to coax him, he refuses to get up.

In desperation, Fang Qizhi put down his face and went to coax him personally. At that time, Fang Ruxuan only said four words: Father, trust me.

With dry and peeling lips, aggrieved but stubborn eyes that refused to shed tears, and a shaky figure, Fang Ruxuan at that moment, although she didn't say anything, was crying about her grievance everywhere.

It wasn't until that time that Fang Qizhi felt that this matter might not be what he saw before.

Fang Qizhi used the method of using troops to fight against the enemy before in the inner house, and after a thorough investigation, Fang Qizhi learned the truth.

Su Yuan was not pregnant, she just wanted to take the opportunity to offend the people around Fang Ruxuan, and bow to her when Fang Ruxuan was helpless.

So, Su Yuan used such a small trick.After all, the whole house is her people, all she has to do is to anger Fang Ruxuan, as for what happened later, it is extremely simple.

Fang Qizhi regretted it.

After her original wife, Su Xin, died of illness, this daughter became more obsessed with and relied on her. In the past few years, she seemed to have grown up overnight from a young age, and she didn't let herself worry about everything. When her children were angry and involved her, she never felt wronged and cried, saying that her mother was gone, and she wanted to be a caring little padded jacket for her father.

At this moment, although Fang Ruxuan's words made Fang Qizhi feel unbelievable, but the weight of these words made him temporarily put aside his doubts and start to think seriously.

However, even if Eunuch Xu is an imperial envoy, even if Eunuch Xu is deeply trusted by Emperor Rui'an, he is only an eunuch after all, and eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics. Are his words really useful?

What Fang Qizhi didn't know was that after a few years, Eunuch Xu was already the hottest person in the capital. When Prime Minister Qiu Zongde came in front of him, he wanted to flatter and flatter him.

Fang Qizhi lowered his head and began to think seriously, as if he was thinking about how to meet Eunuch Xu before the interrogation, and what conditions to impress him so that he could speak for him.

Across the wall, although only the sound of her father's breathing could be heard, Fang Ruxuan knew that her father had already taken her words into his heart.

Fang Ruxuan became a little excited, as if the matter had succeeded.

Although Fang Ruxuan had never met Eunuch Xu, Fang Ruxuan had heard a lot about him during the five years in Wutong Garden.

At first, Fang Ruxuan felt that Eunuch Xu was a greedy person, because whenever there was a decree from the palace to reach the prime minister's mansion, Eunuch Xu would come to announce the decree, and the prime minister's mansion thanked him for his hard work. It will be less than 1000 taels.

Fang Ruxuan also learned from the nuns chatting quietly that Qiu Zongde bought a three-entry house on the Lotus Lane in the capital and gave it to Eunuch Xu.

Later, the more she knew, the more Fang Ruxuan understood why Eunuch Xu was so valued by Emperor Rui'an.

When Emperor Rui'an was still the little prince, Eunuch Xu was by his side to serve him. When he was crowned prince, and then ascended the throne as emperor, Eunuch Xu was the closest person to him.

The most taboo in the court is to form cliques, so, as the emperor's close minister, Eunuch Xu is naturally the one who is courted by the courtiers. However, for so many years, besides serving Emperor Rui'an, Eunuch Xu returned to his own place in the capital. In the small house, he never participated in the banquets of the people in the court, and he never received anyone who visited his private house.

Unbiased, only serve Emperor Rui'an wholeheartedly, in the eyes of Eunuch Xu, it seems that Emperor Rui'an is the only one.

In the sixth year of Rui'an, Emperor Rui'an went to the palace to escape the summer heat. While hunting, a wounded tiger jumped up when everyone let down their vigilance, and rushed towards Emperor Rui'an who had shot and wounded it. Eunuch Xu, who was closest to Emperor Rui'an, rushed forward desperately to block in front of Emperor Rui'an.

Emperor Rui'an was safe and sound, but a piece of flesh was torn off Eunuch Xu's back, which was horrific. Afterwards, he lay on the bed for half a year before recuperating.

After that, Eunuch Xu was even more valued by Emperor Rui'an.

In the past five years, among the rumors in the capital, Eunuch Xu's name appeared only once.

At that time, Yang Ge retired from office, and there was quite a dispute between the court and the central government about the person who filled the vacancy.Prime Minister Qiu Zongde and Emperor Taifu Yan each proposed a candidate, but they were at a stalemate, and Emperor Rui'an was also quite troubled by this.

In private, Eunuch Xu just casually said that the person supported by Taifu Yan, who abandoned the chaff in high school and married his teacher's beloved daughter, may not be a firm-minded person.

In the early morning of the next day, the person recommended by Prime Minister Qiu Zongde entered the cabinet smoothly.

Eunuch Xu seldom speaks in front of the Holy Master, but once he speaks, it is imperative.

Therefore, this is also the reason why Fang Ruxuan is so determined to ask Eunuch Xu for help that it will be useful.

"Xuan'er, you need something to rely on when asking for help, but we have no leverage to persuade him."

After thinking about it for a long time, Fang Qizhi wrote in the open space in front of him with some embarrassment.

Knowing that her father believed her, Fang Ruxuan quickly wrote another line: Entrust all the family property, ask Eunuch Xu to meet the emperor on Zhou Xuan's behalf, and strive for a chance to go to Beijing to defend himself. This is the only turning point right now.

After finishing writing, Fang Ruxuan also drew a circle on the word "all" to indicate the key point.

Looking at the line of words, Fang Qizhi became even more puzzled.

The property of Prince Qi's Mansion was confiscated as early as five thousand imperial guards stationed in the mansion. At this moment, where is there any property left?
Fang Zhengjun next to him thought for a while, and his expression changed drastically.

Glancing at the handwriting on the ground, he whispered a few words into Fang Qizhi's ear, and sure enough, Fang Qizhi's face was shocked.

The family properties that were confiscated from Prince Qi's Mansion were the gold and silver antiques stored in the warehouse of the Prince's Mansion, as well as well-documented farm shops, but just like other big families, some of the properties of Prince Qi's Mansion were kept outside, which was unknown.

Although there is no shady business, there are always some newly expanded business names that have not had time to establish a unified account book for deployment.

Even if it is only a part, the amount is quite astonishing.

From the time he was imprisoned in Jiangbei Prison, Fang Qizhi knew that he was doomed to die. After all, none of the charges of treason and collaborating with the enemy has ever come to a good end.

However, thinking that he was wronged, how could the higher-ups send people to interrogate such a big case, even if he was doomed to die, the children under his knees would still have a way out, so Fang Qizhi thought to himself about those properties I hope that one day I can give it to them, so that they will not be miserable and helpless in the days to come.

At this moment, Fang Qizhi didn't even doubt how Fang Ruxuan, a girl, knew about the private property of the palace.

Now, although the only part of the family property left in his hands is incomparable to before, the amount is enough to make Eunuch Xu moved.

Besides, I didn't ask him to say something nice in front of Emperor Rui'an, but just accommodated him and passed on a message. It was just a request to meet Emperor Rui'an. With such a large fortune in front of him, Eunuch Xu would not refuse .

While Fang Ruxuan was anxiously waiting for her father's reply, there was a commotion outside the cell. Without thinking about it, Fang Ruxuan reached out and wiped out the few lines written in front of her.

As soon as he sat down against the wall, he heard footsteps, and a jailer stood beside him, preaching loudly: "The hall will open at noon tomorrow, and the imperial envoy will be sent by the court. You should think about how to confess tomorrow." You can suffer less punishment, otherwise, you will have to experience the top ten tortures in the prison in Funan City."

After saying that, the jailer turned around and wanted to leave.

"The official stays behind..."

Fang Zhengjun's words sounded, and the jailer stopped. Fang Zhengjun hesitated and asked, "Please tell me, who is the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court this time?"

Fang Zhengjun is the eldest son of Prince Qi, if this disaster had not happened, he would be the eldest son of Prince Qi in the future.

In the past, these jailers probably would have never seen Fang Zhengjun in their entire lives. Now, Fang Zhengjun respectfully called him "Officer" twice, and the jailer suddenly became a little light-hearted.

There was a smile in his eyes, but the jailer's face was still stern. He turned his head and gave Fang Qizhi and Fang Zhengjun a sideways glance. He raised his voice and said, "It's Eunuch Xu who is beside you."
