Xuanyuan Jue

Chapter 87
"Get up," Fu Yin held Feng Shen by the arm, "Nephew... Back then, when the old man protected you, he not only valued your ability, but more importantly, your chivalrous spirit! You must remember: this hero The great ones are for the country and the people. Eliminating violence and helping the good is only a small righteousness; it is a great hero to make the country safe and secure!"

Feng Shen nodded vigorously and said, "My nephew, keep it in mind!"

"Oh, wait a minute." Fu Yin seemed to remember something, and suddenly turned into the inner room.When I came out again, I had an extra package in my hand.

Feng Shen asked: "My lord, is this?"

"This is the silk in the front door," Fu Yin said, and handed the package to Feng Shen. "Tie Yuan tried every means to plunder the front door. I'm afraid it's just these silk papers. Fortunately, we took the first step and didn't let him succeed." The mystery of this silk is not yet known. For the sake of safety, you should properly hide these wrapped silks."

Feng Shen put the package away, "Don't worry, my lord! My nephew will take good care of it. Once the opportunity arises, I will bring down that thief Yuan!"

"It's not advisable to act too hastily!" Fu Yin waved his hand and said, "You are fighting against Yuan thief now, which is tantamount to shaking a tree. It's better to hide your strengths and bide your time, and then try to eliminate traitors... Alright nephew, I will prepare the table for you in a while." I'll have a few drinks."

After finishing speaking, Fu Yin called the old servant and sent him to buy wine and prepare vegetables.

Not long after, the old servant came back with a food box and laid out the bought wine and vegetables on the table.

Seeing that they were all plain vegetables, Fu Yin couldn't help frowning: "Uncle Liang, why don't you see meaty meat dishes?"

The old servant said: "Master, you have to keep the little money you have left as money... I am afraid that the road will not be enough, so the old servant made his own decision, and I can save a little bit..."

"Stupid! How much money can I spend on food?" Fu Yin scolded, "Go and exchange some good wine and food!"

The old servant wondered: "But this money..."

Seeing that the governor is so upright, Feng Shen couldn't help but be moved.He took out some money and stuffed it into the hands of the old servant: "Uncle Liang, please come and add two more dishes."

Fu Yin stopped and said, "How can this be done?"

"Friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, so you don't have to be polite!" Feng Shen persuaded, "Besides, my lord is about to leave, and my nephew should be a farewell party for you. Alright, my lord, let's sit down and drink!"

"Let my nephew laugh at you." Fu Yin couldn't make excuses, so he had to sit down.

Feng Shen sat down, filled two cups of wine, and handed one cup to Fu Yin: "My lord, my nephew respects you."

"Okay." Fu Yin took it and drank it all in one gulp.

Feng Shen also drank the wine, saying: "If Yuan thief can fall from the horse earlier, then he will be happy."

Fu Yin put down his chopsticks and sighed: "Why doesn't the old man think about it? To tell you the truth, my nephew, the old man and that Yuan thief not only have a national enmity, but also a family enmity!"

Feng Shen was startled: "Family hatred?"

"That's right," Fu Yin took a deep sip of his wine, and said bitterly, "My little daughter Que Ying and son-in-law Lin Xu all died at his hands!"

"What?" Feng Shen's expression froze, "The Lin Xulin Jieyuan among the six gentlemen is actually your lord's east bed?"

"That's right," Fu Yin said, "the Reformation was carried out in the year of [-], and because the traitor Yuan betrayed the truth, the Empress Dowager detained the Holy Majesty in Yingtai. Then the imperial court ordered that the reformers be hunted and killed. In order to repay the favor of the Holy Majesty, the son-in-law disregarded Safety, desperate to remonstrate. As a result... was beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market... The little girl heard the bad news and took the poison several times. Even with the care of her family, in the end she died because of excessive mourning..."

Feng Shen said angrily: "This Yuan thief is really an impermanent villain! Not only did he trap the king and the country, but he also caused Lin Jieyuan and Miss Queying to die!"

When the wine was full of sorrow, the governor could not help but feel sad: "The evil deeds of the Yuan thief made the old man chew his palate and beat the bed. However, the old man was sad and angry, but he never thought of taking revenge. Unexpectedly, the edict actually said that the old man' Falsifying the public for the benefit of the private, slandering the good people'..."

Feng Shen comforted: "Your Excellency, don't be sad. Now the temple is deaf and blind, and there is no distinction between innocence and filth. Your Excellency is diligent in politics and upright in dealing with things, and the world will judge fairly!"

Fu Yin wiped his face and sighed: "It is said that people are always sentimental, and it seems that this old man is no exception... let's not mention the sad things! Nephew, before leaving, this old man has nothing valuable to give. The collection of poems should be taken as a souvenir."

As he spoke, Fu Yin took out a volume of booklets from his sleeve.

Feng Shen quickly picked it up, "My lord, is this?"

Fu Yin said: "My son-in-law and my little girl like writing and writing. The "Wan Cuixuan Collection" is the manuscript of my son-in-law, and "The Posthumous Manuscript of Yanlou" is written by my daughter. I have no spare money to print it into a magazine. I have to copy it by myself and make it into a volume to express my grief. Now, this old man will give you this volume as a gift!"

"Thank you for your generosity, my lord!" Feng Shen held the collection of poems tightly, as if he had found a rare treasure, "My nephew must study it carefully and carry forward their unfulfilled ambitions!"

Fu Yin nodded and said gratifiedly: "My nephew's words are very much appreciated by the old man. I think that in the beginning, in order to change the decline of the Qing Dynasty, so many reformers wept their blood to manifest their ambitions and risked their lives to change. If they are self-styled and stick to the weak, they will only accumulate more and more." The poor and the weak. Learning from the barbarians to strengthen ourselves and spreading Western learning to the east is the right way to help the country..."

Before Fu Yin finished speaking, there was a sudden applause from outside the hall: "Well said!"

Immediately afterwards, the hall door opened, and Prince Su strode in.

Seeing this, Fu Yin and Feng Shen hurriedly left the table to pay their respects: "Your Majesty looks down on you in vain, sincerely and fearfully..."

"Brother Zhiyu is always going to make trouble, so he has to engage in these red tapes?" Prince Su straightened Fu Yin, "Feng Shen, you should get up too, sit down and talk."

Fu Yin and Feng Shen followed their advice and returned to their seats.At this time, Liang Bo also came back with vegetables, added chopsticks and dishes, and replaced all the seasonal fruits, fat chicken and fresh fish he bought with noodles.

"Hey, isn't it quite rich?" Suqin Dynasty took a look at the table and smiled, "It's rare that you'Mr. Shen' bleeds once, but you didn't come to call me. It's not kind, it's really not kind... Hahaha ..."

"My lord made fun of me," Fu Yin said, "I'm ashamed to say that I should be appointed as an official, but let nephew Feng Xian spend money on broken banknotes..."

"I don't care about that, anyway, I'm sure I'll eat the wine," King Su said, taking out a bank note from his pocket, "Don't worry, Brother Zhiyu, I won't eat you for nothing. Order Cheng Yi, it will be worth the meal."

Fu Yin stood up in a "chuckle": "My lord, what are you doing?"

"Sit down quickly, look at your stubborn neck!" Prince Su tensed his face, pretending to be angry, "What's the matter? Could it be that the king still bribed you? I don’t know? I know you are blind and lofty, so I don’t give much. Just 50 taels, in case of emergency on the road. It’s windy in Jinzhong, buy a thick leather jacket. That’s it! The king borrowed it from you!"

Feng Shen also persuaded from the side: "My lord, you can accept the kindness of the prince. The journey is far away, so I can pay more money..."

"Look, even Feng Shen is more sensible than you!" Prince Su smacked some food in his mouth, "Brother Zhiyu, don't talk about it, pretend quickly, don't delay drinking!"

The kindness is hard to turn down, so Fu Yin had no choice but to obey: "Thank you first, the prince, and I will definitely repay you in the future!"

"Don't mind! I just paid it back for such a small amount of money. Isn't this a shabby king?" Prince Su said, "Brother Zhiyu, you are in Shuntian Mansion, and you are building roads in the capital and doing surveying. In the school, almost all the salary you get is paid into it... In the imperial court, there are not many officials like you..."

"My lord..." Feng Shen interjected, "It's rare to find a virtuous minister! On the other side of the court, have you ever stopped talking to your lord?"
