Su Da Zhao Feng

Chapter 139
The autumn wind is bleak and the waves are rising.

This autumn rain, not only the torrential rain, but also several news that moved the imperial city.

The young prime minister led several officials from the household department to the disaster-stricken area for disaster relief.

The son of Dongling no longer stays in Nanxu as a hostage, and will return to Dongling soon.

The corruption of dozens of important court officials was exposed, and the court was in panic.

Yuejiao, the daughter of the Minister of War, is engaged to the son of the second largest family in the imperial city.

Zheng Bitong, the daughter of Taichangqing, married Jing Yuhou, who was over [-] years old, and married in early October.

The first three news are quite sensational, and people can still be heard talking about them in the streets and alleys, especially the matter that the important officials of the court were exposed for corruption, bribery and oppression of the people. They took advantage of their power to embezzle public funds, occupy land, and rob people's daughters for all kinds of misdeeds. They were charged with heinous crimes and involved a wide range of people, and the main people involved were almost all high-ranking officials in the court and members of the royal family. Nan Xu As soon as the emperor read the memorial, Long Yan was furious, and immediately ordered a thorough investigation. Unexpectedly, the result of the search was even more serious than what was stated in the memorial. Emperor Nan Xu appointed the eldest prince as the imperial envoy to handle the case strictly.Therefore, during this period of time, the gates of the officials' mansions in the imperial city were closed, and they were in fear all day long, for fear of being implicated and causing family raids and extermination.

The autumn wind was bleak and the autumn rain was blowing. Officers and soldiers in armor were shuttling through the dead streets, escorting batch after batch of officials involved in the case. They walked heavily and neatly, stepping on the ground, as if stepping on the tense strings of everyone.

The entire imperial city was shrouded in dark clouds of fear and worry, and the criminal officials who were not on the list could not withstand such a frightening wind of arrest, and because they were closely linked, the eldest prince would sooner or later be The clues were found on him, and it would be better for him to surrender himself when the other party came to him, so they all went to plead guilty, and heard that Emperor Nan Xu's face was as black as black charcoal when he saw the memorial on the table.

As a result, the entire imperial city was wiped out, and the officials in the imperial court were also reshuffled. It can be said that the entire imperial court of Nanxu Kingdom has taken on a new look.

While everyone in the imperial city was in danger, the Prime Minister's Mansion was peaceful.

Fengya propped her chin up idly, watching the rainwater meandering down from the roof, forming strings of pearls, and then she was in a daze.

According to the time estimate, Dad should have arrived in Ming City, and now he has already started to deal with the flood, I don't know how he will deal with it?I don't know if he has a good rest and a good meal after traveling for several days?
All worries came to her heart one after another, making herself uneasy, she sighed quietly, she really shouldn't have listened to her father's words, and stayed alone in the mansion, only by staying by his side would she not be sitting here and thinking wildly.

At this time, Zhuying came over with a plate of fruit, and beside her was Xiao Huai who was bouncing around.

Seeing that the young lady was still frowning and sighing, Zhu Ying couldn't help sighing, the young lady really has a deep affection for the adult!

She put down the fruit plate and found that the young lady was still in her own thoughts and couldn't extricate herself. She blinked, as if thinking of something, she walked up to Fengya and smiled at her, "Miss, you have been staying in the prime minister's mansion recently, do you know what is happening outside?" Did something big happen?"

"What's the big deal?" The tone was clearly lacking in interest.

Before Zhuying could answer, Xiao Huai answered first, "I know, I know, there are rumors outside that uncle is wise and powerful and has caught many big worms, and many people are praising uncle for his hard work and love for the people! But why did uncle arrest Why do worms make people so admirable? Xiao Huai caught a big caterpillar in the garden yesterday and was scolded by sister Mei Xiang?"

Speaking of Xiao Huai's grievance at the end, Feng Ya and Zhu Ying were both amused by his pitiful appearance.

"No wonder I heard Mei Xiang howling like ghosts and wolves yesterday, and I was still wondering, who could scare the fearless Mei Xiang like this, so it turned out that you scared her with bugs!" Feng Ya laughed happily.

Xiao Huai was puffed up, "Why is Uncle being praised for the same thing, but Xiao Huai being scolded?"

Fengya smiled and pulled him to her, and then tried to show the earnestness of an elder, but no doubt she failed in the end, so she explained with a smile, "Your uncle didn't catch ordinary bugs, he caught Nan bugs. The moths in Xu Country only eat the hard-earned money of the people in Liming. They are bad people. The worms are just a metaphor for them. They burn, kill, loot, oppress the people, embezzle and accept bribes, and do all kinds of evil. If Nanxu Country is compared to a house, then they It's the moths on the beams, they gnaw on the pillars day and night, and sooner or later the house will collapse because of them, so your uncle wiped out the pests for the people and preserved Nanxu's century-old foundation, which makes people talk about it .”

After hearing this, Xiao Huai nodded solemnly, "So that's the case, and I will fight for the people like Uncle in the future."

Fengya looked at the adoration shining in his eyes, and felt an indescribable pride in her heart.

Daddy, look, you are not in the imperial city, and there are still legends about you in the imperial city.

She looked up at the gray sky, wondering when daddy would come back?

Seeing that Miss Zhuying began to miss you again, she was happy for him, but she couldn't bear the fact that the normally lively lady would be depressed every day because of this, and when she was thinking of what to say to attract the lady's attention, she saw Baizi Qianhong and the two came together, knowing that as long as these two rambunctious brats were around, the young lady would be happy, so she left with confidence.

Qianhong was the first to jump in front of Fengya. She looked like she had something important to tell, and said hastily, "Miss, are you the one who wants to get engaged to Miss Yue?"

Feng Ya has been staying in the prime minister's mansion for the past few days and she doesn't know, she raised her eyebrows and asked in doubt, "When did it happen?"

"Only two days ago, Yue's family arranged a marriage for her. I heard that yesterday the two families exchanged tokens of engagement." Bai Zi replied.

"I really didn't expect her to be engaged," Feng Ya couldn't help but sigh, and then asked, "Which family's son is the engagement?"

"The eldest son of the Lian family, Lian Anyi." Qianhong thought for a long time before she remembered.

"It can be considered as a son with a good family background." Fengya doesn't know the character of the children of these aristocratic families, but in terms of family power, this family is also well-known in the imperial city.

It's just that those obsessed daddy's eyes came to mind, Fengya suddenly remembered the meeting before Yuelao Temple, could it be that the reason she was crying at that time was because she was going to marry someone else, but the groom was not the one she liked?Feng Ya smiled wryly and shook her head.

"Miss, it's not just this matter, Miss Zheng may have married someone, but unfortunately the other party is the elderly Hou Ye." Qianhong sighed.

"Oh? Let's hear it." Feng Ya became interested again.

Qianhong immediately reported all the news she had found out. It turned out that Zheng Bitong's surprise dance at the banquet moved the middle-aged and widowed Lord Jing Yuhou, so he sent a matchmaker to come to propose marriage. Hearing that the woman was also willing After that, the two families exchanged Geng Tie and decided to get married in early October.

Fengya was very moved when she heard about it. She didn't know if it was because she had no intention of bringing about a marriage, or because she had missed her father and then married someone else in the early days. She never thought that so many things would happen when she and her father went to the Beihan border. , I can't help but sigh that people are right and things are wrong.

This is Sikong Xiu also walking forward, but the faint worry on the tip of his brow made Feng Ya tighten the string in his heart instantly.
