Chapter 531 Finding Fang Zhengyi
Inside the official office of Yuding City.
Feng Heng looked nervous at the person in front of him. After the servant brought tea, he cautiously said: "Eunuch Wei, please have tea."
Eunuch Wei twirled the tea cup, raised his little finger, and said with a sweet smile: "Master Feng, you're welcome."
"Shouldn't my father-in-law be in the border town? May I ask why you are here in Yuding City? Could something big happen?" Feng Heng said cautiously.
Although the Eunuch Wei in front of me has a small official position, his status is really special.
He never thought that the guarding official of Bian Town would come all the way to Yuding City. Could it be that he came to investigate the case of King Wu's rebellion?
As soon as Eunuch Wei's tea cup was brought to his mouth, he suddenly put it down again.
He looked at Feng Heng and said: "The matter is not big or small. Mr. Feng and Mr. Fang Zhengfang are missing. You don't know about it, right?"
"I heard that emergency reports have been issued south of Jianjiang, and inspection departments in various places have been ordered to conduct searches. Many local police stations have even sent troops to conduct searches. Why is there no movement from your side?"
Feng Heng laughed dryly and cursed in his heart.
After the Zhou family was wiped out by King Wu, it didn't take long for the news of King Wu's rebellion to come out. A closer look revealed that the Zhou family had colluded with King Wu!
These grandsons pay tribute to me every year and somehow become accomplices of the rebels!
The king of Wu tried to cut the grass and roots, but he couldn't get rid of it completely! He had to help him finish it off!
According to the household registration, I ran away for four weeks and there was a young master in my family. Moreover, those four people were in the city at the time. How could I be in the mood to find Fang Zhengyi now?
If these four people knew any secret, I was afraid that I would be killed first.
"Of course I know about this. Please don't worry, father-in-law. I have sent people to look for it privately. But...why did Eunuch Wei come in person?"
Eunuch Wei sighed: "Hey... Our godfather can't be worried. He specially ordered me to bring people to check in person! Now Dongchang doesn't know how many mountains he has climbed and how many villages and towns he has searched!"
"However, there is news recently that someone left marks and traces of a large number of people's activities in the mountains near Yuding City, so we guess that Mr. Fang may be in Yuding City!"
"The pressure from above is very strict. Your Majesty is anxious and ordered the guards to send people to conduct a thorough investigation. The prince also sent people to investigate privately. Then our godfather is even more anxious!"
"Who is Mr. Fang? He is now the commander of the Jinyi Guards personally appointed by His Majesty, and is a third-rank officer! Our godfather and he are brothers, so he is my uncle!"
"He should take the initiative to find the government. If there is no news for so long, he might be arrested as a refugee slave. Oh, my poor Uncle Fang, I don't know how much suffering he has suffered!" Speaking of this, Eunuch Wei pretended to be a slave.
A few tears.
"Jin...what is Jinyiwei?" Feng Heng was dumbfounded. Apparently he had never heard of Jinyiwei.
Eunuch Wei covered his mouth and smiled: "It's normal that you don't know. Our family just found out not long ago! News about Dongchang spread quickly, and I don't know how many horses were killed along the way at starry night!"
"This Jinyiwei is a newly established organization by His Majesty. To put it bluntly, it is responsible for handling cases all over the world and is only responsible for Your Majesty."
Feng Heng’s pupils suddenly shook!
He handles the world's cases and is responsible only for His Majesty... Don't the courtiers have any objections to this kind of decentralization of authority?
The imperial court is afraid that things will change!
"Sir, Mr. Feng, since I entered the city, I have seen that you are looking for criminals who have wiped out the family, and you have allocated a lot of manpower. Let's leave these small things aside for now. It's more important for me, Uncle Fang!"
"Yes...yes! What my father-in-law said makes sense. I will immediately send more manpower to look for Mr. Fang in the city." Feng Heng's expression became more stiff.
"Well, keep a low profile! I, Uncle Fang, have such an important status and live among the people. The court will be disgraced if I tell you!" Eunuch Wei sat down again and said intentionally or unintentionally: "Master Feng, I came early this time.
Yes, if there are no accidents, there may be other people who will talk to you about this matter."
"Our family is the first to look for you, and maybe my uncle has just arrived in Yuding City and will come over to look for you after he has rested. If you have any news, you must give it to me as soon as possible."
"Think about it, our godfather is in charge of the East Factory, and my uncle Fang is in charge of the royal guards. These are real relatives! If you find my uncle, you will get two favors. When I report back to my godfather, he will not be able to
If I say a few nice words to you in front of His Majesty, won’t you have a prosperous official career in the future?”
Feng Heng agreed repeatedly: "Yes, yes! For such a big matter, I must take care of Uncle Fang..."
"Hmm~?"
"Oh no! Find Mr. Fang!"
snort!
Eunuch Wei rolled his eyes at him charmingly, "That's my uncle, how dare you scream?"
"Okay, Mr. Feng, I won't disturb our family any more. If you have any news, please remember to inform me. Farewell!"
"Eunuch Wei, walk slowly!"
After sending Eunuch Wei out, Feng Heng sat in the public room in despair.
It's over, those four bastards haven't been found yet! I can't control the affairs in the capital, but Yu Dingcheng's tail must be swept clean!
Nowadays, there are conflicts again, and the forces in the city are mixed... What should we do?
After thinking for a while, Feng Heng waved to Sun Tongzhi, who was not far away, and asked: "How are those Zhou family thieves doing with their investigation? Is there any news?"
"Sir, there is no news at all! But don't worry, didn't we seal the city gate as soon as possible so that we can't get in or out? They must still be in the city and can't escape from our hands!" Sun Tong knew.
"Fart! Now there are people coming from the capital, and everyone in Dongchang is secretly searching the city. If they know what to order, can you still keep your head? You didn't take the Zhou family's money?!" Feng Heng was furious: "Immediately! This
Investigate me in a few days! We must find those thieves and behead them in public!"
Sun Tong realized later that he also felt something was not good at this time, and hesitantly said: "Can you look for Mr. Fang?"
"It's just a show! King Wu rebelled and he personally investigated the case. What can we do if we find out about the Zhou family's troubles? It's best to kill all the Zhou family now! Even if someone finds out that Zhou guy and King Wu are
, we can at least save our lives! Damn it, where are these people hiding? Is it possible that they can disappear out of thin air after searching the streets and alleys? "
Sun Tongzhi thought for a while: "Sir, we are just searching on the street, and we also checked the families who have good relations with the Zhou family. What if he is hiding in someone else's house?"
Feng Heng frowned: "Other family? The whole city is wanted. Who dares to take them in without any friendship?"
"What if...the Zhou family has some kind of bank secretly and uses silver as collateral? You must know that those merchants are not profitable and can't afford it early. They don't dare to do the business of beheading for money!"
"Hiss!" Feng Heng was shocked: "You are right! This is a blind spot, how could you forget this?"
"Immediately! Pick out the rich households in the city immediately and search them one by one! Keep a low profile and don't get caught!"
.......
Outside the yamen, Eunuch Wei looked back at the portrait, turned around and greeted his assistants: "Send a few people with them, and come back immediately to inform me if there is any news."
"Father-in-law, didn't they go check it out?"
"Humph, there are so many people looking for my Uncle Fang! What if he tells others? Our Dongchang has almost lost all face over the years. My godfather is anxious to get angry, otherwise he can ask me to come from the border town without approval.
What! We must be the first to find Uncle Fang this time!"
As he spoke, he carefully took out a portrait from his arms and unfolded it. It was a sketch of Fang Zhengyi, and it was simply colored. It showed Fang Zhengyi halfway up the snowy mountain, wearing a brocade hat and mink fur, riding a horse.
Hoof, one finger pointing to the sky.
Eunuch Wei stretched out his hand, touched it twice with a slightly obsessed expression, and exclaimed: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, this painting is really special! It feels different every time I look at it! My Uncle Fang is so handsome! All the painters in the palace painted them.
What the hell, it looks nothing like it!”
"Give it to the most capable person. My godfather specially asked for this from Taoyuan County. If it's damaged a little, you won't be able to live anymore!! Our family is planning to collect it!"
"I humbly accept my order!"
