Two hundred and eighty first chapters serious scriptures
After Xiao Feng finished arranging the decoration of his home, he also asked all the women and dogs living at home to live in the second-row house during the decoration period. Because there is a bath there, the work can be started last.
Then he ate breakfast made by Qiao Niang, meat buns and millet porridge, and strolled out the door.
Xiao Feng wandered to Fusi, Jinyiwei North Town, where the famous imperial prison was under the jurisdiction. This was also a place that all officials in the world were afraid of, and they wished they could go around it.
Xiao Feng didn't dare to go in directly, so he could only ask the Jinyi guard guarding the gate to help him go in and find Shen Lian.
The Jin Yiwei guarding the gate didn't know Xiao Feng, but fortunately Xiao Feng was no longer a poor man at this time. With a small red envelope, the gatekeeper said happily: "Wait a moment, I'll go and take a look at Shen Baihu." Are you here at this time?"
Xiao Feng was waiting at the door when someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder: "What are you doing here?"
When Xiao Feng turned around, he was dressed in brocade and white robes, looking calm and dignified. It was Lu Bing, accompanied by two young men.
One Xiao Feng had seen was Qi Jiguang, who had helped him fight and catch a thief; the other was younger, only about fourteen or fifteen years old. Although he was not short in height, he still had a childlike look on his face.
Xiao Feng has quite complicated feelings towards Lu Bing. On the one hand, he knows that Lu Bing is indeed protecting him, but on the other hand, he still doesn't quite forgive Lu Bing for his inaction towards Xiao Wannian.
But Lu Bing was an elder, and he was in a high position and had to give face in front of a lot of subordinates, both in public and private matters.
So Xiao Feng bowed his hands and saluted: "Master Lu, I came to Shen Lian to do something."
Lu Bing nodded: "It's about Wang Tuiguan, Shen Lian told me, come in and talk."
He paused, pointed to the two people beside him and said: "This is Qi Jiguang, the commander of the Dengzhou Guards, the son of my old friend; this is my third son Lu Yi. You met him when you were a child, but you have probably forgotten about it."
Of course Xiao Feng knew Qi Jiguang, but Lu Bing deliberately did not reveal it, and he smiled and greeted the two of them.
The guard who received the red envelope ran out in a hurry at this moment, and just half shouted: "Sir Shen will be here soon..."
When I saw Lu Bing, I immediately swallowed the second half of the sentence.
Lu Bing glanced at him sideways and walked in without saying anything. Qi Jiguang smiled happily and followed suit.
Only Lu Yi said with a straight face: "If you don't guard the door well, why are you running around? Aren't you afraid of getting a stick?"
The guard was obviously familiar with Lu Yi. With a grimace, he bent over and held his hands in front of him, asking him to give him a kind word.
Xiao Feng nodded secretly. It turned out that he was like a tiger with no dog sons. He had the mentality of being the master of the family at a young age.
He followed Lu Yi and walked in. He was two years older than Lu Yi and had more memories. When he and his father went to his house at that time, the two of them dug out a bird's nest together. I don't know if he still remembers it. .
When he was about to enter the inner hall, Lu Yi slowed down a little and whispered: "Brother Xiao, don't blame my father, he has his own reasons."
The word "Brother Xiao" suddenly evoked the childhood memories of the two of them. Xiao Feng looked at Lu Yi's childish face and smiled faintly: "I don't blame him, but I can't get close to him no matter what."
Lu Yi nodded, meaning that he understood this feeling. To be honest, he respected Lu Bing more than being close to him.
Lu Bing had very few friends, and even fewer real friends. His wives also died early, and they were replaced one after another. The time was too short for Lu Yi to get close to him.
Therefore, Xiao Wannian is one of the few elders who has been able to enter the Lu family and make Lu Yi feel close to him in recent years.
Among his peers, he was Xiao Feng. He was a little nerd at that time, but at least he could still climb trees with himself.
Therefore, although Lu Yi did not need to explain, he still said one more thing: "The Strict Party is powerful. Although my father is deeply trusted by Long Live, he is still alone and cannot compete comprehensively. We can only compromise with each other."
Xiao Feng nodded. In fact, he had always had a question: Judging from Lu Bing's character, saving Xiao Wannian's life back then was considered an act of benevolence. Was it just because of his friendship for Xiao Wannian that he insisted on continuing to protect himself?
But it was obviously inappropriate to ask Lu Yi. Xiao Feng believed that he would eventually figure this out, so there was no rush.
Entering the inner hall, Shen Lian was also there. Apparently, he was intercepted by Lu Bing on the way out to greet Xiao Feng. At this time, his face was slightly embarrassed, but his tone was still Shen Lian.
"Sir, this matter is my responsibility and has nothing to do with General Bai Qi. He is just following orders."
Bai Zongqi was the guy who helped Xiao Feng snatch Wang Tuiguan away. Obviously Lu Bing already knew everything.
Lu Bing glanced at Shen Lian with the corner of his eye: "Is the reason sufficient?"
Shen Lian felt relieved: "It's enough. When the Ministry of Punishment came to ask for people, they also said that Wang Tuiguan was squandering people's lives and framed His Highness Prince Jing."
Lu Bing nodded: "Since the prince is involved, there is nothing wrong with Jin Yiwei taking charge of it at this time. Just conduct a good trial. As for the matter of taking human lives, let the Criminal Department be prepared. We will hand over the person to them after we have completed the trial of the false accusation."
Lu Bing turned his attention to Xiao Feng again: "What are you doing here?"
Xiao Feng cupped his hands and said, "Sir, this official Wang is my neighbor. I heard that your company was going to try his case, and I thought I might be able to provide some clues, so I came forward."
He didn't even blush, as if he was really here to fulfill his duties as a good citizen.
Lu Bing curled his lips and did not expose the fact that he bought someone else's wife and daughter as a slave.
"In this case, let's leave this matter to Shen Lian for trial. If you have any questions, just ask Shen Lian. I heard that you have moved. With such a big yard, it's best to find a few nursing homes."
Xiao Feng understood in his heart that what Lu Bing meant was that Jin Yiwei couldn't help you look after your house 24 hours a day. You have so many enemies, and now the family is all women. You have no ability to protect yourself. Are you not afraid of someone stealing your home?
This is indeed something that worries Xiao Feng. Although Yan Shifan may not dare to take action again, Yan Shifan is not the only one who has a grudge against him. Even Zhao Wenhua, it is not impossible to gather a few people with some skills to attack him secretly.
Except for myself and Qiaoqiao, who have some ability to protect themselves, the rest of the family is given away.
Seeing his frown, Lu Bing said calmly: "If you can't find it for a while, I have an idea. Qi Jiguang will stay in Beijing for a while and will not be able to take office in Dengzhou until next year. The rent in Beijing is very high It’s expensive, and he’s not a rich man, so why not stay at your house? He’ll save money, and you’ll have more helpers at night.”
Xiao Feng's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea. I wonder what Yuan Qingqing does?"
He and Qi Jiguang were friends by the same generation, and their names seemed affectionate, but they were not like an elder like Lu Bing who nominated someone with a Taoist surname.
Shen Lian is an exception. He doesn't like what others call him and seems to be more satisfied with his own name.
Qi Jiguang's eyes were brighter than Xiao Feng's, with a kind of relief unique to the poor.
He wasn't pretending to be poor, he was really poor. His father left him an official title that he could inherit, but he didn't leave him any money that he could inherit.
Although he became an official, in the past few years in Dengzhou, because he was too young and had no actual management rights, he only had a name. Even if he wanted to be a corrupt official, he still had no chance.
How poor was Qi Jiguang at this time? According to the etiquette of the time, as a fourth-rank commander, he had to go out either on horseback or in a car. Walking was a more shameful thing.
But Qi Jiguang neither had a horse nor could he afford a carriage, so he simply didn't wear official uniform when he went out, so as not to look special.
The little money he had was used to pay the rent, and the rented house was still a poor one, and the surrounding environment was not good. Now that he heard that there was a free house to live in, he still lived in Xiao Feng's house, which he admired very much. Naturally,
Very willing.
He hesitated for a moment: "I am bringing a domestic servant with me to Beijing this time to take care of my daily life. He is also from the army and knows some kung fu. Can I also move in?"
This is the identity. You can stand up to others even though you can't buy a horse, but you still have servants. Of course, domestic servants like this are not hired, but are the sons and daughters of the family who have been passed down from generation to generation.
Xiao Feng waved his hand: "This is not a problem. As long as the house is good, you can just live in it."
Lu Bing stopped paying attention to them and took out an official document and read it. Xiao Feng winked at Shen Lian, and the two of them left and went straight to the imperial prison.
In fact, the prison does not look scarier than other prisons. Because it is the people, not the place, that are scary.
Even compared to other prisons, Zhao Prison is relatively spacious and clean.
However, there is always an indescribable smell floating in the prison. It is neither a stale smell nor a burnt smell. It is a very complex smell, like the smell of pain itself.
Smelling this smell, the greatest pain a person can ever experience will automatically appear in your mind.
Therefore, many people, after entering the imperial edict, were punished for everything before they were even punished.
The expression on Wang Tuiguan's face now seems to be a sign of recruitment.
Despite Shen Lian's instructions, his room was clean and he had not been beaten, but he was like a mouse that fell into a cat's nest. Although the cat did not come back, the mouse was still scared to death.
When he saw Xiao Feng, Lao Wang jumped up: "My lords, my lords, I was wronged!"
