Chapter 32 of Gui Zi Scroll: Quietly testing and showing good intentions
"Presumptuous!" The strong man in brocade robes at the front shouted sternly: "Where do you want to go, do you still need your consent?"
Kang Biao was not surprised by such things. He knew at a glance that the other party was not from Long Jinwei. He had dealt with people from Long Jinwei to some extent, let alone from the Ministry of Punishment. People in the Ministry of Punishment were all very particular.
She is well-behaved and rigorous in doing things, so she is not afraid.
These days, except for the people in these two departments who can exercise their rights without the local government signing documents, it is impossible for others to do so. However, even the Ministry of Punishment is very cautious in this regard to prevent others from being used as leverage, and Long Jinwei is not a rebel.
It is impossible to act so arrogantly when it comes to treason.
It would be even more ridiculous if you were the domestic slave of a powerful minister in the capital. This is the capital city. If you want to be so presumptuous, you are asking for death. Those censors in the Metropolitan Procuratorate who have nothing to do can kill you.
Impeachment leads to a life of doubt.
"Sir, everything must be done on a first-come, first-served basis. The capital city is also a land of royal law, so why has it become lawless?" Kang Biao smiled brightly, "If Taoist Priest Xuanzhen of Chongxuan Guan said this small courtyard is
I rented it to you, but we just slapped my ass and left without saying a word. I can’t say that you just open your mouth and enter wherever you want. There are also female students here. Are you just not following the rules?"
Kang Biao's words were impeccable and made the other party speechless. However, the person in front was used to being strong, especially this was outside the palace, so he was no longer afraid and said viciously: "Where are all the nonsense coming from? Get out of here."
, I want to go in and have a look..."
They had previously investigated that this place should be the resting place of Concubine Xiande, but they did not expect that there were so many people guarding the door. Logically speaking, Jia Yuanchun was not qualified to bring escorts when she left the palace.
There were no guards, so why did a group of people come to protect him after he left the palace and went to Chongxuan Temple to rest? This was so strange that Guo Qinjun and Zhou Peisheng couldn't help but become suspicious, so they sent their own guards to try and find out.
With the master's instructions, these guards naturally had no scruples and could not let the other side stop them with a few words.
"It's okay to go in. Bring out the badge documents from Long Jinwei or the Ministry of Punishment, or the signing documents from Shuntian Prefecture. If not, you have to bring the documents from Wanping County to take a look, right?" Kang Biao's attitude was still very serious.
Okay, but he stood in front of the door and said, "Who knows what you are doing? Robbers or bandits?"
Reasonable and well-founded, neither humble nor arrogant, this made the people on the opposite side realize how difficult their opponent was. If they wanted to take action, things might get serious, and they would not be able to make the final decision.
Zhou Peisheng has been hiding behind and observing the situation. Of course he can't come forward in this situation, but he can also see that the few people blocking the door are not easy to deal with. The temperament revealed by their gestures and gestures shows that they are confident at first glance, and
There is also a strong atmosphere of Jianghu.
There are also some guards in the palace, although they are nominally transferred from the Shangsanqinjun, but in fact they have just passed through the Shangsanqinjun. They are from Jianghu sects, and their martial arts skills are far better than ordinary guards, so few
Princes and concubines prefer to use these guards. Of course, due to their origins, the loyalty and reliability of these guards may not be satisfactory, so they are generally used as peripheral guards, but more specifically to do some more secretive things.
It is better to use the selected soldiers of the Third Guard Army to serve as bodyguards.
The people who are going to do things now are obviously characters from the Shangsanqinjun, so they are so arrogant but not very capable. When encountering such characters who are neither soft nor hard, it feels a little helpless.
Zhou Peisheng was also trying to figure out the origins of the group of people blocking the door.
Jia Yuanchun couldn't afford these people. The Jia family had collapsed and was in trouble, so it was impossible for these people to do things. After many calculations, it seemed that they all pointed to one goal, and that was the Feng family.
The Feng family came from a wealthy local martial arts family in Datong, and there were many martial arts sects in the town near Datong. Even people in the palace like Zhou Peisheng knew the famous sects such as Wutai and Hengshan, not to mention the martial arts such as the Golden Knife Sect and the Black Tiger Gang.
The gang is also well-known in the North. Coupled with Feng Tang's status as the governor of the three countries, how can these people in Shaanxi not take the initiative to join the gang?
I heard that when Feng Tang organized and reorganized the Northwest Army in Qingyang, he recruited many martial arts people from the northwest and specially set up a so-called assault camp, which was used for raids and assassinations of key figures of the enemy under specific circumstances in order to achieve the goal of capturing.
The effect of the thief capturing the king first.
Moreover, Feng Ziying is the Prime Minister of Shuntian Mansion and has a high position. Naturally, all the Jianghu sects in Shuntian Mansion are willing to work for him, so there is no need to recruit deliberately. He only needs to spread the word, and naturally these Jianghu people will flock to him.
To serve him.
There is no doubt that Feng Ziying should be in the courtyard. By chance, Feng Ziying came to see Jia Yuanchun, so his guards blocked the door.
After all, this kind of meeting between a foreign minister and a noble concubine in the palace is not allowed in the light.
Although all the princes in the court are actually in contact with the concubine and the prince in the palace, it is private after all. Through reliable people below, it is absolutely impossible to meet in public, whether it is the prince or the concubine, but Feng Ziying seems to be
Ignored this.
Even if Jia Yuanchun and his wife and concubines are relatives, Jia Yuanchun is Feng Ziying's sister-in-law, but Jia Yuanchun's status as a noble concubine does not allow her to meet Feng Ziying in private. Once exposed, she may even be accused of being a concubine.
Violating etiquette, or even causing chaos in the palace, is really like a bucket of shit on your head.
This seems to be a good handle. Zhou Peisheng held his chin and thought about it, but is this handle useful to Feng Ziying? Or can it have an effect?
After a dispute, several people did not get Zhou Peisheng's instructions and could only leave temporarily in anger.
Zhou Peisheng also quickly turned around and met with Guo Qinjun to discuss the matter.
"Do you suspect that Feng Ziying is meeting Jia Yuanchun inside?" Guo Qinyun suddenly became interested. Women are somewhat curious about this kind of gossip.
"That should be the case. In theory, Feng Ziying shouldn't be so unwise. If he wants to communicate with Concubine Xiande, he can just find someone below to take the letter. This meeting is a bit hasty and abrupt." Zhou Peisheng smiled leisurely, "This little Feng Xiuzhan
I'm still too young and don't understand the rules, or I'm too young."
"Then what should we do?" Guo Qinyun raised her eyebrows excitedly, "Maybe we can use this to...?"
Zhou Peisheng pondered for a moment, "Unless we have real evidence, such as blocking him in person or meeting the two of them together, or seeing it with our own eyes..."
At this point, Zhou Peisheng himself shook his head and smiled subconsciously, "This is unlikely, so this matter is still a bit difficult to handle."
Guo Qinjun was unwilling to give up, "Then let such an opportunity go in vain? It is a bit difficult to make friends with Jia Yuanchun in this situation. With Feng Ziying's methods, he will definitely find out that we are here to find them. He
You may even suspect that we are following you here. We must do it to the end now and take advantage of the other party. Maybe the two sides can cooperate better..."
Unexpectedly, Guo Qinyun was so outright and ruthless, which surprised Zhou Peisheng. This was somewhat different from his previous impression of this woman. Once this woman's ambition was aroused, she was really very different.
"It's better than this. The empress simply came forward directly and said that she heard that Chongxuan Temple is quiet and elegant and is a rare place for health preservation. She also heard that Concubine Xiande was resting here, so she wanted to come to see Concubine Xiande. This way she could not avoid it.
The small courtyard is not big, and if Feng Ziying is really in there, she can't escape. If we meet in this way, we won't make it clear, and they will naturally understand..." Zhou Peisheng thought for a moment, and then slowly
road.
Guo Qinjun was a little moved. They met face to face like this, and the reason was very good. But depending on what Feng Ziying said, as for Jia Yuanchun, Guo Qinjun didn't care. She was more concerned about controlling Feng Ziying and playing with her.
It doesn't matter if you take Feng Ziying's route, in short, you should let Feng Ziying be used for yourself, or you can use each other.
Guo Qinyun is not that naive. She also knows very well that if she wants a powerful family like the Feng family to support her and Prince Gong in both the military and political circles as well as in local border towns, she will definitely not be able to do so without making some promises to the other party. But
As long as his son can sit on the throne in the future, then everything else is easy to say. If he cannot sit on that position, it is hard to say whether his and his son's lives can be saved.
Because of this, now is an opportunity. Even if this leverage may not make Feng Ziying surrender, it can at least make the other party have some scruples. It is not known that such cooperation may be closer.
"Pei Sheng, if I come forward like this, will Feng Ziying feel that I am targeting him?" Guo Qinjun gently picked up a fallen peony flower on the roadside with her fingers and said slowly.
"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter even if you know. It's just that everyone has their own needs. Concubine Xiande is just an introduction. My Majesty originally wanted to find Xiao Feng Xiuzhan. Naturally, he can understand the purpose of her seeking him. No.
He will refuse." Zhou Peisheng also saw it clearly: "If he is willing to cooperate with the empress, he will naturally not care, and he will even think that the empress values him. If he is not willing, then it doesn't matter, but I still think that he
If you are wise, you will not reject your empress’s advances.”
"But he might also choose Mei Yuexi or Su Lingyao and Xu Junru." Guo Qinyun asked back.
"Haha, this is normal, so this is an equal choice. We also have other choices, and he is the same. It just depends on the change of the situation." Zhou Peisheng said calmly: "We can show our
strength, then he will definitely choose the most promising partner."
