Lin Xuan said: "You are so polite, Mr. Geng. I have traveled a long distance. It would be rude to go to the banquet like this. I will go to the inn to take a shower and change clothes, and then go to the banquet."
"I didn't think carefully. I have already prepared a house and the maids and servants are ready. Now I will ask you to take you there." Feng Ang said.
"Thank you so much, Duke Geng." Lin Xuan thanked him.
Duke Geng's Mansion
After Feng Zhidai was escorted back, he was imprisoned in a side hospital.
Feng An didn't say anything, and the guards didn't dare to do anything to him, but only restricted his freedom.
Feng Zhiding had been asking people to keep an eye on Feng Zhiding secretly. When he learned that he was being escorted back, he came over quickly.
"I've met the eldest son."
When the guard saw Feng Zhishen coming, he quickly saluted.
"Open the door." Feng Zhishen said.
"This..." the guard hesitated for a moment and said: "Eldest Young Master, the master sent us to escort the fifth master back to wait for him to deal with it. Without the master's order, the younger one dare not open the door."
"Did my father say no one can visit me?" Feng Zhishen said calmly.
"This..." the guard was speechless. Feng Ang really never said that no one should see Feng Zhidao.
"Since my father didn't say anything, just open the door. Or is my words useless?" Feng Zhishen said with a cold face.
"Yes, little one, open it right here." The guard said quickly.
Feng Zhishen is the eldest son, it is too easy to deal with them.
Feng Zhishen stepped in.
When Feng Zhidao saw Feng Zhidao come in, he quickly said: "Brother, I have listened to your words. You have to save me."
"Keep your voice down, do you want everyone to know?" Feng Zhishen scolded.
Feng Zhiding came back to his senses and quickly lowered his voice and said, "Brother, you promised me before that nothing will happen to you."
"Why are you panicking!" Feng Zhishen said: "Dad is just showing off to Lin Xuan. You are his son, what can he do to you?"
Feng Zhidao said in disbelief: "Brother, are you telling the truth? You know I haven't suffered. If dad really punishes me, I might not be able to explain everything."
Feng Zhishen said coldly: "Are you threatening me?"
"Brother, how could I threaten you? I'm telling the truth." Feng Zhiding said.
He agreed to help Feng Zhisun because Feng Zhisun was the eldest son. If he inherited the title in the future, he would be the head of the Feng family. He was willing to help in order to curry favor with Feng Zhisun.
But it doesn't mean that he is willing to be cannon fodder for Feng Zhishen.
"If this incident was an accident, even if my father punished you, it wouldn't be too severe. But if this incident was a deliberate plan, do you think it would be fine if you confessed me? On the contrary, in order to cover up the incident, my father just
They will blame this matter on you and punish you even more severely. If you are not afraid, just say it." Feng Zhishen said.
"Brother, are you plotting against me?" Feng Zhidao looked at Feng Zhidao angrily.
If it was just an accidental conflict, even if Feng Ang punished him, it wouldn't be too severe.
But if it was a calculation, it would be different. If exposed, the punishment would definitely be severe in order to give Lin Xuan an explanation.
Just like Feng Zhishen said, even if Feng An was told that Feng Zhishen was commanding it, Feng An would probably suppress the matter rather than pursue it.
In the end, he was the one who took the blame.
Feng Zhishen smiled and said: "Fifth brother, what you said is serious. How could the eldest brother plot against you? The eldest brother is just telling you the seriousness of the matter. If you help the eldest brother, he will not treat you badly when he inherits the title."
Feng Zhidao hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I won't say anything about this matter. Brother must keep his promise."
"Fifth brother, don't worry. After all, you are the governor of Enzhou. My eldest brother will still have to rely on you for many things in the future." Feng Zhishen said.
At the beginning, Li Yuan appointed four governors to the Feng family for the sake of An Feng'ang's heart. Feng Zhidao had the official title of Enzhou governor on his head.
Although Feng Ang is actually in charge, once Feng Ang dies, Feng Zhidao can become the real governor of Enzhou.
…
Feng An arranged for someone to take Lin Xuan to the prepared house and returned home.
He sent someone to bring Feng Zhidao and asked others to call his other sons.
Not long after, several sons from Liangde City came over.
Feng Zhiyu was impatient and asked: "Dad, why did you call us here?"
"Wait." Feng An uttered two words and remained silent with a cold face.
"Sir, the fifth young master brought it here."
Soon, the guards escorted Feng Zhidao in.
"Father, what did fifth brother commit?" Feng Zhiyu asked.
"Guizi, tell me yourself what you have done." Feng An said coldly.
"Dad, I don't even know that he is Lin Xuan. Besides, isn't it just a maid? I didn't get it, so it's not a big deal." Feng Zhidao said.
"boom!"
Feng An stood up and scolded: "You traitor, it's now this time and you still refuse to tell the truth? Although you are usually a dandy, you are not like this today. Do you think your father is an old fool? Tell me,
Who ordered you to provoke Lin Xuan?"
Feng Zhidei shrank his neck and said: "Dad, it's because Lin Xuan's maid is too beautiful, and the child is obsessed with ghosts. How can anyone instigate it? The child doesn't know that he is the Marquis of Jingyang County."
"You still say! I asked someone, Lin Xuan clearly announced his name, and you still say you don't know who he is?" Feng An scolded.
At the same time, Feng Ang also had some doubts in his heart. Could it be that it was really an accident?
He also met Lin Xuan's maid, she was indeed beautiful, and what Feng Zhidai said was not impossible.
"Dad, you can't just believe him when he gives his name, right? Who knows if he's lying. Besides, he's just a marquis. Dad, you are the Duke of the country, and you haven't even snatched the child. What a big deal.
What are you afraid of him for?" Feng Zhidai muttered.
"You're a traitor!" Feng Ang pointed at Feng Zhiding angrily, his beard standing up in anger.
"Dad, I think fifth brother is right. It doesn't matter anyway. Lin Xuan won't pursue it," Feng Zhishen said.
"Yes, Dad, he is a prince, and if he is sensible, he will definitely not pursue it." Feng Zhiyu agreed.
"What do you know?" Feng Ang said: "Although Lin Xuan is just a prince, according to the information I got, he is deeply trusted by your majesty. Your majesty also betrothed his favorite Princess Changle to him. How can he be an ordinary prince?
Master?"
"There are many people in the court who are jealous of my Feng family and secretly slander our Feng family. Thanks to your majesty's trust, I didn't believe those words. But what if Lin Xuan goes back to speak ill of my Feng family to your majesty?"
"What are you afraid of? It's the worst possible outcome." Feng Zhidao muttered.
"Shut up, do you want my Feng family to fall into a state of eternal doom?" Feng An's face was as gloomy as ink, and he shouted: "Come here, drag Feng Zhidao down and beat him with fifty army sticks. He is not allowed to leave the house without my order."
Half a step to the door."
"Dad, I know I was wrong, please forgive me."
When Feng Zhidao heard that he was going to be beaten with fifty military sticks, he was shocked. If he was hit with fifty sticks, he would only be half alive even if he was beaten with fifty sticks.
"Dad, fifty sticks is indeed too much, why not reduce it a little bit," Feng Zhishen said.
"Whoever pleads for him will receive the same punishment as him." Feng Ang said coldly.
Feng Zhishen quickly shut up, he didn't want to get himself involved.
"Dad, please forgive me."
"Take it away!" Feng An waved his hand.
The guards quickly stepped forward and carried Feng Zhiding out.
"Forgive me, Dad!"
Feng An didn't speak. He waited until Feng Zhidai's voice disappeared before saying, "Do you think so too?"
