It has been a sunny day for more than ten days in a row, and the price of rice in the rice shop has increased by another 20%. However, the really wealthy and prominent families in Jinling City naturally cannot appreciate this kind of small and small things among the people.
Changes, most people are paying close attention to the movements of a few prominent figures.
Fu Rong and Zheng Qiang lived in seclusion, Wei Guogong Xu was said to be recovering from the cold at home, and Imperial College Jiu Zhang Mao was vigorously cleaning up the ranks of academic officials, and unexpectedly picked out two or three bad apples. Suddenly, the four gentlemen of Nandu and the clean ones below were
Literary meetings were stopped... While the common people were lamenting that it would not rain and were busy working on food and clothing, the upper class society showed a strange calm.
Although the nobles at the top did not do anything, the servants in the various mansions were not just for nothing. Those who were quick to get the latest information often asked for information in series, and even more cautiously watched the situation without saying a word. This morning,
The four porters guarding the gate of the eunuch's mansion stood on the left and right, quietly talking about their young master's affairs.
When they were talking about when Fu Rong would be unable to bear the temptation to bring Fu Hengan back from the Imperial College, they heard the sound of gongs outside and the four of them suddenly came back to their senses. They immediately put all the gossip behind their heads and raised their heads.
He looked intently at the group of people coming from the other side. He saw the word "Imperial Envoy" was clearly written on the front tooth plate. The four of them looked at each other for a moment, and the most mature one among them immediately turned around and ran into the west corner gate.
The gongs were sounded to clear the way, and the ceremonial guards were leading and following. The people who were walking on Changfu Street naturally gave way in a hurry. Seeing a large sedan carried by four people stopped in front of the gate of the eunuch's mansion, people became even more buzzing.
There was a buzz of discussion. However, for the three porters who were waiting for the large group of people to come and hurriedly stepped forward to greet and salute, they saw a man wearing a small cyan patterned silk official robe with a plate collar and right gusset, and a white pheasant on it.
Bu Zi, who was clearly a fifth-rank official, bent down and got out of the sedan chair, but he had never seen it before, so he couldn't help but be even more surprised. He wanted to find out the truth for his father-in-law, but the person who came didn't even look at them.
He stood at the front door with his hands behind his back.
"Guarding the Eunuch's Mansion... Oh, those illustrious people in the Kaiping Prince's Mansion, in the end, even the house belonged to someone else..." Fei Kai left half of his words when he saw three concierges surrounding his servants.
Asking this and that with a smile on his face, he finally got impatient and rolled his sleeves coldly and said, "You can't open the middle door after seeing the word "Imperial Envoy". Is this how Eunuch Fu manages the mansion?"
As soon as he finished speaking, at the bottom of the three-bay, five-frame gatehouse, two red-lacquered doors were slowly opened. Inside, on both sides of the wide corridor in the front yard, two rows of servants wearing the same color stood neatly.
Everyone gathered together, all of them bowing their heads respectfully. And further away, two children in green shirts were walking towards here with Fu Rong on their backs, followed by a group of entourage. Seeing this scene, Fei Kai's face brightened slightly.
, but reservedly held his hands behind his back, held his head high and said nothing.
This news spread unhappily in the guarding eunuch's house. Fu Rong was carried directly to the second gate in a sedan chair, and then two strong children almost carried him to the gate. Even so, a lot of older people
After Fu Rong stood still, he was still out of breath, and there were fine beads of sweat on his forehead. He actually stood there and wiped the sweat with a handkerchief, and then slowly stepped forward.
Although his face was calm, Fu Rong was really worried. He calculated that imperial envoys might come down in the coming days, and he also heard that an old friend would come to visit Zhao Qin, but Fei Kai didn't bring much with him at first.
People, he just thought they were ordinary people, and didn't take it to heart at all. Accidents were accidents. At this moment, he naturally would not question the authenticity of the imperial envoy. After welcoming the people who came in, he set up an incense table in the main hall and bowed solemnly.
, when he learned that the visitor was Fei Kai, the right prime minister of Dali Temple, he felt his heart skip a beat again. At this time, Fei Kai spoke with a stern face.
"Eunuch Fu, this imperial envoy is here to report that three officials from the Nanjing Department of Science and Technology jointly participated in your corruption of money and food, and your dereliction of duty."
As soon as these words came out, Fu Rong could not help but show his anger even though he had always been indifferent to emotions. Although he had been away from the capital for many years and almost all his old team had been lost, the most important thing in the palace was still there.
There were a few people who were old to him, and even if they couldn't take care of his godsons, it was so unexpected that they allowed the superiors to send such imperial envoys. Therefore, he almost took a deep breath, and then
Ran smiled and said: "Since Mr. Fei is an imperial envoy, just follow the order and investigate."
"Don't worry, Eunuch Fu. This imperial envoy will naturally investigate carefully. Eunuch Fu will not be wronged, nor will he be lenient."
Fei Kai has been taken around Jinling by the Zhao family in the past few days, but the few masters brought by his subordinates from Dali Temple are secretly collecting evidence. Now they have a 100% certainty, so they bring them with them as much as possible.
When he came out at one o'clock, he saw that Fu Rong's face was extremely ugly. He just pretended not to see it and stood up again by pressing the armrest.
"I've been walking around Jinling City in the past few days, and I heard that Eunuch Fu's heir made a mistake in the Imperial College and seems to be expelled from the Imperial College?"
If it only concerns himself, Fu Rong, who is used to seeing countless people up and down in the court, can bear it. However, at this time, Fei Kai turned the conversation to his adopted son with a sarcastic tone, and Fu Rong suddenly changed his expression.
, did not stand up at that moment, and suddenly leaned lazily on the backrest, and said with a smile: "Master Fei may have heard wrongly, it is not that our son has made a mistake and will be expelled from the Imperial College, but
It was the Imperial College that made a huge joke, and if we don’t clean it up, we will become the laughing stock of Jinling City!”
Since Li Guang's death, the eunuchs in the palace had to put their tail between their legs to be a human being. Therefore, Fei Kai, like most civil servants, could not help but look down on these mutilated eunuchs. What's more, he was here to check Zhao Qin's performance this time.
Fu Rong's crimes are naturally even more difficult to tolerate Fu Rong's contemptuous attitude.
"Oh? Did I hear it wrong? But when I passed Chengxian Street just now, I went to the Imperial Academy and walked around, and then I met Mr. Zhang. I heard that in a few days, the Shengqi Hall is going to open a trial.
A large number of prison students. Yin Zhang has just cleaned up the few black sheep in the Imperial College, and the news has not been told to outsiders. Is it that Eunuch Fu doesn't know about it?"
As soon as he said these words, Fu Rong finally couldn't bear it anymore and stood up immediately. Seeing Fei Kai looking at him with a sneer on his face, he took a deep breath, but after all he couldn't restrain the rage in his heart, and immediately
He said word by word: "Let me remind Mr. Fei that you will reap melons if you sow melons, and you will reap beans if you sow beans. Don't bully others too much!"
"Eunuch Fu is right." Fei Kai nodded with a smile and said unhurriedly, "Good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil. If Eunuch Fu hadn't done so many things that he shouldn't have done during the garrison in Nanjing,
How could your son end up like this?"
"you……"
If he had been in front of other officials in Nanjing, even the big guys from the ministry, Fu Rong would have turned against him without hesitation, but in front of him was the imperial envoy from the capital! So, he clenched and loosened his fists.
Tight, I repeated this several times, and finally suppressed the raging evil fire, but I hated Xu Xun who had praised Haikou before.
If it weren't for this kid, he would have brought Fu Heng'an back!
Just when he was confused, a voice suddenly came from outside: "Father-in-law, Commander Chen of the Jinyi Guard wants to see you."
Fu Rong was about to answer, but Fei Kai suddenly jumped in and replied: "Tell him, Eunuch Fu will not see guests today!"
"Master Fei, what exactly do you want to do?"
"What are you doing?" Fei Kai turned around with his hands behind his back, looked at the ashen-faced Fu Rong, and said unhurriedly, "Of course I am acting in accordance with the order. Until the matter is unclear, I can only aggrieve Eunuch Fu and temporarily shut up.
Thank you. Of course, it is necessary to put a few people at each door. I just went to see Duke Cheng Guo who was guarding Nanjing. He has already called the people, and I expected them to be in front of Eunuch Fu."
ps: It will be on the shelves tomorrow, and the first chapter is expected to be updated in the morning. As for the number of updates tomorrow, I can’t say, hehe...
