When Feng Ziying came out this time, he naturally couldn't just take a look at Zunhua. Since he agreed to Chai Ke, he naturally had to make thorough preparations.
To dissect a sparrow, discover problems, and make suggestions, you must dive in and conduct a thorough investigation. Several states and counties in the southeast have already been visited, so this time we will go to the northeast.
He did not go to Tongzhou and Xianghe, because Tongzhou was very familiar with it, and Xianghe was on the Wugong side, and he knew it at all times, so he started from Baodi, Yutian, Fengrun, Zunhua, Jizhou, Sanhe, Pinggu, Shunyi, and then returned
Capital.
He walked very quickly, basically only staying in each state or county for one day, watching first and then listening, which was a bit similar to his own grassroots research in his previous life.
This method also made the magistrates and magistrates of these several prefectures and counties quite novel, and at the same time a little fearful.
This is a bit distrustful of them, and it seems that they do not only listen to the evaluation and suggestions of the gentry, and even invite some businessmen and farmers' representatives to listen to their opinions.
This seems a bit like trying to gain fame, but if Feng Ziying keeps using this method, and even arranges his personal staff and subordinates to do this kind of thing, it is inevitable that someone will take the initiative to report some situations. This is what these prefects and county magistrates are most worried about.
of.
However, Feng Ziying left very quickly this time, and it seemed more like a dragonfly making a fool of himself, which made the prefecture and county officials feel a little at ease. However, they already felt that Xiao Feng Xiuzhan, who acted as the prime minister on behalf of the governor, was not interested in their work.
He was not satisfied with it, so how to cater to Xiao Feng Xiuzhuan's wishes became the next issue for the magistrates and magistrates to consider.
Yuanyang stood outside the Shuntian Mansion Yamen a little anxiously.
It has been ten days since Uncle Feng left home. Although he knew that Uncle Feng was going out, he thought it would only last for three to five days. Who would have thought that this trip would take so long.
The ladies and grandmothers in the mansion are a little anxious, and there are some other things that need to be decided upon when the uncle comes back to the mansion.
From a distance, he saw an official going out. Yuanyang looked familiar. After careful identification, he saw that this was Fu Shi, the second master's disciple.
Yuanyang then remembered that Master Fu was also an official of Shuntian Mansion, but he met him here today.
"Master Fu!"
Yuanyang didn't care much anymore and went straight forward to receive a blessing.
"Miss Yuanyang?" Fu Shi was also surprised, but he immediately realized it. He heard from his sister that it seemed that Yuanyang was pointed out to Feng Ziying by the old lady. This was probably arranged by the Feng Mansion.
"Mr. Fu, my uncle Feng has been out for so long. I wonder if he has come back?" Yuanyang asked in a low voice with his face lowered.
"Master Feng should be back today. He has arranged for someone to come back to report the news. It's coming soon." Fu Shi said with a smile: "Miss Yuanyang can go back to report the news first. Don't worry in the house. Everything is safe."
Yuanyang felt a little relieved and said a few words to Fushi, and then Fushi left.
Yuanyang didn't know for a while whether he should stay here or continue to wait. Although Fu Shi also knew that Feng Ziying was coming back today, he didn't know exactly when he would come back.
While he was hesitating, he saw a person sneaking around outside the Yamen. Yuanyang had not paid attention to it before, but as soon as he glanced at him, he always felt that he looked familiar. He did not recognize him for a while. It was not until he was about to go back that he suddenly remembered that it was not Ning Guo. Is Lai Sheng, the former housekeeper of the mansion?
What is Lai Sheng doing sneakily outside the Shuntian Mansion Yamen?
Yuanyang suddenly became vigilant, but she couldn't say anything to Lai Sheng in person.
Now the Lai family seems to be at odds with the Jia family. It is said that the Lai family came forward to report the eldest man's matter. Later, I heard from Uncle Feng that even if there was no such incident, the Jia family would have had the same result, but no matter what, the result was the same. Everyone was a little upset because the Jia family had such a white-eyed wolf.
The mandarin ducks can only keep this matter in mind, and wait until Uncle Feng comes back to tell him, so that they don't fall into some trap of the Lai family without knowing it.
It was too late when Feng Ziying came back.
I'm a little tired, but I have to go back to the Yamen first.
After traveling for more than ten days, I must have accumulated a lot of official business. It took more than an hour to finish all the preliminary tasks. Just as I was about to take a rest, I heard a report from outside that an old man named Lai from Ningguo Mansion wanted to see him.
An old person from the Ningguo Mansion named Lai? Feng Ziying didn't come back to her senses for a long time. Finally, she reluctantly felt that it might be Lai Sheng. It's just that Lai Sheng was the manager of the Ningguo Mansion and she had met him a few times, but he was definitely not an old friend. , didn’t this guy team up with his brother to sue Jia She? Yet he still dared to come to see him at this time?
Do you think that by clinging to the King of Shou, you can talk to yourself?
But it doesn't sound like it from this tone. Lai Sheng shouldn't be that stupid. Compared to Lai Da, Feng Ziying feels that Lai Sheng seems to be much more low-key, a bit like making a fortune in silence.
He casually agreed to let Lai Sheng in, and Feng Ziying threw it aside.
When Lai Sheng walked in, he knelt down and kowtowed. Feng Ziying was stunned, "Lai Sheng, what do you mean?"
"Young man, please forgive me and please forgive me and my two brothers." Lai Sheng just knelt down and kowtowed, his forehead hitting the ground with a thumping sound, but he refused to get up.
Feng Ziying sneered, "What's your crime? Even if you're guilty, you should go to the Yamen to surrender. Why come to me here?"
Lai Sheng kowtowed, "My younger brother lost his mind for a moment and went to report the eldest master and Sun Shaozu's partnership in doing business in Ping'an Prefecture. Now that I think about it, he is so arrogant. He really deserves death..."
"Have you lost your mind?" Feng Ziying laughed, "You two brothers have always tried their best to make every move, so how could they have lost their minds? Maybe they did this after careful planning, right? I don't say whether Jia She is responsible or not. But you, the Lai family, are an old man who has been with the Jia family for generations, yet you do such a crazy thing, and now you come to me to kowtow and beg for mercy? What are you trying to do, to trap me into injustice?"
"No, no, sir, we have absolutely no intention of doing so." Lai Sheng became anxious.
After taking refuge with King Shou, Lai Sheng felt a little regretful. Although King Shou appointed himself to supervise the country, unlike his brother who was too close to King Shou and couldn't get out, Lai Sheng was much smarter and realized that King Shou was not like him. As expected, for such a high-power, wealthy and powerful person, the government officials were not so convinced about many things in the capital, and the other supervisor, King Lu, seemed to be much more confident than King Shou.
After slowly becoming a subordinate of King Shou, Lai Sheng also gradually learned all the inside stories here. The weak background of King Shou gradually became apparent. What he could rely on was the fact that he was the eldest son of the emperor.
In contrast, Queen Mother Lu's mother-in-law has a deep foundation in the Mei family. She not only has the support of King Zhongshun, but also the commander of the Shenji Battalion, Qian Guozhong, who is a cousin of the Mei family. Prince Fu, Prince Li, is also powerful, and Concubine Su's cousin is now in charge.
The deputy commander-in-chief of Shanxi Town of the army is also married to Qiu Shiben, the commander of the Shenshu Camp. He is the youngest Prince Gong. He also has the relationship between Chen Jingxuan, the former governor of the three sides, and Zhang Jingqiu, the censor of Zuodu of the Imperial Procuratorate.
Come on, this longevity king is the weakest.
That's all. The Lai family just wanted to rely on the power of King Shou to get back on their feet and not quickly become urban poor after losing the protection of the Jia family. Although their vitality was severely damaged by the Jia family's treatment.
, but the Lai family still has some hidden wealth. If they can rely on the relationship between Shou Wang and find some business to slowly start their own business, they will become a rich man. However, they never thought that Shou Wang would be against Xiao Feng Xiuzuan.
It seemed that his brother was also a little ignorant of current affairs, which made Lai Sheng a little anxious.
I negotiated with my brother several times and asked him not to get involved too deeply, especially with the Feng family. However, my brother was so angry that his son lost the opportunity to donate his official position. He insisted on relying on King Shou, and even
He still had some intention of irritating the Feng family. Seeing that the contradiction between the two parties was getting bigger and bigger, and Prince Shou made a mistake when he was bidding for Rong Ning's second house, he returned the Rong Ning second house that he had originally planned to buy in despair.
In the end, it is said that it was captured by Uncle Feng.
This only increased Lai Sheng's worries.
In the current situation where all the kings are vying for the heir to the throne, how could King Shou be so ignorant of current affairs and provoke the Feng family?
You must know that the Feng family is not just a little Feng Xiuzan, but behind him is his father Feng Tang, the governor of the three sides, who controls an army of 100,000; and his mentor Qi Yongtai, the cabinet minister and leader of the northern scholars
, no matter how you look at it, you shouldn’t offend the other party.
Although civil servants are not usually involved in private affairs such as the succession of the throne, the situation is different now. The emperor is unconscious. In the end, who will inherit the throne, I am afraid it will be the cabinet's turn to speak.
It was Lai Sheng who didn't know much about the affairs of the court, and he also knew that the throne was definitely not decided by the royal family princes such as King Zhongshun and King Zhonghui.
When he thought of King Shou being obsessed with sex and obsessed with seduce the women of the Jia family, Lai Sheng felt even more uneasy.
At any rate, he had heard of Xiao Feng's reputation as a romantic person.
The second girl was a concubine for Xiao Feng Xiuzuan. The third girl was also said to be very affectionate towards Xiao Feng Xiuzuan. There were also rumors that Xiao Feng Xiuzuan was with two other women from the Jia family, the divorced Mistress Lian and the pretty widow.
Li Wan was a little confused.
No matter whether these rumors are true or not, it is hard for Lai Sheng to accept that his brother still goes out of his way to persuade King Shou to do such a thing.
But it didn't make sense to persuade his brother, and judging from King Shou's virtue, he probably wouldn't give up and make up his mind. After thinking about it, Lai Sheng still felt that he had to leave a way out for himself.
What if those three girls were the ones that Xiao Feng Xiuzuan fell in love with, or if Grandma Zhu really had an affair with Xiao Feng Xiuzuan, and in the end King Shou went to grab the food again, this grudge would be serious.
.
Since it doesn't make sense over there, we have no choice but to dig deep and find a way out here. At least we can send a message and see if there is any chance. Ni Er's rapid rise is seen by everyone.
