Chapter 845: One step ahead
Xiaobei was not sure about the purpose of the thing when he put the key at the bottom of the food box and put it in a bunch of delicious dishes carefully prepared by the chef at home to deliver dinner to Wang Fulin. After all, someone inexplicably sent a customized jewelry box to his home, and even had all the documents, but there was one more key that would not match. If it weren't for the same piece as the jewelry box, she almost thought that the thing on the red rope was a pendant.
However, Wang Fulin specially sent someone to send a message to ask for food, and even named Dingsheng Cake, she pondered. Dingsheng Cake is a very famous dim sum in Jiangnan. It has many symbolic meanings among the people. Some say it is to celebrate the promotion, some say it is to wish you a victory, and some say it is to congratulate you on the housewarming.
But thinking about the instructions that Wang Fulin had brought back, she felt that it was more likely that Wang Fulin hinted that the things she sent were indeed useful, so it was called a decisive victory, but there might be a tough battle next.
Otherwise, he would have been able to take a leave of absence this morning to go home. First, he came to see her, and second, he asked Cheng Naixuan, who was ill, to return to Liukeling. Now that the court meeting has ended in the afternoon, the storm has stopped for a while, why did he continue to stay at the Censorate at night and find a errand-run helper to report such a message that is completely leisurely and elegant and full of blessings?
"Mom Yan is here!"
Hearing this voice, seeing Fangrong lifting the curtain and letting Yan's mother into the house, Xiaobei smiled and said, "Mom, you heard that my husband specially sent someone to send a message back, saying that he wanted to eat Dingsheng cake. How old is he? He has only been in the midnight middle school in the Censorate, and he is still so sarcastic."
"Isn't it because the young lady is breakfast and dinner again, so I asked the young master to ask for it directly?" Yan's mother smiled and said to Fangrong and Fangshu, "Fangrong, go to the stove and see how stewing tremite soup is. If it is done, bring a cup to Mr. Chen and then a cup to Mr. Young. Fangshu, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Go ahead and tell Wang Siming, go order all the ice used in summer tomorrow, so as not to order so much later, and it will not be too hot this summer."
Fangrong and Fangshu quickly agreed and tiptoed down. When they all left, Yan's mother came to Xiaobei and whispered: "There are people watching the main and back doors of the home. Those who came after the evening were sent to the Censorate to deliver supper to the young master."
"Sure enough." Xiaobei raised his eyebrows and was a little upset. "It was finally easy to withdraw people before, but now I'm staring at them again. Fulin asked me to avoid overturning the wall last time, but mom, it's so easy to go out? If it weren't for the Cheng family being close to each other, sometimes I could borrow the Cheng family's portal or let them cover them, otherwise it would be even more difficult."
Yan's mother didn't know where Xiaobei complained that she couldn't run wherever she wanted, but that her family had become the target of the factory guards again. She smiled and said, "But the man from the Censorate came over to report the message, saying that the young master wanted to eat Dingsheng cake. As soon as the man left, someone followed the main entrance."
"Oh my God, is that Feng Bao arguing to keep an eye on every official and even care about food, drink, defecation and urination?" Xiaobei's face was full of smiles. The man from Wang Fulin's sect was a errand runner who was specifically dedicated to running errands at the doors of various yamen. Even if he was taken and tortured, he would never be able to ask anything. Maybe Wang Fulin was deliberately asking someone to run errands.
Of course, Feng Bao didn't know that Liu Shouyou had to go through complicated psychological activities every time he came to see him. Since he had no Gao Gong who was disliked by him everywhere, he was the only one in the palace. Whoever was foreign minister was not respectful to him? Although Liu Shouyou was the governor of the Jinyiwei, he was just a hawk. He sat there and didn't even move. Until Liu Shouyou kowtowed hard, he asked lightly: "Get up, why are you so anxious?"
"Eunuch Feng, I came to see you at Ye. It was because the lower officials found something." Liu Shouyou stood up and paused slightly before saying in a deep voice, "Someone told the eunuch Zhang Cheng, the eunuch in the palace, that he hid Gao Gong's manuscript, and then threatened the second assistant Zhang Siwei. The lower officials immediately sent elite Tiqi and got a witness..."
"Wait, what did you say?" Xu Jue couldn't believe his ears, and he actually snatched before Feng Bao. "Someone sued Zhang Cheng first? You got the witness? Who is that witness?"
"It's a Taoist boy in Lingji Palace." Did Liu Shou expect Xu Jue to be so bold and dare to ask before Feng Bao. After answering instinctively, he realized this and frowned immediately. However, when he saw Feng Bao not noticed this at all, he stared at him with a sharp look. He just withdrew his gaze to look at Xu Jue and said respectfully, "The Taoist boy saw someone meeting someone in a secluded place in Lingji Palace and threatened others to take out Gao Gong's manuscripts. He hid it because he was afraid. He didn't see the heads and faces of the two, but heard one of them claiming to be the eunuch Zhang Cheng, the eunuch in charge of the seal."
At this moment, Xu Jue felt a storm in his heart. When Zhang Jing came to him before, he also said that Zhang Cheng had appeared near Lingji Palace when Zhang Jing and He Xinyin met twice. Although he didn't know how Zhang Jing did this, he could easily grasp the evidence when reporting, so he naturally would be happy to see it. However, before he even gave up this matter, Liu Shouyou had already forced a Taoist boy who could be a witness. What's going on? If the Taoist boy recognized Zhang Jing...
When Feng Bao heard this, he narrowed his eyes and asked again: "Who is the person who wrote the song?"
"The first person to report was a small fireman next to Zhang Jing, the eunuch of the imperial prison. He said that he had left the palace before and saw Zhang Cheng near Lingji Palace. He followed him in to see what happened, but was blocked by someone. He took over the wall and saw Zhang Cheng having a secret meeting with others. He also took a few books of things from the hands of others."
Upon hearing this, Xu Jue was furious. Could it be that Zhang Jing saw that he had not responded for a long time, and then he sent someone to hook up with the top position of Liu Shouyou, the Jinyiwei? But in a moment, he calmed down. No, Zhang Jing had already told him about framed Zhang Cheng, and even clearly told him that he would support him to replace Liu Shouyou. Moreover, Zhang Jing could promise him Xu Jue such conditions, but what conditions should he use to promise Liu Shouyou? As the deputy governor in charge of Jinyiwei, Liu Shouyou was at most one and half a rank in the official rank, and it was impossible to increase his real power!
But the person who informed was served by Zhang Jing... Could it be that Zhang Jing had imagined it perfectly and was particularly beautiful, but in fact it leaked the news?
The more Xu Jue thought about it, the more frightened he felt, but Feng Bao had already turned pale. Even though he had beaten Zhang Cheng, Zhang Cheng was the one who came out of his name!
He stood up suddenly, but after a moment, he slowly sat down, and his face regained a normal look: "I understand, whether it is the person who has given the head or the witness, you should hold it first. When I return to the palace tomorrow, I will catch the tangible evidence. During this period, you should look at people carefully and don't let them get any damage!"
Liu Shouyou quickly bowed to his face, but when he was about to leave the house, he couldn't help but look at Xu Jue again when he turned around. Seeing Xu Jue's face changing, he found that he was paying attention, so he immediately stopped and changed into a decent smile. After crossing the threshold and leaving the door, he couldn't help frowning thoughtfully. It was not until Feng Bangning left the gate that he suddenly paused and said to Feng Bangning affectionately: "Bangning, you have been resting at home for so long. When will you go back to the Jinyiwei to do things? The previous incident has passed so long. Do you want me to turn around and ask for love for you in front of Eunuch Feng?"
Feng Bangning almost said straightforwardly that good thing. Finally, he knew Feng Bao's temperament and said, "I appreciate the good intentions of the governor, but my uncle is very strict. I'd better see the opportunity in the future."
Liu Shouyou also knew that Feng Bangning didn't need such direct kindness, but the two of them were in the same yamen after all. After using this, he said without hesitation: "You were plotted by You Qi before, and you suffered a great loss. In the future, you need to be careful about these little people like the servants and lackeys, so that they can take advantage of the opportunity. You must know that these little people sometimes use any means to climb up."
Feng Bangning was not a fool, and he seemed to have some point in his words. After watching Liu Shouyou get on the horse, he couldn't think about it repeatedly. But until he returned to Feng Bao's door, he suddenly realized that Liu Shouyou's words were probably not someone else, but Xu Jue, who had been in contact with You Qichang back then and had always been his uncle Feng Bao's strong arms! He took a breath, lifted the curtain and entered the room, and whispered that Liu Shouyou had left, but when he left, he said something with great pleasure.
"Uncle, although you don't come often in this private house outside the palace, sometimes people always ask for a visit because of various things. Whether it's father or me, it's always difficult to make decisions. Xu Jue himself also has a private house, and it's impossible to live here all the time. Do you think you can let Eunuch Zhang, the Zhang family, come out to take charge? In addition to you, you, the private houses of the father-in-law outside the Silijian family have always been managed by their own private officials."
Feng Bao's energy is now focused on Zhang Jing sending someone to report to Zhang Cheng. How could he take this little thing Feng Bangning mentioned to heart? He said without thinking about it carefully: "I understand, I will let Zhang Dashou pick some suitable people to come out and put them here. You are too old, so someone can help me and learn a little. Don't always worry me. Go down!"
Xu Jue didn't notice what Feng Bangning asked for at all. He was suspicious and full of questions about how this matter broke out and so on. It was not until Feng Bao suddenly slapped the handrail and he woke up.
"Xu Jue, you go back first, and stay in the East Factory tomorrow to see what other monsters and monsters are there. I want to rest for a while and I will return to the palace immediately tomorrow morning!"
