Miss Feng Er has been shutting herself in the room since she came back from the palace. At least she wanted to let the Queen Mother know that she was thinking about her past behind closed doors.
A month has passed, and there is still an excerpt from the Feng family in the court. Cao Ben, who came back from Taozhou, gathered with some civil servants all day long, talking a lot, and even told the tragic situation of being kidnapped.
, his belt was taken away and his trousers fell off. He was embarrassed in front of the people in the city. He wanted to bite his tongue and commit suicide, but in the end he survived. It is easy to die, but it is difficult to live with humiliation. He did not die.
I will always remember this day and seek justice for the people of Taozhou.
It's a very embarrassing thing, but when Cao Ben said it himself, it didn't seem to be funny. Instead, it made people admire him. As long as he has a thick skin, he is not afraid of driving himself into a dead end.
Moreover, Miss Feng Er also heard that Cao Ben submitted a memorial and requested to be transferred to Taozhou. Cao Ben obviously did not discuss it with the Grand Master. The Grand Master personally persuaded Cao Ben to stay in the capital, but Cao Ben seemed to be a middle-aged man.
He was determined to return to Taozhou. In order to prove his determination, he even planned to move his family there first. He also told everyone he met every day that he missed the spring plowing in Taozhou this year, which might be a great regret in his life.
The uncle of the Feng family came back from Fujian and heard that his sister had been punished, so he immediately told his sister what had happened.
"I don't know what kind of evil has happened to each of them," Feng Chenghai said. "It's fine if Xie Chen doesn't return to the capital. Cao Ben wants to take up a post when he comes back. There was Song Guangyan before him. Who is there in Taozhou?"
What's better, let them rush over one by one."
This is also what Miss Feng Er is curious about.
What is it, or someone is leading them there?
Miss Feng Er has done nothing these days, except to ask her father to order the most trustworthy people to go to Taozhou to investigate thoroughly. Starting from Sun Ji's case, they will see if there is any other inside story besides Zhao Jingyun that they don't know.
I didn't expect to actually find out something.
Feng Chenghai looked at his sister.
Miss Feng Er raised her eyes: "Brother, are you afraid that I will be sad?" She knew that her eldest brother must have seen the letter sent by the eyeliner from her father.
Feng Chenghai hurriedly smiled and said: "It's okay. Who doesn't know that all the women in the boudoir are envious of my sister, and the children of high-ranking officials and noble families want to come to ask for marriage."
At this point, Feng Chenghai changed his tone: "If you want to blame it, blame that Xiao Yu. If it weren't for him, how could you miss my sister's marriage?"
Miss Feng didn't say anything. Feng Chenghai coughed and said, "We still have to find out more. Maybe that Zhao Luoyang has nothing to do with Xiao Yu."
There is a portrait on Miss Feng Er's table. It depicts a peasant girl. The girl has a simple bun with no hairpin on her head. She is wearing a coarse cloth dress, but the look in her eyebrows is...
The smile and the dimples on the cheeks make people feel close to her.
Second Miss Feng was sure that Zhao Luoyang might be better-looking than this portrait. The Feng family's eyeliners were afraid of offending her, so they would make the painting as mediocre as possible.
Miss Feng Er said: "If I hadn't checked that family before, I wouldn't have discovered it so quickly." Xiao Yu protected that family very well, but if the Feng family wanted to check, they would definitely find clues.
She hadn't thought about it before because she didn't take that family seriously, because Xiao Yu never went to the Zhao family again when he was alive.
Now it seems that she may have thought wrong.
Xiao Yu's people and the Zhao family are all in Taozhou. This can't be a coincidence. When Sun Ji's accident happened, the Zhao family's group happened to have arrived in Min County, not to mention that when they encountered bandits on the road,
Nie Shuang also helped.
It was clear that when Xiao Yu was alive, he asked his men to take care of that family.
Miss Feng Er found that she had not been able to see Xiao Yu clearly until now. She felt that he only cared about power and profit, but he was so kind to the Zhao family who took care of him.
What is so special about the Zhao family? The girl from the Zhao family is just a peasant woman. No matter how powerful she is, she just does some business and leads people to farm in the fields.
The Feng family investigated Zhao Luoyang very carefully. After Zhao Luoyang arrived in Taozhou, he seemed to help Zhao Jingyun deal with Sun Ji and her family's steward. He spent most of his time doing small business in order to have enough to eat.
How ridiculous.
Zhao Luoyang was obviously very different from her, yet she still had to worry about Zhao Luoyang.
Feng Chenghai also wanted to persuade his sister, but Miss Feng raised her head and said: "Brother, I was scolded by the Queen Mother this time when I entered the palace, but I think I understand."
Feng Chenghai didn't know what his sister was referring to, so he couldn't interrupt.
Miss Feng Er continued: "It's useless to rely on anyone, even my aunt... When things are good, everyone is fine, but if something goes wrong, we don't know who will be blamed."
The Queen Mother reprimanded her for not knowing the importance and punishing those who took refuge in the Feng family at will. But the Queen Mother was not the same. To put it bluntly, the Guojiu Mansion was a chess piece in the hands of the Queen Mother and could be sacrificed at any time.
Feng Chenghai looked outside with a wary look: "Sister..."
"Don't worry," Miss Feng Er said, "Everyone in my yard is trustworthy. What we say will not spread."
Feng Chenghai breathed a long sigh of relief, and then remembered his sister's words: "Sister, what do you mean..."
"The Guojiu Mansion depends on my brother," Second Miss Feng looked at Feng Chenghai, "When my father is old, and there are successors to the Guojiu Mansion, those officials who follow us will continue to serve us wholeheartedly. While the outside world is still guessing, the Queen Mother
I will ask the emperor to appoint me as his queen, and my brother must hold on to the authority and at least make some achievements to convince others."
Feng Chenghai followed the path of a military general. Although he had made some achievements in Fujian, they were just small battles and were far behind Xiao Yu. This is why after Xiao Yu died, the Feng family could not take control of Xiao Yu.
In terms of military power, Feng Chenghai did not have much military merit.
"Brother is going to Taozhou this time," Miss Feng said. "Not only is he going, but he also has to win the battle. He will take the elites of the Feng family and equip him with military supplies, weapons, food and grass, and organize Taozhou in one fell swoop."
Feng Chenghai looked at his sister in surprise.
Miss Feng Er said: "Wang Zeng has made arrangements. My brother went to Taozhou to fight the Tubo people. It was the biggest battle between Qi and Tibet since the death of the late emperor."
"I," Feng Chenghai said, "don't know much about the Northwest Pass."
"Brother doesn't need to know," Miss Feng Er said, "Tubo won't send many soldiers and horses. They can only have a few hundred people to take advantage of the chaos. What brother has to deal with is the people in the village. When the time comes, they will be counted as Tubo soldiers and horses.
, is it possible that my brother thought that he would still face the King of Tubo? Is there another prince as the commander-in-chief? "
Naturally, Feng Chenghai would not think so.
Miss Feng Er said: "The road will be paved for my brother. Even if I don't tell him, my father will let him do this. It depends on his own ability."
Feng Chenghai was called back to the capital to deal with Taozhou affairs, but Miss Feng reminded him first.
It was a small village, but the Feng family had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, enough to kill the people in the village, go to the Tubo Pass and then come back.
Anyone can win this battle. Feng Chenghai's face became firm: "I know, I will definitely win this military honor this time."
Without waiting for Miss Feng to say anything, Feng Chenghai said: "I will also find the Zhao family and help my sister get rid of the bad breath."
"Don't forget," Miss Feng Er said, "There are also Xiao Yu's people who need to be cleaned up. I don't want to hear any more news about the Wuwei Army."
Feng Chenghai looked doting on his face: "Don't worry, sister, my brother will definitely take care of this."
