Hu Xiaotian said: "The only thing I'm not sure about is whether Ji Feihua will count me among them. If he also wants to sacrifice me at the same time, I'm afraid the risk will be much greater this time."
Zhan Peng said: "I'm pretty good at water, so I'll leave Wen Boyuan to me to deal with it myself."
Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "Wen Boyuan has long been suspicious of you, but it is difficult for you to find an opportunity." He squatted down, picked up a dead branch from the ground, and drew a boat on the ground: "If I guessed correctly,
Something might happen to the princess's ship, so Wen Boyuan will definitely choose to escort her on the same boat. Brother Zhou is responsible for protecting the princess. You are responsible for helping me clear out the people around Wen Boyuan and preventing them from rescuing Wen Boyuan. Leave all other matters to me.
.”
Zhan Peng said: "But wouldn't this young master be taking a lot of risks?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Except for me, it is difficult for you to get close to Wen Boyuan, and when it comes to underwater kung fu, few people can catch up with me." Hu Xiaotian did not boast, he learned how to pretend to be dead from the old beggar, and accompanied Qi
When Qi went to Piao Miao Mountain to explore the secrets, he learned the trick of staying underwater for a long time without taking a breath. In terms of water ability, few ordinary people could catch up with him. Even if Wen Boyuan's martial arts were better than him, once Wen Boyuan, a landlubber, got underwater,
, and the only option is to wait for death.
Zhan Peng said: "What if Ji Feihua has other plans?" What he was talking about was what Hu Xiaotian just mentioned.
Hu Xiaotian stood up and looked to the southeast sky, which was the direction of Kangdu. Although he also had this concern, for some reason, he always felt that this possibility was slim. Deep in his heart, he always believed that Ji Feihua was currently
She still had no intention of harming him, otherwise why would he give her that body of water? If Ji Feihua really wanted to get rid of herself, then my father and mother would not be able to escape their fate.
Ever since Hu Xiaotian left Kangdu, Xu Fengyi's face has never shown a smile again. Of course Hu Buwei can understand his wife's mood. The peach blossoms in the courtyard where they live have bloomed, and the spring scenery is quietly blooming with this little bit of red.
Came here.
The sun was shining brightly, but Xu Fengyi's face did not become brighter because of the sunshine, and was still covered with a layer of gloom.
Hu Buwei came to her side quietly and handed her a cloth bag. Xu Fengyi came to her senses: "What?"
"have a look!"
Xu Fengyi unfolded the cloth bag and found a boxwood comb inside.
Hu Buwei said: "When I was passing by the market, I saw this comb and remembered that yours was broken, so I bought it for you."
Xu Fengyi held the ordinary wooden comb, and a warm current surged in her heart. It is only in times of adversity that true love emerges. The couple has experienced too many things during this period. Fortunately, they are still alive. What makes her even more gratified is that her son
Also alive.
Hu Buwei smiled and said, "What? Are you thinking about your son again?"
Xu Fengyi nodded, her eye circles becoming red again.
Hu Buwei said: "Don't worry, nothing will happen to Xiaotian. He is so smart and can avert any danger."
Xu Fengyi sighed softly and said: "Although I say that, my son has traveled thousands of miles and my mother is worried. The world is so chaotic now, and the relationship between Da Kang and Da Yong is quite delicate. I just hope that he will come back safely."
Hu Buwei stretched out his hand to hold his wife's hand, but found that his formerly round and smooth palm had become extremely rough. He couldn't help but feel guilty in his heart, and said apologetically: "Because I have made you tired."
Xu Fengyi shook her head and said: "Why should a family say such things? When I chose you despite my mother's objections, I was already prepared to suffer with you. I have lived a comfortable life with you for decades.
Even if I die now, I have no regrets."
Hu Buwei deliberately made a serious face and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? We are still waiting for Xiaotian to come back."
Xu Fengyi said sadly: "I would rather he left and never came back." She turned to Hu Buwei and said: "I really regret that when the Hu family was convicted. Why didn't we just die? If we died
, Xiaotian no longer has any worries, let alone risking coming back to the capital to save us, how can anything happen to him? "
Hu Buwei said: "Isn't it too late to say this at this time?"
Xu Fengyi shook her head and said: "It's not too late, it's not too late, if we die, can Xiaotian not come back?"
Hu Buwei sighed and whispered: "Feng Yi, you don't know your son. If we really take that step, he will never leave. I'm afraid..." He looked around
Look, this sentence was not spoken in the end. Based on his understanding of his son, if something happened to them, Hu Xiaotian might do something to overturn the great fortune and take revenge.
There was a gentle knock on the courtyard door, and Hu Buwei stood up. Since the Hu family was in trouble and temporarily living in Shuijing'er Hutong, their every move is under official surveillance. On weekdays, few people come to visit, even relatives and friends.
Friends are also avoiding me one by one. After so long, only a few of them come: "Who is it?"
A shrill voice outside the door asked: "Master Hu, are you here?" As he spoke, the courtyard door was slowly pushed open, and Ji Feihua, dressed in dark blue palace clothes, walked slowly into the courtyard.
Hu Buwei hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "The criminal Hu Buwei is here to see the Admiral..." He hurriedly winked at Xu Fengyi and signaled Xu Fengyi to come over and greet him.
Xu Fengyi hated this red eunuch from the bottom of her heart, but thinking of her son's future destiny in the palace, she had to come over and salute.
A faint smile appeared on Ji Feihua's lips: "So Mrs. Hu is here too."
Hu Buwei said: "Madam, hurry up and pour tea for the admiral."
Xu Fengyi turned around and left.
Hu Buwei invited Ji Feihua to sit inside, but Ji Feihua shook her head, sat down where Xu Fengyi had just been, looked at the blooming peach blossoms not far away, and said softly: "The peach blossoms have bloomed!"
Xu Fengyi came out with the poured tea and handed one of the rough porcelain teacups to Ji Feihua.
Ji Feihua took it with both hands and said politely: "Thank you, Mrs. Xu."
Xu Fengyi noticed that Ji Feihua's palms looked like they were carved from white jade. They were really delicate and smooth to the extreme. They were even whiter and more slender than her daughter's palms. She secretly sighed in her heart, this eunuch was so beautiful that even women would be jealous of him.
He was so beautiful that he thought of his son again, but he didn't know if his son would become as neither boy nor girl as him in the future.
Xu Fengyi was about to leave, but Ji Feihua stopped her and said, "Madam, there's no need to rush away. Let's sit down together. The Za family just wants to ask you something."
Xu Fengyi glanced at her husband and Hu Buwei said: "Sit down when the Admiral asks you to sit down." Then she smiled at Ji Feihua and said: "The Admiral is just laughing at me. I don't have much knowledge about women."
Ji Feihua said: "How can the eldest lady of the Xu family in Jinling be so ignorant? Master Hu's words are unfair to Madam."
Hu Buwei was shocked when he suddenly mentioned the Xu family in Jinling. The expression on his face remained unchanged. He changed the subject with a smile and said, "What do you want from me, Lord Admiral, for coming to see me this time?"
Ji Feihua said: "It's nothing, I just stopped by to take a look. Eunuch Hu and I have a close relationship. I already regard him as my own brother in my heart. When he is away from home, I just take care of his parents."
"
Hu Buweicheng said in fear: "I don't dare to take it seriously. The admiral is really trying to kill Hu."
Ji Feihua said: "Master Hu, you don't need to be outside. If you encounter any difficulties or anything that can't be solved, just tell the Zajia clearly. The Zajia can still say a few words to the emperor."
Hu Buwei said: "Thank you very much, Lord Admiral."
Ji Feihua said: "I heard from the Ministry of Finance that Mr. Hu has almost handed over the matter?"
Hu Buwei said: "Yes!" He couldn't help but feel uneasy in his heart. The rabbit was dead and the dog was cooked, and the bird was hidden. The reason why the emperor kept his life was simply because he was still of some use to the Ministry of Revenue.
If he disappears, it will be his death.
Ji Feihua said: "Master Hu, there is no need to be formal. Let's just chat casually. Recently, the Za family has heard some things from the palace, but there is no way to tell whether they are true or false, so I would like to ask Master Hu to help me with the details."
Hu Buwei said respectfully: "I am valued by the Admiral. Hu must know everything and say everything."
Ji Feihua said: "Does Mr. Hu still remember the case of Chu Yuanhai nineteen years ago?"
Hu Buwei said: "Remember, the Chu Yuanhai case shocked the world nineteen years ago." He was secretly frightened, but his expression was as usual, and his answer was accurate. The Chu Yuanhai case shocked the world, not only me.
Remember, many people remember.
Ji Feihua said: "It is said that at that time, there were 180,000 taels of red gold and 3 million taels of silver found in the cellar of Chu Yuanhai's house, not to mention other rare and rare treasures. It was at that time that Dakang's financial affairs
Something went terribly wrong.”
Hu Buwei said: "Although I am the successor of Chu Yuanhai, I have no personal relationship with Chu Yuanhai. When his case occurred, I was still an official in Jinling and I did not know the specific situation."
Ji Feihua smiled and said: "Master Hu, don't think too much, the Za family just asked casually." He sighed and said: "There is a rumor in the palace recently that although Chu Yuanhai's family was confiscated and his family was exterminated when the case was committed, there are still big
No fortune was found."
Hu Buwei said: "I have also heard this rumor. After I took over the Account Department, it took me two full years just to clean up the accounts of the Account Department. I didn't find many omissions. I don't know why this rumor came about.
rise?"
Ji Feihua said meaningfully: "Accounts are always made by people. Maybe someone deliberately wants to hide it?"
Hu Buwei clasped his hands and bowed in the direction of the imperial city: "I, Hu Buwei, am loyal to Dakang. I can learn from the sun and the moon."
Ji Feihua laughed: "Master Hu still doesn't understand why he has fallen into the current situation?"
Hu Buwei said nothing.
Ji Feihua said: "What the emperor really cares about is not Da Kang but himself." (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
