Feng Renji saw the hesitation on Hu Hai's face, as if he had given up on impeaching Fu Yao, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
When he was about to find an excuse to leave, a servant suddenly ran in from outside and said to Hu Hai: "Master, Master, something big has happened."
Hu Hai immediately asked: "What's the matter?"
The servant said: "Master Fusu just left."
Hu Hai was slightly startled: "Leaved?"
Tomorrow is the date for the large group of people to set off. Everyone should follow the emperor and return to Xianyang together. Why did Fusu leave first?
Hu Hai asked the servant: "Did you know why he left first? Did he go back to Xianyang?"
The servant said: "Why Mr. Fusu left first, I don't know. But he did not go back to Xianyang, but went to the west."
Hu Hai frowned: "Going to the west? If he goes to the west at this time, won't he go back to Xianyang?"
Feng Renji was overjoyed when he saw that Hu Hai's attention was no longer on him.
He laughed dryly, cupped his hands towards Hu Hai, and said, "Sir, I'll take my leave now."
Hu Hai said calmly: "Wait."
Feng Renji stiffened and forced a smile: "Master...is there anything else you can do?"
Hu Hai said calmly: "My master, I need you to impeach one more person."
Feng Ren explained with a bitter look on his face: "Didn't you just say it to me? There is nothing that can be impeached in Yiqu City. It is really difficult to find fault with Master Fu Yao here. There are many impeachments. Otherwise, it will easily arouse His Majesty's resentment. It will be counterproductive and the gain will not be worth the loss."
Hu Hai smiled slightly and said: "My master is not trying to impeach Fu Yao, but Fu Su."
"Fusu..." Feng Renji took a breath of air.
He laughed dryly and said: "Do you have any grudge between Young Master and Fusu? Young Master Fusu is kind and generous to others, and he always convinces people with reason. I have never heard of anyone he had an enmity with. Why is Young Master so good? Impeach Fusu?”
Hu Hai said calmly: "Both Fusu and Fu Yao are contenders for the position of prince. It will be beneficial to me to defeat any of them."
Feng Renji sighed.
Hu Hai said excitedly: "This is the right time to impeach Fusu. Now Fusu has gone to the west. He is not in front of my father. We took the opportunity to say bad things about him, and he didn't even have a chance to refute."
Feng Renji frowned and said, "But..."
Hu Hai glared: "But what? Does Master Feng think that my sword is not fast enough?"
Feng Renji laughed dryly and said: "Quick enough, fast enough..."
Hu Hai waved his hand: "Go away."
Feng Renji responded and left cautiously.
After arriving on the street, Feng Renji began to sigh.
This Young Master Hu Hai is just a tiger, ready to eat people at every turn. Why am I being targeted by him? What a bad luck.
Impeach Mr. Fusu? Mr. Fusu is indeed not in front of His Majesty, but Chunyu Yue is.
Chunyu Yue was full of poetry and books, and he was full of benevolence, justice and morality, but he was definitely not a vegetarian.
If I offend Chun Yuyue, can I get any good fruit from him? This is how to do?
Last time, Chunyu Yue was impeached because of the fairy paper incident. Fortunately, he was more generous and didn't pursue it. This time, if we want to impeach Mr. Fusu, it will definitely hit Chun Yuyue's Achilles' heel, and he will definitely fight to the death.
Feng Renji sighed hard.
He wanted to leave officialdom more and more, go back to cultivate a few acres of thin farmland, and spend his life peacefully.
At this moment, someone tapped Feng Renji on the shoulder.
Feng Renji was startled, turned around and found that it was Li Si's servant.
Feng Renji sighed and asked helplessly: "Master Tingwei, do you have any orders?"
The servant said: "Sir Tingwei said that if we didn't succeed this time, the blame is not yours. Your Excellency knows right from wrong and will not accuse you unreasonably. But...you should take some time to eat in the future. Don't let similar things happen again." "
Feng Renji nodded, but he was complaining crazily in his heart: Something like this? Still want me to impeach others? It's really terrible.
After Li Si's servant left, Feng Renji felt depressed and wandered around Yiqu City, and finally came to the teahouse.
The scene of drinking tea last time was still vivid in his mind, so Feng Renji went in.
He wanted to retire and return home, but he also knew that the important officials in the court would not allow him to leave.
In this case, go and have a cup of tea. While drinking tea, imagine a secluded life.
Although it is short-lived, it is also a kind of relaxation.
Feng Renji sat in the teahouse for several hours. When he came out again, it was already dark.
Feng Renji looked at the road and walked towards his residence.
When he passed a small alley, he suddenly heard a muffled groan coming from inside.
Feng Renji was slightly startled.
He turned around and looked into the alley. The alley was pitch dark, a dead end, and there was no one at all.
Who is in this dark alley? Definitely not a good person.
Feng Renji didn't know what he was thinking. Somehow, he walked towards the alley.
He stood at the entrance of the alley, peering inside.
As a result, there was a bright sword on his neck.
Feng Renji's body stiffened, and he immediately didn't dare to move anymore.
He whispered: "Strong man, you have something to say."
The man in the darkness did not speak, but kept forcing Feng Renji with his sword and led him into a dark alley.
Feng Renji was sweating on the top of his head, and he was very nervous: Could it be that... he is going to die here today? Unfortunately, I still don’t know who this person is and why he wants to kill me.
Feng Renji thought about it and felt that he had offended more people recently.
But he cleverly explained the misunderstanding and there was no need for those people to kill.
At this time, the person in the darkness whispered: "Who are you?"
Feng Renji: "..."
The sword is on my neck, you don't know who I am?
He said tremblingly: "I am Feng Renji, the censor of the imperial court."
The man said coldly: "Feng Renji? Never heard of it."
Feng Renji laughed dryly: "In that case, I definitely have no grudge against my brother. Farewell, farewell, I'm leaving first."
But the man refused to let Feng Ren run away quickly.
He suddenly whispered: "Just tell me, Master Hu Hai is not as good as a pig or a dog."
Feng Renji: "..."
What is all this mess?
Could this man be Hu Hai's dead soldier? That shouldn't be the case. Why did Hu Hai's dead men ask me to scold Hu Hai?
The man seemed a little impatient: "I count to three, if you don't say anything, don't blame me for being ruthless with my sword."
Feng Renji immediately whispered: "Master Hu Hai is not as good as a pig or a dog."
In the darkness, the man's face could not be seen. But Feng Renji always felt that the man's attitude had softened a lot.
However, his sword was still pressed against Feng Renji's neck and refused to let go.
The man suddenly said: "In your opinion, who should your Majesty make the crown prince?"
Feng Renji smiled bitterly and said, "How did I know this?"
The sword tightened again.
Feng Ren said with a sad face: "Li... Li Fusu, after all, he is the eldest son. But... Fu Yao is not bad, he has the help of the banished immortal."
The man asked quietly: "Why not establish Hu Hai?"
Feng Renji coughed dryly: "Hu Hai, that's not appropriate..."
When he said this, he felt a chill on the back of his neck.
These are all treacherous remarks. Once people listen to them, they are simply seeking death.
However, with the sword on his neck, Feng Renji had no choice but to risk his life.
Finally, the man put down his sword and sat down on the ground.
He whispered: "I am not a bad person, and I have no intention of hurting you. I am a craftsman from Shangjun Courtyard."
Feng Renji asked in surprise: "Are you from Shangjun Courtyard?"
The man hummed: "My name is Si Ma."
Feng Renji said, "Then why did you kidnap me just now?"
The man whispered: "I am being hunted. The person who is chasing me is Mr. Hu Hai's dead soldier. He has been dressing up. Sometimes he is a clerk in a shop, sometimes he is a pedestrian on the road, and sometimes They are merchants who sell goods.”
" Along the way, I relied on my excellent skills to avoid being chased by him again and again. However, I was still seriously injured. When I got here, I couldn't walk anymore. "
"The dead man should be nearby now. As soon as I show up, I will definitely be killed by him. Just now I suspected that he was here again, so I asked you a few questions."
Feng Renji suddenly realized, no wonder the man asked him to scold Mr. Hu Hai just now. It turned out to be this purpose.
Feng Renji smiled dryly and said, "In that case, I'll leave first."
Si Ma said calmly: "You can't leave. What if you inform Hu Hai after you go out?"
Feng Renji was a little speechless. He explained: "I am good friends with the banished immortal, and I am also quite familiar with Mr. Fu Yao. I will not inform anyone."
Si Ma didn't believe it: "I have been in Shang Jun's Courtyard for so long, but I have never heard of someone like you. It shows that you are not a friend of the banished immortal at all."
Feng Renji was helpless: "Can't I just be our friend?"
No matter what Feng Renji said, Si Ma just refused to let him go.
In the end, Feng Renji had no choice but to sit down.
He knew that Si Ma was seriously injured, and he wanted to take the opportunity to knock Si Ma out and then leave this place of right and wrong.
But then I thought about it, this Si Ma was a desperado. Although he was injured, he had a weapon in his hand. If he couldn't kill him, he would be killed instead. It's better to hold him steady and wait and see.
So Feng Renji asked Si Ma: "Why are Hu Hai's dead men chasing you?"
Si Ma took a deep breath and said a little tiredly: "At first, I was worried that I would report a message to Master Fu Yao. I am the messenger sent by the Exalted Immortal, and I want to inform Master Fu Yao that His Majesty is coming to Beidi County."
Si Ma said helplessly: "However, His Majesty has already arrived."
Si Ma hummed: "I know His Majesty has already arrived. I was injured by the messenger on the way. I have been running for my life these days and there is no time to report the news."
"The dead man is now chasing me to kill me. He wants to kill me and silence me so that His Majesty will not know that Mr. Hu Hai once planned to use despicable means to win this competition."
Feng Renji nodded slowly.
He asked Si Ma: "How long do you plan to hide here?"
Si Ma said: "I plan to hide until dawn. There are people from Mr. Fu Yao everywhere in Yiqu City. When Mr. Fu Yao came here, he brought several craftsmen from Shang Jun's courtyard. I only believe in Shang Jun. People from other courtyards. As long as I see these craftsmen, I will immediately run to ask for help. As long as they protect me, I can survive."
Feng Renji said: "It seems that I will sit here with you until dawn."
Si Ma didn't speak, and seemed to agree with this statement.
Feng Renji huddled in the corner, holding his knees with his hands, feeling dazed.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he thought of another possibility.
What if...what if I don't obey Hu Hai? Hu Hai asked me to sue Fusu, but I can ignore it.
Not only that, I can sue Hu Hai.
As long as Hu Hai is brought down, his dead soldiers will naturally be scattered, and even all of them will be captured by Your Majesty. And I will be safe.
Thinking of this, Feng Renji felt a little excited.
He is not an idiot. He knows that His Majesty is a little dissatisfied with Hu Hai recently.
He might not succeed in suing others, but he was very confident in suing Hu Hai.
What's more, Hu Hai actually sent out dead soldiers to hunt down the messengers of the other two young masters, hoping to win by such despicable means. After hearing this, His Majesty must have been furious.
After thinking about this, Feng Renji looked at Si Ma beside him: "Do you want to sue Hu Hai?"
Si Ma said calmly: "I only trust the people in Shangjun Courtyard."
Feng Renji persuaded him earnestly and sincerely, and the four horses kept saying these words back and forth.
Feng Renji was a little helpless.
The two of them sat in the alley like this, and gradually fell asleep.
The next morning, Feng Renji woke up first.
In fact, he didn't sleep much at all that night. After all, he is a high official and a wealthy man, and he has never suffered much in his life. It's impossible to sleep well in a place like this.
Si Ma was different. He was used to this kind of life, and he was injured, so he slept heavily.
Feng Renji took advantage of the horse to sleep, climbed up carefully, tiptoed out of the alley, and then ran all the way, trying to escape as far away as possible.
Not long after Feng Ren sprinted, he saw a large group of people coming in front of him slowly.
It's His Majesty's chariot. Your Majesty is leading people to leave Yiqu City.
Feng Renji rushed over, shouting as he ran: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, Feng Renji, has something important to report."
The guards around him had already drawn their swords when they saw a man running over.
However, many people present recognized Feng Renji and quickly cheered. Therefore, the guards only stopped Feng Renji, but did not cut him into pieces.
Ying Zheng asked calmly in the car: "What's the matter?"
Feng Renji was out of breath: "I...I want to sue a young master."
The whole place was in an uproar.
Everyone looked at Feng Renji with admiration: This guy is really brave.
It doesn't matter if you impeach courtiers and princes once or twice. What is rare is the impeachment repeated over and over again.
Ying Zheng's voice was helpless: "Who are you going to sue again?"
Feng Renji coughed dryly: "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. In order to avoid leaking the secret, I request to report it to Your Majesty alone."
Ying Zheng was silent for a while and said calmly: "That's all, get in the car."
Feng Renji responded and cautiously got into the carriage.
Hu Hai looked at Feng Renji's back with a smile on his face: "This Feng Renji is very quick in his work." He just gave the order yesterday, and he is going to sue Fusu today? Not bad, very good.
