Ying Zheng was in the study, closing his eyes and relaxing.
In fact, he has been in good spirits recently, eating deliciously and feeling in great health. The spirit does not need to be nourished at all.
But today, he was a little tired.
He knew that Feng Quli had arrived, and he also knew that Wang Wu had arrived.
These two people are eager to meet. After meeting them, we can find out what happened in the barbarian country.
But Ying Zheng didn't want to see them.
He once had high hopes for Feng Quli, hoping that he could check and balance Wang Wan and the power of the prime minister.
But Ying Zheng suddenly realized that Feng Quli... couldn't help him up. He does things erratically and a little bit shabbily. He is not good at what he does, but he still wants to frame others.
Of course, maybe Feng Quli wanted it, and maybe the military book was indeed his experience. But in that case, it proves that Huaiguzi is not a good person.
Although Huaiguzi has always been shameless and doesn't care whether he is a good person or not.
But...Huai Guzi married Wei Young after all. If Huaiguzi is embarrassed, Weiyang is embarrassed, and if Weiyang is embarrassed, he is embarrassed.
He is the emperor and the emperor, can he be embarrassed? Absolutely not.
Therefore, Ying Zheng was very confused.
He sighed, shook his head, and continued to think.
At this time, a young eunuch came in and whispered: "Your Majesty, Xiao Yi has sent a letter."
Ying Zheng was upset now and was about to say no, but at this time he was slightly stunned and said: "A letter? What letter?"
The young eunuch said: "I don't know, I don't know. It seems to be about the barbarian country."
As soon as Ying Zheng heard the words "Barbarian Country", he immediately became nauseated and almost vomited.
This feeling is just like in the far west. When Augustus heard about Da Qin, he also had some strange physiological reactions.
Ying Zheng said calmly: "Bring the letter up."
Putting it off is not the answer.
Although the barbarian country made Ying Zheng worried, he didn't want to delay it. An emperor through the ages, with amazing courage.
He took the letter, looked at it for a few times, and immediately smiled: "Unexpectedly, Feng Quli did such a thing secretly."
This letter was written by Xiao Yi to Ying Zheng, but at the end of the letter, Feng A's letter to Feng Quli was attached.
Therefore, now Ying Zhengqing clearly knows that Feng Jia is asking Feng Quli for money and then bribes Wang Wu.
A dignified imperial censor used bribery to ask a pawn to give false testimony. It sounds embarrassing.
Ying Zheng thought for a while and said to the eunuch: "Go and tell Xiao Yi, pretend you don't know anything, find an opportunity and give the letter to Feng Quli."
The young eunuch agreed and left in a hurry.
After Xiao Yi received Ying Zheng's order, he immediately went to find Feng Quli with the letter.
Xiao Yi was not surprised by Ying Zheng's order because this operation was so familiar.
Isn't this an operation to banish an immortal?
He obviously had a chance to win, but he deliberately pretended to be stupid and didn't know anything. Then... lure the snake out of its hole and give the opponent a fatal blow.
Immediately afterwards, you can take your time to appreciate the other person's expressions of astonishment, shock, confusion, and fear.
It's too bad, it's really too bad.
Xiao Yi laughed out loud while thinking about Ying Zheng's inner activities.
…………
Feng Quili was waiting in a side hall, feeling a little restless.
He came just before dawn. The purpose of coming so early is to show respect for His Majesty.
For a minister, the earlier he comes and the longer he waits, the more loyal he will be to His Majesty.
When he first arrived here, Feng Quili was still silently reciting the draft he had written before.
But when he memorized the manuscript thoroughly, no one came to see him.
Feng Quli started to feel a little worried.
He was restless, going back and forth in circles.
After walking around for a few times, he discovered that the young eunuch serving in the distance had been secretly looking at him, as if he was admiring his anxious look.
So Feng Quli forced himself to calm down again.
At least... he acted relatively calmly.
However, Feng Quli soon felt tired, hungry and sleepy.
I haven't slept well in the past few days. After all, I want to build your majesty. I'm so anxious that I can't sleep at all.
I didn’t eat this morning either, I couldn’t eat at all.
I don’t know why, but when I got here, I suddenly felt sleepy and hungry.
Feng Quili felt dizzy and extremely uncomfortable.
It's definitely not okay to eat and drink a lot here, but luckily, tea is served here.
There is such a benefit in the palace, there is free tea to drink.
Although drinking water cannot fill your stomach, it can at least make you hungry. And it is said that tea can refresh you. I hope it can be solved.
I don’t know if it’s true. Anyway, there is no other choice now, so let’s treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
Feng Quili drank a lot of tea. After drinking for a while, he suddenly felt the need to urinate again.
He estimated that the emperor would not see him for a while, so he planned to go there for convenience.
Who knew that as soon as he walked to the door, he heard footsteps coming from outside.
"Could it be that His Majesty is here? Is it that His Majesty is here in person?" Feng Quili felt excited.
He quickly took a few steps back and looked respectful.
At this time, the door of the main hall was pushed open, and a person walked in.
When Feng Quli looked at this man, he was slightly startled, and then a little disappointed.
Not your Majesty, but a little eunuch.
Immediately afterwards, a glimmer of hope ignited in Feng Quili's heart, and he asked the young eunuch: "Is His Majesty going to summon me?"
The young eunuch shook his head and said calmly: "I am Xiao Yi, and I have some friendship with the friend of your housekeeper's son."
This twist and turn made Feng Quli stunned for two seconds.
Then he asked, "So?"
Xiao Yi took out the two letters from his arms, handed them to Feng Queli, and said, "Your housekeeper wrote a letter and begged me to give it to you."
Feng Quili opened the letter and took a look, and was slightly startled.
The letter stated that Wang Wu needed to be bribed and hoped to allocate some money.
The words written in the letter were unclear, but Feng Quili could feel that the matter was urgent between the lines. And the handwriting is indeed Feng Jia's, this is absolutely unmistakable.
Feng Quili closed his eyes slightly and thought for a while, and then said to Xiao Yi: "Do you have a pen and paper? I can lend it to you?"
Xiao Yi shouted outside: "Do you have a pen and paper? Bring it over."
Soon, a young eunuch came over and brought paper and pen.
Feng Quli wrote a reply letter to Feng Jia.
In this letter, Feng Quli expressed one idea: Wang Wu must be captured, no matter how much money is spent. If the money is gone, you can still save it. If Wang Wu betrays me and my reputation is ruined, no amount of money can save me.
After writing it, Feng Quili closed the envelope and handed it to Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi coughed dryly but did not move.
Feng Quli cupped his hands and said politely: "Thank you."
Xiao Yi scratched his head: "Well, my legs have been hurting recently. I originally wanted to go to Banxian Pharmacy to buy a pair of plasters, but Xianyang medicine is expensive, and my little money is really..."
Feng Quili was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses.
He cursed secretly in his mind, and then took out a piece of gold.
The gold was stuffed into Xiao Yi's hand, and a smile finally appeared on Xiao Yi's face.
But soon, he said with some embarrassment: "Actually, not only do my legs hurt, but I also have diarrhea recently. I originally wanted to go to Banxian Pharmacy to buy some..."
Feng Quili was a little unhappy, but he still took out a piece of gold.
Xiao Yi added: "Actually, on my end..."
Feng Quli touched his body and found that there was nothing left to take out.
Such a big shot would not carry a lot of money with him. How can a high-ranking official in the DPRK behave properly if his body has a jingle all day long?
Feng Quili sighed, took off the jade pendant on his body, handed it to Xiao Yi and said, "This thing is worth a thousand gold, thank you very much."
Xiao Yi took the jade pendant, looked at Feng Quli again, and found that there was really nothing to squeeze out of him, and then left with a smile.
After Xiao Yi left, he immediately opened the letter and copied the contents into two copies, giving one copy to Ying Zheng and one copy to Shang Jun Courtyard.
After receiving instructions from Ying Zheng and Shangjun Courtyard, Xiao Yi went to Feng Xiaojia with the letter.
It’s still the Old Army Tavern.
The two drank a few more drinks, and after getting a box of gold and silver again, Xiao Yi took out the letter.
After Feng Xiaojia got the letter, he excitedly went to find Feng Jia.
Feng Jia found out that his son had easily accomplished the task, and he felt very happy.
He patted Feng Xiaojia on the shoulder and said, "Our family has a successor."
Feng Xiaojia kept laughing, with a bit of pride on his face.
Feng Jia opened the letter, glanced at it briefly, and then nodded: "Okay, okay, very good."
He said to the people behind him: "The master's order has arrived, let us do whatever it takes, we must..."
Feng Jia did not mention the specific matter of bribing Wang Wu. This was a secret among secrets and could not be revealed to others easily.
Feng Xiaojia, who was standing next to him, naturally knew what was going on.
He said to Feng Jia: "Father, how much will it cost us?"
Feng Jia shook his head and said: "I don't know, let's take a look and then talk. Let's strictly implement your orders: no matter what the cost."
"Remember, it is at all costs. You have to know that if we are stingy and Wang Wu betrays us and you are convicted, then everything will be over."
Feng Xiaojia nodded: "I understand this if you lose money and avoid disaster."
So they prepared gold and silver and went to Wang Wu's house.
At this time, Wang Wu's house was really filled with gold, silver and jewelry.
In order to put the money, Wang Wu had to buy a new house.
At first, Feng Jia and Fu Yao used wooden boxes to hide the things they sent. Later, the battle between the two parties became fierce.
They even piled gold, silver and jewelry in front of Wang Wu in front of each other.
At this time, Fu Yao could no longer fool people with stones.
Anyway, there are a lot of treasures in Shangjun Courtyard. After the money is sent to Wang Wu, it can be recorded.
Just going through the motions.
Gradually, Feng Jia felt a little tired.
The money at home has been almost exhausted. If this continues, the land should be sold.
Although Feng Quli had an order to Feng Jia at all costs.
But... is it possible to sell a house or land? You'll get scolded in the back.
He was a little uneasy, so he went to the doctor in a hurry, and actually asked his son.
He asked Feng Xiaojia: "Did we spend too much money on the painting?"
Feng Xiaojia smiled slightly and said to Feng Jia: "Father, you are wrong. Are we spending money now? We just deposited the money with Wang Wu."
Feng Jia was slightly stunned and asked: "What do you mean by this? How do you mean depositing money with him?"
Feng Xiaojia said: "Wang Wu is very important now. His confession is related to whether the master can escape safely. But after this matter is over, will Wang Wu still be important?"
"When we find an excuse to get the money back, will he dare to refuse?"
Feng Jia was stunned for a moment and nodded slowly: "What you said makes sense, it makes sense. Why didn't I think of it?"
Feng Xiaojia laughed dryly and said to Feng Jia: "So, we should spare no effort now, no matter the cost, and try our best to take down this king."
Feng Jia nodded in agreement.
He sighed and said quietly: "Are we really going to sell our ancestors' property?"
Feng Xiaojia was also a little hesitant: "Even if the owner agrees, I'm afraid he will be unhappy afterwards. But if he doesn't sell..."
Feng Jia suddenly turned pale and said, "I just thought, even if we sell our ancestors' property, can we still keep the owner? The one who opposes us is Shangjun Courtyard. The money in Shangjun Courtyard , it is like a river, inexhaustible and inexhaustible, how can we compete with it?"
Feng Xiaojia thought for a while, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said to Feng Jia: "Father, I have a good idea."
Feng Jia asked: "What's your idea?"
Feng Xiaojia said: "Doesn't this Shangjun Courtyard have lending services? It means borrowing money from outside and charging a certain amount of interest. The interest is not much, it's like giving it away for free. Some small households are taking loans."
Feng Jia said: "Then what?"
Feng Xiaojia smiled slightly: "Why don't we borrow some money? Use the money from Shangjun Courtyard to fight against Shangjun Courtyard. In this way, Shangjun Courtyard will bleed twice. I don't believe that he will not fall." .”
Feng Jia nodded: "It makes sense, it makes sense, it makes sense. Go borrow the money immediately."
Feng Xiaojia responded and went to borrow money excitedly.
The place where money is borrowed is called Banxian Bank.
Feng Xiaojia inquired about what he wanted to borrow and what he needed as collateral.
Feng Xiaojia and Feng Jia discussed it and decided to mortgage the property deed.
The Feng clan members disagreed with this decision. But there is Feng Quli's personal letter here.
Moreover, Feng Jia explained Wang Wu's matter to them, and they agreed.
Now, it is indeed a critical moment for the Feng family. There are some things that we really can't be stingy about. The most important thing is to spend a small amount of money to do big things and keep our official position and title.
As for the money...the status is still there, so you have the money, right? As long as you put your mind to it, you can make money back whenever you want, it doesn't matter.
