I don't know if it's an illusion. Although on the surface, Shui Xiang has changed his clothes. Although on the surface, he still looks like E Guan Bodai, with rich clothes, a face like a crown jewel, and an extraordinary look, Feng Ziying always feels that the other party's Jing Qi Shen no longer has the graceful and indifferent aura of the past, and even seems to be subconsciously flattering in front of him.
Before speaking, Feng Ziying tasted the product carefully to see if it was a psychological illusion, but soon realized that it was not.
The Prince of Beijing County who was knocked down from the altar no longer has the momentum and spiritual support brought by the confidence of the past. To be precise, he is now a criminal who has just been released on bail and is free.
Perhaps he could try his best to behave gracefully and calmly, but the fear and panic deep in his heart still haunted him at any time, making him endlessly worried.
"My lord, long time no see. How are you?" Even Feng Ziying herself felt that such a greeting was a bit shabby, but what would happen if she didn't greet her like this?
Just ask people straight to the point, what's your business? If you have something to say, just say it and let it go.
Fortunately, Shui Rong had adjusted his state of mind, and bowed calmly, with a warm face, "The prisoner has met you, sir. It is all thanks to your help that the prisoner can be released from prison..."
"Why do you need to be like this, Your Majesty? You and I have met several times in Beijing, but I have never been good at poetry, so I rarely attend His Majesty's poetry receptions and receptions, so we have less contact. However, Your Majesty's support for us scholars , I have always admired him very much."
Shui Rong often called some scholars to recite poems, paint, drink and sing in Beijing. The famous gardens in Beijing have left traces of this group of people. Jia Baoyu also followed them and became a guest. For this reason, he had some entanglements with this one. .
But I have to admit that the water-soluble appearance is as beautiful as Song Yu, and looks like Pan An.
Her eyebrows are thick but not thick, her eyes are clear but not gleaming, her face is delicate and delicate, and her fair skin has a hint of red, adding to her elegance. Perhaps from Feng Ziying's point of view, apart from lacking some masculine aura, it can be called perfect. Even compared to Jia Baoyu's big face, it is a bit less enchanting, but she is a bit taller than Baoyu. , looking very elegant.
"Sir, please don't use the word "Prince" again. There is no need to mention the past. Now I am also a prisoner. Without your care, I am afraid that I will still be in prison and cannot escape. I don't know what my future fate will be... ····》
At this time, Shui Rong's complexion finally became a little more decadent, and the originally rosy complexion gradually dimmed. The high-spirited and unyielding person he pretended to be in front of outsiders no longer needed to be maintained in front of Feng Ziying.
Feng Ziying actually already knew the court's opinions on how to deal with the dead tigers of the "Four Kings".
The Mu family of Dongping County and the Shui family of Beijing County were deprived of all their titles and confiscated all their property. The two chief culprits Mu Zheng and Shui Rong were sentenced to prison terms. The exact number of years has not yet been determined. Other important members will also receive corresponding prison sentences, but There was no further punishment for his family members.
In contrast, the treatment of the Nan'an County Prince and the Xining County Prince was much easier. Although they also deprived the two families of their titles, their property was not confiscated, and the members of the two families were not punished. They were simply reduced to civilians. If the two families can quickly adjust their mentality, they will be ordinary rich people. For Shui Rong, this was already a blessing. If he was sent to the army, he didn't know if he could survive it.
But even so, for families like the Mu family and the Shui family, once their political status is lost, their financial resources are deprived, and the whole family has hundreds of people, they will immediately fall apart. The so-called old Wang Xietang Qianyan will fly into the ordinary The common people's family is probably the best portrayal of it. The Mu family and the Shui family may soon be reduced to the bottom of the capital city.
Feng Ziying suddenly remembered that Shui Rongzirong had a good voice and loved to sing. She might be able to sing on stage in the Daguan Tower in the future, and she would definitely become a famous actress.
After taking a few more glances at Shui Rong, who was a little depressed, Feng Ziying suddenly discovered that Shui Tang was really similar to his brother. At this moment, he recalled the night when his wife Zhen Baoqi and Shui Tang had a happy night with him, which left endless aftertaste.
Later, I realized that this kind of thing could not happen again and again, so I kept my mind and returned without falling for Qin Keqing's "seduce and temptation" again.
I'm in Beijing, and when I suddenly saw Shui Rong today, I felt a little angry in my heart, like a prairie fire. I wished I could go back to Beijing immediately, and press Zhen Baoqi and Shuitang on the bed to have fun.
After calming down, Feng Ziying realized that she was really going crazy.
Although there are Li Min, Li Qi and Zhen Baochen in the city of Nanjing, they still feel that they are missing a bit of home. In addition, the girls are not as knowledgeable and knowledgeable about their lives as Yuanyang, Ping'er, Qingwen, Jin Chuaer and others. Feng Ziying likes maids, and Feng Ziying doesn't like men like Ruixiang Baoxiang to take care of her in daily life, so she is still a little uncomfortable, and it is inevitable that she will feel a little uneasy over time.
If I had known that I would stay in Nanjing for such a long time, I should have written to Yuanyang Ping'er or Jinchuan'er to come over. They could not only warm the bed, but also take care of their daily life. It wouldn't be like this, especially Yuanyang's own parents. Isn't it just right to be here?
"Let's do this. I won't call you Prince anymore, and you don't want to call me Sir. When we meet old friends, we don't refuse to be polite. There are no outsiders here. I will also call you Brother Shuirong, and you can just call me Ziying." Feng Ziying waved her hand, "Brother Shui Rong asked someone to tell me that you have something to tell me. Your personal attendant also revealed some things, saying that it should be related to Beidi Bailian. Is this related?"
Shui Rong nodded, "Ziying, now that it's like this, I won't hide it in front of you. When I was in the capital, Yi Zhong... no, it was the current emperor who arranged for me to contact Beidi Bailian. ,..."
Shui Rong began to talk about the whole story.
Bai Lian must have sensed something and took the initiative to take Prince Yohitada's line.
Prince Yitada's attitude towards the White Lotus Sect is quite ambivalent. Everyone knows that this is a disaster, but if the disaster is diverted eastward at a critical moment, especially when the imperial court is basically based in the north, it may have a miraculous effect.
Although in the long run, this scourge will be eradicated sooner or later, even if Prince Yoshitaka conquers the world, it does not prevent temporary cooperation and utilization.
So based on this consideration, Prince Yohitada needs someone to contact the White Lotus Sect.
Because the main personnel on Prince Yi Zhong's side were all in Jiangnan, this task fell on Shui Rong, especially since he had the name of Prince Beijing as a cover, which was just right.
Shui Rong had never done anything like this before, so he was half-understood when the White Lotus Sect came to contact him. In addition, Prince Yi Zhong only wanted to keep in touch for future use and was not willing to get too involved with the White Lotus Sect. , so in fact Shui Rong is just a talker, and the connection is not deep.
It wasn't until it was confirmed that the puppet dynasty in Nanjing would be established did the White Lotus Sect pay relatively more attention to it.
But at that time everything was busy, and soon Prince Yi Zhong and everyone went south, and Shui Rong also took these contact clues south. The White Lotus Sect also has a branch in Nanzhili, so Shui Rong still contacted them after Nanjing.
It’s just that the White Lotus Sect is not stupid. When they realized that the Nanjing puppet government just wanted to use them to disrupt the situation in the North, they also used various reasons to delay. Instead, they asked Nanjing for various monetary supplies and requested Nanjing. Provide connections at the government level to help them break into local government and strengthen their own strength.
From this point of view, Nanjing was neither satisfied nor able to do so, so the two sides kept dragging it out.
Until the imperial court began to negotiate with Nanjing, Prince Yi Zhong demanded that the connection with the White Lotus Sect be cut off immediately, and Shuirong's mission came to an end.
"So, Nanjing used to have contact with the White Lotus Sect, but it was discontinued later. But does Brother Shui Rong mainly know about the White Lotus Sect in the north or the south?"
Feng Ziying was a little disappointed. Shui Rong's abilities were limited, and he could not be considered a high-minded person but a low-handed person. He basically had no contact with practical matters. How could the White Lotus Sect's people be so cunning, how could they easily leave clues to Shui Rong?
"I don't know much about the White Lotus Sect here in Nanzhili. I just accidentally knew that they should have some development in Xuzhou. The leader should be named Xu Hongru, who started a Wenxiang Sect that fooled the stupid men and women in the countryside. It is said that even many squires flocked to it and donated money and wealth..."
Feng Ziying heard Xu Hong
The name of Confucianism also shocked the whole body.
Of course he had heard of this name. In his previous life, he was the leader of the White Lotus Sect uprising at the end of the Ming Dynasty. He made such a big splash in Shandong, but he didn't expect that he would actually spread the word in Xuzhou.
But considering that Xuzhou is close to Shandong, it was said that the White Lotus Sect from Lunan was involved in the Linqing Civil War. It seemed that it was probably related to Xu Hongru.
But how could Shui Xiong know about such a confidential matter?
Even if the White Lotus Sect didn't do a good enough job in keeping secrets, Feng Ziying still couldn't believe that Shui Rong, a character with whom he had basically only had superficial contact, knew about it.
"Brother Shui Rong, where did you hear about this Xu Hongru?" Feng Ziying couldn't help it. He wanted to understand the source of this information.
"It was accidentally mentioned by people from the White Lotus Sect in the north, saying that there are people from them in Xuzhou and even further south. In their boastful talk, they accidentally mentioned how they are and how many famous squires are their people, so they mentioned this Xu Hongru,..."
Shui Rong was quite proud to see Feng Ziying attach so much importance to her.
Feng Ziying found it even more unbelievable that Ruosi, a member of the White Lotus Sect, could easily leak the secrets of the sect to someone like Shui Rong, who was not even an ally?
He did not believe that the person who could be sent to Nanjing to contact him must be a smart and capable person selected over and over again from the White Lotus Sect. How could he make such a cheap mistake, unless he intentionally leaked it.
