Chang Feng took the driving sticker, and with Fatty Xu, led three hundred captains and warriors, and headed straight for Wanfu.
The three Wan brothers have a very good relationship. When they became powerful, they never separated their families and shared the same mansion.
Chang Feng rode majestically on his horse. He turned to Fatty Xu and said, "Although the three members of the Wan family have all been dismissed from their official positions, they are still the uncles of the country."
"They are under house arrest. There is no imperial edict from the emperor, only the driving notice issued by the governor of Beizhen. It doesn't seem appropriate."
Fatty Xu said: "What's wrong? The Wan family is now beating the drums with thousands of people."
"You don't know, don't you? The nobles in the capital jointly signed a letter, asking the emperor to remove the posthumous title of Concubine Wan Gui. My father also signed his name."
"There were also a bunch of people in the area following and making fun of the people setting up rice seedlings."
"Every small county magistrate in Yutai County handed over a handbook to the General Affairs Department, requesting the emperor to arrest the medical officers who diagnosed Queen Mother Ji back then."
"There is also the imperial censor Cao Lin. He led a group of officials from the Six Sections to go up and ask the emperor to arrest the Wan family members and investigate the cause of the death of Empress Dowager Ji."
"Hey, now everyone knows that the three brothers of the Wan family are venting anger on the emperor. They are all here to catch up!"
Chang Feng thought about it and it was right. When the wall falls, everyone pushes it. No matter if he has an imperial edict or not. There's nothing wrong with venting your anger on the emperor's behalf.
Among all the mansions.
Before Xianzong's death, Wantong asked Wanxi and Wanda to flee. He was caught by the Tanggu guard general.
At this time, the three brothers of the Wan family were studying a major matter - not how to rebel, but how to commit suicide.
Wantong wrote several methods on the paper: "draw a sword and kill yourself", "take poison", "swallow gold", "hang yourself" and "throw yourself into a well".
Good and evil will be rewarded in the end. How arrogant and domineering they were back then, they are now in such embarrassment.
Wanda trembled: "Brother, has it really come to this?"
Wantong smiled bitterly: "Fourth brother, the things we did before were enough to kill us ten times."
"Rather than letting someone take Ling Chi away, it's better to give yourself a break."
Wanxi is more courageous. Otherwise, he wouldn't have done anything to capture the crown prince's candidate for boiling pills.
Wanxi looked proud: "If the bowl falls off, there will be a big scar on my head! If you live for a hundred years, you will die, and if you live for several decades, you will die. I'm afraid!"
He looks very brave. In fact, I was so nervous that I said "my head is so big and I have a big scar".
The three brothers knew that they were bound to die, so they had to sink their minds and study a way to commit suicide.
Wanda said: "Just draw your sword and kill yourself. I'm afraid of pain."
Wan Tongdao: "Then swallow gold and commit suicide."
Wanxi shook his head: "No! You can't kill anyone by swallowing gold. The year before last, we arrested the disobedient doctor Gao Xiang."
"I thought Gao Xiang's wife looked really good...so I brought her into the house to play with her for three nights."
"When Gao Xiang heard about this, he swallowed the gold ring on his hand and committed suicide. He pulled it out completely after the incident."
Wan Daotong: "That's because Gao Xiang didn't know that people can't be killed by swallowing cooked gold. Only by swallowing raw gold, oh, that is, dog-headed gold can kill people."
“Didn’t the Laizhou Mine Supervisor give our family a few nuggets of gold five years ago?”
"If you break it and swallow it, you will die."
Wanda smiled bitterly: "Those pieces of nugget gold, I was happy when I was visiting the North Tower, so I gave them to a few Yangzhou goblins."
Wantong said angrily: "If you fail to succeed, you will fail! Then hang yourself."
Wanxi said: "In the past twenty years, we have forced as many as eighty officials to hang themselves. All of them have their tongues hanging out."
"It is said that if a ghost is hanged with a long tongue, he will be punished as an animal in the next life. I don't want to be a pig or a donkey in the next life..."
The three brothers are studying how to die. Suddenly, a servant called out: "Sir, it's not good. People from the Imperial Guard have surrounded our mansion."
"A Qianhu has entered the house. It's in the living room."
Wantong was stunned: "Could it be that the decree to execute us has been issued?"
The three brothers came to the living room.
Wantong saw that the people coming were Chang Feng and Fatty Xu.
Wantong was so arrogant back then, but now it is so humble.
Wantong raised his hand: "Ah, congratulations to Chang Qianhu on your promotion. When I was a commander before, I thought you were talented. I wanted to promote you."
"Who would have thought that I would lose my official position before the promotion order could be issued."
Xu Guangzuo said from the side: "Wantong, don't take off your pants and fart here!"
"Have you forgotten the time when you wanted to cut our two brothers into pieces? We two brothers were forced to have no choice but to run to Qufu, a thousand miles away to avoid disaster!"
Chang Feng raised his hand and interrupted Xu Guangzuo.
Chang Feng said: "Wantong, Wanxi, Wanda. Commander Zhu has ordered you Jun to put the three of you under house arrest in the mansion. They are under strict supervision and are not allowed to go out."
"This is a driving sticker issued by Sun Zhenfu. Do you want to take a look?"
Wantong was stunned: "Isn't it an imperial edict?"
Fatty Xu was making noises from the side: "Why do we need an imperial edict to control the three of you? The driving post from Fusi in Beizhen is enough."
Wantong said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes. There is no need to read the driving sticker. We three brothers must be honest and think about our mistakes behind closed doors."
Chang Feng and Fatty Xu walked out of the gate of Wan Mansion. Zhu Ji's order to them was to guard Wanfu. They didn't leave.
Shi Wenyi set a table for the two of them at the door. Tea, melon seeds, dried fruits, and iced watermelon were placed on the table.
Chang Feng and Fatty Xu sat on chairs with their legs crossed, eating melon seeds, drinking tea, and eating watermelon. They felt very comfortable.
Fatty Xu asked: "Looking at the time, Eunuch Huaien and Tangtang will return to Beijing soon."
Two months ago, Fatty Xu went to Jinling to send a message to Huai En to return to Beijing. Fatty Xu is going and coming back quickly. Wynn took a boat.
It's the rainy season, and the Huitong River has swelled, washing away a lot of rocks and silt and blocking the river channel. As a result, Wynn delayed his trip.
Chang Feng said: "Liu Jin said ten days ago that Eunuch Huai'en's ship had arrived in Dezhou. It's almost time to disembark in Tongzhou and return to Beijing in the next two days."
"Tangtang has been in Nanjing for almost a year. I miss her so much."
At this moment, Shi Wenyi got a box of pastries from somewhere and put it on the table.
Shi Wenyi smiled and said: "Two Shangguan, there is still more than half an hour before dinner. Let's eat some Baoruizhai's Taishi cake first to satisfy our hunger."
In the yamen of all dynasties, people like Shi Wenyi are always inseparable.
They serve the superior officials obediently and obediently in all matters. When placing a tea cup on several tables, you need to use a heel to measure it to see if it is in a straight line.
How capable are they to handle serious matters? No.
But the yamen needs people like this. The superior yamen come down to inspect, and the same level yamen assist in handling errands. We all need this kind of people to provide reception.
To put it bluntly, Shi Wenyi relied on his ability to serve Shangguan and was promoted all the way. In the early years of Zhengde, he became the commander of the Jinyi Guards.
Chang Feng said: "Wen Yi, we are all brothers. You don't have to be like this."
"Your brother was instrumental in stabilizing the capital camp when the earth collapsed. He was just promoted to Commander-in-Chief of the Right Army. Now he is a serious commander-in-chief of the army."
"The commander's own brothers are always so respectful to us. We are all embarrassed."
Shi Wenyi said: "One code equals another code. I am respectful to you, not because your official is older than me."
"If you hadn't saved my life when I was in Cai Mansion, I would have been punished by the family law!"
Chang Feng said: "It's just a little effort. Don't keep talking about it."
"Oh, that's right. The commander said that you can make your own decisions on appointments and dismissals for those under 100 households who have been tested for 1,000 households."
"You used to be a school lieutenant. Just move up two levels and become a captain."
Shi Wenyi looked delighted: "Thank you Qianhu for the promotion!"
At this moment, Xiao Jing's confidant eunuch Zhang Yong rode a fast horse to the door of the mansion.
Zhang Yong got off his horse and said to Chang Feng: "Chang Qianhu, you are so easy for me to find! The emperor has an order for you to go to Qianqing Palace as soon as possible!"
Chang Feng was overjoyed! It seems that the emperor has not forgotten me! There must be some serious errand for me to do!
