Wang Shaojian was unconscious for a while and then woke up. Seeing his wife beside him, he was so frightened that he started to cry. He pointed at Xiang Ji who was looking anxious and said sternly: "Ride your horse quickly to Xiaoling and call He Laojiu back!"
Xiang Ji agreed and turned around to run away, then turned back and said, "The official still needs to give me a note, otherwise I won't be able to enter the palace guard."
Wang Shaojian jumped up, quickly wrote a note and stamped it with his personal seal. He ordered: "Take two more people and ride on horseback. If He Jiu has offended Eunuch Feng, break his legs on the spot! If Eunuch Feng still won't let him go, you can kill him!"
He raised his head and looked at the sky, then sighed and said, "Just do your best to obey fate! Go quickly!"
Xiang Ji already understood what Young Inspector Wang meant at this time, and knew that Young Inspector Feng Bao couldn't afford to offend him, so he quickly ran out.
Here, Prince Quan Zan was like an ant on a hot pot, just circling in the front hall of his house. Every tea time, I walked to the concierge and watched.
As the sun was about to set and the city gate was about to close, I was anxious. The butler who was watching at the door came in and reported: "My lord, go take a look, there are many officers and soldiers here!"
Wang Shaojian was startled and hurried out. I saw dozens of Jinyi soldiers waiting at the door holding some humanoid objects. When he saw Wang Shaojian going out, he threw these things at the door. With a few thumps, some dust was stirred up. The leader of the hundred families bowed his hands and saluted: "Eunuch Feng, please pay homage to Young Supervisor Wang and send these people here for you!" After saying that, he sneered and turned to leave.
The guard next to him shouted in surprise: "He Jiu! Zhao Yu'er!"
Although Wang Shaojian was prepared, his heart was still twisted into a ball, and he didn't even look at the groaning people on the ground. After catching up for two steps, he took out a large ingot of silver from his sleeve, worth twenty ounces, and put it in the hands of the hundred households. Said: "Please stay!"
The hundred households shook their hands and said with a smile on their faces: "What is Mr. Wang doing for you?"
Wang Shaojian turned to the housekeeper and said: "Go back to the house quickly and bring out one hundred taels of silver. Please invite this person——"
The hundred households raised their hands and said, "A certain family's surname is Yu."
Wang Shaojian took over and said: "Please ask Yu Baihu to buy a glass of water for the brothers."
...
Wang Shaojian was chatting on the street. He knew that He Jiu had brought people to the shrine to find Feng Bao's bad luck. He happened to run into Sun Ju from a thousand households in Jinyi who came to visit Feng Bao. He Jiu and others were beaten violently, and they all recruited Xiang Ji, Wang Shaojian's brother-in-law.
Wang Quanzan saw off the Jinyi soldiers and quickly returned to his house, where he saw that the lights had been hung up in the Shaojian's house. He Jiu and others at the door were moved to the courtyard by servants. The housekeeper came forward and said, "They are all alive, but their limbs and limbs are all broken, making them a disabled person."
Seeing that Mr. Wang had no reaction, the housekeeper swallowed and said in a low voice: "Sir, several of He Jiu's ribs are broken, his ears and nose are cut off, his mouth is open, and his tongue is shortened. I'm afraid he may not survive. .”
Wang Shaojian still listened blankly and didn't react much.
Madam Xiang came forward and said, "Master, would you like to serve some food?"
When Wang Shaojian saw his wife, his eyes rolled and he became popular. He turned around and said, "Are you coming back to Lao Er?"
Just as he was asking, Xiang Ji pushed open the door and came in. His cheeks were red and swollen, his face was completely bruised, and his mouth was full of blood. Cried: "Half man... the cat is flying here to mess with..."
Seeing that he could still walk upright, Wang Shaojian breathed a sigh of relief and ignored him. He took the lady's hand and went straight into the inner house.
After entering the inner house, the couple suppressed their blushes before moving the carved wooden bed half a foot away. Wang Shaojian took out a knife, gently pried up the floor tile that the bed leg was pressing on, then pried up a piece, and finally lifted a wooden box out of the hole.
When he opened the wooden box, he found a box of gold cakes. Wang Shaojian took out two pieces and gave them to Mrs. Xiang. Said: "Tomorrow, you take our son and go to your mother's house in the countryside to stay for a few days." Mrs. Xiang's face turned pale with fright and she couldn't stop crying.
Young Inspector Wang said: "What's the point of crying? The only solution now is to go all out and beg Eunuch Li. Letting you go to your mother's house is just a precaution."
After a pause, he said again: "Although Xiao'er is not of our family's blood, he has entered the genealogy and recognized his true relatives. If I have any shortcomings, I will make arrangements for your future expenses. Your mother will not be hungry by then. both."
After saying that, he opened a large blue cotton furoshiki, took out the gold cakes piece by piece from the box, and placed them in the furoshiki. While taking it and touching it, the tears rolled down like broken beads.
Finally, he sighed and said: "Eunuch Li has given a hint today that this filial piety can only be given to him. It's a pity that all the savings I have accumulated in half my life have been lost in one day!"
...
Two days later, Li Xiuqing and Feng Bao were sitting opposite each other drinking tea in the back hall of the Xiaoling Shrine Guards.
Feng Bao was dressed in the clothes of an ordinary eunuch, without any decoration on his body. He took off the yellow hat and placed it on the table. The bun on his head actually had a wooden hairpin inserted into it, revealing his half-black and half-white hair.
The once round face has become thinner, and the chin is sharp. But his eyes were like deep pools of water. Eunuch Li took one look at them and felt cold in his heart.
Li Xiuqing's body was shaking and she was very afraid of the heat. He untied his python robe halfway and fanned himself with a big fan. He took a sip of the iced tea soup and said with a smile: "This time Wang Quanzan vomited out all the money he had accumulated in his eunuch's purse. Does Mr. Shuanglin have any arrangements? If there is no arrangement, our family will make the decision for Mr. Shuanglin..."
Feng Bao interrupted: "No need. Your Majesty has arranged for me to do a few things. Our family is short of money. Unexpectedly, Young Inspector Wang came to our door. In this way, what needs to be done has been settled. There is no need to fight." The autumn wind of the beautiful monkey." The once high-pitched voice became hoarse and deep, and there was an obvious difference in her voice.
Li Xiuqing showed a worried look and whispered: "Shuang Lin Gong, this throat disease has not improved yet, can you call an imperial doctor to take a look?"
Feng Bao chuckled and said: "But it has nothing to do with the throat disease. It was our family's throat that became hoarse from crying. Over the past few days, our family has thought about it repeatedly, but we still couldn't figure out where the failure was. Until Xin Ru escaped with his life. Only in the future will our family find out who the mastermind behind the extermination of our family's home was!"
He raised his head to look at Li Xiuqing, his eyes were burning, and he whispered: "I wonder if Xiuqing still remembers the poisonous oath that Xiuqing swore to a certain family that day in the Ceremony Supervisor?"
Li Xiuqing smiled confidently: "In our family's hearts, my father-in-law will always be the ancestor of our eunuchs! Zhang Hong, what is that!" After speaking, he looked directly at Feng Bao with clear eyes.
Feng Bao showed a smile on his thin face, stretched out his hand, and the two shook hands gently.
Li Xiuqing then asked, I wonder what the emperor asked Mr. Shuang Lin to do? Is there anything Xiuqing can do?
Feng Bao held out three fingers and said, "I can't help but worry Xiu Qing. Your Majesty asked me to do three things. One is to open an imperial store, the other is to check the information in the Southeast, and the third is to control the public opinion in the Southeast!"
After saying that, he took out an envelope from his pocket, took out a pile of letter paper, turned out a piece of paper and pointed it to Li Xiuqing.
When Li Xiuqing read it, he saw that it was actually the emperor's own handwriting. In a few strokes, he ordered Feng Bao to act secretly in Jiangnan, and Chen Ju would send a message to Chen Ju to determine the specific matters. The emperor still called Feng Bao his "great companion" in his letter!
