Zhen Yingjia was stunned for a moment, but then she didn't refute.
He even nodded and said:
"In a state of heat and coolness, wealth is more important than poverty."
After sighing with emotion, he sighed:
"I never expected that even if no one paid attention to me after I came to Beijing, the first one to visit me would be Captain Feng!"
When the Zhen family wanted to be rich, their relatives and friends were all over the Wei Dynasty.
But these friendships disappeared in an instant when the Zhen family was confiscated.
Except for Feng Yuan, his enemy, no old relative came to visit him.
Feeling the desolation in his words, Feng Yibo couldn't feel the slightest pity.
However, he still smiled and said:
"It's not that no one cares about the Zhen family. At least the prince of the Jia Mansion of Rongguo begged for the Zhen family's favor at the court meeting. The virtuous concubine of Fengzao Palace also ran for you in the palace and was imprisoned for it. Cold palace."
Not many people know about Concubine Xiande's imprisonment in the cold palace.
Only a few people with connections in the palace can know the inside story.
But Yuanchun's biological mother, Mrs. Wang, had to go to the palace every month.
Naturally, he knows a lot about this matter.
The mother and daughter of the Xue family often visited Rong Mansion, so Mrs. Wang could not help but complain to her sister.
Mother and daughter would not talk nonsense to outsiders, but Baochai certainly would not hide it from Feng Yibo.
Zhen Yingjia heard people from the Jia family begging for mercy for him, and even Concubine Xiande was implicated by the Zhen family.
He was stunned at first, then smiled happily and said:
"It seems that the old concubine did not misjudge the person. The Jia family is indeed worth entrusting!"
The word "ye" is very thought-provoking.
It's a pity that no one present heard the deeper meaning.
Before the Zhen family ransacked their home, Zhen Yingjia had already been aware of it.
To be precise, it was when the old concubine passed away.
He was prepared and quietly transferred part of his property.
One of them is the Rongguo Jia Mansion.
Now that she heard Jia Zheng pleading for the Zhen family at the court meeting, Zhen Yingjia was naturally relieved that she had trusted the right person.
However, the cunning rabbit has three holes.
No matter how trustworthy the Jia family is, he will not put all his eggs in one basket.
In addition to Jia's family, several old relatives also helped hide part of it.
Even now the Zhen family has been ransacked.
But as long as you keep one share, it will be enough for the women and children in your family to live a decent life.
After hearing that the Jia family was running for him, Zhen Yingjia knew that this property should be saved.
Feng Yibo naturally didn't know about this, he just thought he was a little optimistic about the Zhen family's affairs.
He immediately poured out a basin of cold water with a sneer and said:
"It's a pity that doing this is of no use except embarrassing them. The Zhen family has sinned so much that no matter who pleads for mercy, they can't save your lives!"
Seeing that the smile on Zhen Yingjia's face slowly faded, Feng Yibo smiled with satisfaction and asked again:
"Master Zhen, don't you want to ask me why I'm here?"
As long as the Zhen family still has a glimmer of hope, Zhen Yingjia doesn't want to let it go.
Hearing that the Jia family's plea was ineffective, he was frowning in thought.
Hearing Feng Yibo's question again, Zhen Yingjia sneered:
"Captain Feng colluded with the Prince of Donghai County to put the Zhen family to death. He came here just because he thought he had a plan and wanted to see my joke."
During the interrogation process, he already knew that he was guilty of more crimes and was sentenced to life imprisonment.
The reason why this happened was precisely because at the critical moment, he was plotted by Prince Donghai and Feng Yibo.
This also confirmed his previous suspicion and confirmed that the Zhen family fleet was robbed by Donghai County.
Otherwise, the disappeared Zhen family members would not appear out of thin air as witnesses.
It was obvious that the other party had been planning for many years to save the lives of those people.
At this moment, he gave the Zhen family a fatal blow.
"Pity!"
Feng Yibo shook his head slightly, then chuckled and said:
"I thought Master Zhen would kneel down and beg me to let me go when he saw me, but now it seems that Master Zhen hasn't figured out the situation yet."
When he came here this time, he originally wanted to discuss with Yang Mingxin about killing Zhen Yingjia.
But he didn't say it at the last minute.
So he made an excuse and said he wanted to come over to see Zhen Yingjia.
You just act according to circumstances, how can you have no plan?
He just asked Zhen Yingjia if she knew why he came.
In fact, I am just making excuses for myself to come here.
Now, Zhen Yingjia felt that she was here to laugh at him.
Naturally, Feng Yibo wouldn't mind actually laughing at him.
After all, it’s not a wasted trip.
"As the saying goes: Don't be at odds with villains. Villains have their own enemies. Don't flatter a gentleman. A gentleman has no selfish favors."
When Zhen Yingjia talks, she always likes to throw out a bunch of truths under the clouds.
This makes people feel inscrutable.
Even though he was already in prison at this time, this problem did not change.
At this point, he looked at Feng Yibo and said with a smile:
"Whether you are an enemy or a gentleman, what difference does it make?"
Obviously, the enemy wants to kill him, but the gentleman will not accept his plea for mercy.
For Zhen Yingjia, whether Feng Yibo is an enemy or a gentleman, the result is the same.
Then what's the point of begging Feng Yibo?
"Speaking of it, we are indeed enemies. Compared to Master Zhen, I can barely be regarded as a gentleman."
When Feng Yibo heard this, he nodded first.
He seemed to agree with Zhen Yingjia's words.
But then, he said sarcastically:
"I didn't expect that Master Zhen is somewhat self-aware and knows that what he did is the behavior of a villain."
He is the enemy, so Zhen Yingjia is naturally the villain.
Hearing such sarcasm, Zhen Yingjia did not refute.
"If a fly sticks to you, you will be successful if you are quick, and it is hard to avoid the shame of being left behind. If you stick to the pine tree, you will be taller if you are taller. It will be a shame to climb up."
He still shook his head and talked about a lot of truth, and then said with regret:
"If I didn't do this, I'm afraid the Zhen family wouldn't be able to survive now, and their family would have been confiscated and exterminated."
Feng Yibo saw that although he was righteous and confident, he was somewhat remorseful, so he nodded and said:
"It's rare that Lord Zhen still knows the word 'shame'!"
He thought Zhen Yingjia meant that he was forced to have no choice but to do so.
But I also felt ashamed of my behavior.
Unexpectedly, Zhen Yingjia shook her head when she heard this, and came up with some truth:
"When I ask about the virtues of my ancestors and what I enjoy in my body, I should think about the difficulty of accumulating them."
“When you ask about the well-being of your descendants and what I have done to you, you have to think about how easy it is to overthrow.”
It's like if he didn't, he wouldn't be able to speak.
After some emotion, Zhen Yingjia sighed again:
"There are many things that I can only choose to face and have no other choice."
With Feng Yibo's talent as a prodigy, even listening to Zhen Yingjia's words felt humiliating.
It always makes people feel like they are covered in clouds and fog.
Fortunately, now that these words came out, Feng Yibo finally understood them.
Dare to love flies and taro, it is not Zhen Yingjia's self-comparison.
But he is talking about the ancestors of the Zhen family!
In other words, Zhen Yingjia is saying that his ancestors have no shame.
It was because his ancestors had such a choice that he, the younger generation, had no choice.
This led to the current "overthrow" of the Zhen family.
When Feng Yibo heard this, he immediately laughed at Zhen Yingjia's shamelessness.
He and Yang Mingxin looked at each other, then looked at Zhen Yingjia, and asked with a smile:
"You said it was all the fault of the ancestors. How about colluding with Japanese pirates, if you don't mention the salt and profit issue?"
The matter of salt and profit is a hole left by the ancestors of the Zhen family.
But regarding the Japanese pirates, it was only after Zhen Yingjia became the head of the family that she colluded with them.
Let the Japanese plague intensify in Jiangnan.
Hearing that Zhen Yingjia blamed his ancestors for everything, Feng Yibo was naturally furious.
"Is it not your choice to poison Jiangnan and cause countless people to suffer, but is it the fault of your ancestors?"
These words made Zhen Yingjia silent for a moment.
"Master Zhen is a very transparent person, but unfortunately he made a mistake."
Seeing that he didn't speak, Feng Yibo sighed, shook his head and said:
"To be honest, if you hadn't colluded with the Japanese pirates, the Zhen family would still have some hope of survival."
At this point, he paused slightly and looked at Zhen Yingjia coldly.
Seeing that he hesitated to speak but still did not refute, he said again:
"But from the moment you colluded with the Japanese pirates and poisoned Jiangnan, the fate of the Zhen family was already doomed."
At this time, Zhen Yingjia frowned slightly and said with some surprise:
"I never thought Captain Feng was doing it for the people of Jiangnan. I thought you were doing it for Lin Ruhai!"
Zhen Yingjia guessed that the other party already knew about the poisoning of the Lin family.
Otherwise, the father-in-law and his wife would not be like this, staring at the Zhen family.
But now from Feng Yibo's tone, it seemed that his collusion with Japanese pirates made him even more angry.
This left Zhen Yingjia a little confused.
Is it because he has defeated Japanese pirates that he hates himself?
It shouldn’t be!
Is there really a gentleman in this world who cares about his country and his people?
Zhen Yingjia has had the ideal of being a gentleman since she was a child.
It is also because of this that he develops a reputation for benevolence and righteousness.
It's just a pity that there is always a gap between ideal and reality.
The moment he took over as the head of the Zhen family, he was no longer a gentleman.
Unless he is willing to abandon his family.
Or, use the family sacrifice as a stepping stone on his road to becoming a gentleman.
It's a pity that this is deviant in a clan society where relatives are secluded from each other.
The killing of relatives for righteousness only exists in opera and history.
In such an environment, it just doesn't work.
If you really do that, you will only be treated as a fool.
"Both."
Feng Yibo didn't know what he was feeling.
Now that things have happened, he doesn't have to deny anything.
At that moment, he nodded.
Da Fang admitted that the Lin family was involved in the opposition to the Zhen family.
Later he added:
"There is hatred between the country and the family, but no matter who we are for, we all represent justice, while you and the Zhen family are full of sin."
Speaking of this, Feng Yibo mocked again:
"If I were you, I wouldn't be able to eat or sleep on death row."
He wanted to use words to stimulate Zhen Yingjia.
Unexpectedly, Zhen Yingjia did not accept this trick at all.
"Being a man is just blindly honest, and the traces are hidden but still visible. If the motive is not clear at all, the things are both public and private."
This remark was obviously a satire on Feng Yibo. He said he was doing it for the people of Jiangnan, but in fact he was seeking personal revenge.
"Captain Feng, there's no need to be sarcastic. You and I are just half as good as each other."
Zhen Yingjia smiled and said proudly:
"However, since arriving in Duzhong, I have completely given up. Now I am well fed and sleeping soundly, and I am a hundred times more relaxed than when I was in Jinling."
Obviously, he didn't take Feng Yibo's sarcasm to heart.
Not only did he mock Feng Yibo in turn, he also felt at peace with his current situation.
"It's strange that Master Daozhen would collude with the Japanese pirates. He turns out to be such a shameless person."
When Feng Yibo heard this, he snorted coldly and continued to mock:
"If I were you, I would probably hang myself with a rope long ago. How could I wait until now?"
He came here on a temporary basis, but now he wanted to try it on the spur of the moment.
See if it can stimulate Zhen Yingjia.
After all, the two of them didn't have much contact. If he had a stronger self-esteem, he might commit suicide in prison.
That would save yourself the trouble.
Unexpectedly, the more he said this, the brighter Zhen Yingjia's smile became.
"Originally, I really had some such thoughts, but now after listening to Captain Feng's words, I feel that I can't die."
Zhen Yingjia didn't say anything big this time, but the joy on her face was obviously unbearable.
He resisted the corners of his mouth from turning up, and his expression was inevitably a little weird for a moment:
"If I'm not wrong, the matter with the Zhen family may still happen again. Captain Feng is here, does he want me to commit suicide?"
Feng Yibo was shocked, but his face showed no trace of it.
"Suicide? Isn't that advantageous, Master Zhen?"
Naturally, he would not admit it, and pretended not to care, and said:
"After the autumn trial next year, Lord Zhen will be escorted to Caishikou and beheaded."
Having said this, he smiled sinisterly and said:
"There is less than a year left. Master Zhen can live with his fingers."
Not only did his temptation have no effect, it also allowed the old guy to sniff out some information.
Feng Yibo could only leave one sentence, hoping it would have some impact on him.
After saying that, he turned around and left.
"Thank you Captain Feng for visiting me and letting me know that there is still hope for life."
Seeing that Feng Yibo was about to leave, Zhen Yingjia swayed the heavy shackle behind her, as if she was handing over his hand.
"Master Zhen, just be open-minded. I hope to see you so optimistic again in a few days."
Feng Yibo paused, then said something with a smile, then turned and left.
The jailer quickly led the way, and Yang Mingxin also quickly followed.
At this time, Zhen Yingjia shouted to his back again:
"Don't worry Captain Feng, I will definitely count carefully and won't give up easily."
This old fox!
Zhen Yingjia guessed that things might happen again.
It made Feng Yibo feel a little irritable.
After hearing Zhen Yingjia's words, he did not look back.
Because he didn't want to reveal any more information to Zhen Yingjia.
This is when people in the officialdom have conflicts, even if it comes to the point of life and death.
There is a reason to be harmonious on the surface.
Never hold back when it's time to argue, and show off your stupidity at court meetings.
Or, someone can be a scheming person behind his back.
It's not a big problem.
But if you talk about it, you must be serious about the situation and not the person.
But usually, it's time for both sides to compete in internal strength.
If you can't suppress your anger in person, you can't calm down.
If you look at it in a small way, it means there is no city government, but in a big way, it means that it has no structure.
If it spreads out, it will only make people look down on it.
You will also be caught by the other party because of your anger.
Either the information is obtained, or the situation is taken advantage of.
He may even be carried away by anger and do something irrational.
Feng Yibo's probing just now made Zhen Yingjia smell the vitality.
Now, this old fox just wants to provoke his anger.
Good opportunity to get more information.
After Feng Yibo figured this out, how could he still make Zhen Yingjia happy?
Today, Zhen Yingjia taught him a lesson.
In the future, we must never fight an unprepared battle against such an old fox.
You must be prepared!
After coming out of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, Feng Yibo did not follow Yang Mingxin into the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment.
The two parted at the entrance of the criminal department and met at the Zhuangyuan Building when they were taking a break.
Feng Yibo turned around and got on the carriage and continued to think in the car.
He was thinking about what would happen next and what arrangements he should make.
Yang Mingxin definitely can't be found, so we have to start elsewhere.
While he was deep in thought, the carriage had already left the Criminal Department.
At least two turns were made.
But obviously, there is still a long way to go from Feng Mansion.
But at this moment, the carriage stopped without warning.
I heard his long-term follower Daping shout loudly:
"Who are you? How dare you block my master's way?"
