The prison warden of the Ministry of Punishment only learned the specific news the next day.
I was suddenly frightened into a cold sweat.
In addition to calling the cell leader and Yang Shiba, they scolded them.
He had no other choice.
In the end, we can only report according to the process and wait for the handling opinions from above.
Fortunately, it was just a false alarm.
At the end of the year, when everyone is busy.
Zhen Yingjia's death did not cause any disturbance.
Even Emperor Jingshun saw the news, but he only sighed and ordered:
"Let the Dragon Scale Guards make arrangements after the new year, escort the main line of the Zhen family to the capital, and give them some land and houses for resettlement."
Change the source app and view the latest chapters of this book on multiple sites at the same time. 】
After saying that, he put this matter aside and continued to read other memorials.
Feng Yibo had already received a message from Prince Zhongshun.
He also told Lin Ruhai the news.
There was another small celebration in the Lin Mansion.
Under the pretext of giving a New Year's gift, Feng Yibo approached Xiao Chunzi and asked him to help make an appointment with Xia Bingzhong.
Prepare to handle Sun Shaozu's matter before the year.
Since he can accept the support from the fifth rank, there is no need for Feng Yibo to waste the upstart's favor.
It was just a good time to test Xia Bingzhong's attitude again.
As for what Sun Shaozu said. The words "the horse leads the way".
Just listen.
The two of them had only met once, and they had no interest in each other.
Where is it so easy to conquer?
Soon after, Xia Bingzhong sent someone to deliver the message.
The two met at Xia Bingzhong's private residence, where Feng Yibo always sent things.
"Eunuch Xia, farewell and well!"
As soon as they met, Feng Yibo smiled and handed over his hand.
"Captain Feng's style remains the same!"
Xia Bingzhong was waiting in the hall and did not welcome him.
Seeing him coming, he stood up slowly and responded, and said with a smile:
"I wonder what Captain Feng has to explain to us this time?"
Because of what happened before, Xia Bingzhong felt somewhat uncomfortable.
But he couldn't bear the constant filial piety from the Feng family.
Normally he would give gifts here when there was nothing wrong, but this time he would not neglect it if something happened.
So when he heard that Feng Yibo was looking for him, he came immediately.
But after meeting Feng Yibo, he didn't want to appear too enthusiastic.
Fortunately, seeing him like this, Feng Yibo had a rough guess.
I know this is expressing dissatisfaction with what happened before.
Therefore, he was not angry when he heard this and replied with a smile:
"Eunuch Xia is busy with things, so I won't go around in circles."
Saying this, he went in by himself without waiting for Xia Bingzhong to give way.
He sat down casually at the starting point and said directly:
"Someone came to me one after another, wanting to make up for a real vacancy in the army. When such a good thing happened, I immediately thought of Eunuch Xia."
When I heard it, I was not asking him to do something, but business came to my door.
Xia Bingzhong immediately put aside his grudge.
He also turned around and sat opposite Feng Yibo.
He took the name card the other party took out, glanced at it, and asked:
"How much can he pay?"
The other party is a conductor, which is not easy to arrange.
In the capital camp, there are many officials above fifth rank.
If the other party couldn't pay enough, even he wouldn't be able to do it.
When Feng Yibo saw him accepting the move, he smiled and said:
"The other party offered me five thousand taels. I didn't keep any penny. I gave it all to Eunuch Xia."
He was actually trying to show his favor to Xia Bingzhong.
But such an attitude made Xia Bingzhong stunned for a moment.
"Oh? This is not easy to handle."
He frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said:
"After all, he is a hereditary commander. How about we take four thousand taels and give him a thousand households in the capital?"
Qianhu in the Beijing Camp is a fifth-grade official, and he is still in short supply of being able to lead troops.
Moreover, this is different from the general health center with thousands of households.
There are thousands of households in the capital camp, let alone four or two.
Even if you take all five thousand taels, you won't get it without selling it to save face.
Obviously, he was giving Feng Yibo face.
In Xia Shouzhong's view, the other party's refusal to take any money was a sign that he should show his respect as well.
When Feng Yibo heard this, he waved his hands repeatedly and said:
"No, no, no, no! Five thousand taels, just to appease me."
He took over the matter casually, not looking for money or Sun Shaozu.
But there is no need for such a favor.
Xia Bing frowned when he heard this and said with some confusion:
"This guy named Sun seems to have a close relationship with Captain Feng?"
Feng Yibo already understood what he meant. Hearing this, he quickly distanced himself from the relationship and said:
"I have nothing to do with this person, but don't look at my face, and I don't want to make money from him."
Xia Bingzhong suddenly understood, nodded, and said in a deep voice:
"Since it has nothing to do with Captain Feng, the real shortage in the Beijing camp will not be that easy."
This is true.
If there is not someone with enough weight, they will support you behind your back.
With just five thousand taels of silver, you want to be an official in the capital?
When Feng Yibo saw him picking up Qiao again, he was immediately dissatisfied and said:
"Eunuch Xia might as well say it bluntly, how can these five thousand taels fill the gap?"
If it weren't for welcoming the spring, he wouldn't bother to take care of it.
Sun Shaozu only provided five thousand taels in total. It depends on his fortune to make up for the shortfall.
Seeing that Xia Bingzhong was still hesitant, Feng Yibo said indifferently:
"Even if it doesn't work, it's okay for Eunuch Xia to just say it. In the worst case, I'll ask the Ministry of War or the upstarts."
"Think about it, five thousand taels of silver plus a second official from the left is enough, right?"
Xia Bingzhong was originally thinking about how to arrange it so that he could have more leftovers.
At this time, after hearing Feng Yibo's words, he was suddenly a little surprised and said:
"Captain Feng is very popular, isn't he?"
He knew that Feng Yibo was not short of money, so he would not argue in front of him for this little money.
Moreover, since he dared to say this, he was obviously somewhat confident.
Otherwise, if he really refuses, and he wants to go back, it won't be that easy without some blood.
Hearing the surprise in Xia Bingzhong's words, Feng Yibo raised his eyelids and chuckled:
"As officials in the same dynasty, we are more or less familiar with each other."
He just said it casually to prevent this old guy from getting in trouble.
But it is indeed somewhat certain.
Even if the other party really refuses, at worst he will go to Jiayu Village to try his luck with Qiu Peng.
Seeing this, Xia Bingzhong didn't want to embarrass him anymore, but he looked a little embarrassed and said:
"Okay, even though you said it has nothing to do with you, since it's you who came forward, our family will still give you some face and give him four thousand taels to protect him."
Four thousand taels per person is a fair amount.
The main thing is that there is a vacancy for the governor in Jingying.
However, at this price, Xia Bingzhong does not get much benefit.
That's why he took advantage of Feng Yibo again.
Feng Yibo was not happy when he heard this.
He took out the money order directly, put it on the table, and said:
"Okay, thank you Eunuch Xia for the favor. This is five thousand taels, every penny is a lot."
Xia Bingzhong left him a thousand taels of difference, and asked him to make up for it.
How did Feng Yibo answer it?
Seemingly feeling that Feng Yibo had lost face, Xia Shouzhong hesitated and then said:
"This is you, I may not even want other people's money orders."
"oh?"
Hearing the news about the money order, Feng Yibo's heart moved and he said calmly:
"What? If you want cash in cash, doesn't Eunuch Xia think it's too arrogant?"
If five thousand taels of silver were converted into current silver, it would be worth several hundred kilograms.
Not only is it troublesome to go back and forth, but it can also easily attract the attention of interested people.
This is one of the reasons why money orders are so popular.
"It doesn't hurt to tell you a little bit about this. Just one sentence: sell the money order in your hand as soon as possible, otherwise you will regret it!"
Isn't this just taking action?
The money order in his hand now is less than 100,000 taels.
At his reminder, the Xue family cashed out a lot of cash in various places in the south of the Yangtze River.
Regarding business matters, Xue Pan almost obeyed his brother-in-law.
Without Feng Yibo, the Xue family would have been unable to make ends meet.
Where is the dignity now?
Now that he heard the news, Feng Yibo felt certain in his heart.
There is also some regret.
He sighed and asked:
"But what has Mr. Liu Ge done?"
Xia Bingzhong was obviously a little surprised when he heard the words "Mr. Liu Ge".
But when he showed it, he just narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile:
"Did Lieutenant Feng hear something?"
This matter was kept secret in the cabinet, and Li Shouzhong was not involved.
How did Feng Yuan know this?
"No no!"
Feng Yibo waved his hands repeatedly and explained:
"Previously, Mr. Fei Ge was personally involved in the matter of the money order. Now that he has retired and returned to his hometown, Mr. Liu Ge has taken over. So when my father-in-law talked about the money order, he also said there was any new news. Isn't that the matter of Mr. Liu Ge? ?”
This was said so perfectly that Xia Bingzhong couldn't fault it.
He felt slightly relieved and warned again:
"Captain Feng, please don't talk nonsense about this, especially since you are close to the founding family. If the news leaks out, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear the consequences."
Feng Yibo heard that it was related to the founding of the country.
There were some vague guesses in my mind.
But at this time, it is obviously not suitable to ask further.
"What Eunuch Xia said, I came here today not only to inquire about information, but also to give New Year's gifts."
He laughed first, then said indifferently:
"Besides, apart from the Jia family, what does the founding lineage have to do with me?"
Having said this, he paused slightly before saying with a sneer:
"If we insist on talking about it, they do have some grudges. I was forced to resign before. Aren't they the ones behind it?"
The founding of the People's Republic of China impeached him, and some people may not have known what was going on.
But how could such a thing be hidden from Xia Bingzhong.
Basically, except for some extremely secretive things.
As long as Emperor Jingshun knew, he knew more or less.
After all, he had to help arrange most things.
"Our family naturally knows about this, and we also know that you can distinguish the serious from the serious. Otherwise, we would not disclose it to you."
Xia Bingzhong smiled and said pointedly:
"In short, having said this, our family believes that Captain Feng is a smart man."
There was something in the other party's words, and Feng Yibo could understand it clearly.
Hearing this, he didn't even care about the lake, and immediately said seriously:
"I have written this down. No matter what happens next, I still owe my father-in-law a favor."
Xia Bingzhong said so much, but what he wanted was this sentence.
If something happens to the money order in the future, judging from Feng Yibo's previous experience.
He will definitely not be disappointed.
"It's refreshing to talk to smart people."
Xia Bingzhong smiled slightly and said:
"Don't worry, this matter of subjugation is taken care of by our family."
