The anti-corruption officer who is also in charge of monitoring the mansion is named Liang Zhenguang. "At about ten o'clock the next morning, the Chen father and son were found dead, and there was chaos inside. Half of the brothers rushed in to check the situation, and the man probably took advantage of the chaos. The wall is gone!" Cao Benshu said, "Search the walls everywhere."

After searching for more than 50 minutes, I finally found traces of climbing on a wall.There are several footprints on the white powder wall, but the footprints are not complete.

Moreover, it rained a few days ago, and the footprints have become very faint.

Liang Zhenguang mentally simulated the situation at that time: "This person ran up from the flower bed, stepped on the wall and jumped up, grabbed the top of the wall with his hands, and then climbed up the wall with his feet and hands. Such a high wall must be agile. Not too old. "Huh!"

Another anti-corruption officer found a small piece of fabric under the wall, which should have been torn from the corner of the brick where the clothes hung on the top of the wall.Cao Benshu took the piece of cloth and asked Haitang and the bearer, "That man is wearing commoner clothes." "No." The bearer shook his head.

Haitang replied more affirmatively, "He is wearing a lake silk Taoist robe."

Cai Gang said, "This man changed clothes in the house. He must have sneaked into a servant's room, and changed a lake silk Taoist robe into cotton clothes. Then he pretended to be a servant and came here to climb over the wall in the chaos." "Check "

Chen's father and son didn't know how to restrain themselves. Not only was the carriage luxurious, but there were also many servants at home, and most of them were hired locally.The servants were all grounded and called in for separate interrogation.

Soon someone couldn't bear it anymore, and handed over the Husi Taoist robe and leather hat, and even took out a fake beard.Cao Benshu was very angry, and asked, "Why did you hide it during the interrogation before?" The servant was so frightened that he almost cried, "The clothes are very expensive, Cao Min... Cao Min wants to keep them for himself..." "Okay, don't Said." Cao Benshu suppressed the evil fire in his stomach.They moved ladders and continued to investigate inside and outside the wall.Outside the fence, it is estimated that no one has been walking around for a long time, and the place near the wall is already covered with moss.

Even though it had rained two days ago, there were still clear footprints on the moss.Especially the foot that jumped down and stepped on, the footprints are very complete. "Huh," Cai Gang lay on the ground and observed carefully, "Why are these footprints so shallow and deep?" Liang Zhenguang said excitedly.

Cao Benshu asked, "Everyone interrogated these days, especially those from the Wang family, do they have walking difficulties?" "No." Everyone shook their heads.

Cao Benshu returned to his temporary residence and called all investigators.

Soon someone said, "Is there anyone who has trouble walking, but one person is sick, and he was lying in bed when the case was inquired." "Who?" Cao Benshu asked.

The man said, "Du Xingxue, the teacher of Wu Wengang's family, a sea merchant, will come to Wu's house every holiday to give extra lessons to Wu Wengang's son." Died suddenly.After reading Fan Hongjing's last letter, Cao Benshu took control of Wu Wengang's family to investigate and interrogated all relevant personnel.The make-up teacher of the Wu family was also questioned due to frequent visits, but no one suspected that there was something wrong with the teacher.

Cao Benshu personally led people to kill Du Xingxue. Du Xingxue was drinking alone.Cao Benshu sneered, "Isn't Mr. Du seriously ill in bed?" "I have a slight illness, but I have recovered." Du Xingxue said.Cao Benshu said, "Take two steps to see."

Du Xingxue didn't lose his feet, but broke his bones in a fall.He suddenly sighed with emotion, "As expected of the Inspectorate, the Inspectorate of the new dynasty is more powerful than the former Inspectorate. The accounts of the Shibai Division for the past ten years, as well as the profit-sharing accounts of many officials, are all in the big box in my study." I have only one request, I am willing to obey the law, but when my wife and children are exiled, it is best to be exiled to Maerza (Markang). I have inquired about it, and there is not too much suffering.” That’s it.

Cao Benshu couldn't believe it, "What are you doing in Chen's house?"

Du Xingxue said, "Father and son of the Chen family have been unwilling to commit suicide for a long time, so I can only persuade them in person. These two wretches are greedy for money more than anyone else. They don't know how to pretend to be poor, but they are afraid of death when things come to an end." Are you from Wang Cai?" Cao Benshu asked.

"He's not worthy," Du Xingxue pointed at the roof, "My master has already been transferred to Nanjing, you guys are so proud of yourself this time." Cao Benshu said, "Who is it?"

Du Xingxue laughed and said: "Your Excellency, why bother to ask again, I'm afraid you have already guessed it in your heart. Ten years ago, he worked as a market secretary in Shanghai, and now he is working in the central government. There is only one person.

"Just him," Cao Benshu confirmed.Duchenne's "Who else"

Cao Benshu breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time said disdainfully, "A Zuo Shilang, you can only talk about the sky, you are a little sitting and watching the sky." Du Xingxue laughed and said: "In Cao Yushi's eyes, the Zuo Shilang is not high enough. But the adoptive parents of Zuo Shilang are the parents of Fei Ge (Fei Chun). Do you still dare to find out?"

Cao Benshu gritted his teeth and said, "Don't talk about old Fei Ge, it's the emperor's relatives. I'll check to the bottom! Arrest people and find the account books!"

Chapter 924 [Middleman]

There are quite a few officials who have gone out from the Shanghai Shipping Department, one is the third-rank left servant, and the other is the fifth-rank doctor.These are still only central officials, and there are still five local officials from the third rank, the fourth rank, and the fifth rank.

The establishment of the Shanghai Shipping Department was relatively late, and the Guangzhou Shipping Department was established first. How many officials should go out to other municipal shipping departments?

In the interrogation room, Cao Benshu knocked on the table twice, "Please explain everything."

Du Xing said, "At the beginning of the opening of Shanghai Port, Mr. Wu Ge (Wu Yingji) was in charge. At that time, the investigation was relatively strict. Mr. Wu Ge was just reused by the emperor, and he only wanted to make meritorious service. He didn't rub the sand in his eyes. Later, Mr. Wu Ge was promoted, and the head of the Shipbuilding Department was replaced by Xiao Zhifeng." Xiao Shufeng was a scholar of Yongyang Town, and Zhao Han raised troops in Wuxing Town, and the second expansion site was Yongyang Town.

The tablets of the first batch of sacrificed martyrs of the Datong Army are placed in the Xiao Family Ancestral Hall in Yongyang Town.This Xiao Qifeng can definitely be called a Conglong hero, a proper official of the court and middle school.

Du Xingxue continued: "When Xiao Jifeng took office, he was relatively honest as an official. But his son Xiao Jingzhang was dragged into the water by Wu Wengang, a sea merchant. Xiao Jingzhang is just a playboy. He doesn't like reading or being an official. He is sixteen or seventeen years old. Just hang out in Shanghai, love to compare with the young master of the wealthy businessman's family. This guy got Wu Wengang's money, and evaded taxes with a few officials. After the matter was revealed, Xiao Qifeng was worried about his official status, so he helped his son bring the case to the police. Press down."

"The case will be suppressed as he says," Cao Benshu asked.

Du Xingxue said with a smile: "The amount at that time was not large, and Xiao Qifeng knew many nobles, so the officials in charge of investigating the case turned a blind eye and closed their eyes, ordering Wu Wengang to pay back the tax and then quietly uncovered it. For a small matter Case, why offend Conglong Zhichen who came out of Yongyang Town? Cao Benshu asked, "Xiao Qifeng was dragged into the water like this."

Du Xingxue said, "Not yet. His son, Xiao Jingzhang, beat people into cripples because of jealousy. Wu Wengang helped settle the case with the victim. Afterwards, Wu Wengang invited Xiao Qifeng to a banquet, and Xiao Qifeng had to go to the appointment due to affection. In this way, Wu Wengang entangled the Xiao family father and son, and sent them Wenwan and women, and they were in conflict with each other." "Wu Wengang didn't just evade taxes," Cao Benshu asked.

"Of course more than that," Du Xingxue said, "Wu Wengang opened a bank, and all the dirty money collected by corrupt officials in Shanghai is stored in Wu Wengang's bank. Moreover, without an access certificate, it is impossible for the court to find out the stolen money. With this, Wu Wengang's The money bank grew rapidly, and many merchants turned to Wu Wengang for loans. Wu Wengang also took the opportunity to buy shares in many companies, about a dozen maritime trading companies, and Wu Wengang had shares in them. Cao Benshu asked again, "Why are all these criminal accounts in your hands?" What do you do here?"

Du Xingxue said: "I was originally from Northern Zhili, and my family fled to Shandong. Shandong was also in chaos, and I continued to flee south. My father and brother died of illness one after another on the way. My father had some friendship with Xuanhu Gong (Xu Guangqi) in the early years, so I took him with him. The family came to Shanghai. At that time, the Xu family was ordered by the court to separate and relocate. The descendants of Xuanhu Gong were busy dividing up the family property. How could they take care of us who defected? There was no one to make decisions. I was almost hungry at the time Die on the street." "Continue to talk." Cao Benshu said.

Du Xingxue said, "At that time, Shanghai County expanded its recruitment of officials. I planned to be a junior official. I suddenly fell ill a few days before the exam. After I recovered, because I knew Thai and Western mathematics, the primary school in Shanghai had not been opened for a few years, and many wealthy businessmen were in I was looking for a teacher to give my children extra lessons, so I went to apply for a teacher from Wu Wengang's family."

Cao Benshu said: "Being a Mr. Xixi is just a temporary act. Why didn't you go to examine officials later?"

Du Xingxue explained, "Both my father and brother died of illness, and I was the only one to take care of my mother. I was too busy working as an official in the new dynasty, so I didn't have time to take care of my mother at home. In addition, as my mother got older, the illnesses became more frequent. Zhuo Jing also died of illness within two years. Well, the house is in a mess. Well... anyway, it's so annoying that I don't have time to do business."

Cao Benshu asked, "How did you get in touch with Xiao Qifeng?"

Du Xingxue said, "When I was teaching at Wu Wengang's home, I had a good relationship with his son, and... seduced his daughter. Shengxing cooked rice and was pregnant. He didn't want to lose face, so he held his nose and confessed. gone."

"You are really a bad guy, you can do such things." Cao Benshu couldn't help but sigh.

Du Xingxue continued, "Later, I deliberately made friends with Xiao Jingzhang and acted as a dog's leg to Mr. Xiao. Through Xiao Jingzhang, I got to know Xiao Jifeng and worked hard to show my talents. Sure enough, I was appreciated by Xiao Qifeng. Feng, leave the Wu family to do business on my own. Alas, I am really not good at doing business. The business company I opened in partnership with Mr. Xiao closed after only one year of operation." Cao Benshu said, "With the Xiao family as the facade, how can the business company lose money? "

Du Xingxue smiled wryly, "Young Master Xiao has too many cronies, so he stuffs people into the trading company from time to time. He has a good face, and many goods are sold to our trading company at a high price because of his friendship. In the end, it is the friends that Young Master Xiao stuffed in. Qian fled overseas, and even lost two cargo ships.” Cao Benshu lamented, “Young Master Xiao, it’s really hard to describe.”

Du Xingxue said: "After that, I stopped doing business. Xiao Qifeng and Wu Wengang also had a rift, so I took the opportunity to be their middleman. I handle all the stolen money from the Shibo Department, and part of it is deposited in Wu Wengang's Part of the money bank was distributed from Chen Xianchun's hands to fellow officials. Chen Xianchun had only been doing this for five years. Before him, there was a man named Zhai Shirang, who died of illness after being transferred to Shaanxi." Cao Benshu asked, "Is that Zhai Shirang true? die of illness, or be murdered"

Du Xingxue shook his head: "I don't know, but he should have died of illness. He left the Shibo Department long ago and went to Shaanxi to be a local official. There is no need for Xiao Jifeng to send someone to kill him."

Cao Benshu asked again, "After Xiao Qifeng was transferred from Shanghai, is he still taking the stolen money from the Shibo Department?"

"I have been taking it all the time," Du Xingxue said. "This kind of thing can't be stopped. Even if he wants to stop, the maritime merchants involved in the case will continue to send him money. Moreover, the shipping department of other ports also have I guess most of the confidantes he promoted also received money. The dirty money he has embezzled over the years, if not 100 million, is probably 50 million."

Cao Benshu asked again, "Chen Xianchun and his son, you killed them"

"No," Du Xingxue explained, "Zhai Shirang, who has died of illness, and this Chen Xianchun, what they did, they must die once the case happens. It was agreed a long time ago that if they die, the case will be closed. But Chen Xianchun was afraid of death and refused to commit suicide for a long time, so I can only persuade myself." Cao Benshu asked, "If you persuade them, they will die."

Du Xingxue said: "Of course we have to make a painful statement. If they don't commit suicide, they will definitely die when the case is found out. And even if they are beheaded, there are too many officials involved, and his family will be worse than death. If they commit suicide , Xiao Qifeng and other officials will take care of their families afterwards. Even if the whole family is exiled, they can quietly send money, and when the news passes, they can slowly move back from the place of exile.

Cao Benshu didn't want to understand one more point: "Those account books are so important, why are they all placed in the study? If you are afraid of being found out in Datong Bank, you can dig a big hole and bury them. And after I brought people to the door, you actually Plead guilty immediately."

Du Xingxue sighed: "Oh, I'm tired. There are more and more officials and merchants involved. As a middleman, I can't sleep all night. Besides, Chen Xianchun's stupid son always drives a big carriage around the city, afraid People don't know that his father is a corrupt official, and he will be investigated by the court sooner or later. Also, if Xiao Qifeng can escape this disaster, I guess I will be silenced when the news passes." "You can escape overseas " said Cao Benshu.

Du Xingxue said, "My mother, wife and children are all being targeted by Wu Wengang. He also asked his daughter to take her grandson back to her natal family to visit relatives. Now my wife and children are being guarded at Wu's house. My mother is almost 70 years old. Cao Benshu stared at Du Xingxue for a while, and always felt that it would not be so simple. Du Xingxue must have something to hide." Shibo Secretary experienced Fan Hongjing, you sent people to kill " Cao Benshu asked.

Du Xingxue shook his head: "It's not me, nor an official. The hired murderer is my father-in-law, Wu Wengang. Fan Ching is very smart, and even through clues, he suspected that Wu Wengang was deeply involved in the case. He pretended to accept bribes, and deliberately flirted with Wu Wengang. Friendship, I often inquire about some inside stories. Wu Wengang killed in a fright, Wang Cai and Chen Xianchun dealt with the aftermath, and cremated the body according to normal death, for fear that the government would send a letter for an autopsy." Cao Benshu asked again, "Except for Fan Jing being killed, Wu Wengang Is there any other murder case?"

"Yes," Du Xingxue said, "Six years ago, there was an official in the Shipbuilding Department who didn't want to accept dirty money, and didn't trust Shanghai officials, so he quietly went to Nanjing by boat to report. He fell into the water and drowned on the way... "

"This is a loyal minister and righteous man, write down his name." Cao Benshu said to the interrogation recorder.Du Xing said, "I forgot the name of this official, and I really can't remember it for a small official." The official is not a small official, but an official position.

Cao Benshu was furious, "The murder case is a big deal, and he killed an official. Doesn't his name deserve you to remember?" Du Xingxue remained silent.Far away in Luzon.

A few years ago came a rich man named Du Xingmin.He claimed to be the son of a wealthy businessman in Shandong, and because he had a falling out with his elder brother over the division of the family property, he took his wife and children away overseas.

Du Xingmin did not develop in Manila either, and settled in a small village.He also spent money to buy land, raised a few Japanese wanderers, and bought native captives from the government as tenants.

Now there are hundreds of acres of land, and taxes are paid according to regulations, and the excess land is willing to pay step-by-step taxes.What's even more weird is that the tablets enshrined in his family are all white boards, without the names of the deceased written on them.

He has a wife and two concubines, four sons and two daughters.There is a concubine's room with a son who lives alone in another courtyard.This concubine's room and Du Xingmin seem to be close, but in reality they keep a distance, as if they are sister-in-law.

Chapter 925 [Lady Fei]

Nanjing.

Ling Shi, who used to like to put on airs as a wife, is now a real wife.

However, she is no longer called Mrs. Ling, but the famous "Old Mrs. Fei", the real first-rank Mrs. Gaoming!

The Datong New Dynasty did not have too complicated regulations on the dress of the married woman, only the color and pattern of the dress.But every time Mrs. Fei went out, she followed the etiquette of Yipin Imperial Order. Since the new dynasty did not have too detailed regulations, she would follow the style of the Ming dynasty.

Let's talk about the head crown first. The five di birds on the front are all inlaid with pearls.Below the Zhai bird are two peonies made of pearls.On the top of the crown, there are two di birds made of gold, with pearls in their beaks.For the rest, there are patterns of emerald clouds and emerald leaves made of velvet, and pearls and silver ornaments on the forehead.

Zhai Guan's mouth ring is slightly innovative, and it is not quite the same as the Ming Dynasty.The emerald circle was changed to a red circle, and besides the eight golden treasure inn flowers, there were also three emerald green jadeite beads.This is because Mrs. Fei likes red, and the emperor "likes" emerald, so the emerald mouth turns red, and three more emerald beads are added.The clothes are of course Chuzi plus Zhai Wenxiapei, and the pendants in front of him are no longer matched with gold flowers, but all changed to emeralds and pearls.Elegant and luxurious!

Mrs. Fei is in her early 50s this year. Because of the good maintenance, she still looks charming.

Dressed neatly under the service of the maid, Mrs. Fei stretched out her left hand, and immediately the maid changed her to stand up and helped her all the way to the inner courtyard.High-ranking officials like to raise orchids, but Mrs. Fei doesn't.The servants in her family are all hired with money, and they have changed from being stingy when they were young, and are generous to the male and female servants around them.

If the servant's family had difficulties, she would often explain it generously, and won the sincere respect of the servants in the house. "Go and call Master and Madam." Mrs. Fei ordered.The master is of course Fei Chun, and Fei Chun who died half a year ago is the old man.The wife is Fei Chun's wife.

Fei Chun Ding You was at home at this time, and it was not convenient for him to travel, so he stayed in the study all day, and learned to play Go to relieve his boredom.Bringing his wife to the inner courtyard, seeing his mother in formal attire, Fei Chun couldn't help asking, "Where is mother going?"

Mrs. Fei said, "My eldest grandson was sick, and I once asked the Bodhisattva to bless me. These days, my convulsions have been healed and I have gone to Chen Zhongshan Temple to fulfill my wish. You also went there, and prayed to the Bodhisattva for you that day. The person in your room didn't tell you "

"I said it three days ago." Fei Chun's wife replied in a low voice. She was also dressed formally today.Fei Chun had no choice but to keep up.

Mrs. Fei said again, "It's not serious to just wear a Taoist robe. Change into your casual clothes." Taoist robes belong to casual clothes, and casual clothes are the daily clothes of officials. You can tell at a glance that this person is an official.Fei Chun sighed, and obediently went back to his room to change into casual clothes.

The Fei family's carriage is quite simple, without gold or silver decorations, but the carriage is relatively large and the horses are more handsome.There were not many entourages on the trip, and there were a few men and women each. This was Fei Chun's strong request, otherwise Mrs. Fei would definitely hug her.When I got out of the gate, there was already a carriage waiting.

On the carriage, a woman came down, about forty years old, bowed down and performed the Wanfu salute, "Meet Auntie." "Oh, my daughter has been waiting for a long time." Mrs. Fei has a pleasant face, much more affectionate than her attitude towards her own daughter-in-law. .

This woman is Xiao Qifeng's wife, Liu Shi, who had already been neighbors with Fei Chun when she was in Luling County.At that time, Fei Chun's salary was not high, and he was not rewarded with mines and salt shops, so he lived a tight life.Mrs. Liu often came to visit, always bringing some small gifts, which made Mrs. Fei smile.After coming and going, Mrs. Liu became Mrs. Fei's goddaughter.If it weren't for the fear of messing up their seniority, the two families would have married long ago.Now that Fei Chun's second son has grown up, and Liu's cousin and niece are about to reach the age of Ji, the two parties have made a marriage contract, and they can get married next year.Compared with Mrs. Fei's nobility, Mrs. Liu is much more simple, just dressed like an ordinary lady.

Mrs. Fei took Mrs. Liu's hand and asked, "Why don't you see you put on that gold pendant I gave you for your mother?" Mrs. Liu replied, "My husband is an upright official and doesn't like his family to show off."

Xiao Qifeng's personality is that of an upright official. Last year his son bought a fine horse and rode it on the street.Xiao Qifeng rushed to hear the news and broke his son's leg in the street. This incident has already spread throughout Nanjing, and was even praised by the emperor.

Mrs. Fei said with emotion: "It's not money from greed, how can you say so much? You are also ordered by the third rank, so don't lose your dignity when you go out, and let other officials' ladies look down on you behind your back."

Immediately, Mrs. Fei pulled Mrs. Liu into the car, but his son and daughter-in-law took another car instead.

The carriage moved forward for a certain distance, and Mrs. Liu took out the jadeite bracelet from her bosom. "My husband has an old subordinate who was an official in the Pingnan Military and Civil Mansion. There is nothing in Burma, but jadeite can be seen everywhere. Jadeite is very expensive in Nanjing. Myanmar is cheap, so my husband accepted it. My daughter knew that my mother liked it, so she asked a craftsman to polish a pair of bracelets.'

"Oh, this color is so pleasingly green," Mrs. Fei liked it more and more, she held Mrs. Liu's hand and said, "You don't have any decent jewelry, why don't you keep it for yourself?"

Liu said, "My daughter's mother died early, and she has always been abused by her stepmother. After meeting A Niang, it was like seeing her mother. A Niang loves me so much. She is not my mother, but better than my mother. My daughter has something good. Naturally, I want to think about A Niang. A Niang don’t want to refuse, please accept my daughter’s filial piety.” Mrs. Fei was even more happy, and immediately put on the jade bracelet, took Liu’s hand and said, “You are my relatives. Daughter, it’s more painful than my ignorant daughter-in-law. If there’s anything you need in normal times, tell your mother as soon as possible, don’t be afraid to trouble her. . " said Liu.

"I don't ask for a long life, I just want to live to be seventy years old," Mrs. Fei sighed all over her body. "My family didn't enjoy the blessings when he was young. My son managed to achieve something, but he died of a serious illness. , It’s really not a life to enjoy life. Liu quickly said, “My condolences, Aunt, the days to come will be long. "Mrs. Fei thought about her late husband, and she was a little depressed. Mrs. Liu coaxed her for a while before she became happy again. When she arrived at Zhongshan Temple, Mrs. Liu helped Mrs. Fei get off the car, and Fei Chun and his wife became redundant attendants instead. Mrs. Liu was very knowledgeable, and turned her head from time to time, chatting and joking with Fei Chun and his wife, for fear of neglecting the two righteous masters. Those good men and women who came and went, some people recognized them and bowed to them from time to time.

Even if there were people they didn't know, when they saw Mrs. Fei's Yipin's clothes, they all stopped and bowed their hands in greeting.

With such a beautiful scenery, Mrs. Fei was in a happy mood.She likes to go out in formal clothes and to be respected by others. This feeling is as comfortable as drinking ice water in the dog days. "Happy old lady!"

But I saw a woman walking out of the hall with a maid, and immediately saluted when she saw Mrs. Fei.Mrs. Fei nodded slightly, "Miss Wang is being polite.

This woman is the wife of Wang Tiaoding, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites. She is a second-rank imperial order, and she is quite important in front of Mrs. Fei.After a few pleasantries, Mrs. Fei asked, "Is the lady of the Wang family here to worship the Buddha, or to visit Zhongshan Temple?"

The wife of the Wang family replied, "The second child in my family will graduate from middle school next year, and he has to go to worship in Taoist temples and Buddhist temples. Please bless all gods and Buddhas."

"It should be, this kind of thing should pray to God and worship Buddha," Mrs. Fei said, "Although we can all pay for our children and grandchildren to go to college, can self-financed ones compare with public-funded college students? He is a non-commissioned officer. A self-funded college student is an official, even if he has passed the general examination, he is also like the former court's Jurenguan. My eldest grandson is annoying. He didn't even get a high school diploma, so he has no way to go to college at his own expense. In a fit of rage, the old man simply sent him to the military academy. This bastard didn’t get his graduation certificate from the military academy, so he could only be sent to work as a clerk. By the way, how is your second child’s grades?” said the lady of the Wang family, “Barely still.” passable.

Fei Chun couldn't help saying, "Mother, don't compare yourself. The second son of Wang Shangshu's family, although he was eliminated in Huangcheng Middle School, he must be able to go to university at his own expense."

Old Madam Fei was unhappy, and couldn't help but scolded, "You two don't know how to teach your children to read, what are you doing all day long?"

This sentence was actually blaming Fei Chun's wife.

Fei Chun immediately helped his wife talk, "Mr. Xixi has also been invited, and several of them are well-known and knowledgeable. Every holiday, I give that bastard a make-up lesson. If he can't learn it by himself, he can blame the boss. He is useless." , the second child is not much different, only the third child is still good at studying. From now on, when the third child makes up lessons, mother, don’t feel bad, let him play while he is reading." "You are blaming me for doting Grandson," Mrs. Fei said angrily. "Don't dare." Fei Chun quickly lowered his head.

The lady of the Wang family was a little embarrassed, she squeezed out a smile and said, "Old lady, Mrs. Fei Ge, Mrs. Fei, I still haven't worshiped at the Arhat Hall, so I won't bother you to pay respects to the Buddha. Farewell!"

Mrs. Fei entered the hall to fulfill her wish, and by the way, she began to make another wish, asking the Buddha and Bodhisattva to bless her grandchildren to become wiser.After worshiping all the halls in the temple, Mrs. Fei finally returned home.As soon as I arrived at the gate, I saw a group of men in black surrounding me.

Fei Chun was shocked and was already sweating.Then I thought again, I'm not corrupt, I'm afraid of their shit

The leading man in black stepped forward and cupped his hands towards Fei Chun, "I'm sorry to bother Mr. Fei Ge. We also bear the imperial order. Please Mr. Fei Ge come with us. Also, Mrs. Fei and Mrs. Xiao have to go too." Sit down. Fei Chun became more and more puzzled, "My mother is going too"

The man in black said, "Xiao Qifeng's incident happened, and Master Fei San was also involved."

"My third younger brother is in Shandong, so what case can I not fight with Xiao Shufeng?" Fei Chun looked resentful.The man in black stopped explaining and just said, "Please, everyone.'

No matter how angry Mrs. Fei was, she didn't dare to lose her temper when she met a man in black, and she followed along at a loss.As I walked, I couldn't help but ask, "What crime did my third son commit?"

"You'll know when you go to the National Security Council," said the man in black.

At this moment, Xiao Qifeng's wife, Liu Shi, suddenly fainted after walking a few steps.Really dizzy, frightened fainted.

Chapter 926 [The two princes are gone]

In the interrogation room, facing Fei Chun sat three people, one in black, one in white and one in red.

The black one belonged to the National Security Council, the white one belonged to the Inspectorate, and the one in the red one was directly the Minister of Dali Temple. "Is this a three-court trial?" Fei Chun couldn't laugh or cry.

The traditional three-court trial is the Procuratorate, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the Dali Temple. Officials from the Ministry of Criminal Justice did not come today.

Huang Zundu from the Academy of National Security Academy asked: "Old Fei Ge, you are offended, and we are also following the emperor's orders. What is your relationship with Xiao Qifeng?"

Fei Chun replied: "When we were in Luling County, I was a neighbor with him. His wife often came to my house as a guest, and made my mother happy, so he recognized his adoptive parents.

A couple of drinks, and a good personal relationship.Later, he was transferred to Guangdong, and then moved around to become an official, so he had no contact with him.It wasn't until he was transferred back to Beijing that he came and went occasionally. "He can be promoted quickly, does he have anything to do with you?" Huang Zundu asked.

Fei Chun said: Maybe there is, but I didn't say anything, maybe the officials of the Ministry of History misunderstood.After all, when my mother went out, the wife of the Xin family often followed her around. Some people would think too much when they saw it.Huang Zundu asked directly: "Have you ever received money from him? Or other gifts.

"I am the Duke of the state. His Majesty has rewarded the salt shop and the mine. I have made many meritorious services, and there are three mines. Do you think I will be short of money?" Fei Chun asked, "Before I, Ding You, was already a secondary assistant."like

I have to go home and keep my filial piety. I am now the chief minister of the court, so I can be regarded as an extremely human minister? I have reached the end of my official position, and I am a duke, and I am not short of money. I am worthy of accepting bribes from him? I am not a fool.
