Chapter 242 Taken into the Palace
Chapter 242 Taken into the Palace
County Magistrate Feng, whose conspiracy was exposed, immediately became alert when he remembered the ambiguous words of Prince Consort Ji. However, it was impossible for him to go out to investigate the situation. Prince Consort Ji had already ordered people to keep a close eye on the county lord's mansion. Someone would follow him wherever he went. It was even more impossible for him to go out of the mansion. Experts would immediately stop him and drive him back to his own yard.
Feng Yuansi walked back and forth in the house. He felt that something would happen tonight. When he thought of the dozens of people in the Feng family, he felt like he was falling into an ice cave. Feng Yuansi felt that he should have a good talk with the Lord of Baocheng County at this time.
Feng Yuansi went to the courtyard of Baocheng County Lord.
What Feng Yuansi didn't expect was that even at this time, his good wife was still cheating on him. When he opened the door, he saw two people rolling around on the double bed.
What made Feng Yuansi even more angry was that the cheating man was extremely ugly with a fat head and big ears. He pointed at Shen Yefeng with a trembling finger and cursed: "How dare you, a stupid pig, touch my house."
This was the second time that Shen Yefeng was caught cheating by Feng Yuansi, but he was not frightened. He picked up the clothes on the ground, covered his body with them, and said with a silly smile: "Don't be angry, my dear husband. We are all the same."
Feng Yuansi almost fainted from anger.
Feng Yuansi sat in the room and told Shen Yefeng to get out. But Shen Yefeng didn't know how to get out. He looked at his sweetheart first and asked the county lady for her opinion.
When Lady Baocheng saw Feng Yuansi sitting in the room so anxiously, she knew that the county magistrate really had something urgent, so she asked Shen Yefeng to put on his clothes and leave.
Just as Shen Yefeng was getting dressed, the door was opened again, and a voice said, "Master Ma is too soft-hearted. How dare Master Ma say anything about this damned man?"
The three people in the room were so frightened when they saw the man who came in was a martial artist with a sturdy build and thin waist, that they turned pale.
Feng Yuansi knew that this man was the one who had just driven him back to his own yard. He was the guard of the Prince Consort's Mansion and a top master.
Feng Yuansi was not afraid of him. No matter how powerful he was, he was just a servant. He shouted, "What do you want here? Get out."
The man was indifferent. He looked at Shen Yefeng jokingly and said, "How can the county horse be so cowardly? Being ridden on by an adulterer, why don't you let me help you deal with him? If the county horse doesn't listen to me, I will bring the adulterer to the master."
Feng Yuansi panicked. He shouted, "How dare you!"
The man didn't care about his words. He just waved his hand and told the people outside, "Take it away."
Feng Yuansi was a weak scholar, and without any guards at home, he was helpless.
Feng Yuansi reasoned, "Can you please respect me as a county magistrate? It is natural for me as the owner to decide how to deal with the adulterer that my wife has created. How can you say you have such a thing? What is this? Aren't you just meddling in other people's business?"
The man looked at Feng Yuansi and said, "It is because I respect and care about County Master Ma that I personally help him do this. Why? County Master Ma is so determined to protect this adulterer. Could it be that this adulterer has a special identity? I don't know who he is."
Baocheng County Lady was confused. She thought at first that they were the gangsters invited by Feng Yuansi, but now it seems that they are not, because they don't take her, the county lady, seriously. Baocheng County Lady was very angry. She stood in front of this person with her chest puffed out and said coldly: "Who are you? Do you know that I am a county lady? So what if I favor a male favorite? Even if this matter is reported to the emperor, I am still the county lady. At most, I will change a county horse master, idiot! Why don't you let him go quickly. You are so treasonous for breaking into the county lady's bedroom. I will punish you with twenty strokes of the cane. You can go to the housekeeper to get it yourself."
The man did not argue with Princess Baocheng. The most important thing was that he knew that all the soldiers and servants in the mansion were under his control. Did Princess Baocheng really think she could do anything to him?
He said respectfully: "Yes, I will take my leave."
Then he turned around and left, and the two subordinates who were escorting Shen Yefeng behind him immediately dragged Shen Yefeng and followed him.
Shen Yefeng trembled, like a lamb to be slaughtered, and said in panic: "No... I can't go, you can't arrest me, the county lady and I are in love with each other."
When the Lord of Baocheng County saw this, she was so angry that her face turned red. She pointed at the back of the person who dragged Shen Yefeng away and said, "Rebellion! Rebellion! Someone! Come quickly! Arrest them all for me."
But she shouted for a long time and no servant in the mansion responded.
Baocheng took out her anger on Feng Yuansi. She pointed at Feng Yuansi and cursed, "We were all good servants you taught us, but now they have caught us. If this gets out, with your father's temper, we will have to divorce. Tell me what to do about this. And the matter of the eunuch Gu Jia, that old wily guy is dead. He has a lot of secrets in his hands. I heard that all the civil and military officials in the court are involved. We are in big trouble. Now you tell me the truth, what did your father do? Was he punished to the point of confiscating the family property and exterminating the whole family? This is very important. It is better not to implicate you and me."
When Feng Yuansi heard her say that the eunuch Gu Jia was dead, his head suddenly exploded.
He now seemed to understand what the prince consort said before he left. The prince consort and the princess still did not intend to let him go.
No!
He's going out of the house!
He thought and did it, and immediately left Baocheng County Lord's house.
If there is no other choice, he can only crawl through a dog hole. Fortunately, his pet dog has a dog hole leading to the outside.
When the Princess of Baocheng County saw that Feng Yuansi didn't take her seriously, she stomped her feet three times in anger.
Gritting his teeth, he said, "Since you are so unkind, don't blame me for not having a good time. I will get the evidence from Minister Feng first."
Then she fixed her clothes and makeup, spending most of an hour getting dressed, preparing to enter the palace.
Her stupid behavior was naturally within the princess's calculations.
Ever since the experts they sent out captured Shen Yefeng, the people from the princess's mansion withdrew, leaving behind one or two spies to watch Princess Baocheng's every move. When they heard that Princess Baocheng was going to take a carriage into the palace, they hurriedly urged the coachman and anxiously asked the coachman to wait at the gate of the princess's mansion.
The Princess of Baocheng County went into the palace, and the horse from Feng County got out of the dog hole as he wished and came to the street.
However, because Taoist Qingping broke into the West Palace during the day, a series of strange natural disasters occurred, causing panic among the people of the entire city. The city's imperial guards were spread across every street and alley, and patrol teams came one after another, making the county horse master hide here and there like a headless fly, and no one knew where he was going.
Later, he saw a house with lights on, as if there was a fire. He walked towards the firelight to look at the name on the plaque, thinking that if he knew the origin of this family, he would be able to roughly guess where in the capital he was, and then make plans.
But he never expected that the house that caught fire was actually Gu Jia's house.
At this time, a man sneaked out from the side door of the house. Feng Yuansi saw it clearly and found that it was Shen Maofeng, another lover of Baocheng County Lord.
Feng Yuansi watched Shen Maofeng run away, so he ran into Gu Jia's house.
At this time, the house was desolate and silent. The servants were either killed or fled. Feng Yuansi knew that if he passed through Gu Jia's house, he would reach another street. After crossing two alleys, there was a small house bought by his father. The servants in the house knew him, so it would be safer to tell the servants to invite his father to the small house to discuss things.
When Feng Yuansi was about to walk out of a rockery in the house, he was suddenly grabbed by the ankle by a bloody hand, which scared Feng Yuansi so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Feng Yuansi saw clearly that it was an old man, so he dared to kick him.
But the man held on to him and wouldn't let go.
"Huh? Are you?"
Feng Yuansi looked at the old man for a few more seconds. Oh my God! This man was Gu Jia, the owner of the house.
Gu Jia was already at the end of his strength, and perhaps unwilling to give up, he did not recognize who he had caught. He grabbed the man's clothes, pulled him in front of him, and spoke a long speech into his ear. He died with his eyes open until he finished the last word.
Feng Yuansi, who was forced to listen to the words, had his pupils contracted in fear.
For such a heinous act, there are actually witnesses and evidence?
Princess Shanjin! You are simply a lunatic!
Feng Yuansi lost seven of his eight souls, and his mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts...
Princess Shanjin cannot be overthrown, not only because of her status, but also because her husband, Ji Junting, is a powerful man. They have the powerful backing of the Jiguo Mansion behind them. None of the three Ji brothers can be controlled. And their Feng family? Now there is the matter of Gu Jia's death. If what Baocheng County Lord said is true, then his father and his Feng family will be in great trouble. Now they can't take care of the Feng family. They can only escape as many as possible.
Feng Yuansi looked at the half-burned house not far away and wondered what would happen if he disappeared or died.
Shen Maofeng witnessed the attack on Gu Jia's yard, so he went to Baocheng County Lord's Mansion, but found nothing. When he was about to go home to make other plans, he happened to see Princess Shanjin's carriage stopped in front of him.
Princess Shanjin lifted the carriage curtain for the first time and asked, "Is it the son of Lord Shen?"
Shen Maofeng was extremely honored. He said respectfully, "Your Highness, I am Shen Maofeng."
Princess Shanjin said, "Now that the Shen family is in power again, your eighth sister has been favored by the emperor in the palace. I didn't expect that as soon as she entered the palace, the emperor held a banquet for her and invited the royal family. Since you are here, I will do you a favor and bring you to the palace to share the honor."
When Shen Maofeng heard about such a great thing, he was so happy that he followed the princess's carriage without thinking and left happily.
Princess Shanjin walked very quickly, and soon she really entered the palace with all the palace maids.
Shen Maofeng followed into the palace without thinking, his legs almost broke, and in the blink of an eye, Princess Shanjin disappeared, leaving only two palace servants by his side. The palace servants took him for a long way, and Shen Maofeng became more and more panicked. He did not dare to ask more questions, just thinking that this was not the way to the palace banquet.
The palace maids were replaced halfway through the journey, and he followed the other two palace maids to a palace.
