Chapter 338: fast reaction
Chapter 338 Quick response
Hua Ruijun calmed down and said: "My lord, you also know that back then, my father suffered a sudden disaster. If it hadn't been for Wang Xiang's generous intervention, where would I be today? Wang Xiang has been as kind to me as a mountain. I will not allow anyone to slander Wang Xiang's family. ”
As he spoke, Hua Ruijun's calmed down mood became aroused again.
The wise king hurriedly comforted you and said, "I understand that the king has been kind to you."
Hua Ruijun shook his head and said: "The king and the prime minister are my life-saving grace. The prince is the one who knows and appreciates me. The prince and the king are both my benefactors."
Hua Ruijun's words about "knowing one's encounters and showing kindness" made the wise king's heart feel hot, which was very useful to him.
I think that when the British Duke recommended Hua Ruijun to him, he was extremely unhappy.
He told the British Duke that his virtuous prince's palace was not some dilapidated temple that houses cats and dogs.
In his heart, Hua Ruijun was just a concubine of the Hua family, and he was kicked out of the Hua family by Mrs. Liu.
He despised him from the bottom of his heart.
Because the British Duke said that this was the intention of the king, he accepted Hua Ruijun as his disciple without any difficulty.
What he didn't expect was that Hua Ruijun was more capable than he imagined.
Hua Ruijun, whether it is general affairs related to business or government affairs related to the court, he can see some skills.
His vision and structure are not like those of a concubine.
The King Xian even felt that Hua Ruijun’s views on current affairs were sometimes a bit deeper than those of the British Duke.
In the days since Hua Ruijun came to his side, he has become much more comfortable in doing things.
The wise king said: "Wang Houzhe is my father-in-law, and I will not allow anyone to smear the Wang family."
What the Xianwang told is the truth. Wang Houzhe is Wang Peiyun’s father and his father-in-law. Ever since the imperial edict granting marriage was issued, the Wangxiang’s Palace and the Xianwang’s Palace have been in the same boat.
They are involved in each other, and they are both prosperous and destructive.
He is aiming for a big position, and he will not allow anyone to damage his reputation.
Hua Ruijun stood up and said, "Your Majesty, people from the Ministry of Rites will be here soon.
Although the details of the prince's wedding gift have been finalized a few days ago, due to the complicated process, I have to go and check it out first to avoid traveling on business.
Regarding Mrs. Yang’s matter, the prince has asked Second Master Lu. If there is really something wrong with Mr. Lu, the prince will send Chengyun to find out, and we can make a total calculation together. "
Everything about a wedding is really complicated. A few days ago, officials from the Ministry of Rites came over with a thick stack of documents. King Xian took it and took a look at it. He was dizzy by the dense small regular script.
Handlessly handed the document to Hua Ruijun and asked the officials of the Ministry of Rites to hand over the matter to Hua Ruijun.
Let Hua Ruijun figure it out and then tell him.
Hua Ruijun did not disappoint the Xian Wang. He went through the wedding process in detail and explained everything to the Xian Wang in detail.
This is much easier than letting the wise king see it for himself.
The wise king nodded, stood up, and said, "Go and do your work. When Zixun comes, I will ask him carefully."
The wise king said as he sent the flowers and auspicious coins out.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to send him off. I can just go there myself."
“It doesn’t matter…”
Before the wise king finished speaking, Chengyun announced outside the door: "Your Majesty, Second Master Lu is here."
The wise king raised his voice and said: "Please come in. Ruijun, I won't see you off."
Hua Ruijun bowed to the wise king and then exited the room.
On the corridor, Hua Ruijun met Lu Zixun head-on.
He wanted to bow down and greet him, but Lu Zixun walked past Hua Ruijun with his head held high without squinting, as if Hua Ruijun didn't exist at all.
Looking at the arrogant and arrogant Lu Zixun, Feng Xinming was so angry that he spat on the ground and muttered in a low voice: "You are a guy who fails to accomplish anything but fails a lot. How great is he? Bah!"
Hua Ruijun glanced at Feng Xinming, raised his legs and walked forward.
Seeing Hua Ruijun walking forward, Feng Xinming hurriedly followed him.
Hua Ruijun slowed down when he saw Feng Xinming following him. He turned his head and said, "Hurry back and take your mother to Jinghu Villa in the north of the city. Don't delay on the way. Be quick. Do you understand?"
Seeing Hua Ruijun's solemn expression, Feng Xinming asked nervously: "Sir, what happened?"
Hua Ruijun said: "The emperor has ordered Dali Temple to investigate the matter between Wang Houzhe and Su Xin."
Hua Ruijun only mentioned something, and Feng Xinming immediately understood and said, "Thank you, sir. I'll go back immediately."
Hua Ruijun confessed: "After sending Aunt Man to Jinghu Villa, you should stay there and take shelter there for a while."
Feng Xinming looked at Hua Ruiming with a blank expression, "Master..."
Hua Ruijun looked at the confused Feng Xinming and explained: "If they know Aunt Man's identity, they will also know the identity of your family. They are not afraid of ten thousand, but just in case, so they hide it first."
Feng Xinming suddenly understood, leaned forward and said, "Thank you very much, I understand. Father and the others?"
“Don’t worry about this, I will ask someone to notify Uncle Feng and Xinguang. They will come to Jinghu Villa soon.”
Feng Xinming bowed again: "Thank you very much!"
“Go quickly. If you go out from here, someone may stare at you, so be cautious. When you get home, leave through the tunnel and set the house on fire. Do you understand?”
Feng Xinming nodded and left quickly.
Feng Xinming came out of Prince Xian’s Mansion and rode straight to Wuyi Lane in the north of the city.
Along the way, Feng Xinming thought about Hua Ruijun’s words.
The emperor sent people to investigate Su Xin's affairs, and he would inevitably investigate the people around Su Xin. My mother-in-law was once the person who served around Su Xin. Aniang is their first choice.
How much do they know? Which step will be found?
At that time, after Su Xin died, Su Jinze sent out the people around Su Xin. It was at that time that my mother left the Su family and stayed with her father. Later, they had three brothers and sisters.
Others think that A-Niang is the judge, but in fact, A-Niang is from the Shangguan family.
When Mr. Wang went to Yangzhou to take up his post, the old lady was worried and sent someone to follow him secretly.
With this errand, mom and dad are in love with each other...
Feng Xinming was so anxious that he ran to Wuyi Lane in one breath, opened the door and entered the house. Seeing that everything at home was as usual, he felt relieved and shouted: "Auntie!"
Man Qing was working in the kitchen when she heard Feng Xinming’s voice. She stuck her head out and asked, “Xinming is back, why are you back so early today?”
Feng Xinming tied his horse to the osmanthus tree in the yard and said with a smile, "There isn't much to do today. I asked me to come back first."
Manqing said: "That's good, come over and help me wash the vegetables. Your father and brother will be back soon."
“Okay, here we go.”
Feng Xinming answered Man Qing while looking around secretly.
Feng Xinming entered the room, pulled Manqing and said in a loud voice: "Aniang, let's steam some rice cakes to eat today. Aniang, we are exposed, evacuate quickly!" He said the last sentence in a low voice.
Manqing was stunned for a moment, then understood and said in a cooperative voice: "Okay, you light the fire, and I'll get the rice cakes."
After saying that, Feng Xinming whispered: "Mom, you go first, I will tell you to set fire to the house."
“Okay!” Man Qing nodded and walked inside. "I'll wait for you at the exit."
“Got it, I’ll be right away.”
The kitchen is filled with firewood, all dry wood that is easy to light, so that it can be set on fire when you leave one day.
Feng Xinming lit the fire and watched the flames keep rising upward until it became a prairie fire. Then he got into the cave. After walking for a short distance, Feng Xinmin pressed the button. The tunnel behind him immediately collapsed, blocking the road ahead.
When Hua Da and his people rushed to the north of the city, they saw thick smoke rising from Wuyi Lane, and a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart.
He rode his horse and rushed to the entrance of Wuyi Alley. Junshi came over and reported, "Uncle Hua, the Feng family is in trouble."
Hua Da asked: "Aren't you watching? You knew there was a fire, why didn't you put out the fire?"
Junshi leaned back and said, "I also want to save the little one, but the fire is too big and there is not even a water tank in the yard. How can I save him without water? I am helpless."
Hua Da looked at the house filled with flames and asked, "Is there anyone in the house?"
In a short period of time, the fire became so intense! This was not an accident, someone did it on purpose.
Junshi nodded and said, "Yes, just a quarter of an hour ago, Feng Xinming came back on horseback, and Feng Xinming's mother-in-law was also at home."
"There's a fire and no one has come out?" Hua Da asked, looking at the house.
Junshi shook his head and said, "The younger ones have been staying here and haven't seen anyone come out."
Hua Da's heart sank and he said, "The people have escaped. Hurry up to the horse and carriage store and see if Feng Guangsheng is still there?"
Junshi bowed down and got on his horse, "Uncle Hua, the little one will go right away."
Hua Da waved his hand and warned: "Be careful!"
Junshi rode away.
Hua Da turned around and ordered Qingye: "Go to Feng Xinguang's cloth village and see if he is there?"
Qingye bowed and responded, "Okay, little one, let's go right now."
Hua Da looked at the house with the blazing fire. Neighbors were carrying water in basins and buckets. Men and women were walking through the streets, pouring basins of water on the fire...
Hua Da noticed that the small courtyard was very spacious, and the house was surrounded by gardens with all kinds of flowers and plants... This house was actually a small courtyard with no surroundings.
It seems that the other party has been prepared for a long time. If the matter is exposed, it will be burned to the ground.
Feng Xinming would not be stupid enough to burn himself to death. Before anyone came out, there must be a tunnel in the house, and they left through the tunnel.
Hua Da looked around. He wanted to see where the other exit of the tunnel was.
On the other side, Feng Xinming took Man Qing out of the stable of a house across the street, and then went to the upper room.
Under the verandah at the door of the upper room, the people sitting and drinking tea saw them. They stood up in surprise, bowed towards the two of them and said, "Aunt Man, Second Master, what happened?"
Feng Xinming said: "The emperor ordered the people at Dali Temple to investigate the matter between Su Xin and Mr. Wang. The master asked my mother and I to take refuge at Jinghu Villa in the north of the city, and trouble Mr. Ming to see me and my mother off."
After hearing this, Mr. Ming immediately responded: "Okay, you two, wait a moment, we'll get down and drive over."
After saying that, Mr. Ming went inside first, picked up his riding whip and went to the backyard. After a while, a very ordinary-looking carriage came over.
Feng Xinming helped Manqing get into the car first, and then followed him.
Manqing asked worriedly: "Where are your father and brother? What should I do?"
Feng Xinming comforted him: "Don't worry, grandma, my master asked us to go there first. Dad and brother, my master will let someone notify them, and they will go directly to Jinghu Villa."
Man Qing's heart dropped, "Okay, thank you very much, Master."
Shunfeng's carriage drove past Baihuajing Shop. After receiving the report from Hua Ruijun's messenger, Feng Guangsheng turned around and told his subordinates a few words before walking towards the backyard.
Feng Guangsheng looked around and ducked into the firewood room.
After Feng Guangsheng entered the firewood room, he entered the yard next door through the secret door of the firewood room, which was a grocery store next to the carriage and horse lane.
There was no one in the backyard of the grocery store at this time. Feng Guangsheng walked to the small kitchen built against the wall with ease. Similarly, he walked through the secret door of the kitchen.
Enter the backyard of Wangmingxuan Rouge Shop.
The old man who was cleaning the courtyard stopped and bowed when he saw Feng Guangsheng: "Master Feng, where are you going?"
Feng Guangsheng said: "My master asked me to go to Jinghu Villa. Lao Zhang, please see me off."
Lao Zhang put down his broom, nodded and said, "Okay, little one, let's go and catch the car."
Soon, a carriage wrapped in navy blue muslin drove out of Wangmingxuan's backyard and almost collided with Junshi who was riding over.
Junshi apologized profusely to Lao Zhang, "I'm sorry, I was a little impatient and almost bumped into my husband. I'd like to apologize to my husband here."
Lao Zhang was anxious to see Feng Guangsheng off, only nodded slightly to Junshi, and then drove away.
Junshi looked at the carriage leaving, dismounted, led the horse to the main street, entered the teahouse opposite the carriage shop, sat opposite Junxin and asked, "How is it? Is Feng Guangsheng in the shop?"
Junxin looked up at Junshi and asked, "Why are you here? Feng Guangsheng is in the shop, and he just sent his guests out."
Junshi picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip of tea. He turned to look at the traffic and said, "The Feng family house in Wuyi Lane was flooded. The fire was very strong. Feng Xinming and Man Qing did not come out.
Uncle Hua said that these two people might have escaped. Let me see if Feng Guangsheng is still in the shop. "
“Escaped?”
Junshi nodded, "Yes, escaped! Where are the people following you? Why are you the only one here?"
Junxin said: "Shi Nan and Shi Sheng are in the alley in the backyard of the carriage and horse shop. Didn't you see them when you came from there just now?"
Junshi shook his head, raised his head and looked at the carriage shop again, "I didn't see them, so I went to the shop to have a look. If Feng Guangsheng had received the letter, I would have probably escaped."
Junxin nodded, "Okay!"
Junshi went downstairs, left the teahouse, and crossed the street to the carriage shop. After a long time, Junshi returned to the teahouse and said to Junxin: "Let's go, he is no longer in the shop."
Junxin frowned, "I didn't see him come out? How did he leave?"
Junshi shook his head, "I don't know. Let's go back and report to the princess."
Hua Yanran listened to the reports of several people and put her head on her hands in deep thought.
She thought her reaction was fast enough, but unexpectedly, Hua Ruijun was faster than her. It seemed that she had met her opponent.
Inexplicably, Hua Yanran was a little excited. She liked to fight against powerful opponents.
Su Er said: "Hua Ruijun should not be underestimated. He is well-informed and responds quickly. His people are also very capable of action."
Han Shi asked: "Princess, what should we do next?"
Hua Yanran thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, just a few soldiers and generals are gone. Hua Ruijun is still there. Let's keep an eye on Hua Ruijun."
