Spoiled Concubine: The Warlord is not to be messed with - Chapter 350
Li Zhengfeng’s story of cracking a shocking case in three hours has already spread all over the streets of the capital.
It has become the most popular book in the teahouse, which is recited with relish after tea.
Emperor Fengmo personally awarded Li Ge Lao’s death free gold belt and the ranking of three generations of ancestors.
This is the glorious moment of Lord Li Zhengfeng, a generation of honest officials.
However, there is no absolute thing. There will be bad officials if there are good officials. Bad officials have been hated by the people since ancient times.
But still that sentence, people are separated by their belly. You can’t see whether a person is good or bad from the surface.
For example, Cheng Dashan, formerly known as Cheng Yi, is the grandson of Cheng Zihe, the founder of the capital.
Since the first emperor ascended the throne, Cheng Zihe has made great achievements in fighting against rebellion and chaos in addition to the vassal kings.
Therefore, the former Emperor gave Cheng Zihe a golden belt to avoid death and an imperial edict such as sun’s hereditary title in his later life.
Cheng Yi is the eldest grandson of the Cheng family. He promised to do more good deeds abroad according to the wishes of his ancestors. He was called Cheng Da good man by the people, not Lord Cheng.
But this is Cheng Da’s good man, but he has an unknown side
On this day, Yun Xueyao came to the imperial study to look for Feng Mo, who was fascinated by a chapter of memorials.
I heard the little eunuch outside report: “empress Yun has an audience.”
Feng Mo hurriedly got up to meet Yun Xueyao. Before she saluted, she was helped up by Feng mo.
Seeing that the people in front of me were more and more beautiful, the trouble of sealing the street just now was cleared away. Feng Mo asked, “I don’t know what advice does lady Yun have here?”
Yun Xue Yao was still playing with himself, and he replied, “to play your majesty, your concubine comes here. I hope your majesty will reduce the tax. The plague and flood in the South will make the people miserable. What should the court do?”
After listening to Yun Xueyao’s words, Feng Mo nodded and said, “it’s reasonable. I’m also thinking of doing this. Let’s reduce the tax in Jiangnan for three years.”
Yun Xueyao was so happy that she nodded her head to thank her. But seeing Feng Mo’s eyebrows locked, he seemed to have something on his mind. He asked again, “Your Majesty seems to have something on his mind.”
Feng Mo nodded and handed the memorial in his hand just now. He said, “that’s what bothers me.”
Yun Xueyao took over the memorial. The big words “Cheng Yi” on it were striking. It was about impeaching Cheng Yi for corruption and extravagance.
After reading it for a long time, Yun Xueyao closed the memorial and said, “Cheng Yi’s concubine knows that he is called a great good man by the people. According to the theory, these things shouldn’t be right. Besides, the memorial is anonymous. I’m afraid there’s something strange.”
Feng Mo nodded, looked at the memorial and sighed: “Cheng Zihe, the ancestor of Cheng Yi, was the founder of the country and followed the emperor to create a foundation. It is reasonable to say that this memorial should not be ignored. However, if all the above are true, then this matter should be enforced impartially.”
After a pause, Feng Mo continued: “whether there is or not, the matter is by no means groundless, but who should be sent to investigate? This has become a difficult problem.”
Yun Xueyao nodded. She knew the difficulty of the matter. She asked, “how’s Li Zhengfeng and Li Ge?”
Feng Mo shook his head and said, “he can’t. his qualifications are not enough. He’s not enough to find Cheng Zihe’s home. When Cheng Zihe followed the emperor, Li Zhengfeng was just a scholar.”
Yun Xueyao nodded and asked again, “what about Yang Shen?”
Feng Mo smiled, played Yun Xueyao’s forehead and said, “according to his temper, after seeing the memorial, he can directly split Cheng Yi. It’s too reckless to do it.”
“Then only Yao Yao can say that, right?” Feng Mo’s face was calm at first, but after a while, when he thought of Yun Xueyao’s words, it became more and more gloomy
If no one can do it, isn’t Yao the only one?
“Ha ha, sure enough, I only know you. I want to check the tax. Will you give me a chance?”
Yun Xueyao used her first killer mace to be coquettish. Although she didn’t hammer the big villain’s chest with a small fist, Feng Mo felt that her heart was about to collapse.
How could Yao Yao be so cute, especially when she toots her mouth.
However, Feng Mo hesitated at the thought of meeting danger. In fact, Yun Xueyao’s power is obvious to all. The most important thing is that she is smart and flexible, but she is a woman. Feng Mo can’t imagine if she meets danger.
Maybe Yun Xueyao knew what Feng Mo was hesitating about and said to Feng Mo, “Feng Mo, just let the Imperial Guard protect me. Don’t worry, I will never give you trouble. I will do what I said.”
“Yao Yao, can I go with you?”
“What nonsense are you talking about? You are the emperor. What you have to worry about is national affairs. This kind of thing is left to me. I want to help you share your worries.”
It’s not just talk. Yun Xueyao is always serious and down-to-earth. She will put her life first, because she knows that she is not alone now. There is a Fengmo who needs to be accompanied. They are husband and wife and a community of interests, so protecting herself is protecting Fengmo in disguise.
“It’s a blessing for the people to have a queen like you and a wife like you.”
While Feng Mo was pleased, his heart was still sour. He really didn’t want Yun Xueyao to go to such a dangerous place. He just wanted to put her under his own eyes and look at her well. There must be nothing wrong.
“Silly Feng Mo, this is what I should do.”
Yun Xueyao smiled happily, not only because Feng Mo agreed to let her investigate the case, but also because Feng Mo believed in her. This belief was happier than any reward Yun Xueyao received in her life.
The next day, Yun Xueyao set out. She changed into a simple man’s dress and came to the restaurant where Cheng Yi often came to eat.
After a while, when there were many people, Cheng Yi came to dinner. Although his family had money, his clothes were coarse linen. He was thin and had a lot of white hair in his black hair.
At first glance, this man was very honest and didn’t look like a corrupt official, but Yun Xueyao didn’t take it lightly and kept staring at Cheng Yi.
“Boss, it’s the same today. Just one boiled noodles.”
Cheng Yi’s angry voice sounded. The boss said, “great good man, otherwise I’ll add you an egg today. You’ve done too many things for us. You paid for the repair of the roads on the street. What do we want to do for you?”
The boss told Cheng Dashan that he thought Cheng Yi was a good man. Taking out more than half of his family’s silver was to do good for the people, and the people sent him a lot of things, which they didn’t want at all.
Just like now, Cheng Yi laughed and said with gray hands, “these are what I should do. It’s my hometown originally. There’s nothing to contribute to our hometown. There’s no need to praise me. There’s also the boss. I don’t eat eggs. You’d better keep them.”
“Great good man, I don’t want your money. Just eat. This is my heart.”
The boss put the eggs in front of Cheng Yi. Cheng Yi said with a dull face, “you can’t take them for free. You can keep them for business. I’ll leave after this meal. The riverbank in the west of the city needs to be repaired. I can’t waste time. The big guys are waiting for me.”
Cheng Yi hurriedly finished, picked up his chopsticks and wolfed down the noodles in the bowl. With an amazing speed, he ate them quickly.
Yun Xueyao said with laughter, it’s less than five minutes.
Seeing that Cheng Yi is about to leave the restaurant after paying the bill, Yun Xueyao reacts from her surprise and asks the guards in the palace to pretend to be thieves to steal Cheng Yi’s money.
Yun Xueyao made a gesture, and the bodyguard immediately understood, so he bowed and bumped into Cheng Yi when he deliberately passed in front of Cheng Yi.
“Ouch.”
Cheng Yi fell to the ground. How did the young man walk rampantly? Why do you have to hit me if you don’t go on such a wide road?
But suddenly he thought of a possibility. He immediately touched his pocket and found that his purse was missing.
“Somebody, catch the thief. This man stole my things.”
Cheng Yi’s cry for help made the people hurry around. They are all people who have received Cheng Yi’s favor. Now Cheng Yi has something to do, so he must go out.
So a group of people rushed up to get Cheng Yi’s purse back.
“Stop, thief, put things down.”
“Thief, come quickly and catch the thief.”
Of course, among them, there was Yun Xueyao. Yun Xueyao appeared on the route they had discussed before, and then waited for the arrival of the bodyguard. Seeing the bodyguard’s figure, Yun Xueyao immediately pretended to hear the people’s help. He knew that this man was a thief.
“Bold, you dare steal under the sun.”
Yun Xueyao accused the bodyguard. The bodyguard said with a fierce face, “don’t talk nonsense. If you want a wallet, you have the ability to take it from me.”
The bodyguard rushed up to fight with Yun Xueyao, but it was impossible to really fight. He was subdued by Yun Xueyao two or three times.
Yun Xueyao stepped on the bodyguard under his feet, “hand it over. You’re really impatient.”
The bodyguard nervously begged Yun Xueyao for mercy and cried, “please spare your life, childe. I had to do this as a last resort. My mother is ill now. She has no money to ask for a doctor. Our family is poor. Childe, please surround me. I dare not do it again.”
“How do I know if what you say is true or false? If what you say is false, won’t you become a person who helps bad guys?”
Yunxueyao saw with sharp eyes that Cheng Yi, who was helped by others, came over, so she reminded the bodyguard to be more pitiful. It’s best to let Cheng Yi talk to them.
“It’s true, childe. My mother had three children. My eldest brother died in the battlefield. My second brother was killed alive in order to beg for food. Now I’m the only strong man in the family. My mother is still lying in bed. She can’t move all over. Now she’s not clear…”
The bodyguard said and then shed tears. Yun Xueyao was very happy. She didn’t expect that the bodyguard’s acting skills were so superb. She must write him down in the future.
“You must apologize for stealing…”
Yunxueyao pretends to speak loudly, trying to attract Cheng Yi’s attention.
Sure enough, Cheng Yi’s voice sounded again, “girl, forget it. The young man is also a poor man. He took this road because he didn’t have food. He didn’t do it on purpose.”
Cheng Yi came to the bodyguard, helped him up and said, “young man, look at your young age. You have strength when you hit me. In that case, would you like to follow me?”
Hearing Cheng Yi’s words, the bodyguard, under the sign of Yunxue Yayao, said, “really? Thank you, sir. I’m really sorry. I didn’t mean to steal your purse.”
“It’s all right. If you know your mistake, you can improve it.”
Cheng Yi said that he took 50 liang of silver out of his pocket and asked the bodyguard to go home to treat his mother. He would come back to him after arranging his family.
“What’s your name, young man?”
Cheng Yi asked.
“The little one is called Liu CAI.”
“Yes, I’m Cheng Yi. Come to me directly in the future. My home lives across the street. It’s very close. If you don’t know, you can ask everyone. They all know where my home is?”
Cheng Yi laughs, without the slightest indignation of being stolen.
The people praised Cheng Yi and said, “I didn’t expect Cheng Dashan to treat a thief like this. He not only gave him money, but also gave him work.”
“Yes, fortunately, the young man met Cheng Yi now. If it were someone else, he would have been cut off by the government.”
“Cheng Dashan, we all admire you.”
