Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 212 Domineering Restart!sober avoid standing in line

"What? Got struck to death by lightning?"

When Xia Bingzhong got the news, his expression was disbelief.

Immediately thought of something, said angrily:

"That bastard is too deceitful!"

The bastard he was talking about was naturally Feng Yibo.

Xia Bingzhong didn't even need to check, he could conclude that the matter was not that simple.

And besides Feng Yibo, he couldn't think of any possibility!

Even the little eunuchs who followed him all said that Xia Shouzhong was killed by drought and lightning.

Xia Bingzhong still didn't believe it.

No matter how Xia Shouzhong died, he has already confirmed it.

This matter must have something to do with Feng Yibo!

Here, Xia Bingzhong was so angry that he slapped the table.

On the other side, Feng Yibo left Jia Lian with a complicated face behind, and went home happily.

He first affirmed the power of pedal landmines, and then told Liuqiu to continue the research and development of firearms.

Because neither soil mines nor soil grenades are mass-produced yet.

Due to the limitation of technology, they can only be produced on a small scale.

Later, he proposed the possibility of gunpowder particles, and at the same time handed over a structural diagram of a gunpowder gun.

In fact, Feng Yibo also knew the general composition of a kind of smokeless gunpowder.

But the nitroglycerin in it is too unstable.

With the current level of technology, he dare not let people try it easily.

What's more, there are no large-scale thermal weapons in the world now.

Even if there is only black powder, it is enough for a moment.

There's no need to pull out the good stuff all at once.

At the moment, he kept some earthy grenades for self-defense.

He also told Gouzi to give Wang Xifeng the right to control 10 taels of silver according to the treatment of the main house.

It was a disguised recognition of Wang Xifeng's status.

At the same time, he wrote to Keqing to appease him.

After sending Gouzi away, Feng Yibo took a beautiful bath.

He hugged Baochai on the hot kang and began to kiss me.

The next day, after the morning court, another eunuch blocked the way.

"Feng Duwei, Eunuch Xia has a request."

Still a familiar quiet room, a familiar face.

But this time Feng Yibo looked relaxed, stepped forward and casually cupped his hands and said:
"Eunuch Xia hasn't slept well recently?"

Xia Bingzhong has been thinking hard for the past two days, how to reverse this situation.

It's a pity that he didn't come up with a good idea when he thought of the dark circles under his eyes.

At this moment, he was staring at the heavy bags under his eyes, with a hint of danger in his eyes.

He stared at Feng Yibo, and growled in a low voice:
"Feng Duwei, what do you mean?!"

At this time there were only two people in the quiet room, Feng Yibo was no longer polite this time.

He sat down opposite Xia Bingzhong with a big horse and golden knife, and said with a half-smile:

"what do you mean?"

Xia Bingzhong was a little annoyed when he heard the words, and shouted in a cold voice:

"It won't be interesting for you to pretend to be stupid now!"

"Ha ha!"

Feng Yibo laughed lightly when he heard this, and just looked at Xia Bingzhong like that.

But don't pick up.

Seeing his appearance, Xia Bingzhong was even more furious.

He was not going around the corner, and asked directly:

"Why did you kill Xia Shouzhong?"

"What did I kill? What are you kidding, Eunuch Xia?"

How could Feng Yibo admit it?
Some of these things, you can feel free to doubt.

But don't expect confirmation from him.

After categorically denying it, he pretended to be puzzled and said:
"As we all know, Eunuch Xia was struck to death by lightning!"

As he spoke, he grinned at the corner of his mouth, and with a bit of sarcasm, he asked:
"Could it be that Eunuch Xia thinks that I'm a god and can control thunder?"

He doesn't admit it, but he can't make the other party feel that it really has nothing to do with him.

In short, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false, and it will never be caught.

Xia Bingzhong knew it must be Feng Yibo's method, but he didn't know how he could control Lei Ting.

He could only point at Feng Yibo powerlessly, and said angrily:
"you!"

"Snapped!"

Feng Yibo gently knocked off the hand pointing at him, and said with a smile:
"Don't be like this! Eunuch Xia's death is a good thing for you and me."

He closed his eyes contentedly and took a breath.

Looking at Xia Bingzhong again, he said:
"At least you don't have to worry about leaking the news anymore, do you?"

Xia Bingzhong frowned immediately when he heard the words, and asked:

"Are you really having an affair?"

"Of course not!"

Feng Yibo is not stupid, let alone admitting this matter.

Hearing this, he restrained his smile and said seriously:

"But no matter how innocent a person is, he can't stand the scourge of rumors!"

Having said that, the smile on his face appeared again, and the whole person became relaxed, saying:
"So, now that the source of the rumors is gone, we can feel more at ease, can't we?"

This was intentional, to let Xia Bingzhong know it was him, but he couldn't confirm it was him.

Feng Yibo said it easily, but Xia Bingzhong didn't feel relaxed at all.

His eyes narrowed slightly, flashing a dangerous light, and said word by word:
"Don't you want to deal with our family too?"

He is also one of the sources of rumors!

As soon as Feng Yibo's words came out, he had to become sensitive.

"Eunuch Xia, you have said that the matter of eunuch Xia has nothing to do with me, why don't you believe it?"

Feng Yibo heard the words, but he didn't accept his criticism, but continued to talk nonsense:
"I think eunuch Xia must have collected too much money and angered someone's ancestors, so he sent down thunder to prevent future troubles."

The pot was thrown on the ancestors of Rongguo!
Speaking of this, Feng Yibo laughed again and said:
"Eunuch Xia is not that kind of person, so you don't have to worry about Tianlei, do you?"

Compared with before, these words really reveal the meaning of threat.

It also made Xia Bingzhong's heart tense!
He was only thinking about it before, Feng Yibo killed Xia Shouzhong.

At this time, thinking of that unpredictable method, I also feel a little scared.

If this "Heavenly Thunder" is used on him, how should he guard against it?

Thinking of the big hole that was blown out at the scene, and the broken limbs that were indistinguishable from people and horses.

Xia Bingzhong couldn't help feeling chills down his spine.

He even started to regret provoking Feng Yibo.

Seeing his eyes shrinking, Feng Yibo was obviously a little frightened.

Immediately began to appease, said:
"Actually, this is also a good thing. Now that Eunuch Xia is gone, I don't have to worry about any more gossip."

If you can't solve the problem, solve the people first.

This is the solution Feng Yibo came up with.

After Xia Shouzhong, the key witness, was wiped out, even if someone came forward to testify, saying that the three of them did not come back together.

Also dead without proof.

Feng Yibo can directly countersuit the other party, because he has ulterior motives!
Xia Bingzhong already understood at this time that he had completely lost the initiative in this matter, and could only threaten:
"Do you think our family really dare not confess to the Holy Spirit?"

Before, he was taken advantage of by Feng Yibo because he didn't dare to confess.

At this time, even the most important witnesses are gone, and it seems a bit strong on the outside.

Feng Yibo squinted at him, and said with disdain:
"What confession? I think it has ulterior motives!"

As soon as these words came out, Xia Bingzhong still gritted his teeth and said:
"Slandering you is of no benefit to our family, do you think the Holy Majesty will believe it?"

"What do you mean? Maybe the father-in-law just sees Jia's family as unhappy, or sees me as unhappy."

How could Feng Yibo be frightened by him? Hearing this, he smiled disdainfully, and said grimly:

"Or maybe it's because the Holy Majesty is unhappy?"

"presumptuous!"

Xia Bingzhong was startled immediately.

This is blood spurting!
But seeing Feng Yibo sitting up straight and unhurriedly, with the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, he said:
"You said, what if I said that the person who slandered me is the loyal prince? Will the Holy Majesty believe it?"

"Snapped!"

When Xia Bingzhong heard it, he became anxious immediately, he patted the table and said:

"You fart!"

"Oh, don't say that about yourself!"

Seeing that Xia Bingzhong was in a panic, Feng Yibo relaxed even more, and said quietly:

"Eunuch Xia should know that if rumors spread, who will benefit in the end?"

Originally, Emperor Jingshun had no heirs, so Prince Zhongshun, his younger brother, became the sole heir.

According to whoever gains the most suspicion, Prince Zhongshun will definitely not be able to escape.

Speaking of this, Feng Yibo leaned forward slightly, forming an oppressive posture, and said:
"So, who is the one who slandered me? Do you still need to ask?"

Thinking that if things really develop like this, then I am afraid that my end will be extremely ugly!
If Feng Yibo's "disaster" is really used.

That's not what Xia Bingzhong originally thought, it's just as simple as losing the emperor's trust!

This is to kill him!

"you you!"

"Snapped!"

Shaking, Xia Bingzhong pointed at Feng Yibo again, but Feng Yibo knocked him down again.

"I don't like being pointed at very much. I hope Eunuch Xia will respect my habits."

Feng Yibo laughed, and then said:

"Okay, I was just joking, why should my father-in-law take it seriously?"

Xia Bingzhong looked at Feng Yibo with a complicated expression, not knowing what he wanted.

"That's the end of it."

Feng Yibo suppressed his smile, took out a stack of money orders from his arms, and said:
"This 1 taels is enough to give your godson a decent burial, right?"

Xia Bingzhong looked at the money order on the table, was a little dazed for a while, and said hesitantly:
"you you……"

"It's almost done. I have never missed your benefits. Why make it too ugly?"

Feng Yibo put away all his frivolity, restored his former refined appearance, and sighed:

"If you hadn't done too much this time, why did we come to this?"

As soon as these words came out, Xia Bingzhong couldn't help but sighed.

Things have developed to this point, why hasn't he regretted it?
"Now, the gap between us is gone, let's start again, okay?"

Feng Yibo asked earnestly, then pushed the money order forward, and said:
"This is 1 taels, buy you peace of mind."

Even if Xia Bingzhong received some tribute occasionally, he never gave so much at one time.

You know, even if someone asks him to buy an official, it's not all his own.

There are also many people who want to share the benefits.

How much he cherishes his feathers, and he is not as blatant as Xia Shouzhong.

Therefore, 1 taels is really a lot for him.

In other words, used to keep a secret without evidence.

In addition, Xia Shouzhong's life.

It's all enough!
"Ugh!"

Xia Bingzhong sighed heavily, but did not hesitate in his hands.

He moved the money order to his side and said:
"It seems that Feng Duwei is still a clear stream in the court!"

This was Xia Bingzhong's last compliment when the two met for the first time.

Now again, there are at least two meanings.

One is to agree to start over on behalf of him, just like meeting for the first time.

The second is to feel that Feng Yibo is no longer the former, the little scout who can be manipulated by others.

Hearing this, Feng Yibo understood that he was willing to start over.

Immediately smiled and said: "It seems that Eunuch Xia will take care of him in the future."

After Feng Yibo left the palace, he let out a long sigh of relief as soon as he sat in the carriage.

This matter is finally over!

If it weren't for the consequences of this matter, it would be too serious and too urgent.

Feng Yibo was actually unwilling to use such a thunderous method.

Not to mention anything else, at least someone will be killed by lightning in the future.

Both Jia Lian and Xia Bingzhong would acquiesce that he did it.

Fortunately, none of them have any evidence, let alone the reason.

This is the crushing of knowledge, making it impossible to guess.

Life has returned to its former peace, and Feng Yibo also has leisure time.

The wedding vacation is over, and the honeymoon period is also over.

Feng Yibo began to rearrange his wives and concubines.

Three concubines, or one person per day.

Baochai two days, this is the privilege of the wife.

Rest was increased to two days.

It's not that Feng Yibo can't.

It's just the temptation of weekends, no one can refuse.

During the period, Feng Yibo, the Jia brothers, and Feng Ziying had a gathering once.

Discussed the business of the Four Seas Trading Company.

It's a pity that only Jia Zhen is still the same, and can still chat and laugh with Feng Yibo.

As for Jia Lian and Feng Ziying, both of them are always a little evasive.

Jia Lian hesitated to speak many times in private, and the emotions in his eyes were extremely complicated.

Some fear, but also some gratitude.

The thing to be afraid of is naturally the unpredictable means.

Thankfully, this method was used for him twice.

He didn't know the entanglement between Feng Yibo and Xia Shouzhong, so naturally he could only accept this love.

It's a pity that even without Xia Shouzhong's pressure, the situation in Rongfu didn't get any better.

Rongfu Gongzhong was about to be wiped out because of the construction of the Grand View Garden.

Not to mention disasters in various manors, prices in the capital also skyrocketed.

It made Rong Mansion even worse.

A lot of Jia Lian's dividends from Sihai Commercial Bank have been subsidized.

Just barely able to maintain daily expenses.

It has not been confirmed that Yuan Chun is pregnant.

At present, it is only circulated in a small range in the palace.

The Jia family knew a little bit, after all Mrs. Wang could enter the palace once a month.

But no one dares to spread the secrets of the palace.

Otherwise, you can take the opportunity to gain momentum and collect some floating money.

Jia Lian is here because of Xia Shouzhong's matter, and he doesn't know how to get along with Feng Yibo.

As for Feng Ziying, there was a gap because of the frightened horse.

Obviously there is no way to go back to the previous pure relationship.

He intentionally wanted to introduce Feng Yibo to some noble people many times.

If the two become allies, they can also restore the old good.

But Feng Yibo resolutely rejected them all.

Feng Yibo was living a good life, so he naturally didn't want to get involved in the battle between the two nobles.

He is soberly aware that he can now be a civil servant in peace.

Instead of choosing to stand in line, be a real noble.

Even after the team, there will be more support, and there will still be opportunities to contact the power in the army.

But as a result, it will fall into multiple party struggles.

Of course, he didn't want to, but someone did.

For example, someone who has a good relationship with Feng Yibo was sentenced to Wang Jiren by the Imperial Hospital.

He left Jia Lian's relationship and went to Liaodong to join Prince Teng.

Both civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty knew that Emperor Jingshun had invented a decree to reprimand him.

Therefore, there is a high probability that Wang Ziteng will have to express something, and he may take the initiative to attack once.

It's better to use a beautiful victory instead of the previous petty fights.

Come to wash away the shame of the Tatars' customs and soldiers besieging the capital.

Wang Jiren went here because he wanted to take the opportunity to gain a reputation as a former soldier.

When I come back, I can ask for a seal and give my children and grandchildren a future.

Sure enough, not long after he went north, there was an urgent military situation in Liaodong.

Unfortunately, it was not Wang Ziteng's good news.

It was the native barbarians of the Chahan tribe of the Tatars, and the Subahai of the Taierning tribe, who aggressively invaded Liaodong!

These two Tatars belong to the royal family descended from the little Mongolian prince.

Especially the Chahan tribe, which is directly related to the little prince.

The news that Tatar's iron hoof violated the border again spread quickly.

Even if it is far away in Liaodong, it makes people in the capital panic.

For a while, there was a feeling of "the mountain and the rain are about to come and the wind is full of the building".

At the same time, prices in the capital skyrocketed.

It made the people in the capital, who were already a little unsustainable, worse.
