Chapter 53: The Truth About Assassination
After a moment of silence, Elder Lin Ge said, "Don't meddle in the affairs of the imperial court. Grandfather can protect Beihou's mansion for a day when he is in the imperial court."

"Yes, I'm sure I'll listen to you." Xie Xun chuckled, "Grandfather, I forgot to tell you about one thing. The palace cuts expenses, but the East Palace relies on officials to make money, and kills people to silence them. What should I do?"

"Is there any evidence?"

"The eldest sister-in-law entrusted me to take care of Fengfu before leaving Beijing. That day Fengyu went to Yiling Village to collect rent and caused a riot. Li was cheating, raising grain prices, buying low and selling high. His son is a member of Donggong She. The money also entered the East Palace. The East Palace was afraid that the matter would be revealed and its reputation would be damaged, so it sent out assassins that night to kill people on Zhuangzi. The hidden guards were secretly trained by Lin Shangshu and only obeyed orders from the East Palace. Unfortunately, that day Lin Shangshu Xiao happened to be on Zhuangzi, and the secret guards were afraid of hurting Lin Xiao and would not be able to do business, so they gave up the assassination. Gaoping county magistrate didn't dare to take care of this matter, Feng Yu asked to go to Zhenbeihou's mansion, and this investigation found Donggong and Lin Shangshutou Come on." Xie Xun said with a smile, "Both sides are family members, I really don't know how to deal with it, and I will ask my grandfather to decide."

Lin Ge's brows were angry, "Understood."

Concise and concise, but Xie Xun didn't want to stop, "Ningzhou is in constant war, and there are also military disasters in the south of the Yangtze River. The natural disaster in Yanyang has just passed, and every household has reduced their clothing and food, but the East Palace is collecting money to win over courtiers and kill people. The luck of the three girls of the Feng family Alright, if the East Palace keeps pestering me, the Hou Mansion will protect me, and this matter will become a big deal."

"Zhixu, the crown prince is your cousin's husband." Elder Lin Ge sighed helplessly, "Your cousin is eight months pregnant and is about to give birth."

Xie Xun smiled evilly, "The prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people."

Old Lin Ge's expression was solemn, Xie Xun accepted it as soon as he saw it was good, and it was most appropriate to hand over this matter to his grandfather. The prince was afraid of the Lin family, so he would not do it easily.

Before Xie Xun left, he bowed to Elder Lin Ge, and said solemnly, "Grandfather, I wish you to mediate more for Ningzhou in the court. If Ningzhou is broken, there will be no eggs under the cover of the nest, and the blade will see blood. Everyone must die!"

Xie Xun brought Fei Ying, and Nuan Yang came out of Lin's mansion from the side. Lin Shangshu's house was just across the street from Lin's mansion. Lin Yuyan didn't want to be sent to the village in the suburbs, so she cried and made noise at the door. Lin Sheng and Mrs. Lin reprimanded her, Lin Yuyan cried out in embarrassment, still urging Fengyu to stab herself and frame her.She was arrogant and domineering, and she often lied to cover up, neither Lin Sheng nor Mrs. Lin believed her.

Xie Xun passed by and took a few glances, not paying attention.What Lin Yuyan did at the riding and archery banquet was disgusting, staying away from the capital is good for everyone!
"Nuanyang, go to Fengfu, I want to see her!"

"Yes!"

With everything done, it's time for Feng Yu to fulfill his promise and give him [-] shi of food.This time to prepare food and grass, he robbed all the granaries of several big families, but they dared not speak out.Ever since Feng Yu promised to give him five thousand shi of grain, Xie Xun discovered that the third girl was a mobile granary.

Nuan Yang was considerate in her work, and found out Feng Yu's granary. Feng Yu loves gold and silver treasures, and enjoys making money all her life. If you really love money, you can make money. Su Yuejiao's business in Beijing has increased several times in profit under her management. .She also doesn't like depositing bills in Yinzhuang, except for exchanging them for gold and silver, it's food.

Feng Shu has been preparing military rations for Ningzhou, and the granary is built in Jiangnan, which is the hometown of rice and grain.This time, Xie Xun was able to prepare food and grass for three months in Ningzhou, one was to rob the granary of the Zanying family, and the other was Fengshu's storage in the south of the Yangtze River for many years.

He didn't expect that Fengyu's granary in the middle of the capital had a two-month reserve of grain and grass for the Ningzhou army. During the severe drought in summer, the imperial court opened a granary to relieve the disaster, and the three girls never touched their own granary. This should be her emergency for Feng Shu .

There is such a younger sister who is prepared for danger in times of peace and likes to store grain.It's no wonder that Feng Shu dared to hand over the property to her when she was young, so Xie Xun planned to catch the third girl for food.

Feng Yu obviously wanted to recuperate from her injuries, so she couldn't make an appointment outside, they could only meet in the plum garden, Zhang Da guarded the yard, and Fei Ying stood guard on the eaves.Xie Xunzi arrived as promised and brought the truth about Zhuangzi's assassination.

"Prince?" Feng Yu didn't expect that the one who caused this murder was His Royal Highness, the crown prince who is full of virtue and benevolence. "Just for the money, are you afraid of ruining my reputation and want to kill me?"

Xie Xun said, "For the killers sent by Lin Shangshu's mansion, fortunately Lin Xiao was present, and they were afraid to shoot. Otherwise, you would have died. Before you die, you will drag me as a scapegoat, right?"

Feng Yu smiled softly, "Young Master is overthinking, my life is at stake, and I didn't pull you to prevent disaster."

"Because you haven't reached the gate of hell, you dragged me to death. If I didn't die, I would be your nightmare." Xie Xun knew Feng Yu's temperament well, "The third girl is smart, so naturally she won't do anything that hurts others." Self-interested things, if one day you will definitely die, and there will be no worries about future troubles, you will definitely pull me to die for you."

"The princess is your cousin, you could have lied to me about the assassination, why did you tell me the truth?"

In the fragrant boudoir, the beauties under the lamp are like flowers and jade, with bright colors, but the blade is hidden in the soft words. Xie Xun looked at the golden hairpin on her head, and then to the gold and silver clothes and skirts. Unidentified dark.

"Fengyu, no matter how much you criticize the situation in the business field, you are nothing more than an ant in his eyes. The king is above, and the minister has the way. Even if I tell you the truth, what can you do?" Xie Xun said lightly, "Besides, If this Marquis took your food, he wouldn't be double-faced."

"If the young master had a minister in his heart, he would not beat the third prince with his hands, nor would he tell me the truth." Feng Yu took the wine pot from the stove and poured Xie Xun a glass of warm wine. She looked at Feng Yu With ice-cold eyes, he smiled and said, "Then please take care of me, Young Master, and let His Royal Highness give up the idea of ​​killing me."

Xie Xun looked at the wine in the glass with a smile that was not a smile, and drank it down, "Don't worry, he won't send someone to kill you again, so I should give you the [-] shi of grain you deserved."

"The food is ready and ready to take at any time." Feng Yu called to Zhang Da, "Zhang Da, come and hand over the food to the young master."

"Yes!"

Xie Xun knew that Fengyu would retaliate, so he reminded her, "You and the crown prince have very different identities. This Marquis advises you not to act rashly, so as not to cause trouble."

"The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, let alone an unknown person like me. Don't worry, the young prince. His Royal Highness, the crown prince, spare my life. I am grateful to Dade and burn incense and pray for him every day."

Xie Xun sneered, and then said with a pleasant face, "What order will the third girl have in the future? Send someone to deliver a letter to the Hou's mansion. As long as you can afford the food, I will go through fire and water for you, and I will die."

"Okay." Feng Yu pretended to be happy, smiling like a flower, "In the future, I will definitely chatter about Young Master."

Want to lie to me for money, dreaming!
