Chapter 214 The truth is often too absurd to be true



Taifu Feng did interrogate He Changyu, because after Madam Feng asked the imperial physician to see Feng Yu, the imperial physician said that Feng Yu was in good health, but she had been taking musk, safflower and other medicines for many years, which made it difficult for her to get pregnant.

Feng Yu said that she knew these two things would affect fertility and had never eaten them.

Everyone can see how much Feng Yu wants to have a child. She would never harm herself. In addition, He Changyu has a mistress outside, so it is hard not to suspect that he is the one who is interfering.

Taifu Feng was very dissatisfied with He Changyu, so he had him tied up and tortured him. He originally just wanted to vent his anger and ask He Changyu why he treated Feng Yu like that. However, he didn't know that He Changyu was a coward. After being tortured, he was afraid that Taifu Feng would kill him, so he confessed a shocking secret.

Back then, Feng Lin, the son of Grand Tutor Feng, claimed that he was killed by bandits, but in fact he died in the Lingchuan River and floated down the river. He was picked up by the father and son of the He family. After seeing the ornaments on Feng Lin's body, they identified his identity and sent him back.

Taifu Feng also investigated the He family at that time. The He family was a small family in Lingchuan. They had no support in the court and no relationship with the Lu family. It was purely a coincidence that they picked up the person.

After confirming that the He family had no conspiracy, the Feng family naturally had to repay the favor. The favor of returning the corpse back home could not be done casually, so Taifu Feng promised Feng Yu to He Changyu.

This marriage was arranged to repay a favor, and secondly, the Feng family took the opportunity to place people in Lingchuan to find out the truth.

He Changyu has been like a duck in water in the Feng family for so many years. In addition to his sweet talk and acting, the most important thing is that the He family has been helping to investigate the cause of Feng Lin's death.

However, Master Feng never dreamed that the murderer had been right in front of him all these years.

The He family is indeed innocent, but He Changyu is not the real He Changyu, Li Changshun is his true identity.

He was the son of an aide to the Shangguan family. Because he looked very similar to He Changyu, they killed He Changyu and replaced him with Li Changshun.

The real mastermind behind all this is Shangguan Run, the head of the Shangguan family.

Shangguan Run was once a classmate and good friend of Taifu Feng. They were both companions of Emperor Taizong and later followed the late emperor. Their relationship can be said to be very good.

When the late emperor decided to appoint a Grand Tutor, he was hesitating between the two of them. But at that time, Shangguan Run was caught hanging out with a prostitute, causing an uproar in the city. Shangguan Run's reputation was damaged, so the late emperor decided to give the position of Grand Tutor to Feng Yuan.

Shangguan Run missed the position of Taifu because of his poor work style, which led to the decline of the Shangguan family's status. For this reason, he has always resented Taifu Fengyuan.

Shangguan Run knew that Taifu Feng was involved in the revival of the imperial examination system, but everyone else died while he was safe and sound. This made Shangguan Run very dissatisfied. He kept an eye on him secretly, and after Feng Lin went out, he sent people to follow him and then killed him.

During the operation, Shangguan Run accidentally discovered that He Changyu and Li Changshun looked similar, so he came up with a plan to use Li as a substitute.

Li Changshun was asked to pretend to be He Changyu and pretend to find Feng Lin's body. He's father was shocked by Feng Lin's identity and did not notice his son's abnormality for a while. The father and son went to Beijing together to deliver the body.

Shangguan Run originally just wanted Li Changshun to keep an eye on him to see if Taifu Feng could find out about him. He never expected that this clever plan was not discovered by Taifu Feng, and he even betrothed his granddaughter to the impostor.

Li Changshun and Wu Xiuyun had already secretly decided to spend their lives together. Although he was forced to marry Fengyu, he knew that everything was fake, so he tried every means to prevent Fengyu from having children.

As the Feng family trusted him more and more, he also developed ambition. He wanted to obtain more resources from the Feng family and climb higher, so he began to attack Feng Yin and tried to kill him and destroy him several times.

However, he didn't expect that his plans always failed due to some strange reasons. Instead, Feng Yin discovered his identity and he was ultimately defeated.

This is a family scandal, and Master Feng doesn't want to tell anyone, but Song Junzhan is different. He can't let his best friend's only blood relative misunderstand that he is a traitor.

He was foolish and blind to recognize the sinister villain, but he never betrayed his best friend.

It’s a pity that Shangguan Run died two years ago. Tutor Feng finally learned the truth about his son’s death, but his enemy was no longer around.

Before he could deal with Li Changshun and the Shangguan family, something happened to the emperor, and the situation has been out of control ever since then.

After Master Feng finished speaking, he sat on the ground dejectedly.

After hearing this, Song Junzhan was speechless for a long time.

The truth is often too absurd to be true.

Shangguan Run could never have imagined that a single trick of his could deceive Master Feng for so many years, and Master Feng could never have dreamed that the murderer he had been searching for so hard would be held in high esteem by him and treated as a guest of honor.

What’s even more infuriating is that the truth has come out. Shangguan Run is already dead, just like Song Junzhan knew that it was Lu Cang who killed his family. Now that Lu Cang is dead, the Lu family has also collapsed.

Years of hatred, with nowhere to vent, is a feeling more painful than not knowing the enemy.

Xiao Li asked Wang Changwen, "You just said you knew all this?"

Wang Changwen: “…”

If he dared to say that he knew this, Taifu Feng would definitely tear him apart. Although he was a few years younger than Taifu Feng and was not afraid of him, he could not take the blame.

"I only know that Shangguan Run seems to have taken action, but I don't know the details. I don't know anything about He Changyu and Li Changshun."

"Your Majesty..." Song Junzhan turned around with his eyes lowered. The shadow of his eyelashes covered all the expressions in his eyes, and the whole person looked particularly vague and gloomy: "Let's go."

Now that I have the answers, it is time to leave.

"His Majesty."

Taifu Feng suddenly called out to her. He sat on the ground and looked up, his eyes dark, "Your Majesty, how do you intend to deal with me?"

Xiao Li naturally had a way to deal with them, but not now.

However, Taifu Feng seemed to have seen through her: "I am willing to take everyone in the Feng family away and never ask about the affairs of the court again."

He deliberately emphasized the word "everyone" to avoid making his intention too obvious.

"Keng."

Someone knocked lightly against the pillar and quickly hid to the side.

Xiao Li glanced at him and asked, "Master Feng, do you mean you won't submit to me?"

Grand Tutor? No, he is no longer Grand Tutor.

Feng Yuan's eyes gleamed with brilliance: "I am old now and want to return to my clan to spend my remaining years. The Empress can't force an old man like me to do this."

In the final analysis, this is what I mean. My Feng family cannot stop the empress from ascending the throne, but we Feng family members are unwilling to work for a woman.

Xiao Li thought he was very naive. "I won't kill you, not because I can't, and not because I tolerate you because of someone else, as you imagine. If you insist on challenging my temper, then I'll start with you."

Xiao Li raised his hand and someone immediately pulled out the person hiding in the corner.

The other party did not resist, but his face was a little pale. After being pulled out, he knelt on the ground obediently: "Your Majesty, I, Feng Yin... kowtow to you."
