"Master, the eldest prince and Miss Yunniang are here."
Bi Chun reported the situation in a low voice, and the relaxed atmosphere of conversation in the room suddenly disappeared.
"What are they doing here so early in the morning?"
Feng Yuyun was listening to Feng Xiyun talking about something exciting when she grumbled in displeasure, not showing any excitement that the person coming was her brother.
"Master, Master Zhu and Miss Wu have also come to ask for an audience."
Another little palace maid came in and said something to Bi Chun, and Bi Chun reported again.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are these two doing here to join in the fun, so early in the morning?"
Feng Xiyun also started to yell in dissatisfaction.
Ge Wei stood up with some embarrassment, bowed and said goodbye. Anyway, the conversation here had nothing to do with her, and she didn't want to see Zhu Shiqing and Wu Wan. She had promised to draw a map to Yaowang Valley for Fengming last night, and she could take this opportunity to go back and draw it.
Feng Ming naturally understood her and patted her hands to express comfort and support. Ge Wei then left through the back door and invited the four people in.
But this is just a small dining hall. It was already full with six people, and now with four more, it is really "full of seats".
Therefore, the five-member group wanted to get the four people to speak up as soon as possible and get out of here, so their questions were naturally very direct and unambiguous.
"Second brother, what brings you here?"
Feng Heng originally planned to exchange a few business pleasantries, but he didn't expect Feng Ming to be so straightforward. He felt that the eldest princess outside the palace was different from the one inside the palace.
"Oh, that's right. Actually, I went to Qingzhou this time to send Yunniang back to her hometown."
At this point, Feng Heng and Yunniang looked at each other lovingly. After a night, I don’t know what tricks Yunniang used, but Feng Heng didn’t even glance at Wu Wan who was in the same room.
"Oh, what does this have to do with us?"
After what happened yesterday, Feng Yuyun disliked Yunniang very much, and also disliked her brother who forgot his sister for the sake of beauty. Her tone was very cold.
"Yuyun, why are you so rude? How did you develop such a temper after leaving the palace?"
"I……"
"Yuyun has a very good personality, lively, cute and innocent."
Feng Yuyun didn't expect Feng Heng to scold her because of her tone. She was so angry that she wanted to retort but didn't know what to say. Su Wei took over the conversation at the right time, and gained Feng Yuyun's favorability +1.
"you……"
"Hey, second brother, let's get down to business. You said you were going to Qingzhou to send this Miss Yunniang home. What does that have to do with us? Besides, you should be inspecting the salt industry in northern Jiangsu right now. I originally thought you were going to Qingzhou on official business, but now you're leaving your post for this girl?"
Feng Ming didn't know why, but she was particularly displeased with Feng Heng and Yunniang beside him today. Feng Heng's inexplicable accusations against Feng Yuyun made her even angrier, and she spoke in the same blunt and impolite manner.
Feng Heng was speechless. This was different from the scene he had imagined!
He had no choice but to quickly take out the explanation he had prepared long ago.
The general situation is that when he was inspecting salt in northern Jiangsu, someone reported that there was serious corruption in northern Jiangsu, and Yunniang's father was the reporter. He suddenly died a few days after the report, leaving Yunniang, an innocent woman alone and helpless. Therefore, he left northern Jiangsu and sent Yunniang back to her maternal grandparents' home in Qingzhou.
It is said that Yunniang's father was originally a legitimate salt merchant authorized by the government, but he was squeezed out of business due to the massive entry of black salt merchants into the market.
This time, he finally waited for the inspecting officials to come, and then he risked his life to report it, hoping to find a way out for the thousands of legitimate salt merchants in northern Jiangsu. He can be said to be a man of affection and righteousness, but he was persecuted for nothing.
Even the account books he collected disappeared. For a time, even if Feng Heng wanted to crack down on corruption, he had no evidence.
Just when she was frowning, Yunniang suddenly received a suicide note written by her father long before the accident. The letter mentioned that if he was unfortunately in trouble and the evidence was lost, she must go to her grandfather's house in Qingzhou, where he had hidden a spare account book.
Feng Heng, who was worried about not being able to find a way to crack down on corrupt officials, was overjoyed and immediately wanted to send someone to send Yunniang back to Qingzhou and retrieve the account book.
However, before the entire guard team left northern Jiangsu, they encountered several waves of assassinations. Ordinary guards suffered heavy casualties, and Yunniang was almost killed.
In desperation, Feng Heng decided to personally lead people to send Yunniang back to Qingzhou.
It just so happened that Yunniang's mother was a loyal believer of the Tai Shang Sect during her lifetime, so they obtained the help of the Tai Shang Sect and left northern Jiangsu for Qingzhou as elders of the Tai Shang Sect, thus avoiding the eyes and ears of those who were pursuing them.
"Therefore, I have come here today to say goodbye to you. We cannot delay any longer. Every moment of delay will cause the salt merchants in northern Jiangsu to suffer a moment more, and the corrupt officials will enjoy a moment more of freedom."
Feng Heng looked at Yunniang with affectionate eyes and spoke these righteous words in a firm and decisive manner, which seemed incongruous no matter how you looked at it.
"By the way, we're here to say goodbye. I'm planning to take Wan'er to Qingzhou soon. She sneaked out last night and scared me. Later, the doctor took her pulse and said that she might recover slowly in a familiar environment."
Zhu Shiqing's words as he urged Feng Heng to leave also indicated that he was about to leave.
"Oh, by the way, if you are not in a hurry, you can continue to live here. All the servants and stewards will be at your disposal."
Feng Ming knew why he was annoyed when he saw Feng Heng coming. He was going to make her task more difficult!
Although she didn't know why the key event for Yunniang and Wuwan, two potential lucky people, was "going to Qingzhou", but since she had to stop them from going to Qingzhou in order to eliminate their threat, she had to do it!
"Oh right, 0137, the key factor for Yunniang and Wuwan is 'going to Qingzhou', but I can't keep a close eye on them all my life and not allow them to go to Qingzhou, right? Isn't there a time limit or something?"
"Hey, didn't 0137 tell us? We just need to prevent them from reaching Qingzhou within ten days. Counting from yesterday, the master has already successfully prevented them for one day. As long as we can prevent them from reaching Qingzhou within nine days, including today, the threat will be lifted~"
Fengming said that he really wanted to pull out this stupid system and give it a beating.
0137 Shivering and huddled in the corner.
"Okay, you're amazing. Calculate for me how many days it will take to get to Qingzhou from here at a normal speed."
"Master, it will arrive in about 5 days. In other words, you need to slow down the progress by 4 days."
0137 feels that this is such a thoughtful and good system, why doesn’t the owner understand it?
"Okay, you can leave now."
Fengming communicated quickly with 0137 in her mind. In the eyes of others, she was just distracted for a moment.
"Then let's go with you guys. It's nothing to do anyway, and we can all look after each other."
