1670The sound of wind, one after another

The Ninth Prince hurried back to the Ninth Prince's Mansion from the Feng Mansion because he received news that the person who kidnapped Feng Jin was from Liancheng.

"Master, the people of Liancheng colluded with the retired emperor and sent out a group of assassins to kidnap Young Master Fengjin. His whereabouts are now unknown." The man in black said in one breath, then lowered his head and waited for the Ninth Uncle's order.

The Ninth Prince stood with his back to the desk and was silent for a moment before he turned around and said, "Pick up all of Liancheng's connections in Dongling and send the body to Liancheng." If he hadn't taken any action, you would have thought he was easy to talk to.

"I understand."

The Ninth Prince tapped the table, thought for a moment and said, "Send the Black Cavalry to Liancheng and station them there."

"I obey your command." The man in black looked up at the Ninth Prince, and when he saw the Ninth Prince waving his hand for him to go out, he quietly walked out.

The Ninth Prince sat in his study, looking at the piles of official business without any intention to deal with them. He just stared at the table in a daze. After a long while, he stood up and walked out with heavy steps...

The Feng Mansion was brightly lit even late at night. Feng Qingchen sat in the flower hall, entertaining Yi from Shuntian Mansion.

Shuntianfu Yi looked at Feng Qingchen sitting on the main seat, and sighed in his heart that things in the world are unpredictable. The little girl who knelt on the ground back then has become so honored today.

However, Shuntianfu Yi was not jealous or felt unbalanced. He was familiar with Feng Qingchen, and Feng Qingchen was willing to help him. He would definitely not follow in Lu Shaolin's footsteps.

"I have to thank Miss Feng for this matter. If it weren't for the information provided by Miss Feng, I would never have found out that Ji Mo Xuan was related to the previous dynasty." Shuntian Prefecture Yi's words were polite and respectful, without any airs of an official. Feng Qingchen was naturally easy to talk to: "Your Excellency is too polite. This is what I should do. The fact that Ji Mo Xuan was investigated is all due to your wisdom."

Feng Qingchen was unwilling to take the credit for this and was happy to give it to Shuntianfu Yi: "I just don't know if you have found out who is the master behind Ji Moxuan?"

"I am ashamed. The shopkeeper of Jimoxuan is very tight-lipped, and those waiters are unaware of the situation. But please rest assured, Miss Feng. Give me a few more days and I will be able to pry out information about the master behind the scenes from his mouth." Shuntianfu Yi wanted to stand up and apologize, but he felt that this was too much, so he could only sit there awkwardly.

"Thank you for your hard work, my Lord. Qingchen would like to thank you." Feng Qingchen had no intention of embarrassing others, so he stood up and bowed slightly, which shocked Shuntianfu Yi so much that she quickly stood up, turned sideways and said that she couldn't bear it: "Miss Feng, this is what I should do. I don't deserve your thanks."

Feng Qingchen sat down obediently: "My Lord, you love the people like your own children, but it is Qingchen who has gone too far."

Shuntianfuyi laughed awkwardly.

Feng Qingchen continued to ask: "I wonder if you have asked what Ling Tian is doing in Jimoxuan?" Ling Tian is an ambitious person. It is not impossible for him to get involved with Lan Jingyang.

"Every time that Young Master Ling Tian went to Jimoxuan, he was taken care of by the shopkeeper personally. The two of them talked in the back hall, and the waiters didn't know much. They only knew that Young Master Ling would buy a lot of ancient books every time, and each time he would spend thousands of taels of silver. I checked the account book of Jimoxuan, and found that Young Master Ling had indeed bought a lot of books recently." Shuntianfu Yi asked so many questions in just one day, which shows how much importance he attached to this matter.

"Ancient books? Why would a man in Jianghu buy so many ancient books? I haven't heard that Ling Tian has a hobby of collecting ancient books." Feng Qingchen didn't believe it. The woman in Shuntian Mansion was very smart. She understood it immediately and quickly replied: "Don't worry, Miss Feng. I will go back to the government office and ask the shopkeeper something."

"Thank you for your hard work, sir." Feng Qingchen was not polite and clapped his hands. Then a servant brought a plate with a black cloth covering the plate, so it was impossible to tell what was on it.

"This is my hard work fee for my brothers." Feng Qingchen signaled his servants to deliver the things to Shuntian Fuyi. Shuntian Fuyi was so scared that his face turned pale and he quickly waved his hands, not daring to accept it.

"Please accept it, sir. I will have to trouble my brothers later, so it is only right that you buy them some good wine and meat. Giving wine and meat as gifts is too ostentatious. I am a layman, so I will convert it into silver. You don't want it, do you think it is too little?" Although he has the protection of the Ninth Prince, Feng Qingchen also understands that if he really wants his subordinates to work wholeheartedly, he must give them a lot of benefits.

Seeing that she couldn't refuse and seeing that Feng Qingchen was sincere, Yi from Shuntian Prefecture had no choice but to accept it.

There were two purses on the tray, one large and one small. Shuntian Fuyi was a little embarrassed. This was the first time he had accepted a bribe so directly. Seeing this, Feng Qingchen smiled and said, "The smaller one is a gift from your master. You can't refuse it."

Shuntianfu Yi smiled and bowed to Feng Qingchen: "I would like to thank Miss Feng on behalf of my son."

"Your Excellency is too polite. Lin Quan, please see your Excellency off." Feng Qingchen said to the servant holding the tray. This way, Shuntianfu Yi wouldn't have to accept the things in front of her, thus saving his face.

Everyone was very happy. Shuntianfu Yi got on the carriage, opened the big bag, took out the silver bills inside and looked at them. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes: "Miss Feng is really generous."

Five thousand taels is enough to bribe everyone in Shuntian Prefecture. In the future, everyone below will probably be willing to work for Feng Qingchen. Not only will they gain credit, but they will also get money. Anyone who doesn't do such a good thing is a fool.

As for the things in the small purse, Shuntianfu Yi was even more satisfied. Although it was an inconspicuous little jade pendant, people who knew the value of it knew that it was something from the palace, and it would be decent to carry it with you.

He is not short of money, and even if he is short of money, he would not dare to ask Feng Qingchen for money. The things Feng Qingchen gave him are not of high value, but their meanings are different.

Yi and the officials of Shuntian Prefecture benefited from it, so they were more attentive to Feng Qingchen's matter, and even quicker than the people of the Nine Gates Admiral. That night, they organized the officials to search the entire capital for suspicious persons and check all the children under one year old in the capital.

The common people in the capital were very sensitive to danger. When they saw the unusual movements of the police, they knew something big had happened. They stayed at home and dared not go out easily. Even Lan Jingyang, who was far away in the suburbs, smelled danger and cursed the Ninth Prince for his incompetence in his heart, as he allowed a woman to mobilize the police for personal matters and disturb the people in the capital.

After listening to the reports from his subordinates, he knew that the officers had conducted the search very diligently this time, without any trickery or slacking. He thought to himself that something was not good, and after hesitating for a moment, he decided to go to the inner city to inquire about the news.

"Guard it well, don't let anyone in or out." Lan Jingyang instructed his subordinates to keep a close eye on the yard, then changed into ordinary coarse cloth clothes, drove an ox cart loaded with firewood, and headed towards the west city.

Feng Li Qingge was sitting in the house holding Feng Jin. When she heard the noise outside, her dead eyes sparkled again. She carefully kissed Feng Jin on the face, "My little darling, you are really my lucky star. We are lucky today. That big bastard is gone. Be good and I will take you away."

The response to Feng Liqingge was Xiao Fengjin's babbling "toothless" laughter...
