272 Corruption is a normal thing

Lu Shaolin didn't say anything. Feng Qingchen knew that this old fox was waiting for her to speak, but she didn't. She didn't know what had happened yet, so it would be unnecessary for her to worry.

Picking up the tea at hand, Feng Qingchen took a sip to suppress the shock in his heart.

Lu Shaolin had been observing Feng Qingchen the whole time. He thought that after he asked this, Feng Qingchen would panic and ask questions anxiously, but he didn't expect that apart from the initial shock, she didn't show any anxiety at all. She was calm and composed, which was not what she should be at her age.

Lu Shaolin secretly admired her in his heart, unwilling to be defeated, so he asked instead of answering: "Since Miss Feng is not here for the Sun Mansion, then why is Miss Feng here?"

No one comes to the temple without a request. Nine out of ten people who come to the Lu Mansion have something to ask of him, and that is Feng Qingchen. Most people who come to the Lu Mansion will never see him.

Feng Qingchen put down the teacup and smiled helplessly: "Master Lu, if I say that I have nothing to do and come to visit the Lu Mansion, and give you a little gift, would you believe me?"

This is really true, but Lu Shaolin definitely doesn't believe it. If it were her, she wouldn't believe it either. This is just too much of a coincidence.

As for the Sun Mansion that Lu Shaolin mentioned, Feng Qingchen vaguely guessed that it should be Sun Yijin's home. However, since the person fell into Lu Shaolin's hands, from Lu Shaolin's tone, and knowing the relationship between her and the Sun family, he would definitely not make things difficult for the Sun family, so she was really not in a hurry.

"Believe it." Lu Shaolin believed that his eyes would not be wrong. Feng Qingchen did look ignorant just now.

"Mrs. Lu has placed the gift for Lord Lu in the study. Lord Lu, remember to check it." As for what the gift was, everyone knew it. Feng Qingchen pointed it out specifically to tell Lu Shaolin that she remembered Lu Shaolin.

Ahem… It was inevitable that this kind of thing would be awkward when brought up by a little girl. Lu Shaolin’s face flushed, but he was a man who had experienced many ups and downs, so he quickly calmed down: “Miss Lao Feng is worried about you.”

If Feng Qingchen didn't come, he would also come. As a man, once he has tasted that kind of thing, how could he be willing to give it up? It's just that he couldn't find a suitable reason.

Today he was still thinking about asking for a small favor by using the matter of the Sun Mansion, but Feng Qingchen took the initiative to come to his house and asked for nothing, which made Lu Shaolin feel very relieved.

"How dare Qingchen neglect Lord Lu's affairs?" Feng Qingchen said calmly, not taking the initiative to mention the affairs of the Sun Mansion.

Lu Shaolin cursed Feng Qingchen in his heart for being more and more cunning, but thinking of Feng Qingchen's favor, he took the initiative to speak: "Miss Feng, the Blood Robe Guards invite Lord Sun to have tea today."

The tea of ​​the Blood-Clothed Guards is not good. Generally, no one who drinks the tea of ​​the Blood-Clothed Guards can get out alive, except Feng Qingchen and her mother.

"What's that?"

"Embracing." Lu Shaolin felt much more relieved when he heard Feng Qingchen's question.

Feng Qingchen was not as indifferent as she appeared to be. Based on his understanding of Feng Qingchen, she was a very sentimental person. Sun Yijin died because of her, and she would definitely not sit idly by and watch anything happen in the Sun Mansion.

"Corruption? Just for such a small matter, he was invited to the Blood Robe Guard? Which official is not corrupt these days?" Feng Qingchen said sarcastically: "Sir Lu, are there any officials in Dongling who are not corrupt?"

Cough cough... Lu Shaolin almost choked to death on the tea.

Why did he feel that Feng Qingchen's words were full of hidden meanings? He didn't know if there were any officials in Dongling who were not corrupt, but he was definitely one of the corrupt officials.

"The money Lord Sun embezzled was money for disaster relief in Jiangnan." It is normal to embezzle money in officialdom, but the prerequisite is to do it cleanly. It is even more normal to embezzle money for disaster relief, after all, the money for disaster relief is the bulk of the money.

"Lord Sun embezzled disaster relief money? What is his official position?" This is a troublesome matter. There is so much money to embezzle, but he embezzled money for disaster relief. Of course, this is not the point. The point is that it was found out.

Generally speaking, once such a thing was exposed, regardless of whether it was true or not, the emperor would confiscate the property and exterminate the entire family to appease the public anger.

"Minister of the Ministry of Revenue." Lu Shaolin stared at Xiang Fengqing. He wanted to see if Feng Qingchen understood.

Feng Qingchen's eyes widened: "What? Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue? When did he get promoted?" Half a year ago, Lord Sun had no official position and he couldn't be promoted that fast even if he took a rocket.

Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, what a Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue! It is obvious that someone has set a trap for him to fall into.

Lu Shaolin nodded approvingly. Feng Qingchen had hit the nail on the head. It seemed that she also understood that this matter was aimed at Sun Yijin's father and had been arranged a long time ago.

"Two months ago, as soon as I took office, I was responsible for the money for disaster relief in Jiangnan. This matter was reported by the Duke of Zhenguo, and there is a lot of evidence." Lu Shaolin did not hide anything and told everything he knew.

"Duke Zhenguo? You are such an unruly guy. You think you are easy to bully me?" Feng Qingchen's face darkened, and there was a murderous aura on her body. Lu Shaolin's heart trembled when he saw it: This Miss Feng is really like General Feng, she is intimidating without even getting angry.

"The Duke of Zhenguo brought back a cart of thunder bombs from Lianchen Mountain on behalf of the emperor today." Lu Shaolin knew that Feng Qingchen was not an impulsive person, but he still reminded her that the Duke of Zhenguo was in the prime of his life and it would be unwise to confront him head-on.

"What? Thunder Bomb? Did Li Xiang take it out?" Feng Qingchen was really shocked. She originally thought that if she crippled Li Xiang, he wouldn't be able to cause any trouble in a short time, but she didn't expect...

Nowadays, no one is dumber than anyone else, it was she who looked down on others.

"Yes, not many people know about this matter." As the leader of the Blood Robe Guard, Lu Shaolin has his own channels.

Feng Qingchen nodded, indicating that she would not say anything nonsense. Although she was very dissatisfied with Li Xiang, she would not let Lu Shaolin find out. After all, Lu Shaolin was the emperor's man.

"Thank you, Lord Lu, for your reminder. Qingchen now knows what to do." Feng Qingchen stood up and bowed to Lu Shaolin to express his gratitude.

"Miss Feng, you are too kind. It's just a small favor." Lu Shaolin quickly stood up and turned his body to the side, refusing to accept the gift. Feng Qingchen did not force him, "Sir Lu, Sir Sun's daughter saved my life. Sir Sun is in the Blood Robe Guard, so please take care of him. Sir Sun is old, and I'm afraid he can't stand the punishment."

"Miss Feng, don't worry. Lord Sun will not be wronged in the Blood-Clothed Guard. I believe that Lord Sun is not that kind of person." Lu Shaolin knew that Feng Qingchen would definitely work hard for Lord Sun.

He wanted to see how capable Feng Qingchen was and whether he could settle this matter.

"Thank you, Lord Lu. Lord Sun's family must be extremely worried about what happened to him. Qingchen is going to the Sun Mansion. Please tell Madam Lu that Qingchen thanks Madam Lu for her kindness. I won't bother you with dinner. I'll come back another day to apologize."

Lu Shaolin did not try to persuade her to stay, and said generously: "Miss Feng, if the Sun family is worried, you can go to the Blood Robe Guard tomorrow."

That is to say, he allowed the Sun family to visit him in prison.

Feng Qingchen's eyes lit up and he nodded: "Qingchen will remember Master Lu's kindness."

This is definitely a huge favor. You have to know that when she was imprisoned in the Blood-Clothed Guard, even Wang Jinling and Yuwen Yuanhua had no way to visit her in prison.

This Lu Shaolin is an interesting person.

Feng Qingchen got on the carriage and drove straight to the Sun Mansion. Just as Feng Qingchen had expected, the whole Sun Mansion was filled with gloom and sadness. The entire mansion was dead and there was not a trace of vitality.

Feng Qingchen sighed. Why didn't the Sun family think more about it when he was promoted to the position of assistant minister? There will be no pie in the sky for no reason, and even if it falls, it will not fall on your head.

Although she was dissatisfied with the Sun family's carelessness, she thought of Sun Yijin and the fact that the Sun family had fallen into such a miserable state, which was more or less related to her, Feng Qingchen, and all her dissatisfaction disappeared...
