298 Killed, Uncle Nine, did you guess it?
Nothing major happened in the court during this period. There were only a few cases of corruption and dereliction of duty. Several minor officials were thrown into the Blood-Clothed Guards, but Lu Shaolin did not rush to try them. He just locked them up in jail without even punishing them.
The Emperor's birthday is approaching, and it is not a good time to see blood. Besides, people from Xiling, Nanling and Beiling are all watching. If a big case were to occur at this time, it would be a scandal. The Emperor would never allow such a thing to happen.
We are all smart people. We have a standard for what can and cannot be done, and we will never cross the emperor's bottom line.
Feng Qingchen learned from Zhai Dongming that the minor officials who were imprisoned this time were of various kinds, and almost everyone from the six ministries had joined the Blood-Clothes Guards. Although they seemed unrelated, they were actually involved in many secrets.
Feng Qingchen knew that it was the Wang and Xie families who took action. Only by starting from small and inconspicuous places could they catch the other party off guard. At the beginning, she only asked Wang Jinling to take action, but did not ask Wang Jinling how to do it, nor did she plan to intervene. She did not understand politics and the art of power.
Wang Jinling and Xie Jiading would not cause any big trouble before the emperor's birthday and make the emperor unhappy. When everyone's attention is on the emperor's birthday, they would quietly weave a net and wait for the right time to catch them all in one fell swoop.
Finally hearing the good news, Feng Qingchen smiled from the bottom of his heart and prepared to go to Sun Zhengdao's house this afternoon, firstly to thank him for his help, and secondly to remove the stitches for Madam Sun.
During this period of time, rumors were rampant and she had been staying at home without leaving. She was not afraid of the rumors, but that did not mean she was not hurt. She did not want to go out and be criticized, nor did she want to face the possible troubles. She simply stayed at home and arranged to build a cenotaph for her parents.
Seeing Feng Qingchen's brows relaxed, Zhai Dongming breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally completed Wang Jinling's entrustment and comforted Feng Qingchen.
During this period, Wang Jinling has been very worried about Feng Qingchen, but because of the rumors, it is not convenient for Wang Jinling to come to Feng Mansion.
You have to know that Wang Jinling and Feng Qingchen also have a little story. If he were to go in and out of Feng Mansion at this time, rumors might appear the next day: Feng Qingchen is hooking up with the Ninth Prince and Wang Jinling, greedily taking the two most outstanding men in Dongling into her skirts.
If this were true, then Feng Qingchen would become the public enemy of all the noble ladies in the imperial city.
The last time the rumor of Feng Qingchen losing her virginity before marriage spread, at most everyone would despise Feng Qingchen, despise Feng Qingchen, and look down on Feng Qingchen; but this time was different. When the Ninth Prince's words "Feng Qingchen and I were together last night" spread, Feng Qingchen became the public enemy of half of the women in the imperial city.
Feng Qingchen had a bad background and a bad reputation, and most importantly, she was once the fiancée of Prince Luo. Such a woman actually caught the eye of the Ninth Prince, causing the Ninth Prince to disregard moral ethics and publicly acknowledge this woman. This made the noble ladies in the imperial city feel very embarrassed, and these women wished they could eat Feng Qingchen.
If at this time, rumors were spread that the eldest son often visited the Feng Mansion and was infatuated with Feng Qingchen, then Feng Qingchen would have offended the other half of the women in the imperial city, because the two men she hooked up with were both top-notch.
Seeing that Feng Qingchen was in a better mood, Zhai Dongming brought up another matter: "By the way, Qingchen, my grandfather asked me to ask you, when are you free? I want you to go to Prince Su's mansion and cure his facial pain completely."
"Okay, I'll go tomorrow morning." Feng Qingchen agreed without thinking. She had previously revealed to Zhai Dongming that Prince Su's facial pain problem could not be cured by acupuncture alone. A small incision had to be made in his mouth to block the painful nerves.
Operating a knife on the body is no trivial matter. Even though Prince Su had spent his entire life in military service and had countless wounds on his body, he was not willing to operate a knife on himself easily. Not everyone has the courage of Doctor Sun and Madam Sun.
Zhai Dongming received the confirmed news and did not stay in Feng Mansion for long. The emperor's birthday was approaching, and gifts from all over the country were coming into the city one by one, so he and his group were busy.
Feng Qingchen sent someone to deliver a letter to the Sun Mansion at noon, and took a carriage to the Sun Mansion in the afternoon. However, he did not expect that as soon as the carriage entered the street, it was blocked by hundreds of beggars.
When the carriage stopped, hundreds of people swarmed forward and surrounded the Feng Mansion's carriage, forcing Feng Qingchen and his party to be unable to move forward or backward. The stench of these beggars could be smelled even from inside the carriage.
After the group of beggars surrounded the carriage, they did not take action. Instead, they banged on their broken bowls and sang a tune mocking Feng Qingchen.
Feng Qingchen, who lost her innocence, lived in the world without shame, seeking wealth and fame, and was fond of men...
It is said that Feng Qingchen lost her virginity before marriage, and not only lived in the world as a shameful person, but also entangled with men. She had no sense of shame and no manners. A woman like her should end her relationship early and not pollute the eyes of others.
There was banging and singing, and soon a crowd of people gathered to watch. After hearing the catchy tune, many of them began to learn it and comment on it.
"Miss?" Two maids were sitting in the carriage, looking at Feng Qingchen with some concern, fearing that she would do something bad.
"I'm fine." Feng Qingchen's face was calm, his black eyes were unperturbed, as if he had expected it.
"Send people to the yamen and the governor's mansion. I want to report to the authorities." Feng Qingchen had no intention of getting off the carriage. She was no longer the Feng Qingchen she used to be. She had no power or influence and would do everything by herself.
She is the daughter of a marquis. When she encounters such a thing, she no longer has to fight with her bare hands, and she no longer has to compromise. She has nothing to say if the emperor bullies her, but it is not so easy for these people to bully her.
Anyway, her reputation is already as bad as it can be, so she doesn't care if she gets another bad reputation.
"Yes." The two maids did not ask Feng Qingchen the reason, but just followed her orders.
The guards that Feng Qingchen brought with him were all recruited from Prince Su's Mansion, but even such people had no way to squeeze through the crowd, so they had to ask Feng Qingchen for instructions again.
"Kill! Whoever dares to block my way, kill them all. I will be responsible if anything happens." Feng Qingchen didn't even frown.
Today's incident was obviously organized and premeditated. She didn't know who the masterminds were behind the scenes, but it didn't matter. She didn't mind killing a chicken to scare the monkeys. Didn't the Ninth Prince tell her to trust him? She believed in the Ninth Prince now. Even if she, Feng Qingchen, killed someone in the street, the Ninth Prince could protect her.
Of course, it doesn’t matter if she can’t protect herself, she has her own ways to protect herself.
I just don't know if the Ninth Prince had anticipated that she would encounter such a situation. I think it should be predictable. If she can guess it, how could the Ninth Prince not know it.
"But?" The guard was a little embarrassed. Even the arrogant and domineering royal family would not dare to kill someone in the street.
"What's there to complain about? Don't forget that I am the daughter of the Marquis of Loyalty appointed by the Emperor himself. These rioters stopped and insulted the Marquis's daughter in the street, and even if I killed them, no one would say a word against me." This is the benefit of privilege. If common people offend the royal family and the nobles, it is a capital crime.
Although the Loyalty Marquisate was not a noble family, it was a second-class marquisate personally conferred by the emperor, second only to the four great dukes. Even if her Feng family was weak and had no real power, and only a nominal title, as long as she had this title, she would be the daughter of a powerful person, and it would not be against the law to kill someone who offended her. At most, she would be impeached by the censor...
