Chapter 1015: The Imperial Concubine is truly a deity!
Luo Qinghan stood up, walked quickly around the screen and entered the inner room.
The first thing he saw was Xixi sitting on the ground rubbing her butt.
When Xiao Xixi saw him coming, she immediately stretched out her hands and hummed.
"hug."
Luo Qinghan walked over, picked her up and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"
Xixi wrapped her arms around his neck, buried her face in his arms embarrassedly, and muttered softly.
"I accidentally rolled off the bed while sleeping just now, and my butt hurts so much."
Although she tried to lower her voice, the court officials outside still heard it clearly.
The court officials fell into silence, all looking dazed.
While they were racking their brains to figure out what the imperial concubine was going to do, she was actually sleeping!
It would have been fine if she just wanted to sleep, but she actually fell off the bed because she was sleeping so hard!
Could it be that the Imperial Concubine came to the Imperial Study every day not to find an opportunity to interfere in government affairs, but to sleep here? !
Is this reasonable to say? Is this reasonable?!
For a while, the court officials could not tell whether it was more worrying that the imperial concubine was interfering in government affairs or that she rolled on the floor while sleeping in the imperial study.
Luo Qinghan put Xixi on the couch, covered her with a quilt, and had someone lay a thick wool carpet on the floor, so that even if she fell to the ground again, it would not be too painful.
He returned to the imperial study and continued to discuss state affairs with court officials.
The court officials displayed extraordinary professional ethics, quickly forgot what had just happened, and threw themselves into their work.
After they finished their work, they stood on the steps outside the imperial study, looking at each other, their expressions indescribable.
Finally, someone sighed quietly and said with emotion.
"Our Imperial Concubine is truly a deity!"
…
To be on the safe side, Shang Kui brought more people with him when he went to Fufeng City this time.
Wen Jiucheng didn't want to alert the enemy, so he suggested entering the city in disguise.
Shang Kui received instructions from the imperial concubine and was ordered to follow the command of Wen Jiucheng for this operation. He immediately accepted the proposal.
They disguised themselves as a caravan and entered Fufeng City with a large amount of goods.
The process of entering the city was smooth and did not attract anyone's attention.
Fufeng City is the largest city in Lu'an County, and the county governor's office of Lu'an County is located here.
Shang Kui and his group found a big inn in the city to stay.
While ordering food, Wen Jiucheng asked the waiter about the Fang family.
Fang Wujiu had said before that his hometown was in Fufeng City. Although his parents were no longer around, he still had an uncle living in Fufeng City. I believe that when he came to Fufeng City, he would definitely visit that uncle.
Wen Jiucheng planned to go to Fang's house first to inquire and see if he could find any clues about Fang Wujiu.
The waiter said, "There are many families with the surname Fang in this area, but the largest one lives on Yangliu Street in the east of the city. They specialize in jade and are said to have a big business. I also know some of the other families with the surname Fang. I wonder which one you are looking for?"
Fang Wujiu never mentioned his parents' specific names, so Wen Jiucheng had no way to find out and could only try his luck.
"My friend left Fufeng City 20 years ago. Logically, his family should have lived in Fufeng City 20 years ago. Also, something happened to his family before and several people died."
He spoke vaguely, but the guy remembered it all at once.
“That should be the Fang family on Yangliu Street!
Twenty years ago, the master of that family was out doing business when he unfortunately encountered bandits. Not only did he die, but his goods were also stolen.
That incident caused a big stir and many people in the city knew about it.
But I was still young at that time and didn't know it very clearly. Our shopkeeper knew it more clearly.
Wait a moment, I'll go call the shopkeeper over."
The guy was quite enthusiastic and quickly called the shopkeeper over.
When the shopkeeper heard that they were asking about the Fang family, he was a little skeptical at first. But after receiving a reward of an ingot of silver, his doubts disappeared and he enthusiastically told them everything he knew.
"After Mr. Fang passed away, Mrs. Fang couldn't bear the shock and fell ill.
Her son was too young to support the family business, so she had to ask her brother-in-law and his family to help manage the business.
As a result, all the family property was taken over by my brother-in-law's family.
Mrs. Fang and Mr. Fang were kicked out of their home. They had nowhere to go and had to live on the streets.
Mrs. Fang was already very ill at that time, how could she withstand such torture?
She didn't last long before she died of illness.
Poor little boy Fang, he was only four years old, still just a child, and he lost his parents one after another.
In the end, I could only guard my mother's body all by myself."
I guess the young master Fang the shopkeeper mentioned is Fang Wujiu.
Wen Jiucheng imagined the look on the face of his senior brother, who was only four years old, guarding his mother's body. Even though he was not one of those people who were sad about the passing of time, he couldn't help feeling sad at this moment.
I didn't expect that the senior brother, who is usually calm and composed, had such a tragic experience in his childhood.
Wen Jiucheng asked, "Then what? How is that young Master Fang?"
The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "I don't know. I heard that he knelt beside Madam Fang's body for a day and a night, and then he disappeared. Madam Fang's body also disappeared. No one knows where he went."
He paused and added, "That child was born pretty, maybe he was kidnapped and sold. What a sin."
Wen Jiucheng secretly rejoiced that fortunately his senior brother met his master.
Shang Kui, who had been listening quietly, couldn't help but interrupt.
"It was tragic enough for Madam Fang to lose her husband, but her brother-in-law and his family took advantage of the situation to seize the family property. Why didn't Madam Fang report it to the police? And why didn't anyone else in the Fang family stand up and speak for justice?"
He was a typical military commander, with all the chivalrous spirit that other military commanders had. He couldn't stand bullying of the weak, so his tone was inevitably a bit aggressive.
Fortunately, the shopkeeper was not a petty person. He did not get angry when being questioned, but smiled good-naturedly.
"Sir, it's easy for you to say that. Madam Fang is just a woman who knows nothing and has no capable people to help her. How can you expect her to fight with her brother-in-law?
As for the other members of the Fang family, they had already been bribed by the brother-in-law.
They have gained actual benefits and their pockets are filled with money, so why should they speak up for a pair of orphans and a widow?
Sir, don't be angry, this is how the world works, money can make the devil work, let alone people?"
Shang Kui was so angry that his chest heaved violently. He wanted to refute but didn't know how to start. He felt more and more depressed and finally could only punch the table.
Wen Jiucheng thanked the shopkeeper and ordered a table of dishes.
Shang Kui was still in a bad mood, so he simply turned his anger into appetite and started eating.
After eating and drinking, Wen Jiucheng asked the Yulin Guards to go to the city to inquire about the old immortal, and he and Shang Kui went to Yangliu Street together.
…
Good morning everyone!
It’s the end of the month again, and the monthly ticket will expire if you don’t use it!
