Forensic concubine
Chapter 1098 There may not be a turning point if everything is not in a desperate situation
Sima Xi's investigation went smoothly because of Fu Hongda's behind-the-scenes efforts.
Fu Hongda believed that he had the chance to win, burned the second house to death, destroyed the first house, and the entire Fu Mansion has basically become his one word.
There is only one third room standing in the way.
But Fu Hongshi didn't have any position, especially after the fire this time, he was also intimidated. For several days in a row, he was timid, leaving early and returning late, trying to avoid meeting Fu Hongda.
As usual, Fu Hongda came to the old man's room every day, looking at his father who was lying on the couch with his eyes open but motionless.
Fu Hongda wiped his father's hands and feet carefully, with a concentrated appearance, as if he was really doing some kind of filial piety.
Mr. Fu's eyeballs were moving, they were full of hostility, and the edges of the eye sockets were red.
After Fu Hongda wiped his father's hands and feet, he changed his handkerchief, changed the basin of water, and wiped his father's face.
The old man's eyes were very resistant, as if he wanted to eat people. Fu Hongda smiled when he looked at him, and his tone was a little helpless: "Father, what's wrong? But it hurts you? Where does it hurt, you talk."
Veins popped out of Old Man Fu's forehead, and he stared at Fu Hongda even more fiercely.
Fu Hongda watched and narrowed his eyes: "It seems that the father doesn't want his son to serve you, so why don't you tell me why the son didn't take good care of you?"
Mr. Fu didn't speak. In fact, after waking up, he couldn't speak, and couldn't move his hands or feet. He was controlled by the man in front of him in some way.
"It seems that father really hates his son, and he doesn't even want to say a word with him. Well, then who do you want to talk to? My son will call for you?"
Old man Fu glared at him even more angrily.
"Big brother? Second brother? If it's the third brother, it's okay to say that the third brother should be in the yamen at the moment, and the son can send someone to invite him. But the eldest brother and the second brother, I'm afraid it will not be easy. My father must have heard about it. One day, the mansion ran out of water, and the fire burned for a whole night, burning the second brother to death, but father, guess what, the person who set the fire was actually the elder brother! Who can you tell, it turns out that the oldest brother in the mansion The one who hates the second brother is actually the elder brother? The elder brother is currently being detained by the Yamen. If the father wants to see the elder brother, he may have to wait a while longer until he is beheaded at Caishikou. Father, you can see clearly."
Mr. Fu's raging anger was all stuck in his head, his nostrils were swollen, Fu Hongda was amused by it, got up, and threw the handkerchief into the basin, the splash of water wet half of Mr. Fu's face.
Seeing the old man's distressed appearance, Fu Hongda called out the door: "Come here."
Ah Fu came in soon.
"Wipe the old man well and clean it up. I'm afraid the old man will have to lie in bed for the rest of the day. Let him lie as comfortably as possible."
Ah Fu didn't mind hearing the first half of the sentence, but was shocked when he heard the second half.
After Fu Hongda gave his orders, he left, and Ah Fu entered the inner room. Seeing Mr. Fu's furious but powerless appearance, he sighed silently.
Ah Fu went to wring out the handkerchief, wiped off the water on the old man's face carefully, and looked outside to make sure no one came in, so he whispered: "Everything is not in a desperate situation, it may not be a turning point, this truth, the old man wants to come It's clearer than mediocre people like me."
Mr. Fu was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Ah Fu suddenly.
Ah Fu smiled at the old man, leaned halfway, and whispered in the old man's ear
Sima Xi's actions were very fast, and with Fu Hongda's help behind him, Fu Hongda's investigation of those past events was completed within a few days.
After consolidating the evidence, Sima Xi started busy playing in the capital.
Now that the emperor is seriously ill, and the administration of the government is jointly managed by the crown prince, the seventh prince, and the cabinet, Sima Xi knows very well that as long as his report can leave Qingzhou smoothly, it will definitely appear on the cabinet table.
At that time, Fu Hongmen might really be finished.
Fu Honghao was under house arrest in the government office, but he was not a prisoner, at least not on the surface. Therefore, Fu Honghao still had the right to see his relatives.
Sima Xi would ask about Fu Hong's situation every day, and he had to know who Fu Hong had met with, how long he had met, and the changes in the expressions of the guests before they entered and after they came out.
Sima Xi tried his best to monitor and control Fu Honghao tightly, but this kind of blatant spying obviously made Fu Honghao unacceptable.
After two straightforward reprimands to Sima Xi, Fu Hongwen knew that the matter could not be delayed any longer.
Another meeting with Fa's wife ended. Fu Hongwen sent Mrs. Su to the door. Mrs. Su looked at her husband with a worried face, and said with a handkerchief, "Don't worry, I will take good care of the house."
Fu Honghe patted Su Shi's shoulder, his voice was very soft: "With you here, I can rest assured."
"Then I'll come see you tomorrow."
Fu Honghe nodded, hugged him lightly, and then watched Su Shi leave under the watchful eyes of the six guards outside the door.
This is a meeting that is no different from before. The elder of the Fu family is temporarily staying in the yamen, and the wife in the mansion is worried, so he has been here for three consecutive days, every day.
The yamen servant was already numb, so he didn't report it specifically, but he didn't know that when Su came out of the yamen gate, he didn't go back to the other courtyard immediately, but turned around, avoiding pedestrians, and went to Liulian Lane in seven turns and eight turns.
The wife of a rich family, a lady who is out of tune with the women in the market, appearing in such a place of fireworks is really too eye-catching.
The Su family didn't wander around the main street, but was wary of being followed, while carefully going around the long way, and finally entered the small and well-known gold selling den in Liulian Lane - a little red.
Mrs. Su went to the back door, knocked on the door three times according to the signal given by Fu Hongmen, stopped twice, and knocked again.
After the last knock, the small wooden door was opened from the inside, and a middle-aged man with the appearance of a tortoise buried his head and made a gesture of invitation to Su Shi.
Su Shi had never seen this person before, and said vigilantly, "I'm here to look for it."
"Come in and talk."
The other party's suspicious behavior made Su feel uneasy, but Su still remembered the purpose of her presence here, so she didn't dare to hesitate, and went in anyway.
As soon as Mrs. Su entered, the tortoise poked his head out to look around, making sure Mrs. Su was not being followed, then closed the back door and led Mrs. Su to the front yard.
Su Shi followed all the way, the two walked for about a quarter of an hour, and finally stopped in front of a small courtyard.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, Su Shi saw a familiar figure, she was stunned, and her footsteps stopped in place.
Xun Hong was drinking tea in the courtyard. Hearing the movement outside the door, she raised her eyes and met Su Shi's eyes. She got up first: "I have seen Madam."
Su Shi stared at her, his eyes were tight, and his expression immediately became bad: "It's you? I knew it, how could he be willing to divorce you, and he really put you outside."
Chapter 1099 The ship capsizes in the gutter!
Xun Hong didn't care about the other party's sour and jealous tone, and made a gesture of invitation to him, asking the other party to sit down and talk.
Su went to sit opposite Xunhong grandly, put her hands on her knees in the most noble manner, and cut straight to the point: "You must have heard about Honghao's situation. You should also understand why I came to you."
Xun Hong didn't sit down, but bent down to pour a cup of tea for Su Shi.
Su didn't answer, and said mockingly: "I didn't drink this cup of tea back then, and I don't know how to drink it today either. No matter what your relationship with the master is, there will never be a place for you with me."
When Xun Hong heard the words, she simply put down the tea, raised her eyes, and sat down across from Mrs. Su.
Su frowned, and stood up abruptly from the stool. Obviously, she did not accept being equal to such a firework woman. Such a vixen, taking advantage of her pregnancy, seduced her master outside, and even wanted to enter the house. What an idiot is talking about!
Many years ago, she looked down on Xun Hong, a woman of lowly background, and now, many years later, she has not changed her opinion!
The tortoise-looking man took off the hat that covered half of his face, stepped forward and stood in front of Xunhong, blocking most of Su's staring gaze at Xunhong, and said, "Ma'am, I don't think it's because of these sons and daughters' affair that Madam came here today." Nonsense, how is the master now?"
Su looked at this person, then looked at Xunhong, and sneered: "You really are a lowly person who is unwilling to be lonely, and there are men around you at any time to stand up for you. It's exactly the same as back then."
Xun Hong listened, took a deep breath, and patted the shoulder of the man in front of him: "Zhang Tong, I leave this to you, I'm a little tired."
Zhang Tong glanced at her, he didn't force it, it's better for her to avoid it first.
After Xun Hong left, Zhang Tong sat across from Mrs. Su, and gestured to Mrs. Su, asking her to sit too.
This time, Mrs. Su was not bitter, she sat down directly, and explained to Zhang Tong carefully what Fu Hongwen wanted her to bring.
The two talked for more than half an hour in the small courtyard outside, Xun Hong stayed in the house for half an hour, until Zhang Tong came in and told her that Su Shi had left.
Xun Hong asked: "How is the master?"
"Master wants us to get ready to rob the government."
"Jie Ya?" Xun Hong was taken aback, in disbelief: "Master is leaving Qingzhou?"
"The current situation in Qingzhou is extremely unfavorable to the master. The master needs to find his backer. Now he has two backers. The first is the empress, and the second"
"The Empress?" This Xunhong really didn't know, "Is the master loyal to the Empress?"
Zhang Tong looked at her fixedly and didn't say much.
Xun Hong suddenly understood, it seemed that Fu Hongwen was hiding more than one and a half things from her.
"Sure enough, you are the person the master trusts the most, and you know everything."
Zhang Tong frowned: "As I said just now, now is not the time to care about the love of children. The empress do cooperate better with the master, but now that the emperor is like that, the empress dowager is eyeing him. How can the empress do it?" No one knows if there are any waves, but recently, the master has become estranged from the empress, and it is precisely because of this that he came up with the idea of being with King Quan."
"Then needless to say, the second backer is King Quan?" Xun Hong asked.
Zhang Tong shook his head: "Witchman."
"Um?"
"Master does intend to contact King Quan, but when the news spread to Liaozhou, the person who received Master over there was not King Quan, but the most proud disciple of King Quan. Liaozhou is too far away from Beijing, in the southeast, and close In the frontier, we always thought that the vastness of the land was due to King Quan's extraordinary ability and his soldiers and horses were like gods. Later, we found out that King Quan was only better because he had a group of good disciples, and the Wu clan was the one who really supported him. The huge pusher of King Quan, now, the master has made good contact with them, and the other party is also very optimistic about the master, this time they sent someone to discuss with the master the plan to force the capital."
When he said this, Xun Hong suddenly thought of the snakes in that room, and the snake breeder Fu Hongmei had asked them to take care of.
"Witch clan, I've never heard of this clan."
"This is the most important trump card in the hands of King Quan. How can everyone hear about it?"
Xun Hong nodded: "The master wants to go to the territory of the witches? But, won't King Quan be suspicious? Besides, the master is an official ordered by the court. If he leaves now, won't the court hold him accountable?"
"I have to go this time." Zhang Tong sighed, and regretted that his master capsized in the gutter this time: "Qingzhou governor sent a batch of documents to Beijing, and inside they are all evidence of master's corruption and perverting the law. Once the order is issued, the master will probably say "
"Criminal evidence? How could the governor of Qingzhou have these?"
"Governor of Qingzhou, in the final analysis, is a dog of the Fu family. The Fu family has changed hands. Naturally, someone will dig out the criminal evidence and use his hands to wipe out the master."
Xun Hong gritted her teeth: "Fu Hongda!"
"Anyway, we can't hesitate anymore. We must act as soon as possible. The master said, the sooner the better, there will be more nights and dreams. I suggest that tomorrow we will rob the Yamen. As long as the master is taken out of the city, it will not be so easy for people in Qingzhou to find the master."
Xun Hong hesitated: "Tomorrow, isn't it too soon? If you want to take more than 30 people out of the city within a day, I'm afraid it will attract suspicion."
"Where do you get thirty or so people?" Zhang Tong smiled, "Wouldn't it be burdensome to take so many people away?"
Xun Hong was stunned: "Master won't take away his wives and children?"
Zhang Tong walked up to Xun Hong and said: "If you don't take it away, you won't take it away. When you leave Qingzhou, you will be the only woman by the master's side. Don't you want to enter the house? The opportunity is here!"
Xun Hong looked at him: "Are you sure the master intends to leave alone? That's his first wife, as well as children, biological children, Fu Ziyan is even seriously injured and still awake"
"Xun Hong, you still don't know the master?" Zhang Tong said quietly.
Seeing that Xun Hong really fell silent, with tiredness and chills all over his face, he didn't quite understand, and sighed: "You girls, it's just trouble, those people are better to stay in Qingzhou instead of being dragged down on the road, maybe there will be more than two Good day."
"But when the criminal order of the capital comes down, even if the master is not around, he will definitely be severely punished. The master is the big house. From the day the house is divided, it will be counted as a separated family. The Fu family and other houses may not be separated. Being implicated, but none of the relatives and family members in the big house can be spared, ranging from beheading to beheading."
"So what? Why are you becoming more and more benevolent as a woman?" Zhang Tong became more and more incomprehensible about Xunhong. In the past, this woman was obviously brave and resourceful, but now she is becoming more and more useless. "In short, you are going to Let's do it in the middle of the night tomorrow, understand?"
Xun Hong took a deep breath, remained silent for a long time, and then nodded slowly.
At the same time, Fu Hongda was meeting with the snake breeder in the small attic of Qianxifang.
The snake keeper drank the tea in his hand, blowing the stalk leaves floating on the surface of the tea from time to time, and asked, "Is everything going well with the plan?"
"Of course." Fu Hongda smiled, and said helplessly: "Fu Honghao is also in a hurry, and let Su's female class run errands for him, and he wants to go to Liaozhou. He doesn't even think about it. Whose blessing is it that we have fallen into this situation?"
