Huo Qinghong didn't know that he had a mission until he arrived at the Hou's Mansion, and when he heard that there was a cult in the capital, which might be related to the theft of the Buddhist treasure, Huo Qinghong immediately geared up, "Don't worry, brother, I promise to complete the mission! "
Not long after Huo Qinghong joined the Taichang Temple, the Seven Treasure Stupa was stolen. Although it had nothing to do with him, it still made him very depressed. Now that the case has a clue, he is also very concerned. This afternoon, So he walked the streets and alleys with Wu Xiang and the servants of the government office to look for the nobles of the family who had offered incense in Feiyun Temple.
Starting from Lanzheng Fang, where many royal relatives lived, and walking to the mansions of two old clan relatives, Huo Qinghong first thought of the Zhongyi uncle's mansion, turned around, and led a group of officials to the uncle's mansion.
The Great Zhou Dynasty has been in power for a hundred years, and although the royal family has changed for several generations, the Emperor of the Great Zhou has always been kind to the clan, and those who are related to the royal family can always maintain their glory and wealth.
Loyalty Uncle Feng Qin Zushang was the founding hero of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He was awarded a hereditary title because of his great contributions with the Taizu. However, later on, the Feng family abandoned martial arts and went to literature. In the generation of Feng Qin's father, Feng Qin's father's generation has already declined. Qin is also considered a talented man in Beijing. He originally intended to be an official, but because he married the princess of Anyang, he was not allowed to hold an important position in the court. This Feng Qin is also free and easy. The heart of comprehension and questioning was born.
Huo Qinghong has known Feng Ye since childhood, and because they are both idlers, they can be regarded as friends. However, Huo Qinghong has an elder brother who is in awe of the government and the people. After the envoy, the group of dandies in the capital who had been out of tune all day consciously stayed away from Huo Qinghong, so as not to be taught by Wu Zhaohou.
Even so, the friendship from the early years is still there, and because of this, Huo Qinghong learned the way of the golden ointment. Although the golden ointment came from Feng Ye, Huo Qinghong got used to it. Don't blame him too much.
When we arrived at the uncle's mansion, Feng Ye was the only one in the mansion. After welcoming everyone into the main hall and taking their seats, he realized Huo Qinghong's intentions. He said with some dumbfounding: "Isn't it too common to offer incense? My father, you know, how many seats outside the city are there?" Taoist temples all have enshrined offerings from us. In fact, if you say that this Taoism can really lead to a long life, I don’t believe it. If you want to offer something, it can be regarded as a show of sincerity."
Huo Qinghong had already expected it, and looked around, "Uncle has left the city?"
Feng Ye nodded, "Going out of the city to practice alchemy."
Huo Qinghong frowned slightly, "Don't take medicine indiscriminately."
Feng Ye was a little helpless, "My father is very stubborn, but he also knows some medicine, so nothing serious will happen." After speaking, Feng Ye looked at Wu Xiang, "If you want to enshrine the name outside the city in recent years, I will Let the housekeeper find it."
Wu Xiang hurriedly said: "Please trouble the second son."
Feng Ye got up to order his servants, and soon the steward sent the roster, except for the enshrining details in the Taoist temple, and how much money was spent in which Taoist temple every year, he did not intend to hide it. Seeing Feng Ye's cooperation, Huo Weilou was also happy Relax, soon after night falls, Huo Qinghong should take his leave.
Feng Ye personally sent him out of the mansion, and said as he walked, "What case is this big commotion about? Why do you want you to come with the yamen?"
Huo Qinghong smiled and said: "There are some weird things in the Taoist temples outside the city, but now it involves the aristocratic family in the capital, don't worry, it's nothing serious."
Feng Ye wisely didn't ask any more questions, and directly sent Huo Qinghong to the carriage.
Because there were so many pilgrims in Feiyun Temple, Huo Qinghong and Wu Xiang didn't dare to be careless, they visited Beijing for two consecutive days, and two days later, the news from Qiangzhou, Cangzhou and Zhenxi Army was sent back.
In Wu Zhaohou's mansion, Lu Ke said in a deep voice: "The Wang family of Qiangzhou is even more desolate than expected, and this time we have found a few old members of the Wang family. It was originally the first clan in Qiangzhou, the head of the Qiangzhou family at that time, Wang Qingfu's cousin, who was the prefect of Qiangzhou at that time, twenty-two years ago, his cousin was involved in the ink corruption case, and this matter also Wang Qingfu's father was involved. Wang Qingfu's father was the head of the Qiangzhou Academy. He was almost imprisoned, but later his father hanged himself at home and died without any evidence. decline."
Huo Weilou flipped through the long letter, and Lu Ke continued: "Originally, his cousin was imprisoned, and his identity was difficult to take part in the scientific examination, but later his mother made the decision and adopted him to his uncle's family, and later the officials tried him At that time, he did not go to this point in the review, so he took part in the scientific examination three years later, and later won the first place in one fell swoop, and entered the court as an official."
Huo Weilou frowned, even though he was adopted by his uncle's family, but Wang Qingfu was a second-class man at the time, so many eyes were fixed on him, but no one gave advice? If someone uses this as a spear, it would be difficult for Wang Qingfu to stay in Beijing as an official.
He frowned and asked, "Who was the head of the official department back then?"
Lu Ke said: "It's Zhao Qianshan, the servant of the official department who retired three years ago. Lord Hou should remember this person. He was a second-class Jinshi in the early years of Jianhe, a person from Huai'an, and later made his fortune from the Imperial Academy. He is very fond of his majesty for his calligraphy. He is always at the sidelines."
Huo Weilou did remember, he thought about it for a while, and then went to read the next report, "Is that all the news from Qiangzhou?"
"The servants haven't come back yet, maybe there are other strange things. After Wang Qingfu's mother died of illness ten years ago, he never went back to Qiangzhou. Except for his uncle, he lost contact with others."
As soon as Lu Ke finished speaking, Huo Weilou raised his eyebrows, "He found a Taoist magic weapon in Qiangzhou?!"
Lu Ke hurriedly nodded, "There is a famous Qingyang Temple in Qiangzhou, where a Taoist emperor bell was once enshrined, but after the war, the whereabouts are unknown, and this happened more than a hundred years ago. It is said that it was sent by Wang Qingfu. People went back to their hometowns to inquire about the whereabouts of the Emperor Bell."
Huo Weilou began to meditate, sharp light flashed in his eyes, and soon, his eyes fell on Changxin again, "Cangzhou didn't find anything, and the generals in Zhenxi Army all spoke very well of Yue Mingquan, especially This old general—"
Yuan Jie, deputy commander of the Zhenxi Army, is over 60 years old, and is still in charge of the Zhenxi Army. Huo Weilou used to serve in the army in the North, and he is very familiar with most of the generals in the Northwest Army. I read the letter sent by Qiangzhou again.
Seeing this, Lu Ke hurriedly asked, "What did Lord Hou find?"
"This Yuan Jie's ancestral home is also Huai'an."
This is not what was said in the newspaper, Lu Ke frowned and said: "It is also Huai'an? Then Zhao Qianshan is also from Huai'an... But this... What does it mean? Huai'an has outstanding people?"
Huo Weilou's phoenix eyes were deep, "You should know whose fiefdom Huai'an used to be."
