Rong Xuan did not mention the Jingzhou disaster silver case in the original work. The destruction of the Donglin Hou Mansion was just because they were cooking oil with fire and blooming with flowers. Later, their excessive power aroused the emperor's fear. But I didn't expect that they were behind this incident.
Seeing Rong Xuan deep in thought, Ji Fan raised his hand and touched his earlobe, lightly hooking his fingertips, like a lover's play: "But if we want to confirm this matter, we still need to find the disaster silver. From the capital When we arrived in Jingzhou, we passed through sixty-seven prefectures and counties. No one knew where the mistake was. I sent someone to check, but I haven't received a reply yet. I didn't expect that the beggar would find you. He hasn't left the capital yet, otherwise I might not be able to catch him."
Rong Xuan held his hand, brought it to his lips and kissed it: "This is not difficult. Since he threw the things here, he will definitely not be able to help but see my reaction. You sent someone to ambush near my house. That’s it.”
Ji Fan's palms were itchy from being kissed, and he clenched his fingertips unconsciously. He was about to say something, but suddenly he heard a noise outside. It turned out that the princess's attendant had arrived.
Princess Yannian is the Queen's direct daughter and the Crown Prince's sister, so the pomp on her wedding day is naturally extraordinary. The palace gave a complete set of gold-covered phoenixes with precious crests to send the bride off to. The road was paved with flowers and red silk at the bottom. Hundreds of palace ladies in colorful clothes carried incense burners to clear the way, and the groomsmen who welcomed the bride placed several colorful whips in front of the princess's house. They crackled and crackled, making it as lively as the Chinese New Year.
Yan Fengchen was dressed in a wedding dress, riding a tall horse to lead the way. Although his face was young and a bit youthful, he looked very handsome. It's just that he always looked like a monkey, frowning and looking back at the princess sitting in Fenghu's gauze tent, curious and depressed at the same time.
On the competition stage that day, Yan Fengchen followed Ji Fan's order to go to the competition, but was accidentally elected as the consort. In the past few days, he was taken to the palace to learn etiquette and rules, but he was tortured terribly. Two of the nuns in charge of teaching had their front teeth knocked out by him.
Getting a wife is so troublesome!
Disgusting, he doesn’t like having a wife at all!
Seeing the door of the princess's mansion, Yan Fengchen reluctantly got off his horse and stood at the door waiting. In accordance with the wedding customs of Dazhou, Prince Zhao Su stepped forward and carried the princess off Fenghu. Everyone else was beaming, but she didn't look very happy.
Zhao Yannian lay on Zhao Su's not-so-forgiving back, his vision was red and he couldn't see anything clearly. She felt inexplicably sad. She squeezed Zhao Su's shoulders tightly and whispered: "Brother Huang..."
Zhao Yannian wore a heavy golden crown on his head, and the wedding clothes were complicated and heavy, but Zhao Su said nothing and walked very slowly. She was originally a woman, and it was hard work pretending to be a man, but she didn't expect that even this stupid sister would suffer the same fate.
How should a stupid woman survive in a wealthy family...
Why must women get married...
Zhao Su is working hard to become the crown prince and the emperor. She thought that she could support this sister for her whole life, even if she didn't get married. But after all, it was still fledgling and could not compete with the dogma of this dynasty.
No need to marry far away, this is already the best ending that Zhao Su can arrange for Zhao Yannian...
Zhao Su closed his eyes and whispered: "If he bullies you in the future, he must tell the emperor."
She walked to the door of the mansion, leaned over and let Zhao Yannian land safely, then took her hand and gently inserted a piece of red silk, and handed the other piece of red silk to Yan Fengchen.
Yan Fengchen subconsciously wanted to take it, but Zhao Su suddenly took it back, looked directly into his eyes and said: "I love Yannian very much. I love her more than my life. I am getting married today, and I will trust you with half my life. I also hope that General Yan will do it." Love and cherish.”
Yan Fengchen's eyes were blank for a moment when he heard this. The words were too deep and he couldn't understand what they meant, but he probably understood that the other party wanted him to treat the princess well, so he nodded subconsciously: "Oh..."
He doesn't hit women, as long as the bride doesn't compete with him for snacks.
Zhao Su said nothing more and handed the red silk to him. Together with the onlookers on both sides, I watched from the back as they walked into the main hall, knelt down and performed the rites of heaven and earth, and then the palace envoy read the imperial edict issued by the emperor and bestowed a long and enviable fiefdom and food.
Rong Xuan stood in the crowd, gently pushed Ji Fan with his arm, and said in a joking voice: "I think General Yan doesn't seem to be happy to get married. You have made people miserable."
Ji Fan glanced at him: "Why are you the one who looks unhappy? Anyway, we haven't entered the bridal chamber yet, so you can go and change Yan Fengchen now."
He was certain that Rong Xuan was obsessed with the princess.
Rong Xuan smiled and let out a long sigh on purpose: "I have a thief's heart but not the courage. My little daughter-in-law at home is handsome and jealous, so I can't bear to abandon her."
Nalan Chun appeared out of nowhere with a small jar of wine in his arms. Hearing this, he asked in confusion: "Daughter-in-law? Where did you get your wife? Didn't your wife run away with someone?"
Ji Fan knew as soon as he heard that someone was making nonsense and glared at Rong Xuan without any trace.
Rong Xuan's expression remained unchanged, and he waved his fan slowly: "I ran away with someone, but I later chased him back. I'll introduce him to you another day."
Nalan Chun was happy when he heard this: "Your wife has run away with someone, why do you still want her? With a cuckold on your head, isn't she a living turtle bastard?"
He smashed pots in the latrine as usual, and the smelly porcelain collapsed.
When Ji Fan heard this, he wanted to laugh, but he felt that this sentence seemed to have scolded him, so he stopped smiling and said in a calm tone: "The little prince doesn't know something, this Young Master Rong is an infatuated person, and he can't bear to let it go. Where is the one at home?”
Nalan Chun thought to himself that he was talking nonsense, Rong Xuan's eyes always liked to run towards pretty girls, and there was no trace of infatuation at all. However, before he could speak, he was blocked by Rong Xuan as if he had no idea: "What are you holding in your arms?"
Nalan Chunke felt proud when he mentioned this: "Chun Shan Han Sui, I went to the wine cellar to search for a long time before I found it."
Rong Xuan caught the sensitive word: "Looking for?"
Nalanchun: "Take it."
Rong Xuan: "Steal?"
Nalan Chun was anxious: "What does stealing mean? Yannian and I grew up together. Will she still be reluctant to give me a jar of wine?"
Rong Xuan refused to argue with him, and with a casual glance, he suddenly discovered that Liu Jianlai was also present. The other party stood not far away with a gloomy expression, his eyes seemed to be soaked in poison, staring at Nalan Chun fiercely, fearing that the person who came was evil.
Rong Xuan slowly put away the folding fan and said to Nalan Chun without leaving a trace: "Don't blame me for not reminding you. Be careful of Liu Jian these days. There are old and new grudges. I'm afraid he won't be able to spare you."
Nalan Chun didn't know whether he heard it or not, he just played with the jar of wine in his hand: "Don't worry, even Liu Jianlai's pig brain can still hurt me."
Rong Xuan smiled, he liked Nalan Chun's confidence.
On the other side, the princess and the consort have also been sent to the bridal chamber. Logically speaking, they should have followed the instructions of the maids in the palace and performed the courtesy of the Duke of Zhou. However, because Princess Yannian was foolish and afraid of meeting strangers, they abolished this rule, leaving only the personal maid to serve her.
"Prince-in-law, please lift your hijab."
Maid Miyue always felt that this prince-in-law was a bit stupid. She didn't say a word since entering the bridal chamber, and she sat at the table for half a cup of tea. She really couldn't bear it, so she could only bite the bullet and remind her verbally.
Yan Fengchen looked distressed. Hearing this, he had no choice but to step forward and hesitantly lift the princess's hijab. He was really afraid that he would marry an ugly guy, but he didn't expect that when he lifted his hijab, he was caught off guard and met a pair of eyes as dark and moist as a deer, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Zhao Yannian had bright eyes and white teeth, and was very similar to Zhao Su, but his face was more soft and charming. Her hijab was suddenly lifted, and her eyes widened subconsciously, only to see a young man in wedding clothes staring at her.
Yan Fengchen squatted in front of her, put his chin in his hands and exclaimed: "Wow, you are so beautiful."
Seeing this, the maid covered her lips and smiled, thinking that this prince consort is not stupid after all. He quietly exited with a wink and locked the door.
I don't know if Yan Fengchen's baby face looks too harmless, but Zhao Yannian is not afraid of him. He just hides back slightly nervously, with the golden crown and tassels on his head clashing, looking at him curiously: "You are the one Prince Consort? A native of Yan?"
As a good sign of having many children and good fortune, the bed was covered with a thick layer of longan, red dates, peanuts, and various dried fruits. Yan Fengchen's eyes couldn't help but drift up, and he nodded absently: "My adoptive father is Han Xiaoyun."
He felt that Han Xiaoyun was extremely powerful and something worthy of showing off.
Zhao Yannian didn't recognize him and ignored him. She touched her belly and remembered something. She took out an exquisite snack box from her sleeve, with exquisite plum blossom cakes inside. She had been dragged up by her grandma to dress up since early in the morning, and she hadn't eaten anything until now, and she was almost starving.
So Yan Fengchen could only watch the bride eating in front of him, swallowed, and finally couldn't help but leaned over and asked: "You... what are you eating?"
Zhao Yannian generously put a piece of snack in his hand: "Cake, let's eat together."
Yan Fengchen's eyes immediately lit up when he heard this. He felt that this daughter-in-law was really good, even better than His Highness: "Okay!"
The two of them sat directly on the ground and finished all the pastries in the box, but there was still not enough to eat. Yan Fengchen stared at the dried longan fruit scattered on the bed again, and didn't dislike it, just threw it into his mouth and ate it.
Zhao Yannian only likes to eat walnuts, but after pinching them twice, he couldn't open them, so he could only watch Yan Fengchen eat them. The latter seemed to notice something, looked over, stuffed something in his mouth and asked vaguely: "Do you want to eat walnuts?"
Zhao Yannian's chicken pecked at the rice and nodded, its golden crown clanking.
Yan Fengchen thought that this was not easy. He grabbed a handful of walnuts and crushed the shells with a click, but the kernels inside were intact: "Take it and eat it."
Zhao Yannian opened his eyes wide and exclaimed: "You are so strong!"
Yan Fengchen patted his chest: "I have practiced martial arts."
When Zhao Yannian heard that he knew martial arts, he was even more amazed: "You are so powerful!"
The compliment made Yan Fengchen feel embarrassed. He scratched his head and said, "You are so beautiful too."
At this time, the guests outside had no idea that their consort and the princess were flirting with each other in the boudoir on their wedding night. Only Ji Fan remembered Yan Fengchen's character and was inexplicably worried about their wedding.
But Rong Xuan was still making sarcastic remarks: "If you worry about them, it's better to worry about yourself."
"Me?" Ji Fan glanced at him, "What do I have to worry about?"
The night was getting dark, and no one noticed their side at this time. Rong Xuan covered his face with a fan, approached Ji Fan's ear, and asked in a low voice: "If there is a chance in the future, and you and I get married, shouldn't you worry about yourself?"
Ji Fan paused: "You make it sound as if you really know how to marry me."
Rong Xuan didn't say anything after hearing this. He stared at him for a few seconds before speaking out coldly: "...Who said I won't marry you? I will have a grand wedding in the future, even more grand than the princess getting married today."
Rong Xuan is very good-looking, with hook-like eyes and always hiding a smile. At this time, he was rarely serious. His face fell in the shadow of half light and half darkness, and was illuminated by orange lanterns with a warm jade color.
Ji Fan's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you really dare to marry me?"
Rong Xuan actually took some courage to say this. After all, he is a non-marriage person. He reached out and pinched Ji Fan's face: "Why are you lying to me?"
Ji Fan actually didn't care about those vulgar etiquette, but he liked Rong Xuan's respect for him. Hearing this, he curled up his lips and smiled, and the whole room suddenly became bright: "If you dare to marry, I will certainly dare to marry. No need to be more glamorous."
Rong Xuan saw Ji Fan's eyes sparkling with light, and felt inexplicably soft for a moment, wanting to kiss him. However, the occasion did not allow it, so he could only use his sleeves to cover his face, and lightly scratched Ji Fan's palm: "That won't work. You are the prince, and you can't do it without glory."
He liked that this man was so elegant and graceful, but he was honored as a prince and never enjoyed a single day of honor.
Ji Fan must be happy, otherwise the blackness level would not suddenly drop by 7. The system quietly lay on Rong Xuan's shoulder, thinking, can even marriage be used to reduce the degree of blackness
When Rong Xuan saw the system, he didn't know what he thought of. He gestured with his hand deliberately and added to Ji Fan with a half-smile: "If there is a chance in the future, I will give you a big diamond ring."
Ji Fan was stunned for a moment: "What diamond ring?"
When the system heard this, his back suddenly felt cold, and he immediately disappeared into the air with a whoosh. snort! Why do these annoying humans always like to give away diamonds? Can't they cherish endangered species
#I’m so angry#
Rong Xuan shook his head and said: "It's nothing, just a broken stone."
After the wedding banquet, everyone dispersed, but Nalan Chun was still drinking and fist-fighting with a bunch of bad friends. It seemed that he planned to never return until he got drunk. Rong Xuan planned to ride Ji Fan's carriage back, but he stopped him: "You'd better walk back."
Rong Xuan raised his eyebrows: "Why?"
Ji Fan smiled: "Aren't you trying to catch that beggar? With so many people, he won't dare to show up. If you blatantly take my car back, aren't you just trying to scare the beggar?"
Rong Xuan thought about this and reluctantly gave up the idea of riding in a carriage. Ji Fan gave a few instructions to the deputy commander and secretly sent several masters to ambush the surroundings, waiting for the beggar to show up and then arrest him immediately.
Zhao Su never drank alcohol, and as his mind was heavy, he sat for a while and then left the princess mansion. General Xuanyuan Qing saw his sweetheart leaving and couldn't help but step to follow him. He hesitated and said: "Your Highness is going back to the palace. I will escort you."
Corporal Zhao Sulixian naturally wouldn't let him send it away. How could a dignified general do the work of a servant? "It's okay, just go back alone."
Xuanyuan Qing asked tentatively: "Your Highness, is there something on your mind?"
Zhao Su trusted him quite a bit and did not hide what he said. When he saw no one around, he raised his hand to signal his followers to take five steps back. Then he lowered his voice and said, "The Queen Mother's health has been getting worse recently. Concubine Liu seems to be in power. I am alone. I am afraid that the Donglin Hou Mansion will not be peaceful, so I want to help my eighth brother to take the throne."
There were too many scandals in the Donglin Marquis Mansion, but all of them were not enough to cause a fatal blow. Zhao Su needs more weighty evidence so that they can be beaten beyond hope.
Zhao Su didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly said to Xuanyuan Qing: "Does the general know about the case of Jingzhou's disaster money being embezzled?"
Xuanyuan Qing nodded: "I heard a little bit."
Although his swordsmanship is high, he is not sensitive to the current political situation. He can be a commander and a general, but he cannot make plans or calculations. It often takes people to understand things thoroughly before they can understand what the other person is saying.
Zhao Su said with a serious look: "Gu suspects that the Donglin Marquis Mansion is behind this matter, and even Sun De, the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, can't escape the involvement. Last month, Gu secretly checked the money and food, and found that several expenditures from the treasury were not in line. I’m afraid that someone in the government will form a clique for personal gain and deceive the superiors and conceal the truth.”
Xuanyuan Qing couldn't help but became furious when he heard this: "They are so brave!"
Zhao Su signaled him to be calm and calm: "When I said this to General Gu, I actually wanted to ask General for help..."
Ji Fan sat in the carriage and had a panoramic view of their conversation through the curtain. He chuckled lightly, knowing that Zhao Su was afraid that he was going to make some move, so he ordered the deputy commander: "Go and let Xiao Duo keep an eye on them secretly to see what they are going to do."
In fact, it is safer to let Yan Fengchen handle this matter. He is a second-level swordsman, so at least he will not be caught. However, people are still in the bridal chamber with flowers and candles, and I'm afraid they won't be able to get away.
Ji Fan thought about this, leaned against the carriage, closed his eyes and fell into silence, not knowing what he was thinking.
If they are really killed in the future, the position of Prince Consort can be regarded as a talisman, and it can also protect Yan Fengchen's life if something happens in the future...
And Rong Xuan…
And Rong Xuan…
Ji Fan silently clenched his fingertips, his desire to win this chess game had never been so strong.
For a period of time after that, the people sent by Ji Fan had been paying close attention to the movements around the Rong family, but they found nothing for several days. Rong Xuan felt that he could no longer sit still and wait for death. He simply dug out the bag of tips left by the beggar and stuffed a piece of silver and a stack of paper into it. When it was dark and no one was around, he went out and threw it directly into the ditch on the side of the road.
"Your method is really effective. What if he doesn't come to pick you up?"
In the dead of night, Ji Fan and Rong Xuan were hiding in a tree, watching to see if the beggar would come to pick up the kit in the ditch. However, half an hour passed and there was still no movement.
"I don't believe he would really watch that bloody letter lying in the ditch. After all, it contained dozens of lives."
Rong Xuan's legs were numb from squatting. He originally wanted to change his position, but thought that the tree was not very strong, so he stopped thinking. He glanced at Ji Fan beside him: "Why don't you go to the tree opposite?"
Ji Fan glanced at him after hearing this, and gained a new understanding of Rong Xuan's shameless state, and reminded him word by word: "This is the tree occupied by Gu Xian."
Rong Xuan just likes to fight lawsuits. Hearing this, he half-smiled and said: "Then why didn't His Highness let me go? He wouldn't even let me give up a tree. He also said that he wanted me to be the emperor's wife. I was stupid to become your emperor's wife." … hiss…”
Before he finished speaking, Ji Fan lowered his head and bit his shoulder. The pain was so painful that Rong Xuan gasped: "Let go quickly, you may have been discovered."
Ji Fan: "Who told you to talk too much?"
Just when the two of them were in the den, a Ye Xianglang suddenly dragged a dung cart and passed by. He was cleaning the ditch when he suddenly found a brocade bag inside and couldn't help but bend down to pick it up.
"What's this… "
Ji Fan and Rong Xuan paused when they saw this, staring closely at the person who poured Ye Xiang. I saw him pouring the brocade bag with force, and a twelve-weight ingot of snowflake-patterned silver fell out of it, as well as a few pieces of fluttering letter paper.
"silver?!"
Seeing this, Ye Xianglang suspected that he was dazzled. How could he pick up a piece of snowflake silver for no reason in the middle of the night? ! For the moment, he didn't care that the silver was stained with mud. He quickly bent down to pick it up and wiped it with his sleeve. Then he felt that the light paper looked like a banknote. He picked it up and was about to take a closer look when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck. , his eyes rolled up and he fell to the ground and fainted——
A ragged beggar appeared behind him at some point.
The beggar didn't care about the fainted man. He immediately squatted down and took out the ingot of silver from his arms. When he saw that the bottom was clean and there were no marks on it, his expression changed. He quickly picked up the letter and took a look, and found that it was also empty. Only then did he realize that he had been tricked, and wanted to leave immediately, but it was too late, and two swords with shining edges were quietly added to his neck.
Rong Xuan's voice suddenly sounded behind him, with a hint of joking: "It's been a few days since we last said goodbye. Your Excellency comes and goes in a hurry, why don't you go to my house to have a cup of tea and meet old friends before leaving?"
The beggar's face turned gloomy when he heard this, and he clenched his teeth silently without saying a word.
Ji Fan didn't have much free time to talk nonsense. He silently approached the sword and said coldly: "Get up. If you have anything to say, we can talk to you in the house."
The last sentence was preached to Rong.
