Chapter 100: A Secret Promise

The world is full of fragrant flowers in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom.

It is now the middle of May, and the peach and plum Fangfei are naturally gone, but the pomegranates and roses in the back flower yard of Feifu are blooming brilliantly, red and bright, attracting bees and butterflies.

At this moment, the three girls of Fei Mansion and a group of maids are playing in the back flower courtyard, and the laughter of the girls like silver bells is like the yellow warbler out of the valley in May, which makes people feel happy to listen.

It's summer now, and the girls have changed into summer dresses, and the young and slender figures of the girls are reverie.

Fei Xiaoyu, the little pepper, was wearing a fiery red pleated Luo skirt, and was playing a game of hide and seek with Fei Jixiang and the girls, giggling and having fun.

It is said that since the Dragon Boat Festival was grounded, Fei Hong did not lift the ban order until today, and the five girls who were free again immediately let go of themselves and took the two sisters to the back garden to play.

After Fei Ruyi was dismissed by Xu Jin that day, he drank medicine and ate regularly every day, and his body had improved greatly, but as the saying goes: the illness is like a mountain, and the illness is like a thread, not to mention that the delicate boudoir lady is already delicate, so Fei Ruyi has not yet recovered, and at this time he is wearing a thin blanket and sitting under the pomegranate tree lazily basking in the sun.

Fei Ruyi wore a plain white Luo skirt today, with a slender waist tightly tied and just in a hand, sitting on the stone bench demurely, the round pretty tun and the slender waist outlined a beautiful curve, like a white jade bottle full of beauty.

"Just guessed what you guys were playing here!" A clear voice suddenly came.

The two brothers, Fei Maoxian and Fei Maozhong, walked along the stone path in the garden with smiling faces, their long shirts and streamers, handsome and extraordinary.

The Fei brothers had just come out of the study, and they had already learned from their father Fei Hong that Sun Sui of the Jiangxi Governor would arrive in Shangrao County tomorrow, and Xu Jin would also return to the city together, so the two of them came to tell their sisters the good news.

It is said that since the second half of last year, the bandits led by Wu Sanba have been constantly harassing the Fei family, setting fires, stealing, digging ancestral graves, doing everything, and finally even rushed into the county town of Leadshan to kidnap and kill Fei Ruyi's father.

Now that this group of ferocious bandits has finally been exterminated by Governor Sun, and the revenge has been avenged, the Fei family is naturally rejoicing, which means that they can move back to their hometown in Leadshan County in the near future, and the Fei family's fields and industries are all in Leadshan County.

"If you have talked to the two brothers!" Fei Ruyi stood up happily and saluted, with a hint of expectation in her beautiful eyes.

It is said that on the eighth day of the fifth month, Zhao Xing Pegasus, the nurse, returned to the house to report, saying that Xu Jin was attacked by a bandit on the way back to the village, and the news spread to the backyard of the Fei family, so that Fei Ruyi, who learned the news, was worried and restless all day long, and sent Yahuan to find the eldest brother Fei Maoxian from time to time to inquire about the latest news, until the next day he learned that Xu Jin was fine.

Because of this, Fei Maoxian just got the news from his father that Xu Jin would return to the city with Governor Sun tomorrow, so he came to the backyard very thoughtfully to tell his sister.

Fei Maozhong said with a smile: "Third sister, I have good news for you. ”

"What's the good news?" Fei Xiaoyu and Fei Jixiang stopped playing hide and seek when they heard this, and hurriedly surrounded them.

"Governor Sun will go to Shangrao County tomorrow, and then Zhou Boling, Li Zhen and other bandit leaders will also be sent here for trial, and the uncle's blood feud will finally be avenged, but it's a pity that Wu Sanba's thief has escaped, and he hasn't been caught yet!" Fei Maozhong clenched his fists and said regretfully.

Fei Xiaoyu said happily: "Great, this group of bandits who killed a thousand knives has finally been exterminated, we can go home, I miss the bed at home so much, the bed that people sleep in now is not comfortable at all." ”

It's really a teenager who doesn't know what it's like to be sad, such a big thing, the first thing that Fei Xiaoyu, a twelve-year-old girl, thought of was the bed at home, and she was also drunk!

The smile on Fei Ruyi's face gradually faded, the bandits in Lead Mountain were exterminated, and they could finally return to their homes, which was originally a joyful thing, but Fei Ruyi's heart gave birth to a faint melancholy and reluctance.

Although the house in Leadshan's hometown is bigger and more comfortable, Fei Ruyi likes it even more, although the house is small, but the brothers and sisters live together, how lively it is every day.

It is said that the three Fei Hong brothers have long been separated, and they each have their own houses in their hometowns in Leadshan, and the three families live together like this, also to save expenses, which is completely forced by the situation.

Because of this, Fei Ruyi naturally became depressed when he thought of returning to his hometown and being alone in the house, and now that his father was gone, facing his mother-in-law who was not related by blood every day.

Fei Maoxian noticed the change in the third sister's expression, and said with a smile: "It is said that this time Sun Fuxun was able to successfully exterminate the bandits in Lead Mountain, and Brother Xu contributed a lot." ”

Fei Xiaoyu blinked and said, "What's the matter with Guan Xu Jin, he is a scholar and doesn't lead troops to fight." ”

Fei Maozhong said with a smile: "Little sister, you don't understand this, Governor Sun has been besieging Lead Mountain since the end of February this year, and the effect has been very little for several months, if it weren't for the Li Town to break the camp and attack Xujia Village, Governor Sun would not have been able to catch the opportunity to break the thief." ”

Fei Xiaoyu nodded and said, "So Xu Jin really has a little bit of credit!" As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and gestured "a little bit".

Fei Ruyi frowned and said, "According to me, Xu Gongzi has a lot of credit, but he risked his life to get it." ”

"Yes, yes, Xu Jin has the greatest credit, the most powerful!" Fei Xiaoyu said narrowly: "Otherwise, the third sister's illness will make Xu Jin look at it at a glance." ”

All the maids covered their mouths and snickered, Fei Ruyi's face was slightly hot, and he said angrily: "What people say is the truth, and the fifth sister will only mess around, which is very boring." ”

Fei Maoxian and Fei Maozhong glanced at each other, the third sister was still melancholy just now, but as soon as she mentioned Xu Jin, she came to the spirit, and it seemed that she was indeed concerned with Xu Jin.

Fei Maoxian said: "By the way, tomorrow Xu Jin will also go back to the city with the governor!" ”

Fei Ruyi's beautiful eyes suddenly blinked, but she hurriedly lowered her head to hide the joy on her face, so as not to be teased by the fifth sister again.

Fei Maozhong touched his chin depressedly, looking at the appearance of the third sister, I am afraid that a heart is tied to Xu Jin.

……

In the temporary residence of King Ning, the guards and subordinates all looked nervous, cautious, and looked like they were walking on thin ice, for fear of touching the mold, because His Royal Highness the Prince of the World was in a very bad mood in the past two days, and there were already unlucky maidservants who had been killed by the cane.

In the study at this moment, Brother Zhu, the prince of King Ning, had a gloomy face that he could drip black juice, and the eunuch Liu Ji put his hands in his wide sleeves, the smile that he usually hung on his face was gone, and his thin eyebrows were frowned.

The news of the extermination of the lead mountain bandits led by Wu Sanba came back two days ago, and the mood of the two of them was good. You must know that Wu Sanba has nearly 1,000 people under him, and he is one of the thieves that King Ning relies on, and he can provide great help if he raises troops in the future, and besides, King Ning's mansion has a huge investment, and a considerable part of the property is plundered by thieves from all walks of life. Now that Wu Sanba's gang of bandits has been exterminated, it is not an exaggeration to say that he broke one of King Ning's fingers.

Of course, compared to the extermination of Wu Sanba's gang, what Wang Shizi Ning was even more annoyed about was that Li Zhen failed to complete the task, Xujiacun was fine, and the little kid Zhu Houxi, who might compete with him for the position of prince, was still alive.

However, the eunuch Liu Ji was worried that the prince would be held responsible, after all, he came up with the idea of mobilizing the lead mountain bandits to attack Xujia Village, and in the end it caused huge losses. The most important thing is that the prince is planning to use Sun Sui's ineffective suppression of bandits as an excuse to impeach him, so that he can roll out of Jiangxi, and now that Sun Sui has exterminated Wu Sanba, this excuse naturally can no longer be used. It is conceivable how annoyed the prince will be now, and maybe he has already sent someone to summon him back to Nanchang.

"Father-in-law Liu, Sun Sui's old puppet will be in Shangrao County tomorrow, how should we deal with it?" Brother Zhu, the prince of King Ning, raised his head and said in a deep voice.

At present, the city defense of Shangrao County has been taken over by the army sent by Sun Sui, and a number of rice shops, wine shops and pharmacies have been seized, including the industries under the name of Ning Wangfu, including Hengfeng Carriage and Horse Shop.

Sun Sui is menacing, if it is in Nanchang, Ning Wang Shizi will definitely not be afraid, but this is Shangrao County, Ning Wangfu's power foundation is shallow, Brother Zhu is really a little afraid that this Sun Lao stubborn will also arrest him, so he called Liu Ji to discuss countermeasures, and if it really didn't work, he sneaked back to Nanchang before Sun Sui arrived.

Liu Jipi said calmly: "Why should His Royal Highness the Prince panic, doesn't Sun Sui want to find out the thief, just let Lu Kang push a few scapegoats out to block it, as for those seized industries, they should be broken and prevent disasters, and this account will be slowly settled with Sun Sui in the future." ”

Liu Ji himself is a veteran of conspiracy and struggle, so he is very calm, just relying on Sun Suiqi to obtain that bit of physical evidence cannot implicate His Royal Highness the Prince at all, he has a lot of means to push two, five or six, but Lu Kang is estimated to be a little dangerous, at least the crime of dereliction of duty can't escape.

Ning Wang Shizi said a little worriedly: "But Sun Sui caught Li Zhen and Zhou Boling, what if they confessed?" ”

Liu Ji's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said gloomily: "I heard that Sun Sui is going to escort people to Shangrao for interrogation, so find an opportunity to send them a meal, after all, I have served the prince for so many years, and there is no merit and hard work." ”

King Ning's eyes showed a hint of cruelty, and he said in a deep voice: "Why don't you even ...... the old horseman of Sun Sui It's a hundred! After saying that, he made a gesture to wipe his neck.

Liu Ji hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, Sun Sui is the governor of a province, if he dies in Jiangxi, the court will be absolutely shocked, and at this juncture, I am afraid that it will ruin the prince's major affairs." ”

Brother Zhu said regretfully: "Okay, let Old Man Sun live for a long time." ”
