Sure enough, the situation was as he had predicted, and it was getting more and more critical.

First of all, not long after, the imperial court sent a newspaper to officially report this shocking case.

A few days later, a mysterious figure came from the capital, arrived in front of the Quanzhou Assassin's Mansion, and asked to meet Feng Pu.

As a result, the next day, Feng Pu begged the bones of the imperial court on the grounds that he was too old and frail to do anything.

This time, the imperial court was extremely efficient, and as soon as the fold arrived, it was immediately approved.

Feng Pu only needs to stay in Quanzhou for another month or two, and when the new assassin arrives, he can go home and eat himself.

Old man Feng had a good relationship with Cui Geng, and secretly confessed to him that the so-called mysterious person who came to Quanzhou to see him was actually Lai Junchen's subordinates.

He let himself resign on his own initiative, otherwise he would not be able to escape the crime of extermination. As for the reason for this, it is to purge Di Renjie's henchmen.

Di Renjie turned out to be very trusted by Wu Zetian, and he didn't die if he fought a snake, but Lai Junchen was really afraid that he would one day get involved and come back, so he suggested in front of Wu Zetian many times that he kill Di Renjie.

Wu Zetian resolutely refused, and Lai Junchen was even more apprehensive in his heart. Therefore, as long as anyone who has something to do with Di Renjie is within the scope of his attack.

In the end, Feng Pu persuaded earnestly: "Erlang, if you have a way, hurry up and go to the DPRK and China now, and strive to reconcile with the Junchen who came to you." If you really can't help it...... It's better to be like the old man as soon as possible, and it's better not to resign. Lai Junchen's method of framing is ruthless and vicious! ”

"This ......"

Cui Geng hesitated for a while.

Feng Pu has reached the age of begging bones anyway, and it is not a big loss if he resigns.

But I am different, Jufenglong Silver Trumpet, which of the Mulan Spring Wine Workshop is not a mouth-watering industry? Once you lose your official position, can you still keep it?

In addition, he has been an official for so long, majestic and majestic, and officials from all walks of life call him brother and brother, and give the nickname Cui Qingtian to the people who have redressed their grievances.

Take a step back and say, even if you are happy, your own few people are not happy!

However, he is not as pessimistic as Feng Pu, in his opinion, even if with the fall of Di Xiang, the situation gradually deteriorates seriously, and his life will be very difficult, but there is absolutely no room for recovery.

Guo Ke, who first had a close relationship with him, was not a way. I think that Guo Ke once showed his mouth at the beginning, and with the strength of the Guo family, he will definitely not be afraid of Wu Sanzhong. In that case, you should be able to have a few tricks with Lai Junchen, right?

There is also the new Fang Meiyu from Wang Ruiyue who has done good deeds recently, which represents the favor of the Zhang family in Weizhou. If he really returned this Fang Meiyu, with the power of the Zhang family, he should also make Lai Junchen fearful, right?

Even if Lai Junchen is really determined, if he wants to get rid of everyone who has something to do with Di Xiang, he must deal with himself. If the favor between himself and these two families can't stop the offensive of Lai Junchen, doesn't he have a third way - Shangguan Wan'er?

No matter how bold Lai Junchen is, he doesn't dare not give face to Shangguan Wan'er, the celebrity in front of Wu Zetian and the secretary of Wu Zetian's work and life, right?

As for taking sides?

Now, I really can't care about so much. Even Di Renjie couldn't bear Lai Junchen, so he temporarily forbears it, and he is not ashamed!

Thinking of this, Cui Geng immediately prepared to meet Lu Xiong and discuss going to Chang'an to meet Shangguan Wan'er.

But her mother's dilapidated house was even more rained overnight, and before Cui Geng could go out, Lu Xiong's letter arrived, telling him an unfortunate news - Lu Lihua had a sudden illness and died!

Yes! is his last life-saving straw, the little lady of the Lu family who has never met but is bent on marrying him, died!!

Although Lu Xiong was immersed in the grief of losing his daughter, he still repeatedly emphasized in the letter that although this marriage did not form, it was a jealousy and red-faced, which could not be reversed by manpower. He will always regard Cui Geng as his son-in-law, and Shangguan Wan'er will definitely treat him as his nephew and son-in-law.

But no matter how nice it sounds, is there an egg?

Shangguan Wan'er is not stupid, how could she go to Junchen for Cui Erlang, who has nothing to do with it?

Di Renjie's resignation, Feng Pu's resignation, and Cui Gengling's term of office as the governor of Lingnan Province ended without a new position, these three things happened one after another, and almost everyone realized that this time Cui Erlang was a heel, and his future was bright!

Immediately afterwards, another unfortunate news came - Lai Junchen is arranging for someone to impeach Cui Geng in Chang'an!

In just a few days, Cui's mansion was suddenly crowded.

Cui Geng's family knows about his own affairs, so he simply doesn't go to deal with others, just waiting for the day when the dust settles.

If you just cut off your official position, you have no choice but to endure it. If Lai Junchen is too much, he has to give up the favor of a beautiful jade, and then let the Zhang family think of a way.

Another month has passed in the blink of an eye, the Dragon Boat Festival has arrived, and it is a coincidence that this day is Cui Geng's birthday.

On the gate of Cui's mansion, there is a bunch of garlic hanging and a ball of wormwood woven into a ~ human shape. There are also calamus leaves in the shape of swords by the door, and five-colored silk threads are entwined into wisps, fluttering in the wind.

There are things for the occasion, and the atmosphere of the Dragon Boat Festival is quite strong.

But although things are, people are not.

If it was two years ago, no, even if it was a few months ago, the Cui Mansion would have been full of guests.

However, this year, Cui Geng did not take the initiative to send an invitation, and no one took the initiative to visit.

In addition to Erniang, sister-in-law Su Xiuxiu, Mao Bo, Xiao Jiu'er and Cui Geng herself, there are only a few maids and servants in the family, which is deserted, which forms a huge contrast with the lively atmosphere of the festival.

The faces of the family were not a little happy, and they did experience the warmth and coldness of human affection and the sadness of the hot and cold world.

Erniang said angrily in front of Cui Geng: "It's all a bunch of ungrateful snobs!" In the past, how many people got the benefits of Erlang, but now it's good, seeing that our family is in trouble, and even Erlang's birthday doesn't come to say hello, it's really a bunch of things that feed their conscience to dogs. ”

"You can't say that." Cui Geng shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "First, getting involved with me now is only bad for anyone, not good; Second, didn't we post to invite people to come? ”

Erniang said: "If you don't invite you, you won't take the initiative to come?" They are all human spirits, and they don't have this eyesight? According to the old lady, it is true that she is afraid of getting too close to you and getting into trouble! ”

Knock knock~~

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside, and the sound of an urn came out, "Is Erlang at home?" I'm here to congratulate you on your birthday! ”

This is Feng Changqing's voice!

At a critical time, this man who values love and righteousness can be relied on!

Cui Geng said just now that he didn't care, and he was considerate of other people's suffering, how could he really not care?

I was relieved a lot in my heart, and I went out to greet him in person!

As soon as he opened the door, he was even happier, it turned out that not only Feng Changqing was here, but also followed by Song Genhai and Yao Du.

The three of them were empty-handed, Yao Du was holding two chickens in his left hand and two ducks in his right hand, and Song Genhai was carrying a leg of mutton and a fat fresh fish weighing more than ten catties.

Feng Changqing was even more unbelievable, and it was really difficult for him, I don't know where he bought it, but he was carrying half a fan of beef, which was four or five hundred catties. Sure enough, it's a brute strength!

But Rao is his strength is amazing, and he is also so tired that he is panting.

After several people put their things in the kitchen one after another, Cui Gengcai let them into the hall.

Xiao Jiu'er came out with a tray with rice dumplings, pu wine, five poison cakes and other foods suitable for the occasion to entertain everyone.

After eating a few pieces of five poison cakes, Cui Geng sighed slightly and said, "Chang Qing, Genhai, Yao Du, you can come, this official is full of hospitality." But...... At this juncture, try not to get too close to the official, you should know the stakes! ”

Although Cui Geng has lost the position of the political envoy of Lingnan Province, he is still the official rank of the seven-grade imperial history, and the sentence "this official" is still called.

Song Genhai said indifferently: "My lord, you look down on us too much." A figure as big as Feng Tingshi, who has a letter and sings peace with Di Xiang, is just a resignation. What are we three flat-headed people afraid of? Lai Junchen won't drop his eyes on the three of us insignificant little people, will he? ”

Yao Du nodded again and again, Song Genhai said exactly what he wanted to say.

Among the three, Cui Geng still felt that he couldn't stand Yao Du the most, and said apologetically: "To put it mildly, Yao Du, do you regret resigning from the errand of Zhechong Mansion?" Or, I'll help you talk to Guo Duwei again and go back to Zhichong Mansion to take up a post? ”

If you want to say that Yao Du doesn't regret it, of course it's fake, but now that Cui Geng asks, he can't drop the chain on the spot.

He simply slapped his swollen face and became fat, and said with a forced smile: "My lord, I don't regret it at all, on the contrary, it's too late to be happy." ”

This scholar is stupid because of the stimulation, right?

Cui Geng's face was full of disbelief.

Yao Du explained with a smile: "My lord, what do you think, I, Yao Du, may be a talent in the original Qingyuan County Yali, but in Quanzhou, and even the entire Lingnan Road, I am a fart." If you want to slap you, you can only start with friendship. Now that you are unlucky, I will stay by your side loyally, and in the future, you will be developed, and you will be able to treat me badly? ”

Is this girl really so optimistic about me? It was all on me!

Cui Geng's eyes flickered, and he always felt that there was a lot of water in Yao Du's words, and this guy was not a kind embryo.

"Snort...... With a mouth, you can say all the good things! ”

Feng Changqing sneered and said with disdain: "My lord, don't listen to their nonsense. As a matter of fact... Huh..."

As he spoke, he pointed at Song Genhai and Yao Du and said, "These two people didn't tell the truth, at least not all of them told the truth." They now have no official duties, and they can only come to you to find a meal when they see that they have eaten at home! ”

I'll go~

Cui Geng saw the two of them bowing their heads in shame, and couldn't help but despise them fiercely.

He asked Feng Changqing, "What about you?" ”

"I'm different, I'll leave this sentence here today!"

Feng Changqing's eyes were scorching, and his voice was like a flood of bells: "Since the adults rescued me from prison, I will sell more than 200 catties to you." Don't say you're implicated, even if you accompany you to die, the one surnamed Feng dares to take a step back, it's not the master who is standing and peeing! ”

"Good!"

Cui Geng stroked his hand and shouted hello, Cui Geng definitely believes in Feng Changqing's character, at least not the two goods next to him can be compared.

He clearly remembered Feng Changqing in history, in order to repay the kindness of his acquaintance, he finally accompanied Gao Xianzhi to die!

A good man with a thin cloud!

Immediately, Cui Geng picked up a glass of pu wine and said to everyone: "No matter what reason everyone visits me today, it is all good. In the future, as long as I have a bite to eat, I will definitely not be hungry for you. Come, today, at this time, everyone drink this cup to the full! ”
