"He's just a clown." Mo Xiuyao said blandly, "Don't worry, Li Li. I will take care of the relationship between Tan Jizhi and Doctor Lin."
Ye Li nodded. As long as Mo Xiuyao promised something, he was always very reliable. After a little consideration, she threw it to the back of her mind and said to Mo Xiuyao, "There's nothing to do in the capital. Let's go back to the northwest." She was afraid that if she delayed any longer, her big brother would really get angry when they got back.
Mo Xiuyao nodded and smiled happily, "We took care of the Feng family's matter this time. The matter of the new emperor ascending the throne should have come to a conclusion. Then let's go back to the northwest. " Although Mo Xiuyao threw most of the work to Xu Qingchen from time to time, he still knew that going too far was as bad as falling short. If he squeezed too much and Xu Qingchen ran away, then the gains would not make up for the losses.
The Feng family was very unlucky this time. Although it was said that scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen were the worst, businessmen who were able to reach the Feng family's level were definitely more glorious than most people. What's more, the Feng family was the only one among the four richest families in Da Chu State that had a foothold in the capital and had some relations with the imperial family. Normally, everyone would give them some face. However, ever since the emperor passed away, the Feng family was divided into several factions. They quarreled endlessly over which side to support. Before they could reach a conclusion, the Feng family had already been cleanly raided. They didn't even have time to figure out why they were raided. The family of hundreds of people were locked up in the capital's Supreme Court's prison. As the saying goes, when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. The Feng family had been raided without any warning. From top to bottom, everyone was thrown into prison. Those who had a good relationship with them would naturally avoid them like the plague, not to mention those who were waiting for the Feng family to fall so that they could get a share of the profits. How could there be anyone to take care of them? The noble madams, young masters, and young ladies who were originally living a life of luxury were suddenly thrown into a dirty and dark prison. Naturally, they would cry endlessly.
The head of the Feng family, Feng Zhiyao's biological father, Feng Huiting, was locked in a solitary cell. Compared to the crying of his wife, concubines, children, and the other members of the Feng family, he was much calmer. He only leaned against the wall and sat in the corner of the cell. He didn't even respond to madam Feng's calls.
As soon as Feng Zhiyao entered the Supreme Court, he was stopped. Originally, according to the orders from above, although Feng Zhiyao's relationship with the Feng family was cold, he was still a concubine's son of the Feng family. He would definitely be imprisoned. However, Feng Zhiyao had another identity. He was Prince Ding's confidant and the deputy general of the Mohist army. The person who went to arrest them did not dare to go to the Prince Ding Mansion personally to arrest them. He could only report it to his superiors, but in the end, the matter was left unsettled. However, it was impossible for young master Feng San to enter the Supreme Court to visit the Feng family.
Feng Zhiyao gloomily stared at the Supreme Court official with a fake smile in front of him. After the Feng family was thrown into prison, he had been busy capturing Tan Jizhi. He only had time to visit after completing Prince Ding's orders. However, he was blocked outside the door. It was easy to imagine how bad Feng Zhiyao's mood was as he had not slept for two days.
"Get out of my way." Feng Zhiyao was cold. His usually elegant smile was dyed with a bit of cruelty, but it made the person in front of him shiver involuntarily.
"Young master Feng San, for Prince Ding's sake, the court is already gracious to not make things difficult for you. Don't fail to appreciate kindness! " Perhaps it was because he realized that he had been so casually frightened by a junior, the old man in front of him was anxious to regain his lost face and spoke righteously. Feng Zhiyao disdainfully snorted, "If you have the ability, then lock this young master up as well. This young master has never heard of the Supreme Court not allowing people to visit the prison. " It was true that the Supreme Court did not allow people to casually visit the prison, but there were still some hidden rules in the officialdom. As long as one had money, there was no place that was inconvenient to go except the imperial palace. However, Feng Zhiyao did not plan on giving money. He looked at the righteous old man with a smile that was not a smile, "Do you need this young master to tell the people from the Censorate how much benefits Official Wang has received in the Supreme Court in the past seven years?"
Official Wang's expression changed. He glanced at his subordinates who had their heads down and pretended not to hear anything. He stared at Feng Zhiyao for a long time before dryly coughing and saying, "Since young master Feng San is a member of the Prince Ding Mansion, this official naturally cannot come. I have come to ask young master Feng San to quickly come out. "
Feng Zhiyao coldly laughed and said, "This young master coming here has nothing to do with the Prince Ding Mansion." After saying this, he did not care about Official Wang's expression and walked into the prison with a wave of his sleeve.
As soon as he walked into the prison, he was greeted with a cold and rotten aura. Both sides of the corridor were filled with pairs of filthy black hands that wanted to pull on passersby. Feng Zhiyao lightly snorted. His sharp eyes swept to the sides and the prisoners who wanted to pull on him immediately withdrew their hands. People who had been in prison for a long time had the instinct to seek good fortune and avoid harm. Even if Feng Zhiyao's appearance was handsome and luxurious, like a distinguished young master from a prestigious family, the evil aura accumulated from over a decade of war was not something these prisoners could resist.
The Feng family members were locked in the innermost part of the prison. Before he even stepped in, he could smell the strange stench coming from inside. Feng Zhiyao could not help but knit his brows. His half-closed eyes flashed with a trace of coldness.
Walking into the place where the Feng family members were locked up, Feng Zhiyao's expression was complicated as he looked at the man resting in the innermost cell. Feng Huiting, who was almost sixty years old, looked much younger than his actual age. Even in this dark and dirty cell, he was much neater than the crying and noisy Feng family members in the next cell. Feng Zhiyao found that compared to when he left the capital many years ago, there was much more white hair on his temples. Six years ago, when Feng Zhiyao returned to the capital, he did not listen to Xu Hongyan's advice and went back to see him. Thinking about it, the father and son had already seen each other every day for seven or eight years. Feng Zhiyao closed his eyes and hid the unnecessary emotions in his eyes.
Feng Zhiyao's sudden appearance caused the noisy Feng family members to immediately quiet down. The red-clothed man standing in the corridor was wearing a luxurious red brocade robe. No matter where he was, his handsome and outstanding appearance caused the dark cell to suddenly light up. The Feng family members were not familiar with Feng Zhiyao. Since Feng Zhiyao was eight or nine years old, he had spent more time in the Prince Ding Mansion and outside than at home. But looking at the red-clothed man in front of them, someone finally remembered that many years ago, there was a Feng family member who was always dressed in red no matter where or when. It was unknown who suddenly called out, "Feng Zhiyao!"
"Big brother, second brother, long time no see. How have you been?" Feng Zhiyao raised his eyebrows and showed a slightly malicious fake smile to the two middle-aged men not far away.
No matter how many years had passed, Feng Zhiyao still could not like his two brothers. When he was a child, they were existences that he envied and feared. When he was a teenager, they were the objects of his disgust and hatred. But now, Feng Zhiyao, who had long matured, had already left these two brothers far behind him. The hatred that he thought was deep in his bones when he was a teenager was now only a faint instinctive disgust.
"Feng Zhiyao?! Why are you here?! "The second son of the Feng family, Feng Zhiyuan, stared at his third brother who he had not seen for many years and asked with some displeasure. The grudges when they were young were probably just children who did not know how to behave, but the grudges when they were young were more related to interests. At that time, the Feng family forced the head of the family to drive Feng Zhiyao out of the Feng family because he was close to the Prince Ding Mansion. After Feng Zhiyao followed Prince Ding to the Northwest, they publicly broke off their relationship with him. But now, Feng Zhiyao was like a fish in water in the Prince Ding Mansion. On the contrary, they were reduced to this state. The faces of the two sons of the Feng family were not very good.
"Third brother … Third brother! Save me, it's none of my business! Save me … "A middle-aged woman scrambled to the railing and reached out to grab Feng Zhiyao's clothes as she cried. Feng Zhiyao raised his eyebrows. The Liu family and Prince Li were well-prepared. Not only did they capture the people of the Feng family, but they even captured their married daughter. It didn't seem like they were just threatening him and the Prince Ding Mansion. Thinking of Mo Xiuyao's casual smile when he was about to leave, Feng Zhiyao raised his eyebrows.
"What are you doing here?" When Feng Zhiyuan called out Feng Zhiyao's name for the first time, Feng Huaiting opened his eyes and looked at the luxurious man in red outside. An inexplicable emotion flashed through his eyes, but it quickly disappeared as he asked calmly.
The cold voice made Feng Zhiyao's heart feel stifled, but the smile on his face became more and more brilliant. "Of course I'm here to see you, father. You look good."
"Meddlesome." Feng Huaiting said coldly, "You are no longer a descendant of the Feng family. Whatever happens to the Feng family has nothing to do with you. I don't need you to come and visit me. If there's nothing else, go back. "After speaking, Feng Huaiting closed his eyes again and ignored Feng Zhiyao's changed expression.
"Father, what are you talking about?" The Feng family's fourth young miss next to him said with dissatisfaction, "Third brother is Prince Ding's confidant. Third brother must be here to save us. Third brother … Let me out quickly. "
Feng Zhiyao originally felt a little guilty, but after being provoked by Feng Huaiting's cold words, anger suddenly surged in his heart. He sneered and pulled back his clothes that were grabbed by Feng Si. He raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Sorry, as Master Feng said, I'm no longer a member of the Feng family. What happens to the Feng family has nothing to do with me. Right now … I'm just here to watch the show. "
"Little bastard! Even if the Feng family is in dire straits, it's not your turn to gloat. Maybe the Feng family was harmed by a slut like you! "The Lady Feng on the side suddenly cursed.
Hearing this, Feng Zhiyao looked at the Lady Feng with some surprise. The Lady Feng had always relied on her status as the official wife. Although she never looked at a bastard like him, she always had a magnanimous and virtuous appearance on the surface. She would never do anything that would cause people to gossip. Aside from her two sons bullying her and pushing them out without leaving a trace, the Lady Feng was really not bad compared to the vicious and merciless women in the inner residence. He didn't think that she would be unable to hold back at this time.
"Shut up!" Feng Huaiting suddenly spoke and coldly said, "Filthy words. Could it be that after going to prison, your manners were all eaten by dogs?"
The Lady Feng choked. She opened her mouth but couldn't say anything for a long time.
