In an instant, Niu Jinda couldn't stay calm.
What was he doing?
Hearing a sound?
Swish!
Niu Jinda hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, yesterday this old subject originally wanted to take my son to thank Fengzi, but after thinking for a long time, I couldn't think of what to give to Fengzi. However, when I turned my head, I saw the Guan Gong Tu that Your Majesty rewarded me, so this old subject …"
Niu Jinda spilled the whole story of how he went to Zhang Feng's residence yesterday, as well as why he went there and what he did there.
The sound really scared him.
After all, being hit by a plank was also a sound. The head falling to the ground was also a sound!
He couldn't tell what the Emperor was thinking, and this time the Emperor was really angry. What's more, Kong Yingda, this old guy, basically exposed everything.
No one would feel good if this happened to him.
At this time, he didn't know whether the Emperor was really angry or something else.
This was what scared him the most.
At this time, Li Shimin heard this and said with some surprise, "You mean, you extorted the Guan Gongtu that you have been hanging at the gate?"
"Yes, that's right. This is a life-saving grace. Moreover, it saved both our lives. But this old minister can't think of what to give. Money? That's too cliché. You can say that it's something else. There's nothing that Fengzi would like. So I thought about it and gave it to Fengzi. After all, Fengzi is a good brother, and this painting is suitable for him! "
Li Shimin was a little dizzy.
He was thinking about taking advantage of this opportunity to get the Guan Gongtu back. Now, it was in Fengzi's pocket. It was completely impossible to get it back now.
He could only sigh and say, "Fine, fine. You gave it to him, but why did you give him this thing? And the most important thing is, why did you go to his mansion? "
"You didn't really go there to give this painting to Fengzi, did you?"
Fang Xuanling and others were a little bolder at this time. Seeing the Emperor's tone soften a little, they plucked up the courage to look at Niu Jinda with doubts.
Hearing this, Niu Jinda couldn't calm down and said proudly, "Your Majesty knows me best! Yesterday, I was thinking about it. Feng Zi has been doing this phosphate fertilizer for a long time. Think about it, every time we went to Feng Zi's liquor store, he would be so stingy. He said that he didn't have it, but every time, he would be able to get some out. What does this mean? It means that Fengzi is too stingy. He hid all the good stuff at home. "
"And I was thinking, this guy should have made Fengzi's Fengzi long ago. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to tell Master Fang about it, and wouldn't have dared to use it on the fields in the mountains! "
"And he did it in front of it in front of so many people.."
Li Shimin pondered and felt that Niu Jinda was right. After all, this matter was indeed such a matter. If Zhang Feng wasn't certain of something, he wouldn't do it.
Li Shimin couldn't help but walk up and down in the imperial study with his hands behind his back. After a while, he waved his hand and said, "Don't just stand there. Sit down. Xiao Guizi, prepare the meal!"
"Dear Niu, tell me in detail. Did you find anything in Fengzi's mansion?"
"Yes!"
Niu Jinda's eyes were fixed on the bowl of steaming hot noodles that a group of palace maids brought in.
Li Shimin sighed and waved his hand, saying, "Let's eat and talk!"
"Oh, oh, oh."
When Niu Jinda heard this, he rubbed his hands together and took a large bowl of noodles from a palace maid before wolfing it down. Yuchi Gong and the others had long since fainted from hunger. When they saw this, they didn't wait for the emperor's orders and picked up their bowls to slurp down the noodles.
After a while, Niu Jinda touched his belly. He wanted to eat another bowl, but seeing Li Shimin's expression, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, you also know about this. It's Fengzi's East Courtyard!"
"Among them, we have been to the Southwest and North Courtyards, but the East Courtyard is the only one that no one is allowed to take a look at. And most importantly, when I went to ask, no one was allowed to mention it. Zhang Feng even found three old men and directly sealed the East Courtyard. I don't know what they are doing inside. Even when I went to persuade them, in the end, when I mistakenly said that Feng Zi was selling phosphate fertilizer on the mountain, they finally allowed me to go in."
"What's inside?"
Li Shimin frowned and asked.
Fang Xuanling and the others also put down their bowls and chopsticks, waiting for Niu Jinda.
Niu Jinda looked behind him and saw that the door of the Imperial Study was closed. He then said mysteriously, "The layout of the courtyard is the same as the other places. When Fengzi moved in, we all went to the East Courtyard. There are so many rooms, but the three old men didn't live in them. Instead, they built a few thatched sheds in the innermost part of the East Courtyard where the sunlight is the best. The weirdest thing is that there's a big pot beside the shed, which is boiling water. There's also a big wooden trough beside the pot, and there's something similar to medicinal herbs in the wooden trough!"
Li Shimin was confused.
You said a lot of things.
You didn't find anything!
You're making fun of me, aren't you?
Li Shimin was angry.
He waved his hand and said, "Come on, drag him out and give him 30 beatings!"
Niu Jinda was still talking vividly. When he heard the Emperor's words, he couldn't understand and was a little confused.
But when he saw that the Jinwu Guards really stopped him, he hurriedly shouted, "Your Majesty, I'm innocent!"
