Chapter 604 The tangle of the seal
Feng Kuang was thirty years old and from Bazhou, Jiannan Road.
In the first year of Wansui Tongtian, he was recommended to serve as the magistrate of Liangzhou with his mentor and later moved to the magistrate of Jincheng County. He has been serving in Jincheng for more than two years. He served in Jincheng for two years and has made outstanding achievements in his political achievements. He made friends with prominent families in Jincheng, rectified the public security of Jincheng, and achieved great results.
In the eyes of many Jincheng people, Feng Kuang is a dishonest and calm person.
No matter when, he will maintain a graceful demeanor and show a confident temperament.
But today, Feng Kuang seemed a little anxious.
When it was already ugly, he still did not rest, but wandered around the house, looking worried.
In the study room, Feng Kuang's wife Qian sat aside, looking at the anxious Feng Kuang, showing a look of worry.
"Husband, is this really appropriate?"
Feng Kuang stopped and glanced at Mrs. Qian.
"Madam, do I want this? But... sometimes, I can't help myself, and it's not my turn to make the decision."
Around the Chou Times, a Jincheng patrolman reported that a fire broke out in the inn outside the city, and it seemed to be attacked.
Feng Kuang ordered the patrol soldiers not to leave the city to rescue on the grounds that "it was dark and the situation outside the city was unclear, and he might be ambushed when he attacked rashly."
But after returning to the inner house, Feng Kuang was in a state of uneasy.
To be honest, there is no big deal about the attack on the inn. Then he reported it to the superiors, saying that it was done by the horse thieves and bandits. But the problem is that he didn't know why the inn was attacked. He was not very stable in his heart and could not fall asleep.
The officialdom is sinister, and sometimes I really can’t help myself.
Feng Kuang knew very well what was going on in the inn, because before that, he received a letter written by the benefactor who recommended him to join the officialdom, asking him to cooperate. The letter was very clear that he didn't need to do anything. He just stood by and watched when something happened outside the city and restrained Jincheng Yongzhuang from going to rescue. Other things had nothing to do with him.
This shows that the fire in Jincheng Inn tonight was his benefactor, or the person behind his benefactor was secretly manipulating it.
But who are you going to deal with? What is the reason?
Feng Kuang was unaware of it... It was precisely because of this that Feng Kuang became more and more worried, and there was a feeling of uneasiness in his heart, and he always felt that something big was going to happen.
"Madam!"
"What are your instructions?"
Feng Kuang took a deep breath and said softly: "I always feel something is wrong with today's affairs, and I'm afraid there will be trouble.
After dawn, you take Vishnu and Sanniang away from here and go to your uncle's house in Chang'an to stay for a while.
If nothing happens here, I will send someone to pick you up... If something really happens, you can take your children back to your hometown in Bazhou immediately, don’t make a statement."
Mrs. Qian was shocked when she heard this.
How did this become like this?
"Husband, what happened?"
Feng Kuang's cheeks twitched and said with a forced smile: "Don't ask again, madam, just do what I said..."
"Okay, you go and clean up first, and leave Jincheng after dawn."
Feng Kuang's tone became tougher. Although Mrs. Qian was reluctant, she did not dare to disobey it.
She left with great thoughts, while Feng Kuang sat in the study in a daze.
Time passes by little by little.
Seeing that the Yin hour was approaching, I suddenly heard footsteps outside the study, and a housekeeper said outside the house: "Master, Liang Bantou, who was on duty at the city gate, was asking for a meeting outside. He said that there were several people outside the city, claiming to be in the name of the prince, and he wanted to enter the city immediately."
"On the order of the prince?"
When Feng Kuang heard this sentence, he was shivering.
"Can they prove their identity?"
"The other party handed over the seal letter to Liang Bantou, and Liang Bantou asked the old slave to present it to the master."
As he spoke, the butler handed Feng Kuang a thick-paste seal to both hands. Feng Kuang took it and took a look, his face changed drastically.
The prince’s destiny treasure!
This is the prince's private seal... Although he has never seen it, he has also heard of the origin of this destiny treasure.
Feng Kuang's heart became entangled for a moment.
Why did the prince's man suddenly appear in Jincheng? But before, he didn't hear any wind... A thought flashed through his mind, making Feng Kuang's face suddenly look ugly. The destiny treasure in his hand seemed to have become a hot potato, and he didn't know what to do. Before, Jincheng Inn was attacked, was it just an attack on them?
"Follow me to see the truth."
Feng Kuang had already confirmed that the other party's origin was true, but he was lucky.
He and the butler met with Liang Bantou outside the county government office, hurried to the city gate and climbed the city tower.
The night is like ink.
There was a group of people outside the gate of Jincheng, holding torches, looking a little embarrassed.
Feng Kuang looked at the city head and saw it very clearly.
These people seemed to be dressed like monks, and even carried weapons with them. Feng Kuang felt nervous. After thinking about it, he stood up and shouted at the people under the city: "Listen to the people under the city, you claim to be sent by the prince to the public servants. Why did you come here late at night? Let's report it to the name."
Under the city, Yang Shouwen and Mingxiu looked at each other and nodded.
The fire in the inn was very big, and even a few of them could not extinguish it, and the assassins might return to the inn at any time.
This also made them afraid to stay. After cleaning up for a while, they hurried to Jincheng County.
Hearing Feng Kuang's inquiry, Yang Shouwen stepped forward and whispered loudly to the top of the city: "I am Yang Shouwen, the sage's command, and become a monk at the order of the saint, and call on the Dharma.
Another person from Sigongtai Temple, Gao Lishi, was accompanied by a businessman. He was attacked by bandits in the inn outside the city. I ordered Gao Lishi to go to Longqi City to visit the Heyuan Army envoy Meng Lingqing and asked him to send troops to protect him. Before the Heyuan Army arrived, I wanted to rest and wait in Guixian. I dare to ask who the person who spoke on the city? Can you please report it to me, it is also a good name..."
Gao Lishi was initially in the Prince's Neifang Bureau, but later he was implicated in Yang Shouwen's refusal to marry and was kicked out of the East Palace and worked in the Yeting Bureau. Later, he became a monk in Taohuayu with Yang Shouwen and was promoted to a native of Sigongtai Temple at the beginning of the year, and he was promoted to a seventh-rank position.
Feng Kuang heard this and his heart suddenly stumbled.
He hurriedly said, "But the drunken poem, "How can you serve the powerful and powerful?"
Thinking back to the time, Yang Shouwen was drunk and wrote hundreds of poems, which made him famous in the two capitals.
Although Jincheng is located in a remote place, how could Feng Kuang not know... He could already confirm the other party's identity in his heart, and even more understand that the person he attacked was Yang Shouwen. But he didn't understand that the benefactor had always admired Yang Shouwen, and he also had many praises in his letters to him. Why did he suddenly attack Yang Shouwen?
If someone else is changed, Feng Kuang is really brave enough to silence him.
But Yang Shouwen...not to mention that Feng Kuang dared not, even if he dared, he had to consider the consequences of this matter.
If Yang Shouwen really died in Jincheng, he would not want to stay out of the matter. More importantly, Yang Shouwen was famous in the two capitals and already had a great status in the literary world. If something happened to him, Feng Kuang would never have a good title, and would even implicate his wife and children.
The most important thing is that Yang Shouwen's words revealed another meaning.
I don't believe in your Jincheng County, so I have sent someone to Longqi City to ask the Heyuan Army to protect you. If any accidents happen to me in your Jincheng City, then the court will investigate you, as the magistrate of Jincheng County, you will not be able to cover the sky with one hand.
In other words, Feng Kuang really can't move Yang Shouwen now.
Not only can he not move, he even has to protect Yang Shouwen's safety, otherwise his troubles will be great...
Teacher, you really got rid of the student this time! You said you were so good, why should you participate in this kind of thing?
Feng Kuang vaguely guessed that the attack on Jincheng Inn tonight was likely to be a battle in the court.
He was a county magistrate, but he was involved in such a thing as a seventh rank. It is conceivable how the result is.
But what can he do?
Thinking of this, Feng Kuang's letter was bitter.
But at the same time, he had to show a bright smile and said to Yongzhuang behind him: "Hurry up and open the city and come with me to greet him."
As he spoke, Feng Kuang got off the road and walked to the city gate.
The heavy Broken Dragon Gate slowly rose, and the city gate also opened. Feng Kuang took the lead and walked out of the city quickly. He saw Yang Shouwen and the other four, who had already dismounted and waited outside the city. Yang Shouwen stood in front, standing with his hands behind his back, showing his abyss and silence.
