meet again

Chapter 424

Commander Lei personally sent the poisoned wine into the imperial prison.

Xue Lin smiled miserably: "If one step is wrong, every step is wrong." He reached for the wine glass and drank it down.After a while, his face turned black and he died of poison.

Commander Lei watched this scene silently, not knowing what it was like.

For more than ten years, Xue Lin has held a high position and authority, what a prestige.The Xue family also benefited from this, and everyone scrambled to please.Who would have thought that in just a few years, it would fall to this level.

Xue Lin's death was also happy.Perhaps the emperor will spare the rest of the Xue clan.Otherwise, even if the nine clans of the Xue family were exterminated, no one would intercede for the Xue family if they were implicated in a serious case of treason.Xue Lin's heart was clear, so he explained everything neatly and took the initiative to die.

Witnessing Xue Lin's death with his own eyes, he couldn't help feeling a little bit sad.

Korean and Chinese officials rely on imperial examinations to gain a foothold, while generals rely on military merits.In Jinyiwei, the emperor's trust is the most important thing.It is not an exaggeration to say that Jin Yiwei is the emperor's private soldier.

As the commander of Jinyiwei, he can't do it for long.This position should have been vacated earlier for Shen You...

Commander Lei made many thoughts flash through his mind, and finally, it turned into a sigh.

Xue Rin's death did not attract much attention.A Jinyiwei commander who has been out of office for several years, and a Xue family that has completely declined, are no longer worthy of attention.

Emperor Qing'an didn't even let the crown prince see the file presented by Commander Lei, so Eunuch Yang carefully put it away.Then, Emperor Qing'an ordered Yang Gonggong to write a letter and send it to Cui's house.

When Feng Shaojun received this letter, the news of Xue Rin's death had just reached his ears.

Why would the adoptive father suddenly write to her?
Feng Shaojun was uncertain in his mind, as if nothing had happened on his face, he took the makeup box with a smile.

Mrs. Xu vaguely guessed something, didn't ask any more questions, and said with a casual smile: "Brother Xu is with me, you go back to the house and rest."

Feng Shaojun nodded, got up and went back to the house, opened the makeup box, took out the letter and unfolded it.After reading a few words, the smile on Feng Shaojun's face disappeared quietly, and the hand holding the letter paper was suddenly exerted.

This letter was written by Eunuch Yang, but in the tone of Emperor Qing'an.

Feng Lun's tragic death was the mastermind of Cao Zhen.Xue Lin closed the case hastily, not only because of Cao Zhen, but also because of Prince Fu.

At that time, Princess Ninghui was in love with Xinke Tanhualang, and Prince Fu made people come to her house to talk about marriage.Feng Lun was unwilling to abandon his fiancée and marry another, so he flatly rejected the marriage.Prince Fu's mansion lost all face.

Prince Fu has always held a grudge.Feng Lun has been depressed in the officialdom because Prince Fu made things difficult for him.

Feng Lun sought the post of censor of Lianghuai Salt Road.Prince Fu secretly wrote to Cao Zhen.Cao Zhen is the nephew of Empress Dowager Cao, and he and Prince Fu are cousins, and they have very close contacts.To make things difficult for a small Yandao censor is nothing more than a piece of cake for Cao Zhen.Cao Zhen readily agreed.

However, even Prince Fu did not expect that after Feng Lun took office, he quickly noticed that there was a problem with the salt tax and secretly investigated Cao Zhen.

In this way, there is no need for Prince Fu to instruct him, and Cao Zhen will never let Feng Lun go.

Later, Feng Lun died tragically at the hands of bandits in the green forest, and Xue Lin was ordered by the emperor to investigate the case.Prince Fu ordered someone to send a message to Xue Rin, and Xue Rin quickly closed the case half-pushed.

Now, Xue Rin was executed by poisoned wine, and Cao Zhen could not escape the end of decapitation.

Prince Fu is here, but it is inconvenient to deal with it.

First, Prince Fu did not directly intervene in Feng Lun's murder.Secondly, Prince Fu is the younger brother of the first emperor and the uncle of Emperor Qing'an's direct line.Emperor Qing'an dealt with King Qin and King Han, and liquidated Cao's family, all of whom were famous teachers.But it is inconvenient to do anything to his uncle.

……

Feng Shaojun read the letter again, fell silent for a moment, brought the firefly over, and lit the letter.The flames devoured the letter paper and quickly reduced it to ashes.

It turned out that not only the Cao family but also Prince Fu were behind the tragic death of his father.

The emperor can do this for her, and there is really nothing to be dissatisfied with.With Xue Rin's confession alone, Prince Fu cannot be convicted.

Prince Fu is the uncle of Emperor Qing'an's direct relative, and also the Zongzheng of the clan mansion, in charge of all the thousands of royal family members.With the support of Prince Blessing, Emperor Qing'an was able to successfully ascend the throne and secure the throne.

Emperor Qing'an couldn't touch his foundation.

Knock knock knock!
Feng Shaojun recovered from the silence when he heard the knock on the door: "Who?"

"It's me!" Xu's slightly worried voice came from outside the door.

Feng Shaojun settled down and went forward to open the door.It was already late at this time, and the candles had not been lit in the room. In the dim light, Feng Shaojun's complexion was strangely solemn.

Xu's heart tightened, and he asked in a low voice: "Is something wrong?"

Feng Shaojun didn't want his grandmother to be worried, so he responded briskly: "It's nothing. It's just that the news came out from the palace. After my father died, the commander of Jinyiwei Xue Lin and Cao Zhen secretly had some collusion, and the case was hastily closed."

"Now, Xue Rin has been executed."

"The evidence of Cao Zhen's crime is convincing, and he cannot escape death. My father is under the Nine Springs, so he can rest in peace."

Xu's eyes were a little hot, and he stretched out his arms to hug Feng Shaojun: "My good boy, you have suffered a lot these past few years."

If it wasn't for reversing the case for his own father, Feng Shaojun wouldn't have worked so hard to work for the emperor, going through life and death.

Grandma's embrace is still so warm.

Nestling in Xu's arms, Feng Shaojun seemed to be able to absorb a steady stream of strength.She said softly, "Grandma, at first I did this for revenge. Now, I do it because I like it."

"I don't find it hard at all."

So, don't feel sorry for me.

Xu couldn't laugh or cry, and swallowed back the tears that came to the corner of her eyes.

Feng Shaojun didn't mention anything written in the letter, but said with a smile: "Grandma, I'm hungry."

Xu wiped the corners of his eyes, smiled and said, "The kitchen has already prepared the food. I'll let someone pass the meal on."

At dinner time, Cui Yuanhan brought Mrs. Song and Cui Dalang and Cui Erlang brothers.The whole family sat together and ate dinner lively.

Then, Cui Yuanhan smiled at Feng Shaojun: "Cousin, the house next door has been tidied up. We plan to start moving tomorrow."

Feng Shaojun smiled happily: "When the move is done, we have to serve a house-warming wine. I will give my cousin and sister-in-law a generous house-warming gift."

Cui Yuanhan grinned and said, "Then I won't be polite with my cousin."

In fact, the house was packed half a month ago.However, Feng Shaojun was not yet confinement at that time, so Cui Yuanhan simply stayed for more than half a month longer.

Now that Feng Shaojun is out of confinement, the husband and wife have discussed it, and it is time to move.

Mrs. Xu coughed suddenly: "Yuan Han, you and Mrs. Song moved to the next door with the children, and I will stay here for the time being."

Cui Yuanhan was taken aback, and looked at his wife.
