Chapter 566
With a word "I am a princess", Lu Tong's mind exploded with a "buzzing" sound. As the closest magistrate of Hetianfu, he always left more thoughts about the personnel appointment and removal of officials in the capital. He knew that the princess of the Dashun Dynasty originally had Qingle and Wuyang, but Qingle was just the daughter of a different surname Wang family, and had been demoted to a commoner. The only serious princess was Wuyang. Later, Wuyang was awarded the title of princess, and the position of the princess was given to a person who made Dashunti's heart thriller, and Qianzhou hated him to the core, Feng Yuheng.
The girl in front of her called herself a princess. Looking at her appearance, she is somewhat different from Princess Wuyang at her age, but she is indefinitely consistent with Princess Ji'an.
Punishment Lu Tong finally realized that he had made a fatal mistake. If the girl was really Princess Ji'an, then how many wolves had he borrowed the courage to not only treat him as a maid, but also sent him to the Dutong Mansion as a concubine?
"I, I don't know." Lu Tong said tremblingly, "I don't know you are the princess. Didn't you say that you are from the family of Lord Youxiangfeng?" After saying this, I realized that I had vented more and less breathing. The hand on my neck was like an iron plier, which made him almost faint.
"If my aunt is happy, it is possible to say she is the emperor's daughter." She curled her lips, "But the father has no daughter, so this lie may be exposed if it is pulled."
She called out her father, and Lu Tong's heart was completely cold. Princess Ji'an's identity was confirmed. What else could he expect to survive?
Punishment Lu Tong felt a chill in his heart, and even a sense of death spread. But Feng Yuheng ignored him, but just turned his head and followed him and said, "This kind of slavery system is really bad. It is understandable to spend money to hire people to do productive labor for themselves. But if you have money, you can even buy the life of the laborer, you can marry and decide life and death. This is simply inhumane."
Ban Zuo asked her: "Then what do you think is good?"
Feng Yuheng said: "Everyone should be an independent individual, freedom of love, freedom of marriage, freedom of work, and life must be free. No one has the power to manipulate it. Even parents are just the opinions providers, not the final decision-makers."
Not to mention Lu Tong, even Ban Zuo felt it was incredible to hear this. However, Feng Yuheng's servants were just fine. No matter what their master did, they would firmly support him. Even if Feng Yuheng said he wanted to rebel today, Ban Zuo would never turn around and help her cut the first knife towards Dashun.
"Okay." Ban Zuo nodded, "You have the final say in this world one day, let's try it like this."
Feng Yuheng nodded happily, but Punishment Lu Tong was already trying to commit suicide.
Yes, he just wants to commit suicide. He understands the rules. He will die when he sees what he shouldn't have to see; he will die when he hears what he shouldn't have to hear. He just said that he wants to take control of the world. What exactly is Princess Ji'an going to do? He heard of this plan, is there still a way out?
Just as he was thinking, Feng Yuheng finally remembered him again. He let go of his hand and threw the person on the ground with a "bang", and then asked him: "I said I wanted to make a deal before. You haven't agreed to me yet. Is it not to agree?"
President Lu Tong coughed for a while and finally gasped for a while, but he leaned on the ground and shivered and did not dare to talk.
Feng Yuheng sat down cross-legged and asked him seriously: "I just want to ask you, what is the birthday gift brought to Songzhou? If your answer can satisfy me, I will protect you from your life."
Punishment Lu Tong was stunned and quickly turned the matter in his mind, then asked uncertainly: "Is the princess talking about protecting her life in this northern border or..."
"Of course I will send you back to Dashun Middle Earth to reunite with your family. With this princess here, the Dashun court will not pursue any investigation into your Lu family."
Punishment Lu Tong's eyes lit up, but then dimmed again, and said helplessly: "The princess is joking. The northern border is strictly guarding the death penalty. I am afraid that even a fly cannot fly out, let alone a human being. The princess just asks the order directly, and the subordinates have no ability to resist at all."
Feng Yuheng shook his head, "I can't get the truth, I will only tell you that if I do this in the three northern provinces, Feng Yuheng will definitely be able to do it. I can't stand it, so I burned it with a fire. What can Duanmu Anguo do to me? Lord Lu, you are still betting whether Duanmu Anguo can save your life. Now I can give you a clear chance to survive. How to choose between the two sides is just between your thoughts. In addition, I must remind you that Mrs. Lu's affairs are always a knot in Duanmu Anguo's heart. To be precise, your relationship is an enemy. Cooperating with him is tantamount to seeking a skin with a tiger."
Prison Lu Tong sighed in his heart. He knew that Feng Yuheng was telling the truth, which was also the reason why he did not go to Duanmu Anguo immediately. As for why he could still let him live here, he thought that something big should have happened at the General Administration, and now they have not been able to take care of him.
Finally, he mustered up the courage to look up at Feng Yuheng. This girl had been with him in the carriage for more than two months, but this was the first time he saw such a sharp and smart gaze. He was like a stranger, not the timid millennium anymore.
Finally, he nodded helplessly, "Okay, I believe in the princess."
Feng Yuheng smiled on his lips. The smile was cruel with the feeling of a conspiracy succeeding, but Lu Tong could only bite the bullet and choose to agree. Is it a matter of being a tiger with Duanmu Anguo? Why did he think that working with Princess Ji'an is a matter of being a matter of being a wolf?
"I wonder what the princess wants to deal?" He lowered his head and asked Feng Yuheng, and was also guessing in his heart that he had something he needed to trade with. Could it be that?
Just as she was thinking, Feng Yuheng's voice came again, and she said, "The thing I used to trade with you is the life of your whole family, and the thing you want to exchange for is the birthday gift you brought to the Northern Realm to Duanmu Anguo. Although people from the General Administration of the Ministry had already come to this inn last night and collected all the birthday gifts of each household, you and your wife were not in the inn. I think that thing should still be in the hands of Lord Lu, right?"
Punishment Lu Tong's heart skipped a beat, and he guessed that the county chief was indeed that thing. It was his last way to save his life. He had already thought about it. If the relatives of Duanmu Anguo refused to admit that they wanted to kill him, he would use that thing as a threat and hand it over to him after leaving the northern border, and then report it to the official immediately, fighting for the risk of going to jail, and ask the officials of Dashun to take action to protect his life.
But now, Feng Yuheng asked for it.
Punishment Lu Tong became conflicted again, but he was also a happy person. The conflict was turned around in his heart and made a decision immediately. He stood up, Feng Yuheng was fumbled through his clothes for a while, and finally took out an envelope. When he turned back to Feng Yuheng, he handed the envelope forward and said, "The birthday gift that the lower official has prepared for Duanmu Anguo is this, please check it out."
Ban Zuo took the envelope in front of Feng Yuheng, then opened it open, took a look before handing it to Feng Yuheng, and said at the same time, "This thing can really be a good place in Duanmu Anguo." As he said that, he looked at Lu Tong again and sneered: "The surname is Lu, a mere magistrate of Hetian Mansion, but you can hold this list. I really want to know how this thing came about."
That's right, the thing Lu Tongdao handed over was a list. After Feng Yuheng took the list, he also had the same question as the same classmate. "Almost half of Dashun's official bribery list is on this, and it even details how much money each item will be awarded. Lord Lu, where did you get this thing?"
She was almost certain that this thing was definitely not collected by Lu Tong himself. She only glanced at the list of people, at least thirty, and there were official ranks. Many were still third-rank officials, and even five people were still in the court. The amount of bribes she received was so great that she was surprised. Feng Yuheng knew that if this kind of thing fell into the hands of Duanmu Anguo, it would be equivalent to the lifeline of these high-ranking officials being held in the northern border.
Although the officials who embezzled money and received borers are no different from the worms, even if they have to be cured, they will be cured step by step. It is impossible to eradicate them all at once. That is a matter of moving the foundation of the country. What's more, she has seen the list now. Does Xuan Tianming know? Does Emperor Tianwu know? I'm afraid that even if he knows something, it's not all. These Emperors of Heaven can turn a blind eye. As long as they have made contributions to Dashun, they can keep it for the time being. But I'm afraid that these people will be controlled by Duanmu Anguo, and then Dashun is in danger.
Feng Yuheng took a deep breath and turned Yin Han's eyes to Lu Tongzong again. With just one glance, Lu Tongzong felt cold all over his body, as if those eyes could see his bones, making him unable to keep a little secret.
"I said..." He trembled and his calves were trembling. If the squad hadn't helped him, he would have almost kneeled down again. "I secretly copied this list. The person who recorded it was Zheng Huaian, the governor of Hetian Prefecture."
Feng Yuheng's eyebrows were slightly frowned. Hetian Prefecture, a second-rank official, with his status, if he put some effort into investigating and collecting such a famous unit. Although he didn't know what purpose Zheng Huaian made this list, Lu Tong secretly copied it and gave it to Duanmu Anguo. Such a person who sells the country and seeks honor will keep him alive is really cheap.
She sneered in her heart, and a decision was made quietly, but she was silent on her face. She asked Lu Tong again: "Who else knows this list except Mrs. Lu knows?"
Punishment Lu Tong quickly shook his head: "No more! At least I have not seen it for the third person from Xiaguan. As for whether Zheng Huaian had disclosed it before, Xiaguan didn't know."
