The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 228 228. Darts

So he kowtowed to Feng Jinxu desperately, and when he raised his head again, he was crying and begging for mercy.

"Sir, have mercy on me, please have mercy on me, I'll tell you the truth, I'll tell you the truth!"

Seeing that the situation was over, she was about to speak when she saw the second-room gardener who had been kneeling in the yard without daring to say a word. Suddenly a man jumped up and aimed a dart at Dingdong, hitting her in the throat and killing her on the spot!

Then, before everyone could react, he also killed Lao Fu and Fu Li. The same darts were fatal.

"catch him!"

Without waiting for Feng Jinxu's instructions, Feng Er and Fu Yi took action at the same time. Unfortunately, they were not as quick as him. The dart cut their own throats and they died soon after.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, Feng Jinxu also knew that the thread was broken.

But based on his intuition, it must be someone in the second room who has a grudge against the second aunt who would lay such a trap.

The kneeling gardeners of the second room were all kowtowing desperately.

"Sir, have mercy on me, please have mercy on me, you guys all obey Cui Tou. I really didn't know that the flower would harm the eldest lady, otherwise I wouldn't have sent it to the second lady's room!"

"You mean the second aunt also has this thing in her room?"

"Yes, yes, it was the second lady who saw it and was so happy that she sent us to Dongdu City to help the eldest lady cultivate this flower."

An unintentional sentence cleared away the suspicion of the second aunt Hua Shi.

In this case, it would be like what the eldest brother said, the person behind the scenes deliberately framed the second aunt in order to sow discord between them and the eldest family.

But who exactly that person was, Dingdong didn’t tell him before he died.

Everything is back to square one. The only thing that is certain is that the second aunt is innocent.

"You two go down and tell us everything related to the dead Cui Tou. If there is any lie, watch your head."

Feng Jinxu's threatening words made several people afraid.

The corpses left in this place were buried in Baiban. Later, they went to Tianfu to retaliate, saying that they were the slaves in the family who harmed the master, so they all committed suicide out of fear of crime.

Their slave status was cancelled, and they were sent back to their respective homes.

On the carriage back to the city, the three of them were speechless.

Now, they were about to find out the person behind it. If it weren't for Cui Tou's murderous hand, I'm afraid the person behind it would have been revealed now, so why would it be so difficult for them to do so.

At the city gate, Feng Jinxu revealed the token he had used at Dali Temple in the past and entered the city smoothly.

By the time the three of them returned to Feng's house, it was already late at night.

Everyone was tired after this journey and naturally wanted to go back and rest.

Feng Er was afraid that Feng Jinyao would see blood today. He was so frightened that he couldn't sleep and asked Yun Xu waiting at the door to make her a bowl of thick soothing soup so that she could sleep well.

Feng Jinyao knew that her second brother cared about her, and said with some relief.

"Second brother, don't worry. Their deaths are deserved. I'm not afraid."

"That's good."

He said this, but his expression did not relax. He looked at Yun Xu and saw her nodding secretly.

They each returned to the courtyard, but Feng Jinlin unexpectedly bumped into an uninvited guest.

"Su Cheng? Why are you here?"

"What are you talking about? Where did you go? I've been waiting for most of the day and I still haven't found you. When you come back so late, are you resting on some beautiful woman's couch?"

He didn't look serious when they met, but he showed the look of this playboy to his core.

If Feng Jinlin hadn't known his true identity, he would have been deceived by him.

"There's something going on at home. I went to deal with it with my eldest brother and Ayao. You haven't said anything yet. Why are you here?"

"I have something important to tell you."

He stepped forward and whispered to Feng Jinlin. He was surrounded by secret guards from Prince Ding's palace, so he was not afraid that the news would be exposed.

"What!"

The Wen family father and son are so bold! Even in the imperial examination, he dared to openly accept bribes and tamper with the examination papers. Doesn't this chill the hearts of the people in the world?

This is not what you would do if you wanted to die.

He has experienced a lot of temptations since he was a child. If he couldn't resist it, he would be dead by now. But the Wen family is not a family that is short of money. How could it be...

In the final analysis, it is still the root cause of the disaster caused by the influence of power and the confusion of people's minds.

"What does the prince mean?"

"Stand still and wait until the Spring Festival is over and the Wen family's crime of deceiving the emperor is confirmed before dealing with it."

Feng Jinlin nodded, thinking of Yin Canwen who lived in the next room. He was also from a poor family. If Wen Meng had the idea of ​​changing his test papers, wouldn't it mean that he would lose his chance to get ahead.

If such a good talent is really buried because of this, it will be a loss for Dajin.

What Feng Jinlin thought happened to be what Wen Mengsheng planned.

He has been dissatisfied with Yin Canwen for a long time. He is a talented person, but he comes from a poor family. Even if he holds his position, no one dares to question him.

Anyway, every year there are many cases where students from poor backgrounds fail in exams because they are too nervous, and he is no different.

So, I discussed the matter with my father.

But Wen Jingsong refused.

"Are you crazy? His reputation has been exposed in Yunqi Academy and Yangchun Poetry Society. Are you going to challenge him? What if he gets the top prize? Is your knowledge worthy of his examination paper? "

At this point, Wen Jingsong was not dazzled by the benefits, but these words were a bit unpleasant, and Wen Mengsheng was unhappy.

"Father belittles his child in this way? Is Yin Canwen really that powerful?"

Wen Jingsong smiled, saying that he would not say this about him in other matters, but regarding the matter of talent studies, although he had never dealt with Yin Canwen, this person was favored by all the deans of the four major academies, and he was definitely indistinguishable.

So he waved his hand and said to Wen Mengsheng, "As a father, I will take care of it. If you really want to go to the front, you should try your best."

One sentence left Wen Mengsheng unable to reply.

His talents and learning are not bad, and he is also ranked among the young masters of the capital's aristocratic families. But compared with Yin Canwen, he is not far behind Yin Canwen. If his cousin is here, I am afraid he can still compare with him. He, forget it Bar.

It's a pity that the obsession has taken root in my heart. If a poor boy who has entered the Feng Mansion is allowed to compete with him, will he still want his face?

Then an evil thought came into my mind.

On one side, Wen Mengsheng was thinking about how to suppress Yin Canwen. On the other side, the Feng family's Wen family received a letter from Shuzhou.

When I opened it in a hurry, I was so happy that I wanted to jump on the spot a few times!

Zhu Jin asked curiously, "What's wrong with grandma? Are you so happy?"

"My mother wrote a letter, saying that she is on her way, and she has brought her younger brothers and sisters with her. It will probably take about twenty days to reach the capital."

"That's great. Grandma hasn't seen her family for a long time. This time, I specially asked my wife to come over and accompany you until the birth. I really care about our affection."

"yes."

Thinking of my mother and siblings on the road, I felt concerned and worried. It would be better to arrive in Dongdu City earlier so that I could reunite with them as soon as possible.
