Chapter 209 Chapter 209
It was probably because Mingyue and his party didn't seem to be easy to mess with at first glance. It took more than ten days from Wangnan City to Kyoto through the official road, but they didn't encounter any accidents.

After the group arrived in Kyoto, Mingyue found the closed shop in the best location on the main street according to the address given by Prince Chen.

It is said that this shop used to sell jewelry, but unfortunately the jewelry made was too old-fashioned. Naturally, the business was very mediocre, and the money was repaid every month. In the end, the owner's family closed down and transferred shop.

And Prince Chen bought the shop with a lot of money and wealth. He originally wanted to start a restaurant, but he met a talent like Mingyue, so he finally came up with the idea of ​​starting a jade business.

Of course, doing business is something that is put on the bright side. The most important thing about this shop is to collect information.

This welcome business, and the jade that is worth a thousand dollars, is most suitable for those dignitaries to linger on.

Since the previous emperors took charge of the government, the imperial court has introduced the Tusi system.

"Tusi", also known as "Native Official", is a local official appointed and entrusted by the dynasty. "Secretary Officials, Shitu, Shimin" are its important characteristics, that is, hereditary political rule, hereditary ownership of land in the jurisdiction and the right to attach The hereditary rulership of the peasantry over the land. [1]
However, the disadvantages of the chieftain system are too great. The power of the princes is getting bigger and bigger, and they can do whatever they want with the people in the fief. Over the years, there have been many princes who fish and meat the people.

Even over time, the common people in the princely lands only knew the princes but not the emperor.

Therefore, since the first emperor came to power, he has been thinking about implementing the policy of reforming the land and returning the natives, which means abolishing the hereditary system and bringing power back into the hands of the emperor.

How can those princes be willing to hand over the power in their hands to others?

So there was an open and secret struggle between the first emperor and the prince, and the court became more and more chaotic.

It wasn't until the former emperor passed away that the throne fell into the hands of the current emperor, and the emperor voluntarily backed down a bit, and only then did the princes be comforted.

Of course, this is also a concession on the surface. In fact, the emperor never gave up the idea of ​​cutting the vassal. This is why Prince Chen was not a good prince, but instead became the emperor's purse.

Everyone knows that Prince Chen and the emperor are brothers of the same mother. They were brought up by the former emperor himself. The brothers worked together to bring back the dynasty that belonged to their Murong family.

Now that Mingyue is on the ship of Prince Chen, she is also on the line with the top man in this dynasty.

Therefore, Mingyue also felt that it was imperative to cut down the feudal clan.

After all, wasn't Marquis Dingyuan abandoning his own daughter for such a noble title?
She just wanted him to fetch water from a bamboo basket in vain, and she wanted him to find out that this daughter, who had been abandoned by him, stood on a higher position than him and had a sacred heart.

Of course, since he has just entered Beijing, everything needs to be done slowly.

Mingyue first asked everyone to go down to rest for a few days, then lived in the courtyard arranged by Prince Chen, and asked Ren Yazi to buy a few servants to take care of Mingmei, and then went to the craftsman in Beijing. .

This shop was still decorated when it used to sell jewelry, but now it has been changed to a jade business, so it naturally needs to be replaced.

Moreover, Mingyue does not intend to replace the decoration with that of Ziqi Donglai in Wangnan City, but has some thoughts of her own in it, so she needs to discuss it with the craftsman herself.

Dingyuanhoufu.

Marquis Dingyuan waited for more than half a month, and finally got the news that Wen Pengfei had entered Beijing.

These days, amid the comforting voices of his staff, the anger in his heart has long since dissipated.

In the end it was his son who had been raised for so many years, and he was his only heir. Hou Dingyuan handed over the prepared bank notes to his staff.

"Go and bring the son back. I'm not fit to show up. I'll leave this matter to you."

The aide nodded: "Yes."

After the staff went out, Marquis Dingyuan remembered Mrs. Hou again, and his brows frowned instantly.

If something happened to Wen Pengfei as usual, his wife would have come to him to plead for mercy, but now she seemed to know nothing, which actually made him feel uncomfortable.

After raising her son for such a long time, she just doesn't care about it. Could it be that she is really so cruel?
Hou Dingyuan thought so, and planned to go to the west courtyard to see Mrs. Hou.

No matter what, Wen Pengfei will be their only son in the future, and Mrs. Hou must not be allowed to show her clues and make people realize that something is wrong.

At this time, Mrs. Hou was lying on the soft chair, letting Steward Du press her forehead.

"The master sent a message, saying that he only found out that the eldest lady and her wife disappeared in Wangnan City in the end, but..." Manager Du opened his mouth hesitantly, thinking for a while whether the following things should be Say.

Mrs. Hou kept her eyes closed and listened, "But what? Is there anything you can't say? Say it all, I can bear it."

Du Guanshi pursed his lips and said: "But the master said that his people also found out that the son had appeared in Hanchang County. Moreover, the son took someone to Wangnan City, as if he was looking for someone?"

Madam Hou's eyes opened abruptly, her eyes were full of sternness: "Wen Pengfei has been to Hanchang County?"

Du Guanshi nodded: "Some villagers in Zhoujia Village saw that he lived in the yard next to Chen Xiucai, and saw that they looked alike, and thought they were relatives of Chen Xiucai."

Madam Hou smiled, but it was a frighteningly cold smile.

"It's really a good job. It's so tight to hide this matter, but why did he find out about it? He said that he went out to play with his classmates, so he went to find Mingyue."

Speaking of this, Madam Hou thought of Wen Pengfei's temperament again.

When she thought that Wen Pengfei was her own son, she often wondered. She felt that she was not a fool, and Marquis Dingyuan was full of thoughts. Why did they give birth to such a stupid and bad son?
That's right, even if she used to take her biological mother to watch her son's filters, she was often disappointed with this son, and she knew that he was never a good person, and she apologized and wiped his ass for the bad things he did since childhood.

Thinking of this, Madam Hou's expression changed instantly.

It's no wonder that her daughter is still doing well even after suffering so many years of crimes and living such a rough life.But when she was about to take her daughter to Beijing, her daughter suddenly encountered such a mess.

It turned out that it was so.

Madam Hou gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Wen Pengfei, what a Wen Pengfei!"

But at this moment Marquis Dingyuan came in, and when Mrs. Hou's eyes fell on him, she suddenly realized again.

Why did Wen Pengfei know about this?The root is here.

That was his own daughter, he was so heartless.

Just for this broken title, just for this broken title.

She also thought about being a good wife and mother, but everything was ruined by him.

Madam Hou closed her eyes, it was he who forced her.
