Marrying a wife and a concubine together? Wouldn't it be better to divorce and become the queen
Chapter 132 Feng Zheng was arrested, Xie Yan was furious
King Gaoyang brought his men back to the hall.
Xie Yan asked him what happened, and King Gao Yang said:
"My daughter is not feeling well."
Xie Yan said, "There is a doctor at home. I'll ask Doctor Bai to go over and take a look."
King Gao Yang thanked him, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Xie Yan gave the order.
Although Xie Yan asked Feng Shuyao to come out and hold the wedding banquet as scheduled, it was because the imperial decree to promote Feng Shuyao to the Princess of Chu had come down. If it was not held, others would definitely be suspicious.
Xie Yan had suffered a lot in his marriage before, so this time he had to make sure that outsiders saw that he and Feng Shuyao were loving and happy.
As for the deception, how he would deal with it in the Prince of Chu's Palace was a matter for the future.
Xie Yan forced himself to smile and chatted with the guests. When it was Xie Jin's turn, he poured a glass of wine:
"Uncle, I was very sorry for what happened that day. I apologize to you today."
He drank it all in one gulp.
I was already feeling drunk at this time.
He looked at Lian Xing and said, "Uncle, why didn't Feng Qingluan come with you?"
It was Feng Qingluan who saved his life, and he misunderstood her for two years.
When he doted on Feng Shuyao in the past, he did many things to Feng Qingluan that made her sad and upset.
He held a wedding banquet with Feng Shuyao thinking that Feng Qingluan would come for revenge, but she did not show up.
Did Feng Qingluan let him go easily just to save his face, or did she let him go completely?
Even ridicule and mockery can't spur her to come to him?
Xie Jin said calmly: "Don't you know why she didn't come?"
Xie Yan choked and said, "It is my nephew who is rude."
He took the glass and went somewhere else.
Feng Shuyao was very happy. No matter what, Xie Yan always loved her.
Otherwise, she would not have released herself and announced to everyone that she had truly become the Princess of Chu, fulfilling her wish.
Feng Shuyao drank the wedding wine and thought to herself that Xie Yan still cared about her, which meant that she still had a chance to turn things around.
She glanced in the direction of the prince intentionally or unintentionally.
After not seeing him for a few days, the prince looks more handsome than ever.
She finally took the position of Princess of Chu, and would be able to serve the prince more in the future.
I wonder if the prince will feel moved when he sees her now that she is so beautiful?
Xie Heng didn't even look at her. Feng Shuyao was able to climb to the position of Princess of Chu with her clumsy means. Xie Yan was really an idiot, being played around by women. With such intelligence and vision, she still wanted to compete with him for the throne. It was simply an insult to him!
Feng Qingluan looked at the expressions of these three people as if she had a God's perspective.
Xie Yan probably hasn't noticed the relationship between Feng Shuyao and the prince yet, as she had already prepared a big surprise for him.
But today, he has to accept another thing first.
The banquet was going on very lively. After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere was very high when the butler hurriedly came to report:
"Your Highness, people from Jingzhao Prefecture are here."
Xie Yan was already about 50% drunk, and he didn't even raise his head:
"He's late, so let him drink three cups as punishment!"
The housekeeper lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, they are not here to congratulate you, they are here to arrest someone. Someone went to Jingzhao Prefecture to report that Master Feng Er had lent money at high interest rates, and the amount involved was not small.
Jingzhao Prefecture Yin personally brought people here. He knew that the palace was holding a wedding banquet and did not enter the door. He was waiting outside the door. Please go out and deal with it quickly. The guests are all in the hall. Don't make a fuss here. It's best to solve it in a low-key manner."
The butler glanced in Feng Zheng's direction with a look of disappointment.
Feng Zheng was still toasting with the ministers, and was extremely happy.
He didn't expect that this seemingly gentle man would actually dare to lend money at high interest!
Isn't it because Feng Shuyao is favored by the prince that he dares to do this?
Maybe the money he used to lend money was supported by their newly-crowned princess. If that were true, His Highness would be dragged down by them and commit a sin.
Lending money at high interest rates is a serious crime in the Kingdom of Daxia.
Xie Yan's wine sobered up a lot when he heard the news:
"Go and bring Feng Zheng out!"
After greeting the guests, Xie Yan took Feng Zheng to the gate of the mansion.
When Jingzhao Prefecture Governor Hou Zhizhi saw him coming out, he was the first to speak:
"Your Highness, there is a wedding banquet at your residence today, and I shouldn't have come to disturb you, but this is a serious matter, so I have to come and arrest someone. Please understand, Your Highness."
When Feng Zheng saw that they had arrived at the government office and the King of Chu asked him to come out alone, he had a bad feeling.
He looked at Hou Zhizhi nervously, and Hou Zhizhi also looked at him. Feng Zheng's heart skipped a beat, and he probably had some guess, so he avoided his gaze guiltily.
Xie Yan looked gloomy and asked Zhizhi:
"what's the situation?"
Hou Zhizhi said: "It is like this, Your Highness. Half an hour ago, someone came to Jingzhao Prefecture to report that Master Feng Er had lent money privately, the amount was as high as 50,000 taels of silver, and hundreds of people were involved.
The people he released were all from the gambling house, and the five people who came to report were also gamblers. I have sent people to several places where Master Feng Er often appeared, and found witnesses and evidence, so I came to the Chu Palace to arrest Master Feng Er and bring him back to Jingzhao Prefecture for questioning. "
The amount is as high as 50,000?
Xie Yan looked at Feng Zheng in surprise. Wasn’t he penniless when he was driven out of the Marquis’ Mansion?
Where does the money come from to lend money at high interest rates?
Hou Zhizhi would definitely suspect that it was the Chu Palace that secretly funded Feng Zheng and provided him with silver.
After confirming that the government officials came to him for the usury, Feng Zheng panicked and pulled Xie Yan aside:
"King Chu, I am your father-in-law. I don't want to go to jail. Please help me."
He grabbed Xie Yan's sleeve.
Xie Yan threw it away angrily.
He admitted his crime by saying this!
Xie Yan said: "You can take him away."
He then said to Hou Zhizhi: "I know nothing about his affairs, and I have never paid him to commit a crime. Hou Zhizhi, you must investigate and do not bring shame to the Chu Palace!"
Hou Zhizhi said, "Yes, Your Highness."
He waved his hand, and two bailiffs came up and took Feng Zheng away.
Feng Zheng begged desperately, but seeing Xie Yan ignored him and seemed to be fair and strict, he shouted at the palace:
"Shuyao, Shuyao, come out and save your father! Your father is about to be captured!"
When he shouted like that, most of the guests at the banquet heard the noise outside.
Zhinan thought it was his master's voice, so he ran to the door and saw the people from Jingzhao Prefecture arresting Feng Zheng. His face turned pale and he ran to tell Feng Shuyao:
"Princess, it's bad. There are officials trying to arrest the master. They are right outside the door."
When Feng Shuyao heard this, she quickly ran towards the palace gate, shouting as she ran:
"Stop! What are you doing with my dad? Stop it now!"
She came out, and the other guests followed her out to see what was going on.
Seeing a large group of people walking towards the gate of the palace, Xie Yan was so angry that the veins on his forehead popped out.
Said to Hou Zhizhi: "Hurry up and drag him away!"
Feng Zheng was still yelling at the top of his lungs:
"Shu Yao, save Dad, save Dad."
Feng Shuyao rushed to Feng Zheng and grabbed him, then yelled at the people from Jingzhao Prefecture:
"Why are you arresting my father? Let him go! Let him go!"
There was a scuffle in front of the Prince of Chu's palace, and passers-by stopped to watch the situation.
Seeing more and more people gathering around, Xie Yan wanted to kill Feng Zheng and Feng Shuyao!
Feng Zheng and Feng Shuyao are two idiots, is this an honorable thing?
Are you shouting at the top of your lungs to attract all the people in the capital to come to the Prince Chu's Palace to watch the fun?
How could he have gotten involved with these two plague gods? They almost pissed him off!
