Chapter 115 Embarrassment
Chapter 115 Embarrassment
When Yang Zhounan saw the fish being taken from the bowl, he raised the corner of his mouth and said to Su Chengfeng.
"It's just a guess."
"According to this speculation, the only one left is King Wu." Su Chengfeng said, "I heard that King Wu doesn't like to get involved in court affairs."
Yang Zhounan chuckled.
"Just because he doesn't get involved in the court doesn't mean he can't get involved. There have been many dormant disputes among princes throughout the ages."
This is not without reason. Among the three existing princes, Chen Yun's talent is not the most outstanding, but he is the one who can win the emperor's favor the most.
Compared to them, Chen Yun's appearance and behavior were not as messy as those in the court.
He also often cared about Emperor Shengzhi, so Emperor Shengzhi was quite fond of this son.
Only with Chen Yun could he feel a little warmth between father and son, rather than the affairs of the emperor and his subjects.
Perhaps, for some people and things, the best way to advance is to retreat.
Su Chengfeng nodded without saying anything, and just listened to Yang Zhounan continue speaking.
"Then again, Guo Zhou has been secretly assisting King Zhao for so many years. He must have known a lot of secrets. If he's caught, they'll have a reason to silence him. Guo Yuanqi also caught a cold in prison and is unconscious."
"Besides, even if King Zhao doesn't take action against the two of them, his grandfather Wan Fengnian will definitely take action."
Su Chengfeng lowered his eyes and asked, "Which government office does Wan Fengnian belong to?"
"The Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate is the father of Consort Wan. Wan Cheng'an, the Chief Academician of the Imperial College, is also his son and the uncle of Prince Zhao." Yang Zhounan said.
A strong wind was howling outside the house, blowing into the house through the kitchen window, and rolling up the curtain on the middle door frame.
Yang Zhounan subconsciously narrowed his eyes and turned his face away. Su Chengfeng went to close the kitchen window and asked as he walked over.
"Then what is the feud between the Wan family and the Marquis?"
Yang Zhounan said, "Wan Cheng'an is a playboy and a womanizer. He exploits his position of power to secretly solicit beauties from those who wish to enter the Imperial College. It is said that he doesn't even want prostitutes, but rather young, decent women."
"Most of those women were daughters of poor families. Some were under the age of eleven, still children. Some were deceived into coming here. Many women fell into prostitution because of this, living a life of darkness. Those who couldn't endure it had no choice but to die."
"It wasn't until Magistrate Liu'an's daughter was kidnapped, raped, and murdered that the truth was revealed. People from all over the country dared to report it. However, in many places, reports were cut off at the county government office. Even Magistrate Liu'an had no place to appeal, so he turned to Lord Qing."
Su Chengfeng looked at him and asked, "So with so many women missing, no one has noticed before?"
"They were also afraid of causing trouble, knowing that this matter involved a wide range of people, so many women were deceived under the pretext of becoming concubines, and..." Yang Zhounan said.
"They mainly committed suicide. There are many such cases. As for those who were murdered, who would care?"
He picked up some vegetables and put them down, sighing.
"Qing Jun wanted to intervene and even brought the case to the attention of the Emperor, but was repeatedly suppressed due to insufficient evidence."
"Wan Fengnian used this as revenge to impeach Qingjun and the Minister of Justice, Zhang Tong, and secretly pay homage to the former Minister of War, Lu Heng. Furthermore, with Qingjun assisting the Crown Prince, the situation became increasingly complicated."
In the past, people knew that officials oppressed the people and committed all kinds of evil.
Now, I have seen with my own eyes that these officials have spoken out those evil things themselves.
Su Chengfeng felt that it was even more disgusting than the rumors, and even more hateful than the bandits.
They can take advantage of their power to do evil under the pretext of legitimacy and still live well.
So many young girls have been victimized, and yet that beast is still in a high position, enjoying himself to his heart's content.
If it were among the common people, with Su Chengfeng's avenging nature, he would most likely eliminate the evil for the people again.
No matter whether he is an official or a bandit, kill him first. If he unfortunately falls into the hands of the government, then just accept it.
I came alone and I will leave alone. I have no worries and it doesn’t matter.
"You are truly a maggot worse than an animal." Su Chengfeng suddenly slammed the table and asked, "Why did the Marquis secretly offer sacrifices to the Minister of War?"
Yang Zhounan told the story slowly.
"Lu Heng and Qingjun's fathers were both veterans of the previous dynasty, and they were classmates and friends. He was accused of treason, but the late emperor, considering his merits, only sentenced him to exile. Minister Lu died on the way, and the Duke secretly sent someone to bring back his body, but his hands and feet had been chopped off."
"Do you know that it is..."
"Ah...ah..."
Just as Su Chengfeng was about to ask something, he heard a few melodious calls.
"Who's calling?"
He put down his bowl and chopsticks and walked out, with Yang Zhounan following behind him.
Su Chengfeng stood under the eaves, his eyes sweeping towards the wall next to the courtyard.
Following the intermittent sound, I slowly approached and found that the humming sound became more and more rapid.
“Ah…hurry up…”
"...What's that sound..." Yang Zhounan's head suddenly buzzed, and he shouted anxiously, "Hey! Don't go..."
He was just about to go over and pull Su Chengfeng over when he saw that the man had already climbed up the wooden ladder. He was frightened by something on the other side of the wall and let out a low growl, then fell down.
Yang Zhounan quickly took a step forward and hugged his waist. The ladder swayed sideways and got stuck on the corner of the eaves.
I only heard the man next door shout, "Who is it?"
The usually majestic hero Su looked like a thief at this moment. He pursed his lips and stood there motionless, completely forgetting that he was still being held by Yang Zhounan.
He waited for a while with his eyes rolling, listening to the noise, and suddenly the lewd sounds of "Hmmm, Ahhh" were heard again from next door.
Yang Zhounan hugged the man from behind, very close, his nose touching his ear. He could smell the scent of bath beans from last night on his neck and hair.
It was not like before when he was injured and supported in a daze.
Nor are they the accidental touches when we were playing and joking.
This time it was a complete, sober and quiet hug.
He watched Su Chengfeng blush, break free from his arms and stand up, so embarrassed that he spoke incoherently, rubbing his arms up and down.
"That, that, that next door, next door... ouch... it's just too much to look at."
Yang Zhounan glanced at the wall, coughed lightly, and looked at him.
"I told you not to go, but you still went."
"I..." Su Chengfeng was angry and speechless, and he scolded in a low voice: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? It was a man's shout. How would I know it was... was... Oh..."
Yang Zhounan stared blankly at the blush on his face, which looked innocent, immature and embarrassed.
In just that moment, his heart was also in turmoil.
very……
"You mean two grown men, naked in the yard in broad daylight... and... they're not afraid of being heard."
Su Chengfeng complained and walked into the inner room.
"This place is uninhabitable. Let's go in quickly."
lovely!
Yang Zhounan looked at the hand holding his wrist and felt strange.
The man was tall and rude, and he wasn't a woman, so I don't know why he said that.
He just let the man pull him into the house.
In the past, I was used to seeing Su Chengfeng being careless, noisy, impatient, or calm...
But this kind of shyness is the first time I have seen it.
My previously calm heart began to throb.
Yang Zhounan took a deep breath, calmed his restless mind, went to collect the dishes and wash them, and said with a joking smile.
"Is it really that serious? Isn't that what happens when two people are together?"
"How can this be the same?" Su Chengfeng took an apple from the basket, took a bite, and stood beside him watching him wash dishes.
"How can men and men..."
"Didn't you see it? It's just like that." Yang Zhounan said first: "Have you never read the little picture book?"
Having lived to this age, I have seen this kind of thing a few times, but... I have never experienced the real thing.
His thoughts wandered, and he suddenly remembered the woman who once made his heart beat fast and whom he thought about day and night.
It has appeared in my dreams countless times...
She is a fairy who cannot be touched. I can only watch her from afar. Only at night can I let my restless heart run wild...
Only when you suppress that heart-wrenching feeling and let out a hint of bitterness can you wake up.
Su Chengfeng's face unconsciously flushed again, and there was also a hint of sourness and bitterness of unrequited love.
He took a bite of the apple, turned his face away, and said casually, "That thing is boring."
