No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 460 The eldest grandson of the Fang family!
Shen Sui is Cao Mian's illegitimate son? !

Cao Mian was famous for his upright style. There were not even two concubines in the mansion, so he even had an illegitimate child?
Calculated, this Shen Sui should be a few years older than Cao Jie, the eldest son of the Cao family.

Gu Jue was a little shocked. He stared at Huo Shan and said, "You mean, Shen Sui was a member of the Cao family from the very beginning, and was deliberately sent as an undercover agent for the Zhen Guojun?"

Huo Shan knelt down on the ground with some exhaustion, stretched out his hand to support the door frame and said, "It should be, he probably didn't expect to be sent to Yingzhou suddenly. I remember...he was not very happy at the beginning, and I didn't either." That’s why we got acquainted with Daxiang. After we came to Yingzhou, before we decided where to start, he had already figured out the situation on Yingzhou Island and soon became the real leader. people. Later..."

Huo Shan said in a daze: "I don't know what he did that day. When I arrived, he had already killed two people. However, he convinced Fang Yuan and me that we planned to kill the other one, because we tried again and again He didn't mean to waver at all, but it was a pity that he ran away. We were worried that Ye Shisan would take out Yingzhou, so we could only follow what he said and go to the Fang family first, and the Fang family accepted us very easily. After that In many things, he also helped us make suggestions and help us win Fang Changyun's trust."

Gu Jue frowned and said, "Has he ever been to Fang's house?"

Huo Shan shook his head and said: "No, the Fang family only thought that Fang Yuan and I killed other people to seek refuge, and didn't know that there was another Shen Sui. We did this because we were afraid that the Fang family would tear down the bridge, so we thought it would be better to keep it."

Keeping one hand is a double-edged sword. If you don't talk about it at the beginning, if you talk about it later, it will inevitably make people doubt your loyalty.

Especially people like them who defected to the Lord from elsewhere.

"Did he come to Yingzhou later?" Gu Jue asked.

Huo Shandao: "In these years, he would come to Yingzhou every three months, sometimes to deliver messages for Cao Mian, and sometimes just to find me and Fang Yuan. He also said some things about himself. Originally, he wanted to go with the king of Chu, but he didn't have much talent on the battlefield. At that time, the king of Chu valued people who could fight more, so he had to rely on his skills to get into the secret camp. When he had time to do something, he was sent to Yingzhou. This matter made Cao Mian very unhappy, and he was punished a lot when he returned."

"Aside from what he thought, did Cao Mian send anyone else into the Zhen Guojun?" Gu Jue asked.

Huo Shan shook his head and said, "I don't know about that."

Gu Jue nodded and was not surprised by the answer, "There is a second question."

Huo Shan gritted his teeth and said, "Fang Yan, he is Fang Changyun's nephew, and his father is the elder brother of Fang Changyun's mother. If Fang Yan's father hadn't died early, Fang Changyun might not have had the chance to inherit the Fang family. After Fang Changyun succeeded He killed many members of the Fang family. If Mrs. Fang hadn't protected Fang Yan, she would have kept a low-key confession. I'm afraid he wouldn't have survived. His father was the most favored eldest son of the Fang family back then. There are still quite a few people who will protect him because of his father's affection. If he comes forward, maybe... some of Fang's family members will turn against him."

Gu Jue thought about it, and wanted to ask something else. The voice of the music player suddenly came from one side, "Why is it so long? Do you think this is your home?"

Huo Shan was startled, he didn't realize when this person appeared at all, when he saw this person leaning against the corner with his arms folded.

Gu Jue was a little embarrassed, and said, "Something happened, is someone here?"

Qu Fang shook his head and said, "It seems that something happened in the back yard, maybe someone will come over later."

Gu Jue shrugged and said, "Okay, let's talk next time. Yao'er."

Qin Yao'er responded, threw a pill to Huo Shan and said, "The antidote."

Huo Shan was hesitant to take it in his hand, Qin Yao'er said: "You don't have to take it, once the blackness spreads to your neck, you don't need an antidote."

Huo Shan just raised his head and swallowed the medicine, and it was really effective. After a while, the black color began to fade, and Huo Shan couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

Gu Jue smiled appreciatively at Qin Yao'er: "Let's go."

Seeing that they walked so simply, Huo Shan hesitated.

Gu Jue smiled and said, "You can try to see whether you are more capable of playing tricks, or the Zhen Guojun is more capable of killing you."

Huo Shan lowered his eyes and said, "Don't dare."

Qin Yao'er chuckled, and walked out behind Gu Jue, and the clear and soft voice came into his ears: "Before you want to think badly, it's better to look at your heart."

what?
Huo Shan was taken aback for a moment, and quickly opened his skirt to look down.

I found that there was a faint bruise on my heart, which looked like a bruise left after hitting somewhere.

He stretched out his hand and pressed lightly, only to feel a piercing pain, and hastily put down his hand.

After a while, the pain just disappeared, as if it never existed at all.

Huo Shan looked up into the yard, and the three people in the yard had disappeared.

"Uncle! Uncle!" The servant's hurried footsteps came from outside the yard.

"Miss suddenly felt a stomachache, as if she was about to give birth!"

Huo Shan quickly closed his clothes, and walked out quickly, "Understood, send someone to invite the doctor and Mrs. Wen."

Although the Huo family's residence is not as good as the Fang family's, there are still many guards.Those three people came and went freely in the house during the day without disturbing anyone. If they wanted to kill him, he would definitely not be able to avoid them.

Even if he risked his life to report the matter to the Fang family, would the Fang family really have any special protection for him, a useless chess piece, just because he was the son-in-law of the Fang family?
Perhaps from the moment he decided to betray the Zhen Guojun, this day was already doomed.

But no matter what, he wants to live!

Since he doesn't want to die, he can only let others die!
"Shen Sui is Cao Mian's illegitimate son?!" Luo Junyao was a little shocked when he heard the news brought back by Gu Jue, "Is Huo Shan's words believable?"

Gu Jue said: "If he really would rather die than surrender, he would not have taken refuge in the Fang family back then. Moreover, I don't think he could have made up such a story in such a short period of time. He didn't hide the news about Fang Yan either. Or deliberately mislead us."

Of course they wouldn't come to the door casually, the second question was just a test for Huo Shan.

If he dared to talk nonsense, then he would really have no value in living.

Luo Junyao nodded and said: "This is interesting, Cao Mian... Did you put people in the Zhen Guojun nearly ten years ago? He is still his own son. It seems that Wen Dinghou is very optimistic about A Yan."

The first emperor had just ascended the throne ten years ago, and no one would have thought that he would die young.

At that time, in the eyes of the world, Xie Yan was more of a young general who was good at fighting, a member of the royal family and the late emperor's confidant.

Gu Jue nodded and said: "Indeed. Princess, Fang Yan's situation is not very good now, we can get in touch with him."

Luo Jun shook his head: "Fang Shuo is dead, so he is also Fang Changyun's suspect, right? After all, we helped him."

Gu Jue smiled and said: "It's useless. Fang Changyun always disliked Fang Yan. If the old lady hadn't protected him these years, he wouldn't be able to live now. The old lady died the year before, and Fang Yan's life in Yingzhou was even more difficult. But Fang Changyun is afraid that Fang Yan will gather his father's old people back to seize the throne, so Fang Yan is not allowed to leave Yingzhou. He is already a trapped beast."

"So for him, we are life-saving straws." Luo Jun shook his head.

"you can say it this way."

Luo Jun shook his head and said, "Go and ask this Mr. Fang to meet."

"Yes." Gu Jue responded, thought for a while and then asked, "What capacity does the princess plan to meet him with?"

Luo Junyao thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Naturally, it's Young Master Dongfang. After all, Fang Yan's surname is Fang. He may not want to do what Fang Changyun wants to do."

Gu Jue nodded, "What the princess said is true."

Unlike Huo Shan, Fang Yan lives in Fang's house.

This is of course due to the fact that he was originally the eldest grandson of the Fang family, but it is more because Fang Changyun is worried about living outside by himself.

Naturally, this couldn't stop Qu Fang, as for Fang Yan's thoughts after receiving the letter, he didn't care about it.

Luo Junyao sat leisurely on the top floor of a restaurant not far from Fang's house, leaning on the window to admire the magnificent and magnificent mansion of Fang's family in the distance.

There are two days left until Fang Changyun's [-]th birthday. In the past two days, there are more and more outsiders in Yingzhou City, and it has become more lively.Naturally, Luo Junyao did not reject such excitement, the more outsiders came at this time, the better for them.

In his free time, Luo Junyao even took Qin Yao'er to the market in Yingzhou City, and bought a lot of things that were considered precious in Shangyong, and the prices were quite gratifying.

It's no wonder that the Fang family is so rich, and the business of middlemen and second-hand dealers has always been huge profits.

"My lord, the guests have arrived." A deep voice came from outside the door.

Luo Jun shook the folding fan in his hands in satisfaction, and said with a smile, "Master Fang, please come in."

A moment later, a middle-aged man in his early thirties came in from the outside. When he saw the young man sitting in the room, he paused first, with a look of anger on his face.

But he quickly restrained his expression and walked into the room.

Luo Junyao put the tea he had just poured across from him, and said with a smile, "Mr. Fang, please sit down."

The middle-aged man looked at the young man in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "Is this young man joking with Fang?"

Luo Junyao slightly raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile, "I thought Mr. Fang should thank me."

This middle-aged man is Fang Changyun's nephew, Fang Yan, the former eldest grandson of the Fang family.

Speaking of which, he was really unlucky. He was the most honorable eldest grandson of the Fang family for more than ten years in his life. When he was sixteen or seventeen, his father suddenly disappeared.

After the second uncle came to power, the concubine of the second house that he looked down on before could be suppressed on his head, and he was also guarded and suppressed by the second uncle. Life was very difficult.

After his grandmother passed away in the past two years, Fang Yan's life plummeted even more.

"My lord, what do you mean by that?" Fang Yan frowned, "My lord and I will live a normal life."

Luo Junyao sighed and said: "It seems that Mr. Fang really doesn't know much about the affairs of Fang's family."

A dark light flashed across Fang Yan's eyes, and he said coldly: "Did the young master come here to ridicule me on purpose? Although Fang is not talented, not everyone can step on the territory of Yingzhou."

Luo Jun shook his chin and smiled: "Young Master Fang misunderstood, I didn't mean that. Since Young Master Fang is here, he is not here to argue with me? Why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea?"

Fang Yan looked at her probingly for a while, then walked to the opposite side and sat down.

Picking up the tea on the table and taking a sip, Fang Yan said: "Young master, can you tell me now? What do you mean I should thank you? Fang asked himself if he owed you any favors."

Luo Jun shook his head and said, "Patriarch Fang hasn't troubled Mr. Fang a lot recently, has he?"

Fang Yan sneered and said, "Second Uncle's birthday is approaching, not to mention...why does he bother me personally?"

Luo Jun shook his head: "Is it possible that he found a more difficult enemy than Mr. Fang to deal with?"

Fang Yan was startled, stared at Luo Jun for a while before saying: "Master's surname is Dongfang?"

This time it was Luo Junyao's turn to be surprised. It seemed that the former eldest grandson of the Fang family was not as low-key and harmless as he appeared.

"Mr. Fang is amazing." After being suppressed by Fang Changyun for so many years, it is indeed amazing to be able to put eyeliner beside Fang Changyun.

Fang Yan said: "If Fang had no means, Master Dongfang wouldn't come looking for me, would he?"

Luo Jun shook his head and said nothing, he still needs to look for it, it depends on how to cooperate.

Luo Junyao played with the folding fan and said, "It seems that Mr. Fang knows what I want to do?"

Fang Yan shook his head and said: "That's not true, I just received some trivial news. I didn't expect that Mr. Dongfang would come to Yingzhou in person. You might as well tell me now, why did you invite Fang to come here?" thing?"

Luo Junyao stared at Fang Yan and asked, "Does Mr. Fang want the Fang family?"

Fang Yan was stunned, and after a while he looked at Luo Jun firmly and said, "Whimsical."

Luo Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "Cao Jie of the Cao family has said similar things, Mr. Fang might as well try another one."

Fang Yan sneered and said, "Young Master Dongfang underestimates the Fang family's power in Yingzhou. If you think you can easily take down the Fang family, please feel free to do so. I will not accompany you to find your own death."

Luo Jun shook his head and said: "Mr. Fang, you are so old, but you are so timid. It's not good."

"It's because I'm timid that I've lived till now." Fang Yan was unmoved, "Young Master Dongfang is quite courageous, I'm afraid you won't live to my age."

Luo Jun shook his head: "Without a dream, what is the difference between living to 99 and a stone? Isn't it the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses on the island and some people in the rivers and lakes?"

Fang Yan looked at Luo Junyao with a sneer, and asked, "May I ask how many people you have?"

Luo Jun shook and blinked his eyes, showing two fingers embarrassingly.

"2?" Fang Yan showed doubts. It was impossible to send [-] people to the island quietly.

Luo Jun shook his head and said, "Two hundred."

"..." Fang Yan felt that the boy in front of him was indeed here to play with him.

Although being able to quietly bring 200 people to the island is considered a bit of skill, but compared with the Fang family, 200 people are almost negligible.

Luo Junyao said very bachelorly, "I don't have many people, but isn't there still Mr. Fang?"

"Do you think I have a horse?" Fang Yan stared at Luo Jun with sharp eyes and shook his head.

Luo Jun said: "I don't believe Mr. Fang really just relied on Mrs. Fang's protection to survive these years. Mr. Fang, to put it harshly, if I don't want to leave Yingzhou, where can I go? If you keep doing this Go on, are you really not afraid that Fang Changyun will attack you that day? Even if you can escape, are you willing to give up the wealth of the Fang family?"

Fang Yan said: "Are you not afraid that I will inform you?"

Luo Jun shook his smile and said, "Even if you tell the truth, will Fang Changyun let you go? If you die sooner or later, you will die sooner or later. Now that you have friends who come to your door, why not give it a try?"

Fang Yan said coldly: "What does Mr. Dongfang want?"

Luo Jun said: "I originally told Cao Jie that I wanted Yingzhou Island."

Seeing Fang Yan sneer, Luo Junyao continued: "I admit... I really didn't expect the Fang family's water to be a bit deep, so I can take a step back now, I only want half of the Fang family's property and merchant ships."

"Master Dongfang has a big appetite." Fang Yan said.

Luo Junyao said generously: "Otherwise, you take half of the Fang family's property and the merchant ship and leave, and leave the rest to me?"

"..." Fang Yan was obviously pissed off, and remained silent for a while.

The room was quiet for a long time before Fang Yan finally said, "I can cooperate if you want, as long as you can prove that you really have the strength."

Luo Jun shook his head and said, "Listen carefully."

Fang Yan said: "Fang Changyun has a adopted son."

"Fang Yuan?"

Fang Yan glanced at him, "It seems that the young master really knows the Fang family very well. Yes, he is a dog like Fang Changyun, and he has caused me a lot of trouble these years. As long as you can kill him, I will cooperate with you. "

Luo Jun waved the ivory-carved folding fan in his hand and said with a smile, "It's a big deal, it's a deal."

Fang Yan stared at her and said: "Master, are you sure? This Fang Yuan's own strength is not weak, it is not easy to kill him."

Luo Jun shook and said: "That's it, Fang Yuan's head will be delivered to you at this time tomorrow."

"..." There is no need for that.

Luo Junyao stood up, leaned over and said with a smile: "Mr. Fang, if you repent at that time, I will burn Fang Yuan's head and yours to ashes, cast them together and throw them into the sea, so that you will never leave them forever."

"..."
