Zhumen Hangui

Chapter 303 Disagreement

"Father, the Fifth Prince lives in the old mansion and has been elusive all the time. Sometimes he disappears for several days. I don't know if he got some secret errand."

Su Wenhui looked at his father who was sitting at the top, and frowned.

The second old man waved his hands when he heard the words, "Although we want to date the fifth prince, we should not have too much contact with him. Our Su family is a pure minister in the court. Your uncle has not yet stood in line, so we must not act rashly."

He got up and walked back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back, "Since he has obtained a secret order, then we don't need to inquire too much about what he is doing in Beiyuan Mansion, lest we get into trouble."

Su Wenhui frowned, "Father, don't you think it's strange? Since it's a secret order, why did he stay in our Su Mansion as soon as he came? Isn't he afraid of being exposed?"

He was a little worried at the moment, and always felt that the fifth prince's move had other deep meanings.

"If his whereabouts are exposed and something goes wrong, then our Su family can escape? He doesn't mean he wants to drag our Su family into the water?"

Hearing Su Wenhui's analysis, the second old man fell silent immediately.

"Although your uncle holds a high position in the court, he will be retired in two or three years. What else does our Su family have for others to plot against?"

The second old man was a little puzzled, but the move of the fifth prince was indeed suspicious.

Su Wenhui wanted to speak, but he heard voices coming from outside the study.The second old man waved his hands quickly when he heard this, indicating that there is no need to say more for the time being.

He shouted out: "But Mu Kui is back? Come in."

Mu Kui is the second old man's entourage, and he has been running around for him, which is very important to the second old man.

Mu Kui quickly entered the study, and after saluting, he talked about the results of his investigation in the past few days.

"Master, tell the villain to investigate the fifth prince's movements in the past few days. The villain has received some news and is here to report it."

Only then did Su Wenhui know that his father had already sent someone to investigate the Fifth Prince.

"Talk!" The second old man said solemnly.

"The fifth prince has been in frequent contact with major families in the past few days, such as the You family, the Ma family, the Sun family, and some small merchants. In addition, he often takes people into Fuyan Mountain for hunting these days."

The second old man and Su Wenhui frowned when they heard this, with doubts on their faces.

Su Wenhui thought for a moment and then said: "I heard that the fifth prince loves money?"

He didn't finish his words, but the other two understood what he meant.

The families that Mu Kui mentioned are all merchants. There are famous families in Beiyuan Mansion, as well as rich and powerful gentry.

The You family, the Ma family, and the Sun family are all rich and powerful in the local area, and they make a living all over the place, even reaching the border.

"Hunting?" The second old man's heart suddenly moved.

"You mean he often takes people to hunt?" The second old man looked at Mu Kui and asked.

Mu Kui nodded, "Yes! I go to places very frequently. I heard that the fifth prince has been looking for good hunters recently, and every time he goes into the mountains, he brings a large group of people. The villain sent people to sneak in, and he really found out."

"Oh? What's wrong?" The second old man asked eagerly.

"According to the news, the villain learned that the fifth prince would bring a large group of people into the mountain every time, and then divide the group into two groups, one group followed him, and the other group went hunting."

He paused, "No, the group that was traveling with him was exactly the hunters he had found. Every time they were assigned a place, after two hours, they were still gathering at the same place."

After what Mukui said, why didn't the second old man and Su Wenhui understand?There must be something strange in this!
"Among the group brought by the fifth prince, there are a few people who are very strange. What is certain is that they are definitely not Orion."

The second old man and Su Wenhui looked at each other, their eyes were full of doubts, and the study suddenly fell silent.

After a while, Su Wenhui said: "If this is the case, they must have other purposes for entering the mountain."

The second old man looked contemplative, "But what is there in this mountain that is worth their trip?"

"Could it be?" Su Wenhui's eyes were full of shock, he looked at his father, and then walked quickly to the desk.

Su Wenhui dipped his fingers in the tea and wrote a word on the desk.

The second old man quickly followed up, and after seeing it, he was stunned on the spot.

mine!
The two were short of breath, a little shocked, and a little excited.

After waiting for a while, their emotions gradually calmed down.

The Fuyan Mountain stretches for thousands of miles, and the mountains are closely connected. If you go into the deep mountains, you may not be able to find the way out.

Therefore, where the fifth prince and the others are going, they have to go there in person, and then draw a map.

"Mukui! From today onwards, send some more people to keep an eye on the Fifth Prince's whereabouts. If he goes hunting again, then find a way to follow them secretly, and make sure to see clearly the terrain of the place they are going to."

Seeing the serious expression on the second old lady's face, Mu Kui quickly nodded in response.

"However, you must be careful in everything, and you must not let them find out. If it is not feasible, don't force it, so as not to be caught by them."

After Mu Kui left the study, Su Wenhui said eagerly: "Father, do you think this possibility is high? If it is really a mine, what kind of mine would it be?"

The second old lady nodded, "Since it is so mysterious and it was appointed by the emperor, there is a great possibility of a mine. No matter what mine he is, it is an existence worthy of the court's attention."

Su Wenhui's eyes lit up, if it's a mine, then as a family of Beiyuan Mansion, can they do it?
He shouted excitedly: "Father, let's write to uncle right away, we have to plan carefully."

The second old man shook his head immediately, "No hurry! This matter has not been confirmed yet, so we have to confirm it first. You don't understand your uncle's temperament? He won't act rashly until it is confirmed."

"But once we confirm it, we will lose the opportunity. Beiyuan Mansion is not only our Su family, there are so many families, even those merchants, who wouldn't want a piece of the pie?" Su Wenhui was impatient at this moment.

"Let's investigate first, or we can deploy first, so that we don't have time, and we can only envy others."

The second old man was also full of emotion, he had the same thoughts as his son.

"Father, you said that the Fifth Prince lives in our Su Mansion, so he doesn't mean he intends to cooperate with our Su family?"

Su Wenhui thought of the fifth prince, and immediately said: "If he really has that intention, why not cooperate with him?"

The second old man was shocked, and then he hesitated.

"I see what your uncle means. Even if you want to stand in the team in the future, you will still rely on the third prince, right? I'm afraid it's not a good thing for us to get involved with the fifth prince."

Su Wenhui was anxious, "Father, Uncle is about to rule the world, but who else in our Su Clan can hold a high position now? For so many years, he has always been on top, and the younger generations of the clan have never made achievements in the court, and there is no one to see him." Who did he really promote."

As he spoke, he approached the second old man's ear, and said softly: "Isn't this a good opportunity? If we, the Su family, want to go further, we must not let this opportunity go."
