Jiang Hu Qi Gong Lu

Chapter 985
After Lin Xiqi left, Hu Wo returned to the study with a gloomy expression on his face.

At the banquet just now, he and Lin Xiqi mingled with each other and became confidants.

But that's just on the surface
It was the first time he and Lin Xiqi met, and they had no friendship at all. Even because of Yao Qile's incident, his relationship with Lin Xiqi was destined not to be very good.

Unless it's His Royal Highness the Third Prince who doesn't care.

As far as he knows His Highness, His Highness can't ignore it.

Even if there is no action now, it does not mean that there will be no revenge in the future.

However, the property that Lin Xiqi sent him this time made him feel good.

Anyway, if others give money, then I can't put on a face.

Taking care of the caravan of Sifang Company?
That is impossible.

The Sifang Company is really rich, no wonder, in the border area of ​​Liangzhou, which is the sphere of influence of the Fuyun Sect, the Sifang Company has naturally flourished there.

It is normal for the Sifang company to ship some goods purchased from the Western Regions and other places to the Central Plains in the Mainland, and it is normal to sell them at several times, even if it is more than a dozen times, it is not surprising.

Not only will I not be able to take care of the Sifang Company in the future, but I have to tell Zhou Li to strengthen the looting of the Sifang Company.

Thinking of this, Hu Wo's gloomy face slowly disappeared, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"In a few years, I will be able to compete for the post of State Shepherd." Hu Wo said softly.

As long as His Highness is willing to fight for him, I dare not say that I am very sure of the state shepherd position, but there is still [-]% to [-]% chance.

If you want His Highness to help, you have to look at your performance, and your ability lies in collecting money.

"Come here."

A servant hurried in.

"You go to spread the news, just say that the next official position will be increased by [-]% on the original basis." Hu Wo said.

"Yes, my lord, the little one will do it right away."

After the servant finished speaking, he turned and prepared to leave.

"Wait." Hu Wo stopped him again, "Double it."

"Huh? Yes."

"Forget about the caravan of Sifang Company this time." Hu Wo thought to himself, "But let's make up for this gap first."

Lin Xiqi was in the caravan, so it was obviously inappropriate to do it again.

There is no preparation on my own side, and there are not enough masters.

In the future, if you really want to attack the caravan of the Sifang Company, you have to ask His Highness for instructions.

In this way, His Highness can send more masters to himself.

"My lord! My lord, it's not good." Suddenly, a person suddenly retreated from the study door and broke in.

"What's the matter?" Hu Wo looked displeased.

That is his cronies, otherwise he would have killed others if they dared to do so.

"Second Lord, he, he~"

"He, he, he, he can't even speak clearly?" Hu Wo slammed his hands on the desk and shouted.

"The life and death of the second master is unknown."

"What did you say?" Hu Wo suddenly stood up from his chair, his eyes widened, and he stared fiercely at his cronies.

The confidant couldn't help but said hastily: "Just got the news that the Fengshan bandits are almost wiped out."

"Where is Zhou Li? Where are the six masters we sent?" Hu Wo was taken aback, "Who did it?"

"They should all be dead. The subordinates suspect that Sifang Company did it."

"If you die, you die. What do you mean they should all die?"

"There are quite a few corpses beyond recognition. Judging from the clothes they wear and their body height, it is very likely that they are them."

"Where's Zhou Li?"

"Second Lord is also in this situation. The subordinates are more inclined to be captured, otherwise they don't have to deliberately destroy the appearance of the corpse."

Hu Wo sat back on the chair.

From this point of view, Zhou Li might really be alive.

After pondering for a while, he said, "Are you suspicious of Sifang Company?"

"Yes, the place where the accident happened is on the business road that Sifang Company came here. In fact, the subordinates feel that this incident has something to do with Lin Xiqi."

Hu Wo took a deep breath.

"It should have nothing to do with him." Hu Wo said in a deep voice.

"grown ups?"

"If it was really him who did it, why did he come to look for me just now?"

"This?" The confidant hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, it's also possible that the kid is so suspicious and wants to confuse you?"

Hu Wo was silent.

Needless to say, this is also possible.

"Isn't he afraid of self-defeating and making us doubt him even more?" Hu Wo asked.

"My lord, it is difficult for the subordinates to judge for a while."

Originally, if Lin Xiqi came here just to help the Sifang Company establish a relationship, then they didn't need to think about it at all.

It's just that such a thing happened now, so I don't need to think about it.

As far as Hu Wo is concerned, he still doesn't quite believe that Lin Xiqi did it.

If he really did it, why did he come here just now, to demonstrate?

It is unlikely, Hu Wo believes that it is impossible for Lin Xiqi not to know that His Highness the Third Prince is behind him.

"I heard that many people from the world have gone to the capital recently." Hu Wo said suddenly.

"Yes, it seems to be related to the treasure of the previous dynasty."

"Hmph, treasures, treasures, these people in the Jianghu are obsessed with ghosts. Is there any treasure waiting for them to dig? Even if there is, how can they get it? In the end, they didn't lose their lives in vain."

"My lord, people in Jianghu think differently from your lord."

"There should be a lot of people passing through the rivers and lakes of Fengshan County, right?" Hu Wo didn't bother to pay attention to the treasure.

Hearing the adult's question, the confidant immediately understood what he meant.

"My lord, do you think it is possible that these people in the world did it?"

"It's not impossible." Hu Wo sighed, "It doesn't matter whether Zhou Li is alive or dead. If those six people are really dead, I'm afraid I will have an explanation from your Highness."

"My lord, if this is the case, then this subordinate feels that regardless of whether it is true or not, this matter should be blamed on Sifang Company. At that time, His Highness can have an excuse~~~"

"Hey, if this Sifang company is on our territory, even in the capital, no, it can be done in other states, we can do this, first name him as a murderer, and then raid his house, all the property of the company will be included Hand of His Highness. It’s a pity that Sifang Company is in Liangzhou, and now even the Third Highness can’t touch Liangzhou for a while.” Hu Wo sighed, “I know, His Highness still misses Liangzhou deep in his heart, but now Liangzhou It is already the world of the Floating Cloud Sect, and His Highness has no intention of breaking up with them for the time being. After all, His Highness's focus is still in the capital, and the throne is the most important thing."

"Then we have to find another house." The aide frowned.

The adults obviously rejected his proposal just now, even if it was really done by Sifang Company and Lin Xiqi, they can only pretend not to know now.

"Just find a family from the city, and say that they colluded with people in the rivers and lakes and conspired to assassinate this official. Six of them died protecting me. Let's report this way to Your Highness." Hu Wo said, "Remember, the family wealth must be rich. Yes, otherwise His Highness will not be so easy to explain."

"Well~~ Sir, how about the Dong family? What do you think?"

"It's up to you to decide. By the way, you can also send someone to Sifang Company to ask. If Zhou Lizhen falls into their hands, I hope he is safe."

"The subordinates understand. But what if the second master is really not in their hands?"

"If it's not in their hands, it's probably a disaster. That's what those people in the rivers and lakes did. Damn it, they must be caught, and I will smash their corpses into ten thousand pieces."

"The subordinates will also send more people to investigate, and will definitely find the second master."
