Xianyang.

There is an undercurrent in the city.

Under Zhao Gao's deliberate instigation, a storm against Ji Heng is slowly taking shape.

Hu Fu.

Hu Wujing's house has long been deserted.

Since Hu Wujing retired from the court, the originally bustling courtyard has become deserted.

The difference is astonishingly large.

Hu Wujing was sitting in the lobby, taking a sip of tea, feeling the bitterness in it, and finally swallowed it reluctantly. At this time, he looked at his eldest son Hu Xian, and said in a deep voice: "Just now I heard There are footsteps outside the house, did Zhao Gao send another message?"

Hu Xian nodded, and said slowly: "Father guessed right."

"Zhao Gao sent another message."

"This person is really bold and reckless. Hu Hai clearly has no chance, and he has long been neglected, but he still dares to secretly pick up his staff and intends to change the existing court situation. It is truly audacious."

Hu Wujing snorted coldly, squinted his eyes, and said coldly: "Zhao Gao? It's just a domestic dog of His Majesty, but this domestic dog has its own thoughts, but this has nothing to do with us. Since he Deliberately changing some things may not be beneficial to us, so there is no need to criticize it.”

"Now is not the time."

"I remember you said a few days ago that Zhao Gao has been moving around secretly recently."

"You know, who did he secretly contact?"

Hu Xian cupped his hands and said: "My boy did inquire about some things, like the Shaofu, Dianke and other officials who had a feud with His Highness, Zhao Gao went around in private, but I don't know if he talked about it specifically. But it is true that I visited the door personally, but judging from Zhao Gao's frequent actions recently, it should be something."

"It's just that the specific gains, the child really can't find out."

Hu Xian sighed lightly.

Their Hu family has long been different from the past.

No more glory.

Even if there is still some help, it is no longer comparable to the past, and many things can only be done in this way.

Hu Wujing nodded slightly.

He didn't say much about it.

How could he not know about the situation at home?

Although the heart is also full of resentment, but how can it be blamed?

He stroked his beard and said in a deep voice: "This Zhao Gao is very scheming. He knows that these people have had a feud with His Highness, so he deliberately went to try to win over these people. , Young Master's power in the court may increase a lot, and if something happens to His Highness, it may not be able to change the status quo of the court."

"We should pay more attention to it."

Hu Wujing pondered for a moment, then suddenly changed the subject, and said: "When Zhao Gao came to the door before, he mentioned a Mr. Zhong. Did you investigate this person when you went down? Did you find out any news?"

Hu Xian said: "Hail did investigate in private."

"It's just that the boy's official position is low now, and there is really no way to investigate in depth. At best, he can only verify what Zhao Gao said. This person now lives in Xicheng, three or five streets away from Changyangfang, but this street seems to be unrecognizable. There are not many people living there, there are very few people coming and going, and there seem to be guards outside."

"The specific situation has not been found out."

"But Mr. Zhong is indeed among them."

immediately.

Hu Xian asked curiously: "Father just now said that we should take it seriously. Is he planning to take action against this person? To expose his identity as a remnant of the Six Kingdoms? So that the courtiers have an excuse to attack His Highness?"

Hu Wujing sneered and shook his head directly.

He said coldly: "You, your mind is too simple."

"This person is so trusted by His Highness, and he even sent guards. If he doesn't handle it well, it will only cause trouble."

"Isn't this trying to push me, Mrs. Hu, into the pit of fire?"

"And now we don't know whether these attendants were ordered by His Highness privately, or they were arranged after they were informed to His Majesty and obtained His Majesty's permission. If His Majesty knew, we would be overwhelmed if we targeted them rashly. Walk."

"Furthermore."

"Zhao Gao has contacted so many officials, why only let us do it?"

"Didn't you notice something was wrong?"

Hu Xian was taken aback.

He didn't think about it that much.

Hearing Hu Wujing's words, he woke up instantly.

Hu Wujing lightly tapped the surface of the case with his fingers, and said with a gloomy expression: "This matter is actually very risky and dangerous. Others are unwilling to do it, and they are unwilling to do it, so it will fall on us."

"Because your father and I stayed away from the imperial court, we actually bowed our heads to them."

"That's why they tell us to do it."

heard.

Hu Xian looked sullen.

He was also quite aggrieved.

Zhao Gao and the others are really philistines. How long has it been since his father resigned from the court?Has he been so underestimated?

It really makes no sense.

Why is there no anger in Hu Wujing's heart?

It's just that he has been in the court for many years, and he has developed a very deep city, which has not been shown on the surface.

Hu Wujing calmly said: "This is nothing, at least it shows that in their eyes, I, Hu Wujing, still has value. The external force has started again, so although I am dissatisfied with the current situation, I can no longer do nothing.”

"Otherwise, I'm afraid they will be rejected for these people."

"By that time, my Hu clan will have no hope of rising again."

"At least it's time to show your attitude."

Hu Xian's heart trembled.

He remembered that his father had sneered at these before, and had no intention of making a move at all. This time, he suddenly changed his mind after hearing about the officials Zhao Gao secretly contacted. This is enough to prove that his father's judgment on the current situation has changed.

He asked, "What does father mean?"

Hu Wujing didn't speak in a hurry, but picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of the tea.

The lips and teeth are fragrant, and the tongue is full of fluid.

At this time.

Hu Wujing squinted his eyes, and said slowly: "If I remember correctly, when the Guanshanhai policy was implemented, Mr. Zhong came forward once, and the target was the salt and iron merchants in Guanzhong. You can secretly use Mr. Zhong's Disclose the news to these merchants, and let these people test the details and facts of this Mr. Zhong."

"Notice."

"Don't expose ourselves."

"Our Hu family is not suitable to be involved in these things."

"Only behind the back."

heard.

Hu Xian nodded vigorously.

He smiled and said, "Father is thoughtful."

"The merchants have a grudge against Mr. Zhong. It is most appropriate to use their hands to test it out. Even if someone finds out, they will not easily suspect us, after all."

"Both parties already have conflicts of interest."

"It is reasonable for the merchants to hold grudges and want to retaliate in private."

"I, Hu, have nothing to do with it."

Hu Wujing nodded.

That's exactly what he thought.

Zhao Gao intends to use his own hands to test Mr. Zhong's reality, so why can't he use others' help?

Hu Wujing said: "You contact in private, but don't reveal too much, just point out the person's residence and identity, as for other information, don't disclose at all, but you can reveal it secretly, if something happens to them, the court will Someone protects them."

Hearing Hu Wujing's words, Hu Xian's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "My child knows what to do."

"Go ahead and do it, baby."

Hu Wujing nodded.

In just a short time, Hu Xian disappeared in the lobby.

The lobby fell silent again.

Only Hu Wujing sipped the tea leisurely, but compared to the initial bitterness, the tea at this moment was obviously much sweeter, and Hu Wujing even showed a smile on his face from time to time.

Fung.

Five months have passed since the Huai County shipwreck.

The Feng family was completely silent after this incident.

In the past few months, he has been operating according to his duty, and there are few actions.

But this calmness was instantly broken with the appearance of a letter from the wall.

Fung Hall.

Feng Dong sat on the main seat.

His figure is even more rickety, like a candle in the wind, his spirit is very vain.

Feng Dong is older than half a year ago.

In the hall, only Feng Dong, Feng Zhen and his son were there.

Feng Dong looked away from the letter in his hand, then carefully placed the letter on the table, turned to look at Feng Zhen, and asked, "As the head of the family, what do you think of this letter? "

Feng Zhen's eyes moved slightly.

After thinking for a moment, he slowly said: "My boy, I can't guarantee the authenticity of this submission, but judging from the content of this submission, someone has indeed noticed this Mr. Zhong, and even intends to target him. , and it is very likely that it is related to court officials."

"Of course, business is business."

"This matter is actually a double-edged sword."

"Once it succeeds, it will benefit immensely, and it will even protect the court officials in the future. However, if it fails, it will also suffer from it, and it may even be completely devastated and unable to recover."

"only."

"It's too risky."

Feng Zhen shook his head.

He did feel a little moved.

Just considering that he was targeting Mr. Zhong, he couldn't help but retreat in his heart. He was really a little apprehensive towards this Mr. Zhong. In the previous two confrontations, they were clearly calculated, and now they took the initiative to provoke him. The truth is somewhat unwise.

Moreover, Mr. Zhong is valued by His Highness, how can they easily provoke him?
He still has self-awareness.

Seeing that Feng Zhen understood the general situation so well, Feng Dong's eyes were filled with relief.

After these years of experience, Feng Zhen is no longer impulsive, and finally able to take charge of himself.

This made Feng Dong's heart that had been hanging on him finally drop.

He said in a deep voice: "You're right. I, the Feng family, absolutely don't want to get involved in this matter. I, the Feng family, are just a salt merchant. I don't have that much ambition, and I don't have that much ability to participate in the affairs of the court."

"It's all about security."

"However, when this letter of submission appears, I, Mrs. Feng, are destined to be affected."

"My Feng family can keep my mind steady, but other merchants may not."

"At that time, I, Mrs. Feng, will become a different kind. If these people's plan does not succeed, I, Mrs. Feng, can escape unscathed. If there is really a problem with Mr. Zhong, I, Mrs. Feng, will probably become a different person if I want to operate peacefully in the future. It’s extremely difficult.”

"The pros and cons are profound."

Feng Zhen was silent.

How could he not know?

It's just that after more than half a year, he has long recognized the reality.

Merchants are no match for officials.

Moreover, in the eyes of officials, merchants are not popular at all. At best, they are regarded as pawns by them, at their mercy, and let them do what they want.

Now that the imperial court is involved, is this something they can meddle with?

They don't know what will happen to the court at that time, but they, merchants, will definitely die miserably.

This is beyond doubt.

As for the promises given, it is complete nonsense.

It is too arrogant and arrogant to try to let them bet the fate of the whole family with just a fluffy word.

Feng Zhendao: "Baby understands."

"It's just that children have their own considerations."

"Although this letter of submission states that it is only aimed at Mr. Zhong, and it is in the name of doing good for His Highness, but Mr. Zhong has a close relationship with His Highness. Most of this matter is not from His Highness, but from other people. It is worth investigating, is this someone seeing Mr. Zhong getting close to His Highness, feeling dissatisfied in his heart, and wanting to destroy the relationship between His Highness and Mr. Zhong? Or is there some other intention?!"

"This is targeting His Highness!"

"Your Highness, how can you allow others to plot? Once His Highness finds out about this, someone will surely bear the responsibility, and there is no specific name and taboo left in this letter of submission, so I am afraid that the merchants will bear the consequences in the end."

"From any point of view, this matter does more harm than good."

"Both Mr. Zhong and His Highness, I, Mr. Feng, cannot afford to offend them. Moreover, these people have never dealt with Mr. Zhong and have no idea of ​​Mr. Zhong's methods. Such a scheme will only bring harm to them."

Feng Dong smiled and nodded.

"You're right," he said.

"If it is aimed at other people, I may let you try, but these people are targeting Mr. Zhong, so you must not participate in it. This person is like a fox, and we can't calculate it at all. Moreover, this person has a serious attitude toward merchants." He has deep prejudices, and if he fails in the end, he may face cruel revenge from this person."

"Death and terror will happen."

"I, Feng, can't afford to gamble."

immediately.

Feng Dong smiled wryly, and said slowly: "People's hearts are complicated. With the establishment of the crown prince, many people can't sit still. Especially this Mr. Zhong is in the limelight, which may cause many people's jealousy and dissatisfaction, so I think To use this to stir up the rift between Mr. Zhong and His Highness, but how do these people know that this Mr. Zhong is so powerful?"

Feng Zhen smiled wryly.

If it is possible, who wants to see it?

Their Feng family had to be careful precisely because they had suffered so much.

But from this letter, it can also be seen that the court of Daqin is not peaceful, and there are always undercurrents surging. Perhaps the battle in the court will intensify in the future, and it will be difficult for them, merchants, to be alone.

Think of this.

There was a hint of worry in Feng Zhen's eyes.

He has long since faded from his original ambition, and only wants to keep the existing family business of the Feng family.

It's just that this idea has become a bit extravagant now.

Feng Dong looked calm, and said in a deep voice: "You don't have to worry too much. We don't care about what other merchants will choose. You just need to be firm and don't stand on the opposite side of Mr. Zhong, even"

"Sometimes the necessary sacrifices are made for that."

"Others can't beat it."

Feng Zhen nodded.

He also believed in this in his heart.

The more I get to know Mr. Zhong, the more I understand how terrifying this man is.

This is truly a no-brainer!
A wise man is like a demon!
