Princess of the auxiliary country

"Bold, seek death!"

In the Zheng family's mansion, a group of people rushed out and glared at the man on the horse.

"Kill this bastard to death."

The leader, a young man in his early twenties, stared at the man on the horse with red eyes and gave orders to the people behind him.

"Yes."

More than a dozen people came forward and surrounded the man on horseback.

Looking at the man on the horse again, facing this murderous group of people, he showed no trace of fear, and there was a trace of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth.

Without him opening his mouth to speak, a commotion was immediately heard from behind the crowd, and then the spectators who had followed the man on horseback to watch the show were seen moving away to make way for the show.

The two men came quickly with a large group of soldiers wearing armor and holding weapons.

The two leaders were Huo Jinyan, the eldest son of Duke Ji, and the one next to him was Lu Tingfeng, the Marquis of Yongning.

At this time, both of their expressions were very gloomy. As soon as they stood still, Huo Jinyan's eyes swept across the Zheng family and the group of people, and finally stopped at the young man who had given the order before.

"Zheng Songyuan, I heard that your Zheng family wants to destroy Duke Ji's mansion?"

As soon as these words came out, Zheng Songyuan's eyes narrowed slightly. Although the Zheng family looked very arrogant, they dared to say anything, but at best they were just harsh words.

Of course, these are not entirely harsh words, at least for those who are not as good as their Zheng family, this is not harsh words.

But what kind of existence is Duke Ji's Mansion?

That was the first-class Duke of the current dynasty, and there was also the existence of the first-class Princess Ningyang. The strength of the Zheng family was not weak, but it was absolutely a fool's dream to talk about destroying Duke Ji's mansion.

As for why Zheng Wengong said such things, he was facing Huo Junyao. After all, everyone in the capital knew about Huo Junyao's origins.

Naturally, Zheng Wengong felt a kind of contempt. Secondly, it was because of the papermaking workshop that Huo Junyao ran, which gave Zheng Wengong a certain degree of confidence.

After all, businesses such as paper have always been fully controlled by their family, and it is not just his Zheng family who will be affected.

Although the aristocratic families may have some fights with each other, when it comes to some principled matters, they have always been unanimous in dealing with the outside world.

Therefore, perhaps the Zheng family would have some difficulty in dealing with the Duke's Palace in the last century, but if the families behind them work together, not to mention the Zheng family, even the current Emperor Zhaowu would give in.

It can be said that when Zheng Wengong came to see Huo Junyao today, he did not rush forward without thinking, but after some careful consideration.

Even though he showed strength and rudeness as soon as he entered the door, Zheng Wengong still had his own plans.

First of all, although Huo Junyao is now the princess of Zhaode, she is actually just a village girl who grew up in the countryside and does not have much experience at all.

The strong performance was just to intimidate Huo Junyao, and at the same time, he also used it to express his own strength. This kind of strength was not aimed at Huo Junyao.

After all, Huo Junyao was not good enough in his eyes. His strength was to warn Duke Ji Guo and Princess Ningyang behind Huo Junyao.

To put it simply, I just want to tell Duke Ji's government that if they continue to build a papermaking workshop, they will not only face the Zheng family, but the entire noble family.

So to be so strong, from another perspective, can actually be called confident.

However, all these calculations were not bad. The only mistake was that he underestimated Huo Junyao. This was not a master who had never seen the world.   Next, Huo Junyao's unreasonable actions caught Zheng Wengong off guard.

However, compared to Zheng Wengong's unpreparedness, today's incident is indeed a very good opportunity for Huo Junyao.

An opportunity for her to blame everything on the Zheng family.

That's why she arranged for people to expose what Zheng Wengong and Zheng Jiana had done along the way.

It was like telling everyone openly that I was not targeting the nobles, but the Zheng family's repeated oppression. First, it cut off her own financial path, forcing her to find another way to make a living, and that's how the papermaking workshop came about.

In this way, on the one hand, she can severely slap the Zheng family in the face, and on the other hand, it is equivalent to revealing to the nobles that she only made paper to target the Zheng family and has nothing to do with other people. If other people want to intervene, what will happen next? It’s hard to say.

Huo Junyao had planned all this.

The papermaking workshop must be created. After all, the news has spread, and the Emperor is also involved. She will not be able to explain if it is not created.

Next, this paper business is a big business, and the Yu Dynasty's territory is not small. Although she will seize a lot of share by doing this in the capital, for the entire Yu Dynasty, this share is actually not that big. explain.

It is even said that it is not as large as the share held by the Zheng family.

And she dealt with Zheng Wengong's move and made her purpose clear, which was to give other nobles an opportunity to attack.

You must know that the Zheng family not only owns a large share of the paper business, but also has many other businesses. Since the Zheng family is responsible for this matter, it is appropriate to ask the Zheng family for an explanation.

It is reasonable to scrap oil from the Zheng family. It is true that some paper shares are lost, but they can get other shares from the Zheng family to make up for it. For other noble families, this is not a loss.

Even if these people are more ruthless, after directly dividing and annexing the Zheng family, they will get more things, which can even far exceed the income from all the paper business.

This is why Huo Junyao asked people to drag Zheng Wengong to go door to door to explain the cause and effect.

She just plainly told other nobles that she was going to target the Zheng family. Look at Zheng Wengong, the one with the highest official position in the Zheng family, being treated like this by her. This was already a no-holds-barred situation.

At this time, if you don't seize the opportunity to annex or cannibalize the Zheng family, let alone drink the soup, you may not even be able to smell it.

"Why don't you dare to speak? This is not like your Zheng family's style."

Huo Jinyan's cold voice sounded again.

Zheng Songyuan, who was driving across the street, was filled with anger and his eyes were full of coldness. But facing Huo Jinyan and Lu Tingfeng, what could he say?

The power of the Zheng family is indeed not small, but it is only in Shilin. If we really want to explain the coming of swords and guns, the Zheng family is completely inadequate.

Not to mention, Huo Jinyan and Lu Tingfeng were accompanied by hundreds of soldiers at this time. If there was a complete commotion, the Zheng family would definitely suffer a big loss today.

"Brother Huo is joking. My father and Duke Ji have been officials in the same dynasty for many years. How could he say such unreasonable words?"

"This must be a villain talking nonsense. Brother Huo must not listen to the villain's slander and ruin the harmony between the two families."

What he said meant something. As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at the man who had gotten off the horse.
