Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Master Hu glanced at Yaya who was still having fun in the distance, then looked at the two people in front of him and said unhappily.

"If you had told the truth from the beginning, there would have been nothing to worry about. I can help you figure it out and give you some pointers. It doesn't matter."

"But how did you two do it?"

"Hidden words within words, trap within trap?"

"Oh, you think you are very clever, and you think these nine true and one false words can deceive us?"

"But have you ever thought about why I am the prime minister in the court for so many years?"

"Why is it that after I resigned from my official position, my niece, whom I treat as my own daughter, became the Crown Princess and the eldest princess became my daughter-in-law?"

"That's because we are clear-headed and can see through some things!"

"I don't even dare to say that I'm a smart person, and you two brats are still playing this trick in front of me?"

Having said that, Mr. Hu waved his hand unhappily.

"Okay, get out!"

"While I'm in such a bad mood today that I want to kill you, get out of here!"

"Go back and write a memorial to strongly support all of Your Majesty's policies, then go home and live your life in seclusion."

"Do this well, and you will live!"

"Otherwise, haha, even if you don't write this admonition, you will find that the memorial signed with your own name and handwriting is sent directly to His Majesty to appeal for the injustice of the major clans in Jiangnan."

"When that happens, you won't be able to survive!"

"Okay, that's enough of the chat. I won't keep you company any longer!"

After Master Hu said this, he really did what he said. He stood up and walked towards Yaya.

When the two brothers Xie Jin and Fang Xiaoru looked at each other, they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

The two of them didn't dare to say anything at this moment. They just kowtowed three times towards the back of Master Hu in the distance, and then left the Hu Mansion side by side in an orderly manner.

They went out and led their donkey, and the two walked in silence out of Hujiazhuang.

When they walked out of the village gate, they both looked back at the same time.

Looking at the tall gate behind them and the three big characters "Hujiazhuang" written in black on a white background on the archway, the two of them couldn't help but sigh.

"Brother Fang, today is all thanks to you!"

"I'm so grateful for your help today, Brother Fang!"

Xie Jin bowed to Fang Xiaoru politely.

This is to thank Fang Xiaoru for saving his life in Zhuangzi just now.

After all, if it weren’t for Fang Xiaoru’s explanation just now, Master Hu would probably have become more and more angry and killed them both with a wave of his hand.

With Mr. Hu's status, he could destroy the two of them without even having to say a word.

With just a wink or the butler passing on a message, someone will probably rush to do the job.

Therefore, what Xie Jin said about saving his life was no joke.

However, Fang Xiaoru also had a bitter smile on his face at this moment.

After he helped Xie Jin up, he sighed deeply.

"Sir, stop talking."

"You may have been a little impulsive and joking, but wasn't I also playing tricks on Mr. Hu?"

"After all, we came here today to play tricks."

"In fact, today, in the final analysis, it is still Mr. Hu who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside."

"Didn't he keep saying he didn't agree or was not happy about it, but in the end he finally gave in and gave us his suggestions?"

"By the way, will you do the memorial that Master Hu mentioned just now?"

When Xie Jin heard this, he nodded vigorously.

"manage!"

"We have to do it!" "Brother Fang, maybe you didn't hear clearly what Mr. Hu just said."

"But I remember it, and I remember it very clearly."

"Mr. Hu is right. If we refuse to write the remonstrance, then the memorial with our names on it will be submitted soon."

"I had never thought of this kind of thing before."

"But since Master Hu has brought it up, I think this is Master Hu's greatest kindness and reminder."

"Maybe in his eyes, those people behind us really have the courage and ability to do all this!"

"So, let's go back and write the memorial!"

"I have submitted my letter of surrender. From now on, it will depend on how His Majesty arranges things!"

"Oh, what the hell is going on!"

Seeing that even Xie Jin, who was usually the most optimistic, was frowning and cursing, Fang Xiaoru could not help but smile bitterly.

But there was one thing that, given Fang Xiaoru's personality, he was still somewhat confused.

"Sir, let me ask you, do you think those people behind us can really trick us to that extent?"

"If they submit a memorial in our handwriting, it will be a serious crime if it is discovered."

"Why would they take such a risk to harm us?"

"Aren't they afraid of death?"

Xie Jin looked at Fang Xiaoru pitifully.

"Brother Fang, is there anything you don't understand?"

"To put it bluntly, it's nothing more than weighing the pros and cons!"

"If the risk of framing us is not great, but the benefits are high enough, then what's wrong with doing it?"

"As for the two of us, we are just small-time scoundrels with a bit of fame. We can just sell it off if we want!"

"If something happens, I'm afraid my father and your master will not only be unable to speak up for us and seek justice, but will also be implicated by us."

"When that time comes, there will be no hope at all."

Xie Jin is indeed a smart man.

After getting out of the situation just now, he keenly discovered clues from the words of Master Hu.

That is, the Jiangnan gentry have been facing His Majesty's new policies in recent times, and the interests involved are too great.

So much so that they didn't care at all to pay a little price to find the two brothers who had a little fame.

Xie Jin was sure that if they really listened to their advice, other officials would definitely stand up to support them.

The two of them are just the vanguards who fight in the front and charge into battle. The real "army" is behind them.

As to whether they wrote the advice "voluntarily" or the memorial "voluntarily", it doesn't matter.

Anyway, their identities are just cannon fodder to make up the numbers.

If they can survive by making a little noise, then they are lucky.

If His Majesty really gets angry and confiscates our property and exterminates our clan, that doesn't matter.

For those aristocratic families, as long as it doesn't involve them, they can die however they want.

Fang Xiaoru felt cold all over after hearing Xie Jin's words.

He is not stupid!
Although he is a little old-fashioned and stubborn, he is not the kind of person who cannot understand what others have said.

He looked up at the sky.

The sun was shining brightly, illuminating the earth, but he felt cold all over.

At this moment, he finally understood why his mentor Song Lian was unwilling to enter the officialdom.

It's really dirty in here! (End of this chapter)
