Chapter 489: You're So Boring
Shen Xi mentioned slightly: "And the main target of the split is naturally the several major families in the court at that time." For example, the Zhang family and the Xu family!"
"That's right. "But I didn't hit it right away."
"Before the Xu family and the Zhang family, I also failed many times, and I didn't dare to attack the two of you as soon as I came, it was too dangerous.
"And all this is premised on the fact that I have to have a huge amount of money, and with enough money I can use more people to work for me.
"Fortunately, I have a solid grandfather's family, I searched for more than half a year, found a very capable wealth expert, borrowed 30,000 taels of silver from my grandfather's family to start a business, across the country to open shops to do the business of selling grain from the south to the north.
"With the abundance of money in my hands, there are more people around me, and there are many dead men who are willing to die for me.
"All this is unknown to the people of the prince's mansion.
"After all, to them, I'm just an inconsequential person to deal with the Emperor's errands.
"It wasn't until Xu Jing's prestige in the northwest spread far and wide, and his fame gradually spread back to the DPRK and China, that the DPRK suddenly developed in a good direction, and I felt that it was tricky, and then I began to target the Zhang and Xu families.
"Naturally, I know about the matter between you and Wen Chan, and I know Xu Jing's deep affection for you.
"Wen Chan is a personβI'm much more interested in her than I am in you," he smiled, "because she has desires." And you don't, so you're unattainable.
"A girl who is not greedy is really boring, because you basically have a hard time finding her weaknesses to please her, so much so that you take advantage of her.
"Wen Chan's greed, jealousy, dissatisfaction, competitiveness, and desire for aristocratic status all attracted me.
"She's so good for me to use as a knife. A knife that can be extremely sharp with a little sharpening. β
His smile showed Sensen's teeth, and he rushed at Shen Xi like a blade that had been sharpened by him.
Shen Xi's hands were still resting casually on the armrests beside him, but his fingernails had already dug into the gaps.
A big and powerful hand suddenly covered the back of her hand, and then the warm touch that wrapped her immediately soothed her heart: "So, did Mr. Qi think about finding a weakness in Miss Zhang back then?"
Xiao Huai's voice was light, but there was a bit of coolness between the words.
"That's nature. Bi Shangyun raised his eyebrows, "After all, she is the pearl of Zhang Jie's palm."
"And I am deeply liked by the emperor and queen, I directly find weaknesses in her, isn't it more effective than finding others?
"But it's a pity that I didn't find any opportunities, the Zhang family protected her too well, and the second was that she acted as if she had her own set of principles.
"That's why I began to turn my attention to Wen Chan.
"Where did Wen Chan dare to kill Zhang Ying at the beginning?
"Every bit of jealousy she has for Zhang Ying is secretly added by me for her, Xu Jing's deep affection for Zhang Ying, the gap between her and Zhang Ying.
"When a person is greedy and you don't even have to do much, she will naturally think that.
"What's more, I'm in the same frame of mind as her from a certain perspective, so it's easy for me to control her. β
He smiled to himself, as if he were repeating his great deeds.
Shen Xi suddenly felt nauseous in his heart.
In the past, Bi Shangyun was trampled on, and then he had the psychology of overthrowing Daqin and destroying the entire Helian clan to trample on others, and from then on, he joined forces to plan to destroy the country.
His perverted ambition began when he was thirteen years old, and sure enough, Duan You was not succumbed to death, so Xu Jing's death would indeed not be accidental.
"Did you kill Xu Jing to kill your mouth or what?, and where did you go in all those years after Duan You's defeat?" she asked.
"There are many reasons to kill Xu Jing. First, after Duan You's death, he found some clues about me. The second is that he was secretly granted by Zhang Xie to a person who could return to Beijing at any time.
"The third is that he is the prince of Anguo, and killing him will cause great losses to the Anguo Mansion, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and the entire imperial court. β
He said peacefully: "It just so happened that there was an epidemic in Yunnan, and I secretly did something to let him contract the epidemic, and he died in the end." β
Shen Xi clenched his fists, and this time the armor was embedded in the flesh.
"Duan You's defeat really hit me hard. But at that time, I couldn't go back to the palace.
"I had no way out, so I met the generals of various places through other people, and continued to rebel, but they all failed without exception.
"Later, after careful consideration, I found Li Ingot who also had a grudge against the Helian nobles, and after I used several events in a row to persuade him, he resolutely unveiled the rod.
"You probably know the rest. β
Shen Xi raised his glass, and his gaze fell on the Xuemei diagram on the table.
It seems obvious why the two pictures she drew fell into his hands.
She is "fortunate" to become a benchmark that stimulates him to "work hard", and the three friends of the year are the only intersection between them, or indirect, of course, there is commemorative significance.
And this picture of Xuemei, painted half a month before her death, is supposed to commemorate her death!
After all, since she died at the hands of Wen Chan, his ambition has finally taken the first step.
"Don't you have a wife?" she asked suddenly, "what about your children?"
β¦β¦
The moonlight seemed to be even darker. The willows along the road are like the hair of giants, fluttering in the slightly rapid evening breeze.
It should rain tonight.
Helan Zhen looked up at the sky and stopped under a thick poplar tree in the east of Bifu.
Bifu is located near the imperial city, and under the east wall is an alley, and on the other side of the alley is someone else's house.
The alley was deep and dark, but a lantern suddenly lit up at the end, and gradually, staggeringly moved towards it.
Soon he heard two sets of footsteps, one very calm, but one sounding a little faster. The other is slightly lighter, like an entourage.
Helan immediately dodged and jumped onto the wall, but at this time, the lights and footsteps stopped.
"It's Xu Gongzi?"
The voice was gentle and full of a hint of intimacy, and he addressed Xu Gongzi.
Helan thought about the contents of the letter, glanced at the guards, and then jumped down again.
The lantern lit up in the surroundings, and the person holding the lantern was a middle-aged man who did not look amazing. And the person shining on the lantern is also a middle-aged scribe with ink hair.
This scribe was dressed in an elegant royal blue brocade robe, covered with a thin cloak of plain brocade, with a long posture and handsome features, and his eyes were warm and pleasant.
Helan Zhen frowned lightly: "Which Xu Gongzi are you looking for?"
The scribe smiled: "Naturally, he is the descendant of Duke Xu of the Anguo Mansion in the past, and now the sect master of the Iron Eagle Sect, Xu Kelai, ββ the leader of the Xu Gang and has been admired for a long time." β
There was a cold light in Helan Chen's eyes, and he smiled: "Your Excellency has found the wrong person." β
He retreated with his fists clenched.
"Childe can not believe me, but I have a word here that is related to the survival of the Yan Wangfu and Helian Remnants, but Childe can't help but listen!"
Helan stopped and turned around.
