Chapter 324 - Plans for Each Other
"If you didn't get in the way, you had already caught him? Shouldn't 20,000 people arresting one person be done in an instant?
"Do you know how much effort the other families have put into stopping the Ximu Army? Do you know how passive we are now?!"
"Huh?!"
Cha Chengye suddenly turned around and stared at his two children.
Che Xingfang and Che Xingsheng knelt on the ground in a panic and shouted in unison: "The child knows his mistake!"
The cries in the courtyard disappeared one after another, and although no one looked at this side, everyone's hearts were here.
Che Chengye didn't need to look at the situation in the yard to know what the situation was, and shook his hand fiercely: "Come with the old man!"
......
In Che Chengye's study, in addition to Che Chengye's three fathers and sons, there are two men, aged in their forties and sixties respectively.
When the two of them saw the Che brothers, there was some anger in their eyes, and the two of them knew that they were wrong, so they pretended not to see it, and made a compilation to the two: "I have seen the master of the Xian family and the steward of Ma." β
"The owner of the Che family and the general Che don't need to be polite. β
"The old slave didn't dare to be. β
The two of them spoke very politely, especially the younger one, who spoke with a round tone and an echo.
In addition, his square face exudes a sense of righteousness, and his particularly thick eyebrows and whiskers make him exude a convincing aura all the time.
This is in line with what he usually doesβto pay homage to the emperor and hold all the memorials for the royal family.
Don't look at this matter as if it was a god's chatter, but it was extremely important to the whole world.
It is so important that the Taiwei, the prime minister, and the imperial doctor have to salute him first when they see him, and they can directly say that the emperor has done something wrong at some important ceremony.
To be able to occupy such an important and powerful official position is naturally a member of the Xian family.
He is the current head of the Xian family, Xian Yongqing, that is, the biological father of Xian Maodian.
The identity of the old man is much simpler than the others in this room, Ma Zheng, the housekeeper of the Ma Mansion.
"The head of the Xian family, the steward of the horse, now that the wood is in the boat, what should we do next? After the emperor comes back, if Gu Tiefang is bent on impeaching us, I am afraid we will all be greatly injured!"
Che Xingsheng saw that the people in the room were silent, so he spoke: "We just need to let Gu Tiefang not impeach us?" He used to be a member of the Lizhi Party, and he shouldn't have much of a good impression of Yang Fengqing. β
What responded to him was the silence in the room and Che Chengye's angry eyes that hated iron and steel, and Che Xingsheng quickly shut up and stopped talking.
After a while, Xian Yongqing kowtowed his fingers: "The emperor has set off today, and he will return to the capital in three days at the latest." In the next two days, we will send people to block the port of Dasheng again, and do what we said before. β
The eyes of the three members of the Che family are bright, as long as there is something true, everything they do to perform their duties is just an accident in the performance of their duties.
In this way, the dead Che Xingze will not only not be charged, but will also be rewarded.
"What the head of the Xian family said is extremely true, so let's use this method. β
Ma Zheng, who had been bowing his head, showed a penetrating smile at Che Xingsheng, who was happy to speak: "Is this method of covering up really useful in today's situation? You must know that the emperor has already indicated her relationship with Yang Fengqing, that is, she at least has a tendency to renew her relationship with Yang Fengqing." And the affairs of the Yang family, you all know it, although it was the Lu family who cleared the Yang family, but what role did you play in it, you must know better than the old slave. If Yang Fengqing gains power, our end will be even more harmful than what this incident has brought us. β
The three fathers and sons of the Che family and Xian Yongqing, whose faces were finally relaxed, suddenly became even more gloomy than before.
Xian Yongqing thought about it for a while, under the premise that Ying Xuemei was bent on Yang Fengqing, no matter how they thought about it, their Xian family would be greatly impacted, and it was very likely that they would collapse from now on.
What the Che family thinks is not much different, the more they think about it, the more ugly their faces become, but no matter how they think about it, there is no way to break the game.
So one last look at Ma Zheng, Che Chengye asked in a deep voice, "What advice does the master of the Ma family have?"
Ma Zheng put his left hand into the sleeve of his right hand, and said at the same time: "Actually, what General Che said is not a good way, but we are not bowing to him, but he will never be speechless." β
The other four held their breath and looked at Ma Zheng quietly with their eyebrows twisted.
Compared with all the things they had done before, the assassination of the prime minister was just a trivial matter that could have hurt their muscles and bones before.
After doing it, no matter how it ends, they will become a close alliance, and it's good that things don't come to light, if they do, they only have one way to go.
Although the three of them are united in the current Guangwu chaos, there is not necessarily no way out of that road, but if it is not desperate, who wants to do the work of pinning their heads to the waistband of their trousers? Isn't it good to live and enjoy happiness?
Ma Zheng took out his left hand from the sleeve of his right hand, spread out his hand, and there was a black bottle only the size of his thumb in the palm of his hand: "This is the head of the house asked someone to send it back, called Soul Devouring Scatter, colorless and tasteless, and as long as it is like thisββ"
Ma is pinching the nail of his little finger with his thumb, leaving only a little bit of the tip.
"Mix it into the water and let Gu Tiefang drink it. No matter who came, no matter what method was used, it would definitely not be possible to detect that Gu Tiefang was poisoned and died. β
Che Chengye's face changed the most, and his body moved back: "Is it really that hidden?!"
"Otherwise, why is it called Soul Devouring Scatter? After eating Soul Devouring Scatter, that person will be like a soul being devoured, and there will be nothing abnormal about his body!"
Ma Zheng was behind and no one answered immediately.
The four of them looked at the soul devouring in Ma Zheng's palm, and the light in their eyes was bright for a while, gray for a while, constantly changing back and forth.
"I can work with you, but I have to be prepared for both. Before we do anything, we should send some news to all the generals who are close to us, and if the matter is revealed, we-"
Che Chengye's eyes finally stopped at the blazing heat, and his body slowly moved forward: "No matter what you do, our Che Jiajun can obey orders at any time!"
If things don't come to light, then all is well.
If the matter is revealed, the Xian family has the greatest influence, and the soldiers who can gather are also the most among the three families. But at that time, the capital was the main battlefield, and only the Che family, who had a Che family army in the capital, was the most vocal.
As for Ma Ruyi, Che Chengye didn't think much about it at all.
An insignificant imperial historian is just a military power, he wants military power without the military power of the Che family, and he wants influence without the influence of the Xian family.
According to what Xian Yongqing said, he and Che Chengye should be almost the same as what they think, but the people who benefit in the end are different from their families.
"Since the two heads of the family have agreed, let's talk about what to do. β
......
When Gu Tiefang returned to the mansion, his anger had almost dissipated, and the rest was surprise.
Sitting in the study, my heart can't settle down.
I got up and walked back and forth in the study, and my face was red from walking too fast, feverish, or red from thinking of too many possible good things.
Suddenly stopped, raised his head and stroked his palms and laughed: "Hahaha-San Lang, San Lang, not bad!
If Gu Xuzhang was here, he would definitely complain: "I don't know who sent me a letter before, saying that he wanted to break off the relationship." β
Gu Tiefang walked around a few more times and shouted outside: "Go and call Da Lang and Erlang to see me." β
"Yes, sir. β
After a while, two men who looked younger than Gu Xuzhang walked into the study.
"Fatherβ"
The two of them spoke very softly, and if they spoke elegantly, they were gentle, and if they said that, in Gu Xuzhang's words, they were sissies.
Not to mention Gu Xuzhang's kind of urgency, even Old Man Gu suddenly felt a little uncomfortable: "How many times have you said it, when it's only us, you can speak more smoothly, don't take a breath." It's no wonder that every time Saburo talks to you, he is about to collapse before he speaks halfway. β
Although the two of them are slow and follow the rules, their heads are not slow.
As for the above sentence, Old Man Gu used to say something completely different to them: "Alas, if San Lang had a temperament like you, I would be able to live for a long time." β
The two were silent, and they already had a lot of calculations in their hearts.
Gu Jialang and Erlang are named Gu Xuyu and Gu Xuhao respectively, and it doesn't matter what official position Gu Tiefang held before he was promoted to prime minister, at this time the two were the waiters of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Officials.
Needless to say, the department in charge of construction will always be the largest department in oil and water.
The performance of the officials is between the smiles and smiles of the officials of the ministry, who dares to play with the officials of the ministry? Not to mention the second-in-command of the ministry.
Today's Gu family has begun to restore its former glory.
"I'm calling you here to tell you something about what you think we should do. Saburoβ"
Old Man Gu told his two sons everything that had happened since Gu Xuzhang sent the message to the family in one fell swoop, without adding or subtracting.
Gu Xuyu and Gu Xuhao, who had followed the rules for most of their lives, had not finished listening to what Old Man Gu said, their mouths were already opening wider and wider, and when Old Man Gu finished speaking, the two looked at each other, their eyes were full of fear, but there was still a trace of excitement hidden in the deepest part.
Old Man Gu was very satisfied with the reaction of his two sons, and after talking for so long, his throat was a little dry, so he picked up the teacup and slowly drank several sips of tea to moisten his throat.
Gu Xuyu slowly swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva: "Father-this-I don't know." β
Old Man Gu was not angry and looked at Gu Xuhao. Gu Xuhao may have spent more time in the ministry, and he has seen more of all kinds of official affairs, and he has become more courageous: "Do we have a choice? We actually don't have a choice." When the emperor came back to the court, the three of us went to the court together, and we must make the Xian family and the Che family hurt their muscles and bones!"
"I forgot to tell you that there are also people in the Ma family who are involved. β
Gu Xuhao's eyes were more profound, and his voice was very different from when he came in before: "Isn't this better?"
"Hahaha-well, in that case, then-"
Gu Xuyu looked left and right at the second brother and his father, and the more he talked, the happier he became, the more and more frightened he became, and his tone was unusually fast: "Father, second brother, didn't you think that they would make a desperate bet? What will we do, they must have expected it, and if we are in their position, will we sit back and wait? If the three families work together, if it is not solved well, I am afraid it will make Guangwu even more chaotic!"
Gu Tiefang and Gu Xuhao's smug smiles slowly faded, and neither of them was reckless.
"Big brother, what do you think we should do?"
"Da Lang, you have been able to give a decisive suggestion since you were a child, this time it is related to the life and death of our Gu family, think about it, you must think about it!"
Gu Xuyu didn't want to make a suggestion, if he could, he wanted to escape, but he was the son of the Gu family, and he couldn't escape.
