Chapter 33: Ruthless in the Heart
Fang Xu took the guards to the Drunken Immortal Building, and went straight to the private room on the second floor, at this time there were not many guests in the Drunken Immortal Building, but Xiao Er was very enthusiastic.
"Bring your signature dish to you." Fang Xu waved his hands and sat down, then one foot was raised on the table, and he shouted, "Call the storyteller downstairs." ”
"Okay, sir, wait a minute." Xiao Er responded with a mouthful of words, and retreated with a smile, and he didn't feel weak or sorry because of yesterday's incident, and his mentality was good.
Soon the old storyteller downstairs nodded and entered the private room, a wrinkled smile as if the ground was cracked.
After seeing Fang Xu, he knelt down directly, not daring to stand and answer.
"Old man, there are some interesting things in Yanjing City recently, tell me honestly."
Fang Xu glanced at him and didn't let the old man get up, at this time, his style was a qualified one.
The old storyteller kowtowed, and responded with a mouthful, letting him do whatever he wanted, not asking this master to reward him with much silver, but begging to be able to go out.
The old man here talked about the news of Yanjing City, and the second child over there also began to serve food, Fang Xu had wine in one hand and food in one hand, and he could listen to lace news while eating and drinking.
People live for a lifetime, and their lives are so carefree, Fang Xu is a human being in two lives, and only in this life he dares to think and do it, and he almost didn't get tired of becoming a dog in his previous life.
The old storyteller is also a well-informed person, and people like them mingle in restaurants and teahouses, and they all have their own news channels.
In addition to storytelling, the news of the sale of various provinces and courtyards is also a good job.
The old man first talked about those men and women hooking up, this kind of news is particularly popular, and it is easy to arouse the interest of guests and get rich rewards.
The old man in front of him didn't dare to ask for a reward, but begged to let him go after hearing the news, the old man who told the story was very powerful, and his mouth was foaming, from the backyard to the front yard, from the open contention to the secret fight.
There were really a few pieces of news that aroused Fang Xu's interest, but Fang Xu's face did not show it, and he still looked heartless.
The first news is that a steward in the Five Princes' Mansion fell to his death, and the second news is that three barbecue restaurants have popped up in Yanjing City at once, and business is particularly hot.
Fang Xu was slightly surprised when he heard this news, he didn't expect that the general was still worried about the money for business, and the county lord of Nanyue had already opened three shops.
The economic gap between the two families is really not ordinarily large, and the Dingguo Mansion is not ordinarily poor, and I don't know if all the money from the last war was filled in the military sound.
No wonder the general kicked the Hubu Shangshu off the sedan chair in anger, who was not angry, and the silver he had worked so hard to get back was gone before he could cover it.
If you don't have it, forget it, you still owe a debt of a fart and a stock, and if you don't kill the head of the household, it's all to give him face.
The third piece of news is that there was a tragedy in Jiangnan, the deceased was a businessman in Jiangnan, and his business was very big, and he could squeeze into the top ten on the Jiangnan rich list.
This news only caught Fang Xu's attention, and that was because Mr. Storyteller also glanced at Fang Xu when he talked about it, and this glance alone attracted Fang Xu's attention.
You must know that Mr. Storyteller has been bowing his head and talking before, and when he looked at himself when he said this, he must have a deep meaning, did he think it was a move by Wu Anbo
After all, as soon as Wu Anbo made a move on the Lin family, he raided the family and destroyed the door.
Of course, this thought only flashed for a moment, and Fang Xu killed this thought, it was impossible for Wu Anbo Mansion to make a move against a businessman who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River.
I'm full for no reason!
The fourth piece of news, Fang Xu is really interested, and he talks about Cheng Dong's news.
Cheng Dong returned to the mansion yesterday and was directly blacked out by Duchess Lu Guo, breaking his shoulder blades, and his body was also bruised and purple, and he was almost killed in the dungeon.
After the news spread yesterday, the Lu Guogong Mansion wanted to suppress it, but who knew that before they could act, the whole city would know about it.
Fang Xu was slightly shocked at that time, he thought that Cheng Dong would not feel good after returning home, but he didn't expect the prince of Lu Guogong to fight back so fiercely that he almost killed Cheng Dong.
Tsk, no wonder Cheng Dong hides his strength, if he doesn't hide it, it is estimated that the grave grass is one person taller.
Mrs. Lu Guogong and the prince of Lu Guogong are both ruthless masters, and they can do anything for the sake of power, and I don't know how Lu Guogong endured it.
Can such a ruthless lady sleep peacefully next to her? I am not afraid of three more steel knives in the middle of the night.
However, this Cheng Dong is not a fuel-efficient lamp, Fang Xu is sure that the news was spread by Cheng Dong's order, and it must be for self-protection.
Cheng Dong must be worried that Duchess Lu Guo will do it again, so he took the lead to spread the news, so that everyone knew that Duchess Lu Guo couldn't even tolerate a concubine.
In this way, if Duchess Lu Guo wants to have a little face, she will not continue to do black hands, at least for now, as for the future, who can say for sure.
Maybe Cheng Dong will be the black hand in the future.
When Fang Xu finished eating, the old man who told the story also said that his mouth was dry, his throat and eyes were smoking, Fang Xu didn't speak, the old man didn't dare to stop, and he didn't dare to beg for saliva to drink.
The gentleman in front of him has no humanity, his hands are black and ruthless, and he treats human life like a mustard.
When Fang Xu scolded others for being ruthless, he was also scolded, not only that, but some people were discussing what the purpose of his existence was.
This person is Concubine Xiao and the Seventh Princess in the palace.
The seventh princess knew in her heart that the person who loved her the most in this world was her mother, so her plan must be known to Xiao Guifei, and Xiao Guifei could secretly help her at a critical moment.
When she heard that the Seventh Princess had staked the treasure on Fang Xu, Xiao Guifei was really stunned.
"Fang Xu is just a gentleman, you actually bet on him, what do you think?"
Xiao Guifei asked in a lost voice, feeling that her years of hard work have been in vain, teaching a stupid daughter, what kind of eyes is this?
"Mother, no matter whether Fang Xu is a gentleman or not, there are Wu Anbo and the general standing beside him, if these two people are willing to come forward to protect me at a critical moment, I will have a great chance of surviving this catastrophe safely."
Although the Seventh Princess confessed Fang Xu's affairs, she didn't tell Fang Xu that she might have hidden his strength, and the explanation was not thorough.
Having survived in the palace for many years, the seventh princess understands a truth, that is, don't tell anyone, you must keep the hole cards in your hand, so that you can be invincible.
Xiao Guifei frowned and could kill mosquitoes, of course she knew that Wu Anbo and the general had a lot of energy, but the problem was that the general was now being suspected by the emperor.
Betting on the Great General is a risky act, and it is very likely that it will be implicated by the Great General.
"Mother, my father is afraid of the strength of the general, but he has no intention of killing the general, let alone the intention of destroying the Dingguo Mansion, and the Northwest Border Pass needs the Dingguo Mansion."
