Chapter 137: Why
Don't let the Huang family interfere in the purchase of grain, this is also Fang Xu's decision after careful consideration, the border pass wants to buy three years of grain storage, in case it alarms Emperor Yan, it will inevitably arouse Emperor Yan's vigilance.
Emperor Yan was already suspicious, knowing that he would definitely be restless about this matter, he would definitely investigate it strictly, it didn't matter if he found someone else's head, it had nothing to do with Fang Xu's money bag, but the Huang family couldn't.
Fang Xu also counted on Huang Lang to earn him silver.
Huang Lang rolled his eyes and thought for a while, and quickly figured out that he could earn a lot of money by sending grain to the border pass, but it was also risky, because the grain was always monitored.
If someone hoards a large amount of food without permission, he will lose his head if he is found to be suspicious of rebellion.
Buying grain at the border pass, how to characterize this matter is all in Emperor Yan's thoughts, he feels that the purchase of grain at the border pass is harmless to the overall situation, so it can naturally be dropped.
If Emperor Yan wants to use this reason to open the knife, then the knife in Emperor Yan's hand can fall at any time, anyway, we can't control it if people are unreasonable, and there is no way to do it with small fists.
Thinking about Fang Xu's kindness, Huang Lang was even more grateful, he would work hard to make money, let his cousin-in-law spend it at will, we are not short of money.
Then Huang Lang reported the progress of the work, and went to visit the general, so he left in a hurry to make money.
Sending Huang Lang away, Fang Xu told General Huai about the purchase of grain again, and the Huang family's line stopped and couldn't go.
The general has no opinion, if he doesn't go, he won't go, anyway, there are other lines to go, as long as there is silver, don't worry about not being able to buy food, there are many people who want money and don't want to die these years.
"By the way, is there any business in the Dingguo Mansion over there in the East China Sea?" Fang Xu suddenly thought of business opportunities beyond the East China Sea.
"No, there are some things that other ministers can touch, but the Dingguo Mansion can't touch, and if you touch it, you will cross the line." Seeing that Fang Xu didn't understand very well, the general had to continue to explain.
The Dingguo Mansion has 100,000 military horses in the northwest, if it is mixed in the East China Sea, people have money, it will get out of control, and Emperor Yan will definitely not let this happen.
Not only did the Dingguo Mansion not have a foot in the East China Sea, but those military generals with heavy troops did not participate in it, and only a small number of military generals participated in the East China Sea.
Most of those generals are seniors with high merit, but now they are just eating and dying, etc., and they have no real power in their hands, and they can't do other big things except to earn some silver.
Emperor Yan's control over hundreds of officials has always been very strong, if someone loses control, it is not far from death, and the general never doubts the ruthlessness of Emperor Yan.
A person who can kill even his own brother for the sake of superiority and position, what else can't be done.
"Emperor Yan knows all the officials who do business in the East China Sea?" Fang Xu blinked, he also had this conjecture, but he didn't confirm it.
"Those officials think they are doing very secretively, but there is no real secret in this world." The general scoffed.
Fang Xu also laughed, this is true, there is no impermeable wall in the world, so he needs to be more careful in doing things.
"There should be something that the emperor has not mastered." Fang Xu turned his finger and said this, and the general nodded again, no matter how strong the desire to control is, there are places to ignore it.
The sun is very powerful, there are still dark corners that can't be illuminated, and He Chongyan's ability is not as strong as the sun.
"This is the medicinal diet I prepared for you, and your diet will be handed over to me during this time, and I will ensure that your body will be well nourished." Fang Xu changed the topic, not wanting to continue the previous topic.
The general thanked him, not doubting it at all, either she didn't believe in a person, and after she really believed it, she dared to trust it wholeheartedly.
The atmosphere in the Pine Forest Courtyard was very good, and the rumors outside were getting stronger and stronger, and the general was about to be pulled down from the altar of the guardian god, and the voice of cursing the general appeared.
In the evening, Wu Anbo returned to the mansion, his face was not very good-looking, and after eating a little casually, he sent someone to call Fang Xu out of the Songlin Courtyard.
The father and son went into the study, Wu Anbo took out a stack of information and showed it to Fang Xu, and said, "You are not too young, some news is still good for you to know, you are walking outside in other people's ways." ”
"That's what my father said." Fang Xu took the information with both hands, opened it and looked through it, the information on it was varied, it seemed to be unrelated, but it was a net if it was carefully connected.
"Wasn't the rumor of the general released by the emperor?" Fang Xu was quite surprised, he guessed that the biggest black hand was the emperor, but he didn't expect someone else.
"No, it was the news that the eldest prince sent to spread the news, and Xiling also sent people to spread some news." Wu Anbo looked at his eldest son carefully, but he didn't expect his eldest son to guess so much.
There are few people who dare to think about this matter to Emperor Yan.
"It seems that the eldest prince is weak-hearted, he is seizing and seizing every opportunity to start." Fang Xu commented while looking through the information.
"Yes, the eldest prince is indeed weak-hearted, and I am afraid that the matter of the general's medicine cannot be resolved, and the eldest prince does not believe that this kind of thing can be resolved."
Wu Anbo stroked his beard, a sneer appeared on his face, if he can't resolve it, he won't resolve it.
Fang Xu silently looked at Wu Anbo's expression, he found that his father at this moment was very real, unlike his father who had always maintained a serious expression outside.
Otherwise, it's a fake smile, and the smile is quite penetrating.
"The person sent to Xishan to investigate the case should be back soon." Fang Xu put the information on the table and cared about the affairs of the five princes.
"Most of the people sent to investigate the case are dead, only the iron catcher and a small catcher are missing, whether the two are dead or alive is currently uncertain, and the flying hunt can't find their traces."
Wu Anbo got up and flipped through the bookshelf, and quickly took out a small box, took out the information inside and handed it to Fang Xu to read.
This is what is recorded on the whereabouts of the investigator in Xishan, and what work he does every day is recorded, until the pursuit that night, and then there is no more.
"That's the emperor's person, who will make the move?" Fang Xu asked.
Wu Anbo smiled and asked Fang Xu to express his opinion, he wanted to test Fang Xu's eyesight and brainpower, his grasp of people's hearts, and mixing in officialdom, all of which could not be missing.
If Fang Xu didn't have these abilities, he would raise Fang Xu for the rest of his life, and do everything he could to prevent Fang Xu from entering the officialdom, rather than being killed by someone, it would be better to get drunk and lie among the flowers.
"It shouldn't be that the fifth prince and Concubine Lin made a move, these two people didn't have a chance to make a move, and they didn't dare to commit a crime against the wind, after all, the case had nothing to do with them back then.
If it's not these two people, then it can only be the remaining princes, and the eldest prince is possible, but I think the biggest possibility is the second prince, who is the most insidious. ”
Fang Xu expressed his opinions, also with a bit of personal color, and he didn't have a good impression of several princes.
"Why can't it be the fourth prince or the third prince?" Wu Anbo asked suddenly, the sneer on his face disappeared, and a gentle smile was piled up.
Why? Fang Xu's eyes widened, what did he hear?
