In Huan's room, Hua Xiaoniang had already turned on the lamp, and the soft light filled a corner, Zhang Huan sat on his wisteria circle chair, silently watching Jing Niang standing with his hands down.

Although he recognized her at a glance just now, when he looked more closely, she had indeed changed a lot, the trace of dust on her face had disappeared, and she had become charming and moving, her peculiar sea-blue eyes emitted a strange luster in the light, and the journey back and forth between Chang'an and Anxi made her gaze more resolute, and she could see that she was still a little uneasy in her heart, and there was also a trace of anger.

"Say it! Is there anything you can help me with. ”

For Jing Niang, Zhang Huan has always had a special feeling, she has a mature woman's charm, and there is a feeling that he has longed for since he was a child but can't get it, although they only have two interactions, but Zhang Huan has a deep memory.

"My Cuiyun Residence has been overrun." Jing Niang said helplessly and angrily.

Cuiyunju was developed by her with Zhang Huan's 100 yuan to buy the small liquor shop in the past, and because of its booming business, it was favored by a big businessman, who invested 6,000 yuan to renovate it, and gave her 30% of the shares.

But its booming business has also caused some powerful people to blush, not long ago, the big proprietor of Fengyun Building proposed to buy Cuiyunju for 8,000 yuan, of course, Jing Niang refused.

But today, Wannian County suddenly sent a large number of officials, on the grounds that Cuiyunju had imported wine from Anxi without the approval of the government, and arrested the big businessmen who invested in it. In desperation, she thought of Zhang Huan.

"What is the background of Fengyun Tower?" Zhang Huan pondered for a moment and suddenly asked.

Jing Niang didn't speak, this is the crux of the problem, this is the fundamental reason why everyone avoids, Fengyun Tower is the largest entertainment venue in Pingkangfang, there are green buildings, hotels, casinos, and it is said to be the assets of the general Cui Qinggong of Jin Wuwei.

"It is said to be the background of General Jin Wuwei." Jing Niang finally had no choice but to say it.

"Cui Qinggong?" Zhang Huan frowned, this is really difficult to do, and the contradiction between him and Cui Qinggong is very deep. If you beg him, I'm afraid that he will not only not stop, but will intensify it, and of course he will not beg Cui Yuan for this matter.

Zhang Huan walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, he really wanted to help Jing Niang, but now he had no time to be distracted and take care of other things, he walked to the window and pondered.

Jing Niang saw Zhang Huan's embarrassment, no wonder, the Cui family is so powerful, how many people can afford to provoke it? She sighed. He said in a low voice: "If the general is difficult, then I will leave." ”

"Wait!" Zhang Huan suddenly turned his head. His eyes were full of smiles, "If I also open a restaurant, I will give you fifty percent of the shares, and you will run it with full authority, are you willing to do it?" ”

"You own a restaurant?" Jing Niang looked at Zhang Huan in a daze, unable to say a word.

Pei Jun's study was filled with cigarette smoke, filled with a faint smell of sandalwood, and there were several household tables on his desk, and the one that was opened was only half of the review.

Pei Mingyuan stood at the door, and next to him stood a tall and thin young man. With a grim face, he is Pei Danming, who is in charge of intelligence in the Pei family, he has just received an important piece of information and rushed to report it to the head of the family. happened to meet Pei Mingyuan, who was also reporting to the head of the family.

At this moment, neither of them dared to disturb the contemplation of the head of the family, Pei Jun, the left prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, stood silently in front of the window with his hands in his hands. Zhang Huan rejected his suggestion, which was not only expected by him, but also made him a little disappointed, in the past, he took a fancy to Zhang Huan's talent, and his 3,000-day cavalry camp, so he thought of pulling him into his camp through Chu Xingshui and becoming his right-hand man.

And now when he suddenly discovered that Zhang Huan actually had another layer of identity hidden in his body, Pei Jundi's initial thoughts gradually changed, maybe he could do what Zhang Ruoho couldn't do.

As the head of the family, what Pei Jun pursues in his life is to maximize the interests of the family, including the largest territory controlled by the Pei family, and the greatest power obtained by the Pei family.

Zhang Huan is undoubtedly the best person who can help him achieve these two goals at the same time, but unfortunately he doesn't seem to be so easy to tame, and he even refuses the best sincerity he has shown.

A cold smile appeared at the corner of Pei Jun's mouth, of course, Zhang Huan must be wooed, this is related to his Pei family's plan, but the strategy of wooing must be changed, and he wants Zhang Huan to come over by himself.

Pei Jun turned around, but suddenly found Pei Danming standing at the door, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Report to the head of the family, the subordinates of the murder incident by the Qujiang Pond already have some eyebrows."

"Oh!" Pei Jun's spirits perked up, and he immediately sat down and said with a smile: "Say it!" What eyebrows were found? ”

Yesterday, Han County Ling of Wannian County suddenly came to tell him that someone had found five corpses in the woods by the Qujiang Pond, and he immediately ordered Pei Danming to investigate the matter.

Pei Danming saluted and said cautiously: "Two subordinates who were ambushed at the scene reported to me that more than a dozen people came to look for the corpse last night, and they recognized one of them as the head of the Cui Mansion Ding, and the corpse was sunk to the bottom of the lake by them, and they followed all the way and found that they all entered the Cui Mansion in the end. ”

Pei Jun frowned, the people of Cui Mansion were killed, what is going on? He raised his eyes, and saw that Pei Danming seemed to have something to say, so he said coldly: "Go on!" ”

"It's also a coincidence, early this morning, the people we planted in the Yongjiafang Spring Mansion came to report, saying that a dumb old man who had taken care of Zhang Huandi since he was a child disappeared last night, and the people in the house were looking for him everywhere, and this dumb old man had to go to Qujiangchi every day, and his subordinates were thinking that these two things were very likely to be related."

"What do you think it's all about?"

The subordinates were wondering if it would be the people of Cui Mansion who kidnapped this old man, but he was killed

They were robbed. ”

Pei Jun nodded, it seems that Cui Yuan is also suspicious of Zhang Huan's identity, and besides, in addition to himself and Cui Yuan, there is another wolf hidden.

He looked down and thought for a moment. said to Pei Danming: "Now you have to do one thing, you immediately send people to various restaurants and teahouses in Chang'an to spread the news, just say that Zhang Huan is actually the son of the former prince Li Yu." ”

"Yes!" Pei Danming saluted and hurried away.

―

"Father, how could Zhang Huan be the son of the former prince?" Surprised, asked in surprise.

"What do you think?" Pei Jun glanced at him and said with a faint smile: "Then my father asks you, since he is unwilling to be the son-in-law of our Pei family, how should we deal with him?" ”

Pei Mingyuan slowly calmed down, he pondered for a moment and said, "The child thought that Zhang Huan said that he couldn't marry the little sister now. Although it seems to be a more sleek statement, but the child feels that this seems to be a kind of temptation for him to us, maybe we are in a hurry, so that he is wary of us for a while, I think the little sister should be allowed to contact him more, I think, his position should change, and. Speaking of this, Pei Mingyuan stopped, he originally wanted to say that the little sister also seemed to like him. But I suddenly thought that my father said that he might be the son of the former prince, and it was true. If the little sister really marries Zhang Huan, then she will be at risk in the future.

At this moment, Pei Mingyuan suddenly didn't want Zhang Huan to be his brother-in-law, but in front of his father, he couldn't just say half of it, and after hesitating, Pei Mingyuan said again: "The child feels that since he is the son of Prince Yu, there may be a certain risk in pulling him to our side, especially the Li royal family, our Pei family may lose their support." Please think carefully about it. ”

Pei Jun smiled, he could see that his son's heart was also very conflicted, he wanted to win Zhang Huan over, but he was afraid that he would mistake his sister. He nodded and said with a smile: "Your idea is very good, Zhang Huan, you continue to associate with him, so that he can see our sincerity." Pei Jun walked up to Pei Mingyuan. patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "However, there is one thing you have to remember, strength is the first important thing in any situation, as long as you have strong strength, even if you say that you are the son of Prince Yu, those Li royal families will support you with confidence." ”

Pei Mingyuan nodded silently, he seemed to have understood his father's words, made a salute, and turned around.

Pei Jun looked at his son's back, and felt very relieved in his heart, ability and insight can be cultivated slowly, but virtue is inherited from birth, his son has not been valued since he was a child, but when he grows up, he is more and more unusual, although Zhang Huan is important, but he is at most just a tool that can be used, and his son is the master of the Pei family, and they will determine the future of the Pei family.

He suddenly had an idea, can he follow Zhang Ruoho and change Pei Mingyuan to be the heir to the head of the family?

.

This is a night that makes many people sleepless, Zhang Liang is the same, the night is already very deep, but she still can't sleep, the palace has become eerie and terrifying, she has been unable to sleep for two days, as soon as she closes her eyes, the bloody scene sixteen years ago appeared in front of her eyes, those dead eyes, for many years have been lingering in her dreams, she dreamed more than once, the man with a sword in the palace chasing her, shouting, 'Give me back my life!' ’

And now, this nightmare suddenly became a reality, and the man's son turned out to be right under her nose, with three thousand troops in his hands, which made her tremble, and the slightest sound outside the house immediately turned into countless footsteps breaking into the inner palace in her mind.

Suddenly, there was a scream outside the door, so frightened that Zhang Liang's heart almost stopped beating, she wanted to call someone, but the voice did not obey, she wanted to rush up, but her feet were weak.

"Queen Mother! There's a mouse. The door opened, and a palace maid on duty said tremblingly.

Zhang Liang stayed for a long time, and suddenly she jumped up like crazy, grabbed the palace maid's hair and slammed it against the wall. "The Queen Mother spares her life!" The palace maid was almost stunned.

"Spare your life?" Zhang Liang said viciously: "Who spares my life!" ”

She pushed the palace maid to the ground and shouted hysterically, "Come on, beat her to death for the mourning family, kill her!" ”

"The Queen Mother is angry! The Queen Mother is angry! The palace maids and eunuchs knelt all over the ground, kowtowing more than once.

Zhang Liang could no longer restrain the fear in his heart, Zhu asked her to wait for a few days The suggestion has been thrown out of the clouds by her, she can't wait for a moment, Zhang Huan must die, die immediately.

Zhang Liang took out a piece of letterhead, quickly wrote a letter, summoned a confidant eunuch, and ordered in a low voice: "You quickly hand over this letter to Cui Xiangguo, and go now." ”

The eunuch hurriedly left, Zhang Liang sat on the ground weakly, her face was pale, and she looked at the dark night sky blankly, the sky was overcast, and she was low and pressed down on the sky above the Taiji Palace, and a storm was coming.

.

Cui Mansion, the eunuch who sent the letter has retired, Cui Yuan looked at the letter in his hand in a daze, Zhang Liang's letter revealed the secret that had been silent for more than ten years, there were only a few words in the letter, when the crown prince Yu had an illegitimate child, and his whereabouts were unknown after the palace coup.

But it was enough, Cui Yuan immediately understood all the reasons, this illegitimate son must be Zhang Huan, this is the real reason why Li Mi was reborn, and this is also the real purpose of Zhang Ruohao who wants to make him the heir of the head of the family.

Of course, he also knew Zhang Liang's intentions very well, but he just wanted to get rid of Zhang Huan with his hand, but what surprised him was how Zhang Liang could know about this in this knotted eye, she never went out of the inner palace, could it be.

Cui Yuan suddenly connected the killing of his subordinates and the robbery of his men with the letter in front of him.
