Chapter 68: Helping Each Other in Secret

Soon after, in a restaurant in the south of Xiangyang City.

"It was Yang Renxiao who instructed Niu Feng to do this?" In a luxurious private room on the third floor, Sun Feng, the eldest son of Sun Yong, the commander of the Xiangyang Guard, looked at the scar-faced man standing in front of him with a surprised expression.

In addition to Sun Feng, there is also a young man in white in the private room, who is the little white face who fights with Li Hongyu during the New Year, and his willow eyebrows are slightly frowned.

"According to Niu Feng, Yang Renxiao was jealous because Li Hongyu snatched his love, so he took revenge when Li Hongyu was in Fucheng." The scar-faced man bowed down and replied respectfully.

Although Sun Feng does not have an official position now, because the army of the Daming Guard implements a hereditary system, the following military attaches under the command of the guard are inherited by the descendants of the descendants, so Sun Feng is the future commander of the Xiangyang Guard.

Xiangyang Mansion originally only had Xiangyang Guard, and later set up a new guard, named Xiangyang Guard, although the level of the two guards is the same, but the background of Xiangyang Guard separated from Xiangyang Wei naturally cannot be compared with Xiangyang Guard, so the Xiangyang Mansion Boundary Guard Army is actually Xiangyang Guard.

"This kid also deserves it, and he even designed to rob someone's daughter-in-law." Sun Feng smiled a little disdainfully when he heard this, and then said to the little white face.

"He is not snatching love with a knife, but he is forced to do so, Miss Qin is rumored to be a broken flower and a willow by the outside world, which big family has the original intention to accept her?"

Xiaobaiyan shook her head, and did not agree with Sun Feng's opinion, compared with Sun Feng, she knew Li Hongyu better, for no other reason, who let Li Hongyu take advantage of her during the New Year, she naturally wanted to find out Li Hongyu's details.

"And this kind of thing?" Sun Feng was slightly stunned, and then laughed, "In this way, he is unlucky enough, first he ordered an unbearable family affair, and now he is secretly calculated by Yang Renxiao." ”

"If you were Li Hongyu, what would you think of last night's case?" Xiao Bai's face groaned for a moment, and looked at Sun Feng quietly, "Will he suspect who instructed those people to frame him?" ”

"You mean, the kid thinks I did it?" Sun Feng's laughter suddenly stopped, and the smile on his face froze.

"Not only Li Hongyu, I'm afraid Zhao Yulong and they will think so." The little white face nodded solemnly.

Among the several factions formed by the sons and daughters of the powerful in Xiangyang City, the camp of Sun Feng and Zhao Yulong was the strongest, and the two sides naturally fought from time to time.

Now that Li Hongyu has been plotted, then the sons and buddies of Zhao Yulong's camp naturally suspect that Sun Feng is the main messenger behind the scenes.

The reason is very simple, Li Hongyu has no grievances with the people of Xiangyang City, and he will definitely not be calculated for no reason, and the only time he celebrates in Xiangyang City is to fight wine in Chunfeng Pavilion.

Although in the end, Sun Feng's family and Zhao Yulong's family shook hands and made peace because of the draw, in the eyes of outsiders, this was originally a gamble that Sun Feng must win, but in the end it ended in a draw, Sun Feng's face will definitely not be able to hang up, so he may frame Li Hongyu.

In other words, Sun Feng has the motive to calculate Li Hongyu, and this alone is enough to make him fall into all kinds of criticism.

"I don't carry this black cauldron, you know that I have always acted above board, and I never do that kind of hurtful thing behind my back." Sun Feng immediately realized the seriousness of the situation, stood up suddenly, and commanded the scar-faced man in a loud voice with an expressionless face, "You go and tell Zhao Yulong that his cousin's matter has nothing to do with me, who is the mastermind behind the scenes, let him ask Niu Feng." ”

"Aren't you doing this without three hundred taels of silver here? Besides, I thought you were afraid of them. Seeing Sun Feng's angry look, a strange light flashed in the eyes of the little white face, and then he smiled and stopped him.

"And what do you think I should do?" Sun Feng thought about it for a while, and felt that Xiao Baimian was reasonable, and hurriedly looked at her and asked, he can't compare to Xiaobai's aura when it comes to brains.

"You just need to secretly tell Li Hongyu the address of Niu Feng's outer room, and I believe they will find out the truth." Xiao Baiyan had already thought about how to act, and said with a slight smile, so that he could not only find out the real mastermind behind the scenes, but also not show weakness to Zhao Yulong's side.

As for Yang Renxiao, although he belongs to the same big camp as Sun Feng, he belongs to two different small camps, and the friendship between the two has not yet reached the point of sharing weal and woe.

In the final analysis, Sun Feng is from a military attache family, while Yang Renxiao is from a scholarly family, and the two sides do not have much intersection at all.

Of course, this does not mean that Sun Feng stabbed Yang Renxiao in the back, after all, this matter involved Sun Feng, it was Yang Renxiao who was not careful, and Sun Feng was just protecting his reputation.

Moreover, even if Yang Renxiao was found out by Zhao Yulong's side, then everyone had nothing to say about Yang Renxiao's revenge, who let Li Hongyu mess up the family affair between Yang Renxiao and Qin Yue, and also "robbed" Qin Yue, Yang Renxiao's revenge is also human nature.

In this way, the grievances between Li Hongyu and Yang Renxiao will be settled, if Yang Renxiao uses these three indiscriminate means to trouble Li Hongyu again, then he will be despised by the prince in the city.

"Okay, just do as you say." After listening to Xiao Baimian's suggestion, Sun Feng nodded again and again, when he and Xiao Baimian were together, Xiao Baimian took the idea, and he was responsible for running errands, so naturally he would not refuse.

Xiao Baimian couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief when she heard this, in fact, she had another purpose in doing this, that is, to tell Li Hongyu that this matter had nothing to do with her, and what she looked down on the most was the kind of person who hurt people with secret arrows, so she didn't want to be misunderstood by Li Hongyu.

Obviously, compared with Sun Feng, Xiao Bai Face, who was going to kill Li Hongyu that day, was more suspicious in the matter of Li Hongyu being framed, but no one knew what happened to Li Hongyu and Xiao Bai Face that night, so no one except Li Hongyu would suspect Xiao Bai Face, after all, Li Hongyu and Xiao Bai Face were very happy at that time, and they should not calculate Li Hongyu.

"Two young masters, the little one heard the news, the head of the Jiangkou County trial who was sentenced last night was carried into the examination room today, and the handicap in the casino increased his odds, and now his odds have risen to one to twenty."

At this moment, a man who looked like a subordinate walked into the room quickly, and reported in a deep voice after bowing his hand to Sun Feng and Xiao Baimian.

"This kid still went to take the government exam?" Sun Feng was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the little white face with some astonishment, he heard that Li Hongyu had been hit by thirty boards, and he seemed to be seriously injured.

"If you have to take the exam on your stomach, it can be regarded as breaking the wilderness of our Daming Imperial Examination." Xiao Baimian was also quite surprised by this, and after being stunned for a moment, he looked at Sun Feng with a smile, and said with interest, "Since the casino gives such high odds, then we might as well take a gamble and see how lucky Li Hongyu is?" ”

"His injuries are so serious, it's not so easy to get the top of the case!" Sun Feng hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and then opened his mouth to remind Xiaobai that he was not optimistic about Li Hongyu.

Not to mention that Li Hongyu's hip injury will affect Li Hongyu's answer, judging from the ranking of the candidates with the highest call for winning the championship, Yang Renxiao, the head of the Xiangyang County trial, and Lu Kun, the head of the Guanghua County trial, will have to beat Li Hongyu.

Coupled with candidates like Zhao Xin and Li Hongyi, who have a lot of strength, it is not easy for Li Hongyu to break through from the government examination this time.

"Maybe if he doesn't come to Tai, maybe he will hit the big luck." Xiao Baiyan knew that Sun Feng was not optimistic about Li Hongyu, so he smiled and ordered the subordinates on the side, "Go, go to several casinos in the city for a thousand taels each, and bet that the head of the county test in Jiangkou County can be the head of this government test!" ”

"Young Master Ben is the same, each casino bets on Li Hongyu for a thousand taels."

Sun Feng saw that Xiao Baimian looked very interested, so he decided to play with Xiaobaimian, so he also opened his mouth and ordered the entourage on the side, anyway, he had already placed 10,000 taels on Yang Renxiao and Lu Kun in this gambling game, so he didn't care about spending another three or four thousand taels.

If Li Hongyu really hit the head of the Universiade examination and won the government exam as Xiao Baiyan said, then he will win a lot of money this time.

With the bets of Xiaobaimian and Sun Feng, the casino immediately adjusted Li Hongyu's odds, so that Li Hongyu's odds were reduced to one to ten, in order to avoid possible potential risks, after all, no one can say what the outcome of the exam will be.

Although the questions in the main field of the government examination are more difficult than those in the county examination, they can still be answered very easily for Li Hongyu, who originally had a foundation in classical literature and integrated the memory of the young man's hard study, and the combination of the two made him a tiger in the imperial examination.

It's just that Li Hongyu's physique was weak, and he didn't rest much at night after he was severely punished yesterday, so by the time he finished answering the question, he was exhausted and almost collapsed.

"It's time to exercise!" When Li Hongyu lay on the stretcher with his limbs weakly and left the school with the first batch of candidates who handed in the papers, he secretly made up his mind again.

According to Li Hongyu's original plan, he prepared to submit the second batch of exam papers, after all, this was the government exam, and he wanted to be more stable, but his body could not support him to do so, so he had to follow the first batch of candidates to come out early.

Zhao Xin came out with Li Hongyu, talking and laughing with the weak Li Hongyu while walking, and among all the candidates, she was the only one who was the most fameful.

"Young Master, Zhao Gongzi!" Rou'er was waiting outside the school, and when she saw Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin coming out, she hurriedly greeted her with concern.

There was a horse-drawn cart parked on the side of the road, and Li Hongyu was carefully placed on the ox-cart and will take the ox-cart home, the reason why the ox-cart was chosen instead of the horse-drawn cart is because the ox travels slower than the horse, so that the road will not be too bumpy.

After returning home, the first thing Li Hongyu had to do was to change the dressing for the wound on his buttocks, and the other was to scrub his body.

The matter of changing the dressing for Li Hongyu naturally fell on Rou'er, a personal maid, and when she saw the injury on Li Hongyu's buttocks, Rou'er couldn't help but shed tears in distress, she could imagine that Li Hongyu suffered great pain.

"Sister Rou'er, it's just some skin injuries, just rest for a while." Seeing this, Li Hongyu smiled disappreciatively and opened his mouth to comfort.

"Young Master, who is so vicious and wants to put you to death?" Hearing this, Rou'er wiped the tears from her cheeks, bit her lip and asked, she hated the mastermind behind the scenes.

"It's not clear yet, but it's going to come to light." Li Hongyu shook his head, and then looked at Rou'er with a smile, "When Lord Ti Xueguan confers a meritorious name, then he will not be easily beaten in the future." ”

"Young master, a little boy sent a letter just now, saying that it was given to him by a stranger, and asked him to give the letter to the young master." At this moment, a maid walked in, holding a letter in her hand and said to Li Hongyu.

"Read!" Li Hongyu frowned slightly when he heard this, not long after he came back, the other party sent the letter through Xiaotong, and it seemed that he had been waiting nearby, not knowing what kind of calculation he had.

"Niu Feng knows the mastermind behind the scenes, the white house in Peach Blossom Lane in the west of the city!" The maid was illiterate, so she handed the letter to Rou'er and left, and Rou'er opened the envelope and was slightly stunned, and then read out the contents of the letter.

"Niu Feng has a concubine?" Li Hongyu's eyes lit up, although he didn't know who sent this letter, but this news was very important to him if it was true.

"Young master, could this be a trap?" Rou'er looked at Li Hongyu with some concern, and questioned the sender's motives.

"Let Tie Niu send someone to Peach Blossom Lane to check on and find out who lives in that white mansion." Li Hongyu pondered for a while, and quickly made up his mind, he didn't want to let go of such an opportunity to deal with Niu Feng.

"Hmm!" Rou'er bowed slightly when she heard this, and then went out to find Wang Tieniu, she naturally knew the value of the information on the letter, so she would ask Wang Tieniu to send someone to find out the authenticity of the information as soon as Li Hongyu explained.

"Strange thing, who sent this news and what is the purpose?" After Rou'er left, Li Hongyu's brows furrowed slightly, and he really couldn't figure out the identity and purpose of the other party.

Rou'er came back soon, changed the gold sore medicine on Li Hongyu's wound, and then carefully scrubbed Li Hongyu's body, although she was Li Hongyu's person, but in the face of the naked Li Hongyu, she was still red-faced.

Li Hongyu also felt very embarrassed by this, but then again, he could accept Rou'er doing this more than letting a man scrub his body, anyway, Rou'er would be his concubine sooner or later, and sooner or later she would be naked.

"Brother Li, are you feeling better?" After scrubbing her body, not long after Rou'er changed Li Hongyu's clothes, a group of sons came to visit Li Hongyu with gifts, and the leading sons asked with a smile.

The leading son-in-law Li Hongyu saw when he was drinking with Xiao Baiyan in Chunfeng Pavilion, named Wang Yuan, and Yang Renxiao can be described as mortal enemies, and has a good relationship with Zhao Yulong, and is the son of the Wang family in Xiangyang City.

Although the Wang family is not like the Yang family, it is also one of the best families in Xiangyang Mansion.
