In the Prime Minister's mansion, Bai Lao had already returned, originally to see what the prince's reaction was, but when he arrived at the place, he didn't see the prince's face at all, and the whole process was received by Liu Xing, the king of Zhongshan, as for Liu Biao, the whole process was summarized in one sentence, "I've been a little tired recently, and I'm resting in the palace, so Lord Bai still don't go in." ”

So, Bai Lao came back disgraced, and the prime minister saw that his teacher was not good, so he comforted him a little and let him drink some tea, which can be regarded as returning to a normal state.

After Hu Guang arranged the affairs of the old housekeeper, he returned to the hall and sat opposite Bai Lao, Hu Guang took a sip of warm tea and said in a low voice: "Lord Bai, although you haven't seen the prince, but you have seen the King of Zhongshan, how does he behave, aren't you very good at pondering people's hearts?" ”

Bai Lao straightened his posture a little and stroked his beard, "Actually, things are not what you think, the king has been here for three months, how is it usually, how is it now, what is the connection between this and the prince, even if the prince is at fault, as a younger brother, it is difficult to part ways with his brother." ”

"There is some truth in this, wait a little longer, Jin Sheng and Ma Chong should also come back at this time." Hu Guang said that, and looked outside.

It just so happened that Jin Sheng and Ma Chong were also walking towards this side, but they were already tired and out of breath, Hu Guang saw that the two of them were in such a hurry, and he also felt that things were not simple, so he waved his hand and asked, "You two are so old, can't you slow down?" ”

Ma Chong ran into the house first, covered his chest, gasped and said: "The big thing is not good-looking, maybe something big is going to happen, the prime minister should prepare earlier, things are not good!" ”

Hu Guangzhi frowned when he said this, "You fucking mean the point!" What's the use of all this! ”

At this time, Jin Sheng also walked up, "Yes, yes, let's talk about the point, our soldiers are gone, and it seems that they have all been lent to Feng Jun solemnly, how is this matter good!" ”

"What about the soldiers outside the city?" Bai Lao immediately stepped forward and asked.

Without waiting for Ma Chong and Jin Sheng to answer, Hu Guang said helplessly: "Soldiers outside the city can't enter the city, don't mention this kind of thing again!" ”

"But judging from this situation, the prince may really want to attack us, if there are no soldiers outside the city, our lives will not be long!" Bai Lao clapped his hands and said.

"How do the soldiers outside the city enter the city, we usually do nonsense, the king is blind to one eye, this is the system of the Han family, we do this first, if it is transmitted to Chang'an, the bones will not remain, in addition to the prince is also a secret operation, it is most convenient to use the guards in the palace, if the soldiers outside the city are mobilized, there is no benefit." Hu Guang said worriedly.

Bai Lao was beside him, his expression was very melancholy, "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what else can I do, there has been news from Yangping for the second time, the decline of the Wang family is the prince's doing, if you don't believe it, you can go to Yangping now to see, the bones of the Wang family are buried on the ground!" ”

"I don't know this, now that we have given the land to the prince, I don't think the prince will do anything to us." Hu Guang said with some luck.

And at this time, Jin Sheng and Ma Chong, the two of them were blinded the whole time, and they didn't know what Bai Lao and Hu Guang were talking about, "I said Master Ma, is this matter really serious?" Jin Sheng asked very carefully.

"I don't know about this, but judging from the current situation, I'm afraid it's not easy, if you and I don't get into it, think twice." Ma Chong stroked his beard and said.

Jin Sheng bowed slightly, "Let's see what they do, what Bai Lao and the prime minister can't solve, just wait for death, anyway, I've enjoyed enough blessings over the years." ”

Ma Chong didn't speak, he had some differences in his heart from Jin Sheng's thoughts, but judging from the current state, it was better to wait and see what happened, so he said, "I wonder if the two adults have the idea of compromise?" ”

Hu Guang glanced at Ma Chong, "The idea of compromise? Could it be that you want to admit your mistake to the prince? ”

"Why not?" Ma Chong said very seriously.

Bai Lao next to him immediately sneered, "I said Master Ma, are you really stupid, is there any reason to compromise now?" Feng Jun transferred all the soldiers away, is there any compromise to speak of? ”

Hu Guang agrees with Bai Lao's idea, but there is no foolproof plan yet, "Ladies and gentlemen, it's better for us to run away now, there is no room anyway!" ”

Just as the three of them were discussing, Jin Sheng next to him spoke a little impatiently.

Bai Lao glanced at him, motioned for him to wait for the result, and did not interject, "Now there is no other way, and the only thing that can be traded with the crown prince is our property." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Hu Guang asked with some confusion.

Bai Lao spread his hands directly, "Do you still need to ask?" It is to buy life with money, we donate everything to the people, this is called taking from the people and giving it to the peasants, and in this way, presumably the prince should raise his noble hand. ”

Hu Guang listened and frowned slightly, "This one is too ruthless, all of us are donated, how can we live, it is better to die." ”

Ma Chong took a sip of warm tea on the side, "The prime minister is too worried, there is no need to donate this matter, it's not bad to keep a little bit, ten percent of the property, just leave one or two percent." ”

Hu Guang listened to Ma Chong's words, and began to estimate in his heart, "Originally, there was ten percent of the property and land, but now that the Shanshui Pavilion has been given to the prince, in this way, his land and property are equivalent to a loss of fifty percent, and now the meaning of vain labor is to let me take out about forty percent of the property from fifty percent, so what will the labor and management take to live, it will simply lose the courage to live!" ”

"This method definitely doesn't work, even if you die and your home is raided, you can't follow his method."

At the same time that Hu Guang's brain was running rapidly, Jin Sheng, Ma Chong, and Bai Lao had already made up their minds to pay attention to it, and donated eighty percent of their property to the people, which could be regarded as accumulating virtue and doing good.

Anyway, there is no military power now, if you don't listen to the prince's orders, I'm afraid you really won't be able to save your life, "I said Prime Minister, the three of us have already discussed it, take the money to save your life." ”

"I know this method is not very good, but at present, it seems that there is no better way in the world, tomorrow when I go to court, I will bring all my net worth, not to mention Lao Tzu's land, that is, Lao Tzu's woman, as long as the prince likes it, you can also send it over, what I mean by these words is, I hope the prime minister will see a little bit, money is something outside the body, and after the prince leaves, we can earn it back, why bother so much." Bai Lao patiently comforted.

Hu Guang immediately waved his hand, "What the hell is this family cares about, it's clearly cutting my flesh and drinking my blood, after I die, the money is gone, the power is gone, what will my descendants take to honor me, which of my sons is not waste, what do they use to support themselves." ”

Ma Chong also stepped forward to comfort: "That's not the case, try to imagine that your family wealth is tens of thousands, even if you hand over ninety percent, future generations can still eat for a few more decades, why not, if you really fall out with the prince, we won't talk about the consequences, I think you know better than us." ”

Hu Guang stood up from his seat with some vicissitudes, "Hey, what you said also makes sense, let me leave it at that." After that, he walked towards the inner house a little speechlessly.

"I didn't expect my Hu Guang to have today, I didn't plan to use the people in the backyard to open the knife, it seems that only by killing a few maids who messed up my portal can I be relieved of my unhappiness." Hu Guang thought in his heart, so he went to Steward Hu to ask for the list.

In addition, this Steward Hu is probably among them, this time the soldier was not borrowed, and all the things that Steward Hu said had to be reversed, he had an affair with the maid, so he killed the maid.

He said that he had a son who wanted to be recognized as a godfather and demoted to a godgrandson, and he wanted a few more houses, but he was afraid that he would not be able to, and if nothing else, his house would have to be returned.

As for Bai Lao, Jin Sheng, and Ma Chong, they also went back to their respective homes, packed up and donated them all to the people, and at noon, Feng Jun and the three of them could be regarded as solving the matter that Liu Biao had confessed, in fact, except for the Shanshui Corridor and Shanshui Pavilion, there were few people in their families, and they were all secretly put into prison, and the four elders were too lazy to care about these idle things, and directly turned away the people who came to ask for help.

On the streets outside the Zhongshan Palace, there was an endless stream of people coming and going, which made Feng Jun quite surprised, and hurriedly called Tao Ren and Shi Jia to his side.

"Two, what's going on, let's take a look!" Feng Jun said loudly.

Shi Jia was originally a eunuch, and he hadn't seen anything in the world, but Tao Ren was a little surprised, "Look at the direction that these people are running to, aren't they all the mansions of the four elders?" ”

"There is no reason to say this, usually in this kind of place, the common people are afraid to avoid it, why are they rushing into it today, it is difficult that they have something to think."

While Tao Ren was talking to himself, Feng Jun had already stopped a civilian, "Dare to ask this old man, why are you so anxious?" It's the mansion of the four elders. ”

The old man nodded quickly, "That's right, we went to the mansion of the four elders, do you read the notice at the city gate?" The four old people are already old, but they are ashamed of the people, and today they will give all their property to the people of Zhongshan. ”

Tao Ren said with some disdain: "Do you believe this thing? ”

"How do you talk like this kid, if this thing isn't true, I can run over at such an age, someone in front of me has already carried things home, and I won't fight with you hairy children haha, you won't be able to grab anything when it's late."

"You don't know, my heirlooms were all robbed by them, I might be able to get them back soon, you have to go over quickly, maybe you can find some treasures." The old man said that, and disappeared into the street in a puff of smoke.

Feng Jun also sensed that something was wrong, so he had to go to the Four Old Mansions to observe the situation first.
