Chapter 174: A Lonely Bet
You don't need to ask to know that there is no one else except Xu Hongji for such a person who doesn't know the times!
"What else is going on with Wei Guogong?"
However, what is surprising is that it was not Zhu Changluo who spoke, but Zhou Shixuan with a displeased face, and opposite him, Xu Hongji, who had an ugly face, refused to take a step back. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Zhou Shangshu is slow, the public has a way to prove that His Royal Highness brought the palace guards here today, not to visit the Marquis of Wu'an, but to be resentful and deliberately retaliate!"
The matter has come to this point, Xu Hongji no longer keeps his hand, turns his heart sideways, and speaks.
He is like Spiegel in his heart, today's matter must not end so simply, otherwise, I am afraid that in the circle of Xunqi, the Xu family will become a laughing stock completely!
Who doesn't know that Wu Anhou is a person from his Wei State Mansion, and this time to deal with Henglong, many Xun Qi families have been involved, why Zhu Changluo led troops to bully the Hou Mansion, they know very well in their hearts.
To put it mildly, if it weren't for the face of the Duke of Wei, who would listen to his dispatch from Zheng Weixiao, Marquis of Wu'an? Now that he was knocked on by others, the Duke of Wei couldn't protect his own people, so he was simply retreated by Zhu Changluo unharmed.
In the future, who will put the Duke of Wei in their eyes, and who will obey his orders among the relatives of Ying Tianfu?
To put it more seriously, Xu Hongji's foundation is already unstable now, if he can't even maintain the majesty of the Duke of Wei, God knows what rumors will come out, you know, there are many people in this world who covet his position as the Duke of Wei!
So he can't back down today, even if he loses both, he can't let Zhu Changluo retreat!
A hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and Xu Hongji spoke.
"Zhou Shangshu, the thing is actually like this, His Royal Highness had ordered someone to open a money bank in Yingtianfu earlier, but this money bank was rampant and overbearing, and repeatedly committed illegal acts, and finally was collectively boycotted by other money houses in Ying Tianfu, His Royal Highness was angry, and indiscriminately found Wu'anhou to vent his anger, the reason is that one of the boycotted money houses is Wu'anhou's industry!"
As soon as these few words came out, Xu Hongji knew that he couldn't hide the matter!
Because this trick is to hurt others and hurt oneself first, although it is said that Xun Qi's business is already a tacit unspoken rule in this year, but the unspoken rule is the unspoken rule, and it cannot be put on the surface, Xu Hongji put the ins and outs out like this, I am afraid that the first person to be impeached is Wu Anhou, and more importantly, in this way, I am afraid that the relationship between himself and Zhou Shixuan will break down......
But the matter has come to this point, and Xu Hongji can't care about so much.
As long as it can be proved that Zhu Changluo used private soldiers to take revenge, then his goal will be achieved, because in this way, the capital will inevitably be furious, and the guards that Zhu Changluo has just arrived may not be able to be saved, so that the face of the Wei Mansion will be saved.
Maybe he can please the one in the capital, you know, if it weren't for the hint of that person, he would have been dizzy before he would have targeted a prince!
"What does Wei Guogong mean? Could it be that His Royal Highness King Shou raised troops to besiege the hereditary marquis mansion for the sake of a mere money village? ”
Zhou Shixuan's eyes were burning, and his eyes were a little unkind when he looked at Xu Hongji, and his tone was not very good.
But Zhu Changluo was slightly surprised, what is the situation?
He originally thought that even if Zhou Shixuan was not from the Duke of Wei, but since Xu Hongji moved him over, then at least he should be the person close to the Duke of Wei, how did he become like this in an instant?
The anger that flashed in Zhou Shixuan's eyes just now didn't look like it was pretended!
"Zhou Shangshu heard it right, that's what the Duke of China meant!"
Xu Hongji's tone stagnated slightly, but he still said stubbornly.
It's just that he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and looked at Zhu Changluo's gaze with a little more resentment.
In fact, what Zhu Changluo didn't know was that the reason why Xu Hongji would bring Zhou Shixuan was really a last resort, because there were only a handful of people who could suppress Zhu Changluo in Yingtianfu!
Chen Liangbi definitely didn't have to think about it, and it was even more impossible for several other elders of the Sixth Department of Nanjing, and his original biggest reliance, the Xun Qi family of Ying Tianfu, would not come forward to help him in this situation.
Counting around, only Zhou Shixuan has the qualifications and prestige to suppress Zhu Changluo!
And although Zhou Shixuan is not from the Duke of Wei's mansion, he had received help from Xu Hongji's father, the old Duke of Wei, in his early years.
So to a certain extent, Zhu Changluo's initial guess was not wrong, Zhou Shixuan was the savior Xu Hongji moved in, but what he guessed wrong was that in addition to being known for his fortitude and honesty, Zhou Shixuan was most admired for being fair and never partial!
This is a habit he has developed in the old prison name for more than ten years!
It is precisely because of this that Xu Hongji did not dare to tell Zhou Shixuan the truth of the facts.
Because with Zhou Shixuan's keen sense of smell, it is easy to guess that the initiator of this turmoil is the Duke of Wei, after all, except for the Duke of Wei, there is no other force in Ying Tianfu that can command such a huge force of honors, and in the money village of Ying Tianfu, there are nine times out of ten that there are relatives background.
And as Xu Hongji expected, Zhou Shixuan thought clearly about the whole thing at the first time, and it was precisely because of this that he was so angry.
Without him, because in this way, it is not as simple as Zhu Changluo moving troops for no reason, in fact, there has always been a consensus among the civilian official group that it is not involved in the struggle between the honorable relatives!
That is to say, no matter how the two lords and relatives fight, as long as they do not involve ordinary people, the civilian clique will not bother to pay attention to it.
And this matter is obviously the fault of the Hou Mansion of Wu'an, and it provoked Zhu Changluo's money village for no reason, so even if Zhu Changluo moved troops to retaliate, it is understandable, especially Zhu Changluo grasped this degree very well, which not only lost the face of Wu'anhou, but also had no substantive action, and if Xu Hongji explained this in advance, Zhou Shixuan would not have come at all.
In other words, he was deceived by Xu Hongji from beginning to end, how could he not be angry?
The coldness in Zhou Shixuan's tone, Xu Hongji naturally heard it clearly, but the matter has come to this point, and he can't afford to retreat, not to mention that he still has a hole card in his hand, if he is asked to admit defeat, how can he be willing?
Taking a deep breath, Xu Hongji spoke.
"Zhou Shangshu, if it weren't for the entanglement of his own country, it was really His Royal Highness Shouwang who deceived people too much, and he privately mobilized the guards to surround the Wu'an Hou Mansion, but he bullied the people, wantonly arrested the good people, and banned the money bank, so it was not his own government that could sit idly by! Such arrogant behavior, presumably Zhou Shangshu will not ignore it, please Zhou Shangshu Mingjian! ”
Xu Hongji can be regarded as completely torn his face now, and there is a ruthless meaning in his voice.
Zhu Changluo's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a dangerous aura all over his body, it seems that this Xu Hongji was not ruthless enough to be slapped in the face...... (To be continued.) )
