Chapter 45: The True Face (Part II)
"The people say that there are many talents in places like Dongchang and Jinyiwei, why didn't you pick the great monk?"
Seeing Xu Xun say this next, and looking at himself with a smile, Monk Huitong took a breath lightly, and the hand hidden under his sleeve retracted. There is a saying that people are enlightened overnight after a great change, and he has seen this kind of thing a lot in his life, but if Xu Xun can guess his identity back then, it is really terrifying, and he almost treats people as monsters. Even if he noticed the word factory guard from the news he had just revealed, this kid was really extraordinary.
Looking at each other through the window is too romantic after all, and the words are all spoken, Xu Xun naturally will not continue to maintain this weird dialogue mode, and personally goes out to open the door and invite Huitong in. It's just that neither of the two of them sat down to drink tea and chat, so they stood in the east room and said a word to me and spoke straightforwardly.
"The big monk went out sneakily tonight, for Uncle Xu's business?"
"For him, and for you. Xu Ba's affairs shouldn't be entirely due to you. He seems to be an ordinary family, but his ancestors are glamorous, and now the head of the house in Beijing is sick and dead, and other hopeful people can't help but regard him as a thorn in their side. If he dies this time, others should breathe a sigh of relief. ”
Speaking of this, Huitong paused, and then said angrily: "Of course, since you are so confident, I also went to inquire about your affairs by the way." You and Xu Ba accidentally saved the only heir of Grandpa Fu, so Grandpa Fu met you on the Qingping Tower, right? It's just that I have to remind you that when this Fu Gonggong was in the capital in the past, people gave him the title of jade-faced demon fox, which often made people feel like a spring breeze, but when he calculated people behind his back, he was ruthless and powerful. ”
"But I have no long things and am in a precarious situation, can Grandpa Fu still plot anything from me?"
In the face of Xu Xun's not salty rhetorical question, Huitong couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and only after a long time did he stiffen his face and snort coldly: "Who knows what that kind of big guy is planning, in short, it may not be a good thing to be favored, you had better have a number!" Besides, the official of science and Taoism here in Nanjing has recently made a twist and turn, and implored the emperor to eliminate those redundant officials who have taken the risk of promotion, especially the heirs and families of these eunuchs, and Gonggong Fu is anxious to come, and he may not have time to take care of your little baby. ”
"However, Grandpa Fu also gave me a big red thorn for this little baby."
As soon as these words came out, Xu Xun really saw that Huitong's face suddenly showed a surprise that he couldn't hide, and he immediately guessed in his heart that this monk was certainly extraordinary, but he couldn't even find out about such things that only a few people knew. Having regained some of the upper hand, he did not take advantage of the situation to attack, but said with a smile: "Since the great monk has found out about these many things, I guess you have also asked the people behind the elders of my Xu family?" What is the foundation of the Jurong Zhao family, can you tell you a word or two? ”
Huitong originally wanted to put Zhao Qin's matter back for a while, so as to hit Xu Xun's momentum, but at this time, he was robbed of the front again, and his heart was not so much surprised as a nest fire. After looking Xu Xun up and down for a while, he moved a chair and sat down, then leaned back, ignoring the creaking sound of the back of the chair, and snorted softly.
"No wonder you asked me about Jurong in the morning, I dare to say that the note is someone who gave you a message. Good boy, I really underestimated you! I might as well tell you that the Jurong Zhao family is a big family for several generations, especially Zhao Qin, who is now in charge, although he only won the top three Tongjin Shi in the third year of Hongzhi, he actually chose the Hanlin Academy, and then he was worried about his mother one after another, and lost his wife. This time, there was also one of the people who wrote the invitation, and his signature was even in the second place, which was a well-known Qingliu in Nanjing. ”
Speaking of this, Huitong couldn't help but shake his head: "This Zhao Qin has some bad deeds in the countryside of Jurong. It's just that if it were changed to the Chenghua period, or a few years earlier, such a person would be able to pull it down as long as he grabbed the handle, but now there are four gentlemen from the southern capital in this Jinling City, and the clear streams are in the same breath, and even the two eunuchs who guard the town can't easily move. Xu Ba's matter is okay, there are a lot of interests involved, but I didn't expect that just a little bit of property from your Xu family is worth such a calculation. If you add your little servant, Xu Qishao, if I didn't pour cold water on you, you just have great ability, and you can't twist it! ”
"I'm an orphan with no father, no mother and no dependence, if it's just me, of course I can't twist it."
Xu Xunsuo moved a chair and sat opposite Huitong, just looked at the monk face to face, and said word by word, "It's just that now that you have the great monk, plus I met Gonggong Fu by chance and got this famous thorn, and I am familiar with Wang Shikun, the brother-in-law of the Duke of Wei's mansion, it may not be that there is no way." Of course, you can manage to save Uncle Xu from flying away to the end of the world, but if we add it up, we may not only be able to break this game, but also turn over in one fell swoop! ”
"Turn over?" Huitong couldn't help but squint his eyes and laughed, "Xu Qishao, who do you think I am?" ”
Seeing that Xu Xun only looked at himself silently, Huitong didn't know where the angry surname came from, so he blurted out, "Xu Qishao, I'm not afraid to tell you honestly, I'm not the eyeliner of Jinyi Weidong Factory." At that time, Lao Tzu had been proud of Wei Ying and Wu Shou of the West Factory in the capital, but then the West Factory was gone, and Lao Tzu became rootless. How many years have this been, and Lao Tzu has long thought about turning over! ”
Xu Xun didn't expect to take something out of the mouth of the monk Huitong, so the other party's sudden words can be said to be earth-shattering. However, after the initial moment of consternation, he laughed: "Great monk, if you don't want to turn over, how can you leave the West Factory for so many years, but you are still so well-informed?" If you don't want to turn over, why are you obviously shaved to become a monk, and you are still messing around in the Taiping near the many yamen in the Qianbu Corridor in the west? If you don't want to turn over, why bother to inquire so clearly about the stubble between me and Grandpa Fu? What don't you want, you obviously want it more than anyone else! ”
After saying this, he looked at the monk opposite with his hands as if he didn't care, and it was absolutely false to say in his heart that he was not nervous. Even in his previous life, he had information and friends and opportunities, but in this life he is simply poor and white - whether it is Fu Rong or Wang Shikun, after all, he can only try his best to reach the characters who may not necessarily be able to reach at the moment, and Huitong, a guy who is now in the field and can be regarded as a front-ranking figure in the past, if he can pull over to help, then the odds of winning this time will increase by three percent!
After waiting for a long time, seeing that Huitong's expression was slightly touched, he said while the iron was hot: "You know that my Shibo was fabricated out of nothing, that's right, I wrote that word with my left hand, but since you have been in the West Factory, you can't even see the mystery of the words." How could someone my age write? I only hate that I missed out on the great opportunity back then, but even if it only lasted long, I still learned something. ”
"If you want to break the deadlock, you can only turn the deadlock into chaos and involve more people! Seek chaos in death, seek survival in chaos! That's what that gentleman taught me. ”
Huitong, who had been silent, suddenly raised his head, staring at Xu Xun as if he was looking at a stranger, and finally smiled after a moment. If it weren't for the news he got tonight, he might not have been moved by this young young man's empty words, but since he had that news, how could he be willing to be a monk in Jinling City for the rest of his life?
"Okay, you Xu Qishao, okay, if you have any ideas, just say it, and the monk will help you with a total total! After more than ten years, if you continue like this, people will become moldy, and the few sons under your hands can't hold it anymore! ”
