Jiangdu, the rain has been continuous for several days, and in the early morning, there is a heavy fog in the sky, and the sight is only more than ten zhang, and the entire city is shrouded in fog, just standing at the window and looking at the fog, Li Huairen has a smile on his face.

As soon as Guan Zhongyun walked into the study, he saw Li Huairen's smile and said with a smile: "Seeing that the Metropolitan Governor is happy, it should be good news?" ”

At this moment, Li Huairen couldn't help laughing, and opened his mouth to say: "It's been more than a month since I entered the Jiangdu, and the governor of Bendu finally got good news and was about to tell Brother Guan." Speaking of this, after a pause, Li Huairen scattered and said with a smile on his face and a deep voice: "The governor of Bendu has just been summoned by the Seventh Prince, the five major clans in Jiangnan, Sun, Qian, and Wang have been persuaded by the prince, and the official can let go of the rectification of the Huainan officials, and the wind and rain building is a thief in the sky, and the prince has ordered Jiangnan Wei to exterminate the wind and rain building, at this moment, I am afraid that the wind and rain building has been destroyed." ”

After listening to Li Huairen, Guan Zhongyun was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and smiled at Li Huairen: "It's really good news, without the control of several major families, the governor of the capital can drastically rectify the rule of Huainan Province, and Guan Mou thinks that the Wang family can not only get three, there should also be the Wu family." ”

With a soft sound, Li Huairen showed an interesting look on his face, and opened his mouth to ask, "But I heard it in detail." ”

Guan Zhongyun immediately replied: "Of the five major families in Jiangnan, the Wu family is the most low-key, but the influence in Jiangnan is not much better than any other, Guan has heard that the first emperor set up the capital of Jiangnan Province in Pingjiang Mansion, and it also has a great relationship with the Wu family, since the seventh prince went to Pingjiang Mansion, he naturally wants to persuade the Wu family." Hmph, the prince sent Jiangnan to rectify the rule of officials by the holy decree, this is the general trend, not to mention that the three families of Sun, Qian, and Wang have been convinced, how can the Wu family do the act of using the mantis arm as a car? As for not mentioning it in the letter, Guan thought it was related to the Wind and Rain Building. ”

After a pause in saying this, Guan Zhongyun showed a calm smile on his face, and said: "Fengyulou is one of the four major schools of Jiangnan martial arts, and it is also the overlord of Jiangnan Green Forest Road. Destroy the wind and rain building, the seventh prince will go to the Wu family again, and there is no room for bargaining when he wants to come to the Wu family. At this moment, Guan Zhongyun said with appreciation: "The Seventh Prince is very talented, especially judging the situation, and he is worthy of the pride of the sky." ”

Nodding emphatically, Li Huairen showed a trace of admiration on his face, and said: "The Seventh Prince is not very old, but he has a degree of handling things and extraordinary wisdom, which is beyond our reach. Speaking of this, after a pause, Li Huairen turned around and looked at Guan Zhongyun and said: "The Seventh Prince's summons this time, not only does the governor of Bendu let go of the rectification of the Huainan officials, this time the Qi'an mutiny, the Luzhou White Horse Gang, the Qizhou Xiongshitang, and the He family in Guangzhou, are all involved, and the governor of Bendu wants to send troops to conscript, and Fengyulou also has many industries in my Huainan Road, so it will be confiscated immediately." ”

This time, Guan Zhongyun did not speak immediately, and after a moment of silence, he opened his mouth and asked: "The Metropolitan Governor has been in Jiangdu for more than a month, and it can be regarded as smoothing out the Huainan officialdom, but Huainan Wei ......" In the elongated voice, Guan Zhongyun looked at Li Huairen and said: "Thanks to the trust of the Metropolitan Governor, Guan Mou will be outspoken." Huainan Wei's deputy commander Wei Jiangtao is a thief who first plotted to kill the commander Zhang Baiyang, and then led to the defeat of Qi'an, and the three thousand elites were almost killed and wounded. Moreover, the Holy Lord has not sent a commander so far, who can send troops to suppress the thieves for the commander? The White Horse Gang and Xiongshitang are all local tyrants, and their strength should not be underestimated, and besides, did the prince mention the Zheng family? ”

Hearing about the Zheng family, Li Huairen's face immediately turned cold, and Guan Zhongyun said cautiously: "Governor Dadu, now there are rumors flying outside, saying that the Qi'an Revolution is related to the Zheng family, although I don't know whether it is true or not, but the former Governor Yang Dadu dared to suppress the mutiny, and it does have a great relationship with the Zheng family." ”

The Zheng family is a big family in the south of the Yangtze River, especially in the troubled times after forming an alliance with the Xie family in Jinling, Zheng Yongsheng, the head of the Zheng family, became the governor of Huainan Province and took charge of the military and political power of Huainan Province.

Thinking of the Zheng family's past, a light flashed in Li Huairen's eyes. When he first entered Huainan, he went to visit the Zheng family, who seemed to welcome guests with a smile, but Li Huairen could feel the hypocrisy and indifference behind the smile. After a moment of silence, Li Huairen opened his mouth and said, "How can Brother Guan believe these rumors? Those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid. ”

Guan Zhongyun didn't understand what Li Huairen meant, but without waiting for him to speak, Li Huairen continued: "The prince has exterminated the Wind and Rain Building, and the remnants of the Wind and Rain Building must be cleaned up as soon as possible. ”

Jiangdu Taishou Guo Jinsong is also an eight-sided exquisite character, although he can't be expected to take the lead, but this kind of thing is definitely beautiful. Therefore, after listening to Li Huairen's words, Guan Zhongyun's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "The Metropolitan Governor is high, Guan admires, and about the conquest of the White Horse Gang and the Xiongshitang, Guan thinks that the Metropolitan Governor just discussed with Guo Taishou. ”

Nodding, Li Huairen opened his mouth and said: "This official has this intention, come and pass on Guo Taishou to enter the mansion." ”

It was already midnight, but the Zhao Mansion was brightly lit, but it was plain white, especially a pitch-black coffin in the lobby, which made this dark night eerie, and the sudden cold wind blowing was even more creepy. Standing in the shade of the tree, Ling Fox couldn't help but shrink his neck, muttered and cursed, and then smiled again and walked into the mourning hall step by step.

Seeing that there were still people worshipping late at night, the guardian couldn't help but be stunned, but after seeing the person who came, his face changed slightly, and he opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say anything. Ling Fox Ji saw the expression of the spirit keeper in his eyes, and his face showed a strange smile, as if he had caught the prey. Walking to the spiritual seat, Ling Huji picked up three sticks of rosin and said at the same time: "The younger brother and Brother Zhao's colleagues have a game, although there are many disagreements on weekdays, but they are all for official business, but Brother Zhao's personality, the younger brother has always admired, and today I came to worship the elder brother." As he spoke, Ling Hu Ji had already inserted the rosin into the incense burner, and three wisps of light smoke rose but quickly dissipated.

Taking a step back, Ling Fox Ji bowed to the spirit position, straightened up and turned his mouth and said: "It's just that the old brother lost his footing and drowned, and the younger brother is not worth it for the old brother!" ”

When Linghu Ji said this, someone finally couldn't help it, and shouted: "Linghu Ji, you don't cry in the cat and fake mercy, my Zhao family doesn't welcome you, get out." ”

Hearing a rolling word, a light flashed in Ling Fox Ji's eyes, but he concealed it very well and no one saw it, and at the same time, a kind smile appeared on his face, and he smiled: "Nephew Honglie Xian's temper seems to be a little irritable?" ”

The person who spoke was Zhao Ping's second son Zhao Honglie, and unlike Zhao Ping's caution, Zhao Honglie was irritable and reckless by nature, and he had to do it if he didn't agree with a word. Staring at Linghu Ji, Zhao Honglie said in a deep voice: "It's good to know, don't mess with the second master again, otherwise you will suffer, hurry up." ”

This time, Ling Huji's expression did not change at all, and he said with a smile: "It's really hot-tempered, but why don't you see your nephew avenging Brother Zhao?" The hatred of killing his father is not shared, or, does the virtuous nephew really think that Brother Zhao has lost his footing and drowned? ”

Suddenly, Zhao Honglie's eyes widened, and he stared at Ling Huji angrily and said, "Linghu Ji, what do you mean?" If you don't make it clear, don't think about walking out of the door of my Zhao family today. ”

Ling Fox Ji hehe thief laughed, and instead of answering, he smiled: "This seems to be the right thing to ask Brother Ling." ”

After glaring at Ling Huji for a moment, Zhao Honglie finally set his eyes on his eldest brother Zhao Hongyun, and shouted: "Big brother, what's going on?" ”

Zhao Honglie didn't answer, stared at Ling Huji coldly and said, "You came to my Zhao family late at night, what are your plans?" ”

Ling Hu Ji chuckled again, and opened his mouth to say: "Why do you want to ask the virtuous nephew knowingly, do you really think that person can keep your Zhao family safe?" Speaking of this, Ling Hu Ji let out a disdainful sneer, and said: "With Brother Zhao's prudence, he finally chose Lord Wang, so he lost his footing and drowned, and the virtuous nephew didn't want to avenge his father, so he still wanted to recognize the thief as his father?" ”

Zhao Honglie has a reckless personality but is not a person without a little scheming, and after listening to Ling Huji, he seemed to think of something, and asked again: "Big brother, but is it true?" ”

Staring at the second brother Zhao Honglie, Zhao Hongyun asked coldly: "Could it be that the second brother thinks that Wang Jiangshuo can let go of my Zhao family?" ”

Zhao Hongyun said a word, and Zhao Honglie immediately went down. Zhao Pingnai is the master of Zheng Zhan, who made a lot of efforts to force Wang Jiangshuo away, with Wang Jiangshuo's heart, even if he asks them for the time being, I am afraid that he will have to settle accounts after the autumn, so for people like Wang Jiangshuo, Zhao Honglie does not have a good feeling, if he is allowed to choose, it is also Zheng Ting, but thinking of the cause of his father Zhao Ping's death, Zhao Honglie's eyes flashed again, and he must find out about this matter.

Ling Hu Ji seemed to have guessed Zhao Hongyun's reaction a long time ago, looked at the two of them with a smile and said, "What about the Seventh Prince?" ”

Hearing Ling Huji's words, the two brothers Zhao Hongyun and Zhao Honglie were shocked, staring at Ling Huji with disbelief on their faces, but Zhao Hongyun quickly came back to his senses and said in a deep voice: "Our brothers naturally believe in the Seventh Prince, but unfortunately it's too late, I have handed over the account books to Lord Zheng." At the end of the words, Zhao Hongyun closed his eyes even more, as if he was too lazy to look at Ling Huji again.

Hearing that Zhao Hongyun had handed over the account book to Zheng Yu, a light flashed in Ling Huji's eyes, but he quickly laughed again, and said: "Ling Zun is cautious by nature, otherwise he can stand in Jiangnan officialdom for decades, everything is prepared with both hands, and the account book should still have a rubbing, right?" ”

Zhao Hongyun immediately opened his eyes, shook his head after thinking for a moment and said, "Maybe, it's just that I have never heard my father mention it." At the end of the words, Zhao Hongyun closed his eyes again, obviously sending off the guests, but at this moment, Zhao Honglie suddenly thought of something and shouted: "I remember, a few days ago, my father said that I was reckless, and it was time to cultivate my self-cultivation, so I forcibly stuffed me with a few books, and I threw them in the practice room." ”

Zhao Hongyun opened his eyes again, and the three of them glanced at each other and ran towards the practice room at the same time.
