Chapter 175: Blackmailing Fang Hu
After Huang Xu discussed the action plan with his brothers, everyone began to act separately.
And Huang Xu took Yao Dahong to find Fang Hu, he had inquired clearly, Fang Hu did not go out today, and rested at home.
Just like Zhao Xiaofeng and Ning Zezhong, Fang Hu lives in his own mansion most of the time, except for some times when he lives in Dongwangfu, and his mansion, like Zhao Xiaofeng, is also on Chang'an Street, which is densely populated with high-ranking officials and rich gentry.
Huang Xu inquired about the approximate location of the Fang Mansion, and went straight to the destination with Yao Dahong.
When he arrived at the door of Fang Hu's mansion, he handed over his name to the doorman, saying that he wanted to see Fang Hu, and the doorman saw that he was the housekeeper of the East Palace, so he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly passed it on.
After a while, Fang Hu came briskly with the guard.
"Yo, Steward Huang, what kind of wind blew you to the humble house today." As soon as Huang Xu saw Huang Xu's face, he hugged his fists and asked with a smile.
"General Fang is not welcome?" Huang Xu also clenched his fists and said with a smile.
"Where, where, you are a rare distinguished guest, you usually can't be invited, today you can come uninvited, how can there be no reason not to welcome." Fang Hu also said with a smile.
Although Fang Hu has always been prejudiced against Huang Xu, and Huang Xu is also extremely disgusted with Fang Hu, the two of them are on errands under Dongwang, and they have to take care of some face-saving things.
After entering the mansion, Huang Xu was taken all the way to the living room by Fang Hu.
"Steward Huang, please take a seat." Fang Hu said.
"General Fang, you're welcome." After Huang Xu finished speaking, he sat down at the last point that Fang Hu said, while Yao Dahong stood behind him.
On occasions like this. Yao Dahong is not qualified to sit.
Fang Hu sat side by side with Huang Xu across a table. Fang Hu ordered someone to serve tea, and after a little noise with Huang Xu, he cut to the chase and asked straightforwardly: "Steward Huang, you are now a big celebrity in the palace, and your nobles are busy, so you must have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and you are here today, you won't come here specifically to see me." ”
General Fang smiled. I've really come to see you today. Huang Xu said with a grin.
"Really? That's weird. Fang Hu was so fortunate that he was visited by Butler Lao Huang. Fang Hu was a little stunned.
"Of course, while visiting General Fang, I also have one more thing to ask General Fang for help." Huang Xu said.
"Oh. Butler Huang. Please speak. Fang Hu knew that Huang Xu would not be so kind to see him.
"I don't know if General Fang still remembers Tian Xiaoer?" Huang Xu got straight to the point.
"Tian Xiaoer. Tian Xiaoer, yes, Tian Xiaoer. Remember, remember, how can you not remember, he turned out to be my subordinate. Fang Hu looked suddenly enlightened.
"Does that general remember what you said when you were in the barracks?" Huang Xu carefully induced.
"What words? I don't remember it a little, and I asked Steward Huang for advice. Fang Hu was stunned, not knowing what Huang Xu meant by this.
"General Fang is a noble man, how forgetful!" Huang Xu sighed.
"What do you mean by Steward Huang's words?" Fang Hu's face changed.
"General Fang, please don't get me wrong, I mean, maybe you're too busy with things and have forgotten some of what you've said." Huang Xu said.
"Steward Huang, if you have something to say, please speak directly." Fang Hu knew that Huang Xu's words must have a reason.
"Tian Xiaoer's serious injury and amnesia, General Fang should still remember, right?" Huang Xu didn't believe it, Fang Hu even forgot about this.
"Yes, remember, remember, I remember this, Xiao Er was injured and lost his memory, zuihou or I arranged for someone to send him back, but, you all know, the palace has been busy recently, I haven't been able to spare time to visit him, what's going on, is something wrong with Xiao Er?" Fang Hukou has no obstruction to the tunnel.
Huang Xu heard Fang Hu say that Xiao Er had an accident, his face changed, and he said unhappily: "He's like this, what does General Fang think will happen to him?" ”
"Steward Huang, I am also kind to inquire, don't misunderstand what I mean." Fang Hu was also very unhappy.
He felt that Huang Xu was asking for guilt, of course, if he could patiently listen to Huang Xu continue, then he might know that Huang Xu would not be as simple as Xingshi asking guilt.
"I didn't misunderstand General Fang's meaning, General Fang just forgot some things that shouldn't be forgotten, I just came to kindly remind General Fang." Huang Xu is not salty or light.
"Huang Xu, don't deceive people too much, this is my mansion." Fang Hu changed color and said.
"Understood, understood, so, General Fang, you don't need to be so angry, talk well, I don't want to fight with you." Huang Xu was still very calm and authentic.
"Fighting? You think I'm afraid of you," Fang Hu shouted.
However, to be honest, whether you are afraid or not, only Fang Hu knows it in his heart.
"General Fang, don't be impatient, don't be impatient, listen to me finish my words first." Huang Xu said.
"Hmph." Fang Hu snorted and sat back in his chair.
"General Fang, when he was in the barracks at that time, General Fang personally promised that after returning to Beijing, General Fang would apply for a sum of money for Tian Xiaoer's serious injury this time as compensation, is there such a thing? General Fang. Huang Xu said.
"I don't remember." Fang Hu's face was ugly.
Looking at it like that, Huang Xu knew that this Fang Hu wanted to pay the bill.
"If General Fang says so, I have nothing to say, I just want to ask General Fang one more sentence, whether Tian Xiaoer's injury and amnesia are true." Huang Xu said.
"That's right, it's true." Fang Hu said unhappily, he didn't know what Huang Xu wanted to do.
"Mr. Zhao was also present at the time, and he also knew about it, didn't he, General Fang?" Huang Xu said.
"Yes." Fang Hu said.
"Then, since this is the case, then please ask General Fang to go to the palace with me, and I will personally clarify this time to the prince, and I will also call Mr. Zhao at that time." Huang Xu morality.
He knew that reasoning with someone like Fang Hu was in vain, he could only be ruthless, and only by fighting hard could he subdue Fang Hu.
"Steward Huang, what do you want to do?" Fang Hu said angrily.
"What do I want to do, can't General Fang hear it? Let's ask the prince to comment together. Huang Xu said.
"You...."Fang Hu slapped the case. His eyes glared at Huang Xu fiercely.
"What, want to do it? Always at your disposal. Huang Xu also stood up and looked directly at Fang Hu with an expressionless face.
The two of them stared at each other for a long time, zuihou, Fang Hu sighed and said, "Steward Huang, aren't you bullying people?" ”
Fang Hu's attitude had softened significantly.
"I deceived people, have you ever thought that it was you who deceived people first." Huang Xu replied.
"This Tian Xiaoer has nothing to do with you, why should you be strong?" Fang Hu said again.
"Yes. Tian Xiaoer is not only related to me. And it's a lot of relationships. Huang Xu said.
"Oh, now I finally understand that when I was in the barracks, it turned out that Steward Huang actually conspired with Tian Xiaoer and the others. Count me. Fang Hu felt that he had grabbed Huang Xu's handle.
"Fart. I'm talking about this relationship. refers to Tian Xiaoer and my followers, Yao Dahong is a brother, since he and Yao Dahong are brothers. That's my brother, that's how we relate. Fang Hu said.
"Hmph, hmph, you can't explain it clearly, even in front of the East King, I'm not afraid of you, who called you to be an acquaintance with Tian Xiaoer, even if he has no direct relationship with you, he also has a relationship with your follower." Fang Hu felt that he was justified again at this time, and his voice became louder again.
"General Fang, you are referring to a deer as a horse." Huang Xu said.
"Yes and what, what can you do to me?" Fang Hu's attitude began to harden again.
"Hey, hey, General Fang, you always like to miss a key witness, Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao also knows about this, this point, when everyone was in the barracks, they have made it clear, you say, if you come to the front of the East King, I and Mr. Zhao are talking about the same fact, you say, what will the East King think?" Huang Xu said.
"Huang Xu, you're too much." Fang Hu shouted again.
This Fang Hu didn't want to think about who was shouting there from beginning to end, and who was excessive.
"General Fang, you have said the opposite, I want to say, it's not that I'm excessive, but you're excessive, weishenme said this, one, you promised others, but you didn't admit it, this is called cheating, two, since the moment I stepped into your General Fang's mansion, it has been you who have been jumping up and down, not me Huang Xu, then, tell me, who is excessive." Huang Xu said.
When Fang Hu heard Huang Xu say this, he clenched his fists, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out, it seemed that he might burst out and hurt people at any time, Huang Xu was secretly on guard.
After a while, Fang Hu didn't know if he had figured it out, his face calmed down, his attitude softened again, and he swallowed his anger and said: "Steward Huang, this matter, I was wrong before, I will explain this matter to the prince as soon as possible and give Steward Huang an explanation." ”
"Okay, as long as General Fang says this, then I don't have anything to say, but I want to hear how General Fang is going to explain to the prince." Huang Xu said.
"What do you mean by Steward Huang?" Fang Hu said.
"I mean, how many taels of silver are you going to apply for from the prince?" Huang Xu is very direct.
"Then how do I know, how much can the prince approve, even if it is as much, I can't control it." Fang Hu said.
"I don't care how much the prince approves, but I want 500,000 taels." Huang Xu said.
"What, 500,000 taels, you lied to me?" Fang Hu jumped up.
"I'm just lying to you, what?" Fang Hu's face was still calm.
"I'm going to accuse you from the prince." Fang Hu said angrily.
"If you want to sue, I won't stop you, although you go and sue, but after you sue, I also have one thing to explain to the prince." Huang Xu said.
"What do you mean?" Fang Hu said.
"When I was in the barracks, I watched a scene, that scene made people sick to watch, someone was lying on a corpse and worked non-stop, don't say that a high-spirited person like the prince can't tolerate it, even if it's the Wing King, if he knows that someone killed his people and did such a dirty thing, what do you think he would think?" Huang Xu said with a smile.
When Fang Hu heard Huang Xu's words, his face was full of horror, he didn't expect Huang Xu to know about it, he thought, this is bad, but when he thinks about it, he feels that this kid should have no evidence in his hand, if he doesn't admit it, he can't help it.
"I don't know what Steward Huang is talking about." Fang Hu said.
"What am I talking about, you know it very well in your heart, you think, what you have done, only God knows, the earth knows, you know, I know, but you may not have thought that after you threw that poor girl in a stone grave, I followed, and then buried this girl, and got a piece of jade pendant from this girl ripped from you, and the semen that you went crazy on her when you did bad things, by the way, you may not understand what this semen is, explain it to you, you may not understand, in short, I have sufficient evidence, Prove that you did something bad. Huang Xu said very bluntly.
"Huang Xu, you...."Fang Hu was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Huang Xu to know so clearly.
"General Fang, for the sake of everyone being colleagues, I won't testify against you, but if you want to compensate two or five hundred thousand taels of silver in exchange, you should know which is more important." Huang Xu said with a smile.
"You're so ruthless." Fang Hu gritted his teeth and said.
"I guess that's what I'm saying." Huang Xu said.
"Okay, I'll give, can't I give 500,000?" Fang Hu completely softened, he knew that he had no choice.
"That's right, General Fang, within thirty days, if there is no 500,000, I will still spread this matter." Huang Xu said.
"The time is too tight, can you give a few more graces." Fang Hu said pitifully.
"Alright then, just twenty-five days." Huang Xu said.
"Don't, Huang Xu, Steward Huang, okay, thirty days is thirty days." Huang Xu bit and said ruthlessly.
"That's just like words, okay, General Fang, you are short on time, I won't bother, if the money is raised, let someone notify, I will come to pick it up in person, I will leave first." Huang Xu said.
After he finished speaking, he got up and left, leaving Fang Hu there alone in a daze. (To be continued......)
