Chapter 54 - The Mysterious Shopkeeper
Feng Shanshan heard her brother's tone suddenly become serious, and Feng Shanshan naturally understood what her brother meant when he said this. It's just that he wants to use part of the ability of this shopkeeper to let them see this county order in Chen County. So, Feng Shanshan also whispered unceremoniously: "I believe you know better than us about the current situation, who is orthodox, presumably the people who have left the country support the current monarch of the country." And why did the royal Chen family jump, it was not because the national capital left the city and moved to Weicheng in the first place, which directly led to the damage to the basic interests of these royal Chen families. And in the recent period of time, every place in the Xuanling Continent has been implementing His Majesty's new orders, ordering to weaken the strength of the nobles of various families, which has even more violated the power and most basic interests of the Chen family of the imperial family. As a result, naturally there were a few people in the Chen family who were dissatisfied with this situation of being tied up, which eventually affected the entire royal Chen family, making the Chen family finally decide to raise troops to resist, which also led to one of the main reasons for the current situation.
Feng Shanshan still has a sentence that has not been completely said, and now the reason why the Chen family of the royal family wants to raise troops to resist is not only because their basic interests have been damaged. The revolt at the loss of basic interests can be said to be forced. However, on the day they left Weicheng, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, two siblings, received Chen Xinyu's last letter, in which Chen Xinyu described in detail that when her father was still in power, there were already several old people in the Chen family who thought they were very old dissatisfied with her father, because some things her father did made these members of the royal Chen family very dissatisfied. In the letter, Chen Xinyu also mentioned two names, one is Chen Fu and the other is Chen Xuan. It's just that now Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two siblings, don't quite know where these two are sacred, of course, all the things that happened after this must be able to show that these two people surnamed Chen must be on the opposite side of Chen Xinyu. In other words, the members of the Chen family of the royal family are not convinced by the existence of Chen Xinyu and her father.
So, after learning about this matter, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, two brothers and sisters, had already thought of a good plan. The Chen family of the royal family, in Chen Xinyu's opinion, there are nearly three hundred clansmen who can enter the council hall alone, and the number of clansmen in other aspects must be higher than three hundred, and among them, in addition to the highest-ranking patriarch, there are also seven other family members who have the actual power scattered all over the place. Of course, Chen Xinyu also explained in the letter to Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, two siblings, that these seven family members were the actual official positions she had conferred, and the purpose was to scatter them in various places and not be able to gather together to carry out an uprising in the city. Ms. Chen said that although she had not had the opportunity to investigate further, she was almost certain that at least none of the seven family members would support such a move by the royal family. Perhaps, there are a few family members who are not very supportive of the royal Chen family and want to accept the orthodox departure from the country, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, two brothers and sisters, also understand what Chen Xinyu means, if they can rebel against them, it is a very good thing. It's just that the two siblings don't know the specific situation yet, so they haven't put it into practice. However, now the eyes of the two siblings are aimed at the shopkeeper in front of them. It seems that he is also a person who has a good status in this Lichen County, and it is also a very good thing to be able to speak in this county, and it is even a good thing that can be used.
So, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two siblings, made a more serious choice like this, and they wanted to use this shopkeeper to carry out inspections in this Lichen County. Perhaps, this is the first county town they can transfer to Chen Xinyu's command. If it succeeds, it will surely attract more credibility. Since this is the case, then presumably these two aspects, which are still neutral, will begin to change to Chen Xinyu's side. In this way, their plan can be regarded as the first and most critical step of success.
It's just that the shopkeeper standing in front of Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan really didn't expect that Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, two brothers and sisters, would talk to him so unceremoniously, and then he also figured out the possibility. Just by virtue of the token representing the emperor in their hands, they will definitely be able to prove that the identity and status of these two siblings are unusual, and perhaps, these two siblings may really become the best existence in the future. So, the shopkeeper naturally didn't dare to despise the brother and sister in front of him, so he immediately said with a smile: "In this case, this is not right for me, I don't know if you two have any other needs now, or do you need my help?"
Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two siblings, want such an effect, what they need most at this time is to complete the task given to them by Chen Xinyu now, and go to the city as soon as possible to understand the most far-reaching and unpredictable situation, what they are doing in this county away from Chen County is just the first step plan to carry out the final action here. As a result, Feng Yuchong hid the serious and indifferent look on his original face. Instead, he said: "It's not that we want to be difficult for you, it's really because the current situation really doesn't allow us to continue to be optimistic." I believe that as long as the neutral realm of Lichen has made the right choice, the neutral forces in other fields will already wait and follow in the footsteps of Lichen County to follow in the right direction. At that time, the initial credit will be yours, I don't know what the shopkeeper wants?"
This burly shopkeeper naturally has his own conclusions in his heart, but the words spoken by the two brothers and sisters Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan at this time really lured him. What he needs most now is such an indispensable basic benefit, and the token from at least a prince or a relative also makes him feel more or less relieved in his heart, so he just hesitated for a while, and immediately decided to cooperate with these two brothers and sisters.
Thinking of this, the shopkeeper no longer had any other hesitation, in fact, he himself had actually reached this situation where he had no choice. Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two brothers and sisters, took out the golden order, and even did not hesitate to use the special power given to them by Chen Xinyu to deter the shopkeeper, which must have completely tied the net worth and life of the shopkeeper to this restaurant. This shopkeeper has now reached a situation where he has no choice, and he can only choose to cooperate with Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, two siblings.
So, the shopkeeper originally vowed to take the lead in the communication process with Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, but now he never thought that these two brothers and sisters ruthlessly exposed all kinds of thoughts in his heart now, and completely took the biggest advantage in the game between each other. This point, the shopkeeper really did not expect.
However, since he agreed to this matter, the burly shopkeeper didn't intend to refuse, and the reason for this is that it can really help him accomplish things that he didn't even dare to imagine before. In the slightly surprised eyes of several shopkeepers and guests around him, the burly shopkeeper walked out of the gate of this restaurant with the two brothers and sisters Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan beside him, and came to the street away from Chen County.
Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two siblings, had already found this restaurant located in the center of Lichen County when they stayed overnight, and now they are walking out of here at this moment is naturally the central area of the downtown area of Lichen County, after all, this is only a small county town, and it is bound to be inferior to those big cities in any aspect. However, in this small county, you can feel the neighborhood harmony that you can't see in big towns, and there is a feeling of calm and wind in this Lichen county. This feeling made the two siblings feel as if they were in Ruocheng, which they had been most familiar with since childhood, but had not been to for a while. The last time they returned to the bamboo forest, they hadn't been back for months, except for the three of them who had gone to Ruocheng to buy some things. Coupled with the complex terrain of this place now, the river life is unfamiliar with the feeling, so that the two siblings do not know when and where they will be able to leave this place and return to live in the bamboo forest.
When the two siblings walked out of the three-story restaurant, which was made of pillars carved from red nan wood, and stood on the street, looking at the quiet and peaceful scenery in front of them at this moment, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan naturally remembered that they had lived in the most intimate place for them - Ruocheng. It's just that the scale of Ruocheng's city is much larger than that of Lichen County.
Just as the two brothers and sisters were watching the people strolling home one after another and the red lanterns had been lit at the door of each house to illuminate the street, the burly shopkeeper in front of him walked behind Feng Yuchong and said with a smile: "Two, I have already done everything, I wonder if you can be ready now?"
After hearing the shopkeeper's words, he turned around and looked at the two brothers and sisters, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, and their eyes met a group of figures in light blue uniforms behind them. Feng Yuchong's gaze was like lightning, pointing directly at these dozens of people who were like officials, and the one at the head was an existence that seemed to be slightly unfazed. At this time, the shopkeeper explained: "This is Wu Putou, and he is also a figure who is second only to the county commander and general from Chen County. ”
