Chapter 21: The Storm is Coming

"Seventh Prince, Xiao Rui!"

After Xu Xianyang got the news, he was also unexpected.

"You said that the person who asked Haoran to leave early in the morning was Xiao Rui, the seventh prince?" Xu Xianyang asked again with confirmation.

The subordinate next to him said: "Yes, master, it has been confirmed." ”

Xu Xianyang was pacing in the hall, he was not familiar with the Seven Princes, the harem had no support, and there were no henchmen among the civil and military officials, he was a dispensable prince, and Xu Xianyang, who was a cabinet scholar, did not look at such a prince at all.

I didn't expect it to be an iceberg in the water, and there was a hidden hand.

So, how much does he really have in his hands?

Take the initiative to contact Xu Haoran, what do you want to do?

Xu Xianyang's status had to make him think about it more.

"Go, send me an invitation and invite him to the house for dinner." Xu Xianyang commanded.

Xu Haoran's mother asked, "Are you okay?" ”

"It's okay! An unfavored prince can't make any waves. What's more, Ying Tianfu can't come up with evidence, what evidence can he have? I guess the reason why he stepped in was nothing more than to threaten me and make me support him, and it seems that this son is not small. Xu Xianyang said with a smile.

Xu Haoran's mother hesitated for a moment and said, "The five members of the Wang family died like this..."

Xu Xianyang squinted his eyes and scolded: "Women's family, what do you know!" As early as in Luzhou Mansion, when Haoran was involved with that woman, I planned to cut through the mess quickly and transfer him back to Beijing, this kid begs you, you blow the wind in my ears for me, and I am busy with official business, so that things are delayed, resulting in a deep-rooted relationship between the two. If I hadn't asked Xu Ming to cover it up, their relationship would have spread in Luzhou Mansion a long time ago. ”

"Don't you know that King Ruyang loves his daughter, how can you tolerate the future son-in-law to have something to do with a folk woman, and let her daughter suffer the slightest grievance?"

"Let him go back to the capital as soon as possible, how can there be such a thing, do I still need to set up a plan to let Xu Ming act in that kind of play, and let Haoran think about it?"

Speaking of this, Xu Xianyang sighed, "I didn't expect this group of Wang family members to dare to come to the capital to blackmail after receiving money." If I don't let Xu Ming force them away, this matter will be deadlocked, and Haoran's marriage will have to be ruined. The most annoying thing is that the kid from the Wang family actually threatened to beat the drum, which made my Xu family lose face and stir up the yellow marriage. Hmph, it's really an uncivilized pariah, how can this be justified. ”

Xu Haoran's mother sighed in her heart and didn't dare to speak. He was worried that his husband, who was now in a high position and power, had become a disdain to the lives of the people, and he would inevitably suffer bitter fruits in the future, but she didn't dare to say more.

At noon, Xu Xianyang's invitation was sent to Duanwang's Mansion.

Xiao Feng's princess Cao Wan'er failed to squeeze out Xiao Rui, but instead lost 20,000 taels of silver, so angry that Xiao Feng wanted to give her two punches to dispel her anger.

Duanwangfu was at a loss, so he arranged for his subordinates to not be allowed to tell outsiders that Xiao Rui had moved out, so Xu Xianyang's invitation was still sent here.

Xiao Feng looked at the invitation, the content was very simple, eat his seventh brother to eat at night at home.

But Xiao Feng seemed to see Xu Xianyang join Xiao Rui's camp, colluded with him, and helped him compete for the throne.

Granny legs!

Xiao Feng was so angry that he kicked the wooden door, he thought that he was strong in martial arts, better than Xiao Rui, why did he do everything possible to win him over, Xu Xianyang didn't even let go of a fart, so he invited Xiao Rui, who was not outstanding, to eat?

"Prepare the car!" Xiao Feng shouted.

Xiao Rui didn't expect Xiao Feng to come to the door in person.

I thought it was to apologize, but I didn't expect it to be Xingshi's question.

"Seventh brother, this is an invitation sent by Lord Xu, inviting you to come over for dinner. Unexpectedly, the seventh brother's good means have taken the lead among the brothers to win over the cabinet ministers. "Xiao Feng is yin and yang.

Xiao Rui looked at the invitation and was not surprised.

It's Xiao Feng's stupid big man's ridicule, hey, it's pitiful to have no brains.

"Fourth brother, my brother has a reluctant invitation and wants you to accompany me to the Xu Mansion for dinner." Xiao Rui pleaded.

"Huh?" Xiao Feng was a little dumbfounded and asked, "Is it okay?" ”

"Why not! Xu Ge Lao invited me into the mansion because I helped his son see through the truth of one thing, and he didn't live in deception, so he specially thanked me. What do you think? Xiao Rui asked rhetorically.

Xiao Feng scratched the back of his head and said, "I didn't think anything, then I'll accompany you at night." ”

The real monologue in his heart is: I want to see if you are complicit.

Xiao Rui nodded happily.

The knife blocker who threw himself into the net is really a good fourth brother.

In the evening, Xiao Rui got into Xiao Feng's carriage and went to Xu's house.

came to the door of Xu's house to report, and Xu Xianyang personally came out to greet him.

On the way, he already knew that it was not only the seventh prince Xiao Rui, but also the fourth prince Xiao Feng.

Yes, why are you confused, Xiao Rui lives in Xiao Feng's house and listens to him in everything, so the person behind Xiao Rui is actually Xiao Feng?

Didn't you say that Xiao Feng was brave and unscrupulous? It seems that it is all rumor.

"Meet Lord Xu!" Xiao Feng was in front, Xiao Rui stood behind him, and the two of them greeted each other.

Xu Xianyang returned the salute: "The two highnesses are here, let my Xu Mansion shine, please come in." ”

"Xu Ge is serious." Xiao Feng bowed and smiled.

Xiao Rui followed behind Xiao Feng, and when Xu Xianyang looked at him, he gave him a shy smile.

The three of them entered the main hall, and the food and drinks were ready.

Xu Xianyang asked Xiao Feng to sit on the north side to show respect, while he sat on the east side of the main seat, and Xiao Rui sat on the west side.

Xu Xianyang poured the wine himself, looked at Xiao Rui, and asked, "Seventh Prince, I heard that early this morning, you asked the dog out?" ”

"Yes, I heard that Xu Gongzi is not in good spirits and is deceived by lies, so I will do my best to enlighten him." Xiao Rui said: "This is all taught to me by my fourth brother, so that I am good at helping others, especially officials who are valuable to the imperial court." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Although Xiao Feng didn't understand what the first half of the sentence meant, the second half of the sentence was just boasting about himself.

Xu Xianyang said: "Since you have been enlightened, then stop unnecessary actions." Or let him digest it himself. There are too many involved, so be careful to provoke the fire. ”

Xiao Feng was a little confused, how could he not understand.

Xiao Rui smiled and asked, "Fourth brother, what do you say?" If there is a person who relies on his identity to do evil, or even disregard people's lives and betray the favor of his father, should we let him go? ”

"Spare it? I'm going to have to wring his head off and use it for the night. Xiao Feng roared.

Xu Xianyang's face sank and asked, "Why don't you weigh how many catties and taels you have?" ”

"Me, two hundred and twenty pounds, heavy enough." Xiao Feng replied truthfully.

Xiao Rui really wanted to praise Xiao Feng, and the answer was strong.

"Fourth Highness, are you deliberately pretending to be stupid?" Xu Xianyang thought that Xiao Feng was cooperating with Xiao Rui to play himself.

"Yes, yes, I deliberately pretended to be stupid, I am so smart, I naturally understand everything." Xiao Feng hurriedly shouted, I can't let Lord Xu know that I don't know anything.

Xu Xianyang's face was gloomy.

"Am I saying the wrong thing? Actually, I don't know anything, I'm just here to eat. Xiao Feng hurriedly put down his chopsticks to eat vegetables.

"Two highnesses, look at the old man's thin face, this matter has been revealed, and I owe you a favor." Xu Xianyang said.

"Good! Exposed, revealed. Xiao Feng immediately agreed.

Before Xiao Rui could speak, a pleasant voice came to mind again.

"Ding Dong..."
