It turned out that since Hu Shidao took refuge in the Daiwang Mansion, Zhu Gui has been having a headache about the other party's placement.

He obviously lacked trust in Hu Shidao, and the other party also expressed his unwillingness to be a normal businessman.

After thinking about it, Zhu Gui arranged for him to work as an intelligence merchant.

On the one hand, this was done to accommodate Hu Shidao and the members of the Salt Gang who followed him.

On the other hand, it is also to prevent those possible dangers.

Unexpectedly, Hu Shidao is indeed very good at this kind of shady work.

Not only because he has accumulated a large number of connections throughout Shanxi over the years, but also because of his ruthless character.

And this time, he has the acting palace as a backer, so his actions are more daring than ever.

Zhu Gui also turned a blind eye to this.

Finally, this time Hu Shidao caught a big fish.

On the one hand, he ordered someone to send information to the palace of the Dai Wang, and on the other hand, he personally followed the Fang family steward to the border of the Mongols.

And he didn't stop there.

You must know that the Salt Gang also did business with the Mongols in the past, but it was not as big as the Fang family.

So he found an acquaintance, and then, as he used to do business, he bargained with the other party while taking the opportunity to find out information.

Unexpectedly, he came empty-handed this time, and what he promised was also a blank check, but these Mongols really let him get some useful information based on the relationship between the two sides in the past.

It seems that the Mongols did not know that the Salt Gang had been wiped out.

After a few days in the Mongolian tribe.

Only then did Hu Shidao learn that the Mongols were going to make a big move recently.

The reason is that the cavalry of several nearby tribes is gathering in this direction.

Although Datongfu was often attacked by the Mongols, it had never been so large-scale.

Hu Shidao returned to Datong Mansion overnight that night, and personally came to the Daiwang Mansion to meet Zhu Gui, and Chen told him what he had seen along the way.

Zhu Gui was also very surprised when he heard this.

He originally thought that the Fang family had some business dealings with the Mongols at most, but now it seems that this Fang Shiru wants to make a big move by borrowing the hands of the Mongols.

He immediately called someone to invite Xu Yingxu, and now, he must quickly cut through the mess and force the Fang family's conspiracy.

If something really happens to Datong Mansion, with the attitude of the old man Zhu Yuanzhang towards him, the feudal position is small, and he is afraid that he will not even be able to save his life.

Xu Yingxu came overnight, and after hearing the details, his face also changed greatly.

"Lord Wang, what are you going to do?"

"What to do? Of course, he led someone to seal up the Fang family, and grabbed Fang Shiru to ask clearly. ”

Zhu Gui said solemnly.

"But now that there is no evidence, Fang Shiru will not admit it, right? When the time comes, public opinion will be unfavorable to the Acting Palace. Xu Yingxu hesitated and said.

"It's okay, a little reputation is not as comprehensive as Datong Mansion, if it is really a misjudgment, this king will play and ask for punishment."

At this time, Zhu Gui didn't want to play the kind of reasoning game in the novel.

"Okay, I'm going to get people together."

Xu Yingxu left.

After waiting for a stick of incense, Zhu Gui couldn't sit still any longer, and immediately called his own soldiers, asked them to gather all the government soldiers, and took advantage of the night to touch the Fang family.

It was already the second half of the night, but the Fang family was still brightly lit.

In the courtyard of the Fang family's house, horse-drawn carriages loaded with food and weapons were ready to go.

When Fang Shiru saw this scene, a look of pain appeared on his face.

"All this is for the future of the Fang family, housekeeper, what's going on over there at the city gate?"

"Master, the soldiers on duty today have been bought by us, and there will be no one on duty in the second half of the night." The butler said smugly.

Fang Shiru nodded, "Let's go." ”

The back door of Fang's house was wide open, and the carriage rushed out, making a 'squeak' sound.

When Zhu Gui rode to Fang's house, he happened to see the last carriage disappear around the corner.

"You take someone to intercept the convoy back, and you go and inform General Xu and ask him to lead people to block the four city gates, and not let one person leave Datong Mansion."

Zhu Gui gave an order to his soldiers.

And he himself only brought two pro-soldier level to break into the Fang family.

Fang Shiru was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea.

This day was crucial for the Fang family, so he had no intention of sleeping.

Soon, there was a commotion outside the hospital.

As soon as he got up, the courtyard door was pushed open, and several Fang family guards were thrown in.

Then Zhu Gui walked in.

"Acting king?"

Fang Shiru's eyes widened, and there was a look of disbelief on his face.

Could it be that the matter has been revealed? The other party has come to arrest him?

"Patriarch Fang is really Yaxing, he's still drinking tea so late."

Zhu Gui walked over and said lightly.

Fang Shiru noticed that there were only two personal soldiers behind this little prince, and his heart was a little relieved.

"I don't know what the king of the Acting King came to the Humble House late at night, what do you think?"

Zhu Gui sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and said, "The Fang family has the largest rice shop in Datong Mansion, right?" This year, the drought in Datong Mansion is serious, and the king expects that the output will be seriously reduced, and I am afraid that there will be a famine at that time, so the king wants to buy some grain from the patriarch Fang in the name of the Datong Chamber of Commerce. ”

"Buying grain?"

Zhu Gui's words made Fang Shiru suspicious.

Came to his house so late just to buy food?

He had a faint feeling in his heart that the person who came was not good.

Moreover, most of the Fang family's granary had already been given to the Mongols, and he couldn't come up with enough grain now.

"Lord Wang, let's talk about this kind of thing during the day, then the old man will go to the Chamber of Commerce to discuss with the prince in detail, and the price is easy to say."

He just wants to send Zhu Gui away now, as long as this night is over, everything will be fine.

Zhu Gui heard this, but he didn't speak, he was still drinking tea slowly, as if he was waiting for something.

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps outside.

Hu Shidao pressed the housekeeper of the Fang family and walked into the courtyard.

"Lord Wang, I have arrested this thief."

Hu Shidao pushed the Fang family's housekeeper, whose face was covered with scars, to Zhu Gui.

Zhu Gui was unmoved, as if he had expected all this a long time ago.

But Fang Shiru on the side was frightened.

He took a few steps back, and he couldn't speak to the butler, so he picked up a long knife from the weapon rack in the courtyard and slashed at the butler.

In his opinion, as long as the steward was solved, the king would not be able to do anything to him even if he was suspicious.

But his knife was blocked by the soldiers standing behind Zhu Gui with flintlock pistols.

The housekeeper was frightened, and hurriedly kowtowed to Zhu Gui and shouted: "The prince spares his life, and the grass people are just acting on orders, Fang Shiru asked me to do it, and he wants to unite the Mongols to kill the prince." ”

When everyone present heard this, they were all shocked.

"Oh, tell me more about it, how exactly does he want to kill this king?"

Zhu Gui raised his eyebrows and asked in a cold voice.
