After giving these instructions, Li Shengxun felt a little relieved, her face was a little tired, she looked at the sky, and asked lazily, "How long have I been asleep?"

"It's been almost two hours."

"That's enough." Li Shengsheng muttered, she rubbed her forehead again, and barely suppressed the irritability in her heart. "You went to see the agent? Besides Ah Xun's matter, is there any other news?"

Rujin nodded, revealing a gentle smile, "There's good news. Yingxiao came over with the news, saying that she had successfully contacted Hong Huai, Hong Huai still trusted her, and now Yingxiao will go to Hong Huai's door every day, Yingxiao is smart and alert, she has never acted rashly, and she has touched the terrain, just wait for your order, you can act."

"I remember that Yingxiao's trick doesn't seem to work?" Li Shengxing held his forehead.

Liujin nodded, "There is a specialization in the art industry, Yingxiao is proficient in medical skills, and she is obsessed with Qihuang, and she is indeed a little worse when it comes to the organs."

"Tell her not to act rashly for a while." Li Shengxing remembered Hu Wenruo. Nine times out of ten, if Hu Wenruo knows such an exquisite technique, it is because he has been in contact with it. If Hu Wen is still like this, Hong Huai is a confidant of the Zhou family, and the organs in his house must be more secret and complicated.

Ying Xiao is afraid that she may not be able to deal with it, and it is easy to startle the snake.

"Do you want to send someone to answer it?"

"Nature." Li Shengxian lowered her eyes, and when she finished Hong Huai's affairs, this matter was almost over, Li Shengxian was in a lot of mood, and it was easy to calm down, and she breathed a sigh of relief, "That's it, I don't worry about who goes." Hongfu is dangerous, no less than Longtan Tiger's Den, and I still have to go there once. If you find a suitable one, I'll go to the lower hill myself, and the lower hill will not be far away."

"Yes."

……

Rong Zhi stuffed herself in the house for a few days, and Gu Lingxu came to see her several times, but Rong Zhi was not seen because of her illness, but her current state is indeed not very good.

He almost forced himself not to think about these things, but his heart was extremely uneasy, and his first concern was not anything else, but the reaction of the imperial court.

The consequences of Gu Lingxu's actions, as well as the reaction of the imperial court, he calmed down a little and thought clearly.

All of a sudden, I was a little annoyed that I was led by Ning Rushuang. In fact, why should he think about the question of whether Gu Lingxu should rebel now?

Whether it should or shouldn't be, Gu Lingxu has lost his sense of proportion in doing this, he is clearly against the imperial court. At this time, if he turns his face with the court and the two sides confront each other, is it because he Gu Ling is making false gains?

Don't you know that the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind.

Gu Lingxu has already lost his place, and he only hopes that the imperial court will not be angry with Gu Lingxu, even if it is to temporarily agree to Gu Lingxu's request, it is good to appease. In short, it is also the right to grant temporary substitution.

As for Gu Ling's hypocrisy or not, this is not a matter to be considered at the moment. And if Gu Ling rebelled, what would happen to him, he didn't know at the moment.

He prides himself on being smart, not to mention strategizing, but he can also take one step and see three steps, but when he encounters such a thing, he is difficult to weigh for a while.

From an early age, he was taught the way of loyalty and righteousness, and he read the books of sages. If loyalty and righteousness are contrary, he can only take one step at a time.

If the day comes when you have to make a choice, it will be easy to solve. In the end, looking up to the sky is worthy of the sky, and bowing down to people is not ashamed, that's all.

"Rong Xun, Zhan Langjun and Mrs. Zhan ask to meet." Someone came to report.

"Please." Rongji nodded.

Soon, Zhan Qirui and his wife were invited in.

"How about Rong Xun's body? I heard that the patrol is sick, so I have come to see him." After Zhan Qirui was led to sit by his subordinates, he asked with concern.

Rong Zhi shook his head, "I occasionally felt the wind and cold, but now it's already good. You're worried."

Zhan Qirui nodded, "Coming here today, in addition to visiting Rong Xun, there is also something to disturb."

"Zhan Lang, please speak."

Zhan Qirui glanced at Meng Kun, Meng Kun glanced around, didn't answer first, but asked suspiciously, "I don't seem to have seen you in the past few days

Mrs. Ning, I remember that a few days ago, Mrs. Ning and Rong Xunji were almost inseparable, why are they not here now?"

Rong Zhi's face was pale, and it was as usual, "In the few days when I went to Hu Mansion, Mrs. Ning was almost sleepless day and night, and even Rong was still like this, she must have been even more tired, so she had a good rest in the past few days, and she never bothered. If there is anything wrong with Meng Niangzi, it is the same with me."

Meng Xun nodded, "Some time ago, I helped Rong Xunzhu look at the official documents and account books, and found something unusual, but unfortunately Rong Xunzhu and Mrs. Ning were not there at that time, so we went back to Xiaqiu a few days ago."

"Shimoka, does it have anything to do with Shimoka?" Rong Zhi was puzzled.

Meng Su nodded, "That's true. After a rough reckoning that day, the concubine had nothing to do, so she went to carefully trace the whereabouts of some of the money, and found one thing, over the years, Zhenyuan has had an annual expenditure that went down the hill. Each time, it was written with the escort tax, silver, and ore. Although the concubine is a female streamer, she is an official eunuch, and she also knows a little about landscape geography, and she transports silver money and minerals from Anxia to Wangjing, in fact, she doesn't have to go down the hill at all. Taking the lower hill, not only did it go around the road, but also the mountain road was rugged, and there were quite a lot of mountain bandits, which was extremely uneasy. If you don't go down the hill, but go straight to Wangjing, then this extra money doesn't have to be extra at all. When it comes to taxes, silver, and iron, the concubine does not dare to despise it."

"You're right. From Anxia to Wangjing, there is no need to take Xiaqiu at all." Rong Zhi's expression was cold.

"That's why we've been on a trip to Xiaqiu these days. Although Zhan is not talented, he has some connections in Xiaqiu, and he quickly found out some clues." Zhan Qirui spoke slowly, he paused, and continued: "After those tax silver carriages arrive in Xiaqiu, they will always have a relationship with a merchant named Hong Huai. The merchant was a well-known wealthy businessman, and he had friendships with many officials in the Xiaqiu officialdom, which was not surprising, and there were customary businessmen in various officialdoms. It's just that this Hong Huai is a slave of the Zhou family. This has to make Zhan think more."

"Actually, the day we went south and encountered bandits, and on the day we were rescued by Mrs. Ning, we also met Hong Huai. We didn't communicate much with him, but we felt that this person was extraordinary, not like an ordinary businessman, and didn't care too much. But Mrs. Ning had a conversation with her. Mrs. Ning has always been smart and transparent, and her mind is above us, if Hong Huai is different, she will definitely see it more clearly than us. Rong Xun may as well go and ask Mrs. Ning." Meng Kun answered.

Rong Zhi's eyes flashed and he nodded, "I know, thank you two for telling me."
