Chapter 472: Too much deception
Successfully returned to the manor, Xiao Niu and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, since Feng Ang did not make trouble outside the city, it is even more impossible to make trouble when he came to the city, what happened today is really ups and downs, even now they are still a little uncertain, no one thought that this hunting would encounter an ambush, no one thought that the person who set up the ambush was not Feng Ang but Feng Zhixin, since he came to Guangzhou City, whether it was Li Yong or Xiao Niu, the only person on guard was Feng An, and he really didn't put Feng Zhixin in his eyes, But they didn't expect Feng Zhixin to be so bold, and they didn't expect Feng Ang to directly kill Feng Zhixin, and they didn't know how to evaluate Feng Ang for a while, so they could only sigh, it's good to have more sons! Back at the manor, there was no one around, and Lin Ruoxi was worried.
"Feng Ang lost his beloved son, will he plot against Hou Ye?"
Luo Fengxiang was also worried when she heard this, her son died because of this, they felt that this could be regarded as a blood feud, Li Yong shook his head and said.
"No, Feng Ang is a person who puts the overall situation first, for the sake of the Feng family and for Lingnan, he has already given up this son, if he really wants to be unfavorable to me, he will not kill Feng Zhixin today!"
Seeing everyone's solemn faces, Li Yong suddenly smiled and said with a smile.
"You don't have to worry, it wasn't us who killed Feng Zhixin, it was Feng Zhixin who caused a catastrophe by himself, and his crime should be punished!"
Liu Renyuan let out a long breath and nodded.
"That's right, Feng Zhixin gathered so many people to attack and kill Huating Hou, it is no different from rebellion, and his crime should be punished!"
Everyone was also shocked by Feng An's righteous annihilation, now calm down and think about it, Feng Zhixin really deserves to die, the death is not unjust at all, the Grand Governor's Mansion has set up a mourning hall in the side hall, and there is an endless stream of people who come to worship, Feng Ang did not stay in the mourning hall, but in the study, the mourning hall naturally has a steward to take care of, Feng Zhidai, Feng Zhiji, Feng Zhijie also sat in the study, although they frowned and their faces sank like water, but they did not have much sadness, the age gap between them and Feng Zhixin's younger brother was too big, When Feng Zhixin was born, they had already been trained outside, and they had very little time to get along, and they had more than 30 brothers, of course, they were brothers of the same mother who had a deeper relationship, and after their mother died, Feng Zhixin's mother was favored and had been thinking about the family business, it would be strange that they could have a good relationship with Feng Zhixin, if Feng Zhixin was beaten to death for no reason, they would still feel angry and angry, but Feng Zhixin was looking for his own death, so who could blame him? The old man was right, it was Feng Zhixin's mother who killed him, so they didn't take Feng Zhixin's death to heart, what they were most concerned about was the impact of this incident, Feng Zhiyu frowned.
"The eighteenth brother lost his life for this, Li Yong shouldn't still mind, right?"
Feng Ang sighed.
"The house leak happened to rain overnight!"
He didn't expect Feng Zhixin to be so bold just after being taught a lesson, Feng Zhidai groaned.
"There is still a mourning hall in our house, don't you believe that Li Yong is not moved at all?"
As the saying goes, the dead are the greatest, because of Li Yong's arrival, the Feng family has just died of a son, is Li Yong not moved at all? Feng Ang said in a deep voice.
"If this happens, Li Yong is afraid that he really won't stay in Lingnan for a long time, and tomorrow the old man will come to see him to discuss!"
What? The old man wants to come to the door in person? Feng Zhidai hurriedly persuaded.
"Dad, this is Guangzhou City, if you want to see him, you should invite Li Yong over to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, how can there be a reason for Dad to see him?"
Feng Ang groaned.
"What happened, Li Yong must have doubts in his heart, and inviting him to come over will only make him embarrassed, besides, there is still a funeral in the house, it is really inappropriate to invite him to come over, or I should go over to see him!"
Feng Zhidai couldn't persuade him anymore after hearing this, and muttered.
"Dad, why don't I come with you?"
Feng Ang said.
"Good!"
Then Feng Ang turned his head to look at Feng Zhiyu and commanded.
"Since Xin'er has passed away, the marriage proposal will be stopped, and the third child will go to see Cui Zhi, and they will not be dissatisfied."
Feng Zhiyu nodded when he heard this, and suddenly felt that it was really a good thing that this eighteenth brother died, and he could justifiably refuse the marriage of the family, but he didn't have to be afraid of offending the family, Wang Qingyun, Cui Zhi and others came to pay respects, and Feng Zhiyu personally received them.
"The old man is too worried, so I can't come to see you in person, I hope you will forgive me!"
Feng Zhiyu sighed, Wang Qingyun, Cui Zhi and others gave up one after another.
"The festival mourns and changes, and I hope that the old man will take care of his body!"
Feng Zhiyu arched his hand slightly.
"Thank you, Cui Gongzi once mentioned marriage to his father before, and my father was very grateful, but now that my brother died suddenly, I can only live up to Cui Gongzi's good intentions!"
Cui Zhi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, since he understood how unreliable this matter was, he knew that even if Feng Zhixin was not dead, it was impossible for the Feng family to agree to the marriage, but the marriage had already been rumored, if their family wanted to marry the Feng family but was refused, it would be really embarrassing to spread the word, and now that Feng Zhixin is dead, then this marriage will naturally be impossible to talk about, so Cui Zhi and the others suddenly feel that Feng Zhixin died well, and died wonderfully! They shouldn't have proposed to marry Feng Zhixin in the first place, they should have proposed to marry Feng Zhidai's son, but they didn't think of this at the beginning, and it's not good to mention it now, even if they want to mention it, it should be later, otherwise it will be like their family daughter can't get married, the whole Guangzhou city is talking about Feng Zhixin's death, Feng Ang brought people to the manor where Li Yong lived, which really shocked countless people, and the servants in the manor were especially shocked, in fact, since they knew that Feng Zhixin died because of Li Yong, they felt very frightened, Because they are all descendants of the Feng family, and the son of the Feng family died because of Li Yong, can they not be afraid if they are caught in the middle? The maid's trembling report.
"Master Qiqi, the master is here!"
Li Yong listened to this report, and was stunned before reacting, it turned out that Feng Ang came, but he didn't expect Feng Ang to take the initiative to come, thinking that the time spent in Lingnan is not short, it's time to have a result, Li Yong got up and ordered.
"Let's get ready for a feast! Today, I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha to a banquet for the old man! ”
Although this is Feng An's manor, Feng Ang and Feng Zhidai still relied on etiquette, knowing that Li Yong greeted each other before entering the banquet hall, what happened yesterday is not Li Yong's fault, nor Feng An's fault, but Feng Zhixin is dead after all, so the atmosphere between the two is not as eager as it was at the beginning. At least Feng Ang couldn't laugh heartily like before, Feng Ang said earnestly.
"I hope that yesterday's incident will not affect Hua Tinghou's perception of the Feng family!"
It is impossible to say that there is no impact at all, Li Yong said.
"How so? The old country is fair and strict, I admire it very much, the old country is please, today I borrow flowers in your place to thank the old country for his hospitality during this time! ”
Feng Ang and Feng Zhidai sat down, and Feng Ang got straight to the point.
"Don't hide it from Huatinghou, in fact, the old man is very interested in going to sea, and he wants to ask the imperial court to set up a city ship division in Guangzhou City, of course, the matter of going to sea has to start from scratch, it must be very difficult, Huatinghou knows the sea very well, so, our Feng family is also willing to cooperate with Huatinghou, the Feng family's fleet, Huatinghou accounts for sixty percent, we account for forty percent, how?"
Li Yong listened but did not answer, but raised his eyebrows.
"Since the old man is honest with each other today, then I will also put my heart into it."
Feng Ang nodded with a smile.
"That's exactly how it should be!"
Li Yong groaned.
"The gentleman's ze, the fifth generation and beheading, the temple of the Son of Heaven, the seventh generation and the mystery. How long does the old man think the Feng family can prosper? ”
Feng An's face was calm when he heard this, but he was thoughtful, but Feng Zhidai couldn't help but change his face, what did Li Yong mean by this? What does it mean that the Feng family can prosper for a long time? Is this cursing their Feng family? Feng Zhidai couldn't help but say.
"Although there is a saying that the gentleman is Ze and the fifth generation is beheaded, there are also families that have lasted for hundreds of years and are still prosperous!"
Li Yong said with a smile.
"That's right, but the Feng family and the family are different."
When Feng Ang heard Li Yong say this, not only did he not get angry, but asked more interestedly.
"I don't know what Huating Hou has?"
Li Yong groaned.
"It's true that the family has lasted for hundreds of years, but their foothold is not power, which is the biggest difference from your Feng family."
Feng Zhidai's eyes couldn't help but narrow when he heard this, could it be that Li Yong wanted to persuade them that the Feng family would give up the power of Lingnan? This made their Feng family let go of the power of Lingnan with words, Li Yong and the emperor are too whimsical, right? Of course, the change in Feng Zhidai's expression couldn't escape Li Yong's eyes, and he groaned.
"I went south to Jiangnan, and I didn't take any other tasks with me, just chatting, the Feng family is now popular in Lingnan, why? Because of Mrs. Xian's kindness, because the Feng family protects the people in troubled times, but after two generations, how many people can still remember the kindness of the Feng family? Can the descendants of the old man still have the ability and virtue of the old man? In addition, the imperial court will not give up its infiltration of Lingnan, Lingnan itself is fierce and does not accept indoctrination, those bureaucrats who live in the deep mountains and old forests often cause wars, and the power of the Feng family in Lingnan will also be coveted by other families. ”
The more Feng Zhidai listened, the more his face was not good-looking, Feng An's face did not change much, in fact, what Li Yong said, he didn't consider it in his heart, Feng Ang said sincerely.
"So judging from the Marquis of Yihua Pavilion, how many years can our Feng family prosper?"
"It won't be more than a hundred years!"
Li Yong said with a smile, Feng An's face remained unchanged when he heard this, but Feng Zhidai's face changed greatly and he lost his voice.
"A hundred years? Hua Tinghou's words are alarmist! Li Yong smiled slightly: "Is it alarmist? In fact, when I say a hundred years, I am kind words! ”
Feng Zhidai almost didn't vomit blood when he heard it, do you say a hundred years or a kind word? Why don't you say that the Feng Family Mansion will fall? Excessively! It's just too much! Feng Zhidai said dissatisfied.
"A hundred years or more? Why don't you say that our Feng family will be finished soon? ”
Feng Ang waved his hand to signal Feng Zhi to keep his mouth shut, and still asked calmly.
"What if you don't say kind words? Although Hua Tinghou said openly, I Feng Ang still have this bit of open-mindedness, in fact, the old man has also been thinking about this problem. ”
Li Yong shrugged slightly.
"Fifty years! In fact, after the death of the old Guogong, it will be a great test for the Feng family, without the prestige of the old Guogong, the influence and control of the Feng family in Lingnan will gradually weaken, the Feng family is not the king of Lingnan after all, the name is not good, and now it is just relying on the prestige of the old Guogong! ”
Feng Zhidai was unconvinced when he heard this, of course he came to inherit the family business when the old man died, and he thought that he would lose the family business when he heard Li Yong. Feng Ang sighed.
"The second is calm, the third is wise, the fourth is brave, and the third son of the old man is not a mediocre talent, but after all, they have not experienced the tempering of troubled times, and it is true that the old man is not deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is not as good as the old man to serve the public."
Feng Zhidai listened to what he wanted to say and stopped, although he was confident that he could keep the family business, but the old man said that he was not as good as the old man to serve the public, and he couldn't refute it, Li Yong muttered.
"The current Feng family is based on power and control over Lingnan, but opening the sea can give the Feng family another pillar, no, to be exact, the opening of the sea is a pillar for the entire Lingnan, and the Feng family has the right to speak and influence in Lingnan's going to sea, the benefits to the Feng family are self-evident, and the court is not afraid of this."
Feng Ang nodded slightly when he heard this, this is also the reason why he would rather give up his marriage with the family than cooperate with Li Yong to open the sea, Li Yong said with a smile.
"In fact, it is the same for me wherever I open the sea, of course, it is also good for me to cooperate with the Feng family, otherwise I would not come to Lingnan, even if I don't cooperate with the Feng family, I am nothing more than a few years later, and I will go to sea when I have saved enough sea ships, but for the Feng family, it is a pity to miss this opportunity!"
Feng Zhidai said.
"If you go to sea a few years later, then Huatinghou will already be left behind, although it is only a few years, but can Huatinghou afford to wait?"
Li Yong smiled slightly.
"I can afford to wait! Do you think it's that easy to go to sea? If you don't know the sea route, you can't find a sea route for three or five years! ”
Li Yong suddenly flickered, Feng Zhidai couldn't help but be speechless when he heard it, the sea is vast, if you don't know the sea route, you are like a headless fly, then it is really not easy to find out the sea route, in fact, Li Yong said so much, Feng Ang understood what it meant, it was nothing more than wanting to make a request, Feng Ang asked seriously.
"I don't know what Hua Tinghou wants?"
Li Yong slowly stretched out two fingers and said calmly.
"I'm going to get eighty percent!"
Eighty percent?
"What? Probably? ”
Feng Zhidai jumped up directly when he heard this, and letting out sixty percent was already the bottom limit of their Feng family, Li Yong actually opened his mouth eighty percent, even if the lion opened his mouth widely, it couldn't be so big, even if the sky-high asking price was not this method, it was simply too deceitful!
