Chapter 149: The Storm is Coming

Shuo Fang's arson case was so bizarre that after the day was dispersed, the ministers returned to the palace and told their families about it as an anecdote. When the family heard about it, they discussed it with the people around them. When the maids and servants heard this, they were also amazed, and when they went to the street on an errand, they gossiped with acquaintances and exaggerated the matter. As a result, more and more people know.

Chang'an is the capital, the people of Li are rich, rich and free, so they love gossip, but all the strange and strange things, in less than half a day, will be like a wild wind sweeping through every corner of the city. Returning from prison and going thousands of miles to die, such bizarre things quickly spread throughout Chang'an City and became a hot topic of discussion on the streets. There were also anxious people who ran to the door of the Tingwei Mansion to inquire about the news, and were scolded by the doorman of the Tingwei Mansion and driven out.

The doormen of the Tingwei Mansion were an old man and a young man, and the two of them had just heard about the Shuo Fang arson case. From time to time, someone came to inquire about the news of the ten prisoners in Shuofang, and the young doorman was pestered impatiently, waving a wooden mulberry to drive away those passers-by who were probing their brains.

The elder janitor stood on the steps, smiling and watching him go about his work. The young doorman returned to the door, put his hands on the wooden mullions, tilted his head and thought for a while, and said: "Those Shuofang prisoners traveled thousands of miles, and they came to the Tingwei Mansion to bring them to justice, if they were sentenced to death, would they be unjust." โ€

"Yes, you can run or not, isn't it wronged." The elder doorman answered.

"If someone doesn't come that day, then the county jailer who was imprisoned will be unlucky." The young doorman felt incredible, and held the wooden mullion and "tuk-tuk" pestle on the steps a few times.

"Huh." The elder doorman laughed dryly. He served in the Tingwei Mansion for more than ten years, and he saw many lives and deaths. However, this is the first time I have encountered the act of arson. "One thought." He muttered in his heart, and he was also looking forward to the suspense being revealed on September 15.

After Huo Yu, Huo Shan, and Huo Yunsan returned to Huo Mansion together, they went straight to the inner room of the backyard. The three of them sat around a desk, he looked at me, I looked at you, and the atmosphere in the room was dull.

Huo Yu broke the silence and said with a wry smile: "The ten prisoners of Shuofang have been revealed to the world. Chun Yuji's life experience will be known sooner or later, and if we want to hide it again, I'm afraid we won't be able to. โ€

Huo Yun said angrily: "This bastard Min Shitong is making trouble at this time. As he spoke, he stood up and paced back and forth irritably.

Huo Yu frowned, pondered for a long time, and said, "Call Feng Zidu here to discuss together, right?" Huo Shan nodded again and again. Huo Yu shouted loudly outside the house: "Come on, go and invite Feng Gongzi." โ€

Not long after, Feng Zidu hurried over. As soon as he sat down, Huo Shan told him about today's court events.

Feng Zidu's expression was flat, and he said, "I have also heard about this. Shuo Fang's imprisonment has now spread widely, and people all over the city said that they must go to the Tingwei Mansion that day, a few people came, a few people ran away, and it is said that the gambling game in the nine cities also opened the odds. โ€

Huo Yun was surprised: "It's such an exaggeration, then I'll also make a bet." Huo Yu turned his head and glared at him fiercely, he pursed his lips, and after sitting down, he stopped talking.

Feng Zidu asked, "How did the emperor say it when he heard it?" โ€

Huo Yu thought about it for a while and said, "The emperor, Wei Xiang, and Shi Gao all know about Shuofang's ten prisoners. When Min Shitong said that Shuo Fang was imprisoned, I seemed surprised to see their expressions. I originally thought that Min Shitong would mention the ten prisoners of Shuo Fang above the court, and they would mention Chun Yu Ji by the way, embarrassing our Huo family. Without thinking, the emperor said nothing. โ€

"He had a plan in mind, so he didn't have to say anything." Feng Zidu snorted softly.

"The emperor wants to capture the old man?" Huo Shan gasped.

"What do you want to capture, he has been belittleing our Huo family, and he wants to get rid of it as soon as possible. It's just that the Huo family tree has deep roots, so it's just that he can't bear it for the time being. Huo Yun glanced at him disdainfully.

Huo Shan's face was embarrassed: "Are we just waiting to be captured?" โ€

"According to what you are doing now, aren't you just waiting to be caught?" Huo Yun said angrily.

Huo Yu had no opinion in his heart, and his face was sad. At this time, there was a thunderclap outside the house, and he leaned out and looked out, stunned, and said, "How can there be thunder in good weather." โ€

Before the words fell, a strong wind suddenly rose, and a large dark cloud gushed out out of nowhere, and the sky suddenly darkened. He couldn't help but panic, as if he felt a little cold, clasped his hands on his chest, and looked back at Feng Zidu, his eyes full of helplessness.

Feng Zi ignored him and muttered, "The wind and rain are coming." Everyone's faces changed suddenly, and they all looked out of the house, only to see dead leaves and dust flying, gray, and the sound of the wind in their ears.

I don't know how long it took, but the wind became softer and softer, and gradually, the wind stopped and the sky brightened. Huo Yun jumped up, ran to the door, looked up at the sky, turned around, full of joy, and said, "Okay, the sky is clear." โ€

Huo Yu breathed a long sigh of relief, he also wondered how he could care so much about the change in the weather, shook his head slightly, and secretly thought in his heart, "Relatives are chaotic." โ€

Feng Zidu also glanced out, a look of surprise flashed across his face, and he quickly regained his composure, and said lightly: "There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky. โ€

Huo Yu was in a good mood at this time, and said with a smile: "Fortune and misfortune seem to be acceptable." โ€

The corners of Feng Zidu's mouth rose slightly, but he didn't speak.

Huo Yu didn't care. Huo Yun looked awkward, feeling that Feng Zidu was still so pretentious, he was dissatisfied in his heart, and it was not easy to attack, so he responded: "Fortune and misfortune should be spent on oneself." Then regardless of Feng Zidu, he said to Huo Yu: "We can't wait for others to come to the door, we should also take action." I think that in the current court, that Wei Xiang has become a confidant. โ€

Huo Shan couldn't help but say: "Min Shitong may be behind him." At the beginning, we tried to kill Zhao Guanghan to kill Wei Xiang, but it was Zhao Guanghan who never wanted to die. Of course, Zhao Guanghan is dead and has nothing to do with us. However, this Wei Xiang became more and more rampant, and he instigated the emperor to abolish the deputy seal before, and now he instigated the emperor to seize our military power. If this person is not removed, the Huo family will have no peace. โ€

Huo Yu nodded approvingly, and said: "He once secretly played the emperor, saying that our Huo family was arrogant and indulgent, and what did he say, 'It is advisable to seize his power with damage, break up the conspiracy, and consolidate the foundation of the world, and the world of all meritorious heroes'." โ€

Huo Yun sneered: "The world of all meritorious heroes? It seems that it is still for the sake of our Huo family. โ€

Huo Yu turned sideways and asked Feng Zidu, "What is Feng Jun's opinion?" โ€

Feng Zidu said: "At present, the emperor relies on his right-hand man, the inner dynasty is Shi Gao, and the outer dynasty is the prime minister Wei Xiang. These two people have always had a dislike with our Huo family. Shi Gao is favored by his relatives, although he is a close minister, in fact, he is just a reckless man, so there is nothing to worry about. โ€

Huo Yun didn't wait for him to finish, gritted his teeth and said: "If you kill Wei Xiang, the court will be chaotic, and only by chaos can we win in chaos." โ€

Feng Zidu's speech was interrupted by him, and he was unhappy in his heart, so he kept silent.

Huo Shan pondered for a while in his heart and said, "Today is September 13th, and there are still two days left, and the ten prisoners of Shuofang will be brought to the Tingwei Mansion to be brought to justice. If you want to do it, it's tonight.

Huo Yun clenched his right hand into a fist and smacked the case, and said, "As soon as Wei Xiang dies, the court will be in chaos, and no one cares about the ten prisoners of Shuofang." When the ten prisoners of Shuofang came to Chang'an, they were asking for their own death. As he spoke, his gaze turned to Huo Yu.

Huo Yu hurriedly nodded and said, "Very good." Ever since he knew that his mother had poisoned Xu Pingjun, he had been haunting the name Chun Yuji in his mind. However, many means were used to eliminate the hidden danger of Chun Yuji, which made him look in a trance, and he only wanted to deal with the ten prisoners of Shuo Fang as soon as possible, so that Chun Yuji would no longer threaten the safety of the Huo family. As for the method, he had no intention of asking.

He just said "very good", and suddenly remembered that Feng Zidu's opinion should be consulted, so he faced Feng Zidu, squeezed out a sneer, and asked, "What does Feng Jun have to say?" โ€

A smile appeared on Feng Zidu's face, and he said lightly: "Very good." As he spoke, he stood up and bent down slightly, then walked towards the door, and when he arrived at the door, he vaguely heard Huo Yun ask Huo Shan: "How are things in the palace?" Huo Shan replied: "It's done." โ€

"Something in the palace?" Feng Zidu's heart moved, and he was about to turn around, but he thought again, why bother to be bored. He sighed softly and walked on his own.

Huo Yun glanced at the door and said, "This person is self-righteous. Huo Shan echoed and laughed a few times.

Huo Yu asked eagerly, "You mean that you have already obtained the Tiger Talisman." Huo Yun nodded. Huo Yu smiled bitterly: "There is one more crime." โ€

Huo Yunman didn't care: "It's already like this, what if there is one more or less." โ€

Huo Shan saw that Huo Yu was frowning, and comforted: "I made a fake replacement piece, and I won't be able to find it for a while." The Huo family no longer has military power, so we have to do this, once the matter is urgent, we can mobilize the forbidden army. โ€

Huo Yu's lips moved, and he came over for a while before he spoke: "It will be found after all." โ€

Huo Yun sneered: "Once the time is ripe, we will enter the palace to force the Empress Dowager to issue an edict to depose Liu Ai, at that time, everything is up to us, and there is nothing to find out." โ€

Huo Yu seemed helpless, his eyes were dull, and he stared out the door.

Huo Yun and Huo Shan stood up, and Huo Yun said, "Let's go." Huo Yu didn't seem to hear it. Huo Yun raised his voice and said again, "Let's go." Huo Yu woke up in shock, turned his face to look at the two of them, and nodded.
