Chapter 238: Seeking Refuge with the Prince
To respect Ji Qirui's words, He Yujin didn't know how many times he had heard it, so he could only respond: "I know."
But after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong, so he said, "Brother Ji, if the prince comes back and knows that you are seriously ill, won't he carry himself over in a sedan chair to see your joke? Maybe he will collude with the Zhao family and do something again."
Now that the prince's party wants to win over the power, Ji Changye's critical illness is an excellent opportunity, not only will the forces that pursue him weaken, but also many people will defect and use them for their use.
Even if Ji Qirui's mind can't think of this, but there is the queen and the entire Xiao family behind him, which is really a threat.
"What you're saying isn't entirely unreasonable. However, I think that during this time, the prince should not dare to make a mistake, and he should also take care of His Majesty. But the prince's party and the Zhao family really have to be on guard. By the way, where is the long wind? I asked him to go to the palace in the morning to find out the news, why is it that the lunch hour has passed, and he has not come back yet?".
Ji Changye was puzzled, and Changfeng and Song Qian walked in together.
Looking at the appearance of the long wind and dust, it should have just come back. But the faint anger on his face made the three of them incomprehensible.
It's okay not to ask, but when I ask Changfeng, I can't bear it, and I tell the news of my inquiry: "This Zhao family's move is really aimed at Song Niangzi and wants to postpone the marriage. It was actually proposed by His Majesty himself, and it must have been instigated by the Zhao family. Lord Wang, we can't sit still here, or we will cancel the marriage contract."
They have worked so hard to match two people, if they cancel the marriage contract, won't all their previous efforts be wasted?
Ji Changye didn't expect His Majesty to make such a simple decision, but at this point, he couldn't stop it, so he could only do this. Although he was unwilling, he was helpless.
Hearing this, Song Qian calmed the angry Changfeng and said, "Why has your temper become more and more unstable in the past few years in Sulou Town? Since it was decided to lure the snake out of the hole by faking illness, it was necessary to know what the consequences were. I don't think it's a good thing for Your Majesty to delay your marriage."
Hearing this, Ji Changye's expression suddenly became anxious, but he was very vague and was not seen.
After realizing that they had misunderstood what they meant, Song Qian hurriedly explained, "I mean, if Zhao Liuyin's purpose is really to break my marriage contract with the prince, now that she has achieved her goal, she will definitely be eager to move on to the next step. Wouldn't we have a chance to get hold of her?"
I see. Ji Changye secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He also thought that Song Qian regretted it, and just wanted to use this to dissolve the marriage contract between the two.
He Yujin immediately echoed Song Qian and said, "What Song Niangzi said is right, this Zhao Liuyin must not be able to hold his breath. When the time comes, catch her and see what else she has to quibble."
"What if she doesn't move? Or is it that they have already sensed our plan and deliberately do not move, and want to turn against our army, what should we do?" Changfeng said uneasily.
"Can't you hope for something good?" He Yujin looked at Changfeng helplessly and said, I really don't know what to say about him.
Changfeng realized it and smiled embarrassedly.
But what he said was right.
But even if it's true as Changfeng said, then Ji Changye has no countermeasures, and all he can do is to stand still.
Suddenly, Ji Changye seemed to think of something, and said, "Zhao Liuyin wants to borrow someone to harm me. Then we can also borrow the hand of others to treat others in their own way."
Song Qian happened to have this idea, so he asked, "What is the prince going to do?" I think this kind of thing, if you find her nemesis, it will be better."
"What do you think of Geng Lanyin?" Ji Changye asked.
The three of them were a little surprised when they heard this name, but thinking that Geng Lanyin and Zhao Liuyin had a deep relationship and hatred, they felt that she was a very suitable candidate. Moreover, the power of the Geng family is no worse than that of the Zhao family, as long as they are behind the scenes, I don't believe that the Geng family will swallow the evil breath before.
However, how to stimulate the contradiction between the two families is another difficult problem.
At a time of loss
, Song Qian thought of an idea: "For an industry as big as the Geng family and the Zhao family, there must be many industrial shops under their names. Even if the fields involved are not related, as long as they come to find trouble in each other's names, they are not afraid of contradictions. Coupled with the previous anger, the Geng family will definitely try their best to deal with the Zhao family."
When doing business in Sulou Town, Song Qian was no stranger to these things, but he didn't expect that one day the intrigue in business could be used for this, but maybe it was really useful.
Listening to her plan, the other three agreed.
So this matter was handed over to He Yujin and Changfeng.
The two of them came to the most luxurious street in Dijing in disguise under Song Qianqian's instructions, after all, there are more shops opened by the big families here.
"Lord Jin, is this trick you made really useful?" Changfeng looked at the big bag of things wrapped in the Zhao family on his body, and he didn't believe it.
Don't plan to succeed, and fold in so much capital.
He Yujin confidently said, "When did I come up with an unreliable idea? Besides, if I go out myself, this matter is already half the battle, so you can trust me."
Listening to his confidence in himself, Changfeng's only choice is to believe, otherwise it will be too late to retreat after it has reached this point.
The two of them carried these things to a grocery store under the name of the Geng family, and turned the things into a small stall.
"Take a look, take a look. Don't miss it when you pass by, it is produced by Zhao's and sold at a low price!" He Yujin shouted hard at the words given to him by Song Qian, and sure enough, as soon as he opened his mouth, he attracted the attention of many people.
Changfeng couldn't let go at first, but gradually let go and joined in the shouting with Yujin.
"Big brother, what kind of rotten craftsmanship do you see this basket you bought at Geng's house? It didn't take two days to get home and it broke down. Look at this in my hand, the authentic ancient pharaonic craft. Not to mention exquisite, the quality is also many times better than the Geng family. The most important thing is that the things of the Zhao family are much cheaper than those of his Geng family." Changfeng grabbed a man who had just come out of Geng's shop and said.
As soon as the man heard that the price was nearly half cheaper, he was immediately shaken, turned around and went back to return the basket, and left happily with the basket recommended by Changfeng.
The people around the onlookers flocked to see this, and the people who came out of the shop couldn't help but stop, and many of them returned the things they bought from the grocery store like the first man, and turned to buy the so-called Zhao family's things recommended by Changfeng and the others.
Soon, the grocery store was surrounded by water.
At first, the shopkeeper of the Geng family's grocery store wondered why these people repented one after another, but finally he found that the two people who were shouting at the door suddenly understood something.
"Where did these two come from? How dare you go wild outside the Geng family's shop?" The shopkeeper said angrily.
Xiao Er, who inquired clearly, said, "These two people are from the Zhao family, and they deliberately put things outside our shop, using very low prices to attract the people, and they are also disrespectful to the Geng family!"
In the entire imperial capital, those surnamed Zhao, and the only ones who dared to openly shout with their Geng family were Zhao Hongzhen and them.
"You stay here, I'll tell the master."
After some consideration, the shopkeeper knew that this matter was difficult for him to deal with, so he had to go back and report to Master Geng.
"The shopkeeper's rest assured."
At this moment, the voice of Changfeng outside became stronger and stronger, all of which were disrespectful to the Geng family, making people feel that the Geng family must have offended the Zhao family, otherwise they would not be treated like this.
Just when Xiao Er was about to go out to catch people. Changfeng and He Yujin actually packed the remaining bits and pieces and left, for fear of being caught and exposing their identities.
But the damage they have done is real.
After this matter was known to Master Geng, he was angry, after all, the Zhao family's blatant provocation this time was too much.
"Dad, Zhao Liuyin, why are they so unreasonable!" Geng Lanyin came directly to Master Geng's study after knowing about this, and she was still pushing herself out as a shield for Zhao Liuyin last time
The matter is lingering, and he swears that he will never let Zhao Liuyin go.
Master Geng couldn't get used to the Zhao family's style, and he was even more reluctant to let his children be wronged, but the background of the Zhao family should not be underestimated, and there was no evidence to prove that Zhao Liuyin was slandering Geng Lanyin, so he could only get by last time. But this time, they directly spread wild on their own territory and didn't put themselves in their eyes, and Master Geng couldn't hold back anymore.
"Don't worry Lan Yin, Dad will definitely avenge you this time, even if the family is bankrupt, Dad won't let them have a good time." Master Geng comforted Geng Lanyin and said.
Geng Lanyin believed him, so he nodded and said, "This time, Dad must teach them a good lesson."
"I'm going to go to His Majesty to see him, tell all the shady deeds of his Zhao family, and see what else his Zhao family is arrogant." Old Man Geng said viciously, which made Geng Lanyin a lot happier.
At the same time, the Zhao family also knew about this matter.
Zhao Hongzhen asked the housekeeper strangely, "When did we send someone to disrupt the Geng family's business?" Did the shopkeepers arrange it, or did you do it? Or is it Ayin?" Why he didn't have any impression at all.
The butler also replied in great confusion, "Master, these shopkeepers under my hands have said that these two people were not sent by them. And I don't know them, could it be that someone wants to pretend to be the Zhao family?"
"If they have nothing to do with the Zhao family, why do they go to the Geng family's door to sell the Zhao family's things? How could anyone do that? So one is that these shopkeepers don't remember what they did. There is also a kind of thing that must have been deliberately slandered by the Geng family." Zhao Hongzhen said firmly after some analysis.
The housekeeper had no way or qualifications to persuade him not to think nonsense, so he could only let him go.
The next day, when the morning dynasty ended, Zhao Hongzhen's former colleagues came to tell Zhao Hongzhen that Master Geng openly participated in his copy to His Majesty in the court, and His Majesty was very angry when he saw the folds.
This made Zhao Hongzhen panic, afraid that Master Geng really knew something, and if he told the emperor, he might lose his head.
So he had to figure out a way.
At this time, Zhao Liuyin got the news and came, and Zhao Hongzhen immediately pointed at her with hatred: "Look at the good things you have done, you have offended so many people, and now someone sincerely slanders the Zhao family, what should I do!"
"Father, don't be angry yet, it's safer for us to discuss." Zhao Liuyin knew that these things were caused by himself, and he didn't refute Zhao Hongzhen's words with some reasons.
"Now only the prince's party can help our Zhao family."
