Chapter 404: An Unchangeable Fate
"The last time I left, I asked my brother to investigate Agarwood Hall, Tianbao Pavilion and Hong Sifang, I wonder if there is any follow?"
Kong Wenshun's expression became slightly embarrassed, because he had arranged for someone to investigate this matter, but until now he has not sent back any useful news.
"There's no need to bother my brother about this, because I've already found out." Su Shi said casually, "The Agarwood Hall was opened by the Hu people, and the boss behind the Tianbao Pavilion is a person from the Western Regions. As for Hong Sifang, although I don't know who is behind the scenes, it should be a foreigner, and they have been secretly communicating with each other. ”
Kong Wenshun suddenly asked, "Why is the little brother so interested in these three stores?" ”
"Because these three stores are all cheating, and the methods are exactly the same."
Kong Wenshun's face suddenly became extremely ugly, because although Yang Wenshu's investigation did not bring back useful news, he also knew that these three shops absorbed a lot of money in the capital, and most of it was the hard-earned money of the people, or even all of their net worth.
Now Su Shi said that this was a scam, and the people's net worth would be lost. What's more, the people behind the scenes turned out to be foreigners, Kong Wenshun immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
Although he and Su Shi seemed to be opposites, Kong Wenshun did not doubt Su Shi's words at all.
"Since the little brother has long known that this is a scam, I believe there must be a way to stop it."
Su Shi said casually: "As long as the money is still in the capital, I have a way to deal with them." ”
Hearing Su Shi's words, Kong Wenshun immediately raised his glass and said sincerely: "I salute my little brother with a cup." ”
Su Shi raised his wine glass, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, because he knew that his next words would definitely be unacceptable to Kong Wenshun.
After the two drank together, Su Shi slowly put down the wine glass, looking at Kong Wenshun's eyes with a hint of helplessness.
"Do you know why I knew it was a hoax at a glance?"
"Why?"
"Because I've seen this kind of scam before. Many people are destitute and even in debt and their families are ruined because of this scam. ”
Kong Wenshun looked a little surprised: "Little brother has seen this kind of scam before? Then he frowned again, "Why haven't I ever heard of it?" ”
Su Chang sighed: "I believe that apart from me, only Pei Hyun has seen this kind of scam in this world." ”
Then his eyes were fixed on Kong Wenshun: "And besides me, only Pei Hyun will know how to use this kind of scam to deceive." ”
The wine glass fell from Kong Wenshun's fingertips and fell silently on the grass. As the glass fell, his face turned pale.
"Impossible, Master Confucius would never be able to do such a thing?"
Kong Wenshun stood up violently, his fists clenched, his eyes were scarlet, and his eyes seemed to want to devour Su Shi.
Su Shi's expression did not change, he just shook his head slightly.
"I can't think of anyone other than Bae Hyun who would know about such a deception."
Kong Wenshun lost his previous open-mindedness and tolerance, and shouted in a low voice again: "Master Pei will never be able to do such a thing!" ”
"Believe me, this scam was definitely planned by Bae Hyun." Su Shi said without hesitation, "And this is also part of his plan." ”
The two looked at each other for a long time, Kong Wenshun suddenly sat down, and then picked up the wine jug on the table and poured it down violently.
At this time, for Kong Wenshun, there is no better way than to get drunk.
However, Su Shi didn't want him to get drunk yet, and when Kong Wenshun was choked by the wine and tears flowed out, Su Shi reached out and took the wine jug in his hand.
At this time, Kong Wenshun seemed to have turned into a walking corpse, and his mouth kept muttering to himself.
"Why did he collude with foreigners to harm his own people?"
Because he also knew that if Daqian was not in the midst of internal and external troubles, his goal would not have been achieved at all. Just like the Three Kings Rebellion twenty years ago, no matter how high Pei Hyun's strategy is, if Daqian only has internal strife and no external troubles, Daqian can still regain his vitality after the chaos. ”
Su Shi's eyes suddenly became extremely cold: "So this time, Pei Xun not only wants to use the battle for the throne to cause internal strife in Daqian, but also colludes with foreign clans, the purpose is to destroy Daqian." ”
Hearing Su Shi mention the Three Kings Rebellion twenty years ago, Kong Wenshun's originally pale face suddenly had a trace of blood.
He cheered up and said, "Master Pei did participate in the Three Kings Rebellion, but it was not what you imagined. ”
Su Shi didn't speak, because he didn't believe Kong Wenshun's words.
Kong Wenshun also seemed to know that his words were not convincing, he was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "Do you remember what I once said to you?" ”
"What?"
"Pei Shi once said that even the person who left his name in the history books could not change his fate."
Su Shi nodded, his eyes suddenly becoming a little lonely. Because he remembered Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi's name must be in the history books, but his fate seems to be impossible to change even when Su Shi.
At this time, Kong Wenshun's voice sounded in Su Shi's ears again: "The reason why Pei Shi said this is because he once wanted to change the fate of the person who left his name in the history books, but no matter how hard Pei Shi tried, this person's ending remained the same. ”
Su Shi was shocked and looked at Kong Wenshun in disbelief, because he didn't expect that Pei Hyun would actually want to change the fate of the person who left his name in the history books, and he didn't succeed.
"Who is this person who Bae Hyun wants to change his life for him? Why did he want to help him change his life? ”
"Zhou Lin, the king of Chu, is the third son of the first emperor. Later, he was imprisoned and died in prison because of forced palace. ”
Su Shi stood up abruptly and looked at Kong Wenshun in shock. After a long time, he still couldn't believe it and asked, "You mean that Pei Xun once assisted Zhou Lin?" ”
"Yes."
"Why?"
"Because at that time, the third prince was the best choice."
Su Shi still didn't understand: "Since he already knows history, why doesn't he assist His Majesty, but choose another path?" ”
Kong Wenshun sighed: "It is precisely because Master Pei knows that he will choose to assist the third prince." ”
Su Shi finally understood what he meant.
Assisting Zhou Yi to ascend the throne, history has not changed, so the history after the Great Cadre will naturally develop as recorded in the history books. But if he can assist the third prince to ascend to the throne, the history of Daqian will naturally change in his hands.
However, what Su Shi couldn't figure out was that Pei Hyun could be regarded as a person who knew the past and the future, and he himself was unparalleled in his wisdom, so he still couldn't change Zhou Lin's fate.
Could it be that the person who left his name in the history books really couldn't escape his fate?
When Su Shi was shocked, Kong Wenshun's voice sounded again.
"After the Rebellion of the Three Kings, Pei Shi once reviewed. In the process of reviewing, Pei Shi faintly felt as if there was an invisible hand controlling all this. ”
