Chapter 242; The honest man is angry
"It's just a country girl, even if you have holy graces?"
"Can she still have a higher status in His Majesty's heart than our family?"
The woman opened her mouth in disgruntle.
For the county lord of Zhaode, he really doesn't like it in his heart.
Although he knew that she was unparalleled, he was only afraid of the emperor, not the lord of Zhaode himself.
In fact, this is not just her idea, almost all of these slightly high-grade nobles in the capital have this opinion.
I think that if it weren't for the emperor's favor, what would she be a girl who grew up in the countryside?
What about even the third lady of the Ji Guo Mansion?
For this sense of superiority of theirs, it's just a fascination.
Among these founding nobles of the Yu Dynasty, in fact, a large part of them belong to the poor family or the emerging family with no inheritance.
Even the Shen family of the Zhao State Mansion did not have a long time to develop, that is, when there was an official in the previous dynasty, he changed his family.
To put it bluntly, most of these races, especially the people in the Guanzhong Group, are similar to the Shen family, and some of them were originally ordinary families, but because it was a troubled time at that time, they followed the right people and had today's status.
In the past few years, their situation was not as good as Huo Junyao's, and I don't know why they had the confidence to look down on Huo Junyao.
Maybe it's because after the fish jumped into the dragon gate, a kind of contempt or evasion of their original identity made them have a disgusting contempt for Huo Junyao.
Or maybe it's out of sheer jealousy.
Thinking about how many hard contributions these people have made for the world of the Yu Dynasty, they have to fight with their lives to get their current status.
Why did you have a girl's family and didn't do anything, relying on the emperor's guilt and grace, you climbed to the high position you are now?
I was a little unconvinced, thinking that this was just a nouveau riche, and it was not at the same level as their great achievements and nobles who helped the Yu Dynasty to open the country.
"You"
"In the eyes of a woman, the hair is long and the knowledge is short."
Shen Huan knew his wife's thoughts in his heart.
To put it bluntly, I just feel that I am a descendant, and I am a little fluttering.
Completely ignoring the fact that this descendant clan has brought them a good status, but this status is also very sensitive and embarrassing.
"No matter what method you use, the old man can deal with the things you have done, don't leave any tails, and those who are involved in this matter, you don't have to contact them, just stay at home honestly recently."
"If you dare to go out, see if the old man doesn't break your legs."
Putting away the whip, Shen Huan snorted coldly and walked away.
"Son, don't be afraid, your father is cowardly."
"Come on, come on, ask the doctor to come and treat my son's injuries."
"Xiaochan, are all the things I asked you to prepare before?"
At night, Huo Junyao returned to her small courtyard in the Eldest Princess's Mansion.
"It's ready, and it's all been sent to Zhuangzi."
"It's just Miss, why are you buying these things?"
On the second day of the assassination, Huo Junyao asked her to arrange for someone to buy sulfur, saltpeter and charcoal.
"Since you dare to arrange for someone to kill me, then I naturally have to let them know what fear is."
All along, her main goal has been to grow slowly.
Although there was a lot of movement, in the final analysis, these movements were just forced counterattacks, or forced counterattacks.
The crown prince is, Zhao Yan'er is, even if he is the prince of Wu Guogong, this is the case.
She didn't take the initiative to provoke anyone.
Even when doing business, she is cautious and does not dare to make any big moves.
The slightly larger paper business has also been carefully planned to ensure that even if he will offend people, it will not make people hate him to the core.
It is true that in the matter of the Duke of Wu's mansion, there are indeed some offended people, but there is also the calculation of Emperor Zhaowu in this.
And she also understood that even if Wu Guogong had a grudge against her, he would never take the initiative to take risks with his wealth because he wanted to take a breath.
Although it may seem dangerous, it is actually not like that at all.
Some later developments also confirmed her idea, after Wu Guogong was dismissed, there was no action at all.
Besides, although she was the one who proposed it, it was just a small talk with the old lady at the time, and no matter how much this thing tried to stop it, it shouldn't all be counted on her head, right?
Well, the result?
These people didn't dare to go to the emperor, but took her life as a warning.
For a person who only wants to develop, this is definitely touching her scales.
Since you want to play, then she should also have a good time, she wants to see if your cold weapons are strong or those hot weapons in her head.
This Yu Dynasty doesn't want to be like those martial arts, there are any internal skills and other things.
Although there are martial arts and the like, they are mostly the gap in skill or personal bravery.
She still doesn't believe it, you are personally brave, can you still withstand the gunpowder bomb?
Faced with death threats, she also realized that she needed to prepare something to protect herself.
Black powder was definitely the easiest thing she could get her hands on at the moment, and it was also the best thing to get her hands on.
The science and engineering boss is not just talking, although he has not done these in his previous life, but there are still some theories in this part, and it is not a big problem to experiment with it.
No, she has already planned it, and when she gets things out and finds the people behind the scenes, then let them feel what fear is.
At the same time, it also allows those who secretly have bad intentions to see the deadly anger that comes from the honest people of later generations.
The next day, Huo Junyao left the capital early in the morning with a large group of people.
When she arrived at the Hot Spring Villa, she first went to the mourning hall arranged by Xiaohuangzhuang, bowed to the fifty guards, and appeased her family, she immediately returned to the Hot Spring Villa and began to study black powder.
"Xiaochan, you let people go to the capital to report the news, I want to stay here in the hot spring villa for a few days, let my father investigate who are involved first, don't rush to do it first, everything will wait for me to return to the capital."
"Also, go get me some little clay pots."
Xiaochan was ordered to retreat.
After a short time, the people arrived at the eldest princess's mansion.
"Why do you have to stay there for a few more days, how dangerous it is."
"You don't have to worry, isn't the Shence Army still over there, and the last incident was so big, I believe those guys don't dare to act rashly."
"I'm even more puzzled, why did she just ask me to investigate first, but not in a hurry?"
Huo Jingzhi was a little confused, according to his idea, he was to investigate first, and then go directly to the court.
And he has already started to investigate, and has found the tails of several houses so far.
