A knife in love

Chapter 287

Li Qiufeng shook his head when he heard this.Mrs. Sha said: "Young Master Li, you have also noticed something is wrong."

Li Qiufeng said: "I have been in contact with this Zhuang Yulou. This person looks honest and dull, but he is scheming, and he is best at killing people with a knife. In the past when he launched the battle of presenting the royal tomb, many heroes in the world were seduced and incited by this person. Destroyed in Anluzhou, Huguang. The old master Fang can control the Fang clan, so he is quite knowledgeable and far-sighted, so how can he be bewitched by this person?"

Mrs. Sha sighed, and said: "When I was a child, I once read a book called "Pingzhai Anthology", which was written by a person named Hong Zikui in the Song Dynasty. I still remember a few sentences in it: There is a long way to go, and there is a long way to go. If you are not discouraged, you will be big, and if you have no desires, you will be strong. Without desires, you will be strong. I don’t know how many heroes in the world have been stumped. The patriarch, the old man, often teaches the young people of the Fang clan to be dedicated to the public and not to care about small gains. In fact, he is the most Greedy. He and the people in his room have the final say on the big and small matters in the clan, and the people in the other houses are slaves. Women like us are even worse than dogs and pigs in his eyes, but he uses them It's just a tool to make friends with the powerful. His desires are too much and too big, so he was fooled by others, and the Fang family was almost wiped out..."

"Family extermination?" Murong Danyan said tremblingly, "Could it be that sister, your family has already..."

She didn't dare to say any more.Mrs. Sha gave a wry smile, and said: "Although the Fang family did not exterminate their clan, their fate was extremely miserable. After Zhuang Yulou finished speaking, although the old patriarch did not speak, the uncle immediately stood up and said to Zhuang Yulou:' Lord Zhuang please show me." The fourth uncle also nodded repeatedly. Zhuang Yulou smiled slightly and said: "Old Master Fang, I know that the Fang family secretly raises a group of dead soldiers. They are not only strong in martial arts, but also have been trained for a long time. Now is the time for them to contribute their efforts. Grandpa Fang, please send the powerful masters of the Fang family to bring this group of dead soldiers and heroes from various gangs to Anluzhou, Huguang, to contribute to the imperial court."

"At that time, I was lying on the roof of the ancestral hall, and I didn't even dare to breathe. I heard that Zhuang Yulou said that the Fang family raised a group of dead soldiers, and I couldn't help being shocked. I thought to myself that although the whole family of our Fang family knew martial arts, but I have never had any disputes with outsiders. As for dead men and the like, I have been to every house in this mansion except this ancestral hall, but I have never seen any suspicious people.

"I was thinking about it, but I heard the patriarch's old man smile wryly, and said: "For more than a hundred years, the Fang family has been cautious and trembling, just wanting to survive in the world. The patriarchs of all generations are worried about Zhong Zhong, for fear of the disaster of exterminating the clan. Prepared. Unexpectedly, I thought I was careful, but everything was still under the control of the court.'

"I was shocked when I heard the patriarch and the old man admit it. But Zhuang Yulou said with a smile: 'You can rest assured, Mr. Fang. If the imperial court wants to destroy the Fang family, how can they allow the Fang family to stay to this day? I You can reveal some more information to Mrs. Fang. Since the founding of the Taizu, no one from Beijing officials to local officials has been under the supervision of the court. As for the famous sects and aristocrats in the world, there are spies from the Jinyiwei. Although the Fang family is The same family lives together, hehe, but it is not monolithic. Mrs. Fang, as long as the errands in Anlu Prefecture are done well this time, your two eldest grandsons can be officials. At that time, everyone will be in the officialdom and take care of each other , the Fang family no longer has to worry about court suspicion, and the prosperity and wealth of future generations are at your fingertips.'

"As soon as he finished speaking, the uncle said to the patriarch and old man: "Grandpa, Mr. Zhuang is right, we can't just sit and wait for death! Over the past hundred years, the Fang family has been hiding in Tibet, and they are still in fear. The whole family in Jiangxi is destroyed, it is a bloody one." lesson!'

"After the uncle finished speaking, no one spoke in the ancestral hall, and it was eerily quiet. After a long time, the patriarch old man sighed and said: 'Since this is the case, I will obey the orders of Xu Gonggong and Master Zhuang.' Then Zhuang Yulou clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Old Master Fang is indeed straightforward. I will go to Hengshan for a while, and then return to the capital to report these matters to Eunuch Xu. If Mrs. Fang is in a hurry, I can send a reliable person to Wan'an Tea in the capital." Fang, just say to find a high-ranking official to do things, and the boss will take you to meet the person who is the owner of the East Factory.'

"I heard several people discussing secretly in the ancestral hall for a long time, and then Zhuang Yulou and the thin man left. The eldest uncle and the fourth uncle sent the two of them away, and the patriarch, the old man, stayed in the ancestral hall alone. Looking down through the gap, I saw him sitting upright on a chair with an uncertain expression, obviously thinking about something.

"After a long time, the uncle and the fourth uncle quietly returned to the ancestral hall. The uncle said to the old patriarch, "Grandpa, the surname Zhuang has left." The old patriarch snorted and said, "Eunuch Xu wants us to go." He worked hard for him and drew a big cake for us. This dead eunuch really treats us like children!" The uncle smiled and said, "Grandpa, did I act like that just now?" Patriarch The old man said: "This Zhuang Yulou is extremely cunning. I have heard of his name a long time ago, and I have sent someone to check his details. You just said that, this kid must not suspect him, and thought you and the fourth child Li Lu is obsessed with his heart, and he wants to contribute to the imperial court and fight for the future of his wife and son.'

"I lay on the roof, and my heart was full of doubts. Unexpectedly, the patriarch's old man was so scheming, and he played a big gun in front of that Zhuang Yulou. It's just that the patriarch's old man is always cautious, why did he play tricks in front of the people in Dongchang? When I was thinking, Only the fourth uncle said: "Grandpa, what should we do next?" The old patriarch said: "Our treasure can't be bet on Dongchang. Jinyiwei can't relax either. The girl in the sixth room is for the Ma family." Young Master Xuxian, at least the friendship between our two families has not been broken. I have already sent someone to the Ma family in the capital, and I just returned with a message three days ago. The Ma family said that if the vassal king gains power, he will definitely reuse the old man from the vassal mansion. Now the officials who hold the power of Dongchang and Jinyiwei must lose their power, so the chief eunuch of Dongchang and the governor of Jinyiwei North Town must try their best to protect the current emperor. However, Dongchang and Jinyiwei are not monolithic. Some lower-level officials and low-level eunuchs want to In his early days, he has made friends with the vassal kings from all over the world. I only hope that these vassal kings can ascend to the throne of God, and they can transform themselves into officials and ranks. We must go to Anlu Prefecture.'

"After the patriarch and the old man finished speaking, the uncle said: 'Grandpa, we have only trained more than [-] dead soldiers. These people are our last reliance. If all of them are sent to Anlu Prefecture, if there is any loss, the Fang family will definitely be strong. Big injury, when the time comes...'

"As soon as he finished speaking, the patriarch and old man waved his hand at him and said, "There is no need to worry about this. Although the kid surnamed Zhuang found out that we raised dead soldiers, he didn't know who these people were. Among the whole clan, Only the two of you and I know the list of these 30 people. Although the spies hiding in the Fang family know that we are raising dead men, they don't know who these people are. I have already prepared and selected in the family We recruited 30 people and asked them to go to Anlu Prefecture to do errands instead of the dead. If things go well, we will naturally reap the benefits. If the errands go wrong, we have nothing to lose.

"I heard the patriarch's old man say this, and I thought to myself: The old man is really cunning. Zhuang Yulou thought he could play the old man in the palm of his hand, but he didn't expect the old man to be a master of chess, and he was already prepared. Then the uncle said "Just send these people from the tribe, so they won't be suspicious?" The old patriarch sneered and said, "No. Although these people are all tribesmen from other houses, as long as they are promised to benefit them, they will naturally not be suspicious."

"I heard their grandfather and grandson discuss the list of clan members to be dispatched to work. They mentioned 29 people in a row, and none of them belonged to the patriarch's old man. Finally, the fourth uncle said: 'The leader must be selected. It’s better to be steady.” The old patriarch smiled slightly and said, “I’ve already chosen someone. Fang Yu from the sixth room is steady in his work and good at martial arts. It’s best to let him take the lead.”

"My heart was shocked. Fang Yu was my father's name. I didn't expect the patriarch and the old man to plot against him. I just heard the uncle say: "Grandpa, Fang Yu's eldest daughter will renew the son of the Ma family. If Fang Yu makes a mistake I'm afraid that girl will tell stories in front of Mr. Ma's family, and it may be detrimental to the relationship between our Fang family and the Ma family.'

"The patriarch old man shook his head and said: 'You are too shallow. His big girl is stubborn. I heard the other rooms secretly talking about it. When we asked this girl to renew the strings for Mr. Ma, she resisted on purpose, but she was rejected. Fang Yu persuaded her. Now that the raw rice has been made into cooked rice, this girl has nothing to do. It’s just that she listens to Fang Yu’s words the most. Once Fang Yu has something to plot, she will be Fang Yu’s strong support. Have to guard against.'"

Mrs. Sha said with a sad smile, and said: "This is my patriarch, old man and uncles, and even the blood relatives of the same clan are plotting. The Fang family will not perish, and heaven will not tolerate it!"
