The Dharma Sea of ​​the Green Snake

Chapter 563 Chang'an Fengzhuang
Fengzhuang is one of the best large manors in the suburbs of Chang'an.

It covers an area of ​​nearly [-] hectares, with pavilions, terraces and pavilions, carved railings and jade bricks, and various exotic treasures often come and go in and out of it, giving people a mysterious and quiet feeling.

However, although Fengzhuang covers a large area and has servants to take care of it all the year round, its master rarely lives here for a long time.

Only occasionally, the nearby villagers will see the master here with a large number of servants going in and out, but they will disperse within three or two days at most.

As a result, the residents suspect that the owner of this huge manor is very likely to be the temporary residence of some dignitaries in Chang'an, and even royal family members.

Only those who really know the inside story know that this manor is actually just a family property won by a certain "upstart" and "silly prince" after a big gamble.

If it weren't for that "stupid prince" who is known to be a fool both inside and outside the court.

Even if a certain "upstart" really wins the bet, it is definitely not a simple matter to really get the manor.

After all, the Tang Dynasty has continued to this day, and there are countless royal relatives, among which the coquettish and domineering ones account for the vast majority.

It's okay to gamble with these royal family members, but if you really want to win something from them, it depends on whether you have the life to take it.

It is no exaggeration to say that that "stupid prince" is one of the few people who keeps his promise among the many royal family members.

Of course, in the eyes of officials inside and outside the court, this is proof of stupidity and stupidity.

Otherwise, as the uncle of several consecutive emperors, if he wants to break the contract, a certain upstart may not only dare not attack, but even have to offer a generous gift.

It's a pity that the "stupid prince" in the court and the field could not escape the fate of the royal family after all. Shortly after Wu Zong succeeded to the throne, he disappeared inexplicably.

Everyone inside and outside the government knew that this was the current Wuzong who deliberately made the "stupid prince" disappear in order to eradicate those who threatened his throne.

After all, when Wu Zong had just succeeded as the crown prince, he would cause accidents to his silly uncle every now and then.

It's okay to say once or twice, and everyone will naturally notice it when the number is too many.

Compared with eradicating people who threatened their throne, the only thing that the ministers inside and outside the court wondered was why the emperor, who was excellent in martial arts and martial arts, would target his stupid uncle so much.

Fortunately, the affairs of the royal family were obscure and cumbersome, and the courtiers who could not see the whole picture stopped talking so much after the foolish prince disappeared.

On the contrary, this large manor, which has been vacant all year round, has become fat in the eyes of many rich and nobles, waiting to be snatched from the nouveau riche at any time.

However, there are many people who have made plans for this manor, but few of them finally escaped unscathed.

As the days went by, those guys with ulterior motives would know that the well-known upstart in Chang'an seemed to be not as simple as he imagined.

As a top merchant who ventured into the Western Regions alone and opened up a business route.

That nouveau riche may be vulgar or lowly, but it is undeniable that he is indeed one of the most influential figures in Chang'an.

So after learning that the nouveau riche came back from Tanzhou, no matter whether it was intentional or not, there were more strangers of unknown origin near Fengzhuang.

......................................................................................................

"What the hell is that upstart doing?"

Peeking quietly at Fengzhuang not far away, I saw a young man dressed as a peddler complaining in a low voice.

Since the nouveau riche returned to Chang'an, except for purchasing some daily necessities at the beginning, I haven't seen them leave Fengzhuang at other times.

If it hadn't been for repeated confirmations, the young man would have suspected that the other party had already secretly left Fengzhuang.

"What do you care about him? Just do our job well."

Stretching out his hand to wipe the sweat off his head, the older man glared at the young man first, and then looked up at the scorching sun above his head.

"Looking at the sun, it's almost time for the shift."

"From now on, you should keep a close eye on me. I don't want to stay here with you in the afternoon to bask in the sun."

Hearing this, the young trafficker had no choice but to shut his mouth resentfully.

But a young man is a young man after all, he didn't hold back for long before speaking again, and this time he began to gossip about the identity of the upstart family.

"Uncle, who do you think this upstart family is?"

"Why does the uncle pay so much attention to their family's situation, and even asked us to come here to keep an eye on them?"

Rather helplessly, he glared at the young man again. The older man knew that if he didn't satisfy the boy's curiosity first, this guy probably wouldn't stop today.

"What is the origin of this family, I really don't know."

"But I know why the uncle is following him, because he has something to do with our missing 'silly prince'."

When talking about the three words "silly prince", the older man made no secret of his ridicule and contempt, as if he was talking about the second idiot from the next door.

"Silly prince?"

Hearing what the older man said, the young man was taken aback.

"You mean, that rumor is true? Our 'silly prince' is not dead? Is he hiding in Fengzhuang now?"

Three questions were asked in an unbelievable year, and the astonishment on the young man's face was beyond words.

"What are you thinking, boy? Even if the 'silly prince' is not dead, it is impossible to hide in this Fengzhuang."

When he said this, the older man paused for a moment, and then continued to explain in a low voice.

"You think no one thinks like you do?"

"This Fengzhuang has already been searched inside and out. It is absolutely impossible for someone to hide."

"Not to mention Tibetans, you can't even hide a fly here."

On this point, the older man did not mean to exaggerate at all.

In fact, apart from my group, there are other forces that have been stationed in this small Fengzhuang for more than ten years, and they even know exactly how many trees there are in the Zhuangzi.

"Doesn't this prove the rumor instead?"

Different from the thinking of older men, young people pay more attention to the rumor about "Silly Prince".

"Tell me, has our 'silly prince' really become a monk?"

"Also, how did he escape? And once he escaped, he disappeared for nearly 20 years."

Without continuing to answer the young man's question, the older man quickly patted the other man on the head and scolded him.

"Silly boy, is this something you can pay attention to?"

"You just wait for me to be honest and don't talk, and wait for someone to replace us!"
