Chapter 29 The Throttle

The four surnames of Kuaiji, Kong He and Yu Wei!

Although it is incomparable to Gu Lu, Zhu Zhang, the four surnames of Wu County, they are also a family of poetry, rituals, and their families are only second to the top. Among them, Wei Du, the Wei family, is the playboy who gave his ancestral home to Tianshidao. Xu You has already experienced it. As for He, the day when Xu You left Jinling, the encounter with Yuan Qingqi in Fengxu Pavilion was also known from her that the suicide of the Princess Hengyang and the girl He was a girl.

There is also Kong and Xu You who had never had a direct deal, but Zhang Mo and Zhang did not doubt that the day Chunshui sang "Chunshu Travel to Qiantang Lake", Kong Rui of Kong was in the hall, which was considered indirect.

But who would have thought that the dignified He family, a famous family in Kuaiji, even started to engage in the calamity of trafficking people, especially selling southerners to northerners as playthings. It was simply unscrupulous and inferior to pigs and dogs.

"What are the chief clerk's plans?"

Bao Xi looked at Xu You and asked back, "What do you think?"

After Xu You held his hands, he looked at the screen wall in the distance to alert officials. The lotus moon map on it shone brightly under the sunlight, as if he came to life.

As clear as water, as straight as lotus, as bright as the moon!

Bao Xi understood what he meant, walked back and forth a few steps, and said, "What Zhou Ying'er said may not be true. He is just a tit for his own affairs. Even if he has some contact with Li Qingyu, it is only for the sake of money. For such a secret matter, at most, he can't hear some drunken words from the boatman's mouth, and he can't do it accurately..."

Xu You shook his head and said, "It is precisely because of this secret that Zhou Ying'er can't make it up. Actually, you and I know that 90% of this matter may be true!"

I don’t know if the horoscope is not consistent, but Xu You and Bao Xi never had the same view on everything, and disputes became the only way to solve the problem.

Bao Xi suddenly became impatient and failed many times to confront Xu You, which made his voice in front of Gu Yun sharply decline. It was difficult to keep his usual calm. He said angrily: "Even if it is true, have you ever thought that the He family is valued by the Lord now and has won over ten years. Two princesses have married the He family, and their favor is unparalleled. Even the four families of Xiao, Yuan, Liu and Yu are beyond the reach of the world. The Ming Mansion has just entered the official career and its foundation is still shallow, but the Baishe case offended Tianshidao, offended the prince, offended Wei family. Qianzhouzhi offended colleagues of the Yangzhou governor's office and local gentry in Wu County, and offended some ministers in the court. If you act rashly this time and offended He family, do you... do you want Feiqing to be a lonely minister?"

Xu You said coldly: "How many innocent girls died in the White Snake Case? Feiqing eliminated the harm to the people and became famous. Who can compare with the younger generation in the family? Since you have entered the officialdom, sooner or later, you will have enemies, opponents, open swords and hidden arrows, and bloody storms. Instead of being passively trapped in the killing one day in the future, it is better to enter the market now and hone your mind and at least be able to take the initiative in your own hands, either advance or retreat, and be at ease."

"Priority?"

Bao Xi couldn't say anything about him and said helplessly: "I only see the dead end!"

Xu You discovered that Bao Xi had a big disadvantage, that is, he was more resourceful and less decisive, and was cautious and cautious to the point of being outrageous. However, it is understandable to think about it. He assisted Gu Yun's father and managed only one county. His knowledge and mind were limited to the small Dongyang County, or he was still in Dongyang County and did not escape. Once the overall situation was involved, he was afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the back, and he was hesitant, which was in sharp contrast to He Ru's greed for merit and his ruthlessness in his eyes, and his eyes were glowing with green light and his biting.

"I don't know how many things come about when I die! Besides, there is no way to die. Feiqing entered Yuanyang Jinglu because of the white snake, and then found that the dry bones in the hut were like a mountain. He was not intentionally targeting the prince and others. There were many people in the world who were wise, so what would he say about offending? As for the relocation of the prefecture, even Gu Shizhong came to Qiantang in person to talk about Xiang. He was a close minister of the emperor and Feiqing's elder, so could he deliberately harm him? If you talk about risks, there must be some, but compared with the benefits obtained, this risk can be completely negligible."

These principles are simple and straightforward. Bao Xi actually knew it well. The way he designed for Gu Yun was to steadily and step by step for the traditional family members to enter the officialdom, just like Gu Yun's father, without making mistakes, taking risks, and not making a first move. Now he has completely disrupted the plan.

"Who is right and who is wrong will naturally be clear in the future." Bao Xi didn't want to talk anymore. None of the two could convince each other, and said, "Do you still want the Mingfu to know about the He family's business of women?"

Xu You shook his head and said, "I don't have that intention!"

Bao Xi was stunned and did not react for a moment. After a while, he asked with a little hesitation: "You..."

"As you said, He is full of honor and favor, and cannot be offended easily. Feiqing just made a big splash in front of the master of the Qianzhou government. If he wrote a letter to the He family, he would cause countless troubles."

Xu You is not a reckless and impulsive young man. If you want to do good deeds, you have to protect yourself first. Sacrifice yourself and feed the tiger with your body is the way of a saint. He doesn't do it, and Gu Yun can't do it either.

However, there is still a difference between the two. Xu You only needs to make a decision to tolerate and retreat in an instant, but Gu Yun will fight against the gods and be tortured by the uneasy conscience, and then surrender sadly under the pressure of family justice.

Therefore, instead of revealing that He's clinging matters made Gu Yun feel embarrassed, it would be better to pretend that he didn't know and make further plans in the future. Xu Yougong bowed and said, "Chief, Zhou Ying'er will definitely talk nonsense when she passes the court. If Feiqing doesn't fall into this mud, Zhou Ying'er must shut up!"

Only then did Bao Xi believe that Xu You really didn't intend to intervene, and his mood suddenly became clear and said, "Don't worry about this, I have a way to make Zhou Ying'er forget what he said just now!"

"That's good, but there is one thing that the chief clerk wants to promise me!"

"you say!"

"Zhou Ying'er must be alive!" Xu You's tone was unquestionable, and he said, "Let him hand over the hidden 150,000 yuan in exchange for a chance to survive! If you want to convince Fei Qing, you will only convict him of money by defrauding money. Don't mention it again when you say "collusion with the enemy and treason!"

Bao Xi's face changed slightly. Knowing that Xu You still hadn't given up, he was confused for a long time and said, "Okay, I promise you!"

Leaving the county government office, Xu You returned to Jingyuan and told Zhou Ying'er's confession. Lu Shuang entered the brothel since she was a child. Everything she saw and heard was a tragic incident in the world. Her psychological quality was very strong. But after hearing the word "dog prostitute", she still burst into tears and said, "Buy female slaves from Yangzhou and then sold them to Jiangdong as concubines and maids. This has been a long time since. It's just that she plundered good men everywhere and crossed them to the Northern Wei Dynasty. This is the first time she heard it, let alone dog prostitutes... People say that the robbers were wearing their hair and left lapels, which was no different from animals, and it was true!"

The autumnal equinox hugged Lu Shuang's waist, gently stroked her back to comfort her, raised her face, looked at Xu You with a gaze, and said, "Xiaolang, isn't anyone taking care of such evil things?"

Zuo Qi sighed and said, "What should I do? Two princesses and three princesses came out of the He family. They looked at the Jiangdong clans everywhere, and only the He family had such honor. How can the royal relatives and people outside the law resist doing evil? If you want me, the plundered girl can only admit that she is unlucky!"

Dong Xie nodded quickly and said, "When I was in the boat pavilion, I heard that after the Princess Hengyang passed away, the Lord still intended to choose a girl from He as his daughter-in-law. If the King of Hengyang had not strongly opposed it, now he would probably have another princess. It's really strange that there are many outstanding girls from other aristocratic families, but the Lord took a fancy to He. Could it be that there is anything wrong with it?"

"There are some things to pay attention to, but it is not what you think, it has nothing to do with ghosts, gods, good and bad luck!" He Ru smiled and said: "Yangzhou has four surnames, Gu Lu, Zhu and Zhang, and Kuaiji, Kong He and Yu and Wei. The He family ranks the lowest among the eight surnames, and they are much inferior in terms of their background and strength. The master intends to marry the He family, and to embed a chess piece in Yangzhou, so that the He family can grow rapidly with the royal power, so as to balance the layout of other surnames on the big chessboard of Yangzhou. This is one!"

"Secondly, the He family is dependent on the royal family. In just ten years, it took a path that other aristocratic races would take a hundred years to complete. Think about it, how many aristocratic races in Jiangdong are in the whole of Jiangdong? How can anyone with a little ambition not be moved or covet? The master has a good method. With just two sons and three daughters, dozens of aristocratic races like the He family can kneel at the feet of the royal family and pray for mercy, and play them on their palms. This is to buy horse bones for profit and lure people's hearts!"

Zuo Qi was amazed and said, "Everything in the world is in his wings! If I hadn't listened to you, I wouldn't have understood the truth!"

The Autumnal Equinox eyes were full of admiration and said, "Mr. He Langjun, you can even guess the Lord's mind thoroughly, and you must be even more powerful than Lord!"

He Ru was not proud of the little girl's murmur. She smiled at her kindly, turned to look at Xu You, and said, "Does Qilang refuse to let go?"

Xu You quietly narrowed his eyes, gently lit the table with his index finger, and murmured: "He, He, I really can't touch the tiger's butt..."

The few people looked at each other and did not dare to say anything. Only He Ru was drinking tea calmly and leisurely. After half of the incense stick, Xu You raised his head and said word by word: "Qiyi, I need your information!"

He Ru put down the cup, laughed happily, and his eyes were filled with light, and he said, "Qilang, I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

From the first time we met, Xu You knew that He Ru had his own source of information, so he could learn about the various inside stories of Zhan Wenjun and Guo Mian, and also intercept the actions of him and Zuo Qi and others in time. Some time ago, Zhou Ying'er escaped and went out for a walk and got specific information. The accuracy and speed of the source of information were not much worse than that of the Ship Pavilion.

"First make it clear, my intelligence is bought with money, Qilang should not have too much hope." He Ru smiled slightly, "I just escaped from the north. No matter how much money I have in my hands, I can't help but raise so many people to collect intelligence... Perhaps only a great master like Guo Mian has such courage and financial resources."

This was what Xu You expected. He Ru alone could not organize a large-scale intelligence agency and said, "Let me say it quickly, where does this lot of nonsense come from!"
