The accumulation of wealth for a wealthy family like the Xu family is astonishing.!

In fact, in a sense, the father and son of the Xu family can be regarded as members of the nouveau riche. They are always itchy when they have money, especially in Hangzhou, which is the hometown of the Xu family. The so-called rich people do not return home, just like walking at night in brocade clothes. This kind of Eastern culture

The bad nature completely revealed the true colors of this upstart father and son.

After hearing what Xu Qian said, Xu Fu immediately said: "If this is the case, then there must be a shortage of building materials in Zhejiang Province. I will ask Hangzhou Ruyifang to stock up on some building materials in advance."

He has a business mentality, and Xu Qian has used this technique several times, and now that he has learned it, he has carried it forward.

Xu Qian smiled. It was already midnight. Xu Qian went to Zhao Mengting's room tonight. He couldn't sleep for long. He was walking quickly outside and someone whispered: "Young Master... Young Master..."

··”

Zhao Mengting pushed Xu Qian to wake up. Xu Qian had been too sleepy these past few days and had too many things to do. At this time, she complained slightly: "It's so late at night, what are you making a noise about?"

The person outside said: "I am the concierge Xu Jiu. There is a eunuch coming outside, saying that there is something urgent and he wants to see you.

"Eunuch..." Xu Qian discredited and lit the candle, but he was full of doubts.

No, it's the middle of the night. Where did the eunuch come from? You know, the key to the arch has been locked, and you can't get in or out. Even if there is something going on in the palace, it should be discussed early tomorrow morning, unless... something big happens.

Xu Qian immediately put on his clothes and shoes and said to Zhao Mengting: "I'll go out and take a look. You can sleep well and don't pay attention to me."

When he came out of the room, it was a bit cold at night. Xu Qian couldn't help shivering. He didn't even bother to go back and put on more clothes, and asked the disciple: "Where is he now?"

"I've asked him to wait in the flower hall."

Xu Qian nodded and walked to the flower hall in the backyard. The lamps were already lit in the flower hall. The eunuch was wandering around in the hall anxiously. When he saw Xu Qian, as if he saw a life-saving straw, he quickly prostrated and said: "Slave.

Wu Xin, I’ve met your Excellency.”

Xu Qian glanced at him hesitantly, as if he had some impression of him, and said calmly: "I recognize you. You are Eunuch Huang's adopted son. Why did something happen to Eunuch Huang?"

I came here in the middle of the night, thinking something must have happened to Eunuch Huang.

Wu Xin quickly shook his head and said: "Sir, it's not Eunuch Huang, it's Your Majesty. Something happened to Your Majesty..."

After hearing these words, Xu Qian's expression suddenly changed.

What could happen if something happened? Even if something happened, how could Wu Xin be sent here?

Wu Xin said: "Last evening, His Majesty suddenly fell ill, and the abscesses all over his body also broke out. At first, I thought it was just an old illness. But who would have thought that His Majesty fainted and the imperial doctors went to diagnose...

He was also helpless and didn't even know what kind of disease he was suffering from. Later, Zhang Tianshi said that His Majesty had been poisoned. He said that it would resolve itself and ordered people not to spread the news to avoid spreading the news.

The government and the public were suspicious, but Eunuch Huang felt that something was wrong. At first, it could only be like this, but later, Tianshi Zhang directly ordered people to seal the Great Gaoxuan Hall, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. Even Eunuch Huang could not enter, and the queen mothers of the two palaces also blocked it.

When I arrived, I just said that Zhang Tianshi was forcing poison for Your Majesty and it was not convenient to see him. Eunuch Huang felt that something was strange, so he ordered his servants to climb over the wall and leave the palace overnight to come to see Your Majesty."

Xu Qian's face suddenly turned gloomy.

All of a sudden, his mind suddenly became extremely clear.

He had long felt that something was not right. There were many questions in his mind that he could not explain clearly and could not find the answers. But now, he faintly felt that he had found the answer.

No wonder Zhang Tianshi praises himself so much, and even encourages His Majesty to grant the title to God-given Duke. This is definitely not to please himself, because the two people's own positions are hostile to each other. The more one's own strength increases, the more weight he has in His Majesty's heart.

To him, Zhang Tianshi is

It was a disaster, but he remained the same. Thinking about it now, he didn't care at all whether His Majesty trusted him more, because this old guy didn't care about this from the beginning, or in other words, he had already made up his mind before that day.

He made up his mind and wanted Jiajing's life.

Why did he want Jiajing's life?

Xu Qian is not clear about this, but he boldly speculates that there may be something wrong with his elixir itself. He can fool him for a while, but not forever. Sooner or later, His Majesty will become suspicious, and once he becomes suspicious, he will die without a burial.

At that time, it was just that...he was a heavenly master who dared to poison the emperor and had no allies. He had the courage.

In fact, a pig can figure this out. If no one colludes with him, he will be unlucky if Jiajing dies. After all, this kind of thing is no joke. In the end, everyone will definitely shift the responsibility to him.

So, who else is his accomplice? Many people in the palace have indeed turned to him, but that is not enough. What about the pro-army forces? How many of the pro-army troops are his accomplices? There is also the imperial court, how many in the imperial court are there?

Is he his accomplice?

Xu Qian's head was about to explode and it was buzzing.

Thinking about this now, it is obviously of no use. Only God knows whether Jiajing is dead or alive. And this guy took this opportunity to blockade the Great Gaoxuan Palace. He will definitely join forces with his wife to control it as quickly as possible.

As for the situation in the palace, once he and his gang take control of the Forbidden City, won't they all have the final say in the world?

For example, if Jiajing dies, does he have a legacy? This legacy is of great importance. If the legacy included Zhang Tianshi or several other party members to assist the country, and if someone else is appointed as the emperor, all these possibilities may affect the entire country.

Given the direction of the DPRK, these people are taking such desperate risks because of course they are seeking power. But once the power falls into their hands, everything will be over.

But... what if my guess is wrong?

This is a very serious problem. If my guess is correct and someone is indeed plotting, then if I step forward immediately at this time, it will be a rescue. But if this is groundless, what else will it be?

Xu Qian stared at Wu Xin, as if he wanted to see through him at a glance. His purpose was of course to ensure the absolute accuracy of the information. He said coldly: "Wu Xin, what else did Eunuch Huang say to you?"

"I...I..." Wu Xin didn't know how to answer.

Xu Qian shouted: "Tell the truth, did Eunuch Huang order you to report the news? Don't think that I don't know what you have done. There are people of my own rank in Jin Yiwei!"

Wu Xin was so frightened that he trembled and said, "What I said is absolutely true... indeed."

Xu Qian sneered and said, "Really? Then why didn't Eunuch Huang explain anything else?"

Wu Xin couldn't help but said: "What's the matter?"

Xu Qian sneered: "This is the code for private communication between Eunuch Huang and me. I will only believe you if you answer the code. But why didn't Eunuch Huang tell you?"

This was naturally a test, but Xu Qian’s loud shouting made Wu Xin panic. In the end, he turned pale and kowtowed: "My lord, forgive me, forgive me. Actually... Actually, this is not Eunuch Huang calling the slave to report the news, but

It’s Mr. Yang... Mr. Yang is still on duty in the palace and feels that something is fishy, ​​so...so..."

Xu Qian couldn't help but take a breath, it turned out to be Yang Tinghe. It was Yang Tinghe who ordered him to report the news.

If it was Yang Tinghe who reported the message, why did he do this? Of course Xu Qian didn't believe it. Yang Tinghe had any loyalty to Jiajing. Although he was loyal, the loyal one was definitely not the dim and incompetent Emperor Jiajing in his eyes. So...he pretended to be Huang Tinghe.

In the name of Jin, he asked himself to rescue him. Could it be that he had dug a trap for himself to fall into? When the time comes that he rushes into the palace in the name of rescuing him, wouldn't he be committing a rebellion?

No... Yang Tinghe doesn't bother to play such little tricks. Even if he wants to play, his level must be very high.

Wu Xin cried and said: "Mr. Yang promised me some money and said that I would take care of him in the future. I ate lard and became heartbroken. But... Your Majesty is indeed ill, and very seriously ill. Just now."

There is absolutely no falsehood in what I said. If I say the wrong thing, I will be shot through the heart by thousands of arrows..."

Xu Qian was even more undecided. It would be fine if the news was really from Huang Jin, but the problem was, it was the news from Yang Tinghe. What did he want to do?

Should I be indifferent, or should I take action immediately?

In such a thing, the most feared thing is to lose the opportunity. Once time passes and it becomes a fait accompli, then everything will be of no use. If Jiajing is dead and these people are killed,

Encourage the panicked and helpless empress dowagers of the two palaces, and then it will be too late.

In this situation, Xu Qian must make a choice immediately.

He glared at Wu Xin fiercely and said: "Very good, but you can stay here. If it is absolutely true, I will not hold you accountable. But if you dare to talk nonsense, I will chop you up."

After threatening Wu Xin, Xu Qian walked out of the flower hall with a face. Xu Jiu, the disciple, was still waiting outside. When he saw Xu Qian coming out in a menacing manner, he quickly asked: "Do you have any orders?"

Xu Qian said: "Go and wake up everyone in the house, sir, and a few cousins. In addition, immediately send people to deliver letters to several uncles and the Lu family. Hurry, you know?"

"

"Yes, yes..." Of course Wu Xin did not dare to neglect.

Not long after, lights were lit in the Xu family's inner house. Not only were the masters awakened, but the servants also had to get up to serve. Then, seven or eight key figures of the Xu family gathered together again.

In the flower hall.

After telling what happened, everyone was stunned and didn't know what to do.

We are not fools. Such serious matters are definitely not fun.

This is definitely a huge problem for the Xu family. Where to go will even determine the honor and disgrace of the entire Xu family for a hundred years.
