Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

The Dragon Scale Guards, like the Dragon Guards, are the Son of Heaven's pro-army,

The two are directly responsible to the emperor, rather than under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War.

One is the eyes and ears of the emperor, nominally responsible for collecting military information.

In fact, there is also the right to arrest and interrogation.

The other is the emperor's guard, mostly served by noble children.

Mainly responsible for safeguarding the safety of Ouchi.

Among them, the Dragon Scale Guard is managed by Prince Zhongshun.

And personally served as the commander.

But in his capacity, it is natural that ordinary things will not come forward easily.

Therefore, one south and one north command the same knowledge.

It is the person who actually controls the operation of the Dragon Scale Guard.

This Zou Desheng is the commander of Nanjing Longlin Guard.

That is, the leader of the Southern Dragon Scale Guard.

If Zou Deqing was here, he would definitely recognize this person.

Because, Zou Desheng is his cousin.

Even just looking at the names, one can guess that the two might be a family.

It is because of this relationship that Zou Desheng was able to join the Dragon Scale Guard and was reused by Prince Zhongshun.

But now, Zou Deqing was kicked out, and Zou Desheng appeared here.

It can be seen that even Zou Deqing was kept in the dark about this matter.

Obviously, only two people in the hall knew the specific situation.

Feng Yibo naturally didn't know the pass.

When Zou Desheng came out, although he guessed that this person should have something to do with his identity being exposed.

But after carefully looking at it for a while, he was still at a loss.

Who is this person?

Could it be Fengjiazhuang?
But why don't I have any impression of it?

Feng Yibo didn't realize it until Zou Desheng revealed his identity.

It turned out to be Nanjing Dragon Scale Guard!

This identity also gave him some bad guesses.

After all, Fengjiazhuang is in Jinling!

It would be reasonable to say that Longlin Wei was aware of his identity.

It stands to reason that two years have passed, and his identity has never been revealed.

Why was it discovered at this time?
Seeing that Feng Yibo didn't hide the doubt on his face, Prince Zhongshun immediately smiled.

He raised his chin towards Zou Desheng again, and said:
"You still haven't told Donghai County King, what's going on?"

"As ordered!"

Hearing this, Zou Desheng gave Feng Yibo a "hehe" smile, and said:
"The King of Donghai County must be a little puzzled. Why did the lower officials know your identity after two years?"

Having said this, he sighed slightly, and said:

"Speaking of which, this matter is indeed my dereliction of duty."

Seeing that Feng Yibo didn't speak, he just looked at him intently.

Zou Desheng began to talk on his own.

"Longlin Guard is in the south of the Yangtze River. The main responsibility is not to observe the people's sentiments, but to secretly monitor the officials and nobles, as well as those famous families."

This is not true at all.

Long Linwei's energy was indeed focused on the dignitaries in the south of the Yangtze River.

For the people in the south of the Yangtze River, they don't take it seriously.

After all, how much money can ordinary people have?

The dignitaries and rich families only need to be caught by the Dragon Scale Guard.

So……

Or pass the news back to the capital and ask for credit to Prince Zhongshun.

Or beat and knock, and someone will immediately spend money to eliminate the disaster.

Over the years, Zou Desheng has relied on such means to sell well on both sides.

Not only did he make countless achievements, but he also made a lot of money.

Let’s not talk about it far away, just talk about the Japanese pirates attacking Nanjing by Da Qiao Wulang.

In fact, it was the spies lurking in Zhen's house who accidentally bumped into the Japanese pirates who came to meet him.

He was afraid that he would not be able to suppress such a thing.

He didn't dare to delay now, and sent people to arrest him secretly.

After learning that the Japanese pirates had arrived outside Jinling City, they quickly informed the Nanjing Ministry of War.

However, he concealed that the pirates came to find the Zhen family.

After receiving the news, the Zhen family wanted to get rid of the relationship as soon as possible.

Very sensible choice to spend money.

Even before the pirates were dealt with by Feng Yibo, the money was delivered to Zou Desheng.

As a result, the two Japanese pirates who went to Zhen's house to ask for help were soon overwhelmed by punishment.

He was tortured to death before confessing to the Zhen family.

As for the existence of Da Qiao Weijiu, Longlin Wei had already known about it.

After all, for a big family like the Zhen family, the outhouse was also included in the scope of surveillance.

With the incident of Japanese pirates attacking Nanjing, Longlinwei naturally wouldn't let this cash cow go.

So he prepared to close the net quickly and send people to arrest him quickly.

It's a pity that Da Qiao Weijiu is well-trained and extra vigilant.

But even if no one was caught, the Zhen family still gave enough hush money.

Just like this, when Zhen's family was raided, Zou Desheng felt it was a pity.

Without him, there is one less money tree.

"Feng Family Village is not very eye-catching in Jinling, and it is on the outskirts of the city. Our Dragon Scale Guards failed to detect the abnormality in time."

Zou Desheng didn't hide anything about Feng Yibo's identity not being discovered in time.

Because things like this are indeed out of his scope of monitoring.

Having said that, he couldn't help but smile triumphantly, and said:
"Fortunately, when Zhen's family was confiscated this time, the Longlin Guard made an unexpected discovery."

This damned Zhen family has really caused endless disasters!
Hearing that Zou Desheng actually found a breakthrough from the Zhen family, Feng Yibo couldn't help but curse inwardly.

In fact, at the very beginning, Zou Desheng only got a little information from Zhen Youcai.

That is, Feng Yibo had a deep collusion with the Duke of Donghai.

According to Zhen Youcai's words, they should cooperate internally and externally.

Looted all the overseas fleets of the Zhen family.

It was this matter that aroused Zou Desheng's interest.

He wanted to investigate, maybe he could get some money from Donghai County.

Of course, Zou Desheng would not talk about such things by himself.

He skipped the details of this matter and said directly:

"When the Zhen family was escorted back to Beijing, I sent someone to investigate. Unexpectedly, this investigation yielded shocking news!"

It has to be said that the Dragon Scale Guard is just not focused on the people.

But there's nothing professional about it.

As long as you want to check, there are many things that can be traced.

Soon, they discover a startling secret.

The backbone of Donghai County turned out to be the former new army.

And the backbone of the new army is the servant of the Feng family village!
So, isn't Feng Yuan behind the Duke of Donghai?

In addition, the king of Donghai County hides his head and shows his tail, and almost never appears in front of people.

Among the civil and military officials in the whole dynasty, no one has ever seen this person!
It's all relying on Feng Yibo to spread the word.

Combined with such news, Zou Desheng made a bold guess.

That is, Feng Yibo may be the king of Donghai County!
With this guess, further investigation will be conducted.

Dragon Scale Guard soon discovered more clues.

After repeated hesitation, he still did not dare to deceive Prince Zhongshun.

After all, if you don't talk about this matter, you will ask for a sum of money at most.

But when the future is exposed, he can't eat and walk away.

Zou Desheng sighed, and took out another booklet from his pocket.

While handing it to Feng Yibo, he also praised:
"Who would have thought that Feng Jiaxuan, who is famous all over the south of the Yangtze River, would be the same person as the Duke of Donghai County!"

Feng Yibo took the booklet expressionlessly, and opened it.

I saw that the booklet was densely packed with investigation results.

Those involved include Xiangshan Wei, Ningbo Wei, and Quanzhou Wei!

There are also businessmen who have been to Donghae County and so on.

The details of the content made Feng Yibo see these.

At this time, there is no luck in my heart!

Besides, Quanzhou Wei's testimony was somewhat vague.

This also made Feng Yibo slightly relieved, at least Liu Zhao did not betray him.

The testimony of other people all pointed to Feng Jiazhuang from the side!

Originally, he thought that Prince Zhongshun just heard some rumors.

Everything you said just now was deceiving him.

But now Feng Yibo discovered that he really came prepared.

At the end, his heart sank to the bottom.

He handed back the report with a blank face, and at the same time, his heart turned a thousand times.

With one hand, he gently caressed the short gun at his waist.

The other hand also touched the earthen grenade.

Originally, I brought these two things just in case.

But looking at the current situation, it might really come in handy!

Do you want to give the two people in the room a hot one?

only……

If that's the case, it seems that he can only flee overseas.

Even, because of the assassination of the royal family.

Donghai County will also be crusaded by Wei for this reason.

Seeing that he had finished reading, Zou Desheng took the booklet casually.

Obviously, it wasn't the only one, and he didn't really care.

"Many things are solved after knowing the answer."

Seeing Feng Yibo's troubled face, Zou Desheng couldn't help feeling proud.

He thought that the other party was still struggling to admit it, so he sighed again:
"No wonder, the Duke of Donghai never shows up! It turns out that you have been an official in the capital."

"No wonder, only Feng Duwei can contact him! It turns out that he dare not meet with others."

"No wonder, Feng Duwei started his career by beating Japanese pirates, and Donghai County King also made his fortune by beating Japanese pirates. Outsiders can only regard it as a coincidence. Who would have thought that the two would be the same person!"

After three consecutive "no wonder", Zou Desheng was even more proud.

Feng Yibo still hasn't made up his mind, he is waiting for Prince Zhongshun to speak.

Zou Desheng didn't know that he was already wandering in the gate of hell, and he continued: .

"This time, everyone in the court was deceived, only Feng Duwei himself made a fortune silently."

Seeing that Feng Yibo still refused to open his mouth, he couldn't help but sarcastically said:

"Thinking about it carefully, Feng Duwei is really a god-man, and it's quite a sympathy in the court!"

As soon as these words came out, Feng Yibo's heart was aroused with murderous intent.

His eyes suddenly became sharp!

Zou Desheng only felt a chill on the back of his neck, and took a slight step back.

Seeing the two confronting each other, Prince Zhongshun felt that it was almost the same, so he said:

"While running such a big business overseas, he also sat in the position of a third-rank official in the court."

Speaking of this, he also brought some emotion, admiring:
"I have to say, Mr. Feng is really a god!"

His lazy voice made the two confronting each other slightly relaxed.

Especially Feng Yibo, just waiting for him to speak!

At this point, he has calmed down.

Judging from Prince Zhongshun's attitude and actions today.

It doesn't seem like he's trying to expose himself.

He even called out the title "Sir" just now.

The meaning of solicitation is very obvious.

Then, here comes the problem!

Even if he wants to recruit himself, what is the purpose of Prince Zhongshun?
After painstaking investigations, conclusive evidence was produced.

It's not just to find someone with a similar status to gossip with him, right?

Feng Yibo's heart turned, and he began to think about the other party's purpose.

Since Prince Zhongshun does not intend to reveal his identity, he will leave it to the court to deal with.

Then he will get it, or in other words, what he can give him.

What are there?

Do you let yourself rely on him to deal with the founder of the country?
Or do you want to use this to coerce yourself and make money for him?
Or...

What is the picture?
No matter what, only by understanding the other party's purpose can we have a suitable response!
"Everyone is a sensible person, so don't go around the bush."

Having made up his mind, Feng Yibo was about to open the skylight to speak frankly.

Immediately, he asked in a deep voice:

"My lord might as well tell me, what is the reason for today's incident?"

It seems that this Feng Yuan is very good!

Seeing that Feng Yibo didn't struggle needlessly, Prince Zhongshun suddenly smiled like a flower.

He sat up straight and leaned forward slightly, but the smile on his face was more obvious,

"Don't worry, Mr. Feng, this king doesn't want to threaten you with this, and will continue to keep it secret for you."

Sure enough!

Hearing this, Feng Yibo temporarily let go of the big stone in his heart.

Seeing that he hadn't revealed his real purpose, he said softly "Oh?" and asked:

"Then what price do I have to pay?"

If it does not violate conscience, it will not be detrimental to Donghai County.

Feng Yibo felt that it would be okay to agree first.

However, if the other party asks him to do harm to the people like the Zhen family did.

Or let him hand over all the power of Donghai County.

Then Feng Yibo only had two choices left.

One is to open up now.

Killed a bloody road, fled overseas and began to rebel.

The second is a false promise.

When I go back, I pack up my things and go overseas to live a happy life.

But these two paths, no matter which one, are not what he wants now.

Compared with Dawei, Donghai County is still a small grasshopper.

It's okay to jump around for a while.

In the long run, the size difference between the two is too big.

What's more, the current Donghai County.

All aspects still rely on Wei to a certain extent.

One of the important reasons why he continued to serve as an official in the court was to protect Donghai County.
Let Donghae County develop stably.

When Prince Zhongshun heard Feng Yibo asked him to make a condition, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

"After the king knew about this, he knew that Mr. Feng has great ambitions!"

"'I don't want to be named Marquis, I only wish Haibo's peace' is not just a random word!"

He praised a few words first, and then said:
"Therefore, this king also felt sorry for each other, and wanted to make friends with Mr. Feng."

Hearing this, Feng Yibo frowned and looked at Prince Zhongshun's expression.

Make sure his smile is genuine and not sarcastic.

Obviously not like Zou Desheng, who is mocking himself and cherishing each other.

After confirming this, he asked calmly:
"I'm afraid this friend is not so easy to be, is it?"

He had been waiting for the other party to make a request, but Prince Zhongshun made a detour again.

Feng Yibo had no choice but to continue to go straight to the point again.

"Don't worry, I will never let my friends suffer!"

Seeing that he still had doubts, Prince Zhongshun smiled confidently, and said:

"If the two of us become friends and support each other, the world is so big, what else can hinder us? Right?"

Feng Yibo was a little confused when he heard that, he frowned slightly, and said tentatively:
"So, the prince intends to conquer Donghai County?"

Upon hearing this, Prince Zhongshun waved his hands repeatedly and said:

"No, no, no! Where does this king have the energy to manage Donghai County?"

With that said, he said sincerely again:
"This king is really just thinking, many friends have many paths!"
