Chapter 184 Are You Ambitious?

As for why they should be killed - the enemy won't feel at ease if they stay, and Huo Rong naturally doesn't think that they will always stare at them and let them go, which will arouse suspicion instead.Since it has no value, it should be broken when it is broken.

...Ling Yuan didn't know about it until he got up early the next day.

At the same time, I also received a letter from Guo Jiao.

After reading it, he frowned for a while, and then went to Huo's house with the letter.

After listening to Tong Qi's report on the situation of the assassins, Huo Rong was standing in front of the window sipping tea when he saw Ling Yuan wearing a homely royal blue brocade robe trimmed with silver satin, with suet white jade around his waist, Persevering in fanning Concubine Xiang, he wandered in his courtyard as soon as he entered the door, and Lian Lianshen also walked out of the threshold.

"General Huo really has a good family background." Ling Yuan stopped under the verandah and said.

Huo Rong inexplicably felt that he was a bit unkind, so he smiled: "I'm just a sham, how can it compare to the profound heritage of the Marquis of Wuning?"

Ling Yuan glanced at him and entered the room.After looking around, he sat down again under Huo Rong's guidance.

"Master Hou must have known about what happened last night?" Huo Rong said.

Since he said he wanted to keep Changying's matter a secret, then I believe Shaoqing has already met him to say hello.

Ling Yuan nodded, did not continue on this topic, but said: "I heard that your house is rented?"

Huo Rong raised his eyebrows: "Master Hou is probably interested in my house?"

"I'm sorry." Ling Yuan said indifferently, "You are the young master of the wealthy Huo family, how many people in this world can compete with you?"

The smile on the corner of Huo Rong's mouth stagnated slightly.

Tong Qi Guansu who was in the corridor, and Liang Fengju who just stepped into the courtyard stopped and looked over.

"Not only is the family well-off, but there are also many people." Ling Yuan looked at the courtyard, and said, "The genius doctor in Sichuan, the brilliant retinue, has a lot of ostentation."

Huo Rong picked up the tea.

"Does she know?" Ling Yuan asked again.

"what do you know?"

"Your identity."

Huo Rong didn't comment.

He was not sure how much Ling Yuan knew, it was safer to keep quiet than to speak out.

But Ling Yuan suddenly stopped talking.He finished his tea unhurriedly, and got up unhurriedly.

Huo Rong's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "How do you know?"

Ling Yuan stopped and glanced back coldly: "There is no impenetrable wall in the world, I heard that your house is rented, so I checked it out when I had nothing to do.

"After digging through the layers, I found that a certain accountant who handled this house had even appeared in the transactions under the Huo family's name.

"I checked again, and I heard that the Huo family opened a medicinal material shop in the middle of Sichuan a few years ago-there is no problem, the children of the Liang family must have been friends with you during the Dongningwei period, right?"

Huo Rong was holding the teacup, his face was calm, and he couldn't see any influence.

"It is said that Huo Mingzhai, the Patriarch of the Huo family, has often been ordered to enter the palace these years. I said it is no wonder that General Huo is full of confidence. It turns out that the emperor is relying on him."

Ling Yuan sneered coldly: "A young master of an imperial businessman, who easily never shows up in front of others, but has been in the military camp for several years in private, and a military general who fabricated his identity and was appointed as the third rank, does not look like he is going to inherit the family business at all. .Does General Huo have other ambitions in private?"

Everyone inside and outside the house became silent like stone sculptures.

Ling Yuan would find Huo Rong's identity here, which is really unexpected, but it is reasonable.

He is a majestic Marquis of Wu Ning who is highly valued by the emperor, if he has not found any problems so far, he will be ashamed of his reputation.

Huo Rong held the cup and sat for a while: "A man's ambition is everywhere, even if I have ambition, isn't it normal?"

"Since it's normal, why did you fabricate your life experience?"

Huo Rong stretched his body and exhaled: "Master Hou is curious about me, or about Changying's enemy?"

"Don't gossip about him." Ling Yuan said coldly.

"It's pointless to pursue me. If you really want to know, ask the emperor." Huo Rong looked over in a leisurely manner.

Ling Yuan was really not satisfied with his answer.

But Huo Rong's file was reviewed by the Ministry of War, and if the emperor didn't approve this matter, it wouldn't have happened.

At this time, if you insist on pursuing it, it seems a bit difficult for yourself.

He sat down again and said, "How do you plan to handle the assassin's case?"

"If you can't deal with it, just leave it alone." Huo Rong leaned back in the chair, "It's a fox, there will always be a tail exposed."

For a while, there was only the sound of tea sipping softly in the room.

Although Ling Yuan found out that he was Huo Rong from the Huo family of the imperial merchant, Huo Rong actually felt that this speed was not enough for his due agility of Marquis Wu Ning.

The reason why it took until now to find out and have a showdown with him was because Chang Ying was caught in it.And in the future, he is not sure whether Ling Yuan will find out his most hidden identity.

If Ling Yuan finds out, there is no guarantee that others will also find out.

Judging from all the signs, the person behind it is very likely to be a member of the court. Changying is not involved in politics, but Huo Rong is not only involved in politics, but will also move towards ruling in the future——

Regardless of whether it is public or private, he has to find out the person behind it, and he has to find out whether this person is the fifth master who hurt her back then.

All of this seems to be changed only when he returns to the capital.

Xie Peng asked him to withdraw early, and he suddenly stopped being so repulsive.

……

There is no progress in the assassination matter. After checking here, in fact, everyone who can work hard has already tried hard, and there is no need to entangle.

Even if there is a crisis, it can only play by ear.

The tranquility of Nankangwei gradually dissipated the haze brought about by the assassination incident, and life went back to normal.

When I came back from Xia Ya this day, I suddenly had good news.

Zixiang happily followed Changying into the door: "Song Cheng has already arrived in Huzhou, and he has been in the mansion for two consecutive days to see the children of the clan, and even the prefect of Qi's visit was rejected, but someone said that Song Xueshi was here early this morning. Ask Second Grandma Ning about you, girl!

"It looks like he wants to meet the girl!"

Changying was really happy when he heard it: "Did you talk about the result?"

Song Cheng would ask about her, this is naturally because he talked with Song Yu about the chaos in Hangzhou, since Song Yu has already made a deal with him, it is a good thing.

"It's not clear, but I feel that it's a good result after all, that's why Bachelor Song mentioned the girl frequently."

Zixiang helped her remove the armor, and then briskly changed it for her. "By the way, Master Hou came to Song's house yesterday, and Bachelor Song met him."

In terms of official position, Wu Ninghou is not inferior to Song Yong, and in terms of power, he is not weaker than him. Ling Yuan's weak seniority, it is reasonable to visit him.Song Cheng saw him, and it was also within his affection.

"Girl! Someone from the Song family is here again. This time, Second Grandma sent someone to ask their master to invite the girl to come over to talk about it!"

As soon as he said this, Pan Zhu stepped towards the threshold with joyful voice.

Changying paused for a moment, then immediately changed the homely shirt on her body, and said, "Where's the summer shirt just made?! Bring it here!"
