Poor Family Laity

  Chapter 395, Cooperation

   "Why do you still have contacts with Dongfanghong?"

  Chu Yao came out of the palace, and from a distance, he saw Dongfang Changhong standing in front of the carriage of Prince Rong's mansion, talking with Shi Fuxin.

  Shi Fuxin waited for Chu Yao to get into the carriage, then gave him the hand warmer, and then said, "Do you know Dongfanghong's background?"

Chu Yao said 'hmm': "He is an ancestor of the Duke of Ming Dynasty, he should be called Dongfang Changhong, and he is of the same generation as Dongfang Changqing, but in order to conceal his identity, he gave away the long character in his name. .”

  Shi Fuxin: "No more?"

  Chu Yao looked at Shi Fuxin: "Why, does he have other identities?"

  Shi Fuxin: "He is the leader of the Sea Turtle Gang, and the pirate who fell down with the sixth prince is his younger brother Dongfang Changfeng."

  Chu Yao's face suddenly became serious: "How do you know this?"

  Shi Fuxin smiled lightly: "You have your means, I have mine."

  Chu Yao looked at Shi Fuxin, he knew that Shiliu’s sources of information were mainly obtained from the cigarette bag, but Dongfang Changhong’s situation was that the Supervision Department did not find out, and he did not believe that the cigarette bag was more powerful than the Supervision Department.

  So Shiliu has other sources of news.

   "You told me this, you want me to do something?"

  Shi Fuxin smiled and put her arms around Chu Yao's arm: "The one who knows me is my husband." As she said that, her face became serious, "I discovered something. The Duke of Ming should have taken refuge in the crown prince."

  Hearing the news, Chu Yao was shocked and shocked.

   What was shocking was that Shi Liu knew more news than he, the commander of the Supervision Department; what was shocking was that the Ming government had always been a neutral faction since the Taizu, and had never participated in such a thing as taking refuge in the prince.

"are you sure?"

  Shi Fuxin shook her head: "I don't have evidence, but I trust my intuition, you can find a way to investigate."

  Although he didn't get a definite answer, Chu Yao still kept this matter in his heart and planned to send the secret guards to investigate after returning home.

  Shi Fuxin looked at Chu Yao: "If the Duke of Ming Dynasty has really taken refuge in the crown prince, Dongfang Changhong will most likely be asked to serve the crown prince."

   "At the palace banquet, Dongfang Changhong talked happily with Hu Xinrui and Du Zixuan, and they all came from the South China Sea, so they are naturally closer than other forces in the capital."

   "The three of them, one has a ship, one has food, and the other has a transportation channel. If they are united, it will be a very terrifying force."

  Shi Fuxin grasped Chu Yao's arm tightly: "We can't let Dongfang Changhong be used by the prince."

  Chu Yao looked at Shi Fuxin: "Aren't you worrying too much? Both Hu Xinrui and Du Zixuan are shrewd people, and they may not join forces with Dongfang Changhong."

  Shi Fuxin shook her head: "Dongfang Changhong came to me just now, trying to win me over. Do you know what reason he is using?"

  Chu Yao didn't speak.

  Shi Fuxin: "He is under the banner of being the successor of the Long family."

  Chu Yao was stunned: "You mean Hu Xinrui and Du Zixuan are"

  Shi Fuxin nodded: "I guess, both the Hu family and the Du family are descendants of the Long family. Otherwise, with the shrewdness of Hu Xinrui and Du Zixuan, it would be impossible for them to be as speculative as Dongfang Changhong, who they have only known for a long time."

   "Didn't you see that at the palace banquet, the three people's words and smiles were completely devoid of the hypocrisy and politeness among businessmen, and the joy of finding their family exuded from their bodies."

  Chu Yao was a little stunned: "I didn't expect you to observe people so carefully."

  Shi Fuxin smiled, and pointed to her eyes: "People who practice martial arts have very strong eyesight." Mainly because of the blessing of spiritual power, she can clearly see everyone's micro-expressions.

   "I have also heard a lot of rumors about the descendants of the Long family. I know that they are very convinced of Queen Wende. After Queen Wende is dead, that belief is likely to be transferred to the Dongfang family."

   "It is very difficult for others to win over Hu Xinrui and Du Zixuan, but Dongfang Changhong, who is a junior of the Dongfang family, has a great opportunity."

  Chu Yao frowned: "If this is the case, then we can only get rid of Dongfang Changhong."

  Shi Fuxin shook her head again: "No, this is not the best way."

   "The reason why the Duke of Ming was able to ask Dongfang Changhong to work for the prince is because of the honor of the Dongfang family, but if you let him know that the family he has been working for killed his younger brother, what do you think he will do?"

  Chu Yao's eyes lit up.

Shi Fuxin looked at Chu Yao with a smile: "Since Dongfang Changhong entered Beijing, he has been investigating the cause of his brother's death. Isn't Dongfang Changfeng's body always in the Supervision Department? Dongfang Changhong will spy on the Supervision Department in all likelihood. , you arrange the guards to be more relaxed and let him see his younger brother."

   "People from the Dongfang family must be more familiar with the methods of the Dongfang family. The poison in Dongfang Changfeng is not common. Maybe we don't need to do anything to completely tear Dongfang Changhong and the Duke of Ming."

  Chu Yao: "However, even without Dongfang Changhong, the Duke of Ming Dynasty can send other people to win over the Hu family and the Du family."

  Shi Fuxin shook her head: "No, other members of the Dongfang family cannot replace Dongfang Changhong."

   "Hu Xinrui and Du Zixuan came to Beijing at about the same time as my family, but they have never actively contacted the Ming Dynasty Duke's Mansion in these years. It can be seen that they have been watching the Ming Kingdom Mansion."

"The reason why Dongfang Changhong can lower the vigilance of Hu Xinrui and Du Zixuan is that Dongfang Changhong is from the South China Sea. I think the three of them should have cooperated long ago. Even if there is no cooperation, because they are both in the South China Sea, they probably know each other's existence. I have some understanding of the other party's style."

   "Because of understanding, you can better control risks."

   "Secondly, it's a matter of identity."

   "Dongfang Changhong is a businessman, and businessmen communicate with each other. This is what the Hu family and Du family often do, so they won't worry too much."

   "But if you are facing other members of the Dongfang family, then your identities will not be equal. The Duke of Ming Dynasty is a dignitary, and the Hu family and Du family are businessmen. Facing the dignitaries, businessmen are naturally at a disadvantage."

   "I have heard that the descendants of the Long family have been suppressed and persecuted by the powerful."

  Chu Yao was silent for a while: "If Dongfang Changhong is really spying on the Supervision Department, I will let him in."

  Seeing that Chu Yao gave the desired answer, Shi Fuxin smiled brightly: "By the way, we can't stop looking for the wild man behind the Queen Mother."

  Chu Yao looked at her: "It may not be a good thing for the eldest prince to overthrow the prince if the emperor is still in good health."

  Shi Fuxin was silent: "Do you want to hear me tell the truth, or lie?"

  Chu Yao was stunned for a moment, wondering why Shi Fuxin suddenly said such a sentence, although he didn't understand it, it didn't prevent him from speaking: "Of course it's the truth."

  Shi Fuxin walked up with her hands behind her back: "The reason why I am so active in trying to bring down the prince's party is because I have already completely torn face with the prince's party. If they don't fall, I may be in trouble at any time."

   "The reason why you are doing it for the eldest prince is only a little bit of the reason." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pinched his index finger in a gesture of 'a little bit'.

  Chu Yao looked at Shi Fuxin in astonishment, he always thought that Shi Liu and the prince were enemies because of the eldest prince.

  Shi Fuxin walked in front of Chu Yao: "What the eldest prince wants to do, he has to take the initiative. As his master, I can provide some resources and help from the side, but I will definitely not rush to the forefront for him."

  Chu Yao: ".In this case, don't tell the eldest prince, he will have an idea."

  Shi Fuxin snorted and laughed: "Why, just because I am his master, should I burn myself to fulfill him? What a beautiful idea!"

  Chu Yao looked at Shi Fuxin, a little lost in thought.

  From the perspective of the ethics of the ruler as the minister, Shi Liu's ideas are undoubtedly very out of the ordinary, even if it is based on the relationship between master and apprentice, it is also contrary to the ethics of family affection.

   But looking at Shi Liu who dismissed all these things, he felt that she was so vivid and real.

  Dongfang Changhong didn't trust Shi Fuxin, but he also didn't trust the Duke of Ming Dynasty, so on the fifth day after the Winter Solstice Palace banquet, Dongfang Changhong personally visited the Supervision Department with a few confidants at night.

  Because of Chu Yao's release of water, Dongfang Changhong successfully entered the ice cellar and saw Dongfang Changfeng smoothly.

   Indeed, as Shi Fuxin said, my family knows about my family affairs, and Dongfang Changhong, who is the head of the Dongfang family in Nanhai, knows about the poison that Dongfang Changqing has been wearing all the time.

  The poison in Dongfang Changfeng was bought by members of the Dongfang family from the Western Regions at a high price, and the throat was sealed with blood!

Dongfang Changhong looked at his dead younger brother silently, and the hatred and anger towards the Duke of Ming's mansion were rising in his heart. If there was not a trace of reason remaining, he really wanted to rush to the Duke of Ming's mansion to take Dongfang. Changqing's life!

   After standing in the ice cellar for more than two quarters of an hour, Dongfang Changhong left with a sullen face.

  As soon as he left, Chu Yao received the news, and then told Shi Fuxin.

  When Shi Fuxin found out, the corners of her mouth curled up.

  Dongfang Changfeng died in the middle, and she didn't believe that Dongfang Changhong would still work for the Duke of Ming.

   Sure enough, three days later, Shi Fuxin went to Hongyanxiao to check the account book, and was told by the maid that Dongfang Changhong was waiting for her in the private room as soon as she entered the store.

   "Boss Dongfang has something to do with me?"

  Looking at Shi Fuxin who walked in with a smile on his face, Dongfang Changhong straight to the point straight to the point: "You told me about Chang Feng's death that day, did you want to cooperate with me?"

   "Okay, I promise you, I will deal with the Duke of Ming Dynasty together with you."

  After hearing this, Shi Fuxin shook her head: "Boss Dongfang misunderstood me. I am a businessman and I don't like to be involved in power struggles."

  Dongfang Changhong became angry at once: "Are you playing with me?"

  Shi Fuxin: "Don't be so excited, listen to me."

   "We are businessmen, businessmen. Of course, we are engaged in a business war and directly head-to-head with the powerful. Even if it is an iron head, it is estimated that the head will be broken."

After hearing this, Dongfang Changhong calmed down, after a little thought, he understood Shi Fuxin's meaning, and immediately looked at her: "It's no wonder that Hall Master Shi has laid down such a large family in just ten years. Ye, you are trying to kill two birds with one stone."

  Minggong Mansion is attached by merchants, killing these merchants is equivalent to killing the wallet of Ming Guogong Mansion.

   Next, the prince has the support of the imperial merchants to interfere with the business of these imperial merchants, and he can also indirectly deal with the Ming government.

  Shi Fuxin smiled: "A person's energy is limited. Every time I attack, of course it is necessary to gain the greatest benefit with the smallest effort."
