Chaos is always unsettling, because the Fang family banned all ships from leaving the port, and the guests and merchants who were forced to stay in Yingzhou were very dissatisfied.
But he didn't dare to resist due to the power of the Fang family. Rumors spread all over the city for a while, and even those people in the world who were recruited by the Fang family became a little restless.
In just one day, compared with the previous singing and dancing, Yingzhou City seemed to be a completely different world.
The whole city was filled with armored and armed men patrolling back and forth. Ordinary people hid in their inns and did not dare to come out. The streets became much more deserted and solemn.
The guests stranded in the inn were full of resentments, and some of them had bad tempers, and some had conflicts with the patrollers.
It gives people a vague feeling that a storm is coming.
Huo Shan was also very agitated, and the faint pain in his heart seemed to remind him not to act rashly.
What happened last night made him feel even more uneasy. Who is this Young Master Dongfang who suddenly appears and goes against the Fang family?
Who is the spy hidden in the Fang family?
If he originally had any hope in the plans of the Fang family and the Cao family, now he really doesn't have even half a point left. How can he accomplish anything if he is being teased around before he even started?
"Uncle, there is a Mr. Shen who I said is your good friend. I have been waiting for you for a long time." He stepped into the mansion with a heavy heart, and the servants came forward to report.
"No!" Huo Shan said in a depressed mood.
After a moment, he came to his senses and stopped the person who was about to leave: "Wait a minute, his surname is Shen?"
The servant said: "Yes, he said he came from Qingzhou and now lives in Fang Mansion."
Huo Shan was silent for a moment and said, "Please come to the study to see me."
After a while, Huo Shan saw Shen Sui in the study.
Because Fang Yuan's death was sudden, Huo Shan did not meet with Shen Sui to reminisce about the past this time. Seeing Shen Sui, Huo Shan said angrily: "The head of the family has disliked everyone these days. If you come here like this, you won't be afraid that he will suspect the Cao family."
Doing trouble in private?"
Shen Sui smiled and said: "Don't worry, I reported it to the head of the Fang family and it was done openly."
"For what?" Huo Shan asked.
Shen Sui said: "Father will stay in Yingzhou for a few more days. I have been ordered to help you investigate what happened last night."
Huo Shan looked at him and said, "You know what I'm going to ask again."
Shen Sui was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, I have a question for you."
"you say."
Shen Sui said: "Is Fang Yuan's death related to the Zhenguo Army?"
Huo Shan was stunned, "Why do you think so?"
Shen Sui stared into his eyes steadily, then slowly moved away after a moment and said: "It's nothing, I just think... it's strange that Fang Yuan was killed. He was just the adopted son of the head of the Fang family. Although his errands were important, if there were any
He doesn’t have much real power. The man surnamed Dongfang has no enmity with him, so why not kill the son of the head of the Fang family?"
Huo Shan raised his eyes and looked at him, "So, the court discovered us?"
Shen Sui frowned and said: "Father is worried about this, but the news from Cao Jie shows that everything is normal in Shangyong. The court is currently busy with the funeral of the Empress Dowager and it is impossible to make any big noise at this time. The regent, Wei Changting,
Gu Jue and others are all in Shangyong, Luo Yun and his son are here except Luo Jinyan who went to Huaizhou, and the other generals of the Zhenguo Army and Dingguo Army are at the border and have no action. Logically speaking...the court should not have discovered anything."
"Then what are you worried about?" Huo Shan asked.
Shen Sui shook his head and said: "I don't know, I just feel uneasy in my heart. Maybe it's because Fang Yuan died too suddenly."
Huo Shandao: "Now is not the time to think wildly. Since you are here to help, just tell me what you think. This person has made Yingzhou and Fang family so upset, but we have never even seen each other's clothes. The head of the family asked I’m looking for a traitor, where do you think I should start?”
"Who in the Fang family is most likely to be a traitor?" Shen Sui asked.
Huo Shan sneered and said, "That's a lot." When Fang Changyun succeeded to the throne, he cleaned up the people in the Fang family who were dissatisfied with him, but to be honest, this person was not very suitable to be the head of the family, and now there are people who are dissatisfied with Fang Changyun. It's no less than it was back then.
This is also why Fang Changyun is uneasy about being the local emperor and must get involved in the affairs of the Cao family. In addition to his own ambitions, it is also because without the help of the Cao family, he might have been overthrown long ago.
"Who does the Fang family leader most want to be the traitor?" Shen Sui asked.
The smile on Huo Shan's face faded, and he said after a while: "Fang Yan."
Shen Sui said: "Then check him."
"Didn't Master Cao send you to help?" Huo Shan said.
Regardless of whether Fang Yan was a traitor or not, even if he was, Shen Sui's attitude did not seem like he was sincerely helping.
Shen Sui chuckled lightly, looked at Huo Shan and said, "Is it possible that you and Fang Changyun have developed feelings over the years? Or are you still reluctant to part with your wife who just gave birth to a son for you?"
Huo Shan remained calm and silent. Shen Sui stood up, patted Huo Shan on the shoulder and said, "Fang Changyun has become more and more arrogant in recent years. He seems to have forgotten that it was his father who helped him become the head of the family."
Huo Shan frowned and said: "Now a big event is coming. Mr. Cao, this is..."
Shen Sui said: "It is because big things are about to happen that we need to clear our worries. Fang Changyun is capricious, suspicious and fickle. How can he rest assured if he leaves his behind to his father?"
"What do you want, Master Cao?" Huo Shan said.
Shen Sui said: "Forcing Fang Yan to take action against Fang Changyun, doesn't Dongfang want Yingzhou? It depends on whether he will stand by and watch, or he can't help but jump out and snatch it."
"Aren't you afraid that stealing the chicken will end up losing the rice? After all, this is Yingzhou, the territory of the Fang family." Huo Shan lowered his eyes and said.
Shen Sui chuckled lightly and said: "Whether it is Fang or Cao, you will know when you get it. At least, you should know the surnames of the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses on the island."
Huo Shan nodded and said, "I understand."
Fang Changyun was a fool who was played around by Cao Mian from beginning to end. He spent his own money to help the Cao family raise troops. Although Fang Changyun had inserted many of his own people there in the past few years, since Shen Sui was so confident...
Shen Sui smiled with satisfaction and said, "That's good. Don't worry, the Cao family won't treat you badly after everything is done."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Cao Mian wants you to check Fang Yan?" After receiving the news from Huo Shan, Gu Jue quickly went to see him in person.
Gu Jue was also very satisfied with Huo Shan's knowledge and interest.
Gu Jue would never believe the traitor, so Huo Shan's every move after they left the Huo family was watched. If Huo Shan dared to conceal the fact that he met Shen Sui, Gu Jue would never let him go. his.
Seeing that Gu Jue's expression was calm and showed no signs of surprise, Huo Shan lowered his eyes and said, "Yes, the Cao family wants to provoke an internal fight between Fang Yan and Fang Changyun."
Gu Jue raised his eyebrows and said, "This is interesting. At this time, Cao Mian wants to cause the Fang family to fight within themselves? What does he think?"
Huo Shan raised his eyes and looked at Gu Jue but hesitated to speak. Gu Jue said: "It's okay, just say it."
Huo Shandao: "I think what Shen Sui means, the Cao family may have put a lot of spies in the Fang family. Fang Yan has been very peaceful these years, why does Cao Mian think that he has the ability to fight Fang Changyun?"
Gu Jue is also thinking about this problem. Maybe...Cao Mian also knows that Fang Yan is not that simple?
Maybe even Fang Yan's actions were under Cao Mian's surveillance? Or is Fang Yan himself Cao Mian's person?
If so... Fang Yan's cooperation with them...
No, Cao Mian was responsible for the death of Fang Yan's father back then. Fang Yan probably wouldn't have cooperated with Cao Mian.
That is, Cao Mian deliberately allowed Fang Yan to deal with Fang Changyun when necessary.
In this way, the ending that Cao Mian wrote for Fang Yan must be that he and Fang Changyun died together.
Huo Shan looked at Gu Jue and asked, "Where is Fang Yan...how should my subordinates deal with it?"
Gu Jue's thoughts changed and he said: "Then just follow the Cao family's instructions. It will also be good for us if Fang Yan and Fang Changyun start a fight."
"Yes." Huo Shan responded in a low voice, "I wonder what General Gu knows about Mr. Dongfang?"
Gu Jue said: "I have been in Shangyong for half a year, and I have never heard of such a person in Shangyong."
Huo Shan was stunned when he heard this, and said: "But, this person..." There was such a big commotion last night, this Dongfang Young Master is obviously real.
Gu Jue is from the regent's palace. He must not be well-informed about Shang Yong. How could he not have heard of this man?
Gu Jue sneered and said: "The so-called Young Master Dongfang, isn't it the Cao family who is talking about it from beginning to end? It was Cao Jie who first discovered that he had killed Fang Shuo, and it was only after Cao Mian arrived in Yingzhou that this man appeared. Who knows if this young master’s surname is actually Dongfang?”
Huo Shan was silent. He actually had some doubts about whether the Dongfang Master had something to do with Gu Jue and others.
But after hearing what Gu Jue said, he was a little unsure.
After all, there is really no need for the imperial court or the regent's palace to invent a so-called descendant of the previous dynasty.
On the contrary, the Cao family...
Shen Sui has never trusted him, and Huo Shan has always known it, but this does not mean that he will not be unhappy.
"Do I need to tell Fang Changyun this news?" Huo Shan said.
Gu Jue smiled and said: "Cao Mian should have convinced Fang Changyun, he will not believe it. Now the Cao family should tie this so-called Dongfang Young Master and Fang Yan together, forcing Fang Yan and Fang Changyun to fight among themselves."
Gu Jue suddenly understood the intentions of the Cao family. Cao Mian should also suspect that Fang Yan was related to them, and wanted to kill two birds with one stone to force Young Master Dongfang out.
Even if he guessed wrong, there would be no loss. He was going to get rid of Fang Changyun and Fang Yan.
However, at this juncture of imminent rebellion, why on earth did Cao Mian want to instigate civil strife in the Fang family?
If the Fang family kills each other, it's hard to say how many of the 60,000 soldiers and horses he can take away.
After coming out of the Huo family, Gu Jue changed hands and asked someone to tell Fang Yan the news about the Cao family, and also warned him to be careful about the informants around him.
As a result, the atmosphere within the entire Fang family became increasingly tense.
On the outside, everything seems to be peaceful, but inside, many people are already tense and feel on the verge of breaking out.
On the evening of the next day, the Fang family received news that a group of mysterious people suddenly appeared and attacked the lookout point at the southwest corner of Yingzhou Island where some troops were stationed.
The leader among them is a teenage boy in white clothes holding a carved ivory folding fan.
After hearing the news, Fang Changyun was naturally furious and immediately sent troops to encircle and suppress them.
However, in the middle of the night, explosions occurred one after another in several places not far from that place, giving a vague feeling that the other party was trying to seize the island by force.
The roar of the explosion could be heard in Yingzhou City. For a moment, the entire Yingzhou City was in panic.
Fang Changyun had no choice but to send more people and ordered them to catch all the daring ones.
Early the next morning, when the sky was just getting dark, the Cao family's ship docked at the port was damaged by someone. Although it did not sink directly, it would definitely not be able to sail again in a short time.
In the afternoon of the same day, the waterways, institutions and people stationed around Yingzhou Island were all attacked.
News came from outside that there was a large fleet heading towards Yingzhou in the sea area not far from Yingzhou, which seemed to mean that the visitors were evil.
At this time, the Fang family was also in chaos, because Fang Changyun ordered the investigation of the traitor, which already caused dissatisfaction among many people in the Fang family.
At this time, people's hearts were even more disorganized, and some people had already stood behind Fang Yan, saying that if the head of the family was unable to take charge of the Fang family, they would abdicate and make way for others.
How could Fang Changyun be able to endure it?
Regardless of whether there was evidence or not, Huo Shan was directly ordered to arrest Fang Yan first.
Naturally, Fang Yan would not surrender. A large number of people who were dissatisfied with Fang Changyun gathered together to spread the word that Fang Changyun had colluded with the Cao family to betray the interests of the seller's family.
Over the years, Fang Changyun has acted arbitrarily and unpopularly.
Now that something like this has happened, there are naturally many people who oppose him.
Before anything happened outside, the Fang family themselves started to make trouble.
As a last resort, Fang Changyun could only mobilize all the soldiers and horses on the island to maintain stability everywhere.
If it hadn't been for today, people who have lived in Yingzhou for generations would not have known that there were so many soldiers and horses on Yingzhou Island.
The merchants hiding in the inn were even more panicked. The Fang family secretly hoarded so many soldiers and horses. Did they want to occupy the land and rebel against the king?

Many people were on the verge of tears: Why did they have to come all the way to attend a birthday banquet?
While the city was in chaos, Luo Junyao was sitting in the courtyard of an inn in the city, drinking tea leisurely.
Tantai Feng looked at the girl in front of him who was holding a teacup and drinking tea with great interest, and said: "It's so chaotic outside, isn't Yaoyao afraid?"
Luo Junyao smiled and said, "I'm not afraid as Sister Tantai is here."
Tantai Feng said with a smile: "I am also a guest. This is the Fang family's territory and the South China Sea is thousands of miles away, but I may not be able to protect you."
Luo Jun said: "I believe in Sister Tantai."
Tantai Feng smiled and said nothing, looking at the deep eyes of the girl in front of him.
After a change of environment, she realized that this little sister she had just met for two days was not as simple as she thought.
Thinking of this, Tantai Feng raised his head and glanced at the girl in green sitting on the wall not far away, and asked: "Wouldn't that girl come down and have a cup of tea?"
Hearing her mentioning herself, Qin Yao'er turned back to look at the two of them, tilting her head in confusion with an innocent look on her face.
"..." This one seems simpler.
Luo Junyao said: "She likes high places, sister, don't worry about her."
Tantai Feng nodded thoughtfully.
The noise outside became louder and louder, and Luo Jun said, "It seems like there's a fight."
Tantai Feng listened attentively and said: "A fight has indeed begun. Yingzhou has been uneasy these past few days. Should I have someone send you back?"
Luo Junyao raised his eyes and smiled and said, "Sister, are you going to drive me away?"
Tantai Feng was speechless. Just as he was about to say something, a man walked in quickly and whispered a few words in Tantai Feng's ear.
Tantai Feng frowned slightly and said with some displeasure: "If you ask him to go back, just say that we have no intention of interfering in the affairs of the north."
The man nodded, turned around and walked out.
But he stopped when he reached the door and said displeasedly: "Mr. Cao, our boss didn't invite you in!"
A tall and straight man has appeared at the door, "Tantai Island Master, excuse me."
The person who came was none other than Shen Sui, the traitor who once suppressed the secret camp of the National Army, and Cao Ying, the illegitimate son of Cao Mian, the current Marquis of Wen Ding.
Tantai Feng said coldly: "Since I know that I am disturbing you, Mr. Cao please come back."
Shen Sui didn't care about Tantai Feng's displeasure and said: "I should have come to visit Tantai Island Master earlier, but I have suddenly been neglectful in the past few days. Please don't blame me."
Before he finished speaking, Shen Sui's eyes flickered, and then he noticed the girl sitting on the side drinking tea with her eyes lowered.
"Who is this?"
Tantai Feng said lightly: "This is my new little girl, what's wrong? Mr. Cao even wants to take care of this?"
Shen Sui smiled and said: "I don't dare, it's just that in special times it's better to be more cautious."
Tantai Feng was a little impatient and said coldly: "I have told you that I am not interested in your affairs. What should you be cautious about? Mr. Cao, please come back."
Her attitude was obviously expected by Shen Sui. His eyes darkened and he said, "Really? Isn't it possible that the owner of Tantai Island is not interested in Fishtail Island either?"
"Cao Ying!" These words obviously offended Tantai Feng. She stood up suddenly and stared at Shen Sui coldly.
Shen Sui took a few steps back, with a somewhat guarded but comforting tone on his face, "Island Master, calm down, as I said before, as long as the Island Master comes to help, Guidao's difficulties will definitely be solved."
Tantai Feng sneered and said: "They say that Marquis Wen Ding is a gentleman, but people in the world are really blind."
Shen Sui was neither angry nor upset, and said: "So, the island owner agrees?"
Tantai Feng said nothing with a cold face.
A crisp voice sounded nearby, "I'm afraid it won't work."
