Qin Huaidao strolled over and his identity was verified. It was time to start a fight between the two tigers and collect some interest. How could he just let it go after he was almost assassinated?
"who?"
The guard at the door shouted and came to stop him. When he saw that it was Qin Huaidao, he quickly bowed: "I have seen Duke Yi, but I don't know why the Duke is here."
"You dare to inquire about my father-in-law's affairs?"
"Don't dare, don't dare!"
"Go and let us know."
"I'll go now, little one. Please wait a moment, sir." The guard quickly agreed and hurried away.
Not long after, a housekeeper came out in a hurry and said with a bow: "The Duke of the State is here. I am sorry for not being able to welcome you from afar. Please follow me into the house. I am waiting in the study."
"Lead the way." Qin Huaidao said calmly, followed into Duke Zhao's Mansion, passed through a courtyard, and walked along the wind and rain corridor. His eyes were filled with flowers, rockeries and flowing water with unique artistic conception, and pavilions and pavilions abound. It is indeed the Mansion of Duke Zhao.
Every detail is "expensive" beyond words.
After walking for a while, I finally came to an independent attic. The butler pushed the door open and said, "Sir, Duke Yi Guo will bring you here."
"Go to work." A voice came.
The butler responded and left on his own.
In the room, Changsun Wuji was sitting on a recliner with a book in his hand and a stove next to him. He had no intention of getting up. He was higher than Qin Huaidao in terms of seniority and official position. Naturally, he couldn't say hello to a junior first. He had no choice but to lose it.
Majesty, waiting for Qin Huaidao to salute and greet him first.
When Qin Huaidao entered the room and saw that he was trying to put on airs and regard himself as an elder, he was already feeling angry and did not show any courtesy. He sat down on the chair across from him, motionless and silent.
The atmosphere in the study suddenly became weird.
After a while, Changsun Wuji saw that Qin Huaidao had no sense of being a junior and could not save his face. He snorted dissatisfied and continued to read, thinking that it was you who came to see me, not you. Let's see who comes first.
Qin Huaidao didn't mind saying hello first, he was a junior after all, but he felt angry, took out the letter and threw it on the table, got up and walked away without saying a word from beginning to end.
"This kid is quite crazy." Changsun Wuji watched Qin Huaidao walk out of the study, his eyes fell on the letter, and he felt a hint of suspicion in his heart. This posture was not like an ordinary visit to establish friendship. He picked up the letter, took out the paper inside and shook it.
, opened, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he jumped up, as if there were thorns under his butt.
The next moment, Changsun Wuji's face turned gloomy, and the hand holding the paper was shaking, as if the thin piece of paper was as heavy as a stone. His mind was spinning, and he rushed out of the study and shouted: "Butler!"
"Sir!" the butler responded from nearby.
"Quickly, please come back, Duke Yi."
"Here!"
The housekeeper didn't know why. Didn't he just leave? But he didn't dare to ask more questions and hurriedly chased out of the house. When he saw Qin Huaidao at the gate, he quickly shouted: "My lord, please stay!"
Qin Huaidao stopped and looked at the other party without saying a word.
The housekeeper rushed up, bowed and said: "My lord, please go back."
Qin Huaidao almost cried out in joy, wasn't he trying to put on a show? He continued to put on a show, turned around and left, saying, "My father-in-law is not free. To the north of Qinjiazhuang, there are good paddy fields along the Weihe River."
The housekeeper was a little confused, what did he mean by this? Seeing that Qin Huaidao was determined to leave, he had no choice but to return to the study in a hurry, bowed and said: "Master, Duke Yi Guo left, leaving behind a meaningless sentence."
"What are you talking about?" Changsun Wuji asked, his voice a little nervous.
The housekeeper glanced at Changsun Wuji in surprise, but did not dare to ask more questions, and said truthfully: "Gong Yi Guo said that the paddy fields on the Weihe River to the north of Qinjiazhuang are good, and then left, and walked very resolutely. That paddy field is
It’s in our house.”
Changsun Wuji waved his hand to signal the butler to leave. As he savored these words, he gradually realized something. His eyes became a little colder, and he murmured to himself: "Boy, you are so scheming."
The next moment, Changsun Wuji hurriedly left the mansion and came to the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace.
The prince came out of the house to greet him with all manners. He led him to the study and made tea himself. He asked eagerly: "Uncle, you must have something to do so late?"
"Is there something you are hiding from me?" Changsun Wuji asked bluntly, his eyes slightly focused, staring at the prince's expression without blinking, trying to see through something.
The prince kept moving his hands and chuckled as if nothing was wrong: "What did uncle say? Why does it sound weird?"
"Then look at what this is?" The matter was so important that Changsun Wuji stopped talking nonsense and threw the letter on the table.
The prince took a look at it curiously, his eyes twitched, his face turned ugly, and he asked: "Where did this come from? Uncle, someone wants to frame me!"
"Where is Changsun Li?" Changsun Wuji asked coldly.
"I went to Mobei on business. There is a batch of goods that needs to be watched. Others are worried. You know this batch of goods. It must be the Fourth. This bastard wants to frame me." The prince yelled hurriedly.
Changsun Wuji is so shrewd. How could he not see that the prince is lying? He wishes he could give him a slap. But he is the prince after all. There is a distinction between superiors and subordinates. No one will be able to show off when there is a quarrel. Thinking of all the efforts he has made over the years, he has fallen behind.
Betrayed, I suddenly felt sad, and with some other thoughts on my mind, I stood up and said, "In that case, let's settle this matter by ourselves."
After saying that, Changsun Wuji turned and left, walking very quickly, as if he was running away from something.
The prince raised his hand to stop, but did not say anything. He watched Changsun Wuji leave with a cold expression on his face: "Fourth, since you have done everything right, don't blame me. Let's wait and see."
Changsun Wuji hurried back to the house and called Changsun Chong. The father and son chatted in the study for half an hour. No one knew what they talked about. After that, Changsun Chong found the housekeeper and took the land deed and hurried out of the house. First, he went to the Chang'an County Government Office.
Then go straight to the Yiguo Duke's Mansion.
The guard guarding the gate knew Chang Sun Chong, so he led him directly to the backyard without asking any questions.
In a pavilion in the backyard, Qin Huaidao was chatting with He'er, Xue Rengui and his wife about how to sell fairy fruits. A fire was burning next to it, and there was a roasted lamb on the fire, and the aroma was wafting.
The guard stepped forward: "Young Master, the eldest grandson has arrived!"
"Come here, come and have something to eat." Qin Huaidao stood up to greet him, waving his hand to signal the guards to leave.
Changsun Chong stepped forward quickly and handed over a land deed, saying at the same time: "Master Qin left something at the house. My father asked me to deliver it. Didn't you disturb my dear brother?"
Qin Huaidao took it and saw that it was a land deed. It was a paddy field to the north of Qinjiazhuang, including the nearby mountains, totaling 1,200 acres. This was the hush money, and the move was sincere.
Assassinating the prince of the dynasty is tantamount to rebellion. If Changsun Wuji is really investigated, he will have to shed his skin even if he does not die. Qin Huaidao understood and said with a smile: "Thank you for sending it back, brother, then I will be fine."
Changsun Chong understood the implication, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "My father said that he has always respected General Qin and hoped that the two families would travel more in the future. He also said that it would be rainy and windy in the future, so let him do it."
Qin Huaidao also understood immediately that Changsun Wuji might have discovered some unfavorable factors and was planning to cut ties with Donggong and withdraw. However, this old fox was very vigilant. He would take advantage if there was any advantage and retreat decisively if there was no advantage. He had learned the essence of self-preservation.
But it has nothing to do with myself.
It was beneficial to him to have a good relationship between the two families, and it could also stimulate the fight between the crown prince and the king of Wei. This was in line with the intended goal, so he smiled and said, "Brother, please pay me a visit. You and I will have more contact in the future."
Changsun Chong was completely relieved when he heard this and said with a smile: "That's great. I'll go back first. When are you free to let us know and have a meal together?"
"Okay, when the time comes, I will make a gift to my brother!"
Qin Huaidao sent Changsun Chong out of the house and was in a good mood. It didn't matter whether Changsun Wuji was showing weakness to confuse him or whether he really cut off from the East Palace. Because with the handle in hand, Changsun Wuji didn't dare to mess around. Moreover, this handle can be used
many years.
When he returned to the backyard, He'er asked curiously: "Why did the eldest grandson leave?"
"Don't worry about him, the meat is cooked, let's eat!" Qin Huaidao said with a smile, even the name of the 1,200 acres of land has been changed. This sincerity is good, and it is worth the shock of being ambushed.
It’s time for the prince to take action next. I wonder what method he will use?
Qin Huaidao had some expectations, but he couldn't do it if he couldn't exchange for a thousand acres of high-quality paddy fields.
Make a fuss, make a fuss, the bigger the better.
It’s so delicious to reap the benefits of being a fisherman!
