After hearing what Zhu Niu said, a golden light flashed in Xun Shu's eyes inadvertently.
At this point, Xun Shu finally understood why Fan Xianzi was able to bring the Fan family to a whole new level in a very short period of time.
In fact, in addition to Fan Xianzi's personal ability, external factors are crucial!
After all, based on their original background, although Fan Wenzi also started the business first, after all, as a family that was not so prominent at the beginning, it is now able to be so prominent. This is definitely not the result of just one person.
Achievable.
The current situation of the Xun family is exactly the same as that of the Fan family at that time.
Since the Fan family can flourish with the help of the Dark Walkers, then why shouldn't they?
When Xun Shuo thought about this, he couldn't help but smile and said to Shu Niu:
"Haha, you do have good intentions. But...since you have found me, you must not have come in vain, right? What exactly do you want me to do for you?"
When Zhu Niu heard this, he knew that Xun Shu had agreed, so he bowed again and said:
"Your Excellency is wise! Now, I, the Secret Walkers, do have a difficult matter to deal with. I wonder... Sir Xun, would you like to do something for me?"
"But please rest assured, sir. If this matter can be handled properly, it will be of benefit to you!"
Xun Shuo narrowed his eyes and said:
"Oh? You secret warriors have so many magical powers, but you still have some things that you can't do thoroughly? I... I'm quite interested in hearing about it."
When Shu Niu heard this, he continued:
"It's not too difficult, it just requires you to be able to kill someone."
Xun Shu asked:
"Oh? But who is it?"
I heard Shu Niu say five words extremely viciously:
"Li Ran, Li Ziming!"
Xun Shu was surprised when Shu Niu said this person's name:
"Oh? Isn't this person... now a staff member of Zhao Yang's side? I have heard some things about this person before. It is said that this person is quite talented, but... after all, he is just a young scholar, and before that
There are also many things that go wrong. Why should you be so afraid of this person...?"
But Shu Niu shook his head slightly and said to Xun Shu:
"Your Excellency, you must not underestimate this person! Did your Excellency just forget that in the battle of Jinyang, the Zhao family used a weak opponent to become a strong one?"
"What's more, Zhao Yang is an unlearned and incompetent person, but do you think that this person is now acting steadily and making deadly moves? Even your Excellency, you have been clearly arranged by him. Could it be that, Your Majesty?
He has never considered who is making suggestions for him behind the scenes?"
Hearing Shu Niu say this, Xun Shu thought for a while and couldn't help but nodded slightly:
"Well... what you said is somewhat credible! But... this person is far away in Jinyang now, how can I kill him?"
Zhu Niu smiled slightly and said confidently:
"Why is this so difficult? Now that you want to kill Zhao Yang, how can you be helpless about the staff around him?"
"Your Excellency is in the court now because you want to hold Zhao Yang responsible for his crimes. In my opinion, I'm afraid it won't be easy for you. In this case, why don't you think differently? Wouldn't it be better to remove the fuel from the cauldron?"
When Xun Shu heard this, he seemed a little confused and couldn't help but ask:
"Oh? I do have the idea to expel Zhao Yang from the Jin Kingdom, but... Now that I have the chance to win, how could I miss it? After Zhao Yang is expelled from the Jin Kingdom, why should he worry about the people around him?
Is this a humble Confucian?"
"What Shu Niu said is too alarmist, right?"
When Zhu Niu heard this, he sneered again:
"If your Excellency is really so sure, then why do you need to talk so much with Shu Niu? Your Excellency, time is tight today, and I can't say anything else. Just remember, if you want to control the Jin Kingdom, Li Ran must
Get rid of it first! Otherwise, even if Zhao Yang runs away, there will be no guarantee that trouble will not arise again! Sir, please think about it and be careful!"
After Zhu Niu finished speaking, he cupped his hands and stepped away.
But Xun Shu just stroked his long beard and did not stop him from leaving. He just sat on the seat and thought again...
…
After a few more days, Han Buxin and Wei Chi finally rushed back to Jiangcheng.
As soon as they arrived in Jiangcheng, they immediately visited the Xun Mansion.
Xun Shu knew the purpose of their visit, but he couldn't hide behind closed doors, so he had to receive them in person.
"Ah! You two have just returned to Jiangcheng, but I haven't had time to help you two! You two have worked hard to quell the Zhongxing clan rebellion. I feel very sorry for you!"
When Han Buxin and Wei Chi heard Xun Shu's words, they couldn't help but look at each other. They also knew that Xun Shu was talking with his heart and had no good intentions.
Just listen to Han Buxin speak:
"I don't think you need to say these polite words. The two of us are here today to ask for an explanation!"
Xun Shu pretended to be surprised:
"Oh? But I don't know what to say?"
Wei Chi replied with disdain:
"Hmph! Sir, why are you asking this question knowingly? The Zhongxing clan rebelled, and the Zhao clan stayed alone in Jinyang for a whole month, which is a service to the country. Now the monarch does not reward the Zhao clan, but he actually wants to talk about the Zhao clan's crimes. Xun
Don’t you really know this, sir?”
When Xun Shu heard this, he knew that the two of them were here to accuse the army, but he sneered and replied in a sanctimonious manner:
"Oh, it turns out that you two are here for this matter! Alas... you two don't know something! It's just because Zhao Yang killed Zhao Wu first, and this triggered the Fan Zhongxing clan's rebellion.
This is well known to the people of the country. Therefore, the people of the country want to use the punishment tripod to punish the culprit. This is actually the will of the people and cannot be violated!"
Hearing that Xun Shuo opened his mouth to talk about "the chief culprit" and closed his mouth to talk about "public opinion" made them both feel very uncomfortable.
Han Buxin finally couldn't hold himself back and said to him:
"Hmph! Not to mention other things! Isn't it you, Xun Shu, who really wants to convict Zhao Yang? Why are you just showing off here?"
Han Buxin's remarks were so direct that Xun Shu couldn't help but feel ashamed for a moment.
When Wei Chi saw this, he couldn't help but pull Han Buxin's sleeves to indicate that he shouldn't speak like this. Han Buxin understood, but just looked to the side with an angry look.
At this time, Wei Chi took out another brocade bag from his sleeves, bowed and presented it to Xun Shu with both hands:
"This is a secret letter written by Zhao Zhifu to the Chinese army. Before we left Jinyang, Zhao Zhifu specially asked me to bring it. And neither of us has read the content in it.
Passed. Please also ask the Chinese army to take a look at it after returning home!"
