Wang Tingxiang and Hu Zongxian naturally know each other, they are about the same age, but they have embarked on two completely different paths. Hu Zongxian embarked on the road of leading troops. And Wang Tingxiang embarked on the noble road of imperial envoy.

Hu Zongxian calmly looked at Wang Tingxiang who was standing opposite, with pale hair, pale face, and a dirty cotton jacket, naturally he would not let Hu Zongxian show the true colors of a generation of governors. Not to mention a generation of governors, it is a generation of emperors, if they are in the current situation, they will not look like an emperor, let alone Hu Zongxian?

However, Hu Zongxian did not have a trace of fear, let alone a look of pity.

Calm!

Only calm!

Wang Tingxiang is also a very person, he has been an official for decades, and he has personally run dozens of officials, and his prestige has long been raised. However, when he met Hu Zongxian's calm gaze, his heart still couldn't help but tremble. calmed down his mood, stepped forward, and personally supported Hu Zongxian and said:

"Brother Hu, sit down first."

Hu Zongxian did not refuse, under the support of Wang Tingxiang, he fell on the chair, Wang Tingxiang sat opposite him, poured a cup of tea for Hu Zongxian with his own hands, Hu Zongxian picked up the teaglass, drank it all, put down the teacup, and looked at Wang Tingxiang calmly.

Wang Tingxiang picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Hu Zongxian, but this time Hu Zongxian didn't drink it, just calmly looked at Wang Tingxiang who was sitting opposite.

Wang Tingxiang sighed and said, "Brother Hu, Jinyiwei didn't embarrass you, right?" ”

Hu Zongxian didn't speak, nor did he make any extra movements, still calmly looking at Wang Tingxiang opposite. Wang Tingxiang's face did not show the slightest embarrassment, as if Fang Cai's words were just polite, and he did not point at Hu Zongxian to answer.

"Brother Hu, don't you wonder why I left Beijing and stopped you here?"

Hu Zongxian still calmly looked at Wang Tingxiang opposite, and Wang Tingxiang said solemnly: "Because as long as you arrive in the capital, I'm afraid you will die in the prison inexplicably before the trial begins." ”

Hu Zongxian's calm gaze fluctuated slightly, but then he regained his composure and didn't say a word.

A hint of sarcasm appeared in Wang Tingxiang's eyes: "Brother Hu, you are also an understanding person. Understand the truth that people do not destroy the heavens and the earth for their own sake. Now someone reckons against your past crimes, but your past crimes threaten the big people in the court today, and you have to die for the future of that big man. ”

Hu Zongxian lowered his eyes, as if he wanted to hide the uneasiness in his eyes, but his breathing became rapid and he couldn't hide it.

"Brother Hu, since others have already started to kill, why do you stick to it? Bear the sin of thousands of people alone? ”

"Whether I was scolded by 10,000 people, what you said doesn't count." Hu Zongxian raised his eyelids and looked directly at Wang Tingxiang and said:

"Maybe after I die, you will be the ones who will be spit on by ten thousand people."

Wang Tingxiang shook his head and said: "People die like lights going out, you are not alone, once you fight these crimes alone, your family will be implicated, how can you bear it?"

Not to mention......

There are many crimes, you are carrying the black pot for others, why are you bothering? ”

Hu Zongxian lowered his eyelids again and stopped talking.

"Brother Hu, to be able to arrest you means to have your real evidence. Not to mention your corruption and bribery, we also know that you occupy half of the Daming Sea Trade, and we know that someone occupies more of the shares.

Who are you?

You are officials of the Ming Dynasty, and you are in a high position. But you are in the same league with the merchants, and what are the merchants giving you for? Isn't it to embezzle the interests of the city?

You are moths, eating the national capital of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Hu Zongxian frowned slightly, of course it is true that he occupies the part of Daming Haimao, and it is of course true that Luo Xin occupies more, but neither of them has a real identity within Daming Haimao, Hu Zongxian knows that Luo Xin is the identity of Daming Haimao obtained by investing in the car and horse trade.

If Wang Tingxiang can get the real evidence, it will definitely alarm the carriage and horses, and it is impossible for Luo Xin not to know the news. In this way, this is just a speculation in the hearts of Wang Tingxiang, or they have heard some rumors, and there is absolutely no conclusive evidence. That is to say, they still don't know that the boss behind the car and horse shop is Luo Xin. Thinking of this, Hu Zongxian's heart jumped, the real target of these people was not him, but Luo Xin. And the words of Wang Tingxiang are provoking.

But......

Is it really provocative?

Luo Xin really wouldn't kill him because his existence threatened his future?

"You don't have to take chances." Wang Tingxiang saw that Hu Zongxian still looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, so he said in an aggravated tone:

"With the evidence we have, not only will you die, but your family will also be implicated, and exile is certain."

"I don't understand what you're saying."

Hu Zongxian said calmly, but his heart was extremely uncalm. He knew that if he didn't have a strong man to protect him, he would be doomed. His incriminating evidence was too easy to find, and when he thought of this, he couldn't help but admire Luo Xin in his heart. Luo Xin does things neatly and neatly, leaving no trace of hindsight.

It's just that......

Will Luo Xin save himself?

He can't count on others, and only Luo Xin.

Now Luo Xin has two choices, one is to kill Hu Zongxian, and the other is to protect Hu Zongxian.

How will Luo Xin choose?

Hu Zongxian doesn't know!

However, Hu Zongxian was ready to gamble, he didn't believe in Luo Xin, but had to believe in Luo Xin, he really didn't have anyone who could help him.

If Luo Xin repays him, he can't ask for it. If he kills him, he believes that Luo Xin will leave a bloodline for the Hu family, which will be enough.

Otherwise, once he bites Luo Xin out, he and Luo Xin will be unlucky together, and no one will protect the bloodline of his Hu family anymore, and the old Hu family will be extinct.

"It's useless to quibble." Seeing that Hu Zongxian pretended not to understand, Wang Tingxiang said with a gloomy face: "Even if you refuse to confess, with the evidence in our hands, you are dead." However, if you are willing to confess the instigator behind it and make meritorious contributions, you will not only spare your people, but also let you survive. ”

Hu Zongxian's face showed a hint of sarcasm: "If you want to interrogate me, then escort me to Beijing according to the meaning of the holy decree." It is not said in the Holy Decree, interrogate me here. ”

"You ......"

Wang Tingxiang's face changed, and he was angry. At this time, he already knew in his heart that it was impossible to use words to break Hu Zongxian's psychological defense. Hu Zongxian has been through a hundred battles, how can he be easily defeated by the psychological defense?

"Why bother?"

Wang Tingxiang actually put away his angry look and looked at Hu Zongxian lightly.
