Chapter 678: Betrayal
Zheng Ji carefully looked at Feng Xiao'an, a celebrity who once called for wind and rain in Xiangyang, and his temperament has changed greatly since he was thrown into prison by Li Chao for two months. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the cars and horses in front of the Feng family, the original friends no longer interact, and even the in-laws of the Feng family deliberately drew a clear line, for fear of getting the bad luck of the Feng family.
The Feng family was indeed very unlucky, just because Feng Xiaoan took the lead in singing the opposite tune on the first day of Li Yanwang's arrival in Xiangyang, and as a result, Li Chao came to kill him, Feng Xiaoan was thrown into prison for two months, not to mention, and many of the Feng family's young industries were also greatly affected. Hefeng Building was confiscated, and the Feng family finally lost thousands of stone grain.
Not to mention that during his time in prison, the original business partners abandoned the Feng family one after another, causing the Feng family's industry to suffer great losses. After Feng Xiao'an came out, the door was cold, and he simply closed the door to thank the guests. Today he suddenly invited him to this teahouse for tea, and Zheng Ji thought about it for a long time before agreeing to come out to meet him.
Zheng Ji felt that Feng Xiaoan was crazy.
Only a madman would think of such a thing, and only dare to think about it. Burning grain? Grain relief granary, relief grain workshop? Zheng Ji didn't dare to think about it.
Not to mention that these places must be heavily guarded, even if they can really be burned, but what about the consequences, haven't you thought about the consequences? He didn't believe that this could be done, and they didn't know what they could do. Once it is found out, this will really be a raid on the family.
The heart pounds.
But Zheng Ji did not refuse immediately.
As a businessman, the first thing that came to his mind was that this was an opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Of course, Zheng Ji would not be as crazy as Feng Xiao'an, but there was no need for him to refuse now.
This matter is an opportunity, and he is keenly aware that if he handles it properly, he can not only get out of this conspiracy, but even get a great benefit from it.
Calm down.
He followed Feng Xiao'an's words and said, "Have you thought about the consequences? ”
"We are all the head snakes of Xiangyang for hundreds of years, and we have a relationship in all aspects, as long as we keep it secret, we will never leave any handles."
Feng Xiaoan is indeed crazy, so crazy that he only believes in what he is willing to believe.
"What about after the grain is burned? What's in it for us? ”
"The benefits? Hahaha, the good thing is that this fire will not only burn down a relief granary, but also ignite the dissatisfaction and anger in the hearts of the wealthy and powerful families everywhere, and when the fire breaks out everywhere, the imperial court will be eager to put out the fire everywhere, at that time, do they dare to take away our grain and our tenant slaves like this? In this world, we can restore the glory of the past! ”
Zheng Ji admitted that there was some truth in what Feng Xiao'an said, but how could this kind of thing be so easy. And even if the world is really in turmoil, it may be other landlords and powerful people who can benefit, but the unlucky ones will definitely be those who take the lead in setting fires.
"You're right, it's time to teach King Li Yan and these people a lesson. This world is not only Li Tang's world, but also our world. But I think it's just the two of us, and the strength is still too thin. We have to contact some like-minded people and do it together, and the strength of the people is also great. ”
Feng Xiaoan frowned, "How many people there are, things are easy to leak." ”
"Don't worry, everyone has long been dissatisfied with the imperial court's expropriation and expropriation. Who is not a victim? Leak? Can't get along with yourself? Besides, when we pick people, it's good to keep them secret. ”
If you want to do it, make a big news, Zheng Ji's heart is hot.
In the teahouse, the two of them were talking carefully.
In the next few days, Zheng Ji and Feng Xiao'an began to secretly connect with each other, starting with their respective clansmen and in-laws.
Although Xiangfan's undercurrent was surging under the calm water, Li Chao still quickly heard a wind and caught some clues.
Li Chao quietly sent people to strengthen the secret investigation.
However, the matter had just touched a few clues, but Zheng Ji took the initiative to come to see Li Chao. He came secretly and asked for a secret meeting.
"Zheng Ji? I know that this person is also somewhat prestigious among the big clans in Xiangyang, and the Zheng family is not small. Is it found out that the Zheng family is also involved in this incident? ”
"Well, there is no definite evidence, but the preliminary judgment is that the Zheng family and the Feng family are the masterminds of the string up and down."
Li Chao sneered, sometimes he doesn't necessarily need any exact evidence, the matter is important, and with his power, he can directly arrest and interrogate people without any afterplay. He knows very well the nature of these heroes, they seem to be very hard, but some are soft bones, and it is very easy to find a breakthrough.
Break through one, the whole chain will open, and it will not be easy to find out things at that time.
"Let him in."
Zheng Ji was dressed in a moon-white robe, hooking his back when he entered the house, and his steps were very light, for fear of startling anyone.
Li Chao sat in the house and made iron plate barbecue meat to eat, the so-called road has frozen bones, Zhumen wine and meat stink, although the famine in the world is getting worse day by day, but no matter how hungry Li Chao is, he can't be hungry.
Li Shimin also ate some locust cakes from time to time, and ordered to be frugal in the palace, so that he could reduce banquets or something, and set an example. But Li Chao will not deliberately put on a show, in public, Li Chao will also follow the public, but in his own home, behind closed doors, how to eat or how to eat.
This is not a communist-righteous society, and it cannot be said that everyone should be equally communist, so this is called fairness and justice, right? Li Chao eats some barbecue, as long as it is not a waste, who does this hinder.
In the autumn, after a busy day of case work, I picked up the charcoal basin, put a special iron plate on the shelf, and then soaked the oil on it, and put the marinated pork belly and mutton slices on the iron plate to roast, smelling the burst of fragrance, it was indeed very refreshing.
Paired with some juice or beer, it's really relaxing.
The pork belly is slightly charred on both sides with a golden brown color, and this kind of fat and lean meat is oily and delicious when grilled. Pick up a few slices, take the washed lettuce wrap, roll it up and stuff it into your mouth, and race the living immortals.
"Zheng Guanren, come have some grilled pork belly?"
Zheng Ji secretly despised Li Chao in his heart, and the dignified prime minister was so happy to eat pork, as if he had never seen the world by a man named Huazi. But when he smelled it, it was really fragrant, which was very different from the pork he usually remembered.
With respect on his face, he shook his hand repeatedly.
"The grass people don't dare to disturb Xiangguo."
"It's okay, in fact, I know that Zheng Guanren also does business, and business is often negotiated at the wine table. If you come to me today, I can guess what is going on, and we just have a conversation while eating. Don't look down on this pork, in fact, pork, dog meat, and vole meat, as long as they are handled well, are rare and delicious. In this disaster year, the people have already eaten up voles, bamboo rats, wild boars, and so on, and even locusts are caught and stored for food every day. ”
Zheng Ji sat on the stool, his buttocks were actually only a third of the way, like squatting on a horse, leaning forward, extremely respectful. In the past, in such serious disaster years, I don't know how many people died of starvation, and how many people left their homes to flee the famine, and as a result, only less than two or three percent of people could come back in the end. Xiangguo caught locusts and fished to make relief food, I don't know how many lives he lived. ”
For this kind of sycophancy, Li Chao is completely immune.
Zheng Ji didn't eat it, and Li Chao didn't force it, anyway, he was very happy eating while roasting.
Li Chao really left Zheng Ji alone, and was happy to eat while roasting, and ignored him for a long time. Zheng Ji couldn't sit still, Li Chao's sentence just now made him feel that Li Chao had a deep understanding of everything.
Originally, he still wanted to take a pinch and let Li Chao ask first. Who knew that it was such a situation, he coughed lightly, and then said, "Xiangguo, I have an important matter here that needs to be reported to you, and someone wants to rebel!" ”
Li Chao gently shoveled up a freshly fried pigeon sun egg, the egg was still very tender, and the yolk was still shaking.
"I know this, isn't it Feng Xiao'an and you Zheng Ji taking the lead."
Li Chao said softly, but Zheng Ji slipped off the chair with a frightened plop and knelt directly on the ground with weak knees.
"Xiangguo, I, the grass people are really not all the way to the thief. The grass people are just pretending to cooperate with him, but they are actually investigating the conspiracy of the Feng thieves for the imperial court. After the unremitting efforts of the grass people these days, the grass people have won the trust of the Feng thieves, learned all his plans to make trouble, and also knew that all his henchmen, Xiangguo, and Feng Thieves, they plan to burn down the relief grain warehouse in Xiangyang! ”
Li Chao was tasting the taste of the extremely tender egg yolk liquid, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked.
"Tell me in detail about the situation you have, if there is a half-word omission and a little concealment, then the Zheng family will inevitably have a fate of destroying the family, you know that I can do it when I say it."
Zheng Ji's back was completely soaked, and Li Chao put more pressure on him than he expected.
It was really a feeling of thinking about heaven and hell.
Where did he dare to conceal half of it, at the moment of 1510, he told all Feng Xiaoan's plans, in fact, he also had most of the credit for that plan. In addition, the Haoqiang of Xiangfan, who he contacted Feng Xiaoan these days, also confessed to all of them.
This is a great vote of fame, and I only hope to exchange it for the future wealth of the Zheng family.
Li Chao listened to everything patiently and carefully, and even took a pen to record it at the key point.
"Do you have that list of plotters?"
"Yes, I have one in my hand."
Zheng Ji hurriedly took it out, this is not only a list, but also an alliance oath full of handprints and signatures.
This is basically Zheng Ji's oath that Zheng Ji signed and fingerprinted together in order to betray them today, ostensibly it is a letter of alliance, but in fact, it is just a letter of nomination that he wants to betray everyone.
The list is submitted, and the evidence of the rebellion is conclusive.
More than 100 Xiangfan Haoqiang on the list were completely sold by him.
Li Chao's gaze swept over one gaze after another, his eyes became more and more cold, and the murderous aura on his face became more and more vigorous.
These things don't know whether to live or die! (To be continued.) )
