After a few days of panic, the gentry in Runing and Guide began to act, and they wrote one after another, advising Wu Shigong not to be impulsive and to stay calm.

Among them, the old lady Hou who returned to Germany is the most representative, he wrote: It is estimated that this is the work of Shoufu Wen Tiren, but his act of eradicating the virtuous people in the world is the revenge of Wu Shigong's support for Hou Sui last time, and the Son of Heaven may have been deceived.

Mrs. Hou also guessed Wen Tiren's thoughts: Wen Tiren wanted to arrest or kill Wu Shigong. If it succeeds, it's a hundred; If it is unsuccessful, it will also force Wu Shigong to rebel, so as to achieve Wen Tiren's political goal of accusing the Donglin Party of rebellion, so let Wu Shigong not be fooled.

Don't say that Old Lady Hou, as a former important minister of the imperial court and one of the former leaders of the Donglin Party, does have a deep understanding of the court situation, so the content of his guess is basically correct.

Mrs. Hou also said: Let Wu Shigong be at ease for a while, and wait for Mrs. Hou to write to the capital and unite a group of virtuous people to intercede for Wu Shigong. also asked Wu Shigong not to hurt King Chong, Qin Cha Xu Mengqi and the officials of Runing Mansion, otherwise, there would be no room for maneuver.

After Wu Shigong received these letters, he knew that the news of his assassination could not be concealed. Then the suddenness of the preemptive strike is lost. Besides, it is indeed very difficult for him to send troops immediately, and the civil and military forces under his command are basically all opposed, so Wu Shigong himself is a little hesitant.

As the interrogation deepened, the inside story of the assassination was gradually exposed, and Wu Shigong basically grasped the ins and outs of the entire incident. But he still didn't believe that this was the personal behavior of Xu Mengqi and Hu Kan, and thought that Emperor Chongzhen had at least approved of the action to arrest him.

However, there was also a windfall in the interrogation, Wu Shigong learned the inside story of the prefect Gu Zhengqing's impeachment of himself. This makes Wu Shi angry! I gave so many benefits to the local gentry, but I didn't expect that there were still some people who were white-eyed wolves. In a fit of rage, Wu Shigong was ready to kill.

It was Deng Qifan and Zhang Zhiheng who persuaded him, and they said: Runing and Guide have been restless because of the assassination. If Wu Shigong kills those gentry again, it may cause even more instability. And in this situation, it is still the top priority to ensure local tranquility!

It was Fu Wenzhai, the director of the Propaganda Department, who took out this bad breath for Wu Shigong. He publicized to the outside world: It was these guys who ate inside and outside to deceive the saints, attracted the Qincha, attracted Wu Shigong's arrest, and caused the stocks and futures of the stock exchange and futures exchange to plummet. So these traitors of Runing and Guide are simply not raised by their parents, they are all beasts! It's a brute!

As soon as this news came out, the other officials and gentry were filled with righteous indignation. Basically, they all lost a lot in this plunge, and what kind of hatred is there compared to silver? So those gentry who colluded with the prefect Gu Zhengqing immediately became street rats. Although Wu Shigong did not take action personally. But the future of those gentry will certainly be worse than death. Unless they are willing to leave their homeland, they will be killed by the Runing Army and other gentry in the future.

However, this plunge is actually very beneficial to the healthy development of the stock exchange and futures exchange. The speculative atmosphere of those businessmen in the stock exchange and futures exchange is too strong, so that the bubble is getting bigger and bigger. If it weren't for this plunge. Sooner or later, there will be a crash, so this plunge has made those businessmen see the risks. Enough lessons were given to them.

Even more satisfying. Those businessmen would not have blamed the Runing Army for this plunge. They just used the gentry as scapegoats, so they also diverted the target for the Runing army.

However, this lesson also spread to Wu Shigong's inner house, in order to prepare more dowry for Xiao Jie, Zhao Ruya secretly bought a lot of stocks, which made her suffer a heavy loss this time.

When Wu Shigong found out, he was simply angry and funny. can only continue to comfort Zhao Ruya, who is crying and her eyes are swollen. Later, he also promised to use Wu Shigong's silver to make up for the loss of Zhao Ruya's private house.

There is no need to elaborate on how Zhao Ruya thanked each other. When Wu Shigong's behavior reached the ears of the other ladies, those ladies also exploded. It turned out that they had also bought some stocks more or less.

Wu Shigong is simply a big bag, and he promises to make up for the losses for all the ladies. Anyway, it was useless for Wu Shigong to ask for silver himself. It's better to make the ladies happy.

In addition, Wu Shigong also took care of his wives to hold the stocks whose prices had plummeted, and instructed Li Xin to buy stocks with all the silver in the inner house. With the strong army of Runing Army, Wu Shigong is still quite confident in keeping Runing Mansion safe, so he thinks that the price of stocks will rise soon. Besides, if it is really a dead and the clan is destroyed, what is the use of the money that is kept?

However, Fu Wenzhai, director of the Propaganda Department, is indeed very strong. He made another interpretation of Wu Shigong's behavior: Wu Shigong used his private wealth to stabilize the market, so that the local gentry would suffer less losses. As soon as this news came out, it won a good reputation for Wu Shigong.

Of course, there are also those who make it difficult to make a fortune. In addition to the military industry such as Bian's Iron Workshop, Hollywood proprietress Li Yuenu has made a lot of money these days. In view of this apocalyptic panic, the men with pants at the entrance of Hollywood turned out to be in a long line. So that Hollywood's stock is not falling but rising.

In order to share her joy, Li Yuenu called Wu Shigong to her house arrest, and she did everything she could to let Wu Shigong keep the seeds, almost squeezing Wu Shigong dry. Of course, this is not left to Li Yuenu herself, but to the maids who serve her. Li Yuenu managed to recruit some beautiful maids and send them into his house, this is really a policy and a countermeasure!

Now Wu Shigong feels a little troublesome. He also knew that it was not good to hesitate like this, but the opinions within his own Runing Army were not unanimous, which made it difficult to make up his mind to rebel immediately. Even Wu Shigong is still looking forward to the imperial court taking action immediately, and under the same hatred of the enemy, those civil and military forces of the Runing army will have no other choice.

So now Wu Shigong needs to solve the problem of communication with the imperial court, he can't wait to need a middleman, and it is also a matter of heaven, and the middleman appeared immediately.

These days, Ye Zhong, the military supervisor of Runing, is not in Runing Mansion, he is busy with his Zhuangzi and mines in Ye County. Seeing that his private wealth was constantly expanding, Ye Zhongzhen hoped that such days would never come to an end. But at this moment, the news of Wu Shigong's assassination came.

Hearing the news suddenly, Ye Zhong's first reaction was to pack up and flee back to the capital. Others don't know the shili of the Runing Army, but Ye Zhong knows, he definitely doesn't dare to stay in Ye County longer.

But after thinking about it, Ye Zhong found that he was desperate. If the arrest of Wu Shigong is really the holy decree of Emperor Chongzhen, then as a supervisor, there must be a major dereliction of duty, even if Ye Zhong escapes back to the capital, it is inevitable that he will lose his head. And if the Runing Army rebelled, what would he do when he fled to the capital? Is it to send him to death?

Moreover, Ye Zhong has a very good relationship with the Runing Army and Wu Shigong himself, besides, Ye Zhong in Ye County knows the news, and the Runing Army in Ye County must have gotten the news, and they have not come to the door until now, which shows that the Runing Army did not have the idea of arresting Ye Zhong. Since that's the case, why did Ye Zhong run away?

So Ye Zhong closed the door and sent his servants everywhere to inquire about the news. To remove the chaff, Ye Zhong even analyzed the background before and after the assassination. Anyway, no matter how the incident develops, Ye Zhong, the prison army, will always be unable to escape, so when he arrived in Zuihou, Ye Zhong secretly made up his mind and went to Runing to persuade Wu Shigong in person.

Ye Zhong's arrival was not hindered by the Runing Army at all, and even when he went to Wu Shigong's house to deliver the post, the housekeeper Liu Yuan asked him to stay for a while and greet him immediately.

But Ye Zhong didn't expect that there was another guest who was the first to get there, and it was that Qingchenzi. When Ye Zhong saw the Qingchenzi of the fairy wind bone coming out at the gate, he was simply stunned, could it be that Wu Shigong had the idea of being born after the assassination? Want to become a monk to escape the reproach of the imperial court?

"Buddha Amitayus!" Qingchenzi asked Ye Zhong for a hand.

Ye Zhong also woke up all of a sudden, saluted Qingchenzi, and said, "Dao Elder is polite!" ”

So when Ye Zhong saw Wu Shigong, he first said: "My lord, you have to cheer up, it's better to have fewer people outside the party, and the court will be of great use!" The assassination of the adult, the miscellaneous family thought that there must be a misunderstanding. ”

Wu Shigong smiled slightly, he knew that Ye Zhong's words were insincere. He was arrested by Qincha, so Emperor Chongzhen and the imperial court are inseparable. However, for Qingchenzi's visit, Wu Shigong still has to explain: "Qingchenzi is here to be a lobbyist for King Chong. ”

"What did he say?" Of course, Ye Zhong was very concerned about King Chong's movements.

"It's nothing! It is to close the relationship between King Chong and his own officials. Wu Shigong replied lightly.

In fact, Wu Shigong sold King Chong. After King Chong's Mansion was besieged, it really made King Chong's heart tremble. But there is absolutely no shortage of careerists around King Chong, and they analyzed it to King Chong: In case Wu Shigong rebels, there always needs to be a name, and King Chong, as a member of the royal family, has great appeal.

With the strength of the Runing Army, maybe King Chong will be able to ascend to the Ninety-Five Honor. Even if you are a puppet, it is much better than being a trapped-up vassal king in Runing.

So the words of those careerists moved King Chong, and Qingchenzi volunteered to come to Wu Shigong to act as the lobbyist.

And Ye Zhong must have thought of Qingchenzi's intention, and he immediately exclaimed: "My lord! Think again! (To be continued......)
