When Lin Xiqi left, Hu Wo returned to the study, his face a little gloomy.

At the banquet just now, he and Lin Xiqi staggered and became confidants.

But that's just on the surface

He and Lin Xiqi met for the first time, and they didn't have any friendship at all, and even because of Yao Qile's matter, the relationship between himself and Lin Xiqi was destined not to be too good.

Unless it is His Royal Highness the Third Prince, he doesn't care.

can be his understanding of His Highness, and His Highness cannot ignore it.

Even if you don't do anything now, it doesn't mean that you won't retaliate in the future.

However, the property that Lin Xiqi sent him this time made him feel good.

In any case, if someone else sends money, then you can't put on a face.

Take care of the caravan of the Quartet Firm?

That's impossible.

The Quartet Firm is really rich, and it is no wonder that in the border land of Liangzhou, which is the sphere of influence of the Floating Cloud Sect, the Quartet Firm is naturally thriving there.

It is normal for the Sifang firm to transport some goods purchased from the Western Regions and other places to the Central Plains in the mainland, and it is normal to sell them several times, even if it is more than ten times.

Not only will he not take care of the Quartet in the future, but he will also have to tell Zhou Li to strengthen the plundering of the Quartet business.

Thinking of this, Hu Wo's gloomy face slowly disappeared, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"In a few years, I can also fight for the position of state pastor. Hu Wo said softly.

As long as His Highness is willing to fight for himself, then he can't say that he is very sure of this position of state pastor, but seventy or eighty percent still have it.

If you want His Highness to help, it depends on your own performance, and your ability is in collecting money.

"Someone. ”

A servant hurried in.

"If you go to spread the news, you will say that the next official positions will be added to the original fifty percent. Huwo said.

"Yes, my lord, the little one will do it right away. ”

After the servant finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait. Hu Wo called out to him again, "Double it." ”

"Huh? Yes. ”

"This time, the caravan of the Quartet Firm will be forgotten. Hu Wo thought to himself, "But let's make up for this gap here." ”

Lin Xiqi is in the caravan, and it is obviously inappropriate to do it again.

There is no preparation on my side, and there are not enough masters.

If you really want to do anything to the caravan of the Quartet in the future, you have to ask Your Highness for instructions.

In this way, His Highness's side can send more masters to himself.

"My lord, my lord, it's not good. Suddenly, a man slammed back from the study door and broke in.

"What's the matter?" Hu Wo's face was displeased.

That is, his cronies, otherwise if others dare to do this, he will directly kill him with a rod.

"Second master, he, he~"

"He, he, he, can't even speak?" said Hu Sleep, slamming his hand on the desk.

"The life and death of the second master are unknown. ”

"What did you say?" Hu Wo slammed up from his chair, his eyes wide, staring fiercely at his cronies.

This cronie couldn't help but hurriedly said: "I just got the news that the Fengshan bandits were almost wiped out. ”

"What about Zhou Li, what about the six masters we sent?" Hu Wo was taken aback, "Who did it?"

"They should all be dead. The subordinates suspected that it should be done by the Sifang firm. ”

"If you're dead, you're dead, what do you mean you're supposed to be dead?"

"There are a number of corpses that have been unrecognizable, and judging by the clothes they are wearing, and their size and height, it is very likely that they are them. ”

"What about Zhou Li?"

"This is also the case with the second master. The subordinates were more likely to have been captured, otherwise they wouldn't have had to deliberately destroy the corpse's appearance. ”

Hu sat back in his chair.

In this way, it seems that Zhou Li is really alive.

After pondering for a moment, he said, "You suspect the Quartet Firm?"

"Yes, the place where the accident happened is on the trade road where the Quartet came from. In fact, his subordinates felt that this matter was related to Lin Xiqi. ”

Hu Wo took a deep breath.

"It shouldn't have anything to do with him. Hu Wo said in a deep voice.

"Your Excellency?"

"If he really did it, he came to me just now?"

"This?" the cronie hesitated for a moment, "My lord, maybe that kid is suspicious and wants to confuse the adult?"

Hu Wo was silent.

I have to say that there is also this possibility.

"Isn't he afraid of being self-defeating and making us more suspicious of him?" asked Huwo.

"My lord, it's hard to judge when you belong to you. ”

Originally, if Lin Xiqi came here just to help the Quartet business get some connections, then they didn't need to think about it at all.

It's really happening right now, and I don't have to think about it more.

As far as Hu Wo is concerned, he still doesn't believe that Lin Xiqi did it.

If he really did it, what did he come here for, to demonstrate?

Unlikely, Hu Wo believes that it is impossible for Lin Xiqi not to know that behind him is His Royal Highness the Third Prince.

"I've heard that a lot of people from the rivers and lakes have been going to the capital recently. Hu Wo said suddenly.

"Yes, it seems to have something to do with the treasure of the former dynasty. ”

"Hmph, treasure treasure, these people in the rivers and lakes are just ghosts, what treasure can they really dig up? Even if there is, how can they get it? In the end, it is not in vain. ”

"My lord, the people in the rivers and lakes think differently from adults. ”

"There should be a lot of people in the rivers and lakes who passed through Fengshan County, right?" Hu Lie didn't bother to pay attention to the treasure.

Hearing the adult's question, this cronie immediately understood what he meant.

"My lord, do you think it was possible that these people in the rivers and lakes did it?"

"It's not impossible. Hu Wo sighed and said, "Zhou Li's life and death don't matter first, if those six people really die, I'm afraid I will have an explanation on His Highness's side." ”

"My lord, since this is the case, the subordinates feel that no matter whether it is or not, this matter will be counted on the head of the Quartet business, and when the time comes, His Highness will have an excuse to come~~~"

"Hey, if these four firms are on our territory, even in the capital, no, in other states, we can do this, first give him the name of murder, and then raid his house, and the property of the firm will go into the hands of His Highness. It's a pity that the Quartet is in Liangzhou, and now it is difficult for even the Third Highness to touch Liangzhou. Hu Wo sighed, "I know that His Highness still thinks about Liangzhou in his heart, but now that Liangzhou is the world of the Floating Cloud Sect, His Highness has no intention of really tearing his face with them for the time being." After all, His Royal Highness's current focus is still in the capital, and the throne is the most important. ”

"Then I'll have to find another home. The cronie frowned.

The lord obviously vetoed his proposal just now, even if it was really done by the Quartet and Lin Xiqi, they could only pretend not to know now.

"Let's find one from the city, let's just say that they colluded with the people in the rivers and lakes to plot to assassinate the official, and the six of them died to protect me, so report it to Your Highness." Hu Wo said, "Remember, the family wealth must be rich, otherwise His Highness will not be so easy to explain." ”

"Hmm~~ My lord, what do you think?"

"It's up to you. By the way, you also send someone to ask the Sifang firm, if Zhou Lizhen falls into their hands, I hope he is safe. ”

"The subordinates understand. But what if the second master is really not in their hands?"

"It's not in their hands, it's mostly bad luck. That's really what those people in the rivers and lakes are doing. Damn, we must catch them, I will break them to pieces. ”

"The subordinates will also send additional people to investigate, and they will definitely find the second master back. ”
