Hu Zongnian sneaked back to Wu this time, and he came back to contact the Hu family's people in Wu land.

Not to mention a family like the Hu family, even a smaller family has operated the hometown of several generations, and it is impossible to have no connections left.

Not to mention others, Hu Zongnian's house alone, there are more than a dozen relatives in Wu Di, hundreds of people who have friendships, and there are a few secretly operated businesses, except for the shopkeeper and henchmen, no one knows that the background of these trading shops is the Hu family.

Lian said that the hurried way made the second young master of the Hu family, who had always attached great importance to grooming, look tired, but at this time, the matter was important, but he couldn't take care of it much.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the Dehuifeng Inn, the carriage stopped, and the four attendants who followed him into Wu turned over and dismounted, and someone came over to open the door for him and helped him get out of the car.

"Degui, go in and find the shopkeeper and come out. Hu Zongnian said to his entourage.

The attendant responded: "Yes, Second Young Master." ”

The man entered the gate of the inn, and Hu Zongnian hid in the shadow of the carriage and the wall, and stood outside and waited for a while.

No matter what time it is, there are still some rules to be said, and when he appears here as the owner, the shopkeeper of this store will naturally welcome him out.

At this time, the street was very lively, and these people stood in front of the inn inconspicuously.

This is not Jinling City, just an ordinary county seat, and the foundation of the Hu family is not here, although there is also another courtyard here, but he only came once or twice a month, and he didn't think that he could be recognized when he came here.

"Second Young Master, they came out. In less than a moment, I saw the door of the inn open, and a middle-aged man in a robe who was a little fat ran out of it, and it was the entourage who followed him.

"Qian Lao Liu has seen the owner!" The middle-aged man is the shopkeeper of this inn, and he is also Hu Zongnian's henchman, Mo looks like a simple look, but he is actually very smart, and he is the son of the Hu family, and he is very loyal to Hu Zongnian.

As soon as he learned that Hu Zongnian was back, he hurriedly put down the work at hand and ran out to greet him.

In front of the owner, he almost knelt down in public.

"There are a lot of people here, so you don't have to salute!" Hu Zongnian helped him up and whispered at the same time.

Qian Lao Liu immediately woke up, the owner in front of him was the second young master of the Hu family, and now the Hu family, along with more than a dozen other households, has been wanted and hunted down by the emperor of the Wu Dynasty, and it is indeed necessary to be cautious about Fang Cheng.

"Owner, there are many people here, please go inside with the small ones. Thinking of this, Qian Lao Liu hurriedly lowered his voice and said.

"Well, that's what you mean, lead the way. Hu Zongnian nodded.

The four entourages he brought with him pulled the horses and the coachman into through the side door, and two followed behind Hu Zongnian to protect Hu Zongnian's safety.

Dehuifeng Inn is one of the five big inns in the county, which has a low-cost shop and a single room that ordinary people can live in, as well as a caravan and a single courtyard often booked by large families, covering a wide area, the front is a two-story restaurant, the wine and dishes on the first floor are very cheap, and there are a few pennies a meat bun, a few pennies a bowl of cheap sake, the most popular ordinary guests in a hurry.

The second floor is classy, and every dish is expensive, but it often fills half a floor of the restaurant.

Hu Zongnian walked through the main gate, did not stop in front, and walked directly to the back with the shopkeeper.

Because the second young master of the Hu family didn't show up much in the market, he didn't think anyone would recognize him, and he didn't notice it when he went in.

"Uncle Chang, why are you stopping me?" Seeing that the second young master of the Hu family entered the inn, the young man stared at it with a frown, turned around, and said puzzledly: "These people who escaped are criminals who are going to be taken by the eldest master, but they are not as good as the ruffians and bandits who are also considered to be tolerances. And the eldest master also gave a lot of rewards, and when he got this reward, he made a small fortune, and Uncle Chang didn't want to take this reward?"

If you don't listen to persuasion, go in by yourself, don't mention me......" The middle-aged catcher saw the young man hunting fast and looked unwilling, so he put down this sentence fiercely, turned around and left.

The young man was surprised, but his mind turned quickly, and he saw a noodle shop not far away, which was very cold at this time, and said: "Uncle Chang is hungry? There is a noodle shop on that side, let's go over, order some snacks and side dishes, and then have a pot of wine, how about resting our feet? ”

"You can still listen to words...... middle-aged catcher quickly stopped, turned around and looked, although he knew that the noodle shop could still watch the inn, he didn't break this thought: "Then go over and rest!"

This noodle shop is opened by an old couple, and there are usually a lot of customers, but it was just too early at this time, and the shop immediately became deserted.

"Two officials, I don't know what to use?" the old man asked flatteringly.

The young catcher quickly said: "Three dishes, two bowls of noodles, and a pot of wine, just send them quickly." ”

"Okay! There are vacant seats there, facing the street and bright, the two officials will wait for a while, and the little old man will be ready immediately. ”

The two looked over, and there was a good location, and there was no one nearby, so they walked over.

After they were seated, the old woman came and wiped down the table and laid out two snacks.

After a while, the fried side dishes were put on the table, as well as two bowls of noodles and a pot of warm wine.

"This cup is to respect Uncle Chang, thanks to Uncle Chang's support, you can know a lot of things!"

"Hey, you don't need to be like this, you are my nephew, how can I not take care of you?" Seeing the young man's attitude, although he was inevitably a little disgusted just now, he was relieved at this time.

Seeing that there was no one around, the middle-aged catcher sighed happily and said, "Do you know why I want to stop you?"

"The nephew is just puzzled, and he asks Uncle Chang to solve his doubts. The young man hurriedly arched his hand and whispered.

"It's because you can't catch it!" There was no one around, and the middle-aged catcher quickly let go of his courage and said: "The Hu family has been a big family for hundreds of years, and it is deep-rooted, and you have caught the second son of the family, which is a great achievement, but can you please it afterwards? Aren't you afraid that people will kill you in the middle of the night?"

The young man was taken aback, but he said unwillingly: "They dare? I am always tolerant, not afraid of the yamen?"

"Hey, your idea is good in peacetime, even the family doesn't dare to act rashly, there are more than 100,000 tolerances in the world, who doesn't die and the fox is sad?" This middle-aged catcher seems to have read some books, and then whispered: "But think about it, now that the King of Chu and the Son of Heaven are fighting, what are you fighting for the limelight at this time?"

"If you catch someone and kill your head, you will be defeated, the government will be liquidated, the Hu family will be liquidated, you still have good fruit to eat?

"Uncle Chang is saying that the Son of Heaven will ...... Defeat?" The young man was taken aback, and suddenly realized the powerful relationship in it, thought about it, and asked unwillingly: "Didn't you say that the Son of Heaven has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers?"

"Although there are a lot of soldiers and horses in the Son of Heaven, there are less than 150,000 soldiers who have really been on the battlefield a few times, and the other soldiers are all new soldiers, if the King of Chu fights with the Son of Heaven in the past two years, I am afraid that it is really hard to say who wins and who loses!"

"If the Wu Dynasty is defeated, what will it be?"

"Didn't I just say that? Now that the two kings are fighting, what are you fighting for the limelight? Don't say that you and I are catching fast, even the eldest lord in the county ya, and how many of them have never thought about leaving a way back for themselves? Could it be that these two young masters are here, and you don't even know that you are the big lord of the yamen?"

"Only you are young, and you only think about meritorious service and reward, but this merit is so easy to take? I am not afraid of burning your hands, maybe today you send it, tomorrow the master will plan to kill you and pay tribute to the west!"

When the Qing Dynasty fell, Wang Jingwei assassinated the Manchu regent Zaifeng and was arrested after the incident.

According to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, the assassination of the royal family, the nine clans, but the Manchurians who dared to slaughter millions of people in Sichuan did not dare to kill a person at this time.

Why, it is nothing more than the fear of being liquidated after the fall of the Qing Dynasty.

Later, in the era of the Kuomintang, the underground party was rampant, is it really not discovered, this is too underestimated.

In fact, it is the same, many people have seen it, but they have opened one eye and closed one eye, and the reason is also the mind of this middle-aged catcher.

The middle-aged man said that his face turned white, and he said again and again: "What Uncle Chang said is that if you really catch it, there will be endless disasters in the future!"

"What's more?" the middle-aged catcher drank a glass of wine, and as soon as the wine entered his stomach, the words became more and more.

"Didn't you see how the shopkeeper of the restaurant talked to this person? Obviously, they are all the way, and you said that you rushed in just in time, and the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, killed you and fled, what should you do? When the time comes, people take advantage of the chaos to escape, and Master Liu of the Yamen is stingy again, who will your father and mother go to cry and complain to? They raised you so big, just let you go to death in vain?"

"Uncle Chang, I'll toast you again!" Hearing this, the young man was no longer dissatisfied with what had just happened, only grateful, and hurriedly toasted again.

After eating this meal, the two tacitly swallowed the matter in their stomachs, swept the inn, but just continued to do things as if nothing had happened.

Besides, Hu Zongnian was let by Qian Lao Liu into an elegant courtyard at the back to live temporarily.

That night, in a room in this small courtyard, several people sat together and discussed things in a whisper.

There were people patrolling the courtyard, and the lights in the room flickered slightly, shaking their faces, and their expressions were complicated and gloomy.

"Wei Yue still wants to fill the harem? It's really ridiculous!" Hearing the news here, Hu Zongnian sat in the top position and sneered.

In fact, Wei Yue's actions this time were not excessive, the old man in the palace was slaughtered by him, so he naturally summoned a newcomer to the palace.

However, Wei Yue himself was forced to kill the usurped position of the Emperor of Dayan, his name was not right, and he was not recognized by the world at all, and what he did, even if it was a good deed, would not be recognized, let alone this matter.

After Hu Zongnian sneered twice, he said to Qian Lao Liu: "Money shopkeeper, two gentlemen, I won't tell you that the Hu family has taken refuge in the King of Chu, the King of Chu is benevolent, has the demeanor of a wise man, and in terms of strength, he is stronger than Wei Yue. ”

"When I came back this time, I was in contact with my previous contacts and secretly made internal responses, and you shops that stayed in Wu Land should be used to do some big things, and wait for the great victory of the King of Chu in the future, these things are a great achievement!

"Please rest assured, we are the only owner of the family!" the three people in the audience hurriedly stood up, bowed and said.

When Hu Zongnian saw it, his heart was relieved and he was relieved.
