The Prodigal Son of the Empire

[Author's digression]: The second update!

Chapter 296 Xiao Huan's Strategy

In the carriage, Li Qingman sat on the side by himself, while Wang Kang was sizing up Xiao Huan who was sitting in front of him.

It can be seen that he looks very embarrassed, even after treatment, his face is still pale.

The skin that can be seen on the face has large or small scars, especially his right hand, which is wrapped in gauze, but it can be seen that there are two missing fingers...

If Wang Kang is not mistaken, this position should be the same as that of Han Yuanzheng.

It can be seen that Han Yuanzheng not only blamed Xiao Huan for his fault, but also took all the anger he encountered on him...

Moreover, he should have experienced some torture.

While Wang Kang was sizing him up.

Xiao Huan was also looking at Wang Kang, at the very famous prodigal young master of Fuyang Earl's Mansion.

Unlike other people in Yongding Earl's Mansion, he has never underestimated Wang Kang.

In the Earl's Mansion of Yongding, Wang Kang's information was specially collected, starting from when he bought Fengyage... until now.

Xiao Huan once carefully analyzed that this is definitely not a prodigal son, but a real capable person.

What he did seemed absurd, but behind every step, there was a deep meaning.

In Xinfeng County, he tried his best to dissuade Han Yuanzheng, to be careful in everything, not to be impulsive and reckless, and not to underestimate Wang Kang.

But Han Yuanzheng didn't listen at all.

How is the result?

In the end, it was defeated in Xinfeng County and suffered heavy losses.

His loyal words were harsh, and when he returned to Yongzhou, Chen Ping offered him advice again, making himself a scapegoat.

This was already absurd enough, but what made Xiao Huan even more unbelievable was that even the Earl acquiesced and did not justify his name.

Later, he felt the crisis even more. At that time, Wang Kang came to Tai'an City, Yongzhou. When he got the news, he sent a close friend to Wang Kang, begging him to save him.

This is a helpless move, but also a necessary choice. In the past few days, Han Yuanzheng has suffered almost venting punishment, and his body has suffered great damage.

It made him even more disheartened!

So he has to re-select the master and serve him!

One is for survival, the other is for revenge...

"Why did Mr. Xiao think of asking me to save you?" Wang Kang said lightly at this moment, interrupting his thoughts.

"Because no one can save Xiao except you, Young Master Kang!" Xiao Huan said respectfully, keeping his posture very low, as if he was a subordinate.

Wang Kang couldn't deny it, and said again: "Even I figured it out, Mr. Xiao is really not simple!"

"I have no choice but to do this. I hope...Master Kang will forgive me."

"It's okay to save you, but I want to know what help you can bring me, or... what value are you in!"

Wang Kang looked at Xiao Huan quietly, and his eyes gradually became sharper, which made Xiao Huan's heart tremble.

He straightened his body, and said calmly: "Since I have been a counselor in the Earl's Mansion of Yongding, although the core is difficult to understand, but as time goes on, I can know something."

Xiao Huan knew that his next conversation was related to his life and death.

Although he was rescued by Wang Kang and he was also in the same car, it didn't mean that he was safe.

This is not a good man or woman.

"It is very difficult to deal with the Earl's Mansion of Yongding from the outside. Bo Hanyu of Yongding has been in business for a long time, and the fief has already taken shape."

Xiao Huan said: "These can provide him with a steady stream of money, population, and resources!"

"Continue." Wang Kang said lightly.

"So it's very difficult to deal with him from the outside,"

Xiao Huan glanced at Wang Kang, and said again: "Even if Han Yu's external business is hit, it may bring some losses to him, but it still won't touch his roots."

Wang Kang nodded uncompromisingly. He agreed with this point. What is an old-fashioned nobleman is not a lie, but represents qualifications and management...

After long-term operation, they have accumulated a large amount of wealth and resources.

It is very difficult to move it.

With the support of a formed fief, it is very difficult for such a large family to collapse.

Unless it is the court.

But this is not possible at the moment, Zhao Huang is also very cautious when dealing with veteran nobles without a handle.

And behind this, there is an entire faction of veteran nobles, whose interests are involved...

Wang Kang was thinking, his eyes fell on Xiao Huan, waiting for his next words.

Xiao Huan breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that he had already passed the first step of the assessment.

He said again: "So, if you want to deal with the Earl's Mansion of Yongding fundamentally, you can only deal with it from the inside!"

Xiao Huan explained without pausing: "Master Kang, maybe I don't know much about it, but I have been in the Earl's Mansion of Yongding for so long, so I still know something about it."

"Han Yu's title can be inherited. The current eldest son is Han Yuanzheng. That is to say, after Han Yu's death, Han Yuanzheng will inherit his title."

"However, Han Yu has many heirs,"

"Han Yuan is the eldest son, and his first mother has two younger siblings, not to mention Han Yu's second wife and third wife's concubine..."

Hearing this, Wang Kang's eyes narrowed, he probably knew Xiao Huan's train of thought.

Xiao Huan continued: "These children are not willing to be mediocre, born in such a family, think about it, who doesn't covet the position of the eldest son, control the family, people will always be insufficient."

"The fact is the same. The descendants of the Han family are not harmonious, especially for Han Yuanzheng, they are very dissatisfied."

"Han Yuan is the eldest son, and now he has mastered a lot of family resources, and can mobilize the family's private soldiers, even dead servants."

"As for those, there is nothing in the slightest. In this environment, no one's heart is balanced."

Wang Kang said: "So you want to let them start internal disputes, compete for the position of the son, and make the family chaotic?"
