This prince is a little sweet

Xiao Heng raised his eyebrows and said, "I would like to hear the details."

Shen Chao resigned: "In recent years, there have been three major forces in Liangzhou City, Prince Yu's Mansion, Luoxue Villa, and Jiulongzhai. Needless to say, Prince Yu's Mansion is eating the salary of the imperial court and secretly raising many private soldiers. Little, it's a pity that although King Yu has means, he can't bear his temper. Luoxue Mountain Villa is managed by Yuan Qi, and on the surface it is only doing business of escorting and buying and selling slaves. It can be regarded as a prosperous life. Of course, this Luoxue Villa actually regards King Yu as a deadly enemy, and you must know it, so I don’t need to say more.”

"What's interesting is that although Yuan Qi used Luoxue Mountain Villa to gain a firm foothold, he never dared to turn his face against Liangzhou officers and soldiers and King Yu. It wasn't until the last few days that he was about to make a move. Do you know why?"

A piece of Agame petals fell down and landed in Xiao Heng's teacup. The stretched slender five fingers were distinctly red and white with the red petals, which seemed to have an inexplicable smell.While staring at the teacup in his hand, Xiao Heng said, "Yuan Qi doesn't have any other skills, most likely he has some great support."

Shen Chaoci untied his sword, slapped it on the table, and said, "Exactly! Simply put, he has soldiers in his hand. This soldier is Jiulongzhai."

Although Xie Yuan has been in Luoxue Mountain Villa all the time, because he doesn't like it there, he doesn't know much about the real situation there.At this moment, he asked a little strangely: "Although Luoxue Mountain Villa has some reputation in Liangzhou, it is mostly because they donate porridge and have established a reputation among the people. Many people blindly believe in them. But the words of Jiulongzhai ...are they really willing to be used by Yuan Qi?"

Shen Chaoci smiled and said: "This is the point of the question. Jiulongzhai is indeed unwilling to be used by Yuan Qi, but he is willing to form an alliance with them. Of course, it has to be mentioned that the people in Jiulongzhai these years , how did it come here?"

Facing Xie Yuan's searching eyes, Shen Chaoci continued: "About four years ago, the current emperor asked the national teacher to divination the location of the imperial mausoleum, and finally settled on two tables. Liangzhou used to be the fiefdom of Brother Jing, but it has long been The emperor changed the title to King Yu. Since then, King Yu has become the overseer of the imperial mausoleum. The overseer is naturally a rare job in a hundred years. In order to squeeze more oil and water from it, King Yu, He did not hesitate to oppress the common people against his conscience, embezzling the money and ore allocated by the imperial mausoleum, and made a lot of money."

Having said this, Shen Chaoci's eyes have gradually turned cold.

"But in the final analysis, people are alive. If one person is forced to live by ten people, he won't get a few taels of silver. Who can stand such treatment? It's just that these people are still timid, and few dare to stand up and resist. Luoxue Villa saw this opportunity and came up with a way to intensify the conflict between King Yu and them."

Hearing this, Xiao Heng raised his eyebrows, the words have already come to this point, all the things he saw in the past few days gradually emerged in his mind, stringing together a complete clue, but the guess that emerged in his heart seemed too close He himself couldn't believe it, so he asked softly, "Oh? What can I do?"

☆、Yuanjia

Shen Chaoci replied quietly: "This is the so-called haunting in the jade building. Every time Yu Wang urges the peasants to enter the jade building to refine private mines for him, Luoxue Villa will send a few people to sneak in and count all the peasants. Killed in the Jade Tower, and then spread rumors that the Jade Tower was haunted. Over time, no one was willing to work in the Jade Tower. In this way, Liangzhou produced a large number of strong men who escaped corvee. Most of these strong men will be wanted by the court. If you are caught, you will be punished according to the rules.”

Shen Chaoci took a sip of tea, moistened his somewhat dry lips, and continued: "Luoxue Villa used their concerns to find them secretly, claiming that they could remove their household registration and arrest warrants, so that they would neither harm the tribe nor To be able to escape the hunt, of course, the premise is that they agree to go to Jiulongzhai to become a bandit. In this way, Luoxue Villa has become a hero who helped expand Jiulongzhai by means of dishonorable means, and everyone in Jiulongzhai has been kept in the dark Lie. Gangsters in the rivers and lakes value loyalty the most, so it would be a simple matter for Luoxue Villa to form an alliance with Jiulongzhai and use their power."

Xiao Heng couldn't help but snorted coldly, bent his knuckles, subconsciously tapped the table top lightly, and said, "For his illusory ambition, to kill thousands of innocent people, Yuan Qi really can do anything .”

At this time, the herbal medicine boiled by the maid in the courtyard happened to be brought up, Xiao Heng took it, pinched his nose and took a sip, then continued to frown and said: "I really want to know, that guy can sleep at night ?”

Although his tone was somewhat sarcastic, it seemed extremely cold, as if this kind of thing had become commonplace to him.As Xie Yuan listened, a chill gradually rose in his heart. Only then did he truly feel that there was an insurmountable distance between Xiao Heng and himself.

After all, when he first found out that those civilian husbands were murdered to death, he already felt very uncomfortable. Although Xiao Heng kept saying nonsense, he still seemed very calm.

Xiao Heng looked at Xie Yuan, and noticed the strangeness in his expression, but he obviously couldn't understand the reason. Instead, he felt that he probably felt a little cold, so he ordered the servants around him to get a coat, She put on Xie Yuan's clothes in a good manner.
