Being a Lady of an Influential Family: 393, weigh the pros and cons

Duke Fu looked at Prince An and said solemnly: "Someone sells weapons from the capital to Nile and Naga, and the time is probably not a day or two."

Wen Yan Prince An couldn't help frowning, "Are you sure it's from the capital? Is it related to the Royal Arsenal?"

Fu Dujun sighed, took out a cigarette, and said, "I know what you are thinking, but... those people in the military would not dare to play so much, after all, there is Lou Yun. Moreover, They can't cover up such a large-scale arms smuggling."

Prince An frowned, "So, do you think there is an unknown arsenal hidden near the capital?"

Dujun Fu nodded and said, "I think so."

The study was silent for a long time and no one spoke. The cigarette in Dujun Fu's hand was almost half lit before he saw Prince An standing up and walking towards the bookcase behind him.

Prince An came over with a booklet in a short time and pushed the booklet in front of Du Jun Fu and said, "Although the arsenal was called the royal family back then, you also know that it was actually under the management of the Ministry of War. It's not my turn to ask, this is the situation of the personnel and equipment of the arsenal and their whereabouts when they were split, I don't know what has changed over the years."

Dujun Fu flipped through the booklet in front of him. The handwriting on it was very old, and even the paper was a little yellowed.

Deu Jun Fu sighed and asked with a frown, "Do you think... who did it look like?"

Prince An laughed a little, raised his eyebrows and looked at Du Jun Fu and said, "You ask me?"

Duke Fu rolled his eyes, "Otherwise?"

Prince An didn't care and smiled, "It's hard to say, if I had to guess, the first thing I would suspect would be you and Long Xiao."

This time, Du Jun Fu rolled his eyes even more openly, and by the way gave a sick expression.

Prince An said helplessly, "Isn't it? Not to mention the manufacture of weapons, just transportation is a big problem. If I want to sell weapons abroad, I will never build an arsenal in the capital. If you want to send things out of the country, you have to go through as many people and as many places."

The six southern provinces are different from the four northern provinces. They can be easily shipped directly through their own ports without worrying about being discovered by outsiders.

"Are you reminding me that people from the military are involved?" Dujun Fu said sharply.

Prince An smiled lightly: "I didn't say anything."

"Okay." Governor Fu stood up and said, "It's okay, I'll go." Prince An naturally wouldn't leave him, just nodded slightly.

Deu Jun Fu walked out with the document bag and the booklet. When he reached the door, he stopped and looked back at the man sitting behind the desk, "Are you going to let it go?"

Prince Ann looked up at him and asked, "Then what do you think I can do?"

Duke Jun shrugged and said, "To be honest, the people from your Xiao family... I wouldn't care about their lives if I changed them. If you hadn't had to protect some royal family, you wouldn't have been there for more than 20 years. Crouching in this little yard."

Prince An shook his head and smiled, "Which one do you think is more comfortable, sitting in the palace or sitting here? Besides, you and Long Xiao can rest assured that I am sitting in the palace, but it does not mean that others are also at ease. But...if you want to It's not impossible to help me."

Deu Jun Fu refused without hesitation, "I didn't want to help you, we don't have that friendship."

Prince An smiled, "Aren't you going to listen?"

Fu Dujun said, "Tell me, you won't lose a piece of meat."

Prince An said, "As long as An Xia is officially unified, I can naturally go out. No one has any opinion on what you are doing now, but if there is a fight in the future and it cannot be resolved quickly, people may start to miss the royal family. What?"

Duke Jun sneered, "I thought you could say something amazing, but unfortunately the labor and management don't have that ability, you can go to Long Xiao."

Prince An was not in a hurry, smiled and said, "You don't have that ability, I think your Fengcheng is quite capable. Otherwise, in the future, send Fengcheng's son here, and I will help you teach him?"

Fu Dujun disliked the authentic, "Don't, no one in my old Fu family wants to be the emperor, let alone... Even if you are an emperor, you are very easy to be, and you want to teach others? Don't misunderstand people's children."

Watching Commander Fu leave, Prince An couldn't help laughing, shaking his head and taking a sip of tea.

"Third Master." The housekeeper came in and looked a little surprised at Prince An's appearance, "Third Master is in a good mood."

Prince An nodded and smiled, "It's not bad, Fu Zheng...is quite entertaining."

The housekeeper couldn't help but secretly wiped a sweat, but no one outside thought that Dujun Fu could be amused. That person is also a master who can pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. He looks rough and informal, and he has deep scheming.

Prince An said with a smile, rubbed his temples and said, "Show me the list of officials in the court and the list of people in the capital."

The housekeeper was a little surprised, "What is the third master looking at?"

Prince An frowned and said, "I've been thinking about it for more than half a year, and I always feel that... this person is not acting like these people who are messing with the situation now, but he is vaguely familiar with it. He is probably an old friend of the past. Look carefully. Looking for the directory before and after the palace change, it is no accident that it is among these people."

The housekeeper nodded and said, "Yes, I'll find it right away."

As soon as Dujun Fu returned home, the housekeeper greeted him and said respectfully, "Overseer."

Duke Fu nodded and asked casually, "Where's the eldest couple?"

The housekeeper replied, "Young Master and Young Madam are in the backyard."

"Let them come to the study to meet me." Du Jun Fu said.

The housekeeper left in response, and Dujun Fu turned around and went directly to the study.

After a while, Leng Sa and Fu Fengcheng pushed open the door and came in. Leng Sa asked with a smile, "Is there anything the Overseer called us?"

Fu Dujun threw the document bag in his hand, and Fu Fengcheng took it in his hand and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Du Jun said, "You two have a look."

Then the two sat down, took out the documents and looked at them together. There is too much content in this document, and it will not be enough to read it in an hour and a half, so both of them only read the first few pages before raising their heads and putting the document aside.

Duke Jun asked, "How is it?"

Leng Sa blinked her eyes and said nothing. She's not very good at these things, she just wants to join in the fun. If she had to sum up her feelings after watching it, it would probably be—although I couldn't understand it, it seemed to be very powerful.

Du Jun looked at Fu Fengcheng and asked, "How is it?"

Fu Fengcheng said solemnly, "Very good."

"That's it?" Fu Dujun glared at his son with some dissatisfaction, and Fu Fengcheng raised his eyebrows, "What else can we do? This plan is indeed very good, but... If An Xia is still the way she is now, it is almost impossible to realize it. If Anxia can be unified in ten or twenty years, there are many things that need to be changed. Where did father... get it from?"

"You guessed it." Governor Fu said with a little smugness.

Master Fu was speechless. After a while, he said lightly, "The handwriting looks like a lady's. There should be only one person in An Xia who can write this thing and get it into his father's hands. As for the above. Annotation...Prince Ann."

Duke Fu was a little surprised, "How did you know that?"

Fu Fengcheng said, "I have seen Prince An's handwriting."

“…”

After a while of silence, Du Jun Fu snorted softly, "Okay, let's ignore these things that are too far away, and talk about the recent events in the capital."

Fu Fengcheng nodded and said: "The award ceremony will be three days later, and the Nile people will also come to the capital in two days to discuss the matter of returning Sedan. In addition... How should the Sun family handle it? Are you planning?"

Dujun Fu frowned and said, "Just now, Sun Liang was still spraying labor and capital at the meeting. Those who didn't know thought that his Sun family had suffered a lot of grievances."

Fu Fengcheng frowned, "You don't plan to announce what Sun Rui did?"

Duke Fu frowned and said, "The Sun family occupies the southwestern border, and a large area borders the Nile. Once they are pushed into a hurry, no one can predict what will happen. Both the military and the cabinet hope to temporarily appease Sun Liang. , slowly drawing it."

Fu Fengcheng frowned, obviously not satisfied with this disposal method, "What about detaining Sun Liang directly in the capital?"

Duke Fu sneered, "You detain Sun Liang today, and tomorrow another person from the Sun family will come out and fight for Sun Liang's revenge. The Sun family is a bunch of bandits and bullies, and you can expect them to take care of anything. The idea of ​​the overall situation? They will only be happy that Sun Liang is gone, so they can take the seat by themselves."

Leng Sa said: "Is that the case?"

"Naturally it can't be done like this." Fu Dujun said, "It's just that now... people don't agree."

Only after the Central Plains Dingding had the time to deal with frontier issues. And now the entire Anxia is still divided into separate governments, who has the time to manage the frontier?

The place where the Sun family lived has always been a savage land in the outer borders of the territory. When the national strength of the Central Plains is strong, they can still suppress them. Once the national strength declines, they will be the first to cause chaos.

Even if it is said that it is possible to send troops to suppress it, then the question arises, who will send troops? Who pays? How are the spoils divided? Is the local army worried about letting the central army pass from its own territory? The central army is not worried that the local army will set fire behind its own ass? If the few families next to the Sun family are allowed to send their own troops, will other forces be willing to see the expansion of Song Shenliang's three families?

Maybe in the end, the mighty crusade army was pinned down by all parties and still couldn't beat the Sun family, which would be a shame.

Just like today, don't people know what Sun Rui did? Why can Sun Liang be allowed to speak nonsense at the conference? Isn't it just because some people don't want to clean up Sun Liang at all? With Sun Liang, a mad dog, other warlords can also be restrained.

Leng Sa slumped on Fu Fengcheng's shoulder, instantly feeling very boring.

Fu Fengcheng helped her sit up and squeezed her slender hand slightly.

Fu Fengcheng raised his head and said to Du Jun Fu, "Let Sun Rui stay in the capital, and... let Sun Liang send his fifth son, Sun Duo, to the capital."

Dujun Fu frowned slightly, "Sun Duo? I remember that kid... is only eighteen years old?"

Fu Fengcheng said, "He is more capable than Sun Rui. Even without this incident, Sun Rui may not be able to fight him."

Duke Jun was a little surprised, "Are you sure? I haven't heard of the great things about the fifth young master of the Sun family." Sun Rui is much older than his younger brother, even an 18-year-old child. However, this is too wasteful.

Fu Fengcheng looked at his father with a deep look and did not speak, but Dujun Fu was suddenly dumbfounded. After thinking for a moment, he patted the table and said, "Okay, just do as you said!"

Leng Sa is not very involved in the intrigue between these big bosses in the capital. In fact, she doesn't understand many of the relationships.

In contrast, Leng Sa was more curious about the so-called behind-the-scenes boss and the affairs of Gong Si and Xing Wei.

The two had just come out of the study, and Xu Shaoming and Su Ze had already returned and were waiting for them.

Xu Shaoming handed over a document and said, "Young Master, Young Madam, this is Ms. Zhuo's biographical information and all the information before and after the palace change. It has been re-checked by people in the capital, and it is accurate. The rate should be quite high."

Fu Fengcheng picked it up and didn't open it immediately, just nodded and looked at Su Ze, Su Ze said, "Princess Chaoyang is currently imprisoned in the palace, Madam Xing and Gong Sihe are both locked in a special prison, and they need to visit Special approval. Except for her son, there were 11 people who visited Mrs. Xing recently, including three senior cabinet officials, two senior military generals, two from the business community, and four from the literary and art circles. They tried to get her out of prison. The three are Song Xuan, vice-minister of the Executive Yuan, vice-principal of the National Military Academy, General Wang Zhaohe, and Li Zhi, a well-known wealthy businessman in the capital, all of whom coincide with those who visited Xing Wei."

"Did someone assassinate Xing Wei?" Fu Fengcheng asked.

Su Ze's expression changed slightly, looked at Fu Fengcheng in surprise and nodded, "Yes, Xing Wei was poisoned twice from the time she got off the ship to the way back to Beijing. After she was imprisoned, guards tried to kill her, but Neither succeeded."

Young Master specially arranged someone to protect Xing Wei in advance. Did he already know that the guards in the special prison were unreliable?

Fu Fengcheng lowered his eyes and pondered something, Su Ze continued, "We have also checked these people, most of them have personal friends with Xing Wei, and even those who do not have personal friends have expressed their affection for Xing Wei on various occasions. Whether there is a deeper relationship between them is still under investigation. But..."

Su Ze looked at Fu Fengcheng hesitantly, Fu Fengcheng said indifferently, "Speak."

Su Ze said, "We have no direct evidence that Leng Yan's death and other matters are related to Xing Wei, and Princess Chaoyang's statement cannot accuse Xing Wei of participating in the murder of Leng Yan. Deputy Minister Lu said that he should do it. What, please, young and old, as soon as possible, otherwise I am afraid that the prison can only release people." Just helping to dispose of the corpse is not enough for people like Xing Wei to go to prison.

I have to say that the other party did this very cleanly. Even Princess Chaoyang couldn't come up with conclusive evidence to accuse Xing Wei, not to mention Princess Chaoyang might not cooperate.

Fu Fengcheng nodded and said, "I see, I'll see Xing Wei tomorrow."

Leng Sa sat beside Fu Fengcheng and flipped through the information in his hand, while listening to Su Ze's report one by one. After Su Ze finished speaking, he asked, "What does this person have to do with Xing Wei?"

Su Ze looked down and said clearly, "This Guo Ruyun is a well-known painter in the capital, but I have never heard of him having an extraordinary close relationship with Xing Wei. And he is two years younger than Xing Wei. No one in their teens thinks about that, they are all engaged in literature and art, so they must have some friendship, right?"

Leng Sa shook his head and said, "No, there is a problem with his life resume, as well as his daily expenses and income. The most important thing is... Didn't you find out that the prison guard tried to murder Xing Wei when he went to see him. After Xing Wei."

Su Ze was startled, took over the documents and compared them carefully, only to find that they were right.

Hello everyone, our official account will find gold and coin red packets every day, just follow and you can get them. The last benefit at the end of the year, please seize the opportunity. Public account [Book Friends Base Camp]

However, Guo Ruyun is just an ordinary painter. He has no power or power, and even to visit Xing Wei is accompanied by another painting circle who has a deep friendship with Xing Wei. No one thinks that Xing Wei can be assassinated. What does he have to do with it.

Even they mostly focus on the big guys in front of them.

Su Ze looked left and right with a few documents, and couldn't help asking, "Young Madam, how do you see that there is a problem with his income and expenses?" He really didn't see that.

Leng Sa raised her eyebrows and said, "His paintings are not worth that money at all. Look carefully at the people who bought his paintings at high prices? Are there any collectors who really like paintings or are powerful collectors?"

Su Ze hesitantly turned to the page of the painting sales record, stared at it for a long time before finally cursing, "This is such a little white face."

It's just that he is much more low-key than Xing Wei, and probably doesn't dare to do anything with those powerful ladies, so no one pays attention to it.

However, this is still a little weaker than the evidence for skeptics.

Su Ze looked at Fu Fengcheng, and Fu Fengcheng calmly said, "Will you know if you ask?"

Su Ze instantly understood, "Understood, young master."
