"Please~"

Chen Xu personally filled Meng Yi with a cup of bright red Qinghe wine.

Although I knew that something was almost uncontrollable, as the tycoon of the dynasty, the two had already had a strong mentality of not changing their faces and their faces collapsed. They picked up the wine glass and picked up the chopsticks without changing their hearts, and began to eat and drink slowly. After eating three glasses of wine, Meng Yi also tasted each dish. After using a napkin, Meng Yi leaned on the back of the chair with his mouth and said: "Late last night, I suddenly received a secret letter from Chunfangyuan. The content made me panic and I almost didn't close my eyes all night!"

Chen Xu, however, seemed to be unheard of, and said while eating: "No wonder my father-in-law came in just now with a tired look with dark circles. My son-in-law thought you had taken a few more concubines recently, and he was a little overworked?"

"Don't talk about me, when are you going to ask Wan'er to add a grandson to me?" Meng Yi glared at the dark circle.

"Don't worry, my son-in-law has worked very hard!"

"Hmph, why don't I be anxious? By the way, your legitimate daughter will leave one for my grandson!"

Chen Xu looked at the gangster father-in-law with a black head: "My father-in-law, our two families are in-laws, how can my daughter marry back?"

"How can't you? Li Si's legitimate grandson married the princess, and his granddaughter married the princes. This kind of relatives is more harmonious between the nobles and the princes. Don't you want to be a relative of my Meng family? Could it be that my Meng family's two nobles insulted your immortal disciples?" Meng Yi looked at Chen Xu with his beard and stared at him.

"My father-in-law should care more about Lu Xiao, otherwise, don't you think you'll get married, it's a different matter if Montessus is still here next year!" Chen Xu put down his chopsticks with laughter and cry.

Meng Yi's hand stroking his beard shook, pinching a few beards and staring at Chen Xu blankly, and said in amazement: "You...you already know?"

"Yeah!" Chen Xu nodded slightly, picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth clean and leaned on the back of the chair and said, "In the blink of an eye, Hu Hai and Zhao Hai's intention to usurp the throne became more and more rampant. His father-in-law was in charge of the provincial supervisory officials. Although Zhao Hai was not an official, there must be many court officials and important officials of Qinghou who came and went with him. There were only two or three people in Xianyang that could make his father-in-law feel difficult to lose control. Among these two or three, except me and Feng Xiang, you can't compete with you!"

"I thought you really knew, but now it's just speculation!" Meng Yi breathed a sigh of relief, but his face became more serious, and his eyebrows were twisting in a straight line. "Lu Xiao did have a problem. Last night, the fourth brother Meng Hao sent a secret letter from Chunfangyuan, which was written by Lin Xianer. He said that Lu Xiao had lost more than 500,000 yuan in Chunfangyuan in the past three months. She felt that it was a trap set by Zhao Hai and others on purpose against Lu Xiao. Lu Xiao's family background was also a little bit. In addition to the official rank and the fiefs of 3,000 households,

There are only two or three small commercial properties. None of his family is good at doing business. His annual income is not rich. He has been a little looser in recent years because his third son Lu Rang followed you to work on Cuju League and gambling companies and earned some money, totaling more than one million yuan. However, last year he bought a 200-acre piece of land near Cuju Field to prepare for the construction of a mansion. He heard that he had spent all his savings for several years. Today, I arranged for someone to check it out. It seemed that the house had stopped working, so it should be that he really had no money..."

As one of the three major officials in the court who squatted in the open and dark areas all day long, Meng Yi's duty was not to participate in politics and make efforts to capture the small braids of civil and military officials. Therefore, Meng Yi knew almost everything about the civil and military officials in the capital, how many people and money are there in his family, how many concubines have, what kind of hobbies do they have, and whether they like to drip wax or tie them up at night. Chen Xu even believed that all the civil and military officials in the court had eyes and ears and ears and ears and ears of the supervisory province everywhere, including Chen Xu's mansion.

Faced with such a court hawk and a disagreeable personality, Chen Xu didn't like to interact with Meng Yi. He was not a festival or a discussion, and his relationship between the father-in-law and son-in-law can be said to be like a gentleman's friendship and as plain as water.

Meng Yi didn't like to interact with Chen Xu, and always felt that Chen Xu was extremely dark-hearted and dark inside. Fortunately, because of the interests of the two families and the father-in-law and son-in-law, he had always been in close contact. Faced with the unpredictable future, facing the nine-year disaster that Chen Xu mentioned, facing the secretly planned Hu Hai and Zhao Hai's group to usurp the throne and the future of the Montessori, Meng Yi could only join forces with Chen Xu.

The fact that Lu Xiao might have defected to Hu Hai was too sudden, which made Meng Yi, who had always been in danger, feel a little helpless.

Once the lieutenant and imperial guards lose control, it can be said that the entire Xianyang will fall into Hu Hai's hands. In addition, the imperial order is in hand. As long as the First Emperor fails to make a mistake, even if he makes a crown prince in advance, he may be turned over by Hu Hai.

Chen Xu didn't know anything about Lu Xiao losing 500,000 yuan in Chunfangyuan. Therefore, when Meng Yi said it, he immediately frowned and began to ponder. After a while, his eyes lit up and said, "It seems that Lu Xiao has not completely defected to Zhao Hai, otherwise Zhao Hai would not have done this game to constantly empty Lu Xiao's wealth!"

"Well, your speculation makes sense!" Meng Yi thought about it slightly and understood.

"Although Lu Xiao is in charge of the Lieutenant's Mansion and is under the command of the four battalions of imperial guards, he is not the only one who has the final say. In critical moments, the commanders of the Fourth Battalion can almost accept the emperor's control alone. Even if they want to mobilize guards that exceed normal patrols, the commanders of each battalion also need to conduct military inspection talismans and even the emperor's orders. Therefore, even if Lu Xiao turns aside, not the entire Lieutenant's Imperial Guard will obey his command. Lu Xiao naturally understands this situation. Therefore, even if Zhao Hai and Hu Hai gave him great temptation, he is still hesitating and even waiting. At present, no one except you, me and the Marquis of Jingwu, knows that Your Majesty may have a great disaster next year, so there is still time and space for operation. You must find a way to calm Lu Xiao down." Chen Xu continued his speculation just now.

"Hmph, even though Lu Xiao was still hesitating and watching, he must have known Hu Hai and Zhao Hai's intention to rebel. When he encountered this, he actually concealed it and refused to report it. His intention was to be punished!" Meng Yi snorted coldly.

"My father-in-law knows it, but my father-in-law didn't tell His Majesty?" Chen Xu looked at Meng Yi with a black thread on his head.

"This is different. I listened to you, and you calculated it based on the Book of Heaven. Now, except for the nine-year disaster you mentioned, there is no evidence of Hu Hai and Zhao Hai's rebellion. A royal uncle who is highly respected by Your Majesty, a young man, what do you want me to say? Your Majesty the whole world trusts and favors you the most. As long as you suggest that Zhao Hai and Hu Hai intend to rebel, Lu Xiao has a ill intention, and there will be a thunder storm immediately. This matter will be clear and sunrise in an instant, but why don't you say it, and you will also pull me, Meng Shi, into this chaos?" Meng Yi held the wine glass and looked at Chen Xu tightly.

Lu Xiao's affairs have already made him lose some in size. Even if Chen Xu speculated that Lu Xiao had not completely turned to Zhao Hai, he might not be able to fully control the fourth battalion of the Imperial Guards. However, Lu Xiao was too powerful and too sensitive. Once the matter of surrendering to Hu Hai's future usurpation of the throne began, there would be no big problem with Lu Xiao's control of the entire Xianyang important minister Qinghou. Under the threat of life and death and the fear of taking the rat, many people would instantly change their positions.

"My father-in-law cannot say it, and even more so, I said that the secret of heaven cannot be revealed. If I told Your Majesty this, the great disaster next year may be the death of your son-in-law. Besides, there are many rumors among the people at present. The Qin Dynasty can have no king, but not the Qinghe Marquis. This is a heart-blame. An imperial uncle, a young man, and a grand minister who guards Xianyang City are all his majestic humerals and blood-kind confidants. Therefore, without any certainty and evidence, I can't say anything!" Chen Xu smiled bitterly, and at the same time, he felt that the current situation was a bit tricky, just like Meng Yi.

Fortunately, I already knew about Lu Xiao in advance and had the opportunity and time to make a move. I wouldn't realize that I could only fight for one game at the end. Chen Xu was not very worried about the outcome, but that would inevitably lead to the entire Xianyang blood flowing, which was unacceptable to Chen Xu.

"What should we do now? Lu Xiao is not a powerless and powerful Queen. Once he notices that someone is secretly investigating him, it will inevitably be a bloody storm!" The two of them stared at each other and then Meng Yi spoke dejectedly.

"Lu Xiao neither told His Majesty nor refused Zhao Hai and Hu Hai, which means he was still hesitating and struggling in his heart. Zhao Hai used gambling to plot against him, with the purpose of pulling him completely into the water. Now it is probably going to be successful. We must start to control Lu Xiao before Zhao Hai!" Chen Xu said after a moment of silence.

"I'm afraid it's not easy. Lu Xiao is not easy to deal with. It's useless to rely on power to oppress him alone. Now that he has been exhausted by Zhao Hai's calculations, the most lacking is money, and maybe he can tempt it!"

"Inducement is just one of them. The reason why Lu Xiao took such a great risk to conceal it was because Hu Hai promised to grant him a prince and become the king of a country after the matter was completed."

"What? How do you... how do you know?" Meng Yi stood up suddenly, pinched the wine glass and looked at Chen Xu with a trembling trembling.

"I also know that Zhao Hai intends to acquire a large number of muskets and ammunition from the arsenal. In order to win over Lu Xiao, they operated to give Lu Xiao the development license for the largest silver mine in Yingzhou to Lu Xiao!" Chen Xu continued to throw out the second news that shocked Meng Yi with a calm expression.

"So that's it... So that's it. I finally know. The Ministry of Revenue Order Shen Gongyan had already defected to Hu Hai!" Meng Yi sat down with a pale face, his chest was fluctuating violently, and he could see the violent emotional fluctuations. After a long time, he looked up at Chen Xu, "You have not been in the court for half a year, and have never been in and out of Chunfang Garden, and have never dated Hu Hai and others. How did you know the inside story? Don't tell me that it was written in the heavenly book..."

"Lu Jia Sanlang!" Chen Xu gently spit out four words.
