As one of the famous furnaces in later generations, Wuchang was also very hot in June this year. Even the cicadas on the tree were no longer noisy around noon, and the people in the city who had not yet completely escaped from the disaster were naturally even more difficult.

The hot weather makes the people have to endure hardships at home and usually don’t dare to go out without any trouble. This makes the entire Wuchang City look even more depressed, which leads to more people having no food and clothing and having difficulty surviving.

Of course, such a harsh climate did not have much impact on those rich and powerful people. Some of them were able to escape the summer heat and cool. For example, in the governor's yamen, Huguang Governor Jiang Guixun was leaning on a lounge chair. Several ice basins filled with ice were placed in the corner of the ventilated and cool hall, which reduced the indoor temperature. At the same time, two servants behind him were gently fanning him and sending the cool breeze to him.

But in this environment that is no less than that of the air-conditioned rooms in later generations, Governor Jiang, who was half-closed, still sweating on his forehead, and his face was even more irritable. Of course, this is not because he is afraid of the heat and cannot feel relaxed, but because he is worried, which causes his internal fire to be constantly. Therefore, no matter how cool the outside is, he cannot feel comfortable.

And the trouble in his heart at this time came from a separate recital from a subordinate of a yamen who was not very noticeable a few days ago: "Master Futai, everyone knows that the Hu family is close to you, but now his family is attacking the imperial envoy. If it is done, once the matter is passed back to the capital, your conspiracy to kill the imperial envoy will surely be confirmed. How can you deal with it at that time?

"Of course, there is also a possibility, that is, Li Ling was not poisoned, but instead took down all the Hu family members. However, in this way, the situation will only make you worse, because he will soon find out that there is a plan of my Holy Teaching afterwards, and this will confirm the "truth" between you and our Holy Teaching. The crime will be even greater, and it is not an exaggeration to make a rebellion.

"You don't have to think that Li Ling will let you go with wise eyes. You should be clearer than me. Doing any means to seek goals is a necessary quality for people in the officialdom? And Li Ling came to Huguang to find out all kinds of illegal acts in disaster relief, but in fact, it is to eliminate dissidents, especially those who are close to the prince like Futai, who are close to the prince, who is his goal to deal with it quickly. Now that he has such a good opportunity in front of him, how could Li Ling let it go?

"So Lord Futai, you only have two options left. One is to wait for death, just wait for Li Ling to come with many witnesses, and then take you as an imperial envoy; or if he is dead, the court will send a large army to take you; the other is to fight for you and give him a first move. With the power and forces in the hands of Lord Futai, it is not difficult to get rid of the so-called imperial envoy.

"The former will die, and the latter will have at least 50% of its vitality. Master Futai, please think carefully. If you choose the latter, my Holy Teaching can still cooperate with you. Then you and I will join forces to take over the entire Huguang, and use this as the foundation to disrupt the world. It may not be impossible to compete in the Central Plains."

Jiang Guixun really never dreamed that there were people from the Luotian Sect hidden in the governor's yamen. And the other party dared to reveal his identity, and he would hesitate and dare not act rashly if he was sure.

This is the case. Since he learned about this, he fell into deep panic and entanglement. This incident was completely beyond his expectations. He didn't even know that the foreign businessman who claimed to be sharp was actually the imperial envoy sent by the court, Li Ling, the patrol and resettlement envoy!

If this is true, it means that Li Ling has found out that many of his illegal acts have been found. He has no idea how much relevant evidence and evidence he has obtained. In addition, the conflict between him and Li Ling is completely irreconcilable, and it is a life-and-death situation.

No, in fact, even if the Luotian Sect did not take advantage of the situation, he actually had no better choice. He has long admired Li Ling's name. He is a guy who acted decisively and ruthlessly and did not talk about officialdom. What's more, he has essential conflicts, he is considered half a prince's party, but he is a member of the newly-emerged British King's Party. Now there are many frictions in the court, so it is naturally impossible to calm down when he reaches the local area. The evidence of crimes he has mastered is enough to bring himself down.

"I must not wait for death, but if I really want to cooperate with the Luotian sect, will I really rebel? Apart from that, there is no better solution?" As I thought, Jiang Guixun was sweating and suddenly spoke: "Didn't you eat? Surge it harder!"

The two servants were so scared that they shivered by his scolding and quickly fanned harder, but the effect was really not very good. As they thought more, Lord Jiang's heart became more and more irritable, and the sweat was even more irritable.

Just as the two of them were trembling and waiting desperately to be punished, a follower came to the front of the hall: "Master, Hu Wenze is looking for a meeting again."

Hearing this, Jiang Guixun suddenly opened his eyes, waved his hand angrily and asked the two to retreat, saying, "He has some perseverance and has blocked him five or six times, and he has come every day. Then let him come in."

The follower agreed and went to send the order. After a while, the head of the Hu family, Hu Wenze, who was also sweating and sweating on his face, panted heavily and came to the front of the hall with a crutch. As soon as he saw Governor Jiang, he quickly knelt down: "Sir Futai, please help me, please help me, please save my Hu family..." As he said that, he also kowtowed hard and kowtowed him there, which scared the follower who brought him in.

As soon as he heard his words, Jiang Guixun knew that the statement was true, which made his face suddenly gloomy. He stared at the old man who was still kowtowing: "You Hu family are seeking death by themselves, and they are also implicated in this official. Now they dare to come and ask me for help?"

The obvious angry words made Hu Wenze's movements stop suddenly. He immediately understood that Lord Futai really knew about that, which made him even more frightened: "Sir... that is the young man who is ignorant, and he will do such a wrong thing if he is used by someone..."

"Are you just a wrong thing? That's asking for death! Do you know what Li Ling is and how powerful he is? Even my official dares to touch him easily. You are so good that you dare to poison him. You really don't know how to live or die!

"Now, the matter has been done, but you are scared and want to ask me to help you? Do you think my official is the prime minister of the Political Affairs Hall or the crown prince of the current dynasty, and can you have such a powerful face to help you solve the problem?"

The scolding of Hu Wenze made him afraid to speak, so he could only kneel down and bow his head, looking like he confessed his guilt. However, the look of fear was almost on the face on the ground. The more severe the other party said it, the greater the impact of this matter on him. With his understanding of the governor, this is not a master who is willing to wait for death.

Sure enough, after venting, Jiang Guixun hummed: "Get up and talk first."

"Yes, thank you Lord Futai." Hu Wenze stood up tremblingly, and then glanced at him, "Lord Futai, this matter..."

"It has happened, and it's too late to say anything. It can be said that the attack has already sent your entire Hu family to the fire since the unscrupulous nephew made this decision. Whether he succeeds or not, it will be a disaster." Jiang Guixun said with a cold face, "So in my opinion, you only have two ways to choose from, one is to sit and wait for Li Ling or the court to send someone to scout the house and destroy the family; the other is to have a big bet. Do you understand what this official means?"

Looking at the fierce murderous intent that appeared as the adult spoke, Hu Wenze was shocked again, but he nodded to show that he could understand.

"The Luotian Sect has also contacted you, and they told you about this, right?" Jiang Guixun asked again. At this point, there is nothing to hide. Hu Wenze nodded slightly: "The villain didn't expect such a thing to happen. Hu Yuanjue is really confused, damn it!"

"It's just that the Luotian Sect's people were too insidious. They had completely grasped the handle of you and me before suddenly exerting force and putting us in such a desperate situation. If we don't want to survive, we have no other choice." As he said that, he stared at the other party again, "But they don't want to be out of the matter. You go and contact them and say it's my intention, so that they can cooperate with your family to cause riots in the city. Once Li Ling or the new people from the court come to Wuchang, they will attack, and at all costs, they will eliminate all the people in the head!"

These words were so murderous intent that Hu Wenze was shocked. After a while, after swallowing his saliva, he nodded and said, "Xiao... I've recorded it."

"Also, this is just the first step. The troops stationed in various places in the city and several large military camps outside the city are also the key to whether we can successfully initiate. These people must be brought to our side. Do you understand what I mean?"

Of course, Hu Wenze understood that it was nothing more than spending money and spending a lot of money to buy all the generals and officers, which would obviously be a huge sum of money. But this amount of money was not worth mentioning compared to the survival of the Hu family, so he did not hesitate and agreed: "I will make arrangements when I go back and let them use it as soon as possible..."
