In the post house, Lin Feng and Lu Guang sat opposite each other.
Lu Guang looked solemn and said: "My lord, do we really want to go to war with the Hu family in the future? The Hu family, as nobles of the Qin State, are members of the military. During this period of time, I have learned about the history of the Qin State, Hu Xiao He is the first person in the military of the previous generation."
"Although Hu Xiao has been in office for a long time and has lost enough influence, he is still there after all, and he still has some connections."
"A fight would not be good for the Duke."
"It may even make people think that the Duke bullies others and bullies the weak wantonly. I am very satisfied with the Duke supporting me. Duke, there is actually no need to continue fighting. By then, both sides will lose, and it will not be worthwhile."
Lu Guang was very depressed before and was in a very low mood.
He has been a proud man since he was a child and is loved by his family. He had always been respectful to others, but this time he suffered an unreasonable disaster, which made Lu Guang feel aggrieved.
Lin Feng stood up to support him.
Lu Guang was very moved.
At this point, Lu Guang felt that it was enough. More revenge, a gentleman's revenge is never too late, he has enough time to operate.
In ten years, he will inevitably rise in Da Qin.
By then, he will get them back one by one.
Lin Feng chuckled and said: "You think it will be a lose-lose situation, but for me, in fact, it is not a problem at all. This time Hu Xiao is going to fight to the end, so we can't let it go."
"Let me put it more clearly. This time you were humiliated, I'm afraid, it's not just Hu Biao. Maybe someone couldn't stand you when it came to the imperial examination, and wanted to deliberately humiliate you and humiliate the person who topped the imperial examination. That's why this happened. thing."
A flash of light flashed across Lu Guang's eyes, and he was very surprised.
This was something he had never imagined.
From beginning to end, Lu Guang thought Hu Biao was a dude, domineering and unscrupulous, so he humiliated him.
This is a very normal logic.
However, as soon as Lin Feng spoke, Lu Guang felt that there was something wrong with this matter. He had already given way to the carriage that Hu Biao was riding in. Hu Biao was in the carriage at that time and did not see him. Why did he stop specifically to target him?
Lu Guang said: "My lord, do we want to get to the bottom of it?"
"certainly!"
Lin Feng looked serious and said: "At this point, it involves not only your personal honor and disgrace, but also the imperial examination. Otherwise, you will be humiliated, and everyone will despise the scholars who came out of the imperial examination and think that the scholars who passed the imperial examination are easy to bully."
"Many people don't know your origins and regard you as the leader of poor scholars. Suppressing you will suppress the morale of other imperial examinations. Therefore, we cannot retreat and there is no way out."
"Anyone who has thoughts about the imperial examination must be dealt with and no one will be spared."
"Before, they were targeting me, intending to delay the imperial examination. But His Majesty loves me and stands by me unconditionally, so they did not dare to target me. When the imperial examination was turned, they intended to replace the scholars. This matter was also Failed."
"Now, I have retreated to the next best thing, and I will go one step further to humiliate people and attack you."
"In short, there is no room for compromise in disputes involving interests. As long as the disciples of the poor family exist, the children of the rich family will naturally be in opposition to the noble family. Even if the relationship between the poor family and the noble family is harmonious in private, most people in the name of the family are still It’s hard to coordinate.”
Lu Guang nodded and said, "I understand what the Duke said. So, how do we deal with the Hu family?"
Lin Feng said: "It's actually very easy."
"Bang! Bang!"
There was a knock on the door, and Gao Xiaoyu entered and reported: "Master, Hu Xiao wants to see you."
Lin Feng's brows rose. When he left the Hu family, Hu Xiao had a tough attitude, unwilling to give in, and ready to fight to the end.
Now, he actually came in person.
It's a bit surprising.
Lu Guang said: "My lord, is it possible that the other party's plan is to surrender?"
"Maybe it is. You will know it when you see it."
Lin Feng nodded and ordered: "Gao Xiaoyu, let someone come in."
"Here!"
Gao Xiaoyu turned around to inform.
Hu Xiao entered the room, he clasped his hands, bowed respectfully and said: "My lord, I am here to apologize. Our Hu family is willing to admit our mistakes. I agree to the lord's conditions. Hu Biao has already left the Hu family's door. Start outside, kneel one step at a time, and come towards the direction of the post house to apologize to Lu Guang. In addition, Dou Yan has disabled his martial arts and his Dantian has been destroyed. He was carried outside and asked the Duke to check."
Hu Rui echoed: "Please show your respect, Lord. The Hu family knows their mistake."
Lin Feng said: "I'm very curious. You were arrogant at first and respectful at the other. You insisted on fighting before, but why have you given in now?"
Hu Xiao looked lonely and explained: "Although Hu Biao is naughty, he is my grandson after all. If the conflict between Hu Biao and Lu Guang is a personal grudge, or even if Hu Biao is domineering and insulting, I, the Hu family, are willing to apologize. If the Duke doesn’t accept it, then I’ll have to give it a try.”
"Even if I show my face like this, I still have to fight with the Duke. After all, it's just a personal grudge, and I won't cripple martial arts at every turn."
"But earlier, I interrogated Hu Biao, the evildoer, and found out that he was instigated by others to deal with Lu Guang."
"The other party's conditions are even more ridiculous. He just said that he would take him to Baihualou, and he went crazy to deal with Lu Guang. This evildoer doesn't understand, and he doesn't know the consequences. I know that this involves the imperial examination. .”
"The imperial examination is Qin's national policy. If someone intends to deal with the leader of the imperial examination, things will be different."
"This involves important political matters."
Hu Xiao sighed: "At this point, how can I continue to fight? Fighting against the Duke, even if I have ten more courages, even if I am more powerful, I will still die. So I, the Hu family, recognize it and are willing to come beg for mercy."
thump!
Hu Xiao knelt down with his head and said, "Please raise your noble hand and spare the Hu family. I, the Hu family, are willing to be punished."
"Please raise your noble hand, Lord."
Hu Rui knelt down.
Both father and son were frustrated.
Cheating!
Trick grandpa!
Hu Biao, an evil beast and a playboy, actually used him as a knife to deal with the imperial examination, which put the Hu family in trouble.
Lin Feng also understood.
It has to be said that Hu Xiao is a character with a sharp eye and can see through the essence at a glance. The personal grudge between Lu Guang and Hu Biao was fought to the end. Even if the emperor favored Lin Feng, nothing would happen to the Hu family.
When it came to the imperial examination, the Hu family simply couldn't handle it.
Lin Feng said in a deep voice: "Who is the person who instigated Hu Biao?"
Hu Xiao replied: "It was Xiahou En who instigated it. The Xiahou family is an old aristocrat of the Qin State. They are not strong in business and have some connections. The Duke should think twice before dealing with the Xiahou family."
"I will take care of the Xiahou family's affairs, so I won't worry about you." Lin Feng said, "Where is Dou Yan? Bring him in and let me take a look."
"Bring people in."
Hu Xiao gave an order.
The accompanying attendants carried Dou Yan in. Lin Feng glanced at him and could feel that Dou Yan's breathing was disordered and his breath was completely scattered. Gao Xiaoyu squatted down, carefully checked his pulse, and nodded towards Lin Feng.
Lin Feng did not agree immediately. He looked at Lu Guang and asked, "Lu Guang, what do you think?"
Lu Guang said: "Let's end the matter with the Hu family."
Dou Yan was disabled in martial arts, and Hu Biao, an idiot, was still kneeling on his way here. This was enough.
Lin Feng nodded and said: "Dong An Guo, you have been a hero all your life, but it is because your grandson is in danger. Teach your descendants well and don't let people like Hu Biao appear again. If you are used again and are used as a gunman, An Guo The government will be completely destroyed."
"I will keep the teachings of Duke Zhenguo in mind."
Hu Xiao answered directly.
He felt very disappointed because what happened to Hu Biao had hit him hard. He strives to be strong all his life, but his children and grandchildren cannot live up to his expectations.
Lin Feng said: "Step back."
Hu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, bowed again, stood up and left with Hu Rui and Dou Yan.
Lu Guang asked: "My lord, Xiahou En can command Hu Biao, I'm afraid the Xiahou family is extraordinary. How should we take action?"
Lin Feng just said that he must take action, but he was still very curious.
Lin Feng has always been very resourceful.
How will they deal with the Xiahou family?
