Xia Houen returned to the family in embarrassment, injured.
He entered the study, saw Xiahou Zhen, sat down slumped, and said helplessly: "Father, my son failed to beg for mercy from Lin Feng. Even as soon as I entered Lin Feng's study, I kowtowed and begged for mercy, indicating that the Xiahou family was willing to pay the price. I beg Lin Feng for forgiveness."
"Hu Biao can kneel down and plead guilty step by step, and so can we. But Lin Feng rejected my proposal."
"The situation is very bad."
Xiahou En said seriously: "We are now in a desperate situation, and the Xiahou family is in great danger."
"As expected."
Xia Houzhen nodded in reply.
"Father, what should we do?"
Xia Houen asked again.
He was panicking because after much thought, he really couldn't think of any solution.
Xiahou Zhen looked at Xiahou En in front of him and sighed: "As of now, it's too late for the Xiahou family to do anything. There is no way, who made the Xiahou family want to gain benefits, but failed in the end? All this is to become a king. Defeat the enemy."
Xia Houen clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said, "Father, my son is unwilling to give in."
"Not willing?"
Xia Houzhen chuckled, his old face full of self-mockery, and said helplessly: "Who would be willing to do that? The plan of our father and son is only to target Lu Guang, in order to humiliate the poor people. Lin Feng has been excluded from our arrangements. "
"Everyone in Xianyang City knows that Lin Feng cannot be offended and cannot afford to offend him. But who knows that Lin Feng and Lu Guang are actually connected and have a close relationship. For a mere humiliation, Lin Feng directly stood up and said: Our Xiahou family pursued them fiercely."
Xiahou Zhen said: "You are not willing to give in, but you know how powerful Lin Feng is. Lin Feng is both civil and military. Can our Xiahou family take revenge on Lin Feng?"
Xia Houen said: "We can't afford to offend Lin Feng, so we will take revenge on Lu Guang. Anyway, this is what happened, let's just kill Lu Guang and take complete revenge."
"Do you want to die?"
Xia Houzhen suddenly raised his voice.
The sharp eyes had a touch of coldness and became more determined.
Xia Houen said: "Father, our Xiahou family is already like this. It's too late. What else are you thinking about? It's all about Lu Guang. Then kill Lu Guang and bury him with my Xiahou family."
Xia Houzhen snorted and scolded: "You are simply an idiot. Xia Houping and Xia Houlin were both punished, and Lin Feng was personally impeached. Wouldn't your Majesty know that? His Majesty has always been extremely concerned about Lin Feng's affairs. "
"Furthermore, if His Majesty knows that our Xiahou family killed Lu Guang, and it involves the imperial examination. Do you think His Majesty will keep the Xiahou family when the time comes? Now it is just a conflict between us and Lin Feng. Even if the life is difficult, we can still survive it. "
"Once it turns into a conflict between His Majesty and us, the entire Xiahou family will definitely die."
Xiahou Zhen said: "Do you want all the members of the Xiahou family to be buried with you and killed?"
"This won't work, that won't work either, what do you think we should do?"
Xia Houen was very irritable.
The family's industry continues to collapse, which means that the family will eventually be unable to survive.
How to run a family without money?
Xia Houzhen said: "Bake it up."
He poured a cup of tea for Xia Houen, handed it over, and said, "It's such a cold day, have a sip of tea. Thank you for your hard work going to see Lin Feng from home."
"My son is not working hard."
Xia Houen picked up the tea bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
Not to mention, I'm really thirsty.
Xiahou En continued: "Father, the situation is so unfavorable, we must preserve the foundation of the Xiahou family. If we cannot do this, there is no point in our survival. So I think..."
"ah!"
Xia Houen's face was full of pain.
He held his stomach and felt extremely uncomfortable. He asked, "Father, what did you do? Why do I feel so uncomfortable after drinking tea."
A trace of pain also appeared on Xia Houzhen's face, which was eventually replaced by determination, and he said: "The matter of dealing with Lu Guang started with you, and it will end with you. If you die, the Xiahou family will have a problem with this matter." Explained."
"me……"
Xiahou En opened his mouth to speak.
But he only felt uncomfortable all over. After struggling twice, he fell to the ground with a plop.
A person twitches twice and loses his breath.
Xia Houzhen clenched his fists. He could no longer maintain his composure and his breathing became rapid. After a while, Xia Houzhen regained his composure and ordered: "Come here."
The attendant entered and was shocked to see Xia Houen dead.
Xia Houzhen ordered: "Spread the news that Master En committed suicide and is preparing to arrange for his burial to be held in homage."
"Here!"
The attendant hurried away to make arrangements.
Xia Houzhen called the housekeeper of the house again and said directly: "Xia Houen is dead. If you spread the news to the outside world, after the first seven days after Xia Houen was buried, I will take the Xiahou family members away from Xianyang and return to Xianyang." Go live in your hometown.”
"Here!"
The butler agreed and left.
These arrangements are actually to tell Lin Feng that the person who planned the plot in my Xiahou family is dead, and I am willing to leave Xianyang.
Just don't continue to deal with the Xiahou family.
Xia Houzhen was sitting alone in the study, bursting into tears for a while. Xia Houen was the smarter child under his knees, but it was a pity that he ended up like this.
News about the Xiahou family spread quickly.
The news also reached the Lin family.
Lin Feng was also surprised when he received the news that Xia Houen had committed suicide. Xia Houen committed suicide directly. Based on the behavior of the wealthy family, it was definitely not Xia Houen who committed suicide, but was committed suicide. It must be that the Xiahou family sacrificed Xia Houen for their own interests.
Lin Feng did not inform the Lin family about lifting any restrictions on the Xiahou family.
Everything continues as usual.
Although Lin Feng did not take any action, the other big families in Xianyang City were all shocked. These people actually have great resistance to the poor people, but the strength of the major families is limited.
During the imperial examination selection, the major families considered many people, but not many were actually selected.
Even, it has not accounted for the main core.
Lin Feng didn't care about this. His idea was actually very simple. He wanted to make the major families stop caring about the poor families and not dare to deal with the poor people.
One day passed and the news spread completely.
Early the next morning, Lu Guang came again.
When Lu Guang saw Lin Feng, he bowed again and said, "Lu Guang is grateful for the Duke's care. Early this morning, I received a notice from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, asking me to go to Yangzhai County, Yingchuan County to serve as county commander. Order. I am ready to set off."
Lin Feng said: "Yangzhai County is the seat of Yingchuan County. Do your best after you go there. Now we arrange for you to go to Yingchuan. This was under the rule of the Xia Kingdom in the past. It is more complicated. It is not easy to govern the place. Work hard. Don’t let your opportunity slip by.”
Lu Guangdao: "I will follow the teachings of the Duke."
Lin Feng said: "Go slowly all the way. In short, I hope you can work steadfastly when you go somewhere. In addition, don't be afraid if something happens, you will just get back the letter."
Lu Guang bowed and left.
Lu Guang's departure means that all personnel in the imperial examination have been arranged.
Lin Feng was also at ease. As of now, Qin's first imperial examination has finally come to an end.
Lin Feng's mission was finally completed.
