Zhao Xu picked up the tea cup in front of him, took a sip of tea, and looked at Zhao Heng.
He couldn't be sure now who in the Zhao family was the traitor, but Zhao Xu was willing to believe Zhao Heng.
"Xiao Heng, do you really want to know the truth?" Zhao Xu asked.
"Yes!" Zhao Heng said with a determined tone. "I have the right to know the truth!"
"But if you know the truth and can't keep calm, you may be killed?"
"I'm not afraid!" Zhao Heng said: "The majesty of the Zhao family cannot be desecrated. I, Zhao Heng, would rather die standing than live on my knees and live like a slave."
Zhao Xu nodded and said, "I can tell you, but you have to agree to a condition."
"What conditions?" Zhao Heng asked.
"Be my internal correspondent for the Zhao family. If there is any trouble in the Zhao family, please notify me immediately. Otherwise, no need to talk!" Zhao Xu's tone left no room for doubt, leaving no room for maneuver.
If Zhao Heng agrees to Zhao Xu's conditions, it means that he is standing on Zhao Xu's side and on the opposite side of the Zhao family.
This is a painful choice!
Do you choose to believe in the Zhao family?
Or choose to believe Zhao Xu?
Zhao Heng felt very conflicted and was struggling fiercely in his heart.
Zhao Xu could understand Zhao Heng's mood at the moment and said, "Think about it! If you figure it out, come back to me." Zhao Xu stood up and wanted to leave.
"Wait a minute!" Zhao Heng called out to Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xugang sat down again after standing up, looked at Zhao Heng and asked, "Do you have the answer?"
Zhao Heng said: "I agree to your request and choose to know the truth!"
Zhao Xu smiled. If he could win Zhao Heng into his camp, he would have an extra chance of winning against the Zhao family's "Xiaotian Group".
If Zhao Xu took the initiative to find Zhao Heng, then it would be another matter.
Zhao Xu is willing to believe Zhao Heng for once, and also wants to use this to verify whether Zhao Heng is a person with evil intentions. This is not gambling, but a test for Zhao Heng. It's just that Zhao Heng doesn't know what Zhao Xu is thinking.
Zhao Xu took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit one and started smoking.
"Give me one!" Zhao Heng said.
Zhao Xu took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and threw it to Zhao Heng.
After Zhao Heng caught it, he picked up the lighter on the table, lit it and started smoking.
Zhao Xu blew out a few smoke rings and said with a solemn expression, "Xiao Heng, have you heard of Shen Wansan, the richest man in the Ming Dynasty?"
"Know!"
"Our ancestors were Shen Wansan's retainers. That's why our Zhao family is very rich. In addition, there are my mother Qin Wan's Qin family, Zhang family, Ma family and Xiao family. These five families are collectively called the five clans."
After Zhao Xu took a puff of cigarette, he paused and said: "We, the five tribes, are here to protect Duke Shen's treasure. It is rumored that he has a cornucopia and wealth that is unparalleled in the country. But after the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty took over the power, they have been tracing The breakthrough in the whereabouts of Duke Shen’s treasure lies in our five tribes. Over the past hundreds of years, not only our five tribes have passed down the inheritance, but also the eunuchs, factory dogs, Ouchi Jinyi guards and government officials. Now it is divided into four major groups. The forces are called Dongchang, Xichang, Jinyiwei and Liumen."
"These factory dogs are the mortal enemies and natural enemies of our five clans. According to Mr. Chen, our Zhao family is controlled by people from Xichang. But how Xichang controls our Zhao family is unknown. So, you Those two mysterious people should be from the West Factory."
After Zhao Heng listened to Zhao Xu's narration, he was stunned. Unexpectedly, the Zhao family hid such a big secret.
The ash in Zhao Heng's hand was half burned. He dusted off the cigarette and asked Zhao Xu, "Then the Zhao family's ancestral guardian ring is related to Duke Shen's treasure?"
"That's right! Each of our five clans has a guardian ring. After gathering them all, we can open Duke Shen's treasure. I heard that Duke Shen's tomb is at the bottom of the sea. It is one of the three most difficult to excavate ancient tombs in the country. Only Only by gathering the rings of the five clans can we open the treasure of Duke Shen. Whether there is a cornucopia or not can only be known by opening Duke Shen's tomb."
At this point, Zhao Xu saw Zhao Heng's confused expression and knew that he really knew nothing about this matter.
Zhao Xu said to Zhao Heng: "Xiao Heng, didn't you notice anything unusual about the Zhao family?"
Zhao Heng shook his head and said, "No! Ever since my uncle became the head of the Zhao family, I always feel that everyone in the family is weird."
"You should go back and pay attention, and report to me if there is any situation. Also, don't let anyone know, you already know the truth of the matter. Otherwise, your life will be in danger. I am definitely not alarmist."
Zhao Heng knew that the situation was serious and that it was almost related to the life and death of the Zhao family. He nodded and said: "Understood! Brother Xu, I choose to believe you. I knew you would not stand by and watch the Zhao family's affairs!"
"Brothers, unite!" Zhao Xu extended a palm to Zhao Heng.
Zhao Heng stretched out his hand to shake Zhao Xu's hand and said, "It's sharp enough to break gold!"
Zhao Heng said with determination in his eyes, "I will never let those factory dogs succeed!"
Zhao Xu was worried that Zhao Heng would be impulsive because he was too young, so he tried to persuade him: "Xiao Heng, don't be impulsive. The battle between our five tribes and the factory dogs has been going on for hundreds of years, and it will never be resolved overnight. Only when we work together internally and externally can we There is a chance for a comeback.”
"Brother Xu, I understand! I'll leave first." Zhao Heng stood up to leave, worried that being outside for too long would attract other people's attention.
Zhao Xu nodded and said, "Remember to protect yourself!"
"Don't worry!" After saying that, he stood up and left the teahouse.
After Zhao Heng left, Zhao Xu sat in the teahouse, smoked two cigarettes in a row, and drank a whole pot of tea before leaving.
On the way back, Zhao Xu called Lan Xin from Jiutang and said, "Aunt Lan, tell the people in Jiutang to be more vigilant. There will be some unrest in Lincheng recently!"

"Don't worry! I've already given the order." Lan Xin replied.
Zhao Xu gave Lan Xin a few more words and called Wen Bao of the three Wen brothers.
"Wen Bao, send someone to secretly protect the Tao family. If there is any trouble, remember to report it to me immediately."
"I understand, Master!" Wen Bao responded respectfully.
When I got home, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening.
Li Qingqing knew that Zhao Xu had gone to see his cousin Zhao Heng. Seeing that Zhao Xu was back, she asked with concern: "What does Xiao Heng want to see you for?"
Zhao Xu said: "People from the West Factory showed up! The Zhao family may be in danger. I told Xiao Heng the truth and prepared to cooperate with him inside and outside."
"Are you sure you can trust Xiao Heng?" Li Qingqing asked.
Zhao Xu smiled and said, "I'm not a god, so how can I know? I just want to take this opportunity to test Xiao Heng. A distance can tell a horse's power, and time can tell a person's heart! Sooner or later, the Zhao family's inner ghost will surface. .”
