Fengzhuang is one of the largest manors in the suburbs of Chang'an.
It covers an area of nearly 100 hectares, with pavilions, pavilions, carved railings and jade inlays. Various exotic treasures often come in and out, giving people a mysterious and quiet feeling.
However, although Fengzhuang occupies a large area and is attended by servants all year round, its owner rarely lives here for a long time.
Only occasionally, nearby villagers would see the owner coming in and out with a large number of servants, but they would disperse within three or two days at most.
Therefore, the residents suspected that the owner of this huge manor was most likely the temporary residence of some dignitaries and even royal family members in Chang'an.
Only those who really know the inside story know that this manor is actually just a piece of property won by a certain "nouveau riche" and the "silly prince" after a huge gamble.
If it weren't for that "silly prince", he was a foolish person known both inside and outside the court.
Even if a certain "nouveau riche" really wins the bet, it will definitely not be an easy task to really get this manor.
After all, the Tang Dynasty continues to this day, and there are countless royal nobles, among whom the most coquettish and domineering ones account for the vast majority.
It's okay to gamble heavily with these royal nobles, but if you want to really win something from them, it depends on whether you have the life to take it.
It is no exaggeration to say that the "silly prince" is one of the few royal family members who keeps their promises.
Of course, in the eyes of officials inside and outside the government, this is proof of ignorance and stupidity.
Otherwise, as the uncle of several consecutive emperors, if he wanted to break the contract, a certain upstart would not only not dare to break out, but would even have to offer him a lavish gift.
It's a pity that the "silly prince" who was in the court and at home could not escape the fate of the royal family. He disappeared inexplicably not long after Wu Zong succeeded to the throne.
Everyone inside and outside the court knew that the current Emperor Wu Zong deliberately let the "silly prince" disappear in order to eliminate those who threatened his throne.
After all, when Wu Zong first succeeded to the throne, he would cause accidents to his silly uncle from time to time.
Once or twice is okay, but if it happens more times, everyone will naturally notice it.
Rather than eradicating those who threatened his throne, the only thing that ministers inside and outside the court were wondering about was why this emperor, who was so outstanding in both civil and military skills, would target his stupid uncle like this.
Fortunately, royal affairs were obscure and complicated, and the ministers who could not get a full picture stopped talking so much shortly after the silly prince disappeared.
On the contrary, this large manor, which has been vacant all year round, has become the target of many wealthy nobles, waiting to be snatched away from the upstart at any time.
However, there were many people who had the idea of this manor, but in the end, only a few escaped unscathed.
As time went by, those guys with ulterior motives came to know that the famous upstart in Chang'an seemed not as simple as they thought.
As a top merchant who ventured alone into the Western Regions and opened up a trade route.
The upstart may be vulgar or lowly, but it is undeniable that he is indeed one of the most influential figures in Chang'an.
So after learning that the upstart had returned from Tanzhou, whether intentionally or unintentionally, some strangers of unknown origin appeared near Fengzhuang.

"What the hell is that upstart doing?"
Quietly spying on Fengzhuang not far away, I saw a young man dressed as a peddler complaining in a low voice.
Since the upstart returned to Chang'an, except for purchasing some daily necessities at the beginning, they have not been seen leaving Fengzhuang at other times.
If it hadn't been for repeated confirmations, the young people would have suspected that the other party had secretly left Fengzhuang long ago.
"What do you care about him? Just do our job well." Gu Ce
He stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat on his head, and saw that the older man first glared at the young man, and then looked up at the scorching sun above his head.
"Looking at the weather, it's almost time for rotation."
"Next, please keep an eye on me carefully. I don't want to stay here with you in the afternoon and bask in the sun."
Hearing this, the young vendor had no choice but to shut his mouth angrily.
But a young man was a young man after all. He didn't hold back for long before he spoke again, and this time he started gossiping about the identity of the upstart family.
"Uncle, who do you think this upstart is?"
"Why does the uncle pay so much attention to their family's situation and even ask us to come here to keep a close eye on them?"
He glared at the young man again helplessly. The older man knew that if he didn't satisfy the boy's curiosity first, he probably wouldn't stop today.
"I really don't know where this family comes from."
"But I know why the uncle is targeting him, because he has something to do with our missing 'Silly Prince'."
When he mentioned the words "Silly Prince", the older man did not hide his ridicule and contempt, as if he was talking about the idiot next door.
"Silly Prince?"
Hearing what the older man said, the young man was stunned.
"You mean, that rumor is true? Our 'silly prince' is not dead? Is he hiding in Fengzhuang now?"
The incredible year asked three questions, and the surprise on the young man's face was beyond words.
"What are you thinking about? Even if the 'Silly Prince' is not dead, he can't hide in Fengzhuang."
When he said this, the older man paused for a moment before continuing to explain in a low voice.
"Do you think no one thinks the same way as you do?"
"This Fengzhuang has been searched inside and outside. It is absolutely impossible to hide anyone."
"Let alone hiding people, not even a fly can be hidden here."
On this point, the older man was not exaggerating at all.
In fact, in addition to his own group, there are also various forces that have been stationed in this small Fengzhuang for more than ten years. They even know how many trees there are in the village.
"Doesn't this actually prove the rumor?"
Different from the older man's thinking, the young man is more concerned about the rumor about the "Silly Prince".
"Tell me, did our 'silly prince' really become a monk?"
"Also, how did he escape? And once he escaped, he disappeared for nearly twenty years."
Instead of answering the young man's question, the older man quickly slapped the other man on the head and scolded him.
"Silly boy, is this something you can pay attention to?"
"You just stay here and don't talk, and wait for someone to replace us!"
