Chapter 133 Conspiracy in the middle of the night

Author: Soy Sauce Xuanzhu

Li Yewu's invitation to Patriarch Sifang naturally fell into the eyes of the people sent by Patriarch Xu to follow Li Yewu.

The boy watched calmly and followed Li Yewu all the way back to Prince Zhang's Mansion. After making sure that she would not come out again, he secretly went back to report to his master.

At that time, the head of the Xu family was studying the chess game at the Hulutan Altar with the light on. When he heard a knock on the door outside, he carefully locked the chess game and then opened the door.

"Sir, just now I saw that Princess Zang gave a greeting card to the Sifang Patriarch."

The boy reported everything he saw and heard.

Patriarch Xu couldn't help but snorted coldly: "Principal Sifang really doesn't agree with us. Go and invite Patriarch Mu and Patriarch Liu over."

"yes."

The boy took the order and went out.

Half a moment later, the head of the Mu family came to the Xu family in a low-key manner, but after waiting for a long time, the two of them still didn't see the head of the Liu family coming.

After a long time, the young man came belatedly and reported back: "Reply to the master, the head of the Liu family has gone out to do some shopping and hasn't come back yet."

"Hmph, what are you doing with the goods? You are clearly trying to avoid them and draw a clear line with us." The head of the Xu family snorted coldly.

"Forget it, for a coward like Lao Liu, it's already good enough to escape without packing up. But Brother Sifang hasn't seen him coming yet."

"You still want him to come over?" The head of the Xu family gave him a cold look.

The head of the Mu family nodded without knowing why: "We have always followed the lead of our eldest brother. When it comes to holding night meetings...didn't we inform eldest brother?"

The head of the Xu family sneered: "I'm afraid that if you treat me as their eldest brother, they may not treat you as one of their own."

"Brother Xu, what do you mean?" Patriarch Mu immediately stopped smiling.

"Just now, my people saw that the Sifang Patriarch had contact with Prince Chang's Mansion, and Princess Chang even secretly gave a greeting letter to the Sifang Patriarch."

"What?" Master Mu's expression suddenly changed.

No wonder he was so nervous.

Mainly because some time ago, they had just plotted to go to a secret place to buy the murder of the princess. However, the outcome did not go according to their planned plan. Not only was the princess fine, she also killed the Meihua Village who assassinated her.

What's even more frightening is that two-thirds of the bandits in the no-man's land have been recruited. Among these bandits, there are some who have dealings with them and some who have not.

Whether it was true or not, I was afraid that these people would know that they paid for the murder and then secretly inform Li Yewu.

In the past half month, Patriarch Mu had trouble sleeping and eating, worried that bandits would inform him, and worried that the other three Patriarchs would be betrayed.

Finally, the four heads of the family made an agreement to keep distance from the palace.

Who would have thought that half a month later, the Sifang family head would be the first to breach the contract.

"Could it be that...we are overthinking it? Brother Sifang just has to go."

"If the Sifang Patriarch doesn't want to go, he will naturally have a hundred reasons to refuse. It depends on his choice."

"What if he goes?"

"If he goes, it means he has chosen to side with the king, and he will no longer be our friend from now on."

Patriarch Mu frowned, his face full of displeasure.

"It's all my fault that this Princess Shang has caused so many troubles just a short time ago! What's even more disgusting is that the bandits are so scared that no one dares to touch her. What should we do?"

"At this time, it is best to remain unchanged in response to all changes. Besides, hasn't the master of Meihua Village been found yet? We can contact him secretly and provide him with help. After all, the enemy of our enemy is our friend, right?"

The head of the Xu family smiled evilly.

At this time, Patriarch Mu was quite impressed with Patriarch Xu. Speaking of it, Patriarch Xu was running a grocery business. To the other three families, groceries were the most inconspicuous. He was usually the most low-key. He never thought that Patriarch Xu had such a high profile.

Hey, I really underestimate him usually.

But let's talk about it, why is the head of the Xu family so hostile to Princess Chang? Is there some other reason for this?

As if he understood Patriarch Mu's thoughts, Patriarch Xu smiled: "Not to mention me, why did Patriarch Mu have to kill the princess?"

When asked about the question in his mind, the head of the Mu family smiled bitterly: "You said there are no festivals but businessmen value profits. She left my manor uncultivated and it will undoubtedly cut off my money. Cutting off my money is like killing my parents. Isn't this a sufficient reason?

"

Patriarch Xu smiled and nodded: "No one knows me better than Patriarch Mu. I think the same thing."

The head of the Mu family suddenly became enlightened and also laughed.

When he was about to leave, the head of the Mu family turned around again: "Speaking of which, it's not a solution for Lao Liu to not return to Taihe City on the pretext of handling goods. I think he is more of an uncertain factor than Sifang."

"With this kind of uncertainty, let him never return to Taihe City."

"Does Master Xu have any skills? If not, I can help you."

Although the bandits couldn't kill Li Yewu, they shouldn't have trouble killing a merchant from Taihe City, right?

Don't blame them for being ruthless.

After all, the Quartet may go to Prince Zhang's Mansion tomorrow. If he goes, not to mention what they will discuss, at least the head of the Liu family will definitely feel guilty if he sees it.

What if he goes to find the princess to surrender in order to survive and reveals that they are the real murderers of the princess's assassination?

Patriarch Xu nodded: "Then I'll bother Patriarch Mu to worry about it."

The two quickly reached a consensus, and then the head of the Mu family left the Xu family while no one was around.

After Patriarch Mu had gone far away, two old men walked out of the corner of Patriarch Xu's living room. They were the elders who were working with Patriarch Xu to dismantle the mechanism of the altar.

The two old men's eyes were turbid yet profound. They stared at the back of Master Mu and murmured.

"Can Master Mu be trusted?"

"It doesn't matter whether he is trustworthy or not. He is just a chess piece anyway. If the situation is not right, just throw it away." The head of the Xu family replied coldly.

"Speaking of which, we need to speed up our actions. Now the king of wine, Li Yewu, has not only regained the people's support, but even more than half of the bandits have been recruited by them. Seeing that Taihe City is getting calmer and calmer, we must make it chaotic as soon as possible.

.”

"Don't worry, elder, I already have a new plan, and the tranquility here will soon disappear." The head of the Xu family looked up at the moon filled with mist, and laughed.

…

While the head of the Xu family was having a secret meeting, Li Yewu had already washed up and was ready to rest.

However, she was surprised to find that she had insomnia!

She had very good sleep quality in both lives, especially after becoming pregnant, she not only ate well and drank well, but also slept very well.

But today, I was rolling around in bed but not feeling sleepy at all. Not only was I not feeling sleepy, I felt extremely empty inside.

This feeling is like not eating watermelon in summer, not putting barbecue sauce in barbecue, or hot pot without garlic and chili, it is very uncomfortable.

However, she couldn't tell what was missing!

After rolling around for a long time but still unable to sleep, Li Yewu got up frustrated.

"Could it be that... you slept in the carriage in the evening and you are full and you are not sleepy now?"

Li Yewu couldn't help mumbling to herself.
