Chapter 1108 This Is Not Civil Strife, but Invasion!
Liu Wei left the house and just breathed a sigh of relief when she bumped into Fu Zichen coming towards him.
Fu Zichen was injured and one of his legs was badly injured, but he still managed to change his clothes and dressed as if he was about to go out.
"Where are you going? Are you afraid of being hurt to death if you move around?" Liu Wei asked.
Fu Zichen glanced downstairs, and Liu Wei followed his line of sight and saw a Fu family servant dressed as a servant.
Fu Hongda was arrested, and there was going to be chaos in the mansion again.
…
When they woke up one night, the people of Qingzhou had new gossip.
The storyteller in the teahouse was the most well-informed. He drew the curtains on the stage early and tied up the story he was going to tell today, and then started telling the story sonorously. He was talking about the death of the second master of the Fu family. And the matter of resurrection.
There were many people on the street, and the carriage Fu Zichen was riding in moved slowly. When he passed by the tea house, he happened to hear shouting inside, and the storyteller's mysterious tone first told the story of the night of the fire in Fu's house, and then carefully Xi Sha said it again and again.
The carriage drove quickly and arrived at Fu Mansion smoothly.
There was someone waiting at the door of the house, and Fu Zichen recognized him as someone from the old man's house.
After walking into the second courtyard, I saw a sweaty figure walking quickly from a distance. The man was walking in a hurry, not looking at the road, and almost bumped into Fu Zichen.
Fu Zichen called out: "Why is Fifth Uncle so anxious?"
Fu Hongtian stopped when he called him, looked at him with wide eyes, and immediately staggered back a few steps: "You, you, you..."
Fu Hongwang came back to life, and Fu Zichen also...
Fu Hongtian felt like a bolt from the blue, as if he had fallen asleep. The old man woke up overnight. When he summoned him, he spoke harshly and loudly questioned him about his relationship with Fu Hongda.
Fu Hongtian was frightened, so he only dared to say nice things. He wanted to brush off the conversation first and meet his fourth brother later to discuss the matter further.
He thought that the fourth brother should not know that the old man had suddenly woken up. After all, they had arranged it so well that the old man should not be able to open his eyes.
But before he could leave, someone suddenly came in from outside the house and came to greet the old man. When Fu Hongtian saw it, he was so frightened that he disappeared. Fu Hongwang turned out to be Fu Hongwang.
After meeting Fu Hongwang, the old man let Fu Hongtian go, but ordered Fu Hongtian not to leave the mansion even half a step.
Fu Hongtian didn't dare to stay longer and left anxiously. He was about to go to the main courtyard to find Fu Hongda. He thought he had seen a ghost.
But now, he met Fu Zichen again.
It was really Fu Zichen, the one who died in the fire.
How could it be possible that people who were obviously dead and had been settled in the yamen suddenly came to life in broad daylight?
Fu Hongda was cunning and scheming. It was true that he was taking advantage of Fu Hongtian, but it was absolutely impossible for him to tell his fifth brother, who had failed to achieve anything but failed. They were all bastards, but in terms of scheming and tactics, Fu Hongtian was Fu Hongda couldn't help but lift a finger, and Fu Hongda had never taken this younger brother seriously.
When Fu Zichen arrived at the old man's yard, the first thing he saw was the dense crowd of servants outside the door.
After what happened this time, the old man was scared, so he placed many people around to ensure that it was airtight before he could feel at ease.
Fu Hongwang was also in the house. Fu Zichen nodded when he saw his father, and said to the old man, "I have met my grandfather."
The old man was in a good mood and let him pass.
Fu Zichen came closer, and the old man held his hand again and said gently: "This time, it's all thanks to you. If it weren't for you, the entire Fu family would have been..." Thinking of the disobedient and unfilial sycophant, The old man slapped the case angrily and shouted: "Fu Hongda, what a Fu Hongda, he hid it from everyone, even I almost died in his hands!"
Fu Hongwang was afraid that his father would be too excited, so he handed him a cup of tea and reassured: "This incident has pros and cons. The fourth brother is unfilial and disloyal, and the eldest brother has pushed the whole family to a dead end..." As he spoke, he looked at Fu Zichen again: "Can you see your uncle?"
When he came back last night, Liu Wei told Fu Hongmei that he was dead, but the news probably hadn't been sent back to Fu Mansion yet.
Fu Zichen looked at his angry grandfather, then at his father who was still calm, and calmly told the news.
Before he finished speaking, his grandfather had already dropped the tea cup.
"Die, die..."
Mr. Fu was shocked and thought a lot in his mind at that moment. From knowing that his eldest son was colluding with the party and intending to rebel, to being trapped by Fu Hongda, his eldest son never came to see him.
The first child has a special meaning for most fathers. Moreover, Fu Hongmei is not mediocre. He has excelled in poetry and calligraphy since he was a child. After winning the first prize, he has risen rapidly. In politics, he has completely inherited his father's mantle. He was once a The old man is most satisfied with the child who thinks he is most similar to himself.
When he knew that his eldest son had the intention of treason, the old man made some subtle remarks, saying that he did not want to live in old age, and he saw that the Fu Mansion was in doom.
But the eldest son didn't care, and the deeds he did behind the scenes became more and more prosperous. In the end, he really became obsessed and wanted to pay for the entire Fu Mansion.
They are not the only family in the Fu Mansion. There are many branches and extensive connections. Counting close relatives from far away, there are thousands of people.
If the entire Fu family were to be destroyed just because of one of Fu Hongmei's decisions, the old man would die without the face to see the Fu family's ancestors.
Therefore, he used a roundabout method to contact the Liaozhou forces colluded with Fu Hongmei.
The old man thought it was King Quan at first, but later he found out that he was not. If he helped King Quan plot chaos, he would still have a reputation, but who was the other party? A foreigner! Not even from the Central Plains! What is the purpose of the other party to destroy the entire Qingyun Dynasty?
This is too terrible. This is not civil strife, but invasion, the engulfment of the Central Plains forces by external forces!
Not to be tolerated, absolutely not to be tolerated, this was the old man's only thought at the time, but if the matter was reported to the court and the matter was done in a matter-of-fact manner, even if he could get the reputation of serving the country and the people, the eldest son would be completely involved.
In the face of the bloodline, this old man became selfish and used his self-righteous methods to solve this chaos and save the entire Fu family from its precarious fate of treason and rebellion.
But in the end, the old man failed.
No matter how capable, courageous and resourceful he was when he was young, now that he is old, there is ultimately too little he can do, and the power he holds is too weak.
They can only drag each other around while strategizing.
But who would have thought that when the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole follows, Fu Hongmei is the cicada, Mr. Fu is the mantis, and Fu Hongda is the real oriole.
Seeing that everything was about to be destroyed and the Fu family was about to completely die, the old man knew his despair. Fortunately, at this time, someone gave him a hand and gave him hope.
Looking at his grandson in front of him, the old man let out a long breath and suddenly became very haggard: "If he dies, let's just die. If he dies alone, my family... is very lucky!"
