Feng Zhen wanted to plot Qiu's use of a knife to kill, of course he would not come forward in person, so as not to reveal his flaws.
He just sent someone to instruct Shangfeng to deliberately make things difficult to arouse the resentment of the other party.
Qiu Shi was originally a villain on the wall. Seeing that Yang Tao's chances of winning were getting bigger and bigger, he was being suppressed everywhere, and his mentality was suddenly unbalanced.
"If I knew this earlier, why did you go to the trouble of relying on Liu Xi?" Father Qiu's son is called Qiu Meng. Because he is an old man, he is very loved by others, so he has developed a arrogant character and cannot tolerate any grievances. He was the one who was suppressed and taunted the most, and he could imagine how much resentment he felt in his heart, "If he stayed under Yang Tao's tent, he would be able to borrow Yan Lin's Dongfeng secretly, maybe."
Before the words were finished, Qiu Meng was glared at by the old man Qiu, so scared that he swallowed everything back.
"There is no turning back when the bow is opened. What's the use of saying this now?"
Old Man Qiu's beard and hair are all white, and his face is old, but his skin is rosy, and at a glance, he can tell that this old man lives a very delicate life.
"Father, you should think of a way." Qiu Meng said hurriedly, "Liu Xi can't defeat Yang Tao, and he has been in a stalemate, so he will definitely withdraw his troops. Yang Tao has a chance to breathe, and a few years of recuperation will definitely be a different situation. There are all the poor families and even the common people who have no status, how can they want their son to come forward? If they keep suppressing their son, how can a son endure such grievances?"
Mr. Qiu was also worried about this matter recently, and his son's words made him even more upset.
Jiang Pengji placed too much emphasis on the poor family. In the eyes of the gentry, she squeezed the cake that belonged to the gentry, which was indeed unpleasant.
The nobility have always thought that they are more valuable than the poor family, and it is a great shame for them to go hand in hand with the two, let alone be inferior to others.
The old man Qiu said angrily, "Then what do you say? Could it be possible to return to Yang Tao? This is courting death!"
They had just betrayed Yang Tao and threw them into the arms of the enemy. If the situation was not good, they would go back to the grass. At that time, both sides would be unhappy.
Look at the Zhao clan, the Zhao clan was obviously taken advantage of, and in the end the entire clan was wiped out.
Mr. Qiu really didn't dare to take this risk.
Qiu Meng said, "Why not? If we make a contribution to Yang Tao, we will not only be able to break away from Liu Xi, but also be valued by Yang Tao."
Old Man Qiu asked him, "How to make meritorious deeds?"
Qiu Meng looked around and asked the servants to stay farther away, so he felt relieved and whispered to the old man.
The more he listened, the more shocked Mr. Qiu became. He couldn't help but say, "Are you trying to bring the whole family to be buried with you?"
"Father, if you don't enter a tiger's den, how can you get a tiger's son! If you stay here, you don't know when you'll be able to get ahead!" In the calculation, he said, "How can the icing on the cake be worth the help in the snow? As long as we help Yang Tao to repel Liu Xi, the benefits are not better than staying under Liu Xi's tent for wasted time?"
Father Qiu hesitated.
Compared with his younger son's "mercenary", he considers more things.
They are native Zhangzhou nobility, and naturally belong to Yang Tao's camp, but they turned to Jiang Pengji.
For Yang Tao, this is a betrayal. Throughout the ages, which princes would tolerate a sloppy stance
Mr. Qiu's worry, Qiu Meng also thought about it carefully.
He said, "What's there to worry about? As long as we get enough news to impress Yang Tao and help him defeat Liu Xi, we said that we went to Liu Xi earlier to gain her trust and facilitate our actions. No matter how you doubt it, you will never cross the river and demolish the bridge."
"That's not the case, Yang Tao and others won't trust us easily."
The old man Qiu was still hesitant, and Qiu Meng threw out the killer.
"Father, you forgot that you have a good grandson, don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, isn't Yang Tao the most trusting of him?"
The good grandson in Qiu Meng's mouth is "Yan Lin".
Mentioning this grandson, Mr. Qiu couldn't hang on his face.
He had cheekily mentioned before that he would recognize his grandson, but they refused outright, not even wanting to see him.
The old man Qiu also had a temper. He swallowed his anger and recognized the son of a prostitute in the outer court. Wasn't it for Yan Lin to support his grandfather's family? If it wasn't for this, he wouldn't be willing to humiliate the descendants of a prostitute outside the house, who would have expected Yan Lin to do even better.
Mr. Qiu was almost out of anger.
After that, he assumed that his grandson was dead, and didn't bother to mention Yan Lin again.
"Why do you mention that unscrupulous white-eyed wolf?"
The old man Qiu was very angry.
Qiu Meng tried his best to convince the old man.
Momentary mood is more important or family is more important
It's still worth thinking about, of course it's family!
All of this was within Fengzhen's calculations, and it went unbelievably smoothly.
Yang Si was not surprised at all, because he had seen through the Qiu family. It is not so much that Fengzhen designed them to court death, but that their own ambitions pushed them to a dead end. The Qiu clan was different from the Zhao clan. When the Zhao clan joined Jiang Pengji, they brought their family along with them. The Qiu clan only brought the main members, and the old and young women and children were still in the old house. Therefore, it is more convenient for Qiu Meng to send messages back and forth.
"what is this?"
Qian Su said, "Reporting to the lord, this was deliberately thrown by someone."
Yang Tao read the letter over and over several times and said, "The signature is Qiu Meng, do you know Qiu Meng?"
Qian Su naturally read the letter, he also checked Qiu Meng in advance, and was surprised to find that the other party had already taken refuge with Jiang Pengji.
Yang Tao said with a smile, "It's really interesting, I'm not a firm stance because Liu Xi is still flirting with me."
Qian Su said, "The face of profit-seeking."
Yang Tao said, "Qiu Meng said that they pretended to take refuge with Liu Xi. Do you think this is credible? I don't believe it anyway."
With such a clumsy method, I really thought he was out of his mind.
Qiu Meng also knew that Tai Li Lie confessed that Yang Tao could not be trusted, and then wrote another letter.
Yang Tao looked at the second letter in a daze, and wondered, "Qiu is actually Shaoyang's grandfather's family? Never heard of it."
Qian Su also sneered, "Maybe it was random climbing relatives."
Despite this, Yang Tao still sent someone to ask Yan Lin who was staying in Huankou. Yan Lin changed his face and quickly wrote a reply.
As a junior, Yan Lin could not share the privacy of his elders, even if Yang Tao was the lord.
He briefly talked about the entanglement between the Qiu family and him, many of which were ambiguous, and Yang Tao also wisely did not get to the bottom of it.
Yang Tao asked Yan Lin again, "Is this person credible?"
Yan Lin pondered for a long time, carefully analyzed Qiu Meng's character, and said, "Mostly believable, Qiu Meng is greedy for profit, and has a strong utilitarian heart. Probably seeing that the situation is not good for Liu Xi, Liu Xi has not reused him, and his heart is unbalanced. I want to go back again."
Yang Tao could see that Qiu Meng wanted to step on Jiang Pengji and Yan Lin.
"Although it's true, the precautions that should be taken are still indispensable. It's good to have five achievements in the Lord's faith."
Yan Lin is a cautious person after all, and Qiu Meng is a villain, so it's right to be on guard.
