Chapter 166 The Fight for the Throne, the Situation Is Turbulent! [Subscribe]
The courtyard is as messy as ever!
A pot of boiling water was simmering in the stove.
There was a bowl of unfinished plain noodles on the stone table. Deng Haisheng smiled awkwardly, poured Wei Hong a cup of hot tea, and took out a roasted sweet potato from the stove for him.
"You haven't had breakfast yet? Try it!"
"good!"
Wei Hong glanced at him and probably saw his embarrassment.
Deng Haisheng made a lot of money by beheading people. It can be said that one person has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry. Logically speaking, he should not live such a miserable life.
But he doesn't like gambling but likes whoring, and most of the money he earns every month goes into the Goulan Washery. He is definitely a talent who has suffered a lot but not his younger brother.
"That's all I have, so take it first!" Wei Hong took out a few banknotes and threw them to him while eating roasted sweet potatoes: "Besides, it may not be easy to buy food these days, so I'll send you some later. "
"I can't help it, what are you doing?" Deng Haisheng said dissatisfied: "No matter how poor I am, I still haven't reached the point where I need help."
"Take some loose money, take it!" Wei Hong said nonchalantly: "I can make a lot of money from killing pigs in a month now, a few hundred taels is no problem."
"So many?" Deng Haisheng exclaimed.
"hehe!"
Wei Hong shook his head without laughing and said nothing more.
How could a few hundred taels be noticed by him?
Now the oil and water that the water and land terminals receive from Fan Tai and Xie Laosan every month alone is estimated to be two to three thousand taels. He also has profits from selling the powerful King Kong Dan. If he tells it, he will scare people to death. .
"Don't talk about this!" Wei Hong said straight to the point: "What happened last night? Could it be that the old emperor really died?"
"Eh? Your boy is very well-informed." Deng Haisheng was surprised and said in a lower voice: "I heard that the old emperor is not dead yet. He is breathing a sigh of relief now. Before he fell into coma, he specially ordered the sixth prince to enter the palace. At the same time, The patrol battalion was mobilized to enforce the street ban, which caused such a big commotion. "
"Sixth Prince?"
Wei Hong frowned!
I heard that the old emperor had many heirs, but the only ones who became successful were the crown prince and the sixth prince. The two of them had been fighting openly and secretly for many years. Could it be that the outcome was about to come to an end?
The prince suffered a hidden loss when General Meng was assassinated last time, and Lin Weisheng was involved in it and lost his life. Now think about the struggle for imperial power, how many people will die if it is slightly affected!
"The prince's influence in the court has been deeply rooted in the past few years, and he is also quite involved with the aristocratic family!" Deng Haisheng said with a sneer: "Although the old emperor tried his best to support the sixth prince, he just wants to burp, and it is still unclear who will sit on the throne. Let's wait and see. Well, this turmoil is still going to happen!"
"Trouble!"
Wei Hong frowned!
It stands to reason that the power struggle has nothing to do with ordinary people.
At this time, the most worried people are often the rich and powerful families. Each of them is racing against time to stand in line, fearing that if they stand in the wrong line, they will be killed. Ordinary people seem to be a little far away from this kind of thing.
But in fact this is not the case. Once the Crown Prince and the Sixth Prince go to war!
Not only would the entire capital be destroyed, someone would definitely take advantage of the chaos and loot it.
The principle that chivalrous people use force to break the law has never changed. Most people who practice martial arts have violent elements in their bodies. They are usually governed by the laws of the court and dare not act wildly. Once chaos breaks out, they will burn, kill, loot and do anything.
The wealthy family is guarded by guards and no one dares to touch it!
In the end, isn't it just the small households that suffer?
"In addition!" Deng Haisheng reminded: "Your Zhuji Butcher Shop is somewhat involved with the Hutou Gang. During the mutiny, the gang was also the force that attracted all the major forces. Once a fight breaks out, there is no guarantee that you will not be used as cannon fodder. You'd better close your shop and rest." Just a few days, don’t waste your life making money.”
"good!"
Wei Hong nodded and agreed.
In fact, Deng Haisheng would have done so without reminding him.
After all, the Hutou Gang is a subordinate gang of Prince Duan's Mansion. Once Prince Duan's Mansion takes sides, they must order the Hutou Gang to assemble and take action. Will he go or not?
In short, it’s always better to close the door and hide away!
"Do you want to find another place to live?" Wei Hong asked, "I have several other small courtyards that are vacant."
"What am I afraid of?" Deng Haisheng said with a sneer: "Who doesn't know that I, a beheaded man, am very poor? If someone really wants to seek revenge, I will not be a vegetarian. You should take care of your family!"
Wei Hong thought for a while but didn't say anything more.
He is already thinking about where it would be better to place his family first.
In addition, he was still considering a question: Should he immediately go to Prince Duan's Mansion to exchange for Bone Refining Realm martial arts?
Now that he has just made a breakthrough, if he has martial arts at his side, he will be able to show his true strength if he encounters anything, and he will be able to protect his family no matter what.
But if Prince Duan's Mansion was involved in this matter, wouldn't he have thrown himself into a trap in the past?
Even if he is not implicated, what dangerous mission would he be sent on if he is raped?
"This matter needs to be considered in the long run!"
Wei Hong thought about it and was about to get up and leave.
Deng Haisheng reminded at this time: "This turmoil will most likely break out, and a lot of people will definitely die by then. In the future, the confiscation of homes and genocide will continue. We still have to be busy, so be prepared!"
"Not necessarily!" Wei Hong shook his head and chuckled: "If there is a mutiny, it must be very involved. How can the executioner alone kill him? Most likely, the soldiers will do it directly, and we won't even be able to drink the soup!"
"Too!"
Deng Haisheng's eyes widened in depression, and he didn't know how to refute for a while.
No one was beheaded, which meant there was no money to be made, and his mood was not much better.
Wei Hong was also secretly depressed. A super-turmoil should be a good opportunity to make a living, but he couldn't get any benefit. How could he be willing?
"How about getting a fake identity in the army?"
"Once large-scale beheadings begin, I will also go to fish in troubled waters?"
An absurd idea popped up in Wei Hong's mind.
He smiled dumbly and didn't think about it anymore. He got up and said goodbye.
After a delay, the number of people on the street gradually increased. The soldiers on the street seemed to have received orders to evacuate. Many people also took to the streets and began to nervously inquire about the news.
On both sides of the street, brave merchants opened their doors to do business one after another!
Various rumors spread among the crowd. In the panic, many smart people have begun to gather at rice shops and butcher shops, wanting to seize the time to buy food.
The streets and alleys became chaotic!
Wei Hong looked at the crowd of people with panicked faces, and a sense of absurdity that looked down on all living beings inexplicably rose in his heart. When will he be able to escape from the chaotic world by his own strength? He will not be as fearful as the world all day long?
"It's time and fate!"
Wei Hong shook his head silently, turned around and stepped into Zhu's Meat Shop.
In the shop, all the butchers rushed to inquire about the news nervously. Zhu Sihai was also in a state of confusion at the moment, not knowing what to do.
"Start slaughtering pigs now, slaughter all the pigs and sheep in the shop immediately, and don't leave a single pig hair, quickly!" Wei Hong gave a tough order.
