Chapter 586 Something happened
Han Jun's revenge was swift and brutal. Just two days after talking with Xu Huaiyi, he put it into action one by one, and it was an indiscriminate attack.
Without exception, anything involving those princes ended in trouble.
The first to be hit is the Xiao family. As the queen's family, the Xiao family is relatively low-key. However, no matter how low-key they are, there are bound to be a few incompetent children and grandchildren who take advantage of their power to bully others, act arrogantly and act like the queen's uncle.
The person who got into trouble was the queen's illegitimate brother Xiao Yi, who was riding his horse in the downtown area in broad daylight, completely disregarding the lives of other people. The common people who were trampled and injured did not dare to say a word and could only blame themselves for their bad luck.
After all, who would dare to sue the Queen’s brothers?
But those who do evil will eventually perish. When Xiao Yi was riding his horse again, the horse was suddenly frightened and threw him off. He vomited blood and fainted immediately.
After he was carried back, the Xiao family invited an imperial physician to treat him. His life was saved, but one of his legs was lame.
This was a huge blow to Xiao Yi, who still had ambitions. A cripple could not serve in the imperial court. Even if he enjoyed himself outside, people would laugh at him for being disabled. How could he bear this?
Compared to Xiao Yi's collapse, what happened to the Zhu family was even more unacceptable.
There are not many promising sons in the Zhu family, but there is no shortage of playboys who sleep with prostitutes. Among them, Zhu Xudong is the most outstanding.
Speaking of which, Zhu Xudong's status in the Zhu family is not low. He is the second grandson of the legitimate branch. Although he cannot inherit most of the family business, he is very popular with the elders because of his sweet mouth.
However, when he was drinking wine in a brothel at night, he was forced to drink a few more glasses, and he became so hot-blooded that he lost his mind. He fought with others for a courtesan, regardless of his status. In the end, he didn't know who stabbed him in the chaos, and when he was carried back to the Zhu family, he was almost covered in blood.
Even the Empress Dowager in the palace was alarmed by such a tragic condition. She sent several imperial doctors to treat Zhu Xudong. After a lot of effort, he barely survived, but from then on, he became a disabled person.
For Zhu Xudong, who was greedy for women, this was simply a life worse than death.
The entire Zhu family lost face and became a laughing stock in the capital.
Compared to the fate of these two people, what happened to the Lu family can be said to be a light one. This is also due to the strict control of Prime Minister Lu on his children and grandchildren. They can be mediocre in talent and career, but they must never cause trouble.
Therefore, it is not easy for Han Jun to pick someone who is not honest.
Therefore, they could only create trouble for the character and ethics that the Lu family valued most.
There is no perfect person in the world. Even a gentleman has flaws. What happened to the Lu family was not a big deal, but not a small one either. They forcibly took someone else's wife.
It is not accurate to say that it was forced occupation. In fact, it was the second master of the Lu family who lost his moral integrity after drinking and accidentally had a relationship with a lady who was in charge of the farm. After he sobered up, he regretted it very much, but it was too late. He could only try his best to make amends.
How to make up for it? Mr. Lu was not cruel enough to kill someone to silence him, so he could only use silver to make up for it. At that time, the housekeeper also agreed with tears, and never bothered him again.
But once something is done, it will leave traces.
Han Jun has indeed collected a lot of evidence and secrets of powerful families over the years, and the Lu family is no exception. When he found out about this romantic affair, how could he not use it?
In his opinion, merely exposing the matter would not be a painful revenge for the Lu family, and would not be as cruel as that against the Xiao and Zhu families.
It was also because of the friendship between the Lu family and the Gu family that he did not kill them.
But for the Lu family, who value their reputation more than their lives, this is worse than being stabbed a few times. It will make them too embarrassed to go out and see people in the future.
This one today, that one tomorrow, the capital city has become restless because of these things.
Ordinary people can just watch for fun, but insiders can see the tricks involved.
Could this be Xu Huaiyi’s revenge?
But wasn't Li Ji the murderer behind his murder? The entire Changle Marquisate was exiled to the border, wasn't that enough to make him vent his anger?
Or, was Marquis Changle just a scapegoat, and the real murderer was someone else?
Speculations were rife, but there was no disturbance at all in the court.
This is very strange. Logically, the Zhu and Xiao families should be complaining for themselves after suffering such a great loss. But in fact, they did not report the case to the police for investigation. It was as if they treated it as an accident and considered themselves to be unlucky.
But privately, many people's eyes on Xu Huaiyi changed.
This is a ruthless person.
How brave does it take to challenge three companies on your own?
Xu Huaiyi had to use Prime Minister Sun's mouth to defend himself, saying that he was not the one who did it and that people should stop throwing dirty water on him. He would not take the blame.
Prime Minister Sun believed him, but it is unknown what others thought.
Gu Huanxi couldn't help but have a conspiracy theory. "Han Jun said he would help you get revenge, but what was the truth? He did take action, but you have to bear the blame. Tell me, did he do it unintentionally, or did he foresee and do it on purpose to isolate you in the court and completely cut off your chance to seek refuge with other princes?"
Xu Huaiyi smiled and said nonchalantly, "Both?"
"Aren't you angry?"
"There's nothing to be angry about. We are also vested interests. How can we put down our jobs and curse? It's normal for him to have some thoughts. There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. If you get benefits, you have to pay a certain price."
Gu Huanxi understood this truth, but he still felt uncomfortable in his heart. "To put it bluntly, he still doesn't believe us..."
Xu Huaiyi said calmly, "That's right. In supporting Xiaoyu, we really can't do our best like him. We have left enough ways out for ourselves. Unlike him, he has almost no bottom line. Even if he wants to force us, we have no way out and can only rush forward."
"That being said, I still feel aggrieved. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have used him..."
"Why not? It would be a waste if we don't use it. It would save us a lot of trouble. You don't think it's easy to accomplish those things? You are totally wrong. None of them is easy. Every accident must be carefully designed, and no loopholes can be left that people can criticize. Even the people who get into trouble are carefully selected, so that they can hit those companies but not really stimulate them to go crazy. The balance between the two is not so easy to control.
If it were me, I might not do that. If there was any evidence left behind, wouldn't Qing be waiting for someone to sue me?
Look at them now, aren't they silent? Because they have no reason and no evidence, even if they are sure it was me, they have to grit their teeth and bear it on the surface. "
Gu Huanxi was worried, "Wouldn't it be even more terrible if he did something behind my back?"
Xu Huaiyi said, "Not in the short term. If we continue to fight, it will not be good for anyone. Although Emperor Yongping wants us to check and balance each other, he does not want us to fight to the death."
However, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps on.
