Feng Zhen laughed and said, "Since it's a hidden danger, we naturally have to eliminate it as soon as possible. Are you sure it's foolproof that you're pushing these malignant tumors to An Cui? "
If An Cui put these high-ranking members of the Red Lotus Group in an important position, and An Cui came over to challenge them instead, what would happen then?
Wei Ci shook his head. He said very confidently, "Those people from the Red Lotus Group have already tasted what it's like to be in a high position. How can they easily submit to others? Not to mention that An Cui was originally just an insignificant member of the Red Lotus sect. The upper echelons of the Red Lotus Group would temporarily endure for the sake of their lives, but they would not be able to do so for long. As for An Cui, he's very smart. Once something threatens his existence … Heh! "
No matter what, An Cui was from an aristocratic family. No matter how low his emotional intelligence was, his intelligence was still there.
If the people from the Red Lotus Group had the ability to outplay An Cui, An Cui would not have been able to rise to the position of a minor leader in just a few short months.
So, just wait and see. This was destined to be a situation where both sides would make use of each other. It was just a matter of who was superior.
Once An Cui felt that he no longer needed these people, it would be their time to die.
Feng Zhen went around in circles for a long time before he vaguely understood Wei Ci's plan.
"Are you planning to use An Cui to kill those people from the Red Lotus Group?"
Wasn't it just killing a person? Was there a need to go around in such a big circle?
The answer was that it was necessary, very necessary.
"My lord should not be tainted with the bad reputation of killing prisoners of war, but the stubborn cancer of the Red Lotus Group cannot be left alive. An Cui was an accident. Without him, Ci could only be the bad guy for once. Since we have him, why not make use of him? "
Feng Zhen was speechless. What had the Red Lotus Group done to provoke Wei Ci that he was so concerned about them?
In fact, Wei Ci would take note of every person who made him unhappy.
It didn't matter whether he could get back at them or not. What was important was that he had to remember this matter.
However, the Red Lotus Group did not provoke Wei Ci. Instead, they provoked Jiang Pengji. Wei Ci still remembered that in his previous life, when the world had just been stabilized, His Majesty had sacrificed the Jiuzhou Divine Cauldron, ascended the throne with the Sacred Mountain, and established the country as Jiang. The Jiuzhou and the Four Seas were in urgent need of reorganization, but the aftermath of more than ten years of war was not something that could be resolved in one or two days. In addition, the weather was not good. Occasionally, there would be a food shortage. The people were anxious and uneasy, and there were rumors that the empress was a demon.
At this moment, the Red Lotus Group, which was left with only a wisp of flame, seized the opportunity to stage a comeback.
Although it did not shake the foundation of the country, it added a few feet of official documents to Jiang Pengji's desk.
The common people were unwilling to believe her. Instead, they chose to believe the remnants of the Red Lotus Group, who were spreading lies to deceive the masses, and led troops in rebellion. One could imagine how she felt.
Hence, Wei Ci was in a bad mood.
If he was in a bad mood, how could the Red Lotus Group have a good life?
Feng Zhen clicked his tongue and teased, "You're really shameless. You deceive the world with your looks. You're clearly a hypocrite."
Although she did not know how the Red Lotus Group had offended Wei Ci, Wei Ci did not hide his malice towards the Red Lotus Group at all.
Wei Ci said, "Looks are given to us by our parents. It's an innate advantage. What's wrong with using it occasionally?"
He had never claimed that he was a gentleman.
If he really wanted to blame someone, then he could only blame his parents for giving him a face that was too "beautiful" and "elegant and harmless".
Oh, some people couldn't even be jealous.
On the other hand, Jiang Pengji and An Cui had already reached a preliminary consensus on their "cooperation." Before the beginning of spring, Jiang Pengji would send people to take pity on An Cui at regular intervals. Thinking of An Cui's previous predicament of almost freezing to death by the roadside, Jiang Pengji ordered people to prepare food and inconspicuous belongings for him.
The food shortage in the north and other places was getting worse by the day. The spring plowing and autumn harvest for the past two years had also been put on hold because of the war. The common people had also left their homes, and the fields were barren and uncultivated. Naturally, the production of food would be greatly reduced. An Cui had become a small leader in the Red Lotus Group. Logically speaking, he should not be that poor, but he still needed to use his "income" to recruit confidants. He could only live frugally and save as much as he could.
"Brother An, please don't decline. This is all out of my good intentions. You must accept it."
Jiang Pengji could not wait for An Cui to settle down quickly so that he could contribute to the war after the beginning of spring. Some food and a few hundred taels of silver were nothing at all. They were insignificant to her, but for the destitute An Cui, it was a timely help.
An Cui declined for a while, but in the end, he accepted it with a "shameful" expression. He kept saying that he would repay her double in the future.
Jiang Pengji said, "You and I share the same interests, like old friends. If we talk about such tacky things, wouldn't it ruin our friendship?"
An Cui smiled on the surface, but he was laughing in his heart.
He was a young master of a wealthy family who did not know the sufferings of the world, the foolish son of a landlord.
It seemed that Liu She had contributed a large part to Liu Xi's conquest of Fengyi County and the development of the county so well.
After all, according to the "persona" that Jiang Pengji had revealed so far, she indeed did not have such great capabilities.
Unknowingly, An Cui's heart had become less vigilant, and he had become more contemptuous and casual.
He had thought that Liu Xi had cultivated to a high level at such a young age. Now that he had seen it, it seemed that there was an expert guiding her from behind the scenes. That was why she had the glory she had today.
The audience in the streaming room did not understand.
Jintian Yigeng: "Streamer, this is not like you at all. You don't get any benefits, yet you spend money first."
Mingtian Buzao: "To the person above, that's not right. For example, when you go fishing, don't you put bait on the hook before fishing? The streamer obviously wants to make use of An Cui to stir up trouble. Compared to her current overdraft, the future profits are too tempting. "
Too Sleepy: "But … but what if An Cui escapes with the rations and money?"
Duanwu Ankang: "First of all, An Cui is a member of the aristocracy of Nansheng. The streamer has already confirmed this. Since he is a member of the aristocracy, do you think An Cui has never seen such a small amount of money? What he desires is the 10% of the people and money that the streamer has promised him. With money and people, he can slowly develop his power and take revenge for his country. That is the real "big fish." How can a person with ambition and brains give up such a big harvest for a little bit of bait? The streamer will definitely profit in this game. "
Everybody Sleeps Early: "No, to be precise, it should be a win-win situation. An Cui does not lose out either. He has neither the people nor the rations now. He only needs to coordinate with the streamer. Without sending a single soldier, he can get 10% of the profits. Even loan sharks do not have such huge profits.
This situation seems to be a win-win situation, but no one knows what the real future holds. "
After bidding farewell to An Cui, Jiang Pengji's convoy continued on its way.
The heavy snow had stopped, but the snow was deep, making it difficult for horses and carriages to travel.
The journey that was originally expected to take seven to eight days had taken more than half a month.
Feng Jin had long received news that Jiang Pengji would come personally, but he waited and waited, but she did not come. This made him extremely anxious.
"Report — there is an envoy from Fengyi County outside the city!"
