After asking him so many questions, Liao Yingzhong's doubts were mostly gone. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings, young master! Now is a special time. I was worried that someone with ulterior motives would pretend to be young master, so I tested you on purpose. If I offended you, please forgive me. "
Song Qingshu hurriedly helped him up. "Mr. Liao is very thoughtful. I can't even begin to admire you. How can I blame you?"
Liao Yingzhong looked at him in surprise. "I haven't seen you for a long time. You seem to have grown a lot."
Song QingShu knew that his behavior and habits would inevitably be different from the previous Jia Baoyu, but he had already thought of an excuse. "I was captured by the people of Ruyang Mansion during this period of time, and I went from being a superior person to a prisoner. The huge contrast made me start thinking, and I gradually realized that I was too reckless in the past."
Liao Yingzhong couldn't help but sigh. "If the prime minister was still here, he would be very happy to see you so mature."
Song QingShu also revealed a mournful expression. "It's a pity that he won't be able to return."
Liao Yingzhong asked, "Young master, do you know what happened in WuTang Mountain?"
Of course, Song QingShu knew. However, he still answered according to what he had heard in the manor. "Previously, the Old Mistress told me that the old man had unfortunately sacrificed his life to save the Emperor's family. The Emperor was kind and generous. He was conferred the title of Prince and was rewarded generously to the Jia Clan."
Liao Yingzhong's expression changed. Finally, he said, "This is just a story to fool the people. Prime Minister Jia is an outstanding man. Even if he wanted to protect the emperor, he wouldn't risk his life."
Song Qingshu pretended not to know and asked, "Are you saying that there is a secret behind his death?"
Liao Yingzhong didn't answer immediately. Instead, he got up and looked around at the door. After confirming that there was no one around, he closed the door again and whispered, "Young master, what I'm going to say next is a disaster that will lead to the extermination of your family. You must not leak any of it."
Song QingShu pretended to be afraid. "You can't even tell the old lady?"
"No!" Liao Yingzhong looked at him closely. "You can choose now. Listen or not."
Song Qingshu hesitated for a moment and then said, "Okay, I want to know the truth."
Liao Yingzhong nodded his head in relief. "Prime Minister Jia will be very happy to know this in the afterlife." After a pause, he continued, "Prime Minister Jia has been planning something big. This matter is too dangerous, so only a few people know about it. In order to prevent the old lady from worrying, I didn't tell her …"
Then, he briefly explained Jia Shidao's plan.
Song Qingshu was obviously 'shocked'. "What? He's going to rebel?"
Liao Yingzhong frowned. Apparently, he found the word "rebellion" a little harsh. He coughed and explained, "Nobles, marquises, and generals all have guts. Our dynasty's Taizu also seized the throne by bullying orphans and widows. Why can't we seize them?"
Song Qingshu nodded and comforted, "Baoyu is being pedantic."
Liao Yingzhong continued, "Prime Minister Jia had planned everything, and he was also a hidden Great Guru. In our eyes, he was a sure winner. Even if he failed, with his current power and martial arts, he could retreat unscathed. But he failed and died on WuTang Mountain."
Song Qingshu knew the answer, but he still asked, "What happened on WuTang Mountain?"
Liao Yingzhong shook his head. "No one knows. Almost everyone who went up the mountain died. But to be sure, it must have something to do with Song Qingshu."
Hearing his name, Song Qingshu smiled bitterly. In the end, he had become the scapegoat. However, although Jia Shidao wasn't
Although Jia Shidao didn't die by his hand, it didn't make much of a difference.
"Prime Minister Jia was a little afraid of Song Qingshu, so he deliberately encouraged the Red Coat Army to attack Yangzhou. He also sent Liu Gu, the Huaidong Control Commissioner, to monitor him with 30,000 elite soldiers. He thought he could stall him for a few months, but he solved the problem in Yangzhou so quickly and successfully went to WuTang Mountain, which is thousands of miles away." Liao Yingzhong's tone was full of amazement. "Although we are enemies, I can't help but admire him. If I hadn't met Prime Minister Jia first, maybe I would have joined him …"
Hearing Liao Yingzhong praise him like that, Song Qingshu couldn't help but feel a little proud. Of course, he didn't take Liao Yingzhong's last sentence to heart. Once such a person chose a master, it would be impossible for him to change his master, not to mention that Jia Shidao had basically died because of him, so it was even more impossible to recruit him.
After a while, Liao Yingzhong said, "I said all this because I want you to know how terrifying our enemy is, and that you can't let your guard down."
Song Qingshu smiled bitterly. "Now that he has power in the court, and his martial arts are high, how can we take revenge?"
"Don't be discouraged, Master," Liao Yingzhong replied. "Although Song Qingshu's martial arts are high, in the court and the fight for power, martial arts are not very useful. Back then, Gou Jian, the King of Yue, took ten years to give birth and ten years to educate him. In the end, he finally took revenge. We can do the same."
Song Qingshu secretly frowned. He wondered if he should get rid of Liao Yingzhong, just in case there was a venomous snake in the dark that was always staring at him.
"Do you have any good ideas, sir?" Song Qingshu decided to sound him out first so that he could be prepared in advance.
Liao Yingzhong sighed and said, "In the battle of Wu Dang, the Isle of Heroes' army was almost wiped out, and the other elites were all killed. The Jia family's power is now much weaker than before, so we need to seek outside help."
"Outside help?" Song Qingshu was stunned.
Liao Yingzhong nodded and said, "Previously, the Shi family and the Xue family's factions caused trouble in the court several times. It was obvious that Song Qingshu's appearance had damaged the interests of their two families. In addition, our families have always been on the same side, so they are our natural allies. "
Song Qingshu frowned and said, "However, they have many informants. The true situation of the battle of Wu Dang may not be hidden from them. When that time comes, it is very likely that they will draw a line between themselves and the Jia family."
"That is indeed a possibility." Liao Yingzhong was somewhat gratified that Jia Baoyu's eyes were now so sharp that he could find the crux of the matter at a glance. "That is why we need Young Master to take action."
"Me?" Song Qingshu was a little confused.
Liao Yingzhong revealed a strange expression and said, "If you don't want the Shi family and the Xue family to draw a line between themselves, then you have to make them one family. This is what Young Master is good at."
"Sir, please don't keep us guessing. What is going on?" The more Song Qingshu listened, the more confused he became.
"Young Master, you have always been good at winning the hearts of girls. It just so happens that the Shi family and the Xue family both have pearls in their palms. If you can win their hearts, there is no need to worry that the two families cannot become one." Liao Yingzhong also felt that it was very strange. He had always prided himself on being knowledgeable, but he did not expect that he would come up with such a bad idea.
Song Qingshu's eyes widened. He did not expect that when Li Qingluo had urged him to seduce those young ladies, even Liao Yingzhong had come up with the same idea when he arrived at the Jia family.
Of course, there was still a difference between the two people's goals. One was to make him a scumbag and take the opportunity to anger the other two families. The other was to make him win the hearts of the two young ladies and marry them openly.
"But I like Sister Lin more …" Song Qingshu remembered his identity and still had to show his attitude.
Liao Yingzhong shook his head and said, "If the Prime Minister was still here, Young Master can marry whoever you like.
You don't have to worry too much. But now it is different. You have the family's honor and disgrace on your shoulders, as well as the Prime Minister's unfulfilled wish. You can't do things according to your whims. "
"Although the Lin family is not bad, it is still not as good as the Shi family and the Xue family."
Hearing his evaluation, Song QingShu nodded secretly. Lin Ruhai used to be the Salt and Iron Envoy. Later, Han Xingzhou fell from power. Under Jia Shidao's manipulation, he was now the Minister of Planning, and his status was no lower than that of the Minister of State. The most important problem was that Lin Ruhai had gotten his position because of Jia Shidao. Now that Jia Shidao was dead, his position might not be stable. At the same time, the Lin family was small, and compared to the flourishing Shi family and the Xue family, it was still not as powerful.
"I understand." Song Qingshu was not the real Jia Baoyu, so he would not hold on to his Sister Lin.
Seeing that he agreed, Liao Yingzhong liked him even more. He thought that although Young Master had suffered a lot this time, it might not be a bad thing now. "The young lady of the Shi family would have been the best candidate. After all, the Shi family is stronger. But the problem is that the young lady of the Shi family seems to have a fiancé. I'm afraid it will be impossible to get her."
Song Qingshu knew that the fiancé he was talking about was Shi Xiangyun. Speaking of which, he had a history with Shi Xiangyun and Wei Ruolan.
Liao Yingzhong didn't know that his mind was wandering, so he continued, "In comparison, the young lady of the Xue family is easier. But she grew up in a place like the Imperial City Department, so she must be a powerful person. I'm afraid you will have to suffer in the future."
Xue Baochai's tender and beautiful face appeared in Song QingShu's mind. He thought that Liao Yingzhong's evaluation was quite accurate. Although she looked dignified and virtuous on the outside, how could a woman from the Imperial City Department be a simple character?
"Young Master is handsome and naturally liked by women. So if you go all out to pursue her, the possibility of success is still very high." Liao Yingzhong obviously thought that Young Master would definitely be able to get Xue Baochai. As for Shi Xiangyun, it was not impossible. As for Lin Daiyu, it was already in the bag.
Song Qingshu wanted to take this opportunity to find out the truth of the Jia family's organization. "Oh yes, Sir, who else do we have that we can use? It's better to be prepared. "
Liao Yingzhong said with some sadness, "Originally, with the power that the Prime Minister built, there was no need to rely on Young Master to sell his man …"
Hearing the words "sell his man", Song Qingshu's expression suddenly became very interesting.
"It's just that after the Prime Minister's death, some people have become disloyal, which led to the internal division of the organization. So we have to trouble Young Master to rope in the Shi family and the Xue family."
Song Qingshu raised his eyebrows. "Oh? Who else is disloyal? "He thought that he could make use of this opportunity to rope in some people.
Liao Yingzhong answered, "Didn't I tell Young Master that the forces of the Island of Heroes were almost completely wiped out in the battle of Mount Wudang? Actually, the Island of Heroes still has a few people left."
Hearing him mention the Island of Heroes, Song Qingshu instantly became spirited. The Island of Heroes had always been very mysterious. Even he, who had been to the Island of Heroes before, still did not know many things.
"First is Wu Liu. This person became the commander of the Guangdong Navy with the help of the Prime Minister. In the end, something happened to the Prime Minister, so his attitude became subtle." Liao Yingzhong's voice was cold. It was obvious that he was full of dissatisfaction.
Wu Liu Qi? Song Qingshu nodded to himself. He knew that the other party did not really want to join the Island of Heroes in the first place. This choice was no exception.
Liao Yingzhong continued, "Next is Zhao Da and Qian Er."
Song Qingshu immediately sat up straight. The most mysterious person of the Island of Heroes was not the Second Island Master of Dragon Wood. Instead, it was the two envoys in front of Zhang San and Li Si. It felt like they were very elusive, as if they had never shown their faces.
