Huzi scratched his head and giggled as he said: "Wasn't it ye's orders? Something like, 'In the future, seeing Wang Fei is like seeing This King. We cannot be disrespectful to Wang Fei and cannot be disloyal.' You yourself said that we cannot be disloyal to Wang Fei. How can we reveal Wang Fei's matters to Wang Ye? "
"Ha, you still have reason." Pang Xiao laughed as he scolded. But when he thought about it, it did make sense.
He had given a death order. Jinghu Wei, who was protecting Qin Yining, had to treat her as their master. If the brothers said whatever he asked, Pang Xiao might doubt their loyalty.
"Forget it. I don't have to pry into the matters around Sister Yi. I just don't feel at ease. " Pang Xiao lifted his robe and sat down on the official's hat placed at the head of the tent. When he thought of Qin Yining, he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.
"She has a strong personality and is smart. Her analysis and grasp of the political situation is sometimes better than mine. I'm afraid that she will deliberately hide something and not say it."
Huzi smiled and said: "Isn't Wang Ye the same? You didn't tell Wang Fei about your matters. "
"You brat, who are you siding with?" Pang Xiao scolded with a smile.
Huzi was not afraid at all. Ever since Wang Ye had Wang Fei in his heart, Wang Ye had become more and more human. He was not as lazy to speak as before and would occasionally chat with him.
He was not as depressed as Mr. Zheng who had returned to his hometown. He did not want Wang Ye to carry the past and pass his days in pain. He hoped that Wang Ye could live like a person and not be bound by those matters all day long.
"Wang Ye, I will go and find out the news now."
"Go."
Pang Xiao used the time when Huzi took people to find out the news to spread out the map of the southeast on the table. He held a silk lamp and looked at it closely. In his mind, he was analyzing the situation in the south and what the Yuchi Yan might do.
Gu Shixiong was not a good person. He was so old but his brain still kept up. In addition to his ambition, if it was not handled properly, Dayan and Da Zhou would definitely fight.
If he had the Tiger Army, what was there to worry about? But the army in his hands was like a plate of loose sand.
If he wanted to train soldiers, it would take time.
He was afraid that while he was preparing, Yuchi Yan would catch him off guard.
Although Pang Xiao had never said anything, he was well aware of his current situation.
The soldiers under his command were not the hardcore army he had trained a long time ago, and he did not have a good reputation in Great Yan. Perhaps, the common people were afraid of him, or even hated him.
Whether it was in the army or among the people, he did not have a firm foothold. He did not have a strong support behind his back. Li Qitian was the person who should support him the most, but he did not know when he would stab him in the back.
After thinking about it, it was not so easy to deal with.
Unknowingly, four hours had passed, and it was already late at night when everyone was quiet.
Huzi brought back the news from the city.
The master and servant were silent for a moment.
After a quarter of an hour, Huzi sighed with admiration. "Wangfei is so capable. She is better than other women! Even when I am not by her side, she is still stirring up the wind and rain. She has mixed up the old. "
Pang Xiao glanced at Huzi and generously gave him a knock on the head.
Was this a compliment?
"So it was Duchess Ding who was locked up. That's why these things happened." Pang Xiao was so smart that he understood Qin Yining's intention after thinking about it. He could not help but sigh with emotion for her courage and insight.
"As you said, Sister Yi is really capable. She is better than other women."
Huzi rubbed his forehead and nodded repeatedly. Wasn't that the case? How many women could make all the poor people in the old capital hate Historian Gao? The resentment of the people was so great that it almost turned into a substance. Even the magistrate, who had been staying in a corner and keeping a neutral position since he came to the old capital, began to notice it.
"But Wangfei is too much. She has already made a big fuss. Isn't it better to let everyone rush to Historian Gao's house and force him to let them go?"
"That's too simple and crude." Pang Xiao shook his head. "She is worried that the people will be implicated. She is also afraid that the people's anger will not be enough to make Historian Gao suffer a big loss. I think she went to Yi Cui Pavilion to pick up Miss Yu and her sister. "
"Yes. Miss Yu and her sister are now working in Qin's Mansion. "
When Huzi talked about Qin Yining's work, his face was full of admiration and emotion.
Pang Xiao temporarily stopped praising Qin Yining. He tapped the table with his index finger and pondered.
This might be a good opportunity for him to gain a firm foothold.
"Send someone to pay close attention to Wangfei's situation. On the one hand, we can't lose the opportunity. If there are any changes, tell me at any time. On the other hand, the most important thing is to protect Wangfei's safety."
Seeing Pang Xiao's serious expression, Huzi immediately nodded and said seriously, "Wang Ye, don't worry. I'll do it right away."

The cold night passed. When the sky gradually brightened, even a breath could make a layer of frost hang on one's cheeks.
The poor people came out of their shacks and dilapidated temples. They quickly walked to the square where the porridge factory was located with their hands in their sleeves and their waists bent.
"If we run like this, we can warm up a bit."
"It's all thanks to Philanthropist Qian. Otherwise, I wouldn't have the strength to run."
"I wonder how Philanthropist Qian is now. Will he be tortured?"
"It's hard to say. Don't we all know what kind of person Historian Gao is?"
… …
There were many people discussing the same topic along the way. No one was optimistic about the consequences of this matter, so they were all in low spirits.
But when they arrived at the porridge factory, they saw that there was only a wooden awning left in the empty square. Inside, there was only a stove made of stone. There was no more thick porridge that gave off the aroma of food and white mist. Everyone's low spirits completely turned into resentment and anger.
As expected, the porridge factory was closed. Shopkeeper Qian's family was busy using their connections to save people. They, who were in a precarious situation, were once again cold and hungry, and could lose their lives at any time.
The number of people who came increased. At first, everyone was confused and helpless. But after a moment, when everyone remembered who the culprit behind all this was, everyone became angry.
It was one thing to hear the news yesterday. It was another thing to actually have no food to eat today. The people were already suffering. Now, their suffering turned into resentment. All of their anger was directed at Historian Gao and the local officials who did nothing.
"What do we do? How do we survive this winter? "
"What kind of world is this? It's so easy for someone to be willing to care about our lives. But the government keeps saying that he's a murderer."
"It's not the first time the government has done this. I heard that there was a Madam Zheng who wanted to set up a porridge factory and a nursery. However, because the amount of money she gave to Librarian Gao was too little, she was arrested and thrown into prison. She hasn't been released yet. No one knows if she's dead or alive."
In the crowd, someone casually mentioned this matter.
