Zhao Xu picked up the tea cup in front of him, took a sip of tea, and looked at Zhao Heng.

He is currently unable to determine who among the Zhao family is the traitor, but Zhao Xu is willing to believe Zhao Heng.

"Xiao Heng, do you really want to know the truth?" Zhao Xu asked.

"Yes!" Zhao Heng said in a determined tone. "I have the right to know the truth!"

"But if you know the truth and can't keep calm, you may be killed?"

"I'm not afraid!" Zhao Heng said: "The majesty of the Zhao family cannot be desecrated. I, Zhao Heng, would rather die standing than live on my knees and live like a slave."

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "I can tell you, but you have to agree to one condition."

"What conditions?" Zhao Heng asked.

"Be my internal correspondent for the Zhao family. If there is any disturbance in the Zhao family, please notify me immediately. Otherwise, no need to talk!" Zhao Xu's tone left no room for doubt, leaving no room for maneuver.

If Zhao Heng agrees to Zhao Xu's conditions, it means that he is standing on Zhao Xu's side and on the opposite side of the Zhao family.

This is a painful choice!

Do you choose to believe in the Zhao family?

Or choose to believe Zhao Xu?

Zhao Heng felt very conflicted and was struggling fiercely in his heart.

Zhao Xu could understand Zhao Heng's mood at this moment and said, "Think about it carefully! If you figure it out, come back to me." Zhao Xu stood up and wanted to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Zhao Heng called out to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xugang sat down again after standing up, looked at Zhao Heng and asked: "Do you have the answer?"

Zhao Heng said: "I agree to your request and choose to know the truth!"

Zhao Xu smiled. If he could win Zhao Heng into his camp, he would have an extra chance of winning against the Zhao family's "Xiaotian Group".

If Zhao Xu took the initiative to find Zhao Heng, then it would be a different matter.

Zhao Xu is willing to believe Zhao Heng once, and also wants to use this to verify whether Zhao Heng is a person with evil intentions. This is not a gamble, but a test for Zhao Heng, but Zhao Heng does not know what Zhao Xu is thinking.

Zhao Xu took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit one and started smoking.

"Give me one!" Zhao Heng said.

Zhao Xu took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and threw it to Zhao Heng.

After Zhao Heng caught it, he picked up the lighter on the table, lit it and started smoking.

Zhao Xu blew out a few smoke rings and said with a solemn expression: "Xiao Heng, have you heard of Shen Wansan, the richest man in the Ming Dynasty?"

"Know!"

"Our ancestors were retainers of Shen Wansan. Therefore, our Zhao family is very rich. In addition, there are the Qin family, Zhang family, Ma family and Xiao family of my mother Qin Wan. These five families are collectively called the five families."

After Zhao Xu took a puff of cigarette, he paused and said: "We, the five tribes, are here to protect Duke Shen's treasure. It is rumored that he has a cornucopia and wealth that is unparalleled in the country. But after the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty took over the power, they have been tracing

The whereabouts of Mr. Shen’s treasure and the breakthrough point

It is in our five tribes. For hundreds of years, not only our five tribes have passed down the inheritance, but also those eunuchs, factory dogs, Ouchi guards and government officials. Now they are divided into four major forces, called East Factory, West Factory

Factory, Jinyiwei and six doors."

"These factory dogs are the mortal enemies and natural enemies of our five clans. According to Mr. Chen, our Zhao family is controlled by people from Xichang. But how Xichang controls our Zhao family is unknown. So, you

It seems that those two mysterious people are from Xichang."

After Zhao Heng listened to Zhao Xu's narration, he was stunned. He didn't expect that the Zhao family hid such a big secret.

The cigarette ashes in Zhao Heng's hand were half burnt. He dusted off the ashes and asked Zhao Xu: "Then the Zhao family's ancestral guardian ring is related to Duke Shen's treasure?"

"That's right! Each of our five clans has a guardian ring. After gathering them all, we can open Duke Shen's treasure. I heard that Duke Shen's tomb is at the bottom of the sea. It is one of the three most difficult to excavate ancient tombs in the country. Only Only by gathering the rings of the five clans can we open the treasure of Duke Shen. Whether there is a cornucopia or not can only be known by opening Duke Shen's tomb."

At this point, Zhao Xu saw Zhao Heng's confused expression and knew that he really knew nothing about this matter.

Zhao Xu said to Zhao Heng: "Xiao Heng, didn't you notice anything unusual in the Zhao family?"

Zhao Heng shook his head and said, "No! Ever since my uncle became the head of the Zhao family, I have always felt that everyone in the family is weird."

"You go back and pay attention, and remember to report to me if there is any situation. Also, don't let anyone know, you already know the truth of the matter. Otherwise, your life will be in danger. I am definitely not alarmist."

Zhao Heng knew that the situation was serious and that it was almost related to the life and death of the Zhao family. He nodded and said: "Understood! Brother Xu, I choose to believe you. I knew you would not stand by and watch the Zhao family's affairs!"

"Brothers, unite!" Zhao Xu extended a palm to Zhao Heng.

Zhao Heng stretched out his hand to shake Zhao Xu's hand and said, "It's sharp enough to break gold!"

With a determined look in his eyes, Zhao Heng said, "I will never let those factory dogs succeed!"

Zhao Xu was worried that Zhao Heng was too young and would be impulsive, so he advised: "Xiao Heng, don't be impulsive. The battle between our five tribes and the factory dogs has been going on for hundreds of years, and it will never be solved overnight. Only when we cooperate internally and externally can we There is a chance for a comeback.”

"Brother Xu, I understand! I'll leave first." Zhao Heng stood up to leave, worried that being outside for too long would attract other people's attention.

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "Remember to protect yourself!"

"Don't worry!" After saying that, he stood up and left the teahouse.

After Zhao Heng left, Zhao Xu sat in the teahouse, smoked two cigarettes in a row, and drank a whole pot of tea before leaving.

On the way back, Zhao Xu called Lan Xin from Jiutang and said, "Aunt Lan, tell the people in Jiutang to be more vigilant. There will be some unrest in Lincheng recently!"

"Don't worry! I've already given the order." Lan Xin replied.

Zhao Xu gave Lan Xin a few more words and called Wen Bao of the three Wen brothers.

"Wen Bao, send someone to secretly protect the Tao family. If there is any trouble, remember to report it to me immediately."

"I understand, Master!" Wen Bao responded respectfully.

When I got home, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening.

Li Qingqing knew that Zhao Xu had gone to see his cousin Zhao Heng. Seeing that Zhao Xu was back, she asked with concern: "What does Xiao Heng want to see you for?"

Zhao Xu said: "People from the West Factory showed up! The Zhao family may be in danger. I told Xiao Heng the truth and prepared to cooperate with him inside and outside."

"Are you sure you can trust Xiao Heng?" Li Qingqing asked.
