章 860: Chapter 47 Hong Xingping_2

So when Li Zhao stood in front of the desk, his eyes intensely fixed on him, Hong Xingping felt a bubbling heat rising in his veins, his voice slightly trembling as he asked, "...What opportunity?"

"..."

It indeed was a good opportunity.

Li Zhao was not fighting alone. The Dali Temple's Di Shaoqing, the most promising newcomer in the court over the past two years, had not yet seized power, but once this case was resolved, those who were pulled down would certainly vacate their positions for him. He also had support from behind, and in the foreseeable future, he could very well be a major player in the Southern Office.

And if the Sixteen Guards were under the Southern Office, why couldn't he serve under Magistrate Di?

...As long as he dared to take this gamble.

The struggles in Shengjing were complex, yet in another way, profoundly simple; if he turned into a spear thrusting towards the family conglomerates, he would certainly receive the support of the scholarly class.
