The next day, at dawn, several carriages were parked outside the Shengtang Group.
There was a lot of silver on it.
Then Cheng Yaojin appeared.
People in the group seemed to understand something.
It must be that after the eight people were taken away by Cheng Yaojin, someone came to ransom them.
So, Cheng Yaojin came with the silver.
"Is Mr. Zili here?"
Cheng Yaojin asked as soon as he arrived.
"Mr. Zili is in the backyard and hasn't gotten up yet! Can you wait here?"
Zhu Shan greeted him.
"It's best if you haven't gotten up yet."
Zhu Shan was puzzled.
Why is it best not to get up?
When Cheng Yaojin said this, he didn't ask any more questions.
After all, Cheng Yaojin is a regular customer.
"General Cheng, I have something to do here, so I won't entertain you. It's up to you!"
"Wait, come back!"
"What else?"
"Ask you something!"
"What's up?"
"Is Xue Rengui here?"
Zhu Shan was puzzled because he had some minor conflicts with Xue Rengui before.
Why did you find Xue Rengui today? You weren't looking for trouble, were you?
So, he asked one more question intentionally.
"Why is General Cheng looking for Xue Rengui? What is he trying to do?"
"Oh? I have something I want to ask him about. Can I ask him to come out and see me?"
It turned out that Cheng Yaojin was afraid that Li would become jealous, which would make it difficult to meet and talk to Xue Rengui alone.
It's a good thing that Li Min didn't get up.
Otherwise, Xue Rengui has been following Li Min, and he would not be able to find a good opportunity to talk to Xue Rengui about Li Shimin's request.
"Well, wait a moment!"
Zhu Shan then went down to invite Xue Rengui.
After a while, Xue Rengui came out.
As soon as he came, he asked: "Good morning, General Cheng! What's the matter with you coming to me so early?"
"Good morning, Xue Rengui! How did you sleep yesterday?"
Cheng Yaojin looked around and talked about him, and his behavior was puzzling.
Xue Rengui was puzzled, what is this guy going to do?
Why are you asking how well you slept yesterday?
He sleeps well every day.
Is there nothing to talk about?
"It's okay, what's wrong? General Cheng, do you have any advice?"
"Actually, it's nothing. I'm just asking, by the way, if Xue Rengui can lend me a moment to speak?"
"Can't we talk here?"
Xue Rengui was puzzled.
What on earth is this thing going to do?
He also took a step to speak.
"There are so many people here, it's hard to talk."
Xue Rengui was even more puzzled.
On weekdays, there was no special interaction between him and Cheng Yaojin. What happened today?
"Oh? General Cheng, what are you doing?"
"Xue Rengui, I just want to talk to you. I won't delay you for too long. Why are you so ink?"
Cheng Yaojin was unhappy.
Because Xue Rengui was too cautious.
As soon as this was said, Xue Rengui did not respond.
But Cheng Yaojin couldn't wait any longer.
"Let's go, let's just say a few words!"
After speaking, he pushed Xue Rengui to a pavilion in the courtyard.
After he finished, he said: "Just here, there is no one here."
Cheng Yaojin looked around and then said slowly: "Actually, I came here today to give you a clear path to see if you are willing to go?"
"Ming Road? What Ming Road is it? Am I not walking the Ming Road?"
"This...I didn't mean that. I wanted to ask you, are you willing to enter the palace and become His Majesty's personal guard?"
Xue Rengui was completely shocked by Cheng Yaojin's words.
"General Cheng, what are you doing?"
"Someone has taken a fancy to you and asked me to let you enter the palace and enjoy the glory and wealth!"
"Prosperity and wealth? Isn't that what Mr. Zili is here for?"
Xue Rengui asked back.
"What's the point here? Although there is wealth, there is very little power. How great it would be to be an official!"
"But I see that you seem to be unhappy and have always been controlled by others. Moreover, your money is not as good as Mr. Zili's, and your life is even worse than Mr. Zili's."
Xue Rengui said.
Cheng Yaojin was embarrassed and heartbroken.
He was really not having a good time during this period of time.
No matter how you say it, he is still a prince, but his life is so poor.
Therefore, his words are not convincing at all.
"Also, I have sworn a long time ago that I will follow Mr. Yu Zili. Now even if the current emperor asks me to enter the palace, I will not agree! Even if thousands of troops come to invite me, my faith will not
change!"
Cheng Yaojin really wanted to say that it was the Holy One who let you in.
But before he could say anything, he was interrupted.
It was Li Min's voice.
"You Cheng Yaojin, how dare you come to my place to poach someone! You are very courageous!"
Cheng Yaojin turned his head and saw Li Min staring at him closely.
It looked like he had been standing there for a long time.
He listened to their words.
Li Min was also glad that Xue Rengui's loyalty was understandable.
When Xue Rengui came out, Xue Rengui told him.
And he realized that Cheng Yaojin was not right today, so he followed him out.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin dared to poach someone.
And it was still for Li Shimin.
"Mr. Zili, this is a misunderstanding! I am here to deliver money this time, and the 80,000 taels are right outside the door! It's okay, I'll leave first!"
After that, he was about to leave.
Li Min did not expect that Li Shimin was still very willing to spend money.
Of course, he didn't want to expand the matter.
So I would rather spend money to solve the problem.
"Wait! Wait for me!"
Li Min stopped Cheng Yaojin.
"Mr. Zili, it's okay! I have something to go!"
"Did he ask you to come?"
"Who? Which him?"
"Stop pretending, don't think I don't know! He really dares to think that my people dare to poach him. If he can poach him, I don't believe it!"
Li Min said this.
That's right, Xue Rengui is loyal.
Li Shimin wanted to dig it out, but it was impossible.
"That, really not!"
"Are you still pretending?"
Then Li Min leaned into Cheng Yaojin's ear and said, "How well did he sleep yesterday? Did you take him to the prison?"
Cheng Yaojin was shocked by this question.
So Li Min already knew Li Shimin's identity.
"You are bullying me! Mr. Zili!"
Only then did he realize that he had been tricked.
Why didn't you tell him earlier and make him kneel for a long time?
So much so that he finally agreed to Li Shimin's recruitment of Xue Rengui.
Li Min did not respond.
Instead, he went on to say: "Go back and tell him that he can't get my people."
How dare Cheng Yaojin say this?
Even if you give him ten courages.
What's more, I dare not say that Li Min recognized Li Shimin a long time ago.
Because that would be bad for everyone.
Therefore, the bitter water had to be swallowed in the belly.
"Well, Mr. Zili, I still have something to do, so let's go first!"
As soon as Cheng Yaojin finished speaking, he was about to leave.
But when I arrived at the door, I stopped there and seemed to see something incredible.
Li Min followed and went out. When he saw the situation in front of him, he smiled.
