Chapter five and twenty-three

w Vice President Liu stood up and bowed to Zhu Shiyong and Tang and Huang, and said in a low voice: "Master Fu, the two presidents, I am not trying to show off, but the current situation is extremely dangerous. Everything is at stake.

It is difficult to see clearly in the clouds and mist; I am afraid that I will say something that will make you uneasy...)"

Zhu Shiyong said: "Are you worried about the authenticity of the source of this news?"

Vice Chairman Liu said: "I have to worry, Lang Yongping may not be reliable. I can only believe 10% of what he says."

Tang Jiyuan said dissatisfied: "Old Liu, why are you doing this? A major event is imminent now. How can you doubt Lang Yongping just because he has had many bad relations with you? Moreover, can we gamble on such things? Can we take it?

To put your wealth and life on the line to see if this is true? Doesn’t that mean you’re resigned to your fate?”

Zhu Shiyong nodded and said: "What Chairman Tang said is true. No matter whether this matter is true or false, we cannot bet. If we lose the bet, we will lose our entire life. Moreover, even if the news about Liu Laogen and the official document is false, we

You can't just sit back and ignore it. Once this news spreads and becomes known throughout the city, you and I will still be in big trouble."

Vice-President Huang shook his plump cheeks and echoed: "Master Fu Zun is absolutely right. I don't think this news is false. We did it so secretly that there should be no news. Now that it's like this, it must be

Chen Laogen and the official documents have indeed fallen into the hands of that Ouyang Xiu; otherwise, how could the rumors be so precise?"

Chairman Liu sighed: "Since everyone thinks so, I have nothing to say; I really can't take the risk. However, I would like to ask the prefect, do you have any friendship with Ouyang Xiu? Can you take responsibility for the prefect?

This matter?"

Zhu Shiyong shook his head and said: "Ouyang Xiu is a mad dog. People in the court are afraid to avoid him. He has already destroyed several court officials in his hands. I have no friendship with him. How can he be willing to take on this matter for me?"

President Liu asked: "Will Mr. Lu help Mr. Fu?"

Zhu Shiyong shook his head again and said: "Maybe he can help me with small things. When a disaster is imminent, Prime Minister Lu will never protect me. I see the truth in official circles very clearly. Big things can be made small, and so can small things.

Huanwu, but losing your head like this is something that no one would get angry at, so don’t even think about it.”

The three members of the Chamber of Commerce all rolled their eyes and said to themselves: You have only managed to achieve this level of success until today. You can't even lick the ditch after spending money. You are really incompetent.

President Liu added: "What kind of things does Ouyang Xiu like? Maybe we can use some means to win over..."

Zhu Shiyong shook his head for the third time and said: "This person doesn't love money or women, how can I win him over?"

President Liu scratched his head: "Doesn't he like anything?"

Zhu Shiyong said: "His biggest hobby is to catch people and use them as evidence to impeach officials, and to climb up by stepping on other people's corpses."

President Liu almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. He took a few breaths to calm down and said slowly: "Then we can only use the last resort."

Zhu Shiyong and Tang Huang both looked at him expectantly, waiting for him to speak.

"If you don't do it, you won't stop..." Vice President Liu gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words, and his voice became extremely weird: "Since the evidence is a disaster for us, we will destroy the evidence and rely on him without any evidence.

No one dares to touch a hair of Lord Fu Zun..."

Zhu Shiyong and the other three took a deep breath of air and looked at each other in shock.

"My advice is, whether Su Jin is setting off smoke bombs or the evidence is really in Ouyang Xiu's hands, we must act immediately; Ouyang Xiu has not returned to Beijing, but is hiding in Shouzhou to celebrate the New Year. This is a God-given opportunity

, must not be missed; as long as Chen Laogen and that letter are not escorted to the capital, they will have great potential."

Zhu Shiyong shook his eyebrows and said, "You mean we send people to steal it?"

Vice President Liu said: "Steal...if you can't steal it, grab it...if you can't grab it, kill it. If you destroy the official document and kill Chen Laogen, what will they use to deal with you, sir?"

Zhu Shiyong remained motionless, twirling his beard and frowning in thought. There was silence in the room. A skylark thought that there were four statues in the room and boldly flew to the window sill to look around. Zhu Shiyong suddenly raised his hand, and the skylark flew straight into the sky with a frightened clatter.

Disappeared without a trace.

"This plan can be done, and... it has to be done." Zhu Shiyong's voice was colder than the north wind on a cold night: "There is no need to snatch back the witnesses and physical evidence, they will be destroyed on the spot; the relevant persons will be killed together.

, must not leave any news; in order to prevent Su Jin'er from playing tricks, he must not be let go, and the serious worries on his heart can be eliminated..."

The hearts of everyone in the Chamber of Commerce tightened. Zhu Shiyong was really going to take a risk. Judging from his tone, Su Jin and Lang Shaodong couldn't let go either. These were all people with knowledge of the situation.

"However, it is not easy to do it. It is easy to do it in Luzhou City, but how to do it in Shouzhou City? Where to find people? After Kuang succeeds, how will the court respond to questions?" Tang Jiyuan expressed worries like a barrage of worries.

Zhu Shiyong squinted his eyes and said: "Manpower is not a problem, and the elites are not expensive. As long as there are thirty or forty strong hands suddenly launched to attack them unprepared, it will definitely be effective. You can only find the manpower. Although I can mobilize the soldiers to use them, but afterwards

There is no way to hide it; as for the court's accountability, we just use the incident of Bagong Mountain as a pretext, saying that Su Jin wiped out the Bagong Mountain bandits, and it is inevitable that some bandits will escape. This time, they came to look for them secretly during the New Year.

Qiu, the most he blames me for is my poor defense, how can Prime Minister Lu not protect me for such a small responsibility?"

Tang Jiyuan clapped his hands and praised: "It's easy to deal with it, the court will have nothing to say; it's just that the manpower will not be available for a while, it would be great if Hei Qi is not dead."

Zhu Shiyong said solemnly: "Isn't it possible to do things without that dead bandit? As far as I know, there are many brave people in Luzhou City. Desperate people only need to be lured with huge profits, how can they not surrender to death?"

Vice Chairman Liu's eyes lit up and he suddenly said: "Master Fu Zun, do you still remember the small group of bandits captured in October last year? Where are those people now?"

Zhu Shiyong said in surprise: "Yes, that group of people is just right to handle this matter. The year before last year happened to be the anniversary of the death of the Queen Mother, and the emperor issued a commutation and pardon order. These people were originally going to behead their heads. After being pardoned, they were all escorted to Xishan Quarry. Now,

I don’t know whether I’m dead or alive.”

Vice-President Liu said: "Those people are all big, round and brave, how can they die so easily? As long as they promise to sacrifice themselves and reward a large amount of money, they will definitely work to the death, and then they will all be slaughtered..."

Zhu Shiyong opened his mouth and laughed and said: "As expected of Xiao Zhuge, this plan is brilliant! We must do it quickly without delay. I am afraid this year will be uneasy."

Tang Jiyuan said: "I'm afraid there are people who are living a more uneasy life than us."

Everyone burst out laughing, causing the birds in the courtyard to fly.



On the fourth night of the first lunar month of the second year of Qingli, Shouzhou City was still immersed in the festive atmosphere. The Huaishui Inn in Xicheng had just set off firecrackers today to worship the God of Wealth and opened its doors to welcome guests; during the New Year Festival, there were not many outsiders, so the door was open.

Business is just a facade.

The shopkeeper didn't plan to welcome guests. As soon as it got dark, except for the two clerks and the second shopkeeper who were on duty in the lobby, the others put the sheep away and went home early. The second shopkeeper was a kind-hearted person and saw the two shopkeepers.

The boy who stayed behind was wearing thin clothes and was rubbing his hands and stamping his feet from the cold, so he asked them to close the door of the shop, made a small mutton pot, poured three bowls of wine, and the three of them sat around the small stove, drinking and eating hot pot to keep out the cold.

Just as the three of them were eating so hot and their faces were red, they heard the door of the inn being kicked open with a clang, and a gust of cold wind rushed in, causing the charcoal fire under the red clay hot pot to fly. The three of them were caught off guard and were blinded.

A young waiter stood up quickly with blurred tearful eyes to check. As soon as he took two steps, he saw more than 20 big men rushing in from outside the house, and they were all standing in the shop like black iron towers.

The young man said hurriedly: "Are the guests going to stay in the hotel?"

A big man cursed with a foreign accent: "Son, when you see me during the Chinese New Year, your eyes will burst into tears. Are you crying in mourning? Which one of your family members died?"

The young man said: "Why does your guest speak so sloppily? Isn't it because he was blinded by the ash?"

The big man glared and said: "You son of a bitch is still mouthy, do you want to be beaten?"

The second shopkeeper hurriedly rushed over to apologize and nodded: "Dear guests, the young man is not sensible. Come in quickly. It's very cold outside. How silly is Xiao Yi that he didn't go get some hot water to wipe your faces?

What are you doing standing here?"

The young man named Xiao Yi quickly agreed and trotted to the backyard to bring hot water towels to serve him. The second shopkeeper asked the big men to sit down and said with a smile: "Do you want to stay in the hotel?"

One of the leaders looked serious and said in a deep voice: "Let's serve some food and wine, and arrange five guest rooms. I'll have a rest after eating and drinking, and then I'll be on my way at three o'clock."

The second shopkeeper said in a dilemma: "Only until the third watch? It's not easy to calculate the rent."

The man waved his hand, and someone beside him took out a money bag and threw it on the table and said: "Tell me, son of a bitch, will you be short of money? Go get some food and wine, wait a moment and slap you, son of a bitch, with a big slap."

.”

The second shopkeeper trembled with fright, reached out and quickly took the money bag, and quickly turned around to arrange the food and drinks mdd
