"Your Highness, our yard in Nanmen Lane was picked up by people who said they were colluding with Japanese pirates and arrested."
"What?" Xiao Che was so angry that his bullets jumped. The courtyard in Nanmen Lane was his secret stronghold. There were more than twenty dead soldiers inside, all of whom secretly carried out his orders.
If they were caught, it would be a big deal.
If you go to the emperor, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome. The emperor is most afraid of someone doing things behind his back.
If they knew that he was raising dead soldiers in private, I'm afraid they would be suspicious of him.
"Who brought it? Which yamen sent troops?" Xiao Che was extremely worried.
The guard replied: "He said he is from Jing Zhaoyin."
Jing Zhaoyin?
Jing Zhaoyin's Zheng Haichao was involved in the conflict between the Liu family and Shen Mingzhu and was transferred away from Beijing. Now there is no Jing Zhaoyin.
But the person in charge was the original Shaoyin, Li Shaoyin.
What on earth does this person want to do?
If he goes to ask for someone directly, it will definitely not work, and everyone will know about it.
Moreover, Li Shaoyin is not considered his person. He seems soft but is actually very cunning. He will not offend anyone, but he never takes sides.
He sent people to contact him several times, but Li Shaoyin blocked him with great efforts.
It's really hateful!
what is going on?
How could so many embarrassing and heavy losses happen to him one after another?
"Have you sent someone to contact Jingzhao Mansion first?" Generally speaking, if something goes wrong, his people outside will go find out the information as ordinary people. If money can solve the problem, it can be solved.
Ta Yue said, "Your Highness, I have already contacted him, but it is of no use. No matter what route he takes or how much money he pays, that Li Shaoyin is nowhere to be seen."
Xiao Che became even more angry when he heard this. He paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, worried about what the emperor would do if he found out.
Suddenly, a light flashed in his mind, Shen Mingzhu!
It must be Shen Mingzhu!
Xiao Che was like a trapped beast, roaring and walking around the room.
Shen Mingzhu, Shen Mingzhu!
He thought he had caught Shen Mingzhu, but he didn't expect that she stabbed him in the back.
There were so many people, and it was absolutely impossible for him to abandon them.
So what to do?
The incident was so sudden that he didn't know what to do for a moment. If he wanted to force someone to get him, it would definitely not work, but if he didn't want him, he wouldn't let him go.
negotiation?
This word popped into his mind. Shen Mingzhu asked him to negotiate before, but he refused. Is this her revenge now?
What should I do?
Xiao Che didn't even know how he spent the night. Before dawn the next day, he immediately ordered someone to send a letter to Shen Mingzhu, asking to negotiate with her.
The time is right away, and the place is Qinyuan Chun Tea House near Shen Mansion.
Xiao Che left early, and when Shen Mingzhu arrived in a sedan chair slowly, Xiao Che was already extremely impatient to wait.
Xiao Xian didn't come.
Xiao Che immediately became more certain that it was them who did it. Xiao Xian didn't come because he went to take care of the dead soldiers.
Xiao Che felt like there was a fire burning in his heart.
Shen Mingzhu was not in a hurry. She smiled slightly and walked forward slowly to salute. Her movements were elegant and her manners were thoughtful. There was nothing that could be faulted.
Xiao Che said coldly: "Shen Mingzhu, there's no need to be pretentious, let's talk about the terms."
