At the gate of Daxing County, Lin Shangli quietly looked at the slender soap-colored figure walking in front of him.
Xiao Chen came out and explained that this "massacre" was over.
These more than 800 people are not a small number. According to the emperor's keen intuition, he must have guessed that there is another mastermind behind this matter.
And I must not tell anyone that this matter has something to do with the King of Han.
When he was in Dongchang Prison, Du Shaoqin had already told him the whole story. Since Xiao Chen didn't want to implicate Li An, the Minister of Punishment, let Li An record this favor.
Although the emperor has suspicions, there is no real evidence, and he cannot ask too much at this time. If we can just let it go, it would be best. If we must investigate, let's talk about it at that time.
Lin Shangli came here specifically to take the blame for Xiao Chen, and Duan Tianming also told Xiao Chen.
Gradually walking in, looking at the gray hair under the official hat of the factory master, Xiao Chen threw his hands and knelt down on one knee.
"Mr. Factory Master." There are no words to express the gratitude contained in these four words.
"Get up, get up." Lin Shangli hurriedly walked up and helped Xiao Chen up with both hands, "Is there any fish that slipped through the net?"
Xiao Chen shook his head: "Kill them all without missing a single one."
"Okay! Anyone who offends our East Factory will not be spared." Lin Shangli said coldly.
Listening to Lin Shangli's words, Xiao Chen felt warm in his heart, but he didn't say anything and just nodded.
Lin Shangli protects his shortcomings. It is understandable that everyone in Dongchang must not be bullied outside. But this time, it is not because of the people in Dongchang.
Xiao Yu is just his younger brother and has nothing to do with Dongchang. But the owner of the factory came here specially to bear the consequences of this matter. This kind of kindness cannot be thanked with just a few words.
"This matter is over, let it pass from now on." Looking at Xiao Chen, Lin Shangli said meaningfully.
In assassinating Xiao Yu, these people were just following orders. The real mastermind behind the assassination was the King of Han.
Although the King of Han has been expelled from the capital, it does not matter if the emperor touches him as he pleases. But others cannot, not anyone.
The reason why Lin Shangli ordered no chickens or dogs this time was just to make Xiao Chen completely angry. As for the mastermind behind it, it is better to let it go.
"The factory owner is afraid that I will go to Le'an Prefecture?" Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"It's not that I'm afraid, but I will never let you go to Le'an Prefecture." Lin Shangli said with a serious face.
Xiao Chen is a man who must retaliate for his anger, and the King of Han, Zhu Gaoxu, is also an extremely violent person. He killed more than 800 of his men this time. The King of Han will never swallow this dumb loss.
Once the two meet, there is bound to be a fight.
Lin Shangli was not worried about Xiao Chen being injured, he was worried that Xiao Chen would kill Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu in a rage.
If Zhu Gaoxun is killed, the emperor will definitely be furious. The whole court will be in chaos. If Xiao Chen brings his cronies to confront the emperor, there is no guarantee that the world will be in chaos.
This kind of scene is something Lin Shangli doesn't want to see.
"Are you afraid that I will go to Le'an and kill Zhu Gaoxun?" Xiao Chen said with a smile.
Lin Shangli nodded: "Yes, I am afraid that you will kill Zhu Gaoxun, and I am even more afraid of the serious consequences. If Zhu Gaoxun dies, the emperor will definitely be angry with you. Now, almost all the captains in the entire Dongchang will kill you."
Treat you like a big brother. Even if they know the consequences, they will definitely support you. When the time comes, the entire Dongchang will be ridiculed by everyone in the world if they fight against the emperor."
"If it really comes to this point, those forces hidden in the dark will be ready to take action. Then the world will be in chaos and the people will be in dire straits. This is not what I want to see. I think this is not what you want to see either, right?"
Lin Shangli said with a serious face and deep words.
Xiao Chen seemed unable to hear the seriousness in Lin Shangli's tone, and asked with a playful smile: "If such a day comes, Mr. Factory Master, where are you going to stand?"
These words almost made Lin Shangli vomit blood out of anger. He rolled his eyes and glared at Xiao Chen fiercely.
"Where do I stand? I don't stand on either side! Besides hanging myself in front of the portrait of King Yue of Dongchang, what else can I do?!"
Seeing Lin Shangli's expression of regret, Xiao Chen also suppressed all his smiles.
He raised his head and looked at Lin Shangli quietly: "Don't worry, Mr. Factory Lord, although I, Xiao Chen, am not a compassionate person, I am not a selfish person either. The emperor at that time had great talents and great strategies, and he managed the Ming Dynasty in an orderly manner, and the country and the people were safe. I
I will never disrupt the order of the entire country because of my own grudges. However, I must go to Le'an Prefecture."
"If you go, what can you do? The King of Han is violent, arrogant and barbaric, and you will definitely have a conflict. If he makes a mistake by then, the situation in the DPRK will develop in the direction I said.
Huh?" Lin Shangli shook his head and sighed.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly: "The King of Han is violent, he is only violent towards the weak. This time the assassination of Xiao Yu failed, he will definitely not give up. When he knows that the Daxing Chamber of Commerce has been destroyed by me, he will retaliate even more crazily. Regarding this matter,
Can’t avoid it.”
"You are right, and I have taken it into consideration. The King of Han will never let it go. If it doesn't work, we will present all his crimes to the emperor and ask him to make a decision." Lin Shangli said.
"No." Xiao Chen shook his head gently, "If this is the case, the affairs of Li An's house will be exposed to the world. In this way, even if the emperor forgives him, the Ming Dynasty law will prevent him from continuing to sit firmly in the Ministry of Punishment
The position of Minister is over. Therefore, I still don’t want the Emperor to get involved in this matter."
Lin Shangli couldn't help but laugh: "In everyone's perception, you are an out-and-out executioner, but who knows that you are actually a truly compassionate and righteous person. Hahaha..."
Hearing Lin Shangli's laughter, Xiao Chen felt a little embarrassed: "Li An is not bad in nature, but he was forced by the King of Han and had no choice but to do it."
"Lee An encouraged hundreds of officials to jointly submit a letter to hold you accountable. Instead of caring about it, you actually always think about him. You, sometimes people really can't understand you." Lin Shangli said.
"He used to be quite bad, but now, I feel that he and I are on the right track. If we can do this without sacrificing his future, then I won't sacrifice it." Xiao Chen looked at Lin Shangli and said with a flattering look on his face.
.
"You have said so, what else can I say. However, you have to promise me that you will go to Le'an and be careful, and you will never touch the head of the King of Han." Lin Shangli said seriously.
Xiao Chen had an idea and chuckled: "What does the factory owner mean, that the people around him can be touched?"
Lin Shangli couldn't help but shook his head: "You, you have to decide what to do. As General Mingwei, who is a member of the Purple Cloth Thousand Households in Dongchang and the fourth rank of the imperial court, you have to decide what's right for you."
