"Brother Xiao, what are you doing?" Wang Zhongzhen opened his mouth and almost said, Lin Shangli was in the private room on the second floor.
"Today, I'm just borrowing shopkeeper Wang's place to talk about something." Xiao Chen chuckled, raised his arm, patted Wang Zhongzhen on the shoulder, and squeezed through the gap between him and Xu Kaiying.
Trying hard to calm down the shock in his heart, Wang Zhong straightened his hair and bowed his body slightly: "Today, the two adults came to Zhenzheng Restaurant again. I am flattered. There are many private rooms on the second floor. If you want to talk about something, I will give you two
Could you please arrange a more secluded room?"
That old guy Lin Shangli is on the second floor. You must not choose the private room next to him.
Although our place is luxuriously decorated, the sound insulation effect is still a bit poor.
If he hears the content of your conversation, who knows what big things will happen.
Wang Zhongzhen felt extremely anxious.
But I was anxious, and I couldn't explain it explicitly, so I could only help them make arrangements indirectly.
"Shopkeeper Wang is very thoughtful." Xiao Chen chuckled, "However, someone of ours has already booked a private room in advance. I appreciate Shopkeeper Wang's kindness."
With that said, he raised his fists, saluted Wang Zhongzheng, and stepped upstairs.
"Have you made a reservation?" Wang Zhongzhen looked puzzled, "I was in the restaurant early in the morning, and no one came to make a reservation?"
"If we don't have a reservation, we'll just wait in the private room." Xiao Chen smiled lightly and walked up the stairs.
Xu Kaiying followed closely, looking respectful.
Seeing the two of them walking into Lin Shangli's private room calmly, Wang Zhongzhen was stunned on the spot.
I was worried about the young master's safety before, but I didn't expect that it turned out that I was overthinking it.
I just don’t know if the three most powerful figures in the capital gathered to revive the restaurant. Is it a blessing or a curse for the restaurant?
In the private room, Dongchang Changgong Lin saluted, wearing a green gown, holding a tea bowl in his hand, and slowly raised his head: "Here we come."
"Here we come." Xu Kaiying hunched over and crossed her hands, not knowing where to put them for a moment.
He kept nodding towards Lin Shangli, looking like he was in the wrong.
"Sit, sit." Pointing to the chair opposite him, Lin Shangli seemed to feel a little cold. A smile appeared on his face and he greeted Xu Kaiying politely.
Faced with Lin Shangli's sudden change in expression, Xu Kaiying felt even more panicked and sat down slowly in fear.
Xiao Chen beside him covered his mouth with his hand and coughed a few times to cover up his uncontrollable laughter.
On weekdays, the factory master is either wearing a eunuch's dress or a gorgeous flying fish suit. He looks extremely noble and aloof.
This man, wearing a long blue robe, paired with his fair face, without even a stubble, looks really awkward with such a coy attitude.
He wanted to be dignified but not majestic, and he wanted to be elegant but not elegant. However, Xu Kaiying was so frightened that her legs trembled.
It seems that there is something wrong in my heart and I can't be strong-willed.
"I heard from Xiao Chen that Commander Xu wants us to go talk to the emperor and let the Jinyi Guards go?" Holding the tea bowl, Lin Shangli's little finger on his right hand was slightly raised, and his index finger and thumb gently held the small spoon and stirred it.
There are red dates and wolfberry inside.
Xu Kaiying huddled her back and stretched her head out like she was carrying a turtle shell, nodding hurriedly.
He tried his best to squeeze out a smile, making himself look even more humble and said: "The ministers in the court have rumored that Eunuch Lin is a man with a heart of Bodhisattva. There are 50,000 lives in the Jinyi Guards. If he is killed for no reason like this, there will be bloodshed."
Chenghe. If such a scene occurs in the capital, not only will the people panic, but it will also have a bad influence on the emperor."
"Fifty thousand people, so many?" Lin Shangli's eyelids trembled a few times, "Then just take them to the outskirts of the capital and chop them down, so that there won't be a river of blood in the capital."
In one sentence, Xu Kaiying choked up the words she had just considered in her heart and could no longer say them out.
With his face flushed and his mouth half open, he had no choice but to turn his eyes for help to Xiao Chen, who was standing aside.
"Commander Xu, this is your fault. How can you say that Lord Factory has a Bodhisattva heart?" Xiao Chen shook his head and walked over: "A Bodhisattva is the kind of person who is admired by others but never does anything practical.
existence. How can you say that the factory owner only seeks fame and does not do practical things?"
"No, that's not what I meant." Looking at Xiao Chen, Xu Kaiying waved her hands quickly.
He seemed to feel that the real person was not Xiao Chen, so he hurriedly turned his head and looked at Lin Shangli: "Eunuch Lin, you know that I am stupid, and that is not what I meant."
"Forget it, our family won't argue with Commander Xu anymore. A Bodhisattva is a Bodhisattva, so be a Bodhisattva who only talks but does not do anything, so that people can admire you." Lin Shangli had no expression on his face and slowly put down the tea bowl in his hand.
On the table.
"Eunuch Lin..." Xu Kaiying was so nervous that she almost scratched her head and ears.
Seeing how slow Xu Kaiying was, Xiao Chen on the other side really wanted to go up and slap him twice.
Bodhisattvas don’t eat fireworks from the world. Are you prepared to use your hands empty-handed?
The factory owner’s meaning is so clear, why don’t you show your sincerity by showing off the “human fireworks”?
Looking at Xu Kaiying, he pointed towards his arms.
"Oh." Xu Kaiying suddenly realized it and hurriedly took out the banknotes from her arms and put them on the table respectfully.
Lin Shangli glanced at the banknotes on the table, and said slowly: "Commander Xu, what are you doing? Are you used to giving bribes? Do you want us to take these banknotes to bribe the emperor?"
Bribing the emperor? What kind of bullshit is this!
The whole world belongs to the emperor, so bribing the emperor with banknotes, what kind of joke are you kidding?
"Your Majesty, Mr. Dongchang, has misunderstood. This is all my savings, and I have no chance to spend them anyway. I might as well give them to you to benefit the Dongchang brothers." Xu Kaiying said hurriedly.
"For the Dongchang brothers?" Lin Shangli raised his head, "Commander Xu was implicated in Ma Yunshan's embezzlement of imperial assets, so he didn't have much life left. Before he died, he thought about the Dongchang brothers, but it went beyond our expectations.
.”
Then he looked at Xiao Chen standing next to him: "Since it is Commander Xu's sincerity, let's put it away."
"Yes." Xiao Chen responded, picked up the banknote on the table and put it into his arms.
Seeing Lin Shangli let Xiao Chen collect the banknote, Xu Kaiying's nervousness eased: "Mr. Factory Master, I'll leave it to you to intercede with the emperor."
Lin Shangli nodded: "Our family will definitely suggest to the emperor that the Jin Yiwei be taken to the outskirts of the capital and beheaded. There is a river of blood in the capital and the people are panicking. Something is wrong."
"Mr. Factory Master, why don't you talk to the Emperor and let the Jin Yiwei go? For so many years, the Jin Yiwei have worked hard without any merit. It is really cruel to have them all killed like this." Xu Kaiying's heart tightened and she almost cursed her mother.
You also accepted the money, but you only gave the emperor a suggestion to take the Jin Yiwei to the outskirts of the capital and kill him.
This is silver, one hundred thousand taels of snowflake silver.
What can't be accomplished with one hundred thousand taels of silver? Is it so difficult to change a few words when I come to you?
If she hadn't asked for the other party, Xu Kaiying would have really wanted to stand up, turn around and leave.
Fortunately, I complimented him against his will because he had a bodhisattva heart. He was clearly a devil from hell who drinks human blood and eats human flesh without spitting out the bones and dregs.
Lin Shangli looked at Xu Kaiying expressionlessly and snorted softly.
This guy is really an idiot.
How could Xiao Chen on the other side not know what the two of them were thinking at the moment? In the future, they would have to "work together" together. If they were at loggerheads like this, how could they "work together in the same boat"?
"Commander Xu, you don't understand the emperor's temperament. If the factory master directly said to spare the Jin Yiwei, the emperor would definitely not agree. How can the emperor's decision be allowed to be casually pointed out by others? The factory master suggested that the execution ground be set in Beijing.
Jiao is indirectly telling the emperor that killing all the imperial guards will have a bad impact on the capital. Using possible adverse results to influence the emperor's decision is the wisdom of Mr. Factory!"
Looking at Xu Kaiying, Xiao Chen spared no effort to "explain" patiently.
"So that's it. I'm too stupid and misunderstood the factory master's intention." Xu Kaiying stood up with an embarrassed look on her face, and hurriedly saluted Lin Shangli with her fists in hand.
"That's all." Lin Shangli waved his hand with contempt, "Originally, I was thinking of suggesting to the Emperor that you should continue to serve as the Commander of the Imperial Guards. Given your scheming intentions, I might as well forget it."
"Ah...?" With her mouth half open, Xu Kaiying regretted and wanted to punch herself to death.
