Calmly looking at the situation in front of him, Liu Qianhu felt a little unsure of what to do.
The original plan was to capture Xiao Chen who destroyed the Xiuchundao and bring him back to the Jinyi Guards for further interrogation.
Now, they have confused right and wrong and forced him to stay.
It won't work if you do it, and it won't work if you don't do it.
It seems that I am really overconfident.
If he dared to destroy the embroidered spring knife in the street, he should have already thought of his words.
Coming here in such a hurry is tantamount to throwing yourself into a trap.
"What do you want?" Liu Qianhu said coldly.
"What do you think? You and your men come to the gate of the 13th Battle of Dongchang to frame me in such a fierce manner. You either have to pay compensation, or you can stay here and let your commander come and give an explanation in person." Xiao Chen raised his head and squinted.
Look at each other.
In Xiao Chen's mind, since he wanted to make a fuss, he had to make the matter bigger. If he couldn't dig out the mastermind behind Jin Yiwei, he would crush the entire Jin Yiwei under his feet first and get some interest for Wang San's death.
Seeing Xiao Chen's menacing attack, Liu Qianhu wanted to retreat.
Even if the Xiuchundao is destroyed, it is Zhang Youde's own business. But if he is dragged into the water today, the position of Qianhu, which he has just climbed up, may be a little unsafe.
Forget it, let's give in and settle the matter.
"Compensation, how much?" Looking at Xiao Chen, Liu Qianhu said coldly.
If I could spend a few hundred silver taels to settle this matter, I would give it up.
Anyway, when I go back, I will dig out the silver coins from Zhang Youde's body.
"For the sake of doing things for the emperor, if you can compensate me a hundred thousand taels of silver, I won't argue with you." Xiao Chen raised his head and said seriously.
"What, one hundred thousand taels? Why don't you go and grab it?" Liu Qianhu opened his mouth wide, thinking he heard wrongly.
"If you don't want one hundred thousand taels, then two hundred thousand taels will be fine. One tael less won't do." Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes, but his words were unusually calm.
"Do you think your reputation is worth two hundred thousand taels?" Liu Qianhu looked at Xiao Chen with contempt.
"I am just a small ordinary captain, and I can only spend a few taels of silver. But you are making trouble here, and it is not me who is framed, but the Thirteenth Army, Dongchang, and the Emperor. You dare to frame the Emperor?
Do you want more than two hundred thousand taels? If you think it's too much, then five hundred thousand taels." Xiao Chen put a big hat on the opponent's head.
To be honest, on this street, if the other party insists on leaving, the only choice is to take action.
It's fine in the yard, but on the street, there are more than a hundred people fighting against twenty or thirty others. It's a bit embarrassing for the people of Dongchang.
To be able to keep them safely is equivalent to humiliating Jin Yiwei.
Liu Qianhu felt extremely aggrieved when he heard that Xiao Chen had increased the compensation to 500,000 taels, and also labeled himself as falsely accusing the emperor.
He really wanted to pull Zhang You over and give him a beating, but he couldn't do it in front of everyone.
"Are you deliberately trying to keep us here?" Liu Qianhu saw through Xiao Chen's thoughts at a glance.
"Hahaha," Xiao Chen laughed, "If you are willing to pay half a million silver, you don't have to stay."
"Where did we get so much money?" Liu Qianhu said angrily.
Xiao Chen took a step back and pointed at the gate of the Thirteenth Battle: "Then please come in and wait for your commander to come and take you back."
...
In the Jinyi Guards Command Division, the commander Xu Kaiying, who had just taken office, was sitting on the large wooden chair in front of the hall, drinking a small drink leisurely.
This Xu Kaiying was originally a deputy commander of the Tianjin Guard.
After Ji Gang was executed, Ming Chengzu began to no longer trust Jin Yiwei.
But whether it is travel etiquette or various grand public activities, the honor guard team of Jin Yiwei is indispensable.
Although I had a grudge in my heart, I still kept the Jin Yiwei.
Considering that there might still be remnants of disciplined party members among the original Jinyi Guards who had not been purged, a deputy commander was transferred from the Tianjin Guards, which had no involvement, to serve as the commander of the Jinyi Guards.
Therefore, Xu Kaiying was able to sit in the top position of Jin Yiwei, which everyone envied.
"Commander, it's not good, it's not good." A captain ran in in a hurry.
"What's going on? How unbecoming you are in such a hurry." Glancing at the captain, Xu Kaiying picked up the small wine cup on the table, raised her head and poured it into her mouth.
"Liu Qianhu, the fifth thousand household, and a hundred households, as well as more than 20 Jinyi guards, were detained by the 13th Army of Dongchang." Wiping the sweat on his forehead, the colonel said
Wei said hurriedly.
"What?" Xu Kaiying suddenly stood up and placed the wine cup in his hand on the table with a "bang" sound.
"We Jinyiwei and Dongchang go their own way and do not interfere with each other. Why do they want to detain members of our Jinyiwei, and there is also a Qianhu?" Xu Kaiying said angrily.
Although the emperor's edict raised Dongchang's status very high, the status of Jinyiwei was also not low.
Why can Dongchang have the audacity to detain Jin Yiwei's people?
"This subordinate doesn't know that the person who came to deliver the news has already left." the captain said hurriedly.
"Who sent the message?"
"People from Dongchang." The captain lowered his head slightly.
"You are so brave. The people who detained me came here to deliver news. What do they want to do?" Xu Kaiying was so angry that she slapped her hand on the table.
Putting her hands behind her back, Xu Kaiying walked up and down the lobby.
I had just arrived in office not long ago, and I originally wanted to do a good job and regain the emperor's respect.
Now, before any achievements have been made, there is a conflict with Dongchang.
Who is Dongchang? It is an organization just appointed by the emperor. The owner of Dongchang is also the most trusted eunuch of the emperor. If you have a conflict with them, isn't it a knife-edge?
"Where was he detained?" Xu Kaiying looked at the captain and asked.
"At the entrance of the Thirteenth Army Station in Dongchang."
"Stupid, what are you doing running to someone else's door? Are you going to kill someone? Are you just waiting to be detained?" Xu Kaiying cursed fiercely. She put her hands behind her back and walked back and forth, thinking about how to resolve this conflict.
The captain opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to speak.
Glancing at the captain, Xu Kaiying was even more angry: "Anything else, I'll finish it in one go. You're hesitant, are you tired?"
The captain hurriedly bowed down and said, "They said, either take 500,000 silver to redeem the person, or..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xu Kaiying, who was in a bad mood, grabbed the wine cup on the table and threw it at it: "He's hesitant again, finish speaking quickly, and then get out of here."
"They said that if there is no money, let the commander go there in person." After saying that, the captain turned around hurriedly and ran out.
