Chapter 328 Stop playing
Qin Sheng looked around and said, "Xie Zhan, you actually mobilized the Southland's defense to deal with me. What a generous move!"
Xie Zhan said nothing. He used all his strength to fight a lion against a rabbit. What's more, Qin Sheng's force value is so high. As long as there is a chance to get rid of the Qin family or the Lu family, he will try hard no matter how high the price is.
"Qin Sheng, do you think you can escape this time?" Xie Zhan asked him, "In other words, you can escape yourself. Where is Mr. Xue?"
Qin Sheng could tell that Xie Zhan was really trying his best to improve the relationship between him and Mr. Xue.
"Xie Zhan, since you made the move, don't you want to know why we came anyway even though we knew you had set up this Hongmen Banquet?" Qin Sheng asked him.
Xie Zhan looked at him quietly.
"You don't think we are being forced to come, do you? If you really think so, take a look at this before you order them to take action!" Qin Sheng took out a piece of paper from his arms.
The note was the only item his wife put in her brocade bag.
Xie Zhan didn't want to watch, he just wanted to be willful and follow his own ideas, catch Qin Sheng, life or death, and use the fact that Qin Sheng left Liaodong County privately to uproot the Qin family!
Then, he interrogated Xue Xu and obtained the grain hidden by the Zhu family.
If possible, he could later bring down the Ji family on the grounds of harboring criminals from the imperial court.
The final success was achieved in one fell swoop!
Let him finish this campaign well.
But reason does not allow him to be so willful.
"If you don't read it, you will definitely regret it." Qin Sheng's hand kept moving forward to hand him the paper.
"Xie Bai, go and get the paper." Xie Zhan ordered.
So Xie Bai stepped forward, took the paper from Qin Sheng's hand, and handed it to the head of the family.
Everyone could clearly see that after Xie Zhan took the paper from Xie Bai, he went from being careless at first, to standing up straight, to being extremely frightened, to finally frowning and tightening his jaw muscles.
Xie Zhan held the piece of letter paper and did not move for a long time, but Qin Sheng and the others could see the veins appearing on the back of his hands, and he himself was also gritting his teeth.
Ji Wuyin looked at it curiously, guessing in his heart that he was angry?
Seeing Xie Zhan's calm and composed face starting to crack little by little, Qin Sheng was secretly happy, that's right!
Seeing Xie Zhan deflated and Ji Wuyin scratching his heart, he couldn't help but crane his neck to see what was written on that piece of paper.
But it was impossible for him to see it. But he really wanted to know what was written on it, and why did Xie Zhan's face become so gloomy that he could shed water after reading it?
Ji Wuyin quietly bumped Xue Xu next to him with his elbow, lowered his voice and asked him, "What exactly was written on the letter that made Xie Zhan look so ugly?"
Xue Xu: "Are you curious?"
Ji Wuyin replied, "Curious, aren't you curious?"
"I'm not very curious." Xue Xu had a guess in his mind, but he didn't know if it was right or not.
"Do you think Qin Sheng will tell me the answer if I invest 30,000 taels of silver in Liaodong County?"
Suddenly, the way Xue Xu looked at him changed, "You know how to use money. I'll tell you what I know. How about you invest 20,000 taels in Liaodong County?" With incomplete information, Xue Xu surrendered 10,000 taels.
I feel like this is already a discounted price.
"I don't want it!" Ji Wuyin refused arrogantly. If you want to listen to it, just listen to the full version. Who wants to listen to the incomplete version?
Compared to Qin Sheng, Xue Xu and Ji Wuyin who were relaxed, Xie Zhan was very condensed.
Xie Bai also noticed that the situation was not good, and he looked at their family head worriedly.
Xie Zhan closed his eyes, then opened them suddenly, as if he was mentally prepared, and looked at the paper in his hand again.
I saw it written on the paper:
Xie Zhan, don’t touch Qin Sheng.
Otherwise, everyone will perish together.
I, Lu Songli, never tell lies.
It is true that Qin Sheng went south secretly as a guilty minister, defying the king's law. But you, the Xie clan, are even more guilty of raising private soldiers.
Conquering the Southern Army: Xie Fang, Xie Wei, Xie Haoran, Xie Yangui.
The last line seemed to be written to prove that what she said was true.
Xie Zhan remembered that when he read the first two sentences just now, he felt cold and disapproving in his heart.
But when he read the fifth sentence, his whole body tensed up. At that time, Xie Zhan had only one thought in his mind: How did Lu Songli know? Could it be that she was deceiving him?
But when Xie Zhan continued to look down, the luck in his heart suddenly dissipated. The words "very wise and almost demonic" came to his mind.
Xie Fang, Xie Wei, Xie Haoran, and Xie Yangui are the young generals who have emerged in the Southern Army in recent years, and Xie Wei is among them.
Xie Zhan felt as if his internal organs were burning at the moment.
Xie Zhan's guess was correct, Lu Songli was indeed not deceiving him.
Previously, Lu Songli found out that Xie Zhan used his identity as Chen's son-in-law to send out a group of clan elites to turn them from light to dark. She suspected that the Xie clan had a hidden force.
This hidden force is most likely to be placed by the Xie family in the military and commercial circles.
Combined with the original work, Xie Zhan took over the role of the young emperor of the Qin family, controlled the government, and took power as regent.
Lu Songli suspected that the hidden power of the Xie family would be placed in the army by the head of the Xie family. This was because a pure and honest family could not raise an ambitious heir like Xie Zhan.
Furthermore, power generates money, power brings wealth, and powerful people are not short of money. It is a waste to hide power in the business world.
As the saying goes, political power comes from the barrel of a gun.
It is said in "The Prince" that force is the primary basis of political power.
The power of the Xie family needs to be supported by force.
The reason why Lu Songli guessed that this hidden force of the Xie family was hiding in the Southern Conquest Army was related to the fact that Xie Zhan chose Lingnan as the place of exile for the Xie family.
People have the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Under the premise that the Xie family was expelled from their homes and extremely insecure, the place Xie Zhan chose must be the most beneficial to them and something they can rely on.
What could be more reassuring and reliable than having armed forces on the ground?
She also inquired with the Qin brothers about the situation of the Northern Army, and could almost rule out that the Xie family was hiding in the Northern Army. Furthermore, Pingzhou was too dangerous, so it could be ruled out.
After locking her eyes on the Conquering Southern Army, her eyes fell on the most outstanding general named Xie in the Conquering Southern Army.
Because Lu Songli has always known that the Xie family is very proud of their surname. She bet that with the pride of the Xie family heads, even if the Xie family has hidden power, they will not go out of their way to change their surname.
As soon as this information is overlapped and filtered, won’t it come out?
But she is not sure yet, among the four Xie Fang, Xie Wei, Xie Haoran and Xie Yangui, which one is the Xie family member she is looking for?
But it doesn't matter, Lu Mingzhi has a close relationship with Sun Congyi of the Sun family. She has already asked Lu Mingzhi to write to Sun Congyi of the Sun family. I believe the Sun family will not be stingy in giving advice.
The Sun family has also been in the army for generations, guarding the southern border, so they should be familiar with the generals in the army.
Lu Songli knew very well that the most dangerous thing about Qin Sheng's trip to the South was meeting Xie Zhan.
She predicted that after Xie Zhan's meritorious service in the Southland, the Xie family would be restored to their status as good people. This was an inevitable result.
Lu Songli's purpose in writing this letter was to warn Xie Zhan, don't think that your Xie family now has an upright identity, and when you see Qin Sheng, you think you can beat up the drowned dog.
At present, both parties are half in the water, one has his head above the water, and the other has his body above the water. Don't think that you are living in the sun.
If you want to touch Qin Sheng, that's fine. Let's all lift the table together and stop playing.
Smart people cherish their lives, and Lu Songli believed that Xie Zhan would make a good choice.
After Xie Zhan took a deep breath, he looked at Qin Sheng steadily and said, "Qin Sheng, you are very good." The ends of his eyes were red, and he was obviously very angry.
Qin Sheng puffed up his chest, of course he was fine.
"I received the gift Lu Songli gave me." Xie Zhan said seriously.
Xie Zhan understood Lu Songli's warning.
The hidden force that the Xie family has invested in the army is similar in nature to raising private soldiers.
If you are brought before the emperor, you will not be able to escape the label of having evil intentions and plotting rebellion. Then it will not be a matter of the whole clan being exiled, but a matter of punishing several clans.
This letter of hers is telling him that either we all live together, or we all report to the emperor, we all die together, and walking on the road to hell together will be fun.
"Then do you like it?" Qin Sheng asked seriously.
It’s heartbreaking to kill someone!
Ji Wuyin saw that Xie Zhan's expression changed. He looked at Master Qin Liu with admiration. His words were too poisonous. He was going to offend people to death. Fortunately, Xie Zhan didn't have a heart disease. If he had a heart disease, he would be punished.
He was so angry that he vomited blood.
Cough cough! Cough cough! Xue Xu coughed desperately and reminded Qin Sheng that was almost enough.
"I like it!" Xie Zhan gritted his teeth.
Later, when Xue Xu learned the truth, she couldn't help but lament that the fight between Xie Zhan and Lu Songli, a former unmarried couple, was really fierce.
You hold my lifeline, and I hold your fatal weakness.
The two of them really wanted to kill each other, and they really showed no mercy at all.
At this time, after receiving Xie Zhan's answer, Qin Sheng asked arrogantly, "Then you know what to do now?"
Xie Zhan said word by word, "Let them go!"
Xie Bai was stunned for a moment, then shouted, "Master!"
What happened? What was written on that piece of paper? It made the head of the family change his attitude so much!
If you let them go, they will fall short!
"I said, let them go!" Xie Zhan's attitude was tougher than ever.
No matter how unwilling Xie Bai was, he could only obey the order.
Qin Sheng: "Who said we are leaving? Do you know what it means that it is easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away?"
