Chapter 488 Goodbye Peony
Liu Chenzhou nodded and said, "Ms. Xu's analysis is very reasonable. Judging from the prince's style of conduct to Lin'an, as well as the signs of a large number of masters entering Lin'an City, it is indeed the case."
Xu Cuitong said: "After the death of Swing Ren and the murder of the prefect was already a unsolved case, so now only the case of the imperial envoy being killed is left. I think the case of the imperial envoy being killed will be found sooner or later. This time, the "Sheng Catching Department" dispatched a large number of people, and even the masters of the "Sheng Catching Academy" have as many as fifteen. These fifteen masters from the "Sheng Catching Academy" have either been the deputy general manager or the great masters, and they are all top experts. With their investigation methods, clues will be found sooner or later."
Hearing this, a middle-aged man in casual clothes couldn't help but say, "Miss Xu, can the 'Shengshi' find out the killing of the imperial envoy? No one knows, even if they find out, what if?"
Xu Cuitong said: "At that time, I'm afraid it's time for the prince to officially start the operation of the 'Jianghai Society'."
The middle-aged man said, "The Jianghai Society is powerful, so I don't believe that the prince dares to take the blame and starts to make trouble with the Jianghai Society. Besides, the Jianghai Society may not be afraid of the prince. If he really wants to fight, no matter which side, he will suffer heavy losses."
Xu Cuitong said: "Mr. Wu's words seem to make some sense, but I have already analyzed them before. This time the emperor was angry and wanted to take action against the 'Jianghai Society'. If you really want to do this, can a mere 'Jianghai Society' be against the entire court?"
The middle-aged man couldn't refute and had to ask, "What does Miss Yixu mean?"
Xu Cuitong said: "The matter has reached this point. Instead of asking the people from the "God Captain" to find out the murderer who killed the imperial envoy, it is better to let the murderer surrender voluntarily."
As soon as these words were said, many people changed their expressions. Even Lei Ting and Wan Jun changed their expressions. Although Lei Ting and Wan Jun wanted to listen to Xu Cuitong's words, they came to Lin'an this time mainly to assist the "Jianghai Society". However, listening to Xu Cuitong's meaning, it seemed that they were the key to "Jianghai Society".
The middle-aged man said coldly: "Miss Xu, according to your wishes, wouldn't he want the 'Jianghaishe' to send his head under the prince's knife?"
Xu Cuitong said: "It is hard to say whether this method will be sent to the prince's knife, but at least, this can show the position of the 'Jianghai Society'."
“What’s the position?”
"Never confront the court again."
Suddenly, a fat man in his sixties who was in his gang with the middle-aged man snorted and said, "Ms. Xu, according to your opinion, does the 'Jianghai Society' have to offer at least half of his family's assets to maintain his foundation?"
Xu Cuitong said: "It's not half of the family's assets, but two-thirds of the family's assets. The remaining one-third can just maintain the operation of the 'Jianghai Society'."
After hearing this, the middle-aged, fat people, and several others who were wearing casual clothes but exuded a kind of "official power" on their bodies all changed their faces and stood up together, sneering repeatedly, obviously disagreeing with Xu Cuitong's words. Although these people are not from "Jianghai Society", their close relationship with "Jianghai Society" was because they made a fortune by "Jianghai Society". If "Jianghai Society" collapsed, they would not have any good results.
At this time, Liu Chenzhou had already understood what Xu Cuitong meant and secretly praised Xu Cuitong's words. However, as the young leader of the "World Alliance", once he spoke to support Xu Cuitong, he would sing a opposite tune with the middle-aged man and his group.
"Miss Xu's words make sense. However, Vice President Gongyang's beloved disciple not long ago died. With his character, he would never compromise with the prince. Moreover, being able to kill the imperial envoy under the protection of the masters of the great internal army is definitely not an ordinary person, but he is probably the senior executive of the 'Jianghai Society'. If this person really wants to stand up and protect the 'Jianghai Society', it means that the 'Jianghai Society' bows his head to the prince to admit his mistake." Liu Chenzhou said.
This seems to be a speech for the "Jianghai Society", but in fact it is to analyze the powerful inside to everyone present.
Xu Cuitong said: "With the power of the court, no sect in the world dares to confront it openly. I'm so kind of polite, even the top gangs cannot, let alone the first-class 'Jianghai Society'? The 'Jianghai Society' bowed to the prince to admit his mistakes. It's not shameful. If it were anyone, he would choose to do this for the foundation of his gang."
Liu Chenzhou said: "This makes some sense."
But the fat man sneered before: "Miss Xu, you really don't feel hurt when you stand and speak. Do you know that once this person surrenders voluntarily, some people must be implicated."
Xu Cuitong also said coldly at this time: "No matter how much you are involved, you will not wait until the prince and the 'Jianghai Society' fight, there will be many people involved. At that time, you will be afraid that you will be beheaded, but thousands. Lord Shen, are you afraid that your official position will be lost and you will have no money to make in the future? Let me tell you, act according to my words, as long as you have a good attitude, at most you will be dismissed from office. Once you miss this opportunity, let alone you, even your family will be affected."
This fat man named Chen has been an official for more than 30 years. Although his grade is not high, he has a lot of official taste. Xu Cuitong is just a young woman, but he taught him a lesson. His face suddenly turned red and he sneered: "Miss Xu, Chen wants to thank you for your kindness."
Although others, including the middle-aged man, did not speak, they were like this fat man named Chen, who thought Xu Cuitong's words were simply alarmist.
At this time, footsteps were heard outside the door. After the footsteps came outside, someone knocked on the door. Two men standing by the door opened the door. A middle-aged man in green walked in quickly, took out a letter from his arms, walked up and handed it to Liu Chenzhou.
Liu Chenzhou took the letter and saw it, his expression changed. He did not read the content of the letter, but asked the middle-aged man in Qingyi to deliver the letter to Xu Cuitong.
When Xu Cuitong saw the letter, she knew it was written by the third prince Wu Keqin. After opening it, she gave it to Lei Ting and Wan Jun to read it. After Lei Ting and Wan Jun read the letter, their faces looked a little strange. Wan Jun shook the letter and said to the middle-aged man: "Mr. Wu, you might as well consider the opinions of Miss Xu. After you go back, it is best to send someone to the people of the 'Jianghai Club' as soon as possible."
After hearing this, the people looked shocked and suspicious. The middle-aged man calmed down and said, "I will definitely bring Miss Xu's opinion back. As for whether or not to do so, I can't guarantee it."
Wan Jun said seriously: "You'd better do as you do. If you really make a big fuss in the future, you will bear the consequences."
After hearing this, those people were shocked and no one said anything.
Not long after, the group left the basement, and after a while, the others in the basement secretly reached an agreement.
As soon as the seven-day period passed, it was just dark, Han Feng brought Long Yi and Feng Shaoguang to the bank of the Qinhuai River. This was the first time Han Feng arrived at the Qinhuai River at night. The Qinhuai River at night was very lively. Although the wind and rain were approaching, it was a place of singing and dancing, and it was a joyful scene. Boats and boats of all kinds, swimming on the wide river surface, not like the world, as if it were the world.
Because he didn't know where Bai Mudan was going, Han Feng was planning to inquire in person, but before he could start inquiring about people, someone came to them.
This person was a woman in uniform. Han Feng didn't recognize him at first, but soon, he recognized that the other party was one of the four green maids on Bai Mudan's pleasure boat. But now the maid was wearing a strong suit, with a bit of heroic posture in her sweetness, which attracted many passers-by to look at her a few more times.
"Mr. Han, my lady wants a maid to come and invite you over, please come with me."
"A girl is in charge."
The woman in strong clothes led the way, Han Feng led Long Yi and Feng Shaoguang followed behind her.
The woman in strong clothes walked faster and faster, and she was extremely agile. Han Feng and the other two followed her for a while before they arrived at a sparsely populated river bank.
I saw a huge pleasure boat floating on the river in the distance. Han Feng recognized the pleasure boat as Bai Mudan's boat at a glance. At this time, in addition to the three maids I had seen before, there were another seventeen more today. They were all dressed in strong clothes, led by four middle-aged women, ten guarding the bow and ten guarding the sterns, and looked like they were waiting for the battle.
Han Feng saw this attitude from afar and knew that he was right this time, otherwise Bai Mudan wouldn't have to do such a big move.
"Captain Han, please."
After the woman in strong clothes finished speaking, she had already landed on the river and rushed towards the pleasure boat. She had a light posture and a profound attainment of light skills.
Han Feng secretly praised: "'Wanhua Palace' is indeed one of the four major palaces. Just a maid, he has such a high-level skill."
At that moment, he took Long Yi and Feng Shaoguang, flew up and followed the woman in strong clothes. After arriving on the pleasure boat, the woman in strong clothes retreated and was received by a middle-aged woman.
"Captain Han, my lady has been waiting for a long time, please." said the middle-aged woman.
Han Feng asked Long Yi and Feng Shaoguang to wait on the deck and entered the cabin alone. The middle-aged woman asked someone to bring a brocade stool and asked Long Yi and Feng Shaoguang to sit down, as well as wine and food.
After Han Feng entered the cabin, he found that the layout inside did not change much from the last time. It was just that there were very few people last time, but this time there were as many as ten people. In addition to Bai Mudan, Anu, and "Red Flower Ghost Mother" Xun Huifang, there were seven other women covered with veils. The seven masked women stood around the cabin, all in the same position, just like clay sculptures.
