Xue Changshi was silent for a moment, and the expression on his face suddenly changed from solemn to cheerful, and his eyes also had a radiance. He restrained himself for a moment before smiling with satisfaction: "You did a good job. We have worked so hard for so long, and finally escaped death. We can't let those people have an easy life like this... If the prince knew about this in the underworld, he would also be able to see our loyalty. Top 23S. Update the fastest"
The man nodded enthusiastically, even though he was exhausted. "Changshi has saved our lives. We will do whatever you ask us to do! We will never refuse!"
Xue Changshi spent a lot of effort to gain a foothold in Datong and gain the power he could command. These achievements were hard-won and there could not be any mistakes.
For these important matters, he always sent those who escaped death in Guangchang.
He nodded, put his hands behind his back and glanced at the moon outside, then said softly, "Okay, it's getting late, you're exhausted, go down and rest early. Don't worry about what happens next, I'll naturally have someone keep an eye on it."
The man agreed, and then he left. Xue Changshi asked a man who had been serving beside him to deliver a letter: "Ask about the situation of the Yangzhou Weaving Bureau. After spending so much money, you should be able to find out these things, right?"
After the man took his errand and left, he slowly made himself a cup of tea, blew slowly into the rising hot steam, and curled the corners of his mouth as he watched the drifting smoke.
Wei An and Shen Chen caused Chu Jingxing's death, which also made his situation extremely embarrassing-----He was Chu Jingxing's man, and instigated Prince Jin to rebel at Chu Jingxing's behest. In the final analysis, it was also for the benefit of Linjiang Palace, but in the end, Linjiang Palace did not care about his life or death.
Prince Linjiang believed Shen Chen's words and even wanted to capture him in one fell swoop during the encirclement and suppression, so as to completely erase from the world the fact that Chu Jingxing instigated Prince Jin to rebel.
How innocent is he?!
Obviously he was loyal, but in the end he had to be abandoned after his exploits were over
Since these people are so unkind, why should he care about loyalty
Let's all go to hell together. He has nothing to be afraid of anyway.
But along the way, he suffered more than he had expected, and he almost couldn't make it many times.
He had fought hard to get to his current situation, and he would never let his efforts be in vain. Shen Chen and Wei An... must both die.
He closed his eyes, drank a sip of tea, and blew out a breath slowly - by now, Yangzhou should be in chaos.
There was chaos in the Yangzhou Weaving Bureau.
Hong Xinyuan hadn't slept all night. He paced back and forth in the room frantically, his eyes bloodshot. Occasionally, when someone came in, his eyes looked like he wanted to eat someone.
All the servants were very cautious, knowing that he had lost his precious daughter, and they did not dare to offend him.
Last night, the housekeeper who had escorted the girl to the capital came back and ran into the mansion crying. As soon as he saw Hong Xinyuan, he burst into tears and said that the girl was lost.
Hong Xinyuan didn't react at first, but when he heard that his daughter had been kidnapped, he was completely stunned.
His wife, Ms. Xu, could not bear the shock and fainted on the spot. She woke up only after calling a doctor. Everyone likes sons, thinking that sons carry on the family line, but he and his wife gave birth to four or five sons in a row, and only at the end gave birth to a youngest daughter, whom they had always looked upon like a precious eye.
Even the Xu family, her maternal family, regards this granddaughter very seriously. The gifts they have given her since she was a child are so many that they could fill up many rooms.
After their daughter was finally older, someone from the Xu family came to discuss the matter with them, suggesting that they arrange a marriage between relatives. They agreed, so that their daughter would not have to suffer any grievances as her in-laws would become her husband's family.
Now, when she suddenly heard that her child was lost, Mrs. Hong cried so hard that she almost fainted.
Hong Xinyuan was even more furious. He didn't care about anything and after he met the housekeeper and asked him what happened, he hurriedly sent someone to report to the local police.
The person was lost on the way, which was the most fatal situation - the person was unfamiliar with the place, and even if he took the documents from the Yangzhou Weaving Bureau, there were still many inconveniences.
And after hearing that the person was lost in the post station, they could not help but feel even more angry - how could a person get lost and robbed in the post station in broad daylight? This would become a joke if anyone told others about it.
After he comforted his wife, he began to give orders to deal with the matter in a swift and decisive manner.
First he reported it to the officials, then he asked the weaving bureau to issue a document and had someone take it to the local government, asking the government to strictly investigate and arrest him. Then he hurried to the residence of the eunuch Yan Gonggong who was guarding Yangzhou.
Eunuch Yan had not gotten up yet. Several young eunuchs were cleaning things in the yard. When they saw him coming, they quickly moved aside.
Hong Xinyuan didn't care about anything else. He greeted them and quickly entered the yard and climbed the stairs. When he heard the message from inside, he hurriedly stepped over the threshold: "Eunuch Yan! Eunuch Yan..."
Eunuch Yan was being tidied by a beautiful young woman. When she saw him, she smiled and said, "Oh, what's the urgent matter? Why did you ask Lord Hong to come here so early in the morning? I heard from people outside that Lord Hong has been waiting outside since dawn? The boys outside are ignorant and neglected Lord Hong. Lord Hong, please don't blame them... We never thought that you were waiting outside in person. If we knew, we wouldn't have delayed until now."
These eunuchs always speak in a sarcastic tone, and they would like to make one sentence into ten sentences. Hong Xinyuan used to not get along well with Eunuch Yan, and the two of them were not in harmony with each other.
Eunuch Yan's superior is from the palace. He is the godson of Eunuch An. He used to be arrogant and didn't give Hong Xinyuan much face. But Hong Xinyuan was not someone to be trifled with either. He was able to work as a weaver in the weaving bureau, so naturally he was no pushover and had the support of cabinet ministers like Xu Anying.
Since Eunuch Yan didn't give him face, he naturally wouldn't give Eunuch Yan any good face, and the two sides were on the verge of a fight.
Although they had to work together recently to handle a batch of silk orders from Japan, there was no friendship between the two of them.
That was why Eunuch Yan had such a cold and indifferent attitude and dared to let him wait outside for more than an hour.
Hong Xinyuan used to be unable to stand such sarcastic ridicule, but this time he simply pretended not to hear it and did not react. As soon as Eunuch Yan finished speaking, he hurriedly said, "Eunuch Yan, please forgive me for being rash and coming to visit you without sending a letter first... But there is something that is extremely urgent, and I have to ask you to do me a favor..."
