Birds of a feather flock together.
Those with different paths will never conspire against each other.
Those who share the same interests are those who share the same ideals.
Some people work together for their ideals, some work hard for their careers, some support each other life and death out of loyalty, and even more people stick to their lives for true love.
Fate brings us together unexpectedly; faith brings many people together.
Humans are group animals and always like to travel together. But not all those who travel together are sincere. More people come together just to achieve a common goal. Regardless of money, beauty, power or fame, as long as there is desire, there will be people chasing it. Many people cannot get what they want on their own, so they must come together for the common good.
People are always divided into good and evil. Good people mostly go together for faith, while evil people mostly go together for profit.
Although the fifth line does not like to act with women, the robbery of the official bank is related to the life and death of many victims, and the fifth line's sense of justice will never allow him to refuse. If it were for other things, once the fifth line learned that a woman was involved, he would immediately quit.
He is an upright swordsman. For this important case, he had to force himself to go with Wu Zhizhi. But he still felt unwilling to do so, always leaving the princess far behind. Of course, he didn't really want to get rid of the princess, because he still had to give Prince Xiao face.
Every time Wu Zhizhi lost the trace of the fifth line, he would always find some clues. Naturally, these clues were deliberately left by the fifth line. With his skill, even if Hua'er, Heye and Qingcao were tracking them with all their strength, he could easily get rid of them.
In this way, the fifth line reluctantly accepted Wu Zhizhi's identity, and it was the shocking robbery that brought them together.
But this shocking robbery not only brought the two of them together, but also brought many other related people together. For example, Xue Qianhe and Sheng Zhiqiang, or Sheng Lingren and Shi Zhong, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony and the official of the East Factory.
In the final analysis, Xue Qianhe and Sheng Zhiqiang are just small characters, but the real big shots are Sheng Lingren and Shi Zhong.
In Dongchang, Sheng Lingren secretly asked to see Shi Zhong.
The two of them were not only connected because of this robbery. A long time ago, they colluded with each other for money and power. They both have what the other wants. Shi Zhong has the overwhelming power that Sheng Lingren wants, but Sheng Lingren has the gold and silver pile that Shi Zhong longs for.
In order to maximize their respective interests, they had secretly colluded together long ago, before the current Holy Emperor even boarded the plane, and had done many scandalous things. Even the Emperor and Prince Xiao knew some things well, but on the one hand, there was not enough evidence, and on the other hand, their foundation and strength were not solid, and there was nothing they could do for a while.
Sheng Lingren's adopted son Sheng Moming is not only attentive, but also extremely smart. He just met Xiao Wang and Wu Xing by chance in Cuiyun Tower and saw the mystery. His guess was correct, Prince Xiao and Fifth Line were indeed coming towards their temple. Although they haven't discovered anything yet, Sheng Lingren had to be on guard. He came to Eunuch Shi today for exactly this matter.
Shi Zhong asked: "Master Sheng, what do you want from our family?"
Sheng Lingren said: "Eunuch Shi, I heard that King Xiao has sent the fifth party to investigate the robbery of the official bank."
Shi Zhong wrote lightly: "A prodigal son, a young man, has achieved great things? Is it possible that Lord Sheng is afraid of him?"
Sheng Lingren said, neither humble nor arrogant: "As the saying goes: You cannot have the intention to harm others, and you cannot have people who are on guard against others. Besides, Quan Zi Zhiqiang is not perfect in this matter, so I hope my father-in-law can help him."
It didn't matter that Sheng Lingren didn't mention this matter. When Shi Zhong was mentioned, he was still a little angry. He asked: "Is it just 'not perfect'? From our family's point of view, it is simply a failure. The death of a few people is nothing, but why?" There are still more than one alive left. The escorting general and the policeman have seen your person, and one of your people was captured by them. How do you want me to take action? Is it possible for us to help you kill him? Are they? It doesn’t matter if you die, but Qiancheng don’t be afraid of dragging this old man into trouble."
Sheng Ling looked a bit ugly, so he could only say: "Those living people don't need to worry about my father-in-law. I just need to find a way to contain the actions of the fifth line and Prince Xiao. I can leave the other things to you." After saying that, the four people at the door came in carrying two large boxes. Sheng Lingren opened them one by one. One box was full of bright silver, and the other box was full of pearls, agate and other exotic treasures.
"It's just a small thing, but it's not respectful." Sheng Lingren said again.
When Eunuch Shi saw the property, his tone suddenly softened a lot: "To be honest, our family is also very embarrassed about this matter. But for the sake of Master Sheng, I naturally have to help. On the fifth trip, I will go to Sichuan. King Xiao must first let him go to Tangmen in Phoenix Mountain. Our family will also send people to Tangmen to investigate, and will also spread the true purpose of Wu Xing’s trip. Once the news gets out, Wu Xing will become a thorn in Tangmen’s side, and his actions It will definitely not go smoothly. The Lord must handle the matter properly before the fifth line finds those three survivors. If the fifth line finds any clues from them, then our family can't help you. In fact, the success or failure of this matter The key is not here in our house, but whether Master Sheng can move quickly enough."
Sheng Lingren said happily: "My father-in-law said this, Sheng is very grateful. Sheng will definitely kill the fifth line before he finds them. If necessary, he will also take care of the fifth line..."
Shi Zhong immediately stopped and said: "Wait a minute. The Lord of the Fifth Line can't move for the time being?"
Sheng Lingren asked: "Why?"
Shi Zhong replied: "The fifth line is now considered a member of Prince Xiao. Prince Xiao has always been at odds with our family. If the fifth line dies, Prince Xiao will first suspect you and me. Looking at the world now, except for you and me, , no one really dares to make trouble on Prince Xiao’s head.”
Sheng Lingren suddenly realized, "Thank you, father-in-law, for reminding me, otherwise Sheng might have caused a big disaster."
Shi Zhong said: "Whether it's a big disaster or not, our family doesn't know. We still hope that the Lord will take care of himself."
Sheng Lingren said: "Okay, Sheng will leave now."
Shi Zhong replied: "Master Sheng, since we are inconvenient, we won't send it away."
After Sheng Ling left, Shi Zhong immediately summoned his deacon and eunuch Fan Yun: "You set off immediately, rush to Tangmen in Central Sichuan, and act according to our previous arrangements. Remember not to act rashly, as long as no clues are found in the fifth line, you Just don't get too involved in this matter. As long as it has nothing to do with the disputes in the world, our family doesn't want to get involved.
Fan Yun replied: "I understand, little one."
