Restaurant in town.
After listening to the report from his entourage, Mr. Xu drank three glasses of wine before letting out a long sigh.
Zhu Hongyan blinked curiously, "Mr. Xu, what's going on?"
"This kid Li Qian is really a very dangerous knife!" Mr. Xu just said.
"Don't Mr. Xu admire him very much? Why do you say so?" Zhu Hongyan said in surprise.
Mr. Xu sighed, "Thousands of people died in Beiba Village, and he didn't blink an eye. Do you think this is a dangerous knife?"
"Ah? Did thousands of people die in Beiba Village?" Zhu Hongyan looked surprised.
"I think the entire bandit den in Shiliang Mansion has been wiped out by him. It's hard to see another bandit here." Old Xu said.
"Then this is also a good thing. After all, it eliminates harm for the people." Zhu Hongyan said.
"Having said that, do you know how he got rid of these bandits?" Mr. Xu picked up the wine glass and said.
"How to get rid of it?" Zhu Hongyan asked immediately.
After Mr. Xu drank the wine in the cup, he just said, "I didn't expect that this time he would even plot against me."
"Ah? He even plotted against Mr. Xu, so how did he plot against you? Why am I getting more and more confused the more I listen to it." Zhu Hongyan said with her mouth wide open.
"Okay, there's nothing more to mention about this matter. In short, this knife is really too dangerous if you don't hold it in your hands." Mr. Xu put down his wine glass and said.
Then he got up and went back to his room.
After Mr. Xu left, Zhu Hongyan sat for a while, drank a few sips of wine, and then came to an alley outside the restaurant.
In the alley, a villager saw her and immediately came up to her.
That villager turned out to be Ah Xing from Beiba Village.
"Miss Zhu!" He also quickly imitated the city people and gave a salute.
Zhu Hongyan smiled, "Brother A Xing, I kept you waiting for a long time."
That charming smile, coupled with A Xing's voice that could make people feel chilled to the bone, made A Xing completely crazy.
Seeing this, Zhu Hongyan even covered her mouth and smiled.
Only then did Ah Xing come back to his senses with a blushing face, and said quickly, "I have only been here a short time ago, so I didn't have to wait for a long time. It is also an honor for me to serve Miss Zhu."
"Brother A Xing, let's get on the carriage and talk. You have to tell me what happened in Beiba Village in detail."
Zhu Hongyan said with a slight smile and stepped onto the carriage parked nearby.
Ah Xing immediately followed him and stepped into the carriage like a dream. After all, riding in the same carriage with such a beautiful person made him feel like he was dreaming, and he even almost fell down in the process.
It also caused Zhu Hongyan to laugh like a silver bell again.
That laughter seemed to have a magical power, which made A Xing feel that he was willing to die for this woman.
After Mr. Xu returned to the room, he wrote a letter and carefully handed it to his entourage.
"Hand this letter into the hands of the third prince and return as soon as possible."
After receiving the letter, the attendant set off immediately.
Mr. Xu also sighed slightly, "Li Qian, it seems that I have really underestimated you. If a person like you cannot be used by the court, how can I rest assured!"
…
at the same time.
The news from Beiba Village also reached Hengshui Thirteenth Dock.
puff!
After Zhao Xuemin heard the news, he spit out a mouthful of tea.
"The officers and soldiers I borrowed actually became his helpers?"
The tea cup in his hand was thrown to the ground and shattered.
"Li Qian, you are so clever!"
Then he looked at Qin Wenzhao opposite.
"Mr. Qin, your so-called treatment of others with their own treatment seems to have become a joke now."
Qin Wenzhao just took a sip of tea silently, and then said, "I have said before that there are too many uncertain factors in this method, but I didn't expect that the final result would be this."
"Mr. Zhao, why are you so angry? You have nothing to lose in this matter. Just continue to recuperate at Hengshui Thirteenth Ward. You can really put Li Qian's matter aside for now. After all, he will not take the initiative to come." Harassing Hengshui Thirteenth Dock."
"But, I'm a little unwilling to do so!" Zhao Xuemin gritted his teeth and said, "Although I really didn't have much to lose in this matter, I also expended manpower and material resources, but the result is this. Do you think I can be willing to do so?" ?"
"Then what does Mr. Zhao plan to do?" Qin Wenzhao asked.
"I've said before that if this thing doesn't succeed, then no one can get that salt mine!" Zhao Xuemin said.
Qin Wenzhao shook his head, "Mr. Zhao, don't you think this is too aggressive?"
"What's the rashness?"
"Since the troops of the Admiral's Mansion are helping Li Qi'an, if you destroy the salt mine, no matter whether it succeeds or not, in the end, you can let Li Qi'an use the situation to your advantage and make Hengshui Thirteenth Dock the target of public criticism!" Qin Wenzhao said.
Zhao Xuemin was startled for a moment, and then shuddered.
He also saluted Qin Wenzhao, "Thank you, Mr. Qin, for reminding me, otherwise I would have made a big mistake as a scholar."
Qin Wenzhao quickly returned the courtesy and said, "Since I have come to Hengshui Thirteenth Ward, I have naturally regarded Hengshui Thirteenth Ward as my home. Why does Mr. Zhao need to see me outside?"
Zhao Xuemin chuckled, "Yes, Mr. Qin is one of our own!"
