When the man in black saw the money, he was very excited when he heard Hu Yanxin said that he could give money. He thought that the money given by the Zhong family was not as much as what they gave, because the Zhong family gave the money after the fact. These people were rogues in the first place, of course. Anyone who gives money will do things for them, so it is normal for them to turn against each other.
"Brother Huyan, don't worry. Just take out the money and leave the rest to us!"
Hu Yanxin smiled, took out ten taels of silver notes from his arms and handed them over: "Please see if there is any problem first."
The man in black picked up the banknote and checked it carefully. After confirming that there was no problem, he said that it was actually the Zhong family who asked us to pretend that Sheng Guoer's killer came to hurt Concubine Li and prevent Sheng Guoer from contacting Concubine Li. Their Zhong family's business.
In order to avoid getting into trouble, the Zhong family hired them to do such a thing, but Hu Yanxin didn't care, as long as they were willing to help kill the Zhong family, as for the money, he really didn't care.
As long as you agree to help us fight against the Zhong family, you will not only receive corresponding generous rewards, but you will also intercede with Prince Rong and forgive your sins.
"Brother Huyan, don't worry, the matter is taken care of by us. We guarantee to complete the task!"
Hu Yanxin nodded, took out another five taels of silver notes and threw it to the man in black: "This is your travel expenses. I hope you will do it beautifully and leave no trace behind."
"Don't worry, Brother Huyan, just wait to receive news from us!" The man in black put away the banknotes and left.
A smile appeared on Hu Yanxin's lips. He could definitely help Sheng Guoer uproot the Zhong family this time.
After Concubine Li heard the truth, she was secretly shocked by the stupidity of the Zhong family. How could she choose these rogues to serve her? What did the Zhong family think?
On the other side, Zhou Rui saw that everything about the Zhong family was exposed, and thought that he could not be implicated by them, so he simply acted preemptively and showed his true colors. He also confessed all the Zhong family servants who were following him, and then everyone knew, It turns out that the Zhong family is causing trouble all the way.
Zhongfu.
"Master..."
A boy hurried into the room and shouted.
Zhong Mingyuan frowned, feeling extremely unhappy. As soon as he came back, this little guy started screaming like he was mourning.
"What are you doing in a hurry? There are no rules!"
When the servant heard this, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy: "Young master, please forgive me. This slave deserves to die. I just heard one thing, and this matter is too urgent, so I was so rash."
Zhong Mingyuan snorted coldly, waved his hand for the boy to get up, and then he slowly got up.
"What happened? How is the man in black?" Zhong Mingyuan asked.
The boy wiped the sweat from his forehead and took a breath and said: "Master, I heard that all the men in black were recruited. They said they were sent by the Zhongfu to kill the imperial concubine. Zhou Rui sold us too. Those servants said Just doing what you're told."
"Snapped!"
Zhong Mingyuan smashed the cup on the table with one palm.
"Zhou Rui, you cheap maid, how dare you betray me, I will never spare you!" Zhong Mingyuan shouted angrily.
When the boy saw this, he quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Master, calm down. You have no way out now. You can only continue to cooperate with the Chen family."
Zhong Mingyuan thought it made sense when he heard it. As long as the Zhong family continued to cooperate with the Chen family, there would be a turn for the better. But now, they had already lost their skin, so they had no choice but to go against the Sheng family, otherwise the Zhong family would be completely ruined.
"Master, what should we do next?" the boy asked.
Zhong Mingyuan thought for a moment and said, "You go out first. I will call you in later."
The boy nodded and left.
Zhong Mingyuan sat on the chair, holding the armrests with both hands, and his eyes were terrifyingly gloomy. All these plans were designed by him. Originally, as long as the Zhong family could cooperate with the Chen family, the Sheng family would definitely be restrained, but now All wasted.
"Sheng family, Sheng Guo'er! I will never let you go!" Zhong Mingyuan said through gritted teeth.
Zhong Mingyuan said: "Arrange the carriage immediately, I want to go to Chen's house."
Chen family.
"As for the construction matter, we have to hurry up and implement it. After all, the power of the Sheng family is getting stronger and stronger now. I'm worried that we can't get rid of them as soon as possible."
Chen Liwen said: "How could you choose such rogues to accomplish these things? The most important thing now is to repair the relationship with Concubine Li and let her not misunderstand that we really want to kill her."
Zhong Mingyuan said, "I heard that your fiancée Lu Wanqing has a good relationship with Concubine Li. Can you please help make peace with her?"
Chen Liwen said that Concubine Li and I are just ordinary friends. We can't say whether our relationship is good or bad, but I will try to find a way.
"Then please leave it to Brother Chen. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."
"Well, okay, walk slowly."
Zhong Mingyuan came out of Chen's house and went straight to Concubine Li's residence. He thought about explaining it to Concubine Li personally.
But when he arrived at Concubine Li's temporary palace, he didn't find Concubine Li back. Instead, the servant guarding the gate said that Concubine Li had fallen ill overnight when she came back from Sheng Guoer's resort yesterday.
Zhong Mingyuan was confused for a moment, could it be Sheng Guoer who was behind this? But this is too ridiculous. Could it be that she wanted to use this method to sow discord between herself and Concubine Li?
They thought that because of Sheng Shi's outstanding performance and Hu Yanxin's heroic rescue, Prince Rong planned to meet the holy official, and Concubine Li had to make her confession public because they had some doubts about whether the Zhong family was loyal to them. , if it was really just to make Sheng Guoer feel uncomfortable, why would he send a killer to deal with Su Jin so harshly? Although the men in black were not killed at Hu Yanxin's insistence, Concubine Li was still worried about it. However, the Zhong family had given her a lot of benefits before, and now she could only be fair and let others Competing with him and not pursuing him for killing Wang Jijia would be considered a great favor.
Therefore, Concubine Li decided to open the construction of the palace to open recruitment.
The address for this open recruitment was a teahouse in the city, and this teahouse was owned by the Zhong family.
Zhong Mingyuan looked at the lively people outside and suddenly felt, was he doing the right thing? Is it really worth it?
Zhong Mingyuan fell into deep thought.
Concubine Li chose the Zhong family for recruitment, which actually gave the Zhong family their last chance. After learning about it, Sheng Guoer said that it seemed that Concubine Li still had some sympathy for the banker in her heart. Now that everything has been cleared up, Then let's meet the real chapter under your hands, and use your real skills to get the opportunity to build a palace.
And the other side.
Sheng family.
"Guoer, have you really decided to fall out with the Zhong family?" asked Shen worriedly.
Sheng Guoer nodded and said: "Mom, I have reminded you a long time ago that the Zhong family are no longer good people for the sake of profit. Moreover, Concubine Li has always disliked our Sheng family. Now there is a way to ease it." The Zhong family even wants to use this opportunity to get rid of us. Do you think we have anything to worry about? "
"Then what should we do?" asked Shen.
Sheng Guoer narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "In this case, we will take the initiative to attack and cannot wait to be beaten passively."
"Okay then, I will cooperate with you in whatever you want to do!" Ms. Shen said.
"Well, now is the time when Concubine Li needs the support of our Sheng family, so we must be more careful and not act rashly." Sheng Guoer instructed.
Mrs. Shen nodded, "Don't worry, I will be fine as long as you are here. But you, you have to be careful and don't underestimate the enemy."
Sheng Guoer smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry, I will be careful this time."
Sheng Guoer decided to play hard to get and meet Prince Rong only on the most formal occasion when she defeated the Zhong family. Therefore, when Prince Rong summoned her, Sheng Guoer did not answer the call, but So I felt unwell and declined.
"Your Majesty, my young lady is not feeling well today. I'm afraid she won't be able to come to your banquet." The steward of the Sheng family said.
Prince Rong was stunned, "What's going on? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"This...I don't know." the butler said.
Prince Rong looked at the steward of the Sheng family and said, "Go and ask a doctor to see how Boss Sheng's health is doing."
"Yes." The butler took the order and left.
Prince Rong at the banquet had been looking for Sheng Guoer, but he never saw Sheng Guoer, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. At this time, a middle-aged woman with white hair suddenly found Prince Rong. It was said that it was Sheng Guoer. My son asked him to come
"Your Highness Prince Rong, long time no see." the middle-aged woman said.
Prince Rong frowned and said, "Who are you? How do you know me?"
"Haha, have you forgotten? You once promised me that you would take me to the Western Regions." The middle-aged woman said.
"Princess? Are you? Are you?" Prince Rong looked at her in surprise.
"Yes, I am Jin Meiying. You promised to take me to be the princess. You can't break your promise." The middle-aged woman snorted coldly and said.
Prince Rong's expression changed and he said, "Aren't you already dead?"
Jin Meiying snorted coldly and said: "Yes, I am indeed dead, but I am alive again. If Sheng Guoer's construction skills hadn't attracted you here, I wouldn't have had the chance to settle old scores with you. .”
"So it's you?" Prince Rong sneered.
"His Royal Highness Prince Rong, do you still remember what I said back then? You promised to take me to be the princess, but you lied to me and made me think that I was dead, and then abandoned me in the wilderness. If it weren't for my master, he would I picked it up, I'm afraid I would have starved to death on the streets!" Kim Meiying said.
"I had my own reasons at the beginning, couldn't you understand?" Prince Rong said.
"Humph, is there a reason? The reason you lied to me was to marry a woman as a princess? I heard from my master at the time that you already have two concubines." Jin Meiying said.
"That was all in the past. Why did you come here this time?" Prince Rong asked warily.
"This time I want to kill two birds with one stone. When your sister joined you in deceiving me, I let you know what real pain is. If you want to kill me, it will be difficult for you with your current skills. Try it if you have the ability. ." Jin Meiying said coldly.
"Jin Meiying had a misunderstanding at the beginning. I hope you won't do anything stupid. After all, you can't bear the sin of assassinating the king and killing the driver, and it will also affect Sheng Guoer." Prince Rong said sternly.
But Jin Meiying said: "I said I wanted to kill two birds with one stone, so naturally I won't let Sheng Guoer go!"
