Chapter 356 Smart

Wang Xiang didn't want to talk to him any more, so he stood up and said, "What you said makes sense. If you wait for two days, Du Bin may come back. I still have a lot of official business to deal with. I'll be here today. What can I do? , let’s talk about it later.”

Seeing that Wang Xiang was about to leave, Lu Chao quickly stood up and said, "Are you leaving? I still have something to say..."

The Prime Minister interrupted him without waiting for him to finish. "Let's talk about it later. I need to take care of that matter urgently."

 “What should we do about Du Bin?” Lu Chao asked.

He came to him to make up his mind about Du Bin's disappearance. He hasn't made up his mind yet, so why would he leave?

"Didn't you say to wait for two more days? Then wait for two more days." Wang Xiang said as he walked out.

Lu Chao chased him to the door and saw that Wang Xiang had already reached the stairs. Lu Chao opened his mouth, as if his mouth was stuffed with cotton and couldn't make a sound. He held on to the door frame and watched Wang Xiang disappear at the stairs.

 The Prime Minister came out of the teahouse, got into the car and said, "Go back to the house."

The entourage Suixi was stunned. Seeing the king's sullen face, he didn't dare to ask more questions and drove to Baokang Gate.

 The Prime Minister returned to the mansion and asked, "Where is the old lady? Are you in the mansion?"

The servant leaned back and said, "Back to Prime Minister, today I am delivering makeup to Minister Shi's residence. The old lady, the eldest lady, and the second lady went to Minister Shi's residence early in the morning."

 The Prime Minister asked: "Did the old lady say when you will return?"

The servant shook his head and said, "I don't know. The old lady didn't tell me."

The Prime Minister nodded, turned around and went to the study, took two steps, turned around and said to the servant: "If the old lady comes back, ask the old lady to meet me in the outer study."

                                     If you owe me, I should obey.

 When she woke up in the morning, Mrs. Shangguan’s left eyelid kept twitching, which made Mrs. Shangguan feel uneasy.

After Shi Mansion put on her hair and make-up, Mrs. Shangguan said goodbye to Mrs. Ping, who sent her to the second door.

Mrs. Shangguan returned to the house, and the concierge told her that the prime minister had returned to the house and was waiting for her in the study outside.

 Mrs. Shangguan's heart tightened after hearing this, and she hurried to the study room outside.

 Hearing the sound of his servants greeting Mrs. Shangguan, Wang Xiang turned around and came out to greet her.

Mrs. Shangguan came into the room and asked, "Why did the prime minister come back so early today?"

The Prime Minister walked to the door, poked his head out to take a look, and said to Suixi: "Send the people out, and you will guard the door. No one can come in without my summons."

  With joy, he bowed down and retreated with his servants.

Seeing Mr. Wang’s cautious look, Madam Shangguan’s heart rose in her throat and she asked worriedly: “Mr. Prime Minister, what happened?”

Wang Xiangxu helped Mrs. Shangguan walk to the soft couch, "Let's sit over there and talk."

Mrs. Shangguan nodded, and the two of them walked to the soft couch and sat down. "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Prime Minister Wang held Mrs. Shangguan's hand and said in a low voice: "Last night, Lu Chao's attendant Du Bin disappeared."

Mrs. Shangguan's eyes widened in shock, "Missing? Why did she disappear? Was she kidnapped by that girl's people?"

Mrs. Shangguan's sensitivity made Wang Xiang very satisfied. Thinking of that idiot Lu Chao, Wang Xiang sighed slightly.

“Probably, Lu Chao said that no one in his mansion saw Du Bin go out, so he was kidnapped in his mansion.

Du Bin can be considered a first-class master. That girl can steal people away from the house quietly. It's not easy. "

“Du Bin was kidnapped. Do you know where he was kidnapped? Someone has to get rid of Du Bin quickly.”

 Wang Xiang's eyes lit up, yes, getting rid of Du Bin is a good idea.

"The troublesome thing is that we don't know where Du Bin is being held?" Wang Xiang said sadly.

Mrs. Shangguan looked at the worried Wang Xiang, thought for a while, and said with relief: "Du Bin followed Lu Chao, and has been hanging around in the top power scene of the capital for many years, and has done many shady things for Lu Chao.

Du Bin knew very well that what Lu Chao had done, whether he said it or not, would lead to death.

Had he committed suicide, he would still have gained a reputation as a loyal protector of the Lord. "

Prime Minister Wang looked at Mrs. Shangguan and asked, "So, Du Bin won't betray Lu Chao?"

Mrs. Shangguan said: "If I were Lu Chao, I would only seek death and not talk much."

Wang Xiang held his chin, pondered for a moment, and said: "Mengbai, what you said is only a possibility. It concerns the lives of the entire clan, and we cannot take it lightly. We must think of every possibility and prepare for the worst. ”

Mrs. Shangguan nodded, "The Prime Minister is very worried, but I am too optimistic. What do you plan to do?"

Wang Xiang thought for a while and said: "Once what we have done is exposed, it will be the death penalty of genocide. Our family cannot be cut off.

Houzhe is currently on sick leave, so he asked Houzhe to immediately take his fifth brother, sixth brother, and seventh brother to leave Beijing and flee to Dazhou. From then on, he will live incognito and leave a legacy for our family. "

The fifth brother, Wang Peishan, is the son of Wang Houzhe, the sixth brother, Wang Peige, and the seventh brother, Wang Peihang, are the sons of Wang Houhua.

 On important matters, Mrs. Shangguan always listens to the king's arrangements.

“Okay, I’ll go and pack Zhe’s baggage.”

Wang Xiang nodded, "Go ahead, I'll talk to Houzhe. Have someone call Lao Wu, Lao Liu, and Lao Qi back from the school."

Mrs. Shangguan looked up at the hourglass and said, "No, that girl reacted very quickly. Her maid died last night, and she was able to kidnap Du Bin at night. You can imagine how well-informed she was.

 Our mansion must be surrounded by her spies. In the past two days, as usual, we must not do any abnormal behavior to avoid arousing her suspicion.

  It is already the end of the afternoon, and in half an hour, the boys will be leaving school. Wait until the children come back and tell them. "

The king nodded and warned: "Okay, listen to my wife. I'll go talk to Houzhe. Go and pack their bags quickly. When you go out to escape, don't take brocade clothes with you. Prepare more fine cloth clothes for them."

Mrs. Shangguan went to pack the children and grandchildren's luggage herself without using any help.

 Wang Xiang went to the study of his eldest son Wang Houzhe, and the father and son talked in secret for more than half an hour.

The Prime Minister asked his three grandsons, Wang Peishan, Wang Peige and Wang Peihang, to be called into the house.

 Half an hour later, Wang Houzhe and others went to Mrs. Shangguan’s Anfu Hall.

Wang Houzhe took his three children and kowtowed to Mrs. Shangguan.

Mrs. Shangguan asked him to carry his baggage and left through the tunnel of Mrs. Shangguan’s back room.

Hua Yanran had dinner at Shi Mansion before saying goodbye and returning to the Princess Mansion.

Shi Yamei knew that something was going on at Hua Yanran's house, so she didn't leave her alone and only told her to come early tomorrow.

Hua Yanran returned to the princess's mansion. As soon as she entered the mansion, Qingzhu came over and said, "Princess, the prince is here. He is in the living room now, and Su Er is with him."

Hua Yanran nodded and walked to the living room.

Su Er saw Hua Yanran coming in and hurriedly stood up to greet her, "Princess, Prince, you guys are talking, I'm leaving."

Su Er glanced at Shi Qing, Shi Qing pulled at Heather, and they all retreated together.

"you…"

"you…"

 They both spoke at the same time.

King Qin smiled and said, "You speak first."

Hua Yanran smiled and asked, "How long have you been here?"

King Qin raised his hand to look at his watch and said, "It's been half an hour. You were frightened yesterday! I wanted to see you in the next year, but there were too many things and I couldn't get out."

 The King of Qin was responsible for the affairs of the ceremony, and all matters, big and small, were reported to him one by one.

He was busy until Shenshi, when he finished the matter and dealt with the two of them in one go. He came to look for her before even returning to the house.

Hua Yanran said lonely: "I'm okay, but it's a pity that the morning sun is gone.

 She followed me from Hongcheng and stayed with me for six years.

I also plan to arrange marriage arrangements for them after the Chinese New Year, and then watch them get married and have children.

 In the end, she died like this, and it was because of me. "

Hua Yanran felt sad and very depressed.

 King Qin walked to Hua Yanran and sat down, stretched out his hand to hold her hand, and comforted: "I can understand your mood. Things have happened. People can't be resurrected after death. Let's be more open-minded and give Chaoyang a good burial."

Hua Yanran nodded, "Yes, Uncle Hua sent Chaoyang to Ci'en Temple. Yesterday I went to burn incense sticks for her and asked the master from the temple to perform rituals for her for three days. The day after tomorrow is the day for her burial. , I will give her a ride then."

King Qin squeezed Hua Yanran's hand and said, "Just make arrangements."

Hua Yanran let out a long sigh and said, "I thought I could protect the people around me... but in the end, Chaoyang still lost his life in vain because of me."

Chaoyang’s death made Hua Yanran blame herself extremely.

King Qin comforted him and said: "Xiaoyu, I don't blame you for this. You don't have to blame yourself. If you want to blame, you can only blame the criminals for being extremely vicious. Let's find the criminals, bring them to justice, and avenge Chaoyang."

Hua Yanran nodded, "I know. I won't make it easy for him."

King Qin was stunned, lowered his head and asked, "Have you found out who did it?"

Hua Yanran raised her head and looked at King Qin, nodded and said: "The gangster was ordered by the British Duke, and his target was me. Yesterday Chaoyang and Wang Gu took a car for a half-day trip, and the people ordered by the British Duke mistook Chaoyang for me. I just started with Chaoyang.”

"It is indeed him. My father tolerated him again and again, but he did not repent." King Qin said angrily. "I'll go find him to reason."

With that said, King Qin stood up.

Hua Yanran grabbed him and said, "Qingyan, don't be impulsive. Just listen to me."

  King Qin stopped and turned to look at Hua Yanran.

Hua Yanran said: "Qingyan, let me handle this matter by myself, okay?"

 King Qin thought for a while, Hua Yanran was not an ordinary boudoir lady, she had Hua Da, Wang Gu and others around her, and she had the ability to handle these things well.

  King Qin sat down again and said, "Okay, if you need help, you can ask Ruan Chu for help."

Hua Yanran nodded, "Thank you Qingyan, I understand. Yesterday I had Du Bin kidnapped. Uncle Hua is interrogating him now. There should be news in two days."

 King Qin looked at Hua Yanran in shock and asked in disbelief: "Did you kidnap Du Bin?"

"Well, what's the matter? Can't we kidnap Du Bin?" Hua Yanran asked, seeing King Qin's surprised expression.

King Qin said: "It's not that Du Bin cannot be captured. Who do you want to capture Du Bin? A few days ago, Ruxuan and Rujin teamed up to fight Du Bin, and they lost to Du Bin.

 Among the four of them, Ru'an was the most skilled, but he was defeated by Du Bin. "

Hua Yanran said: "Liu Guang, Han Shi, and Aunt Wang went to capture him. In terms of skill, they may not be as good as Du Bin, but Aunt Wang can use hidden weapons."

Hua Yanran placed the emphasis on the word "hidden weapon".

King Qin understood, "So that's it!"

Hua Yanran said with a solemn expression: "Qingyan, do you know about the British government raising dead soldiers?"

  King Qin shook his head, "I don't know, I only know that he arranged people for Longying Guard."

Hua Yanran said: "The people assigned to Longying Guard should be on Ming Road.

 And the dead men were the people he raised secretly. This group of people had the word "wind" tattooed on their wrists. The name of their organization should be related to the word "wind".

 It was this group of people who attacked Chaoyang yesterday. This group of people lived in the north of the city, not far from where the British Duke now lived. "

Seeing that there was something in Hua Yanran’s words, King Qin asked, “Xiaoyu, what are you going to do?”

Hua Yanran looked at King Qin, "Tonight, I will kill this group of people and avenge Chaoyang."

"Have you found out clearly? How many people are there?" King Qin asked.

Hua Yanran called out the door: "Here comes someone."

  Lonicera came in in response. "Princess Princess."

Hua Yanran ordered: "Let Su Er come in."

Lonicera left. After a while, Su Er came in and greeted them.

Hua Yanran ordered: "Have you found it? How many people are there in that group?"

Su Er leaned forward and said: "Back to the princess, I found out that there are twenty-one people living near Qiwan Lane in the north of the city. The leader is Lu Qi, and their name is Feng Gu."

Hua Yanran ordered: "Gather everyone together, let's take action today."

Su Er bowed and said, "Okay, I'll make arrangements right now."

After Su Er exited, King Qin asked: "Xiaoyu, there are many people on the other side, do you have enough manpower? Otherwise, I will ask Ru'an to bring some people over."

Hua Yanran shook her head and said, "No, you are a person who does big things, and your people should be used openly. Don't get involved in these conspiracies."

In Hua Yanran's view, the King of Qin should act openly and aboveboard, even if he uses strategy, he should also use conspiracy.

King Qin said: "It doesn't matter, a real man doesn't stick to trivial matters. As long as the method is effective to deal with the bad guys."

Hua Yanran shook her head, "No, your status is noble. I have enough people, so listen to me on this matter."

By the way, I learned from the conversation between Duke Ying and Du Bin that yesterday, King Qi was planning to attack you, but for some reason he canceled the plan.

  King Qi, you need to be more careful in the future. "

King Qin nodded, "King Qi is annoyed with me, I know that. First of all, he was annoyed that my father and the emperor favored me. When I returned to the clan before I recognized my ancestor, he was the eldest son of the emperor. After I came back, I took away his status as the eldest son of the emperor. .

Furthermore, he suspected that it was me who handed over the information about the river repairs that his father asked him to investigate, so he harbored a grudge against me.

Of course, what displeases him the most is that his throne is being threatened. So, he was looking for an opportunity to get rid of me. "

Hua Yanran sighed: "The royal family has no family ties!"

King Qin smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, the royal family has no family ties.

 The King of Qi and I have not spoken to each other since we were children. He doesn't like me, which is normal.

 The wise king grew up with me. When I disobeyed him, he also regarded me as an enemy. "

Hua Yanran looked down on the Xian Wang the most and said mockingly: "People like the Xian Wang are too shrewd. They only have interests in their eyes and cannot achieve great things."
