Chapter 300
News from the palace continued to come back, and everyone in Yangzhou was talking about it.
Hundreds of Kouque scholars were imprisoned by the order of the crown prince. This earth-shattering event shocked the whole city in an instant.
After all, in the early Tang Dynasty, it was difficult for poor families to do anything, and naturally most of the hundreds of people were descendants of aristocratic families.
Now being mercilessly thrown into prison by Su Jing, how can all the wealthy families feel at ease.
"Patriarch Guo!
At this moment, the Wang family, the Li family... have all discussed matters in the Cui family, and there must be a good show tomorrow. "
Huang Tai was wearing a short jacket, holding a courgette and munching with no image.
Guo Cheng listened to his ambiguous words, lightly shook his cattail fan and said, "Is there any good show to watch?
The old man really never expected that His Highness the Crown Prince would be so steady.
Hundreds of scholars came to gather a crowd to make trouble, but he was able to deal with it so calmly.
No one has been killed or injured so far, so it won't be easy for me to deal with it next time! "
"That's true.
If His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't mess around, we really don't know how to use it. "
Huang Tai wiped his mouth, and took a sip from the water bottle.
The white old man looked contemptuous when he saw it, and asked tentatively: "Brother Guo.
You have always been resourceful and resourceful, so you must have arranged for it long ago, right? "
"Hehe~"
Guo Cheng smiled and remained silent when he heard the words, pretending to be silent for a moment.
Seeing that both Huang and Bai were anxious, he said slowly: "The two virtuous brothers, have you forgotten, why did His Highness the Crown Prince search Fengming Yuan?"
"Ok?"
Huang and Bai were startled when they heard the words, and looked at each other in bewilderment.
Huang Tai was impatient, and was the first to say dissatisfiedly: "My little brother is not smart enough, if Patriarch Guo has something to say, you might as well speak up."
Guo Cheng shook his head when he saw it, and said in a low voice: "The old man has received the news.
His Highness the Crown Prince raided Fengming Court because Mrs. Wu had tied up Xin Yaoqin's maid.
Thinking about it, if His Highness hadn't been interested in Xin Yaoqin, he would never stand up for a humble maid.
That being the case.
If something happened to Xin Yaoqin, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would definitely be furious! "
"What brother Guo said is true."
The white old man nodded thoughtfully, then smiled helplessly.
"It's a pity that Xin Yaoqin is now in the palace.
With the guards of the Eastern Palace by his side, how could something unexpected happen. "
"What if she's not in the palace?"
Guo Cheng squinted his eyes and muttered softly.
The old man was startled for a moment, and suppressed his impulse to slap his fan vigorously.
Huang Tai didn't have such a city, and asked straight to the point: "We are all grasshoppers on the same rope, why does Patriarch Guo bother to talk about him like this.
If you really have a plan, just speak out, why are you so coy? "
Guo Cheng cursed secretly, raised his head and said seriously: "I heard that Xin Yaoqin and her maid Lianxue are very close relatives.
Earlier, my lord sent someone to send news that His Royal Highness had found out where Lianxue was.
It's just that Lianxue was seriously injured, so she couldn't leave for the time being, and she must be resting in the small courtyard where she is being held.
If the old man's expectations are correct, Xin Yaoqin will definitely visit the small courtyard.
In her capacity, there must not be too many guards escorting her along the way.
We only need to send our confidantes to intercept and kill him secretly, and he will be able to anger His Highness the Crown Prince with one blow.
When the time comes, His Highness will be furious, and there is no guarantee that he will not vent his anger by knocking on the scholar.
Even if the concubine fails to dissuade her, she will definitely lose her sense of propriety in the future! "
"Hi~"
When Huang and Bai heard this, they suddenly gasped.
Even on weekdays, killing people in the street is a big deal, not to mention the prince and empress are here now.
Once this matter is leaked, it must be a serious crime of ransacking the family and exterminating the family.
Judging from what Su Jing did in the past, he would definitely not care about the court's laws.
"Brother Guo!
This matter is no small matter, how sure are you? "
The old man Bai changed his usual frolicking and asked in a low voice.
Guo Cheng shook his cattail fan subconsciously, took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and replied: "My Guo family is willing to send out fifty masters, all of whom have seen blood with the old man.
If the two virtuous younger brothers are willing to give it a go, the old man guarantees that there is a [-]% certainty! "
"Fifty master?!"
The old man Bai frowned when he heard the words, and said bitterly: "My Bai family has been kind to others in recent years, there are not fifty experts to send.
If brother Guo wants 50 people, the old man is really powerless. "
"Old man white!
Even now, you still want to hide your clumsiness! "
Huang Tai yelled, and said angrily: "A few days ago, a group of Shu merchants were robbed thirty li away from the city.
Others don't know who did it, but this old man knows it!
Your Bai family has raised bandits outside the city in the early years, and has robbed countless passing traders in the past ten years.
If you didn't know how to measure and didn't do anything to my Huang family, the old man would have sent someone to suppress it for you.
Today, when we are waiting for life and death, you are still thinking about calculating? "
"Humph!
That's my Bai family's retreat, how can I show it to others so easily! "
Seeing being exposed by Huang Tai, the old man Bai said indignantly: "We are waiting for the rich merchants in Yangzhou, who hasn't kept a good player in secret.
Your Huang family sent people to sea 20 years ago, and over the years, they have transported more than a thousand children one after another.
If the old man's expectations are correct, your Huang family must have occupied a small island overseas.
If it weren't for the inconvenient sale of Yangzhou's family property, you, Huang Tai, would have already gone overseas to become the king! "
"Old man Bai, how dare you slander the old man like this!"
Huang Tai got up angrily.
The white old man is not to be outdone either.
Seeing this, Guo Cheng sighed helplessly, waved his hands and said, "Sit down.
It's about our wealth and lives, how about the two patriarchs calm down for a while? "
"Humph!"
Huang and Bai snorted coldly, and sat down reluctantly.
It's just that Guo Cheng didn't notice that an inexplicable color flashed in the eyes of both of them.
“This is a matter of great importance and there is no room for error.
If the two Patriarchs really don't want to send people to go with them, I'll think of other ways..."
"Another way?!"
Huang Tai was startled when he heard the words, and urged urgently: "Patriarch Guo.
Now that the situation is urgent, how can we allow us to make another plan.
Once the lord shows his clues, the merchants such as me will inevitably die. "
"Hehe~
What the head of the Huang family said is extremely reasonable.
But the two patriarchs are unwilling to send people to help, so the old man is in vain! "
Guo Cheng sneered.
The old man smacked his lips in embarrassment.
Seeing this, Huang Tai calculated carefully for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!
Since Patriarch Guo is so confident, the old man will send fifty experts to listen to your arrangement later.
But the old man has something to say first, this matter is related to our wealth and life.
Regardless of the success or failure of today's matter, no one can be allowed to survive afterwards! "
"As it should be!"
Guo Cheng nodded appreciatively.
Then he looked at the silent old man Bai, and asked in a deep voice: "Brother Bai Xian.
Brother Huang Xiandi and I are willing to send people to intercept and kill them, but what do you think? "
"Ugh!"
The white old man sighed heavily.
Slowly raising his hand to wipe away his tears, he replied sadly: "Since the two Patriarchs have already agreed, how can I refuse.
It's just that the family's confidantes are all raised by the old man himself, and I really can't bear to send them on the road.
I also ask the two patriarchs who are capable to work harder and do my best for the old man. "
"Pooh!
Old man Bai, you are really shameless! "
Huang Tai spat lightly.
Guo Cheng also pouted secretly.
Although everyone is a wealthy businessman, it has long been instinctive to say one thing and do another.
But to be as shameless as the white old man does require some skills.
"Since the two Patriarchs have no objections, let's send someone to set off in half an hour.
The old man will go to the restaurant near the small courtyard to watch in person, and he will definitely not let anyone leak a word. "
"it is good!
That being the case, the old man went back to prepare first.
Farewell! "
Huang Tai bowed his hands, turned around and left.
The white old man also stood up tremblingly, and walked slowly towards the outside of the house.
After today, Yangzhou might really change.
