Chapter 119: Shameless Deal
When Song Qingshu approached the imperial study, he saw that Wei Xiaobao Duolong was also there, suppressed the doubts in his heart, and saluted Kangxi.
"Okay, Qingshu is here too." Kangxi smiled warmly, sat back on the dragon chair, looked at a few people and said, "I summoned you this time to hear your opinions, what do you think should be done with these assassins?"
Duolong said, "This group of assassins is so bold that they should be sent to the vegetable market to be executed as an example."
"Your grandfather's," Wei Xiaobao glanced at Duolong with slanted eyes, annoyed in his heart, "The Red Flower Society is also doing things to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, maybe they will hook up with our Heaven and Earth Society on weekdays, I have to find a way to help them, so as not to ......blame the master in the future."
Hurriedly stepped forward and said: "It is not difficult to kill this group of assassins, but Xiaobao is worried that the emperor has been implementing benevolent government for many years, and it is not easy to establish a glorious image in the hearts of the people...... However, the emperor is wise and martial, and he must have thought of a solution a long time ago."
Kangxi smiled silently, turned his head to look at Song Qingshu and asked, "Qingshu, what do you think?"
"I think that the top priority at present is to find out the mastermind behind the assassins first, otherwise the other party may have follow-up actions, and the life and death of this group of assassins is a trivial matter." Song Qingshu pinched a sweat in his heart, he had to take Kangxi's attention away from the people of the Red Flower Society first, and then find a way to save him.
"No need to look, I know." Kangxi said with a solemn expression.
"Isn't the assassin still in prison and not being tried?" After Duolong was stunned for a moment, he looked at Kangxi with admiration, "The emperor is really unfathomable."
"When I heard that they were the Red Flower Society last night, I knew who the mastermind was," Kangxi said hatefully, "Chen Jialuo, the chief helmsman of the Red Flower Society, has always had an unclear relationship with Prince Bao, and according to my spies, this assassination was secretly instructed by Prince Bao."
"Prince Bao?" Duolong chuckled in his heart, thinking that Prince Bao and the emperor had abandoned their previous suspicions and resisted the Mongols together, but he didn't expect that after so long, he still couldn't help it.
"His grandfather's! Prince Bao is so bold," Wei Xiaobao rolled up his sleeves, looking like he was about to fight, "The emperor was already magnanimous enough to treat him before, but I didn't expect Prince Bao to intensify his efforts and commit such a deceitful behavior, just as the so-called aunt can bear it, and the uncle can't bear it! The emperor quickly ordered him to be arrested and tortured to relieve the hatred in his heart."
"Oh, Xiaobao, since you are so active, then I will give you a holy decree, and you will go to Shengjing to arrest him." Kangxi glanced at him with a smile.
Wei Xiaobao smiled wryly: "If the slave has that ability, why is the emperor so worried."
"I don't know what the emperor plans to do with the people of the Red Flower Society?" Song Qingshu heard a little sign, Kangxi had clearly known the mastermind behind it, at this time, the people of the Red Flower Club were like chicken ribs to him, the food was tasteless, and it was a pity to abandon it.
"I'm going to let them go." Kangxi said a word, and everyone was shocked.
Wei Xiaobao was overjoyed, but said, "Your Majesty, just let them go so cheaply?"
Song Qingshu also looked at Kangxi suspiciously, and he couldn't figure out what the other party was thinking for a while.
"Not bad!" Kangxi stood up, pacing back and forth in the room, slowly sorting out his thoughts, "Now that the Mongolian soldiers are strong, I still need the strength of Prince Bao, and now is not the time to move him."
"Isn't that just letting him bully you, but you can't fight back?" Wei Xiaobao asked with wide eyes.
"That's not it," Kangxi smiled, "Some time ago, I had already dealt with the Golden Snake King in the south, and now that I have no worries, I can start dealing with Prince Bao, but this will take time."
Song Qingshu suddenly realized: "No wonder the emperor wants to release the people of the Red Flower Society, I'm afraid he is worried that Prince Bao will jump off the wall in a hurry."
"That's right," Kangxi nodded approvingly, "Prince Bao must have been keeping an eye on the movement of the stable recently, worried that someone in the Red Flower Society would roll him over, and a string in his brain was tight, in case there were ill-intentioned people fanning the flames next to him at this time, and Prince Bao would directly raise troops, and I would be in danger in the Qing Dynasty."
"So the emperor simply didn't even interrogate, and directly released the people of the Red Flower Society, so that Prince Bao could take a reassuring pill?" Song Qingshu's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"But it's too cheap, that thief." Doron said indignantly.
"Really?" Kangxi showed a sly smile, "The people of the Red Flower Society entered the palace to assassinate, I not only let them go, but it was useless to punish them at all, when the people of the Red Flower Society sued Prince Bao, they didn't even interrogate, what do you think Prince Bao will think?"
"He must have thought the Red Flower Society had defected to our side." Wei Xiaobao said excitedly, "Under mutual suspicion, there will definitely be dog-eat-dog."
Kangxi smiled slightly, thinking in his heart, even if Hongli thought that the safflower would leak secrets, it didn't matter, anyway, his gesture of not pursuing it had already been made, and Hongli must have understood...... Of course, Kangxi didn't need to tell a few courtiers about these things on the government.
"I came to you just to ask you to find a way to secretly release the people of the Red Flower Society, after all, I still have to take into account the feelings of the ministers, and it is impossible to directly order these assassins to be spared." Kangxi swept his gaze over the three of them and said.
"I'll leave this matter to the minister." Song Qingshu volunteered.
"It's okay, Qingshu, you are strong in martial arts, and you are indeed the best candidate." Kangxi nodded and said, "Duolong, you secretly match. [,!] He, if necessary, you can sacrifice a few guards, and I don't want a fifth person to know about today's conversation in this room."
Song Qingshu and the three of them felt a chill in their hearts, and hurriedly said, "The ministers understand!"
After leaving the imperial study, Duolong quietly asked, "Brother Song, how do you want me to cooperate with you, just say."
"I'll go to the prison and see the assassins first." Song Qingshu thought about it for a while, and decided to contact the people of the Red Flower Society first, and then think about how to save them—oh no, let them out.
When he came to the prison, the guard introduced: "Lord Song, in order to prevent them from colluding in confessions, these assassins are all locked in separate compartments, I don't know which one will be interrogated first?"
"Let's go to Zhao Banshan first."
When Song Qingshu approached the room, he saw that Zhao Banshan had already taken off his shirt and was sweating on the ground.
"Dead fatty, you said that on this hot day, you didn't stay at home to enjoy the cool but came to the palace, why bother." Song Qingshu leaned against the door and looked at Zhao Banshan, who was like a meat ball in front of him, funny.
"Hmph!" Zhao Banshan didn't bother to pay attention to him, turned around, and continued to fan himself with his fat palm, the chains on his body tinkling.
"It's okay if you ignore me," Song Qingshu said with a smile, "You once had a favor to a friend of mine, for her sake, I will save you out."
"Who's your friend?" Zhao Banshan finally turned around curiously.
Song Qingshu smiled and said nothing, turned around and left, in the prison, it was not convenient for him to say the names of Hu Fei's mother and son, Zhao Banshan was kind to the two of them, he and Mrs. Hu walked all the way before, and listened to her talk in his spare time, how could Song Qingshu bear not to save her benefactor when he saw her?
When he arrived at Wen Tailai's room, Song Qingshu didn't have such a good temper, "Fourth Master Wen, how does it feel in the prison?"
"Dog officer, if Wen can get out, he will definitely kill you to vent his hatred." When Wen Tailai saw him come in, he was about to pounce, but he was helplessly caught in the chains on the gun.
Song Qingshu shook his head: "With your martial arts, I'm afraid it's a little difficult to kill me." Seeing Wen Tailai glaring at him, Song Qingshu didn't care, and said, "How about I make a deal with you?"
"Phew!" Wen Tailai said hatefully, "Wen doesn't make a deal with the Tartar dog official."
"If this deal is about the lives of your Red Flower Society, so what?" Song Qingshu looked at him confidently.
"What?" Wen Tailai turned his head to look at Song Qingshu.
"Song has always admired the character of several leaders of the Red Flower Society, and Song Mou couldn't help himself in the battle of Qianqing Palace, you pretended to be my subordinates, and you must know the powerful relationship," Seeing that Wen Tailai's face gradually calmed down, he continued: "After several masters were captured, Song couldn't sleep all night, so he decided to save a few masters out."
"What tricks are you playing?" Wen Tailai looked at him suspiciously, and he didn't believe it from the bottom of his heart.
"Of course, these are just some high-sounding empty words to deceive outsiders," Song Qingshu's expression suddenly became very evil, "That's why I want to make a deal with Fourth Master Wen in private."
"What deal?" Wen Tailai asked in a deep voice.
"I can save you and even a few of your brothers out, but I can't work in vain, recently Song has taken a fancy to one of Wen Siye's things. Song Qingshu showed a trace of regret as he spoke.
"Hmph, as long as you can save me a few brothers of the Red Flower Society, even if you take my head, Wen will not frown, and there is nothing else to be reluctant to." Wen Tailai said categorically.
"Then I'll say it directly," Song Qingshu's expression was a little weird, "In the battle of Qianqing Palace, Song Mou's demeanor of Mrs. Luo Bing was unforgettable at first sight, and since then I have been thinking about it day and night, I don't know if Fourth Master Wen is willing to part with love?"
"Shameless!" Wen Tailai was like an angry lion, and pounced on Song Qingshu, the iron chains on his body were stretched straight, and he still couldn't get close to the other party.
"Fourth Master Wen should think about it, whether he wants his wife or the lives of the rest of the brothers," Song Qingshu threw over a pen and a piece of paper, and said lightly, "If you figure it out, write it down in black and white, and transfer Luo Bing to Song...... But don't think about it for too long, the emperor has already decided to behead you tomorrow, and if there is no reply before tonight, Song will be powerless."
"Ah~" Wen Tailai's expression was painful, and he picked up the white paper in front of him and tore it to pieces.
"People are not beasts, young men." Hearing the roar coming from behind him, Song Qingshu closed the door with a calm expression and walked towards Yu Yutong's room.
