Chapter 344: Enter the palace again
So, this group of merchants from the Qi Kingdom took Zu Yuan's mercy and gave them a little travel fee, and left Jinling City with a sad and angry face!
Of course, they had already gone to the government of Jinling City to complain to the General Trading House for being so arrogant and unreasonable to vent their grievances on them, the innocent merchants of Qi State, and also seized all their goods and property, and they couldn't even take away their clothes!
But now it is the war between Chen and Qi, and Chen Guo has conducted an inventory of foreigners in Jinling City before, so the current Chen State, from the officials of the imperial court to the ordinary people of Li, have no good impression of the people of Qi!
And although Xiao Yao acted arrogantly and domineeringly, and the people of Jinling were very gossipy about his affairs, after all, Xiao Yao made great achievements on the battlefield of Huainan and helped Chen Guo successfully recover Huainan, which also made Xiao Yao a national hero in the hearts of the people of Chen Guo, and even felt unfair that he was dismissed and removed by Chen Xu, so now when I heard that Xiao Yao was assassinated by the people of Qi outside Jinling City today, the people of Jinling City felt extremely angry and dared to assassinate Chen Guo's combat heroes on the boundary of Chen Guo's capital. This clearly looks down on our Chen Guoren!
So almost everyone in Jinling City, even Jingzhao Mansion Yin, who was in the prince's camp, chose to stand on Xiao Yao's side out of patriotic feelings and hints from the palace, so they ignored all kinds of injustices that these Qi merchants sued the General Trading House against them, and even ordered them to get out of Jinling City immediately, otherwise they would be punished according to the enemy country's spies!
Just when the people of Jinling were cheering and cheering for Xiao Yao for driving away these Qi merchants, and Xiao Yao was standing at the door of the general casino, waving to the crowd in high spirits, a man who came out of the palace and wore a robe mysteriously entered the general casino through the side door. Xiao Yao, who was informed by his subordinates, also immediately turned around and entered the casino, and came to the side hall to meet the comer, because this person was the father-in-law sent by Chen Xu!
"Xiao Gongzi is worthy of being a young and promising young general of our Great Chen Kingdom, although he is now far away from the battlefield and has returned to Jinling to recuperate, he is still full of murderous energy, and today he will put these hundreds of Qi State killers to death without hesitation, with the prestige of our Great Chen Kingdom, it is really happy, even His Majesty laughed and said that it was extremely happy!" Gonggong Gao smiled flatteringly, and while patting Xiao Yao's ass, he also revealed Emperor Chen Xu's attitude towards what happened today to Xiao Yao.
"Shiro just killed a few little thieves who wanted to ambush and assassinate me, and he actually alarmed His Majesty, and let Gonggong Gao rush here from the palace in such a hurry, it really made Shiro feel very upset, and Shiro must make amends to Gonggong Gao later!" Xiao Yao also said modestly.
"Shiro is really polite, but His Majesty specially let our family come out, just to bring Shiro into the palace to face the saint immediately, but due to Shiro's civilian status now, and today's incident Shiro has already made a bigger fuss, so in order not to cause a bigger controversy, His Majesty let our family bring Shiro into the palace in a low-key manner!" Father-in-law Gao also knew that Xiao Yao, who knew the most about human feelings, would not treat him badly, so he said with a smile.
"Shiro understands! Since His Majesty wants to see Shiro, then Father-in-law Lao Gao will lead the way! Xiao Yao also pretended to be frightened and said respectfully. Pi Phi Reading.com
Because although he knew that he had killed so many Qi State killers today, and he had also driven all the Qi State merchants out of the general casino, he would definitely attract Chen Xu's attention, but Xiao Yao didn't expect Chen Xu to be so anxious, and he was going to summon him into the palace now, which showed that Chen Xu was in no hurry in his heart!
Father-in-law Gao took Xiao Yao all the way to Chen Xu's imperial study, only to see that Chen Xu was already waiting there, looking at Xiao Yao with a wicked smile.
"Grass people Xiao Yao knocks to see Your Majesty! I don't know why His Majesty summoned Shiro into the palace in such a hurry? Of course, Xiao Yao had to pretend to be confused in front of Chen Xu, and said with a puzzled face, and the word grass people also used a very heavy tone.
"Grass people? Hum! Xiao Yao, a grass farmer, is still pretending to be confused in front of me, saying that he doesn't know why? You killed so many people today, don't you want to explain it to me? Chen Xu pretended to be angry and said.
"Hehe, in fact, this matter is also very simple, that is, Du Youxin of the Du family of Qi State wants to assassinate me, but he forgot that Jinling City is the capital of our Da Chen, and it is not their turn for the Qi people to do anything here, and he lives in the general casino but it is my territory, so his conspiracy has already been discovered by me in advance, so today while he ambushed me, I also ambushed him, and as a result, the group of killers he organized were all killed by the guards of our general firm!" Xiao Yao deliberately used the words Qi Guo and Chen Guo as well, so that Chen Xu nodded again and again, full of joy.
"Is it really that simple? But I've heard that there are more than a hundred of these killers, and they also used the firearms that were taken from you, so don't you see any clues in such a well-prepared assassination operation? Chen Xu said a little dissatisfied, although Xiao Yao's words made Chen Xu very comfortable to listen to, but this content made Chen Xu not very satisfied.
"And I heard that your general trading firm also vented its anger on other innocent Qi merchants, not only seized their goods, but also didn't even return their clothes and luggage, just gave them a little travel money and drove them out of Jinling City, which seems to damage the reputation of your general trading house and the face of our Chen State!" Chen Xu said with some disdain, after all, Xiao Yao's approach is indeed very shameless!
"It seems that Your Majesty already knows that although this assassination was planned by this Du Youxin, from the weapons they used, we can know that there is another person here, that is the Lanling King of Qi State, Gao Changgong! So in order to take revenge on this Du family and this Gao Changgong, Shiro deliberately vented his anger on these Qi merchants, and then he wanted to use these aggrieved Qi merchants to attack Gao Changgong and the Du family! Xiao Yao said with a sneer.
"Do you want them to help you deal with the Du family and Gao Changgong? No wonder you said that as long as the Du family hands over Du Youxin, you will return the goods to them, but these little businessmen should not have the ability to put pressure on the Du family, and Gao Changgong is the royal family of Qi State, so he should not be afraid of these businessmen? Chen Xu said in surprise, he didn't expect that Xiao Yao not only easily defused this assassination operation, killed almost a hundred Qi State killers, and even put them in the crowd, but now he has already begun to calculate the Du family and Gao Changgong, the two masterminds behind the scenes!
"They don't have the ability to deal with the Du family and Gao Changgong, but others do! Your Majesty can know that Gao Wei, the emperor of Qi State, is a narrow-minded, suspicious but unassertive person, as long as he has doubts about others, and is fanned by the villains around him, even if he is his own father-in-law, Hu Luguang, the pillar of the country of Qi, he can be killed without hesitation! And this Gao Wei has long been very dissatisfied with this Gao Changgong, so now as long as we drive these Qi businessmen back to Qi and let them tell Gao Wei that Gao Changgong has actually joined forces with the Du family on the rich side of Qi State, and this Du family is famous for not participating in the party struggle of Qi State! But now that the god of war in the army of the Qi country and the family of the rich and invincible country are walking together, I believe that after Gao Wei hears the news, he will definitely be even more suspicious of this Gao Changgong, and then at that time, Gao Changgong will not be far from the time of death! Xiao Yao said with a cold look in his eyes.
