Zhu Houzhao saw Han Tai and the two of them with a happy face, smiled lightly, and then said, "Don't be too happy. Let you go to the guilt and make meritorious contributions, if things are done well, then naturally there is nothing to say; If things go wrong, you'll only end up worse. ”

This is not that Zhu Houzhao is scaring Han Tai and Zhou Yi, but that Zhu Houzhao is stating a fact.

Zhu Houzhao will really do this to Hankook. These two are already dead people, and in Zhu Houzhao's eyes, all they have is use value.

If they don't even have that value, then they can really die

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, rest assured, we will do our best." Han Tai hurriedly spoke.

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, and then said, "Then you guys can go." ”

After the two of them left, Zhu Hou looked at Zhang Xian on the other side and instructed: "You keep an eye on these two people, don't let them make any trouble." The most important thing now is to stabilize Zhejiang and Hangzhou, and this palace doesn't want to make a little mess. Do you understand? ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can rest assured, the minister understands." Zhang Xian opened his mouth and agreed: "The minister will retire first." ”

After Zhang Xian left, Zhu Houzhao stood upstairs, looked at the lake outside, and muttered, "Don't you show your head yet?" Or am I wrong? ”

Outside Zhu Houzhao's residence, Han Tai and Zhou Yi were both panting heavily.

Han Tai glanced at Zhou Yi and said with some annoyance, "Why didn't you tell me before you came that you planned to do this?" ”

Tilting his head and glancing at Han Tai, Zhou Yi said angrily: "If I tell you, will you still follow me?" ”

"There's no need to rush to deny it, I know what you think, so it's useless for you to deny it. At least in terms of results, it's the best for us right now. ”

"How do you know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won't really kill us?" When Han Tae heard this, he was still annoyed in his heart.

"I don't know, I'm just gambling." Zhou Yi said with a smile, seemingly relieved, before continuing: "But I bet right. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to make a big deal this time, so he doesn't want to mess up like this. In this way, he will not make a big deal in the officialdom of Zhejiang. This is our chance to live. ”

"But there is always a case, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really kills us, what will happen then?" Han Tae was still a little reluctant, but he could see that he was scared enough, and his face was covered in cold sweat.

"Can we live if we don't do this?" Zhou Yi sneered and said, "You don't know His Royal Highness the Prince's temper, he will spare us?" When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived in Nanjing, how old was he? How many people died in the Yangzhou case that time? How many people died in that saltworks case? Do you really not know or do you falsely know? ”

"If we carry it to the end, there will be only one way to die, and the whole family will be buried with us at that time."

Hearing Zhou Yi's words, Han Tai did not refute again, but said with some hesitation: "Why didn't you say anything about Mr.?" ”

"Why?" Zhou Yi asked with a smile.

"There are things that can be said and things that cannot be said. If we do, then we're dead, but don't worry too much, that gentleman doesn't have much to live. ”

"Aren't you afraid he'll give us up?" Hankook asked rhetorically with a dark face.

"What can he offer us?" Zhou Yi said with disdain on his face: "What we did was nothing more than embezzle some money, and we didn't do anything else." Now that this matter has passed here with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, nothing else matters. Even if we have doubts, we can't say it at this time. ”

Han Tai nodded, agreeing with Zhou Yi's statement, and said again: "Then what should we do now?" ”

"Send someone to keep an eye on that gentleman, and if there is any movement over there, we will report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as soon as possible. It's too late to talk about it then, and I think he can't help it. Zhou Yi opened his mouth and said,

"Then why not say it now?" Han Tai asked with some excitement: "Now that we have said it, we are also guilty of meritorious service." ”

"We don't have any evidence, and he doesn't have a deep friendship with us, it's just that he sent us money a few times, what can we say about him? Say he sent us money? Are you really stupid or fake stupid? Zhou Yi said with some hatred that iron is not steel.

didn't continue to deal with Han Tai, Zhou Yi said directly: Speaking of money, prepare the money when you go back. Take out as much as you have embezzled over the years, and take out an additional 20%, oh no, take out 50%. Let people send this money to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this matter must be done as soon as possible. ”

"If you don't have enough money, find someone to borrow it. If it's too late to sell the land and property, we will just hand over all the fields we bought. Zhou Yi said with a serious face.

Listening to Zhou Yi's words, a trace of pain flashed on Han Tai's face, but he still said with some hope: "Isn't it over now?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is no longer pursuing us, why bother to take out all the money, and take out so much. ”

"Is that money? That's a life-reeling imp! Do you really think we're safe? ”

"If we don't take the money out, after the matter is over, it will be sent to us to Hades. So don't hide it! ”

Zhou Yi said angrily: "At this time, you still take care of these?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not mention it, we must do it! ”

"By the time His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mentions it, it will be too late. I'll tell you the truth, if it weren't for the fear that you would implicate me, I would never have said this to you. If you don't do what I say, then don't blame me. ”

Han Tai looked at Zhou Yi with some fear, he also knew that the other party was not joking, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, all listen to you, I'll prepare as soon as I go back, and we'll come over together when the time comes." ”

Seeing that Han Tai agreed, Zhou Yi nodded, and then said, "Okay, let's go." ”

After the two left, someone soon sent the news to Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao just nodded, and didn't have much reaction.

These two people are just insignificant little people, although they are two big people in Zhejiang, but they are not taken to heart by Zhu Houzhao.

At the same time, in a large mansion in the city of Hangzhou, a man is sitting on a chair and leisurely fishing by the pond.

Next to him was a bamboo table with tea and snacks on it, and bait on the other side.

The man held the fishing rod in his hand, staring intently at the surface of the water in front of him, waiting to pull up the hook anytime and anywhere.

Not far away, an old man came over quietly and said softly, "Sir, the news has arrived." ”

The man didn't look up either, and continued to stare at the water, as if he didn't mean to speak.

The old man said, "The two of them have already come out of the prince's place, and there is no one from the prince's place. The gentleman guessed that he was not wrong, the prince did not kill the two of them, and in addition, they did not tell the prince about this matter. ”

The man nodded, stretched out his hand and pulled the fishing rod up, and then said, "Second Zhou, tell our people to pack up and leave." ”

Zhou Lao Er was a little puzzled, and asked with a slightly puzzled look: "They didn't tell the prince about us, so we don't have to leave, right?" ”

"Those two people can survive, they must have told the prince everything. At this time, they must be in a hurry to make meritorious contributions, and I am their best choice. Although what we have been doing in the past few years has been hidden, they have more or less noticed it.

"Now it's just that there is no evidence, and they don't dare to talk nonsense from the prince, but they will definitely send someone to keep an eye on us when they come out. So let our people pack up, we can't stay here anymore. After saying this, the man stood up, threw the rod into the pool, and then sprinkled all the bait into it, and turned and walked outside.

A group of people quickly walked out the back door, and each of them scattered and disappeared into the city of Hangzhou.

Although there were a lot of people with the angler, they were very quick to act, and soon they disappeared into different yards.

Although they were also seen on the road, those passers-by didn't pay much attention.

By the time he reached the other courtyard, the man had already changed into a set of clothes.

If he originally looked like a gentleman at home who was full of poetry and books, then at this time he looked like a businessman, with a mustache on his face, wearing a cotton shirt, and holding a feather duster in his hand.

The location where he is located is a cloth shop, and the plaque at the door reads Shunchang Cloth Shop.

The man was lying on the counter, looking bored.

Zhou Lao Er walked to his side and said, "Sir, the personnel have been arranged, everything has been done, there is no problem." ”

"Are they still arresting people everywhere?" The man asked

"Yes, sir. They are still arresting people everywhere, and many big families in the city have been arrested, basically involving the purchase of land. Especially those who participated in Tuntian, none of them ran away. Zhou Lao Er said with palpitations, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also too ruthless, making such a big move, I'm really not afraid of something." ”

"What could happen?" The gentleman said with a smile: "This is Hangzhou, Zhejiang Governor Zhang Xian is pressing on it, and the two wall grasses have also run to confess, what kind of mess can happen?" The prince still came with soldiers.

"No one dares to do anything, so Hangzhou can't be in chaos. It doesn't matter if Hangzhou is chaotic or not, Zhejiang is such a big place, after all, it can't be covered with one hand, you let our people speed up, it's best to do it tonight, and give our prince a meeting gift. ”

Zhou Lao Er said with some hesitation: "That place is really very well chosen, and there are also heavy guards around." It's impossible for our people to approach quietly. ”

"Even if it is approached quietly, there is no way to really kill it, and it is even a farce, and the loss of manpower for such a plain reason is really worth the loss. These people of ours are not in vain, and the loss is here, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain. ”

The gentleman smiled, and then said, "I didn't really want to kill the prince, no one can do it." The last time I missed in the capital, no one could do it. If the Taoist leaders have not succeeded, we will naturally not succeed either. ”

"Then why do you do it?" Zhou Lao Er asked with some hesitation.

"Because we let everyone know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was assassinated in Hangzhou. After this news spreads, it will inevitably cause an uproar, and the prince will also arrest people in the whole city, and people will inevitably be panicked at that time. ”

"Now the whole of Hangzhou is not chaotic enough, let alone the whole of Zhejiang. We're going to make this place a mess, and of course, if we can really kill the prince, then it will be interesting. His Majesty has only one son today, and this prince has no heirs, if he really dies here, the entire Jiangnan will be turned upside down. ”

When the gentleman said this, he smiled a little proudly, and then said, "Our Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very proud, so we want to give him a meeting gift." Such a proud person is probably going to take revenge. It's better to kill all the people you capture, and then it will be interesting. ”

Zhou Lao Er nodded, and then said: "Then I'll arrange a few more passers-by, let people make trouble in the city, set fires everywhere, try to attract attention, and then send people along the way to attack head-on, and finally I will arrange some people to sneak into the past from the lake." If you go straight in from behind, you might be able to succeed. ”

Mr. glanced at Zhou Laoer, and then said, "The way is good, but you can't go." I know you're going to die there if you go, and you can't die right now. ”

After listening to Mr. Zhou's words, Zhou Laoer's body was stunned, and he said expressionlessly: "Many people are recruited by me and trained by me, if I don't go, I'm afraid they will retreat." So I'm going to go along, and I'm going to have a better chance of success. ”

"You won't succeed if you go." The gentleman smiled and said, "Our prince is not a powerless prince. Even if you kill him, you can't kill him, so don't go and die. ”

Zhou Lao Er hesitated a little, and finally said helplessly: "Let me watch them go to death?" ”

"Their death is valuable," the gentleman interrupted him, and said, "If we do this, if the prince arrests and kills people throughout Zhejiang, then the whole of Zhejiang will be dissatisfied with him, or at least he will be greatly dispopular, which is beneficial to us." ”

"If the crown prince shows mercy, then we will be able to take advantage of the opportunity, and even be able to save some of the others, which is also beneficial. But I'd rather he did the earlier thing. ”

"I hope I'm not mistaken, our prince, it's too rigid and easy to break. I want to see how rigid our prince is. ”

Zhou Lao Er nodded, turned around and walked outside, and then said: "Although I want to listen to you, I still have to say that it is too ruthless to give up so many lives at once." ”

Looking at Zhou Laoer's back, Mr. didn't speak, just smiled self-deprecatingly, and muttered: "Human life is like grass mustard, if you can't make your own decisions, then it will always be grass mustard." ”
