Chapter 360: Money Can Make Ghosts Grind
While Liu Qingshao was being used as bait by the emperor, he was also borrowing his power to find Xiao Hanyin's whereabouts.
They're just using each other.
Liu Qingshao cares about her husband, and the emperor cares more about how to get rid of his confidants for many years.
As long as King Cheng lived, his throne was not too secure.
The country he worked so hard to keep was to be left to the prince, and no one wanted to get involved......
After Liu Qingshao agreed, the emperor began to secretly arrange this matter.
The next day, the emperor directly announced that he had instructed Xiao Hanyin to go to Chenzhou to do business, and he was not in the imperial city during this time.
The emperor deliberately announced the news in front of all the ministers, just to see if there were any henchmen in the court who became kings.
In these years, King Cheng did not come back, and he also made excuses to send away the officials who had been loyal to King Cheng back then.
However, he was not sure if King Cheng had secretly bribed other ministers.
Many of these ministers in the DPRK and China seem to be upright, solemn and righteous on the surface, and they look like they have died after doing their best for the court.
In fact, they have not been less private in using their official positions to seek benefits.
After King Cheng returned, he was often in contact with the ministers of the court, and no one knew whether those people wavered.
Money can make ghosts grind, and there are many ministers in the court who have been bought by money......
The news spread quickly, and King Cheng naturally knew about it.
He quickly gathered several of his henchmen to discuss the matter together.
"Lord Wang, my subordinates think that the emperor said this on purpose, and Xiao Hanyin is not in the imperial city at all!"
"Since Liu Qingshao came back, he has been recuperating at home because he is sick, who knows if he is really sick or has not come back at all?"
"This time, the emperor is probably deliberately covering up Xiao Hanyin's whereabouts!"
"Xiao Hanyin has been working for the emperor and the crown prince, and now that something has happened to him, their father and son naturally want to defend him!"
“……”
After listening to what they said, the corners of Cheng's lips curled up and said, "This king thinks so too!" ”
After he came back from the suburbs, he suspected Xiao Hanyin.
However, his subordinates found out that they had come back together at the beginning.
Although King Cheng felt that this matter was quite strange, he did not act rashly.
If the couple really came back, then deliberately going to the test will only make things worse......
What's more, Xiao Hanyin and Liu Qingshao deliberately embarrassed him in front of the public in order to completely draw a line with him.
"Lord Wang, if your subordinates send someone to Chenzhou to investigate, you will be able to know the truth of the matter!" A man dressed in black said.
"No need, as long as Xiao Hanyin is not in the imperial city, this king has a way to make him disappear!" At this moment, he was basically sure that the person who broke into that house before was Xiao Hanyin.
However, he was completely unsure of how much he had heard.
In the past few days, he has been sending people to search for Xiao Hanyin's whereabouts in the back mountains, just to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so that he has no chance to return to the imperial city.
He didn't know that person was Xiao Hanyin before, so he acted very carefully.
However, now that he knows the identity of the other party, then he has no scruples.
Anyway, in the eyes of everyone, Xiao Hanyin has been sent by the emperor to Chenzhou on an errand, even if he can't come back, others won't blame him.
The emperor thought that he could shelter him in such a way, which was ridiculous.
He would never allow a person who knew his secret to continue to live......
King Cheng secretly sent a lot of people to find Xiao Hanyin, and he was sure that the other party was still in that forest.
At this time, Liu Qingshao also arranged for many people to find his whereabouts.
The words that the emperor said seemed to be defending Xiao Hanyin, and they also exposed his identity.
She was afraid that if she didn't find him first, they wouldn't have a chance to meet in the future.
King Cheng is ruthless, and this time he tried his best to find Xiao Hanyin, and his intention was already very obvious.
Liu Qingshao and King Cheng are both sending people to find him.
However, he seemed to have disappeared, and there was no trace of him.
Two days later, King Cheng was a little anxious, he was really worried that Xiao Hanyin would come back alive, and then tell the emperor everything he saw.
If Xiao Hanyin is alive, then his death will not be far away.
As a result, King Cheng sent additional manpower again and again, and even did not hesitate to use silver to find a killer organization, but he still found nothing.
"Lord Wang, will Xiao Hanyin have already escaped secretly?" Cheng Wang's henchman.
"Impossible, he and Liu Qingshao are so affectionate, if he really comes back, he will definitely go to see her non-stop!" He shook his head.
"Now, everyone thinks that he went to Chenzhou, if he appears at this time, it will definitely cause the emperor's displeasure!" The henchmen felt that Xiao Hanyin was likely to hide under Liu Qingshao's arrangement.
"Are you saying that Xiao Hanyin is already in the Imperial City, but he hasn't shown up?" King Cheng frowned.
"Lord Wang, our people have been searching in the back mountains for several days, but they haven't even found a corner of his clothes, he can't be so powerful that he can avoid every search!" Confidant.
"Liu Qingshao's people are still looking for him, if he is really fine, she is afraid that she will withdraw her subordinates long ago!" King Cheng firmly believed that Xiao Hanyin had not returned. E-book house
"Maybe this is a deliberate trick they arranged!" He didn't think they should have waited so passively.
They should be more prepared whenever and wherever they are.
King Cheng felt that his words were quite reasonable, no matter where Xiao Hanyin was, if they waited like this, something would happen sooner or later.
The emperor has never made a move, but he hid himself very deeply and was not caught by the other party.
If he had the proof, he would not be able to keep his throne, let alone sit in that supreme position.
So, after careful weighing, King Cheng planned to send someone to catch Liu Qingshao, if Xiao Hanyin was really safe and sound, in order to save his beloved wife, he would definitely show up.
Xiao Hanyin is a lover, for the sake of his wife, he can go out of anything, even his life.
I heard that before they got married, Xiao Hanyin even rebelled against the emperor for Liu Qingshao, if it wasn't for the prince to intercede for them, they would have been a pile of loess now......
However, they are in the imperial city, and there are some things that cannot be done blatantly.
Although Liu Qingshao is only a businesswoman, and her husband's position is not high, she is a person that the prince values very much.
She is not only an imperial businessman, but also has been providing enough money for the crown prince in private.
The royal family has gained a lot of benefits from her, and naturally wants to protect her.
This time, Xiao Hanyin was obviously missing, but the emperor deliberately lied to him, clearly to defend himself, and didn't want his important courtiers to lose their lives.
However, the people he wants to kill, even the current saints don't want to keep.
King Cheng secretly conspired with his subordinates, planning to use Xiao Hanyin's news to lure Liu Qingshao out, and then find a way to control her.
Once Liu Qingshao is in her hands, Xiao Hanyin will no longer want to continue to live to see the emperor, and no one who knows his secret can live!
The emperor soon received the news and learned that King Cheng was about to make a move.
However, in order not to let him notice, this is a plan they have set up with Liu Qingshao, otherwise it will fall short.
He waited for so long, King Cheng finally couldn't hold it back, and the emperor didn't want to miss this good opportunity.
So, he secretly ordered someone to tell Liu Qingshao the news.
Since he couldn't take action directly, this matter could only be guarded against.
The emperor believed that with Liu Qingshao's ingenuity, it was impossible to easily put himself in danger......
After Liu Qingshao learned about King Cheng's secret actions, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes.
Xiao Hanyin disappeared because of him, even if she didn't cooperate with the emperor, she still wanted to deal with King Cheng.
If it weren't for him, he and Xiao Hanyin would still be living their little lives in the imperial city.
After King Cheng appeared, he broke their tranquility, and Xiao Hanyin disappeared.
This time, whether the emperor succeeds or not, the king will inevitably suffer a heavy blow.
At present, the four seas are peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, but for his own ambitions, he has to set off storms, and he is a sinner in the court.
Although the emperor is suspicious, he will not arbitrarily dispose of the officials of the DPRK and China.
Compared with King Cheng, he is like a heaven and an earth, but some people can't see it clearly......
Liu Qingshao arranged manpower in advance to protect herself secretly, and at the same time, outside the mansion, she also increased guards.
She deliberately made a look of staying at home to confuse Cheng Wang.
The man was too careful to be fooled by waiting.
Sure enough, when King Cheng saw her being so cautious, he relaxed his vigilance.
After he secretly asked people to inquire about Liu Qingshao's whereabouts, he ordered someone to make trouble in her restaurant.
Liu Qingshao hasn't been going out recently, and he can't find a chance to attack her at all.
If she had been hiding in her home and not coming out, his plan would have no chance of succeeding.
When the people who became the king were looking for fault in Liu Qingshao Restaurant, the emperor quickly sent guards over and made an ambush on the road that Liu Qingshao had to pass.
At the moment, he didn't know where King Cheng would do it, so he could only send more people to protect her safety.
Liu Qingshao is Xiao Hanyin's treasure, if there is even the slightest damage, when he comes back, he is afraid that he will go crazy.
Xiao Hanyin is the most affectionate person he has ever seen, and he doesn't even care about fame, fortune and power, and he pounces on Liu Qingshao.
Once she dies for this matter, Xiao Hanyin comes back, I am afraid that she is likely to be desperate to avenge Liu Qingshao, and even do not hesitate to be an enemy of the imperial court.
This kind of thing, the emperor would never want to see it, and when he used Liu Qingshao as bait, he said that he would definitely keep her intact.
After Liu Qingshao learned that her restaurant had an accident, she immediately thought of Chengwang.
If she hadn't received the news, maybe she wouldn't have thought about it so much, but for now she didn't have to guess who was doing it at the restaurant.
However, for the sake of their plan, Liu Qingshao still pretended to be in a hurry and rushed to the restaurant with a few people.
Liu Qingshao thought that they would make a move on the way, but after she went to the restaurant to deal with the trouble that Wang deliberately created, those people still did not appear.
She felt a little strange, didn't the emperor say that King Cheng would do it today, but he didn't find anything.
Even so, Liu Qingshao was still very careful.
After all, she didn't know what the other party would use against her at the moment.
Although she knew very well in her heart that King Cheng was going to harm her, the other party did not move for a long time, which made her very uneasy.
Liu Qingshao returned to the mansion safely, and the doubts in her heart became bigger and bigger......
