In front of the Qianqing Palace of the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Jiayan's 200 Beijing battalion soldiers have already set up the venue.

Wang Chengen took Li Ruolian and more than 100 brocade guards to maintain order around.

Then Ma Shiyao and the others and 456 thieves were taken prisoner to the open space in front of the palace.

Ma Shiyao and the others were taken to this place again, where dozens of brothers had been beheaded three days ago.

Are you going to send them on their way here today?

Ma Shiyao had made up his mind to die last time, and this time he felt that he was really going to execute them, but why wait three days?

And for these three days no one interrogated them, and they were not beaten or abused, and they were fed and drunk three times a day.

At this time, Chongzhen came out of the palace with dozens of guards such as Han Yin, Yang Wanli, Jinyi Wei Commander Wang Guoxing, and Qianhu Wang Wencai.

"Is the Faint King trying to kill us? Let's have a good time!" Ma Shiyao saw Chongzhen with an indifferent face.

"Yes, kill us quickly, and don't gossip about us here." There was the bold thief, who also shouted with Ma Shiyao.

"Want to die? I won't let you die!" Chongzhen sneered.

Ma Shiyao and the others were puzzled, and the prince led Li Yan and Du Xun to appear in their sight.

"Master Li?"

Ma Shiyao and the others were shocked, they were so similar to the situation three days ago.

However, it was Li Yan who rode alone, and this time Li Yan not only brought the eunuch Du Xun, but also brought 200 Dashun troops.

There were also countless cars, full of boxes.

What's this pulling? Ma Shiyao and others were puzzled.

"I've seen His Majesty the Ming Emperor." Li Yan said.

"Childe, don't come unharmed, welcome, welcome." Chongzhen's face is full of spring breeze.

"The miscellaneous family kowtows to the emperor." Du Xun knelt down for Chongzhen as he spoke.

This eunuch is used to being a slave, no matter if he sees Chongzhen and Li Zicheng, he wants to kowtow, and many people are not to blame.

"Oh, the princess, I want to kill you, hahaha......" Chongzhen looked at him and laughed, calling him his father-in-law instead of his companion, indicating that his identity had changed.

Chongzhen's expression was a little exaggerated, which made Du Xun look uncomfortable.

"The emperor still remembers the old slave, in fact, why doesn't the old slave miss the emperor? It's just that...... It's just that the old slave can't help it...... There is no way to serve the emperor anymore......" Du Xun catered on the surface, and squeezed out two sad tears.

Chongzhen looked at him with a smile, but Du Xun looked at this smile too unfamiliarly, how could this faint gentleman seem to be a different person?

The eyes are cold and frightening.

"Today is a happy day, why is my father-in-law crying? In a moment, my father-in-law and I will have to talk about business. If you come, let your father-in-law rest in the palace first."

Du Xun secretly said in his heart: Chongzhen was not like this in the past, why is he so enthusiastic when he sees the miscellaneous family today?

This renegade eunuch suddenly had no bottom in his heart.

After Chongzhen finished speaking, he gave Wang Chengen a look.

Wang Chengen understood, looked at Du Xun and smiled, "Duke Du, please come to the palace to drink tea, and the emperor will see you later to talk about Zen Rang."

"Ah, good, thank you, princess......"

Du Xun and Wang Chengen are old acquaintances.

But at this time, he looked at Wang Chengen's face, which was also strange and indescribable.

Especially his eyes, flashing with a compelling cold light, is this still the great prince of the past?

I heard that he has practiced peerless martial arts, and he should be really impressed by the three days of Shibei.

Thinking about it again, no wonder Chongzhen and Wang Chengen were so warm and polite to themselves, Chongzhen must have figured it out, an emperor of the end of the world, if he doesn't want to die, he can only obediently take off his robe and give way in order to save his life.

As for this Wang Chengen, he also wants to live.

Only by making peace with themselves can they realize their dreams.

Thinking of this, Du Xun's waist was also straightened, and there was still some fluttering in his heart.

"Kilometers, please."

Seeing that Du Xun was still hesitating, Jinyiwei commanded Wang Guoxing and Jinyiwei Qianhu Wang Wencai to come over, and Du Xun entered the Qianqing Palace.

As soon as they entered the main hall, the faces of the two high-ranking Jinyi guards changed.

"Don't move, gelding!"

"Dare to shout, let your old dog's head move immediately!"

The two embroidered spring knives, shining with cold light, pressed on Du Xun's neck.

"Ah...... This ......" Du Xun knew that a catastrophe was coming, and his thoughts just now were all wrong, and he was so frightened that he couldn't speak, and his body was paralyzed.

When he opened his mouth and couldn't speak, Wang Wencai had already stuffed the prepared rag into his mouth, and then lifted his hair and dragged him to the back of the hall like a dead dog......

Outside the main hall, Chongzhen asked Li Gongzi to sit down, calm down for a while, and ordered Wang Chengen to take Li Ruolian, Wang Shoulin and a group of brocade guards to open the box and inspect the goods.

Li Nian and Li Mu held swords in their hands and stood tightly behind Li Yan.

Now the money is not important to them, and the safety of the brother is more important than anything else.

The 200 people they brought with them unloaded all the boxes on the car, lined them up, and then all flashed to the side.

They began to count Ma Shiyao's people, 6 million taels of silver for 456 people, to see if they were enough, and to check if they were injured and how they were injured.

Don't get some half-dead cripples back then.

Here, Wang Chengen took Li Ruolian and more than 100 brocade guards, not only to open the box to see if it was silver, but also to count.

Each large wooden box was pried open.

It was full of snowflakes and silver, neatly arranged, shining silver in the sun.

Chongzhen and Prince Daming, and Gongzi Li Yan each took a group of people to sit here and star, looking at Wang Chengen, Li Ruolian, and they are here to settle accounts.

Watch the thieves count the number of people there.

The Ming army and the Dashun army carried out at the same time, counting people on one side and silver on the other.

Ma Shiyao and these people seem to understand that this is a transaction between the two parties, and it seems that they are saved.

No wonder the military advisor Li Yan risked death twice to enter the palace in order to save them and ransom them with silver.

Gratitude to Li Yan and Li Zicheng suddenly rose in his heart, but he was a little hot and a little reluctant to look at this large amount of silver.

There was a stick of incense, and the two sides were counting.

Ma Shiyao and other 456 thieves, many of them, were safe and sound.

6 million taels of silver, one tael is not bad, and all of them were handed over to Jinyiwei.

Chongzhen nodded, it seems that Li Yan and Li Zicheng are still trustworthy people, since this is the case, I will also give them a credit.

Pay the money with one hand, and hand over the person!

Wang Jiayan was ordered to hand over all 456 captives including Ma Shiyao to Li Yan.

"Your Majesty is true to his word, Li Yan admires. It's just a matter of Zen concession, and I don't know what Your Majesty is going to do." Li Yan was happy in his heart, but he still couldn't rest assured about the peace talks.

After all, he was the one who started it.

Seeing that Gonggong Du entered the hall and never came out again, he was vaguely worried in his heart, can Zen let it be negotiated?
