Chapter 203: Fake Death and Get Out
Zizhuxiu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her eyes narrowed slightly.
She could actually guess who it was.
At this time, Xiao Chen suddenly smiled, and there was a bit of deep meaning in his tone: "Zizhu, you did a good job this time, Lin Yi and the others really shouldn't go over to hunt them down!" ”
Xiao Chen didn't know what the situation was like at that time.
The men secretly came and put the drug, and thinking they didn't know about it, scuttled the ship......
If you rashly sent someone to chase after you at that time, to be honest, it was not very good.
After all, if you pretend that the ship is sinking on your side, you can paralyze them...... Maybe you can even fight against the mastermind behind the scenes!
Thinking of making the Zhou family unhappy, Xiao Chen felt very happy in his heart.
Zizhu smiled and said, "Lord Xiao, don't underestimate people too much, even if I am just a palace maid, I am also a person in the palace...... If I had been stupid, I would have died a long time ago! ”
When Xiao Chen heard this, his eyes flashed.
He always felt that Zizhu had a sense of mystery in his body...... It doesn't seem like an ordinary palace maid.
Xiao Chen nodded and went out with Zizhu again.
Concubine Shu and the others had nervousness in their eyes, looking at Xiao Chen and Zizhu and stopping at what they wanted to say.
Xiao Chen thought about it for a while, but he didn't hide anything, but told them what happened.
Of course, Xiao Chen didn't say to the sixth princess that Lin Yi and the others were stopped by Zizhu, but they just said it simply, they didn't catch up with people.
Zizhu's eyes flickered, and he quietly turned his gaze to Xiao Chen.
Concubine Shu still had a bit of depression in her eyes: "But now, the ship has sunk, I'm afraid there will be some problems." ”
In the eyes of Concubine Shu, Xiao Chen's biggest gain from the major families in Jiangjiangdong this time is this wealth.
And if Xiao Chen can hand over this wealth to the treasury, he will inevitably get the emperor's blue eyes, but at that time, he will be more like a fish in water.
And now, the ship is sunk...... The river is turbulent, and salvage is also a very troublesome matter.
If the emperor blames, it will be really troublesome
The sixth princess looked at Xiao Chen again, and her tone was a little unnatural: "Xiao Chenzi, tell me, what should we do?" ”
The sixth princess was naturally depressed in her heart.
It was she who was the first to mention it and let everyone go ashore to play...... As a result, in Xiao Chen's absence, those killers took the opportunity to attack the fleet, causing the goods of the entire fleet to fall into the river.
If the sixth princess feels like nothing in her heart, this matter actually has her own responsibility.
Even Xiang Yichun and Ji Hongluan were full of worries.
But Xiao Chen was not in a hurry, and even had a lightness in it: "What is this, you don't have to worry about anything...... Ben Du has a spectrum in his heart. ”
This time by water, Xiao Chen was actually naturally prepared, and the damage caused by the shipwreck this time was not as big as expected, and it could even be regarded as minimal.
If you go by water, it will definitely be risky...... If Xiao Chen was not prepared, how could he dare to go on the road with peace of mind?
Concubine Shu bit her lip and didn't say anything.
Seeing Xiao Chen so calm, the sixth princess breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and asked again, "So, what should we do?" ”
"Didn't Zizhu say before that those people let out smoke and scuttled through the ship...... And we didn't show up just now, and they are bound to think that we have sunk into the river with the ship, so why not just plan and fool them, and wait until we return to the capital to surprise the mastermind behind the scenes! ”
Xiao Chen had a joke in his eyes: "So as for us now, go directly by land and go back to the capital from the mountains over there!" This will take some time, but it won't be noticed. ”
Hearing this, the sixth princess also breathed a sigh of relief, and laughed again: "That's good, I can play for a while." ”
Concubine Shu and the others also did not have any opinions.
Several men hired another carriage and immediately hit the road.
The next day, the capital.
The news of the sinking of Xiao Chen's fleet near Linzhou City on the Li River also reached the palace.
Chen Jin passed the matter to Chu Yanwu as soon as possible.
Chu Yanwu's brows furrowed, and he even confirmed again: "Big Companion, didn't you say anything wrong?" ”
Chen Jin's tone was quite respectful: "The slave is true!" ”
Chu Yanwu had no choice but to shake his head, with a bit of regret in his tone: "If it is really as you said, Xiao Chen's fleet was attacked, and he sank into the river with his boat, it would also be a very regrettable thing. ”
"After all, the major families in Jiangdong have accumulated ...... for hundreds of years That's not a small number! ”
It can even be said that Chu Yanwu is very concerned this time, and Xiao Chen is precisely because he copied the homes of the major families in Jiangdong...... Any king wants his library to be more substantial, and he doesn't want those wealthy families to be arrogant.
Xiao Chen's move to raid the family not only hit the family, but also enriched the treasury.
But now, not only is his belongings gone, but Xiao Chen has also died.
Chu Yanwu felt a loss no matter how he thought about it.
Chen Jin's eyes flickered, and he said, "Even if those belongings sink into the river, we won't have no way to get them...... Your Majesty, you can directly order that our side will salvage Xiao Chen's body, and at the same time, you can take this opportunity to obtain property. ”
When Chu Yanwu heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly.
The idea is actually quite appropriate.
Chen Jin agitated a few more words: "Your Majesty, your salvage of the corpse here can show your benevolence, and no one can blame you...... And that wealth is indeed not a small number, even if it is just a few gold, silver and pearls, it can fill the treasury, and on the other side of the border, it will be easier! ”
Chu Yanwu thought for a moment, and then said, "That's indeed what you say. ”
Chu Yanwu immediately ordered: "Big companion, quickly notify the nearby defenders to protect the river section of the sunken ship...... There are no people to do with it, there are those who dare to trespass, and there is no forgiveness for killing! ”
"Then you organize henchmen to go to the salvage!"
"Those gold and silver treasures must be retrieved in full, if there is one copper missing, I am the only one who asks!"
Chu Yanwu's tone already carried a coldness.
Chen Jin naturally didn't dare to say anything, and quickly said, "Yes, Your Majesty!" The slave and maid will send someone to do it! ”
When Chen Jin gradually moved away, a trace of complexity flashed in Chu Yanwu's eyes.
He stared at the splendid palace furnishings, but his eyes were a little empty: "Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen, you knife, I haven't used it well...... It's a pity! ”
But it's a pity, Chu Yanwu has a little more relief in his heart.
Xiao Chen is easy to use, but he is also extremely sharp...... If you're not careful, you'll hurt yourself!
His death was not just a bad thing!
