Chapter 328 Don’t Play Anymore
Qin Sheng looked around and said, "Xie Zhan, you actually mobilized the southern defense to deal with me. That's really a big deal!"
Xie Zhan remained silent. Even a lion fighting a rabbit would use all its might. Furthermore, Qin Sheng's fighting power was so high. As long as there was a chance to eliminate the Qin or Lu families, he would try his best, no matter the cost.
"Qin Sheng, do you think you can get away this time?" Xie Zhan asked him, "Or rather, you can escape by yourself. What about Mr. Xue?"
Qin Sheng could tell that Xie Zhan was really trying his best to sow discord between him and Mr. Xue.
"Xie Zhan, now that you've made your move, don't you want to know why we still came here even though we knew you set up this Hongmen Banquet?" Qin Sheng asked him.
Xie Zhan looked at him quietly.
"You don't think we are forced to come here, do you? If you really think so, take a look at this before you order them to take action!" Qin Sheng took out a piece of paper from his arms. This piece of paper was the only item his wife put in the brocade bag.
Xie Zhan didn't want to watch. He just wanted to act on his own and do things his own way. He wanted to capture Qin Sheng, regardless of life or death, and use the fact that Qin Sheng left Liaodong County without permission to uproot the Qin family!
Then, he interrogated Xue Xu and obtained the food hidden by the Zhu family.
If possible, he would later bring down Ji on the grounds that he was harboring a criminal of the court.
The last move and success!
Let him finish this battle well.
But reason did not allow him to be so willful.
"If you don't read it, you will regret it." Qin Sheng's hand kept moving forward to hand him the paper.
"Xie Bai, go and bring the paper over." Xie Zhan ordered.
So Xie Bai stepped forward, took the paper from Qin Sheng's hand, and handed it to the head of the family.
Everyone could clearly see that after Xie Zhan took the paper from Xie Bai, he went from being nonchalant at first, to standing up straight, then to being extremely frightened, and finally to frowning and tensing his jaw muscles.
Xie Zhan held the page of letter in his hand for a long time without moving, but Qin Sheng and the others could see the veins on the back of his hand and he was gritting his teeth.
Ji Wuyin looked at it curiously, wondering in his heart, is he really angry?
Seeing Xie Zhan's calm and composed face gradually starting to crack, Qin Sheng was secretly happy. It was his due!
Seeing Xie Zhan being humiliated, Ji Wuyin felt very anxious. He couldn't help but stretch his neck to see what was written on the letter.
But he couldn't possibly see it. But he really wanted to know what was written there. Why did Xie Zhan's face become so gloomy after reading it?
Ji Wuyin nudged Xue Xu next to him quietly with his elbow and asked him in a low voice, "What on earth was written on that letter that could make Xie Zhan look so unhappy?"
Xue Xu: "Are you curious?"
Ji Wuyin replied, "Curious, aren't you curious?"
"I'm not very curious." Xue Xu had some guesses in his mind, but he didn't know if they were correct.
"Do you think Qin Sheng will tell me the answer if I invest 30,000 taels of silver in Liaodong County?"
Suddenly, Xue Xu's eyes changed when he looked at him, "You know how to use money. I'll tell you what I know. How about you invest 20,000 taels in Liaodong County?" Since the information was incomplete, Xue Xu lowered the price by 10,000 taels, thinking that this was already a preferential price.
"I don't want it!" Ji Wuyin refused arrogantly. If you want to listen to it, listen to the full version. Who wants to listen to the incomplete version?
Compared to the relaxed appearance of Qin Sheng, Xue Xu and Ji Wuyin, Xie Zhan was very cold.
Xie Bai also realized that the situation was not good, and he looked at their head of the family with concern.
Xie Zhan closed his eyes, then opened them suddenly. As if he had prepared himself mentally, he looked at the paper in his hand again.
There was only writing on the paper:
Xie Zhan, don't touch Qin Sheng.
Otherwise, we will all perish together.
I, Lu Songli, never tell lies.
Qin Sheng, as a criminal, went south without permission, defying the law. But your Xie clan, raising private soldiers, is a far greater crime.
The Southern Expedition Army: Xie Fang, Xie Wei, Xie Haoran, and Xie Yangui.
The last line seemed to be written to prove that what she said was true.
Xie Zhan thought about the first two sentences he had just read and sneered in his heart, disagreeing.
But when he saw the fifth sentence, his whole body tensed up. At that moment, Xie Zhan had only one thought in his mind: How did Lu Songli know this? Was she trying to trick him?
But when Xie Zhan continued to read, his hope suddenly dissipated. The words "too wise, almost demonic" appeared in his mind.
Xie Fang, Xie Wei, Xie Haoran and Xie Yangui are young generals who have emerged in recent years in the Southern Expedition Army, among whom Xie Wei is prominently listed.
Xie Zhan felt as if his internal organs were burning.
Xie Zhan guessed correctly, Lu Songli was indeed not lying to him.
Previously, Lu Songli found out that Xie Zhan used the identity of Chen's son-in-law to send out a group of elites from the clan, making them go from open to secret. She suspected that the Xie clan had a force hidden in the dark.
This hidden force is most likely placed by the Xie family in the military and business circles.
Combined with the ending in the original novel, Xie Zhan undermined the young emperor of the Qin family, controlled the government, and became regent.
Lu Songli suspected that the Xie family's hidden power would be placed in the army by the Xie family's head, because a pure family could not raise an ambitious heir like Xie Zhan.
Furthermore, power can make money and power can bring wealth. People with power are not short of money. It is a waste to hide power in the business world.
As the saying goes, power comes from the barrel of a gun.
It is stated in The Prince that force is the primary basis of political power.
The power of the Xie family needs military support.
The reason why Lu Songli guessed that this hidden force of the Xie family was hiding in the Southern Expedition Army was related to the fact that Xie Zhan chose Lingnan as the place of exile for the Xie family.
People have the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm. Under the premise that the Xie family suffered from the confiscation of property and exile, and felt extremely insecure, the place chosen by Xie Zhan must be the one that is most beneficial to them and where they can rely on.
What could make people feel more secure and secure than having armed forces in the local area?
She also asked the Qin brothers about the situation of the Northern Border Army, and it was almost ruled out that the Xie family's forces were hidden in the Northern Border Army. Pingzhou was too dangerous, so it could also be ruled out.
After locking onto the Southern Expedition Army, her eyes fell on the most outstanding generals of the Southern Expedition Army, whose surname was Xie.
Because Lu Songli had always known that the Xie clan members were very proud of their surname. She bet that, given the pride of the Xie clan's successive heads, they would not deliberately change their surnames, even if they were a hidden force.
Once these pieces of information are combined and filtered, won’t they come out?
But she is not sure yet, which one of the four, Xie Fang, Xie Wei, Xie Haoran, and Xie Yangui, is the member of the Xie family she is looking for?
But it didn't matter. Lv Mingzhi had a close relationship with Sun Congyi of the Sun family. She had already asked Lv Mingzhi to write a letter to Sun Congyi of the Sun family. She believed that the Sun family would not be stingy with their advice.
The Sun family has been in the army for generations, guarding the southern border, so they should be familiar with the generals in the army.
Lu Songli knew very well that the most dangerous thing about Qin Sheng's trip to the South was meeting Xie Zhan.
She predicted that after Xie Zhan made meritorious contributions in the South, the Xie family would be restored to their status as good citizens. This was an inevitable result.
The purpose of Lu Songli writing this letter is to warn Xie Zhan not to think that just because your Xie family has a legitimate identity now, you can beat Qin Sheng up when you see him.
At present, both sides are half in the water, one with the head above the water and the other with the body above the water. Don't think that you are living in the sun.
If you want to touch Qin Sheng, then fine, let's all flip the table over and stop playing.
Smart people cherish their lives, and Lu Songli believes that Xie Zhan will definitely make a good choice.
Xie Zhan took a deep breath and then looked at Qin Sheng steadily, "Qin Sheng, you're fine." The corners of his eyes were red, and he was obviously very angry.
Qin Sheng puffed out his chest. Of course he was fine.
"I received the gift that Lu Songli gave me." Xie Zhan said seriously.
Xie Zhan understood Lu Songli's warning.
The nature of the hidden force deployed by the Xie family in the army is similar to that of raising private soldiers.
If the emperor is informed of this, he will be accused of treason and ulterior motives. It will not be a matter of exiling the entire clan, but of exterminating several clans.
The purpose of her letter was to tell him that either they all lived together, or they all reported the matter to the emperor and died together, walking together on the road to the underworld, which would also be lively.
"Do you like it?" Qin Sheng asked seriously.
Killing people and destroying their hearts!
Seeing Xie Zhan's expression change, Ji Wuyin looked at Qin Liuye with admiration. "What a venomous mouth! He's trying to offend someone to death!" Fortunately, Xie Zhan didn't have a heart disease. If he did, he would have been so angry that he would have vomited blood.
Cough cough! Cough cough! Xue Xu coughed desperately, reminding Qin Sheng that it was almost done.
"I like it!" Xie Zhan gritted his teeth.
Later, when Xue Xu learned the truth, he couldn't help but sigh that Xie Zhan and Lu Songli, the former engaged couple, were really fierce when they fought.
You hold my lifeline, and I also hold your fatal weakness.
The two of them really wanted to kill him, and they showed no mercy at all.
At this time, after receiving Xie Zhan's answer, Qin Sheng asked arrogantly, "So now you know what to do?"
Xie Zhan said word by word, "Let them go!"
Xie Bai was stunned, then shouted, "Master!"
What happened? What was written on that piece of paper? It actually caused such a drastic change in the patriarch's attitude!
If they let them go, all their efforts will be in vain!
"I say, let them go!" Xie Zhan's attitude was tougher than ever.
Even though Xie Bai was unwilling, he had no choice but to obey orders.
Qin Sheng: "Who said we're leaving? Do you know what it means to invite a god in but it's hard to send him away?"
Xie Zhan frowned, "What do you think?"
