Chapter 271 Change
Chapter 271 Change
Chang Hongquan thought about the conditions that Ye Tao would not refuse and issued a list, and asked Chang Huaiyin to hand it over to Dai Qiuyan at a party, and then Dai Qiuyan handed it to Ye Tao. Ye Tao looked at the list and shrugged and replied through Sun Jin. The back and forth did not attract the attention of anyone around who paid attention to the various actions of Chang Hongquan and Ye Tao. In this "formal" meeting, the two fought for each other and refused to give in. Ye Tao accused Chang Hongquan of leaking the news, trying to kill him, and even blamed Chang Hongquan for the attack on Qihai Trading Company; and Chang Hongquan was naturally not
Chang cooperated with Ye Tao, accusing Ye Tao of showing off his power in Yuhang, and not taking the diplomatic relations between the two countries seriously. He even exposed the incident of Ye Tao's heavy money to repay Huo Dong and Zhao Yan and his subordinates after arriving in Yuhang... Seeing the atmosphere so intense and awkward, the eunuch from Chunnan Palace was so embarrassed, and he persuaded him from both sides. Although Ye Tao and Chang Hongquan both left with anger in the end and no clear agreement was reached, the eunuch felt relieved: at least Ye Tao and Chang Hongquan did not collude with anything.
Until the two left, Sun Jin and Feng Zi, who remained, apologized to smooth things over, and pulled the eunuch with a dry mouth to a nearby restaurant, and privately reached a memorandum of understanding that everyone could live up to their face but was not very feasible in fact.
The performances of Ye Tao and Chang Hongquan were really too real. When the eunuch returned the Lord of Chunnan, his tone was very light. For things like Zanglong Chain, let alone conflicts, it was normal for brothers to turn against each other even if the court in the entire country was shaken and the factional strife was caused, and the Lord of Chunnan believed it. And the eunuchs learned that they heard the two quarrels. Even if they broke the Chen family, the Can Long Chain, they could produce those things, not necessarily. Whether it was treasures or those key documents, they were now in Xiling. Moreover, they must be in the heavily guarded central area of Xiling.
The performances of Ye Tao and Chang Hongquan once again made Liu Yong secretly cheer. Through this incident, he understood that Tan Xiaopei's evaluation of Ye Tao was very accurate. Tan Xiaopei had told him at the beginning. Ye Tao prefers simple and clear methods, but it is not that he does not like power or even power itself. However, it does not mean that he does not understand power and cannot use power well. No one with great power can be too gentlemanly. Although Ye Tao is very upright, he may not really be morally resistant to those methods, but there is nothing he needs to touch those who set the moral standards himself. Now, Ye Tao not only plays tricks, but also plays very well. That way, it can be compared with a cunning guy like Chang Hongquan.
Liu Yong never rejects these methods, and will never be vigilant or otherwise negative because of these methods and thoughts shown by Ye Tao. He and his junior brother have been working for the talk of the family for decades. They know very well that for people like Ye Tao, understanding power struggle is not only a skill, but also a necessity. Ye Tao can play a gentleman, but others will not hide their own tricks when dealing with him. They will only be more unscrupulous. Because they will forget that Ye Tao can take revenge.
Liu Yong also had a concern. Indeed, Ye Tao is now in a high position and is in a very strong position. But that can only offset many conspiracies and tricks that are not enough in the land level, and is not completely immune to them. The reason why conspiracies and tricks are so fascinating and make people unable to help but imagine, outline, and execute them is that conspiracies can defeat the strong with the weak. They can turn the impossible into possibility in one fell swoop. No one can say that similar things will not happen to Ye Tao. Ye Tao's enemies cannot be said to be endless, but there are many. In and outside the court, and now, they must be
Of course, I hate Ye Tao's concubine Chang Ling even more. Chang Ling is just a poor princess now, but the situation has improved significantly in the past two years. Queen Zhuo Xiu is in poor health and lacks energy. Even if Tan Xiaopei is not a foolish king, she will inevitably "visit" Jinguyuan often. Moreover, although Tan Xiaopei has two good sons and two good daughters, she is also obsessed with having a child's feeling of being happy at the age of an old child. That is the opportunity for the current little prince Tan Weizai, and the opportunity for the Lianfei Chang Ling. Perhaps these problems will not break out over the years, but what ten years later? What twenty years later?
Liu Yongdi's loyalty to the Dongping royal family is self-evident, but he is not so polite to those who may affect the internal unity of the royal family. Liu Yong knew that his experience and ability in this regard should be able to make up for the loss of Ye Tao, Tan Weixin, and the entire Dongping royal family. The simplest thing is not to let some people think that Ye Tao's threat is just a talk.
Not long after Ye Tao returned to his place of residence, Liu Yong left. He and Zhou Rui quietly came to an outside of an industry in the Xia family. Xia family is good at popular entertainment industry. There are six casinos in Yuhang alone. This Hongyunfang is the largest one. In fact, Hongyunfang is far more than a casino, but a mixture of casinos, inns, brothels, and hotels. Basically, as long as you can imagine, it can be provided here, and there is even a bathhouse here. The luxury of this bathhouse is far greater than the big waves of Danyang. Although the maritime trade in Chunnan has shrunk in recent years, it is only in terms of market dominance. All the things from foreign countries and foreign lands are all beige rocks from the Middle East, and the price alone is shocking.
Liu Yong and Zhou Rui came here not to go to some places inside, but to kill someone. Not only did they have to kill, but they also had to be skilled. That person was the treasurer of the Yuhang Port Supervision Bureau. This person who was hiding from the Xia family has a close relationship with the Black Eagle Gang. Every time the Black Eagle Gang wants to sell stolen goods in Yuhang, he will pass through him. This small official is very comfortable. At least, not everyone can live a life of going to Hongyunfang to take a bath, then gamble, and then take a bath.
This old customer of Hongyunfang should be feeling comfortable all over by the hot steam and making a gentle hum. The bathhouse in Hongyunfang has not officially started business at this time, but the old customers who have been here always have to give some preferential treatment, so they opened a small private room for him. In the bathhouse, the number of servants who were doing preparations was much more than that of the customers. It would be difficult to sneak in without knowing it. However, for Zhou Rui, this was just an increase in trouble. He said unceremoniously: "Why use a knives to kill chickens?" and rushed in first, approaching the private room, leaving Liu Yong at the corner of the street to wait. Liu Yong didn't care, with a faint smile on his face. Later, he sat down next to a wonton load next to him and got something to eat.
Zhou Rui's hands and feet were really fast, and he came out again in a short while. He naturally sat down next to Liu Yong and asked the boss to give him one.
"It's over?" Liu Yong asked quietly while eating the delicious wontons.
"There is not a person inside, there is another guy. It seems that he is here to connect with this guy. I slaughtered it together. There is a box with a lock next to them, and I took it out together." Zhou Rui said with a smile, then lifted the collar of the clothes, revealing the foot of the pear blossom box.
Liu Yong smiled. He didn't expect that Zhou Rui had this ability. He closed his belly and grabbed the big box in his belt. He acted as usual with his empty hands, which did not seem to affect his actions. "Okay, let's wait. Let's go when we find it inside."
"Yes." Zhou Rui replied with his head down.
Sure enough, not long after, after a scream, the entire bathing area began to fall into chaos and panic. Soon after, the entire Hongyunfang began to get a little messed up until a few senior managers from Hongyunfang came out to calm the scene. However, the news of someone dying in the bathing area still spread from Hongyunfang to the street outside.
You know, this is the effect Zhou Rui wanted. He took a lot of effort. He bleeded the two of them, making the whole private room full of blood and blood. He also hung them on the wall very close to the steam stove. I believe that in addition to the blood all over the ground, the entire bathhouse should be able to smell the aroma of barbecue now...
Liu Yong and Zhou Rui were mixed in the crowd, showing appropriate curiosity and fear on their faces, which was no different from those Yuhang people watching. But their attention was all focused on the front and back doors of Hongyunfang. An entertainment center with a casino as the core is better, and they are neither allowed to be allowed to be allowed to be allowed to be allowed to be allowed to be allowed to be allowed to be allowed to be allowed to be allowed to be allowed to be allowed to be allowed to be allowed to be allowed to be allowed to be allowed to be allowed to be allowed to be allowed to be allowed to be allowed to be allowed to be allowed to be allowed to be allowed to be allowed to be allowed to be allowed to be allowed to be allowed to be allowed to be allowed to be allowed to be allowed to be allowed to be allowed to be allowed to be noticed. But now, apart from the matter, the situation is even more so when we start a little bit of investigation.
Some of those with some identities in Hongyunfang were quickly sent out and hurriedly stuffed themselves into the carriage and left the place of failure. It doesn't matter whether these people are suspicious. Even if they really did it, there probably won't be many people who dare to investigate.
And just in the crowd, Liu Yong saw a very familiar face that he had not seen for a long time. The brilliance and restrained eyes made Liu Yong's heart tremble.
