C165 Suspected Objects

At this moment, the emissary was also in a difficult position. Even if he had to use slaughter to scare off these refugees who had never seen the world, he was still troubled by the question of how to grasp this situation.

If they managed to kill too many, they would arouse the anger of the refugees. Most likely, no one would be able to escape, but if they managed to kill less, they might not be able to scare off this bunch of bumpkins.

Right at the moment when the envoy was in a dilemma, Qian Jincheng ran over, but was held back by the black-robed guard at a five metres distance, the envoy sensed some movement behind him and turned to look at Qian Jincheng who was smiling while nodding and bowing to him.

"Let him in!" The messenger said.

"My lord, I have a good plan, I don't know whether I should say it or not!" Qian Jincheng ran over to the emissary's side and after bowing first, he spoke to the emissary.

"Oh? Master Qian has so much to say, hurry up and say it! " Hearing that this person had a solution, the envoy immediately became interested and asked in a hurry.

"Sir, if you are a merchant, then you will not be able to leave. After all, these refugees hate both Sir Wu and Sir Shang." Qian Jincheng smiled and said to the envoy.

"Then what do you think?" The envoy glanced at Qian Jincheng from the corner of his eyes and asked unhurriedly.

"Master, why don't you pretend to be the lord messenger, just say that you are secretly visiting, and brought back some silver from the imperial city, at that time, the lord can directly enter the Fengyang City, and then swagger out from the other city gates, this way you can leave without having to meet with weapons or things!" Why not? " Qian Jincheng whispered into the envoy's ears, causing the voice to be heard by only the envoy.

"Mm, that makes sense, but it's a bit risky. If people were to find out that my messenger was fake, then there would be a whole family of them. I'm afraid that's a bit inappropriate, no?" However, if the intelligence scouts from the imperial government were to discover that he was pretending to be a spy, not only would he himself be in big trouble, even his Royal Highness would probably be affected by the incident. This step would not be easy.

"Then the lord can only rush out. Hopefully, the lord will be able to scare off these thousands of refugees!" Qian Jincheng said helplessly.

"This ?" The envoy fell into silence. Based on the current situation, he was afraid that he might not be able to do as he pleased, even though the people below the hill were all ordinary refugees, their numbers were still there. The envoy fell into silence, but according to the current situation, he might not be able to do as he pleased. Besides, it was not difficult for them to rush out with so many boxes of silver taels. That was five hundred thousand silver taels, and it would take a lot of effort even to push them out of the encirclement. If they could bring this silver out, then it would be impossible for them to do so.

The more he thought about it, the more the envoy fell into a dilemma. The more he hated Wu Daode, the one who 'suggested' this idea.

The envoy looked at Wu Daode with extremely resentful eyes. He swore that after this matter was successfully completed, he would definitely give this Wu Daode a few words of advice in front of the Duke. Otherwise, he would feel very sorry for himself. But Wu Daode himself, on the other hand, did not notice that someone was looking at him. His attention was entirely on the refugees, and he was thinking more about how to safely return to the city. After all, no matter how much money he had, if he did not have to spend it, it would be a very tragic thing.

"My lord, we shall not let this matter get away with it!" If anything were to happen to the silver, I'm afraid that the Lord will not be able to answer to the Prince! " Qian Jincheng saw the envoy's flickering expression and knew that he had been swayed by his suggestion. However, there was still a trace of caution in his heart, making him unable to make this decision. All he could do now was to continue to 'push the tide' and make the wavering emissary make up his mind completely.

"Un, alright then. We can only do that!" The envoy thought about it, and in the end, nodded his head heavily, agreeing with Qian Jincheng's suggestion.

The instant the envoy from the Ninth Prince nodded, no one noticed that the corner of Qian Jincheng's mouth rose slightly. If one was familiar with him, they would know that some pitiful prey had successfully entered his trap.

"Men, quickly go and negotiate with those people below us. Tell them that we are the messenger sent by the imperial government to be responsible for this disaster relief!" The messenger called for his Guard Commander and instructed him.

"But my lord, what should we do if the other side doesn't believe it?" Guard Commander knew that he could not reveal Master's name in front of outsiders.

"Here, this is the medallion from the King's Manor. If you use it to pretend, these refugees who have never seen the world might not be able to recognize it. But remember, do not lose it for me." The envoy thought for a while, then took out an order badge from his bosom and handed it over to Guard Commander, and warned him repeatedly.

"Yes, my lord. Please be at ease!" Guard Commander took the order with both hands and turned to carry out the order.

The envoy watched as his subordinate took his token and went to negotiate with the victims, but he, who had always been meticulous, vaguely had a bad feeling about falling into a trap. This kind of sharp sensation was raised multiple times in the past, and he believed that this kind of feeling would not deceive him, but no matter how he thought about it, he could not find out what was wrong. Even if he had the ability, how would the other party know that he was doing business here at this time?

The envoy subconsciously glanced at Wu Daode and Qian Jincheng. He thought that at most five people would know about this transaction, and among them would be the Duke himself, Wu Daode, Qian Jincheng, himself and his own Guard Commander. Amongst the five of them, the only ones who could leak the information were Wu Daode and Wu Daode, and the location of the transaction had been temporarily changed, and the ones who knew that the transaction had been changed were probably only himself and the Marquis. There was also another person who was Wu Daode, and it was likely that even the Master called Qian Jincheng did not know of the change in location.

Then the Prince and he would definitely not leak out the information about the trade location and time, and that would mean there would only be one Wu Daode left, but the people did not understand, Wu Daode revealing his location to the group of refugees, only a fool would do that. Since there was no such possibility, who was the one who leaked the news? Was all this just a coincidence?

The envoy probably never would have thought that the proposal to sell the decimetine outside the city was actually made by Qian Jincheng, but Wu Daode felt that it was a very good idea, in order to show that he was' resourceful ', so he' stole 'this suggestion, and only said that it was his own idea. Furthermore, in order to prevent the Duke from discovering that Qian Jincheng was a talented person, Wu Daode did not mention anything about Qian Jincheng in his letter to the Duke, thus leading to the current situation.

If the Emissary knew that this suggestion came from this Master called Qian Jincheng, the first thing he would do was to chop him into pieces, in the hope that he could be chopped into mincemeat.

However, the envoy didn't know who was the culprit, so even if he had a bad feeling about it, he could only brace himself and proceed with the current script.

Just as the emissary was wondering who would betray him, he was interrupted by the sound of a quarrel.

"Humph, you want to prove that you are an imperial messenger with just a broken sign? How do you prove that you are here to provide relief? You were just together with that dog official Wu Daode just now, we don't believe you! " One of the refugees retorted.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are the officials in charge of the government, and this time we are here to send you the silver taels for the disaster relief mission. Sir Wu is, after all, your father and mother official, and he is also the guardian of a county, so of course we have some contacts with him." Ladies and gentlemen, we are the officials in charge of the government, and this time we are here to send the silver taels to you, and this time Sir Wu is, after all, your father and mother. The Guard Commander that the envoy had brought was quite eloquent, he could even speak freely in front of the crowd, and could be considered a genius.

The messenger nodded as he listened. The content of the words did not contain any sensitive content, but instead gave off a sense of reality, as if it was actually done for the common people.

This lord, we are all poor commoners, we don't know your rules, we only wish to have three meals to feed us, now it is a natural disaster, the heavens are making us unable to live, we originally thought that you officials could let us live through this most difficult time, but we did not expect to meet such a dog official, now there are people starving to death in the village, you do not know, my lord, our ancestors said, no matter how we die, we cannot starve to death, we must suffer in the Underworld after death. The victim who spoke just now continued.

"Yes, my lord, we adults should be hungry for a few meals, but we should at least let the children eat a full meal." Yes, my lord, we should be hungry for a few meals, but we should at least let the children eat a full meal. Another victim said to the Guard Commander in a tearful voice.

"Lord, please pity us, we just want to live!" Listening to the wailing of the refugees, who were out of breath, everyone felt as though they were their own bodies as they begged in unison.

It was like a stone that gave rise to a thousand ripples. As people complained, more and more people began to divulge what they had experienced and what they had suffered through. For a time, the scene became chaotic.

"My lord, we can't let this situation develop any further. If these victims lose control of their emotions, I'm afraid they won't be able to handle it!" Qian Jincheng came to the side of the envoy once again, and said with a face full of worry.

"Then from your point of view, how should it be resolved?" The envoy glanced at Qian Jincheng vigilantly as he asked.

"Milord, you have to know that you can't bear to have your child as a wolf. If you don't let them see your sincerity, how could these commoners believe it?" Qian Jincheng continued speaking without a care.

"You mean I have to prove to you that I'm here to help?" The envoy asked doubtfully.

"My lord, you have a pure heart, there's no need for me to say more!" Qian Jincheng didn't continue speaking. Talking to smart people was usually the best when it came down to it.

"You're an amazing person. You're much stronger than your Master Wu!" The envoy smiled and said in a provocative manner.

"No, no. My lord, please praise me too highly. I only hope that my lord can be promoted a little bit." Qian Jincheng said with a face full of respect, bowing respectfully.

"Haha, good. When we go back, I'll certainly speak a few words to the prince for you." Hearing Qian Jincheng's words, the emissary's vigilant heart relaxed.

A man who has no desire for selfishness, the more he does, the more suspicious he becomes, and a man who has a desire for selfishness, it is only right that he pursue his own interests. It was not human nature, but human nature.
