C554 take advantage of deceit
Seeing Wu Daode's frightened face, and recalling what he had said just now, Qian Jincheng immediately understood. If the person who could make Wu Daode act in such a way, was not a distinguished official in the imperial city, but someone from the Capital Overwatch Council.
And at this time, the Fengyang City was already in a mess. It was likely that none of the distinguished officials in the capital would be willing to come here. There was only one result left, and that was the Capital Overwatch Council's spies.
"But why did these spies of the Surveillance Council suddenly choose to come here at this time? Would it affect the pavilion master's plans? "Seems like I have to inform Hall Master Chou on such an important matter in time." Qian Jincheng's thoughts raced. What he needed to consider more now was not the life of the stupid pig in front of him, but the gains and losses of the Listening Rain Pavilion.
"If the examiners from the academy are about to arrive, then I'm afraid there are some things that cannot be delayed any longer!" Qian Jincheng calculated once again.
Originally, Gongsun Zaitian had a set of plans for Wu Daode, and the person responsible for implementing the plans was this Master Qian Qian Jincheng. However, due to a series of unforeseen events, his original plan had been delayed time and time again.
However, at this point, they were afraid that they would have to make a killing. If the people from Surveillance Council came to Fengyang City early, with their eyes and monitoring abilities, it would be difficult for them to take advantage of this situation.
But this might also be a good opportunity for him. If no one forced Wu Daode to do so, many of his secrets and a large portion of his funds would be carefully handled by him.
Thinking about it here, Qian Jincheng's nervous eyes revealed traces of excitement and excitement. He knew that if he operated correctly, it would be a huge achievement.
Time was of the essence, Qian Jincheng was not in a hurry to inform Qiu Canghai, he could only inform him afterwards, at this time, he had to make use of this opportunity.
Therefore, Qian Jincheng instantly revealed a shocked and nervous expression, as though he was still worried for his master. He lowered his voice as much as possible and said to Wu Daode: "This time, the person who suddenly came to Capital Overwatch Council is ?."
The eggplant that Wu Daode had beaten up shrivelled up into a lump of meat. He replied with a worried look on his face: "What else can I do, I reckon it's something I can't fake my hands on others. And right now, what matter does Fengyang City have that doesn't require me to fake my hands on others? Isn't that about the matter with me? "
Qian Jincheng rolled his eyes, and probably talked about the Ninth King, but at the same time, he showed an even more worried expression, and said to Wu Daode: "Could it be that the matter regarding the trade between the Duke and the Old Master has been exposed? And this time, the person who came to monitor our courtyard is obviously here to investigate the old master, but is actually here to look for the Ninth Prince? "
However, Qian Jincheng's move was completely unnecessary, even if he did not intentionally bring the nine kings into this, Wu Daode had already thought that it was because of the nine kings that he had provoked the people from the Overwatch Institution in the imperial city.
Wu Daode replied helplessly: "That's what I'm most worried about! If that's really the case, then something big is going to happen! "
"This is really troublesome!" Qian Jincheng punched his other hand lightly with one hand, the expression on his face was filled with regret, as if he was regretting something.
"Grand Master, do you have a good plan to help me?" Wu Daode suddenly went crazy, he extended his hand and grabbed Qian Jincheng's arm and pleaded.
"Master, allow this lowly one to ask a very disrespectful question. What do you think about the matters of Ninth Prince?" Qian Jincheng muttered to himself for a moment, and then asked with a serious expression.
"Me? What can I think? I have no other choice, so why don't you come over and give me an idea? " Wu Daode released Qian Jincheng's hand and once again sat on the chair and sighed.
"What I mean is, Master, do you want to be a rich man and live a carefree life? Or be a pauper hiding in hiding, waiting to be caught one day, and be punished properly? " Qian Jincheng's words were very straightforward, almost without any concealment, he threw out two choices, but on this type of choice, as long as one was not an idiot, then there would only be one.
"What do you mean? Tell me the details! " Wu Daode's face suddenly changed, as though he was holding onto the last straw, his eyes stared straight at Qian Jincheng, and cautiously opened his mouth to ask.
"Master, this matter is not something that you can control. To be able to dispatch the supervisors of this courtyard, it must be something extraordinary. Furthermore, the things that they are about to do must not be so trivial! If it was only about your greed for money and money, would you think that you would work so hard? " Qian Jincheng said sincerely and sincerely.
"It shouldn't be! After all, the matter of Greed losing money has already been decided. Didn't the lord lose his official position because of this? " Wu Daode shook his head and replied.
"So according to my analysis, this matter is most likely related to your deal with the Nine Kings! Furthermore, if it is really because of this matter, the old master might not be able to live for long! " Qian Jincheng said confidently.
"If that's really the case, then what should I do!? Otherwise, if I were to give the Ninth King another sum of money, he would appear to protect me! " Wu Daode's expression immediately changed, and asked with a trembling voice.
"Old master, you must be silly!" Qian Jincheng said with a disappointed expression.
"What do you mean?"
You are just a pawn, Ninth Prince can simply push this matter aside. At that time, Old Master will definitely not argue, I'm afraid that at the end, the imperial court and the Ninth King will come together to punish you. "
"But the Ninth King already used my five hundred thousand silver taels?" "Is it possible that he can just kill a donkey just like that?"
"May I ask old master, where are these five hundred thousand silver taels going?" Qian Jincheng asked, even though he already knew the answer.
"This ?" From the looks of it, they should be heading towards the north! "
"All of them say that this five hundred thousand silver was not sent to the imperial capital, and the nine kings themselves also did not sign for it. Even if you say that the heavens were to be revealed, the nine kings would not admit that he received this money!"
"But his subordinates..."
"Those people, the Ninth King can definitely let them die outside. What's more, do you even have any proof that they are his people? On the other hand, the Ninth King can also accuse you of slandering the royal family.
"This ?" "Then what should I do?"
"It's a pity that there is no direct evidence. Otherwise, you could have saved the old master's life. Alas, it's a pity. Even if there were any letters, it would be good!" Qian Jincheng seemed to be unintentional, but in reality, he was intentionally guiding the letter as he spoke.
"Letter? That's right, I have a letter! " Wu Daode's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Old master, do you have a letter?" Qian Jincheng originally only wanted to probe a little. After all, the two parties definitely needed the existence of letters or other documents, if not, Wu Daode had never left the Fengyang City, and the nine kings had never left the imperial capital. But he never expected that Wu Daode would actually keep the letter. Seems like although he had pretended to look silly in front of him, he had long since held back.
"Yes, but ?" Wu Daode stuttered as if he wanted to say something.
"Old master, do you have any concerns?"
"These letters are no trivial matter. If I take them out, it will be much more serious than five hundred thousand silver taels. Not only will I be implicated, the nine kings will probably suffer as well. Wouldn't my five hundred thousand taels be a free gift? Not only did I not get any benefits from this, but I am also afraid that the Ninth King will join hands with the imperial government to kill me! "
"Master, since you can make a deal with the Ninth King, why can't you make a deal with the imperial government as well?" Qian Jincheng muttered to himself for a moment, and then, lowered his voice to persuade his.
"You said I used this evidence in exchange for my life?" Wu Daode asked in surprise, and then fell into deep thought.
"That's right. You might even be able to jump out of this political whirlpool, take your money and fly away!" Qian Jincheng continued to bewitch him.
"This ?" This is an extremely important matter, and I need to consider it! " Wu Daode did not immediately reply, he was still hesitant, and in the end he replied indifferently.
Seeing that Wu Daode was being cautious, Qian Jincheng knew that he could not rush this matter and could only think of a plan. He would look for Hall Master Qiu Canghai later to see what method he had to make this old fox decide to take out the evidence, only then would he be able to complete the mission.
Qian Jincheng saw that he could not do anything, so he changed the topic of the conversation and suggested: "Master, we can slowly consider this matter. After all, there is still some time until the Surveillance Council's people arrive, but has Master thought of leaving a path for himself?"
"What do you mean?"
"Master, your family background these few years is almost all in this Fengyang City. Could it be that you have the heart to leave it for others?"
"How can I leave it to others!"
"Then why don't you exchange all of your wealth for silver before secretly sending some trustworthy people to secretly escort all of this money out of the city. Would you hide it somewhere or send it back to your hometown? Wouldn't that be better?"
"This ?"
"In this way, when the old master leaves Fengyang, won't he be able to act out the 'Two Sleeves, Light Wind, Seniors' performance?" "I'm afraid that if those people came to investigate you and saw you leave Fengyang City like this, they would be suspicious of you too. They might even think that you have been wrongly accused!"
"Haha, I'll do as you say!"
"However, there is one more thing!"
"What is it?"
"Master's real estate shops are not for sale for a short period of time. If an acquaintance takes over then your intentions will be exposed. Do you think I should secretly find some unfamiliar people to take over these assets?"
"Un, not bad. Grand Master is indeed thoughtful. We shall do as you say. You will take full responsibility for this matter!" Oh right, as for the food equipment, I have to speed up the process. If I can't sell them, I'll give them to you.
"This subordinate understands!" Does the old master have any other instructions? "
"Right, do you think we should hide this huge sum of money or send it away?" Wu Daode suddenly asked casually, but in truth, those two cunning eyes were closely watching Qian Jincheng's every move.
"Master, you should think about this yourself! There are some things that your subordinate should not be involved in! " Qian Jincheng was not an idiot, and he had long seen through Wu Daode, so he rejected him very decisively. This method of testing people was not even worth mentioning in Qian Jincheng's eyes.
Wu Daode nodded with satisfaction: "Haha! You are a wise man! However, it's not convenient for me to show my face in this matter. Go and find some trusted confidants for me. As for the remaining matters, I will arrange for them to be completed! "
"Yes!" Your subordinate will arrange it right away! "
