SFS Chapter 138 Game
Chapter 138 Game
Prime Minister's House.
"Godfather, haven't you seen that old lady?" Xia Jinzhong asked.
Although my adoptive father looked calm, he came back so soon, obviously he hadn't accomplished anything.
Xia Bitu said calmly, "I almost saw you, but for your life, I gave up."
Xia Jinzhong was shocked: "Qin Zheng, guessed it again? Threatening you with my life?"
Xia Bitu looked at Xia Jinzhong and smiled: "Jinzhong, you have finally made progress."
It was originally a compliment, but Xia Jinzhong felt uncomfortable listening to it.
"I'm sorry, godfather, I messed up again!"
Xia Bitu smiled and said, "It's okay. It's your responsibility to restore Qian Zhen, not mine. I'm only helping you. I can help you!"
Xia Jinzhong: “…”
Xia Bitu added, "You can start implementing the plan you prepared."
Xia Jinzhong was shocked: "Isn't it early?"
Xia Bitu looked at Xia Jinzhong in surprise: "You think it's too early?"
Xia Jinzhong's old face flushed: "Jinzhong is stupid, please enlighten me, foster father."
Xia Bitu looked at Xia Jinzhong, his old face twitching.
I just praised you for your progress, but in the blink of an eye you turned into a fool again.
Xia Bitu suddenly felt powerless. It was too difficult to support a fool!
I had no choice but to continue cultivating him patiently: "Your plan of removing the firewood from under the cauldron will be useless if you don't use it now. I hope he hasn't seen through it yet. But, godfather, I remind you, this plan has no chance of success.
It's up to you to decide whether to do it or not. You have to be prepared. This will touch Qin Zheng's bottom line, and he will strike back hard! "
Xia Jinzhong remained silent. He was thinking and struggling!
Xia Bitu took a sip of tea and continued, "Father didn't expect Qin Zheng to suddenly ask me for money this time!"
Xia Jinzhong was startled: "What silver?"
Xia Bitu smiled bitterly: "The money he spent on his last private visit to North City."
Xia Jinzhong was speechless: "Can he get it from his adoptive father?"
Xia Bitu was helpless: "He kept calling me uncle, so how could I refuse? But I didn't know that this banknote would be ruined!"
Xia Jinzhong was curious: "Wouldn't it be enough to just give it to him?"
Xia Bitu said, “I originally thought it was simple, but when I asked to see the old lady, he became suspicious of her identity and asked me for information.
I felt bad about taking this silver, so I said, "Two thousand silver is not enough for this information." It was this sentence that made him deduce the old lady's true identity. And thus saw my purpose!"
Xia Jinzhong's face turned pale: "Qin Zheng's reasoning is terrifying!"
Xia Bitu nodded. "He's a smart man. He naturally knows how to protect himself and how to threaten me. So, I had no choice but to come back."
Xia Jinzhong frowned. "He can threaten me, but how can he threaten my adoptive father? Even the Empress knew my identity, but she chose to turn a blind eye, didn't she?"
Xia Bitu sighed: "Be loyal, listen to me, and give up the dream of restoring the country!"
Xia Jinzhong's old face turned red again. Didn't he see through the essence of the matter?
"Please enlighten me, godfather!"
Xia Bitu looked at Xia Jinzhong and said with a wry smile, "Your greatest strength is that you are not ashamed to ask questions from those below you, and knowing shame will lead to courage. If you lose even this strength, your adoptive father will really have no way to train you."
Xia Jinzhong's old face turned even redder.
Xia Bitu said, "You told me that a batch of mysterious large objects were transported into the palace. You suspected it was the Sky Thunder Cannon. But how could you forget the threat it poses?"
Xia Jinzhong's expression changed drastically. "Qin Zheng suddenly became so aggressive towards my adoptive father. This thing must really be the Heavenly Thunder Cannon? If my adoptive father goes all out to force the old lady to death, will Qin Zheng fire at the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
Xia Bitu's expression was serious: "What do you think?"
Xia Jinzhong shuddered. "So, what's next? We're going to spread the news about Qin Zheng and the Empress? To protect her reputation, the Empress will kill Qin Zheng and accuse him of orchestrating the incident to covet the Emperor's husband."
Xia Bitu nodded. "If we don't do this now, we might not have another chance! Right now, Qin Zheng is acting too strong. How can the empress be at ease? How can she allow others to sleep peacefully beside the tiger? Perhaps, as you said, she will take the opportunity to kill Qin Zheng. Is this the emperor's method? But the premise is that Qin Zheng doesn't see through it. If he sees through it, this strategy will be useless!"
"Report!" Suddenly, the guard's voice came from outside the door: "His Majesty summons you to court tonight!"
"Late morning?" Xia Jinzhong was horrified and turned to look at his adoptive father: "Something big happened?"
"The little monkey acted too quickly! Alas, Jinzhong, this card is useless!" Xia Bitu sighed and leaned weakly on the armchair.
"This plan is no longer feasible? Qin Zheng saw through it? Is the late court here because of this?" Xia Jinzhong really didn't want to ask, for fear of disappointing his adoptive father again, but he really didn't know.
Xia Bitu sighed again: "Although I don't know what he is going to do, but the evening court must be prepared for me!"
Suddenly he stood up and said, "Jinzhong, you must leave the city immediately. If it's too late, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave!"
Xia Jinzhong was shocked: "Qin Zheng wants to kill me?"
"Report!" Suddenly, a soldier came running in hurriedly and knelt outside the door to report: "Your Excellency, the Imperial Guards are out in full force, and all nine gates of the Imperial Capital are sealed."
Xia Bitu and Xia Jinzhong were stunned. Qin Zheng was so fast!
Xia Jinzhong's face turned pale: "It's over, I can't get out!"
Xia Bitu's face turned grim, and after a long while he said, "Be loyal, and your adoptive father will do his utmost to protect you. Just stay in the mansion and don't go anywhere!"
After that, he stood up and left.
Xia Jinzhong stood there, his face as pale as death!
In the imperial study, Xia Mochu was restless. The imperial decree had been issued, the capital was sealed off, and the evening court session was about to begin. But was Qin Zheng truly ready?
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Guards, the Imperial Guards, the Imperial Guards, and the Palace Guards are all in place!" Yuan Shiqing reported at the door of the imperial study.
Xia Mochu nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Yuan!"
Yuan Shiqing left.
He just left.
"Your Majesty!" Li Qiuhan came to report: "The special agents from Hongtong County have entered the palace!"
"Okay!" Xia Mochu ordered: "Deploy according to Qin Zheng's plan!"
"Yes!" Li Qiuhan left.
As soon as Li Qiuhan left, An Dehai hurried over: "Your Majesty, the ten sky thunder cannons have been deployed!"
"Very good!" At this moment, Xia Mochu felt relieved.
An Dehai said worriedly, "Your Majesty, if Qin Zheng's plan fails, it will be out of control. Do you need to notify..."
Xia Mochu knew that An Dehai was going to transfer her secret troops, the Jinyiwei.
However, once the Jinyiwei are dispatched, they will inevitably be noticed by certain people and exposed.
This is her ultimate trump card!
Xia Mochu gritted her teeth and said, "I believe in Qin Zheng!"
……
Shao Shi Mansion.
In the study, the atmosphere was tense.
Xia Mo Ning and Su Xiao Man looked serious.
Tao Yong, Ludong, fully armed, standing with his hands hanging down.
Qin Zheng is looking at the map.
Suddenly, he gave the order: "Tao Yong, as soon as the gunfire sounds, you will start the arrest operation. Make sure to catch all the members of the mafia who are not in the gambling house. The mafia boss who is not in the gambling house is the top priority and must be captured alive!"
"Yes!" Tao Yong saluted.
"Lu Dong, before midnight, you will lead our special forces and imperial guards to disperse the gamblers from the gambling house and apprehend all the core members of this mafia gang. In the event of resistance, all but the core members will be killed on the spot!
If any soldiers or officials from East City show up, arrest them on the spot. Except for the commander, all those who resist will be killed!
"Yes!" Lu Dong saluted.
Qin Zheng said, "When midnight arrives, regardless of whether you have completed your mission or not, you must immediately retreat to the safe area outside the gambling house!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Tao Yong and Lu Dong took the order and left.
"Master, the gambling house is the lair of the mafia. We can destroy it, but if the shell misses, innocent people will be hurt!"
Qin Zheng smiled and said, "It won't go crooked!"
Su Xiaoman asked, "Wangjiao Village, aren't you going to send anyone there?"
Qin Zheng said firmly, "Xia Bitu will never give up Fu Zhen Sect. Without Fu Zhen Sect, all his efforts over the years will be in vain!"
……
To the room!
Civil and military officials were talking about it, but no one knew what had happened!
Moreover, today was different from the past. Even the governor of the imperial capital, the commander-in-chief of the Five Cities Military Department, and the prefects of the Five Cities were here.
These people were not qualified to attend court unless summoned by the emperor.
Today's evening is unusual
Xia Bitu closed his eyes to rest, but in fact, he was also thinking about what might happen. Everything was weird.
There were two empty seats next to him.
These two seats belong to Taifu Wei Xuelin and Qin Zheng.
Qin Zheng's seat was arranged by Xia Bitu last time, and no one dared to remove it.
But at this moment, neither Qin Zheng nor Wei Xuelin came.
"Prime Minister, do you know why the court is held so late?" Minister of War Qu Zhengzhuo came over and asked in a low voice.
Xia Bitu didn't even open his eyes: "I don't know!"
Qu Zhengzhuo's face changed. Even the prime minister didn't know?
"Hehe, good morning, everyone!" Suddenly, Qin Zheng walked in.
"Master Qin!"
"Master Qin!"
Many people took the initiative to greet us.
Now Qin Zheng is a popular figure around His Majesty.
Qin Zheng responded one by one with a smile.
"Lord Qu!" Qin Zheng greeted Qu Zhengzhuo.
"Lord Qin!" Qu Zhengzhuo said perfunctorily and walked away.
Now that he saw Qin Zheng, he wanted to kill him immediately.
Qin Zheng walked over to Xia Bitu and sat down.
Xia Bitu opened his eyes at this moment, looked at Qin Zheng, and said nothing.
Qin Zheng tilted his head and looked at Xia Bitu: "Uncle? What's wrong? Who bullied you? Tell me, I can't kill him!"
Xia Bitu rolled his eyes at Qin Zheng and said, "You bullied me, why don't you kill yourself?"
Qin Zheng: "Uh..."
Xia Bitu didn't know why, but when he saw Qin Zheng, his anger subsided.
"You little monkey, what was your idea for His Majesty's evening court?" Xia Bitu asked in a low voice.
Qin Zheng admitted frankly: "To prevent my uncle from doing something wrong."
"Oh? What do you want to do?" Xia Bitu asked with a smile.
Qin Zheng did not hide it: "Prime Minister, you should know about the Sky Thunder Cannon, right?"
Xia Bitu thought to himself, as expected.
He said, "I haven't seen it myself, but I heard that it was very loud and powerful! What does this have to do with the late dynasty?"
Qin Zheng said, "What if the target of the bombardment tonight is your Prime Minister's Mansion?"
"what?"
With a whoosh, Xia Bitu stood up in shock and ran away.
It's actually true!
If that were true, everyone in his house would be dead.
Xia Jinzhong is still in the mansion!
Is Qin Zheng so cruel?
