Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty - Vol 2 Chapter 2107
At five quarters, a carriage drove out of the gate of the imperial palace and headed towards Chongrenfang.
The carriage is the second generation of “Don’t Touch Me” from Qiquge. Its speed and comfort are much better than other ordinary carriages on the market, but the people sitting in the carriage are unintentional at this moment. Enjoy, he frowned, dripping from an old face with a gloomy face.
“Is the old man really wrong? Isn’t it true that the king of Shu doesn’t have the heart to fight for power?”
The person sitting in the carriage was Chang Sun Wuji. He had a conversation with Li Er in the palace before. In the end, he naturally broke up unhappy, but Li Er’s last words were deeply engraved in his. In my mind, “I know my sons and fathers, I know these sons better than you! Ke’er loves the way of economy, and has no desire to fight for power and profit”, “I am only a young man, and the crown prince fights, I advise you to continue Don’t get involved too much”, remembering what Li Er had said in Ganludian, Changsun Wuji couldn’t help but have self-doubt.
“Impossible! The old man cannot be wrong!”
The carriage moved forward in no hurry. The conversations of pedestrians on both sides of the street and the screams of vendors seemed unable to reach the ears of Changsun Wuji. He just sat on the soft leather sofa in the carriage with his eyes blank. In a daze, I don’t know how long it has passed. Changsun Wuji shook his head abruptly, and his eyes gradually recovered. He muttered to himself:
“With an important position, wealth and soldiers, plus the royal blood of two dynasties, how can you not be ambitious? Even if you don’t have it now, you will definitely have it in the future, just like your Majesty back then!”
There is no one in the carriage except Changsun Wuji. Obviously, what he said was meant for himself. He wanted to strengthen his heart, and he wanted to tell himself that he had done nothing wrong!
After all, he still doesn’t believe that Li Ke, under the control of Yanhuang Bank and Jinyiwei, will really have no desire to fight for power as Li Er said!
Comparing hearts and thinking in different places, the grandson Wuji asked himself, if he was Li Ke, and he was in Li Ke’s current situation, he would never have no ambitions at all!
Huanhai has been up and down for more than ten years. Changsun Wuji is not only brilliant, but also has a vicious vision. He has seen too many people, so he is confident that he will not be wrong this time!
“Master, here it is!”
In this way, in Changsun Wuji’s “self-doubt” and “self-resistance”, after a while, the carriage stopped, the coachman jumped out of the carriage, and bowed to Changsun Wuji inside through the curtain.
“Um!”
Changsun Wuji finally recovered from the chaotic thoughts. He got up and lifted the driving curtain and jumped out of the carriage. The servant in front of Changsun’s mansion saw the familiar carriage parked at the door and hurriedly greeted him. Ji suddenly thought of something at this moment, and said to the servant who was about to salute him: “Send Ma Cheng to the main hall to see the old man!”
There is obviously a trace of anger in the voice!
“Yes! Master!”
When people heard it, they felt awe-inspiring, and they could detect that Changsun Wuji was angry now, so he responded quickly.
Changsun Wuji nodded, raised his foot into the mansion, and walked towards the main hall.
Obviously, he is looking for Ma Cheng to settle accounts!
If Ma Cheng hadn’t come to “bewitching” him in the morning, he would not have gone to the palace to impeach Li Ke so recklessly, let alone be beaten by Li Er!
“Ma Cheng has met Elder Ge!”
Changsun Wuji returned to the main hall. After drinking half a cup of tea, there was a sound of footsteps outside the house. After a while, Ma Cheng appeared in front of him and saluted him.
Changsun Wuji held the tea cup in front of his mouth and rubbed the tea cup with the tea cover, seeming to be carefully tasting the fragrant tea, but the corner of his eye had been observing Ma Cheng in secret. Sure enough, he caught a glimpse of Ma Cheng. While bowing to salute him, she quietly raised her eyes to observe him.
Watch your words!
Obviously, Ma Cheng wanted to observe some clues from the face of Changsun Wuji, in order to judge the “achievements” of Changsun Wuji’s visit to the palace!
Changsun Wuji retracted his gaze, but his heart moved. He placed the tea cup on the coffee table beside him and looked at Ma Cheng with a smile on his face and said, “Zhongming don’t need to be polite!”
Zhongming is Ma Cheng’s word!
Seeing Chang Sun Wuji smiling, Ma Cheng suddenly felt relieved. When he was saluting, he saw that Chang Sun Wuji was expressionless, unhappy or angry, and thought that Chang Sun Wuji’s trip to the palace was not smooth. It now appears that Changsun Wuji will definitely be rewarded with this trip!
So, Ma Cheng straightened up quickly, and couldn’t wait to put his hand over and asked, “Lao Ge, is this just coming back from outside?”
Although Ma Cheng is eager to know the result, it does not mean that he has lost his sanity. Of course, he can’t directly ask Changsun Wuji what Li Er said in the palace. In that case, wouldn’t his secret monitoring of Changsun Wuji be exposed?
So at this time, he has to pretend to be confused, pretending not to know Changsun Wuji before going to the palace.
Hearing this, Changsun Wuji narrowed his eyes, but quickly said with a smile:
“Hehe! That’s right, I just came back from the palace!”
Speaking of this, he paused deliberately. Sure enough, he saw a glimmer of joy and eagerness in Ma Cheng’s eyes, so he went on to say: “The old man immediately went to the palace after learning the news about Yanhuang Bank from you. I told your Majesty that after hearing the news, your Majesty was furious. After all, this Yanhuang Bank is a regular sect under the household. How can you let the king of Shu want to suppress whoever you want to suppress? In the long run, where is the prestige of the court? What is the majesty of your Majesty?”
Speaking of this, Changsun Wuji’s face became agitated, and even a hint of anger was faintly implied. In Ma Cheng’s view, Changsun Wuji was angry at Li Ke’s arbitrary behavior, but it was actually …
“Your Majesty Shengming! After all, this Yanhuang Bank belongs to the court, not the King of Shu!”
Ma Cheng quickly licked his face and echoed aloud, and then he finally asked what he had always wanted to ask: “Elder Ge, I don’t know what Sheng Shang plans to do with this matter?”
This is what he cares about most!
Because if he can really help An Shuncai and others to lift the “sanctions” of Yanhuang Bank, An Shuncai and others will definitely benefit from him afterwards! After all, Anshun had already given him 10,000 benefits before that. God knows how much benefit Anshun will give him if things are really done by him?
Give ten thousand more pens? Or twenty thousand?
As soon as he thought of this, Ma Cheng suddenly felt a little short of breath. Before that, he had never thought that one day he would have tens of thousands of fortunes! If it were put in the past, he might think that ten thousand sticks are a lot, and he can’t spend so much money in his life, but now, his greed has been aroused, before he wants to come, since he has the opportunity to earn more Ten thousand sticks, why not earn?
Of course, the higher the benefit, the greater the risk. Ma Cheng, who is already lusted for profit, did not realize that the danger is approaching him step by step!
“Huh! King Shu used his power to unreasonably suppress the merchants of Anguo and Kangguo. His Majesty has urged King Shu to return to the palace! I believe it will not be long before Yanhuang Bank will welcome a new manager!”
Changsun Wuji snorted coldly and said.
Ma Cheng’s heart is about to jump out of his chest at this moment. If it weren’t for him to know that the situation was wrong, he would have to jump three feet high with excitement. He forced himself to calm down. The huge wealth is right in front of him, even at his fingertips. He would be prosperous and wealthy for the rest of his life. The enjoyment is endless. At this time, he must be “stable”, must be “wretched development”, must not “wave”, and can not let the grandson Wuji see the clues and become suspicious!
“Zhongming, you did a good job of this matter! I called you over because I wanted you to continue to stare at Yanhuang Bank. As soon as there is news over there, I will report it to the old man!”
Changsun Wuji then continued.
Ma Cheng thinks that he is hiding well, but in terms of his vicious eyes and “expression management”, how can he, a “little chicken” who has not just entered officialdom, be the opponent of the grandson Wuji who has been up and down for more than ten years? Although he forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, his clenched hands “betrayed” him, and Changsun Wuji saw the clue at a glance!
But Changsun Wuji did not speak out.
“Thank you for your praise!”
Hearing Changsun Wuji’s praise, Ma Cheng’s sullen face finally showed a smile at this moment. He smiled and bowed his hand to Changsun Wuji, saying: “The old man Yu Zhongming has the kindness of knowing and meeting, and Zhongming is willing to be the old man. Going through fire and water, then go to Yanhuang Qianzhuang to stare at the old man!”
“Hmm! Go!”
Changsun Wuji nodded with a “happy” look, and waved to Ma Cheng.
Ma Cheng arched his hand to Changsun Wuji, then turned and left.
The moment he turned his body, Ma Cheng’s face couldn’t be stretched anymore, from the original smile to an extremely exaggerated laugh, but he held back and said nothing, after all, he hadn’t gone far. Woolen cloth!
Stepping out of the main hall door, Ma Cheng seemed to see countless Zhang Tangyuan waving to him. At this moment, he really wished he had a pair of wings and could fly to An Shuncai’s side instantly, not because of how much he “loves” An Shuncai, but because He can get a lot of money from Anshun right away!
With all this money, he can stand on his own. Why should he continue to bend himself as a guest in Changsun Mansion?
“Qinghe!”
In the main hall, seeing Ma Cheng had gone far, Changsun Wuji hurriedly shouted outside the door.
“The subordinate is here!”
Soon, a strong samurai with a sword walked in outside the house.
This person is the guard leader of the Changsun family, Changsun Qinghe, the peak master of Huaqi!
“You immediately take a few smart people to follow Ma Cheng. If he did not go to Yanhuang Bank, but met someone, you will bring him and that person back to the old man! Remember, you have to live!”
Changsun Wuji said coldly with a calm face.
Ma Cheng is obviously hiding something from him, and he wants to use his hand to achieve a certain goal. Longsun Wuji has been in a high position for many years, how can he tolerate such a “little fish” using and playing with him?
The reason why he didn’t expose Ma Cheng face-to-face just now was because Changsun Wuji wanted to see who was behind this guy!
“Yes! Patriarch!”
Hearing this, the eldest son Qinghe took his command loudly and turned away.
After a while, four or five warriors in strong costumes left Changsun Mansion, and they were far behind Ma Cheng. At this moment, Ma Cheng did not go to the headquarters of Yanhuang Bank in the west, but headed east. The East Market of Chang’an City!
“The Patriarch expected it to be correct, Ma Cheng must have done shameful deeds!!”
Looking at Ma Cheng’s back, the grandson Qinghe muttered to himself.
“The shopkeeper, go and ask your boss to come over and say that Ma has something to tell you!”
Two quarters of an hour later, Ma Cheng came to a teahouse in Dongshi. After entering the door, he went directly to the counter and whispered to the shopkeeper.
This teahouse is the same teahouse where he and Anshun only had tea in the morning. The name is “Anshun Teahouse”!
“… Yo~! It turned out to be Ma… Mr. Ma, please go upstairs! Old man, I will send someone to invite our boss to come over!”
The shopkeeper just wanted to say, “Who is your special mother, our boss is what you want to see”, but when he looked up, he instantly felt that the person in front of him was a bit familiar. After a while, his heart felt aroused. Isn’t this person the one who had tea with the owner on the second floor in the morning? Moreover, the owner had specifically confessed to him before he left. If the person behind comes back, not only must he be entertained, but he must also be reported immediately! As a result, the shopkeeper’s expression changed, and he hurriedly changed his words.
“Hmm! Hurry up! I have limited time!”
Ma Cheng nodded, and urged the shopkeeper.
It’s not that he is worried that he will be discovered by staying here for too long ~www.mtlnovel.com~ but that he can’t wait to get more benefits promised by Anshun!
“Yes, yes! Mr. Ma, please go upstairs first, our owner should be in the Anshun restaurant in Dongshi, and we will be able to come soon!”
The shopkeeper really thought that Ma Cheng still had something urgent to do. For fear that the distinguished guest of his own owner could not wait to leave for a while, he hurriedly “pacified”.
Ma Cheng nodded, and turned towards the second floor. The small servant next to the shopkeeper ran up to Ma Cheng with great eyesight and led the way for him.
“Da Zhuang, you run fast, go to the restaurant and let the owner come over, just say Mr. Ma is here!”
After watching Ma Cheng go upstairs, the shopkeeper hurriedly pulled over a small servant and ordered.
“Yes! Shopkeeper Hu!”
The little boy responded, put down the tea tray in his hand, and ran out like flying.
“Boss, shall we go in and catch Ma Cheng now?”
Under the banyan tree in the west corner of Anshun Restaurant, Changsun Qinghe and his party were watching the cat in secret. At this time, a guard of the Changsun Mansion, who was slightly smaller, asked.
Obviously they already knew the mission of this trip, so they also called Ma Cheng “Ma Zhan Shi”, but called him by his first name!
“Wait!”
Long Sun Qinghe frowned and looked at the little boy who ran out of the tea house, and said: “As soon as Ma Cheng entered the tea house, there was a little boy who ran out. Obviously the master hasn’t arrived yet, let’s wait!”
Speaking of this, in order to make sure nothing goes wrong, Changsun Qinghe turned his head and said to the four people behind him: “You guys go and see if there is any other exit from the teahouse. If there is a back door, leave two people there to guard, and the other two Come back and guard the front door with me!”
“Yes! Boss!”
