Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 53 Pretend I was never here!
In the West Market, inside Cui’s rouge and powder shop.

Cui Minghao looked at the guy who was reporting in front of him with an expressionless face. He only slowly picked up the teacup after the other party finished speaking, bowed and left.

Qian Yun and the others were caught!

How could they be caught by the guards who came here to smell the scent? !
Previously, Qian Yun and others had helped them many times and solved such problems one after another! In Cui Minghao's view, to deal with a newly rising Wen Xiang, even if the prince of the Eastern Palace stood behind him, so what?
With just a little trick, you can easily crush it to death!
But this time something unexpected happened.

The only good news was that Qian Yun and his four companions did not fall into Wen Xianglai's hands, but were taken away by patrol police.

Qian Yun won't betray me...

Of course, this idea was strangled as soon as it arose in Cui Minghao's mind.

There is no absolute safety, only the dead cannot speak!
But now Cui Minghao didn't know where they were being held, so how could he start? Besides, just because they didn't steal the soap-making method, he would kill them directly?

The cost is too high and the gain does not outweigh the loss.

"I'm going to go out for a while, you guys keep an eye on the store."

After leaving the shop, Cui Minghao went directly to Xuanpingfang without any hesitation.

It was not until he arrived outside a mansion that he stopped, smiled slightly, and greeted the doorman.

"Is Master Cui at home?"

"You come with me."

Cui Minghao followed the doorman into the mansion without saying a word.

But after a while.

Cui Minghao then met Cui Renshi, the owner of this mansion.

"I am Cui Minghao, your humble servant, nice to meet you, sir."

"Is something wrong?"

Cui Minghao hesitated for a moment, then told him everything that happened last night in detail.

Cui Renshi raised his eyebrows coldly, and a trace of anger flashed across his face, "You have been working in the gouache shop for so many years, how could you still cause such trouble?!"

Cui Minghao hurriedly said, "Please calm down, sir. I never expected that Su Chen would place so many people in Wenxianglai, which led to the arrest of Qian Yun and the other four."

"Oh, do you really think that Su Chen is some small character?"

Cui Renshi said coldly, "If he was just a minor character, why would Your Majesty be hostile to the Crown Prince?"

"Why has Kong Yingda not made any statement yet when he has ridden on the Kong family's necks and peed and shit?"

Cui Minghao: "I am a fool."

Cui Renshi was silent for a moment, "Are the four of them keeping their mouths shut?"

Cui Minghao: "Strict!"

Cui Renshi nodded, "If that's the case, then it's easy to handle."

As long as Qian Yun and the other three insist that they were just greedy for money, the matter will be concluded soon.

But if Qian Yun and the other three gave them away, the impact of this matter would be huge.

"It's just that I haven't found out yet where the four of them were taken by the patrol police, and I can't get in touch with them..."

"You still want to contact them at this time?"

Cui Renshi snorted coldly, "Just pretend you haven't seen them. No matter who asks, you'll say the same thing!"

Cui Minghao nodded in understanding.

Cui Renshi: "Okay, you go back, I'll take care of the rest."

"Thank you for your help, sir."

Cui Minghao bowed deeply and left the room.

Cui Renshi pondered for a moment, then said, "Come here, please invite General Lu to come over for a chat."

……

Come for the scent.

Business is still booming.

However, servants from the homes of high-ranking officials and dignitaries are rarely seen, and most of them are ordinary people in ordinary clothes.

Although sales were good, we didn't make much money.

"Sir, I just sent someone to Captain Qi's place. They interrogated Qian Yun and the other three, but they didn't get any useful information."

Wang Xuance said in a deep voice, "According to the explanation of Qian Yun and the other three, they were tempted by the money, so they wanted to sneak in over the wall and get some silver."

"That's a lie that can fool ghosts."

Su Chen smiled and said, "Why don't you go to the workshop to get money instead of smelling the fragrance?"

Wang Xuance nodded. "That's what I said, too. But Captain Qi said that these four people are very tight-lipped. If they insist on it, we can only punish them for attempted theft." "I do have a good idea. We can get useful information from them, but Captain Qi and his men may not agree."

Su Chen smiled and waved his hand, "Don't worry, let them tell the truth, there are plenty of ways."

“But sometimes it’s better for them not to tell the truth.”

Wang Xuance pondered and said, "Sir, you mean that someone is more anxious than us?"

Su Chen: "That depends on how deep their trust in each other is."

"Instead of wasting time on the four of them, it is better to let Qi Huan and the others follow the rules and secretly keep an eye on who comes into contact with them."

Wang Xuance smiled and nodded: "Young Master is wise."

At this time.

Su Wang ran over with a happy face, "Sir, good news, Master Su Bin is here."

Su Chen raised his eyebrows and smiled, "He is quite fast."

Xue Rengui's family, young and old, had not yet arrived in Chang'an City, but he, who was inviting people, had already come to Chang'an City first.

"Brother Su!"

Su Bing was not very old, only in his early thirties. He was wearing a well-fitting moon-white gown embroidered with gold edges, giving people the illusion that he looked more like a scholar than a businessman.

"Boss Su, I've heard of your great name for a long time."

"Haha, Brother Su, you are making fun of me."

Su Bin smiled and pointed at Su Wang standing beside him and said, "This guy used to work for my uncle and called me cousin, but now I am an outsider."

Su Wang begged for mercy: "Young Master, please stop teasing me. If I tell Master Su Chen that Young Master is here, will he know who you are?"

Su Chen was immediately amused, and Su Bin also nodded with a smile, "You are a sensible boy, go and get busy."

"Hey."

Su Wang responded, turned around and went downstairs.

Su Bin bowed his hands and said, "Brother Su, I came to Chang'an City this time to ask for a favor. I hope you can help me."

Su Chen smiled, took out a letter from his sleeve and placed it in front of Su Bin.

Su Bin looked carefully and saw five big characters written on it: "Personally written by Brother Su Bing."

Su Bing was stunned, "Brother Su, what's this?"

Su Chen smiled and said, "Originally I wanted to ask Su Wang to send it to you, but I didn't expect you to come to Chang'an City so soon. This will save some trouble. You might as well open it and take a look."

"That's a telepathic connection..."

"Don't."

Su Chen waved his hand teasingly, "I prefer the girls in Nishang Building. We are so in tune with each other."

Su Bing: "..."

Su Bin smiled and shook his head, then opened the letter. His eyes suddenly became more fiery, and even the smile on his face became much more unrestrained.

"Brother Su, you really make me unbelievable!"

Su Bin solemnly put away the letter and stuffed it into the lining. "How do you know I came here for the soap?"

Su Chen shook his head, "I don't know, but I know you need this, and I also need your channel."

"Brother Su, you are this!"

Su Bin immediately smiled and gave a thumbs up. Then, the smile on Su Bin's face faded, and he looked more mercenary. "Brother Su, how much do you want?"

"How much do you want?"

"what?"

Su Bin was stunned for a moment.

Su Chen said faintly: "Brother Su Bing, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace is standing behind you and me."

Su Bing: "..."

Silent.

Su Bin took out the letter from Su Chen from the lining and placed it in front of Su Chen.

This wave of operations made Su Chen dumbfounded.

What do you mean?
Su Bin stood up with a serious look on his face and clasped his fists: "Brother Su, just pretend I was never here. Goodbye!"

Su Chen: "..."

ps: I encountered some problems these two days, so the update is not timely. Please forgive me. Thank you!
