Kowloon wins

Chapter 198 The Restless Night
At the time of Haishi, the night was a little bit dark, and the huge Prince Cheng's mansion was already dark and dead, only the study in the inner courtyard was still brightly lit. Prince Cheng Yinzhi, who was dressed in purple single clothes, stood in the study with his hands behind his back. Walking around slowly, it seems relaxed and casual, but in fact, the slightly frowning brow clearly shows that the third master is not in a calm mood at the moment, which is not surprising. It's time to see the truth, but until now, the third master has not been completely sure, so how can he not worry that something will go wrong with the settlement of the debt tomorrow? Wouldn't the image be ruined in one go?

"The child kowtows to see the father!"

Just when the third master was upset, he heard the sound of footsteps, Hong Qing, who was sweating profusely, turned around from behind the screen, walked a few steps quickly, rushed to the front, and rushed to pay respects.

"Qing'er is back, okay, how's the situation?"

Seeing Hong Qing's return, the third master stopped immediately, without even yelling, so he asked impatiently.

"So that the father knows that Ba Junmen has agreed to cooperate with us, and this child..."

Seeing that the third master was so anxious that he lost his composure, Hong Qing felt amused, but did not dare to delay, so she explained in detail the process of discussing with Ba Xi.

"Well, good, with Ba Junmen's help, the matter is more than half done!"

The reason why the third master didn't go to rest at this time was to wait for the news from Hong Qing, and when he heard that Ba Xi had agreed to help, the big stone hanging in his heart fell to the ground, so he was excited He clapped his hands and said hello.

"Father Wang is wise, and I don't know if there is any trustworthy letter from Cao Zhizao?"

As for Ba Xi, Hong Qing knew many things, and it would not be difficult to persuade him to cooperate with him by prescribing the right medicine. But for Cao Yin, Hong Qing did not dare to guarantee it. After all, the deficit owed by the Cao family was too great It's too huge, even though it's all due to the cost of picking up the driver many times, but the debt is on the Cao family's head, it's not easy for others to comment on this matter, it can only see what the old man thinks However, the Cao family was the one with the most deficits, and it was really a hurdle that couldn't be overcome. Hongqing really didn't dare to take it lightly if he didn't understand the situation.

"Huang Ama only said that he would call Cao Yin into the palace tomorrow, but he didn't say much about the rest."

Speaking of Jiangning Cao's family, the third master also had a headache, and Piansheng also had nothing to think about, so he shook his head helplessly and gave an uncertain answer.

Well, the old man wanted to tighten his money, but he didn't want people to gossip, so he actually played such a rascal trick!

Hong Qing guessed the old man's thoughts, but he just felt sorry for the money bag and didn't want to pay back the money by himself - the old man went to the south of the Yangtze River four times, and lived in the Cao's house every time. There are more than 10,000 taels, such a large amount of money, although the old man's internal treasury can be used, but if he really took it, it must be a pain in the neck. Besides, the old man helped the prince to pay back [-]+ taels, and it was returned. It can be said to be a special case. If you help the Cao family repay the debts, what will happen to the debts of Ba Xi and other old brothers who share weal and woe with the old man? Even if it came out, it wasn't enough, and in a dilemma, they had no choice but to use the pretext of summoning the Cao family from the doomed situation. Try to solve it.

"That's fine, as long as he doesn't show up at the household department tomorrow, the matter can be covered up."

Now that the matter has come to this point, it is meaningless to say anything else, so Hong Qing can only pretend to be confused and comfort the third master.

"Well, that's all, it's getting late, I'm tired of talking."

What needs to be discussed has already been discussed, and in the current situation, it can only be taken one step at a time. As for whether it will happen or not, it can only be a gamble, the third master knows Knowing it well, he lost interest in discussing matters, so he waved his hand and gave the order to chase away the guests.

"Yes, boy, leave!"

Things are coming, it's useless to talk about it, but it's easy to confuse your heart, Hong Qing knows this very well, so she didn't say any more, bowed respectfully, and then went back to Cuishan residence on her own up.

"Um……"

The third master didn't care about Hongqing's departure, and walked to the window on his own, and stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the waning moon in the sky, and stood there for a long time, then he let out a long sigh, and there was a little bit of sadness inside. Nervous, a little bit of anticipation, but also a little bit of apprehension and uneasiness...

"Come on, keep drinking, you won't get drunk today!"

The night was already a bit late, and most of the capital was completely dark, but Shi Ye's mansion was still noisy, but Shi Ye was shirtless, holding a large bowl in his left hand, holding it high, his right hand violently With a wave, he bluffed with pride.

"Master Shi said well, come, drink, drink!"

"Drink, dry!"

"Drinking with Master Shi is refreshing, there is no need to say anything, let's do it!"

……

Sitting crookedly around the table are all military generals, all of them were drunk, yelling and making noise, pouring madly into their stomachs like drinking water, as crazy as they want How crazy.

"Hahaha..., well, that's interesting! Tomorrow, it's all up to the big guys. If anyone is cowardly, don't blame the master to slap and serve him!"

Master Shi raised his head and poured a large bowl of Bai Shao into his throat, then slammed the bowl on the table, reached out his hand to wipe the residual wine from the corner of his mouth, laughed loudly, then his face darkened, and he looked around ferociously. All the people in the audience uttered a very threatening sentence in a sinister manner.

"Master Ten, what are you talking about? We brothers are afraid of who will come. If anyone really dares to coax, you don't need Master Ten to do it, and the last one will be the first to be spared!"

"Yes, that's what I said, grandma is an idiot, clear the ass, brothers, I don't care if he is the third master or the fourth master, just his mother's words, if you want money, if you want life, take it if you have the kind, if you don't Damn, get the hell out of here!"

"Master Shi, don't worry, there are no servants around, but there are still a few who are brave. Forgive me, the third master will not dare to do anything to the servants, just wait and see!"

……

Those present were all military generals, either subordinates of Ba Ye and his gang, or those who had always been close to Ba Ye. After coming here, hearing Shi Ye's words now, he was happy to obey his orders, and they all expressed their attitudes with groans, and it really seemed like a common enemy.

"Hahaha... Okay, I like to hear this, I'll see how you behave tomorrow, come on, keep drinking!"

No matter whether it's from personal enmity or justice, Master Shi never wants to see the father and son of the third master get into trouble. The purpose of having a banquet with many generals tonight is to unify everyone's thinking, and what they want is the morale of the same enemy. Seeing that all the generals responded with pride, Master Shi was overjoyed, he grabbed the wine jar beside the table with pride, raised it high, and roared loudly, Under the gathering, a booze began again...

"No more!"

It was already late at night, and the fourth master, who used to go to bed early and get up early in the past, was not sleepy at all. Sitting under the lonely lamp, facing the chess game that had reached the middle game, he frowned and thought for a long time. The white chess piece he was holding couldn't fall, and he was upset, so he simply stretched out his hand to disrupt the chess situation.

"Fourth Master is upset."

Seeing that Fourth Master messed up the losing game, Dai Duo couldn't help shaking his head slightly, and commented meaningfully.

"Um……"

The fourth master did not respond to Dai Duo's comments, but let out a sigh of relief, stood up, with his hands behind his back, and paced back and forth in the study, his brows were full of irritability.

"Fourth Master, you don't need to worry about it. Even if this matter fails, you will definitely not be held accountable. Left and right are just business-like ears. Whatever you say, it's the most reasonable thing."

As the number one counselor in the fourth master's house, Dai Duo knew the root of the fourth master's uneasiness, so he comforted him from the sidelines.

"Ah."

I know about my family's affairs. The fourth master doesn't think that the little tricks he did in the household department are glorious, and he doesn't think that he can really hide the truth from the third master and his son. It may even have fallen into the old man's eyes long ago, but he didn't. He has to do so - the household department is in charge of his fourth master, so it's not a good thing for the third master to get in his way. If the third master is allowed to settle debts that his fourth master can't, If you lose your face, you have to lose everything, just for this one, it's not something the fourth master can tolerate, even if you kill three thousand enemies and hurt yourself eight hundred, the fourth master can only bite the bullet It's up, the question is whether it will be successful or not, but it is still uncertain. If things go wrong, the consequences will be serious, Fourth Master really can't afford it!When thinking of the cunning third master like a fox and the evil Hong Qing, how can the fourth master feel at ease.

"Fourth Master, it's late at night, please go to bed earlier, there are many things to do tomorrow, so don't ignore them."

What should be said, Dai Duo has actually said it a long time ago, seeing that Fourth Master is so anxious now, Dai Duo can't think about it, so he can only remonstrate without much nourishment.

"Well, it's getting late, let's just talk about it."

At this moment, Fourth Master was in a state of disarray, he was not at all sleepy at all, seeing that Dai Duo had nothing to do, he didn't want to continue this boring conversation, so he waved his hand and issued the order to evict the guest.

"Yes, the servant will leave!"

Dai Duo opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something more, but he still didn't say anything in the end, so he just bowed and saluted, and left the study on his own.

"Calmness in every big event? Well, that's easier said than done!"

The fourth master ignored Dai Duo's resignation, looked at the imperial gift banner hanging in the middle of the study with a worried face, and read it in a whisper, but not only failed to suppress the irritability in his heart, but also It's even more annoying.
