Kowloon wins

Chapter 232 Combined Vertical and Horizontal ([-])
"The child has seen the father and king."

Hong Qing graciously sent fourth master out of the house, and watched fourth master's big sedan chair turn out of the screen wall in a very respectful manner, then hurried back to the study room in the inner courtyard, and just now turned around the screen, As soon as I saw the third master's piercing eyes, I saw that the eyes were full of inquiries. Seeing this, Hong Qing didn't dare to be negligent. She hurriedly walked a few steps, rushed to the front, and respectfully saluted and greeted her. .

"Well, what did that guy say?"

The third master was obviously anxious to understand the fourth master's mind, before Hong Qing's ceremony was in place, he impatiently raised his hand and went straight to the point.

"Returning to my father, the fourth uncle only slightly revealed the intention of joining forces. Seeing that the boy had no such intentions, he didn't say anything more about it. Instead, he set a trap for the boy, asking him to be responsible for arresting the fugitive death row prisoner. There are two purposes for this, one is to limit the possibility of the child intervening in the trial, and the other is to send a signal to the eighth uncle, creating the illusion that the fourth uncle has reached a consensus with us. It is aware of it, the difference is that the specific target has not yet been deduced."

Seeing that the third master asked so urgently, Hong Qing was secretly amused, but she didn't dare to show it on her face, instead she simply explained the result of the negotiations with the fourth master with a serious expression.

"Well, in your opinion, does the fourth child have something to do with the eighth?"

The third master did not comment on Hong Qing's statement, but frowned and pondered for a moment, and then hesitantly asked a question.

"It should be possible. However, from my child's point of view, if it wasn't for the last moment, Fourth Uncle would not have done this, at least he would not have thought about it in the first half month."

The third master's question is obviously not easy to answer. Even though Hong Qing knows the fourth master's temperament quite well, she still dare not say with 100% certainty, and dare not speak too much.

"Well, this is indeed something to be guarded against, master, Zicheng, do you two care about this?"

Although he didn't intend to use this case to completely defeat Ba Ye, but San Ye didn't want Si Ye and Ba Ye to be able to get along easily. In his opinion, if he can make Ba Ye a good man, he can also make Si Ye Exposing the incompetent "essence" in a dilemma is the best result. Of course, expectations belong to expectations. It is not an easy task to achieve such a goal. At least the third master himself is not very sure. At this moment, hearing Hong Qing's analysis like this, she couldn't help but feel a little worried, so she threw the problem to Chen and Li.

"My lord, my subordinates think that the little lord's analysis is so good that half a month is enough to mediate Mu Ning and others from the Ministry of Criminal Justice. As for the killing of the white goose, where should we go? The subordinates think that it is better to just sit and watch, now that the Lord is a wise king, even if the younger generation can gain power for a while, they will definitely be able to hide it from the eyes of the Holy Lord, even if they don't say it, they must remember it in their hearts, like this, in the prince's eyes The great cause has great benefits but no disadvantages, is there any reason why Hu can't do it?"

Although the third master didn't say it clearly, the meaning in the words was very clear, that is, he wanted to rescue Mu Ning and others safely, so as not to affect the important matter of river control, and also wanted to use this case to ruthlessly trap the fourth master Together with the Eighth Master, it is really difficult to achieve such a goal, Li Minquan didn't think it could be done safely, so he vaguely awakened the Third Master in his words.

"Master, look..."

In the past few years, the third master's affairs have been going well, and his heart has long been stretched. He is not satisfied with just ensuring that Mu Ning and others are safe, but also hopes to dispatch the fourth master and the eighth master to confront each other head-on in this case. In the last match, seeing that the strategy given by Li Minquan was steady, but he thought it was too steady, he was not very satisfied, but he didn't directly object, but cast Xiyi's eyes on the silent Old Master Chen.

"A skillful person will eventually be self-defeating. The prince must be vigilant."

Old Master Chen is a teacher, when he speaks, he is not as careful as Li Minquan, and he doesn't show much affection to the third master, so he scolds the third master unceremoniously.

"Master taught me well, Xiao Wang knows what to do."

The third master is really afraid of the harshness of the old master - when he was studying literature with the old master, he was scolded a lot. Now, even though he was blushing from the old master's training, he really didn't dare to refute The last sentence can only be an honest admission of mistakes.

"My lord, the fourteenth elder brother is here, and he said he has something important to discuss with you."

The third master had just finished speaking, but Gao Dacheng turned around from behind the screen again, rushed to the front with a surprised expression on his face, and hurriedly made a report.

"Huh? Qing'er, it's good if you go to meet her, Ama will be gone."

Hearing that the old fourteen had rushed over, the third master couldn't help being stunned again, but soon came back to his senses, and guessed the intention of the old fourteen in a flash, and a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth Without any nonsense, he made a decision with a wave of his hand.

"Yes, baby, let's go."

Since the third master had spoken, Hong Qing had no reason not to do so, she hurriedly bowed her body to agree, and rushed to the gate of the house together with Gao Dacheng again.

"Hey, Uncle Fourteen, what's wrong with the wind that brought you here?"

Although Hong Qing and the old fourteen had a different seniority, they were used to hanging out on weekdays, and they didn't pay much attention to those trivial etiquettes. After this trip, after leaving the gate of the house, they saw the old fourteen standing alone on the screen wall Before that, Hong Qing immediately showed a playful smile on her face, jokingly teasing Old Fourteen.

"Correct wind! You kid is poor-mouthed. Well, is this going to slap your Fourteenth Uncle in the face?"

Although they have different positions, they have a good personal relationship. Naturally, the old fourteen would not put on airs of an elder in front of Hong Qing, but he was not reconciled to being teased by Hong Qing like this. Going forward, he waved his palm in retaliation, slapped Hong Qing's still too thin shoulder heavily, and cursed with a smile pretending to be annoyed.

"No, Fourteenth Uncle, please be merciful. If our little arms and legs are broken by you, it won't matter when we look back at the case. Don't be offended by Fourteenth Uncle."

The old fourteen is a martial arts practitioner, his hands are very heavy, thinking about the safety of his own shoulders, but Hong Qing didn't intend to appreciate the strength of the old fourteen's hands, so he dodged, jumped to the side, and threatened the old fourteen Fourteen times.

"Ha, you brat, you're still playing the same game with Uncle Fourteen, and I'll settle the bill with you later, well, let's stop talking, let's go, and see you, Ama!"

Although what Hong Qing said was a joke, but the old fourteen didn't dare to take it as a joke, after all, he had a handle in Hong Qing's hands at this moment, if Hong Qing really wanted to make matters worse After all, the consequences would be unimaginable. This is exactly the reason why the old fourteen rushed to Prince Cheng's mansion after the fourth master left, in order to reach a compromise with the third master. Hong Qing seemed to reveal the meaning of making peace when she said and laughed, and her spirit was lifted immediately, but she didn't rush to ask the bottom line, but smiled and hugged Hong Qing's shoulders, and walked up the steps while cursing and proposing To meet the third master's request.

"The Fourteenth Uncle came by coincidence. My father accidentally caught a cold when he returned home today. He went to bed early at the moment. The Fourth Uncle also came before, and my nephew didn't dare to disturb Ama's rest. If Uncle Fourteen really has something important to do, why not come back tomorrow."

Hong Qing didn't intend to let the old fourteen go to see the third master, so she deliberately pointed out the fourth master's visit in her words, so as to block the old fourteen's mouth.

"Hey, the fourth brother's legs are very long. I just came out of the Ministry of Criminal Justice a while ago, and came here after wandering around. It's interesting. Come on, let's stop talking nonsense with you. It's the same with the master chatting with you. Let's go, come in Go talk to the government!"

The eighth master didn't have the idea of ​​contacting the third master immediately, but once he learned that the fourth master had arrived at Prince Cheng's mansion, he couldn't hold his breath anymore, so he sent Hong Qing, who had a personal relationship with Hong Qing, to The old fourteen came to find out the news. Before getting specific information, the old fourteen did not plan to leave. How could he be hindered by Hong Qing's evasive words, so he hugged Hong Qing's shoulders involuntarily, They walked towards the mansion together happily.

"Uncle Fourteen, please drink some tea."

The two uncles and nephews walked into the front hall together, and sat down respectively as guests and hosts. A group of servants of the palace rushed to serve the freshly brewed fragrant tea, and then they each left the hall, leaving only the two uncles and nephews facing each other. Sitting down, Hong Qing, who was eager to get to the point, held the tea bowl with a smile, waved towards Old Fourteen, and said "please" politely.

"Good tea, not bad. The tea used by your boy's house is even better than the tribute rewarded by Huang Ama. Well, I am not polite to you. I will take it home and drink it. a joy."

Old Fourteen was also a tea lover, after drinking it, he became more interested in the tea that Hong Qing served, and blackmailed him on the spot.

"Ten catties and eight catties? You always think that we are running a tea shop. One catty of this special-grade Yuqian Longjing is 2000 taels of silver. I will give you ten catties and eight catties. Can my nephew drink the northwest wind? Don't worry, it's only one catty , if you want it or not, there is no extra money."

Even though she knew that the old fourteen said this in order to get close, but Hongqing didn't intend to let the old fourteen be ripped off so easily, rolled her eyes, and said angrily.

"Hey, you kid, just pick it up, well, I don't care about you, a catty is a catty, there is always more than not strong, don't talk about it, I have business to see you, let's say, your kid is at the entrance of the vegetable market. What is the reason for the huge commotion?"

Of course, the old fourteen came here not to get close, but with an important mission. It’s okay to talk and laugh, but it’s impossible to talk endlessly like this. This follows Hong Qing’s Mai Tai cursed with a smile, then changed the subject, and got to the point.
