Chapter 785 Conscience

During the period of friendship with Xiao Daheng, Liu Huangshang, who had been suppressed for many years, finally had a tendency to rise. Suddenly, many people came to make friends with him and give him gifts. In addition, Xiao Daheng and Shen Yiguan gave him things, Liu Huangshang I have been poor for many years, and I couldn't hold back for a while, so I collected a lot of things.

This time, he couldn't stop collecting money. He was collecting more and more money. For the first time in his life, he knew that money was such an easy thing to get. He couldn't stop collecting money at all.

He himself was not clean.

It was also against the court law that he used the money to buy houses and land tenants in his hometown. If Xiao Ruxun and the others succeeded, what would happen to him?
What will the red-eyed emperor do then?
In the end, he and Xiao Ruxun didn't have much friendship, let alone a life-and-death friendship. It can only be said that Liu Huangshang very much recognized Xiao Ruxun's ability to command troops, and he also drank and chatted with Xiao Ruxun in North Korea. In the post-war petition, Xiao Ruxun also mentioned Liu Huangshang.

As for what to do...

Watching the hardworking and loyal Xiao Ruxun die, watching the emperor be abolished, watching this kind of thing happen, and then let everything be distorted, and everything will no longer be known to future generations...

Or out of conscience, out of the only conscience left in my heart, so as to help in time?
In the tug-of-war between actual interests and conscience, Liu Huangshang, who was not completely sunk, spent a day and a half of extreme entanglement and pain. Finally, Liu Huangshang came up with a solution that seemed to be the best of both worlds.

Let Shen Yiguan complete this matter, attack the emperor, and destroy the emperor's attempt.

At the same time, it severely hit Xiao Ruxun's self-confidence, knocked out Xiao Ruxun's morale, let him know the huge gap in strength between himself and Shen Yiguan, made him depressed, and no longer dared to attack Shen Yiguan.

Then he took action to let Xiao Ruxun go, let him leave disheartened, and go back to Burma to take his wife and children away, and never interfere in the affairs of the Central Plains.

This will not only make my conscience passable, but also prevent me from killing myself after the emperor gains power, so that the wealth I finally obtained will disappear again.

This was the only way Liu Huangshang could think of.

Of course, Liu Huangshang didn't intend to take any risks, because he was a person who believed in fate.

If Xiao Ruxun died here, then he deserved to die there, and Liu Huangshang didn't owe Xiao Ruxun anything.

If Xiao Ruxun can survive Shen Yitong's trap, then Xiao Ruxun's life is not worth dying, and he will help him, which is worthy of his own conscience.

On the night when the coup d'état was about to start, Liu Huangshang was recommended by Xiao Daheng, and instead of acting with Xiao Daheng, he was given the task of commanding and planning to eliminate Tengxiang's Four Guards and the Warriors' Battalion.

Xiao Daheng made it clear that he wanted Liu Huangshang to perform well in front of Shen Yiguan and show his strength, so as to lay the foundation for Liu Huangshang's promotion to the position of Minister of War after the coup was successful.

Liu Huangshang lived up to Daheng Xiao's expectations. Not only did he complete the task perfectly, but he also recruited many elite troops from Tengxiang's Four Guards and the Warriors Battalion by means of an aggressive strategy, expanding the strength of Shen Yiguan's side.

Therefore, Liu Huangshang received Shen Yitong's praise. Compared with Xu Fang who did stupid things outside Donghua Gate, it is obvious that Liu Huangshang will have a better future.

But while Liu Huangshang was doing things for Shen Yiguan, he also arranged for his younger brother to do another thing.

After Liu Huangshang made a fortune, of course he would not forget his younger brother who was suffering, so he asked Xiao Daheng to mention his younger brother. Xiao Daheng thought that Liu Huangshang had just made a fortune, and if it was too late to promote his relatives at this time, it would easily lead to trouble. Dissatisfaction with outsiders.

Xiao Daheng gave Liu Huangshang a suggestion or two, and Liu Huangshang agreed, so Xiao Daheng greeted Zhao Shiqing a little bit, and mentioned Liu Huangding who was working as a coolie in the household department.

Zhao Shiqing was very good at being a man, so he quickly transferred Liu Huangding from a miserable position in Qingshui to the position of warehouse manager in the household department, responsible for managing the large grain warehouses next to Chaoyang Gate for the people of the capital and the guards of the capital.

Although it is not a very high position, it is much better than the Qingshui position before. Not only is the office environment better, but the oil and water are also good. The Liu brothers, who have been suffering for a long time, finally see the moon and the moon.

Liu Huangding had always followed Liu Huangshang's lead. When he learned about this before the coup, he was equally shocked. After hearing his brother's arrangement, he was even more shocked. He felt that his brother was crazy.

However, Liu Huangding had no intention of opposing his elder brother. Although he felt it was inappropriate, since it was his elder brother's request, Liu Huangding could only agree.

His father left early, and the two brothers depended on each other for life. The eldest brother was like a father, so of course Liu Huangding obeyed his elder brother in everything.

So on the night of the coup, when Liu Huangshang's two cronies brought the four surviving Xiao Ruxun to Liu Huangding, Liu Huangding was really surprised.

Brother was right, those who deserved to die really didn't deserve to die.

Liu Huangding immediately opened the grain warehouse, hid the four of Xiao Ruxun in the grain bags in the warehouse with his own hands, and told them that they must believe in themselves and their brother Liu Huangshang, and that the brothers would find a way to send them out of the city tomorrow during the day.

Liu Huangshang's arrangement was naturally well-thought-out.

Because Shen has always launched a coup, mobilized a large number of troops into the city, and also mobilized a large number of troops to blockade the gates of the capital, naturally there will be more troops that were not originally in the capital sequence.

These troops are stationed outside the city, and the food they need is of course paid for by the nearby warehouse at Chaoyangmen. In fact, Chaoyangmen is a special city gate for grain to enter and exit. Send it to Chaoyangmen's warehouse for registration and storage, and then transfer it out.

The rate of entry and exit of food here is very fast, especially in this situation.

The grain from the south has not yet been transported, and the grain is only exported but not imported. The speed is very fast. Every hour, a large amount of grain is transported out of the warehouse and sent to the capital or the military camp outside the capital. The grain does not need special approval from Shen Tong, as long as there is a household department Just check with the signature of the Ministry of War.

Immediately after the completion of the coup, Shen Yiguan decided to give some comfort and rewards to the major military towns around the capital to stabilize them. This task was handed over to Xiao Daheng, and Xiao Daheng handed over this task to Liu Huangshang for arrangement.

Of course, this reward included a large amount of grain. Liu Huangshang and Liu Huangding worked together, using their power to hide the truth, and arranged for Xiao Ruxun and the four of them to pack the grain bags on the car to be sent to Liaodong Town, and successfully sent Xiao Ruxun and the other four out of Chaoyang door, and go in the direction of Shanhaiguan.

Of course, it was impossible for Xiao Ruxun and others to go to Liaodong with the car. Liu Huangshang told them to cut through the grain bags and run out at night when the large troops stopped to rest.

Then, it's up to you to choose where to go!

Before leaving, Xiao Ruxun held Liu Huangshang's hand tightly.

"Xiao Ruxun will definitely be rewarded for Liu Gong's kindness, but right now, there is still one thing that needs Liu Gong's help!"

"Please say."

"I have two elder brothers, Xiao Rulan and Xiao Ruhui, who are leading troops in Shaanxi and Ningxia. I am afraid that Shen will always be unfavorable to my two elder brothers. I ask Mr. Liu to help protect my two elder brothers. If so, Xiao Ruxun will never forget it." Grace Liu Gong!"

Liu Huangshang hesitated for a while.

"Liu can't guarantee that this matter can be done, but Mr. Shen Ge has not mentioned Qin Gong's two elder brothers. There should be still time. Liu will do his best. Qin Gong, I, Liu, only do this for My own conscience, the overall situation has been decided, you have nothing to do, now that the court does not know that you have escaped, flee back to Burma, take your family and fly away! Don't come back again!"

Liu Huangshang told Xiao Ruxun so.

Afterwards, Liu Huangshang paid a lot of money to buy four dead men, and directed a scene in which Xiao Ruxun was discovered and then defeated and set himself on fire. He knew that there must be someone who couldn't resist the temptation of the 500 taels of silver, so he didn't have to arrange the fuse himself. of.

The play was quite successful, at least it bluffed Xu Zuo.

As for whether Shen Yiguan believed it, and how to investigate if he didn't believe it, this was what Liu Huangshang needed to worry about.

He has to try his best to arrange more disturbing information to Shen Yiguan, interfere with Shen Yiguan's thinking, so that he cannot accurately find out the truth of the matter, protect his own safety, and at the same time buy Xiao Ruxun some time to go far away.

And how Xiao Ruxun would act was out of his consideration.
