Chapter 557
"Dry!"
Early the next morning, it was just dawn.
The delegation of nobles, escorted by many experts, quietly left the city!
The troops were divided into two groups, one taking the official road and the other taking the water route!
Mr. Xu, who was on a high slope outside the city, watched them leave.
A cold smile appeared on his face!
"Wang Qinian!"
"grown ups!"
"The show has begun."
"This is a battle that will determine the future of the entire Suzhou Prefecture noble family!"
"They're gambling with the lives of their entire clan..."
"How can I let them get what they want?"
Hearing this, Wang Qinian smiled calmly and said, "Your Excellency's Death Knell Project can now officially begin."
After he finished speaking, Xu Shan turned around and replied with a smile: "This also means that our situation will become increasingly difficult."
"I'm curious……"
"When a dog is pushed to the limit, it will jump over the wall. When the Duke of Qing is pushed to the limit, he will resort to any means."
After saying that, Xu Shan patted Wang Qinian on the shoulder and added, "Let the brothers have a good rest."
"Play a big one with me."
"We will not refuse even if death is the cost."
Hearing this, Xu Shan looked at the dark clouds covering the sky and said meaningfully, "It will be windy and rainy tonight!"
Duke Qing, who was also on the city wall, watched the two teams leave and said fiercely, "Xu Shan, you bastard..."
"Even His Majesty and the Heavenly Master can't save your life this time."
When Yan Peng finished speaking, Gao Teng stepped forward and added, "Father-in-law, Taoist Baisun has a report."
"He has already used the Yin Veins of Qionglong Mountain to set up the Seven Evil Soul Locking Formation."
"Now, how to lure him into the game is the key!"
"Haha."
Hearing this, Yan Peng laughed out loud.
"Qionglong Mountain is where we smelt tax silver. Do you think Xu Shan will investigate?"
"Yes! But it's accidental."
"Yes! I used to think so too. But after Jia Qingming and Hu Weitao were arrested..."
"I can be sure that Xu Shan will go."
"what?"
"My father-in-law means..."
"How could the two of them withstand the torture of the Imperial Guards? By now, they have probably already passed on the news that we are smelting tax silver and secretly withholding it in the heart of Qionglong Mountain to Xu Shan."
"During the day, there are heavy guards there. In order not to alert the enemy, Xu Shan and the Jinyiwei will definitely not set foot there easily."
"Yes, given Xu Shan's cautious nature, he would definitely scout the area first."
Hearing this, Yan Peng nodded heavily, then sneered, "I have thoughtfully arranged a guide for him."
"Just wait for Xu to fall into the trap!"
The hinterland of Qionglong Mountain is the place where "sheath silver" is cast.
Duke Qing also intercepted the tax silver there.
Such an important crime scene was learned from the participants Hu Tongpan and Jia Tongzhi. In order to bring down the Duke of Qing's Mansion, Xu Shan would definitely rush here in person to investigate and collect evidence!
But now, that place has become a forbidden place on earth.
"To be on the safe side, have Qiu Gongsheng go there and wait for orders."
"With so many experts setting up a trap for Xu Shan, I don't believe he can escape."
After Yan Peng finished his vicious remarks, Gao Teng nodded heavily and said, "As long as Xu Shan is dead, even if the memorial impeaching my father-in-law reaches the capital, there will be no evidence against him."
"By then, if Lady Jia and the others personally put pressure on His Majesty..."
"Even if the Heavenly Master and His Majesty have complaints in their hearts, they have to swallow them for the sake of the overall situation."
"Father-in-law, the timing of your move in this round is just right!"
"Ah……"
Hearing his son-in-law's flattery, Yan Peng sneered and added viciously: "Speaking of this, I have to thank that bastard Xu for his 'equal treatment'."
"He's so arrogant towards everyone."
"This gives us the opportunity to kill the imperial envoy and escape unscathed."
"When the sky is crazy, it rains; when people are crazy, they suffer disasters!"
"Ha ha!"
After the father-in-law and son-in-law laughed, Gao Teng, who had thought of something, reported, "Oh, father-in-law..."
"There's something I need to report to you. According to the plan, Cheng Yunshan, the head of Yongchang Trading Company, should have traveled by sea to his hometown, Ningbo."
"But as for the news from home, there was no response."
