Chapter 557 Threat
The alley in front of Tsing Yi Tower is the famous Baibu Alley. At least in Xuanpingfang, where Tsing Yi Tower is located, everyone knows it.
Without the permission of Tsing Yi Tower, ordinary people would not even have the courage to approach Tsing Yi Tower.
In the night, a carriage drove slowly into Baibu Alley. There was no one around. The carriage did not stop until it reached the main entrance of Qingyi Building. No one in the car got out, but the coachman shouted loudly at the door.
Said: "Master Xiao Qin, the young minister of Dali Temple, invites Mr. Xu Changyin and Mr. Xu to come out and talk about it."
When the carriage drove into the alley, Xu Changyin, who was in a high-rise building, could see it clearly.
Only when the carriage stopped in front of the main gate did he come back to his senses. In the quiet night, the coachman's voice came over clearly. Xu Changyin was silent for a moment, and finally came down from upstairs.
Many members of the Tsing Yi Gang in the courtyard were alarmed, and when they saw Xu Changyin walking out, they all bowed.
"Open the door!"
Xu Changyin put his hands behind his back and gave instructions calmly.
The main door opened, and Xu Changyin still walked out with his hands behind his back, and walked straight to the carriage. The coachman had already opened the curtain, Xu Changyin hesitated, and finally got on the carriage and entered the carriage.
The carriage was very simple, the carriage was not spacious, and it was dark.
He saw a young official sitting in the carriage. He just sighed and sat down on the side without saying anything.
"The people you sent are all dead." Qin Xiao said calmly: "The corpses are all in Dali Temple. At least many people have recognized them. One of them is Song Xu from your Qingyi Hall. Mr. Li San from your Qingyi Hall personally identified them.
, and also confirmed that it was Song Xu, and confessed that Song Xu was a confidant of yours. In Qingyi Hall, except for the dead Jiang Qianxing, you were the only one who could control Song Xu. Even Song Xu turned a deaf ear to Li Sanye's orders.
"
"I have no choice." Xu Changyin was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Master Xiao Qin wants to kill everyone. If he wants to survive, he can only take risks. But you can believe that I have no intention of harming her. I know that Master Xiao Qin and
We have a close relationship with Gu Qiuniang, and only if we have Gu Qiuniang in our hands can Mr. Xiao Qin be willing to talk to me."
Qin Xiao smiled lightly and said: "It seems that your Qingyi Hall's method is too simple. Jiang Qianxing used this trick last time. You didn't accept the lesson and repeated the same trick. Don't you think you are stupid?"
"Sometimes the stupidest way is often the most effective way." Xu Changyin looked very calm: "If we succeed tonight, our meeting will be a different story."
"To be able to let you choose such a stupid method also shows that you are really at the end of your rope and you are forced to have no choice." Qin Xiao smiled and said: "I know that there is a noble person behind Qingyi Hall. I am only surprised that at this time,
, the noble person behind you never thought of helping you?"
Xu Changyin straightened his clothes, smiled softly and said: "Your Excellency, you know better than me. A spittoon is a spittoon. It has some uses when it is needed. Who will pay the price to protect a spittoon when it is not needed? A noble person is
Noble people, they can get anything. Sometimes, if they want to get something, their hands will inevitably be stained with smelly feces. Of course, these feces cannot stain the hands of noble people. There must be someone to do these things." Raising his hand to caress.
Xu Dao said: "If one day these excrements get on the noble's hands, the noble will throw them away without hesitation."
"So you understand this truth." Qin Xiao nodded slightly.
Xu Changyin looked at Qin Xiao in the darkness and asked: "Master Xiao Qin is very worried about Qingyi Hall and wants to get rid of it quickly. Isn't it really for the people of Kyoto to punish evil and promote good?"
"I'm not that great." Qin Xiao said with a smile: "If you really want to tell me the reason, it's actually very simple, because since I entered Beijing, Qingyi Hall has stood against me. What you have done, I really
You have no interest, but if you are my enemy, I can't let you go." Leaning in the carriage, he said leisurely: "Someone taught me that if someone is kind to me, then I must keep it in my heart, no matter what.
No matter what the cost, we must look for opportunities to repay our kindness. Similarly, if there are enemies, we must find ways to remove them without any mercy."
“It is indeed a wise saying!”
"The existence of enemies is a threat to yourself." Qin Xiao sighed: "You can't predict when they will cause you big trouble, so when you have the chance, you must deal with them quickly. I am now
With Dali Temple in hand, there is a chance to solve this matter, how could I miss it?"
"If it were me, I wouldn't miss it."
"Of course, the most important thing is that I also know how to kill chickens to scare monkeys." Qin Xiao smiled and said: "Many people know that your Qingyi Hall and I are incompatible. If I drive you all out, more people will know that as long as you are with me,
I will definitely not be merciful when making enemies. In this case, many people may not be willing to become my enemies." He changed to a very comfortable position and sat down, still smiling: "The saint promoted me to Dali Temple, I guess.
I cannot leave Kyoto in a short period of time, so I must serve as an official in Kyoto. If I get rid of Qingyi Hall, the people in the city will definitely be very happy, and my reputation will be very good. I will not only get rid of my enemies, but also gain a good reputation. You
Say why don’t I do this?”
Xu Changyin sighed: "Lord Xiao Qin seems to have forgotten the Taiping Society. After the Qingyi Hall disappears, the Taiping Society will be the only one in Kyoto. The territory of the Qingyi Hall will be quickly occupied by the Taiping Society, and even many people from the Qingyi Hall will defect to the Taiping Society.
Under the Taipinghui, everything in Kyoto's gambling houses, music halls, shops, waterways, etc. will fall under the control of the Taipinghui. If the Tsing Yi Hall survives, it can also check and balance the Taiping Hui. Master Xiao Qin let the Tsing Yi Hall disappear, and the Taiping Hui will
If the power is stronger, the people of Kyoto will probably suffer even more in the future." He smiled faintly and said: "Of course, by getting rid of the Qingyi Hall and allowing the Taiping Society to take advantage of the opportunity to dominate the family, Mr. Xiao Qin can also use this to please the Prime Minister Xiahou. It can be said that
It’s like killing multiple birds with one stone.”
"You are wrong." Qin Xiao shook his head: "Xu Changyin, I thought you still had some sense, but now it seems that you are much stupider than I thought. Since Qingyi Hall has disappeared, do you think Taiping will really
Can one family be the sole leader?"
Xu Changyin frowned.
"The existence of the Taiping Society is to check and balance the Qingyi Hall. If the Qingyi Hall disappears, the greatest role of the Taiping Society will also disappear." Qin Xiao looked at Xu Changyin: "The Taiping Society and the Qingyi Hall, the two major market gangs, can survive in Kyoto for many years.
Just because of the existence of the other party, don't you understand this truth? Qingyi Hall is a spittoon in the eyes of nobles, and the same is true in the eyes of the Taiping Society. In comparison, Wu Tianbao is much smarter than you.
"
"Wu Tianbao?"
"Before the Buzhuang incident, I had already found Wu Tianbao privately and told him that he wanted to clean up Qingyi Hall." Qin Xiao said slowly: "Wu Tianbao was very sensible and offered to help, and he talked with me for nearly two hours.
.”
Xu Changyin didn't speak, knowing that if Qin Xiao wanted to say something, he would say it even if he didn't speak.
.
"Once Qingyi Hall falls, the Taiping Society will be in danger." Qin Xiao said: "Wu Tianbao guessed this because he knew very well that without Qingyi Hall, the nobleman in the palace would never look at the Taiping Society.
One family is the only one in Kyoto.”
"What is he going to do?" Xu Changyin couldn't help but ask.
Qin Xiao smiled lightly and said: "Of course I won't tell you how he did it. You will never guess what a smart person does."
Xu Changyin was shocked, and then felt angry, knowing that Qin Xiao was deliberately teasing him.
"It's almost dawn." Qin Xiao suddenly said: "You may not know that the intersections around Qingyi Tower have been guarded by people from Dali Temple. As soon as dawn breaks, they will rush to Qingyi Tower to arrest people. You send people
Breaking into the Shaoqing's house with the intention of kidnapping and killing officials is no longer a crime of extortion. It is absolutely easy to charge of treason." He sighed and said: "I heard that you are a scholar. Since you are a scholar, you must have something.
No matter how much face you have, even if you die, you still have to be clean."
Xu Changyin's hands and feet were cold and he knew that Qin Xiao was not an alarmist.
"If it hadn't been for what happened tonight, you might have stayed in prison for decades, and I might not have really killed you." Qin Xiao's eyes were extremely sharp: "But you chose the stupidest path, the path you chose.
, you should bear the consequences yourself. Xu Changyin, I am not Lu Junzhong, and I don’t like torture, so if you are willing to leave cleanly, I can give you a chance."
"Leave cleanly?" A smile appeared on Xu Changyin's lips: "Thank you so much, Mr. Xiao Qin."
"Don't thank me in a hurry." Qin Xiao smiled and said, "I came to see you first tonight just because I want to ask you for help with something?"
Xu Changyin said in astonishment: "I...can I help you?" He felt it was unbelievable.
"Qingyi Hall has existed in Kyoto for ten years." Qin Xiao looked at Xu Changyin and said: "In the past ten years, the person in charge of the punishment in Kyoto is the Ministry of Punishment. Of course, there is also the Kyoto Prefecture under the Ministry of Punishment. I have been thinking that for so many years, the two
The Imperial Criminal Office and your Tsing Yi Hall are in peace, and even the Kyoto Prefecture’s Yamen turned around and left when they saw the people in the Tsing Yi Hall. Is it really just because they are afraid of the backers behind you? Isn’t there some other reason for this? "
Xu Changyin was not stupid this time, and sneered: "Master Xiao Qin came here tonight to find evidence of crimes from the Ministry of Punishment and the Kyoto Prefecture?"
"Qingyi Hall is gone, and my biggest enemy is the Ministry of Punishment." Qin Xiao said straightforwardly: "Since Kyoto Prefecture follows the Ministry of Punishment, I will naturally include Kyoto Prefecture in the list of enemies. I thought about it for a long time and felt that Qingyi Prefecture
It is inevitable that the court will bring some benefits to the Ministry of Justice and the Kyoto Prefecture in private. If this is indeed the case, you should still have some incriminating evidence in your hand. It is of no use if it is left in your hands. Why not hand it over to me instead of wasting the incriminating evidence."
"Qin Xiao, you are really vicious." Xu Changyin said coldly: "You want to put Qing Yi Tang to death, but you want Qing Yi Tang to give you evidence of your crime. Are you crazy?"
Qin Xiao chuckled and said: "If you can't hand over evidence of your crime, you are crazy. Xu Changyin, you have a wife and a concubine who gave you a son and two daughters. In addition, you have a brother who also eats at Qingyi Hall. Could it be you?
Do you really want them to be charged with treason and get stabbed in the neck with you?"
