C198 Capture
If placed on a street that was lacking in the capital city, it would definitely seem very wide, but in this street that was lacking in the capital city, there were a few pedestrians that were pushing carts, driving carriages, or carrying loads of money that were rushing by. Although it was still early in the morning, as merchants, they had to get up early and start getting busy.
Ta ta ta …
Although the sound was not loud, it was still very clear in the early morning street. Two forty year old generals came around the corner of the street on horseback, followed by four or five servants.
The military general riding on a jujube red horse turned his head and looked to his side. Another general, who was also dressed in the same military uniform, spoke up, "Brother Huan Qi, do you think we should find a reason to leave after attending the morning assembly today? I reckon that fool Chang Sheng didn't get the money in our family yesterday, but he will definitely go back again today. Although he is a fool, in a day's time, he shouldn't forget about the money that our family owes him! Yesterday, he went to our house to ask for money. This is already shameful enough. If it were to happen again today, then we wouldn't have any place to put our old face. "
"Brother Li Ye, you tell me, we will find a reason to leave home, that's simple, but when we leave home, Chang Sheng will still go and cause trouble, even if we are not here, it will only cause trouble for our family, even if word spreads, we will still lose face!"
"Sigh …" Chen Huanqi let out a long sigh: "Strange, we can only blame that idiot Chang Sheng for having too much luck, and actually allowed him to win. Otherwise, the one who would have a headache right now would have been his father, Chang Qianze. Now, no matter what we say, it's useless, we can only drag it out and keep lying to Chang Sheng, as long as we don't have to pay money, it's fine even if we lose face, I'm afraid, if Chang Sheng tells Chang Qianze about this, we'll be forced to do it! "
"Should be …" Li Ye shook his head upon hearing that, just as he said those words, his gaze suddenly froze. A figure appeared in front of him, blocking his way.
Although the passersby on the street were busy, they stopped when they saw that someone had stopped the two generals who were obviously going to participate in the morning assembly.
Blocking a general from participating in the morning assembly was not something that could be done everyday. When encountering something like this, one had to stay behind and take a look. Moreover, as a trader, one had to pay attention to some important matters. One thing could very well affect their business.
However, this person seemed to be an idiot!
"Oh yeah, I remember now, this person is Chang Sheng, the son of the Prime Minister. I heard that he first bet with the son of the County Prince Zhu and the sons of our officials yesterday, won them, then he won again …"
A peddler who was carrying a carrying pole instantly recognized Chang Sheng, but before he could finish speaking, a person beside him who was pushing a unicycle interrupted him and shouted.
"Wait, what did you say? Chang Sheng made a bet with someone, and he won?" The sturdy man held onto the carriage with both hands and looked at the peddler in front of him. His eyebrows jumped and his face was filled with disbelief: "That Chang Sheng is a ordinary man, he made a bet with someone else, how can he win? I heard you say that the one who made the bet was the young master of the County Prince Zhu family, Zhu Ti. You said Chang Sheng won, could it be that Zhu Ti and the other five are all idiots? If six of them lost to Chang Sheng, the ordinary man, just how foolish would the six be! "
Chen Huanqi and Li Ye's faces immediately turned green, among the six people, there was one that was their son, it was really tragic. Presumably, it would not be long before they return early, and the news of their son and the other six people betting with a fool would spread throughout the capital, even losing to him!
He had truly lost a lot of face this time.
He placed the burden on his shoulders on the ground and said loudly: "You weren't in the capital yesterday, right? Yesterday, the son of the young master of the County Prince Zhu Palace, along with the son of General Li Ye, Li Yang, and the son of General Chen Huanqi, were going to bet with Chang Sheng and let the news of Chang Sheng winning three rounds spread throughout the entire capital. If you don't believe me, you can ask others.
"Is that true?" The man who was pushing the unicycle saw that the other party was telling the truth and that he didn't seem to be lying. His heart was immediately filled with trust. Furthermore, he really wasn't in the capital yesterday.
"It seems like I wasn't in the capital yesterday, so I didn't know what happened. What happened next?"
"What happened next was even more exciting."
Suddenly, another stall owner by the side of the road joined in the conversation. "Chang Sheng was initially tricked by them, but later on he rushed to their door and asked for money. Especially County Prince Zhu, he lost a lot of face. Think about it, a dignified prince was actually killed by a fool to demand revenge, and the most shameful thing was that he was even scared to death, this person was truly disgraced. But in the end, Chang Sheng still did not get the money. "
"Say, do you think Chang Sheng still didn't get the money when he went to collect the debt yesterday? Could he be here to collect his debts? "
The man carrying the carrying pole suddenly reacted, stepping to the side of the road, he looked at Chen Huanqi and Li Ye.
"Constant... Constant... Chang Sheng! "
Li Ye's mouth was agape, his eyes staring straight at Chang Sheng, who was blocking his path.
By the side, when Chen Huanqi heard Li Ye, he shifted his gaze away from Li Ye and instantly turned around. "It really is Chang Sheng!"
Chen Huanqi's eyes were wide open as he looked at Chang Sheng, seemingly trying to discern if the person in front of him was someone who looked very similar to Chang Sheng. He truly could not imagine meeting Chang Sheng here at such an early time!
There was no need to ask, he was definitely here to ask for money. However, the person who owed him the most was clearly the County Prince Zhu, why would he stop and himself if he didn't stop the County Prince Zhu? This fool!
Chen Huanqi was cursing in his heart, but at the side, Li Ye's voice had already sounded: "Chang Sheng, why are you here? Did he come to ask for money? "We have to go to the imperial court now. After the imperial court is over, we can go to the government and talk about our bet, and then we can give you the money!"
Li Ye looked at Chang Sheng with a wide smile, secretly deciding that as long as Chang Sheng was swindled and taken away, he would immediately hide in the army camp. It would be the best if Chang Sheng could follow him back to the army camp.
Chang Sheng was the Prime Minister's son, and the Prime Minister was a civil servant, especially the head of the Reform Department's civil servants. He was like water and fire with the army, as long as Chang Sheng went to the army camp, he would definitely not be able to come out alive! The army was not like the outside, where experts were as common as the clouds!
Yes, I should have long thought of a way to lure Chang Sheng into the army camp after the morning assembly ends!
Li Ye's figure flickered, the disheartening feeling in his heart was swept away. As long as he could deceive Chang Sheng into the army camp, there would be no headaches, and because of this, he might even receive the admiration of the Grand Marshal and the other big shots in the army.
looked at the expression that flashed across Li Ye's eyes, and snorted in his heart. Clearly, Li Ye had thought of something, and may even have some tricks up his sleeve. However, no matter what he did, it was useless.
"You lied to Chang Sheng!" "Chang Sheng went back to ask Small Cause yesterday. Small Cause told him that he doesn't need to look for the officials to bet anything, you guys are shameless, you two lied to Chang Sheng!"
Chang Sheng's face revealed an expression of anger: "Chang Sheng hates it when others lie to Chang Sheng the most, hate it when others scold Chang Sheng the most, and hate it when others lock Chang Sheng up inside the Quiet Room! You lied to Chang Sheng, Chang Sheng will lock you up in Blacky's room, scolded you all every day, and lied to you all every day! "
"What?" Chang Sheng, you want to lock us up? " Hearing Chang Sheng's words, Chen Huanqi was startled, then laughed out loud: "Haha, Chang Sheng, do you know what we're going to do now? We are going to the morning assembly. If you dare to stop us from joining, then you are dead. If we don't participate in the morning assembly, His Majesty will definitely know the reason why we didn't participate. At that time, not only you, but your father Chang Qianze will also be implicated. "
Hearing that, Li Ye's hand that was holding onto the rein suddenly shook. Listening to Chen Huanqi's words, he wanted to give up resisting, and let Chang Sheng directly capture him, and then use the emperor's hand to deal with Chang Sheng.
cursed loudly in his heart as he was confused. Who doesn't know that the Emperor supports Chang Qianze, supports reform, and conflicts with them? The people the Emperor wants to deal with are definitely them and not Chang Sheng.
Since you, Chen Huanqi, want to be captured by Chang Sheng, then just let him capture you. Since this daddy has already thought of a way to deal with Chang Sheng, this daddy will not care!
He immediately turned around and ran. He had heard yesterday that Chang Sheng had taken care of three Innate Level 7 experts by himself, although he was an Innate Ranker, he was only one person. Chen Huanqi was an Innate Ranker, so he obviously wanted to wait for his death.
Just as Li Ye was about to turn around, a voice came out from behind.
"Chang Sheng doesn't care, Chang Sheng doesn't care, Chang Sheng wants to capture you guys!"
Chang Sheng shouted loudly. Both of his legs collapsed on the ground and his body instantly shot forward like an arrow leaving the bow, like lightning. He reached out his hands and grabbed Chen Huanqi, who had not planned on resisting at all.
