Chapter 451: Furious! Strange Bingzhou Army!
Inside Wenchuanxuan.
Ye Chen sat on the first floor, drinking and eating calmly.
He keenly noticed that there was something wrong with the servant who went upstairs, so he sent someone to keep an eye on him while he just waited quietly for news.
After reaching the corridor on the second floor, the servant was walking cautiously.
His footsteps were very light, as if he was afraid of disturbing something.
After walking for a long time, he finally turned into a secluded private room.
After entering the private room, he carefully handed several bamboo slips to the three people in the room.
"My three lords, this is the latest news."
After saying this, the servant retreated out the door.
The three people in the private room were Xinyong Marquis Bai Hetao, Chengwu Marquis Yu Xiu and Ning'an Marquis Zhang Dejing.
Among them, Bai Hetao is the oldest, with a calm face and eyes that reveal the passage of time.
Yu Xiuzhen is in his middle age, with a look of urgency and anxiety between his brows.
Zhang Dejing is relatively young, but also steady.
After the three of them looked at the bamboo slips, their expressions varied.
Bai Hetao and Zhang Dejing narrowed their eyes slightly and fell into thought.
A hint of excitement flashed in Yu Xiu's eyes, and he spoke first.
"Oh, those soldiers in Bingzhou have already agreed to follow our orders. The emperor is organizing this imperial examination to ruin the future of our descendants. If that's the case, we can't just sit there and wait for death. If we're going to have fun, let's do something big!"
Hearing this, Zhang Dejing frowned.
"No, if we play it too big, we'll all be implicated. That's not good. Even that old fox Yang Dechang refused to participate, so we should be even more cautious."
When Yu Xiu heard this, he became a little angry.
"Be cautious? If we continue to be cautious, we will lose everything! The emperor is so aggressive. If we don't resist, he will force us into a desperate situation sooner or later."
Zhang Dejing was not to be outdone.
"You're just impulsive, you won't accomplish anything great."
"You, coward!"
The two were tit for tat.
Bai Hetao suddenly sighed.
He gently put down the bamboo slips and said slowly, "Stop arguing, Dejing, you are right. This matter does require caution.
But Yu Xiu is not wrong. We have indeed been forced into a corner with no way out.
The imperial examination system that the emperor wanted to implement was undoubtedly a huge blow to us, the aristocratic families.
If we don't take some extraordinary measures, I'm afraid we will find it difficult to survive in the future.
Therefore, we must take extraordinary measures, but we cannot take blind risks. We must be fully prepared to ensure that things will not involve us."
Hearing this, the other two looked at Bai Hetao.
"Xin Yonghou, then tell me, what should we do?"
Yu Xiu asked
Hearing this, Bai Hetao pondered for a moment.
"We can let the Bingzhou soldiers act naturally and disrupt the imperial examination. We can use the promise of helping them rescue their former master as an excuse to get them to fight for their lives. Before they act, we can secretly give them a slow-acting poison. At the same time, we must closely monitor the emperor's movements and be prepared to respond to any possible situation."
"The three of us were not allowed to show up from the beginning to the end."
".."
Bai Hetao lowered his voice.
The three of them were discussing, but they didn't notice that the person outside the door had heard everything they said.
Soon, the conversation between the three people reached Ye Chen's ears.
Ye Chen’s face immediately darkened.
These three marquises are really bold.
Yang Dechang doesn't plan to take action, so how dare they do so?
Ye Chen was also very curious about the Bingzhou soldiers mentioned by the three people.
The entire capital, including the surrounding areas, is full of his spies, and the Bingzhou army should have withdrawn.
Where did the Bingzhou soldiers come from?
"Qiu'er, have the people from the Supervisory Office follow these three people and find out the details about the Bingzhou soldiers they mentioned."
Ye Chen finally gave the order.
Shen Qiu bowed slightly, without a trace of emotion on his cold face.
"According to the order."
Shen Qiu's voice was very soft, and then he quickly gave orders to the people around him.
Those imperial guards disguised themselves as civilians, and many of them entered Wenchuanxuan at this time.
Ye Chen did not stay any longer, but walked out of the tavern and got on the carriage.
Knowing that the opponent is not Yang Dechang.
Ye Chen was no longer very interested.
As long as we find those Bingzhou soldiers and generals and capture them all in one fell swoop, these people will not be able to cause any waves.
"Go to Tong Le."
When the carriage started to move forward, Ye Chen suddenly said.
Since it was already past noon, he wanted to go sit with Tong Le.
Shen Qiu gave him a meaningful look and went to pass on the message.
The carriage quickly turned and headed towards Tong's Fish Shop.
However, when the carriage arrived at Tong's Fish Shop, Ye Chen lifted the curtain, only to find that the fish shop was closed.
"Qiu'er, send someone to ask."
Ye Chen frowned slightly and gave the order.
Why close the door in broad daylight?
Shen Qiu immediately sent someone to investigate the situation.
Soon, the people from the Supervisory Office found out the news. It turned out that Tong Le's cooking was liked by a young master, who wanted to invite her to cook at his house, but Tong Le did not agree. The young master then used his power and status to force Tong Le.
In the end, Tong Le just cooked for the young master at a nearby place called Yuelai Tavern.
I heard that the owner of this tavern is quite familiar with Mo Rou and Tong Le.
"Let's go to that tavern and have a look."
The more Ye Chen thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he gave the order.
The carriage immediately turned and headed towards Yuelai Tavern.
But as soon as he got outside the tavern, Ye Chen heard a scream.
His face suddenly darkened, and the screams were mixed with the woman's sobs and the sound of clothes being pulled.
Ye Chen’s heart tightened.
He immediately rushed off the carriage and ran towards the tavern.
But outside the tavern, he saw the tavern owner being surrounded and beaten by a group of black-clad servants.
The boss had been beaten until his head was bleeding and he curled up in a ball holding his head, but the doors and windows of Yuelai Tavern were closed.
The woman's sobbing and the sound of clothes being pulled came from inside the tavern.
Ye Chen saw what happened at a glance.
Suddenly he was furious!
