Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 852: Putting the Chips on Master Hu

Mao Xiang felt an itchy scalp at the moment, as if his scalp was about to grow a brain.

He scratched his scalp hard and asked with a sad face.

"So, Lao Si, you're saying that Wu Yong wanted to use you and plot against you, and you took this opportunity to let us brothers escape?"

Zhang Liangyu smiled and nodded. It was obvious that Mao Xiang's guess was correct. That was what he did.

But Mao Xiang scratched his head again, looked around and then asked softly.

"But do you know that this matter has caused a big stir?"

"Now, your majesty, the crown prince, and Mr. Hu are all in my little courtyard, waiting for the result!"

Zhang Liangyu's face darkened slightly when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is fine, but how did Hu Weiyong get involved?"

"I will be able to get a good idea of ​​your Majesty and the Crown Prince's personalities by then, but Hu Weiyong is an exception!"

"Don't let our hard work be ruined by his words."

"He is much more effective in speaking to His Majesty than you, the head of the Imperial Guard."

When Mao Xiang heard this, his face immediately became long.

Without him.

It just hurts my self-esteem a bit.

Zhang Liangyu didn't think about it for too long. At this point, he couldn't afford to think too much.

"Forget it, Lao Mao, let's give it our all!"

"We have calculated and calculated a lot, but now we have come to this point. The rest can only rely on fate."

"If God really doesn't want me, Zhang Liangyu, to live, then I can only rely on you, Old Mao, to protect my family."

"As for myself, I'm afraid I can only take the knife!"

Mao Xiang frowned tightly when he heard this.

"Has it really come to this?"

"How did you plan this?"

"Tell me the whole story!"

"Why do I feel like you've over-calculated this?"

Zhang Liangyu was not angry because of Mao Xiang's distrust. Instead, he explained solemnly.

"Then Wu Yong doesn't know that I have looked up a lot of information about Hu Weiyong's residence because of my interest!"

"So when he brought people to see me in a fake Hufu carriage, he thought I didn't notice it."

"But I just pretended not to understand and let him use the name of Hu Weiyong to get a few proposals from me to transfer other Jinyiwei."

"But what he didn't expect was that right after he left, I was arranging people to investigate him."

"I know more about the bad things he and his master did, as well as the plots of those corrupt scholars behind him in Jiumulin, than he, Wu Yong!"

"But I think this is an opportunity, an opportunity for both of us to escape!"

"Old Mao, you see, I am just a fool who was deceived by my subordinates and participated in it. You are the same."

"Then our guilt is not particularly serious, but this incident has become a big deal. So is it the most appropriate punishment for us to be completely dismissed from office and stripped of our titles?"

"That's what I came here for!"

"Lao Mao, you have always been wise but appear foolish. I believe in you, so we will do whatever you say!"

Mao Xiang touched his chin, looked up at Zhang Liangyu, and then looked outside. He was keenly aware that he had stayed with Zhang Liangyu for a little too long.

So, he didn't have time to think any more.

But this is a matter concerning their lives and property. If they don’t figure it out, they’ll be gambling with their lives!

Mao Xiang gritted his teeth and said, "Let's do as you say!"

"We have come to this point where there is really no other way to go."

"Besides, you'd better not just play dumb. If you are simply deceived by your subordinates and neglect your duties, I'm afraid that we will both be trapped in our own webs!"

"It's better to say that we were just being too eager for success and rushed into this matter. We thought that if we expanded the case a little, we could dig deeper, but in the end, we ended up making things worse."

"That's perfect. You have the record of the people you sent to monitor us. So we are not fooling people. We have really been working on this."

"With this interface, maybe we can get things done!"

Zhang Liangyu nodded silently after hearing this: "Since you said so, I will naturally listen to you."

He stood up and walked to the bookshelf beside him. Without any indication of how he fiddled with it, a secret compartment quietly opened, revealing several thick account books.

Zhang Liangyu picked up the account book and stuffed it directly into Mao Xiang's hand.

"Here are all the things, and there is only this one."

"Take it away!"

"Success or failure depends on this one move. I have already put all my chips on the line!"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Mao Xiang took the stack of account books with a bit of heaviness, flipped through them briefly, and then raised his eyebrows.

"With this thing, we can guarantee that we can save our lives no matter what happens!"

"By the way, have you ever thought about where we will go after leaving Jinyiwei?"

"Do you have any plans?"

"If you have any, tell me in advance, and I will arrange it while I am still in place!"

Zhang Liangyu was about to say something, but when he looked at Mao Xiang in front of him, he suddenly said, "How about you tell me, brother?"

"We brothers all know that you usually come to me for consultation, but when it comes to making a decision, I still have to listen to you."

"This is a huge matter. I think it might be better for me to listen to you as before?"

Mao Xiang did not refuse. He took a deep breath and said softly, "If we can really get rid of this shackle, then we can hide in Hujiazhuang!"

"As long as that gentleman agrees to accept us, then peace will finally be restored for you and my family!"

"Only there can we live in peace!"

Zhang Liangyu looked at Mao Xiang thoughtfully.

"Brother, do you trust Hu Weiyong so much?"

"This is a heavy responsibility entrusted to you by your wife and son. Can Hu Weiyong take on both of us?"

"You know, we won't be able to help him do anything in the Jinyiwei at that time."

Mao Xiang smiled and shook his head when he heard this.

"If you and I were still in office and had contact with him, he would avoid us."

"Only if we are out of office and down and out, and try to befriend him and act pitiful, maybe he will really help us!"

"And only with him can Your Majesty feel at ease!"

Mao Xiang stopped talking here and patted Zhang Liangyu on the shoulder.

"Okay, there are some things I won't tell you. They are Mr. Hu's private affairs, and His Majesty only found out about them today."

"Anyway, just remember it, and we'll just work hard towards this goal!"

"I go first!"

"I have to take all your stuff and take Wu Yong away to give an explanation to His Majesty!"

Zhang Liangyu nodded inexplicably after hearing this, and then bowed deeply.

"Take care, brother. I'm counting on you for everything!"
