Chapter 843 The private cannon workshop incident, Mei Changsu entertained guests

Zhuo Dingfeng failed in the assassination again, and even suffered minor injuries. Although Xie Yu was very unhappy, he could only comfort Zhuo Dingfeng.

Even Zhuo Dingfeng, the most powerful subordinate under his command, couldn't do this. He knew that if he wanted to solve this matter by killing people, he would not be successful. Now he only hoped that the things Shen Zhui investigated would not be too many, even if it caused trouble to His Majesty There, the prince can also be less responsible.

Mei Changsu considered for a long time, and finally made a decision, not going to tell Yu Wang about the private cannon workshop.

After Zhou Chen learned of Mei Changsu's decision, he also agreed with it.

"Xiao Shu, you did the right thing. King Yu's character is not worthy of trust. The people around the private cannon workshop are so innocent. We can't let them lose their lives because of Wang Yu's selfishness."

Mei Changsu smiled wryly and said, "To tell you the truth, I actually had a little hesitation. Now that I think about it, I'm really sorry for my father's teaching. We want to achieve our goals, but we can't involve innocent people. life."

"However, I still don't feel at ease. We can find out about the private cannon workshop. It's hard to guarantee that the people under King Yu won't find out. Although Qin Banruo, the red-sleeved recruit, has no great wisdom, he has been lurking in the capital for a long time after all. Many high-ranking officials There are people from the Hua people lurking in the homes of the nobles, and the gray kite under King Yu's command also has some skills."

"So in order to prevent King Yu from knowing about the private cannon workshop and having such thoughts, we must resolve this matter as soon as possible. Just as you said, find a way to transfer the black fire in the private cannon workshop."

Zhou Chen said: "The private artillery workshop is the property of the prince. We have no one there. It is not easy to get rid of such a large amount of black fire without anyone noticing."

Mei Changsu said in a deep voice: "Let's try it first, if it doesn't work, then we can only choose to attack by force and expose this matter thoroughly, as long as it doesn't cause too many casualties, I will let Li Gang deal with this matter." They will do it, and you will be responsible for meeting them secretly when the time comes."

Zhou Chen has no objection, those people in Private Cannon Workshop are much worse than the elite of Jiang Zuo League.

Zhou Chen and Mei Changsu acted very quickly. After making a decision, they immediately summoned their staff.

But things went much smoother than they imagined. They successfully bought off the people who worked in the private cannon workshop, and transferred more than half of the black fire without anyone noticing, and the price they paid was only a small less money.

It's just that although their actions were already very fast, just as Mei Changsu was worried, as soon as Shen Zhui's memorial was handed over, King Yu had already received the news before Emperor Liang saw it.

Overjoyed, King Yu immediately prepared to cooperate with Shen Zhui to impeach the prince, but Qin Banruo gave him an idea to make things worse.

So Yu Wang became ruthless and decided to take the big one, so he sent someone secretly to the private cannon workshop, pretending to be a staff member, and took the opportunity to light the private cannon workshop on fire.

A large amount of black fire piled up together, and once ignited, it exploded quickly, blowing up the private cannon workshop.

But fortunately, Zhou Chen and the others have already smuggled away most of the black fire, so the private cannon workshop exploded. The people around did not suffer much casualties except that they had no time to escape.

But even so, dozens of people died in the explosion, and many people were seriously injured. It immediately caused a huge sensation in the capital, and spread to Emperor Liang's ears as quickly as possible.

Emperor Liang was furious when he found out about this incident. He was not angry because of those people who died, but more because this was his capital, and someone dared to make such a big incident under his nose, making him feel that his Authority is challenged, and that's why they get angry.

He called the prince to the front, and severely reprimanded him, but the prince was also prepared, and directly pushed the matter to his subordinates, saying that he didn't know anything about the private cannon workshop.

Although Emperor Liang was angry, he still had feelings for the prince. He knew that what the prince said was nonsense, but in front of Shen Zhui, King Yu and others, he still took the initiative to excuse the prince.

Although Yu Wang and Shen Zhui were very unwilling, there was no real evidence to prove that they were related to the prince, and Emperor Liang was partial to him, so he could not cure the prince of the crime.

But of course Emperor Liang would not let the prince go so easily, he already knew exactly what was going on, so he punished the prince to confine him in the East Palace for two months, and he was not allowed to leave the East Palace unless he was summoned.

After dismissing King Yu, Shen Zhui and others, Emperor Liang called the crown prince to the side hall and reprimanded him for a while. The crown prince knelt down and bowed his head, not daring to speak, and could only listen to the training.

…………

Time flies, and more than a month has passed.

Years later, Mei Changsu remodeled his Su residence, remodeling one side from the inside to the outside, and at the same time bought the house next to it.

Of course, other renovations were done to deceive the public, and the real purpose was to create an underground passage to connect back to back Prince Jing's Mansion.

Today is Mei Changsu's first banquet after the completion of the new house, so Meng Zhi came to the Su residence early.

"Xiaoshu, tsk tsk, I really can't tell. After you remodeled, I can't recognize it at all. Is this the house I introduced to you at the beginning? The remodeling is so good."

Meng Zhi has already walked around the Su Mansion and looked it over. The Su Mansion has not only become bigger, but also more spectacular, countless times stronger than before.

Mei Changsu said with a smile, "This remodeling did take some thought, but after the remodeling, it will definitely be more comfortable to live in."

"Indeed, I haven't been here for a long time. This time I came to see it, it is really much better than before."

Meng Zhi praised a few words again and again, and then said: "Today is the first time you have hosted a banquet since you came to the capital, right?"

Mei Changsu said as he walked, "That's right, the newly built courtyard can be bustling if everyone comes together."

Meng Zhi asked with a smile: "I am really flattered to be invited by Jiangzuo Meilang."

Mei Changsu also smiled and said, "Commander Meng, the guests haven't arrived yet, so you acted with me first?"

Meng Zhi laughed a few times, saw Mei Changsu's tables and stools in the gazebo, and asked curiously, "How many people did you invite today, so many places?"

Mei Changsu said in detail: "Of course there are Jingrui and Yujin, as well as the princess, Xia Dong, and Xiaochen."

"Xiaochen is here too. This kid is very powerful now. Even I am no longer his opponent. These days I have to practice hard and try to beat him."

Meng Zhi knew that Nie Feng had returned, and also knew Zhou Chen's true identity, and even had a fight with Zhou Chen.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that he, the second master in Langya's master list, lost to Zhou Chen.

Mei Changsu said: "It's not that easy to defeat Xiaochen."

"But even with Xiaochen and me, there are only six people, and Nie Feng can't show up. Why do you put so many?"

"The princess will bring Mu Qing along, and Sister Dong will bring Xia Chun along."

Meng Zhi was startled and said, "Xia Chun is coming too?"

He knew that Emperor Liang had arranged for the Xuanjing Division to investigate the murder case of the previous Great Inner Prison, and Xia Chun and Xia Dong were the main force.

Mei Changsu nodded, "Not just them, there is another person. Although I didn't invite him, I believe he will come too."

"Who?"

Mei Changsu smiled mysteriously, but did not answer.

Zhou Chen often came to Su's mansion, so he could go in directly without reporting. When he reached the gazebo, he saw that someone had arrived before him.

"Brother Yu, you're finally here. I was thinking of calling you along the way, but Yujin is really good at dawdling."

Xiao Jingrui was the first to stand up when he saw Zhou Chen approaching, and said happily.

Before Zhou Chen could speak, Yan Yujin called out first, "Jingrui, how are you arranging me? I'm already fast, okay?"

"Jingrui, Yujin."

Zhou Chen responded with a smile: "I don't live far away, and it's only a few steps away."

After greeting them, he greeted Meng Zhi and the Mu family siblings.

When it was Xia Dong and Xia Chun's turn, he also kept smiling.

On the other hand, Xia Chun saw Zhou Chen, stood up, clasped his fists, and performed a quack etiquette.

"I've heard about your Excellency Gong Ziyu's name a long time ago, and it's a great honor to meet you today."

Zhou Chen replied politely: "Master Xia, you are being polite. I just have a little reputation in the Jianghu. Compared with Master Xia, it is far behind. It is absurd."

At this moment, Mei Changsu said: "Everyone is Su's friend, you can come to Su's place, it is to give Su's face, please sit down, there is another distinguished guest, I need to greet him personally, everyone please rest for a while. "

With that said, he walked outside.

Zhou Chen sat cross-legged on the cushion next to Xia Dong. As soon as Mu Qing saw Zhou Chen sitting cross-legged, he immediately prepared to follow suit, changing from kneeling to sitting cross-legged.

But as soon as he made a move, he was scolded by Mu Nihuang next to him: "Sit down, be a little more disciplined."

Mu Qing's face was bitter, and he whispered: "Brother Yu, don't you sit like that, you don't talk about him, you have to train me."

Mu Nihuang glared at him, he quickly shut his mouth, and glanced at Zhou Chen, but found that Zhou Chen ignored him at all.

The people present, Meng Zhi, Zhou Chen, Xia Dong and Mu Nihuang were all accompanying to perform, and Xia Chun also had his own purpose in coming here, and if he wanted to say his sincere congratulations, probably only Xiao Jingrui, Yan Yujin, Mu Qing Most of them just come to join in the fun.

Xia Chun kept looking at Zhou Chen, seeing that Mei Changsu hadn't come back yet, he couldn't help it.

"Brother Chen has been in the world for several years, and he has already ranked seventh in the top ten masters of the Langya list. He is really a young talent with extraordinary talent."

Zhou Chen said modestly: "Master Xia is ridiculously praised, and I am ashamed. There are countless hidden masters in the world, but many people don't care about false names, so I was lucky enough to be on the Langya list; just like Master Xia's master, hanging Xia Shouzun of Jingsi has unfathomable skill, which is admirable."

Xia Chun laughed and said: "Brother Chen is too modest. I heard that Brother Chen easily defeated Mr. Jiangdong more than half a year ago. Now his martial arts must have improved a lot. It shouldn't be a problem to break into the top five, right?"

"No, no."

"By the way, I heard that Brother Chen's swordsmanship is superb and his reputation is well-known in the world. I wonder when I can see it?"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of all the people present changed slightly, Xia Dong took the opportunity to wink at Zhou Chen,

Zhou Chen understood, knowing that Xia Chun suspected that he had something to do with the murder of the inner prison years ago, and came to test him.

"Master Xia was just joking. It's not because of my swordsmanship that I was able to be on the list of top ten masters. My swordsmanship is sparse and ordinary, so I can't make it to the top."

"Brother Chen..."

Xia Chun wanted to try again, but at this moment Mei Changsu brought someone over and interrupted his further questioning.

Following behind Mei Changsu were King Yu and a woman. When everyone saw King Yu, they all stood up and saluted.

With a kind smile on his face, King Yu signaled that everyone should not be restrained, he just came to the banquet just like everyone else.

Under Mei Changsu's hospitality, everyone sat down. Mei Changsu arranged King Yu's seat next to him to show respect, while Qin Banruo set up a small table and knelt behind King Yu. side.

In fact, Qin Banruo is not qualified to participate in such a banquet, but if she is brought by King Yu, even if others are dissatisfied, it is hard to say anything.

The servants who had already been in place served everyone wine and food one by one. Everyone was talking and laughing, but it was also enjoyable.

Another kind of wine was served, and Yan Yujin couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This is the ninth kind of wine, right? Brother Su's dishes are nothing more than that. The most wonderful thing is that each dish is paired with a different wine. What’s more, it has a unique flavor.”

King Yu smiled and said, "Yujin, you are a wine lover, Mr. Su has so many kinds of wine, can you name them?"

Yan Yujin picked up his wine glass and said, "This, it should be Qiu Yuebai."

Mei Changsu said to King Yu, "Yujin is a wine drinker, so it's not surprising to guess."

Then he looked at Xiao Jingrui who seemed to have something on his mind: "Jingrui, how many kinds can you taste?"

Xiao Jingrui raised his head and said, "I can't, I only taste three kinds, one is Zhaodianhong, one is Zhuyeqing, and the other is Sangluo wine."

Yan Yujin next to him looked shocked: "No way, can you taste Zhaodianhong, Zhuyeqing and Sangluo?"

Xiao Jingrui explained: "During the Chinese New Year, brother Qingyao gave Xie Bi a small altar. I tasted a little, so I remember it; as for Zhuyeqing and Sangluo wine, it was when I was traveling with Brother Yu, and Brother Yu invited me to drink it. for drink."

Yan Yujin's eyes glared immediately: "You guys didn't call me when you drank Zhaodianhong? I don't care about Xie Bi anymore, and Brother Yu, you are too disrespectful. Let Jingrui drink Zhuyeqing and Sangluo wine , didn’t invite me.”

Zhou Chen said with a smile: "Yujin, what I'm talking about, when I just bought the mansion in the capital, you went to my place a lot, and a lot of good wine from me went into your stomach."

"Haha, that's true. Brother Yu is all about loyalty and generosity." Yan Yujin gave Zhou Chen a thumbs up.

Mei Changsu saw that the atmosphere was good, and said with a smile: "Speaking of good wine, I have to mention my good friend Luo Sha, he is also a good wine man, and several of the good wines we drank before were made by him. He came out, and he is also the person who knows the most about wine I have ever seen."

As soon as these words came out, many people present were surprised.

Yan Yujin asked even more curiously: "Brother Su, the Luo Sha you are talking about, could it be the deputy suzerain of your Jiangzuo League, the Luo Sha who ranks fifth in the Langya master list? Is he also a good drinker?"

"Yes, that's him. He's also a good drinker, Yujin. If you are together, you must have a lot of common topics."

"Brother Su, when you put it that way, I really want to get to know this brother Rakshasa."

Mei Changsu smiled and said, "It's a pity he's not in the capital, otherwise I'd definitely introduce you to him."

Xia Chun's eyes flickered a few times. Luo Sha had always been the target of his suspicion, but he was not sure whether Luo Sha was in the capital. From Mei Changsu's tone, Luo Sha was really not in the capital?
