The Peerless Demon of Martial Arts

Chapter 717 Shrewd Duke Wen
"Hehe, Brother Liu, I miss you very much."

The two chatted happily in the room, enjoying the dance of the maids. It took about an hour before Eunuch Chen chatted about Liu Mo: "In the past six months, your brother has been doing well, and it can be said that the wind is going smoothly. Duke Wen takes care of you so much. You can be one of the four Dukes."

Liu Mo got angry: "I'm nothing, I'm just Duke Wen's dog. Compared to Liu Tun back then, it's not worth mentioning at all."

"Oh? Dude still wants to be the owner of the East Factory?"

Liu Mo felt that he had said the wrong thing: "No, no, where did I have that idea, I just said it casually."

"Hehe." Eunuch Chen seemed to look at him with insight: "Brother, you don't have to be humble. With your talent, it's no big deal for me to be a factory owner. But Mr. Wen, he is favored by the emperor." I will always hold this seat, and it is impossible to go down."

"You want to persuade me to harm Duke Wen? That can't be done. Anyway, he promoted me, otherwise I'm still a handyman. I can drink and eat with you here, watch women dance, what else can I ask for. If you are a brother, don’t take this kind of words seriously in the future, people will talk too much, if they are overheard, and violate the family law, Duke Wen will be punished.” After speaking, Liu Mo giggled, he really drunk.

Eunuch Chen said: "You don't need rights, but you have to think about your own future. You can't be a eunuch for a lifetime. You have no children under your knees. When you get old, no one will die. It's like a waste snack. Let the master do whatever you want." Once you throw it away, it will be broken. So, we have to think about the future."

"The future? In this place, how can you think about the future? How can you make money?"

Eunuch Chen smiled slightly: "Of course, otherwise, why would I come to see your brother? Have you heard about the emperor leaving the palace?"

Liu Mo was startled by these words: "Don't! You can't talk nonsense like this, who told you that the emperor is out of the palace."

"You don't need to hide it from me. Who doesn't know about the civil and military affairs of the court." Eunuch Chen poured wine for him: "I'm just curious. What does it have to do with me if the emperor doesn't leave the palace? But, the rumors about the emperor now But it's flying all over the sky, if you can buy the exact news, it will be a sky-high price."

As he said that, Liu Mo's eyes lit up: "What price can I get?"

The opponent extended a slap.

"Ten taels?"

"Hehe, what a petty person, the emperor's news is only worth 50 taels?"

"500 taels." After speaking, seeing the other party's ghostly smile, Liu Mo's eyes turned green: "Could it be 5000 taels of silver?"

"It's 5000 taels of gold."

Liu Mo seemed to swallow a huge lemon, and his throat was blocked: "It's not that evil, isn't it just a piece of news, who can afford this price. Besides, the news of the emperor leaving the palace, isn't it all gone?" If it spreads, who will buy it?"

Eunuch Chen said: "Your brother, I only know one thing, not the other. The news now is just rumors and there is no way to verify whether the emperor has gone out or not. The minister sees whether the emperor is in retreat, that is the real skill. The 5000 taels of gold is worth it."

The more he said the more outrageous, Liu Mo shook his head: "You should spare me, I don't have the guts."

"This is 5000 taels of gold, enough for you to use for a lifetime." Eunuch Chen kept telling him: "With these 5000 taels of gold, do you still need to be an eunuch here? Go out and buy some land Zhaizi, as an outsider, live the rest of your life comfortably."

Liu Mo said nervously: "But, Duke Wen is very strict about this matter."

Eunuch Chen sneaked closer and whispered in his ear: "You know, replace all the people who follow Duke Wen the day after tomorrow, and replace them with your cronies, and then the matter will be settled."

"It's that simple?"

"It's as simple as that. At that time, ministers will come to break into the palace. You let your people stay outside the gate of the palace and only bring a few people in. At that time, people from Xichang will block Wen Gong. In this way, You don’t have to take responsibility if you are under the protection of people from the West Factory. Who is it?"

Liu Mo probably heard that Cui Gong was behind the incident.The people in Xichang are rich, but it is really not easy to take out 5000 taels of gold all at once.

"I want to see things first."

Eunuch Chen put his hand on his lap: "I have already sent someone to send the gold to your mansion in the capital. Don't worry if I handle this kind of thing."

In the entire imperial court, only Duke Wen had the hearts of Li Tianxing.

In the evening, when he came back from the outside, he faintly felt that something was wrong, because the guards in the palace had changed, and they were not the ones who were dedicated to serving the emperor before.The cronies who serve the emperor, how can they change at will, and he can only be responsible for this matter.Duke Wen asked his subordinates what was going on.

The subordinate said: "When we return to Duke Wen, the Ouchi Guard Commander feels unwell, so he goes home to recuperate, and Deputy Commander Ma will take charge of it for the time being."

Everything must be done flawlessly.

Duke Wen ordered Vice Commander Ma to be called here: "What's going on, why did you replace him?"

Deputy Commander Ma said: "Returning to Duke Wen's words, another group of people don't listen to the subordinates, and the subordinates are not easy to use. Therefore, the subordinates..."

"Fart!" Wen Gong smashed his glass: "Who are you, say such inappropriate words. You are a fifth-rank lieutenant general, what right do you have to transfer the guards without authorization. Replace everyone immediately, something went wrong , watch your head."

Deputy Commander Ma replied: "Grand Wen, those former people are dissatisfied with the dispatch of their subordinates, and they have already resigned."

"What?! You..."

Duke Wen saw that the atmosphere here was not right. Looking at the four governors, especially Liu Mo, his legs were trembling slightly. He hadn't seen this kind of situation for a long, long time.

"Liu Mo, what happened to your leg?"

"It's okay." Liu Mo replied.

Duke Wen changed to a new cup of tea and drank it with gusto: "Among you, many of you were promoted by me, so you should be grateful for following me, and don't eat inside and out. As for me, I was promoted by the emperor, and I have won the favor of others." Wan Nian Ji, I will naturally be loyal to the emperor. Do you think so?"

The crowd nodded one after another: "Remember the teachings of Duke Wen."

"But if this is the case, why are people still dissatisfied with me? Did I offend you?" Duke Wen said to Liu Mo, "Liu Mo, come out and talk about it."

Liu Mo said in a daze, "Ah": "Me? It's hard for my subordinates to say. It all depends on what Wen Gong says."

"Then what did you do to offend me? Huh?"

"Back... If you go back to Duke Wen, no."

Wen Gong took a dagger and approached him: "Little Liu, you have been with me for half a year, and I have always been kind to you. You don't usually lie, but whenever you lie, it will be obvious to others. Yes. I'll give you a chance to tell what you did."

Liu Mo is just Liu Mo, a money-grubbing villain, and he can't take on any big things, so he frightened lightly, and then knelt down: "Wen Gong! Wen Gong! Tell the little ones, tell all the little ones!"
