Chapter 393 This one is more ruthless than them
Minxiu stood at the door of the study waiting.
After a while, the door opened and the people inside let her in.
After entering, she looked at the masked man sitting at the top and saluted respectfully.
"Meet the master!"
The man spoke in a very young voice, "How is the thing I asked you to do going?"
Minxiu replied: "Failed."
Then she recounted the conversation she had with Qiao Ye that day.
I should have reported it on the same day, but my master was not in the capital for the past few days and only came back today.
After listening to this, the fifth leader frowned and said, "This Qiao Ye is really difficult to deal with."
Originally, I thought it would be easier to start with Qiao Ye than Lu Shao.
But now it seems even more difficult.
"In that case, you should start with Lu Shao."
"Then instigate Hu Xueyi and Wu Zhiheng to take the initiative to deal with Qiao Ye."
"Let's focus on Hu Xueyi, as he is more impulsive and arrogant."
"You can hint and instigate him to complain to his sister in the palace."
"Then use that concubine's hand to deal with Qiao Ye."
Although Hu Xueyi is not that talented, he is the younger brother of the one in the palace and is usually the most doted on.
He emphasized, "Something has to happen in the capital recently."
These days, they have been spreading rumors that are detrimental to the emperor's reputation.
They have always known that they want to overthrow the current Da Yin.
Not only must the officials' families and the palace in the capital be in chaos, but the emperor must also lose the support of the people.
Therefore, word was spread that the war on the border was very expensive and the soldiers were treated harshly.
Spread rumors that the soldiers were fighting on the border and were not well fed or clothed.
Recently, they were fighting with the enemy for a city, and Qiao Yu pushed many soldiers to charge and die.
Not only did he want to ruin the reputation of the emperor and Qiao Yu, he also wanted to instigate the people to evade military service.
There were also rumors that the court wanted to increase taxes.
Anyway, do whatever it takes to ruin the reputation of the court.
The rumors have been spread outside, but we can’t let them go in Beijing.
If the Hu family deals with Qiao Ye directly, they will inevitably confront Princess Yong'an and the forces behind her.
Besides, Qiao Ye is not an easy person to deal with.
Since Qiao Ye refused to cooperate, they took advantage of him and took the initiative to attack the Hu family.
Then let the Hu family take action first. The outcome will be similar anyway.
With Hu Xueyi's brain, he would fall into the trap as long as Min Xiu gave him a hint.
Min Xiu was also very confident in herself. She bowed and said, "Yes!"
Very good, she also resented Qiao Ye’s impoliteness before.
I originally wanted to teach Qiao Ye a lesson, and now it’s just right to use Hu Xueyi.
The master is still smart.
Two more days passed.
Hu Xueyi and Wu Zhiheng had someone secretly monitor Min Xiu and investigate who she was associated with behind her back.
Under the guidance of Lu Shao's men, both spies discovered it.
Min Xiu has a complicated relationship with the owner of the largest theater in Beijing.
What's more, that person should be the one who instructed Min Xiu to plot against them.
Before they could make a move, Min Xiu took the initiative to make an appointment with Hu Xueyi.
Because it was the next day, Hu Xueyi was smart enough to check with Wu Zhiheng.
When he learned that Min Xiu did not make an appointment with Wu Zhiheng, he felt something was wrong.
So he chose a restaurant to meet, which was owned by Song Shaoyang.
There are two private rooms here that are different from each other, that is, there is a house within a house.
Only people in their department know this.
He asked Min Xiu to meet him in one of the private rooms in the restaurant.
And asked Wu Zhiheng to hide in the private room in advance.
He and Wu Zhiheng arrived at the restaurant early.
Before entering the private room, I met Song Shaoyang.
Song Shaoyang was surprised to see Hu Xueyi and Wu Zhiheng appear together.
When did the relationship between these two people become so good?
Hu Xueyi and the others also saw him and greeted him, "Brother Yang/Mr. Song."
Hu Xueyi's sister was dependent on the fifth prince's mother in the palace.
Therefore, the interests of the Hu family and the Song family have long been tied together.
Although the two did not get along often, Hu Xueyi respected Song Shaoyang very much.
Song Shaoyang glanced at the two of them and asked, "What are you doing?"
Hu Xueyi looked embarrassed and said, "I have something to do."
Song Shaoyang asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
"Of course, if it's inconvenient to say, you don't have to say it."
Hu Xueyi wants to get to know Song Shaoyang better.
So before Wu Zhiheng could stop him, he said, "We were fooled by a woman. Let's come and meet her today."
"It is also related to what the Fifth Prince ordered before."
Hearing this, Song Shaoyang immediately became interested.
"Come on, go to the private room and talk to me."
He recently went out of town and just came back these two days.
Hu Xueyi smiled and said, "Okay."
Wu Zhiheng followed behind the two of them and was speechless about Hu Xueyi.
If Song Shaoyang knew about this embarrassing thing that was not done well, it would mean that the Fifth Prince would also know about it.
But it’s hard to stop it.
After entering the private room, Hu Xueyi told them what Min Xiu had planned against them and what Qiao Ye had told them.
Song Shaoyang is much smarter than the other two.
He tapped his hands with his fan, "It seems that there is indeed a big problem with this Min Xiu."
Then he smiled and praised, "As expected of the woman I like, Qiao Ye is really smart and clever."
"This method of giving someone a taste of their own medicine is probably something only she could come up with."
Hu Xueyi and Wu Zhiheng: "..."
Can you say this in front of them?
Judging from Song Shaoyang's appearance, he really likes Qiao Ye.
This one is even more ruthless than them.
They just wanted to sow discord between Qiao Ye and Lu Shao, but this guy wanted to take Lu Shao's wife away!
However, these preferences and tastes are really a bit incomprehensible to them.
If they were hiding from Qiao Ye, they would not have had time to do so, but Song Shaoyang was going to come to him on his own initiative.
It's really hard for them to describe.
Hu Xueyi smiled awkwardly: "Brother Yang, your hobby is a bit overwhelming for us."
Song Shaoyang glanced at him and said, "You don't understand."
"It's more interesting to conquer a woman like Qiao Ye."
"Wouldn't it be a great sense of accomplishment if I let her enter my Song Mansion and treat me with great care?"
Hearing him say this, Hu Xueyi and Wu Zhiheng agreed, "It is indeed a sense of accomplishment."
But it felt like the chances of success were slim, but both of them were smart enough not to pour cold water on it.
Song Shaoyang didn't say much.
He changed the subject, looked at Hu Xueyi and asked, "You said Min Xiu only dated you?"
"Yes!" Hu Xueyi nodded and asked, "Brother Yang, what do you think Min Xiu wants to do by asking me out alone?"
In the Fifth Prince's faction, Song Shaoyang can be considered as half a military advisor.
Song Shaoyang looked at Hu Xueyi, then glanced at the silent Wu Zhiheng.
He said, “Maybe there is some purpose.”
"When we meet later, don't take the initiative to scold her, and tell Min Xiu what Qiao Ye told you."
"First, pretend to ask her how the seduction of Lu Shao went."
"Let her take the initiative to tell you the purpose of meeting you."
Otherwise, with Hu Xueyi's temper, if I didn't remind him, he would probably scold Min Xiu as soon as they met.
It has to be said that Song Shaoyang knows Hu Xueyi very well.
Hu Xueyi had been holding a grudge and was planning to attack Min Xiu the next time he saw her.
Then they forced the other party to tell them why they wanted to cooperate with Qiao Ye, and instigated Qiao Ye to deal with them.
But after listening to Song Shaoyang's words, I suddenly felt that it made sense.
He also wanted to see if Min Xiu had any other plans for looking for him today.
Then he asked, "Why did she only ask me out and not Guan Yongbo?"
Min Xiu plotted against Lu Shao and his wife, but he and Wu Zhiheng were the ones behind it.
You only looked for him, do you think he is more powerful?
Song Shaoyang originally didn't want to be so straightforward.
But Hu Xueyi looked puzzled, even a little complacent.
Then he said directly: "I think it's easier to plot against you."
Hu Xueyi: “…”
I should have known not to ask. He doesn't like to hear this.
But if it was true, then Min Xiu was treating him like a fool?
So angry!
Song Shaoyang thought for a moment and said, "I won't leave for a while. I'll go into the inner room and listen to what she wants to do."
The Hu family is tied to them, and he can't just watch Hu Xueyi being used by others.
I also want to see if Min Xiu really has other purposes.
If they really want to harm Hu Xueyi, then he has to take care of it.
It is not a good thing for them to have such an enemy lurking behind them, so they have to take the opportunity to dig him out.
