Chapter 590 Leisure Chess
Chapter 590 Idle Chess
Surrounded by a group of special forces soldiers, Ajige and his men escorted Li Decheng toward the south gate. Along the way, Ajige repeatedly lamented that he had truly misunderstood Wang Wenzhou. Such a loyal and righteous brother, and he had just beaten him up. As the elder brother, he had really gone too far.
Wang Wenzhou's sedan chair followed far behind Ajige and his entourage.
Inside the sedan chair, Mu Yiyun knelt naked opposite Wang Wenzhou, looking at him with teary eyes.
Liu Rushi and Sheng Lan sat on either side of Wang Wenzhou; the other babies didn't follow. As for Empress Zhou, she was so ashamed after being ridiculed by Chen Yuanyuan that she fled back to the Tower of No Return.
Wang Wenzhou pointed at Mu Yiyun and cursed, "You ungrateful wretch! It's all because of you! If you hadn't castrated Dorgon, would that idiot Ajige have come to Hanshan to kill me? You have no idea, I almost died at Ajige's hands today!"
Mu Yiyun said, feeling wronged, "Husband, I know I was wrong!"
Mu Yiyun felt wronged. "You rascal! You were the one who told them that you would only believe them if they castrated Dorgon. They did it, and then you blame them for what happened."
Sheng Lan said softly, "Husband, don't be angry. To be honest, you can't blame Mu Yiyun. Sister, please get up."
Liu Rushi rolled her eyes at Sheng Lan, thinking, "You little bitch, you think you're so smart, always playing the good guy."
Wang Wenzhou shook his head with a wry smile and said irritably, "Get up!"
"Thank you, my husband!" Mu Yiyun quickly got up and threw herself into Wang Wenzhou's arms.
Wang Wenzhou thought for a moment and then said, "You ungrateful wretch, didn't you bring some trusted confidants from the Qing Dynasty?"
"Yes, yes!" Mu Yiyun nodded and replied, "I brought more than thirty people with me. They are absolutely loyal to me, so you can rest assured, my husband."
Wang Wenzhou continued, "I'll give you another 400 men. You'll be responsible for training them and then setting up a counter-espionage department specifically to target those damned Tartars. Damn it! Liaodong is over a thousand miles from Hanshan, yet they can send so many people to cause trouble here. I'm really scared!"
Mu Yiyun smiled slightly and quickly said, "Husband, don't worry, I will definitely not let the Tartars infiltrate Hanshan again."
"Good girl!" Wang Wenzhou gently stroked Mu Yiyun's hair.
Liu Rushi asked softly, "Wang Wenzhou, what do you want to do with Ajige? Let him go?"
Wang Wenzhou said irritably, "Hanshan isn't a place he can come and go as he pleases. I plan to arrest him; perhaps he'll come in handy someday. Ajige and Dorgon are brothers; with Ajige in hand, Dorgon will definitely be hesitant to send anyone to cause trouble again."
Wang Wenzhou thought for a moment and said, "Lazy Lan, when we get back, you're in charge of writing a letter and sending it to Dorgon to explain to him that his castration was really not my idea. The mastermind behind it is either Zhu Youjian or Huang Taiji. Also, tell Dorgon that his daughter and his brother are guests in Hanshan, and I will treat them well."
"Understood." Sheng Lan nodded.
At this moment, the sedan chair arrived outside the south gate.
Li Hechen knocked on the sedan chair and said, "My lord, Ajige and the others have already boarded the carriage."
Wang Wenzhou nodded and said with a smile, "Okay! I'll go down now."
"Babies, babies, don't get out of the sedan chair. It would be bad if something happened!" Wang Wenzhou said before getting out of the sedan chair.
Wang Wenzhou led his men to the carriage, waved his hand, and several guards carried over a silver box.
Wang Wenzhou cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Hero, let's settle this with money and the person. Please release Lord Li."
Ajige nodded gratefully to Wang Wenzhou, and with a wave of his hand, two of his men escorted Li Decheng off the carriage.
Li Decheng was in so much pain that he was covered in sweat, and when he walked, he walked with a waddling gait, somewhat like a duck.
After the exchange was completed, Ajige cupped his hands in gratitude to Wang Wenzhou and said, "Brother, you have shown me great kindness. I will repay you in the future. Farewell!"
"Strike!" Ajige's men lashed the horse with their whips, but the carriage remained motionless.
"Your Highness! Something's wrong! The carriage has been tampered with!" the man shouted hurriedly.
Ajige's expression immediately changed.
Wang Wenzhou smiled slightly, waved his hand, and ordered, "Go! Kill everyone except Ajige on the spot!"
The special forces swarmed forward, and in no time, Ajige's four trusted men were killed on the spot, while Ajige himself was captured alive.
Ajige struggled and cursed, "Wang Wenzhou, you mad dog, you're untrustworthy! You damned liar!"
"Haha!" Wang Wenzhou laughed loudly, "Fuck your mother! You damned Tartar, do you think I keep my word? It was that bastard Dorgon who tricked me first. If you want to settle accounts, go find Dorgon! Lock him up in prison, treat him well, don't let him starve to death, he might be useful in the future."
"Yes!" Several soldiers took Ajige away.
Wang Wenzhou quickly went to Li Decheng's side and asked with concern, "Lord Li, are you alright? I see you're injured too. Why don't you write a memorial to the Emperor and go back to your hometown to recuperate?"
Li Decheng suffered in silence, unable to express his grievances.
"Hmph!" Li Decheng snorted coldly, saying irritably, "What's this little injury? I'm going back to the yamen!"
Li Decheng flicked his sleeves, stomped his feet, and walked away without looking back. "Mad dog Wang Wenzhou, you won't let me leave Hanshan! As long as I have a breath left, I will not leave Hanshan, and I will absolutely not let you do as you please!"
Ajige was taken into prison. Looking at the cell door, Ajige was on the verge of tears. How could he have been so stupid and fallen for Wang Wenzhou's trick?
Meanwhile, in a secret dungeon of the Eastern Depot, Lin Qing was also looking at the cell door, his brows furrowed in thought.
After Lin Qing carried out the terrorist attack in Beijing, Wang Chengen ordered the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Eastern Depot to arrest the perpetrator.
Because none of Lin Qing's men were native Beijingers and spoke with different accents, Lin Qing was exposed and captured alive by the Eastern Depot.
What Lin Qing couldn't understand was that, over such a long period of time, he had only been interrogated once. After learning his name, the chief eunuch who had come to interrogate him left, and no one had come to interrogate him since.
Moreover, he was well-fed and well-treated in prison every day. Even more bizarrely, a while ago, the prison guards brought in two beautiful young women. These two women were not talkative, but they took care of his daily needs and, of course, slept with him at night.
Lin Qing was completely bewildered, unable to figure out what was going on. He thought this might be the Ming Dynasty trying to persuade him to surrender. For Lin Qing, whether he surrendered to the Ming Dynasty or served the Qing Dynasty, it didn't matter, as long as he could kill Wang Wenzhou and avenge himself. But so much time had passed, and no one had come to talk to him about surrendering.
The reason Lin Qing received five-star hotel treatment in prison was because Zhu Youjian had a backup plan. Zhu Youjian had already ascertained Lin Qing's identity and was aware of the feud between Lin Qing and Wang Wenzhou.
Now that Wang Wenzhou has turned Hanshan into a state within a state, Zhu Youjian still needs Wang Wenzhou. He plans to send Lin Qing after Wang Wenzhou has dealt with the Red Barbarians in Fujian. If Lin Qing kills Wang Wenzhou, that would be a good thing. If he fails, Wang Wenzhou won't blame Zhu Youjian for the assassination attempt when he sees Lin Qing.
