Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1408

"As a result, the capital was under strict surveillance all night, with the Jinyiwei and the Five City Garrison patrolling the streets everywhere."

At this point, the scholar's tone became somewhat helpless.

"To avoid alerting them, I specifically ordered them not to come back, and to go into hiding after they had finished their business."

"If there is an emergency, you must report to me before I can send someone to the yamen. If nothing happens, just wait patiently."

"After I get home from my business trip, give me a detailed report. So far, no one has come, so there's no need to worry too much!"

After hearing the scholar's words, the man in the straw raincoat remained silent for a moment before speaking:

“I know you’re very confident, but have you considered that the Embroidered Uniform Guard might also take action if they get information from Mai Zhide?”

"If they send people to protect Huang Miaoguan and Mei Jie, wouldn't the people you send be like lambs to the slaughter?"

As soon as the man in the straw raincoat finished speaking, the scholar slowly shook his head and then retorted.

"It's still unknown who the sheep and the tiger are! The men I sent out are not something the Embroidered Uniform Guard can handle."

"They are all suicide soldiers, and they are all trained from childhood to be puppets who only know how to obey orders and kill people."

"I can tell you definitively that even if they encounter and fight the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the Embroidered Uniform Guard will be the ones who die in the end!"

This was the first time the scholar had explicitly stated information about his subordinates, and it had to be admitted that it was very convincing.

The man in the straw raincoat believed the scholar's description, so after hearing his words, his anxiety was instantly relieved.

Although he was still a little curious about where these people came from, the man in the straw raincoat knew that he shouldn't ask questions he shouldn't ask.

After silently putting his mind at ease, he decided not to stay any longer and immediately bid farewell to the scholar.

The scholar did not stop him, or rather, he hoped the man in the straw raincoat would leave quickly, since the situation was still somewhat tense.

The fewer times they meet, the less risk they face from suspicion.

However, what the two did not know was that just when they felt relieved, things did not develop in the direction the scholar had expected.

All whispers were kept under wraps, not a single sound escaped, which is why the scholar was able to work so peacefully in the government office.

However, the plan against him has already been laid out, and all that's left is to wait quietly for him to walk right into the trap.

As time slowly passed, the sun finally began to slowly set in the west, and the scholar finished his work for the day and went home.

Because he was preoccupied with the tasks he had been assigned, he immediately left the Ministry of Revenue as soon as he finished his assignment and hurried home.

Everything was the same as usual, except that the rain was quite heavy and had been continuous.

Nothing unusual happened even after the scholar returned home, which put the scholar at ease.

So as soon as he returned, he immediately summoned two servants from his household, as if he had something to instruct them on.

But after the servants followed him into the room and closed the door tightly, the scholar immediately asked a question.

"Give me a detailed account of how the things I asked you to do last night went!"

Before the scholar closed the door and spoke, the two servants behaved just like ordinary servants.

But once the door was closed tightly and they heard the scholar's words, the two servants seemed to have instantly become different people.

The feeling of inferiority completely vanished, replaced by coldness, like a machine devoid of any emotion.

Even when answering the scholar's questions, his tone was gloomy.

"Huang Miaoguan and Mei Jie have been dealt with, but just as we were about to make our move, the Embroidered Uniform Guard arrived."
