Shaohua is Junqing

Chapter 161

Of course King Hao knew what Dong Liu meant, but he just ignored him on purpose.

"The door of my Prince Hao's Palace is always open to talented people. Master Dong Liu is a talented person that I value. I can provide him with the opportunity and stage to display his talents. In the future, he will be successful and bring honor to his family. He will also have countless wealth. Isn't it wonderful!"

"Everyone wants to have all these things Your Highness mentioned, and we two are no exception. Otherwise, we would not follow Your Highness and work for Your Highness."

"Mr. Miao San, what you said makes sense. How about this? You two can do me another favor. After the task is completed, I will not only reward you handsomely, but also send someone to escort you two out of the city safely. How do you think?"

Miao San thought in his mind that King Hao didn't want to let them go so easily. They hadn't received their previous rewards yet, and it would be a loss if they just left. They might even be forced to flee because of the killing of the royal guards, and without money, they would be unable to move forward.

Just as Dong Liu was about to explode again, Miao San said, "What does Your Highness want us to do?"

"You two, please do this..." King Hao whispered something in their ears.

"It's not difficult to do this, but we have one condition."

"You can ask for any conditions you want."

"Your Highness promised us a reward for assassinating the Royal Guards, but it has not been fulfilled yet. So I beg Your Highness to give us the previous reward first, and then we can talk about the next thing."

"Oh, look at my memory. I have been busy lately and forgot about it. The remuneration is easy to talk about. I will order someone to get the money for the two of them. Come here."

"What are your orders, Your Majesty?"

"Go and invite the chief steward."

"Yes." The servant responded and left.

"Please sit down first, have some tea and calm down."

Soon, the chief steward of Prince Hao's palace arrived.

"Your Majesty, Third Master Miao, Sixth Master Dong."

"Manager Wu, take this king's order to the account office to withdraw two thousand taels of silver and deliver it to the two masters quickly."

"Yes, I will do it tomorrow morning."

"Please rest assured, I will never go back on my word. You two can go back and rest first. I will get it done by tomorrow morning. But you must also do what you promised me."

"Neither we nor Your Highness are people who go back on our word. Once we have promised, we will do it."

"That's great. It's getting late. Please go back now."

"Thank you, Your Highness. Let's go."

After seeing off Miao San and Dong Liu, King Hao sat back on the couch, a smug smile on his face, and drank tea leisurely.

The conversation between Prince Hao, Miao San and Dong Liu was heard clearly by Chu Shengnan and Bai Ruoshu who were lying on the roof. The two of them then left Prince Hao's mansion quietly.

The next day, at the Duwei Mansion.

"If this matter is really related to King Hao, it was he who ordered Dong Liu and Miao San to assassinate the Royal Guards. What was his purpose? And he asked Dong Liu and Miao San to help him with another thing. What was it?" Bai Ruoshu raised his questions in shock.

"We don't know yet, and we can't speculate. The only thing we can do now is to keep a close eye on Prince Hao's mansion and see what he does next. After all, Prince Hao is a member of the royal family, and we need real evidence to punish him."

"Dong Liu and Miao San are the breakthrough points. We will send people to keep a close eye on them. Once they make a move, we will capture them red-handed and see how they can argue."

"It's a good idea, but Dong Liu and Miao San are both from the underworld, and their martial arts are not weak. It will not be easy to capture them."

"If we join forces, with the help of our men, we may not be able to catch them. After all, we have more people, and two fists cannot defeat four hands!"

"So confident." Chu Shengnan admired Bai Ruoshu's fearless momentum.

"That's right. When I'm with you, I'm not afraid of anything. To be honest, Anan, I'm really happy that I can investigate the case with you. If I can solve this case, not only will the emperor appreciate me more, but we will also have a memory that belongs to us, and our relationship will be further improved. Don't you think so, Anan?"

"That's a nice thought. Let's solve the case first."
