Chapter 2172 Begging for mercy
He looked at Qi Shangshu.
It was rare for the two of them to maintain the same opinion, and they did not stop Chu Heng again.
Chu Heng walked out.
Suddenly heard a bang, the vase fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
The guard's frightened voice sounded: "Master Chu, it's because the subordinates didn't pay attention..."
"My lord, there is something wrong with this vase, it seems to be a..." The organ has not finished speaking.
Just heard a click.
The painting behind the screen is separated, revealing a passage connecting the two tearooms.
Xiang Cheng suddenly looked at Chu Heng, and sure enough, seeing his proud expression, his eyes were all cracked. At this moment, he realized that from the beginning to the end, Chu Heng made such a fuss just for this moment!
It was him who was targeted from the beginning.
Instead of what he thought, the opponent wanted to take the opportunity to pull Hu Hua down and let him lose a boost.
Qi Shangshu's eyes also deepened, looking at Chu Heng with fear.
The house is very quiet.
Even Hu Hua's cry became mute at that moment, he couldn't even imagine what he saw now.
In the quiet room, a soft heck sounded.
"Hey, this teahouse is quite interesting. The two rooms are decorated with secret passages, Mr. Qi and Mr. Xiang. You are so lucky that the teahouse you rent is next door. You must not know the way to decorate this teahouse."
"I don't know if the other rooms in the teahouse also have such decorations." Chu Heng seemed to be helping Qi Shangshu and Xiang Cheng to explain, but in fact it further pointed out that the two had a great relationship.
Xiang Cheng and Qi Shangshu have been enemies from the beginning to the end in the court. It would be fine if they reconciled on the surface. If the emperor believes that he and Qi Shangshu are close in private, wouldn't it be clear that the two are in collusion and plotting something? , A guilty conscience.
He only felt that the nerves on his forehead were throbbing, and his face was livid with anger, but he still had to cover up the matter: "Master Chu, if I hadn't brought someone over today, I found out by accident that the lower official still doesn't know about this tea room." There is such a private room setting."
"It's a pity that the shopkeeper is so dishonest in doing things, and he doesn't even explain this kind of thing clearly."
"If it weren't for the fact that I am next door to Mr. Qi, the two of us don't have much contact with each other, otherwise we would have discovered the setting of this house long ago, and the tea room needs to be investigated. I don't know why!" Xiang Cheng snorted harshly.
Immediately asked the guards around him to catch the shopkeeper.
At the same time, he waved his hand and arranged for his men to go to other rooms to check.
The guard came back after a short while, and bowed his hands to Xiangcheng and reported: "My lord, similar institutions have also been checked in other houses."
"Hmph, tell me, the shopkeeper, what is your tea room for!" Xiang Cheng roared angrily, his eyes turned red when he looked at the shopkeeper, wishing he could eat him.
The shopkeeper's heart felt cold, and he instinctively wanted to look at Qi Shangshu.
But from the corner of the eye, he saw that the other party's attitude was cold, and that action seemed to ask him to apologize with death.
"My lord, please forgive me, I don't know where this mechanism is, and I didn't find this mechanism after I became the shopkeeper. This teahouse was bought from someone else before." The shopkeeper cried and complained.
At the same time, he kept kowtowing on the ground, and after a while, his head was bleeding.
"My lord, please forgive me..." One side of the shopkeeper took himself out, pushing everything to ignorance.
