: Each one is more ruthless than the other

Shi Ming has been in a very good mood these days.

He enjoys going to the theater every day, visiting historical places and hanging out at the famous Qinhuai River Fireworks Venue.

The prosperity and extravagance of Nanjing shocked him and made him want to stop.

Not to mention that the Qinhuai brothels are the best in the world, and they are actually not outside the city, but are clustered on the south bank of the Qinhuai River ten miles southeast of the city.

Even across the shallow river, on the north bank is the largest imperial examination room in China - Jiangnan Gongyuan.

On one side is the examination room, on the other side is the entertainment venue, where power and sensuality are deeply intertwined.

This is a glamorous era, and it is also an era that belongs to men.

What makes Shi Ming even happier is that Ruan Dacheng has offered to introduce him to Ma Shiying so that he can get out of his current predicament and have a better future.

His efforts were not in vain, and Shi Ming was naturally in a better mood.

Shi Ming did not take the initiative to ask Ruan Dacheng to introduce him to Ma Shiying. He had his own knowledge and rich experience in clinging.

As for Ruan Dacheng's reputation, or to be more precise, it was a reputation that mainly existed only in Donglin, Shi Ming really didn't care.

Li Ping once said that most of Donglin was not a good person, and most of them harmed the country and the people, and his evaluation by later generations was very average.

Shi Ming remembered it and believed in Li Ping.

And after arriving in Nanjing, Shi Ming also found that Ruan Dacheng was not only easy to make friends with, but also very influential, at least not the energy that a person with a bad reputation should have.

On the contrary, Zuo Liangyu, who had high hopes for Dong Lin, was infamous, while Hou Fangyu was turned into a street rat by Ruan Dacheng.

Shi Ming is more willing to believe in strength and what he can see.

He intuitively felt that he had made the right bet!

However, when Shi Ming got up from the tenderness of a brothel and prepared to have breakfast at three o'clock in the morning, Shi Ming vaguely heard abnormal chattering outside the house that should have been quiet at this time.

Patting the equally tired woman next to her, the woman quickly went out and called a quick-talking boy in with breakfast.

"Li Xiangjun is missing? Liu Rushi and Dong Xiaowan who went out with her yesterday are also missing?"

Shi Ming was a little stunned.

Li Shengcai went to Meixiang Tower every day to disgust Li Xiangjun. Of course Shi Ming knew about it. Although he did not support it, he did not interfere.

With Hou Fangyu's current reputation, there is no question of whether they dare or can offend him.

Besides, they all said goodbye to Zuo Liangyu.

This time when he sent Ruan Dacheng to Nanjing, Shi Ming only brought Li Shengcai with him. He needed Li Shengcai's ability to flatter and serve others, and he also needed to prevent Wang Chengwu and Liu Shixiong from being unable to restrain this increasingly ambitious guy after he left.

Moreover, Shi Ming also planned to take this opportunity to completely remove Li Shengcai's military power, and let Li Shengcai do the work of welcoming people and sending them off, pretending to be powerful and watching people serve food.

Shi Ming still didn't want to give up on Li Shengcai, the driver who had been with him for several years.

What's more, Li Shengcai's abilities in some aspects are indeed what he needs, and they are difficult for others to match.

To achieve great things, no one of the three religions or nine streams can be missing!

Shi Ming knows this well.

And what Li Shengcai did to Li Xiangjun after coming to Nanjing obviously achieved unexpected results.

Ruan Dacheng was very happy when he heard about it and laughed for a long time.

But what happens if Li Xiangjun disappears?

Shi Ming had an unknown premonition in his heart. He was worried that Li Shengcai, an increasingly lawless guy, would make things worse.

After all, it seems that the three beauties of Qin and Huai should not have had trouble together in history! Otherwise, wouldn’t the various vulgar novels of later generations write a lot about this aspect?

Although it didn't really matter what happened to the equally famous Li Xiangjun, and it didn't matter that he had never heard of Dong Xiaowan, who was most likely the most beautiful of the eight beauties of Qinhuai, but the trouble was Liu Rushi.

Behind Liu Rushi is Qian Qianyi, a leader in Donglin and a big boss in the former court. Even if he has no official position or position, he is not someone they can afford to offend.

When he first heard that Liu Rushi was married to Qian Qianyi and knew who Qian Qianyi was, Shi Ming was completely clueless about any evil thoughts. His past life experience made him clearly know who he could offend and who he couldn't offend.

Moreover, Liu Rushi is still a married woman, and touching her is a taboo in this era.

But soon, Shi Ming felt that he had thought too much.

Although Li Shengcai is becoming more and more untrustworthy, and his actions are becoming more and more outrageous and lawless, the guy is still not stupid in his mind, and he should not do such a stupid thing.

Besides, they were unfamiliar with the place in Nanjing, and if they wanted to kidnap three people quietly in full public view, and they were celebrities, Li Shengcai also had to have that ability.

Thinking of this, Shi Ming shook his head and laughed to himself.

But after a while, Shi Ming, who was still feeling uneasy, dressed hastily and decided to go to Meixiang Tower, which was not far away, to check out the situation.

But when he arrived, he quickly found Li Shengcai, who was looking surprised and chatting with others among the many people, including some official officials, surrounding the entrance of the Meixiang Building courtyard.

Seeing Li Shengcai, Shi Ming finally felt relieved.

Even when Shi Ming went to call out Li Shengcai from the crowd, Li Shengcai shouted a few words loudly and indignantly, and then introduced the introduction to Shi Ming and the various rumors he had just heard.

Even on the way back to the temporary rental place, Li Shengcai kept chattering with surprise, curiosity and doubts, and his speculations were so varied that the coachman couldn't help but interject a few words of discussion.

Shi Ming felt more at ease, thinking that history was changing more and more, or that this was the story in history!

But as soon as he returned to the rented courtyard and was about to go in to wash up and tidy up, Li Shengcai suddenly ordered the housekeepers to guard the courtyard door, and then mysteriously followed Shi Ming into the house.

Shi Ming said a little impatiently: "No need to ask, I will definitely take you with me when I bid farewell to Mr. Ruan. You should go wash up and tidy up quickly!"

All the things that need to be done have been done, and Shi Ming plans to return early tomorrow morning with Xu Keran's fleet, which is already gearing up on the Yangtze River outside the city.

"Brother, that's not the case. Brother, I still can't believe it! I have something else to do, and I have to report it to you before I go to Mr. Ruan's place." Li Shengcai whispered, and at the same time he closed the door.

"What's the matter? Tell me quickly."

"I tied up Li Xiangjun and let him sleep last night. I happened to tell Mr. Ruan when I went to say goodbye later. Mr. Ruan must be very happy."

"What?" Shi Ming's head buzzed immediately, but then he cursed in disbelief: "Just you? Don't put gold in your face, it will make us a joke."

Li Shengcai's eyes widened, and he raised his voice as if he had been greatly wronged: "Brother, how could I lie to you? You underestimate me! Not only Li Xiangjun, but also those two women were tied up by me.

Okay. But it’s okay. I also thought that you and Mr. Ruan might not believe it, so I specially brought Li Xiangjun’s underwear and jewelry. One of the jewelry is a love token given by Hou Fangyu.”

As he spoke, Li Shengcai began to take things out of his arms.

Shi Ming's eyes were completely stunned and he didn't react for a long time. It wasn't until Li Shengcai showed off a hood and shook it in front of his eyes that he finally came to his senses.

With a roar, Shi Ming flew up and kicked Li Shengcai to the ground. Then he stepped forward and grabbed Li Shengcai's collar. He waved his fist and cursed: "You're fucking crazy! Do you know that you're already here?"

What did you do? Why didn't you ask me first about such a big thing?"

"Don't fight, don't fight, brother. I'm not doing this just to make Mr. Ruan happy! It's a long story. It's purely accidental. I didn't mean to hide it from you. I wanted to ask for your permission before I did it, but I couldn't find you.

.You can ask me about this matter

All my subordinates who came with me can testify for me. This is a rare opportunity for me, and I really can’t bear to give it up, so I made my own decision." Li Shengcai, who was kicked and howling, endured the pain and shouted hurriedly. Judging from his words, it was obviously early.

Be prepared.

"Purely by chance? A rare opportunity?" Shi Ming was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, yes. Listen to me first, brother." Li Shengcai nodded desperately, and then talked about the cause and effect in a hurry.

Li Shengcai kidnapping Li Xiangjun was really his impromptu idea, and he really wanted to ask Shi Ming for instructions before doing it, but unfortunately no one knew which gentle village Shi Ming was in.

The cause of the incident was that Li Xiangjun, who had hardly gone out since Hou Fangyu's accident, actually left Meixiang Building yesterday.

Li Xiangjun's departure made Li Shengcai overjoyed.

He originally thought that he could finally find a new way to humiliate Li Xiangjun to please Ruan Dacheng.

But unexpectedly, he was so incompetent that he followed him for a long time but didn't come up with any good ideas at all.

And he realized that in Nanjing, the southern power center of the Ming Dynasty, it would most likely be a very dangerous thing for him to molest a woman in public.

Even if this woman's lover is currently the street rat Hou Fangyu.

It wasn't until Li Xiangjun called a taxi to leave the inner city and go to the somewhat remote Mochou Lake in the vast outer city that he suddenly came up with the "genius" idea of ​​kidnapping someone.

As for Liu Rushi and Dong Xiaowan who were with Li Xiangjun, Li Shengcai didn't know who they were at first.

"You don't even know who he is, but you dare to do it. It was just a last-minute idea, and there are so many loopholes, you are going to kill us." Shi Ming became more and more angry, interrupted Li Shengcai directly, and pushed him to the ground.

"What I did was very secretive, no one knew about it. And I used a boat to pull it all out to the Yangtze River. Now I am under strict guard, so I will never be discovered. Today, today I deliberately pretended not to know.

We went to Meixiang Tower again, no one will doubt us." Li Shengcai said as he climbed up, he said with a guarantee.

But Shi Ming clearly didn't believe it and said, "How do you know it's hidden?"

"They didn't go to the outer city, and I didn't think of kidnapping them. The three of them were knocked out from the carriage using ether in a secluded place. No one saw it, and no one was shocked. It was also used to transport them outside the city.

boat, and was directly pulled to our boat on the Yangtze River, and no one knew about the whole process." Li Shengcai first gave a general summary of the history, and then went on to detail all the details of the entire kidnapping process from beginning to end.

After listening patiently with a stern face, Shi Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief, but still said with a worried look: "The matter is over, I will settle the accounts with you later. Think about how to deal with the aftermath first! Forget it if you tie Li Xiangjun, tie Liu

What are you doing like this? There is no airtight wall in the world. Once things are revealed, Li Xiangjun, a prostitute, can always get away with it, but tying up Liu Rushi can cost our lives."

"Brother, the three of them never separated, and there was nothing I could do about it. I had no chance when we returned to the city, so they were all tied up. And I didn't know it was Liu Rushi!" Li Shengcai said with a crying face.

But then, he changed his face and gritted his teeth and said: "I have thought about this. After asking Mr. Ruan for credit, we will kill Shen Jiang tonight, and then all those who participated and knew about it will
