"Old General Chen?"
Dong Nianzhi was inexplicably puzzled by Chen Pinyun's sudden words. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Inner ghost?
What inner ghost?
Chen Pinyun didn't say anything, just handed over the things in his hand directly to Dong Nianzhi.
Dong Nianzhi took the thing a little inexplicably, picked up a piece of paper from it and looked at it twice, with a huge look on his face.
He threw the box on the table with a "bang", and quickly rummaged through it with both hands, and the more he looked at it, the more ugly his face became, and when all the contents were spread on the table, he still had the calm look on his face.
Dong Nianzhi's face turned pale, and the account book with small characters in his hand smashed on the table, making a muffled sound.
"What the hell is going on, how can these things fall into the hands of others?!"
There are not only evidence of their previous corruption and bribery, but also many secrets that only close people can know, whether it is sending people to intercept Feng Qizhou, or bribing courtiers, and the details of gifts given when encircling the ministers of the court, and even Xiao Xianhong's private mining and salt sales, all of which are recorded in the book.
These things, not to mention other people, even Dong Nianzhi himself may not know all of them, how could they fall into the hands of others now, and they were sent to them as a "gift"?
Chen Pinyun saw the appearance of the two of them, and said in a deep voice: "I already felt strange before, what happened recently is too much of a coincidence, since the flood of the Canghe River, Lou Yongkang has been held by people, His Royal Highness is controlled everywhere, no matter what we do, but there are always people who can be one step ahead of us, not only ruining our arrangements several times, but even repeatedly making His Royal Highness angry." ā
"This was the case when Lou Yongkang had an accident before, and then he intercepted and killed Feng Qizhou, and even more so in the turmoil of the victims, as if someone was lying dormant in the shadows and staring at us like a snake and scorpion, every step we take, we will be dissolved, and the person in the dark is more like having the ability to predict the future, and every time it will ruin our affairs. ā
"I wondered how someone could be so powerful, but it turned out that there was something wrong with the people around us. ā
Xiao Xianhong had a gloomy face, Chen Pinyun is his maternal ancestor, the biological father of the queen mother, the Chen family has long been branded by him, and will never betray him, and in addition to Chen Pinyun and the Chen family, there is only the Dong family that he relies on the most.
Xiao Xianhong looked at Dong Nianzhi with a smile.
Dong Nianzhi's expression changed, and he said urgently: "Does Your Highness suspect Weichen? Weichen's sister has already married into His Highness's mansion, in the eyes of outsiders, Weichen and the Dong family have long been one with His Highness, His Highness's honor and disgrace determine the rise and fall of the Dong family, if His Highness loses power, how can Weichen be better, how can Weichen betray His Highness?"
Seeing Dong Nianzhi's annoyed expression, Chen Pinyun hurriedly spoke on the side to reassure: "General Dong doesn't need to be annoyed, you are loyal to His Royal Highness, Your Highness knows, how can he doubt you." ā
After finishing speaking, he looked at Xiao Xianhong and said: "Your Highness, this matter will never be done by General Dong, the matter of minerals and private salt has always been handled by the eldest son of the old minister, General Dong does not know the details at all, how can he tell others? This matter must only be done by the closest person next to you, Your Highness think about it carefully, who else knows about it except you tell the old minister and General Dong about these things?"
"That person must be very close to His Highness, and he has His Highness's trust, and he can often go in and out of His Highness's mansion, so that he can have the opportunity to get these things, and he can know these secret things. ā
Xiao Xianhong frowned tightly when he listened to Chen Pinyun's words, filtering everyone around him one by one in his mind, and all the things that had happened recently were also turning in his heart one by one.
He has never trusted people easily, but he can be trusted, and he has the opportunity to touch these things can be counted on one hand, those secret things he has always placed in a secret pavilion in his study, even Chen Pinyun and Dong Nianzhi don't know where they are, only a few close attendants next to him can know, but those close attendants have followed him since childhood, and it is impossible to betray, except for them, the study is forbidden, when he is not in the mansion, who can easily approach?
The faces of those guards kept flashing in his heart, Xiao Xianhong stared at the wooden box, suddenly looked stunned, and suddenly remembered something, about two months ago, he had seen a person near the study, and the situation was still vivid.
- Zishang, why are you here?
- Your Highness, the minister has something important to return to His Highness, and the people in the house said that His Highness is in the study, so the minister looked for him, but he didn't expect to see His Highness before he passed...
He remembered that before this, Gu Yang had also broken into the study because of an emergency, and at that time he had restored the dark pavilion to its original state, and Gu Yang did not have the slightest abnormality on his face, so he didn't ask, but now that he thinks about it, Gu Yang is the most knowledgeable person, how could he rashly break into the study for no reason, and that day, the people in the house knew that he was in the back compartment, how could they tell Gu Yang that he was in the study?
Xiao Xianhong flipped over the things on the table, the green tendons on his forehead were exposed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Gu!
Outside the chamber of the Great Prince's Mansion, Gu Yang, dressed in a blue brocade robe, stood in the crowd, listening to those people talking anxiously or worriedly about today's affairs in the court.
"You say, what should I do this time, Your Majesty seems to be really angry with His Highness, not only smashed His Highness, but even all the errands in His Highness's hands were handed over to the four princes, if His Highness can't find a way to regain the emperor's heart, I'm afraid it will be difficult in the future. ā
"Yes, now even General Chen is suspected by His Majesty, that Lou Yongkang is like a sharp thorn, like a fish in the throat, although the Lou family has been appeased, but it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be repeated in the future, if they can't find a way to get rid of the Lou family, they will poke out the big Lou sooner or later. ā
"It's easy to say, except for the Lou family, how can you get rid of it? Now the Lou family is full of people from the Four Princes and King Xiang inside and out, not to mention that it is impossible to do it without alarming others, let's just say that Lou Yongkang himself, he is a dove poison at this time, and whoever moves is unlucky. ā
If Lou Yongkang was directly poisoned before, it would have been fine, but now he is half dead, and the evidence in his hands has already been handed over to others, once something happens to Lou Yongkang or anyone in the Lou family, I am afraid that the first unlucky one is the eldest prince.
At this time, not only could they not kill Lou Yongkang, but they had to do their best to save Lou Yongkang's life, prevent the four princes and others from attacking the Lou family and blaming the eldest prince, otherwise they would die in the end, and the Lou family would not end well, but the eldest prince would not be much better.
