Chapter 38: The Trap
The wind rustled through the leaves, and under the poplar trees, Zhao Duoze and Xiao Ruihua looked at each other, and neither of them would take a step back.
"Does the prince know what will happen if I hand over the human and physical evidence to Lord Xu? I have no enmity with Lord Xu, the teacher at the time of the examination in Jiangsu, Zhejiang Township was a classmate and friend of Lord Xu, and they have been friends for more than ten years. Lord Xu has been governing in Jiangnan for many years, and the people are obedient and praised. In this world, many people lament the loyalty of the Yang family, but more people have no grudges against Lord Xu. โ
"You want to say you can give me a chance to regret it, don't you?"
Zhao Duoze interrupted Xiao Ruihua's words, not without hesitation in his heart, but also weighing whether it was worth it, his fists were clenched tightly, if he regretted it, wouldn't it make Xiao Rui look down on him?
Turning around, Zhao Duoze walked towards the gate of Xiangguo Temple without hesitation, staying there, he was very likely to regret it, it was better to be out of sight and worry-free.
"Lord Shizi, please stay."
Xiao Ruihua raised his voice behind Zhao Duoze and said: "You win, please follow me into the meditation room, and I will let you see someone." โ
Zhao Duoze paused for a while, held back his joy, turned his body with a straight face, and followed Xiao Ruihua into the meditation room.
Xiao Zhuohua had already used decoction on the injured, and also performed her unique acupuncture skills, when she heard the footsteps, she saw that it was her brother, wiped the sweat on her forehead and said: "After a while, the gods will be difficult to save." โ
"Thank you, little sister."
"Prince of Qin?"
Xiao Zhuohua saw who the man who came in with his brother was, why was he here?
"Little sister will go out first, I have something to say to the prince."
"Oh."
Xiao Zhuohua bent his knees to the prince of Qin, turned around and went out, secretly guessing, what did the elder brother have to say to the prince of Qin?
The prince of Qin obviously has a good impression of Cousin Jiang, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed over to support Jiang Minjin at the beginning, and the two families have a marriage contract, wouldn't it be natural for the prince to marry Cousin Jiang?
Could it be that the elder brother wants to have a showdown with the prince of Qin?
No, with my brother's thoughts, I am only afraid that I will miss the best opportunity, and my brother has no children's private feelings in his heart, that is, he has a good impression of Cousin Jiang, but I am afraid that I will not think deeply, Cousin Jiang has not let my brother be tempted to the point that he will not marry.
It's not that Xiao Zhuohua doesn't want to remind his brother that Jiang Luyao is rare, but his brother, who has always had a good idea, may not be able to listen.
The two siblings have depended on each other since childhood, and she knows better what her brother wants most, and her brother will only consider the matter of a beautiful wife after he becomes famous.
"Lord Shizi, please be seated."
"Who is he?"
Zhao Duoze's sleeves swayed, and he knelt opposite Xiao Ruihua on the futon set up in the meditation room, and there was an unconscious young scholar lying on the wooden collapse, his body did not look very tall, his face was earthy yellow, his breath was weak, and he looked like he might be seriously injured and die at any time.
The injury that only sees the breath out but not the air in is Xiao Ruihua's hole card that knocked down Xu Guangli?
Zhao Duoze was a little skeptical that he had been deceived.
After entering the door, Zhao Duoze saw Xiao Zhuohua again, and at this time he had already regarded Xiao as the wife of his brother-in-law.
Xiao has a delicate appearance, a calm temperament, and good medical skills, and his brother-in-law Jiang Minjin can marry her, at least he will make the prince have a good helper by his side......
With Xiao Shi looking at his brother-in-law, he can also worry less about dim sum in the future, Jiang Luyao said that the weakness handle or something, is right in Zhao Duoze's heart.
"He is one of my classmates, with ordinary qualifications, but his ancestors have been famous...... Xiao Ruihua is very calm and calm, and he is not affected by likes and dislikes at all, "He once offended me, and I can't stay in the school anymore." However, because of a coincidence, we ended up being good friends. โ
โโฆโฆโ
Zhao Duoze was impressed by Xiao Ruihua, the Xie Yuan in front of him was cold-hearted and cold-hearted, his future achievements should not be underestimated, Xiao Ruihua has all the qualities of a politician, killing people invisibly, and will never affect his judgment because of likes and dislikes.
"And then? Who was his ancestor? โ
"Wu Wenqi."
"Who?"
Zhao Duoze's eyes showed a fierce light, resisted the urge to get up, and said angrily: "Aren't the Wu family all dead? How can there still be mongrels alive? How can Wu Wenqi be called a famous minister? Don't think that he can pay for his sins by committing suicide in prison...... If it weren't for him...... Not him...... How could my grandfather have died with a thousand cuts? โ
"I know that the prince hates Wu Wenqi's descendants, you calm down a little, I know better than you about the Yang family."
"How can you know better than I am?"
"The prince is the grandson of the Yang family, and the concubine of the King of Qin committed suicide because of this, you are an insider, and you only have resentment in your heart, in addition to lamenting the loyalty of the Yang family, I am really an outsider, and the bystanders are clear, this is not wrong. In the eyes of the prince, how did the tragedy of the Yang family come about? Just because โกโก is calculating the Yang family? โ
"What the hell are you trying to say?"
"The tragedy of the Yang family lies in the high merit of the master, the border only knows Marshal Yang, and does not know what His Majesty thinks today, what do you think in your heart? Moreover, the Yang family is the Yue's family of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and Yang Shuai and the old King Qin are friends of life and death......"
"I know if you don't say these words, Xiao Jieyuan, you are not the first person to say these things to me."
"In the following sentence, I must be the first person to say it to the prince of the world." Xiao Ruihua didn't take Zhao Duoze's mocking tone to heart, "Wu Wenqi died unjustly, and he is guaranteed to be the Yang family...... If it weren't for his most reluctant and open up waiting for the emperor to 'repent' and 'wake up', there would be no one left in the Yang family now, and there was still a little ...... The person who informed the concubine of King Qin back then was Wu Wenqi, Lord Wu. โ
"So what? If I know the road early, and if I know the road late, my mother will kill herself......"
Zhao Duoze's eyes suddenly became much heavier, and his slightly hideous face was slightly pale, his mother already knew that the Yang family was over?
"If it weren't for the arrangement of the princess of Qin, the Yang family's fire would have been extinguished early. It was she who entered the palace to ask for the queen mother, and it was she who hid the only male member of the Yang family under Wu Wenqi's acquiescence of pretending to be deaf and dumb...... Once there is an order from the Yang family, this group of people is still under the orders of Marshal Yang's descendants. โ
Xiao Ruihua admired and praised the amazing woman of the Yang family, the concubine of the King of Qin, who would rather be injured than be insulted by Hugh, and could not bear to be despised by his son...... arranged everything, but committed suicide with his son, causing irreconcilable contradictions between the King of Qin and the emperor, and at the same time showing the loyalty of the Yang family to the world, because it was too tragic, so that this unjust case was repeatedly mentioned and forever existed in the memory of the people of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhao Duoze slowly lowered his head, his broken hair covering his eyes, "Yes, my mother is an amazing woman...... I ......"
"The prince of the world does not have to be presumptuous, the person who has the courage to survive and remembers the hatred is more admirable than a death, sometimes death means escape, and all the grievances and hatreds after the death of a person have come to naught, where is the evil ghost in the world to entangle and avenge the revenge?"
As a bystander and an insider, Xiao Ruihua can take a comprehensive look at Zhao Duoze, the prince of Qin, what is the situation of the Qin Palace, Xiao Ruihua doesn't know much, but until now the emperor still hasn't grasped the handle to kill the prince of Qin, which is enough to prove that the prince is not as useless as he seems on the outside.
"No one does it better than you, Lord Shi...... The concubine of the king of Qin can also be blinded under the nine springs. โ
"I think my mother will go to the realm of bliss without suffering and sorrow, and be with my grandparents and uncles." Zhao Duoze's face was much more normal, and he pointed to the injured person on the couch, "Let's talk about how he survived back then, I remember that the emperor ordered that all the men of the Wu family be beheaded." โ
"Since Lord Xu betrayed his friends to seek glory, and Wu Wenqi obeyed the holy order and had to dispose of the Yang family, why didn't he leave a backhand? The Wu family and the Xu family have long had an agreement on the marriage contract of their children, and Xu Guangli will also replace his future son-in-law with reason. Incognito to find another identity for him...... It's a pity that my friend is not very competitive, and he always stumbles in his studies, and Miss Xu, the only niece Xu Guangli values, is a Jiangnan celebrity, isn't it a pity to have a showman? โ
"Xu Guangli repented of his marriage?"
"That's right. He thought that he was well concealed, and his future son-in-law didn't know what happened back then, but the most indispensable thing in this world is an insider, and the nurse is a good thing......" Xiao Ruihua smiled a little more, "His nurse found him and told him the cause and effect, my friend is also a person with great perseverance, and he also used nonsense to cover up the real purpose, he relied on Xu Guangli's mansion to listen to the news, during which many people regarded him as a leper dog, a scoundrel, naturally some things will not hide from him useless, it took three years, He finally had enough incriminating evidence to bring Xu Guangli down. โ
Zhao Duoze asked, "The evidence of the crime is still in his hands?" โ
"Now in my hands, that day, I saved him when he was in danger, I am Jiangsu and Zhejiang Xie Yuan. He believed that I could help him present the evidence to the emperor to rehabilitate the Wu family. Originally, he wanted to wait another two months to go to Beijing, but a rumor suddenly appeared in Jiangnan that made Xu Guangli look sideways, saying that the prince had a heart for Xu Ying...... Xu Guangli was jealous of the prince, so he stopped the secret arrangement and sent someone to investigate the matter thoroughly. โ
"My friend saw that there were fewer people guarding secrets, and he thought it was an opportunity to get close to the core of the Xu family again, but unfortunately he missed it and was known by Xu Guangli."
"Xu Guangli was worried that the rumors were true, and his niece Xu Ying had an accident in the capital, so he sent additional secret guards, and Xu Guangli despised him, thinking that he only had some fur, and the people who pursued him did not dare to leak his whereabouts near the capital, so he could find me before he fainted."
Xiao Ruihua handed a blood-stained cloth bag to Zhao Duoze, "Look at it, it is difficult for Xu Guangli not to die this time, and the most ruthless thing under His Majesty is to rebel against the ministers, Yang Shuai committed a taboo back then, and the Yang family was unlucky, and now Xu Guangli has embarked on the same path as Yang Shuai." And the more loyal he usually behaves, the more angry the emperor will be once the evidence is revealed. โ
"That is, the emperor treats Xu Lao Thief as the Duke of Zhou, who is the auxiliary prince." After Zhao Duoze looked through the evidence, he asked, "What are you going to do?" โ
"Someone has to hand it over to Your Majesty, but this evidence can't appear in your hands and me."
"Who do you want to use?" Zhao Duoze asked rhetorically, "Who do you want to be the target of all Xu Guangli's attention for the time being?" This man's weight is not light. โ
There is no need to waste your lips and tongue when talking to smart people, Xiao Ruihua was satisfied with Zhao Duoze's consciousness, and groaned slightly, "There is another thing in the past, you may not know ......"
"What's the matter?"
"It's about Second Master Jiang's biological mother."
The corners of Xiao Ruihua's mouth were slightly hooked, quite a bit of a good show, if the prince knew about the relationship between Jiang Erye's biological mother and the big enemy Xu Guangli, I don't know if he would still firmly marry Jiang Luyao?
Life is really made up of accidents again and again, not that enemies don't get together.
"Second Master Jiang is now a registered son-in-law." Zhao Duoze suddenly felt bad, and avoided the ambush set by Xiao Ruihua, "The second master is now the son-in-law, if it is the son-in-law, there is only one mother - the current cousin Jiamin County Lord." โ
"The Xu family once had a past." Xiao Ruihua was unhurried and slowly talked about the ancients: "The Xu family is also a local family, but the Xu family's sons and daughters have a disadvantage that they are lustful, especially the wives of widows and others...... Xu is because of the pursuit of excitement, Xu Guangli's father once stole a widowed woman. The family was afraid of the power of the Xu family, and did not dare to make a noise, and the plaque commending the festival woman was hung on the court. โ
"And then?"
The child she gave birth to that day was Jiang Erye's biological mother, Liu...... In order to be a concubine, her mother doesn't care about her daughter's life or death, who cares about her? Sold early to be sold...... The last fell to the Yongning Marquis Mansion. โ
Zhao Duoze suddenly had an urge to roar, did God play people like this?
The big enemy of my grandfather's family, Xu Guangli turned out to be Jiang Luyao's uncle?
How could Jiang Luyao have the despicable bloodline of the Xu family?
Xiao Ruihua looked at Prince Qin with a smile, "Will you unswervingly marry Cousin Jiang?" You're not afraid that your grandfather will crawl out to find you......"
"Enough!" Zhao Duoze hammered his knee heavily and asked rhetorically, "You are qualified to say that?" You deliberately mentioned this past, didn't you just want Jiang Erye to be that live target? Let Xu Guangli not dare to do anything to Jiang Erye easily because of the tie of the bloodline. โ
Seeing Xiao Ruihua's solemn face and a little ashamed, Zhao Duoze continued: "I didn't understand whether I cared if Yaoyao had the blood of the Xu family, but I wouldn't push her father and brother who cared about the most into the dangerous spiral nest. โ
"How do you know that I can't protect Second Master Jiang?" Xiao Ruihua countered: "Once Xu Guangli falls, the first person to expose his crimes will inevitably be rewarded, Second Master Jiang is just a little hard, he is the registered son of the county lord of Jiamin, and there is the Marquis of Yongning...... Even if he is in prison, no one dares to treat him badly. A little hardship in exchange for a lifetime of wealth...... I ......"
No matter how much Xiao Ruihua is upright, he can't say that he has a clear conscience.
"Do you dare to guarantee that Xu Guangli will open up to him for that trace of blood? Do you dare to guarantee that the county lord of Jiamin can protect Second Master Jiang? โ
Zhao Duoze put the evidence aside, after he heard about this past, his first thought was to use Jiang Erye as a target, he was not much better than Xiao Ruihua...... When he thought of Jiang Luyao, he hesitated, and he didn't dare to let Jiang Erye suffer and face danger.
Even if Second Master Jiang takes this opportunity to become rich in the future, he still doesn't have the face to meet Jiang Luyao, who loves his father and brother very much, let alone let Jiang Luyao marry him willingly.
Xiao Ruihua asked rhetorically: "You say so?" โ
"Xiao Jieyuan, no one is a fool, you said this to me, you want me to be the black hand who pushes Jiang Erye as a target, right?" Zhao Duoze couldn't wait to smash the scheming Xiao Ruihua to death with one punch, but he really didn't feel good.
Taking advantage of his hatred for Xu Guangli, killing two birds with one stone, as long as Zhao Duoze did it, Jiang Luyao would never forgive him for the rest of his life.
When the time comes, Xiao Ruihua can not only be proud of being a hero who overthrew Yu Chen, but also get Jiang Luyao's favor.
Killing two birds with one stone, Xiao Ruihua is really an outstanding politician and conspirator who can use anything.
Zhao Duoze suddenly became a little more interested in fighting with politicians, as if it was much more interesting than competing with Princess Qin, not to mention ...... He is the grandson of the Yang family and the son of King Qin...... What the Yang family, the Qin king, and the Zhao family left behind, should be inherited by him.
In the past, he thought about secretly ruining Xu Guangli, as long as he could take revenge, but now he doesn't think so, with his previous state, how could Yang Jiajun obey him? Even if he is the grandson of the Yang family, there are only a limited number of people who can be mobilized.
Only by justifiably avenging his grandfather's Yang family can he gain the trust of the remaining loyal and righteous people and follow him, otherwise he is just a son of a gentleman who uses his grandfather's Yu Wei to be fierce.
"I have suffered this suffering. If I can't be trusted by the emperor and my life is harmed by Xu Guangli, I accept my fate. โ
Zhao Duoze put the blood-stained evidence in his arms, stood up and said coldly and arrogantly: "You wait for my news, and the future benefits of this world will not forget you." โ
"Lord Shizi, it's very dangerous for you to go here, maybe Your Majesty won't believe you at all......"
"I know what Your Majesty is thinking, but I have to do this."
Zhao Duoze looked at the sunset on the horizon, the colorful glow in the sky was very beautiful, just like Jiang Luyao's blushing cheeks, tightened the evidence in his hand, and muttered: "My life was picked up, maybe I should have gone with my mother as early as eighteen years, since God let me live for eighteen more years, I have no regrets even if I die." โ
Give your life back to the Yang family and return it to your mother.
Xiao Ruihua watched Zhao Duoze go away, and narrowed his Danfeng eyes that narrowed into his sideburns, "Prince of Qin...... I underestimated you. โ
No matter what Zhao Duoze says, he will still do what he should do, and he can't let Xu fail because of Zhao Duoze's solidity and miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Xiao Ruihua slowly closed his fists, and didn't say a word, Xu Guangli also had an affair with his mother-in-law, who was Jiang Erye's own grandmother, at that time, they were father and son, and no one could say who Jiang Erye's biological mother was, so the Xu family would ignore her existence.
"I can guarantee that Second Master Jiang will be safe and sound, and he will be rich and prosperous all his life, Cousin Jiang, you have to believe me......"
