Chapter 41: The Temptation of the Lord

Li Wenyi felt that the plan was quite smooth this time, the man in black had been caught, and the mastermind behind the scenes had also been confessed. He was full of joy, waiting to be invited to receive a reward, but Luo Xiaotian was full of doubts.

Whether the man in black said it was true or not, it made him in a dilemma. This problem was exactly what the emperor threw at him and asked him to solve. Otherwise, he would not have given high-ranking officials Houlu in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, and he would personally supervise the Dongmen bombing.

Others may not understand, but Luo Xiaotian knows it in his heart. On the surface, the emperor wants to handle the case impartially, but in fact, he is eager to protect his son. If someone else comes to investigate the case, the two factions fight, and one of the sons must be pushed into the abyss.

And Luo Xiaotian is different, there is no faction, and he will not stand in line. With his intelligence, he can understand the emperor's meaning, and it is impossible to make the two sons the mastermind. As long as it does not go through the triage of the three divisions and does not make a fuss known to the court, the emperor can quietly suppress the matter.

Therefore, who is the mastermind behind the scenes is not the most important thing - the old fox wants the result, not the truth.

This has been true since ancient times, and the law is not meant to bind the powerful.

As for who the man in black was, Luo Xiaotian didn't care. He just wondered if he could use his specialness to do something.

……

In the Yewang Mansion, a guard was hurrying all the way to the Yewang's chamber.

When he got to the door, he knocked lightly, and when he got the promise, he pushed the door and entered.

At this time, Yewang is adjusting the strings. Seeing the guards coming in, he shook off the hair covering his forehead, and asked with some displeasure: "Mu Ye, how many times have I said it, don't come to disturb me at this hour!" ”

"Master, something happened!" The guard Mu Ye looked frightened, and he didn't care about the master's scolding.

King Ye put down the strings in his hand that were about to be connected, raised his slender and thick eyebrows, and hurriedly walked off the piano platform, asking with a solemn expression, "What's the matter?" ”

"The missing subordinate has been captured by Luo Xiaotian." Mu Ye replied.

Hearing this, King Ye was distraught and walked around the room.

After thinking for a long time, he said: "Don't panic first, Luo Xiaotian didn't dare to act rashly before he was completely sure, but why did your people suddenly go to Dali Temple?" ”

Regarding this matter, his subordinates speculated: He may have been misled by the news spread by Luo Xiaotian and wanted to go to the scene to destroy the evidence in order to protect His Royal Highness King Ye, so he fell into the trap. However, please rest assured that his teeth are tight. It is said that on the night of the capture, he kept shouting that he was from the prince's mansion. ”

"Huh...... Your brains are simple, do you think Luo Xiaotian will believe it? King Ye smiled contemptuously, thought for a moment, and then said, "No...... He will believe, forcing himself to believe. ”

Mu Ye was puzzled and asked, "My subordinates don't understand." ”

"Hmph...... It depends on which side Luo Xiaotian is willing to offend! We don't have to be overly nervous, just by grabbing a minion, trying to splash dirty water on me? I'm afraid they're thinking too simply! King Ye sneered.

"Do you want your subordinates to send someone to ......?"

Halfway through Mu Ye's words, King Ye said angrily to him, "You think our people aren't exposed enough, do you?" From this day forward, all Deadpools will not move, and not a single of our people will be allowed in Kyoto City! ”

Mu Ye hurriedly replied, "Yes!" ”

Ye Wang still knows a little bit about Luo Xiaotian. It was already clear that he did not want to participate in the struggle between the two sides, let alone offend either side. With Luo Xiaotian's wit and reverse extrapolation, he can guess that the man in black is his subordinate.

……

The news of the capture of the man in black in Dali Temple, there are two people who are panicked, in addition to the king of industry, there is also the king of Bei'an.

In the palace, the worried King of Bei'an was anxiously waiting for the report of his subordinates.

Soon, his subordinates hurriedly came to report, and it was not until he confirmed that it was not his own that he was at ease, and quickly ordered all those who were hidden to hide and no longer move.

For the subordinate who has not yet been found, the king of Bei'an is racking his brains and thinking of a way to deal with it. According to his expectations, Luo Xiaotian's investigation of the bombing case should be close to the results.

However, to everyone's surprise, Luo Xiaotian had stopped the investigation and did not go to Dali Temple again, and stayed in the Hou Mansion Garden all day long, which was very comfortable.

To solve this problem, he can only drag it out first, and let the prince and the king of Ye go, but also to make the emperor feel at ease. It is best to enter the palace and meet the old fox, as for how to deal with it, he will naturally convey his meaning to himself.

Luo Xiaotian was walking in the garden, and casually glanced up, close to the high wall of his room. I thought to myself: Why hasn't Uncle Qianji shown up for a few days? The senior brother has not yet returned.

When I think about it, the more strange I feel.

Unconsciously, he had already walked to the door of Chen An'an's room.

He gently pushed the door open and stepped into the room. Standing quietly in front of the couch, looking at the sleeping Chen An'an, he said to himself: "An'an, wake up quickly, I will explain everything clearly." ”

Turning his head, he noticed a potted plant by the windowsill and couldn't help but smile. Zhao Susu's voice suddenly appeared in the bottom of his heart - if you pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, you should treat it carefully and not hurt it.

He involuntarily walked over to the potted plant and carefully moved it away.

Then he opened the two doors and windows, and the fragrance of herbs came to his nose.

He took out the champa in his arms and looked at it carefully, there was still a trace of Chen An'an's blood left on it, and one of the embroidered plum blossoms was red.

At this moment, his mind was full of Zhao Susu's voice and smile, lingering......

Outside the window, two butterflies fluttered and lingered away with a gust of wind.

At this time, Zhang Ruyue came in with a bowl of clear soup, and when she saw him standing by the windowsill, she called softly: "Senior brother......"

Luo Xiaotian turned around, looked at the soup in her hand, and said with a smile: "Senior sister, give me the soup, let me come." ”

"Hmm......" Zhang Ruyue agreed, handing the clear soup to him.

Luo Xiaotian took the soup, sat next to Chen An'an, scooped a spoonful, and blew hot air.

Zhang Ruyue suddenly said: "Senior brother, the emperor has issued an imperial edict, and I saw it on the street that day." ”

Luo Xiaotian continued to blow the hot air in the soup, his face was expressionless, and he did not answer.

Seeing that the senior brother did not answer, Zhang Ruyue muttered and continued: "What should Miss Susu do, but Miss An'an has to be saved." If it were me, I wouldn't know what to do. ”

The junior sister muttered to herself, such a cute appearance made Luo Xiaotian laugh. He shook his head and brought the clear soup in the spoon to Chen An'an's mouth.

At the beginning, Luo Xiaotian just didn't have time to make a decision, he could only make a decision on the spot, so now he is extremely tormented. Sometimes, in a trance, he can't tell the difference between reality and fiction, but it is like an unreal dream, and when he wakes up, he has to face it by himself.

……

In the Prince's Mansion, there was a burst of laughter in the courtyard, and there was a happy scene inside.

The prince, Zhao Yuanxi and Lin Pingrui sat around the pavilion, holding wine glasses and going back and forth, drinking heartily, and the interest was strong.

In the past few days, Zhao Yuanxi, who lives in the Prince's Mansion, has been drunk and unconscious every day.

At this moment, his cheeks were dark red, his eyes were misty, and his expression was already seven or eight points drunk.

Lin Pingrui, who was sitting next to him, would fill up his wine glass in time as long as he saw it empty, and his eyes occasionally flashed with treachery.

Another glass of wine went down, Zhao Yuanxi couldn't hold it anymore, his stomach turned over, he vomited all over the ground, and planted his head on the wine table.

Seeing that he was drunk, the prince nodded to Lin Pingrui.

Lin Pingrui understood what the prince meant, and immediately nodded in response. Then he waved to the two guards behind him and motioned for them to carry the man away.

Several people carried Zhao Yuanxi all the way to the secret prison of the Prince's Mansion.

Walked over to a cage and stopped, throwing him on the ground.

A faint light entered the cage, and I saw a man in a tight night suit, sitting in the corner, with a black scarf on his head, with a special marking.

Such a costume is the hidden person of the King of Bei'an.

Hearing someone coming in, the Tracer turned sideways, blinding him.

Lin Pingrui knocked on the cell door hard, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Your little master is here, don't you come to see him?" ”

The Hider hesitantly turned his head and looked at the man lying on the ground.

In order to let him see clearly, the guard next to him picked up Zhao Yuanxi's head and faced the hideer.

Seeing the appearance clearly, the hideer's face was panicked, and he couldn't help but whisper: "Little young master......"

Lin Pingrui smiled even more presumptuously, the corners of his mouth were curved like a hook and sickle, and he was murderous.

"Do you really think we can't do anything about you? Today, this is my quid pro quo, let your little master die, or you tell me the secret of King Bei'an. But you'll have to be honest, I've been following you for a long time, don't think I don't know what he's trying to do! ”

The tracer pounced on the cage, grabbed the corner of Lin Pingrui's clothes, his eyes were full of murderous aura, and said viciously: "Do you know the fate of offending your master? ”

Lin Pingrui pulled out the long knife of the guards beside him, put it on Zhao Yuanxi's neck, and said threateningly: "Do you really think that I will be afraid of a little King of Bei'an, I don't want to talk nonsense with you, this kid's life is in your hands." As soon as you open your mouth, I will release them immediately. ”

The Hidden Man looked at Zhao Yuanxi, hesitant, his eyes full of despair.

"There's a limit to my patience." Lin Pingrui pressed forward step by step.

After a slight pause, seeing that he had not yet responded, he quickly raised his knife and slashed at Zhao Yuanxi.

At the critical moment, the Tracer hurriedly stopped him loudly and said, "Wait! Wait! I said......"

He shook his head helplessly, clenched his fists, and pounded the cage hard, his eyes full of anger.

Lin Pingrui put down the knife he raised, slowly squatted down, and said to him with a smile: "Seeing that you are not only loyal, but also very smart, this transaction is a very good deal for you." ”

For this matter, Lin Pingrui is selfish.

Ever since his father was sent to the dungeon by Luo Xiaotian, he has been thinking about revenge. According to the information obtained by his subordinates, Luo Xiaotian and the King of Bei'an seem to have a close relationship and often correspond.

Lin Pingrui suspected in his heart: These were all done by the King of Bei'an under the instructions of Luo Xiaotian, otherwise, with Luo Xiaotian's ability, he would never dare to offend his father.

Therefore, taking advantage of this bombing, he wanted to directly eradicate the king of Bei'an.

Even the prince was still in the dark about these things, and he didn't ask about them, let alone interfere.
