Chapter Eighty-Four: Cooperation! Xue Tao's weakness!
"Yes, now that Your Majesty no longer trusts Lord Taifu, I am afraid that my lord will have the advantage of his life! And Chen is willing to help adults escape here! Chen Xian said confidently.
Xue Tao is also very clear about his current situation.
Although he is cunning and has three holes, he is now placed on the handle of the knife.
Man is a knife, I am a fish!
His head may be lost at any time, and at this moment, Xue Tao is not alarmed on the surface, but he is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
"Why should I trust you?" Xue Tao said.
"You have to believe me, is there a better choice for Lord Taifu?" Chen Xian said.
Xue Tao said: "What conditions do you have? "
With that, he got up from the floor of the cell, and walked towards Chen Xian step by step with his chained feet.
Chen Xian, as always, did not change his color, and said in a harmonious voice: "For our common interests, we will join forces to get rid of our common enemy!" "
Xue Tao sneered for a while, and then said, "Chen Xian, Chen Xian, you are really a talent. In this troubled world, there are only a handful of brave and resourceful juniors like you, and the first emperor and His Royal Highness the Great Prince really didn't see the wrong person! But what good is it for me to help you? I can't guarantee that it will end up like this in the future! Isn't it? "
Xue Tao knew in his heart that Chen Xian had always been loyal to Xiao Zhong, and now he was committed to Xiao Wen, but he was ready to take revenge for Xiao Zhong, Concubine Hu and others sooner or later! can think about what he has done to Emperor Xian and Xiao Zhong, presumably even if he helps Chen Xian now, if Chen Xian uses himself well, he will settle the account after the autumn. Then I just lived a few more days, how much better could I be!
I couldn't believe Chen Xian, I was very suspicious, and I was unmoved by Chen Xian's words.
After all, a person who has been in the old age for many years, plus he has been scheming for many years, and he is left and right, how can he easily agree to a hairy boy!
I thought in my heart, even if I died in prison, the countless gold and silver treasures I had accumulated would be enough for my family to eat and wear in the future!
Although I am afraid of death, I am so bold!
But after thinking about it, Xiao Wen is ruthless, if he doesn't let go of his family and relatives, how can he turn a blind eye even if he dies? I was conflicted!
And Chen Xian seemed to have already guessed Xue Tao's thoughts, and said unhurriedly: "Lord Taifu thinks most about flesh and blood affection, your newborn young grandson and two pairs of children, are you really willing to leave it behind?" You have been an official all your life, you must know it very well. If you die, you will be gone, but your sons will be condemned to the barracks, or they will be enslaved forever, and their daughters will be sold into slavery, or even become prostitutes in the army. Although you are dead at that time, do you really want to see such a situation under the Nine Springs? "
"Nonsense, Your Majesty won't do this!" Xue Tao shouted loudly.
Chen Xian smiled lightly, looked at Xue Tao's pale face, and continued: "What kind of person Your Majesty looks like, you should know better!" As long as you are willing to cooperate with me, I guarantee that your family will not be harmed in the slightest, and as for you, I will also open up and let you quit the court and live out your old age in peace! "
"Say it lightly! What do you bet with him? Xue Tao said.
"It's nothing, it's just luck." Chen Xian said calmly.
"Luck?" Xue Tao was surprised.
"That's right, if he Xiao Wentian doesn't tolerate it, then naturally God won't favor him. And I know that Lord Taifu knows almost everything His Majesty has done! What a bad thing that has been done! I've hurt people a few times! What a conspiracy!
…… Wait a minute. "
Xue Tao still looked at Chen Xian with some defensiveness and said, "How can I trust you?" "
Chen Xian looked at Xue Tao and said directly: "I can only promise Master Taifu that you will be allowed to return to your hometown." This is the biggest concession, and the rest of the people will not let it go! "
Then, seeing that Xue Tao was interested, he continued: "After the matter is completed, I will immediately announce it to the world to protect the adult from death. How about being your talisman and keeping you clothed and fed? But if I were you, I would definitely say yes, anyway, it doesn't hurt! "
"Tell me about your conditions!" Xue Tao asked with some emotion.
"Proof! I want all the evidence of Xiao Wen's crimes! Chen Xian said busily.
"But ......," Xue Tao said.
"This kind of thing should be easy to say to you, you won't leave no evidence!" Chen Xian said.
"I do have the evidence, but it's not on me, it's hidden in a very hidden place!" Xue Tao said happily.
"Cloud Paradise?" Chen Xian asked.
Xue Tao was startled at first, and was a little surprised. After a moment, he asked: "How do you know this, it seems that you know a lot, he Xiao Wen didn't kill him, leaving you by his side is his retribution, hahaha!" "
Chen Xian looked at Xue Tao's reaction, confirmed it in his heart, and said, "It seems that I guessed correctly, and sure enough!" "
Yunle Fang is a very famous tavern in Jiankang City, and it is the first place where dignitaries and wealthy people like to spend money to buy fun and talk about important things!
And Xue Tao is a frequent visitor in Yunliaofang! The reason why I say this is not only because Xue Tao often goes there, but because Xue Tao's house slave Ding Er is a frequent visitor there, and every time he goes, he must have a drink with the proprietress Mei Gu, and the two of them talk in the house for a long time every time, Ding Er is extra careful every time, and it doesn't look like he's here to have fun and get drunk, but more like he's coming to meet the deceased. Chen Xian found this Aunt Mei from this clue, a woman who claimed to be in her fifties, but in fact she looked no more than forty years old, such a beautiful woman, not because she had a relationship with Ding Er, but because of Xue Tao.
"If it weren't for the bitter cold of winter,
How to get plum blossoms to bloom in one place! "
Chen Xian chanted in his mouth.
Xue Tao, who was disapproving just now, suddenly heard these two poems, and his expression was very solemn, as if he had experienced a catastrophe.
Closing his eyes and sighing, Fang opened his mouth and said slowly: "You know everything!" I didn't think she'd tell you that! "
"She told me this to save you. She's willing to trade her life for yours! I just hope that you will be safe! Chen Xian said.
After Xue Tao heard this, he was so angry that he stomped his feet and almost cried, and said, "Hey! This stupid girl, why did she do this! It's stupid! "
Chen Xian said: "Except for letting me keep you, she didn't say much else. Aunt Mei asked me to ask you! "
When Xue Tao heard this, his mind was full of memories, and a wave of tenderness suddenly came to his heart.
"Her surname is Mei, and her name is Yingluo. originally ran a humble tavern in Jiankang City. It was fate, once I had nothing to do, depressed, and came to her tavern to drink. At that time, she was as simple as a white plum blossom in this world, which attracted me deeply. She encouraged me and looked up to me. Even in my most difficult times, he did not leave me. Later, I followed the first emperor to fight the world, and I became rich at the age of fifty, but unfortunately she was already married to someone else at that time, and she was not willing. It was her father who forced her to die and sacrificed her happiness for the sake of filial piety. Later, her husband died of dysentery, and she was widowed, and gossip was indispensable on weekdays. I saw that I could help her at this time, so I bought a shop and opened a tavern for her. As soon as she opened, there were more guys, and she didn't have to be so busy, her legs were not very good, and it was inconvenient to walk too much. Second, we can also have the opportunity to meet often. I know everything about her, she is my confidante and the person I am willing to protect in this life! Xue Tao said affectionately while reminiscing.
Chen Xian took it seriously from beginning to end, listened to the story of Xue Tao and Aunt Mei, and was quite touched by the story of the two. Thinking about it, there are cunning and treacherous people like Xue Tao inside, and they are still so sincere.
said to Xue Tao: "I didn't expect that Master Taifu is also an infatuated person. If you could have achieved something great earlier, Aunt Mei and you would have been together a long time ago. Wouldn't that be unwilling? "
Xue Tao smiled, and then said: "If you really love a woman, you will know that her happiness and joys and sorrows are the strength of our men's hard work. But in my heart, we are already husband and wife! "
After speaking, he sat down again and continued: "Now that I have suffered like this, wouldn't it hurt her to let her follow me. I really want her to be happy with me, but I don't want her to share her worries with me. As long as she can live a long life and be in good health, I will be satisfied! "
Chen Xian continued: "But she prefers to share the joys and sorrows with you. Master Taifu should be happy to have won a heart-hearted person! "
Xue Tao continued: "Now that you know everything. I hope that no matter what, please be kind to Aunt Mei in the future, she is a kind girl and has never hurt anyone! "
Chen Xian saw that Xue Tao's ups and downs in his feelings at this time all originated from Aunt Mei. Listening to Xue Tao's words again, he said, "Don't worry! Aunt Mei will be fine. Waiting for you to take care of yourself! "
"So I have to thank you. As long as you can keep Aunt Mei thoughtful in the future. As for everything you want to know, I will tell you without reservation! Xue Tao said neatly?
"Don't worry, my lord, someone Chen swears by his heirs, if he violates his promise in the future, he will tell me to cut off my children and grandchildren!"
Chen Xian initiated a poisonous oath.
"That's very good, in this case, my evidence is all with Aunt Mei, you bring my handwritten letter and this token, Yingluo will definitely hand over all the evidence to you." From childhood to adulthood, his crimes are numerous, buying murders, framing brothers, chronic poisoning ......under his father's pharmacology, one by one, one by one, each of which can make him lose his crown. Of course, there are also my accomplices and instigators, and even if I die, I have no regrets. Xue Tao continued to introduce and say.
"Good! I will honor what I promised you! Chen Xian said seriously.
