Donate your life to break the deadlock
Luan Xiang said: "Father knows that you are loyal, so he specially asked me to come to see you, you are his great benefactor, he said that he wanted to repay you well, so that I must convey it to you clearly, he wants to take you to the Prime Minister's Mansion for treatment, and give you a future in the future, what do you think?" ”
"Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion? Give me a future? This...... Is this true? Zhou Wenlian pretended to be incredulous, but he was extremely eager for it: "Can ...... But my lord, I'm afraid he won't believe me easily......" He lowered his voice and whispered: "Lord Wang, he suspects that I am the prime minister's spy, and I am also in a dilemma." To be honest, the villain is Chao'an's clan, because the county lord passed by Chao'an and ate the villain's buns, he liked it very much, so he brought the villain into the palace, saying that he could give the villain glory, as long as the villain could serve the county lord well. But the villain can only make steamed buns, and I didn't think about it so much at that time, thinking that the prince could still treat me badly? So I came to defect, I thought that I would be able to find a way out if I got married to the prince, but ...... But the prince doesn't look down on me at all, no matter how much the county lord loves to eat steamed buns, he can't eat them every day, hey, I thought I could be lifted by my ability to cook with one hand, I also read books, I didn't pass the exam once, and my family couldn't afford it anymore, so I went to business to make a living. The recipe of the bun is handed down by the grandfather's generation, it is indeed a must, the county lord is clothed and jade, and has never eaten the snacks of this small place, so I liked it at once, but this recipe is just my hard copy, the county lord is tired of eating, I have no other way, I am a scholar, it is not easy to learn to make buns, and it is impossible to say that it is impossible to innovate to please the county lord. I thought that when the county lord ran out of money, I would at least give me a sum of money to let me go, but who knew that she would never mention this matter for a long time, and the servant said that the county lord was not happy, and told me not to bother her and the prince about these things, saying that there was food and drink in this palace, and let me stay here for a while, and then mention it after this while. I endured it at the time, who knew that things in the county lord and the prince's house were getting more and more chaotic, and the county lord would occasionally think of eating steamed buns, just ask me to steam, or never mention letting me go...... I'm really bored here! There's no food and clothing here, but there's no hope. Luan Gongzi! ”
After saying so much, he suddenly held Luan Xiang's hand tightly and said: "Luan Gongzi, I know, the prime minister knows people and makes good use of them, please help me, I am willing to follow the prime minister, work hard for the prime minister, this is the purpose of my coming to the capital, if the prime minister is willing to use me, I ...... I'm willing to die for him! I'm also a man of lofty ideals, and I'd rather die with a bang than live like this. Luan Gongzi, please! He said very excitedly, his eyes were red, and his face was full of sincerity, and Luan Xiang didn't know where to start with suspicion. Listening to what he said sincerely, Luan Xiang had to follow his words and said: "You saved my father's life, I am very grateful to you, if it weren't for you, it would be difficult for my father to get out of the Gu Wangfu that day, I can help you speak in front of your father, but you should also be white, the relationship between your father and the prince is tense, whether he can believe you or not, it is not necessarily, after all, you are from the palace." ”
Zhou Wenlian said with a grateful look: "Hey, I saved the prime minister that day, and the prince is afraid that he won't believe me, as long as Luan Gongzi helps me, it doesn't matter what the consequences are, I don't thank you!" This is the last stand, if it doesn't work, I will never resent the prime minister! ”
Luan Xiang said: "Father also intended to invite you to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but I was afraid that Prince Gu would not let you go." ”
Zhou Wen hurriedly said: "I am actually not a servant of his family, and I have not signed any contract, the prime minister comes to ask for someone, and Prince Gu will not let go!" ”
Luan Xiang smiled: "Since you haven't signed the contract, why don't you leave the palace?" ”
Zhou Wenlian said: "The villain is unwilling, I have wasted a lot of time here, and I am unwilling to leave like this, but ......" He said here and suddenly lowered his voice and said: "But listening to rumors, today's saint is cowardly and incompetent, and he has not done anything in the more than 20 years of his reign, and the state affairs all rely on Prime Minister Luan, and the prince Gu is dedicated to protecting the emperor, which is really stupid and delays the people of the world." The villain is more and more admiring the prime minister, has not had the opportunity to meet, this time God gave a great opportunity, so that the villain has the honor to serve the prime minister, and it is not in vain that the villain has been dormant in the capital for many days. ”
Luan Xiang's face immediately fell: "Hugh is talking nonsense, you can also discuss the saint today?" This is the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, watch your head! ”
Zhou Wen hurriedly said humbly: "Yes, what Luan Gongzi taught is that the villain will stop talking nonsense!" The villain just admired the prime minister's intelligence too much, so he spoke wildly, and hoped that the son would forgive the villain this time, the villain ...... The villain is also the first time to encounter such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he is too excited, please don't take it to heart! ”
Luan Xiang said solemnly: "The relationship between my father and the emperor is sensitive, and my father is often impeached by the official for trespassing, if you want to do things by your father's side, you must be careful with your words, otherwise you will drag your father down, even if you are your father's savior, your father can't spare you." You need to keep this in mind. ”
Zhou Wenlian said: "Yes, yes, the villain must remember, must remember!" Zhou Wenlian agreed.
Luan Xiang said: "Then you stay here first, I'll go back and ask my father about this, and you can recuperate with peace of mind." ”
Zhou Wenlian also politely wanted to send Luan Xiang, he was injured, Luan Xiang naturally wouldn't let him move, the two of them said a few more polite words, and Luan Xiang left.
As soon as Luan Xiang left with his front foot, Yue Lin hurriedly ran over.
"Hey, what the hell is he doing when he comes to you, do they suspect that you and Zhaohua are acting?"
Yue Lin's expression was hurried. Zhou Wenlian frowned and said: "Yes, I didn't expect this old guy to react so quickly, I thought it would be enough to scare him for months and make him dare not come to the door!"
Yue Lin asked, "Then how did you deal with it?"
Zhou Wenlian raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course, it is to retreat and advance, and take refuge in him!"
Yue Lin immediately said hurriedly: "You are stupid, how can he believe you?" That old thing would rather kill the wrong one than let it go, how can you deceive it, if you go, he will definitely kill you if you tell the truth, and then say that you are dead, what use does he want you to do! ”
Zhou Wenlian grabbed Yue Lin and smiled bitterly: "Master Yue! I don't want to, but is there any other way, I can't tell him the truth! This is a delaying tactic, we have to deceive him first, and then we will discuss countermeasures! ”
Yue Lin frowned and said, "But now things have come to a dead end!" How can this continue? ”
Zhou Wenlian sighed heavily and scolded: "Damn, I think the Luan family is an old immortal, if you don't kill him, he will definitely kill us, it's shameless, and it's too much of a deception!" This is deliberately pushing us to a dead end! ”
Yue Lin said: "Then what should we do, kill him?" That's not good, not to mention how many people are around the old thief to protect, we can't get close to him at all, even the timing is not right now, kill him, it will be difficult to fish out! ”
At this time, the door curtain was lifted, and Prince Gu walked in from outside, Zhou Wen hurriedly told him the matter clearly, and Prince Gu sneered: "He just wants to force me to be anxious, force me to do something wrong, and in the future, he will be brought to everyone and let everyone watch, so that the emperor has to punish me!" He won't let me go if he dies, since he can't control him no matter what, and now he has affected Wen Lian again, this time it's really exhaustive. It's no good to spend so much with him, it's better for me to take the initiative to quit, end the game, and leave a way back for myself, so that I won't have the power to turn over. ”
Zhou Wenlian asked, "It seems that the prince already has a comprehensive countermeasure?" ”
Gu Wang Ye said: "Wen Lian, you boldly go to the Luan family, I will go to the palace to find someone, please ask him to protect you, but you are safe, you just need to admit that Zhaohua is pretending to be crazy, it was my father and daughter who coerced you to play this scene, plus the protection of that person, you will definitely be safe." ”
Zhou Wenlian was taken aback: "In this way, isn't it a waste of all your previous efforts?" I, Zhou Wenlian, am not such a person, Lord Wang, even if I don't talk about our plan, I have a way to save my life. I am from Anning County, as long as I dare to bite Zhao Baiquan in front of him, Luan Lao Thief will personally investigate, even if I can't find out the real cause of her daughter's death and can't save Xiao Wei, this mutual suspicion is enough for their father and son to drink a pot. ”
Gu Wangye shook his head and said: "No, I think Prime Minister Luan Cheng knows the real murderer, but it is still useful for him to keep Zhao Baiquan, this person is evil and wise, he is useful if he keeps him, so I won't kill him for the time being, you said the truth and shocked Zhao Baiquan, but he will cut the grass and kill you instead." I have been in the same hall with Luan Ningchuan for so many years, fighting in the dark and in the dark, I know him. The cause of his daughter's death doesn't need to be investigated at all, as long as he suspects someone, he can kill whoever he is angry with, even if there is more evidence to prove that the Yin murderer is not Zhao Baiquan, it is useless, because the evidence can be forged, he is white. Zhao Baiquan is too young in the end, although he is ruthless, he can't avoid Luan Ningchuan's eyes. ”
Zhou Wenlian was really speechless at this time, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Then you can escape with Zhaohua as soon as possible, and you can escape out of the city in the name of treating Zhaohua's injuries." ”
Gu Wang Ye smiled: "That's the only way, the old general Lin came the day before yesterday, and he said that he has a way to settle us." ”
Zhou Wenlian nodded and said, "Okay, then do it." Then the prince will go and settle it quickly, I have my own measure. ”
Gu Wang Ye nodded and said: "When the Luan family comes again, I will arrange a play and send you a poisoned decoction for one night, and when they come, you deliberately knock over the decoction, and then the Luan family will think that I am going to kill you, you just need to pretend to be very scared, so that the Luan family trusts you, which is safer." ”
Zhou Wenlian nodded and said, "I'm measured, don't worry." ”
Gu Wang Ye hurriedly pulled Yue Lin to arrange, he first sent someone to the Lin family, invited General Lin to come out, and called several servants and maids who had followed the family for many years to the house, saying that the county lord's illness he wanted to think about it or send it out to ask someone for treatment, General Lin recommended a doctor to him, I heard that he specializes in treating incurable diseases, or a monk who is a Taoist, he wants the county lord to go there for treatment, but he can't leave because of something, so he wants to tell them to go with him, they are all proper people, with them he can rest assured, so he gave all the servants a reward silver, Tell them to pack up their things, and in the afternoon they will follow the lord out of the city.
Although the servants knew that something was wrong, Prince Gu ordered them not to ask much, and let them take care of the county lord, who was his last wish. The servants didn't dare to disobey the order, so they had to kowtow to Lord Gu and disperse.
There were not many servants left in the palace, all of them were servants who carried water and chopped wood, washed and swept the floor, cooked rice and cut flowers, and did rough work, among them there were six young men, seven mothers-in-law and women, all of whom were native to the capital, and the prince of Gu had also planned for them, arranging for them to be let go home before curfew at night, and preparing a rich reward of gold and silver, so that they should leave the capital as soon as the city gate was opened the next day, and not return for several months.
It is not a trivial matter for so many people to mobilize the people to leave the capital, and the spies sent by the Luan family will definitely be able to find some clues around the Gu Wangfu, and the only way to restrain Prime Minister Luan and keep these innocent people leaving the capital safely falls on Gu Wangye.
