Chapter 144: Words Exposed
Rong Che just mentioned it, but he didn't expect Ji Yanning's vigilance to be so high.
He lowered his eyes and chuckled, and said, "It's me who lost my words." ”
Ji Yanning said: "From the acquaintance to the present, I am very grateful to the prince for always helping me, but even if it is a friend, many things cannot be treated honestly, I hope the prince takes care." ”
She stood up, saluted Rong Che, and said, "Since Xu'er is not here, I will come back next time." ”
Rong Che bowed his head, and he didn't look angry at her words.
He followed, intending to send her out of the house in person.
"The prince stayed. Ji Yanning saw him follow and said.
Rong Che said: "It's okay, I'll send you to the door." ”
He said this, Ji Yanning couldn't refuse anymore, and the two of them slowly walked in the direction of the mansion gate side by side.
The Xuan Wangfu is very large and very deserted, Ji Yanning has been here several times, except for some subordinates and the guards in the mansion, there seems to be no other people, at Rong Che's age, it is almost time to choose a concubine, but it seems that I have not heard that there are side concubines or concubines in the mansion.
However, Ji Yanning likes this environment very much, where women get together, there are many troubles.
Rong Che said: "Next time Yan Xu comes, I will send someone to inform you." ”
"Thank you. Ji Yanning said, "I will send him to Jiangzhou in a few days, and I will ask the prince to help keep it secret." ”
Rong Che's eyes flashed slightly, and he said: "This has nothing to do with me in the first place, I naturally don't talk much, but this person is not easy to deal with." ”
If she wants to send Yan Xu away blatantly, she is afraid that Yan Zheng will not give up.
Ji Yanning said: "In his eyes, Xu'er is just a useless fool, even if Xu'er is injured or lost outside, for him, it is just a loss of a burden, maybe he should be happy." ”
Fortunately, there is no such Ying family whose identity may be discovered by others at any time.
Listening to Ji Yanning's tone, he was undisguised in disgust with the words.
He knew that Ji Yanning's statement that Yan Xu was her life-saving benefactor when she was young was not true, but her disgust for Yan Zheng and her concern for Yan Xu were real.
Since Ji Yanning has the ability to pull down the Hubu Shangshu and even push Cen Qingshan to the position of the Hubu, Rong Che is absolutely a person, sooner or later she will have to say to Shangzhong Debo, but Yan Zheng is not a junior who allows others to bully, and these two people will have a competition.
Of course, the words they were reciting at this time were indeed not idle.
He was in the study, staring at his subordinates reporting everything they had found out in the past few days, his eyebrows furrowed.
From the beginning when Yan Jinzhong became inexplicably stupid, he asked people to find out who was the most suspicious, originally thought it was Aunt Lan, but with her brain, it seems that she can't be so meticulous.
"Master, my subordinates found out something. His subordinates said, "At the beginning, the second young master had a conflict with a woman disguised as a man in Baifang Pavilion, and later Xiao Shaobei arrived and injured the second young master, saying that she was from the Dingbei Hou Mansion, and the second young master asked people to check the details of that woman, and there has been no clue, but the woman in the Qinglou supported by that woman was the assassin who assassinated the five princes." ”
When Yan Zheng heard Xiao Shaobei's name, his eyes narrowed slightly.
originally thought that Xiao Jifeng was dead, he and the emperor could sit back and relax, and no one would turn over the past, but this Xiao Shaobei seemed to have to go against them.
"And before the second young master became stupid, the little guy who followed him said that the second young master beat the eldest young master on the street, but was saved by two women, one of whom was the son who had a conflict with the second young master in the Qinglou that day. ”
Yan Zheng raised his eyebrows: "Two women?"
The subordinate said: "Those two women are about fifteen years old, it seems that they should be the young lady of the family, although they don't know martial arts, but they brought a guard with very strong martial arts, directly kidnapped the second young master, and then left with the eldest young master, at that time, it seemed that Duan Wufang, the young secretary of Dali Temple, was also there." ”
Yan Zheng took a deep breath, and Duan was flawless again.
"Go and call the eldest young master. Yan Zheng shouted to the little guy outside the door.
The little guy guarding the door answered, and then left quickly.
Yan Zheng sorted out the things of this period in his mind.
The second son's leg was broken because of a dispute with someone else in the Qinglou, involving Duan Wuflaw and Xiao Shaobei, as well as the prostitute who wanted to assassinate the fifth prince in the Qinglou and the unknown woman, and later met Duan Wuflaw and the unknown woman again before being stupid.
After that, his back house was in chaos.
There must be some tricks in it, but people outside alone still can't make Yanfu so embarrassed, so there may be spies in this mansion.
It didn't take long for the little guy who had gone to pass the word back.
"Master Qiqi, the eldest young master is not in the mansion. ”
Yan Zheng's face had already sunk: "Why is he not in the mansion! Didn't you want to keep looking at the eldest young master!"
The little guy lowered his head and said: "The young master likes to walk around in the mansion on weekdays, and the subordinates who look at him can't persuade him, if he does anything to the eldest young master again, he will make even more trouble, and even rush out of the mansion directly, so those subordinates have no choice." ”
The words became deeper and deeper.
......
When night fell, Yan Xu climbed over the wall and returned to Yanfu, quietly going back to his courtyard.
Walking into the courtyard, it seems to be much quieter than usual today, and if you hear the sound of him coming back on weekdays, the nurse and Ah Ren will definitely come out.
His room was lit by candlelight, and he didn't think much before pushing the door in.
"Young Master. ”
Ah Ren, who fell to the ground, was covered in blood and was beaten to death, and when he saw Yan Xu pushing the door in, he spoke with difficulty, and those eyes seemed to be begging him, begging him to leave quickly.
Looking at Ah Ren, whose face was covered in blood and couldn't move, Yan Xu was extremely surprised and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.
"Master......" Ah Ren said something vaguely, but unfortunately he was seriously injured and couldn't finish his words at all.
"Did your father make you beat you like this? Why did he beat you!" Yan Xu's heart burned with anger, in this Yan Mansion, only the nurse and Ah Ren were good to him, why did his father want to beat his people like this.
Seeing that Ah Ren couldn't speak clearly, Yan Xu helped him up and said, "Don't worry, I'll get up and find a doctor for you." ”
He wanted to help Ren up and put him on his bed to rest, but as soon as he lifted the person up, he saw Yan Zheng coming out of the inner room and the men beside him.
Yan Xu was stunned, but he didn't expect his father to come to his room a long time ago.
What did he just say......
Yan Zheng looked at Yan Xu, a chill emanated from his body, and his eyebrows were full of anger.
It turns out that this son has been pretending to be stupid and has deceived him for so many years.
"Father......" Yan Xu stood in place, a little stunned.
Yan Zheng sneered: "You still have my father in your eyes, who has been pretending to be crazy and stupid for so many years, and he has deceived me all over the place!"
Yan Xu lowered his eyes, his expression was complicated, and he quickly calmed down, and the corners of his lips hooked up with a sarcastic smile: "If I hadn't pretended to be crazy, but I was afraid that I wouldn't live today, how could my father have ever cared about my life and death, and whether I was crazy or not, what does it matter to my father?"
"Rebel!" Yan Zheng glared at him, "You still don't know what was wrong!"
Yan Xu met his gaze, his eyes were cold: "What's wrong with me? Can I choose my own birth, if I know that it is your son, I would rather die at birth than have to suffer so much humiliation." ”
Yan Zheng glared at him angrily, and the angry eyes seemed to swallow him, and his hands clenched into fists, and his muscles burst out.
Yan Xu saw that Ah Ren was even weaker, and he didn't care about the signs, so he directly helped the person into the inner room and let him lie on his bed.
The room in his room was very basic, even the quilt was old, and it seemed to have been used for many years.
Yan Xu was about to go out to find the doctor, but as soon as he left the door of the room, the guards had already surrounded his courtyard.
He looked back at Yan Zheng: "I'm going to go out to find a doctor, otherwise Ah Ren will die." ”
"This Diao slave didn't report it, and even helped you hide it, and you were innocent. Yan Zheng said indifferently, "From today onwards, you don't want to step out of this courtyard again!"
"Why?" Yan Xu was unconvinced.
Yan Zheng looked at him: "Why do you ask? Don't think that I don't know what you have done in the mansion recently, how much of your second brother and third brother's affairs are your handiwork, you know it yourself." ”
Yan Xu said: "They have done their own sins and cannot live, what do they have to do with me?"
Yan Zheng naturally didn't believe his words: "The day Zhong'er became stupid, you met him, right? Who was the woman who took you away at that time!"
Yan Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, but he didn't expect his father to suspect Ji Yanning.
Seeing that he didn't refute immediately, Yan Zheng knew that he had guessed eight or nine, these things were inseparable from Yan Xu, that unknown woman had a lot to do with it, and when Yan Xu provoked Yan Anjin to go to Yan Youde's courtyard to make trouble, he might guess that Yan Xu was not really stupid.
"Zhong'er and De'er are both your younger brothers, how can you bear to ruin them?" Yan Zheng looked at him, extremely disappointed.
Yan Xu did not have a trace of warmth: "They have never regarded me as an elder brother, and no one in this family treats me as a burden? I have been like this since I was a child, no one will care about me, and the so-called family members have abused me unscrupulously, didn't my father always know about it? Or did my father naively think that they had bullied me for so many years, and I would still treat them as relatives?"
The words were slightly stunned, he looked at the person standing straight in front of him, he was already twenty years old, I don't know what happened, he had grown taller than himself, with distinct facial features, just like the man who died under his hands back then.
Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the baby in swaddling clothes has grown into a scheming person, and he actually played with him in the palm of his hand, making him fall so big, it is really a tiger.
