Chapter 414: The Man Behind the Scenes
Xiao Da had never been so scared.
Even when he was young and fighting, he licked the blood with a knife, and when he fell asleep today, he didn't know if he would be alive tomorrow, and all he thought about in his mind was whether he could eat enough and whether he would be promoted.
But now, he is famous and in a high position, but he is afraid.
Lou Yan stood in front of him and said slowly: "Your lady, although her family background is lower and she can't act on the stage, she is sincere to you. And your son, who is now half stupid and half stupid, without your protection, can his mother protect him? Besides, your Yue's family knows the wind and the rudder the most, and knows that it is King Kang's Mansion who wants your life, but I am afraid that I will not even dare to take them in. ”
"General Xiao, the wealth you spent half your life fighting for with your life is probably going to disappear."
Xiao Da looked up at him.
In fact, he has never taken Lou Yan in his eyes.
What about being born into a famous family? What about being full of talent? It's just a vicious dog next to the emperor.
And the emperor is just a puppet he guards.
The vicious dog around the puppet, no matter how fierce it is, is just a show.
It was only at this moment that he realized the horror of this vicious dog.
Every word he says pokes at his own soft underbelly.
"So what?" He said in a hoarse voice, "What's the use of you saying this to me?" Is it possible, do you have a way to save me? ”
Lou Yan smiled: "Of course I can't save you, even if I can save you, I can't save you." He leaned over and whispered, "Every night, the brothers and gentlemen who died at your hands wail in my ear, and make it difficult for me to sleep!" ”
Xiao Da's pupils shrank, staring at him.
"You...... Know? ”
Lou Yan still smiled: "Why don't I know?" Four years ago, you were a commander in the Jing Navy, and under the pretext of training, you disguised yourself as a pirate with your own men, and entered the Boundless Sea Pavilion in the middle of the night, asking for the prince's life. My brothers, brothers, and gentlemen, almost all of them died at your hands. Xiao Da, this revenge, do you think I will take revenge? ”
After a while, Xiao Da finally said: "When you enter Beijing, you really have another plan!" ”
Lou Yan smiled and groaned: "You know it's late now." ”
yes, it's late. The prince was disgusted with him, and he didn't even have a chance to deliver the news to him.
"Tell me what you want to do, then? Do you want me to switch to you? ”
Lou Yan said contemptuously: "I said, you will definitely die." ”
"And what do you want?"
Lou Yan turned around and clicked on the pile of files on the small case: "You have done so many things, there are many people under your hands, right?" Anyway, if you're dead, these people won't be needed, how about me? At the very least, I can save the lives of your wife and children. ”
"Why should I trust you?" A light flashed in Xiao Da's mind, and he suddenly understood, "It's you!" You wrote that letter! ”
Lou Yan smiled and said nothing.
Xiao Da completely understood: "The little monk who handed the note is also your person, he stole the letter with his hand, and I was speechless in front of the world!" ”
He said that there was someone else who met the princess, and the golden hairpin was inserted in his back. He said that someone had handed him a letter to come to the temple, but he couldn't find the letter at all.
It was precisely because of what he said that there was no example at all, and finally exhausted the trust of the son.
"You've done me like this, and you want to leave me?" Xiao Da is incredible.
These Wenchen, you want to be shameless!
Lou Yan looked calm, without blushing at all: "You have something to ask for, I have something to rely on, don't you just take what you need?" ”
Xiao Da glared at this hateful face, and finally fell into despair.
The other party can calculate successfully, to put it bluntly, it is because the prince of King Kang is mean and unkind.
Otherwise, with his merits, how could he have given him a chance to defend himself.
It's just that over the years, he has done all the bad things for King Kang's mansion, and he doesn't even have a friend, and now he has no way to ask for help.
What's more, Lou Yan has collected the evidence so completely, and now even the prince comes forward, he can't save him.
"How can I trust you when you've hurt me so far?" Xiao Da said.
Lou Yan smiled.
His heart was moved.
"It doesn't matter if you don't believe me, you just need to trust one person."
"Who?"
"Zheng Guogong."
Xiao Da was taken aback.
Zheng Guogongfu, the founder of Da Shun, has been unfading for a hundred years, and still holds the military power.
has been able to be rich for so long, and the Zheng Guogong Mansion has its own reliance.
They hardly participated in the struggle for imperial power, and only obeyed the emperor's orders. Even if she becomes the eldest princess's in-laws, after the new emperor ascends the throne, she will be divided in peace.
Moreover, they have always contributed money and efforts to help the bereaved families of military personnel, and every year they donate large sums of money to reduce the burden on the national treasury. Even the opponents of Zheng Guogong's Mansion cannot deny this.
If Zheng Guogong comes forward and promises to take care of his wife and children......
After being silent for a long time, Xiao Da finally relented: "Wait until I see Zheng Guogong." ”
Lou Yan nodded, turned around and called, "Someone!" ”
The doors of the temple opened, and the guards and scribes poured in.
"Send General Xiao back to the prison."
"Yes."
The scribes cleaned up the court, and the guards escorted Xiao Da, acting in an orderly manner, but there was not even a superfluous word.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Da shuddered.
He changed his mind.
These people were not given by the emperor, but cultivated by Lou Yan himself.
originally thought that he was a vicious dog beside the emperor, but now they know that when they didn't know it, this vicious dog had become the black hand behind the scenes.
The emperor is no longer a puppet of King Kang's mansion.
It's his puppet of Lou Yan.
……
Xiao Da was sent back to the prison.
After a while, the Imperial Physician Yan came in to treat his injuries.
Xiao Da sighed: "I didn't expect to see you as Imperial Doctor Yan!" ”
Imperial Physician Yan smiled and changed his dressing and said, "General Xiao is in good health, this injury is not a big problem, but it is a little too much movement, and it is more difficult to heal." ”
"Who knows if there's a chance to heal." Xiao Da said as he groped around his body, "It seems to be a little painful here." ”
"Really? Take a look. ”
Imperial Physician Yan probed over, and a cloth ball was stuffed into his hand.
He smiled and withdrew his hand: "It's nothing, you can rest assured." ”
Imperial Physician Yan turned around and put the various medical tools back into the medicine box, along with the blood-stained gauze he had replaced.
"The general will take care of his injuries and take his leave."
Xiao Da nodded, watching him be taken out by the jailer and leave the prison, and breathed a sigh of relief.
If the prince believed his explanation, then not only would his wife and children be safe, but he would also be able to be the commander of the forbidden army himself.
It's ridiculous that Lou Si told him such an important secret, so that he had the capital to intercede with the prince.
Fools know how to choose.
Xiao Da sneered in his heart and decided to sleep on his stomach for a while.
However, as soon as he closed his eyes, the door of the prison opened again.
Xiao Da turned his head, and at first glance he saw Lou Yan in a scarlet robe, and at second glance, he ......
Imperial Doctor Yan who just got out of here!
His eyes widened suddenly, and he watched Lou Yan take Imperial Doctor Yan into the cell.
The cloth dumplings written with blood stains fell lightly in front of him.
Lou Yan looked at him and seemed to smile: "General Xiao, if you are like this, this official will be disappointed." ”
