Chapter 392: One Life for One Life
Although Xiao Hanyin felt that he looked very sincere, it didn't look like he was lying.
Still, he felt that there was something in the middle.
It is impossible for King Cheng to ignore his own blood and blood so much, and if Governor Li is really his own uncle, how can he bear to spare no effort to design and assassinate him.
After all, Governor Li will oppose King Cheng for the sake of his sister, and it stands to reason that he should love himself very much, his nephew who has lost his mother since he was a child.
Therefore, the couple felt that the man was hiding part of the truth.
"Did you know that a mysterious person came to find King Cheng today?" In order to test him, Xiao Hanyin deliberately told the news that his subordinates had discovered.
"The person who went to find him is my subordinate, in order to meet you smoothly, I specially arranged for him to divert the attention of King Cheng!" When the man mentioned becoming the king, a chill flashed in his eyes, obviously the relationship between the father and son was indeed not very good.
However, there are some things that are hard to tell if they are true or false.
Xiao Hanyin and Liu Qingshao both felt that this person's appearance was too abrupt, and they wanted to go to the military department as soon as they opened their mouths.
He is just a mere fifth-grade official, and he can't help him at all if he has no power or power, but the other party chooses to come to him, Xiao Hanyin always feels that he still has something to hide from him......
"Since King Cheng is your biological father, why don't you go to him, but come to our husband and wife for help!" Xiao Hanyin said with a dark gaze, "I don't have real power in the imperial court!" ”
"No, although your official position is not high, you have the deep trust of the emperor and the prince, and with your recommendation, I can get my wish!" He didn't think that the emperor would easily agree that King Cheng's illegitimate son would go to the military department to do things.
Now, if he wants to achieve what he wants, only Xiao Hanyin can help him.
This person seems to have no real power, but in fact, he can speak in front of the emperor and the crown prince.
"Why should we trust you?" Liu Qingshao's face was slightly cold and said, "Since you know our identity, you should know that we are celebrating the festival of becoming a king together!" ”
With their identity, how could they help the son of King Cheng.
What's more, when King Cheng was still in Jiangnan before, why didn't the Imperial City receive these news?
"I know where King Cheng hid the dead soldiers and private soldiers he cultivated in private!" The man knows in his heart that if he wants to gain the trust of others, he must give.
"Are you really willing to tell me the secret of becoming a king?" Xiao Hanyin's eyes narrowed slightly.
This man is a master of acting, and he is very good at proportion, but Xiao Hanyin still noticed a flaw in it.
"He is unkind to me, why should I be righteous to him!" The man said in a deep voice, "If it weren't for his ruthlessness and unrighteousness towards my mother, why would I have lost my mother so early and become a drag that everyone avoids!" ”
What King Cheng did made him resentful......
"I can consider your conditions, but I need to confirm whether you really know all the secrets of King Cheng!" Xiao Hanyin deliberately pretended to be attracted.
"I've been living in the shadows all these years, and I know all the things he did!" He said with a sneering face, "King Cheng thinks that if you give me a little favor and a small bribe, you can gag my mouth, it's a big joke in the world!" ”
His life will become like this because of the unsympathy of becoming a king, how can he care about the life or death of a king.
The only thing King Cheng has taught him over the years is that people don't destroy heaven and earth for their own sake.
"Okay, I agreed to your conditions!" Xiao Hanyin responded.
"I can't stay here for too long, otherwise he will find out about my whereabouts sooner or later, and when you leave for the Imperial City, I hope you can send someone to let me know!" After the man left his address, he hurriedly walked away with light skills.
"Ah Yin, how credible do you think what he said?" Liu Qingshao's eyes said coldly.
"He is quite similar to King Cheng, I think he is indeed his own son, as for what he just said is up for debate!" From beginning to end, Xiao Hanyin only believed in Yicheng.
"Then why did you promise him?" Liu Qingshao felt that the other party might not really shake out the things that King Cheng did secretly.
After all, if something really happens to King Cheng, it may not be a good thing for him.
Although he is only the illegitimate son of King Cheng, as long as he can find a way to win King Cheng's heart, he will not be so down.
Liu Qingshao felt that he deliberately came to find himself and Xiao Hanyin, obviously with other intentions.
"I deliberately promised him, but I just wanted to do it!" Xiao Hanyin hooked the corners of his lips and said, "Now that the matter we are investigating has reached a deadlock, King Cheng's side has not let go, if after I leave with Mo Xuanyu, he suddenly finds an excuse to return to the imperial city, and the emperor's plan will fall short!" ”
"So, you told King Cheng that he would go back in a few days, but it was just an excuse to force him to show his flaws?" Liu Qingshao's face froze.
"That's right, Mo Xuanyu and I decided to find out the truth before leaving!" Xiao Hanyin has always done things from the beginning, and he will never leave directly because there is no evidence.
Whether Governor Li and King Cheng had a holiday or not, they don't know.
However, judging from the current evidence, Governor Li did not do anything to hurt King Cheng, but if the matter is really as King Cheng's illegitimate son said, then it is another matter.
After all, if there is really a deep feud between the two of them, Governor Li will definitely not let go of King Cheng in private.
Xiao Hanyin felt that things were getting more and more complicated......
"Master, the mysterious man that my subordinates saw earlier has left King Cheng's study!" At this time, Xiao Hanyin's subordinates came to deliver the news. 2018
"I see, you go down first!" Xiao Han's eyes flashed.
"Could it be that the mysterious man was really deliberately arranged by King Cheng's illegitimate son?" Liu Qingshao's clear eyes flashed with a hint of shock.
"Whether this matter was planned by them together, or if it is true, I will find out one by one!" Of course, Xiao Hanyin is still inclined to have colluded with the man and King Cheng.
Most of King Cheng's heirs are very mediocre, this illegitimate son has good martial arts, and with King Cheng's unprofitable temperament, he should not be willing to give up the other party.
After all, the Chengwang Mansion needs capable people to support him, and now his sister-in-law has no talent, and he can't do it without the slightest bit of his demeanor.
If the Chengwang Mansion is handed over to his sister-in-law, sooner or later he will be defeated......
Liu Qingshao saw that he had a plan in his chest, so he didn't continue to ask.
That night, Xiao Hanyin sent a letter to the emperor and wrote everything that happened here in the letter, but he didn't say anything about King Cheng's illegitimate child.
Xiao Hanyin is still unable to determine the origin and background of the illegitimate child.
He planned to send someone to investigate carefully, confirm his identity, and his relationship with King Cheng, and then decide whether to take him back to the imperial city.
"Ah Yin, are we going back in two days?" After Liu Qingshao saw him flying a pigeon and passing the book to the emperor, he had a faint guess in his heart.
"I have already passed all the evidence we found to the emperor in the letter, and the emperor will decide whether to leave or leave it!" Xiao Hanyin didn't want to make things out of control.
What King Cheng wants is the emperor's country, and it is most appropriate to leave these things to the emperor to measure.
"I used to think that Jiangnan was very good, but now it seems that Nanshui Town is better!" Although it is not as prosperous and wealthy as the imperial city and Jiangnan, it is at least quiet and peaceful.
When they stayed in the town, they only needed to do what they wanted to do every day, and now they had to deal with King Cheng and try their best to uncover his true face, Liu Qingshao was really tired.
Every day is in the midst of calculations, and they have to fight with the spirit of 12 points anytime and anywhere, and if they are not careful, they will lose everything.
The matter of becoming the king had nothing to do with their husband and wife, but they had to come forward to investigate, and Liu Qingshao had long since lost her yearning for Jiangnan.
She just wants to get rid of King Cheng as soon as possible now, and as for other things, she really doesn't have any thoughts.
No matter how good the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is, I can't bear to be troubled all the time.
On the other side, after the emperor received Xiao Hanyin's letter, he immediately found the crown prince.
"Father, I heard that there is news from Hanyin?" The prince was also very concerned about this matter.
After all, Xiao Hanyin is his best friend of the same brother, this time he went to Jiangnan to investigate the local officials, the matter seems simple, but with King Cheng intervening, I am afraid it is not easy to find out the truth.
Ever since they left, the prince had been secretly worried about their well-being.
After all, Jiangnan is King Cheng's lair, who knows if he will secretly do something and let Xiao Hanyin and his wife have an accident on the way.
They are their right-hand men, and once they lose their assistance, even if they have the emperor's trust and support, the other princes are still ready to move.
Xiao Hanyin's previous methods shocked many people, and Liu Qingshao's financial resources were also unmatched.
Although several princes had the heart to fight, they did not dare to easily touch the prince's scales.
At present, there are many talented people around the prince, as well as the silver provided by Liu Qingshao, and the hope of other princes is slim.
However, since they were born, they were destined to fight with the prince to the death.
Even if they wanted to give up, the clan behind them wouldn't allow it.
The throne not only involves the prince personally, but also their mother family, and the slightest carelessness will be raided and exterminated.
Therefore, several princes were respectful to the prince on the surface, but in fact, they all wished that he could die early in private.
Only when the crown prince dies can they have a chance.
It's a pity that the prince's health has always been very good, and there are masters around him on weekdays, and people who are waiting for him can't get close at all, and there will be people who deliberately test poison before eating, and wanting to use ordinary methods is tantamount to dreaming about his life.
Originally, someone wanted to exchange his life for a life in private, but unfortunately the prince finally noticed it, and the person's body has not been found so far......
"Xiao Hanyin and Mo Xuanyu have checked several local officials in Jiangnan, and they don't have much of a problem!" The emperor casually handed Xiao Hanyin's letter to the crown prince.
The crown prince grew up by his side since he was a child, so the emperor trusted him very much, and now the emperor has never hidden it from him about the affairs of the court.
"When does Father plan to summon them back?" After reading the letter, the prince frowned.
He felt that there must be hidden secrets in these things, but Xiao Han had been investigating for so many days, but he couldn't find the slightest flaw, and it didn't make much sense to continue to stay in Jiangnan.
In fact, the biggest reason why the emperor asked him to escort King Cheng to Jiangnan was to block King Cheng's mouth and make him not set foot in the imperial city in the future.
"Tomorrow, I will leave the book to Xiao Hanyin and let them come back!" The emperor sighed helplessly.
