"Shut up."

"He never told you all this, did he?"

"I told you to stop!"

"You always thought that he was forced by us to resist step by step, didn't you?" Gong Hao didn't pay attention to Gong Hao's shouting, and his expression became more and more hideous, "You must not know, in fact, from the very beginning, he recognized the dragon chair and regarded me, the third brother and the eldest brother as mortal enemies!" ”

"Why do you say that?" There was a fire in my heart for no reason, and I heard my own tone stiff and abnormal, "Since I first met you next to the Qianjiao Spring when I entered the Prince's Mansion, you have the heart to get rid of me." If it weren't for the siege of Miyahata, you must have attacked me a long time ago! After the Wanshou Palace Banquet, you and the palace curtain conspired to coerce the pyrotechnic master Xu Jin with his wife's life, and ordered him to create a flying knife to stab the emperor! ”

"You and I both know that the lethality of that firework is extremely low, and it is not enough to assassinate anyone." Gong Yu sneered, "The original purpose of me and the third brother was just to blame the boss who was in the East Palace at the time!" ”

When Gong Yu said this, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the palace curtains sitting behind him. Following his gaze, I saw that Gong Wei was still stunned, and he seemed to have lost all his mind, just shaking his filthy head, slowly moving his scattered gaze over the three of us.

"Our plan is to let Xu Jin confess to us in front of the emperor at the time of the crime, and then confess to the boss after torture, so that my father can not wait to kill the prince and kill his father in order to ascend the throne. However, at the beginning, Xu Jin pointed the finger at the East Palace in front of the emperor, and at first the third brother and I thought that he was a commoner, but he must have been nervous for a while and forgot our instructions. It wasn't until you broke into the palace that night, and he said to everyone before committing suicide that he identified the fifth child, that we knew that we were calculated! ”

My mind drifted back to the day I visited Xu Jin's house in Xishi. That day... I have found Xu Jin's wife and want to pull her to the front of the palace to retract the confession for the palace flag, but before I can persuade him, the Hou Ye hurried over with a large team of men and horses, and couldn't help but say that he would cut her under the sword.

And after that, things also subsidedly and staggeringly. Gong Wan was released from prison, the prince was still favored, and the emperor no longer pursued the truth of the assassination.

I slowly looked at the palace flags beside me. But this time, he didn't look back at me. just silently stared at the weird smile on Gong Hao's face, and his slightly bloodshot eyes didn't blink.

After that time, Miyahata was only rehabilitated and released from prison. In addition to receiving the emperor's request for nothing, he did not get any benefits. I heard my voice tremble a little, "Gong Hao, just admit what you have done, don't bite others to provoke slander." ”

"Am I lying to him? Lian Gui Ying, my younger brother has a delicate heart, how did he fall in love with you, a stupid fly? Gong Yu closed his eyes and shook his head and sneered, "That time he stirred the troubled waters, and he really didn't get half of the benefits." But the clues of all things were disturbed, and the father lost the ability to find out the truth. In this way, whether it was the East Palace where Xu Jin first climbed and bitten, or the third brother who was not involved in the whole thing, they all became the object of his father's suspicion. ”

I was dumbfounded, and I couldn't help but turn my head again to look at the palace flag beside me.

"Then Lian Gui Hotaru, you might as well guess. What kind of method did my good brother use to make Xu Jin commit suicide regardless of his life and that of his wife? ”

Miyahata suddenly let out a sneer, and finally spoke again: "After that incident passed, my father didn't do anything to everyone. I thought that no one would check again, but I didn't want to, the fourth brother was so careful. ”

Gong Hao sneered: "We gave the pyrotechnic master such a rich reward, allowing him to buy a three-in, three-out house in the East Market, and the rest is enough for his family to spend a lifetime." If you were betrayed like this, you also need to find out, right? ”

"How did you find out?"

"Accounts. This was something that should have been found out before using him, but we didn't have time to plan in the first place, so we ignored it. When I learned that Lihou had gone to his mansion in the West City, I wondered why he had to let his wife stay in the dilapidated old residence when he had already obtained so much money. After someone checked his account, I learned that Xu Jin had already spent all the money that the third brother had given him, and even the house in Dongshi had already been purchased. ”

"It was bought for his outer chamber." Gong Wan chuckled coldly, "Fourth brother, you and the third brother have taken a fancy to the craftsman's craft, but they have never been willing to understand his life. Xu Jin has not had a harmonious relationship with his wife for many years, but a few years ago, he fell in love with a Ya Ya in the Peach Blossom Building. Xu Jin relied on his own craftsmanship to save money, and finally redeemed the deed for Na Yaqi. Because of this, even his parents fell out with him. ”

"I see."

"After Xu Jin got your money, he even accepted that Yaqi as his outer room, and bought a spacious property in Dongshi for him to live in. It was at that time that I realized that he was hiding a secret from everyone. ”

I suddenly remembered that Xu Jin had his last words before committing suicide in the house - "Exchange the house for some money, take advantage of the young family to find a family, and don't wait for me to go home from now on." ”

And after seeing his dwelling and his wife, I also wondered that his house was old and dilapidated, and not worth much; And his wife is also an old man, and she has no youth and beauty at all, so how can she remarry; What's even more strange is that he hasn't been seen for a long time, so why do you think that his wife, who is not with him, will wait for him to come home?

Yachi, Outer Room, Kanaya Zangjiao...... If so, it all makes sense.

Gong Hao stopped smiling bitterly and said quietly: "Not only did you perceive this secret, but you also held it hostage. You threaten the life of the outer chamber to make him turn around and do things for you. Don't point the finger at anyone, but at yourself, and after dragging me and my third brother into the water, you can put it to death and come back to life. ”

"I also want to thank the third brother for his method. Holding and persecuting this kind of shady trick, you do it, why can't I do it? ”

"You did it naturally, and you did it more beautifully than we did." Gong Hao closed his eyes, smiled and shook his head, "The third brother is ruthless enough, but after all, there is no such thing as you." ”

"The fourth brother has an overreputation. It's just that my younger brother can't figure it out, since you understand that you have to do things, why don't you tell the third brother about it after finding out all this? ”

Gong Hao's shaking head froze at the angle of raising up, and he slowly opened his eyes: "You just came to me for this, didn't you?" ”

"The fourth brother is really smart. Xu Jin retorted that after all, the third brother may not be able to take care of it, but I expected that you might pay attention. So I sent someone to monitor Xu Jin's black account, and sure enough, I saw someone from your county palace to investigate. Gong Wan smiled softly, "Fourth brother, since you have already discovered the clue, why don't you tell the third brother and take precautions against me?" ”

"Your pretended inquiries are all for my words...... Believe me, if it weren't for the providence of God, I would definitely tell the third brother about this matter, and end you silently while you were still in your fledgling. Gong Hao's smile was tired and sentimental, and then, he looked at me playfully, "It's all because of her." ”

I couldn't help but take a half step back in surprise: "What did you say?" ”

"You do." Before Gong Hao could answer, the Gong Wan beside him had already laughed, "After Gui Ying and Big Brother got married, I felt that you looked at us differently. Fourth brother, you are such a powerful ear and eye, I have confirmed that no one is there when I dived by Jiaoquan and even all the way back to the small courtyard that night, how did you know? ”

"Do you see that I have insight into you? Old Five, no matter how powerful my ears and eyes are, they are not as good as your talent for seeing people. ”

"It's not talent. Fourth brother, if you had grown up trembling like me since you were a child, you would have such an instinct to observe words and feelings. ”

"It doesn't matter," Gong Hao sighed softly, his gaze softened a little, "Old Five, when I knew about you and Lian Guiying, I hadn't found out the beginning and end of Xu Jin's accounts. At that time, my third brother and I were jealous of Lian Gui Ying, worried that she would help Donggong rise. So I was full of thoughts about dealing with the boss, and I didn't take you to heart. ”

"But since you've decided that Gui Hotaru's intelligence will become a threat to you, even if you know that she won't help your eldest brother, you should turn the gun around and deal with us."

Gong Hao shook his head tiredly again, and his smile was a little longing: "Fifth brother, you may not believe it, even if you don't return to Yingying to help you, the third brother will clean you up sooner or later." And the reason I chose to keep you for the time being was because ......"

As Gong Yu spoke, he gradually weakened his voice as if he was intoxicated. Miyahata exchanged a puzzled look with me, and asked hesitantly, "Because of what?" ”

"Because you love each other."

"-What...?"

"Ridiculous, isn't it?" Gong Hao's smile became thicker, and there was even a hint of flushing on his filthy sallow cheeks, "You love Gui Ying, Gui Ying loves you." The unreserved and unabashed love of the two of you made me choose to let you go. ”

"Fourth brother, are you kidding me?"

"Old Five, you must have a hard time understanding me. Although for some reason, you have always been timid and silent in front of your father over the years. But you and I have been playing together since childhood, how can I not know that you are a person who loves and hates and indulges in wanton love and hatred in your bones? ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"You made a love on the night of the eldest brother and concubine's wedding, which has surprised me a lot. Then, looking at the two of you getting along, I can clearly see that you don't have half a purpose for her feelings, and she is the same for you. ”

Gong Hao's voice is a warm and soft voice that I have never heard before: "I have been attached to my third brother since I was a teenager, and my awe of him from the beginning has gradually turned into a sympathetic dependence. After learning that he had the heart to take the throne, helping him to take the throne became my only long-cherished wish in this life. Later, I gradually realized what he was thinking about me... You won't understand. When I realized that feeling, it was already weighing on me, it was so heavy, so heavy that I was overwhelmed and breathless. ”
