Chapter 295 · Nearest the king nearest the gallows

"Father, I heard from my eldest brother that you know a clue about the assassin?" Xiao Hanyin has been checking for most of the day, but he has never gotten any news.

That's why he decided to come to Xiao Yifeng to test his tone!

"Yes, I do know something about him, but if you want me to tell you, you'll have to move back!" Xiao Yifeng directly stated his conditions.

"Father, what am I in your eyes, a tool at your disposal, or a puppet at your mercy?" Xiao Hanyin knew that he had other thoughts.

However, in order to gamble on this chance, he finally came.

Who knew that Xiao Yifeng really didn't disappoint him, and he didn't say any clues, so he talked to her about the conditions first......

"As long as you promise me to continue to return to the mansion and take on the future of the Xiao family, I will tell you everything about the background of the assassin and everything I know!" Xiao Yifeng had already guessed that he would not let go.

After all, he is no longer the child that he cared for back then.

"So, in your mind, the most important thing is always the right and the honor of the Xiao family, have you ever thought about what I want?" Xiao Hanyin's face was full of mockery.

Xiao Yifeng always looks like he is high and can't tolerate others' disobedience, but he doesn't know what he did, but he pushed away all his relatives and friends who originally respected him.

"You are the Xiao family, and you should contribute to the family!" Xiao Yifeng didn't feel that his request was excessive.

He always wanted to make the Xiao family the largest family in the imperial city......

"If you really treated me as the Xiao family at the beginning, why did I fake my death and leave?" The corners of Xiao Hanyin's lips hooked slightly.

"I'm also for the good of the Xiao family!" Speaking of the events of that year, Xiao Yifeng felt a little uncomfortable.

"Don't use this as an excuse, would you like to tell me about the assassins?" Xiao Han didn't want to help him, but the current situation forced him to endure it for the time being.

When the assassin's whereabouts were discovered, he didn't want to have anything to do with Xiao Yifeng anymore.

"If you don't say yes, I won't say a word!" Xiao Yifeng's attitude is very tough.

"Father, don't forget, this matter was ordered by the emperor to investigate, if you really refuse to say, I can only report it to the emperor truthfully!" Xiao Hanyin had no choice but to use the emperor to suppress him.

"How dare you use the emperor to press me?" Xiao Yifeng's face was cold and said, "Don't forget your identity!" ”

"I call you father, because you gave me a life, but a few years ago our father-son relationship was gone!"

Xiao Han said in a deep voice, "Today I am here for the assassin's business, if you don't want to say anything, I will never be reluctant, but I will tell the emperor truthfully, what he will do when the time comes, it is not something I can predict!" ”

"Rebel, do you have to be angry with me today?" Xiao Yifeng's chest rose and fell.

He just wanted Xiao Hanyin to return to the Xiao family and revitalize the lintel with Xiao Hanchen, everything he did was for the General's Mansion.

Why no one can understand his painstaking efforts.

He felt very uncomfortable, but Xiao Hanyin threatened him with the emperor.

"I'm not mad at you, I'm telling the truth!" They knew a lot of things in their hearts, but Xiao Yifeng refused to think about it.

Since he chose to leave, he never thought of coming back, and lived a life of being suppressed and manipulated by Xiao Yifeng.

The atmosphere in the General's Mansion has become very depressing since he woke up.

But Xiao Yifeng didn't realize how disgusting his behavior was.

They are indeed father and son, but this does not mean that Xiao Yifeng has the right to dominate his life.

If the father is unkind, how can he expect his son to be filial to him......

"Xiao Hanyin, are you really unwilling to do what I say?" Xiao Yifeng suppressed the anger in his heart and asked again.

"The saint is very suspicious today, if my father has already considered concealing His Majesty's fate, I have nothing to say!" After Xiao Hanyin glanced at him, he quickly left.

He wasn't interested in staying and watching Xiao Yifeng lose his temper.

Xiao Hanyin was right, not long after he left, Xiao Yifeng smashed everything in the house.

Since detoxification, he has been recuperating at home.

Although the emperor pardoned him, he also demoted him.

The once glorious general has become a fourth-grade official, and such a big gap makes him feel very bad.

However, he must obey the emperor's will.

What's more, the emperor did not directly convict him, and it was already extraordinarily generous to let him continue to be in prison.

If he does anything that displeases the emperor, then he may be removed from office directly.

Xiao Hanyin's words were undoubtedly a warning to him.

He was a father, but he was warned by his own son, how could he swallow this breath in his heart.

However, he really didn't dare to anger the emperor......

The news of Xiao Hanyin's meeting with his father soon reached the ears of the emperor.

Although he pardoned Xiao Yifeng, he still secretly sent people to pay attention to what he did.

The mistakes he once made are not big or small.

The emperor will spare him from prison, completely because the two brothers Xiao Hanyin are loyal and have made a lot of contributions to the court.

If Xiao Yifeng still refuses to settle down, he will not give anyone's affection this time.

When the emperor learned that their father and son had met, he was a little unhappy.

Although he believed that Xiao Hanyin would not betray him easily, he couldn't let go of Xiao Yifeng. Sissy

After all, Xiao Yifeng is his biological father, how can the father and son have an overnight feud, and Xiao Yi used to be a first-class general in the imperial court, but he secretly has a lot of henchmen.

He has gathered a lot of hearts and forces in the barracks.

Xiao Yifeng is a person with a lot of ambitions, and he followed the second prince at the beginning is the best example.

As long as Xiao Yifeng can change these, he will not always pursue them.

However, he once secretly stumbled on the crown prince, and the emperor has always been haunted.

If the emperor hadn't taken into account that Xiao Hanyin's relationship with him was very cold, he wouldn't have reused Xiao Hanyin at all.

After thinking about it carefully, he didn't summon Xiao Hanyin directly, but secretly ordered someone to call Xiao Hanchen over.

The relationship between Xiao Hanchen and Xiao Yifeng's father and son is not so bad, and he spent a lot of effort to save his father.

These are all things that Xiao Hanyin did not do.

Therefore, the emperor has always valued the two brothers more than Xiao Hanyin, not because Xiao Hanchen's ability is not as good as his younger brother, but because Xiao Hanyin does not have too many ties.

His weakness is only Liu Qingshao.

However, Xiao Hanchen is different from his younger brother, he is the eldest son of the General's Mansion, and he is destined to take on family responsibilities in the future.

Xiao Yifeng was also good to him at the beginning, so he directly found Xiao Hanchen.

"Weichen see Your Majesty!" After Xiao Hanchen received the emperor's command, he immediately rushed over.

"I have summoned you today because I have an important thing for you to do!"

The emperor said expressionlessly, "There is a group of bandits in Chenzhou who are very rampant, often attacking past merchants, and there has been a lot of trouble so far, I want you to lead troops over and arrest those bandits, are you willing?" ”

"Wechen obeys!" The emperor himself has spoken, how can there be room for him to object.

"Prepare yourself and set off today!" Seeing that his attitude was not bad, the emperor dissipated a lot of doubts in his heart.

"Your Majesty, our Xiao family has been loyal to the imperial court for generations, and Ah Yin and I will definitely uphold the will of our ancestors and die for Your Majesty and the imperial court!" Xiao Hanchen knew that the emperor was deliberately testing himself.

At the same time, he also wanted to transfer him away from Xiao Yifeng's side.

Xiao Hanchen knew as soon as he guessed that it must be Xiao Hanyin who went to see his father and let the emperor know.

In fact, they are father and son, and it is actually nothing to meet each other.

However, the emperor has always been suspicious of Xiao Yifeng, so as long as they get too close, it will attract his dissatisfaction.

Xiao Hanchen knew in his heart that if it weren't for the assassin's business, he wouldn't let Xiao Hanyin go back.

After all, only if Xiao Hanyin stayed away from Xiao Yifeng, he and Liu Qingshao would not be affected.

Xiao Hanchen is not only Xiao Yifeng's son, but also Xiao Hanyin's eldest brother, in fact, he is really uncomfortable in the middle.

It's just that the two of them are people he cares about, and he has been suffering in his heart for this matter.

He wanted to balance the relationship, but no matter what he did, nothing seemed to change.

Now, the emperor's words have made him enlightened.

For the sake of the Xiao family's future, he must find a way to remind his father not to try to control the lives of their two brothers anymore.

"I naturally believe in you, otherwise I wouldn't have let you exterminate the bandits!" The emperor saw that he was a man of understanding and had always been loyal, so he planned not to test him again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Hearing this, Xiao Hanchen's heart was silently relieved.

If Xiao Hanyin was implicated by them and made the emperor suspicious, he would always feel guilty.

Xiao Yifeng's thoughts, he is not unclear, but recently he has been in his father's ear, talking about the emperor letting the second prince go to the fiefdom.

The second prince who was once high-spirited, the emperor expelled him, not to mention their Xiao family.

He hoped that his father would understand his good intentions.

As a result, in the end, his father didn't listen, and he still tried to make the Xiao family live around him as before.

Xiao Hanchen was very tired of this.

He euphemistically expressed his loyalty to the emperor, and at the same time directly stated that Xiao Yifeng would never participate in court politics again.

The emperor gave him an idle position, the purpose was self-evident, but he couldn't see through it.

"Now that you know in your heart, I won't say some things, you know what to do!" After the emperor said a few words, he directly let him leave.

After Xiao Hanchen went back, he immediately sent a message to Xiao Hanyin, asking him not to contact himself and Xiao Yifeng again if he had nothing to do in the future.

"Big brother, how could such news suddenly come over, isn't it something happened in the General's Mansion?" Xiao Hanyin was extremely stunned by this.

In the past, their brothers had a very good relationship, and Xiao Hanyin often met Xiao Hanchen.

"I guess it has something to do with my father!" He also felt that something was wrong.

Xiao Hanchen's care for him, he has always kept in his heart.

"You mean to say that someone made a big fuss about going to see their father?" Liu Qingshao didn't expect things to be like this.

"The emperor has always been jealous of the Xiao family, especially the things that his father did at the beginning, the emperor seems to have spared him, but in fact, he has not let go of his heart!" Although Xiao Hanchen's letter was written very vaguely, he still guessed some clues.

"So, the eldest brother didn't let us have too much contact with the General's Mansion?" Liu Qingshao's eyes flickered.

Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, such a day is indeed very sad.
