Vol. II-22 The Owner of a Small Carpentry Shop (Part II)
Owner of a small carpentry shop (below)
After the discussion, the brothers and Lian'er returned to the small courtyard in the south again. Since Xinjie was the target of this attack, it was up to him to interrogate. After being held here for a few hours, no one came to ask him, and although Wang Yong was a little confused in his heart, he was still very calm on the surface.
Before they could start questioning, Xinjie had Lan Xin and her father and brother invited. After Lan Xin came, she still focused on Xinjie until the questioning began.
At the beginning, Wang Yong was very calm about the questioning, and asked him if he knew why he came, and he actually said very calmly: "Obviously, that stupid girl from Lan Xin didn't succeed." I see there's a beautiful woman standing over there, and it's probably your cousin. It's beautiful. I found out that you are a good boy, every woman is so beautiful. I just don't know if it's better to be in bed or if Lan Xin is more sassy? Hahaha ...
"Aren't you afraid that if you really provoke me, I'll slap you to death? Or did you want me to slap you to death with one slap? Xinjie asked very blandly. The man was asked such a question and spoke so plainly, which really made Wang Yong feel a little scared.
"It's a dead one anyway, whatever."
"Why do I want you to die? What good will it do me if you die? ”
"I stole Tang Sangongzi's wife, of course I am going to be executed by you."
Xinjie suddenly looked at him with a smile: "From this point of view, I seem to be grateful to you." Wang Yong looked at him in surprise, and then looked at Lan Xin, who was standing in the corner of the hall, Lan Xin's face was pale at this time, and her eyes were blank.
Xinjie suddenly changed back to a flat expression: "Why did Lan Xin come to kill me?" ”
"If you don't die, Lan Xin won't follow me with all her heart."
"Could it be that your prince Temur exchanged five hundred taels of gold for a bottle of poison for your lover's personal affairs? No wonder he was always discouraged in the face of their Great Khan. ”
"How do you know about Lord Temur?"
"Is the prince's gold mine almost finished? Can you only dig some black stones? If someone presents to you the Great Khan, and Temur opened not a gold mine, but a black stone mine, and used it to provoke a war between Middle-earth and your Khanate, what do you think the Great Khan will do with him? Wang Yong looked at Xinjie in surprise and was speechless.
"You still haven't told me?"
"You know it all, what else do you ask?"
"Of course, tell me something I don't know, for example, how many people do you have here in Xianyang, and how are you going to get rid of me and my eldest brother in addition to using Lanxin? Who is the inside line in the court? ”
"Do you think I'm going to tell you?"
"Why not?"
"I told you, the prince will let me die without a place to be buried."
"Not necessarily, I can give you two choices, would you like to hear it?" Xinjie suddenly became very kind, "One is to tell me what I want to know, and then I will beg Uncle Lan to bring you and Lan Xin when he returns to Liaodong." You know Uncle Lan's status in Liaodong, your prince's hand is not that long. Moreover, Lan Xin grew up in Liaodong and can speak Goryeo, so you can ask her to accompany you to Goryeo for two years. ”
"What if I don't like Goryeo?"
"That's easy, I just want to try if your prince's five hundred taels of gold bottle is worth it."
"Really? Although the Tang family has the support of the Queen Mother, they have no right to punish themselves. What's more, Princess Jing'an is still living in the mansion, aren't you afraid of being detected by her and her guards? ”
"That is, the Tang family has always abided by the law and will never lynch."
"So Tang San Gongzi, you have no right to dispose of me."
"The third prince of Tang has no right to dispose of you, but General Yutai of Pingluan Pavilion, who was specially sealed by the emperor's imperial decree, always has the right, right? General Yutai specializes in eradicating spies that hinder national security, especially for your kind of meticulous work, with a gold medal from the emperor, and the right to act cheaply. The princess will not be able to stop me from inflicting fine punishment on foreign enemies. Since I have the three grades of the imperial court, I have to do something to be worthy of the imperial court, right? ”
"You are the emperor's newly crowned Yutai general?" When this matter was said, not only Wang Yong was surprised, but even the brothers of the Tang Sect were surprised, not to mention the Lan family's father and son and Lan Xin.
Xinjie ignored him, and became very insipid again, but just commanded loudly: "Come on, go get some firewood to put on the open space outside the Zhuangzi, and bring a few more mats, and spread them on the ground in the courtyard first." ”
"Scare me?"
"Ninth brother, you follow your third sister-in-law to the dispensing room to get two pairs of fishskin gloves for her dispensing." Xinye almost laughed, the third brother is really enough, people used Lan Xin to sarcastically mock him for a long time, he didn't justify it, and actually used the word third sister-in-law to pull it back at this time, Lian'er was originally very depressed, and when she heard him say this, she felt funny.
"Lian'er, you take Xiao Jiu to get two pairs of fishskin gloves for him, and then you go back to grandma to wait for me first, lest this guy die too ugly for a while and scare you." I'll pick you up later. He turned his head to Lian'er and said this to Lian'er with great gentleness.
"Third sister-in-law, let's go."
"Wait," Wang Yong finally couldn't help it, "are you really going to execute me?"
"It seems that your meticulous work is so poor, you don't even understand my character, I'm not a person who likes to talk to people. Even if I execute you, I need more people to dig up your comrades, but it's just a little bit of a problem, it's not that it can't be done. ”
Wang Yong believes this, and the more people who have been working for a long time, the more they will believe it, because there is no real complete cover.
"Can you guarantee that I will get to Liaodong safely?"
"I can only ask Uncle Lan to promise to take you to Liaodong, as for whether Uncle Lan agrees, you have to ask him about the old man."
"As long as my nephew is satisfied with the information you provide, I can take you to Liaodong and save your life. But if you find out that you have something to hide, and you don't have to do it with my nephew, you know the consequences. Lan Xin's father readily agreed. This was actually something that Xinjie had discussed with him separately before coming in.
Wang Yong finally decided to make peace with him. They all know that several sons of the Tang family will participate in the Shangyuan Lantern Fan Poetry Club in Xianyang every year, especially the eldest young master Xintian, who must come every year, and often bring several other sons and ladies of the Tang Sect. So they specially prepared black stone powder for this purpose, and the plan was to sprinkle the medicinal powder on the people near Tang Gongzi during the lantern riddle poetry meeting, and the people of the Tang Sect would definitely rescue the surrounding people, so that the toxin could be transmitted to them.
Timur's aim was to weaken the power of the Tang Sect, thereby weakening the support of the Empress Dowager so that the other groups in Beijing could act. But what Kyochu's group was going to do, he didn't know. Among the sons of the Tang Dynasty, the eldest prince and the third prince are the leaders, and the prince has specifically instructed him, even if he can't get the third prince, he must get rid of the eldest prince anyway, but he really doesn't know that Xinjie is the newly sealed Yutai general, because the prince also instructed various groups to thoroughly investigate who the newly sealed Yutai general is. Since the attack on the Tang Sect was inevitable, when he met Lan Xin, he specially arranged this operation.
And in the list of his comrades, there are two people who are followed by the Xinye faction. Xinjie and the others listened carefully to what he had to say, and after careful screening, they made sure that it did not look like a fake. So he immediately arranged for men to control all the people he had confessed. Some people were in Xianyang City, so Xintian and Xinyuan took Tang Lan's gold medal and called to open the city gate, and they couldn't delay for a moment. Then all the people were sent to the governor of Xianyang in the name of Tang Lan, and asked the governor to send someone to temporarily detain them, and then transfer them to Beijing.
When the people were sent out, everyone was waiting. Lian'er was just right because of her injury, and after staying up all night for a long time, she couldn't support it a little, and her face was pale. After Xinjie sent all the people out, he hurried over to accompany her and asked people to prepare red date soup and ginseng tea for her. He wanted her to go back to sleep first, but he also knew that in this case, she would not be able to sleep, and it was better to accompany her by himself than to worry about it alone in the small courtyard. So just let her rest on herself for a while. Although she had doubted his feelings for her in the afternoon, at this moment, she had already put those thoughts aside, rested her head on her husband's shoulder, and rested for a while.
Although Lan Xin saw that Xinjie came to discuss things with his father before asking Wang Yong, she didn't know that they wanted Wang Yong to take him away. Just now when Wang Yong said that she was stealing someone, she already wanted to kill him, and she was embarrassed. She almost accidentally injured Xinjie today, and she felt very guilty. Although her right hand may no longer be able to use knives and hidden weapons, she thinks it is her own fault, but Xinjie gave Lian'er the title of a third sister-in-law and the gentleness and thoughtfulness to Lian'er, which was undoubtedly a resounding slap in the face for Lan Xin. The idea of letting Lan Xin accompany Wang Yong to Goryeo seems to be an attempt to use Wang Yong to tie her up so that he can be with the little goblin himself. Seeing that this person who should have been her husband now cares so much about that demon girl, and goes to get her food and drink in front of so many people, if she has a knife in her hand, she will definitely rush over and cut her.
Wang Yong quietly observed them in the corner. He had already begun to think about his life in Liaodong. He knew that Lan Xin would definitely still be thinking of Tang Xinjie, and the strong jealousy in her eyes now had said it all. But he also knows her weaknesses, so as long as Father Lan doesn't object, he is confident that he can take her. Saving his life, and still having a beautiful woman with him, this is a much better end than many fine works. He believed that what Father Lan promised Tang Xinjie, he would definitely do it, the status of this third prince was too special. Although he was caught by Tang Men today, he admired him very much. And his gentleness towards his wife is definitely the envy of many women, and even Wang Yong is a little sorry for Lan Xin.
When Xintian and Xinye brought people back, the sky was already slightly white. The matter has finally come to an end. The next day was Chinese New Year's Eve, and Tang Lan originally wanted to invite Father Lan to stay for the New Year and leave, but Father Lan felt that he really didn't have the face to meet the people of the Tang family, so he decided to sleep and take Lan Xin and Wang Yong on the road in Chinese New Year's Eve. Father Lan had never dealt with Xinjie before, but this time he saw that he was so capable, and so gentle and considerate to his wife, but he couldn't get such a good son-in-law, so he was even more disappointed and angry with Lan Xin, and he didn't want to increase his unhappiness here.
