Chapter 158 [Scheming] (I)
Lan Ximei said disdainfully: "My mother is the princess who is married to Ming Media, and she ......" Although she did not finish speaking, she could also see her disdain for Ye Qinghong's identity. In fact, it is no wonder that Ye Qinghong's mother Mager is the French lover of Prince Rui Yixun, and her identity is rarely known, which makes Lan Ximei even more disdainful that Mager was born in the dust, such a person will definitely not be recognized by the royal family, and Ye Qinghong, an illegitimate daughter, is even less worthy of having a Gege identity.
But time has passed, dynasties have changed, not to mention Gege now, even Emperor Xuantong is just a title, in the Republic of China that advocates democracy and freedom, such a title will only be laughable and generous, except for the memory of wealth and glory in the past, it can no longer bring them any glory of the royal family.
Luo Lie remembered the origin of his acquaintance with Ye Qinghong, and had gradually sorted out the ins and outs of the whole thing. Although he accepted Ye Qinghong's conditions, in his opinion, Ye Qinghong's revenge had no clear purpose, and what role Mu Sanshou played was something he couldn't figure out.
Judging from the previous interrogation of Liu Decheng, Mu Sanshou and Liu Decheng should be half-brothers, and Mu Sanshou and Prince Rui Yixun have a good relationship, he is the most trusted person of Yixun, but why did Ye Qinghong's hatred finally point to Prince Hong Zaixiang?
From beginning to end, Prince Hong Zaixiang never appeared, his terrible and insidious all came from the word of mouth of others, as Lan Ximei revealed her original identity, Luo Lie cleared the clouds and saw a lot of the truth. He understood why Lan Ximei wanted to kill Xiao Tianxing, and he also understood that Lan Ximei and Ye Qinghong were also taking revenge, but Lan Ximei had more initiative.
Luo Lie asked a crucial question: "Is your father still alive?"
Lan Ximei said coldly: "Dead! Even if he is alive, I will kill him with my own hands!"
Her reaction was obviously beyond Luo Lie's expectations, it should be said that this was not a reaction of being a child at all, and it was not even a reaction that a normal person could make, combined with Lan Ximei's previous crazy behavior, Luo Lie quickly accepted the reality.
Lan Ximei seemed to consider that he could not understand his own words, and explained: "Although I really want him to die, it must be me who does it myself, and whoever kills him is my enemy." ”
Luo Lie quietly looked at Lan Ximei, whose eyes were slightly red, and suddenly realized that Lan Ximei's growth history must be extremely miserable, and how harsh and difficult the environment created a complex and contradictory individual like her.
Lan Ximei said: "Even if there is no Republic of China, the Qing Dynasty will collapse sooner or later, and the entire imperial court from top to bottom, there are only a handful of people who are dedicated to the country, everyone knows that the building will collapse, and most of them are thinking about their own selfish interests." Prince Rui Yixun is not exempt from vulgarity, taking advantage of Lafayette's trust in him, using public weapons for private purposes, and perverting the law for bribes. His cronies Liu Tonghei, Xiao Tianxiong, Ren Zhongchang, and Liu Decheng, which one of them doesn't have their own ghosts, and this group of people doesn't have a good thing!"
Although Luo Lie didn't have the opportunity to meet Yixun, Lan Ximei's evaluation of Yixun's four cronies was very pertinent.
Lan Ximei said: "These four people are either fierce, or cunning, or greedy, or shameless, they see that Yixun has looted so much wealth, naturally their eyes are hot, and they can't take it for themselves, but their status can't do such a big thing after all, even if they can get rid of Yixun smoothly, they can't occupy Yixun's family property." At this time, Mu Sanshou found them, Mu Sanshou is a scheming person, so naturally he will not appear in public, among which Liu Decheng played the biggest role. ”
Luo Lie suddenly understood why Liu Decheng took the initiative to beg for death that night, because after Liu Decheng understood that his relationship with Mu Sanshou had been revealed, Lan Ximei would never let him live. What Lan Ximei said is reasonable, it seems that Mu Sanshou is the plotter hidden behind it. As for Prince Hong Zaixiang, this mysterious figure who has never appeared has been confirmed to be dead in Lan Ximei's mouth. Luo Lie was even able to conclude that his death must be related to Mu Sanshou and the others, and only in this way could Lan Ximei's unscrupulous revenge on these people be explained.
Lan Ximei said: "If you want to annex Prince Rui's property openly, and avoid the eyes and ears of others, you must find a person who has a considerable status and status in the court, this person must be deeply trusted by Lafayette, and after careful consideration, they found my father." ”
Luo Lie also had to admire the plan of Mu Sanshou's group of people at this time, every link was calculated so accurately, judging the situation, using strength, even the two princes of the Qing court were played with by them, of course, this is also related to the turbulence of the current situation, if it were not for the Qing court mansion to collapse, the entire dynasty was in chaos and disorder, and their plan would not be so easy to succeed. To accomplish such a plan, it is necessary to have the right time, place and people, and all of them are indispensable.
Lan Ximei shook her head, her eyes filled with tears: "These people have their own ghosts, they use my father to get rid of Prince Rui, and they want to use the revolutionary party to get rid of my father, so that they can finally take Prince Rui's wealth for themselves unconsciously." Among them, Mu Sanshou benefited the most, because Prince Rui trusted him until his death and would not betray him, and let his French lover find him. ”
Luo Lie secretly thought in his heart, Liu Tonghei, Ren Zhongchang, Xiao Tianxiong, Liu Decheng should know the inside story the most among them, Liu Decheng should be the one who knows the inside story, judging from Ye Qinghong's revenge before, Mu Sanshou has never been exposed. And Mu Sanshou's wealth is obviously far greater than the sum of the above people, in other words, after Mager found Mu Sanshou, Mu Sanshou has already controlled secrets that others don't know. But more than one person said that Prince Hong was still alive, Luo Lie looked at Lan Ximei who was full of tears, and suddenly figured out the key point.
Luo Lie said in a low voice: "So you deliberately created the illusion that Prince Hong is still alive in the world? Let their internal camp panic, and then reveal the secret of Mu Sanshou's betrayal of others through some means, causing them to kill each other?"
Lan Ximei raised her head, let the tears that were almost coming out of her eyes take back, and said softly: "If it weren't for Mager finding Mu Sanshou, Mu Sanshou wouldn't know that Prince Rui was still hiding a lot of wealth overseas, to say that this Prince Rui is really in love with his French lover, but he died too suddenly, and he didn't have time to explain it clearly." ”
Luo Lie said: "Prince Rui is not a fool, how did Mu Sanshou swallow his overseas property?"
Lan Ximei said: "Mu Sanshou is not so easy to do, so he has to pretend to be a hypocrite in order to win Marger's trust, Ye Qinghong will not tell you that Mu Sanshou was married once, that is, with Marger, and he also lied to that stupid woman, saying that it was to avoid Ye Qinghong's identity being exposed." Mager died of illness shortly after her marriage, but fortunately she kept a hand on Mu Sanshou, and half of that huge wealth was left to her and Yixun's daughter. ”
Luo Lie said: "Why didn't he attack Ye Qinghong?"
Lan Ximei sighed and said: "Maybe it's because the tiger poison doesn't eat children, after all, he has raised Ye Qinghong for a few years, and it is impossible for them to have no feelings for each other, maybe Mager has enough back hands to make Mu Sanshou throw a mouse." ”
Luo Lie nodded and said, "After you know these things, you will start to take revenge." ”
Lan Ximei said: "I was born for hatred, and I don't feel any joy in life except revenge." Speaking of this, her tears finally burst out of her eyes, and her head tilted over, leaning against Luo Lie's shoulder, Luo Lie did not dodge this time.
Lan Ximei didn't make an inch of action this time, just sobbed silently, tears soon wet Luo Lie's shoulders, Luo Lie felt sympathy for her for the first time, he touched the handkerchief in his coat pocket, touched the edge of the handkerchief but hesitated, remembered Lan Ximei's other name, her background can not be the reason for her betrayal of the nation, maybe deep down in her heart she just regarded her as a dead country, but never regarded her as a member of this country.
"So, you will join the Japanese intelligence department, help them steal all kinds of information, and fight for their forces to invade China?" Although Luo Lie's voice was not loud, and there was no tone of questioning, his words were sonorous and powerful.
Lan Ximei bit her lip and said, "My mother is the princess who is married to Ming Media, how can she be Japanese?" I am Chinese!" She looked at Luo Hunt with red eyes and said, "The mastermind behind killing my father is the Japanese." My mother also died at their hands, how can I be willing to serve them?"
Luo Lie looked into her eyes quietly, trying to see the fraud and disguise in it, but Luo Lie quickly gave up again.
Lan Ximei has never shed so many tears in her life, maybe she has been pretending in front of people for too long, and even she herself doesn't know whether she is Lan Ximei or Songxue Ryoko, when she poured out the secret that she had hidden in her heart for many years to Luo Lie, she felt so lonely and helpless for the first time, and felt that she was so wronged.
Luo Lie looked at Lan Ximei, who was teary-eyed, and for the first time felt that there was also a sincere part in her humanity, although this sincere confession was to use herself as a preparation, but at least it was much better than starting from deception, he took out a handkerchief and handed it to Lan Ximei.
Lan Ximei didn't pick it up, but threw herself into his arms.
Luo Lie was about to push her away from his arms in a more gentle way, but he heard the sound of a car in the distance, and following the sound, a black sedan disappeared.
Lan Ximei chuckled: "It's a sparrow, I'm afraid I won't come to you again if I leave this time." ”
Luo Lie looked at Lan Ximei with a smile, Lan Ximei snatched the handkerchief from his hand and quickly wiped the tears on her face, then opened the small bag she was carrying, took out the makeup mirror to check her appearance, although the tears had been wiped dry, but her eyes were already crying red.
