Chapter 137: Cleaning the Portal 2
"Then it depends on whether the second uncle's chips are enough." Xiao Wenjun set up the wine bowl that he had brought over again, tested the poison, and was fine. Then he said: "This is a three-day drunk in Kyoto, and the second uncle has not drunk it when he returns to Beijing this time, right?" ”
Xiao Daocheng twitched cheeky, and couldn't help but mock: "This is to put me a send-off wine?" ”
Having said that, his hand unceremoniously reached for the wine bowl and dried it out. This unhesitating appearance just shows his belief in Xiao Wenjun. It's really ridiculous, the two people who used to fight to the death have inexplicably established trust at this moment.
Xiao Wenjun's hand raised in mid-air stiffened, and he didn't squirm and dried.
After a bowl of wine, Xiao Daocheng sighed: "I haven't drunk such good wine for many years, I really miss it!" ”
"Do you miss the people and things of the past?" Xiao Wenjun's tone was a little lonely.
Xiao Daocheng glanced at her, and said in his stomach: It is himself who is in prison, and it is also himself who has achieved nothing in middle age, the little girl has only walked in the world for more than ten years, where is such a thick sadness and sadness?
The two of them have their own thoughts, and they also have the same thoughts of calculating each other.
The atmosphere was a little low, and it really smelled like a farewell ceremony.
After Xiao Daocheng poured himself a few bowls, his face was a little red, but his eyes were getting brighter and brighter. He boasted of his outstanding ability, and after a series of blows recently, he was only depressed for a moment, and then regrouped.
Perhaps this is the essence of the family, and no matter how it declines, there are very few talented children and grandchildren. If there is still a glimmer of hope for recovery if you follow the right path, if you follow the crooked path of the demons, I am afraid that you will fall more quickly.
"I did the death of your parents!" Xiao Daocheng closed his eyes, a look of struggle flashed on his face, and he slowly spit out these words.
A fluttering sentence made a conclusion about this matter that had been hanging for many years. also cut off all Xiao Wenjun's fantasies, as well as the last bit of family affection.
Although she didn't have much hope for whether her parents were still alive, when she heard the final result, she was like a sharp cone piercing her heart, rubbing it repeatedly, the pain was as tough as her, and she had to cover her chest and arch her body, and her face suddenly turned pale.
Xiao Daocheng deliberately didn't look at her, as if he was afraid that he would regret it, so he covered up his inner panic and killed his brother and sister-in-law: it was also a mountain that pressed on his heart, every time he dreamed back at midnight, when he was the most vulnerable, another voice in his heart was asking himself, do you regret it?
Without waiting for Xiao Wenjun to speak, he continued: "You guessed it right, this matter was done by me and Yu Wenyu's mother clan. ”
"If I give you all the evidence, your road to revenge your brother and sister-in-law will be smoother, is this bargaining chip enough?"
"Yu Wenyu has already entered, and the mother clan and family behind him have also been suppressed, I'm afraid your bargaining chip is not enough." Xiao Wenjun sneered, "The border boss is missing, such a major plan, Yu Wenyu's mother clan alone will definitely not be able to do it." ”
"If there is no cooperation between the inside and the outside of the army, no matter how long the hands of the people in Kyoto are, they will not want to kill the brave and warlike King Lanling."
She has eased up at the moment, and her current opponent is not only her own uncle, but also an old fritter in the officialdom, but whenever she has a trace of weakness, she will be caught by the other party and bite to death.
"Huh!" Xiao Daocheng's face sank a little.
Knowing that he couldn't hide it from her, he deliberately threw out the heaviest words first just now, just to disturb her mind and strive for more benefits for the next negotiations. Xiao Wenjun only restrained his mood in a few breaths, which really surprised and admired him.
"Coupled with the hidden hidden lines in the army, is it enough?"
"Second uncle, is this buying vegetables? So it will be a bargain! Xiao Wenjun said impatiently, "Now it's a deal that you have asked me to take the initiative to propose, and it's so grinding." If there is no sincerity in business, the lord of the county disdains to do it. ”
"What is the relationship between you and Xiliang, I will also take over the deployment of Lanling: the private soldiers and private weapons you raise. The above add up to make it worth considering the deal with the second uncle of this county lord. ”
"You...... The lion opens his mouth! Xiao Daocheng gritted his teeth, she should have been strangled in Luofeng Mountain in the first place, and there were not many things later, God This is a punishment for his original underestimation of the enemy.
Although he was resentful in his heart, Xiao Wenjun's words were true, for many years in the officialdom, the local administrator of Lanling had to call him Xiao Erye, he had never been so passive as now, but he didn't expect to be led by a female baby today.
"The old man's condition is that apart from me, you must save the lives of everyone in the second room of the Xiao family!"
"Impossible, who does the second uncle think I am, can I reach the sky with my hands and eyes?" Xiao Wenjun sneered, "At most, leave Xiao Wenhua's bloodline, don't think too much about it." ”
"The crime of rebellion, but if you want to punish the nine clans, the second room of the Xiao family is not innocent!" Xiao Wenjun has always been vigorous and resolute.
Cut the Gordian knot.
With this result, Xiao Daocheng was satisfied.
So he told the story of the death of Xiao Wenjun's parents in the original way, and also made the deployment and inventory of his painstaking business in Lanling for many years.
During this period, Xiao Wenjun didn't say a word, just quietly watched Xiao Daocheng and said, while pouring bowls of wine into his mouth.
The deal is negotiated, and half of the wine jar remains.
"Second uncle, with Yu Wenyu's talent, he will never be able to sit in that position. Although he was favored by His Majesty and remained in Kyoto after the wedding, he was also the weight of the emperor to weigh the court. Xiao Wenjun's eyes were pityful.
"You've chosen the wrong person!"
Xiao Daocheng was secretly frightened, the situation in the DPRK and China, he didn't have a woman to see it thoroughly, he asked without giving up: "What about the third prince Yu Wenyao?" ”
Xiao Wenjun glanced at him coldly, and the corners of his mouth pulled out a strange and sarcastic arc, "Yuwenyao is possible, but because of me, he will also be doomed!" ”
This girl has such a big breath!
But inexplicably, she will do what she says!
Xiao Daocheng was seen by this glance, and the whole person felt cold. Hearing such an answer, I suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in my heart, was I wrong?
Years of obsession, like a heavy slap in the face, mockingly reminded him how ridiculous all this is!
One thing failed, and he was still looking for business from the blow; If the dream is wrong, it will be wrong from beginning to end.
Xiao Daocheng's spirit seemed to have fallen in an instant, and now he was like an old man in the twilight, his black hair had visibly turned gray, and deep furrows had grown on his well-maintained face.
Xiao Wenjun sighed, and then said, "When Grandmother left, she told me about you and your father. ”
"Father and grandmother proposed that you take over the position of the head of the Xiao family in the future, he said that he has been fighting at the border for many years, and he can only fight and kill, and he can't take care of his family, you are talented, and you are quite talented in political affairs, and you are more suitable to be the head of the Xiao family than him."
"Since I was a child, my parents asked me to learn more from my second uncle, and they all said that my second uncle is the smartest person in the Xiao family, and he will definitely be able to lead the Xiao family to a higher level."
Hearing this, Xiao Daocheng's expression changed from shock and disbelief to self-deprecation, and finally to sadness and pathos.
Over the years, he has been blinded by resentment, and he only thinks that his eldest brother has stolen all the attention of the Xiao family, and he has empty ambitions, just because he is the second son, he cannot inherit the position of the head of the family, he is not convinced!
He didn't know these secrets, he knew earlier, so why bother? For so many years, in order to chase power, he abandoned his family affection and took the life of his brother and sister-in-law, but in the end it was his turn.
Now that I think about it, the gains outweigh the losses.
"As the head of the Xiao family, I am now removing the second room of the Xiao family from the family tree, and I will not be allowed to enter the ancestral grave of the Xiao family after my death!" Xiao Wenjun said lightly, she must have hatred and resentment for him in her heart.
"If not, it will affect the rest of the Xiao family, second uncle, you should be able to understand this."
It's time to come or it, Xiao Daocheng nodded and said he knew.
The blow that Xiao Wenjun brought him today was too heavy, bending his back and shaking his persistence.
The words have been said, and the wine jar has bottomed out.
Xiao Wenjun drifted away.
Behind him, an old man was left to sit until dawn. On the second day, when the jailers made their rounds, they found a cold corpse.
