"Shhh

Liu Xunyi's earth-shattering remarks made Lord Jia feel frightened, dumbfounded, and speechless for a long time in shock.

"I wonder what the adults think?"

Looking at Liu Xunyi, who was light and breezy, the corners of Lord Jia's mouth twitched slightly, and he whispered in disbelief: "You...... Do you know what you're talking about?"

"I said that I would exchange three lives for the innocence of the four members of the Pan family. Liu Xunyi said lightly, "What? Don't adults think it's worth it?"

"No, no, no!" Lord Jia waved his hand absentmindedly, "If this official heard correctly, the last human life you just said is ......"

"It's me!" Liu Xunyi said bluntly.

"This ......" Master Jia looked stunned, as if he still couldn't believe what he heard, "you...... Are you begging for death?"

"Yes! I have no love in my life, and I want to avenge the prime minister, the Hou Ye, Qiu Han and the adults who died in vain in Dongfu, and then ...... But beg for a death. ”

Liu Xunyi's words are sonorous and loud, neither momentary confusion nor impulsiveness, as if it is the result of his careful consideration.

"Why?" said Master Jia puzzled, "As the saying goes, 'It's better to die than to live', why are you so young that you are bent on dying?"

"This is a private matter, why should adults ask more......

"No!" Master Jia retorted, "Only when this official knows your mind can he seriously consider your proposal. After all, it is a matter of life and death, and it must not be hastily played. ”

"Okay!" Seeing that Lord Jia was resolute and his words were firm, Liu Xunyi couldn't help but laugh at himself, so he slowly spoke, "My parents died when I was young, and my sister who depended on each other was abducted...... Dare to ask my lord, is there a person in the world who has a more ill-fated fate than me? I boast of being loyal to my duties, working hard and bearing no grievances, and treating people sincerely with the heart of 'I would rather teach the people of the world to bear me, and I will not live up to the people of the world'?

"This ......"

"It is said that good and evil are rewarded, and cause and effect circulate, but the reality is fundamentally black and white, and it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood. I did my best for the imperial court, and I was born and died, and I did not hesitate to go against my conscience and dive into the rivers and lakes to become a 'traitor' with ill intentions and two swords, thinking that I was taking into account the overall situation and saving the common people, but in the end, how did the court repay me? There is no merit, no hard work, no praise, and no affirmation...... On the contrary, those villains with ulterior motives used intrigues and tricks to easily erase my achievements for more than 20 years. From having nothing to Tianji Pavilion Shaobao, I worked hard for 20 years, but from Tianji Pavilion Shaobao to nothing, I even became a prisoner...... But it's just a wine banquet in Jingyun Pavilion, isn't it ridiculous?"

Hearing Liu Xunyi's many complaints to the imperial court, Lord Jia's face changed color, and he was extremely embarrassed.

"Over the years, I have betrayed too many friends who have treated me with all sincerity, and I have failed too many benefactors who have placed high hopes on me. Those who have been good to me have all suffered because of me, but those who have tried to harm me have lived more freely than the other. If I live, I will only poison my benefactor, and my enemy will ascend to heaven...... In that case, why am I living? Isn't it all happy to have a whimper, and everything is over?"

I don't know if Lord Jia poked at Liu Xunyi's weakness, or if Liu Xunyi's suppressed and forbearant emotions couldn't be held back anymore, and he suddenly became crazy and excited.

At this moment, he was not answering Master Jia's question, but he was making up his mind to die, pouring out his dissatisfaction with his fate to the heavens, and even more so to the underworld...... The "useless" who controls his own destiny complains about more than 20 years of bitterness and grief.

"From the moment I stepped into the Prime Minister's Mansion, I had no intention of leaving Lin'an alive. Liu Xunyi took a deep breath and gradually calmed down his mind, "I have long put life and death aside, and I just want to save the four members of the Pan family before I die." I owe a lot of debts in my life, and I can't pay them back in ten lifetimes. Now that death is on the verge of death, I really don't want to involve four innocent people again. The Yamen's style is like a mirror, for you to save them from fire and water is just a trivial matter in a few words, but for those ordinary people who have no power and power...... But it's harder than climbing to the sky. ”

"I understand!" Lord Jia seemed to be quite touched by Liu Xunyi's heartfelt words, and nodded slowly while showing a hint of thought in his eyes, "It's just ...... Assassinating an official of the imperial court is a serious crime, not to mention that the other party is a military minister who is important to the emperor, in case you miss, you will even be captured alive...... Isn't the official asking for trouble? Moreover, the assassination of the Privy Counsellor is by no means an easy task. If a few assassins can be eliminated by sending a few assassins at random, why should the eastern and western governments bother with it for so many years?"

In the face of Lord Jia's hesitation, Liu Xunyi seemed to have expected it, and said frankly: "There is nothing wrong with sending an assassin to solve the opponent itself, but the real problem is that if the matter is revealed or the assassin fails, the consequences will be far more troublesome and tricky than the assassin." ”

"That's right!" Master Jia couldn't deny, "Pursuing advantages and avoiding disadvantages is the magic weapon of this official to establish himself in the imperial court, if the risk of failure in one thing is far greater than the reward brought by success, this official will definitely not take risks easily." ”

"What does it mean to get rid of the Privy Councillor?" Liu Xunyi asked meaningfully, "As for the risk...... I have a secret meeting with my lords here, and God knows that you know and I know, and no third person knows otherwise. In this way, even if I am captured alive...... Even if I planted a false accusation and dragged the adult into the water, as long as the adult refused to admit it, I would not be able to produce any evidence. As you have just said, the two prefectures of the East and the West are the important weapons of the country, and if there is no real evidence, if you impeach the important ministers of the imperial court, you will only bring about your own destruction. ”

"This ......" Master Jia groaned, as if his heart was shaken.

"What's more, not every Assassin has the means to thunder, and not every Assassin has the determination to see death as if he were home. Liu Xunyi smiled confidently, "I have served in Tianji Pavilion for many years, and my lord's methods for me ...... You should have heard of it. ”

"Why should the official believe you?"

"It's easy for me to take off my lord's head right now, but I didn't do it. ”

"This ......," Master Jia hesitated, intermittently, "As far as I know, the Privy Council has just replaced a batch of guards not long ago, because the previous guards are full of loopholes, and they can't protect the Privy Council as impregnable, and it is too easy for people to fish in troubled waters." Today's guards are different, they are carefully selected from the front-line battalions, not only numerous, but also well-trained, skilled in bows and crossbows, and skillful in the coordination of bows and swords, and there are some battle-hardened and ruthless characters. Although your martial arts are high, but your strength is weak, if you rashly carry out the assassination, I am afraid that you will be hacked to death by them before you can get close to the privy deputy......

"That's why I need an adult to help me. ”

"What?" Lord Jia was shocked and flatly refused, "This kind of thing will definitely not be interfered with, let alone come forward." ”

"Adults don't need to meddle and they don't need to come forward. A hint of cunning flashed in Liu Xunyi's eyes, "Although the guards of the Privy Council are numerous and powerful, and the masters are like clouds, it is impossible for Lord Qian to take them with him every day. I don't need to sneak into the Privy Council to assassinate me, I just need to lure Master Qian out, and there will be a dozen or so guards around him at most......"

"Do you want this official to help you lure Master Qian out?"

"There are many ways to lure snakes out of their holes, and I believe that adults will be able to come up with a foolproof solution. It can lead them to the bait without being suspected......"

"Wait!" Lord Jia frowned, thoughtful, "After you reminded me, this official really has a chance to lure the snake out of the hole, and it will not arouse anyone's suspicion." ”

"What the adults are talking about is ......"

"In the past few days, because of the robbery of the grain depot of the three provinces of Xingyuan, and to calm down the people's grievances, and to raise grain everywhere, and to help the victims, the court is busy up and down, and the emperor will summon several of our military ministers to the imperial study late every night to discuss countermeasures......" Lord Jia carefully calculated in his heart, and explained to Liu Xunyi without hurry, "When he will be summoned to the palace depends on the emperor's will, and this official can't predict." But when to leave the palace...... But the official can secretly interfere without knowing or knowing. ”

"What do you mean by ......"

"The emperor summoned us to discuss matters for as little as half an hour, as much as an hour, and in the end he would ask us about our countermeasures one by one. This section can be passed by in a few words, or it can be talked slowly and eloquently. Master Jia's face was treacherous, "Therefore, this official can secretly control the time and calculate exactly when the privy deputy will leave the palace, and then you only need to ambush halfway, and take everyone exhausted and take it lightly......"

"That's great, just enough time for me to go back to Tianji Pavilion......"

Although Liu Xunyi's words were not clear, the purpose of his return to Tianji Pavilion was tacitly understood.

"Actually, Qin Wei is just an insignificant little person. As long as Master Qian dies, he will be a grasshopper after the autumn without his backer, and he will not be able to jump for a few days. Lord Jia was kind and pretended to be generous, "As for your life...... The official really can't bear to take it. The matter of Jingyun Pavilion has always been strongly advocated by Xifu, and this official has not participated in it at all, so whether or not you are arrested has little impact on this official, but has a great deal to do with Xifu. Therefore, this official does not need to exchange three lives for the four members of the Pan family, as long as he solves the privy deputy envoy. ”

"I understand what my lord means, but there are some debts that I have to repay, and some debts that ...... I have to ask for it too!"

"This official ...... I believe in you and am willing to gamble with you once. Master Jia made up his mind and said word by word, "This official can even promise you that as long as you do your best, no matter what success or failure, this official will try his best to help the four members of the Pan family regain their freedom." ”

Master Jia is well versed in the way of controlling people, and he uses the skills of 'villain first and then gentleman' and 'envy and use' to buy people's hearts.

For him, the life or death of the four members of the Pan family is not important at all, and his promise to Liu Xunyi is just a means to win people's hearts. Because he saw Liu Xunyi's affectionate and righteous temperament, he used "rhetoric" to deceive his loyalty.

At the same time, in case the matter is revealed, Liu Xunyi will remember Lord Jia's "kindness" and bear all the blame alone, and will never cause trouble for Lord Jia.

In the final analysis, this is a retreat that Master Jia has paved for himself in advance.

However, Liu Xunyi, who has already seen through the hot and cold state of the world and has a sinister heart, is no longer as simple as it was back then.

In the face of Lord Jia's promise, Liu Xunyi smiled indifferently and said in a deep voice: "My lord is noble, I admire it!" It's just ...... After this incident, he died in Huangquan in eight or nine out of ten, and he was afraid that he would not be able to say goodbye to his old friends of the Pan family in person. Therefore, why don't you help me rescue them first, so that I can also do errands for my adults without worrying. ”

"This ......" Lord Jia was quite dissatisfied with Liu Xunyi's bargaining, and said perfunctorily, "They are the people ordered by the Xifu to arrest, and the official is now ...... It's inconvenient to meddle. ”

"They were kept in the cells of the Lin'an Governorate, which had always been under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Governorate, and was not under the control of the Privy Council. It is logical for adults to come forward, why is it inconvenient?" Liu Xunyi ruthlessly exposed Lord Jia's excuses, and seeing that he was in a dilemma, he said, "I can take a step back, my lord will only return their innocence, and will not return their freedom for the time being." ”

"What do you mean?"

"The adults helped them out of their cells, arranged a place for temporary house arrest, and then let them go when the matter was done. Liu Xunyi said solemnly, "But I must meet with them to prove that the adults are trustworthy." ”

"This ......"

"Right now, Lin'an is like a cage, and I'm like a trapped beast, are you still afraid that I won't be able to escape?"

"That'...... Okay!" Lord Jia hesitated for a long time, but after all, he couldn't resist the conditions offered by Liu Xunyi that were too tempting, so he reluctantly nodded and agreed, "Without further ado, this official will immediately send his cronies to the Yati people of Lin'an Mansion, and then arrange for you to meet in secret." In order to avoid long nights and dreams, you should prepare in advance, this official wants to ...... Get started as soon as possible. ”

"How fast is it as soon as possible?"

"Tonight!"
