Chapter 180 The Privilege of Killing First and Playing Later

Chapter 180 The Privilege of Killing First and Playing Later

No one knew what Xie Huan meant, only she understood what happened.

"Sister?" Xie Yun walked quickly, with a dignified expression, "Has the Seventh Prince been here?"

Xie Huan nodded, and walked side by side with Xie Yun in the long corridor, his tone was unremarkable, as if the matter of the Seventh Prince didn't affect her much, "He came and left again. You came back late Some, didn't touch."

"This matter is absolutely impossible. I have told the emperor and the empress dowager, and I will never let my sister marry Daxia far away. Not to mention that it is a long way to go to Daxia, and I am afraid that there will be no return date in this life. Just relying on the relationship between our Xie family and Daxia Enmity, if you think about it, there must be some conspiracy. We must not fall into Daxia's trap." Xie Yun gritted his teeth, "By the way, what did Prince Rui say?"

Hearing this, Xie Huan stopped in his tracks, and then let out a long breath, "What do you think he will say?"

Xie Yun turned to look at Qingyun and Qingyu, both of them bowed their heads in silence.

"Could it be that Prince Rui also agrees to let my sister marry Da Xia far away?" Xie Yun frowned, "He clearly knew—"

"Enough." Xie Huan stopped, "You just need to remember that this Jiangshan's surname is Zhao. Even if the lord is kind enough to thank the family, don't forget that the surname is also Zhao. It's not like you don't know what happened back then. .”

Xie Yun took a deep breath, "But how could he see death without saving him? He has no mercy, even if he raises a dog, he should have some affection for so many years, right?"

Xie Huan raised his brows horizontally, "Presumptuous!" He reprimanded coldly, "What are you talking about? Who told you to say such rebellious words? Mercy? How many people do you think will have mercy in this court? With a compassionate heart, go to temples and ancient temples, not here."

After speaking, Xie Huan walked forward quickly.

Xie Yun pursed her lips and hurriedly chased after her, "But sister, it's possible that you really want to marry Daxia far away."

"I lost." Xie Huan stared, "The Seventh Prince's martial arts are superior to mine, just now, he has already defeated me." She turned to look at him, "Do you know what this means?"

"Rules are dead, but people are alive." Xie Yun disagreed.

Xie Huan sneered, "That's right, but don't forget, the person who made the rules is dead, so it's a dead rule. Whether you follow it or not, the person who made the rules will never come back to change the rules. You are either rebellious or behave yourself." She rolled her eyes coldly, "You never said these words before, did Shuying teach you?"

Xie Yun was taken aback, "Who does my sister think I am? Shuying is gentle and kind, how could she teach me this. From now on, sister, don't doubt Shuying anymore, she is not such a person."

"Gentle and kind?" Xie Huan stopped and stared at him seriously, "This is the last time I warn you, don't use these four words on her in the future. You will have your own Mrs. Hou, And I will set a rule for you just like my father. No matter what happens, it doesn’t matter whether I marry Daxia or not. Madam is Madam, she is the mistress of this Zhenyuanhou Mansion. clear?"

Xie Yun clenched his fists in his sleeves, but still nodded as he said.

"When father and mother were alive, father only married one mother. Now that you have one wife and one concubine, you should cherish your blessings. Even if the king knows the principle of equal exposure to rain and dew, I hope you also understand. Although it is not as good as the Sangong and Six Courtyards, you must have respect and inferiority." Preface, don't treat one more favorably than another." Xie Huan put his hands behind his back, with a serious expression on his face.

"Order and order?" Xie Yun sneered twice, "Don't you think it's funny when my sister says this? Shuying doesn't even have a title now, what kind of concubine? What's more, she——"

Before he could finish his words, he was forced back by Xie Huan's eyes before he protruded his lips.

"It's useless." Xie Huan walked away.

Xie Yun knew she shouldn't mention it, but she still couldn't hold back.In an instant, his face was blue and white.

Qingyun stepped forward, "Young Lord, don't take it to heart. The princess just has too many things to do recently, and the heart is hard to suppress for a while. For the young master, the princess has hope, and I hope the prince can live up to the princess. Hope. The princess's hope is the hope of the Zhenyuan Houfu. In the future, the Xie family army will have to be carried by the young marquis, so the princess dare not be sloppy."

Xie Yun nodded, "I also know that compared to my sister, I am far behind. It's just—" He took a deep breath, then turned around and left.

"Let's go!" Qingyu stepped forward, "Young Master will understand."

Qingyun nodded, and the two chased after Xie Huan.

There are many things that outsiders cannot understand, and only the person involved will understand that feeling.But there are many things that are clear to the bystanders and confused by the authorities.I can't describe the taste of it, I can only take one step at a time.

It's like the brothers and sisters of the Xie family, and it's like Liang Yiru from Shaofu's mansion.

One stood quietly in the yard, the snow that fell earlier had already melted, only the small pot of snow on the table was still holding on.

Xiangyi stepped forward, "Young master is not very happy recently, is it because Miss Xia hasn't come for a long time?"

Liang Yiru narrowed his eyes, "What nonsense, she naturally has her own freedom, I'm just worried that the errands assigned by the emperor will not be completed as scheduled. What's more - with Prince Rui protecting her, I don't have to worry about it .”

"That's what I said, I'm afraid you don't think so in your heart." Xiangyi sighed softly, "Miss Xia knew about Huamanlou, but she didn't cry or make trouble, and she didn't come to look for you again. It's no wonder you don't worry Well! Usually when she has something to do, she always likes to run to the magistrate's office and sneak in. The young master always tells us quietly to leave a door for her, and pretend that we don't see it. This kind of friendship is not something ordinary people can have. "

"This is the capital, not Daizhou." Liang Yiru looked at the distant sky, his eyes were dim and hard to distinguish.

Xiangyi curled her lips, "If you are really worried, young master, why don't you go and have a look!"

"In the past two days, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs should report to the emperor about the matter of Daizhou." He calculated the time, and in the past two days, Daizhou's capital took so many lives, and it was also a vicious case. He wanted to come to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. It will not be disposed of on its own.Therefore, this case will definitely be submitted to the king, and the emperor will definitely send special personnel to investigate.

It's just that Liang Yiru doesn't understand that Huamanlou is just a brothel, why would someone have such evil thoughts and not leave anyone alive?Among them, if there is no great reason, he would not believe it if he was killed.

But who will Huamanlou have a grudge against?
Father's letter made it clear that it didn't seem like a quack style, but rather like the work of a well-trained organization.The action is clean and neat, and the killing is a one-shot death.Although the bones had become charred, the wounds on the corpse were still very clear.

The head catcher said that this kind of killing method is extremely sophisticated, and they are all exactly the same.

This means that in Daizhou, there is a certain kind of frightening power.If the case is not solved, people in Daizhou will be panicked and the people will not be at peace.

Daizhou is an important border area, and it lives next to Utopia. It would definitely not be a good thing to panic.

Whether it is to the court or to the people, it will be a great threat.

As the saying goes, do what you want and do what you are afraid of.

The people in the palace came to spread word, saying that the emperor had urgently summoned Master Shaofu to enter the palace quickly and enter the imperial study for a discussion.

Liang Yiru thought about it in his mind, probably this matter has already been heard by Datian.Changing to casual clothes, put on formal clothes, calmed down, and hurriedly entered the palace to wait for the imperial edict.

When they arrived at the imperial study room, the emperor Zhao Lu was sitting at the table and fiddling with the wooden crafts in his hands, and he didn't know what to think about.

"I see the emperor." Liang Yiru bowed and saluted.

Then Zhao Lu raised his head, smiled and waved, "Second brother, come here. How many times have I said that you don't need the emperor when there is no one, and you are still my second brother. I like to hear you and the third brother." Brother, call me big brother."

Liang Yiru nodded, "I don't know what's the big brother's urgent call, what's the matter?"

Hearing this, Zhao Lu put down the woodwork in his hands, and handed him a booklet, "Look for yourself, Liang Anbang is your father, right? Daizhou magistrate, there is a rush report, passed to the Ministry of Punishment for filing, and then It was sent to me. The case is not small, and I am afraid that the manpower of Daizhou government will not be able to crack it. You watch first, and tell me later what you think."

"Yes." Liang Yiru opened the notebook, which was indeed his father Liang Anbang's notes.It was written about the case of Huamanlou in Daizhou Prefecture. More than 100 people in the whole case were killed and burned.

Zhao Lu fiddled with the wooden crafts in his hands, like bows and crossbows, he seemed to have studied these things quite a bit, and liked them even more.After taking a sip of tea, he glanced at Liang Yiru, "Daizhou is an important border town, and there is no room for negligence. It is next to Utopia. If Daizhou is unstable, Utopia will easily take advantage of it. Look at this matter, what should we do? ? I don't want to pursue it because it's your father."

Liang Yiru wrote the memorial, "The emperor can send a special person to Daizhou to thoroughly investigate this matter."

"I know this. This is a custom. Even if you don't say it, I will do it. What I let you say is what is in your heart." Zhao Lu put down the woodwork in his hand, got up slowly, and walked towards Liang Yiru "You should understand that so many people died for no reason and their bodies were burned. It must not be as simple as seeking revenge. Your father said very clearly that the killing methods are exactly the same, and the actions are crisp and neat. The second brother is so smart. People, it must not be difficult to understand the key."

"The emperor said that there is a force that stays in Daizhou and wants to plot something wrong." Liang Yiru frowned.

Zhao Lu smiled, "You said this, not me. I just think it's not simple, but I didn't think too much about it."

Liang Yiru's eyes drooped slightly, "Huamanlou was originally a brothel. It is impossible to have such a big grievance with others. How could it be possible that no one will be left alive. Generally, killing people has three reasons: revenge, silence, and accidents. Excluding accidents and seeking revenge, the only thing left is silence. But what secrets can a brothel know to cause such a disaster?"

"I don't know." Zhao Lu frowned, "You are from Daizhou, so you should be familiar with that area. Huamanlou, how much do you know?"

learn?

If you know more about it, can you compare to Xia Yu?

She was a native Huamanlou girl who came out of it, and those who died were all relatives she regarded as her closest relatives.

Of course, Liang Yiru would never tell Zhao Lu these words.Many things can be avoided if possible, it doesn't matter to drag Xia Yu into it.She finally came out of the sadness, there was no need to go in again.

Pain and pain, once is enough.

Liang Yiru said, "I was born in Daizhou. After all, Huamanlou is a brothel. I don't know much about it. I can only say that I know a thing or two." He thought for a while, "The boss of Huamanlou, do The business is really good, and I don’t think I will offend anyone. As long as I have money, I will not refuse anyone who spends a lot of money.”

Zhao Lu nodded, "The brothel is a brothel, of course it is a place where money can turn ghosts." He looked at Liang Yiru, and suddenly picked up the memorial, "If I entrust this matter to you, can you accept it?" The investigation is clear? It is more than 100 lives, and I dare not be vague. Since you are a native of Daizhou, it is best to leave this matter to you. What do you think?"

"This--it doesn't seem appropriate, because the court has established the legal system. This kind of case should be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment to send special personnel to deal with this kind of case. If I take it over rashly, I'm afraid it will attract criticism. What's more, my father is The magistrate of Daizhou, if this happens, people will think that it is a small minister who is playing for selfishness. I am afraid that it is not a good thing for a small minister to be with the emperor." After all, Liang Yiru thought far-reaching.

"But I don't believe anyone but you." Zhao Lu stuffed the memorial book into his hands, "Second brother, don't worry, I have the final say on this matter, presumably those who tried their best to stop it may have something to do with this case Otherwise, in an ordinary case of murder and cremation, even if I did something against the rules, there would not be too many people criticizing it. Unless—" He smiled thoughtfully, "Unless those black hands, just Above the court."

Daizhou is no different than other places. It is adjacent to Utopia and has a great relationship, so no one will go to Daizhou to cause trouble for no reason.Although the prefect of Daizhou is only a prefect, there are troops stationed nearby. If there is a turmoil in Daizhou, the prefect can quickly ask for military support!Who dares to act recklessly on the border of Daizhou?Didn't he seek death for committing such a murder and arson?

Those who can be so blatant, I'm afraid they are not ordinary people.

If it is said that there is no one protecting the court, Zhao Lu would not believe it even if he is not familiar with the court affairs.

Liang Yiru stared at the young emperor in front of him, he seemed extremely stubborn, he only knew how to play with wooden skills, but his heart was exquisite and clear, and he could see it more clearly than anyone else.No wonder Prince Rui said——Liang Yiru took a deep breath, "Your Majesty has entrusted you with great trust, and this humble servant will obey the order."

"I don't need to set a time for you, you can figure it out!" Zhao Lu began to fiddle with his wooden skills again, "But I always feel that this matter is not that simple, you—" He raised his head, "If you have Mentally prepare. Don't say that big brother cheated you. In many cases, it doesn't count if I say anything about the court. If I can help you, I will try my best to help you. If you can't help, you can only solve it yourself. If this matter is too involved, You are going to be ready to die."

"My minister knows." Liang Yiru was mentally prepared, but he didn't like it when he said it from Zhao Lu's mouth.The emperor is the emperor after all, you call him big brother, but in your heart, you must respect him as the emperor.Otherwise, sooner or later, you won't even know how you died.

This world is still his, if he turns his face at any time, you really don't even have time to cry.

"The jade card I gave you allows you to enter and leave the palace at any time, and you can also do things for me." Zhao Lu sighed softly, "Except for you, there is no one around me that I can use."

"The emperor sits on the world, the whole world is the king's land, and the land is the king's minister. All talented people belong to the emperor." Liang Yiru saluted respectfully, "As long as the emperor works diligently and loves the people, the world will definitely return his heart."

Zhao Lu smiled, and personally supported Liang Yiru, "I know that I have wronged you by making you a young Fu in name only. But you also know that there are Emperor Shu and Su Guogong in the court. My emperor, In fact, it can only be regarded as half an emperor. But with you here, I am like a tiger with wings added, and I can rest assured that I will entrust these matters to you."

"My minister is terrified!" Liang Yiru bowed his head, "I will live up to the emperor's high expectations, and I will definitely do my best to serve the emperor."

"I have a decree for you. If this matter really involves the ministers of the court, or even the princes and nobles, you can cut it first and then play it." Zhao Lu turned and walked towards the book case. The moment he wrote the pen, he looked up hesitantly, and looked at it hesitantly. Glancing at Liang Yiru, "I——ask you again, do you dare? If you don't dare, I can still take my life back. In this imperial study, there are only two of us, brothers, who are easy to talk to."

Liang Yiru leaned over and knelt down, "I will not disgrace my life."

Zhao Lu sighed softly, and finally put pen to paper.

With a wave of the imperial pen, that is the order of the king, and there is no way to take it back.You have no jokes, no regrets when you put pen to paper.

When he walked out of the imperial study room, Liang Yiru took a look at the wonderful sky, with no wind or snow, and the sun was warm.But the darkness in my heart can no longer be stretched.Hidden in his sleeve is his life and death status. Liang Yiru is not a fool and knows what it means.

Even Zhao Lu knew that the changes in Daizhou would inevitably lead to disasters, and might even involve court officials.If he took the imperial decree and really cut it first and played it later, he would have had his head cut off before midnight and met the King of Hades.

Threatening the interests of others is an extremely dangerous thing.

What's more, he is just a nameless Mr. Shao Fu, who looks like a good man, but is actually just an empty shell.

But the emperor's order has been issued, how can he resist the order and not obey it.The emperor's question does not mean that he really wants to take back his life, but wants to test him whether he has the heart to serve the country and be loyal to the king.

Sure enough, he did not disappoint the emperor's mind.

Ah Yu, just wait, I will fight with my life to find out the truth for you.No matter who breaks your heart, I will never let it go.I'll investigate the Huamanlou case for you.Check it out, and the truth will come out.

Walking in the lonely palace road, Liang Yiru looked lonely and expressionless.

As soon as he raised his head, Dongfang Qing stood in front of him, looking at him with a smile, a faint pear blossom bloomed in his eyes and brows.Liang Yiru also noticed that Dongfang Qing was completely different from Dongfang Yue and his son. She exuded a kind of indifference, calm and uncontested. Although she looked extremely strong and assertive, she was actually an extremely gentle woman.

He doesn't dislike Dongfang Qing, but he can't say he likes it.

If it is regarded as a casual acquaintance, it is still possible.

If you let him become a close friend, please forgive him for not being able to do so.

"Is Young Master Liang leaving the palace?" Dongfang Qing asked.

Liang Yiru nodded, "Yes."

"The emperor summoned?" Dongfang Qing smiled.

Liang Yiru still had an indifferent and distant expression, "Yes."

"Are you going to say anything other than yes?" she asked.

After the sound fell, Liang Yiru remained silent.

Zhao Yan had earlier asked the emperor to ask, Liang Yiru was neither married nor engaged, and he didn't have any women around him, so he didn't think he would have any sweethearts.Therefore, Dongfang Qingcai ignited hope.

She admired a modest gentleman like Liang Yiru and dared not confess easily.

She was also afraid, afraid that once she spoke out, if Liang Yiru refused, she would not be able to make friends with him even if she had such a casual acquaintance.She didn't want to be so anxious, and she didn't want to scare him.As long as she can walk around and talk to him quietly, she also thinks it's great.

Dongfang Qing thought, as time goes by, people will grow up, and they will always be moved, right?
She can wait.

She also felt that it was worthwhile to bet on her great youth and bet on his touch.

"What do Liang Shaofu like to do?" Dongfang Qing asked softly, as if afraid to startle him.

Liang Yiru said indifferently, "No, just read and practice calligraphy."

"Other than that?" Dongfang Qing asked, "Do you like to walk around? There are also many scenic spots in the capital. When the snow falls, the plum blossoms on Baimei Mountain will be very beautiful. I wonder if Liang Shaofu is interested?"

Hearing this, Liang Yiru paused, lowered his eyebrows slightly, and then continued to walk forward, "Recently, I am busy with affairs in court, so I don't think I have time. If it is really beautiful, I will definitely go and see it when I have free time."

Dongfang Qing nodded again and again, with a lingering smile, "That's naturally excellent." She didn't dare to ask if she could invite them to enjoy it together.As a woman, it is rare to meet a man she likes, no matter how strong and sharp she was before, she will become cautious at this moment.But as long as he knows there is such a place and is interested, he will definitely go if he thinks about it.

"Baimei Mountain has always gathered a lot of literati, Liang Shaofu is so talented, he should go and have a look." Dongfang Qing added intentionally or unintentionally, feeling like knocking over a honey pot.

Liang Yiru nodded politely, "Since it is such a good place, I will definitely take a look next time."

Dongfang Qing smiled, her brows were tender, and she clenched her sleeves tightly with five fingers in her sleeves, as if she was thinking like a little girl, and she was very happy in her heart.Liang Yiru was the first man she liked.Girlish feelings, it's hard to tell.Hold it in your arms and keep it warm in your heart.

She sent Liang Yiru all the way out of the palace gate, watched him leave without looking back after getting into the carriage, and then turned back to the palace.

In a carriage outside the palace, Dongfang Xu lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the scene thoughtfully.It doesn't matter if the concubine loves the concubine, but Liang Yiru's face is expressionless, it can be seen that the concubine has a lover and has no intention of the husband, presumably it is wishful thinking!
"Qing'er has reached the age of marriage, and I'm afraid it's hard to contain her girlish feelings." Dongfang Xu said angrily, and the white ribbon fluttered in the wind and fell on his shoulders.He looked back at Dongfang Yue with a cold expression in the car, and said with a faint smile, "The adoptive father picked a lot of good men for Qing'er earlier, but Qing'er didn't like them. Unexpectedly, she wanted her Choose. But it's not good for her to choose anyone, but she chooses Liang Yiru and Liang Shaofu."

Dongfang Yue's brows became colder, his body stiffened, and he didn't say a word.

Dongfang Xu smiled, "Qing'er cherishes talents, although this Liang Yiru is a stinky and hard stone in a latrine, he still has some skills. Even Shen Hao, who was chosen by his adoptive father, is still slightly inferior in comparison. Point. Xu'er is telling the truth, the adoptive father should not be angry. If this Qing'er continues like this, she will enter the Shaofu's mansion sooner or later. If she becomes Mrs. Liang, I am afraid that her heart will turn to Liang Yiru in the future .”

"Liang Yiru confronted his adoptive father in the court, and he also had a close relationship with Prince Rui in private. I am afraid that Prince Rui would not be able to escape being involved in the matter of seducing Qing'er. Qing'er knows many secrets about his adoptive father. If one day he betrays I lost my adoptive father—"

Dongfang Yue's eyes were instantly cold and cruel, "She dares!"

Sighing softly, Dongfang Xu shook his head regretfully, "A woman's love can be broken into pieces. Don't foster father and I know the feeling of being betrayed by a woman the best?"

The moment the sound fell, Dongfang Xu's eyes widened in amazement, and before he could react, Dongfang Yue had already grabbed his neck, his eyes stained with blood, and he almost gritted his teeth, "What did you say?"

That incident was the most indelible scar in his heart.

Dongfang Xu even dared to sprinkle salt on his wound, isn't he impatient?

The feeling of suffocation made Dongfang Xu's entire face gradually turn purple with stagnant blood, and his lips were even more purple. "Father—forgive me, Xu'er will never, never dare again."

From the parched throat, a hoarse voice came out, like the sound of cloth being torn, which made people feel hairy.

However, Dongfang Xu did not dare to fight back.

Based on his understanding of Dongfang Yue, as long as he fights back, he will surely die.If he didn't fight back, Dongfang Yue might be able to show mercy.

Sure enough, seeing that Dongfang Xu was about to pass out, Dongfang Yue suddenly let go, quickly got out of the carriage, and angrily walked towards the gate of the palace.The guards at the gate of the palace, who dared to stop them, knelt on the ground one by one, not even daring to lift their heads, allowing Dongfang Yue to rush straight into the palace.

Lying weakly on the side of the carriage, Dongfang Xu's veins were bulging all over his body. His face, which was originally warm and moist as jade, had already congealed so much blood at this moment, showing a frightening blue-purple color.He was gasping for breath, clutching his stinging and painful neck, his eyes were bloodshot.The sharp nails left shocking scratches on the wooden board.

Dongfang Yue!
Just now, he almost died in the hands of Dongfang Yue.

Taking a deep breath, Dongfang Xu tried his best to support himself, looked at the open palace gate with a sneer, the scarlet in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by a cold and frosty color, "Dongfang Qing? Huh!"

From childhood to adulthood, Dongfang Yue treated his adoptive son and adopted daughter in two completely different ways.

Treating Dongfang Qing as a jewel in the palm of his hand, treating Dongfang Xu like an enemy, ranging from beating and scolding to severe punishment.Dongfang Xu even felt that it was not easy for him to live till now.Therefore, his life must be controlled by himself.He no longer wants to put his life in the hands of others, in anyone's hands.

In this world, he doesn't believe in ghosts, gods, emotions, or righteousness.

He only believes in hatred, and the power of hatred is the most trustworthy.

People are all sinful, and their hearts are ugly.

In Dongfang Xu's world, everyone is a monster in human skin. No matter what you do, you have a plan, and you want to plunder what belongs to him from him.

So he hates all those who treat him well or badly, because those people are all evil.

He refuses to approach anyone.

Yun Guan quickly approached the carriage, seeing that Dongfang was walking away, he dared to step forward.Seeing Dongfang Xu leaning against the wall of the carriage with bright red strangle marks on his neck, he was slightly stunned, "Master, what's the matter? The Duke seems to be very angry."

"He's more than just angry. This time, someone is going to be in trouble." Dongfang Xu coughed softly, "It's really getting more and more lively."

"My lord, what you mean is—" Yun Guan paused, "Just now I saw that the young lady sent Liang Shaofu out, did the lord see it?"

"I see." Dongfang Xu smiled, the purple color on his face gradually faded, "I can see clearly."

Yun Guan frowned, "Then—would the Duke be willing to give the young lady to Liang Shaofu on a whim, in order to win Liang Shaofu over? If so, it might not be a bad thing. Liang Shaofu is now the emperor's right-hand man, and he often goes in and out. If the imperial study room can win him over, he will become a loner in the emperor's place, and maybe he can make the emperor compromise."

Dongfang Xu sneered, "Compromise? The emperor? There is no simple person in this palace. Even if the little emperor is clumsy, what a shrewd person the queen mother is. Will she let the righteous father hold the emperor to command the princes? Don't forget, don't you still There is Prince Rui Zhao Shuo, that is a ruthless character."

"Prince Rui?!" Yun Guan bowed his head and remained silent.

"Is everything ready?" Dongfang Xu asked.

Yun Guan nodded, "Yes. It's just that if the princess doesn't want to marry the seventh prince, the marriage will be difficult, I'm afraid—" He hesitated.

"If it's impossible, we will follow the original plan." Dongfang Xu sneered, his eyes bright.

"Yes." Yun Guan pursed his lips.

The grievances between Su Guogong's mansion and Prince Rui's mansion will be resolved sooner or later, and it depends on who makes the first move.

----------

Shao Fu Mansion.

After getting out of the car, Liang Yiru looked up at the high hanging plaque, and was in a daze for a moment.

Xiangyi was slightly startled, "Master, what's the matter? Why don't you go in? Is there something uncomfortable?"

"Do you think this gate looks like a tiger's mouth?" He smiled lightly and asked calmly.

Xiangyi smiled, "Young master, what did you say? This is Shaofu's mansion. How many people want to enter but can't get in! What happened to young master today, did the emperor say something? Don't worry, young master. The emperor and young master are friends of eight worshippers. It won’t make things difficult for you even if you think about it.”

Hearing this, Liang Yiru took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled, "There is a difference between monarchs and ministers. Since ancient times, those who can be called brothers and sisters with the king have not ended well. Taoyuan has three marriages, and in the end it is also—"

"Young master?" Xiangyi Zhong was startled, looking at Liang Yiru in confusion.

As if realizing that he had made a slip of the tongue, Liang Yiru smiled wryly, "It's nothing, I just feel a little tired all of a sudden." He stepped up the steps, and when he reached the door, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and turned his head to look at it thoughtfully. Xiangyi, "Help me with something, buy something!"

Xiangyi nodded, "Young master said, what to buy?"

Liang Yiru lowered his eyes, and said in a quiet and calm tone, "Same, something that everyone will use eventually."

"What is it?" Xiangyi asked.

Liang Yiru smiled, and leaned into his ear and said two words, but Xiangyi was so shocked that he froze on the spot, unable to recover for a long time, "Mr., Mr., you, you said yes, yes—"

"Clean up a room and set it aside. Who knows when it will be used, but with this, I feel at ease. Man, there will be such a day sooner or later. If you make preparations early, you will not be afraid When will it come?" Liang Yiru walked slowly into the mansion, "I don't regret it, and I won't go back on my word."

He will never back down from what he should do for her.

Although, everyone in the world says: You are a scholar if you are useless.

Even this scholar is willing to support the sky.

"I heard that the best one is from Liuzhou." Liang Yiru turned around and added.

Xiangyi stood there wiping tears, but said nothing.

Liang Yiru sneered, "Why are you crying, I'm not dead yet, you cried first. If I really die in the future, you will cry to death too. It's fine to listen to your nagging when I'm alive, but wait for me to die. Will the underworld continue to listen to your nagging?"

But it was such a joke that made Xiangyi cry even more, turned around and ran out.

With a light sigh, Liang Yiru laughed dryly, turned around and walked towards the house without saying anything.

Taking over the Daizhou case meant putting himself on the cusp of the storm.No one knows what he will face in the future, but he is not afraid of anything.For a person, if even death is already underestimated, there is nothing that can bother him.

As far as Liang Yiru is concerned, the only thing that can trap him is the word love, nothing else.

He began to read the files of the Huamanlou case in Daizhou, and turned on the lamp all night, searching for clues about the Huamanlou case.

Apart from Liang Yiru, there was also the Great Xia Mission in the posthouse in the capital who couldn't sleep all night.

The twilight flickered, and the candle sparkled.

Ha Tu sat in the room, drinking tea carelessly.The night was deep, and he seemed to be waiting for someone.Leng Jian was placed on the table by his hand, and he could draw his sword to face each other at any time.

The watchman has already beaten the third watch drum, and after a while, it will be dawn.

The person he was waiting for didn't seem to come yet.

Frowning slightly, he wondered if he was wrong?Missed?Or overestimate the other party?

The tea in the cup was exhausted, he sighed softly, stood up and walked towards his bed.The curtain drooped slightly, he frowned, and sat on the edge of the bed unhurriedly.

Unexpectedly, just as he sat down, there was a cold blade on his neck.Just a hair's breadth away would have cost him his life.

"Haven't you been waiting for me? Did you know that I've been waiting for you too?" An ordinary voice came from inside the curtain, "Is it a surprise?"

Hatu smiled lightly, and the corners of his lips raised slightly, "It's not just a surprise, it's simply amazing. I didn't expect that my three layers of defense inside and outside three layers could not match your silence. Admiration!"

"Want to know why?" asked the man in the tent.

"Why?" Hatu looked down at the cold sword on his neck.In the candlelight, the blade of the sword shone with a sharp cold light, making people shudder.He knew that this was not a joke, as long as he dared to act rashly, the sword would show no mercy.

There was silence for a moment, and then there was a quiet and cold voice, "Because this is the boundary of the Great Yan Dynasty."

Hatu didn't speak, but straightened his body and remained motionless.

"Why don't you talk?" the person in the tent asked again.

"I don't know what to say." Hatu replied truthfully.

"Then why don't I tell you for you." The blade was still on Hatu's neck, and it seemed that he didn't intend to move it away at all.

Hatu was startled, "What do you think?"

"Then you want me to confirm it?"

As soon as the voice fell, Hatu's eyes froze, "How do you want to prove it?"

"I just want to ask you a question, are you loyal to the Seventh Prince and swear allegiance to the death?"

Hatu sneered, "I, Daxia boy, stand upright and promise everything, how can I be as cunning as you Dayan people? I am absolutely loyal to the Seventh Prince."

"What if you are in danger?"

Hatu was startled, "What do you mean?"

"If the Seventh Prince is in danger, what will the servant do?"

At that moment, Hatu suddenly understood the other party's intentions, and before he could struggle, several large acupuncture points on his body were restrained, making him unable to move.As soon as his body went limp, he was dragged into the tent.A finger force suddenly popped out from the tent, and the candlestick fell to the ground in an instant, burning the tablecloth.The flames sprang up, and in this dry season, once the fire started, it would become more and more uncontrollable.

Not long after, a sharp shout sounded outside, "It's on fire! It's on fire!"

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of footsteps rushing into the house to put out the fire.

The sound of splashing water and shouts resounded throughout the post house.

The Seventh Prince Yuan Hao rushed into the fire like crazy, quickly looked around with sharp eyes, the next moment, he suddenly narrowed his dangerous eyes, and lifted the curtain.

"Get out!" Hatu yelled, but Yuan Hao was stunned on the spot.
