Without Yang Yingxiong, Master Liu did not dare to read the contents of the letter without permission, so he could only ask: "Sir, is this letter given to you by Lord Yingge?"
Yang Yingxiong nodded solemnly and handed the letter to Master Liu. After reading the content of the letter, the latter's face turned even uglier than Yang Yingxiong's, and his hands holding the letter couldn't help but tremble, "Sir, Master Yingge...
...He wants you to kill...kill...the Crown Prince? This...this is a serious crime!"
Yang Yingxiong said coldly: "I know, but do you think I and you have a way out now?"
This sentence made Master Liu fall silent. He was not a soft-hearted person, otherwise he would not have suggested that Yang Yingxiong escort Buqi to the capital and send him back to the west; but killing Buqi is completely different from killing a prince.
The concept is that if this matter is not exposed, there will be no problems. I am afraid that if it is leaked, it will be the crime of killing the nine tribes, and no one can survive.
"I understand the humble position, but this matter..." Before Master Liu could say anything, Yang Yingxiong had already said: "Is there any movement from Prince Guo in the past few days?"
To be cautious, he not only sent his close associates to monitor Buqi's house, but also the Fuyun Inn to ensure that he would be informed of any changes on either side.
"No, Prince Guo has been recuperating in the inn, and there hasn't been any movement. I guess he doesn't know that the Crown Prince is here." Before Yang Yingxiong could ask, he already knew the answer: "As for Buqi, it's the same, although he has been there all the time.
I want to inquire about the identity of that noble man, but no one knows it except for the noble person and the humble person, so how can he possibly find out."
Yang Yingxiong listened silently. After a long time, he stood up and said: "Success can be found in small details, and wealth can be found in dangers. If you want to be a master, you must take risks."
"Sir, have you really decided?" Until this moment, Master Liu's voice was still trembling.
"What, you don't dare anymore?" Yang Yingxiong glanced at Master Liu coldly. The latter's scalp went numb as soon as he caught his gaze, but at the same time his mind was unusually clear. Just like what Yang Yingxiong said before, at this point
, in addition to continuing to rely on Yingge
, there is no way out. Besides, Yingge also sent people. All the big families in the capital raise secret guards. The people he sent must be the secret guards hiding in the dark. If these people find out that they have any
If there is any abnormal movement, I'm afraid they will be killed first.
Thinking of this, Master Liu lowered his head and said, "In this humble position, I will obey your orders."
His words made the coldness in Yang Yingxiong's eyes recede slightly. After burning the secret letter, he said: "Before those people come, don't alert the enemy."
Just as Master Liu was about to speak, someone suddenly walked in. Yang Yingxiong was shocked and quickly covered the memorial on the table with his sleeves.
When Master Liu saw the person walking in, he looked shocked, but he quickly suppressed it, cupped his hands and said, "I've met Lord Zhizhou in my humble position."
However, the shock did not escape Bu Qi's eyes. He chuckled and said, "Master Liu, no courtesy."
After walking up to Yang Yingxiong, he cupped his hands and said, "I've seen you, sir."
"Bu Qi is here, please take a seat." Although the two of them have been secretly competing with each other, how could they not understand the discord between face and heart in the officialdom, even if they clearly want to get rid of it and get over it soon?
You can still maintain the appearance of having a good conversation.
After ordering his servants to serve tea, Yang Yingxiong said politely: "Buqi, you came to see me, but what happened in the Yamen?"
Bu Qi said with a respectful attitude: "There is nothing going on in the yamen. I just saw Master Liu hurriedly looking for you. I was afraid that there would be something happening here that I would need to do, so I came here to have a look."
Hearing this, Yang Yingxiong glanced at Master Liu, who quickly said: "The reason why Master Zhizhou is laughing is that I have encountered something, and I am eager to ask for help."
"Oh, I wonder if you can tell me?" Bu Qi kept remembering the surprise that flashed across Master Liu's face just now. How could he believe his words easily? And the most important thing is that he knew exactly who came to see him just now.
Master Liu.
"This..." Master Liu glanced at Yang Yingxiong in embarrassment. He was just talking nonsense just now, and he couldn't really say anything.
Yang Yingxiong smiled calmly and said: "Since Master Liu is embarrassed to say it, let me do it for him. It's not a big deal, it's just a little hard to talk about." Stroking his beard, he continued: "Master Liu
My youngest son got into a fight with someone in a private school and injured someone. The family said they wanted to report it to the official. Although the injury was not serious, Master Liu was still worried, so he came to tell the official in advance."
Bu Qi nodded and said: "That's it."
Just when Yang Yingxiong thought that Bu Qi believed his lie, Bu Qi suddenly said: "But why did I just see someone from the post station come to see Master Liu, and then Master Liu hurried to see the Lord?
Is it possible that Master Liu's youngest son was involved in the inn when he injured someone?"
His words made Yang Yingxiong not know how to answer for a moment. At the same time, he was secretly annoyed. This Buqi was clearly deliberately digging a trap for him to jump.
Seeing that Yang Yingxiong and Master Liu were speechless, Bu Qi sneered in his heart, but said calmly: "Sir, what's wrong? Why don't you speak?"
Yang Yingxiong came over, pretending not to care and said: "Oh, it's nothing. When Master Liu was about to come in, the clerk at the inn happened to bring the official document over, and Master Liu brought it in with him."
Buqi raised an eyebrow and said, "Why don't you know that your Excellency recently sent an official document to the inn? I wonder what the reason was?"
Yang Yingxiong stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It's just a small matter. I didn't think it was important, so I didn't disturb Bu Qi. You don't blame me, right?"
"I don't dare." Buqi's eyes were full of doubts, "But since I heard about it, I can't help but be a little curious. I hope you can tell me what small matter it is that requires the inn to be used."
Yang Yingxiong said calmly: "I've already said it's a trivial matter, why bother mentioning it again."
When Yang Yingxiong was talking, Bu Qi sharply noticed the corner of silk exposed on the outside of Yang Yingxiong's sleeve, with a yellow silk cover. Isn't this... the booklet handed to the emperor? Could this be what Master Liu just brought in? Just now he
Although he saw the inn clerk handing something to Master Liu, he couldn't see clearly what it was because he was far away.
But Yang Yingxiong didn't know what secrets he had handed to the emperor. Could it be that he knew the identity of the fourth elder brother and wanted to take credit from him? But how did he know that he was the only one who knew about this matter from beginning to end, and even the secrets were made by himself?
