The emperor is pressing on so hard, and I am afraid that the falsehood will be forced to become true - if this is true, it will really be a model of overthrowing his own throne.
"I don't need to bother Minister Ji to ask about this." Xu Mingyi ignored the other party's temptation and only said: "Shang Shu Ji only needs to seriously consider whether the transaction I mentioned is feasible."
Ji Xiu straightened the corners of his mouth.
After thinking for a moment, he said: "I can agree, but there is one condition -"
Xu Mingyi was very patient and changed a cup of hot tea for himself, while saying: "Ji Shangshu might as well talk about it."
"I want Xia Tingzhen to die." Ji Xiu said word by word.
"As soon as this thief dies, no matter who he is in the hands of, I will tell you everything I know -"
He wants revenge, but it is undoubtedly difficult for him to do it alone, especially since he has to take care of Wan'er... If Wan'er can really get the protection of the Xu family, he can rest assured to do what he wants to do.
Xu Mingyi took a sip of tea and said noncommittally: "Ji Shangshu wants to delay time and wait and see the situation. Anyway, he doesn't want to make a loss-making transaction."
Want Xia Tingzhen's life——
It's not always possible to get it immediately.
And if Xia Tingzhen is really dead, then the death of the Dog Emperor is obviously not far away. In this case, Ji Xiu, who is destined to have a bad end, will not have much meaning in holding on to the secrets of the past.
This condition was put forward very calmly.
What he was thinking was seen through by a little girl. Ji Xiu frowned, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then put it down: "The situation is like this, I have to think more and wait and see. If I explain it to Miss Xu today, how will I know you?"
Will he definitely fulfill his promise?"
Xu Mingyi looked at him for a while.
She naturally already knew the answer to the death of the late emperor.
But what she wants is an accurate statement, a complete story, and even a weighty witness.
If there is a shortcut, who would be willing to carry a knife and fight with blood all the way, causing the country to be in turmoil and the people to be in danger?
so--
"As soon as it's settled, I will sacrifice Xia Tingzhen's life to exchange the truth with Minister Ji."
Xia Tingzhen must die.
This is also the enemy of her Xu family for two generations.
Therefore, no matter how the account is calculated, she will not suffer any loss.
Hearing that she had read through his own thoughts, but still agreed straightforwardly, Ji Xiu felt inexplicably uncertain: "Miss Xu, aren't you afraid that I will regret it?"
Xu Mingyi shook his head lightly: "Since I have found Mr. Ji, I believe it. Even my grandfather once said that Mr. Ji is a straightforward man and does not like to bend around. Things that have been determined and agreed upon will not be easily changed."
Ji Xiu raised his eyebrows suspiciously.
Did Duke Zhen Guo really say that?
Why doesn't he believe it so much?
And that’s not really what the original words said.
Xu Mingyi remembered that it was probably - 'That's just a stubborn donkey with no brains. He plunged into a dead end and couldn't pull himself out! But a beating will still help.'
Well, a good beating will help.
If the other party dared to go back on his word, she would arrest him then and ask her grandfather to give him a good beating first.
The little girl was eating slowly with a cup of tea, but Ji Xiu felt a little cold on his back for no reason. He thought of the day when he was beaten by the Duke of Zhen, who had threatened, "If you dare to put your hand on my granddaughter's head again,
, I will personally go to your Shangshu Mansion and twist off your dog's head!'——
The Xu family has always been tough and quick-tempered. In order to know the answer as soon as possible, will this little girl kill that thief Xia Tingzhen overnight?
Thinking of this possibility, Ji Xiu had to say: "Before that thief died, I had a few words to say to him, and remember to give him a breath..."
Xu Mingyi glanced at him.
Does the other party think she can kill Xia Tingzhen with one knife?
If she had such extraordinary abilities, wouldn't it be better to kill the Dog Emperor directly?
The two of them talked for a few more words, and Xu Mingyi put down the tea cup, stood up and said, "Now that we have agreed, let's take our leave first - not only are the tea and snacks here delicious, but the food is also good. I have asked someone to prepare one before.
Table, Mr. Ji can have dinner with Miss Ji before returning home."
The conversation went smoothly, and Ji Xiu did not refuse: "Thank you very much, Miss Xu, for your hospitality."
"Ji Shangshu is welcome."
Xu Mingyi saluted, turned around and left the elegant room.
When he saw his girl coming out, Azhu, who was waiting outside, came forward to greet her.
Ji Wanyou who was on the side also walked over: "Is Miss Xu going back?"
She really wanted to make friends with Miss Xu. Who wouldn’t like a smart, independent and capable beautiful girl and not want to get close to her?
Not to mention that the other party helped her to recognize the true identity of a jackal and helped her family avoid a fatal disaster——
But now that the two families' stances were like this, it was not good for anyone to get close to each other openly, and the opportunity to meet in secret was so rare, but she hadn't had time to say anything to Miss Xu.
Xu Mingyi nodded: "There are still some things to do. Miss Ji, please go in and have tea."
Ji Wanyou could only nod her head: "Miss Xu, go slowly. If I have a chance in the future, I will treat Miss Xu to tea."
Xu Mingyi took Ah Zhu from the backyard to the front hall, but did not leave Pingqing Hall, but went to the second floor.
Outside a private room, Ah Zhu raised his hand and knocked on the door.
The door was quickly opened from the inside, and Xiao Qi's smiling face appeared in sight. He stepped aside and said, "Miss Xu, please come in."
When Xu Mingyi walked into the room, he stepped out, closed the door, and stood guard outside.
As soon as Xu Mingyi sat down in the chair, Wu Chao poured a cup of warm tea for her and pushed it in front of her: "Speaking of which, I must be thirsty now."
"I'm not thirsty. Don't you dare to drink the tea I ordered?" Xu Mingyi looked at him and said, "Ji Xiu agreed, but he made another condition for me - he must first get rid of Xia Tingzhen.
, and then he was willing to tell the truth about that year."
Wu Chao didn't think it was that surprising, he just said: "It does put forward a condition that is quite beneficial to the country and the people."
Xia Tingzhen can be called a traitor and a great evil. The emperor had at least half of the 'credit' for destroying the Xie family to such an extent.
"Yes, I think so too. It's just a matter of course." Xu Mingyi said: "It's just that if we want to get rid of this person now, we have to borrow the emperor's hand. Speaking of this, the Queen mentioned something in her letter today.
Something..."
She told Wu Chao what the Queen said in her letter about Xiao Chenzi.
Speaking of this little Chenzi, he is really a silly boy who is loyal and smart enough.
And as long as the Dog Emperor dies, the unnecessary deaths of innocent people will never really stop.
"Even if the emperor did not take action immediately due to various reasons, he must have been suspicious, and in order to prevent Xia Tingzhen from slipping out of control through Qiao Bingying's incident, he would secretly monitor his every move." Xu Mingyi said: "This may be the case.
It’s an opportunity.”
Wu Chao nodded and said thoughtfully: "Zhao Zhao, I have found out something recently..."
Something related to Concubine Rong in the palace.
