Time-traveling Bastards Are Politics

Chapter 278
Feng Yong smiled helplessly when she heard what Jing Mo said.

"Then I want to ask you carefully. I hope you can really tell me everything you know."

"It turns out that the old prince played a trick on me. It's okay, if you have any questions, just ask."

"Do you have any explanation for Qing'er's death?"

"There is nothing to explain. The little prince died because of me. I must be responsible. No matter how much you say, in your heart, I'm afraid it's just a sophistry."

"You admit it quickly, but if someone dies with you, what are you going to do? Is it okay to let Qing'er die in ignorance like this?"

"Hey, the little prince died to save me. Do you want to risk my life? I really want to find out who it is, but it takes time to find out. You can't let me, who just woke up, Let me tell you who is the mastermind behind the scenes? If you want to know who killed it, I can tell you directly, but what's the point of being caught? Anyone who dares to do such a thing is most likely a dead man. , I’m afraid you won’t be able to ask anything, right? When the time comes to startle the snake, you might even blame me. I’m sure I can’t do such unclear things, don’t you think?”

"You're very quick-talking! But how are you going to investigate? You tell me! How are you going to investigate?"

"My lord is thinking in his heart, this person in front of him has no official position, no connections, and lack of influence, how can he be found out, isn't that right?"

"Oh, am I wrong?"

"Of course, now that it's like this, no matter who you call, you won't believe it, but I sometimes convince you. I know that the prince must want to know who is behind the scenes, and then avenge the little prince, but the prince Have you ever thought that this menacing person is not aimed at the little prince at all? Not to mention anything else, as far as your power and status in the court are concerned, is there anyone who is blind and dares to touch your child? We all know that the young prince is the only child of your family, not only inheriting your position, but also making good friends with His Highness the Crown Prince, as brothers, who would make a move? Isn't this move obviously against you and His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Hmph, a bunch of nonsense! Then you tell me, who did it? You said a lot, and every word is on point!"

"Don't be angry, my lord. Listen to me slowly. In fact, the one who killed the little lord that night should have come to assassinate me."

"What a joke! Who would come to assassinate you like you are! What's the benefit of assassinating you? Don't think too highly of yourself!"

"Your Highness has a high position and power, so it's normal to look down on soldiers and generals like me, but in fact, I was assassinated, and I don't know why..."

"I also feel that I am nothing, but the first time I was assassinated, I almost died, how long did I lie in bed, and the second time I was assassinated, if it wasn't for the little prince, I might be drinking tea with the king of hell now... ..."

"Then you have said so much, but tell me who killed you! Even if, well, even if someone wants to assassinate you, who would it be? What enemies do you have? You should know this, right?"

"Old prince, I just don't know. If I knew, I would have told you a long time ago. You said that I am powerless. Come to someone who can avenge me. Do you think I can push it out? I It’s just that I don’t know... You said that the person who came was from the fourth prince, but you also know the fourth prince, why did the fourth prince kill me? Besides, everyone knows that I am a useless young master, if you don’t learn Wushu, she was so angry that she became a beauty, and now even my father has... so what's the use of killing me? Besides... my father is alive... When did I suffer such humiliation?"

"What? Wei Huaqing's man? Just him? Still have the guts to kill people? Just tease me!"

"Isn't that true... Even you think so... let alone me... Everyone knows the fourth prince regardless of world affairs, so how can he kill someone? Even if he kills someone, he should kill someone who can help him. ...What's the use of killing me? Are you right, Your Majesty? And no matter how stupid the Fourth Prince is, he won't send the same person to kill me twice, right? I think the first thing I want to do is to find out this person. Who is it, instead of checking something else, are you right?"

"That's true...then do you know who this person is?"

"Before the fourth prince went to Wenzhou, I asked the fourth prince to bring a letter to a friend. You know, my lord, that the fourth prince is gentle, so he would naturally agree. Later, when the fourth prince arrived in Wenzhou, he asked someone to bring a letter, and I said the letter had already been delivered, and the person who delivered the letter at that time was the one who assassinated me. You said, even if the fourth prince is so stupid, he would not send someone I have seen to assassinate me, right? And, at that time, the fourth prince When the prince brought the letter, he once vaguely mentioned to me that there are other people around him. On his way to Wenzhou, there were countless hardships and difficulties. There should be one of the four princes."

"What? Someone assassinated the prince? Is this true?"

"Of course, at that time, I couldn't help it. I thought, the fourth prince was so righteous, and I definitely couldn't just leave him alone. I even asked His Royal Highness the seventh prince to send someone to save the fourth prince! Unexpectedly, the seventh prince is also a A benevolent person actually agreed!"

"Nonsense! According to what you said, His Highness the Crown Prince wants to assassinate the Prince? His Highness the Crown Prince is already below one person and above ten thousand people, so why would he have such thoughts? Besides...the Crown Prince and Qing'er... "

"My lord... there is something... I don't know whether to say it or not..."

"Speak! There is no one else at the moment! You tell me, can I still kill you?"

"Actually... the little prince was ordered by His Royal Highness to assassinate the fourth prince when he went out for a long time... but he didn't succeed... and after the little prince came back, he has always had something on his mind... I don't know. Does it have anything to do with the assassination...Old prince, you also know that the little prince has been in contact with me...Maybe the person who came here is to assassinate the little prince..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?! Let me tell you, I heard it today. If someone else hears it, let alone your life, everyone around you will be buried with you! Be careful! Don't think that Fengwang Mansion After the matter is over, you can speak without restraint!"

"My lord, when did you become so careful? Standing shoulder to shoulder, king, are you also afraid of this? When did you generals who are so powerful on the battlefield and make the enemy fearful, you are afraid of getting into such a small trouble... ...My lord...If I hadn't been known to you for a long time, I would definitely not tell my lord these things today...It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. No wonder, now we can only use these vulgar things to soothe our cold hearts... Sigh..."

"you……"

"My lord, I know what you are afraid of, so I just told you that I will not ask you to investigate this matter. If you investigate this matter, I am afraid that the end will be the same as that of Fengwang Mansion. I don't want to drag you down. I Just to let you know the cause and effect. There are three most painful things in the world, bereavement of a father in childhood, loss of a wife in a young age, loss of a son in old age, I know, the old lord, you have all of them... So I can't let the little lord die unknown Not in vain... Please believe me... Although I am nothing now...

Your Majesty, some things can be solved well without just retreating.Everyone knows that the Holy One is suspicious, not to mention the hero, even the brother, he will not let go... Something has happened to the young prince, you can't let anything happen again, if you believe me, you can leave this matter to me, I I will definitely not let the young prince die in an unknown way.However, you have to lend me a few people... This person must be someone you trust... It can be less, but it cannot be uncertain..."

"I understand this, but if you are like this, what can you find out? If you could find out, the Feng Prince's Mansion wouldn't be where it is today, right?"

"My lord, you will understand even if I don't tell you about the matter of the Feng Wang Mansion, but please believe me about the matter of the little lord. If I am arrested, I will become a traitor again. If you are arrested, this matter will be settled. I'm old, although you are alone now, but if something happens to you, who will avenge the little prince? I don't ask you to give me much help, I just ask you to protect yourself in this matter , you can only avenge the little prince if you protect yourself, and you won't let the little prince suffer innocent injustice."

"I'm very grateful that you think so. It's just that if this matter is as you said, it must involve a lot. I'm afraid you don't have that ability..."

"Don't worry, my lord. Some things can only be found out with a humble identity. Moreover, only I know the appearance of the assassin. If you ask others to investigate, you must also bring me. What is the difference between that and my own investigation? You Just believe me once, if I can't find anything, you will have time to go out. As you said, this matter involves a lot. Even if you investigate, it is impossible to find clues all at once. Why don't you let me, a grassroots Try it, if you can find something, it will be regarded as worthy of your trust. The little prince treats me like a younger brother, how can I do anything that is not good for you? If I am arrested, it is nothing more than thinking that I am a rebellious minister It’s just a thief. If you are arrested, I’m afraid it will cause turmoil in the government and the public, right? If one of your former subordinates, close friends over the years, speaks for you, I’m afraid that a big family will be implicated. This matter, just leave it to me, if I need someone, I will go to Wang Ye."

"Okay then. What's the matter with you, you just ask someone to come to your door, no one will check anything, but, you have to pay attention, don't be followed by someone, I will send someone over to give you some news regularly, If it is inconvenient for you to ask someone to go, just give the news to this person."

"In order to verify your identity, you keep this half. If someone can't come up with the other half, you can just kill him. I'll take care of the rest. If you can catch it and keep it alive, that's the best, but I Looking at your body, if you want someone to live and tell the truth, I'm afraid it will be harder than death, so don't force it. Remember, be careful in everything, you and I know the matter of Fengwang Mansion, and I feel guilty Say something at that time, but please also understand my difficulties. I want to protect not only me, not only Qinger, but also my old comrades in arms. It is impossible for me to say anything. If you do this Hate me, then hate me, I have nothing to say, but this matter, you must be careful!"

"Thank you, my lord, for your concern. I have already guessed about the matter of Fengwang Mansion. I can't blame you. I understand your suffering. No matter what, I will not blame you. I will definitely be careful about this matter. Yes, don't worry, even if I lose my life, I will give the little prince a clean slate."

"Then I'll leave first. I can't stay any longer. You must remember that you cannot live in the restored Feng Prince's Mansion under any circumstances. Remember what I said, you must not live in it!"

"Even if you don't tell me, I won't go. I won't go to a place called recovery but actually under house arrest."

Thinking of the questioning of the One Word Side by Side King, I felt that I was really sorry for the One Word Side by Side King.

No matter how he treats him, his son is indeed gone.

"What's wrong? Did you just get the imperial edict? What did you say?"

"Oh, it's nothing, I'm dispatched to the frontier..."

"This is going to put you under house arrest...then what are you going to do?"

"What else can I do? Can I say no? If you don't go, you will be disrespectful, and you will die."

"You don't have to be discouraged. Since he has blocked you, he won't do anything to you in a short time. You are still safe. After the limelight passes, we can find a way."

"Don't you, Your Majesty, know what it means to die in captivity? Besides, what kind of place is Wenzhou? It's a place where you have money but no place to spend it. Giving me so much money a year doesn't mean I'm going to incite the people to rebel. Me? It would have been fine when merchants were doing business in the past. As a business road, it would not be desolate, but what about now? Even if the people don't think so, life will be miserable. It doesn't matter if I am like this alone. The key is that this position seems to be right and wrong. The imperial edict prohibits him from returning to the court, right? Then if he doesn’t look for me, will I be there forever?"

Thinking of what the King of One Word said to him back then, he felt helpless. Now, he did not die in captivity, but it was not much better.

Feng Yong smiled and said to Jing Mo: "At the beginning I really didn't want to go to Wenzhou, thinking that I would be imprisoned and die. But now, I really think that if I am imprisoned and die can solve everything, I am very willing. Everyone I have already lost a lot. If my efforts can change this situation, why would I not want to? Uncle Jing, I can see many things. Maybe at the beginning, I was too persistent. Now, I really regret it , what I did and said at the beginning, whether it was to Lord Feng, or to King One Word, or to Nan Xing and the others."
