[System] I'm Xie Wuyuan, and I'm in favor of 4 taels

, just let you take care of me like this? "

The second prince raised his head and laughed: "A dilapidated room, with an iron lock, locked it up casually, should I still thank you for sending someone to deliver food to me, a down-and-out prince, without starving me to death? !"

Kong Boyuan also chuckled: "If it wasn't for His Highness's unwillingness to cooperate, why would I bother to make such a bad move."

"Your Highness, stop thinking about that wild man outside," Kong Boyuan said, "Since I promised my mother that I will supervise you to improve, I will definitely do it. Your Highness, why are you stubborn with me? Earlier Take it easy and admit your mistake, you can also go out to preside over the overall situation earlier, can't you?"

"Heh." The second prince sneered, "Kong Boyuan, do you really think I'm stupid?!"

"What kind of wild man, outsiders don't know, don't you know too? Lord Shangshu?"

"Who told me back then that the girl who bought it was innocent?! Who assured me that it was absolutely safe?!" The second prince glared at each other, raging with rage, wishing he could swallow Kong Boyuan alive!

"Who secretly passed the so-called evidence to the third prince?! And who is it that fuels the flames in the court?!"

Kong Boyuan turned a deaf ear to it.

"Your Highness, you must know better than me why Your Majesty committed suicide in Yonghe Palace. No matter how impatient you are, you will never let your Majesty care for you."

The second prince said angrily: "For whom did my mother kill herself?! Kong Boyuan, do you still have a conscience?!"

Kong Boyuan's expression turned slightly positive: "Your Highness, please be careful, your empress has passed away, so you should stop talking about your words and deeds."

The second prince sneered, "That's right, my mother and the Mao family are down, I'm just a waste chess player under house arrest in a Buddhist hall, heh."

Kong Boyuan was startled, and shook his head tolerantly.

The second prince was impatient to chatter with this man, but no matter how much he yelled at him, this man would still come over next month and continue to persuade him.

If the Second Prince hadn't known about his own affairs, I'm afraid he would have believed that the man in front of him sincerely admired Concubine Mao Gui, and even treated him, the prince who had lost power, with a pleasing expression.

Oh, actually?

All of Mao Yicen's hidden clues are in Kong Boyuan's hands.

Kong Boyuan coaxed Mao Yicen to give away all his forces!

Simply ridiculous!

Mao Yicen has lived in the harem all her life, and she has seen many dirty and dirty things. Such a woman would rather trust an outsider than her son!

Ah.

On the first day after Mao Yicen committed suicide, Kong Boyuan found a Buddhist hall and locked up the second prince.

From then on, the second prince had to live a life of "concentrating on worshiping Buddha".

And Kong Boyuan?

I heard it was a good mix.

The upstart by the emperor's side, the new confidant.

Concubine Mao Gui's secret lines and forces, although the master in name is the second prince, but in fact, the "master" of the second prince has been placed under house arrest early on, unable to communicate with the outside world at all.

Even the well-known news that "Kong Boyuan is doing well" was only learned by the servants who came to deliver meals and talked nonsense outside the door.

Go to his mother's care, care!

Fuck the gods with all their heart and soul!

Is this something he can do with Tan Ziqing? !

"If there's nothing else, you can go, I'm going to continue my morning class." The second prince suppressed the anger in his heart, and gave Kong Boyuan the order to evict him expressionlessly.

The author has something to say: [The Second Prince of the Great Liang Dynasty]: I heard that someone wanted my younger brother, so let me make a note and look back hehehe you understand.

[Jiang Shui Taotao]: Show affection, burn, burn, burn!

[Sea water is faint]: Show affection, share quickly!

[Aspire to be the God of Gamblers] Reply to [Sea Water is Miao Miao]: Already divided.

[Administrator] [mdzz] Reply [Aspire to be the God of Gamblers]: You have already left, what are you talking about here? !

——————————————————————————————

Second floor [host][aspires to be the God of Gamblers]: @[mdzz], I saw your father, he always thought you were injured, I told him, you are fine.

@[Little naughty boy with medicine box], are you itchy?

☆, back to Beijing

"If there's nothing else, you can go, I'm going to continue my morning class." The second prince suppressed the anger in his heart, and gave Kong Boyuan the order to evict him expressionlessly.

"Of course I have something to do." Kong Boyuan smiled, not annoyed at all, "Second prince, you must have heard what happened on the way to the fiefdom, the third prince, the fourth prince, and the eldest grandson, right?"

"whats the matter?"

The second prince stared at Kong Boyuan, pursed his upper lip slightly, with a guarded expression.

"Ah, so you don't know," Kong Boyuan explained with a smile, "that is, the three princes, on the official road out of Beijing, encountered an assassin who was ambushing there early in the morning, and more than half of the entourage was lost. The three princes were frightened." .”

"What?!" The second prince was startled.

After pondering for a while, the third prince sneered and mocked, "They, can't wait three years, and started biting dogs?"

"I don't know yet." Kong Boyuan smiled and blinked, "After all, the case hasn't been found yet."

"Not found out?!" The second prince murmured and repeated, "It's been a long time and I haven't been found out. Yes, father made an order not to let it be investigated?!"

who is it? !

Fourth brother?Being favored by the emperor to such an extent, in order to keep the son who committed the crime, he would rather suppress the case than directly throw his son to the counselor and admonisher. Heh, this kind of special treatment is only for the fourth brother. Only the emperor's favor can be enjoyed.

Kong Boyuan didn't take it seriously, "That's not true, His Majesty not only issued an order to investigate," Kong Boyuan patted the second prince's shoulder with a smile on his face, "And he was furious in court, ordered a thorough investigation! The truth came out."

"Then how could it be—? Could it be that it's the He family again?" The second prince suddenly raised his head, "Who is in charge of this matter?"

Kong Boyuan smiled slightly, "Unfortunately, the emperor assigned this matter to me, and the Ministry of Punishment is investigating this matter recently."

"Then why is there no result so far?!" The second prince's pupils shrank: "You, what do you, you, want to do?"

Kong Boyuan shook his head lightly: "Your Highness, you are thinking too much." He looked up at the third prince with a smile in his eyes, "What I want to do depends on Your Highness, what do you want me to do."

Kong Boyuan still smiled faintly, just looking at him, you believe that he is extremely loyal to you.

The second prince laughed at himself.

Kong Boyuan was forcing himself to make a statement, whether to continue to hide in the Buddhist hall, or to stand up and become Kong Boyuan's slogan to attract people's hearts, a puppet in front of the stage.

Kong Boyuan wanted to be a powerful minister, and the second prince knew it early on.

Concubine Mao didn't see it through, she only thought that Kong Boyuan was a scholar who knew how to repay her kindness, or an ordinary man who was greedy for her beauty.

However, what Kong Boyuan wanted was not as simple as a Mao Yicen.

In fact, the second prince sneered, and Kong Boyuan also proved with practical actions that what this down-and-out scholar really needs is not women, justice, morality, but power.

Behind the monstrous power, there must be a monarch who does nothing.

After all, Kong Boyuan wanted nothing more than a puppet in front of the stage.

This six-month life of "respecting the Buddha" was Kong Boyuan's blow to the second prince, and it was also a game between the monarch and his ministers. Obviously, Kong Boyuan won.

The second prince sneered again.

It is really thanks to his mother that Kong Boyuan has been able to flourish these past few years.

Kong Boyuan has indeed flourished in recent years.

In the early days, Mao Yicen regarded this scholar of the Ministry of Criminal Justice as a hidden pawn, paved the way for Kong Boyuan openly and secretly, and established his identity and stood firm in a neutral position.

In the entire Liang Dynasty, no one would doubt Kong Boyuan's identity. He was the "iron and selfless" Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, the emperor's confidant, and the new pillar of the Liang Dynasty.

The Ministry of Punishment will almost replace the Ministry of Officials, which has been cleaned up, and become a new force in the hands of the emperor.

These were arranged by Mao Yicen before.

Mao Yicen did not know how much painstaking efforts Kong Boyuan had made all the way from an ordinary official of the Criminal Ministry, but it was all worth it, because——

Only by mastering the emperor's mind can the second prince stand in an invincible position on the road to becoming a crown prince.

From the looks of it now, Mao Yicen's arrangement was pretty good.

At the very least, Kong Boyuan has indeed become the emperor's confidant, and can control the emperor's words and deeds.

The emperor thought about the case of "the three princes were assassinated on their way to the fiefdom", but in the end he did not hand over this case involving many things to Kong Boyuan.

But now, Kong Boyuan's attitude is very clear.

This case can be regarded as Kong Boyuan's surrender to the second prince's faction again. After all, if he lied about this kind of thing, it is equivalent to personally handing over the handle to the second prince.

In the hands of the second prince, holding Kong Boyuan's handle, he would naturally give Kong Boyuan the corresponding trust.

The second prince's face was light and calm, as if he didn't regard this kind of thing as a big deal at all, but in his heart, he had already tossed Kong Boyuan over and over forty or fifty times.

What a Kong Boyuan!

First set himself a trap, and then use the hands of the third prince to pull down the second prince and imprison him in the Buddhist hall. After a period of time, he will give favors and let Kong Boyuan help the second prince up. One way to know kindness and repay.

Ah!

Kong Boyuan's words still echoed in his ears.

"That depends on what your Highness wants me to do."

The second prince chuckled lightly, and said in a friendly tone, "Really? Then, Bo Yuan, what do you want me to ask you to do?"

Of course the second prince understood Kong Boyuan's meaning.

In the case of the "Assassination of the Third Prince", Kong Boyuan wanted to make a fuss and find a way to produce enough evidence to bring down any one of the three princes, the third prince, and the eldest grandson of the emperor.

Or, the three get off the horse together, so that the second prince who was abandoned for "robbing the men of the people" can appear in front of everyone again.

The crimes of "murdering royal blood" and "murdering newborn brothers, uncles and nephews" are much more serious than "robbing civilian men".

The second prince fell into deep thought.

Although there are advantages to doing so, there are also many disadvantages.

The emperor did order Kong Boyuan to thoroughly investigate the case, but it did not mean that the rest of the people could not investigate this matter. If someone finds out the real mastermind, they will go to court and if they don't pay attention, they will be implicated.

Too much risk.

Although it is not impossible, but if something happens, I am afraid that I will not be able to protect myself.

The room was silent.

Kong Boyuan didn't urge him either.

After a while, the sun gradually set.

Kong Boyuan spoke again: "Your Highness, I promised my empress that I will always help you sit in that position."

"As long as you open your mouth, this Great Liang Dynasty will be yours."

The second prince twirled the beads, closed his eyes and meditated.

Kong Boyuan sighed, "My road has already been paved, Ziqing, have you really thought it through?"

The second prince paused his hand and stood up.

Just moving his legs and feet, the chains on his body made a "crash" and "crash".

The second prince sneered: "Master Kong is joking, do I have any other choice?"

On board the thief ship, compared with dying in the "Buddhist hall", the second prince still chose to live.

The "assassination case of the third prince" dragged on for nearly half a year without any results. The second prince has no doubt that if he said "no" to the Minister of Criminal Justice today, then tomorrow, a booklet will appear on the emperor's desk, the content of which is about "The second prince harbored a grudge and deliberately retaliated, and he was the chief culprit in this case."

Without any suspense, Emperor Liang Ming would definitely believe it.

After all, it's not that Emperor Liang Ming didn't do such things as murdering his brothers and nephews.

The traditional items of the old Tan family.

"They're all puppets. It's better to die in front of the stage than behind the scenes, isn't it?" The second prince swayed his legs and feet again as if on purpose, and the long chains collided with each other, making a "crash" and "crash" sound.

Kong Boyuan paused: "It's good that His Highness knows."

"Untie it for me." The second prince shook the chain impatiently, with a harsh tone.

Kong Boyuan was not annoyed, he chuckled softly, took out the key, squatted down, and unlocked the second prince himself.

-----------------------

Xie's study.

Xie Chengwen made a form, sketched it out, and didn't know what he was fiddling with.

Chazhan stood at the door of the study to announce.

Father Xie just turned a page and sketched a new one.

"Master, the young master is back." Chazhan stood at the door and reported in a polite manner.

Xie Chengwen's hands stopped, he stopped writing, thought for a moment, and ordered the teacup: "Let him come over after cleaning up."

The tea cup answered through the door, and returned to Xie Wuyuan's yard in a hurry.

Xie Wuyuan was leisurely crossing his legs, drinking tea in the room, the charm of tea is gone, there is no big maid in Xie Wuyuan's room, now the tea cup comes in, but no one stops him, Xie Wuyuan looks at it from a long distance Seeing the tea cup, now seeing the tea cup entering the courtyard, Xie Wuyuan sneered, put down the teacup in his hand, and sat up straight.

The teacup stumbled into Xie Wuyuan's room, and told Xie Wuyuan everything, not only repeating Xie Chengwen's words accurately, but also imitating Xie Chengwen's tone vividly.

Xie Wuyuan's long and narrow eyes had no meaning, he didn't know what he was thinking about, after listening to Chazhan's words, he just said "oh" casually, and sent Chazhan away.

In this room, Chazhan finished reporting to Xie Chengwen, and was wondering, did my young master change his gender?Why is it so easy to talk, isn't it like eating explosives before, didn't it catch fire at one point?

The author has something to say: The second floor [host][aspires to be the God of Gamblers]: @[mdzz], I saw your father, he always thought you were injured, I told him, you are fine.

@[Little naughty boy with medicine box], are you itchy? !

I thought a lot a few days ago, we might not be suitable, he was too boring to stay by my side, you can imagine becoming interested in a tiger, and the tiger would willingly pull out its fangs in order to stay by your side, Put away your paws and be as docile as a house cat?

Unfortunately, what I am interested in is obviously the original tiger.

I don't like him now.

What's more, if things go on like this, it's not good for his development.

☆、study

In that room, Xie Wuyuan was procrastinatingly packing up his things, thinking about what to eat in the kitchen later.

Anyway, his father said, wait for him to clean up before going to the study.

He was alone, so it was understandable that he was slow to tidy up.

Xie Wuyuan dawdled in the house for a long time, then went to the kitchen for a long while, until Father Xie finally couldn't wait any longer and sent someone to remind him again, Xie Wuyuan staggered out of the kitchen and went to the study.

The layout of the study is exactly the same as Xie Wuyuan's impression.

Even the location of the books is exactly the same as before Xie Wuyuan left, it has not changed at all.

Xie Wuyuan is very suspicious, has his father never opened or read the books in the study?

Father Xie was standing behind the desk, when he heard Xie Wuyuan push the door in, he casually put down the brush, picked up the hot tea on the table, and took a sip unhurriedly.

Xie Wuyuan smelled the rich tea fragrance, and saw Father Xie half-closed his eyes to enjoy, so he couldn't help swallowing.

Alas, since Cha Yun left, there is no one around who knows how to make tea.

He also wants to drink the good Mingqian Yulu.

Xie Wuyuan stared blankly at Father Xie, ah no, the cup in Father Xie's hand.

want to drink.

Aww!I said I want to drink too, can't you hear me? !

want to drink.

Ouch!

If you don't give me a drink, you let me go! !

Go back and find a tea clock to brew for me, hum!

Father Xie was not affected at all, as if teasing him, he took a sip slowly, and then another sip.A cup of tea is as good as two sticks of incense.

Xie Wuyuan finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Father, what do you want from me?"

Father Xie glanced at him lightly and spoke slowly.

"Tell me about defending the third prince from arrows and getting poisoned."

Xie Wuyuan gave a dry cough, and told the ins and outs of "the prefect of Chongzhou slaughtered the villagers, was arrested and brought to justice, and tried to resist". He talked with great interest and vividly, and the old man's face fell down when he heard it, his face was gloomy, and he was angry. .

In the end, Xie Wuyuan looked at the gloomy face of the old man, thinking that when he was bragging, his personal heroism was too much, so he added another sentence in a low voice.

"You asked me to protect the third prince, saying that he is the foundation of the Xie family's life, and that no accidents should happen in the hands of the Xie family. Didn't I follow your orders?"

Father Xie made him angrily raise his crutches on the spot, and slapped him hard: "What I mean, you still know what I mean?! Ah?! I mean to let you do superficial work! Ah? ! Do you know what superficial skills are?! Ah?! Just don’t let the third prince die in your hands! What does the eunuch’s assassination and ambushes have to do with you, ah?!”

"I raised you up so much, huh?! Just to let you go and defend their old talkers?! You bastard, ah, you are usually so clever, but at critical moments, you are talking to me. ,ah?!"

Dad, when you get excited, all your spoken words come out.ah? ——Ah what "ah".

"Ahem," Xie Wuyuan straightened his expression, "Father, didn't you always teach me that the Xie family has been loyal and good for generations, and our ancestors have served the country for generations, so we should be more loyal to the emperor. I am not afraid to drag our family back, thank you Are the ancestors of the family ashamed?"

Father Xie was furious: "You do know, ah, the Xie family has been loyal for generations, ah, where is it that you are the only one missing?!" Father Xie made Xie Wuyuan angry, angrily turned over the old score, "Old Tan family and their ancestors are following us to thank you. Behind the house, are there not enough arrows to hide from?! Ah?! Tell me, you are the only one missing?! Ah?!"

The Xie family was the one who followed the first generation of emperors to fight the world. No, they rushed in front of the emperor to fight the world. The emperor hid arrows behind their family's buttocks.Indeed, they always talked about their family ancestors, following behind Xie's family, they avoided quite a few arrows.

However, this does not mean that they can be sheltered by their ancestors and do nothing.

When the First Emperor rewarded meritorious deeds, he specially bestowed iron coupons on Danshu, wasn't it just to encourage the descendants of the Xie family to follow the example of their ancestors and continue to serve the motherland?

"Actually," Xie Wuyuan explained, "Father, I couldn't help myself at the time. Seeing the third prince hit by an arrow, my heart skipped a beat, thinking that if he died, I wouldn't be able to live either. That's why I rushed forward."

Father Xie stared at Xie Wuyuan with wide eyes, raised the crutch in his hand very high, and pointed at Xie Wuyuan tremblingly: "You, you prodigal bastard, what are you talking about?! Ah?! You are trying to piss me off You!! I said that you were picky and picky, and you have always refused to get married, and when your mother and I were out of reach, you sent the big maid in the room away!"

"A maid, ah! Alone in Quanzhou! How can I live alone! You are really cruel!" Father Xie looked at Xie Wuyuan with hatred, and waved his hands helplessly, "Yes, this Let's put things aside, after all, back then that girl went to our back kitchen to steal things, and even killed a few nurses by mistake, she deserved to be beaten to death, if you stop her desperately, you have the right to think she paid you back."

Xie Wuyuan thought to himself, I don't want to take the pot of tea rhyme, this bastard left by himself, let's just leave, his mother is still wandering the rivers and lakes with his lover, he is at ease, leaving me alone in Xie's mansion Li, damn it, if it wasn't for Daliang Chao's private decision to soak the pig cage for life, I would open my mouth and unload the pot in minutes!What a broken pot, don't carry it!Do not recite! !

"Ah, how old were you at that time in Nanhuai, huh?!" Father Xie took a sip of tea and continued to yell, "12 years old, ah, since you were 12 years old, ah, you have been confused with He He It’s so clear! Don’t think that Nanhuai is far away from the capital, so I don’t know anything about your father! If your mother didn’t stop me and let me take care of you, I would have asked Chazhan to tie you into rice dumplings and transport you back to the capital. Already!" "

teacup?Xie Wuyuan was puzzled, it shouldn't be, when he and He He were alone, he deliberately left the teacup and tea feast in the old house.

Is there another eyeliner?

"You still dare to be distracted?!" Father Xie raised his crutches, and turned his backhand again, "Hiss", Xie Wuyuan jumped suddenly, is his father's crutches made of magnets?Why is it so heavy! !

There must be a bruise on the leg.

Father Xie coughed and slowed down his tone.

"I thought about it carefully. It's not easy for you to be admitted to Jinshi. Thanks to him, the second son of the He family is good to you, and his status is not high. He is just a second son, and he can't win the title. You can just play Well, even if their surname He came to the door, our old Xie family is not afraid, no matter how bad your father is, he can keep you, but you—"

"You bastard, you actually set your mind on the third prince?! Ah?! And said in front of my face that you won't live after he dies?! You are trying to force me to take thank you!" Are you standing in line?! Ah?!"

Father Xie raised his crutch, thought for a while, and then put it down, and slapped the table beside him fiercely with his right hand.The heavy pear wood table made a dull sound, the teacup shook, and the tea splashed everywhere.

Xie Wuyuan thought about it carefully, and felt that there was something wrong with his statement.

"No, father, I mean, at that time, I had a feeling from the bottom of my heart. If something happened to the third prince, it would definitely not be him who died, but me. At that time, I had such an intuition, and I didn't know What's going on, I still want to come back and ask you, don't be angry, even if I have something to do with the third prince, I can't die with him."

Father Xie vainly drew his cane: "You still have something to do with the third prince, you quickly break it up, people who talk about the family are not good things."

"Father," Xie Wuyuan jumped, dodging Xie's father's crutches, "Let's not talk about this, let's talk about the business."

"What's the business?" Mr. Xie put away his crutches and said seriously, "Apart from gambling with men, what else can you do?"

"How could I be so unable to support the wall?" Xie Wuyuan coughed awkwardly, and suppressed his smile: "When the third prince was assassinated earlier, I vaguely felt that there seemed to be something wrong with me and the third prince. Connection, the kind that can transfer life and death, anyway, I just have an intuition, if the third prince's life is in danger, it is very likely that I will die, um, roughly, I am the third prince's scapegoat or something?"

"I'm not sure. After all, I can't kill the third prince for this kind of thing. I'll try it myself to find out who died in the end, so it's just a feeling up to now."

Xie Chengwen listened to Xie Wuyuan's description, his face became serious, and he thought for a moment, "Could it be the Tan family's trouble?" Then he shook his head and denied: "No, the Tan family doesn't have such a great ability."

Xie Wuyuan was stunned, Xie Wuyuan's words clearly meant that he didn't know anything, he looked like he didn't know anything, and didn't know the details, Xie Wuyuan's complexion immediately became ugly: "What's going on?! Daddy, you too Do not you know?"

Before, Xie Wuyuan used "the Xie family's method of controlling servants" as a bait, and successfully tricked the third prince.

Although the third prince said that the Tan family doesn't have such abilities, Xie Wuyuan doesn't really believe it. After all, the Tan family is so big, and the third prince has only been back to the palace for a few years, so what he knows must be limited. Besides, the third prince has not been favored very much. No matter what, this kind of royal family secrets will not reach the ears of the third prince.

Even if the Tan family really has this kind of ability, the third prince may not know it. To put it bluntly, the current emperor has a bad reputation. It is not certain whether the current emperor knows about this kind of method, let alone just A prince?

However, Father Xie's expression clearly showed that he didn't know anything.

If it was really a secret tacit understanding between the Xie family and the Tan family in the early years, then there is no reason for the Xie family not to know about it.

The author has something to say: Mr. Xie took away his crutches and said seriously, "Apart from gambling with men, what else can you do?"

I was really writing and writing, and suddenly I laughed hahahaha thank you for the truth, old man

☆, secret passage

Xie Wuyuan also held his breath in his heart, pondering carefully.

"Father, to be honest, at first I thought this was the same as our family's chief minister's Gu, and it was a Gu planted by the Tan family on the Xie family, but looking at it now, it doesn't seem to be it?"

Father Xie was stunned for a moment: "Master Gu? How do you know?"

Xie Wuyuan hesitated for a moment, but still came out peacefully: "Didn't I be poisoned? When I was detoxifying in Chongzhou, I met Youyi and Qiao Nan."

Father Xie was taken aback again: "The 'five' are the secrets of the Xie family, how do you know?" After a while, Father Xie was relieved, "Yes, you didn't like to move around when you were young, you just liked to nest in the study, I probably saw it in the study."

Xie Wuyuan gave a "hmm" and responded.

Xie Wuyuan continued, "Qiao Nan was a little crazy, and he held the third prince hostage. Anyway, it was quite chaotic at that time, and we didn't have enough people. In a hurry, I said, cough," Xie Wuyuan stopped.

"What's wrong with you?" Father Xie asked hastily.

"Well, I used the Xie family's secret method privately, heck, the one mentioned in the notes can only be used by the owner of the family."

Father Xie was stunned for a moment again, the astonishment on his face couldn't be concealed, "You, what are you talking about? The password secret method that the Patriarch can use?"

Xie Wuyuan casually said "Yes" again, and didn't say anything more, thinking in his heart, Mr. Xie is very angry, according to today's development, he will definitely be scolded again later.

Father Xie just let out a long sigh: "God's will, it's all God's will. I thought I'd call you and your brother over and choose one of you. You are too young; you are clever, but your mind is uncertain. No matter who you choose, there will always be something wrong. It will be difficult to find any suitable person for a while. After all, what you want to inherit is not only the Xie family, but also the entire girder Chao’s mouthpiece, I didn’t expect it, I didn’t expect it—”

"Didn't expect anything?" Xie Wuyuan asked.

Father Xie let out a long laugh: "Unexpectedly, the Gu worm has already made the choice for me."

Xie Wuyuan wanted to ask again, but Xie's father avoided answering, and instead suppressed his smile, his tone was serious: "Wuyuan, come with me."

Xie Wuyuan followed behind Father Xie, turned three times and went to the ancestral hall.

Father Xie pushed open the door of the ancestral hall, "Didn't you always wonder what the iron coupons of our family's alchemy look like? Would the emperor want to take it back?"

Respectfully offering incense to the ancestors, Father Xie took Xie Wuyuan to kneel down, kowtowed three times, then stood up, stretched out his left hand, and put the ring on his hand in the depression of the tribute platform, "click" Suddenly, something loosened.

Xie Wuyuan looked around secretly, there was no secret door.

There is no secret passage either.

The slender eyebrows were tightly frowned, did I hear wrong?

Father Xie withdrew his hand, complained in a low voice, and slowly pushed the top tablet.

It was the tablet of the first generation ancestor of the Xie family, and it was also the original owner of the Xie family's writings, the original owner of the "five".

Xie Wuyuan showed a suddenly realized expression, that's right, no wonder every time he offered incense to his ancestors, he felt that the tribute platform was missing a piece, earlier he thought it was because the seniors were ignorant and broke it when they were young.

It turned out to be used to put the ring and open the secret room!

The wall on one side of the ancestral hall receded slowly, revealing a secret passage that only allowed one person to pass through.

Xie Wuyuan followed behind Father Xie and went down the steps step by step.

Perhaps because no one came in for a long time, the air circulation here is not good, Xie Wuyuan wrinkled his nose in disgust.

There is a light on the side of the secret passage, the dim light reflects the redness of the steps, it is red, and it is extremely gorgeous.

Xie Wuyuan followed Father Xie, walking down the steps step by step.

There was a faint sound of water coming from below.

The sound of the water is mixed with the shaking of the iron chain, and the sound of cursing can also be heard.

Xie Wuyuan turned his head sharply.

wrong.

It's not that the steps reflected by the lights are red!

The steps themselves are red!

Xie Wuyuan was taken aback again, and took a deep breath of air.

The smell in the air is not musty at all!

Rather, it was somewhat similar to the peculiar stench of a prison cell!

"Father, what is under our ancestral hall?" Xie Wuyuan asked.

Here, a noun appeared in Xie Wuyuan's mind, a noun that would only appear in the homes of traitors and traitors.

However, does the Xie family really have such outrageous things?

"Didn't you guess it?" Father Xie looked back at him, and said calmly, "The water prison."

Xie Wuyuan's expression was very exciting. He looked at each other with suspicion, enthusiasm and excitement flew together. He was a little bit eager to sneak out of the house when he was a child, and he was a little anxious to be found out: "Father, our family has been loyal for generations. What happened under the ancestral hall?" Is there such a thing?"

Father Xie chuckled lightly: "I see that your methods over the past few years are quite worthy of your grandfather's true teachings. It's fine to be cruel and merciless. I didn't expect that you would ask this kind of question." question."

Xie Wuyuan touched his nose innocently: "What's the matter with this kind of problem? I always thought that our family is the first-class clean stream from the top of the beam."

Father Xie shook his head: "Qingliu? I have been a censor for so many years, but I have never seen Qingliu in the Liang Dynasty! Besides, I have offended so many people in the court, but I have lived peacefully until now. Do you think I rely on What, is it really as a clean stream, relying on the favor of those in power?

Xie Wuyuan: "What do you rely on?"

Father Xie sighed: "What I rely on, what you have to rely on, is naturally the accumulation of the Xie family over the years."

The two passed a prison cell, and the chains in the water prison rattled, and there was a mighty and majestic man in the prison, with disheveled hair and disheveled face.

Although the water dungeon was built underground and the sun was out of sight throughout the year, the Xie family did not mistreat these prisoners. Candles were lit all year round beside the dark passage, and the lights flickered.
