Chapter 111 The Conspirator and Father (Part 2)
Jinyiwei Nanzhen Fushi Juwentang.
Since Zhang Yong took over the case of Zhu Houxi and the Tianji Society, he and Jiang Xia have borrowed this Juwentang as a temporary office location from the Nanzhen Fushi Office. Jiang Xia felt very strange when the Nanzhen Fushi Office, which has been criticized for severe torture and cruel laws, gave an office location a very literary name.
At this moment, there are only Zhang Yong, Zhong Bin and Jiang Xia in the Wentang. Jiang Xia held a copper token in his hand, which was about the size of a palm. The word "Tianji" was written on the front, and the dragon pattern of the Han Dynasty was engraved on the back.
Jiang Xia couldn't believe that this was the "Tian Ji Ling" that could kill Zhu Youze. To be honest, he let Zhu Houxi steal "Tian Ji Ling" and never thought that he would succeed. The reason why he did this was nothing more than two purposes. One was to disgust Zhu Youze and let him know that his son had betrayed him. The other was to ask Zhu Youze to send Zhu Houxi back, and then he promoted Zhu Youze's "noble behavior" of "destroying relatives for justice" and gave him the name of refusing his relatives and killing his close relatives.
But what Jiang Xia never expected was that Zhu Houxi succeeded? He actually stole this Tianji Order from the resourceful, scheming Zhu Youze?
Although his intuition told Jiang Xia that the "Tianji Ling" was real, he still couldn't help asking: "Is this thing real?"
"It's absolutely true, it's absolutely true." Zhu Houxi said nervously three times. At this moment, he was still the arrogant prince. Standing in front of Jiang Xia, he was trembling like a frightened quail.
Zhu Houxi pointed to a small round button up and down the Tianji Ling and said, "As long as you press these two buttons, the Tianji Ling will open, which contains the Jinlan Tie of the Reunion between my father and He Qilong."
"Oh?" Jiang Xia immediately pressed the small round button, the token popped up, and a piece of paper inside fell off.
Jiang Xia picked up the piece of paper and saw that it had a signature and finger marks. It was Zhu Youze and He Qilong's golden orchid letter to join forces. Jiang Xia frowned slightly. He should have been happy to see this thing, but for some reason he felt a cloud of doubt in his heart and his mood was still a little heavy.
Zhang Yong, who was sitting next to Jiang Xia, took the golden orchid from his hand excitedly. After scanning his eyes, he immediately said excitedly: "It's it, it's it. Come, immediately take the handwriting of Zhu Youze, the king of Xingxian, and then ask the two masters of handwriting identification to see if the golden orchid is real."
Zhang Yong was still excited there, but Jiang Xia stood up. When he passed by Zhu Houxi, he couldn't help but pat Zhu Houxi on the shoulder and sarcastically said disdainfully: "You have the potential to be a good dog, but you will never be a good son in your life."
After saying this, Jiang Xia walked out of Juwentang.
Zhong Bin is specifically responsible for protecting Jiang Xia, so he followed him out.
Zhu Houxi, who was standing in the Juwen Hall, suddenly cried for some reason, and the more he cried, he became more and more sad. Finally, he even squatted on the ground in a collapse and burst into tears, like a child. In fact, he has not grown up yet, but he is still a 17 or 18-year-old boy.
After Jiang Xia left the Nanzhen Fushiyaya, he got on the carriage directly. Zhong Bin jumped to the carriage and sat in the driver's seat. Jiang Xia said, "Go to Yunge Inn."
Zhong Bin didn't use his voice and made a crisp sound in the air. Then the carriage began to move forward slowly, and the speed became faster and faster.
Soon Zhong Bin sent Jiang Xia to Yunge Inn. After Jiang Xia got off the carriage, Zhong Bin was about to accompany Jiang Xia in. Jiang Xia said to Zhong Bin: "You just wait outside the door and I'll go see him by myself."
"Danger." Zhong Bin said these two words lightly.
Jiang Xia smiled and shook his head and said, "He Qilong, a big tripod, and the four masters of the nine-pointed tripods in the Thirteen Flying Eagles can't do anything to him. If he wants to attack me, it's useless."
"Then I won't go." Zhong Bin was still cold and still cherished his words.
Jiang Xia shook his head and said, "It's impossible not to go, I feel at ease if I don't go."
"I can give you a chance to escape if I fight to death." Zhong Bin suddenly said this and made Jiang Xia's heart beat. He knew that Zhong Bin was serious. If he really followed in, he would definitely protect him and escape if something unexpected happened.
However, Jiang Xia still shook his head, and he smiled and said to Zhong Bin, "Believe me, good brother."
"Who is your brother?" After saying that, Zhong Bin turned around and obviously no longer insisted on following Jiang Xia into the inn. Although he did not recognize Jiang Xia's name as a "good brother", his right hand, which trembled slightly, still betrayed his inner thoughts.
Jiang Xia smiled and walked into the inn. After crossing the threshold, he suddenly stopped and took two steps back and said to Zhong Bin: "You don't admit that you are my brother. Could it be that you still have ideas about me? Give up A Bin, I really only like women."
Murderous aura! A strong murderous aura! Zhong Bin's right hand had the urge to draw the sword again. Unfortunately, Jiang Xia had already run into the inn with a smile.
Jiang Xia went upstairs directly to the door of the room where Zhu Youze lived, where Uncle Fu was guarding, and the door was open.
You can see Zhu Youzhi sitting next to the round table, with delicious food on the table.
Jiang Xia walked into the room, Zhu Youze looked up at Jiang Xia, and smiled and said, "You are here."
"Do you know I'll come?"
Zhu Youze picked up the wine pot and poured two glasses, while only two wine glasses were placed on the round table.
"If you don't come, it proves that I looked down upon you. If you come, it proves that I looked down upon you."
Jiang Xia walked to the round table and sat down, and said lazily: "Okay, speak normally, don't hit those smart moves, so I can't understand it."
Zhu Youze smiled, he picked up the wine glass and said to Jiang Xia, "Drink a drink first and then chat?"
Jiang Xia shook her head, reached out to press Zhu Youze's wine glass and said, "I never drink with people I don't agree with. Let's make it clear first, and then I will decide whether to drink this glass of wine with you."
Zhu Youze smiled and nodded, saying, "Actually, since you have come, it means you have guessed everything. Why bother asking this again?"
"If I don't ask, wouldn't you die in vain?"
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Okay, let me ask three questions that you are most interested in first. What are your conditions?"
"I hope you keep your promise and keep Houxi's life."
"Yes, then what?"
"I will die only, and it will not harm the rest of the Xingxian Palace."
"It's OK, is it still?"
"Don't tell Houhee the truth."
After saying this, Zhu Youze smiled bitterly, "I have been pretentious all my life, but I didn't expect that I couldn't even teach my son well. How sad."
Jiang Xia took a breath and said, "Then it's time for me to continue asking questions. Why do you do this? It's not like what you would do."
Jiang Xia's words mean something. The moment he confirmed that Tian Jiling was real, he already understood that Tian Jiling was stolen by Zhu Youze on purpose by Zhu Houxi, and the purpose of doing this was very clear. Zhu Youze wanted to use his life to replace Zhu Houxi's life from his hands. This was a transaction, but Zhu Youze first gave the bargaining chips and handed over the power of whether to accept the transaction to Jiang Xia.
Zhu Youze smiled and said, "Houxi's child was spoiled by me since he was a child, so he was a little ignorant and domineering. This time you let him out, I just took a look and understood your intention. That child is not a matter of playing politics, and his hands are shaking when he scammered me to drink poisonous wine.
I deliberately let him steal Tian Jiling because I believe in you and myself. I believe you are a person who will revenge, but at the same time I believe you are not a person who likes to harm innocent people. Houxi is young and ignorant and will not die. I believe that as long as I hand over my life to you, you will not make things too difficult for him. I firmly believe in my judgment."
Although he had guessed that the truth was like this, Jiang Xia was still a little shocked when he actually said it from Zhu Youze's mouth. He sighed and said, "If I had known this, why should I have been there?"
Zhu Youze smiled and said, "You don't understand. If you don't do some things, someone will push you to do. This is the current situation and also the fate. Moving forward may be death, but retreating will never survive, so I must move forward."
After hearing this, Jiang Xia understood a little. In addition to those grievances and grievances, Zhu Houzhao also had no descendants to inherit the throne. As the closest relative in the royal bloodline, he was the son of Emperor Xianzong. Even if he did not covet the throne, some ministers would encourage him to covet it, and Zhu Houzhao would be afraid of him and be prepared everywhere.
Jiang Xia smiled, and he picked up the wine glass from the table and said, "Okay, I can drink this glass of wine with you."
"Thank you." Zhu Youze picked up the wine glass and said, "This thank you is not for thanking you for drinking this glass of wine with me, but for letting me understand that feelings are more precious than anything. You can truly think that Zhu Houzhao is a friend, but I almost ruined my son's life with my own hands. Fortunately, I decided to stop after hearing you, so I thank you. If I have the chance, I really want to be a friend with you and try what it feels like."
"I'm sour, I'm not drinking this glass of wine with you because I'm willing to reconcile with you, but I appreciate you as a qualified conspirator and have also successfully become a qualified father. People like you cannot be friends with me. I don't like my friends who are much smarter than me, so I feel very stressed."
After saying that, Jiang Xia and Zhu Youze looked at each other and then drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
After drinking, Zhu Youze smiled and said to Jiang Xia, "Aren't you afraid that I will poison the wine? If I were you, I would choose to exchange wine glasses with you to drink."
"I'm afraid I'll drink with you. Isn't it tired to live for so many days?" Jiang Xia rolled his eyes and said.
A trace of black blood suddenly spilled out of the corner of Zhu Youzhi's mouth. He smiled and said, "Actually, this is also a test. If you ask me to change the wine glass, then what you are drinking now is the highly poisonous wine in my glass. Don't worry, although it is the wine poured out of the same wine pot, the wine pot has a chance. Your wine is not poisonous."
