The emperor knew about Lin Yehen, Mr. Xin also knew about Lin Yehen, and it was certainly impossible for Ning Weimo not to know.
So the emperor gave Ning Weimo such an errand. Ning Weimo was beating a drum in his heart from the moment he left the palace.
Things have reached this point. Your Majesty is still testing Lin Ye?
If not, then what is the purpose of His Majesty asking him to ask Lin Ye these words?
But no matter why, he had to go on this trip. Ning Weimo was really afraid of the answer given by the general. In the end, he did not dare to repeat the exact words to His Majesty.
At this time, Mr. Xin, who was in the small county town, found a comfortable place to sit down.
After all, when Lin Ye hit Chen Weiwei just now, he made such a big pit. After the sand and rocks flew, there was really no clean place in the yard.
"What are you thinking about now?"
Mr. Xin asked Chen Weiwei.
Chen struggled slightly to get up and found a place to sit down. It could be seen that the frustration and loss in his eyes were not fake.
"The disciple is wondering why Zhentian is so unfair to people."
Chen Weiwei lowered his head and muttered to himself: "This disciple is also a diligent person. He believes that no matter what he does, his efforts will not be inferior to Lin Ye's. But????????????? ??Now it seems that all these efforts are meaningless."
Mr. Xin said: "All your efforts are not meaningless. If you didn't have efforts far beyond ordinary people, how could you have lost to Lin Ye?"
Chen Weiwei was startled when he heard this and looked at Mr. Xin, the loss and frustration in his eyes seemed to be heavier.
What Mr. Xin means is that if you didn’t work hard enough, you wouldn’t even have the strength to lose to him.
Or...if you hadn't worked hard enough, how could you have reached the height of just losing to Lin Ye?
Mr. Xin said: "There is no shame in losing to Lin Ye."
This is the truth.
But at this time, Chen Weiwei probably couldn't listen to this truth.
Of course Mr. Xin could also see that Chen Weiwei's frustration, loss, and even some despair were actually largely caused by Chen Weiwei's performance.
When a person is not strong enough to be unruly, it is best to learn to be weaker in adversity.
When a person is always in adversity, it probably only means one problem...at least this person is not strong enough.
The most powerful person has no adversity.
"Why does Your Majesty insist on my death?"
Chen Weiwei asked Mr. Xin.
Mr. Xin said: "Because you are not important."
This sentence hit Chen Weiwei again, even harder than the sentence just now that said it's not shameful for you to lose to Lin Ye.
He thought for a while, but couldn't argue, because Mr. Xin's words were still right.
If he was important enough, even the emperor would not get rid of him casually.
"Your Majesty wants to test something, either me or Lin Ye, and you are just the tool."
Mr. Xin looked at Chen Weiwei: "However, the good news is that you can at least become His Majesty's tool to test others."
Chen gave a wry smile.
Mr. Xin stood up and said, "Just do what you have to do and do what I tell you. As for the rest, I will take care of it."
Chen Weiwei looked worried and asked: "But it is Your Majesty who wants to kill me. How can a real person save me?"
Mr. Xin had already walked a few steps, but when he heard these words, he turned around, looked at Chen Weiwei and said: "I have said before, the reason why His Majesty wants you to die is just because you are not important. Because you are not important, you will die or not, Your Majesty." He doesn’t care that much, His Majesty doesn’t care about a tool.”
Chen Weiwei took a deep breath and told himself that it didn't matter, all this humiliation would be paid back one by one in the future.
He may not have time to think about it at this time, why would His Majesty arrange a humiliation for him, who is barely a tool?
Even if he had time, he probably wouldn't think of such a deep-seated issue.
Fortunately, he is now a person who can regulate his emotions, ever since he realized that... I like to be used by others.
Being used by people with higher and higher status is enough to prove that his status is also getting higher and higher.
He relied on this kind of self-comfort to reach this height step by step in a difficult and chaotic environment like Dayu.
He didn't have that awareness either. Like Lin Ye, he understood early on that nothing the emperor did could have only one purpose.
When it comes to playing with power, no one in the world can match the emperor. When it comes to playing with people's hearts, no one in the world can match him.
Mr. Xin left, leaving Chen Weiwei who looked self-pitying.
Mr. Xin left because he knew he had to stop him on this trip, but not for Chen Weiwei.
At this time, Chen Weiwei was still thinking that fortunately, he had received enough attention from Mr. Xin, otherwise why would Mr. Xin make this trip himself.
If he knew that Mr. Xin came here to help Lin Ye instead of saving him, with Chen Weiwei's temperament, his hatred would be even stronger.
Lin Ye originally thought that if the Wang family wanted to take revenge, they would probably take advantage of the opportunity when he left the Nushan camp to kill his aunt and Zina.
But after he returned to Nushan Camp, he knew that his estimate of Wang Luoshen was still a bit low.
Wang Luoshen was not so superficial, and he was tolerant enough. The pain of losing his son did not make him lose his mind.
Xie Yunxi saw Lin Ye coming back and walked a few steps to greet him.
She might not have even noticed that when she saw Lin Ye again after that night, even her eyes were different from before.
In the past, she always had to think of herself as an aunt, but after that night, she no longer looked like an elder in the way she walked quickly towards Lin Ye.
"Are you okay?"
Xie Yunxi asked softly.
Lin Ye nodded: "It's okay."
Xie Yunxi first looked at Lin Ye carefully and made sure that there was nothing wrong with Lin Ye, and then asked Lin Ye: "You didn't kill him?"
Lin Ye said: "I can't kill him... God knows that both His Majesty and Mr. Xin want to use Chen Weiwei to make a big show. How can I really kill him."
A person as smart as Xie Yunxi couldn't imagine what a mere Chen Weiwei could do.
But since it exists, and exists at this time, it must make sense.
Lin Ye took out a piece of folded paper from his arms and handed it to Pang Panghai: "Go to the forest behind the camp and wait in person. Monk Hua will come back to get this letter."
Pang Panghai responded, took the piece of paper and ran out in large strides.
Xie Yunxi asked: "Did you find something by the way?"
Lin Ye said: "I killed a man named Xue Zhun, who was the murderer of Tianshuiya. I have to send someone to send the news to Geling and check for a person who knows how to use poison."
He looked at Xie Yunxi and said, "I think your Majesty is still creating opportunities for his opponents."
Xie Yunxi asked: "His opponent?"
Lin Ye shook his head: "My opponent."
Three days later, Geling City.
In the Shiqiao Villa outside the city, Wang Luoshen was sitting between two earth tombs, lost in thought.
The heads of his two sons were buried in the backyard of Stone Bridge Villa. The place was big enough, the scenery was good enough, and most importantly, it was home.
The old man sitting between these two new graves looked so desolate and helpless at this moment.
Xu Xinshu walked over very softly, and said in a very soft voice when he got closer: "Xue Zhun is gone, and everyone who arranged the place is gone."
Wang Luoshen nodded: "I can think of it."
He looked at Xu Xinshu: "Before Gu Xiujin left Geling, someone must have reported the news of Chen Weiwei's departure from the city to Lin Ye."
Xu Xinshu said with a guilty look on her face: "I didn't do things well, and I still haven't found out how many people Lin Ye planted in Geling City when he fell to the ground."
Wang Luoshen said: "This is enough to show that Lin Ye's methods are much better than we expected. It is not unreasonable that we have always been at a disadvantage."
He stretched out his hand, and Xu Xinshu quickly helped him stand up.
Wang Luoshen said as he walked: "The reason you didn't find out is because you always keep an eye on the people coming in and out of Geling. I didn't leave home, but I still found some."
"Lin Ye was able to get to the place so quickly because he got the news faster and more accurately."
"I used a long-dead Xue Zhun to test out things, which is a big gain."
He stopped, looked at Xu Xinshu and asked, "Did you notice anything on the day when Lin Ye's personal soldier, the captain, beat Guan Yuanqing, the minister of the Ministry of War, in public?"
???????????????
"Back to my father-in-law, I... really didn't notice anything."
Wang Luoshen pointed not far away, and Xu Xinshu followed his finger and looked over, seeing a broken bamboo basket on the ground.
"A broken garbage basket?"
"Yeah, a broken trash basket."
Wang Luoshen asked: "Can you see the difference in this broken garbage basket?"
Xu Xinshu walked over quickly, leaned over and took a look. After a while, he came to his senses and pointed at the garbage basket and said, "Dafu Zao, Lin Ye has a business in Yunzhou City. Although according to the Yamen's registration, it has nothing to do with him, but In fact, it is the power he uses to control the world of Yunzhou, and he has a very tacky name called Dafu Dog."
Wang Luoshen nodded with satisfaction: "Although you are not particularly smart, you are better than you because of your diligence."
Xu Xinshu said: "This means that Lin Ye's Jianghu secret sentry has already laid out Ge Ling a long time ago?"
Wang Luoshen nodded again: "If it hadn't been for that farce, who would have noticed an inconspicuous bamboo basket on the roadside?"
He looked at Xu Xinshu and said: "I asked someone to check it out. The so-called Dafu Dog changed his name in Geling City and was called Dafu Zao. He got the street cleaning business from the Geling Mansion Yamen. Logically speaking, Just make a little hard money.”
Xu Xinshu said: "But in fact, these people who clean the streets, with this status, can legitimately go around the streets to find out information, and no one will suspect them."
Wang Luoshen asked: "Then, how to investigate?"
Xu Xinshu said: "This great blessing comes from outside. It is impossible to get this business casually from the Geling Mansion Yamen, even if it is just a hard-earned business."
Wang Luoshen hummed and said, "Let's go check it out. It seems that there are already people in the Geling Mansion Yamen who have been on Lin Ye's side."
He took a breath and said, "Lin Ye is indeed smart enough. He does not win over the powerful court officials first, but starts with the inconspicuous Geling Mansion Yamen. He is very clever."
Xu Xinshu said: "As long as it is found out that someone in the Geling Mansion Yamen was bribed by Lin Ye and took Lin Ye's benefits, so he gave the business to Lin Ye's Chamber of Commerce, then Lin Ye, the position of Jingzhou General, will be It will waver.”
Wang Luoshen said: "The emperor can abdicate and Xin Yanque can ascend the throne, but Lin Ye will never be able to secure his position as the general of Jingzhou. I can even tolerate Ning Weimo, but I can't tolerate Lin Ye holding great power. "
Xu Xinshu leaned over and said, "I'm going to check now. This kind of thing is not difficult to check."
Wang Luoshen said: "Go, we don't have much time. Even if we have enough time, we have to give Lin'er and Shan'er an explanation as soon as possible."
