Wei Xiaobao said: "It's true, it's true. I'm just afraid that Manager Duo won't admit his account. If things come to a head, it would be bad to push him on you. Brother Zhao, why did the emperor let the assassin out?" Zhao Qixian said: "Duo The manager said that the person behind the three assassins should be lured out from these three assassins." Wei Xiaobao said: "That is indeed the case. It's just that the assassins escaped from the palace. If they are not investigated, even the assassins will not believe it. This is the mastermind behind it. It may not be possible to identify the person. Maybe the emperor will kill a few people to make it public so that the assassins will not be suspicious. "
Although Xiang Yan didn't understand why Wei Xiaobao wanted to mention Zhao Qixian, he still cooperated with Wei Xiaobao to scare Zhao Qixian and said: "It's fine if the emperor doesn't hold the assassin accountable for escaping. Once the emperor decides to hold the assassin accountable for escaping, you can tell me when the time comes." Will Mr. Duo take the initiative to stand up and take responsibility? Who will take the blame then?" Wei Xiaobao burst into laughter and said: "How could the emperor not pursue the case?"
Zhao Qixian was frightened, knelt on his knees and shouted: "You two father-in-laws, help me!" He kowtowed repeatedly. Wei Xiaobao said: "Brother Zhao, why do you need to be so polite?" He stretched out his hand to help Zhao Qixian and said: "We will come back tomorrow to let the assassin go. You can think of a safe way today and try to let the assassin go quietly according to the emperor's orders." Don't be implicated." Zhao Qixian was flustered, his hands and feet were weak, and he responded: "Yes, yes!"
Wei Xiaobao and Xiang Yan returned to their residence amidst Zhao Qixian's numerous thanks. Xiang Yan unlocked the door and entered the room, then gently pushed open the inner door. The little princess whispered, sat up, and said softly: "Brother Bao, Brother Yan, have you seen Brother Liu and the others?" Wei Xiaobao smiled and said, "Yes." Fang Yi raised his head from the pillow and asked, "Are they still there?" All right?"
Xiang Yan lit the candles on the table and saw that Fang Yi's eyes were red. She had obviously cried, and said: "Well, it's okay." After talking about the situation of meeting the assassins, he added: "Although he didn't admit it. , but the third person should be Liu Yizhou." The little princess said happily: "Well, that person is Senior Brother Liu." Fang Yi whispered: "Thank you very much! I..." At this point, she stuttered a little.
Xiang Yan said: "There were two other people who were captured together with your Senior Brother Liu, one of whom has a beard..." The little princess said: "That's Senior Uncle Wu." Xiang Yan added: "There is another one with flowers tattooed on his body. , with a tiger head on his chest." The little princess said: "That is the green-haired tiger Ao Biao, who is Master Wu's apprentice." Wei Xiaobao asked: "Then what is Master Wu's name?" The little princess said: "Master Wu's name is Wu Lishen. The nickname is 'Shaking Lion'." Wei Xiaobao said with a smile: "This nickname is good, no matter what people say, he always shakes his head." Xiang Yan also laughed.
Wei Xiaobao said angrily: "This Liu Yizhou is not dead for the time being, but it is not that easy to live. He was captured by the palace guards, and they insisted that he was sent to the palace by the traitor Wu Sangui to assassinate him. Of course, the death penalty is inevitable, so word spread , all the heroes in the world said that he worked as a lackey for Wu Sangui, and after killing his head, his reputation became very bad." Fang Yi raised his upper body and said: "Before we came to the palace, we had already thought about this, but please I have brought down the traitor Wu Sangui and avenged the late emperor and Duke Mu. My own life and posthumous reputation have long been put aside."
Wei Xiaobao raised his thumb and said, "Okay, have some backbone! Miss Fang, we have a big matter that we need to discuss. If I can save your Brother Liu, what will you do?" Fang Yi's eyes flashed, her cheeks flashed. She blushed slightly and said: "You really saved my brother Liu. No matter what difficult and dangerous things you send me to do, Fang Yi will never frown." These words were said decisively and simply.
Wei Xiaobao said: "Let's make an agreement, okay? Xiaoyan and the little princess will bear witness. If I rescue your brother Liu, you will be my wife for the rest of your life, okay?" The little princess said: "Brother Bao, you are Good man. If you can save Senior Brother Liu, everyone will be grateful for your kindness."
Wei Xiaobao shook his head and said: "I am not a good person, I only do business. Liu Yizhou is not a trivial person, he is an assassin of the emperor. If I want to save him, I will take a big risk of my own life, right? As soon as the government finds out, it is When I let Liu Yizhou go, not only did I die, but so did my grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, three brothers, and four sisters, as well as my uncle, aunt, uncle, aunt, uncle, aunt, grandfather, grandmother, cousin, and cousin. My brother, cousin, and cousins all have to be beheaded, right? This is called the whole family beheading. Every bit of my gold, silver, house, pots, pants, and shoes have to be confiscated into the palace, right? ?”
He asked "Is that so?" and the little princess nodded once. Fang Yi said: "Exactly, this matter is too involved, so I can't ask you to do it. Anyway, my... my... senior brother is dead, and I can't live. Let's just accept our fate." As he spoke, tears flowed down. Come down.
Xiang Yan felt quite unhappy when he heard that Wei Xiaobao was blackmailing Fang Yi. Seeing Fang Yi crying, Xiang Yan felt even more painful. At this moment, he suddenly heard the little princess say: "Brother Yan, can you rescue our senior brother Liu?" Xiang Yan was stunned.
Wei Xiaobao's relationship with Kangxi was better than Xiang Yan's relationship with Kangxi. Xiang Yan thought that even if Wei Xiaobao's identity was exposed, Kangxi would probably not do anything to him. But if his identity was exposed, it would be hard to say what Kangxi would do with him. Besides, after escaping from the palace, he would probably still be attached to Wei Xiaobao. Therefore, Xiang Yan never dared to offend Wei Xiaobao. But when I saw Fang Yi crying...
Xiang Yan gritted his teeth and was about to speak when Wei Xiaobao suddenly said loudly: "Okay, okay! After I rescue Liu Yizhou, just marry him and I won't argue with him. Anyway, after you follow me, I still want to be his mistress. Instead of being a cuckold and being a turtle in the future, I want you to be happy and marry this fucking Liu Yizhou." After saying that, he stood up and went out.
