Chapter 95 Betting on life

Earlier, when he brought people to escort evidence of grain and embezzlement to Beijing, the Lu family sent people to intercept and kill him at Luohanshan , and he wanted to keep him outside the capital.

Most of the people he brought back to the capital were lost, but he had to go back to the capital with all his strength and brought back a crazy but deadly witness Cai Qi.

Xiao Yan and the aristocratic family had been fighting with Lu Chongyuan for several days. The aristocratic family hated him to the core. How could they sit still when they learned that Cai Qi's madness had improved ?

Today, he deliberately sent a visit to Jiyun Lane. It seemed that Lu Chongyuan took the initiative to lure him to stay in Tang Mansion, so that he could send someone to assassinate Cai Qi, but in fact his real purpose was to inspire him to get news and leave the city to transfer Cai Qi.

It was fake that they sent people to assassinate Cai Qi, and that his life was real. For this reason, they did not hesitate to use the spy buried in the Privy Council as deep as they were hidden .

It's a pity that he was very lucky. Although the first knife was caught off guard, he still hid away. When the second knife was stabbed out, the spy's head had already flew out.

Xiao Yan's eyebrows were full of evil spirits: "That old guy Lu Chongyuan can't hold on anymore. The aristocratic family was afraid that they would be in trouble, so they went to tell Feng Qiuli and asked him to meet Cui Lin."

"I was stabbed, and the Lu family won't deserve his life to me, so I can't think of peace."

Jinyun said in a deep voice: "Yes."

When Song Tangning asked about Madam Qin, she happened to hear the three words "Lu Chongyuan". Seeing Jinyun's reply, she was full of murderous aura, Xiao Yan's face was also full of evil spirits. She couldn't help but whisper: "Yes Brother Lu's injury? "

Jinyun said, "Who else is it not Lu Chongyuan? The supervisor learned that he was coming to see you today last night, and then the Lu family set up a plan. The Lu family used you and a prisoner in the Privy Council as bait and set up several levels. If the Supervisor had not found out that something was wrong and sought out to the Gu family leader in advance, I was afraid that this time it would have been broken outside the city."

Song Tangning felt cold when he heard this : "Don't he want to come to see me?"

Xiao Yan knew she was thinking a little bit , so he comforted her: "It's not that I want to see you. The first thing the Lu family has to do is to take away the things from you. They also want to calm down and take off the empress and son. They lure me out of the capital. , I am preventing me from taking the opportunity to cause trouble, and setting up an assassination is another level."

"Lu Chongyuan thought that what you did before was instructed by me. Whether I died in the suburbs of Beijing or was trapped outside the city and could not come back, it would make you confused and take the opportunity to force you to give in, but he was too much I underestimated Princess Cheng and underestimated you too much."

Lu Chongyuan did not expect that although he was not in Jiyun Lane, Mrs. Fu and the others were there.

He even didn't expect that their little Haitang was no longer the same as before. Even without his protection, she was no longer the little girl who could control the Lu family at will.

Xiao Yan had just learned from the servants in the mansion how Song Tangning made the Lu family's grandchildren speechless. His sword eyes were stained with a smile: "Lu Chongyuan's plan is not done today, you have made great contributions."

Song Tangning was praised but had no sign of joy. Instead, he just bit his lip and shivered with anger.

She thought that she had taught Lu Zhinian like this, and she had already breathed a sigh of relief after she swept the Lu family's face. She thought that it was extremely powerful just a few bad words, but she far underestimated the shamelessness of the Lu family.

On the one hand, she seemed to be entangled with her for the queen and her son, but on the other hand, she actually sent a person to set up an ambush to assassinate her brother.

Song Tangning felt cruel.

It just ruined Lu Zhinian's reputation, how can he repay it !

Seeing that her face turned pale but her eyes were full of gloom, Xiao Yan raised his eyes to Jinyun and asked him to go out first, then waved and said, "Come here."

Song Tangning walked to him.

"What are you thinking?" Xiao Yan asked her.

Song Tangning whispered, "I want the Lu family to pay my life to my brother."

Xiao Yan was caught off guard and was amused by her truth. When the ripples in her eyes spread, a series of low laughter overflowed from her throat, but she did not scold her for not knowing that the sky was high and the earth was thick. She just bent down and picked up something in the couch , handing it at will. Give it to Tang Ning.

Seeing the little girl looking at him in confusion, he raised the thing in his hand: "Look."

Song Tangning took it, opened it and took a look at the things written inside, then closed it instantly, and looked up suddenly.

"Brother ..."

The things in my hand are particularly hot. Even if I only looked at a few lines or two, I still knew what this thing was about.

She raised her eyes and met Xiao Yan's casual gaze, feeling a sense of oppression, and couldn't help but whisper: "Brother, have you been trying to move the aristocratic family long ago?"

"It's not that I want to move, it's Your Majesty."

Xiao Yan seemed to be indifferent to the thing that made Song Tangning extremely nervous. He just clicked on the table and signaled her to spread it out.

After the roll of things was unfolded on the small table, Xiao Yan said to Song Tangning: "The aristocratic family has been entrenched in the Wei Dynasty for many years, better than the imperial power, and is deeply rooted. It has not been a day or two for His Majesty to eradicate it, but they have been with the former dynasty and the rear harem. They are all too involved and it will take only one night to completely clear things."

"I have been enemies of Lu Chongyuan for several years, and I have been innumerable tits in the court, but there are very few people who can make him take the risk and directly send me assassination . If it weren't for the situation that was not good for the aristocratic family and caused him to have a sudden crisis, he wouldn't have done it This is the worst. "

Song Tangning lowered his eyes and looked at the things on the table, looking at the family relationship outlined on it, she bit her lip and asked, "Is it because of the previous grains and the incident that I caused?"

Xiao Yan nodded and looked at the voice softly: "You are the one who has disrupted the overall situation of the Lu family, so don't blame yourself. If it weren't for you, Lu Chongyuan, wouldn't be distracted."

Song Tangning was filled with depression and anger and was instantly distracted by this sentence. She looked at the person beside her who comforted her gently. Seeing that his lips were pale but still caring about her mood, she couldn't help but lower her eyes and muttered : "I'm not a child." , Brother, why did he come to comfort me when he was injured? "

Xiao Yan laughed and said, "It's not all about comforting you. In my position, everyone is punished."

"Whether I and Lu Chongyuan and others were betting on each other's lives. If they lost, they all had their families buried with them. If I lost, I would naturally have to pay my life."

"I just shed some blood today, don't be sad, you should be glad you are."

When Song Tangning heard him talk about the affairs and life and death in the court, he couldn't help but feel nervous. This was the first time that he had such a clear understanding of the cruelty of the power struggle in the court .

All the families are destroyed at any time, and their lives are at stake. If you make a mistake, you will be in a disaster.

My brother can't retreat, if he retreats, he will die.

After moving back to Jiyun Lane, Song Tangning and Princess Cheng originally had their own residences, but because of what happened today, Song Tangning went to Princess Cheng's place.

Seeing her in a daze, she changed her blood-stained dress, washed silently with her hair loose, and waited until she drooped her eyes and nestled in the bed without saying a word.

Princess Cheng just took a bowl of red dates and snow ear soup to the bed: "I heard from Madam Jiang that you didn't use much tonight. Come and drink some of the snow ear soup that has just been stewed in the kitchen."
