Chapter 472 Happy
Because Prince Anbo came here after being entrusted with the title, the plan had to change slightly.
On the one hand, Princess Xinrou ordered Xu Mingdong to capture Yu Yan alive; on the other hand, Du Jingsheng wanted to intercept and kill Prince Anbo's convoy halfway. In this way, if there was a riot in Qianzhou City in the future and Nanzhao's sergeants broke in, Du Jingsheng would There's a perfect excuse: the mob did it.
After all, the mob even killed people from Prince Anbo's palace, so it was not impossible for the mob to attack Qianzhou City.
Unfortunately, this plan had to be terminated due to subsequent changes.
The man who executed the plan had snot and tears all over his face, and his mind was still in a mess. He looked at Yu Yan and said, "My lord, you can't kill me. If I die, the trade here in Nanzhao will definitely stop.
You have countless merchants, large and small, in Qianzhou, and all they rely on is coming to Qianzhou to trade goods, bring them back and sell them for money. If trade stops, you will be stealing the jobs of so many people.
Furthermore, if something happens to me, our Nanzhao Majesty will definitely know that there is a problem here in Qianzhou City, and maybe he will directly send troops to attack Qianzhou City.
You just came to Qianzhou, can you withstand Nanzhao's attack?
This Great Yan Dynasty is not your family's empire anyway, so why do you care about it with me?
Even if I did all the bad things, I didn't really harm the young prince. Even if I followed Princess Xinrou's orders and wanted to catch the prince or attack the princess, but in the end my skills were inferior to others and I failed.
Your Majesty, why don't you let me go, I will be very grateful.
Your Majesty, please listen to my advice. Sooner or later, chaos will break out in Qianzhou City. Why are you wasting your time here? I will give you money, lots of money. It would be great if you take the money and go to Jiangnan."
Xu Mingdong licked his lips and tried to calm down his messy mind, trying to find a way out for himself. At the same time, he was shocked. It turned out that this was Prince Yu. So what was the one he caught before?
Xu Mingdong was always angry that he had captured Prince Yu before but he ran away.
Now it seems that he arrested the wrong person from beginning to end.
Fortunately, the man ran away, otherwise he would have taken the fake one as real and sent it to Princess Xinrou, and Princess Xinrou would have killed him alive.
Xu Mingdong was thinking so hard that his head was hurting. After he finished speaking, his heart was pounding and he looked at Yu Yan anxiously, waiting for his answer.
Yu Yan looked at Xu Mingdong and was silent for a long time. Until he saw beads of sweat on Xu Mingdong's forehead, he suddenly smiled and said, "Want to let you go? It's not impossible, unless you can tell me something that I am more interested in." Come."
Xu Mingdong immediately burst into tears and said, "Your Majesty, I have told you everything I know."
Yu Yan shook his head, "Maybe you still don't know that when you burned down the mansion of the late Prince of Yan Dynasty, that mansion... was my home."
Xu Mingdong's mournful face suddenly froze. He looked at Yu Yan in shock, surprise, and fear. He opened his mouth several times, but did not say a word.
Yu Yan smiled half-heartedly, "You set fire to my house and burned my father, and now you tell me that you and I have no deep hatred? Why do you think I don't believe it so much?"
Want to live? If you want to live, come up with something decent, otherwise..."
Yu Yan clicked his tongue, "The revenge for killing my father."
There was obviously a smile on Yu Yan's face when he spoke, but the voice was so arousing that all the hairs on Xu Mingdong's body stood up. It was even scarier than when he was tortured by a broken piece of porcelain just now.
"You...you...are you serious..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who are you kidding here!" Chang Ming, who had always been a goose, raised his foot and kicked Xu Mingdong, interrupting his meaningless inquiry.
Xu Mingdong swallowed hard.
The voice was desperate.
"But I really don't know anything else."
Yu Yan said: "Then think carefully, when you burned down my prince's house, what consensus did the prince of Nanzhao and our prince reach?"
"I'm just a business person, how could I know this?" Xu Mingdong burst into tears.
The smile on Yu Yan's face remained unchanged, "If you don't know, then go die."
After saying that, he stood up as if he had lost his patience.
Gu Heng, who was standing next to Yu Yan, turned his wrist. Xu Mingdong was so frightened that he immediately said: "I, I may know a little bit, but I don't know much."
Yu Yan had enough time to look at him.
He said: "At that time, our majesty was still the prince, and your majesty was still the prince. In fact, neither of them had the possibility of succeeding to the throne. Although our majesty was still the prince, the late emperor valued the fourth prince more. Needless to say on your side,
Your late emperor valued your prince.
Both our Majesty and your Majesty want to ascend the throne, but their competitors are too strong.
If you want to get rid of your opponent by yourself, it will be easy to reveal your flaws, so I came up with this swap method.
I came to burn down the Prince's Mansion. No matter how much I investigate, I can't find it on your Majesty's head. For the same reason, he also sent people to assassinate our fourth prince.
I don’t know the details, I just know that they exchanged their own people.”
Yu Yan nodded calmly, "Write down what you know in detail for me. Once you've written it, I'm satisfied with it and let you go out. As for what you're going to do after you go out?
You must listen to this king."
Upon hearing this, Xu Mingdong breathed a sigh of relief.
At least one life was saved.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I, I will definitely write it well."
Xu Mingdong was taken away, and Yu Yan had other things to deal with, so he left too. For a while, only Chang Ming and Gu Heng were left in the room.
Chang Ming scratched the back of his head, looked at Gu Heng a little embarrassed and didn't know how to speak, and held it in for a long time, "Um, Gu Xiaoheng."
"Huh? Brother Changming, what's the matter?" Gu Xiaoheng looked at him innocently.
Changming suddenly felt that what he saw and heard before were actually dreams.
Did that really happen?
Chang Ming pinched his thigh and said, "You just used broken porcelain pieces to interrogate Xu Mingdong."
Gu Heng bared his teeth in a smile and arched his eyebrows, "Brother Chang Ming remembered it wrong. It was Brother Chang Ming who interrogated Xu Mingdong. How could it be me? I'm only nine years old. Who would believe it?"
Changming:......
"But, how do you know those names? Just Su Shouwang, Jiang Yuehong and so on?"
Gu Heng blinked, "I don't know, Brother Changming, don't talk nonsense."
Changming:......
Changming wanted to ask again, but Yu Huan's voice came from outside, "Gu Heng, Gu Heng, are you in there or have you finished your work? I'm hungry!"
Yu Huan shouted at the top of his lungs.
Gu Heng smiled at Chang Ming and said: "Brother Chang Ming, the most important thing is to have the result. As long as the prince can accomplish what the prince wants to do, it is fine. As for how he helped the prince to accomplish it, it is not important.
You are the prince’s confidant, and what you said you hope for is not because you want the prince to be happy every day after his achievements come true?
There are some things that, if you know them, you may not be happy."
The nine-year-old patted Chang Ming on the shoulder, turned around and opened the door and went out.
"I want to eat big steamed buns. I see mutton is prepared in the kitchen. How about we eat big steamed buns with mutton tonight?" Yu Huan's voice gradually faded away.
"We're having hot pot tonight. If you want to eat big buns, ask them to steam another pot for you." Gu Heng followed Yu Huan out, "But it's a bumpy ride, and your stomach can't bear it. You can't eat too much. Let's get it done then."
They'll give you two bowls of mutton soup."
The voices of the two children gradually disappeared.
Chang Ming stood there in a daze.
If you know it, you may not be happy anymore?
