"What brilliant plan?"
Yang Niannian's pretty face was full of curiosity, and she couldn't help but ask.
After all, she felt that this matter was caused by her, and if Xiao Yu had a brilliant plan to resolve it, she wouldn't feel guilty... Guilt was secondary; the most important thing was that her brother Xiao Yu was safe and sound.
Shen Youyu also wanted to ask, but when she heard Yang Niannian speak first, she looked at Xiao Yu curiously.
The women of the Xiao family were also waiting for Xiao Yu's answer.
"Heavenly secrets must not be revealed."
Xiao Yu smiled mysteriously and said, "Anyway, you don't need to worry. I've already gained intelligence... I can handle this."
Everyone has seen what Xiao Yu has done during this period.
Whether it was going to the Chu family to ask for betrothal gifts and the Dragon Gall Spear, or his poetic talent, or his invention of chicken essence and MSG, Xiao Yu performed exceptionally well. Where was his former silly and foolish self?
Moreover, through daily interactions, everyone could sense that Xiao Yu was much smarter than the average person.
"Yes, my Shiro has become intelligent!"
Even though she already knew, hearing Xiao Yu say it himself still moved Madam Xiao to tears. She said, "If your father and brothers could see you like this, they would be so happy..."
As she spoke, she wiped away her tears with a handkerchief.
The women of the Xiao family were silent for a few seconds, and some of them were even on the verge of tears.
"They will be happy."
Xiao Yu said loudly, "Father and brother, they definitely want to see our family happy and harmonious, just like we are now!"
"right."
"We need to be happy so they can feel at ease."
"With Shilang in the Xiao family, things will only get better and better!"
"We all need to be well."
...
After calming his mother and the women of the Xiao family, Xiao Yu went to a secret underground room.
Yes, it's an underground secret chamber... Prince Xiao's mansion doesn't have a prison.
Liu Quan was locked in a secret room, his hands were chained and raised high.
"snort!"
Upon seeing Xiao Yu enter, Liu Quan snorted coldly and turned his head away, refusing to look at Xiao Yu.
"Tsk tsk."
Xiao Yu smiled meaningfully and said, "I really envy you. You're still so optimistic even after falling into my hands!"
"What do you mean?"
Liu Quan frowned, realizing what Xiao Yu was about to do to him.
"Of course, it's about researching some torture methods on you."
Xiao Yu arrived with a knife. After speaking, he drew the knife from its sheath and said, "Liu Quan, right? I wonder if you know what a 'human pig' is?"
"Human pig?"
Liu Quan was stunned for a moment, clearly having never heard of this term before.
But from Xiao Yu's meaningful expression, he also understood that this was not a good word.
"Human pigs are people whose limbs have all been cut off... and then their nose, ears, and eyes are gouged out."
As he spoke, Xiao Yu placed the blade on different parts of Liu Quan's body and said, "A person without limbs, without facial features, just a bare body, is called a human pig?"
The cold blade touched Liu Quan's body, causing him to tremble uncontrollably as if he had been electrocuted.
"I don't want to become a human pig! I don't want to become a human pig!"
Liu Quan was so frightened that his voice changed, and he was covered in cold sweat. A huge fear overwhelmed him, and he almost fainted.
Do you have a choice?
Xiao Yu asked with a cold smile.
"I...I...I..."
Liu Quan's mouth trembled uncontrollably, his teeth chattering, and he could barely speak: "My brother is the Duke of Liu, you, you dare?! He will come to the Xiao Prince's mansion to save me... Xiao Yu, you'd better not, don't touch me!"
Did he come to rescue you?
After laughing a few times, Xiao Yu said, "You killed Li Lei and Zhang Xin, so you should have been sentenced to death. Why would he dare to come to the Xiao Prince's Mansion to save you? If he dares to come, I can prove that he was the one who instigated this! Once the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked. Do you think he would come to save you?"
The phrase "when the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked" does not exist in this world.
But when Liu Quan heard these six words, he instantly understood what Xiao Yu meant... He was no longer of any use to Duke Liu, would he really come to save him?
Although he was a member of the Liu family, kinship was actually quite distant for such important figures.
Just like when Liu Yunfei was killed in the street by Xiao Yu, Liu Quan heard the news and wept bitterly, trembling with rage!
But Duke Liu simply said, "I will kill that brat Xiao Yu later to avenge Yunfei."
At that time, Duke Liu's attitude was very indifferent. The only emotion in his tone was not to avenge Liu Yunfei, but because Xiao Yu was opposing him!
Now that Liu Quan is trapped in Xiao Wang's mansion, will Duke Liu come to rescue him?
Won't!
Liu Quan understood his younger brother very well; he had always treated him and Yunfei as tools... or dogs!
"When the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked!"
Liu Quan silently murmured these six words, his heart filled with immense sorrow.
"If I turn you into a human pig, Duke Liu will thank me instead, don't you think?"
Xiao Yu placed the knife on Liu Quan's nose and said, "Let's start with your nose. I'll cut off your nose, then your ears, then your limbs, and finally gouge out your eyes... After turning you into a human pig, no one will dare to cause trouble at Xiao Wang's mansion again!"
The cold blade brushed against Liu Quan's nose.
The blade sliced through his skin, the pain and overwhelming fear causing Liu Quan to scream, "No, no, no! I'll do whatever you want! Please, don't turn me into a human pig! I know I was wrong, I was wrong! Please... I'll do whatever you want!"
Liu Quan kept begging for mercy, unaware that he had wet himself in fear, his pants were soaked.
"Whose idea was it to kill Li Lei and Zhang Xin and then frame me?" Xiao Yu asked.
After saying that, he added, "To be honest."
Xiao Yu wanted to deal with Duke Liu, but now he needed to interrogate Liu Quan, not induce him to say what he wanted to hear.
"It was my idea."
Liu Quan swallowed hard and said in a trembling voice, "After Yunfei was killed, I have been looking for a way to deal with you... Liu Yan did the same. After he learned about this, he discussed with Minister Sun that he would impeach you in front of His Majesty at the morning court tomorrow!"
"Minister Sun".
Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes, and an image of a middle-aged official with a goatee appeared in his mind.
Xiao Yu had met Minister Sun once before... but only once, and they had no interaction whatsoever.
“Minister Sun is also one of the owners behind Baoyue Tower,” Liu Quan explained.
I guessed it.
Xiao Yu nodded and said, "This matter was not planned by Duke Liu, and I will not falsely accuse him."
Then, Xiao Yu changed the subject and said with a smile, "No matter what, you are Liu Yan's older brother. You should know very well what bad things Liu Yan has done. Give me a few useful pieces of evidence, and I'll let you go!"
