Chapter 483 Everyone Left
Xu Yan remained expressionless and said, "General, you are being too modest. I will speak frankly. This is also what my father, Duke Xu, has said. If the Luo family agrees to help the eldest prince ascend the throne, my family will help them avenge their loss."
"I know the Luo family has this ability, but will they allow themselves to be slaughtered? If the Third Prince ascends to that position, I'm afraid the Luo family will be even worse off than it is now!"
Xu Yan felt that he was telling the truth and his attitude was very sincere, and he thought there was a great possibility that the other party would agree.
After all, only the new emperor has the power to execute a prince.
Luo Tingshan smiled faintly: "Don't worry about this matter, Duke Xu."
Xu Yan frowned, stood up and said, "General Luo, please give it a few more days to think about it. It's already late at night, so I won't bother you for now. If you have any questions, please send someone to the post station to find me!"
After saying that, he left.
…
The next day, Dou Duoduo and Li Yunfei got up early. After finishing morning training with a group of people, they went to the lady's yard.
When they learned about the mission, Li Yunfei immediately agreed: "I was worried that I wouldn't have the chance to seek revenge on the Liang family. Madam, don't worry, I will definitely bring your family back safely."
Dou Duoduo was also very confident: "I have many good friends in the capital, so there will definitely be no problem with this!"
Zhu Mingqing directly took out ten silver notes, each worth one thousand taels.
"This is the cost of this trip. No matter who you find, as long as you can bring everyone back safely, everyone will get a share of the money!"
Dou Duoduo touched his head: "Madam, I also want to bring Luo Tian with me, is that okay?"
That kid is agile and has a sense of crisis that ordinary people can hardly realize. The last time the two of them were on a mission, if Luo Tian hadn't insisted on taking him away from his previous hiding place, he would have been caught red-handed.
Zhu Mingqing will certainly respond.
They all
…
For the next seven days, Dai Kun read in his room every day, Xu Yan was waiting for the Luo family to send someone over, and Cao Dehai would visit the Luo family every day in order to pass on the imperial edict.
But unfortunately, there was no one there every time.
Cao Dehai also came to his senses. The Luo family just wanted to disobey the imperial order!
"Master Dai!"
That day, Dai Kun was studying the recent changes in Guancheng in his room. He heard Cao Dehai's voice at the door and frowned slightly.
"Come in!"
Cao Dehai looked at Master Dai, who remained calm and composed, and felt a trace of irritation in his heart: "Master Dai, the Luo family has been avoiding us for a long time, and the emperor's order cannot be conveyed. Master, you have nothing to do. Aren't you afraid of being punished when you return to the capital?"
Dai Kun had been prepared since he agreed to come. If he was Luo Tingshan, how could he return to Beijing again? Could he be killed again?
He put down the paper in his hand and said slowly, "Eunuch Cao is unparalleled in wisdom and courage, but he has been rejected repeatedly. How can I come up with any brilliant ideas? This matter is beyond our ability to handle. It is better to report it to His Majesty."
Cao Dehai's first reaction was to refuse. If his godfather knew that he had not done a good job, a beating and scolding would be the least of his worries.
But think about it again, if he really just waited in vain, the emperor would definitely blame him, and there would be no point in caring about his own miserable life.
Cao Dehai suddenly felt panicked.
"Master Dai, what are you waiting for? Write the letter quickly."
Dai Kun smiled without saying anything. He wrote a letter?
What a joke.
Even if the emperor asked him to lead the team, he was not the one who announced the decree, so he would not take the limelight.
Seeing this, Cao Dehai immediately understood.
His face turned serious and he reminded, "Master Dai, you are the one who..."
"Eunuch Cao!" Dai Kun slowly stood up and stepped forward, saying, "Your godfather is a great favorite of His Majesty. If I were to write the letter, there would be no turning back. But if you were to write it, things would be different. You could use the excuse of a regular correspondence with your godfather to tell Cao Sipei about this. That way, Chief Eunuch Cao might even let His Majesty know."
Hearing this, Cao Dehai's eyes lit up.
But why should he help Dai Kun?
Just as he was thinking this, a silver note was stuffed into his hand.
Looking down at the numbers above, Cao Dehai smiled.
"Master Dai is a man of wisdom, courage, and resourcefulness. I will do it right away so that I can understand the matter and return to the capital as soon as possible!"
Watching his back walking away, Dai Kun put his hands behind his back and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
In any case, the punishment upon returning to Beijing is definitely unavoidable.
I just hope there will be less trouble at this time!
When Luo Tingshan heard that Cao Dehai had sent someone back to Beijing, he had no intention of sending anyone to intercept him, but he secretly sent someone to follow him.
In the days that followed, he continued to take medicine every day and concentrated on practicing walking.
Zhu Mingqing simply didn't have anything to do, so he just watched from the side.
It took Luo Tingshan a quarter of an hour to walk across the yard, which was about ten meters wide.
“Pah.”
Applause was heard, and Zhu Mingqing gave a thumbs up, "That's progress!"
Luo Tingshan smiled.
Then continue.
The numbness and pain from his legs stimulated his brain nerves little by little. Whenever he wanted to stop and rest, infinite power would surge in his heart.
Ten days passed slowly like this.
Ten days is enough for a round trip to the capital.
Cao Dehai opened the letter from his godfather, his face lit up with joy, and he immediately ran to find Dai Kun.
"Master Dai, pack up now, we can go back to Beijing!"
Dai Kun was stunned for a moment, then replied with an "OK".
When Xu Yan received the news, he couldn't help but visit the Luo family again. Even though he didn't like being an official, he still understood the principle of "prosperity and adversity are shared by all."
As long as the Xuguo Mansion remains standing, he can live a prosperous life.
"Mr. Xu, I'm sorry, the head of the family and his wife are not here, and the young master and his mistress are out too."
Xu Yan returned empty-handed once again and sat in the carriage back to the post station with a bad look on his face.
Looking at the people coming and going outside the car window, it was obviously more lively than the last time he came to Guancheng.
When passing by Huaxiang Tower, I heard from my subordinates that when Luo Tingshan's identity was first exposed, there was indeed a period of depression, but now, it has obviously returned to its previous bustle.
He has been busy these days, bringing people to collect every bit of information about the changes in the city. Although this prefect Wang does have some means, if he really wants to say, the key role is played by the wealthy Ming family.
"Turn around and go to Ming Mansion!"
He suddenly ordered.
Xu Yan thought that as long as he revealed his identity, he would be treated with courtesy by the Ming family, but it was obvious that they didn't even let him in.
When asked, the owner was not at home.
Xu Yan was not an unreasonable person. He left a letter and asked her to give it to Madam Ming before returning to the post station.
"Mr. Xu, you're finally back!" Cao Dehai said sarcastically, "You've been out every day these past few days. Have you found anything?"
Xu Yan was too lazy to pay attention to this eunuch Cao who was always looking for trouble. He nodded slightly to Dai Kun and went back to his room to pack his luggage.
Cao Dehai stomped his feet in anger. Since he recognized him as his godfather, he had never been slapped in the face like this.
"Let's go!"
A quarter of an hour later, Xu Yan came out.
The group finally left the city and boarded the carriage back to Beijing.
Dai Kun suddenly recalled the scene where the Luo family met with him alone to discuss cooperation.
Shake your head.
Never mind, I rejected them all. I hope I won’t regret it.
