Chapter 100 A Big Game
Seeing that he had put away his smile, he slowly said, "Zixia, is there any news from Lin'er?"
As soon as the words fell, a man's voice rang out from the corner of the room: "Your Excellency, Master Lin has sent a message saying that everything went smoothly. Apart from the jade that can prove his identity, there are no other problems."
Hearing this, the old man said with some worry: "Lian Sheng is a very scheming person. Even if Lin'er has the jade in her hand, he will not easily trust Lin'er. I know this old guy too well..."
"My lord, Master Lin is extremely intelligent and will definitely live up to your expectations."
"I hope so. But how can this Ouyang family be so useless? They didn't even know they were poisoned. That Ouyang Hui is not even as good as his father. He's really wasted..."
No one in the room responded to the old man's words, they just listened quietly.
"Qi Ye is also a loser! If I hadn't been poisoned and had to hide in the dark, how could they be so rampant?"
"He's such a jerk, always causing trouble! He's been in Qinglan Country for decades, yet he's making Qinglan Country stronger day by day. What on earth is Qi Ye thinking about..."
The people in the room heard the old man's words clearly. They had also thought about this question, but they did not dare to speak because of their status.
The old man sensed a subtle fluctuation in the air, and after a moment's thought, he understood. He then spoke out, "There's no need to hide anything. I know you have some opinions about this strange night. Now I'll give you a chance to speak freely. This guardian will forgive you."
Hearing the old man's words, the fluctuations in the air became stronger, and the corners of the old man's mouth under the mask also curled slightly, waiting for these people to speak.
After a few breaths, someone finally lost their patience and appeared, saying, "Sir, I'm not making a complaint, and I haven't told a single lie. Please understand."
Turning around and looking at the man kneeling on one knee on the ground, he restrained the expression in his eyes, nodded slightly and said: "Yeah."
"Sir, I think Qi Ye's heart has grown too big. Even with the help of the Skull Palace, he couldn't contain the Lian family member, and he even allowed the Lian family to grow. This must be a deliberate act of letting them go."
The man kneeling on one knee said this without looking up, but waited for the old man's punishment.
He knew that the rule of the Skeleton Hall was that one could not discuss things in private.
And this time, although the guardian lord specifically ordered them to speak, it was also a guess that they had discussed it privately, and he appeared and told the truth, which was a self-incrimination, confirming that he had discussed the lord Qi Ye.
After hearing what the man said, the old man looked at him coldly without saying a word, but he was actually thinking about what he had just said in his heart.
This was also something he didn't understand.
Why was Qi Ye unable to capture Lian Jing's two wet nurses even with the help of the Skeleton Hall a few years ago?
Why did the three imprisoned kids escape?
And who told those people that Xu Yuzhu was abducted and appeared in Qinglan Country?
The more the old man thought about it, the more he felt that what the man in front of him said was right. The most reasonable explanation for these things was Qi Ye. Only Qi Ye knew and understood all these things best.
But why did he do that?
For his official career
Or for his woman and son?
But if it is for his woman and son, shouldn't he control the Ouyang Mansion?
Now, he actually sent his woman and son to Yushan, into his hands. What on earth was he going to do on this strange night?
The more the old man thought about it, the more he felt that he couldn't understand Qi Ye's thoughts, but a faint worry arose in his heart...
Yes, the old man is worried.
Qi Ye is a member of the Skeleton Hall on the surface, but in fact, he is the son of the king of Qinglan Kingdom. However, because this son killed his mother at birth, the king of Qinglan Kingdom secretly ordered people to send him away.
The Skeleton Hall is actually a force created by the king for Qi Yecai.
The old man, who knew Qi Ye's true identity, looked at the man kneeling on the ground again, sighed and said, "Thirty lashes."
Hearing the phrase "thirty lashes," the man was slightly startled, then immediately bowed and thanked him: "I thank you, sir."
The old man waved his hand, signaling him to leave. He then looked around the room and said in a deep voice, "This guardian knows what you are thinking. However, I just promised to forgive you in this matter. These thirty lashes should not be punished."
"But you must not go unpunished for what you discuss in private. Anyone who discusses in private will be punished with thirty lashes."
As soon as the old man finished speaking, five more people appeared in the room, all kneeling on the ground and bowing, saying, "Thank you, sir."
"Go ahead."
"yes."
The six people responded and left. After an incense stick of time, the six people appeared in the house again and then hid in various places.
As for the old man, he sat on the chair and looked at the closed window. His eyes, which were sharp just now, became a little cloudy. Gradually, his eyelids closed and the old man fell into a deep sleep.
Seeing the old man fall into a deep sleep, the six people who had just been whipped thirty times exchanged glances in the air, and then vigilantly protected the room.
The Qi Ye they were talking about was now talking to someone in the study room with a smug look on his face.
"The Xu family has no official positions now. As long as the Northwest Military Camp collapses, the Wuxi Kingdom will be easily captured."
As soon as Qi Ye finished speaking, several people sitting nearby immediately said in unison: "Second Prince is wise!"
"No, no. As long as you sincerely follow me, once I conquer Wuxi Kingdom, you will be heroes, and I will reward you accordingly."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
"Okay, okay..."
"Your Highness, the Ouyang family has been exiled, but the Xu family is still in the capital. Although the two Xu family members have lost their official positions, the old man in Xuzhou has many subordinates. What do you think?..."
A middle-aged man with a goatee said this and pointed to the paper on the study. His meaning was obvious: he was trying to frame someone.
Qi Ye didn't say anything, but looked at the others.
Receiving Qi Ye's gaze, one of the men with small eyes continued, "That's not right. Lord Wang knows that the old man in Xuzhou has many subordinates, so there is no one to secretly protect his general's mansion."
"Don't forget, Xuzhou is the general who has permission to openly own his own private army. Do you think he will have no one?"
One person stiffened his neck and said, "So what if they have private soldiers? We have plenty of people."
The man looked at him and said, "How many of us can see the light? You are afraid that people can't find us, so we can use other methods."
I listened to everything the man said. Although I felt that his words were a bit encouraging, what he said made sense.
Now they cannot be too ostentatious. It is time to play it safe and not ruin the whole game because of a momentary impulse.
Qi Ye looked at the man with interest and thought that although he didn't look good, he was quite smart.
