select.
"Value?" Xuedie laughed out loud. It was such an appropriate adjective.
You know, even when he accidentally found out that his third brother was not an ordinary person, he was shocked.
Who would have thought that the prince who was least valued by the emperor, the prince who could even bully a eunuch or a palace maid, was actually the master behind the world's largest intelligence organization, and even controlled the economic lifeline of Jiangnan.
"Then, what about Brother Xu? What value does he have to the Third Prince?" After laughing, Xuedie asked Xu Tianze directly.
His question was like a sharp knife, directly cutting through the seemingly flawless surface, revealing the ugly inside, forcing Xu Tianze to face it.
"Maybe he has the same opinion as you." Xu Tianze raised his head, and his empty and dead eyes reflected Xuedie's shadow.
Probably, whether it is Long Musi or Xue Die, his role is only one, that is to disrupt the turmoil in Shangjing City and let them benefit from it.
To him, he came for revenge, but to Longmusi and Xuedie, he was just a tool for them to gain benefits and a stepping stone for their advancement.
"I'm glad that you know it, Brother Xu." When Xuedie heard Xu Tianze's words, the smile on her face was a little reluctant, but she quickly calmed down and spoke indifferently.
"Three days from now at the hour of Chou, the prison will change shifts. Someone will be sent to take Brother Xu in then." After saying that, Xuedie stood up and left, as if the person who was sitting here and joking just now was not him.
"Silly disciple." Seeing this, Old Qi shook his head helplessly. He was usually a very smart person, but he was confused when it came to feelings.
Elder Qi sighed and stood up to leave, giving his disciple some quiet time. Even a sixty-year-old man like him couldn't fathom emotions, let alone himself, who was already at the age of emotional excitement.
Xu Tianze didn't think there was anything wrong. Seeing that everyone else had gone out, he leaned against the windowsill with his tea, looking at the bustling street.
To be more precise, it is to look at a corner of the busy street, where a few children are laughing and playing. They are at the most carefree age, and the smiles on their faces are particularly bright.
Once upon a time, he was also so carefree, dragging Jiang Xue and Song Yu to run around every day, and then discussing going to someone's house for a meal.
In the end, his father and brother came to his house and took him to send Song Yu and Jiang Xue back. At that time, he was the last one to arrive home, and he could never escape a meal of stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots.
He hid behind his mother and eldest brother, saying that his second brother was in good health and could handle a beating, so if his father was really angry, he could just beat his second brother.
Every time this happened, the second brother would be unhappy and want to beat him, and then the mother and eldest brother would stop them one by one. The second brother would shout and cry that he was biased, and the father would be so annoyed by the noise that he would kick them out together.
He wouldn't have to be beaten, and afterward he cooked a table full of delicious food for his second brother, who then forgave him.
Xu Tianze had a smile on his face, his thoughts drifting away, mumbling incoherently: "It was better when I was young, there weren't so many monsters to deal with."
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Xu Tianze put on a cloak with the huge hood covering his face, and followed Xue Die and Xue Wei, who were dressed in the same way, into the prison.
The prison was deep and dark, with screams of prisoners being interrogated coming from time to time, and the occasional smell of blood adding a sense of oppression to the prison.
Xu Tianze followed Xuedie with his head down. Suddenly, Xuedie stopped and pulled Xu Tianze to stop. Just as Xu Tianze was about to ask something, he heard the sound of conversation coming from the front.
"Jiang Xue, Minister Jiang has been dismissed from his post and confined to the mansion. Once the Dali Temple finishes its investigation, the Jiang family will be exterminated." Song Yu stood in front of Jiang Xue with cold eyes, and his words were without a trace of emotion.
At this time, Jiang Xue was already disheveled. When she was first arrested, the jailer was concerned about her identity and did not make things difficult for her.
But recently she has suffered more and more hardships, such as the loss of her food, the sudden appearance of rats, being driven from a single cage into a multi-person cage and beaten, and then being taken back to a single cage.
If she had not been the wife of the Crown Prince of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, she would have long since become a plaything of the jailers and prisoners. This series of changes had already hinted at something for her.
She could naturally guess that the Jiang family might have fallen. Song Yu came here specifically to tell her the news just to see regret on her face.
But what did she have to regret? If she had to say there was something, it was that she didn't let Song Yu see with her own eyes how Xu Tianze was raped, otherwise she would still be able to see the good show.
"If you want to say these things, please leave. After all, I don't care about these things at all." Jiang Xue looked at her former husband sarcastically and raised her hand to comb her messy hair.
"Oh? Really?" Song Yu sneered and instructed Dai Nian, "Bring that little bitch up here."
"Song Yu, what do you want to do?" Jiang Xue's eyes instantly became sharp when she heard Song Yu's words.
"Of course it depends on whether you still care about the life of this maid." Song Yu had an evil smile on his face. He grabbed the bamboo that Dai Nian brought in and threw it directly to the ground.
Cuizhu has always been by Jiang Xue's side since she was a child. It is impossible to say that Jiang Xue really doesn't care about this maid.
After all, he had always seen how good Jiang Xue was to this maid. If he didn't know that Cuizhu was loyal, he wouldn't be able to get anything out of her. He even wanted to bring her up and torture her first.
"Miss." Cuizhu was thrown to the ground and crawled directly to Jiang Xue's side. She grabbed Jiang Xue and looked her left and right. "Miss, are you injured anywhere? Let Cuizhu take a look."
Jiang Xue also had tears in her eyes and shook her head: "Cuizhu, it is the young lady who is sorry for you and made you suffer with me."
Cuizhu has been with her since she was five years old. She has been loyal to her all these years, enduring the hard times and not even letting this silly girl enjoy the good times with her for a few more days before she ended up in this situation.
"Miss, Cuizhu is not miserable. It is Cuizhu's honor to follow you." Cuizhu wiped Jiang Xue's tears carelessly and burst into tears herself.
"What a deep affection between master and servant, Jiang Xue." When Song Yu saw the look on Jiang Xue and Cui Zhu's face, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He raised his eyebrows and ridiculed them directly.
