Chapter 30 He Has No Vision
With the comfort of his baby brother, Dou Jinyuan gradually stopped crying.
But the guilt will never go away.
"Daddy is fine."
Not wanting to make his baby brother worry, Dou Jinyuan quickly calmed down.
He began to advise his dear, "But Daddy still thinks Nie Yao is unreliable. He's arrogant and unruly. He also doesn't have an eye for beauty. Look at the vegetables he grows at home. Do you want to grow vegetables with him in the future?"
What's wrong with growing vegetables?
Du Sui Lan felt that his father was too prejudiced against Brother Yao.
He hummed twice, "As long as I can be with Brother Yao, I'm willing to grow vegetables!"
Dou Jinyuan almost burst.
He finally understood the suffering of his subordinates whose children, after reading too many storybooks, wanted to elope with poor scholars.
"...Alan, the emperor has countless concubines. You are also an emperor now, so there is no need to be stubborn about Nie Yao alone. But let him go first, and select thousands of handsome men to enter the palace and take a look?"
He suggested that his dear brother expand his harem.
Du Suilan was a little unhappy when he heard this, "Daddy! How could you do this? Dad only taught me to love Brother Yao wholeheartedly, but he never taught me to be fickle!"
"Daddy, do you really love me and Daddy? Why don't you like Brother Yao, who Daddy and I both like?"
How serious is this.
Dou Jinyuan realized that his beloved brother would not turn back until he hit the wall, so he had no choice but to accept it.
"Sorry, it was Daddy's fault."
There was no way to persuade him to give up, so Dou Jinyuan could only make other plans.
He had to make other preparations so that he could cover for his baby brother even if he made the wrong choice in the future.
As for the present.
He had no choice but to join.
Dou Jinyuan: "Dad won't talk about this anymore. Ah Lan is right, your dad's vision will definitely not be wrong. Dad will support you in taking down Nie Yao."
After he said that, Du Sui Lan became happy again.
Smiling, she picked up some food for her dad: "This is delicious, Dad, please eat more!"
"By the way, Dad, don't you have an iron mine in the north? Can you give it to Brother Yao? He doesn't want the one I gave him."
Under the burning gaze of my baby brother.
Dou Jinyuan smiled and nodded: "Okay."
It's just an iron mine, nothing special.
He just hoped that Nie Yao would be nicer to A Lan after taking the things.
If not.
Dou Jinyuan clenched the jade chopsticks with his knuckles and picked out fish bones for his beloved boy with a faint smile.
The other side.
Nie Yao didn't know that his future father-in-law was about to give him a big gift.
He is interrogating Sun Ji.
After only two or three days in prison, Sun Ji lost the high spirits of a second-rank official. He was unkempt, his hair and face stained with blood.
"Xiao Sun, why don't you tell me?"
Nie Yao didn't like to use torture when interrogating prisoners, and the injuries on Sun Ji's body were all caused by others.
After Nie Yao arrived, he was kind enough to ask someone to treat him so that the prisoner would not die prematurely.
The value of a dead person is not as high as that of a living person.
Nie Yao smiled broadly, but due to his appearance and the surroundings, his smile seemed eerie and terrifying.
But it is much more terrifying than the physical pain caused by whipping.
Even a seasoned courtier like Sun Ji couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Sun Ji sat quietly.
He let the imperial physician brought by Nie Yao treat his injuries.
Sun Ji: "What does Lord Nie want me to say? How can I talk about something I haven't done?"
Nie Yao arrested him partly to ask him who was conspiring to support the rebellion.
Arrest them all.
By the way, I also want to take some money out of this guy's pocket.
Renovating a mansion is expensive, so don't miss the opportunity to make money.
Nie Yao: "Little Sun, you probably don't know. His Majesty has dismissed you from your post. The current Minister of Rites is not you, Sun Ji, but Guan Junmao, Lord Guan!"
Nie Yao's words were cold and gloomy, and they pierced Sun Ji's heart.
Guan Junmao also came from a prominent family and had a natural alliance with Sun Ji.
He never imagined that when he was imprisoned, Guan Junmao not only did not help him to plead for mercy, but also stabbed him in the back and replaced the position he had worked so hard to build in the court.
Sun Ji was angry.
"You bastard! The new emperor's lackey! A traitor! You will all suffer in the future, poof—"
Before he could finish his words, Nie Yao slapped him in the face.
Teeth mixed with blood and flesh spurted out.
The curse is interrupted.
"Ahem, ahem—" Sun Ji tilted his head and said gloomily, "Nie Yao, I didn't expect you to become the new emperor's lackey. Hehe... aren't you the one who never interferes in the affairs of the royal family?"
"It seems you don't understand the rules yet."
Nie Yao looked down at him, shook his head, raised a finger, and said, "The new emperor gave me one million taels to eradicate you, the parasites that endanger social stability."
One million taels!
Hearing this, Sun Ji stared and lost his composure.
He couldn't believe that he had fallen into such a situation just because of a mere one million taels!
"You, you... Ho, ho..." Sun Ji was so angry that he couldn't breathe, and he gasped, "You are so short-sighted!"
Sacrificing the family's future for a mere one million.
He is simply crazy!
Sun Ji was unwilling to believe that Nie Yao was such a stupid person, and he tried to sober him up by stating the pros and cons at a rapid pace.
"Why bother, Xiaosun?" Nie Yao patted his red and swollen cheek. "You clearly look down on me, thinking that my success at such a young age is entirely due to my father. But now, you refuse to believe that I'm such a short-sighted person."
Shake your head regretfully.
Ask him: "Do you know why you were imprisoned?"
Why?
Sun Ji also wanted to know.
Nie Yao kindly explained: "Because I am, at heart, a corrupt official. It's a pity you just don't want to believe that someone would go to such lengths for money."
"Lord Sun."
"You were born into wealth, but I'm afraid you haven't seen it before—some people are willing to risk their lives and fight with hungry wolves for a bite of food."
Sun Ji was also well-read when he was young, but at this moment he couldn't understand what Nie Yao's words had to do with him.
That’s right, how could a child from a wealthy family who has enjoyed wealth and glory since birth understand the logic here?
Sun Ji sneered in disbelief: "You are the general's only son, and your family background is probably much higher than mine."
"Tsk~Sun Ji, is that all you heard?"
Nie Yao shook his head, lamenting his stupidity.
What he really doesn't understand is that money is really important to the lower class people.
And which of the soldiers under his command is not of common people's origin?
Nie Yao: "There's one more thing you probably don't know. When I sent people to eradicate your family, how happy were my men?"
One by one, both of them were in a hurry to set off.
They almost had to bring their own dry food and rush over to kill the family that exploited them.
"absurd!!"
Sun Ji did not think he had done anything wrong, nor did he think there was anything wrong with his family taking advantage of the chaos in the court to exploit the people and develop themselves.
He felt that it was the stupid poor people who were wrong.
And there is Nie Yao, who has a brain disease but actually helps ants!
"You are just a lowly person. It's not surprising that you starved to death! You actually attacked me for a bunch of ants? Nie Yao, you are a lunatic!"
