Chapter 520 Mutual Schemes
Wei Jin also did not turn around to look at the person being held on the ground by Chu Lan's men. His expression was dull and his eyes were lifeless.
Chu Lan continued: "If Ninth Brother doesn't recognize him, you can ask someone from the Xu Guogong Mansion to come over and ask."
Wei Jinyi slowly raised his eyes to look at the person, then raised his right hand and spoke with the person next to him. The man gestured.
Then Xiaobei took a step forward and bowed respectfully to Chu Lan: "Your Highness King Jing, my prince is not feeling well and will soon be exhausted. If you have anything to say to my prince, you can tell me first. I'll take note of this first, wait until my prince feels better, and then I'll tell him in detail."
Chu Lan looked in the direction of Wei Ruo again: "Why don't you, the princess, come and talk to me on my behalf?"
Wei Ruo didn't even raise his head when he was called by Chu Lan, pretending not to hear.
Xiaobei smiled and explained to Chu Lan: "Prince Jing, you are joking. This is inconsistent with etiquette. I don't think Prince Jing would do such a rude thing." Chu Lan slowly withdrew his gaze
and explained what he had brought The identity of the person coming.
"This man is Shengtong, an old subordinate of Xu Guogong. He was supposed to die in the battle, but he is still alive today. Your Highness Prince Rui doesn't want to hear why he is still alive, changed his name, and lives a free and easy life?
" Wei Jin didn't show any surprise when he said this, and still lay weakly.
This is the posture of a person who is about to die.
Wei Ruo, who was busy roasting chicken, was also not surprised. She had known for a long time that Chu Lan would have criminal evidence that the Qi family framed Xu Guogong's mansion, but she didn't know what it was.
Now it seems that this man named Sheng Tong is very likely to be his move that inflicts heavy losses on King Yu and the Qi family.
However, this time Chu Lan did not choose to bring the person to the emperor to confront him, but tried to hand the person over to Wei Jinyi and let Wei Jinyi help him make this move.
"Ah, there is such a thing!" Xiao Bei looked surprised, his eyes widened, and then said, "Prince Jing, this is such a serious matter, please send this person to the Inspectorate as soon as possible. Please Check the people there!"
"I think it would be more appropriate to hand this person over to my ninth brother. After all, this person is most likely the criminal who framed Xu Guogong." Chu Lan said.
"Absolutely not! It is absolutely forbidden for Prince Jing to do this! My prince has weak bones, and the doctor said that he should not be worried and nervous! Furthermore, my prince is not good at this investigation, and he needs to find specialized people to do it. OK!" Xiaobei quickly refused.
As he spoke, Xiaobei looked back very worriedly at Wei Jinyi, who was sitting on the same wicker chair.
Wei Jin could obviously hear the conversation, but he had a tired look on his face, and it really seemed like he shouldn't be working hard.
Seeing Xiaobei's anxious look, Wei Ruo sighed in his heart, not only his master was good at acting, but the subordinates around him were also very good at it.
For this performance, Wei Ruo must give him ninety-nine points. One more point to avoid making him proud.
Chu Lan followed Xiaobei's line of sight and looked at Wei Jinyi, her eyebrows slightly condensed.
Xiaobei said again: "Prince Jing, it's getting late. It's going to be cold as soon as the sun sets on this autumn day. My prince can't bear the cold! I will have to help the prince back to the carriage soon. The delay will affect the prince's health." A body that a villain cannot bear!"
Chu Lan glanced at Wei Ruo again, an unusual light flashed in his eyes.
After a while, "Okay." Chu Lan agreed, then turned around, got on his horse neatly, and left with his people.
After he left, Wei Ruo came to Wei Jinyi's side, sat down and leaned his head over.
"Does Chu Lan want to use you as a spearman?" Wei Ruo asked Wei Jinyi.
"That should be the intention." Wei Jin also said. Wei Ruo looked at Wei Jinyi's calm face and asked, "Second brother, are you really not angry when you see the man brought by Chu Lan just now? He might be the one who killed your grandfather's family. "
The person just now is not really Sheng Tong." Wei Jin also replied.
"Second brother, you mean that person is fake?"
"If it is really Shengtong, then he is a very important witness. Chu Lan should not take him around. He will definitely hide the person and then choose the right time to reveal it in public to Prince Yu and the Qi family. A fatal blow, instead of showing his trump card in advance like this. Even if he wants to borrow my hand, he will definitely choose a more hidden opportunity to avoid being discovered by King Yu and the Qi family. Now he chooses to do it when I am here Outside the city, he brought people to see me with great fanfare and grandeur, which shows that this person is not really Shengtong."
Wei Jin also analyzed the suspicious aspects of Chu Lan's actions today, and thus deduced that the person Chu Lan just brought was fake.
"Second brother is right." This is indeed strange!
Wei Jin also continued: "He came to look for me today, not just because he wants to use my hand to deal with King Yu and the Qi family. If he takes people on this trip in such a arrogant way, the eyes and ears of King Yu and the Qi family will definitely hear about it. . If the Qi family believes that Chu Lan has captured Sheng Tong, they will definitely take action." "
So Chu Lan is defrauding King Yu and the Qi family?" Wei Ruo asked.
"It's very possible." Wei Jin also replied.
Therefore, during Chu Lan's trip today, it would be good if he could persuade Wei Jin to take action, but if he could not persuade him, his goal would be achieved.
As long as the news reaches the ears of King Yu and Qi Yansong, they will inevitably take action against the clock to prevent Chu Lan from bringing people to the emperor for a confrontation.
Once King Yu and the Qi family took action, they gave Chu Lan a chance.
"They are all thousand-year-old foxes." Wei Ruo sighed once again.
Chu Lan is, and so is her second brother!
Chu Lan's actions against the Qi family are earlier than in the original work. It is difficult to say that it is not related to her second brother's series of actions to sow discord.
After a pause, Wei Ruo asked again: "Does the second brother think that this Sheng Tong is really the person who stabbed Xu Guogong in the back and made Xu Guogong suffer unjust injustice? Is the Qi family really the mastermind behind the scenes?"
"I didn't know about Shengtong before. What Chu Lan said today is that there is a high possibility that this person is the person who was bribed to forge false evidence about my grandfather's rebellion. As for the person behind the scenes, the person I suspect is indeed Qi Family, because the biggest beneficiary of what happened back then was the Qi family." Wei Jin also replied.
"Yeah." Wei Ruo nodded.
She asked the second brother because she wanted to remind him that the mastermind behind the scenes was indeed the Qi family, and Chu Lan was not mistaken about this.
Now that her second brother said that the person he guessed was also from the Qi family, she didn't need to say more.
Because of Chu Lan's appearance, Wei Ruo lost interest in continuing to play.
So after eating the roasted chicken and fish, Wei Ruo asked everyone to pack their bags and set off back to Prince Rui's Mansion.
The team moved very slowly along the way. Wei Ruo and Wei Jin were eating in the car while admiring the scenery. It was already dusk when they returned to Prince Rui's Mansion.
As soon as he got off the car and landed on the ground, Wei Ruo suddenly thought of something important.
"Second brother."
Wei Ruo grabbed the arm of Wei Jinyi who was about to go to the front yard.
