Chapter 321 Differences
"Did you ask her to kill people for you?" Jiang Ting's whole body began to tremble.
Liu Yao looked at Jiang Ting, who began to change her face and explained eagerly, "Tinger, listen to my explanation. Although Liu Xi died, the eldest prince escaped, and Zhang Sheng was still alive. If you don't do things more carefully and let the emperor know that Liu Xi originally defected to the Miao people, and even knew about Ye Yifei; then the whole royal palace may be buried with them. I don't want to do this either, but..."
Jiang Ting was stunned. Yes, she has been thinking about only about Liu Xi, but she forgot that Ye Sidefei's matter is even more terrible. After more than 20 years of a Miao spy in the royal palace, her son could almost inherit the throne. What a big blow for Jingwang Mansion?
Because only a few of them knew about this matter before, and Ye Sidefei had also died, and the Miao spies in her hand had already been cleaned up, Jiang Ting had always felt that this matter had passed. Now that Liu Yao brought it up again, Jiang Ting realized that the matter was much more serious than she thought.
If it is just a concubine's son who defected, he would not be in a desperate situation. But what if we add the charge of hiding the enemy's spies for more than 20 years and colluding with the enemy?
"What... are you going to do?" Jiang Ting asked with difficulty. She knew the meaning of her relaxation, which made it more painful. Why did things turn out like this?
Seeing that Jiang Ting finally calmed down, Liu Yao sighed secretly. He was afraid that she would be too kind and lose her mind. In fact, if he can, he doesn't want to tell her these dirty things at all. But now the situation is unknown, and the prisoner of war has begun to be sent to the capital for interrogation. Perhaps what awaits him soon is a prison disaster. He really dares not hide too much from her.
"Now Zhang Sheng is the only one among the prisoners of war who really knows Liu Xi's identity and origin. As for how much he knows, we haven't figured it out. But he must know one thing, that is, Liu Xi was brought back by them from the Miao people. Once this matter is exposed, what is waiting for us is the investigation of the imperial court, and it is likely that the matter of Concubine Ye will also be exposed.
Liu Yao took a deep breath and continued, "I talked to Zhang Sheng when I was in the army. He knew that he was doomed, so he made a deal with me and asked me to help him take care of his son when he grew up. He helped me hide the truth. Now, on the way back to Beijing, I have let him see his son, and he has also made a promise. It's just that a woman is involved, I think..."
"You're going to kill her and shut her up forever, right?" Jiang Ting grabbed Liu Yao's skirt with trembling hands and asked in a trembling voice, "Who is that woman?"
"The woman's name is Sister Hongfang. She was originally a prostitute, but later she was pregnant and redeemed by Zhang Sheng and raised outside. Her son is Zhang Sheng's only son now. Liu Yao explained the matter clearly in a few words and was worried that Jiang Ting would still be sad, so he said, "Tinger, you have to believe me. I won't kill innocent people indiscriminately. That woman is not a good person. After the protector's rebellion, she was abandoned in the capital. In order to escape the pursuit, she secretly killed a pair of old servants who took care of her, hugged her son and wrapped all the private property stored by Zhang Sheng in her, and fled all the way from the capital to Huainan. If my father-in-law hadn't sent someone to look for..."
Liu Yao suddenly stopped and sighed when he looked at Jiang Ting's surprised eyes. He continued with a guilty face, "I'm sorry, I didn't want to tell you these things. Sorry..."
"It turned out that Dad caught someone for you. Why did he do this?" Jiang Ting felt that it was a little difficult to breathe. She stared at Liu Yao and asked, "What else have you done?" What about the other people who protect the government? Are they all dead? Have they all been killed?"
"Tinger..."
"Tell me! Tell me everything!" Jiang Ting felt that she was extremely confused. She didn't understand how she was feeling now, but just wanted to know the whole truth. As for what she wants to do after knowing the truth, she has no way at all. It's just that she doesn't want to be hidden like this anymore.
Feeling the trembling body in his arms, Liu Yao was heartbroken. He patted her on the back of her shoulder and whispered gently, "Tinger, don't be angry or sad, okay? Calm down first and listen to me talk to you slowly, okay?
Snuggled in Liu Yao's arms for a long time, Jiang Ting's trembling body gradually calmed down, and her excitement gradually calmed down. She took a deep breath and felt that her head was really awake, so she said to Liu Yao, "Say, why is my father looking for the protector of the state? These things should be done by the court.
After calming down, Jiang Ting began to sort out the messy relationship between these things. But there are some things she still can't figure out. Since Hongfang's sister is an outer room, there is naturally no document for her marriage to Zhang Sheng in the government office. In terms of identity, she has nothing to do with Zhang Sheng. She didn't understand how her father knew that she had something to do with Zhang Sheng, and sent someone to arrest her. However, if Liu Yao doesn't have this card in his hand, it is impossible for him to reach a deal with Zhang Sheng.
Liu Yao looked at Jiang Ting pitifully and said, "Tinger, there are some things that my father-in-law didn't tell you to reassure you, and I don't want to tell you. After all, it's all about the older generation. It doesn't matter if you don't know, does it?
Jiang Ting stared at Liu Yao, but only saw the firmness in his eyes. She sighed degrily, "Well, since Dad won't let you say it, you don't have to say it. But you should always make that woman's story clear. I can't agree with this practice of killing people for myself. If it's just to shut her up, it's impossible to kill it, right? Also, have all the people who protected the country's mansion been killed by their father?
"How is that possible?" Liu Yao said in surprise, "Although my father-in-law has always been decisive, those people are all criminals of the court. He sent someone to find it to help the court arrest the criminals as soon as possible. He will not kill innocent people indiscriminately. Don't you think Zhang Sheng's outer room and son are also living well now?
"That's good." Jiang Ting was inexplicably relieved. She understood her father's desire to avenge the Jiang family, but she still couldn't accept that the amiable and respectable father would kill innocent people and kill people because of hatred.
Seeing Jiang Ting's face softened, Liu Yao was also silently relieved. If you let your father-in-law know that Ting'er will have a grudge against him because he said something wrong, I'm afraid he will suffer a lot in the future. Fortunately, he finally made the word come true. As for how Jiang Yong did it, don't tell Tinger the truth.
"Once the peace talks came out, my father-in-law asked someone to send the news of finding Zhang Sheng's outer room and son. I was afraid that things would change, so I directly threatened his son's life, so that he could not tell Liu Xi's story anyway. But at that time, he only promised not to tell the truth in the army, but made a request to see his son. Later, the prince was suddenly angry to death. I went back to the house for burial and took people to the house and locked him up. A few days ago, the army escorted prisoners of war back to Beijing for trial. I arranged someone to take the woman's child to meet Zhang Sheng alone, which really led to a deal.
"In this case, as long as you look at people more closely and wait until Zhang Sheng asks, won't the matter be solved? Why did you kill her?"
