Chapter 73 Party Struggle
Liu Xia knows what Wang Bangyao said.
When this layer of fog is gradually peeled off, as the prince said, the truth is often unacceptable.
The prince's crime does not need to be discussed.
It's just to see if the emperor still wants this son.
And this undercurrent under the surface of the prosperous Longdu is naturally so shocking.
I'm afraid it's not just the prince, but those who have a chance to get the emperor's throne will not go there clean under their buttocks.
Of course, it also includes the second prince, the third prince, and even the youngest fourth prince.
In this game, if you are incompetent, there is only one end, which is death.
Those who want to live must take risks.
"Wang Bangyao, who do you think is behind this matter?"
Liu Xia asked curiously.
In fact, at this moment, Liu Xia's heart has a vague answer.
I just want to confirm it from Wang Bangyao.
"Your Majesty, this..., this sinner dares not guess randomly."
Wang Bangyao said hesitantly, because he was worried that his words would cause an uproar.
He has now made it clear that he is not a pity for his own death. If his family is involved again, it will be a great sin.
"Ha ha, I know what's on your mind. It's better for us to fire the ancients. We only write one word to see if we guess correctly. How about it?"
Liu Xia said with a faint smile.
Hearing this, Wang Bangyao knew that Liu Xia already had a goal, and just asked him to prove it.
This reassured Wang Bangyao a lot. He also knew Liu Xia's character. In case Liu Xia was just an independent master, his whole family would be sad.
Now it seems that although the prince looks young, he has his own uniqueness.
At this point, Wang Bangyao naturally has nothing to be afraid of.
So he stood up, took a pen from the table, and wrote a word on the palm of his hand.
Then, he handed the pen to Liu Xia.
Liu Xia solemnly wrote a word on the palm of her hand.
After writing, Liu Xia first spread out his palm. After Wang Bangyao saw it, he couldn't help but be shocked. Then, he also spread out his palm, and the two couldn't help looking at each other and smiling.
Because, on the palm of Liu Xia's hand, there is only one rubbing character, and on Wang Bangyao's palm, there is a protective character.
Although the words are different, they all point to the same person - Tuoba Lingyun.
"It seems that I guessed it, and it's really right."
Liu Xia said with a faint smile.
"Your Majesty, the sinner has a saying that I don't know whether to say it or not."
Wang Bangyao said cautiously.
"But it's okay to say it."
"Your Majesty, the protector Tuoba Lingyun is not an ordinary role. In those years, your majesty was in trouble. If it hadn't been for the clever tricks of the Protector, he would have committed dangerous crimes. I'm afraid there is no majesty today. Over the years, he has woven a huge network of power in Longdu. Even if he is a prince, he is afraid of him. In particular, his mastery of the Metropolitan Inspects made him more like a tiger. If the prince is not fully sure, he still has to be careful about everything.
Wang Bangyao persuaded.
"Well, I understand in my heart. Wang Bangyao, there is something I want to say in the front. Your Majesty asked me to thoroughly investigate the case of the Onmyoji Association, and the prince case was just a rabbit and inadvertently bumped into it. When the time is ripe, I will report to Your Majesty. As for how your majesty makes a choice, I can't decide. And as an insider in this case, whether the emperor knocks on the mountain and shocks the tiger, or thoroughly investigates the prince's case, you can't escape once. Do you understand?"
Liu Xia said earnestly.
"I understand."
"Your family, I will protect them. In the next few days, you can stay at ease. You don't have to worry about the rest.
Liu Xia got up and said.
Wang Bangyao sighed and said with a wry smile, "Thank you, my lord."
"Dabao, Liu Liansheng, come in."
Liu Xia shouted.
Immediately, Liu Liansheng and Dabao entered the room.
"Dabao, send Wang Bangyao to the secret room. Good wine and good food are served every day. Don't let outsiders know."
Liu Xia told him.
"I understand."
After saying that, Dabao left here with Wang Bangyao.
"Liu Baihu, when Lord Tong came back today, did he attract anyone's attention?"
Liu Xia asked.
"Go back to the prince, when Lord Tong just left, he said that he was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble. He brought a hat to Wang Bangyao all the way. After approaching Longdu, he mixed into the caravan and came in. Just now, my subordinates were also sent to look around, and no one followed or monitored them. It shouldn't be a big problem."
Liu Liansheng said.
"Well, pay close attention to the movement around the royal palace. Take time to lay out the eyeliner outside the Protector's Mansion and let the experienced brothers do it. The detectives of the Metropolitan Inspection House are not idle.
Liu Xia told him.
"Don't worry, my lord, I know what to do."
"Okay, you go."
Liu Liansheng left with his fist, turned around and left the hall.
After they all left, Liu Xia sat alone in the master's chair in the hall, took a sip with a tea cup, and her face was full of suspicion.
When he came to Longdu, he had some conflicts with Tuoba Lingyun. He knew that he had a disappointing son and some of his family history.
Speaking of which, Tuoba Lingyun came from a small palace guard to today, which is indeed a very inspirational story.
However, Liu Xia can't figure it out. Why does he want this money?
According to the regulations of the Zhatianji Dynasty, Tuoba Lingyun is a prince, not to mention anything else. His salary alone is enough to make him live in Longdu.
Of course, this is only superficial.
If it's gray income, it's even more terrible.
His shopkeeper is the emperor's secret service agency. He has life and death to seize power. If he wants to make some money, it is simply a piece of cake.
With these two things, Tuoba Lingyun will not be short of money.
Is it that he lacks power?
That's even more impossible.
He was not born of a clan. He climbed to today's position. It can be said that he is below one person and above ten thousand people. Even if it is one of those clans, he can not pay attention to it.
Who dares to offend the Metropolitan Inspects? Isn't such a right enough?
Perhaps, this is the old saying that people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants.
Tuoba Lingyun also wants to be an emperor?
That is absolutely impossible to achieve.
Although he has money and power, his conditions for being emperor are far worse.
First of all, he was not born in the world, but with one point, it is delusional.
He is no better than those princes. If those princes rebel, at least the clan will support him, and he, a reckless man, has no foundation. Even if he can beat the dragon capital, as long as other clans come to the king of Qin, he will die in minutes.
Throughout the history of the Dragon Soul Continent, almost all dynasties and emperors were born.
The history of the clan's control of this continent is longer than that of the dynasty's control of this continent.
Even if Tuoba Lingyun can usurp the throne, he is not born in a clan. No one in the world will submit to him.
He can't be an emperor, but if he wants to work hard to make his family a family, and then let his descendants become emperors, this is still possible.
However, a family mainly becomes a family. Without a history of hundreds of years, it is really delusional.
With such an analysis, Liu Xia did not think that Tuoba Lingyun would not be so arrogant that he wanted to be emperor.
Because, after several contacts with Tuoba Lingyun, Liu Xia felt that he was not such a brainless, crazy and delusional person.
From his means of dealing with the Bai family to contain Liu Xia, it can be seen that this person is very subdued and will not make such a low-level mistake.
But, in this way, why does Tuoba Lingyun need so much money?
There is only one explanation. Tuoba Lingyun is not for himself, but for others.
That is to say, Tuoba Lingyun is just a chess piece, and the person behind him is the real owner.
"Who is that owner? The second prince? The third prince? Or the fourth prince?"
Liu Xia thought about it silently.
Only in this way is a reasonable explanation.
Thinking of this, Liu Xia was thinking and gradually became cheerful.
This layer of fog has been lifted.
Then, the rest is evidence collection.
Tuoba Lingyun is an old Jianghu. After the accident of the Onmyoji Association, he killed his mouth for the first time.
Secondly, and the most amazing thing is to divert Liu Xia's attention and let Liu Xia pursue the prince.
I have to say that this scheme is very smart.
In addition to being framed, he could also make Liu Xia fight with the prince, so he safely escaped the disaster.
In the end, whether the prince dies or Liu Xia dies, he can watch the fire across the shore and reap the benefits of the fisherman.
If Wang Bangyao hadn't been caught, I guess he would still be confused at this moment.
If it is calculated in this way, the person who ambushed them that day was not the prince's private army, but Tuoba Lingyun's private army.
Because the prince only needs to kill people and silence, and he can't make that big noise.
Liu Xia guessed that if they were killed that day, the army would definitely exchange the prince's silver back. In this way, the emperor would be furious and thoroughly investigate.
The prince's batch of silver was also exposed, and the emperor would naturally understand everything. At that time, Tuoba Lingyun not only got rid of Liu Xia, but also replaced the prince.
It's really killing two birds with one stone.
Unfortunately, their strategy was excellent, but they met an opponent like Liu Xia, Hu Wei's reinforcements, which directly shattered their plan.
So, Tuoba Lingyun had to destroy those bodies to cover up his crime.
So far, Tuoba Lingyun has carefully planned every step and implemented it.
The evidence that can be destroyed has been destroyed.
Thinking of this, Liu Xia admired Tuoba Lingyun's old-fashionedness from the bottom of her heart. He did everything flawlessly, and his tricks were also one by one.
Compared with Tuoba Lingyun, Liu Xia does look a little immature.
However, people always grow up in battle.
The series of actions of Tuoba Lingyun cannot be completed by one person.
And the person named Zhu Neng may be another identity of Tuoba Lingyun.
Usually, he pretended to be the Duke of Protector and the commander of the Metropolitan Inspectorate. At some special times, he changed his body and became Zhu Neng, the leader of the world's green forest.
And the private soldiers he privately privately used as bandits and robbers as a cover, hiding in all parts of the Tianji Dynasty.
It's really the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, each with its own magical power.
The prince hid his private army in the southeast garrison, and Tuoba Lingyun's owner was even more unique, hiding directly in the green forest, covering people's eyes and ears.
Thinking of this, Liu Xia couldn't help laughing.
It's really an eye-opener.
Knowing where their private army is hiding, all the problems are simple.
"Dabao, let's go and follow me to the Military Department."
After saying that, Liu Xia went straight out of the gate.
