Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 1408 Layout Start 169.0
When Xue Ruitian heard the words "the first empress dowager", a clear expression flashed across his face.

Sure enough, as they had guessed before, the source of these messes is inseparable from the Empress Dowager, not only is it inseparable, the Empress Dowager is also the mastermind of these things, as the most loyal believer of the Qinglian Sect, as the Empress Dowager The Empress Dowager's right-hand man, the Liu family and the Luan family are the accomplices.

"Master Hou? Master Hou, you..."

He Yidun raised his head slightly, and quickly observed Xue Ruitian's expression, and found that when he mentioned the empress dowager, the other party's expression did not change in particular, he was a little surprised, after all, as a nobleman who was related to the royal family, It is relatively rare for such blatant disrespect and disrespect to the Empress Dowager.

"He Yidun, you said these are the meanings of the Empress Dowager, right?"

"Yes, Patriarch Liu did say that. These are the orders of the Empress Dowager. As a subject, Patriarch Liu cannot disobey the orders. Therefore, even if you don't want to, you can only do what the Empress Dowager wants."

"Even if you don't want to, you can only do it according to Tai Huang Ti's wishes?" Xue Ruitian flashed a mocking smile on his face, "If you say this, will Patriarch Liu believe it?"

"What does Lord Hou mean?"

"What do you mean?" Xue Ruitian raised his eyebrows lightly, "He Yidun, if Patriarch Liu allows you to deliver letters and meet Ben Hou Ye, it means that you are his confidant, at least he trusts you, otherwise, such a secret He won't let you do it, right?"

"..." He Yidun hesitated for a moment, then nodded towards Xue Ruitian, "What Hou Ye said is that Patriarch Liu really trusts the villain, and the villain also respects Patriarch Liu very much."

"If my guess is correct, Patriarch Liu is your benefactor. To be precise, he should be your savior, right?" Xue Ruitian's gaze fell on the letter, "When the imperial court encircled and suppressed the Qinglian Sect, your grandparents, The reason why parents can run out and escape from birth is entirely because someone tipped off the news, right? And the person who tipped off the news is Patriarch Liu, right?"

"Master Hou is wise, indeed."

"Well, it's good if you are willing to admit it." Xue Ruitian nodded in satisfaction, "In this way, Lord Ben can confirm that you, your family, and your brothers' families are not ordinary pawns in Qinglian Sect." When he arrived at Heyi Dun, he waved his hand lightly, "The function of your family is probably the work you are doing now, similar to spies, using the pretext of going to business, contacting the remnants of the Qinglian Sect in various places, and inquiring about the court's movements. By the way, let’s do some business and accumulate some contacts and funds for the Qinglian Sect, right?”

He Yidun looked at Xue Ruitian for a long time, then sighed softly.

"Let Master Hou say for sure, Master Hou is worthy of being the person that the head of the family values."

"Then I would like to thank Patriarch Liu for his praise, Xue is ashamed." Xue Ruitian chuckled, "Since the Liu family has been kind to you, it is only natural that you should be loyal to him, but has your benefactor told you that The Great Xia has the iron law of the Great Xia, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the Empress Dowager has no right to interfere with any affairs of the royal children, including weddings and funerals?"

"This..." He Yidun was stunned, and shook his head lightly, "I have heard of it, but it has been rare since ancient times for concubines not to interfere in politics, so..."

"Well, there is some truth to what you said. It is true that there are not many people who can abide by the iron law. It is not particularly out of the ordinary for the empress dowager to do so."

"That's what the villain means."

"Really?" Xue Ruitian looked at him for a while, and snorted coldly, "He Yidun, Patriarch Liu told you so many family secrets, did he tell you how the Empress Dowager entered the palace as a concubine? ?She has no rights in the palace at all, and she has never met His Highness Ning Wang a few times. Also, did Patriarch Liu tell you that unless the Empress Dowager had her own channels, during that time, her news would not be heard at all. It is impossible to send it outside the palace."

"Master Hou, villain..."

"He Yidun, at this time, you are still so dishonest, which makes Ben Hou very disappointed."

"Master Hou, there is no villain, you have misunderstood the villain."

"Misunderstanding?" Xue Ruitian shook his head lightly, "No, Master Ben has not misunderstood. We have said so much just now. It sounds like everything you said is true, but if you deceive some people who don't know, these words are really true. Some people will believe it, but it's a pity that before you came, Master Ben also inquired about some situations, so naturally he would not be deceived by you, and naturally he would not say anything against his will under your tricks. It is true, Master Ben I was thinking, if you can honestly confess everything you know, don't go after this, don't frame that, Lord Ben Hou will fulfill the promise just now, and spare the lives of you and your brothers. After all, you are also the insiders of the case of Ben Hou Ye’s mother. If Ben Hou Ye saves you, you can reciprocate and tell Ben Hou Ye some news. It’s a pity, since Ben Hou Ye agreed to your request until now, In just a short cup of tea, you made Lord Ben realize that you are full of lies. Lord Ben has given you several opportunities, but you don’t know how to cherish them, and you still talk nonsense, so don’t blame Lord Ben for not Talk about affection."

He Yidun looked at Xue Ruitian nervously, the letter was very unfounded, his words were indeed true and false, half of the ten sentences were true and half were false, this was what he discussed with Master Liu before he came to Jiaping Guancheng , I didn't expect that things backfired and were mercilessly exposed by Xue Ruitian.

"Master Hou, Lord Hou, this is really not what a villain means."

"Well, it's not what you mean, it's what Patriarch Liu means." Xue Ruitian waved his hand lightly, "Whose idea is it? In fact, it doesn't matter. Master Ben is already prepared for you not to tell the truth, but I didn't expect that you really didn't have a single word of the truth. You said that you want to cooperate, but in your heart you ridiculed Lord Ben Hou upside down, right? Master Ben Hou doesn't know, is this the usual practice of your Qinglian sect? Is this the attitude of wanting others to seek cooperation, you have worked so hard and ran to the border to see Lord Ben, is this just to express your sincerity?" He sneered and stepped back two Bu, "Unfortunately, Master Ben doesn't like such a collaborator, and he doesn't want to deal with people like you who lie all day long. Therefore, if the cooperation fails, you can continue to stay here!"

After finishing speaking, Xue Ruitian quickly left the dungeon without giving He Yidun a chance.

He Yidun watched Xue Ruitian's back disappear from his sight, and he didn't recover for a long time.
