I'm the villain in the book
Page 130
If Wei Changtian doesn't understand this issue, he will always be in a disadvantaged position, because he doesn't know what to say and what not to say.
Li Huaizhong will definitely use this mentality to keep putting pressure on himself until he gets the answer he wants, and even a windfall.
Thoughts kept flashing in my mind, and then analyzed and denied.
Every way of coping and every word spoken may determine the future of Wei Changtian and the entire Wei family.
It's not that Wei Changtian hadn't imagined the current scene before.
But when it happened, he realized that he still underestimated the danger like walking a tightrope.
Li Huaizhong...is he really not deceiving himself?
Can an old eunuch who has been in the palace all his life really judge his inner thoughts through micro movements?
At this moment, Wei Changtian even turned around and doubted his original judgment again.
And the more this happened, the more confused and hesitant he became in his brain.
"..."
Three breaths, four breaths...
Time passed by little by little, and Wei Changtian's response time has exceeded the normal range.
The smile on Li Huaizhong's face was even wider, but there was a hint of coldness in his narrowed eyes.
At this critical moment, Wei Changtian suddenly abandoned all the complicated thoughts in his brain.
Cut through the mess!
He decided to follow his initial intuition, which was also the most reasonable guess he could analyze...to take a gamble.
"Eunuch Li..."
Raising his head suddenly, Wei Changtian looked back at Li Huaizhong without dodging, and asked softly:
"My lord...was it really the emperor who sent someone to kill him?"
......
The aroma of tea lingers in the main hall, and it is so quiet that you can hear a pin drop.
Was the prince really the emperor sent someone to kill him?
Although it is an interrogative sentence, it contains a lot of information.
When Wei Changtian said this, it showed that he already knew or guessed the mastermind behind the scenes, which in turn meant that he had already grasped the matter of Ning Qingyu's intention to rebel, and it also meant that he actually "knowledge and did not report"...
"Young Master Wei..."
Li Huaizhong's expression remained the same, but there seemed to be more interest in his eyes: "I don't know where to say this? Do you know that you have committed a crime of disrespect by saying this?"
"Don't play charades with me, father-in-law."
Now that we have started, we must go all the way to the dark. Wei Changtian still looked directly at Li Huaizhong, and said with a chuckle:
"Since we've covered this point, I'll just make it clearer."
"On October 21, the prince called me to the palace and said something to me... Presumably the father-in-law already knows about this?"
"Ha ha."
After taking a sip of tea noncommittal, Li Huaizhong did not answer directly, but asked with a smile: "How did the young master answer the prince at that time?"
"Eunuch..."
Wei Changtian shook his head: "Since you didn't bring an official to arrest me today, doesn't that mean you already know my answer?"
"It's true..."
Li Huaizhong put down the teacup, and finally took his eyes off Wei Changtian for the first time.
"However, there are two things I don't understand. I wonder if the young master can explain one or two things for our family?"
"Excuse me, Father-in-law."
"Okay, the first thing is, why didn't you report the prince's intention to rebel to the court?"
Li Huaizhong shook his sleeves, his eyes seemed a little playful.
But Wei Changtian didn't even think about it at all, and asked directly: "Why should I report to the court? What does this matter have to do with me?"
"Prince Shun intends to rebel because he is coveting this Daning country. Regardless of success or failure, I will not get the slightest benefit, so why do you want to do such a thankless thing?"
"What's more, if I report this matter to the emperor, what if Prince Shun finds out and wants to take revenge on me?"
"There are no benefits but only disadvantages. Who wants to do such a thing?"
"Isn't the father-in-law saying this?"
"..."
This series of rhetorical questions surprised Li Huaizhong for a while.
He originally thought that Wei Changtian would find all kinds of reasons to explain that he didn't deliberately "not report when he was full", but who would have thought that Wei Changtian was also a gangster, and what he said inside and outside the meaning was——
I just didn't report it on purpose, you guys fight as much as you like, anyway, I won't wade into this muddy water!
"Young Master Wei is indeed a straightforward person."
Li Huaizhong quickly came back to his senses, lightly clapped his palms and smiled, "However, our family can't understand this second matter even more."
"Since the son already knows that the prince intends to rebel, why do you want to marry Princess Rou'an? Are you not afraid that the emperor will also be regarded as a rebellious party after the rebellion is exposed?"
"Ok?"
Wei Changtian was surprised, "When did I say I was going to marry the princess?"
"Young Master Wei, you just told our family just now."
Li Huaizhong took a deep look at Wei Changtian: "You said you had an agreement with the princess, and if you remove her scars, she will..."
"Oh, this word..."
Wei Changtian waved his hand and interrupted without waiting for Li Huaizhong to finish, "Eunuch also said it himself just now, didn't I say all this to fool you?"
"Ok?"
Wei Changtian's words were a bit teasing, but Li Huaizhong laughed instead of anger after being stunned for a moment, and asked sharply: "Hahaha, then please ask the young master to explain again why you want to remove the scar for the princess?"
"this......"
Wei Changtian suddenly leaned back on the chair back, and even raised his legs.
He smiled and glanced at the old eunuch who could take his own life at any time, with a relaxed expression, but he spit out an extremely arrogant word.
"Eunuch Li, if I don't tell you, what can you do to me?"
"..."
"Hahahaha!"
After a brief silence, Li Huaizhong laughed even louder in an instant, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"Young master Wei, our family can't do anything to you, but it's hard to say what the emperor will think."
"Last time you killed Liu Xiang, Mr. Wei handed over the two guards of Xuanjing Division to protect your life. If the emperor thinks that you intend to rebel, does your lord think that Xuanjing Division can still have the surname Wei?"
"Eunuch Li, you can't say that. Who doesn't have a few ulterior secrets?"
Facing Li Huaizhong's naked threat, Wei Changtian's expression remained unchanged: "Isn't the father-in-law the same?"
"In the past two years, something has gone wrong with your Yin-Yang Kung Fu practice, and your realm has not advanced but retreated. Now you have almost fallen to the middle stage of the second rank..."
"Pavilion Master Liu of the Tianji Pavilion gave you a bad idea, saying that sitting on the dragon chair for an hour a day can help you maintain your state through the fortune of the country."
"Tsk tsk tsk, you really believe it, every day in the middle of the night, you have to go to the Golden Luan Hall to sit on the dragon chair... I don't know, did your father-in-law tell the emperor?"
"Boom!!"
"boom!!!"
The celadon teacup was shattered into powder in an instant, and the tea in it also exploded suddenly.
Amidst the mist, Li Huaizhong stood up in shock, staring at Wei Changtian with murderous intent in his cloudy pupils.
However, Wei Changtian seemed unaware of this, and just sat on the chair calmly and continued:
"Elder-in-law, I don't mean anything else by saying this."
"The kid just wants to tell Eunuch, since I have no intention of treason and I don't know the whereabouts of the princess, then there is no need to get to the bottom of other matters."
"Eunuch Li..."
Wei Changtian raised his head, his voice was very soft.
But when his last words came to Li Huaizhong's ears lightly, it actually made the old eunuch who had reached the state of "overwhelming mountains and rivers" stop breathing for a moment.
"Eunuch Li, do you think so?"
Chapter 151 Li Huaizhong's Investigation Results
A quarter of an hour later.
"...Young Master Wei."
Li Huaizhong stood up silently, no smile on his face when he first arrived.
He took a deep breath, stared at Wei Changtian firmly and said, "I hope you can keep your promise."
"It's natural, I'm the most trustworthy person..."
Wei Changtian stood up, paused and added: "As long as father-in-law doesn't talk nonsense in front of the emperor."
"Humph!"
Li Huaizhong snorted coldly, as if he didn't want to say another word to Wei Changtian.
But after he took two steps toward the door, he suddenly turned around.
"Young Master Wei, let me ask you one last time... how did you find out about my illness?"
"If you are willing to say it, I will tell you the Liu family's conspiracy against the Wei family in return."
"Eunuch Li, I've already said it."
Wei Changtian shook his head: "The secret must not be leaked, but..."
"But what?"
"However, I have a way to help my father-in-law make up for the shortcomings of this Yin-Yang skill. At least it is more reliable than sitting on the dragon chair."
"Ok?"
Li Huaizhong's eyes flickered: "What method?! If it really works, I can also tell you about the Liu family!"
"Father-in-law is afraid it's the opposite."
Wei Changtian said with a smile, "Yin-Yang Kungfu's disease won't kill my father-in-law for now, but the Liu family will kill me anytime."
"How about this, father-in-law first tell me what conspiracy the Liu family has, and after I'm sure it's true, then tell father-in-law the way to make up for the yin and yang kung fu, how good is that?"
"Ha ha......"
Li Huaizhong sneered and said, "Young Master Wei, don't you think I'm a fool?"
"I don't know if my father-in-law is confused, but I'm not stupid anyway."
Wei Changtian didn't give in at all: "Elder-in-law might as well go back and think about it."
"...Okay! Mr. Wei is really eloquent!"
Li Huaizhong was trembling with anger, and finally decided not to quarrel with Wei Changtian here, he turned his head and walked outside the house after leaving a word.
"My lord, stay for a while, we will meet later."
"Hahaha, father-in-law, then I won't see you off!"
Wei Changtian laughed twice, and watched Li Huaizhong go through the small courtyard and out of the gate. Then he sat back on the chair and took a few deep breaths.
Sweat had already soaked through the back, and a gust of wind blew through it, making it chilly.
Although he had been acting very calm and composed just now, in fact, his nerves were always in a state of high tension.
It is necessary to frighten Li Huaizhong, but not to irritate him completely to the point of being reckless.
