He's been caught for the show.

Chai Zhu's blood was almost chilled by Yan Jie's next words, "If someone hadn't cleaned up the mess for you and covered up the traces, do you think you would have survived to this day?"

Chai Zhu:! ! !

Putting aside the "intentional design" part, if what this person said is true, then...

Chai Zhu, who belatedly realized that he had brushed past death, felt a chill behind him, and his skin got goosebumps all over his body.

But, no...

"If it is to get rid of suspicion, why does Meng Wu protect me?"

It should be said that his adoptive brother wished that he would die quickly.

Yan Jie glanced at him in a little surprise, "You don't think that something happened to you, that Meng can still stay in Chai's house, right?"

Chai Zhu twitched his fingers, feeling a little dizzy in his head.

What do you mean by this?

Obviously, if something happened to him, Meng Wu would be the one who should take over the Chai family. He always knew that that person had a special status no matter in the Chai family or in his aunt's heart.

then……

Even if his adoptive brother pushed him into the cold lake water, he was only punished afterwards.

Chai Zhu advised himself not to care, not to care.

He has been rescued, hasn't he?Nothing happened to him, did he?The adoptive brother was also severely punished, and the time in bed was even longer than him.

One is just a nephew who has just been picked up, and the other is an heir who has been trained for many years as a parent...

Isn't it easy to distinguish between close and distant?

Although later, he became the "Master Chai", but the aunt never concealed her reliance on Meng Wu.Even that choice was made casually and contemptuously, as if it was just because he bears the surname "Chai", and it seemed to be...impatient and entangled with the elders of the clan.

…………

……

Yan Jie didn't notice Chai Zhu's trance-like thoughts, and just said casually, "The knife is broken, what's the use of keeping the whetstone?"

...a whetstone?

Is that what he meant?

Chai Zhu could only feel his head buzzing, and memories of the past surged out scene after scene, entangled and tugged at his mind.

Chai Zhu is not a saint.Over the years, he has repeatedly tolerated his adoptive brother's petty behavior, not because of his good temper, but because of his aunt.The only blood relative he recognized in the world, the elder who took care of him after his mother passed away.

He knew that although his aunt didn't show it on the surface, she really loved him.Just like that winter day, she didn't even have time to command her servants, she jumped down and pulled him out of the icy water.

That was the only family member he recognized...

Therefore, he neither wanted nor wanted to embarrass his aunt.

However, if it is really as the person in front of him said.

…………

……

Chai Zhu only felt that his mind was extremely chaotic, and he searched through his memory over and over again, trying to find some evidence.But he didn't know for a while, whether the evidence he wanted to find was to prove whether Yan Jie's words were true or false.

In a daze, the person opposite seemed to say something, but Chai Zhu agreed absent-mindedly, just like a wandering soul.

……

Until the evening, they were arranged to live.

Obviously only three or five days had passed, but Chai Zhu felt as if he had passed away from a broken wooden board covered with straw to a normal bedding bed.

Chai Zhu was pressing the quilt in a daze, until the maid next to him asked in a low voice, then he suddenly woke up.

From being a prisoner to being treated as a guest, from prison to the current normal residence... Obviously, it is not free.

Chai Zhu suddenly realized: When I was wandering just now, I seemed to have agreed to something extraordinary? ! !

...go deep into the enemy's base camp, get evidence of treason, etc...

Chai Zhu:! ! !

#Frightened.jpg#

It is normal to know that someone is going to rebel (Chai Zhu: Although it is not normal for such a thing to happen), shouldn't you report it to the official?He is just an ordinary merchant with a little "billion point" money, why should he go through this kind of thing now? !

"You think the little emperor doesn't know that his uncle is rebellious?"

For Chai Zhu's naive thoughts, the man just sneered, "It's just that I'm so burnt out that I can't take care of it for a while."

Thinking of this, Yan Jie's expression darkened again.

Obviously that person has taught him by hand, but after so many years, he only learned a little bit.

As long as he has learned half of that person's skills, he won't be in such a hurry as he is now...

What a rotten wood! !The great situation created by that person was in vain.

——Yan is also double-standardizing today.

……

…………

There was really no way to answer Yan Jie's words, Chai Zhu was choked back immediately.

He was silent for a long time, then brought up another topic, and confirmed with Yan Jie once again: "Is it okay to just take me out of prison like this?"

Yan Jie didn't even have an excuse to bring him out of prison, and Chai Zhu had no idea what agreement Yan Jie had reached with this group of people.

In fact, Chai Zhu doesn't know much about Yan Jie until now, and the initiative of the conversation has always been in the hands of the other party.

Chai Zhu only knew an unknown name, knew that he had some relationship with Huo Xiang, and seemed to know the Chai family and his aunt very well...

The sad thing is that he was dragged into the boat of thieves because he knew nothing about it.

When Yan Jie asked, he sneered again, "If I don't take you with me, they won't be at ease."

Chai Zhu was startled, and didn't understand what he meant, but when he asked again, the maid who had been dismissed just now came back, and Yan Jie, who was next to him, had already closed his eyes and was too lazy to pay attention to him, but Chai Zhu It's not good to speak again.

He couldn't help but recall that when Yan Jie first went to look for him in the prison, the steward next to him was really not surprised at all.Thinking back now, I don't know if it was the effect of psychological hints, but the other party did relax a little bit.Later, he let him act even more, as if he was not at all worried that something would happen to him.

Chai Zhu knew that he was the bargaining chip to blackmail Meng Wu.

The performance of the other party can only explain one thing. After this person agreed to their solicitation, the existence of "Meng Wu" is irrelevant.

So, is this person rich?

The one richer than the Chai family.

Is this possible?

There is a reason why the Chai family is known as the world's richest businessmen. "Family wealth is ten thousand, wealth can rival the country" is not just a description, otherwise it would not be to the extent of being targeted by treasonable people.

Chai Zhu dare not say that there is no family in this world richer than the Chai family.

But if that kind of wealth belongs to an individual, the other party will never be unknown.

Then contact him with the..."account manager" he told this person earlier?

Chai Zhu was thoughtful.

Looking at the determination of the other party when they gave him the jade card, it seemed that Huo Yan would definitely recognize it.

This person used to be Huo Xiang's confidant?

... An old man from Prime Minister Huo's residence?accountant?

Speaking of which, there is indeed a rumor in the market, that there was only a small amount of gold and silver seized from Huo Xiang's mansion, because Prime Minister Huo had sensed something was wrong earlier, and had moved his family's treasures to a dark place to hide.

Naturally, the rumors became more and more outrageous as they spread. There are several versions of Chai Zhu alone: ​​there are fuyao fruits that can never die, panaceas that can transform feathers into immortals, and immortal medicines that can cure all diseases and even bring the dead back to life. ...Compared with the above, those gold and silver treasures that are incomparably rich have become more convincing guesses.

So this group of people is for the rumored "treasure"?

Chai Zhu looked inquisitively at Yan Jie opposite, but saw the man clenched his fists, and his knuckles were white due to excessive force.

A strange thought emerged from the bottom of my heart: Is this person nervous?

They sat and waited here, naturally to see the person in charge, but before seeing Yan Jie, whether in front of the jailer or after he was led out, they all looked down on others with their nostrils upturned.

——This kind of person is still nervous? !

Yan Jie's mood made Chai Zhu also feel a little uneasy, and he couldn't help guessing who they were going to meet today.

But... wait!

Yan Jie said earlier that that guy Huo Yan sneaked in under the identity of "the son of King Jingning", so no matter who was in charge of the place before, there is such a "big man" in name alone, it is inevitable This "prince" is the boss.

So, this time, what they want to meet is actually Huo Yan?

It was indeed Chu Lu who came over.

With someone guarding them, it is impossible for this group of people to stage a scene where they are trapped in the enemy camp and recognize each other with tears in their arms.

Chai Zhu barely controlled his expression so as not to reveal any flaws.The other two had already assumed their current identities and started talking.

The conversation was even more cloudy, and Chai Zhu always felt that the two had exchanged something, but he clearly knew that there was something tricky behind the scenes, but he didn't hear anything.

Chai Zhu: "..."

Obviously the three of them are in the same group. In terms of relationship, he and Huo Yan are naturally closer than Yan Jie, who didn’t even know Huo Yan’s name. In terms of identity, he and Yan Jie belong to the same prisoner who has just been released, and the situation is more similar .However, at this moment, he unexpectedly had a vague... illusion of being excluded.

It must be an illusion!

...It can't be suppressed because of IQ.

Chu Lu was also vaguely aware of the situation after Chai Zhu disappeared. After all, five or six years had passed since he woke up. Although he tried his best to collect information along the way, the information in his hand was still not enough for him to make an accurate judgment.

He forged such an identity to sneak in this time, maybe it was for gambling, but after he really came in, he realized that he was really lucky and unlucky.

Although he didn't intend to leave it alone, Chu Lu planned to fish out Chai Zhu first before making other plans, but he didn't expect that there would be a "Yan Jie" in it.

Chu Lu, who went to the prison twice, completely failed to connect the dirty drunk next to him with the exquisite Mr. Yan back then.

But with this person taking care of Chai Zhu, there is nothing to worry about.

Although it's a little strange, why Yan Jie didn't take good care of his family in Yan's house, but came here instead, but this is not the time to inquire about these news.

If you really want to ask clearly, you can ask again after the matter is over.

After finally finding a "reasonable" excuse to meet, the two briefly exchanged information, and Chu Lu and Chai Yan split up.

Those two went to King Jingning's base camp to find evidence of rebellion, and Chu Lu was naturally not able to go with him because of his status as his son.

Although that King Jingning did indeed have rich heirs, and there were more than 40 sons registered in the certificate alone, there were countless unnamed illegitimate children who had been out for a while, and some of them might not even be recognized by him.

If he manages it well, he might be able to act under his nose in the name of his son.But that's not something that can be done by just engraving a seal, taking a token, and making up a story that looks a little believable,

The energy put in and the harvest are really not proportional, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Moreover, King Jingning has Yan Jie at his side, no matter whether he is looking for evidence or cheating people, it is enough, even a bit overqualified.

After dealing with this fake identity, Chu Lu naturally has something to do.

He had to bury the so-called "Huo family's treasure" before Yan Jie revealed the "treasure location" to King Jingning's people.

——Although the time of burying it was not right, it was indeed a genuine "Huo Family's Treasure" to some extent.

As for funding sources?

After Chai Zhu's accident earlier, his adoptive brother gave him the hush money.

It has to be said that he was really a generous person, and Chu Lu even vaguely regained the familiarity of exploiting oil and water back then.

As for Meng who wanted to dismiss Chai Zhu's disappearance at will, but after the meeting, he stepped on the bottom line with a few words, and even dropped again and again, and finally was torn off a piece of flesh so hard that his face turned blue. Son?

The other party probably won't have time to worry about this matter soon.

Chai Xiangjin was someone who had to be cautious when dealing with Prime Minister Huo back then. Compared with her, this kid's methods are too tender, and I'm afraid he would have been found out by now.
