Red Mansion and Crimson Pearl

Chapter 305 Is there a long way to go?

Lin Daiyu looked back at him condescendingly for a long time, then looked away indifferently: "Aunt Meng said that you are just hanging on to your life.

"The Supreme has finished asking you questions. The Northern King is dead, and apart from tracking down the murderer, no one cares much about other matters.

“So, the Supreme Lord ordered Ding Zhitai to come and ask you something. If you have something to say, just say a few words. If you don’t want to say anything, then I will let you take it into the coffin.

“When we get to the underworld in the future, you and the King of the North can talk about it slowly.

"Left or right, it will never be your turn to be remembered for eternity or infamy for eternity. To live in confusion and die in obscurity is your fate."

Daiyu smiled contemptuously and looked at him with raised eyebrows, "You should also know me, I don't care who is in whose party or who wants to scheme against whom.

"As long as I am not being plotted against and embarrassed to my face, I will pretend to be deaf and dumb.

"In this world, who doesn't know how to live a whole life?"

When Liao Changshi heard that his life was coming to an end, his face turned pale. When he heard the two judgments "alive" and "dead", he clenched his fists and showed indignation on his face.

At the last sentence, Liao Changshi suddenly sneered: "But how do you know that someone has plotted against you? Who hasn't plotted against you?

"How do you know which one plotted against your mother and which one plotted against your father!?"

At this moment, Daiyu finally turned around completely, slowly walked back to the table, sat down again, and looked at him:

"According to what the gentleman said, you know?"

Liao Changshi snorted, and finally moved from his position like a worm in the mud to sitting cross-legged with his back straight, looking up at Daiyu:

"When I entered the Bei Mansion, Shui Rong was not yet born! The old prince entrusted me with this before he died. There were only three of us in the room, the Grand Master, the Bei Wang Concubine, and me!

"How many things in the capital city are there that I don't know?"

Daiyu looked at him straight.

There were wrinkles all over his sallow old face, and his goatee was dirty and tangled, but he looked smug and arrogant.

"He looks fierce, but he is weak." Daiyu commented in four words, then leaned back on the chair, glanced at him indifferently, and said,

"If you want to say it, just say it nicely. If you don't want to say it, forget it. There are some things that I don't know and that's a blessing."

A look of surprise flashed across Liao Changshi's face.

Although this girl is young, she is so experienced! She lives so clearly, just like an old woman in her seventies or eighties who has experienced the ups and downs of life!

"It's clearly written on your face that you want to stir up trouble, to stir up trouble, and to make the Northern King and your followers the rest of the country and the world rest in turmoil.

"I'm not stupid, I can see that. Tai Shang is more shrewd, so he didn't even let Feng Tang come to ask, but called Ding Mingyi to come and talk to you.

"My parents' affairs are only about the four princes and eight dukes and the salt merchants of Liangjiang. I am favored by the Queen Mother and Your Majesty, so at most it will take ten or eight years to wipe them out!

“I don’t have many friends in the capital. The only two I have are: one became the Queen Mother’s adopted daughter, and the other blocked the name of a layman.

“Besides that, I don’t feel bad if anyone is wronged!

“——Since you have been familiar with the court for decades, you should know that His Majesty will like my idea very much!

"So, what can you threaten me with?

"I still say the same thing. If you want to say it, then say it. If you don't want to say it, I just don't want to listen!"

Liao Changshi couldn't say a word in response and could only stare at Daiyu blankly!

How could such an extraordinary, delicate and beautiful woman come up with such a cruel and ruthless idea so calmly?

The worst thing is that I have to admit that what she said is right!

The Supreme Lord is turning a blind eye to it now; but Your Majesty has long been ready to uproot the power of these old ministers in the court!

Otherwise, he and the King of the North would not have had their minds twisted because of a few words of provocation from others!

That's it!

Let’s just say it.

Liao Changshi gave a bitter smile and looked down at the ground: "I shouldn't have said it. It would be best if we keep all these things secret and let Rong Ge'er have a grand funeral."

Daiyu narrowed her eyes slightly.

This is what she is most worried about.

Liao Changshi has been serving the Northern King for too long, and his feelings towards him have long surpassed those of a host and a guest. I'm afraid he has long regarded him as his own son or nephew!

It would be like if I killed someone, even if Tao Xingjian was devastated, I'm afraid he wouldn't say anything and would just cover up for himself.

One reason.

She waited quietly.

Waiting for Liao Changshi to waver and raise the flag of surrender.

Liao Changshi smiled bitterly again and bowed his head and said, “But the Supreme Lord will be suspicious, Your Majesty will be suspicious, and the Crown Prince will not trust you.

"Several years later, if all these things are dug up, and they are all pinned on Rong Ge'er, will he really be exhumed and mutilated?"

Liao Changshi raised his head and looked at Daiyu again, with a look of surprise on his face, "Besides, judging from the current situation, you, my princess, may not lose to them, and you may not let them go!

"In that case, why don't I lend you a helping hand and let future generations know that our Rong Ge'er was just too naive and was deceived by others!"

Daiyu curled her lips, looked at him for a while, and suddenly raised her voice to the outside: "Someone, prepare paper and pen!"

Feng Ziying responded and ran away!

Daiyu stood up and looked at him with a smile: "Sir, you might as well write down a list of the names of the people in Jiangnan and give it to Ding Zhitai.

"As for the other things, please write slowly. I will instruct Aunt Meng to do her best to give you medicine and ensure that you can enter the capital."

Liao Changshi was surprised: "Didn't the princess say that I don't have much time left?"

"Time is running out, so it's time for you to go and explain to the Queen Mother of Prince Beijing and the late Prince of Beijing."

Daiyu showed a hint of warmth on her face, “Although you are immoral and invisible, you have finally completed the matter of the Northern King.

"I'll make it happen for you."

After saying that, she walked to the door, which opened automatically, and Qingwen was standing there waiting.

The guards came in to guard, Daiyu and Qingwen left, and then Feng Ziying came in and accompanied Liao Changshi, watching him write a long confession.

I made a copy of this as well.

Daiyu walked back slowly, and when she went up the stairs, she met Ding Mingyi who was coming down with Aunt Meng.

Seeing that she had come out, Ding Mingyi hurriedly clasped his fists and asked, "How is Liao?"

Daiyu nodded with a smile: "I am writing a confession, General Xiao Feng is watching."

Ding Mingyi was surprised and delighted, he gave her a thumbs up and praised her endlessly: "The princess is really amazing!"

Daiyu smiled and shook her head, saying, "He just wants a way out. The Supreme Lord hates him so much that he won't give it to him. The Queen Mother ignores him. Yimin has little to do with him.

"He knows all the connections in the capital, so there's no point in talking to the governor. That's why I came here. He has both face and money, so naturally he'll agree to anything."

These words were humble and light, just like those of a veteran official!

Ding Mingyi was full of admiration and was about to bow with his fists clasped.

Daiyu smiled and said, "Sir, please stop being so. I am now calling you Aunt to your wife. Logically, I should just call you Uncle."

“It’s a pity that this is in front of the Lord and the Queen Mother, and Aunt Zhen is not here.

“Wait for tomorrow.

"There is ample time.

"When you go to the capital, we can talk about the past."

Ding Mingyi was delighted by the implication of these words. He stood up straight and said with a cupped hand: "Okay! I appreciate your good words, Princess!"
