After exchanging lives, I can't get rid of the binding cp

Chapter 166 The wind is surging (4)

Fu Guan put down his pen, and the ink slowly smudged and dried on the paper.He leaned back on the chair and said, "That's right. Not only that, King Yin deliberately took General Yan away at the emperor's will. I think, this time, they should want General Yan to take the initiative to bear all the responsibilities .”

Lou Xiyue: "...Impossible, why did General Yan agree? It is true that he participated in Linlang Pavilion, but he did not do all the evil things alone."

She recalled the brief confrontation with Old General Yan, and said: "As far as I know, he doesn't seem like someone who would suffer such a secret loss. I'm afraid the emperor and Prince Yin's wishful thinking will come to nothing."

Lou Xiyue thought her analysis was reasonable, but Fu Guan said: "No, he will agree. He will be a scapegoat in exchange for the safety of the whole family. This is a good deal, why doesn't he do it? "

Hearing what he said, Lou Xiyue remembered that there were still many members of the Yan family detained in the prison.Yan Yun and the son-in-law cannot escape, but the lives of the others can be fought.

If the emperor really wants to stop at this point, then this time, if he wants to move Old General Yan, he must give enough generous benefits.The Yan family has fallen, and General Yan wants to make a comeback in the future, so he must leave a way for the remnants of the Yan family to survive.

Not only must there be a way to survive, but also enough family assets must be given.

Lou Xiyue thought to herself, Old General Yan might indeed agree to the conditions offered by Prince Yin and the Emperor, but she was unwilling to see such a result.

She asked: "What about Qiu Zhi? He told me that he has other strong evidence in his hands that can bring down the rest of Linlang Pavilion's masterminds."

"Huh?" Fu Guanhe looked at her from the written memorial: "But when Dali Temple interrogated him, he didn't say that. Qiu Zhi claimed that he didn't know anything, and he didn't even see General Yan. On the other hand, joining Linlang Pavilion is also forced."

He paused, and then said: "Perhaps, he lied to you."

Lou Xiyue recalled Qiu Zhi's eagerness to seek cooperation not long ago, and immediately let out an inexplicable "huh".She said: "Qiu Zhi is very cunning, and he doesn't speak much truth. If we don't use some extreme measures, I'm afraid we won't be able to pry his mouth open."

Fu Guan heard what she meant, and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Lou Xiyue raised her eyes and looked at the other party with a firm gaze: "Take me to your prison, I want to meet Qiu Zhi. Maybe, I have a way to make him tell the truth."

Hearing this, Fu Guan was silent for a moment.

He is weighing.

"How sure are you?" Fu Guan asked.

Lou Xiyue: "If I boast about Haikou, you will not believe it. But I want to try my best." She said: "It's just a try, the opportunity is right in front of you, why miss it? You can interrogate him however you want afterwards."

This sentence made sense, Fu Guan agreed to her proposal.

"However, the timing is not right now. There are many people in the daytime, and it is not convenient for you to go in and out of Dali Temple. Later, you can change your clothes and pretend to be my bodyguard before going to Dali Temple." Fu Guan said .

Lou Xiyue nodded: "Yes, yes."

After the two discussed it, they each looked away and did not speak.

The atmosphere fell into an eerie silence.

Fu Guan thought for a while, and finally put down what he was doing, looked at Lou Xiyue, and asked, "What else?"

Lou Xiyue: "..." She sighed secretly in her heart, thinking about how to tell Fu Guan the news she heard from General Yan and the head.

She considered her words and said, "Before you led people to Linlang Zhenqi, Old General Yan had a quarrel with the head. From their conversation, I heard an old secret."

Fu Guan stared at her expression, realizing that this "secret" might not be simple.He asked, "What is it?"

Lou Xiyue: "Your father's death seems to be related to General Yan."

The moment the voice fell, she clearly saw that Fu Guan's hand half hidden under his sleeve clenched into a fist.

"What do you mean by that? Miss Lou, you might as well make your words clearer." Fu Guan's expression didn't change much.His voice was still calm: "Do you know that this is a big deal at this time? You can think it through before you talk."

"If I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I wouldn't have said this rashly." After speaking, Lou Xiyue told everything that happened in the courtyard that day.She said: "This matter is absolutely true. If you don't believe it, you can ask Qiu Zhi. He was also present at the time."

After hearing her words, Fu Guan fell into silence.

Lou Xiyue quietly watched him frown, she saw his taut figure looked like a statue under the candlelight.After a while, Fu Guan said slowly:
"I see. Thanks for telling me about it."

He also said: "I will send people to investigate what happened back then. This is not only for my father, but also for General Ban. I think you and your sister Ban Xiyu also want to find out what happened in Guicheng back then.

"This time, if we can follow the vine and clarify the ins and outs of the old cases together, then it can be regarded as an explanation to the Ban family."

Lou Xiyue said: "Well, I hope so."

Although her fundamental purpose of going to Beijing was not here, if she could find out the truth about General Ban's death for the Ban family, that would be icing on the cake.

If Ban Xiyu were here at this moment, she would be delighted to hear the news.

But thinking of Ban Xiyu who is far away, Lou Xiyue thought of another thing: "By the way, today the eldest princess sent Aunt Jiefang who is beside me to look for me, she seems to want to see me."

Lou Xiyue looked at Fu Guan and said, "You haven't told the princess my real identity, have you? If you have a chance, please explain to the princess for me that I am not 'Ban Xiyu', the real Xuan Ping The princess is someone else."

Fu Guan: "..."

For some reason, his movements froze.He moved his arm, and his face was calm again: "Not yet. But I think it's best not to confess this matter to grandma, otherwise it will not be good for you."

Lou Xiyue: "...how do you say that?"

Based on her observation, the eldest princess is not unreasonable.If she can understand it and reason, the eldest princess will not blame her.What's more, the eldest princess already had expectations for "Princess Xuanping", so what difference does it make to her whether this princess is real or not?
Fu Guan took a sip of tea to soothe his throat: "Don't forget, you replaced Ban Xiyu and married into the Xuanping Palace, which is a crime of deceiving the emperor. Grandmother has a proud personality, how can she tolerate someone blatantly deceiving her?
"It's for your own good to conceal the facts for the time being, so let's wait a little longer."

Lou Xiyue: "..." She didn't know how to refute, but after thinking about it carefully, she also thought that what Fu Guan said was reasonable.She said: "But once the matter of Linlang Pavilion is over, I will leave. At that time..."

Fu Guan: "What will happen at that time, then we can discuss it at that time. It is better to take care of more urgent matters at the moment."
