Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 247 The brothers turned against each other and the capital was shocked

"Who said you don't have a chance? Who told you that I came to recruit you on behalf of my eldest brother?" Ling Buyu said pointedly.

"What? What does Marquis Xiangwu mean by this? You?" Lou Ben asked

"Haha, why can't I come here on my own? Can't I just recruit you for someone else? Why is it my eldest brother who is the one doing the wrong?" Ling Buhuo said.

"What? You, you're not here for your eldest brother? Who could that be? Why should I believe you? If this is your plan, wouldn't I be the same?" Lou Ben asked.

"Planning? I'm talking about Lou Ben, do you think too highly of yourself? Apart from being unappreciated for your talent, is there anything else you deserve for me to plot against?"

"As I said just now, you are a cautious person, looking forward and backward, and you really don't have enough strategy. Just think that I came to the wrong place this time and say goodbye!" After Ling Buhuo finished speaking, he stood up and left.

"Please stay, Marquis Xiangwu, please stay. I'm telling you the truth. It's not that I don't want to believe it. It's actually a little unbelievable for a moment. After all, you have always had a close relationship with the former general?" Lou Ben said.

"Haha, I know you are still a little angry. You know who I am. At my current position, my eldest brother can no longer help me."

"In addition, he has been brooding over the old case in recent years. Even if the people involved in that case are found out, His Majesty will not deal with them."

"It can be said that my eldest brother is destined not to get the result he wants, and if these people can't handle it, that means they are all offended. How do you think I should deal with it then?" Ling Buhuo said in a deep voice.

"Marquis Xiangwu, I'm afraid your situation will be worse than mine, but I still don't understand something. Why are you so sure that I can stay in the capital as an official?" Lou Ben bowed and said.

"Haha, of course it's because of His Majesty? You don't really think it's because of His Majesty, do you? Do you think he will trust you?" Ling Buhuo shook his head and said

"What? Your Majesty? Marquis Xiangwu, the more I listen, the more confused I become. Why is there still your Majesty?" Lou Ben said

"Your Majesty doesn't want my eldest brother to continue investigating, so he always wants to find a way to stop him, and the best way is tantamount to my betrayal."

"For my eldest brother, how to deal with me, the traitor, will be his top priority next, because I have done too many things for him over the years."

"There are many things that are not visible to the light. There are too many things that are not enough for outsiders to understand, so naturally he has no time to take care of other things." Ling Buhuo said

"Marquis Xiangwu, there are still some things you haven't said. You came to me today for a purpose. If I guess correctly, the drama of your brothers' rebellion will be staged because of me." Lou Ben said

"Haha, not bad, not bad. He is indeed the person I like. He is indeed smart enough. Yes, I think my eldest brother should be on his way here by now." Ling Buhuo said

"Marquis Xiangwu, you never gave me a chance to choose from the beginning, so why did you tell me so much? You could have said nothing, and I would have made the same choice." Lou Ben said seriously road

"Yes, I can say nothing, but as I said just now, you are a talent and someone I value, so I have said so much to you."

"It's true to use you, and it's true to plot against you, but as long as you pass this level, you will get what you want. How about you, are you satisfied with my answer?" Ling Buhuo said.

After hearing this, Lou Ben didn't say anything for a while, but after a while, he said solemnly, "I think I can, I can bet on this."

"Okay, very good. You really didn't disappoint me. Be careful when acting. Don't miss any flaws, otherwise it won't be fun." Ling Buhuo said

Lou Ben didn't say anything after hearing this, but stood up and bowed. When Ling Buhuo saw this, a smile appeared on his face, and then he stopped talking.

The two of them were not kept waiting for too long. Ling Buyi followed Mr. Lou outside the room not long after.

When Lou Ben saw Ling Buyi. First he was stunned. Then he stood up and saluted his uncle, and then said, "Zisheng, why are you here? Didn't you say it's inconvenient?"

Ling Busuo's expression changed after hearing this, and then he looked at the somewhat panicked Ling Buhuo and said, "Second brother, why did you come to Lou's house today?"

"Huh? Brother, you didn't ask me, uh, brother, it was my fault. I thought you valued Lou Ben's ability, so I did it on my own." Ling Buhuo explained.

"Haha, Ling Zichen, do you think I don't know what you did? First you met Xiao Yuehou, and then you came to the Lou family. What are you planning to do?"

"Are you planning to sow discord between me and the Lou family and hand over the certificate to Xiao Yuehou?" Ling Busuo asked.

"Brother, why did you say this? Why did you say this? Your words are so hurtful. I have been helping you loyally all these years, and now you actually doubt me?" Ling Buhuo said.

"Stop pretending, you met the third prince in private. Do you think I don't know?" Ling Buyi said coldly.

After hearing this, Ling Buhuo's expression suddenly changed. He changed his previous panic and said calmly, "Brother, you are right. I did meet His Highness the Third."

"But so what? If you choose the prince, do I have to choose the prince with you? Can't I have other ideas?"

"Brother, you don't know how many mistakes His Royal Highness has made by indulging the Sun family over the years. Do you think such a Crown Princess will really be able to be a mother to the world in the future?" Ling Buhuo sneered.

"Shut up! How can you discuss the affairs of the Tian family?" Ling Buyi said angrily.

Haha, since today's talk has come to this, I might as well say it bluntly. I feel it is a pity that His Highness the Prince believes in slander and does not know how to use such a person.

"So, I wanted to recruit him for His Highness Third Highness. Unfortunately, I didn't expect you, eldest brother, to come over. Now it seems that this matter can't be done." After hearing this, Ling Buhuo shook his head and said

Lou Ben on the side suddenly changed his expression after hearing this, and said intermittently, "How is it possible, how is it possible? This, this, this is impossible!"

Taifu Lou glanced at him calmly, and then said, "Former General, Marquis Xiangwu, this is my Lou family. If you want to make a quarrel, please go back and make a quarrel. Thank you very much, Lou."

After Ling Busuo heard this, he returned the salute, then glanced at Ling Buhuo, and left with the others. Ling Buhuo showed disdain when he saw this, and then returned the salute politely, and then left.

Taifu Lou waited until both of them had left, then walked up to Lou Ben and said, "Ben'er, I really underestimated you before. I didn't expect that your talent and reputation would actually reach the ears of the third prince. Yes, it's really good." "

"Uncle. Uncle. Listen to me, it's not like this, it's not like this." After hearing this, Lou Ben was so frightened that he denied it repeatedly, but Taifu Lou did not look back at all. Lou Ben sat on the ground with a disappointed look on his face. Wang Yanji came over with some distress and wanted to help her husband up on the ground. Lou Ben was helped up by his wife.

Out of sight of the servants, he winked at his wife. The smart Wang Yanji immediately understood what was going on, and continued to help her husband back to the room with a calm expression on her face.

After returning to the room, the couple's expressions returned to normal.

"Husband, what is going on? How did you do it just now?" Wang Yanji couldn't help but said

"Madam, this is what happened. I was plotted, so I can only agree to Ling Buhuo's conditions. I hope he can really help me." Lou Ben explained

"What? Is this the case? That husband, is he really, really trustworthy?" Wang Yanji said

"Madam, no matter whether he is reliable or not, I will continue to follow him. When he plotted against me, he has already blocked the way out. I have no other way now."

"From my conversation with him, I can tell that he must be telling the truth. After all, he has already killed me, so there is no need to lie to me anymore," Lou Ben said.

"Well, it seems like it's not all bad news this time. Since the prince's uncle is blocking the way, let's change the direction. Maybe we can succeed?" Wang Yanji said

"Yes, it is indeed the case. I think so too. In fact, this is my last chance. If it doesn't work this time, I will have no choice but to seek release." Lou Ben said

"Husband, don't be discouraged. I have a hunch that it will definitely work this time." Wang Yanji encouraged

After Lou Ben heard this, a smile appeared on his face, but his heart did not relax at all. After all, he knew that after today, he would be in trouble.

My eldest uncle will never make it easy for me, and he will be very troubled in the future.

But at this time, as the initiator of all this, Ling Buhuo had no consciousness at all that he had caused a big disaster. Instead, he was very comfortable, drinking tea in the public room of Tingwei Mansion.

Unlike his comfort, as the other party in this drama, Ling Buyi had already entered the palace and arrived in the imperial study.

As soon as Emperor Wen saw him, he said, "Tell me, why is there such a big fuss this time? What on earth are you planning? Come to me and recruit them!"

"Your Majesty, actually, it's nothing. I just want the whole capital to think that I have fallen out with Zichen. The purpose is to let Zichen gain the trust of Xiao Yue Hou." Ling Busuo said.

"You, what do you want me to say about you? In order to investigate a case, you, you even used counterintuitive tactics? You, are you exaggerating?" Emperor Wen said helplessly

"Your Majesty, Xiao Yuehou has a special status. I can't take action against him without evidence, so I can only use this method. As long as Zichen gains Xiao Yuehou's trust, it will be fine?" Ling Buyi asked.

"Hmph, you think things too simply. You said you and Zichen had fallen out. Now that you're in the palace, you naturally want me to remove Zichen from his official position."

"But if he loses his official position, how can Zichen gain the trust of Xiao Yuehou?" Emperor Wen said.

"Your Majesty, I have already thought about this. I will say that everything Zichen did was under your instruction. The purpose is to prevent me from continuing to investigate the case from that year."

"In this way, we can keep Zichen's official position without arousing suspicion. The most important thing is that we can make the people behind the scenes relax their vigilance. It can be said that we kill three birds with one stone." Ling Buyi said.

"You, I didn't expect that, you actually, you actually thought of this step? That's all, then I will simply follow your wishes."

"But please listen to me, this time it won't be the same again!" Emperor Wen said with a serious look on his face.

After hearing this, Ling Busu naturally bowed and seemed to agree. However, the actual situation depends on his mood. In fact, Emperor Wen also knew this, so he did not continue to ask.

Ling Buyi left the imperial study with a solemn expression, and then went directly to the East Palace. Emperor Wen asked Cao Cheng to go to Tingwei's Mansion to find Ling Buhuo.

The prince naturally welcomed Ling Buyi's sudden arrival. After all, he had also heard about what happened in the Lou family, and was about to ask about it when this man came.

"Zisheng, you're here. Sit down quickly. Why don't you look right? Have you hit a wall with your father? This kind of situation is rare. It's really interesting," the prince said

"Your Highness, how can you still laugh? Do you know why Ling Buhuo has the courage? Because it was completely ordered by His Majesty, can you still laugh now?" Ling Buhuo asked.

"What? Father ordered it? This, how is this possible? How could father do it?" the prince said in surprise

"Your Highness, I don't know why your Majesty will do this next time, but your Majesty should be careful. Your Majesty will not do something like this without any reason." Ling Busu reminded.

"Well, I haven't done anything recently? Father, why does he want to beat me? Zisheng, do you know why?" The prince asked

"Well, Your Highness, when Ling Buhuo was at the Lou family, he mentioned the Sun family. Do you think it was because of the Sun family's affairs that His Majesty did it?" Ling Buye said hesitantly.

"What? He actually mentioned the Sun family? Well, Zisheng, although the things the Sun family did are a bit excessive, they shouldn't be questioned by the father, right?" The prince said

After hearing this, Ling Buyi felt more and more disappointed with the prince, but he said on his face, "Your Highness, this is just a guess. Why don't you call Taifu Lou to discuss it later?"

"Well, this is a good idea. I will invite Mr. Lou to ask questions tomorrow." The prince nodded.

"Your Highness, if there is nothing wrong, I will take my leave first. When Taifu Lou comes tomorrow, please help me convey my apology. I was a little rude that day." Ling Buyi said

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Anyone who encounters this kind of thing will inevitably get emotional. Taifu Lou will understand. I will talk to him when he comes tomorrow." The prince said

Ling Busuo bowed after hearing this, then turned and left. When he left, he happened to bump into Ling Buhuo. As soon as the two parties made eye contact, Ling Buhuo knew that everything was done.

Ling Buhuo stopped and bowed respectfully, but Ling Buyi ignored him and left. Ling Buhuo continued to follow Cao Cheng to the imperial study as if nothing was wrong.

When Ling Buhuo arrived at the imperial study, Emperor Wen couldn't help but said, "Zi Sheng has told me that you have gone too far this time, and you still want me to help cover it up?"

"Your Majesty, calm down your anger. Your Majesty, calm down your anger. I have no choice but to do it. After all, your Majesty also knows my eldest brother's temper. I, I am really a little...?" Ling Bu was confused.
