The Evil Mistress's Killing Crazy Daily
Chapter 316 Adding fuel to the fire and causing murderous intent
"Master Hua?"
Lu Yitong was startled when he suddenly heard Hua Weiwei's voice.
He quickly suppressed his anxiety and turned around to salute Hua Weiwei, pretending to be calm and explaining, "Actually, I don't really know what's going on.
Just now, I saw Lord Xu Wanchou getting off the carriage, and I was about to go forward to greet him, but he was surprised when he saw me, and he scolded me for being greedy and betraying the Xiao family. He said he was ashamed to be associated with us, and he left angrily. "
"He scolded you?"
Watching Xu Wanchou's carriage go away, Hua Weiwei looked at Lu Yitong in surprise, "Why did he scold you? The Xiao family hasn't said anything about your affairs, so why should he interfere?"
"Master Hua, what you said is wrong..."
Lu Yitong looked mysterious, and lowered his voice to remind Hua Weiwei, "Young Master Hua, don't forget that Xu Wanchou is the grandson of Marshal Xu, and Marshal Xu and General Xiao are old friends.
Even after General Xiao died, wasn't it because of the support of Marshal Xu that Xiao Chongjing became a general?
This is enough to show that the Xu family and the Xiao family have a close relationship..."
"Hiss, now that you put it like that, it does make sense..."
"It makes more than a little sense, doesn't it?"
Seeing Hua Weiwei's mind wavering, Lu Yitong was delighted and hurriedly continued to guide, "Young Master Hua, don't forget that when Master Hua first got into trouble, Xu Wanchou had already defended Xiao Qinyu many times in the Dali Temple's torture chamber.
If I hadn't been so disgusted that I stood up to testify, I'm afraid Xu Wanchou would have used the lack of evidence as an excuse to release Xiao Qinyu long ago.
In my opinion, the Xu family and the Xiao family may not show it on the surface, but they must have a tacit understanding in private, and they have been wearing the same pants for a long time.
Otherwise, why would Xu Wanchou risk offending the Hua family and repeatedly delaying for Xiao Chongjing? Otherwise, why would he ignore Master Hua's funeral today and humiliate me like this? "
"This Xu Wanchou is really abominable!"
"yes……"
Seeing that Hua Weiwei believed in him, Lu Yitong breathed a sigh of relief.
He put his hands behind his back, looked up at the dark blue sky after the setting sun, and sighed helplessly, "Alas, Master Hua, you don't know. I have already made Xu Wanchou dissatisfied when I testified for Master Hua.
A few days ago, as the son-in-law of the Xiao family, I had to go to burn incense for Old Madam Xi. As luck would have it, Xu Wanchou also arrived at that time.
At the funeral of Old Lady Xi, he looked down on me, saying that I had no conscience and that I was a running dog of the Hua family. He felt sorry for Xiao Qinyu and said that Xiao Qinyu's death was unjust.
Now, I even gave up attending my mother-in-law’s funeral for Master Hua’s funeral. If he knew about this, he would naturally look down on me even more…”
"Then you'll just let him scold you?"
Hearing Xu Wanchou being so arrogant and so supportive of the Xiao family, and seeing Lu Yitong being so aggrieved, Hua Weiwei was furious and felt that he was a coward.
"There's nothing we can do. A higher-ranking official can crush someone to death..."
Lu Yitong smiled bitterly and reminded him pointedly, "Young Master Hua is of noble status, so Xu Wanchou naturally wouldn't dare to act presumptuously in front of you, Young Master Hua.
But in front of me...ha, he is my top boss after all, and he has old Marshal Xu as his backer, how can a small Dali Temple official like me fight him?"
"Humph, he has a backer, don't you have one?"
Hua Weiwei let out a cold cry and brought Lu Yitong directly to the banquet in the center of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and came to Jun Yiyan's side.
Signaling everyone who was toasting Jun Yiyan to leave, he simply repeated Lu Yitong's complaint, then said indignantly, "Your Highness, Xu Wanchou is so rampant that he actually forced his way to the door of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and insulted the guests of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. This is really too much!"
"This……"
Holding the wine glass, Jun Yiyan listened quietly to Hua Weiwei's description, thinking back to his impression of Xu Wanchou, and frowned in confusion, "No way, Xu Wanchou doesn't look like a rampant and unruly person..."
“Your Highness…” Seeing that Jun Yiyan didn’t quite believe him, Lu Yitong hurriedly bowed and explained with a face full of grievance: “Your Highness, you are of noble status. In front of you, not to mention Xu Wanchou, a judge of the Dali Temple, even his grandfather, Marshal Xu, probably wouldn’t dare to be presumptuous.
But I am only his subordinate, and my family background is ordinary, so Xu Wanchou naturally behaves differently in front of me.
In fact, he relied on his higher rank, prominent family background, and the support of Marshal Xu to embarrass me more than once..."
"Oh? Then why didn't you say so earlier?"
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, and Young Master Hua have been exhausted recently because of Master Hua's case. How can I bother Your Highness again for such a small matter?"
"Besides..."
Lu Yitong hesitated, lowered his voice, and continued to speak to Jun Yiyan with a worried look on his face: "Your Highness, I heard that Marshal Xu has been a soldier all his life, has great prestige in the army, and is trusted by the emperor.
I am afraid that you might offend him. If he speaks badly to you in front of the Emperor, then…"
"Humph, he's just an old immortal. Would I be afraid of him?"
"Shh..."
Lu Yitong looked terrified and quickly signaled Jun Yiyan to speak in a low voice.
With a look of emotion on his face, he pursed his lips tightly, sighed, and added fuel to the fire in the smallest voice, "Your Highness, I shouldn't have said too much today. It was just that Young Master Hua happened to see me, so I said a few more words...
Don't take it to heart. It's okay for me to suffer a little injustice.
But you must be patient. After all, the relationship between the Xu family and the Xiao family is so close. You never know when they will use their prestige in the army to attack you..."
"Hmph, prestige?"
Seeing Lu Yitong's restrained and frightened look, Jun Yiyan sneered, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, "Oh, so what if the prestige is great? This world belongs to the Jun family, not his Xu family! Those soldiers are the soldiers of the Jun family, not the soldiers of his Xu family.
"He is an old man, how dare he rebel?"
"He may not be capable of rebellion, but Your Highness the Crown Prince..." Lu Yitong lowered his voice and reminded quietly, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, His Majesty has more than one son..."
"What do you mean?"
Jun Yiyan's eyes flashed when he heard this.
"Don't be angry, Your Highness. This is all for your own good." Lu Yitong hurriedly bowed and reminded him in a low voice, "Your Highness, think about it, the Xu family and the Xiao family both have a large number of troops and are very prestigious in the army, but neither of them is on your ship.
And what a coincidence, they were secretly in collusion with each other.
Who knows if there are other princes' ambitions behind this?"
"hiss……"
When Jun Yi Yan heard this, he felt a chill on his back.
Taking a deep breath, he stood up, and under the guidance of Hua Weiwei, took Lu Yitong to a study.
After drinking a cup of tea to calm the chill in his heart, he glanced at Lu Yitong and said slowly: "Then what do you think should be done next..."
