Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Not to mention that being an emperor is a job that makes one exhausted every day, Wei Wu has no interest in it at all.

Even if he really wanted to be emperor, with the system at his disposal, he wouldn't need the so-called imperial seal.

However, although he had no interest in being emperor, Wei Wu understood something from Han Yao's words.

This guy doesn't want to be a rich man, but instead chooses to join the White Lotus Sect.

I'm afraid he had this plan in mind, but now that his life is at stake, he has changed the protagonist to himself.

After coming to this conclusion, Wei Wu just wanted to laugh.

This guy really thinks conquering the world is too simple. It is not so easy to sit on the throne.

As a prince, Zhu Di had both fiefdoms and troops, but he was only able to succeed in the Jingnan Rebellion by sheer luck.

Han Yaoming had no legitimate reason to do so, and he actually wanted to use the White Lotus Sect, a motley crowd, to rebel.

If the White Lotus Sect really had that ability, they would have overthrown the Ming Dynasty long ago. Would it be Han Yao's turn?

To be honest, Wei Wu originally thought that Han Yao had some ability, after all, he had caused him to suffer such a big loss.

Now it seems that if Han Yao really has such a fantastic idea in his mind.

That only shows that this person has only a little cleverness but no great wisdom, let alone vision and pattern.

After complaining a few words in his heart, Wei Wu neither agreed nor rejected Han Yao's proposal.

He just asked a simple question after Han Yao finished speaking.

"First, tell me when and where you saw the Imperial Seal, and where is it now?"

Hearing Wei Wu's question, Han Yao began to feel troubled.

He had indeed seen the imperial seal, and he had seen it before he joined the White Lotus Sect.

It was for this reason that he chose to give up all his property to join the White Lotus Sect.

Because the person who originally held the imperial seal was a member of the White Lotus Sect.

And according to his guess, if nothing unexpected happens, the imperial seal is in the hands of True Man Bai Lian.

However, this information is his trump card to save his life. If he tells it now, he will have no chance of survival.

However, he saw the murderous intent gradually growing in Wei Wu's eyes.

Han Yao understood that if he didn't speak out, the final result would still be death.

After hesitating for a while, Han Yao finally spoke.

"A few years ago, I don't remember the exact date, but I saw the Imperial Seal in Yangzhou City."

"How did you see it? And you haven't answered me yet, where is the Imperial Seal now?"

As soon as Han Yao finished speaking, Wei Wu immediately continued to ask questions.

But this time Han Yao did not give an answer immediately, but brought the topic back.

"Lord Changle, do you have the ambition to conquer the world?"

"no!"

This time Wei Wu gave a very clear answer.

Hearing this, Han Yao sighed inwardly.

If Wei Wu had that intention, he would still have value in living.

But now that Wei Wu refused so bluntly, it would be difficult for him to survive.

"If I tell you everything I know, will Lord Changle promise to let me live?"

Although Han Yao knew in his heart that even if Wei Wu made a promise, its credibility would not be high.

But he has no choice now, this is the only way to go.

However, the last bit of hope in Han Yao's heart was wiped out by Wei Wu's simple two words.

"No."

"If that's the case, then what if I don't seek my life, but instead trade the Imperial Seal for a promise from Earl Changle?"

Hearing this, Wei Wu's face showed a hint of interest.

"Tell me first, and then I'll decide whether to agree to it."

"I'll use this clue to the imperial seal in exchange for Earl Changle's promise to destroy the Kong family one day."

To be honest, Wei Wu was quite surprised by Han Yao's request.

But if you think about it carefully, it actually makes sense.

After all, the Kong family played an indispensable role in the Lu family's downfall and the extermination of their family property.

If Lu Yi had not been instigated by the Kong family, he probably would not have had such ambition.

Seeing that Wei Wu did not give an immediate answer, Han Yao could only speak again:

"Some time ago, the students from the capital broke into the Earl's mansion. I believe Earl Changle also knows who was behind it."

"The Kong family even dared to interfere in the succession of imperial power. There is nothing in this world that this daring family dares not do."

"Now, you are regarded as a thorn in their side. In order to kill you, even I, the one who is about to be silenced, can cooperate."

As he spoke, Han Yao seemed to have become a different person, returning to the calm state he had when Wei Wu first met him.

He picked up the teacup on the table, played with it in his hands, and continued:

"The Kong family's followers are spread all over the world. If we don't eradicate them as soon as possible, I'm afraid there will be countless troubles in the future."

"As the saying goes, a thief can steal for a thousand days, but you can never be on guard against thieves for a thousand days. Only by striking first can you rest easy in the future."

"If you have concerns about taking action, the White Lotus Sect is your best helper. We can eliminate the Kong family without getting into trouble."

After hearing Han Yao's words, Wei Wu's first reaction was that his plan had been leaked.

Otherwise, why would the method Han Yao came up with be exactly the same as what he had in mind!

But after thinking about it carefully, Wei Wu felt that it was impossible.

Because he only told Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao about his plan against the Kong family.

Regardless of the seriousness of the matter or considerations for Wei Wu's safety, they could not let the news leak.

Then, Wei Wu could only think of one possibility, and Han Yao himself had the same idea in mind.

With this in mind, Wei Wu asked tentatively.

"You originally planned to use this method to deal with the Kong family?"

"That's right!"

Han Yao gave the answer without hesitation, and then continued to ask:

"Then, is Lord Changle willing to make this promise to me?"

"It's not impossible, but before that you have to answer a question for me."

As he spoke, Wei Wu's eyes narrowed, and he looked directly into Han Yao's eyes and continued:

"You set up a series of traps in Yangzhou, first burning down Songbai Tower and causing your double to nearly perish in the flames in order to gain Shen Lin's trust."

"Then you used Shen Lin and the others to pass the message to the capital, luring me to Yangzhou and stepping into the deadly trap you set."

"But as far as I know, when you sent Master Zheng to contact Hu Fan to discuss cooperation, my people hadn't even arrived in Yangzhou City yet."

"How did you know Shen Lin and the others would come to Yangzhou? How did you conclude that they were my people and deliberately lured me here?"

Having said that, Wei Wu's tone became low and cold.

"Don't tell me you have the ability to predict the future."
