After hearing this, Lu Xiao pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh, then I would like to thank you for your kindness, Commander."
After saying this, he turned to the remaining officials.
"My Lords, are you also here to escort Lu?"
The others immediately nodded and said, "That's right, that's right. Lord Lu, please understand."
This is Nanqingguan.
His face changes faster than turning the pages of a book.
However, Lu Xiao knew that using these leverages to force everyone to retreat today might seem like a step forward, but in reality, it would also lay the groundwork for huge consequences in the future.
Because if this happens, his reputation as an official will be completely ruined.
In the future, he will definitely be targeted by many officials in the court.
This is not what Yue Yi (I) wanted.
So, this matter still needs to be remedied.
As the saying goes, if you hit a guy with a powerful sword, he will give you a sweet date.
Now that the slap has been delivered, it's time to eat the sweet dates.
As for whether or not everyone can eat these sweet dates, that depends on their own abilities.
Lu Xiao then said, "My Lords, please do not blame me for being so arrogant today. Although I do have some selfish motives in not handing over Si Lili, it is also for your own good. As you have said, this case has far-reaching implications. If I really hand Si Lili over to you, I will actually harm you."
“Yes, yes, yes.”
The officials naturally didn't believe it, but they still said it with a smile.
Lu Xiao continued, "I know you all don't believe me. (Zhao Lihao) Since that's the case, I'll explain it to you all here today."
After saying this, he looked at Si Lili in his arms.
"Tell everyone here, who is the mastermind behind the Niulan Street assassination?"
Everyone was stunned by these words.
Even Fan Xian behind Lu Xiao was the same.
No one expected that Lu Xiao would actually announce this matter in public.
"This shows my sincerity. I can guarantee that Si Lili will not lie in what she says next. After hearing this, if you still want to continue investigating this case, I will not stop you."
Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, Lu Xiao looked at Si Lilici with encouragement.
Si Lili, who had already completely surrendered to Lu Xiao, spoke without hesitation, even though she didn't know what his intentions were.
"The mastermind behind the Niulan Street assassination is Lin Gong, the second son of your country's Prime Minister Lin family."
When these words came out, the whole audience was in uproar.
Chapter 136 King Bomb
"The mastermind behind the Niulan Street assassination was none other than Lin Gong, the second son of your country's Prime Minister Lin family."
As Lin Gong's name appeared, the field instantly became silent.
The officials, headed by the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, immediately began to sweat profusely.
They didn't expect that the truth would be this.
Finished!
This is completely over!
That's the prince who is the head of all officials.
Anyone who can become an official in Kyoto City is not a fool.
Everyone quickly figured out why Lin Gong wanted to assassinate Fan Xian.
Because he is a princeling.
Because the prince did not want the power of the inner treasury to fall into Fan Xian's hands.
Everyone had anticipated that this case would involve a wide range of people.
But I didn't expect it to be so widespread.
A prince and a prime minister.
They can't offend any of them.
Even among the many officials present today, there are many members of the Prince's Party and the Prime Minister's Party.
As for whether Lu Xiao would tell lies.
Everyone can naturally tell the difference clearly.
This is most likely true.
Because on this issue, Lu Xiao had no need to lie.
Even if we take a step back,
He wouldn't have the guts to frame Lin Xiang.
After all, offending Lin Xiang is much more serious than offending them.
Seeing that everyone was silent for a long time, Lu Xiao finally spoke.
"My Lords, you should now understand my earnest intentions. Now I have a question for you: do you still want to take over Si Lili?"
Everyone shook their heads subconsciously.
Now the way they looked at Si 383 Lili was no longer a credit.
It's an extremely hot potato.
The kind that could burn someone to death.
Only someone with a mental problem would take over this difficult situation at this time.
"Thank you, Lord Lu. I will remember your kindness today."
The Minister of Justice said immediately.
The reason he spoke so quickly was because he was neither a member of the Prince's Party nor a member of the Prime Minister Lin's Party.
He is a member of the Second Prince Party.
If this matter only implicated the Crown Prince, he would certainly be very happy.
But it’s different with forests.
Even if the Second Prince came in person, he would probably choose to watch from the sidelines.
As for the others, their reactions were slightly slower than his.
But it didn't slow down for long.
"Thank you, Lord Lu."
At this moment, everyone had completely forgotten the unhappiness in their hearts.
At this time, Lu Xiao smiled and said, "That's good. I have official business to attend to, so I won't chat with you today. Farewell."
The officials immediately made way.
Then Lu Xiao, holding Si Lili in his arms, rode back to the Inspection Office with a swagger.
Let's settle Si Lili down first.
Now he has complete control over the place.
Unless a large army is mobilized, no one can take Si Lili away from here.
After doing all this, Lu Xiao finally found Fan Xian.
On the way back, Fan Xian felt like he had lost his soul.
Didn't say a word.
Lu Xiao knew what he was struggling with.
Lin Gong is Lin Wan'er's brother, and Lin Wan'er is his sweetheart.
Although there was something wrong with their meeting.
But this didn't stop Fan Xian from feeling uncomfortable.
He wanted to avenge the death of Old Zhang, but he also didn't want his beloved to be sad.
That's why he became like this.
"Fan Xian, stop daydreaming."
Lu Xiao shouted.
Fan Xian finally came to his senses.
The first sentence was: "What Si Lili just said wasn't true, was it?"
Lu Xiao asked, "What do you think?"
Fan Xian still wanted to find an excuse: "But why did Lin Gong want to kill me?"
Lu Xiao said, "Because his father doesn't want Lin Wan'er to marry you, because the eldest princess doesn't want Lin Wan'er to marry you, and because the crown prince doesn't want Lin Wan'er to marry you. Do you understand?"
This time, Fan Xian was finally desperate: "Treasury, wealth, power."
Lu Xiao said, "That's right. At least that's what the Princess and the Crown Prince think."
"I don't need the power over the inner treasury," Fan Xian said.
Lu Xiao smiled and said, "That's not up to you. His Majesty wants you to take over the inner treasury's financial power, and you have no right to refuse."
"Why, why does it have to be me? I don't understand."
Fan Xian really couldn't understand it.
Because the emperor is your father.
Of course, Lu Xiao definitely couldn't say this.
"Whether you understand or not is irrelevant. Just remember this: since His Majesty has issued the order, there is absolutely no other possibility." Lu Xiao said.
Fan Xian smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think there's still a chance for me and Lin Wan'er now? Or do you also think that Old Zhang is just a horse, a master of the second or third degree, a master of the third or fourth degree, a master of the fourth degree, a master of the fifth ...
Ever since meeting Lu Xiao, Fan Xian has actually considered him a close friend.
"I know what you're trying to say," Lu Xiao said. "But you also have to recognize that in this world, he's just a stable boy. People like him die every day, more than you can imagine. Even if you risk everything to avenge one Old Zhang, what about the other Old Zhangs?"
This is indeed very cruel.
But that's the truth.
"I, I"
Fan Xian didn't know what to say.
Lu Xiao patted his shoulder gently and said, "Alright, you should go back and think about it carefully. Figure out what you really want. Don't get involved in Lin Gong's affairs. We're old friends. I'll handle it for you this time. But let me make it clear, this is the third favor you owe me, and you'll have to repay it later."
Exposing Lin Gong as the mastermind in public wasn't just Lu Xiao's idea.
But he had planned it before he came to Beijing.
Lu Xiao has his own calculations.
Therefore, at this time, he did not want Fan Xian to ruin his plans.
After all, according to the original trajectory, Fan Xian finally decided to risk everything for revenge.
But he was stopped by Wuzhu.
Finally, Lin Gong died at the hands of Wu Zhu.
But this time, Lu Xiao didn't want Lin Gong to die like this.
Such a death is truly a waste.
At the very least, we must squeeze out all the surplus value from it.
That's why he said this to Fan Xian.
