One hundred and forty-six: Negotiation
There is no normal parent in the world who does not love their children.
The reason why Yuan Dong is not close to the two children is not because he doesn't want to, but because he can't.
The eldest princess of Chang'an looked down on him, and she never liked to let him get too close to the child.
Yuan Hongwen liked to sleep in flowers and willows before, and he was also in charge.
But the eldest princess of Chang'an always likes to come with him, and she doesn't save face for him in front of the child, saying that he is not good here or there, and sneeringly accuses him of not being qualified to discipline the child.
Children are always closer to their mothers.
came and went, Yuan Hongwen and Yuan Sheng were not very close to him, and they did not respect him as a father.
But despite this, he didn't want to watch his children have an accident.
Yuan Dong sorted out his thoughts, sat up straight, looked at Shen Chen, and said silently and calmly: "What do you want, just say it directly." ”
There is one thing that Shen Chen is right, that is, the ambition of the eldest princess of Chang'an is really not good for the children.
It is true that there are countless positions of power from the success of the dragon's work, but what if it fails?
Even death is not enough to apologize.
He couldn't just watch the children jump into the fire pit and remain indifferent.
Shen Chen smiled knowingly, stretched out his hand and handed him a note: "Although it is said that husband and wife have been separated for a long time, but there is a saying that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, I think it is not difficult for you to listen to the news of the eldest princess's mansion?" ”
Yuan Dong stretched out his hand to take a look, and found that it was a roster of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and his eyes deepened.
"Here's another copy." After Shen Chen finished speaking, he took out another thin piece of paper from his sleeve and gave it to him: "What is written on this is another roster, the roster of the master of the Xiao family." ”
The roster of the Xiao family?
Is it someone from Xiao Pony's side?
He glanced at Shen Chen with some incomprehension: "What do I want these for?" ”
Although the Xiao family is Chu Jingxing's people, he is not close to the eldest princess of Chang'an to the point of having a deal, what is the use of him taking the Xiao family's roster?
"Useful." Seeing through his thoughts, Shen Chen stood up: "There are so many people in the Xiao family, I have checked with Lin Sanshao, and a few people have not been arrested." ”
Does it mean that there are fish that have slipped through the net?
And then what?
Yuan Dong didn't understand: "Even if that's the case, what does this have to do with me?" ”
"Of course it does." Shen Chen's answer was also fast: "The number of people from the Xiao family caught by the Criminal Department is right, but some of them are Li Ghosts, not Li Kui." Among these people, there is one named Xiao Mingyu. ”
Yuan Dong hummed and listened carefully.
Shen Chen said: "Xiao Mingyu is the eldest grandson of the Xiao family's big house, and he has always been the person who contacted Chu Jingxing in the Xiao family. He escaped, either arranged by Chu Jingxing, or he made his own preparations. But without exception, no matter which possibility it is, the eldest princess of Chang'an and Chu Jingxing will definitely take precautions and find out his whereabouts. If so, please let me know. ”
Yuan Dong reacted and frowned: "What do you mean, do you want me to go back to the princess's mansion?" Can this save Hong Wen and Ah Sheng? ”
The sky outside was completely dark, and through the window, I could vaguely see someone stepping on a stool to light the lantern under the eaves of the porch, and the light that was clearly extinguished penetrated into the window, Shen Chen blinked and snorted. As a matter of course, he faced Yuan Dong's astonishment: "This is natural, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger." You are a colt, isn't it a matter of course to live back in the eldest princess's mansion? ”
Yuan Dong was a little angry: "I have fallen out with her, how can I move back?" Besides, even if I go back, what role can it play? He tugged at the corners of his mouth mockingly: "Do you think she will let me participate in it?" ”
Shen Chen ignored his anger and continued to wait for him to calm down before saying, "How to go back openly, it's not something I have to worry about." I'm here to make a deal with you. It's done, our palace can not be dragged down by Chu Jingxing, and completely eradicate the chess pieces in Chu Jingxing's hands who don't listen to the king's call, and you can also let your children live in peace. This is originally a transaction, and since it is a transaction, it is natural to pay some due price, don't you say? ”
Isn't it?
Yuan Dong swallowed his saliva, looked at the young man in front of him, who was like a green pine, and was silent for a long time before he raised his head and asked, "Then what do you pay?" ”
"I've already said it, I've inquired about all these things." Shen Chen leaned over to look into his eyes and said word by word: "Moreover, I will also look at Chu Jingxing and the eldest princess of Chang'an next." ”
Yuan Dong was a little puzzled.
Shen Chen thoughtfully answered his questions: "You know what kind of person your former wife is." And I know Chu Jingxing's personality better, it doesn't matter to him to hit him again and again, it's better for him to vent, and it's the most terrible thing for him to endure like this. ”
Yuan Dong understood: "So you want me to listen to the news?" ”
Shen Chen snorted: "This is not difficult for you, and it is not impossible to do it." I know that although the eldest princess of Chang'an doesn't look down on the Yuan family, she is not without people who ----- your brother, and she looks up to it very much, since your brother died, she has reused many of your brother's henchmen in order to make up for it. These people, you must be in control. ”
Yuan Dong was silent, obviously acquiescing.
Shen Chen sat down and looked at him, and said seriously: "No one knows what Chu Jingxing will do after he is like a wild horse that has escaped, if you don't want Hong Wen and the Xianrong County Lord to die, you can help me once." This is not just to help me, but also to help yourself and the Yuan family. ”
Yuan Dong closed his eyes tightly, and only after a moment did he ask again: "How will I contact you in the future?" ”
If you go back to the princess's mansion, I'm afraid it won't be so simple to pass on the news.
The eldest princess of Chang'an has always been a cautious person, and the princess's mansion is her world.
Shen Chen smiled: "Don't worry, you may be being monitored because you don't move freely, but Hong Wen is not." ”
"Hong Wen?!" Yuan Dong was a little excited, clenched his fists and refused to agree: "You can't involve him!" ”
"I can only involve him!" Shen Chen was unmoved, sighed and looked at Yuan Dong in front of him tightly, and said in a deep voice: "Only him, no matter what he does, he is free, and he will not be suspected by the eldest princess." He is the only one who can get as close to the eldest princess of Chang'an as possible, not to mention that he is not small, you didn't teach him before, it is better to teach him from now on, little by little, sooner or later, he will have to be self-reliant, isn't it? ”
Yuan Dong frowned and didn't move, he was inclined to cooperate with Shen Chen in his heart, after all, every key that Shen Chen said was stepped on his heart.
