In the Shuntian Mansion Yamen, several people from the Wang Prefecture were still testing Luo Chong with various questions. In fact, they had basically determined that Luo Chong was responsible for Mr. Yuan's disappearance, but they could not produce any evidence. ¡Ê¨J
The current questioning is obviously just delaying time. During this period, Mr. Yuan went out for a trip and came back immediately. Luo Chong could guess that he had sent someone back to ask the Minister of Hubu to come over immediately to put pressure on him.
Sure enough, not long after, an official wearing a python robe burst in from the outside panting. He was less than fifty years old and had already gained weight, but he was either very fat or had a big belly.
"Are you Luo Dong?"
After entering, he looked around, his eyes focused on Luo Chong¡¯s face, and he asked in an unceremonious voice: ¡°Did you kidnap my son?¡±
"It seems like no one said that."
Facing these second-grade officials, Luo Chong did not even stand up to greet him. He just sat there and replied slowly: "At present, they are just suspicions, but there is no evidence."
"evidence?"
Mr. Yuan, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, sneered: "I'm here, so I don't need any evidence! We all know the reason for the matter. Let's talk about how to let my son go and put forward the conditions."
The reason why he can still talk to Luo Chong in a negotiating manner is because he has two concerns: one is Princess Yongning behind him, and the other is his own strength.
????????????????????????????????????????How can this person be simple-minded?
Don¡¯t push her too hard, otherwise, not only will you completely break up with Princess Yongning, but you may even force her to fight to the death, directly endangering your son¡¯s life.
Let¡¯s talk about the conditions. It would be best if we can resolve it through negotiation.
Luo Chong said: "Since Mr. Yuan has said that the cause of the matter is well known, then you should understand what to do to keep Mr. Ling safe and sound."
The meaning of the words is: You can go to the emperor and find any reason to reject this marriage. In that case, I will not bother to kidnap your son.
However, this kind of words can only be hinted at, not stated explicitly, so as not to be caught verbally by the other party.
Lord Yuan suddenly fell into silence, quickly weighing the pros and cons of the matter in his mind. He thought that Luo Chong was negotiating with him on behalf of Princess Yongning.
In other words, it is of great benefit to the Yuan family that the second son becomes the consort. It is equivalent to becoming in-laws with the emperor. It is no longer a simple relationship between monarch and minister, and it is also equivalent to having an extra talisman.
Although it is not easy to be a prince-in-law, and after marrying the princess, he cannot have other women, but the second son of our family is not a lustful person, and he is willing to marry a beauty like the eldest princess. From his side, this marriage It's not even forced.
So for the Yuan family, this is a great event. If we just give up, it will not only anger the emperor, but it will also be a pity in terms of interests.
Luo Chong was able to see through his mental state, so he smiled lightly and said: "What does it mean to be mentally weak? I can't even save my life. I'm still thinking about the benefits. I don't even think about it. If the person is gone, how can we talk about those benefits?"
"Does this mean that this is the only way to go?"
Lord Yuan looked gloomy and asked in a low voice.
"I have no idea."
Luo Chong spread his hands: "You can walk your own way to your home."
"General Luo, the princess always has to get married. Do you think she can protect you for the rest of your life?"
Mr. Yuan¡¯s words are a threat: If you offend me, Mr. Yuan, how long can you stay in the officialdom in the future?
Ministry of Household Affairs, the entire country¡¯s money bag is in my hands. At court, except for the most senior cabinet ministers, who dares not to give me, Mr. Yuan, face?
"You are a fourth-grade general, your backing is just a princess, you are not even the current crown prince, yet you dare to go against me, I really don't understand, what are you thinking?"
"A lifetime?"
Luo Chong replied: "In this situation, Mr. Yuan still thinks that you can be stable for the rest of your life. I don't know whether you have a long-term vision or a short-sightedness."
Then, his eyes turned cold and cold: "In troubled times, force determines everything. Whether I am leading troops to fight or wandering around as a warrior master, I can live longer and more stable than you, no matter what the world becomes. ! What do you think, Mr. Yuan?¡±
Master Yuan¡¯s momentum froze and he was speechless.
Yes, this is what he is most worried about. This Luo Dong is not only a military commander of the imperial court, but also a martial arts master. Even if he loses his official position, he can still live freely and freely in the sky and the sea.The results are not much worse than being an official, maybe even better.
In other words, his so-called official power cannot scare him at all, nor can it scare any martial arts master in the world.
Mr. Yuan has never met other martial arts masters. He said that Su Wancheng didn't even bow to the emperor when he saw him. He came and went, and no one could do anything to her.
And this Luo Dong, there are recent rumors that he may be even more powerful than Su Wancheng.
Mr. Yuan doesn¡¯t have any foundation in martial arts, so he doesn¡¯t know how powerful this person is. I can only say that Su Wancheng doesn¡¯t care about himself as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, but Luo Dong seems to be more qualified.
What a headache!
Xia Yi was banned, and these people of martial arts are so damn!
Seeing that Luo Chong was not looking down on him, Mr. Yuan flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly: "There is no reason to argue with a warrior, I will go to the emperor for comment!"
"I won't send it."
Luo Chong smiled, without even looking at his back, and turned to Magistrate Wang and said, "Master Wang, can I go back?"
The prefect Wang nodded with a cold face.
Luo Chong stood up and said again: "Wang Daran, don't blame me for not reminding you. If there are similar disappearance cases in the future, don't invite me over again. You won't get anything, except for feeling sullen."
Then he added with a sincere face: "This is not sarcasm, but I really sympathize with you. It's really pitiful for you, a third-grade prefect, to be caught in the middle and not make any money."
Then he walked away.
The last sentence really touched the heart of Wang Zhifu, and he also sighed silently: That's right, I would be stupid to invite you again.
That afternoon, Luo Chong was quite calm, and he didn't know what happened in the palace. Anyway, the next morning, Princess Yongning came again. When she saw Luo Chong, she shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Yesterday, my father went to my place. , got angry, threw things, called me an unfilial daughter, and almost beat me. "
"Besides getting angry, what else did you say?" Luo Chong asked with a smile.
¡°I didn¡¯t say much else.¡±
Yongning shook his head gently: "Before leaving, I only said one thing, put Mr. Yuan back, this marriage is cancelled, and you will never interfere with my marriage in the future, but"
But what, needless to say, on the surface it seems that Yongning has won and won his so-called freedom of marriage, but it also means that the relationship between father and daughter has been reduced to the lowest point. The emperor's meaning is obviously: just treat it as There is no daughter like you!
Thinking back on the past, the laughter and laughter of his father, mother, and himself when they were together, Yongning naturally felt very uncomfortable. His mother passed away, and now, he has lost his father's love
"How should I comfort you?" Luo Chong asked warmly.
"Need not."
Yongning shook his head gently: "I don't regret it. After all, I didn't do it for myself."
There is a very deep meaning hidden in this sentence. At the very least, it means: My marriage must have some effect on saving the current situation of the country, so I have been looking for that person.
The country is bigger than the family, and it far exceeds the love between parents.
"Then, let the Second Young Master Yuan go back now?"
Luo Chong didn't care how sad others were and asked with a heartless smile: "Don't worry, if your father goes back on his word, I will tie up Young Master Yuan again, and I will lower his treatment next time and change him to someone who doesn't have shit." Deserted island.¡±
"Desolate island?"
Yongning didn¡¯t quite understand and asked, ¡°Where are you keeping him this time?¡±
"Don't worry about this."
Luo Chong waved his hand: "Anyway, for now, Island Master Yuan is doing pretty well."
Not only that, but Young Master Yuan ate the wrong kind of wild fruit on that island, which resulted in slight poisoning. He had diarrhea and diarrhea and was about to collapse. He was lying on the beach groaning.
Fortunately, he caught a big fish with a fishing net yesterday, and he still has some reserves in his stomach that can be consumed. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to stand up again.
Yongning didn¡¯t ask any more questions and just nodded: ¡°Let him go home. After all, he is considered innocent.¡±
"There are too many innocent people in this world. For him, it might as well be an exercise."
Luo Chong replied: "With this experience, if I hear which princess the emperor wants to marry him in the future, I will probably flee the mainland as soon as possible and choose a more suitable island by myself."
"I do not understand what you're saying."
Yongning was quite exhausted mentally and physically. He wanted to leave, but was still a little reluctant, so he slowly sat down and looked at her with a soft and strange look.Looking at him, he asked in a low voice: "You have scared everyone so much. What if no one dares to marry me in the future?"
What answer does she want to hear?
Anyway, this is not the sentence that came out of Luo Chong's mouth at this moment: "It's not a bad thing to be single all your life. You can have the final say, so you don't have to quarrel with your husband all the time. When your children grow up, they won't be obedient. You won't even listen to who you marry. ¡±
Yongning had just touched the tea cup, and when he heard this, he almost raised it and splashed it on his head.
" However, Her Royal Highness has a strong heart and is not so easily attacked. She has already regarded a certain person as the target of conquest, and she has long expected that there will be considerable difficulties in this process.
A little setback is nothing. Yongning's delicate hand just trembled slightly, then he slowly raised it, took a sip quite gracefully, and then said: "Although you have helped me a lot in this matter, the price However, my father also has a very bad opinion of you, thinking that you are bold, wild and untamable, and not an easy subject to control. "
"The price?"
Luo Chong tapped his fingers lightly on the table: "If he knew the true meaning of the price, he wouldn't have turned the Jin Dynasty into this mess, and everything would be better than it is now."
Yongning didn¡¯t want to endure it anymore, so he asked him following these words: ¡°Then let¡¯s find a way to save it together, okay? I know you can do it, you have the ability.¡±
