Chapter 153 [Not Simple] (Part 2)
Liu Decheng's face was as beautiful as the earth. If Lan Ximei was surprised to reveal his identity just now, Lan Ximei's words involved the most secret part of the past. It can be said that in addition to Lord Lao Fu and himself, there is only one who knows the inside story about this matter, and it is also the only way for Lan Ximei to learn about this matter.
Luo Lie watched the change. From Lan Ximei's words, he inferred that Lan Ximei's identity was not simple. This woman knew the past of the Qing Palace. When she thought of her powerful Japanese background, she couldn't help but feel shocked. As Lan Ximei's identity, she actually knew the Qing royal family so well. It can be seen that the Japanese forces had already penetrated into China's highest power center. In the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, the two countries had fought one after another, and the Japanese side pressed step by step, forcing China to sign countless treaties that were powerless and humiliating. It is not difficult to explain.
Knowing yourself and your enemy will never be defeated. The Japanese learn Chinese culture, read Chinese military arts, and then impose them on the Chinese nation. Now they are even more arrogant. How can this sleeping lion in China be willing to be humiliated?
Knowing shame only makes one brave. Luo Lie silently thinks in his heart that victory or defeat is common in military affairs. Throughout human history, heroes are not judged by temporary success or failure. Now the Chinese nation has reached the critical moment of life and death, but it is gratifying that more and more people are awakening and starting to fight for the rejuvenation of the country and the survival of the nation.
Liu Decheng laughed and said, "I am willing to believe in the things that catch wind and shadows. The Qing Dynasty has fallen, and we can't remember the things that happened back then."
Lan Ximei said: "It doesn't matter if you can't remember those things clearly, but there is one thing you must remember. After Prince Rui Yixun died, his family was almost hunted down, but in the end someone escaped." She shook a photo in front of Liu Decheng. Luo Lie saw it clearly. The photo was Ye Qinghong.
Liu Decheng covered up very well, with a confused look on his face and looked very confused.
Lan Ximei said, "Do you recognize this person?"
Liu Decheng shook his head.
Lan Ximei put away the pistol. Liu Decheng thought she was going to threaten her again. Unexpectedly, the other party took the initiative to put away the pistol and breathed a sigh of relief. But suddenly, Lan Ximei stretched out her left hand to cover his mouth, and then pulled out a dagger from her waist like lightning, and stabbed it hard on Liu Decheng's thigh. Liu Decheng screamed because his mouth was blocked by Lan Ximei, so his voice was forced back.
Luo Lie did not expect Lan Ximei to take action so quickly. He had already experienced this woman's ruthlessness and was not surprised by Lan Ximei's behavior.
Liu Decheng raised his hand and wanted to grab Lan Ximei's wrist. Before he could touch him, Lan Ximei kicked Liu Decheng's heart and kicked Liu Decheng so hard that she sat on the ground.
Liu Decheng covered his bleeding thighs and wailed: "Kill someone... Kill..."
Lan Ximei pressed against his throat with a blood-stained dagger. Her own bloody smell made Liu Decheng choke and could not speak. Looking at the beautiful girl in front of her, Liu Decheng seemed to have seen a terrifying deathly evil spirit. He looked at Luo Lie and understood in his heart that the two of them came together, maybe the man was more fierce than the woman.
Lan Ximei put Ye Qinghong's photo closer to Liu Decheng's eyes again, and a charming smile rippled on her face: "If you call me again, I will stab you to death with one knife. Look carefully, do you recognize her?"
Liu Decheng was chilling, the muscles on the corners of his lips trembled, and said tremblingly: "She...she is Ye Qinghong...she performed in Lan Kwai Fong, the French Concession in Huangpu, and the red-card singer in Shanghai...Mu Sanye...'s goddaughter..."
Lan Ximei nodded and expressed her appreciation for Liu Decheng's attitude of cooperating: "Since you have spoken, you might as well make it clear, who is Ye Qinghong's true identity?"
Liu Decheng smiled bitterly and said, "Although we have been to Huangpu, we have no contact with this Ye Qinghong. We only know so much about her..."
Lan Ximei said, "There is only so much? Well, that is to say, keeping you has no value anymore." The dagger in her hand slightly passed forward, and the sharp dagger had pierced the skin of Liu Decheng's throat, and a wisp of blood flowed out along his neck. Liu Decheng was frightened and screamed: "I said...I said...she...she is the princess...the princess..."
Luo Lie couldn't help frowning. Unexpectedly, Liu Decheng's bones were so soft. Lan Ximei revealed Ye Qinghong's true identity after a little intimidation. It seemed that Lao Fu's vision was not very good. How could he choose a cordyceps person to be an undercover next to Prince Rui? Then he thought that most eunuchs in the palace were greedy for money and fearing death. Liu Decheng's behavior was not surprising.
Lan Ximei smiled and said, "Prince Rui's daughter?"
Liu Decheng nodded hurriedly, it seemed that he had completely given up on resistance.
Lan Ximei said: "Prince Rui Yixun has visited France and has also met a French lover. His lover is Margaret, right?"
Liu Decheng opened his mouth wide, his face full of surprise. His surprise made him even forget the pain in his body. Lan Ximei's understanding of this matter was far beyond his imagination.
Luo Lie also saw the clues at this time. Lan Ximei had already found out Ye Qinghong's identity and even tracked down the information of Ye Qinghong's mother.
Liu Decheng said: "I...I don't know..."
Lan Ximei smiled and said, "How come you don't know? Yixun trusts you so much. You went to France with him and saw Margar with your own eyes. After Yixun's death, Margar contacted Prince Hong Zaixiang through someone Yixun trusted the most."
Liu Decheng's face had completely lost its blood and turned pale. He didn't know who the other party was, but he was so clear about this past many years ago. He shook his head and said, "I don't know what you are talking about?"
Lan Ximei said: "You must know that only Ye Qinghong is the only one who is kept in the dark. Everything she learned is through Mu Sanshou's mouth. Who is Mu Sanshou?"
Liu Decheng hid his face in the shadow, and despite this, he still couldn't hide the panic in his eyes.
Luo Lie was secretly shocked. It was not difficult to hear from Lan Ximei's words that Mu Sanshou was the planner of all this, and Ye Qinghong was just used by him. Thinking carefully about what happened since he accepted Ye Qinghong's commission, the context of the whole thing began to become clear and clear. Who is Mu Sanshou? Why did he favor Ye Qinghong so much, and what role did he play in the whole incident?
Lan Ximei said, "You don't want to say it, I'll tell you that Mu Sanshou was a companion to Prince Rui Yixun when he was a child. Yixun treated him like a brother. After he grew up, the two of them were in the court and the other was in the world, and the bright and dark. Yixun was doing the open and honest things, and Mu Sanshou did the things that were shameful for him."
Liu Decheng gritted his teeth, fear had already enveloped his heart. He didn't know what channel Lan Ximei learned so much.
In Luo Lie's opinion, everything Lan Ximei said was probably collected through Japan's intelligence network scattered throughout China. Such secret matters would be found by them, which shows that the Japanese side has penetrated into every aspect of domestic society.
Lan Ximei said: "A man is guilty of being guilty of being a treasure. Although Prince Rui Yixun has been smart for a lifetime, he has not understood the simplest truth. Perhaps he had already thought of it, but unfortunately he trusted the people around him too much, so he was assassinated. Yixun had already expected it and made arrangements, but he made the mistake of entrusting it with inhumanity."
Liu Decheng gritted his teeth and said, "What are you talking about?"
Lan Ximei sighed and said, "Is it nonsense? You know best that the person who instructed to get rid of Prince Rui Yixun is Lord Buddha. No one around Yixun could escape the suspicion. You are the biggest among them."
Liu Decheng stared at Lan Ximei like a dead fish. At this time, he stopped refuting because he knew that even if he argued, it would be meaningless.
Lan Ximei said: "After Yixun's death, his wealth moved many people. You have no chance to get this wealth that is as rich as a country, so you joined forces to find Prince Hong Zaixiang, who has always been incompatible with Yixun." At this point, she paused: "I don't know how you do bad things, but I know who gets the benefits in the end."
Liu Decheng's breathing became heavier and heavier, and his heartbeat was getting faster and faster, which showed that he was already extremely frightened.
Lan Ximei said, "Xiao Tianxing, Liu Tongsi, Ren Zhongchang and you, each of you can't escape. If it weren't for the demise of the Qing Dynasty, I'm afraid you wouldn't have such good luck to live to this day. It was already the Republic of China, and you guys would be safe without breaking the rivers, but some people were going to cause a bloody storm."
Luo Lie thought to himself that the person Lan Ximei said was probably Mu Sanshou. If Mu Sanshou had a part in the matter back then, then he would have explained that he had tried to eradicate others in order to keep the secret, but why did he eliminate others but only leave Liu Decheng's life? Isn't Liu Decheng, who is deeply familiar with the inside story, the biggest hidden danger?
Lan Ximei said, "Why didn't Mu Sanshou kill you?"
Liu Decheng's head drooped.
Lan Ximei said, "You still don't want to say it?"
Liu Decheng squeezed out a sentence from his teeth and said, "How do I... know?"
Lan Ximei whispered: "I remember you entered the palace in November of the Gengshen year. In the same year, the Old Summer Palace was burned. The Qing government signed the Treaty of Tianjin and Beijing successively, right?"
Luo Lie felt a sense of admiration for Lan Ximei. Lan Ximei in front of him seemed to have become a different person, lacking the charm and madness of the past, but she had a rare calmness and order. She obviously had a very good understanding of this humiliating history of China. In the Gengshen year, that is, the tenth year of Xianfeng, there were too many humiliating things that happened that made the Chinese nation humiliated.
