Chapter 154 153. Extramarital Affair
When Lan En came out of Xiu Fu’s rented house, it was still dark.
His questions were prepared in his mind with Mentos, and he was able to pull out the main information cleanly.
Before leaving, Lan En gave Xiu Fu another shot of [Yaxi Sign], making him think that this was just a vague nightmare.
He won’t be able to remember clearly until tomorrow, and he will live his life as usual, preparing to participate in the martial arts tournament.
The current situation is that the enemy is in the dark and we are in the clear. Lan En doesn't want this guy to show a tangled expression of 'I've leaked the secret, am I going to die?' wherever he goes.
It seems that he is afraid that others will not know that someone has been looking for him.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Lan En did not return to the Red Castle in time, but instead headed to Steel Street.
He wanted to learn Tob Mott's knowledge of Valyrian steel along the way.
The basic home of a blacksmith in this era was the storefront.
When Lan En arrived at the blacksmith shop he had just visited during the day, he easily found the master blacksmith.
Then put a [Yaxi Seal] on him.
His will was worse than that of a monk. He didn't even need to guide his emotions in advance. In the confusion of his sleep, he started bragging about his craftsmanship.
Lane and Mentos made written and audio recordings to ensure a complete record of the spells and techniques for forging Valyrian steel.
"Sir, these technologies cannot create Valyrian steel. They can only be recast on existing steel."
"I know, but based on this knowledge, I believe it should not be difficult to complete a complete forging spell with Rita's magic level."
"Sir, then I guess you have to give Margaery Ms. Ta is paired with a very skilled blacksmith.”
“Berengar, didn’t that guy always say he wanted to open a blacksmith shop? He must have some skills after living for hundreds of years.”
Seeing that Lan En actually had everything sorted out, Mentos stopped talking.
Tob Mott’s skills were shrouded in mystery and kept secret when he usually boasted about them.
But like most technologies, crossing the threshold only requires a few key words.
Lan En got an awkward spell from him, as well as two temperature nodes and duration. The technology for reforging Valyrian steel is now available.
When Lan En returned to the gate of the Red Castle again, the sky was in the darkest period before dawn.
The small door embedded in the main door of the Red Fort had been closed but unlocked when he left.
As long as you don’t pull it intentionally, you won’t see the problem.
It's convenient for him to go back now.
The guards of the Red Castle still looked like they were working hard, which made Lan En's night walk as easy as going home.
When he returned to the Prime Minister's Tower and took off his insecure black leather clothes in the room, Ed came to the door with a candle.
"It seems that you haven't slept all night? Then cheer up during the day to avoid being discovered."
Lan En welcomed Ed into the room, and the two of them sat on the chairs in the room. Take a seat.
"This is related to the truth about my adoptive father's death. It's impossible for me to sleep."
While speaking, Ed's throat was obviously choked and his eyes were red.
It seems that his relationship with the former Prime Minister is really good.
"I'll tell you the truth." Lan En leaned on the chair and said softly.
"Shuf also believed that the Lannister was responsible. He claimed that the former Prime Minister died of a 'curse', and that the Lannister family had tried to stop him from checking something many times before. No. The healthy old man died of acute gastrointestinal disease overnight. This frightened Xiu Fu. Is this what your information said? "
Ed nodded heavily, "Robert had already asked the maester to check it many times at that time, and it was confirmed that it was gastrointestinal disease." Lan En nodded, with no abnormal expression on his face.
“But I still think it’s just caused by a rare and expensive drug, a ‘curse’. If you really want to master it here, why use it on an old man? ?”
“In addition.”
At this point, Lan En looked at Ed with a strange expression.
This expression even made the Hand of the King a little confused.
“According to Xiu Fu, the reason why he was not taken away by Mrs. Lysa, your sister-in-law, is that he vaguely knew something about Mrs. Lysa’s extramarital affair.”
Ed's expression changed from grief to shock under this news.
The process of change made Lan En want to laugh a bit if he said something less moral.
It is hard to imagine that Ed Stark, a man as cold and serious as a glacier rock, would show such an expression.
"Who is this Lysa?"
"Petyr Baelish, 'Littlefinger', Chancellor of the Exchequer. I don't know this person, it was all mentioned by the monk. He is called by his position. Look, you should have seen him at the imperial meeting."
Lan En shrugged, not thinking it was a big deal.
After all, the absurd and excessive living habits of the nobles are well known to everyone, so Lan En thought this was just another joke.
But as Ed's expression gradually became serious, there was also a hint of absurdity mixed in.
The witcher's feeling told Lan En that he seemed to have unintentionally dug up some powerful information.
Think about the people Ed met during the investigation, and the answer is readily apparent.
"I said, this can't be that" At this time, even Lan En's expression became a little shocked.
“That ‘person obsessed with his wife’, right?”
After a long silence, Ed nodded with a cold face.
"Wow, this is really true." Mr. Lan, a simple young man from the countryside, clapped his hands gently in amazement and was speechless.
"I have been investigating for a long time, and the people who help you are all guys who can't be trusted?!"
The warning from the adoptive father's widow was an important reason for Ed to become prime minister. As a result, the widow He's having an extramarital affair.
The finance minister who was said to be ‘trustworthy’ by his wife was the man who had an extramarital affair with his adoptive father’s widow.
The Prime Minister suddenly felt that he had been treated like a fool the whole time he came to King's Landing!
Even in his current angry mood, Ed believed that these two people were more suspected of murder than Lannister!
But wait for him to take a few deep breaths and calm down.
He knew that the main enemy at present was still the Lannister family where the queen belonged.
In the final analysis, the former Prime Minister was silenced because he discovered something appalling. There is no need to do this for a simple extramarital affair.
“Baelish invited me to walk around the royal courtyard this morning and said he had any information for me.”
Ed told Lan En about today's schedule.
It can be seen that he now relies a little on Lan En's judgment.
"Then listen to what he wants to reveal to you. By the way, no one will notice my actions today, so I hope your acting skills can be better."
"Acting skills?" The serious and stubborn northerner pursed his lips, "I, let me try."
