The whole family travels through the book, the plot is broken but the characters are not

Qu Yi, the aide to the Third Prince, listened to the chattering of the princes, not knowing whether he was relieved or tired.

He has been in Beirong for eighteen years, and has been with the Third Prince for almost ten years.

These princes were all quite capable in fighting, but they were all stubborn. Although he saved a lot of energy in dealing with them, it was still too much trouble.

Fortunately, there is a smart seventh prince Rong Lin today who knows the focus of today's discussion.

"Third brother, eighth brother, tenth brother, don't get excited yet. We all know about Old Nine's condition a long time ago.

Since we already know that the person who assassinated my eldest brother that day was from Nanlai, it must be related to the Meng family.

Let's discuss how to link this matter to the Seventh Brother and have him executed in front of the Queen."

The third prince, the eighth prince and the tenth prince looked at each other. The seventh prince was smarter than them. After getting rid of the ninth prince, how would the three of them kill the seventh prince?

When Rong Lin saw the look in the eyes of the three brothers, he knew that they were already planning to plot against him before they even killed Lao Jiu, and he was furious.

If he didn't need the help of these three people, he would have slammed the door and left.

Anyway, he was not afraid of these three idiots. Even if they were tied together, they would not pose as much of a threat to him as the threat posed by Lao Jiu alone.

However, the strategist beside the third brother was quite capable. If it weren't for him, the third brother would have died long ago.

Rong Lin looked at Qu Yi with some caution. Fortunately, he was a scholar and had no martial arts skills, so it should not be difficult to kill him.

As soon as Qu Yi got a glance from Rong Lin, he knew that he was being targeted by this poisonous snake.

Pray that his second son will succeed as soon as possible. Working with these idiots who don't even know how to hide their emotions, he feels like he is going to be infected with stupidity.

Rong Lin coughed lightly and acted politely.

"I often hear Third Brother praise Mr. Qu for his resourcefulness. I wonder what brilliant plan he has for this matter?"

"I don't deserve it. But from what I'm saying, this isn't a difficult matter. It's just that it can't be exposed by the princes. The Queen has to investigate it herself."

Tenth Prince Rong Qi interjected in confusion, "What if they find out it has nothing to do with Old Nine? Besides, it's been eight years since the incident. How can we find any clues?"

Qu Yi stroked his beard and chuckled.

"The murder of the eldest prince wasn't necessarily the work of the ninth prince. The Nanlai people those young men from the Wu family mentioned weren't necessarily the assassins from back then.

But back then, it was indeed the Meng family that implicated the Fifth Prince. As long as Queen Meng wanted to investigate, she would definitely be able to find that the Meng family was involved.

As long as the real culprit is not found, the queen will always be suspicious of the ninth prince, and he will never be able to ascend the throne.

What we need to do is make Queen Meng suspicious of the Ninth Prince. Seventh Prince, I'm afraid we'll have to ask those guys in your house for help.

But are they reliable? Are they willing to help?"

Rong Lin thought about the flattering smiles of Wu Jin and Wu Xin when he returned home, and they looked so confident: "What are your plans, sir?"

"I heard that a group of Xiqi merchants came outside the city yesterday..."

Last night, Dalin and Xia Yin got rid of a lot of thieves.

At daybreak, when the two were about to rest, they heard the innkeeper say that someone had come from the Seventh Prince's Mansion.

Lu Yanyan and Lu Fugui looked at each other and guessed what was going on. They both acted overjoyed.

"The Seventh Prince's Mansion? Can we enter Xianzhou?"

The person who came was Rong Shu, the steward of the Seventh Prince's Mansion.

They set out yesterday and saw people from the Ninth Prince's Mansion at the city gate.

According to the plan, Rong Shu ordered the defenders to close the city gates early and found someone to hold the enemy back, so that he could arrive at the inn where the Xiqi merchants were staying earlier.

"The Winter Mu Festival is approaching, and our Seventh Prince wants to find some nice things for the Queen. I heard that Boss Fu has some good things. Take me to see them."

Lu Fugui was excited and was about to take Rong Shu over, but Qin Gang grabbed him.

Qin Gang's face was cautious: "Sir, is this person really from the Seventh Prince's residence? Do you have any proof?"

Rong Lin took out the badge of the Seventh Prince's Mansion with an arrogant look on his face.

Lu Fugui became even more excited.

"Don't blame me, Steward Rong. This is Qin Tou, the leader of our Fu family caravan. He's a bit cautious. We came all the way from Xiqi. If it weren't for him and the other guards, how could my brother and I dare to come to Beirong?"

Rong Lin was not angry. He would have found it strange if this Fu man hadn't asked anything.

While Lu Fugui was taking Rong Lin to see the goods, he took out two gold ingots and handed them over.

"Butler Rong, this isn't our first time in Beirong, but we've never been to Xianzhou, much less the Prince's Mansion, in previous years. We hope Butler Rong can put in a few good words for us in front of the Seventh Prince."

Rong Shu stared at the things in the car, stunned. They were indeed rare items.

"Butler Rong, to be honest, we are businessmen. We came here from thousands of miles away just for higher profits.

The goods we brought can be disposed of in Yongzhou, but the price is still not as high as in Xianzhou. However, I wonder if the Seventh Prince's Mansion can purchase them at the market price?"

Rong Shu sneered in his heart, thinking that businessmen are all short-sighted people.

"Don't worry, Boss Fu. This is a gift for the Queen. My Seventh Prince is a filial son and will never bargain for it. But Boss Fu, please don't ask for too much."

"How dare I? How dare I? I'll first tell Butler Rong about the price. If the palace is willing to accept it, we'll go with Butler Rong. How do you think that is?"

Rong Shu felt a pang in his heart: Damn it, they say southerners are cunning, and it turns out to be true. Xiqi is just like Dayu, neither of them is a good person.

"Boss Fu, the Seventh Prince hasn't seen it yet, so how can we determine the price? Come with me into the city first. If we can't agree on a price, you can sell it in Xianzhou. The price will be better than in Yongzhou."

Lu Fugui's face seemed to relax a little, but he finally said: "I hope that Steward Rong will understand. We have no help in Xianzhou..."

Rong Shu looked at the sky and felt anxious.

But since he had accepted benefits from Lu Fugui, he couldn't scold him casually.

"Boss Fu, you're being overly suspicious, aren't you? How could the Seventh Prince not be tempted by our possessions? Don't worry, the Prince's Mansion is not short of money.

The Seventh Prince is a very approachable person. If Boss Fu can bring some good things here every year, it wouldn't be a problem for the Seventh Prince to make Boss Fu a shipping agent."

Shipping merchants in Beirong can enter and exit Beirong with their certificates. If they really have this identity, it will be much more convenient to do business in Beirong in the future.

An expression of excitement and gratitude appeared on Lu Fugui's face.

He picked out a blue-gray scarf from the cashmere products and handed it over.

"I also ask Steward Rong to speak well of me in front of the Seventh Prince. If this is successful, I will reward you handsomely."

Rong Shu had long set his eyes on the scarf around Lu Fugui's neck. He took it without hesitation and wrapped it around his neck, imitating Lu Fugui's example.

The soft touch is really comfortable.

Rong Shu was very proud. He thought that these transport merchants were just pawns. Whether they could leave Xianzhou alive depended on their own abilities.

After Lu Fugui and his party followed Rong Shu into the city, Qi Ye arrived late with people from the Ninth Prince's Mansion.

When Qi Ye heard from the innkeeper that the Xiqi merchant had gone to the Seventh Prince's Mansion, he felt proud in his heart, but he looked anxious and led people to chase after him.

When Rong Shu received the news from the palace guards, he smiled triumphantly and deliberately slowed down his pace.

When Qi Ye and others caught up with them, Rong Shu just walked to the door of Lianyang Restaurant.

"stop!"

The person who shouted was Rong Lie, the chief guard of the Ninth Prince's Mansion.

Rong Shu said arrogantly, "You are blind! You dare to stop the people from the Ninth Prince's Mansion?"

The other party was even more arrogant than him, pointing at Lu Fugui, Lu Yanyan and their group.

"Get out of here!"

Lu Fugui glanced at Rong Shu nervously.

"Butler Rong, look at this..."

Rong Shu was overjoyed.

"You dare to snatch people from the Seventh Prince's Mansion? You don't want to live anymore. Come on!"
