Contract Prince

"Gu Wei's son, Gu Yunjing?" Huangfu Yun's face turned cold, "He can fight against Zhao Wang and his ilk? It seems that this person is really not simple."

He immediately became interested in Gu Yunjing.

"Feiqing, how much do you know about him?"

Qu Feiqing replied truthfully: "Because this person is very special, so I sent someone to inquire about his details. He is only nineteen years old. Although he is the son of a general, he is very weak. He is from the capital city. He came from a noble family, but he does not have the demeanor of a dandy at all. Now that he is a consort, he is very approachable. The ministers of the court spoke highly of him, gentle and elegant, and unparalleled in strategy. Now that Xiao Zhan is in power, the court treasury banker The theft case has been given full responsibility to him."

Huangfu Yun was a little surprised, "He's only 19 years old? This is beyond my expectation."

"Gu Wei is the commander-in-chief of the army and horses. He holds great power and has a certain appeal in the court. If the emperor is still awake, his military power will definitely be disintegrated. You don’t have to worry about being suspected.”

"Gu Wei is fighting ahead to protect the country of Xiao, and his son Gu Yunjing is so resourceful, so it's no wonder that Xiao Zhan can make a comeback and beat Xiao Cong." Huangfuyun's eyes showed a fierce look, "It seems that the Gu family Father and son will be our greatest enemies in the future, and must be eradicated!"

In recent days, after Qu Feiqing inquired about Gu Yunjing's deeds, she also felt a certain amount of fear towards this strange son-in-law.A 19-year-old boy was able to help Xiao Zhan stabilize the situation, which shows how strong his wrist is and how deep his city is.Invisibly, Concubine Qu has already regarded Gu Yunjing as a strong enemy.

She felt the same way: "Master's words are true. Now that Gu Weiyuan is in the frontier, we can't do anything to him, but his son Gu Yunjing is still in the capital, so we can do something to him. Do you want to send those secret agents from the Wanchun Tower?" Wei is going to kill him?"

"No." Huangfu Yun shook his head abruptly, "Do you think that this kind of weak and resourceful person will not be accompanied by guards with strong martial arts? Otherwise, according to Xiao Cong's thoughts, he probably sent him a long time ago. Countless shadow guards have gone to assassinate Gu Yunjing. If we act rashly, we will only expose more flaws, and we cannot make extra troubles at this juncture."

Concubine Qu's gaze hesitated, and she said hesitantly, "So what does Master mean?"

Huangfu Yun said: "Gu Yunjing helps Xiao Zhan, Xiao Zhan relies on Gu Yunjing, the relationship between the two of them is one of both prosperity and loss. When Xiao Zhan steps down, Gu Yunjing will also lose power, so it will be easy to get rid of him A lot. Don't you forget, there are people out there who want him dead more than us."

Certain people Huangfu Yun mentioned were of course King Zhao Xiao Cong and Hussar General Qin She.

Concubine Qu is intelligent, she is naturally the kind of person who knows everything.She asked: "Master, do you want to cooperate with Xiao Cong and the others? But we have been in the dark, and the Wanchun Building is just a place to hide people's eyes. Not many people know our specific whereabouts. If we cooperate with Qin She and the others, wouldn't it be exposed?"

"The cunning rabbit is a dead dog, and the bird is a good bow. Even if we help Xiao Cong defeat Xiao Zhan and let him ascend the throne, according to his temperament, he will definitely not give us a good life."

Huangfu Yun's voice was cold: "Is Xiao Cong the only one who wants to ascend the throne?"

Concubine Qu has been dormant in Wanchun Building for so many years, she learned about the situation of the court from the princes and ministers, among the several princes, except for the third prince Kang Wang Xiao Lian, the other three princes are extraordinary.Xiao Cong is Xiao Zhan's apparent enemy, while Duan Wang Xiao Yang is Xiao Zhan's secret enemy.

Therefore, Concubine Qu naturally thought that Huangfu Yun wanted to cooperate with Xiao Yang, and she said, "Xiao Yang is weak and ambitious, and he doesn't have a backer like Qin She, so we don't have to worry about what will happen to him when things happen. What to do to us. It would be nice to work with him."

Huangfu Yun glanced at Concubine Qu, "You underestimate Xiao Yang, he has more thoughts than Xiao Cong, among the princes, although he is young, the city is not so deep. So this kind of person is not a good pawn , the person I want to cooperate with is the emperor's third son Kang Wang Xiaolian, he has no rights and brains, he is the best puppet candidate."

"If those people from Heifengzhai are recruited, they can just be ordered by the third prince."

Qu Feiqing felt that Huangfuyun was setting up a big picture, a big picture that she couldn't guess.

Huangfuyun looked at her slightly confused eyes, and said: "You go down first, as a teacher, you have to think carefully about the specific matters. By the way, I suddenly thought of a very strange question, what's happening with Lu Lin recently? And where is Yu Liang, the steward of the Lu Manor you mentioned earlier?"

Concubine Qu said: "I've had someone inquire about it. Lu Lin was sick and never went to court. Perhaps the matter of his son's execution brought him a huge blow."

"As for Yu Liang." When Concubine Qu mentioned Yu Liang's name, she gritted her teeth with hatred, "This thing that crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, originally agreed to cooperate with us last time, but it changed its mind halfway and threatened me instead, so I I don’t think this person can stay. I was too busy making explosives to spare, so now I plan to send someone to assassinate him.”

Huangfu Yun nodded: "A person with two hearts must not leave this matter behind. You should do it as soon as possible. You'd better do it neatly!"

…………

In the evening, Xiao Muxue brought someone back from the knife shop.After returning, Gu Yunjing hurriedly asked her about things.

Xiao Muxue told the son-in-law about the investigation of the knife shop.

Gu Yunjing listened intently, fearing that she might miss some clues, she asked: "Is there anything wrong with the knife market? Is there something wrong with our speculation? Or are these criminals who are too cautious and have already I was worried that things would be exposed, so I didn't go to the knife market to buy a lot of weapons."

Gu Yun thought for a while and then said: "Although there is no abnormality found in the knife market, I always feel that the imperial court should regulate this kind of weapon trading. It is good for the common people to buy a small amount of weapons privately. If there is a large amount, it will definitely affect the court's security. Threat. I have to have a good talk with His Highness Wang An."

The knife shops in the capital had to pay a certain amount of tax to the imperial court every year. Xiao Guan allowed these knife shops to open in order to fill the national treasury.Because the profits obtained from buying and selling weapons are really amazing, knife shops can be seen everywhere in the capital.However, in order to facilitate unified management, all these knife shops are concentrated in the knife market.

Xiao Muxue agreed with Gu Yunjing's statement: "It really needs to be regulated. Son-in-law, how did you go to the bank to check?"

"There is a big problem." Gu Yunjing's expression was very solemn, which can probably be compared with the expression when he tried his best to rescue Xiao Zhan, "The theft of the imperial treasury has just been discovered, and the arrest warrant has just been issued. When Yu Liang actually dared to threaten Lu Lin and asked him to exchange the land deed and house deed into silver, do you think it was a coincidence?"

Xiao Muxue felt a chill in her heart: "You mean Yu Liang is the murderer who stole Ku Yin?"

"Isn't it? I'll find out tomorrow!" Gu Yunjing shook his fingers vigorously, "This time a net has been laid, let's see how he escapes!"

Xiao Muxue stared at Gu Yunjing and asked, "My son-in-law, did you forget something?"

Gu Yunjing was a little dazed, she touched her chin, "Xue'er, before answering your question, I think I need to make a statement. Don't keep calling me son-in-law in the future, how unfamiliar, just call me Yun Jing will be fine."

She smiled slightly: "The call just now doesn't count, call it again."

Xiao Muxue stood up, squeezed Gu Yunjing's back, thumped it lightly twice, and said with emotion: "Yunjing, have you forgotten to take a good rest?"

Gu Yunjing's eyes flickered slightly: "I came back early, I slept before, and now I feel refreshed."

"Really?" Xiao Muxue couldn't believe that her son-in-law was so obedient, "I'll ask Caiyue, if I find out you're lying, I won't talk to you anymore."

"Don't don't." Gu Yunjing turned around and put Xiao Muxue's hand on her chest, "Xue'er, although I felt a little tired before, I can close my eyes and rest for a few hours when I go home. The flu has been eliminated a lot, and I am not very tired now. My body is not that weak, and we have a miracle doctor here, and he will take good care of me."

It really means that Cao Cao and Cao Cao are here.

Just as he was talking, Shangguan Lan came in with a bowl of decoction, probably after hearing Gu Yunjing's last words, his face suddenly turned cold, he placed the bowl heavily on the table, and began to teach his apprentice a lesson.

"You think I've been serving you in the Hou's mansion, that's why I ruined my body so confidently, don't you?" Shangguan Lan flicked his sleeves angrily, "Okay, I'll go back to Wangyou Valley tomorrow, Do as you please, I don't care!"

Gu Yunjing stood up, bowed her head, as if obediently admitting her mistake, "Master, this disciple realizes his mistake."

"I know I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong, I may have heard you say this sentence no less than a hundred times. You know your mistake, but when did you correct it?" Shangguan Lan was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, "You know that every day I am trying to take care of your body. , how much effort does it take to boil the medicine? Don’t you know your own physical condition? If you want me to be your master, you’ll be happy if you’re pissed off to death!”

Gu Yunjing walked up to Shangguanlan slowly, tugged at the corner of his clothes, "Master, don't be angry."

Although Xiao Muxue didn't like to see Gu Yunjing working hard, she was always on the side of the son-in-law.So at this time, I also started to help, "Master, don't blame Yun Jing anymore, I will supervise her to rest more in the future."

Suddenly, Chen Huaisheng, the eunuch in the palace, came to the Hou's mansion again at this time, and he was conveying the will of King An Xiaozhan.

Because although Xiao Zhan has the power now, due to various scruples, he has not officially proclaimed himself emperor, so it is not easy to issue an imperial decree, and only let Chen Huaisheng bring an oral decree.

"My son-in-law, His Royal Highness Wang An called you to discuss something important! Please enter the palace as soon as possible, my son-in-law."
