Eternal traitor

Just when several people stood up, in the small box in the distance, two big lanterns with the word "win" and a group of soldiers came here in an orderly manner.

"It's His Royal Highness, you wait here, and I will report to the master."

A guard with sharp eyes immediately recognized that it was the Prince's convoy, and it was walking towards this side, and the purpose was very clear, it was coming towards Gu's mansion.The guard yelled, pushed open the door and ran in quickly.

ta ta ta

The soldiers stepped in neat steps, holding weapons and stopped at the gate of Gu's mansion. Hundreds of soldiers directly surrounded the area 50 meters away from the gate of Gu's mansion, and Yingzheng's carriage stopped just at the gate of Gu's mansion. .

"you????"

Qin Guangyao was just about to let the group of servants go inside to report to Gu Ran, but before he could say anything, a group of people came out from the gate over there, and the old man with white hair and obvious wrinkles on his face was at the front.

"I don't know His Highness is here, but the little old man is far away from welcoming you."

Gu Ran led a group of people to kneel on the ground, respectfully welcoming Ying Zheng's arrival.

"Mr. Gu, please hurry up. If it's private, I will still call you Gu Shi for life."

Ying Zheng got down from the carriage and helped Gu Ran up himself. It can be said that the return gift gave the old man enough face.The reason why he said that was because the old man had taught Yingzheng etiquette, and even taught King Qin some studies.It is reasonable for Ying Zheng to use the honorific "Mr. Gu".

"Your Highness is serious."

Mr. Gu is not a fool. Looking at Ying Zheng's bloody robe, he knew in his heart that it must be something important that he didn't know about.Moreover, I don't know what the implication of the prince's visit late at night is.

"I have something important to discuss with Mr. Gu, so let's go in and talk about it."

When Ying Zheng was speaking, he silently smiled and nodded towards Gu Huaye who was kneeling on the ground behind Gu Ran.At this time, Gu Huaye was kneeling at the last position of the group of people, his appearance was much haggard compared to before, but his gaze was deeper.

Ying Zheng also met Gu Huaye for the first time, but he still needs to pay attention to this key person. After all, Gu Huaye is the first person in the Gu family to take refuge in him, and he is a person who understands current affairs. He also has a certain amount of credit for the opening of "Baimao United".

"It's the little old man who was rude, please, Your Highness."

Gu Ran glanced at his youngest son, Gu Huaye, and quickly welcomed the prince in.After Gu Ran and Ying Zheng walked into the mansion, a group of people slowly stood up. Among them, Gu Huaye followed his family into the Gu mansion silently after thinking for a long time, without saying a word.

He saw Ying Zheng nodding to him just now, and Gu Huaye also saw his father's stern gaze. He knew that his life might be completely different after tonight.The prince came here tonight, probably because he wanted his stubborn father to express his opinion.

If the old man expresses his attitude of support tonight, then he no longer needs to be imprisoned in the small world of the Gu family. He looked down on his relatives in the past. What kind of attitude should you have when facing me, who is not favored? What about the second son? ?

Brother, since I was a child, I have not obtained as much as you. I can only look at what you have, but for today's opportunity, I have paid too much.When I succeed and inherit this family business, father, will you still ignore my feelings? ?

Chapter 70 Profit maximization

In the main hall of Gu's mansion, a young girl opened the door with two cups of boiled hot tea, and placed them in front of Ying Zheng and Mr. Gu Ran. She glanced at Ying Zheng timidly, then quickly withdrew her gaze, red Standing on the spot with a straight face, he was at a loss.

The young girl didn't see the blood in Ying Zheng's robe at all, and her red face seemed to be imagining all the good things.After all, this is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is not only noble, but also young and handsome. How can such a young man let the girl forget him? ?

"Ahem??? Xiaoyu, go down."

Gu Ran coughed softly and let out a cry of hunger, which brought the girl back to her senses. Looking at her little granddaughter, a smile appeared on Gu Ran's old face.

"Yes, Grandpa."

The moment the girl woke up, she quickly responded, and left the room with a blank mind. She even forgot how she left the room, and Ying Zheng's handsome face always appeared in her mind.

"Granddaughter Gu Yu, at the age of thirteen?????? Haha, people like to talk a lot when they are old. I don't know why His Royal Highness came here late at night??"

Of course, Gu Ran didn't simply say such a sentence, he was fighting for the welfare of his family, what if his granddaughter could marry Ying Zheng? ?As long as Ying Zheng agrees, he will definitely stand on Ying Zheng's side unswervingly.

"Beauty is like jade, that's true." Ying Zheng smiled and praised the girl's beautiful face unabashedly, and then said calmly, "It is indeed a kind of unfeeling invitation for me to come here late at night."

In fact, the girl Gu Yu is considered a beauty, but she is not so beautiful as to overwhelm the country.Even so, this girl can be regarded as the most beautiful girl in the younger generation.Otherwise, Gu Ran would not have arranged for this girl to deliver tea at this precious time.

"Please speak, Your Highness."

Gu Ran picked up the tea beside him, took a sip and said with a smile.At his age, stability is the most important thing, just like the issue of standing on the sidelines, only by being calm can we survive in this vortex of power better.

"My palace was assassinated tonight."

Ying Zheng calmly uttered a terrifying sentence, coupled with the blood on his body, it was hard for people not to believe the truth of these words.

"puff"

Gu Ran didn't drink the tea in one sip, but spit the tea into the cup again, his eyes widened, and he looked at Ying Zheng in disbelief.Then he put down the tea in his hand, stood up righteously and said: "Who is so bold?? Could it be that he deceived no one in Qin?? If I let the old man know who it is, I will definitely kill these thieves."

Gu Ran blew his beard and shouted, people who didn't know thought that this old guy's son had been killed. If it was about acting, this old man could be said to be at the level of a movie king.

"People from the Li family."

A smile appeared on the corner of Ying Zheng's mouth, and he said to Gu Ran.

"Uh, people from the Li family?? Is there any misunderstanding??"

Even if Gu Ran was killed, he didn't believe that the Li family dared to risk the power of the world to assassinate the crown prince. This was to punish the nine clans. Besides, the king of Qin was still young, so the fight for the position hadn't reached this level, right? ?

"There is no misunderstanding, I have cut off the hands of Li Yi, the city guard, with my own hands."

Only now did Ying Zheng realize that Gu Ran was in trouble, and he was talking about what to do, but when he heard that it was the Li family who made the move, he immediately said that there might be a misunderstanding, and he didn't say a word about the move.

"????????"

Gu Ran didn't speak, and sat down slowly, then picked up the cup of tea again, pretending to drink tea to cover his face, and kept savoring the information given by Ying Zheng.Li Yi is the younger brother of Concubine Li Gui. The two siblings are now the spokespersons of the Li family. Ying Zheng cut off Li Yi's hands. Will the Li family be willing? ?Don't you have to make a fuss? ?

"Does your Highness have evidence??"

After struggling for a long time, Gu Ran still asked the most important thing.If the assassination was directed and acted by Ying Zheng himself, and then blamed on the Li family, it would be understandable to cut the wings of the Li family.

"As for the assassination, the dragon guards testified. As for other evidence, I cut off Li Yi's hands, and he has already explained everything."

"How will Your Highness handle this matter?"

After all, Gu Ran was an old fox, he didn't express his position lightly at all, but asked about Ying Zheng's reality.Even if Ying Zheng's words were extravagant, he would not easily express his opinion without enough information.

"Only this?????? is enough."

Although Ying Zheng was a bit unwilling, he insisted on changing the target of the assassination from Li Hua to Ying Zheng, not to mention King Qin, even the ministers probably didn't believe any of them, Gu Ran is the best example.If you really want to rely on the Li family, then the Li family will probably fall into chaos.

Letting the Li family give up the post of city guard this time is not a small concession.

"Then why is your Highness looking for this old man?"

Upon hearing Ying Zheng's words, Gu Ran instantly understood that there must be some twists and turns, so he simply ignored the matter and waited for tomorrow's conclusion.Otherwise, the prince would definitely not give up the chance to get rid of the Li family so easily.

"I want Master Gu to recommend Meng Yi for the post of City Guard Division."

Ying Zheng doesn't seem to be playing tricks with Gu Ran, this old man is so slippery, he doesn't want to stalk a rabbit if he doesn't see a rabbit, if he really spends it with him, he probably won't be able to sleep tonight.

"Meng Yi?? But I don't know much about him, how can I recommend him?"
