Soon, the letter arrived in Gu Nanshan's hands.

He held a thin piece of paper in his hand, his fingertips trembling slightly.

Is it fear?

Do not!

is shocked.

It was an unspeakable excitement.

He seemed to see 30 taels of gold and was waving at him.

The world is so big, he dares to ask for ransom from the royal family, only Xie Ni dares!Looking at him now, he is a little more pleasing to the eye.If it weren't for Concubine Rou and her daughter, Zhizhi would not have entered the palace. If His Majesty hadn't insisted on letting Zhizhi go to Tai Chi Hall, how could she have suffered such a misfortune and her reputation would be ruined.

Shouldn't I ask them for a little compensation?

"I wonder what your Royal Highness means by this?" he asked with tears in his eyes.

The guard said truthfully: "His Highness said that the ransom matter will be left to the Gu family."

Gu Nanshan's voice suddenly became louder, "Your Highness, does he not care about Zhi Zhi? The assassin demanded 30 taels of gold, otherwise he would kill Zhi Zhi. Our Gu family wanted to raise the ransom, but it cost everyone in our Gu family Even if we sell them all, we can’t raise so much money.”

"Your Highness, you want Zhizhi to die!" He stood up with a cry, holding the letter in his hand, and asked sternly: "How can His Highness be so heartless? Zhizhi entered the palace to give Zhaohua The princess prayed. In order to protect your majesty, she fell into the hands of those assassins. Now her life and death are unknown. Your highness did not want to quickly collect the ransom to save people, but he blamed everything on our Gu family. My father and I serve the country and the people. I never slack off in my loyalty to His Majesty, could it be that I will end up like this in the end?"

Hearing what he said, Gu Wenhe was so angry that he almost stood up, pointed at the palace door and yelled at the shameless father and son, and they were so bloody.

His Majesty is very old and wants his daughter to enter the palace as a concubine.

Will the national treasury be short of 30 taels of gold?The dog prince didn't even pretend to be a show-off, he just ignored them. Are they still human beings? !

"If Concubine Rou hadn't summoned my sister to the palace, how could my sister have been kidnapped by assassins? Without a ransom, she would have died. Unfortunately, my father is seriously ill and is still waiting to see his daughter. Today I will spill blood on the palace gate. So we The family is finally reunited." Gu Nanshan looked as if he was going to die generously. His eyes were full of grief, he looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, and hit the stone lion at the entrance of the palace.

There is still plausibility in his mouth, "Zhizhi, wait for me, brother will come to accompany you."

How tragic his words and deeds were.

"Sir, don't do it!" But the guards at the palace gate were frightened. If Mr. Xiao Gu really hit him and died at the palace gate, then they wouldn't have to live. A group of people rushed to stop him.

Gu Wenhe, "..."

Is that kid really seeking death?

It's just a pretense. With so many people here, the prince would never dare to leave Zhizhi alone. He has to take the 30 taels of gold regardless of whether he wants it or not!

Gu Nanshan is not stupid, if he really hit him to death, how can he help Zhizhi count the money?

He was stopped by several guards.

"Let me go and let me accompany my sister..." He struggled and yelled, and when no one was prepared, he pressed lightly on his chest.

next second.

"Pfft..." He spurted out a mouthful of blood, then rolled his eyes and fell backward.

"My lord, my lord..." The guards who were blocking him were frightened out of their wits, and no one shouted loudly: "Go and report to His Highness the Crown Prince."

"What a crime! Miss Gu was kidnapped by assassins in the palace, how could they ignore Miss Gu?"

"Master Gu and Master Gu are so pitiful."

"His Royal Highness, please show kindness and save Miss Gu!" Among the crowd, an unremarkable middle-aged man knelt on the ground first.

After him, the onlookers knelt down and chanted with him.

Knowing that Gu Nanshan didn't really bump into him, Gu Wenhe felt relieved. Hearing everyone's voices, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart, the crown prince hasn't ascended the throne yet!He would never dare to lose the support of the people.

Royal study.

After the crown prince found out about this, he was furious, "Gu Nanshan, how dare he persecute Gu, doesn't he want to die? Then let him die."

"Your Highness, you must not do this! If you really let him die at the gate of the palace, the people will definitely lose their support, and it will be difficult to stop everyone in the world from talking." Several ministers knelt down to persuade him.

The prince asked sternly, "Then what do you think I should do? Should I let them lead me by the nose?"

One of them raised his hands and said, "If you are brave, His Highness the Crown Prince should immediately order a ransom. Maybe you can use this as bait to catch all the assassins, and then appease the Gu family. It is best to give them some rewards, such as Gu Nanzhi." As the county lord, to show His Highness’ benevolence.”

The prince snorted coldly after hearing this, "It's fine to let Gu raise the ransom, but let Gu seal Gu Nanzhi as the county lord, why?"

"I hope His Highness will think twice. Once the news at the gate of the palace is publicized, even if His Highness nods, the effect will be greatly reduced."

"Let Gu think about it." The prince held his forehead with one hand, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt aggrieved.

……

Gu Wenhe came here lying down, so it was reasonable to go back lying down.

But Gu Nanshan walked here and went back lying down.

The prince ordered the imperial guards in the palace to personally send the two of them back.

Along the way, everyone who passed by stopped to watch.

This matter became more and more serious, and Xie Ni deliberately let people spread it secretly, and soon everyone knew about it.

The prince could only grit his teeth and swallow it.

Gu Nanshan and Gu Wenhe were sent home just before the eunuch who announced the order arrived.

Gu Nazhi suddenly became the head of Huayang County.

As soon as the eunuch who announced the decree left, the father and son opened their eyes.

Gu Nanshan was deep in thought. The prince would never make Zhizhi the county lord for no reason. This must have something to do with Xie Ni. He entered the palace last night to assassinate and took the opportunity to kidnap Zhizhi, and today he demanded a ransom and forced the prince to Bow your head, and seal Zhizhi as the county lord, I'm afraid he has planned all this long ago.

The depth of this man's scheming is simply chilling.

Together with his father, I'm afraid they are not his opponents!

"Nanshan, after paying the ransom, will Zhizhi be able to come back? Those people won't go back on their word!" This is the only thing Gu Wenhe is worried about.

Gu Nanshan shook his head, "No."

He couldn't help feeling a little, fortunately they were not enemies of Xie Ni!

……

Gu Nanzhi fell asleep without realizing it. When she opened her eyes, the sun was already high outside.

"Miss, you're awake." She just opened her eyes and faced a familiar face. She couldn't help but say in surprise, "Wanxi, why are you here?"

Wanxi smiled and said, "I'm here to serve Miss."

Gu Nanzhi was slightly startled. There was no maid in Xie Ni's house, so he was afraid that he asked someone to bring Wanxi here.

Wanxi helped her sit up from the couch. At a glance, she saw the pair of embroidered shoes on her feet. The light pink shoes were embroidered with luxurious peonies. The flower stamens were actually embroidered with gold thread, shining brightly in the sunlight. The most exaggerated thing was the pearl on the toe of the shoe, which was as big as a lychee. It was round and flawless, with a visible luster, which made her eyes dazzle.
