Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

After figuring this out, Xuanyuan Long felt at ease.

Gu Chan said seriously, "How is it, Prince?"

"Let's see how you perform in a while. If your performance satisfies this prince, then it would be okay for me to accompany you to the Prince Qin's Palace." Xuanyuan Long said proudly.

Gu Chan glanced at him and cursed in her heart.

If she didn't know the King of Qin very well and didn't know what kind of person this prince was, would she have to do this?

"Damn it! I'll let you feel proud now, but just wait, one day I will give you a good beating." Gu Chan muttered to herself in her heart.

At this time, two guards escorted Fatty Yu to the lobby, one on the left and one on the right.

The guard reported, "Prince, Prince Chan, the former Minister of War Yu Da has been brought in."

"You come to judge the case! I'll just be an observer." Xuanyuan Long said to Gu Chan.

Gu Chan nodded, reached out to grab the gavel in front of her, and slammed it on the table.

"Snapped!"

There was a loud bang, and it was her first time using the gavel, and her hand slipped, causing the gavel to fly out, hitting Yu Da's forehead with a bang.

"Ouch!"

Yu Da screamed in pain, covered his head with his hands, and blood seeped down his forehead.

The officers standing on both sides were all trying to hold back their laughter and almost burst out laughing.

Yu Da grimaced in pain and said, "Prince Chan! How did I offend you? Why do you treat me like this? Last time you went to the prison, you framed me without any reason and caused me to be beaten with fifty sticks. You almost beat me to death. Now in court, I haven't even had a chance to say a word, but you deliberately threw the gavel at me. You really want to kill me, don't you?"

"Last time, I believed the rumors and thought that you really had accomplices outside who wanted to murder the prince. Now I have found out the truth recently and specially summoned you for interrogation to prove your innocence!" Gu Chan said awkwardly.

As she said this, she wanted to laugh again when she saw Yu Da's aggrieved look.

Yu Da sighed helplessly and simply sat down on the ground, looking like he had accepted his fate.

Gu Chan couldn't help herself and said with a laugh, "Come here, bandage the wound on Lord Yu's forehead first."

"Yes, Prince Chan." An officer responded and immediately went to get gauze to bandage the bleeding wound on Yu Da's forehead.

Shen Yang walked quickly forward, picked up the gavel that had fallen to the ground, and put it back in front of Gu Chan.

Gu Chan reached out and picked up the gavel, holding it in his hand while playing with it and said, "Master Yu, today I am giving you a chance. As long as you say in public that you will be loyal to the Crown Prince in the future, I will plead for you and ask the Crown Prince to let you go."

"Bah! I, Yu Da, swear to be loyal to the Ninth Prince until death." Yu Da said gritting his teeth.

After saying that, he raised his eyes and glared fiercely at Xuanyuan Long who was sitting next to Gu Chan, then buried his head again. From beginning to end, he never looked directly at the current crown prince.

Xuanyuan Long's face turned pale with anger, and he shouted angrily, "Yu Da, you are really stubborn! Aren't you afraid that I will kill all your clans?"

"What a joke. I have been an orphan since childhood. Fortunately, the Third Prince appreciated me and bought me into his palace. I grew up in the Third Prince's house, but I am a servant in his palace. If you insist on saying that I have a relative, then that is him. You want to kill all nine of my clans, but that does not mean you will kill all nine of your clans. Why don't you try killing just one of them?" Yu Da said disdainfully.

"You..." Xuanyuan Long was speechless on the spot.

"Ha ha……"

Gu Chan was sitting aside and was so amused that she burst into laughter.

After all this time, she only found out now that this fat guy actually had such a background. No wonder he was so fearless and dared to go against the current ruler!

Xuanyuan Long roared angrily, "Come here, beat him up hard."

"Wait a minute, Prince." Gu Chan stopped smiling and waved her hand to stop him.

Xuanyuan Long could only suppress his anger temporarily.

Gu Chan stared at Yu Da and said, "Master Yu, since you are the Third Prince's hidden servant, why did you swear allegiance to the Ninth Prince? Shouldn't you swear allegiance to the Third Prince? Did the Third Prince allow you to say this?"

Yu Da was stunned when he heard this, and immediately lowered his head and remained silent.

Xuanyuan Long was originally angry, but when he saw Yu Da's appearance, his face immediately became gloomy.

Obviously, Gu Chan's knife had hit a key part. Yu Da was such a stubborn person that he would rather die than bow to the crown prince, and he also swore to be loyal to the Ninth Prince. Wasn't it obvious that he had received instructions from his master? Otherwise, why would he be so stubborn?

Gu Chan put her mouth close to Xuanyuan Long's ear and whispered, "My Lord, do you understand now? This fat guy is nothing to you. He has a good reputation in the past few years. If you touch him, I'm afraid all the civil and military officials in the court will look at you differently. So I advise you to hit the snake at its weakest point. It's useless to hit the snake by the tail."

"So according to you, should I let him go now?" Xuanyuan Long said in a deep voice.

"Yes, not only should you release him, you should also release him with great fanfare, and you should also commend him and reward him handsomely. In this way, you can win the hearts of the people and create a rift between the master and the servant. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?" Gu Chan said shrewdly.

Xuanyuan Long fell silent, staring at Yu Da with his eyes like an eagle's, hating him so much that his teeth were itching.

However, he also admitted in his heart that what Gu Chan said was right. In this situation, taking the Minister of War as a target would not have much effect on him. The most important thing was that the fat guy had been very honest over the years. He had been imprisoned for such a long time, and no evidence that could lead to his death had been found.

So this time, with the help of Gu Chan, we can let him go and solve this trouble.

Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Long put on airs again and said, "It is impossible for me to let him go easily. Lord Chan, since you are the one who is trying him today, you should try him well, and it is best to try him until I am satisfied."

"That's easy. I have the best way to deal with people who are stubborn." Gu Chan said with a sly smile.

Yu Da raised his eyes and glared at Gu Chan, shouting, "I'm not afraid of death, so why should I be afraid of your tricks? You little brat, just use them. The worst that can happen is that I will die. I don't care."

"Oh my! You even scolded me?" Gu Chan said dumbfounded.

"I heard that you were a good person before, and I thought what everyone said was true. But looking at the current situation, I have seen clearly that you are still a despicable and shameless person who secretly disobeys the orders of the prince and exploits the people. I will see how long you can remain a king of a different surname. Sooner or later, a strong man will take care of you." Yu Da cursed.

Gu Chan put her hand on her forehead and her head suddenly felt bigger.

It was not until now that she finally understood that this fat guy was not only too straightforward, but also a little stubborn. Otherwise, how could he not see that she and Shen Yang came here today specifically to rescue him from prison!
