Contract Prince

Chapter 133 Current Situation.

The banker hurriedly got up and replied: "The grass people don't know why Yu Liang wants to control Lu Guogong, and they don't know where they are going."

"We were ordered by Boss Xu to follow Yu Liang's carriage. On the way, we met Mr. Gu Zhong. He asked me to report the matter to you, and we followed the carriage by ourselves."

Just as he was talking, Gu Zhong came back in a hurry.Although he is strong in martial arts, he will be more or less exhausted by following back and forth along the way.

"Your Majesty, I have discovered something extraordinary! There is something wrong with this Yu Liang! He is so bold that he dares to hold Lu Guogong hostage!" Gu Zhong just stopped, and before he could take a breath, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and talked to Gu Zhong. Yun Jing reported.

Gu Yunjing asked: "Where did he go after he kidnapped the Duke?"

"Back to the Lu Mansion!" Gu Zhong asked for instructions, "My lord, what should we do now?"

Gu Yunjing immediately gave the order: "Gu Zhong, you lead two teams to lurk quietly ten miles outside Lu's residence. Remember not to act rashly, so as not to startle the snake!"

After giving Gu Zhong the order, she turned her head to look at Xiao Muxue and said, "Xue'er, take some people to the knife market to make inquiries."

"Okay." Xiao Muxue looked at Gu Yunjing who looked haggard, and said, "Go home and rest."

Gu Yunjing and Xiao Muxue looked at each other, looking at each other's caring eyes, she couldn't bear it, hesitated and said: "Xue'er, I...I can't go back for the time being, I have to go to the Lu family bank , Find the boss to check the specific situation."

Fearing that Xiao Muxue would be angry, she lowered her voice very softly: "You also know that the situation is urgent now, I..."

Xiao Muxue lowered her eyes, she is the person who knows Gu Yunjing best, and her son-in-law is used to working hard, so it is simply impossible for her to quit at such a critical moment and have a good rest.

Even if she is persuaded to return to the mansion, the son-in-law will not rest in peace, on the contrary, he may be more worried about the situation.Instead of this, it would be better to let her concentrate on investigating the case.Xiao Muxue said reasonably: "Go, be careful not to get tired."

Gu Yunjing smiled: "Xue'er is the most considerate and reasonable. I will definitely pay attention to my body, and I will go home and have a good rest immediately after the inquiry."

After finishing speaking, she took a few people with her, and hurried towards the Lu family's bank in a hurry.

After arriving at the Qianzhuang, Gu Yunjing immediately summoned Xu Guangtian to him for questioning. When Xu Guangtian saw the imperial son-in-law and was about to kneel down to salute, Gu Yunjing waved his hand: "There is no need to be too polite. Boss Xu, do you know why Yu Liang wanted to hold Lu Guogong hostage?" ?”

Xu Guangtian was worried about Lu Lin's safety all the time, and his voice was a bit mournful: "It should be for money. Otherwise, the Duke would not have exchanged the land deed for a bank note for no reason and withdraw it together."

Gu Yunjing's eyes sank, and then he asked again: "How did you see that Yu Liang controlled the Duke?"

Xu Guangtian said in a respectful voice: "I have been favored by the Duke of the Kingdom, and I used to be called a brother to him. Before I left Lu's mansion, I often drank tea with him."

"At that time, he once told me that if one day he was imprisoned and under the pressure of the enemy, he could not openly express his request for help to the outside world, he could use the tea language as a secret signal."

Gu Yunjing asked: "Tea language?"

"That's right, I said the wrong name of the tea on purpose. I didn't care what the Duke said at the time. I didn't expect him to be in trouble now." Xu Guangtian knelt on the ground and begged, "I beg you , we must save the Duke.”

Gu Yunjing signaled Xu Guangtian to get up, "I will definitely do my best. It's just that I don't understand why Yu Liang suddenly wants so much money? And Yu Liang's life experience, how much do you know?"

Xu Guangtian shook his head helplessly: "I don't know the purpose of his taking the money. But I do know something about his family background. He was born in poverty, the son of a servant, and he used to be a servant in other places."

"Later, I met the young master Lu Zhong by accident. Mr. Lu saw that he was very smart, so he let him work as an errand in Lu's mansion. Later, the relationship with Lu Zhong became more and more close, and he got along well in the Duke's mansion. From a Little servants make stewards."

Thinking of Yu Liang's actions, Xu Guangtian's face was full of uncontrollable resentment, he gritted his teeth and said: "Maybe this crazy guy came to the Marquis' Mansion for this purpose!"

Gu Yunjing said in a deep voice: "Then, did Yu Liang see any clues?"

"No." Xu Guangtian affirmed, "This tea language is a secret signal between the Duke and I, and it is impossible for others to know."

Gu Yunjing turned his head and talked endlessly: "Since you will send people to report to the officials, it means that Yu Liang has not successfully exchanged the house deed and land deed into bank notes. He will hold Lu Guogong hostage, which means that it is already a dangerous move. It seems that he is imminent to get the bank note."

"Your Majesty has favored Lu Guogong very much these years, and has rewarded him with countless fertile land. It is no small matter to exchange so many land deeds into movie tickets at once, and it will definitely take a few days. He brought the Duke to meet you at the bank, It should be to dispel your doubts. I don’t think he will bring Lu Guogong with him when he comes to pick up the banknote next time.” Gu Yunjing paused, “After he takes the banknote, the Duke’s The situation is really dangerous.”

"Boss Xu, did you make an appointment with him to pick up the bank notes in a few days?"

Without him needing to report back, Gu Yunjing secretly deduced the cause and effect of everything in such a short period of time.Xu Guangtian admired this frail son-in-law from the bottom of his heart.

"One day. It's my fault. I didn't see the clue before. I thought the Duke was in urgent need of money, so I made an appointment for a day." Speaking of this, Xu Guangtian also blamed himself deeply. If he had known this, he should have Talk about ten days and a half months.

Because one more day of delay, Lu Lin's chances of being rescued would be greater.

"You don't have to blame yourself too much. If you didn't hear the mysterious tea language, then the Duke of the country would really have no chance of life." Gu Yunjing's eyes froze, and he said quickly, "I will arrange people to secretly lurk in the In the Qianzhuang, as long as Yu Liang shows up, he will definitely not be able to escape!"

After Gu Yunjing finished giving her orders, she walked out of the bank in a hurry.

…………

The streets and alleys are covered with wanted notices, and Qu Feiqing naturally knows that the situation is very dangerous for her.She couldn't think of a better strategy, so she had to ask her master Huangfuyun for help.

Concubine Qu put on a windbreaker and a bamboo hat, and sat in the carriage.The horse galloped and soon came to Huangfu Yun's secret place of alchemy.

After getting off the carriage, Qu Feiqing looked around, and seeing nothing unusual, she quickly got into the cave.

Huangfuyun was meditating, and when he heard familiar footsteps, he hurriedly opened his eyes, glanced at Qu Feiqing's flustered expression, and hurriedly asked, "Feiqing, but did something important happen outside?"

"Master." Qu Feiqing's alluring face was full of melancholy.

"Man's calculation is not as good as heaven's calculation. The matter of Ku Yin's loss was still found out by the court. Lu Zhong had borrowed the hand of a quack thief to steal Deng Kuan's key before, and then opened the door of the warehouse and stole the bank notes. He has always been a wimp. The officials of the imperial court have become very shrewd now, knowing that this thief is inseparable from this matter. Now the streets are full of notices about his arrest."

"If things go on like this, they will find us sooner or later. Disciple can't think of a good way to deal with this matter now, so he came to disturb the master."

Huangfuyun's skinny face was as calm as usual, as if nothing in the world could make him lose his temper.

"Don't panic. Go and contact the bandits and rogues in Heifengzhai now, and try to turn them into our people. If this is done, you quickly leave the capital of Xiao Kingdom and go to Cangzhou to avoid the limelight. The rest of the matter Don't worry too much about it, leave everything to the teacher to handle."

Huangfuyun stretched his arms, "Looks like it's time for me to come out to disturb the situation. It just so happens that I have recently refined a new poison, and there is a shortage of people to test it."

He asked again: "By the way, are those weapons and bombs still hidden in Zuichun Tower?"

Concubine Qu nodded: "Yes." Officers and soldiers from the imperial court came to investigate before, but they did not find any clues.Master is now in the limelight, what are you going to do with these dangerous items? "

Huangfu Yun showed a ferocious smile: "Send a big gift to the emperor!"

He has been living an isolated life in the cave, busy with alchemy, and every time he gets any news from the outside world, it is Qu Feiqing who comes to report.Qu Feiqing was very busy recently, so he didn't report the news that the emperor was unconscious in time.Huangfu Yun had no way of knowing.

"Master, the old emperor has now turned into a living dead, lying unconscious on the sickbed."

Huangfu Yun raised his eyelids, gave a faint oh, and then asked: "He has become a useless person now, who is in power at the court?"

"It's the former abolished prince, now King An, Xiao Zhan."

Huangfu Yun let out a small exclamation: "It's not Zhao Wang Xiao Cong? It seems that Xiao Zhan's methods are more vicious, and the emperor's old man's illness has helped him."

"Although Xiao Zhan is extraordinary, but his strategy is not so deep, it is not enough to compete with Xiao Cong who has Qin She's secret support. The reason why he is so prosperous now is entirely because of the help of one person."

Huangfu Yun asked: "Who?"

"Marquis of Zhenyuan and Marshal of the World's Army and Horses, Gu Wei's son, Gu Yunjing. He married the princess Xiao Muxue. Xiao Muxue and Xiao Zhan have a very good relationship, so Gu Yunjing has been planning for Xiao Zhan."
