Chapter 174: Beauty's Scheming
"Pavilion Master Xu shouldn't know that this Gu Chen is actually a dead person in the eyes of the world, right?"
Gao Heng looked away from Xu Ruyan and said unhurriedly, but Xu Ruyan, who was sitting opposite, suddenly jumped between his eyebrows, and a trace of solemnity flowed from the corners of his eyes. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Dead people, I don't know what His Royal Highness King Yan means by this?"
"It seems that Pavilion Master Xu really doesn't know what happened to this Gu Chen at all. Gao Heng's eyes darkened, and his eyes stared sharply at Xu Ruyan, "Guizhuang has always acted carefully and rigorously, why is it that the person hiding this time is obviously an extremely dangerous person, but he seems to know nothing about all this? Is it because he is also a member of the Gu family, so Guizhuang has relaxed his vigilance? Or is it that this Gu Chen has made up some kind of rhetoric, and even the Xu Pavilion Master has successfully concealed it?"
Seeing that Xu Ruyan's face tightened and did not speak, as if he was thinking about his intentions, Gao Heng continued: "Pavilion Master Xu knows who this king is referring to. He was also present that day when the king and the princess went to the secret room to examine the hostages, and he still had a handicap in the fingers of his right hand, right?"
"Sure enough, it's Ye Fei. Xu Ruyan pursed the corners of his lips thoughtfully, and then rolled his eyes a little confused, "In fact, when he deliberately concealed his real name from His Royal Highness in the secret room, Ruyan already had some suspicions, and although he asked later, the answer he could get made people feel very far-fetched." Today, I also ask His Royal Highness King Yan to be able to clear up his doubts, so that Ruyan will no longer be suspicious of this. ”
The king was also surprised to learn that he was still alive. But this king can only tell the master of Xu Pavilion that the case that the Gu family is involved in is inevitably related to Gu Chen. Only by finding him and asking him to come forward to confess his guilt and pointing out the real mastermind behind it can Gu Shaozhu clear his suspicion and prove his innocence. ”
When Gao Heng said this, he deliberately accentuated his tone and wrinkled his eyebrows at Xu Ruyan, his eyes were sharp: "Other than that, I'm afraid there is no other way." ”
Originally, from the standpoint of Yuyin Villa, whether it was the Bizhou official silver robbery case many years ago, or the arson of the prison of the Criminal Department that happened not long ago, what the truth is and who did it does it does not matter to these people in the rivers and lakes.
Their purpose was just to take the Gu family and Gu Hanqing away from this dire catastrophe, and to follow the order of the old owner to repay the favor of the Gu family's ancestors.
But now that I heard that they were helping to hide Gu Chen, it was actually related to this case, which was equivalent to secretly hiding a criminal from the imperial court.
Such a big crime, even the Jade Yin Villa, which has always been bent on doing it and fearless, will inevitably not feel worried about it.
"But when he came to join us, he clearly said that he was hunted down and killed by the Jianghu sect. Ruyan also deliberately sent someone to ask the old owner in Lingzhou for instructions, and then let him stay in the secret room to avoid the limelight for the time being. Later, he will be allowed to leave. ”
Xu Ruyan put her hands on the table and stood up, her mood a little fluctuating compared to before.
"But I can see that he seems to have a great intention of defecting to our Yuyin Villa, so after the children of the Yasukuni Duke were sent to the secret room, he offered to take care of us for us. Unexpectedly, from beginning to end, he was just taking advantage of the old owner's kindness to deceive us. ”
Seeing that Xu Ruyan was outspoken and did not hide it much, the doubts in Gao Heng's heart were gradually eliminated, so he frowned. "This king said before that he was a dead man in the eyes of the world. In this case, of course, he had to find a place for himself to shelter from the wind and rain. Guizhuang's power in the rivers and lakes should not be underestimated, and the general Jianghu sect did not dare to make a mistake here, he was afraid that he saw that the owner of Bai Laozhuang would definitely remember the kindness of the Gu family back then, so he chose to defect to Guizhuang. ”
"If he is really related to the robbery of the Criminal Department as His Highness said, wouldn't it be an invasion by the imperial court?" Xu Ruyan's eyes furrowed with a grim eyebrow, "In this way, we will become accomplices in taking him in." Oh, if it weren't for His Highness coming to tell us today, we don't know how long we would have been kept in the dark. ”
Xu Ruyan clenched her cuffs with her backhand and raised her head and smiled coldly, her tone couldn't help but become much heavier than the previous soft and graceful tone.
"It's not too late to know. Gao Heng said indifferently, "But the contradiction between Gu Chen and the Gu family must be known to Guizhuang, he has left the Gu family many years ago to set up his own door, why is the old Bai Zhuang owner still willing to take him in?"
"Our old owner is the one who knows the most about Entu, and he may also think that he is a descendant of the Gu family, so he agreed to help. ”
Xu Ruyan walked to the window with his back to Gao Heng as he spoke, he didn't know what he was staring at, he stopped for a moment, turned around again, and the solemnity on his face had faded by half.
"So the reason that this king said before, can it satisfy the heart of the Xu Pavilion Lord?"
Gao Heng was still sitting calmly in place, but he couldn't help but feel that what Xu Ruyan said seemed to be a little incomprehensible.
"His Royal Highness King Yan can rest assured, Ruyan knows what to do. ”
Xu Ruyan bowed slightly, smiled at Gao Heng, and then slowly walked to the table, raised his glass of wine and took a sip. Seeing that Gao Heng looked at her and didn't speak, his face didn't seem to be convinced, and the smile on his lips was even worse.
"Doesn't Your Highness believe in smoke?"
"Pavilion Master Xu misunderstood. Through the last hostage, this king knows that the Lord of the Xu Pavilion is a person who does what he says, how can he not believe it at this moment?"
Although Gao Heng said this, looking at Xu Ruyan's smiling and meaningful face in front of him, he always felt an indescribable discomfort.
"Since Ruyan is fortunate to help His Highness again, can His Highness fulfill Ruyan's small wish?"
With a fragrant fragrance, Xu Ruyan approached Gao Heng, and his eyes full of expectations were full of intoxicating tenderness.
"Lord Xu Ge, please speak. ”
Gao Heng deliberately looked away, and his face did not show any wavering color because of the imminent approach of the stunning beauty in front of him.
"After listening to His Royal Highness play the song "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" for the princess last time, Ruyan knew that His Highness was proficient in music, I don't know if His Highness can deign to be honored tonight and play a song for Ruyan alone?"
Xu Ruyan said and looked at the vermilion lacquer guqin placed next to the collapse, and her eyes flashed slightly.
Although Gao Heng has never been a person who knows how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and he is not willing to play the piano in front of others, but thinking of Xu Ruyan's many helps, Gu Chen's matter has not yet settled, out of helplessness and other considerations, he can only reluctantly agree.
So he stood up and walked to the front of the qin platform, and said with a silent face: "Since it is a guqin, I don't know which song the master of Xu Ge wants to hear?"
"Sauvignon Blanc. ”
Xu Ruyan was overjoyed, her lips were opened, and she spit out three words affectionately, staring at Gao Heng, with a trace of delicate and long ambiguity wrapped in her eyes.
"I wonder if Your Highness can do this?"
