When he got the news, he couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, and confirmed again and again, "Is the fifth prince really willing to see me?" ”

"Yes, please go to Accord to talk about it, I just hope you wear regular clothes, don't be too ostentatious, the five princes don't want others to know." The little girl smiled and said, "I'll change the clothes for the adults." ”

Thorn Shi nodded, selected a few clothes from the wardrobe and tried them on his body, he seemed to attach great importance to this meeting, and finally chose a silver brocade robe, which was embroidered with silver thread with dark lines of willow leaves, which looked decent.

After making sure that there was nothing wrong with him, he immediately went to the Accord to attend the meeting.

Gu Jianglin also sat in the private room wearing a regular suit, and before he entered the door of the private room, he smelled the fragrance of tea, which was particularly refreshing.

Sure enough, who can experience what kind of taste, Thorn Shi prepared for a while before walking in, and saw that Gu Jianglin was boiling tea in a small red clay stove, so he immediately knelt down to greet him, "Xia Guan has seen the five princes." ”

"No need to be so polite, please sit down." Gu Jianglin made a gesture of please.

Thorn Shi thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Don't dare." ”

"Lord Thorn Shi is really polite, you know, I'm not the kind of person who is too formal, please feel free to sit down." Gu Jianglin invited the other party to sit down and poured him a cup of tea, "The West Lake Longjing here tastes good, fragrant and sweet, and has an endless aftertaste, I liked it when I came for the first time, and Lord Thorn Shi tasted it." ”

Thorn Shi nodded, took the teacup, and took a sip, "The taste of the tea is average, but the environment is good, which adds a bit of flavor to the tea." ”

"You dare to contradict me." Gu Jianglin smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, not knowing whether he was happy or angry.

When the assassin heard this, he hurriedly said: "The minister is just saying what he really thinks in his heart. ”

Gu Jianglin put down the teacup, "This tea is tasteless to drink." ”

Thorn Shi hated himself for talking a lot, but many times he couldn't help but tell the truth, so he sighed leisurely and said: "Don't be surprised by the fifth prince, my stinky mouth doesn't know when to say something." ”

"I see that when you faced He Xiangong, you knew that when you see people, you talk about people, and you talk nonsense when you see ghosts." Gu Jianglin quietly picked up the teacup.

Thorn Shi was flustered in his heart, in fact, everyone seemed to know about his little thing, but when he was mentioned by the fifth prince himself, he still had a feeling that someone had torn off the fig leaf.

Over the years, he has also been forced too deeply, and there is no one in the court to speak for him, so he has been forced to this point again and again by He Zhenglin.

He seems to have a kind of servility in his bones, and he unconsciously only surrenders to He Zhenglin, and after he feels it, he hates himself a little.

When he assassinated Shi, he didn't even dare to openly confront He Xiangong, and could only silently accept his methods that seemed to be well-intentioned on the surface, but in fact wanted to pull him into a gangster.

"Fifth prince, you must have heard about this matter, that's why you have said this." Thorn Shi lowered his head in shame, "Scholars are unyielding, I think I also studied hard through the cold window for ten years, won the lift, and went all the way to the palace exam, and now it's really a shame to be a scholar." ”

Since Gu Jianglin seemed to be genuinely repentant, he smiled and said, "It's not too late to know that mistakes can be changed, not to mention that you haven't been in the same league with him, have you?" ”

Thorn Shi couldn't help nodding, "Thank you for your understanding, the fifth prince." ”

"What do you think of He Zhenglin?" Gu Jianglin said tentatively.

Thorn Shi suddenly felt that there was something wrong with this sentence, and he didn't have time to think deeply, so he immediately gushed out: "This person loves to be greedy and cheap, when you and the six princes were not personally responsible for the matter before, he also took the initiative to ask to be in charge of this matter, I was afraid that he would make money from it, so I refused, but I didn't expect that he actually threatened me, and I was also in a dilemma, but fortunately, the emperor made a decree to let you and the six princes deal with Yanzhou affairs together, and my hanging heart was put down." "The egg hurts

"Oh? It seems that you are not impressed with He Zhenglin. Gu Jianglin smiled and said.

Thorn Shi sighed, "Although I don't think so, but he has a high official title, and he is a hereditary title, ranking in the third rank, and he made meritorious contributions when he founded the country, although this generation did not make a difference in the court, but the merits left by his ancestors are enough to make him sit back and relax." ”

"I sit back and relax, this seems to be too full." Gu Jianglin smiled, picked up the teacup and took another sip, "This tea seems to be tasteless to drink." ”

When Assassin Shi heard this, he didn't have time to think about what Gu Jianglin was thinking, but he felt that his words were a little strange, as if he was alluding to something, so he immediately asked, "What does the fifth prince mean?" Could it be that this He Zhenglin has a lot of articles on him? ”

"Whether he has an article on him, Thorn Shi should know, I know that Thorn Shi has been oppressed by him for so many years, and now is a good opportunity." Through a brief conversation, Gu Jianglin could almost confirm that Thorn Shi and him were all the way.

And if the assassin is really dissatisfied for a long time, he will definitely have some evidence in his hands, and these evidence will not be brought out until the critical time.

And now is the moment of truth.

Thorn Shi seemed to hesitate, and after a long time he said, "I, is it really a good opportunity now?" ”

Gu Jianglin smiled and said, "You are in Yanzhou, you should have learned about what happened on the riverbank two days ago, right?" ”

Thorn Shi kept nodding, "I heard about it, I originally wanted to use the power of the state capital to transfer some more ships over, but before I could do it, He Zhenglin came, let me not be nosy, if I was nosy, he would do it to me, I thought about it or forget it, the five princes still have the support of the emperor, and they will definitely be able to get reinforcements, maybe mine is just small." ”

Gu Jianglin's face changed slightly, but in fact, he didn't even have Emperor Ming what was happening here.

At that time, no matter whether the truth of the matter can be found out or not, he will bear the charge of incompetence first.

He laughed, "This matter is deliberately caused by someone, then I will definitely not let this person go." ”

"Did the five princes find out that He Zhenglin did it?" Thorn Shi asked tentatively.

Gu Jianglin just took a sip of tea, did not deny or confirm it, and Thorn Shi probably understood what he meant, and probably wanted to take advantage of the destruction of the ship this time, and use the evidence on his hand to make an article together.

Thinking of this, he immediately knelt on the ground, clasped his hands into fists, and made a big salute and said, "Fifth prince, the lower officials are willing to follow you in this matter." ”

Gu Jianglin immediately put down the teacup and helped him up from the ground, "You don't need to make this big gift to me, please sit down, let's make a good comeback." ”

Thorn Shi nodded.

The afternoon was very peaceful, they sat in the Accord teahouse and drank tea all afternoon, the sound of the water by the river, drowning their conversation in the surging river, and the river did not know where to go.

When Thorn Shi left, he seemed to be in a good mood, and left quietly, and no one knew what happened in the teahouse.

Xu Buzhi walked up from downstairs, "The five princes, have they all been negotiated?" ”

Gu Jianglin picked up the teacup and shook it slightly, but he didn't drink it, just nodded and said: "Thorn Shi is a person with ideas, although he has been aggrieved for so many years, he has also collected a lot of evidence and can be used, now is not a good opportunity, wait for the matter here to be poked out." ”

"Do you want us to do it?" Xu didn't ask.

"I think someone will do it for you, how could he not seize this opportunity?" Gu Jianglin smiled, "He just didn't expect that I was ready." ”
