Chapter 121: Request for Recommendation
"Oh, could it be that Liu Gongzi has made other discoveries?" Zhou Chengjin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
"Yes!" Liu Zongcheng nodded helplessly, "Since His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun came to Jiangnan, the Gu family has received many benefits, first to accompany the driver, and then to raise donations, I have to say that as long as His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun is in Jiangnan for a day, the Gu family has always been beautiful." ”
"Presumably this time, His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun came to Jiangnan to select the governor of Jiangnan, except for Song Su, who became the governor, the biggest gain, followed by the Gu family. ”
In this way, those rumors have to be believed. Zhou Chengjin couldn't help muttering.
Seeing that his heart had been shaken, Liu Zongcheng continued to add fuel and vinegar: "I have a cousin, just because she offended Gu Ziqing in the past, she deliberately retaliated, and then my cousin couldn't bear it anymore, so she bought a murderer and wanted to kill Gu Ziqing four times." ”
"But for some reason, after the assassination attempt by the assassins, when they arrived in the prison, they unanimously changed their words and said that my cousin had intended to assassinate His Royal Highness, and because of this, she was exiled by His Royal Highness. ”
"I think that His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun has a relationship with Gu Ziqing, so I can't see that she was assassinated, so I took the opportunity to put this matter on my body, and use His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun to convict your cousin and avenge Gu Ziqing. Zhou Chengjin continued his words.
Hearing his words, Liu Zongcheng couldn't hold back a smile, and hurriedly nodded: "Little Marquis, it's really a good idea!"
This Zhou Chengjin is really coaxing! He just said these two words, to discredit Gu Ziqing, he will make up for it by himself, and say everything he wants to say.
But in this way, he saves time and effort, and he no longer has to rack his brains to slander Gu Ziqing and establish his own image.
"Listening to what Liu Gongzi said, this Gu Ziqing is really not a fuel-efficient lamp! He can even do such a thing as hooking up with His Royal Highness the Emperor and Sun. Zhou Chengjin couldn't help frowning slightly, and said with a look of disgust.
Liu Zongcheng nodded, and then echoed: "Yes, what happened to me at that time, although it seems that I suffered a loss, but it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, if I really marry a woman like Gu Ziqing, I am afraid that our Liu family will not have a good life in the future." ”
"In this case, I should congratulate Liu Gongzi on getting out of the sea of suffering!" Zhou Chengjin arched his hand.
Liu Zongcheng hurriedly returned the salute, "Little Marquis, you're polite." ”
After the two finished talking about this matter, they were silent for a while, and then Zhou Chengjin suddenly changed his words and asked, "It's just that today's banquet shouldn't have invited Liu Gongzi, right?"
After he finished speaking, Liu Zongcheng nodded awkwardly, not knowing what to say for a while.
Seeing him like this, Zhou Chengjin suddenly smiled and hurriedly explained: "Young Master Liu, I have always been relatively straightforward, and I have always spoken informally, I hope you don't mind." ”
Listening to his words, Liu Zongcheng couldn't help but secretly slander in his heart, where is this informal, it is clearly deliberately sprinkling salt on his wounds!
However, although he thought so in his heart, he still smiled on the surface and said: "No, no, don't worry, Xiao Hou Ye, Liu is not the kind of person with a small belly." ”
"With Liu Gongzi's words, I am relieved. Zhou Chengjin patted him on the shoulder and said, "I just don't know, how did Liu Gongzi come to the banquet, and why are you waiting for me here?"
This banquet was held by the royal family, and the guards around it must have been relatively strict, and Liu Zongcheng must have moved some wrists before he came in.
And as long as he asks this matter clearly, he can understand how much strength Liu Zongcheng has, and what is the purpose of his coming here? Why do you have to wait for yourself here and talk to him?
In fact, while Zhou Chengjin had these questions in his heart, the answers were also about to come out.
He guessed that Liu Zongcheng had a great motive for doing this, and he was aiming for His Royal Highness the Four Princes, but he wanted to see what tricks this Liu Zongcheng could use?
Hearing his question, Liu Zongcheng hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth, "I was indeed not invited to this banquet, and the reason why I appeared here is because I used some means to buy the maid of this banquet, so I sneaked in." ”
"And the reason why I did this is because I want to see the little marquis and ask for something. ”
"Oh, I don't know what Gongzi Liu wants to ask me for?" Zhou Chengjin asked puzzled.
"Back to the little marquis, the grass people have heard that today's Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is alert and capable, and has all the people in mind, so he has always admired him. Liu Zongcheng said with a flattering face, "And I have heard that the little marquis and His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince are very close, so I ......"
"So I wanted to ask the little marquis, can you help me introduce me, and the grass people also want to work for His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince. ”
Hearing his words, Zhou Chengjin couldn't help sneering in his heart, he was really right, Liu Zongcheng took such a lot of trouble to see him, and this wishful thinking was really His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince.
It's just that this is not so easy to serve His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, and he Zhou Chengjin is not so stupid to do this kind of thing to lure wolves into the house.
Thinking of this, Zhou Chengjin said with an embarrassed face: "Liu Gongzi said this matter, I'm afraid I can't help!"
"Why?" asked Liu Zongcheng with a puzzled expression.
"Although His Royal Highness the Four Princes is an outstanding existence among the princes. Zhou Chengjin said very regretfully, "But he is indifferent and never participates in court politics and the matter of seizing the heir." ”
"I'm afraid that I introduced Liu Gongzi, so you may not be able to show your strength under His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, if so, wouldn't it delay Liu Gongzi's future?"
Hearing this, Liu Zongcheng instantly understood, so he took out a brocade box from his arms and respectfully put it in Zhou Chengjin's hand.
Then he said: "Little Marquis, this is a pearl of the East China Sea, although it is not a rare object, but it is also a piece of Liu's heart, I hope you can help me be accommodating and recommend it to His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince for me." ”
"Young Master Liu, I'm afraid this is not good," Zhou Chengjin couldn't help but excuse himself with an embarrassed face.
"There's nothing bad about it, even if the little marquis helped me ask His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, and he didn't want me, then this thing can be regarded as a gift for me to make friends with the little marquis. ”
After that, Liu Zongcheng put the brocade box in Zhou Chengjin's hand, and did not allow him to have any remorse.
