Today, Gu Ziqing's approach undoubtedly aroused Zhou Chengjin's interest in her, and she became angry after a long time of boring days, but she wanted to find a sense of stimulation. Gu Ziqing's appearance is exactly in line with this.

Zhou Chengjin couldn't help but make up his mind in his heart, and secretly made up his mind that he must let Gu Ziqing surrender at his feet, and he would not be as arrogant as he is today, and he would not be taken in his eyes.

Just as he was thinking to himself, a voice suddenly came from the darkness, Zhou Chengjin immediately followed the voice smartly, looked over, and then said nervously: "Who? ”

Hearing his shout, a person slowly came out of the shadows.

Zhou Chengjin raised his eyes to look, but saw that person walking slowly in front of him, and then arched his hand and said, "Grass people Liu Zongcheng pays a visit to the little marquis." ”

"Are you?" Zhou Chengjin raised his eyebrows slightly and looked him up and down.

"Little Hou Ye, you may not know me, but you must have heard of my father. Liu Zongcheng then recommended himself, "My father is the previous governor Liu Qingyuan. ”

Hearing his words, Zhou Chengjin suddenly realized, and then looked at him with a smile, and said in a flirtatious tone: "It turns out that you are the son of Liu Zhizhou!"

He knew the name Liu Qingyuan, and when His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun came to Jiangnan, he sent someone to investigate, and the person who ran for the governor of Jiangnan with Song Su at that time was this Liu Qingyuan.

However, after His Royal Highness came to Jiangnan, he suddenly found out that Liu Qingyuan had bribed high-ranking officials, so he removed him from his official position, and then directly gave the position of governor to Song Su.

It's just that Zhou Chengjin is a little confused, since the person in front of him is Liu Qingyuan's son, what is the so-called thing about him looking for himself today?

And this banquet, it seems that ordinary people can't get in, he didn't receive an invitation, how did he get in?

Liu Zongcheng stood aside, heard the ridicule in his tone, and was not angry, but still smiled and said: "I'm ashamed to say that my father was dismissed from his official position by His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun because of some things before, and now he is no longer an official in the court." ”

"But despite this, I still think that those things are not all my father's mistakes, and the reason why His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun punished my father so heavily is entirely because he listened to Gu Ziqing's words and was confused by her. ”

Liu Zongcheng heard the news that the emperor came to Jiangnan these days, so he told Liu Qingyuan about it, and then he learned about it from his father.

In fact, on the surface, looking at the four princes who have no quarrel with the world, they are secretly wooing courtiers and participating in the seizure of the heir, and his faction, the most representative is this Zhou Chengjin of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.

Therefore, under Liu Qingyuan's instructions, Liu Zongcheng bribed the subordinates in this banquet, successfully infiltrated the banquet by fishing in troubled waters, and then came to meet Zhou Chengjin when he came out alone.

Then he tried his best to persuade him to let Zhou Chengjin introduce himself and serve the four princes, so that as long as they had merit in winning the heirs of the four princes, when he arrived, after the four princes ascended the throne, the Liu family would be able to turn over.

Therefore, he can only succeed today, not fail, and must do everything possible to persuade Zhou Chengjin, and then get the opportunity to serve the fourth prince.

While he was thinking to himself, Zhou Chengjin on the side listened to Liu Zongcheng's words and asked: "Young Master Liu, how can you say this? Could it be that Lord Liu's previous case still has a hidden secret?"

Hearing his words, Liu Zongcheng couldn't help but sigh and said: "My father did bribe a high-ranking official at the beginning, and this matter is understandable, but I think my father has done his best for the court all these years, and there is no merit and hard work, and His Royal Highness the Emperor and Sun can completely be lightly punished."

"But not only is this not the case, but His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun is still bending the law for personal gain, because our family once had a feud with the Gu family, and His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun took this opportunity to take revenge on our Liu family and punished my father so badly that he will not be able to enter the official career again in the future. ”

"What do you mean, His Royal Highness and Miss Gu?" Zhou Chengjin asked with a hint of suspicion.

Liu Zongcheng pretended to be surprised and said, "Little Marquis, didn't you hear those rumors when you entered Jiangnan?"

"When I entered Jiangnan, I heard some rumors. Zhou Chengjin nodded slightly, "It's just that after meeting Miss Gu, I didn't believe those rumors anymore, I just felt that they were all unwarranted." ”

Hearing this, Liu Zongcheng couldn't help but snort coldly, "If I tell the little marquis that these things are not unnecessary, will the little marquis believe it?"

Zhou Chengjin's eyes widened instantly, and he hesitated slightly: "Miss Gu, there shouldn't be anything to do with His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun, right?"

Liu Zongcheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, it seems that this Zhou Chengjin's impression of Gu Ziqing is still good, and he doesn't believe that she would do such a thing!

It seems that it will take some time to take refuge in the four princes and use his hand to bring down the Gu family.

The top priority now should be to destroy Gu Ziqing's image in Zhou Chengjin's mind and let him stand on his side, otherwise let alone take refuge in the four princes, I am afraid that he will not even be able to see the face of the four princes.

Thinking of this, Liu Zongcheng pretended to be sorry and said: "It seems that the little marquis still doesn't know much about Gu Ziqing, and is confused by her appearance, just like me at that time!"

Sure enough, after he finished saying this, Zhou Chengjin immediately became interested, so he asked, "Young Master Liu." What do you mean by that?"

"At the beginning, our Liu Gu family had a marriage contract, and I was also very fond of Gu Ziqing. Liu Zongcheng began to babble nonsense, "It's just that for some reason, Gu Ziqing began to dislike me, and also designed me to sleep with my sister-in-law, and then called someone to catch the adulterer." ”

"This incident caused our Liu family to lose face, my sister-in-law was sent away by her father, and the Gu family also took this opportunity to divorce me, and soon after, I heard that Gu Ziqing and His Royal Highness the Emperor and Sun, who had just arrived in Jiangnan, went in and out of various places together, and the two did not shy away from it at all. ”

Liu Zongcheng's words were very clever, he did not explain what the relationship between the two was, but put them together, allowing Zhou Chengjin to think about it himself and associate these two things together, so as to destroy Gu Ziqing's image in his mind.

Sure enough, after he finished saying this, Zhou Chengjin said thoughtfully: "So you suspect that Gu Ziqing took a ride with His Royal Highness the Emperor and Sun before he designed to withdraw from the Liu family?"

"It's not just that that makes me suspicious. Liu Zongcheng said slowly.
