"Lord Zhao, the prince is very angry because of this matter, and after he went back, he smashed a lot of things, to put it bluntly, that Miss Liu Ci is a figure that the prince is now putting on the tip of his heart, and even the old princess of our family is very fond of Miss Liu Ci!"

After Mu Lan got Gu Sulan's order, he came to the mansion of Guangyu Prefecture, Zhao Deyou learned that she was a person from the Zhongxian Palace, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off, and welcomed people into the mansion, and he was entertained, and when he heard Mu Lan's words, he felt a little more weird and vigilant.

I couldn't help but ask tentatively: "You mean this Liu Ci, oh no, Miss Liu Ci is very likely to become the princess of Zhongxian?" ”

If this is the case, then he can be regarded as a big deal this time, thinking that he once wanted to throw the future princess Zhun Zhongxian into the prison, Zhao Deyou broke out in a cold sweat.

According to what Mu Lan said, Xiao Yuhuai was furious after he went back, it is inevitable that someone will be implicated recently, so if he is a small sesame official, if the prince wants to deal with him, there is no pressure at all!

Mu Lan looked at the frightened look on his face and knew that his plan today was half successful.

didn't explain it directly at the moment, but just asked Zhao Deyou with a smile and said, "What does Lord Zhao think?" ”

The more such words, the more Zhao Deyou was determined in his heart, Liu Ci must be the future princess Zhongxian, he must have offended her this time, not only offended the future princess, but also offended the prince, and the prince would make him pay the price one day.

Seeing his increasingly frightened appearance, Mu Lan felt that it was almost the same, so he smiled indifferently: "Lord Zhao doesn't have to be so frightened, I came today to offer a good plan to Lord Zhao!" ”

Zhao Deyou was extremely flustered at the moment, and he didn't doubt it when he heard Mu Lan's words, and asked directly: "What is the good policy?" ”

"Adults might as well think about it, what made Miss Liu Ci a suspect and sent to the court? Who is the real culprit behind this case that went to court? ”

Through Mu Lan's suggestion, Zhao Deyou's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Miss Qu, yes, these things are all done by Miss Qu!"

Hearing the answer he wanted, the corners of Mu Lan's mouth also hooked up a wicked smile: "You are right, these things are all done by Miss Qu, I think the prince must be dissatisfied with this Miss Qu in his heart, if the adult can help the prince solve this big problem, I think the prince will no longer worry about the previous things with the adult." ”

Hearing Mu Lan's words, Zhao Deyou suddenly realized, yes, if he helped the prince solve the real culprit behind the scenes and make up for it, then he wanted to put Miss Liu Ci in prison before, and the prince should not care about him.

It's just that the Qu family is also the richest man in Guangyu Prefecture, if he openly opposes the Qu family like this, it will definitely not be good for him, thinking of this, Zhao Deyou began to hesitate again.

Mu Lan saw through his thoughts on the side, sneered, and said coldly: "If the adults are unwilling, then we have no way to force the adults, but I received a message before, you went out with the old man Zhou during the middle of the trial, and I think the old man Zhou also gave you a lot of thank you gifts, right?" ”

She is not unprepared for this time, as an official, who would not have seen something unpleasant? She had inquired about some things before, so she had such confidence to come this time, as long as Zhao Deyou heard about it, she had to compromise with them!

As soon as he heard this, Zhao Deyou thought of the fact that he had received 10,000 taels of silver from Old Man Zhou before, although he had already returned the silver ticket to Old Man Zhou after that, but if this matter really spread, it would not only have a great impact on his image in the minds of the people, but if he knew about it, he would definitely take off his black gauze hat directly.

Thinking of this, Zhao Deyou also began to panic, but he still maintained a superficial composure on his face.

"Are you threatening the officer?"

Mu Lan laughed after hearing this: "I'm just a little slave in the palace, how dare I threaten adults?" I just heard about it by chance, and it's up to the adults to do what they do, after all, we outsiders can't interfere. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Deyou began to think deeply again, the Qu family is the richest man in Guangyu Prefecture, yes, he offended them, he is in the officialdom, at most, he will collect less money, and it will not have much impact on his career.

But if he really offends the prince of Zhongxian, the black gauze hat on his head is still a question of whether he can keep it, not to mention that although this servant girl speaks easily, she has already mastered his handle, and if he doesn't agree, she will not let him go easily.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Deyou made up his mind, although there was a loss in offending the Qu family, it was better than offending the prince.

After making up his mind, Zhao Ze suddenly laughed again, and said in a friendly manner: "Today, thanks to Miss Mu Lan, I didn't think about it properly, so I will go to Qu's house and talk to Old Man Qu about it, and I will definitely not let this Miss Qu appear in front of the prince and Miss Liu Ci again, and hinder their eyes." ”

Hearing this, the corners of Mu Lan's mouth hooked up into a satisfied smile.

"That's very good, then there is Lord Lao."

After Zhao Deyou sent Mu Lan away from the mansion with a smile, his face instantly became gloomy, and Master Cao, who was beside him, saw this scene and hurriedly stepped forward.

"Your Excellency really plans to go to the Qu family in person?"

Zhao De snorted coldly again: "Otherwise? The official didn't want to go, but they even grabbed my handle, and the Qu family had to go this time! ”

Master Cao still didn't understand a little, and asked suspiciously: "But didn't the lord already send me back all the silver tickets of the Zhou family?" Why be limited by this? ”

"Even if those silver tickets have been sent back, if this matter spreads, it will definitely have an impact on the reputation of this official, how can this official continue to be this governor at that time? This time, it was the official's mistake that he didn't find out Liu Ci's status by the prince's side in advance, and if he moved someone who shouldn't be moved, he would have to pay the price. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Deyou sighed deeply, knowing that today, he shouldn't have accepted the 10,000 taels of silver from Old Man Zhou in the first place, and now he has put himself in such an embarrassing situation.

"You go and prepare, this time I will go to the Qu family and bring more people."

Old man Qu has always favored Qu Qiushuang, the eldest lady, if he wants to make the Qu family compromise, I'm afraid it's not that simple, if it really doesn't work, he has to force pressure.
