Chapter 339: The Price of Betrayal

In the blink of an eye, it is the first day of August.

The wedding day of the eighth prince Zhu Yongtai.

The emperor intended to raise it, and said early in the morning that he would come with the concubine in person. The emperor has gone, and the people who received the post earlier don't dare not show their faces even if they don't want to.

Rong'an is no exception.

Go.

She was going to go.

Yiwei met with Tao Yun and asked her how the matter of Guo Chuanyu was.

The second is Yan Feiqing's matter.

Speaking of which, too, is troublesome. Originally, her three stinkers also had two ways to deal with Zhu Yonglin. But the recent goods are probably because the prince was suppressed, so he didn't dare to take the lead at all. For many days, he shrank at home like a partridge, so that Sanmei had the means but no target. There are some things that are hateful, pay attention to the right time and place, and as soon as the opportunity is missed, their means will automatically become invalid.

Because of this, Yan Feiqing didn't dare to "recover" after more than half a month, and still pretended to be sick carefully every day, not even daring to get out of bed...... lest Zhu Yonglin receive the news and propose marriage again.

There is no doubt today that Zhu Yonglin will definitely show his face.

Even if they can't see the opportunity, they have to recalculate the means.

The decree of the king arrived early in the morning.

The Eighth Prince became the "King of Thailand".

Crowned king, opened the mansion and got married. Three joys came to the door, and the saint congratulated him, but he caught up with the marriage of King Xing's eldest son.

Meaningful, chewy!

The emperor gave thirty-six rewards, especially generous.

Lined up in turn, blinding people's eyes, how many people's hearts are sour, and they hate it again and again.

Rushing to work day and night, the mansion that was carved out was even more pleasing to the eye, exquisite and extraordinary, which made the smile on the prince's face stiffen again and again. This house should have been his! His! He has taken a fancy to him for many years, and said that it was a reward for his wedding!

The pomp of the wedding, the luxurious house, and the expensive rewards all made his heart ache.

Full of unwillingness to be pressed down by him, forcibly digested into a bearing, he wandered among the crowd, showing his mind, almost suffocating and internal injuries......

Liao Jing also came.

Dressed in the most beautiful outfit, put on the most beautiful makeup, and looked noble, revealing the bearing of the first person beside her prince.

Mrs. Liao was reluctant to attend because her granddaughter was humiliated a while ago, so it was the Wei family who came to congratulate on behalf of the Liao family.

It doesn't matter if others are happy or not, anyway, Wei and Liao Jing feel that this is the most proud day of their mother and daughter in more than ten years......

Before the wedding began, the Holy Lord personally introduced the county lord of Changning to everyone.

The emperor explained in public the reason why he did not hold a welcome banquet for Changning earlier: the days were not good in July.

He said that he would hold a palace banquet to welcome him in a few days.

Changning smiled sweetly and bluntly said that he was insignificant and didn't need to hold a special banquet. Now that he has appeared today, he will rub the light, even if he has already held a banquet.

The emperor was very satisfied with her acquaintance, and said that he was not reluctant, so he waited for the palace banquet on August 15 to congratulate her.

Changning is well-behaved, and the emperor sees it in his eyes and feels much more pleasing to the eye......

Rong An hated the intrigues of those superiors, and she had to be careful when she even spoke, she was too lazy to deal with it, so she asked Tao Yun to go to the corner early in the morning to talk and asked Guo Chuanyu about it.

"The first thing my old man checked was his reputation among his colleagues. This Guo Pin has a good interpersonal relationship in Hanlin Academy, is modest, works carefully, and has a very good reputation. My grandfather secretly asked a lot of people, and almost everyone praised him. ”

Tao Yun looked at Rong An, "Can you understand what I mean?" She suddenly wanted to try Rong'an.

"Yes. That's what he meant in an extraordinary way. Right? No one is perfect, and there are always advantages and disadvantages. Even you and I will be talked about. It's impossible for everyone to say yes. That can only mean that the person can pretend, or deliberately hide his own shortcomings. Moreover, the Hanlin Academy is divided into factions, and each faction checks and balances and competes with each other, and he can make all factions say good, which shows that he is extraordinary. ”

Tao Yun nodded. This Yu Rongan, he usually underestimates it.

"What I'm most curious about is that they all say that his family background is not good, and it stands to reason that he has no backer, but why did it take his turn to attend the banquet that day?" Looking at the audience that day, they were all the children of powerful and high-ranking officials, and he was the most maverick one.

"I asked."

Tao Yun has always been cautious in doing things, and since he opened his mouth to his grandfather, he naturally won't let go of what he wants to check.

"On that day of the palace banquet, in fact, there was only one place for young talents in the Hanlin Academy. There are not many people in the Hanlin Temple who meet the requirement of 'young unmarried and unmarried'. But there are also two more qualified than Guo Pin.

One is Hua Chuanlu of the last imperial examination, who rose to prominence in the imperial examination, but delayed his marriage because he returned to his hometown to keep filial piety. There is also Liu Bangyan, who is Guo Pin's contemporary. In terms of results, whether it is the results of the imperial examination, official character or qualifications, he and the two are more qualified than Guo Pin.

But is it a coincidence? Hua Chuanyu, who is in the name of filial piety, took leave a while ago, saying that his widowed mother was also seriously ill and had to return to his hometown to serve the sick. Liu Bangyan sprained his foot when he went out a few days before the competition. As a result, the two people in front of the queue had no chance, and it was Guo Chuanyu's turn. ”

"I never believe in coincidences." Rong An said bluntly. "Have you found the backer behind him?"

Those who can enter the officialdom must have been picked up again and again by their family background. Since they all say that his family background is not good, it will naturally not be wrong. Then he can easily go up, and there will be ghosts without anyone secretly supporting him.

Don't be afraid of anything else, but I'm afraid that the ghost will haunt you or the people around you.

Look, hasn't Chang Rufei already lost her soul?

Rong An and Tao Yun both withdrew their gaze from a distance.

They all saw that the area where Chang Rufei probed her brain and stared in the direction of the male guest was where a group of sour and rotten literati stood.

"I can't find it. The other party is very cautious. What about you? What can I find? ”

"Nope!"

Rong An sighed. My father's men stared at him for a while. But he basically didn't socialize, and after he went down, he just talked to his colleagues. "For example, the Ge family. And I have also inquired about the content of the speech, and it is all academic seriousness.

If it weren't for the results of Changning's temptation that day, she wouldn't believe that this person was inconsistent.

"It doesn't matter if you can't find the person behind the scenes, I'm just worried about how to make Chang Rufei die for him. I saw how hot she was, hotter than the one she had been. Tao Yun said coldly.

After all, there are many suitors for the prince, and everyone has little hope, so they are all mentally prepared for failure. But at this moment, Chang Rufei is afraid that she has really taken the bait.

Rong An saw Tao Yun sighing for a long time, and couldn't help patting his chest: "Leave this matter to me." I'll promise to keep that scum out of the way. "Since he can't catch the king of Hades behind him, then he will directly behead this bull ghost and snake god who is a pioneer, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

"That's fine. I'll just go to the theater. If there is anything you want to help me again. Tao Yun hugged his chest and squinted. At this point, isn't it time to get down to business? ”

"What do you mean by that?" What's the matter? There are many people today, and they must not be able to do anything to Zhu Yonglin. I don't know when the next time I see him.

"You just said that even I have people talking behind my back. Say! What bad things do they say about me? ”

"......" is just a head, so serious? Rong An laughed. "Your biggest fault is that you're too smart. The second is that it is too calm and transparent. Of course, if you mix with me, you will be talked about more and more in the future. If you want to keep your name clear, you might as well stay away from me! ”

"You're wrong!" Tao Yun smiled: "Do you know why I'm with you?" ”

"Huh?"

"Only by standing with you can I look perfect."

Rong An rolled up his sleeves, and Tao Yun hid directly behind Chang Rufei and laughed.

Rong An raised his eyebrows, which is good.

Tao Yun lived too soberly, and he had never seen her laugh in his previous life, let alone joke. At this moment, she can live happily, and it will not be in vain to make her feel guilty. The people around you in this life will be better, right? ……

Rong An was with Xiaoyou, and Changning found Wei over there.

Wei never expected that the county lord would come to find him.

After hearing the intention, she almost laughed so much that she covered her stomach and couldn't stand up, and politely gave Changning a heavy gold bracelet as a meeting gift.

Well, Changning she, sold Yu Rongying's blood book to the Wei family.

Three thousand taels.

This was Changning's idea.

Since Rong An said that it was very troublesome, then she would find a middleman. Wei wanted both revenge and trouble, so he naturally responded......

As soon as he returned to Liao's house, Wei took out the blood book and gave Liao Wenci a resounding slap in front of everyone, which stunned everyone and provoked the old lady to scold.

"Ancestor!" Wei wiped away tears. "Do you know how much I have been wronged, how much ridicule I have provoked, how many white eyes I have eaten, and how much silver I have spent to get this blood book back?"

Wei stomped his feet.

"Look at the good things your son has done!" She threw the blood book in front of Liao Wenci. "This is the good son you taught! Did you grow up eating bear's heart leopard gall? Is it a habit to kill people and set fires? How can anyone dare to touch it? ”

Liao Wenci held the blood book with trembling hands and sat directly on the ground.

"It's your son's handwriting, isn't it?"

She was silent. It's the son's word, and it can't be wrong.

"What's going on!" Old Madam Liao grabbed the blood book and read it in ten lines at a glance.

This is to the effect that as long as they can help him escape, his mother and the Liao family should repay him with a blood letter. The remuneration consisted of three thousand taels of silver. Three antiques, plus three commitments......

They didn't know that when Yu Rongying wrote the blood book, she just wanted to use heavy profits to lure the other party into the bait first, and she didn't plan to fulfill all the ...... in the blood book in the future

Mrs. Liao's face collapsed instantly.

Loser thing! What is he? Can he still negotiate on behalf of the Liao family?

Wei saw it in his eyes and continued to wipe his tears.

"Yu Rongying, he first lured the county lord of Changning the night before yesterday to rescue him from the general's mansion and opened this blood book. After the defeat was revealed, he took the county lord hostage, set fire to it and almost killed someone. ”

"Bastard!" Mrs. Liao scolded not only Yu Rongying, but also Wei. "It's just one side! It's just a blood book, what a number have been done! So you gave the county lord of Changning three thousand taels and got this thing back? ”

"What a one-sided statement! It's conclusive! ”

Wei Shi was not stunned, and howled sharply.

"On the day of the incident, Ge Shi entered the banquet, and everyone was arrested. The victim was the county lord, and there were a lot of witnesses. There are not only the princes of Yan'an, but also the officers and soldiers in the army and the relatives of the Yu family, and the ghost knows how many guests there are. Do you think this kind of lie can be told? Do you think it can be done if it didn't happen? ”

Liao Wenci frowned, and asked weakly: "Can ...... I didn't hear any wind! ”

Wei sneered.

"It's the county lord who just entered Beijing, and I'm afraid of losing face, so I begged the general's mansion to help me silence it. But not making a big fuss doesn't mean that people are willing to settle things. Today, the county lord came to me to ask me to explain, do I dare to refuse?

What day is it? The emperor is here! Do you think the lord is stupid? She deliberately brought it up at today's banquet, didn't she threaten me? Think about it, even if you take 10,000 steps back, even if it's all fake, this blood book is fake, this incident is fake, but if the county lord of Changning asks the emperor to reason, do you think the emperor will not give face to the county lord who first appeared today?

People are wronged! It is related to the reputation of Yan'an and the county lord, and the emperor asked, can this matter be investigated?

Yu Rongying is Ronghua's younger brother, he has a bad character, and it affects your Hua'er! Even my family Jing'er has to suffer! Do you still think that there are not many scandals in the Liao family recently? Does Hua'er still want to enter the Prince's Mansion? The crown princess became the crown prince Liangdi, and then she came out of the basket, but there was nothing!

In order to seal Changning's mouth, I said that even the bracelet on my hand was given away, and people were willing to take a step back! If you don't believe, ask us.

I put the ugly words behind. See for yourselves! Or, pay me back 3,000 taels and pay me a bracelet. Or, return the blood book to me, just as my kind donkey's liver and lungs, and I will return it to the county lord. I don't care what she wants. ”

There was silence for a few breaths, and no one spoke.

Wei snorted and stepped forward to grab the blood book, but Liao Wenci naturally couldn't give it. Not to mention that she confirmed that it was written by her son, even if it was true as Wei said was false, she didn't dare to bet. Hua'er and Ying'er can't make any more mistakes.

"Really...... Really gave three thousand taels? Her heart was bleeding.

"I can't lie to you. I coaxed the county lord to go to the money village together. In front of the shopkeeper, he handed over the silver ticket to the county lord. It's still the same sentence, if you don't believe it, check it yourself! ”

"Yes...... I don't have three thousand taels. "Liao Wenci still has silver.

Since she became an abandoned woman, the shops in her hands have also been taken away by the old lady. The name is beautiful: it is inconvenient for her to show her face, so help her take care of one or two. How could she not understand the actual meaning? She is no longer worthy to dominate those estates. Unless Hua'er is promising, those shops are still from the Liao family.

And she was robbed of a sum of silver by Zhu Chengyi last time, and later the General's Mansion asked her to prepare a dowry for Hua'er. In order to help her daughter overpower Liao Jing, she sold part of the jewelry and antiques she had accumulated over the years.

At this time, there is another three thousand taels, is she not stretched? can make up for it, but if she takes out the three thousand taels, she won't even have the last bit of confidence.

"Then I don't care!" Wei sneered on his face, and laughed in his heart. This amount was suggested by her and Changning. It is to let Liao Wenci hold back the fire for the pain of the flesh, not for the heartache.

"Anyway, I took out the real money. If you can't go back to the basket that your children poked, let me and Jing'er repair the hole for you. ”

Wei sat with his chest crossed, sipping lotus seed tea.

She's not in a hurry.

She didn't have to worry about not getting her money back. At this moment, his own Jing'er is a treasure. Liao Wenci is not qualified to negotiate conditions.
