Chapter Seventy-Three: Boiling Frogs in Warm Water

In Tongming Alley, the sun was quite dazzling, but under the shade of the dense orange trees, it was also a little cool, but Gu Shiyan's heart was a little panicked at the moment, and fine beads of sweat crawled all over her cheeks.

She looked at Jiang Tingyu, who was sitting opposite with a smile and drinking tea, with some trepidation.

Although those words were said in a very calm tone, and Gu Shiyan could deny it, the breath exuded by Jiang Tingyu's body made her a little breathless, and she couldn't say half a word of rebuttal.

She picked up the teacup in front of her, drank it silently, and struggled down her somewhat dry throat before regaining some calm.

Jiang Tingyu just looked at Gu Shiyan with a smile, and said again: "You took a thousand taels of gold from the Tianxing Casino, but the Tianxing Casino didn't do anything, you just made some money under the banner of just making some money, but you just drew your sword to beg for money, the Tianxing Gambling House swallowed her anger, obviously someone instructed you, and that Wang Tianxing couldn't help it in the end, so he just took advantage of Guan Muyun's appearance to attack you." ”

"Can you tell me why you're keeping an eye on the Star Casino?"

Gu Shiyan was silent.

Jiang Tingyu said: "You can choose to be silent, but the people behind the Tianxing Gambling House have already targeted you, do you think you have the ability to fight against it?

Seeing that Gu Shiyan still didn't speak, Jiang Tingyu said again: "Li Mengzhou is a secret agent of the Heavenly Academy, codenamed Qingjiu, you can completely trust me, as long as what you do does not violate my principles and Jiang Guo's principles, I can help you settle all the troubles afterwards, and you can continue to do what you want to do." ”

Gu Shiyan's face changed slightly, she looked at Jiang Tingyu in a daze, was silent for a long time, and said softly: "Li Mengzhou and I got a list in Yanzi Town, and Wang Tianxing is also on the list. ”

Jiang Tingyu frowned lightly and said, "What list?"

Gu Shiyan reached into her arms, took out the list, and put it in front of Jiang Tingyu.

She put her hands under the table a little nervously, this is just her expedient measure, otherwise it will be difficult to get out of Jiang Tingyu, in fact, her real thoughts, and things to do, it is impossible to tell Jiang Tingyu just like that.

But although Jiang Tingyu's face was very calm and she spoke very kindly, the invisible sense of oppression in that atmosphere still shocked Gu Shiyan, she could only try to stay calm, but in fact, she was still very flustered, and all this was seen by Jiang Tingyu.

He didn't say anything, just looked at the list silently.

The name of the company is also impressive.

And there are many court officials in this list, even a market figure like Wang Tianxing.

Jiang Tingyu's expression was slightly solemn.

Even if Gu Shiyan didn't explain anything, he could still connect some things from these names.

He hesitated for a moment, handed the list to Qing Yi who was standing next to him, and said to Gu Shiyan: "I leave the list, you shouldn't have any opinions, this is also good for you." ”

Gu Shiyan nodded, since she took out this list, she didn't think about taking it back.

Jiang Tingyu said indifferently: "Recently, be more stable, stay in Chaosi Lane and don't do anything." ”

Gu Shiyan was slightly stunned, she thought that Jiang Tingyu would continue to ask, although she couldn't figure it out, she was also secretly relieved.

Because if Jiang Tingyu really asked again, she really didn't know how to make up a set of credible lies for a while.

Qing Yi raised his head at this time, silently glanced outside the courtyard wall, and then glanced at Jiang Tingyu again, and continued to bow his head and remain silent.

Jiang Tingyu poured another cup of tea for Gu Shiyan and said, "Let's leave after drinking this cup of tea." ”

Gu Shiyan picked up the teacup, feeling a little apprehensive in her heart, thinking that she was worthy of being the head of the Heavenly Academy, it was really terrifying.

She faintly felt that Jiang Tingyu seemed to know something, and that feeling made her very uncomfortable, and her hands holding the teacup trembled slightly.

......

Prince Lu's Mansion.

Qin Chengyi, who was sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard and drinking tea silently, looked calm and abnormal, even Song Yidao, who had been by Qin Chengyi's side for many years, didn't know what His Highness was thinking at this moment.

Wang Tianxing went to Chaosi Lane to kill Gu Shiyan but was killed by Gu Shiyan instead, and this matter also belonged to Qin Chengyi's arrangement.

The purpose is, of course, what the preface says is that Gu Shiyan killed people because of the revelation of her deeds.

But after all, Wang Tianxing is a high-grade monk in the Four Realms, although Wang Tianxing is definitely going to die, but before he dies, he will definitely not be reconciled, even if he subconsciously will do his best, Gu Shiyan can still easily kill Wang Tianxing, indicating that she may have broken through to the peak of the Four Realms.

Although Qin Chengyi didn't think about what Gu Shiyan could do at the beginning, it was nothing more than a game, and by the way, it would be great if he could find out Gu Shiyan's purpose for the Tianxing Casino, but Liu Feiyu used Jiang Tingyu's mouth to help Gu Shiyan testify, which was still a little unexpected for Qin Chengyi.

The so-called Tianxing Gambling House is a dark chess piece lurking in the capital of Beiyan, of course, it is nonsense, and no one knows this matter better than Qin Chengyi.

Compared with why Liu Feiyu would help Gu Shiyan testify, Qin Chengyi was more concerned about Jiang Tingyu.

Song Yidao suddenly said at this time: "Your Highness, after Gu Shiyan came out of Jingzhao Mansion, she went to Tongming Lane, which is Jiang Tingyu's residence in the capital, and there is the aura of heaven and earth blocking, no one can detect anything inside, but our people can see the situation in Tongming Lane clearly." ”

Qin Chengyi said lightly: "The so-called clarity is just what Jiang Tingyu wants you to know, and what he doesn't want you to know, you can't see it or hear it anyway." ”

Song Yidao was silent for a moment, this is indeed the case, the situation in Tongming Lane is a little different from the time Gu Shiyan came to Tongming Lane, what they heard and saw was definitely not everything.

The list in Yue Shiting's hand was really in Gu Shiyan's hand, and she handed over the list to Jiang Tingyu. ”

Qin Chengyi narrowed his eyes and said, "Jiang Tingyu doesn't necessarily know who is snooping outside, but he obviously deliberately wants the snoopers to see this matter, this is a silent warning, and it is impossible to get that list in Jiang Tingyu's hands." ”

"Jiang Tingyu is the head of the Heavenly Council, even if there was an incident in which people from outside the mountain hid in the palace to murder the queen, it failed to make His Majesty have a dislike for Jiang Tingyu, he is still the most trusted person of His Majesty. With his ability, he may be able to detect something from that list, but it doesn't mean anything, but at least we can't act rashly, and this thing should be treated as if it never happened. ”

Song Yidao bowed slightly, and did not speak again.

This matter has obviously become a little complicated, although Jiang Tingyu's reputation is very loud, but in fact, Song Yidao did not take him very seriously, but it cannot be denied that Jiang Tingyu's power in the court is very strong, especially because he is favored by His Majesty the Emperor, and he must not be careless.

He is looking forward to the day when he can draw his sword in front of Jiang Tingyu in a bright and bright face.

......

......

Baihong Town.

Taojia Winery.

When Tao Shi discussed the conditions with the Tong family sisters and brothers and revealed his true thoughts, the Tong sisters and brothers waved their sleeves and left angrily, especially Tong Lu, and cursed Tao Shi directly to his face, but Tao Shi didn't care about this, he thought that his winery was about to cooperate with the Ye clan's Taiqing Building, as long as Tong Xin's mind remained unchanged, he would agree to this condition sooner or later.

After all, the Tao family is about to rise, and even if they don't put the richest man in Baihong Town in their eyes, the Tong family can only rely on their Tao family.

He just wants to boil the frog in warm water, and his attitude has been released, it depends on how Tong Xin chooses, and he is not in a hurry at all now.

But out of prudence, Tao Shi also secretly sent someone to investigate Li Mengzhou to see if there was really no problem with his identity.

Li Mengzhou is indeed temporarily living in the dilapidated alley, and Tao Shi also sent someone to Jinzhou to find out, only in Jinzhou Taiqing Lou to confirm, Tao Shi will be at ease, because Jinzhou is not close to Baihong Town, even if it is a quick horse, it is not a few days to return, although it is very eager to cooperate with Taiqing Building, but Tao Shi to determine Li Mengzhou's identity, but also on the grounds of preparing wine, try to delay time.

He was also a little apprehensive about this, after all, if Li Mengzhou's identity was not a problem, he deliberately delayed time, which would also be accompanied by great risks.

Obviously, he had already said that he would complete Li Mengzhou's explanation as quickly as possible, but he couldn't get the wine for a long time, so he couldn't say anything.

But fortunately, Li Mengzhou didn't seem to be in a hurry, and Tao Shi could only do things silently tacitly, not daring to take the initiative to explain to Li Mengzhou.

And so the days passed.

Of course, Li Mengzhou also understands what Tao Shi is doing, if Tao Shi really believes his words easily, and there is no investigation at all, then I am afraid that he will not be able to develop the Tao Family Winery to the point of being one of the best in Baihong Town.

It's just that the reputation of the Ye clan's Taiqinglou is too loud, and it is quite a bit shocking to Tao Shi, so he doesn't dare to have any other thoughts at first, but secretly he will definitely further confirm Li Mengzhou's identity.

But as Tao Shi was entangled, Jinzhou was not close to Baihong Town, and Li Mengzhou certainly couldn't wait for Tao Shi to find the problem, so he felt that the time was almost up, so he set off directly towards Taojia Winery.

His real purpose is to 'rob the rich and help the poor', not to play games purely with Tao Shi, since he decided to do it, of course, he has to do things absolutely, but in other words, although Tao Shi is a profiteer, he has also harmed many people in Baihong Town, but after all, he has not caused any death, and Li Mengzhou cannot directly destroy the Tao family, but it is not a problem to take away half of the Tao family's assets.

It's not that Li Mengzhou is ruthless, but this matter has already been done, if he doesn't do it all, Tao Shi will definitely retaliate, even if Li Mengzhou doesn't care about Tao Shi's revenge at all, but it's also very troublesome, so in order to avoid trouble, he can only let Tao Shi be unlucky, who let him be targeted by Li Mengzhou.
