With the departure of the second prince, the banquet also ended hastily.

Wu Gan was the last to leave, in order to wait for the one hundred and fifty taels of gold. Zhao Yuzheng accompanied Wu Gen out and reminded him in a low voice to be careful these days. This second prince has a violent temperament, and slapped him in the face today, so he can't make some trips.

Less than two miles away from the courtyard, several carriages appeared in front of them, and they were slowly walking along the official road. Wu Jian didn't want to deal with these nobles anymore, so he bowed his head and wanted to surpass.

At this moment, the curtain of a carriage was lifted, and a person's face appeared in front of the window, it was the third prince Zhao Linyun, and there were two companions in the car.

"Your name is Wu Gan." The third prince said gently, not waiting for others to answer, but he opened up again: "It's still far to go back to the city, how about taking a ride together." ”

Wu Gen looked at the elegant furnishings in the car, as well as the calligraphy and paintings spread out on the table, and bowed his hand and politely refused, "Thank you for the love of the three princes, Wu Gen is used to walking, but he is a little unaccustomed to riding in the car." ”

Zhao Linyun didn't care about Wu Gan's refusal, and said as he walked: "You have sinned my second emperor brother today, if you have something to do, you might as well come to my mansion, so as to avoid the limelight, I think he can't demolish my mansion yet." ”

For Zhao Linyun's kindness, Wu Ganzi couldn't say anything, so he could only nod and thank you. Today has offended a prince, Wu Yan is afraid that he can't help it when he gets in the car, and then provokes another prince, so it's better to avoid it.

Back at the inn, Wu Yan sat at the table and sighed, seeing that it was dark, but he didn't light the lamp. It's not a small matter today, so I have to explain it to Mr. Zhu, so as to prevent the other party from doing something behind his back.

Waiting for Zhu Buzhan to come back, Wu Gen hurriedly reported today's situation one by one, only saying that the second prince bullied people, and he had no choice but to fight with his subordinates, but he came back with some gold in vain.

When Zhu Buzhan heard this, his face was a little weird, and he didn't speak until a while, "Wu Gan, it's better not for you to go on this kind of occasion in the future." Now he can also see that Wu Gen is a troublemaker, and he will not stop if he doesn't make a fancy thing anywhere.

"Sir, why are these two princes so hostile to you, is it because of the eldest prince's business." Wu Ganquan didn't hear Zhu Buzhan's words, and asked curiously.

Zhu Buzhan's expression was a little complicated, and he picked the wick with a bamboo stick, and sparks burst out, and the room suddenly lit up.

"Alas, the power is charming, the people are confused, and there are many grievances. I tried to keep the eldest prince, but I didn't want to be jealous of him until now. Forget it, when it comes to such a situation, what difference does it make if you hate more and hate less? ”

Wu Yan lowered his head and looked at the candle shadow on the ground, "Mr. is so difficult in the officialdom, why don't you retreat bravely, but struggle in this quagmire so far." ”

Zhu Buzhan turned his head in surprise and said with relief: "You are old after all, do you remember the first time I invited you to school?" ”

Wu Yan raised his head, and the tavern in Dingyuan City appeared in front of him, "Of course I remember." ”

Zhu Buzhan stood up, took one hand behind his back, clenched the other into a fist, and slowly walked to the window, "You have walked through so many places, and you have seen the situation of many people. The reason why I took the initiative to teach these princes is to let them know from an early age that in this world, outside the thick palace walls, in the places where the sun can't shine, there are still many people who live a precarious life.

In this case, no matter who these people sit in high positions, not to mention how much has changed, at least they can be lenient with these leaders who no one pays attention to. Besides, one day in the middle of the court, I said that I would not be able to affect the court a little, so that the harsh orders would not be frequent and harm the people. Even if the road ahead is turbulent, we should do our best. ”

Wu Yan sighed softly, walked to Zhu Buzhan's side, and looked at the peach tree slowly swaying in the dark, "But this is not fair to the light painting, how many people have been eyeing her because of you." ”

"I know." Zhu Buzhan's body collapsed suddenly, and his eyes were a little painful, "I am not a qualified father, there is no way to make up for it, I can only hope that you can treat her better in the future." Wu Gan, please. ”

"I will, please rest assured, sir." Wu Gan's voice became louder, "Even if God dares to bully her, I dare to lift this day." ”

Zhu Buzhan laughed, "Yes, domineering, it's just a little more murderous." When two people are together, how can there be so many swords and swords, in addition to protecting her, they also have to tolerate her.

Drawing this child, who has been forbearant since childhood, is also gentle and elegant to me, a father, but he has lost his closeness. Only for you, do you show some little daughter attitudes. Therefore, as long as she is happy, no matter what choice she makes, I, as a father, will support it. ”

"Wu Gan, the identity of this noble person is not important to me. You have to believe that there is no flower, it is a flower from the beginning. There is no tree that remains a tree until the end.

Things in this world are changing day by day, and it is impossible to say that in a few years, the way of the world will be very different. The news that you went to deliver medicine to the soldiers has spread in the court, as long as you uphold your heart, it is not a threshold for nobles to be noble. You and the shallow painting are happy, that's enough. ”

Listening to Zhu Buzhan's words, Wu Yan faintly felt a bad feeling in his heart, and was about to ask, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Wu Yan was stunned for a moment, held the handle of the knife with one hand, and went out first. When he opened the courtyard door, there was a strange man standing in front of him, looking a little nervous, constantly looking around. Wu Yan glanced back suspiciously, could it be that this was Mr. Zhu's friend.

"Who are you looking for?" Wu Yan asked, blocking the door to prevent the man from entering.

"I'm looking for Mr. Zhu, and I have something important to tell you." The man's voice trembled a little, and he kept looking behind him, and squeezed through the door regardless of it.

Wu Yan was suspicious in his heart, and it was impossible to let him in. The man squeezed twice and failed to shake Wu Gan at all, it seems that this person is just an ordinary person, and he has no cultivation.

Zhu Buzhan walked to the gate of the courtyard, patted Wu Gen's shoulder, and motioned for him to open the courtyard door. "What do you call your Excellency, what is the matter with visiting late at night."

The man's face was anxious, and he said almost pleadingly: "Sir, I am from the Shaofu, and I have something important to report, so please let me in and listen to my details." Please rest assured, sir, I will not harm the heart of a sir. ”

Zhu Buzhan nodded, "Please come with me." ”

The man crossed over to Wu Yan and followed closely behind Zhu Buzhan. Wu Gen glanced outside the courtyard, and didn't find anything unusual, so he covered the courtyard door and followed in.

When he arrived at the house, Zhu Buxian made a cup of tea for the man. The man took the tea in his hand, picked it up and put it in his mouth, but he was scalded and coughed.

Zhu Buzhan stretched his hand and pressed it down, "This brother, don't worry. ”

The man struggled to stop coughing, leaned back in his chair, let out a long breath, and stared blankly at the roof.

Wu Gen and Zhu Buzhan glanced at each other, both of them were a little confused, and they didn't know what this uninvited guest meant by visiting late at night.

After a while, the man finally relented and slowly straightened up, "Mr. Zhu, it's really presumptuous, I can't help it, so I found your house." Speaking of this, the man glanced at Wu Gan.

"This person is my student, if Brother Tai has something to say, it doesn't matter." Zhu Buzhan saw what the other party meant.

After thinking about it, the man groped in his arms for a long time, then took out a piece of paper and respectfully handed it to Zhu Buzhan, "Sir, please take a look, and then let me explain it in detail for Mr. after reading it." ”

Zhu Buzhan took the paper, glanced at it by the candlelight, his face changed suddenly, and he looked up at the man, but he lowered his head and looked at it carefully.

What is written on the paper is the names of some people, the first one is the second prince Zhao Linge, and then below, there are the names of the eldest princess Zhao Rong and Shaofu Qing Rongkui, and then there is a long list.

"What does that mean?" Zhu Buzhan handed the paper to Wu Gan, who was probing his brain on the side, with a very serious expression.

"Sir, my name is Zeng Nong, and I am the Shaofu Weaving Room Order." The man hurriedly replied: "Rong Kui is rebellious, and he has formed friends with the eldest princess and the second prince to conspire for the throne.

Not only that, but these people also gathered a group of internal and external officials, who supported each other, and met secretly from time to time, trying to disadvantage the current saint. The names on these pieces of paper are all people I know in tandem. ”

Zhu Buzhan's hand tightly grasped the corner of the table, and his muscles flared up, "How did Your Excellency get this list, why did you send it to me again, if these people are really resentful, wouldn't it be better to hand it directly to Tingwei or to the emperor." ”

When Wu Yan heard it, yes, this big thing of killing the head is not suitable for a small Guozijian Si Ye. If this is called Zeng Nong's deliberate drag Zhu Buzhan into troubled waters, Wu Yan doesn't mind letting him have a good taste of the iron fist of the village master.

Zeng Nong smiled bitterly and arched his hand, "Mr. Su Wen is noble, Zeng Nong really has no other way." I was killed by Rong Kui in Shaofu, not only did I lose my official position, but he was also ready to accuse me of greedy ink and wanted to put me to death, so I took the risk.

As for the origin of this list, since I was also one of them, there is no doubt about it. Why don't you report it to Tingwei, I can't trust them, if you give it to Tingwei, I will be dead before this list is out of Tingwei's mansion. And the emperor also has their people, and I am afraid that my recital will be robbed before I reach the palace.

Although the emperor has demoted your official position, he actually wanted to protect Mr. at that time, and he still trusted Mr. very much in his heart. Moreover, all the officials in the court and the central government all knew that this Rong Kui had always been at odds with Mr., and he tried to use vicious methods several times, but in the end he was blocked by the emperor. So, in desperation, I had to find Mr. with a shy face. ”

Zhu Buzhan was silent, this Zeng Nong probably hated Rong Kui to the core, so he found his so-called opponent, hoping to use his connections in the court to bring Rong Kui down.

Wu Yan on the side was curious: "Why did Rong Kui deal with you, but what did you do behind your back to be sorry for him." ”

Hearing this, Zeng Nong was furious, his eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire, and he thought about it for a long time with a painful face, before he said dejectedly, "Come on, since you have come to this point, what else can't you say." That Rong Kui is very strict by the eldest prince on weekdays, and he is not allowed to get close to other women.

He was selling himself for glory, so how could he have any feelings for the eldest princess. Maybe I held it back for too long, and I took a risk and fornicated with my wife. Later, my wife left the house, and I don't know where he was hiding. You say, who can endure such a great shame? ”

Wu Yan couldn't help but feel sympathy when he heard it, this person was originally cuckolded by his boss.
