Su Rong sat up straight, planning to have an open and honest conversation with Jiang Xing.

So, under Jiang Xing's puzzled eyes, she lowered her voice and asked him directly: "If you are implicated by Jiang Sheng and punish the Nine Clans, do you want to live or die?" ”

Jiang Xing was stunned, "What does this mean?" ”

"It's literal." Su Rong stared at his eyes, she wanted to save Jiang Xing, and asking him to do so today actually made Zhou Gu take a certain risk, after all, if Jiang Sheng leaked the news, it would be difficult for Zhou Gu to explain to the prince.

Jiang Xing's face gradually turned pale, and his expression was panicked, "Implicated, punish the nine clans, this, this ......", he couldn't speak for a while, "Then my parents ......"

He is an only child.

"Since it is the Zhujiu clan, your parents will naturally be implicated together." Su Rong looked at him and waited patiently for Jiang Xing, after all, anyone who heard this would be frightened.

Jiang Xing opened his mouth, "You—Did you get any news?" ”

He was already smart, thinking that Su Rong would not call him here to talk to him for no reason, especially when he was accompanied by Zhou Gu.

Su Rong nodded, "That's right." ”

"Then you ......" Jiang Xing's face changed.

Su Rong said simply: "We have known each other for several years, you and my eldest brother are good friends, you are talented and have a good character, I know that you are ready to end up in Jinqiu, if you are implicated in this, let alone taking the exam to become an official in the court, your life will be gone." So, when I got the news, I thought, if you want to live, bring your family with you and think of ideas for you. Of course, if you die with the Jiang clan, I haven't looked for you. ”

She said unceremoniously: "This matter has a lot to do with it, I brought Zhou Gu to come, and I also made him take a certain risk, this matter came out of my mouth and into your ears, and it can't be revealed to Jiang Sheng." Of course, I won't let you reveal it to Jiang Sheng, no one can save Jiang Sheng, he will die. ”

Jiang Xing's face turned pale and looked at Zhou Gu, Zhou Gu sat lazily, as if he was just a companion, he didn't intend to express his opinion, and he didn't squeak, but from Su Rong's words, he vaguely heard that the news was from Zhou Gu.

He barely stabilized his mind, "My family is a side branch of the Jiang family, and Miss Seven knows about it, so I don't have much affection for my eldest uncle Jiang Sheng." But...... But there are hundreds of people in the Jiang family, is the eldest uncle a big deal? ”

Su Rong heard from his words that he didn't care about the Jiang Sheng family, but he cared about the Jiang family, and it was true that the family was huge, and it was helpful to his children and grandchildren, even if he was a side branch, he was also protected by the family, if the family was gone, he would be weak.

She wasn't afraid to tell him, "Assassinating the prince, do you say it's a big deal?" ”

Jiang Xing's heart was shocked, assassinating the prince was naturally a big crime, and it was a big crime to punish the nine clans.

Su Rong clearly pointed out to him, "So, if it is only Jiang Sheng's family, how can it offset such a big crime? If so, everyone will be able to assassinate the prince. I can't save the whole Jiang clan, and you can't save it yourself. Now you are the only one who can be saved, at most plus your parents. ”

Jiang Xing nodded, this information was too big, he couldn't digest it for a while, and after a while, he said with difficulty: "I was enlightened at the age of two, I studied at the age of three, and my parents cut down on food and clothing, just so that I can read good books, gain fame, and shine on the lintel." I don't want to die, and I don't want my parents to die. ”

He raised his head, looked at Su Rong, and made a choice, "Miss Seven, thank you." ”

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me just yet." Su Rong shook his head, "I found you because I had the intention to save you, and I also felt that it would be a pity if you were implicated." ”

After she finished speaking, she looked at Zhou Gu, "I can only tell you the news and let you make a choice, if you want to save your own family, or you still want to really save yourself." ”

"How can I save it?" Jiang Xing asked.

Su Rong finished saying what she had to say, and seeing that Zhou Gu didn't squeak, she reached out and pulled Zhou Gu's sleeve, "Brother Zhou, you talk to Jiang Xing, what should he do, you tell him." ”

Zhou Gu didn't admit that he just wanted to listen to this Brother Zhou, and he didn't say anything for a long time, you must know that when he first saw Su Rong, he sternly vetoed Su Rong and called him Brother Zhou, but he didn't expect that in just over 20 days, he actually felt that she was very pleasant to hear Brother Zhou.

What a hell!

Zhou Gu's crooked body straightened, and when he saw Jiang Xing's eyes, he met his gaze, "To solve the bell, you must tie the bell, Jiang Sheng assassinated His Royal Highness the Prince, only to cause this trouble, and was found out by His Royal Highness, if you want to protect your family, take refuge in the prince!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will naturally be open to his own people. ”

Jiang Xing muttered, "Take refuge in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? ”

"Yes." Zhou Gu bowed, "You are talented, I will recommend you to His Royal Highness the Prince." Taking advantage of the fact that the holy decree of the nine clans has not yet arrived in Jiangzhou, I will write a letter, you collect some evidence, expose Jiang Shengyin's evil deeds, and then you will kill your relatives righteously, do not join Jiang Sheng's pollution, and leave the family for the sake of Qingliu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will use this as an excuse to protect your family, so that you can still conduct scientific research as scheduled. ”

After Zhou Gu finished speaking, he added, "Only this way." ”

Jiang Xing also knew that under the Zhujiu clan, there was no choice, he nodded, and the panic in his eyes faded, "I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is self-denying, upright, gentle and square, and has both ability and political integrity?" ”

"Not bad."

Jiang Xing breathed a sigh of relief, "It is also my wish to follow such a prince. ”

Coming out of the drunken goose workshop, Jiang Xing separated from Su Rong and Zhou Gu and returned to the house to prepare.

Watching him walk away, Su Rong said to Zhou Gu, "You send someone to keep an eye on him secretly." ”

Zhou Gu raised his eyebrows, "So cautious." ”

"Yes, I'm afraid I've seen the wrong person, I'm sorry for you." Although Su Rong and Jiang Xing are familiar with each other, they don't have much contact, even if he makes a decision and his words are sincere, she can't really believe him.

Zhou Gu bent the corners of his mouth, in a happy mood, "I thought he admired you, and you should have some confidence in him." ”

Su Rong was speechless, "That's not how it is. ”

Zhou Gu raised his eyebrows, "Then how do you calculate it?" I just knew you were so defensive. ”

Su Rong thought to herself that if she was not very guarded, she would have died eight hundred times since she was a child, and she deliberately said good things, "Isn't this about you?" I'm afraid that if something goes wrong from Jiang Xing, it will be difficult for you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to explain. ”

Zhou Gu was noncommittal, waved his hand and called a person, and instructed him, "Keep an eye on Jiang Xing secretly, if there is anything abnormal, kill him." ”

This person should have quietly followed the distant Jiang Xing.

Su Rong didn't have any opinion when he heard this, if Jiang Xing said one thing and did another, sooner or later he would die, and let Zhou Gu's people kill him and deserve it.

Zhou Gu glanced at the sky and asked, "Back home?" ”

"Are you tired?" Su Rong asked.

"Not tired." Zhou Gu shook his head.

Su Rong smiled at him, "Since you're not tired, let's go to the Splendid Pavilion, right?" Yesterday, I met Zhou Xi, he asked me which embroidery workshop in Jiangning has good embroidery skills, and said that you didn't bring many clothes when you left Beijing, you have to make a few, I told him that I wrapped your clothes, so he didn't have to care. ”

Zhou Gu looked stunned, "You want to give me clothes?" ”

"Don't you?" Su Rong looked at him.

Zhou Gu wanted to say yes, but he looked at Su Rong, "Do you have any silver?" ”

"I still have the money to give you a few sets of clothes, just like buying wine, and the Splendid Pavilion can keep accounts." Su Rong blinked.

Seeing her say this, Zhou Gu suppressed the joy in his heart, "Yes, go!" ”

It's a big deal how much it costs, and he will make it up for her later.

If he hadn't seen Xie Lin come to Jiangning, he would have been embarrassed to ask his fiancée to give him clothes, but this wasn't Xie Lin coming to Jiangning, and when they met, he would always show off with Xie Lin, right? It is not easy to be convincing by empty words, but he has to let him see with his own eyes that if he is wearing the clothes given to her by Su Rong, it will be enough to convince Xie Lin.

Zhou Gu walked lightly and followed Su Rong to the Splendid Pavilion.

As soon as he walked a short distance, he heard someone behind him shouting to him, "Zhou Gu! ”

It was a familiar voice, and he had heard it since he was a child.

Zhou Gu turned around, and sure enough, he saw Xie Lin calling him, and he didn't know where to get out from behind him, he raised his eyebrows, thinking that this person really couldn't help but think, he was going to wait for his clothes to show off in front of him a moment ago, and he appeared at this moment, but he appeared just in time, and he could invite him to go to the Splendid Pavilion together.

He doesn't have a fiancée to give him clothes, so let him be jealous!

Zhou Gu smiled, seeing Xie Lin, as if he had seen a relative, he was very happy, and after seeing Xie Lin shouting at him, he stood still and did not move, he waved to him enthusiastically, "Xie Lin?" What are you doing here? What are you doing standing? Come here! ”

See you tomorrow~
