Chapter 19: Bait (3)

Zhou Yongcheng rolled his eyes, and replied with a loyal and courageous expression: "Don't hide it from Your Highness, Lord He did come to me and said that he wanted to murder His Highness, but he was bluntly rejected by his subordinates. Although this will offend the queen mother, as a courtier, how can I do such a rebellious thing?"

Fang Ling pretended to be skeptical and said, "General Zhou, did you really refuse?"

It seemed to see that Fang Ling had the intention of believing, Zhou Yongcheng hurriedly expressed his loyalty and said: "Your Highness, the minister can become the general of this city, relying on the emperor's grace, His Royal Highness is the son of the emperor, even if the minister is bold, how dare he move evil thoughts against His Highness? Please believe in the loyalty of the minister, no matter how much he threatens and tempts, the minister has not been moved at all, even if he offends the queen, he will desperately send His Royal Highness out of the city!"

Zhou Yongcheng looked like he was digging out his heart and lungs, but Fang Ling clearly saw the sly look in his eyes, so he stood up, helped Zhou Yongcheng up and said, "General Zhou is really trustworthy, but I hope you will act in front of Lord He and pretend to agree to his request." ”

Zhou Yongcheng was puzzled: "Your Highness means ......"

Fang Ling smiled slightly: "In this way, when I go to the dock with the queen mother and his party tomorrow, won't General Zhou be able to secretly help? In this way, there is no need for you to offend the queen mother, so as to hide from the world." ”

Zhou Yongcheng immediately came to his senses, gave a thumbs up and praised: "Your Highness's trick is really clever." ”

Fang Ling untied the small burden behind him at this time, put the heavy items on the table next to him, and said with a smile: "Although I can't give you a promise to the high-ranking official Houlu like Empress Song, but the thank you gift is still a little bit. ”

"Your Highness, it is a matter of course for your subordinates to serve you, how can you ask for any thanks?" Zhou Yongcheng said with a straight face.

Fang Ling Nunu said, "Just what I gave you, open it and take a look." ”

Zhou Yongcheng thanked him, slowly opened the baggage, and when he saw the contents inside, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw that in the baggage were three pearls the size of pigeon eggs, as well as gold and jade, each of which was worth a thousand gold.

Seeing the greed in Zhou Yongcheng's eyes, Fang Ling's heart became even more numerous, and he smiled slightly: "General Zhou, this is just a little thank-you gift, after you send me and my mother out of the city, I will have ten thousand taels of gold to give!"

"Wan ...... Ten thousand taels of gold?" Zhou Yongcheng was taken aback when he heard this, and the greed in his eyes became even stronger.

Fang Ling pretended to smile deeply, and said in a slightly raised voice: "If there is no gold dot, General Zhou thinks that I may escape from the palace smoothly, there may be a bunch of courtiers serving me, and there may be guards and imperial doctors who are willing to follow me with all their hearts?"

As soon as he said this, Zhou Yongcheng suddenly realized, as a businessman, he naturally knew the truth that this money could be channeled, and he was originally surprised by the rumors that the eldest prince had left the palace, how could a prince who had been hidden in the deep palace for sixteen years have the imperial doctor guards to follow him?

Now the mystery has finally been revealed, and it turns out that it is just for money!

The few jewels that were taken out at hand were so expensive, wouldn't it be easy to take out another 10,000 taels of gold, and it was no wonder that the people in the palace would also move.

Moreover, he is also very sensitive to smell some smells, these things are simply a drop in the bucket for Fang Ling, and there are bigger and bigger treasures on him!
