Chapter 182: Means
The power of Biyu City is divided into several levels, and they are distinct from each other.
The first layer is Jinpeng Fort and Meng's, only a few people and merchants can enjoy the direct protection of these two, and the monthly payment of silver is at least tens of thousands of taels.
The second layer is a dozen gangs attached to Shibao and the Meng clan, and the young masters of the Shangguan family all belong to this layer, and they have the most territory and personnel in Biyu City.
The third layer is the large and small hoods of various industries in the streets and alleys, dealing directly with scattered merchants, and concentrating funds to seek protectors from the upper echelons.
The fourth layer is the "capable people" who fight alone, like Tie Hanfeng and Tuo Nengya, who belong to this category, their roles are relatively vague, and they do not have resources directly controlled in their hands, but they have a relationship with the upper echelons and are good at solving some unexpected problems.
Gu Shenwei spent several days figuring out the intricate relationship between the major forces in Nancheng, and the Xu brothers and sisters played an important role as his right-hand men, and it turned out that snatching the territory of other young masters was not as easy as Mrs. Meng said.
The tradition of Jinpeng Castle, the young master trained in the south city in the first year, and then returned to the stone castle to follow his father, received a more advanced education, and began to gradually participate in the real assassination affairs, this period of time can be long or short, two or three years of excellent performance can be independent, and there are also those who do not meet the king's wishes, and even have to nest in the stone wall for the rest of their lives.
The young master of the Independent Portal is usually stationed in a large capital city in the Western Regions, where he is under the command of a killer force on one side, providing services such as guarding, assassination, and mercenaries, which is one of the most important sources of money for Jinpeng Castle.
Jinpeng Fort was best at assassination back then, but now it is best at protecting the princes and nobles who do not want to be assassinated.
The young masters' forces in Nancheng are the foundation laid by the first year's experience, and the benefits are really insignificant compared to the careers after independence, but no young master will give up this benefit.
The young masters are eager to be stationed in other countries, but they all know very well in their hearts that their power comes from the Dubu King, and the longer they stay away from the stone castle, the more fragile the line of trust connecting father and son will become, and they need to install loyal forces within the stone castle and Biyu City as an important node of this fine line.
Mrs. Meng may really not understand the importance of Nancheng, or she may want to test Huan Nu, in short, the task she gave through Yahuan is actually difficult.
But this is exactly what Gu Shenwei wanted to do, to smash a bigger gap in the existing rift in the stone castle.
The biggest difficulty comes from Shangguan Ru, she was heartbroken by Yu Gongzi's betrayal, and completely lost interest in fighting for the hegemony of Nancheng and breaking into the world, she is like a child, playing happily with her best friend, and as soon as her friend leaves, the game loses its appeal.
Gu Shenwei can come up with all kinds of intrigues, but he doesn't know how to change a little girl's mood and rekindle her ambitions.
The lotus girl took on this important task, she had already won Shangguan Ru's trust, and at this time she spent a lot of time with her, even to the point of eating and living together.
Gu Shenwei couldn't help but suspect that the Lotus Girl had become the second rain boy.
The lotus girl taught Huan Nu a lesson to the slave who didn't understand the girl's thoughts, "What makes the tenth prince sad is not the demise of Kunshe, nor is it that Yu Gongzi fell in love with Meng Wugongzi, what makes her unacceptable is that Yu Gongzi lied to her." β
"You mean that Yu Gongzi betrayed the Ten Princes?"
The lotus girl shook her head again and again, showing a helpless smile, Huan Nu is a very smart person, but she is still as naΓ―ve as a child in some things," Yu Gongzi did not tell Shi Gongzi the most private things, which means that she is a little afraid of Shi Gongzi, Shi Gongzi is sad about this, she gave all her true feelings, and never regarded Yu Gongzi as an inferior poor relative, she hopes that Yu Gongzi will also treat her like this, if Yu Gongzi tells the truth from the beginning, Shi Gongzi may be angry, but he will also be happy, and will even help Yu Gongzi marry Meng Wu Gongzi, because she has the trust of her best friend. β
Gu Shenwei didn't seem to understand, but he remembered that when he was cornered by the Great Wilderness Gate, he confessed to Shangguan Ru and asked for help, Shangguan Ru really took it very seriously, and his trust in him has increased since then.
The Dutch girl was able to understand the ten princes so clearly, Gu Shenwei was a little surprised.
"We are all women. β
The Lotus Girl's explanation of this only increased Gu Shenwei's doubts, and at the same time, his heart moved, in his mind, "women" were all Xu Yanwei's appearance, and he never thought that the Lotus Girl and Shangguan Ru were also "women".
It is one thing to understand Shangguan Ru's thoughts, but it is another thing to untie the knots, Gu Shenwei is helpless about this, and the lotus girl is also powerless, so the two can only wait for the tenth prince to figure it out by himself.
In the end, the person who cheered Shangguan Ru back was a mustang that Gu Shenwei didn't expect at all, and afterwards he felt that only this killer who couldn't speak was qualified to do this.
When Mustang was loyal to Shangguan Yu, he did many things for her, and he had a deep affection for this master, and to a certain extent, he knew more about this girl than anyone else.
Shangguan Ru couldn't understand the sign language of the "Snow Mountain Gang", Mustang could only ask the Lotus Girl for help, he was a deep and brave killer, first apologized to the Lotus Girl, because the black snake that had intended to assassinate the Lotus Girl was indeed sent out by him, he respected the Lotus Girl, but for the benefit of the Rain Prince, he could only do this.
The lotus girl accepted Mustang's apology, acted as an interpreter for him, and had a sincere conversation with Shangguan Ru.
Gu Shenwei was a little disappointed, deep down, he thought that once Yu Gongzi died, he would become the only person trusted by Shangguan Ru, but in the end, like everyone, he was rejected by Shangguan Ru.
The Dutch Girl later repeated the words of the wild horse in full, and the wild horse knew that their relationship was unbreakable and did not ask for secrecy.
Shangguan Yushi has been paying attention to the person of Mustang for a long time, at that time the apprentice killing has not yet begun, Mustang is just an ordinary member of the "Snow Mountain Gang", and he is naturally extremely surprised by the greetings from Yu Gongzi, but he is not complacent, Yu Gongzi is not the only apprentice he cares about.
The decisive battle between Mustang and Huannu, which was halted at the last moment, had more impact than the two parties imagined, and since then, Shangguan Yushi has spent a lot of energy trying to win over Mustang and finally won the allegiance of the tongueless boy.
Bronco did not explain the reason for his allegiance.
Mustang thus became Yu Gongzi's most trusted helper, but he never did anything for her, until the tenth prince went down the mountain to set up the Kun Society, Gao Hou Ye was killed by him personally, Zhou Huan and Yuan Nu were killed by him, and Jing Nu was led into the crowd by him.
The hatred for the "arm slave gang" brought the two closer.
That kidnapping of the tenth prince was also instructed by Prince Yu to carry out Meng Mingshi, in order to make Huan Nu responsible, but she asked Meng Mingshi to swear at the beginning that she would never damage a single hair of Shangguan Ru.
Mustang confessed everything and was willing to bear the death penalty, which made his later words more believable.
Meng Wugongzi has long fallen in love with Shangguan Yushi, as for the reason, no one can say, probably because Yu Gongzi is different from all the women he has seen, in short, in order to chase her down, Meng Wugongzi has spent a lot of thought, originally hoping that the trip to Tieshan can bring the relationship between the two closer, but it turned out to be more contempt.
Yu Gongzi has never fallen in love with Meng Mingshi, this is what Mustang swore through the lotus girl.
Shangguan Yushi has a whole complicated plan, if successful, she will kill Huan Nu, deceive a large amount of gold and silver from the Meng family, and make Kunshe the most powerful force in Nancheng.
The boy of the Meng family is wishful thinking, but he has never even touched the corner of the clothes of the rain boy, he is a coward who is fierce and inward-looking, how can Shangguan Yu favor this kind of man?
The killer should be unscrupulous, Shangguan Yushi is not ashamed of his deception, but unfortunately, the plan is only halfway through, and Shangguan Fei, who she never noticed, intervened.
As soon as Yu Gongzi died, her original purpose could never be achieved, and the means themselves became an end in the eyes of others.
Yu Gongzi would never marry someone like Meng Mingshi, and Mustang was very sure of this, because she had already made a plan to get out.
Meng Mingshi is lascivious and lustful, in order to get a woman at any cost, once he loses his freshness, it is easy to abandon it, Shangguan Yushi plans to use Meng Wugongzi to find a stunning prostitute to seduce him, and catch the rape in bed again, so as to cut off the relationship between the two.
Only then will she tell the Tenth Prince about the whole plan.
The only object of Yu Gongzi's loyalty is the Ten Princes, and Mustang is even more sure of this.
It's not like Meng Mingshi said at all, Yu Gongzi wants to set up the tenth prince, it is just a trick to deceive the Meng family's idiots, and the reason why she doesn't say a word about her plan is that she doesn't want the tenth prince to participate in the dirty deal.
In Yu Gongzi's mind, Shi Gongzi was the only clean person in the stone castle, and she took the initiative to greet the dirty water in all directions, so that Shangguan Ru could hide behind her.
Gu Shenwei felt that the credibility of Mustang was less than two percent, but Shangguan Ru believed all of them, and even forgave Mustang for the crime of assassinating his own people.
Gu Shenwei had never been too close to Guan Yu, but he believed that he was the one who knew the little female devil best.
Shangguan Yushi, like everyone who has a humble status but has not completely lost hope, is full of panic in her heart, for fear that one day she will fall to the bottom, she will naturally not fall in love with Meng Wugongzi, but it is not to be loyal to Shangguanru.
In some cases, it is not a shame to greet the dirty water for the noble master, but a right, and Shangguan Yu wants Shangguan Ru to keep it "clean", which is actually the same as the overhead.
Gu Shenwei believed in her own judgment, and the lotus girl also thought so, but it was useless, Shangguan Yushi was already dead, and her true purpose would never be known, maybe she was telling the truth to everyone, so as to fight for the best interests for herself, and when she had to express her position, she would improvise according to the actual situation.
In any case, Shangguan Ru finally eliminated the dark clouds in his heart, and Gu Shenwei had already drawn up a plan to regain the hegemony of Kunshe.
