Chapter 208 The little liar is very good at playing with people’s hearts.
Although the Xiao family and the Cheng family have not openly quarreled, the secret rivalry between the two aristocratic families has never stopped.Mu Yun's letter was like a pillow for Xiao Jiang when he fell asleep.
Xiao Jiang, who was bent on avenging the stupidity of Young Master Xiao, would definitely not refuse the sharp sword that Mu Yun personally handed him, which could stab the Cheng family's throat.
Shangcheng, Yang Chong Lane, Cheng Mansion.
Wu Liang, who had changed into clean clothes, sat in front of Cheng Zhi anxiously.
He thought that with his performance in the Princess Mansion today, he would definitely get a good compliment from General Cheng, but he never imagined that he was sitting on pins and needles at this moment even more than when he met Princess Yunlan at the Princess Mansion.
Fortunately, he didn't tell the man in front of him, who had a face as cold as frost, about his accidental revelation of the name "Yuan Jinglun", otherwise he would definitely not be able to eat and walk around today.
"You said Yun Lan's conversational skills are extraordinary, I believe it. You said Yun Lan's aura is domineering, I believe it. If you say Yun Lan values you, haha..." Cheng Zhi looked up and down Wu Liang's body with disdain. After a long while, he snorted sarcastically again, "You were deceived by her."
Little liar, very good at playing with people's hearts.
A basin of cold water poured down Wu Liang's heart. Before he could continue to defend himself, Cheng Zhi leaned back in his chair and said slowly: "This general said before that you should be careful in front of Yun Lan. Be careful and never let go of your precautions. How come you start speaking for her after she compliments you a few words?"
"I......"
"She poured you several bowls of ecstasy soup, and you were so mesmerized that you became dizzy?" Cheng Zhi suddenly slapped the table, so frightened that Wu Liang almost slid down from his chair, "Tell me, is she trying to trick you? "
Wu Liang gingerly sat back holding on to the armrests of the chair, his legs shaking like chaff, "No, no words, she asked about Bei Zhi's relationship with the general. Bei Zhi replied to her that you and I have a close friendship, so she didn't No more questions."
"Look at your potential, do you look like a garrison general? Stop shaking!" Cheng Zhi pointed at Wu Liang's leg and yelled angrily, "If you shake it again, I'll chop it off!"
Wu Liang sat upright like an electric shock, holding his breath and concentrating, not daring to move, like an expressionless ice sculpture, but his legs were still swinging uncontrollably.
Cheng Zhi leaned back in his chair, his expression still disdainful, "I picked you out from so many secret guards to help you rise. You must not disappoint my expectations of you. Your reply to Yun Lan was reasonable. If you just blindly If you put aside the relationship with me, then there is no 300 taels of silver here."
The tension in Wu Liang's heart suddenly relaxed.
"Xu Feng, I asked a few questions from my humble position. He probably didn't reveal anything that I shouldn't have said. I'm afraid this person is useless."
Cheng Zhi coldly glanced at Wu Liang's sincere and honest face. He admired the man's rough skin and thick flesh. He could be rounded and flattened by him, but he still had the spirit of being fearless and outspoken. "Oh, Xu Feng, a small soldier, can No matter what kind of turmoil it creates, he can still betray the second prince. Does he have the courage?" However, he failed to successfully make this person his secret chess player in Yancheng, which actually made him feel a little sad.
Fortunately, there will probably be chaos in Yancheng soon, and he will definitely take over personally. Those small soldiers will be like a drop in the bucket.
"Besides these, is there anything else wrong with the princess's mansion?"
Wu Liang suddenly remembered something that he had to report, "When I first arrived at the princess's house, I happened to see a group of people coming out of the princess' house. One of them, I recognized him, was a clerk from the newly opened Ruyi Clothing Store in the capital. "
Ruyibuzhuang!Cheng Zhi couldn't hide the shock in his eyes.
Others don't know what Ruyi Buzhuang is, but he does.But how did Yunlan get involved with Ruyi Buzhuang?
Seeing the abnormal look on General Cheng's face, Wu Liang quickly added, "Beizhi initially thought that the Princess Mansion was purchasing a large amount of fabrics, and those people were here to deliver the fabrics. Beizhi said a few more words at the door about the Princess Mansion's strong financial resources. , but the little eunuch at the door rolled his eyes at Beizi, and kept saying that his master had no need to buy fabrics, since the ones His Majesty gave him could no longer wear, so Beizi asked a few more questions about what Ruyi Cloth Shop had given him. The little eunuch rolled his eyes at his humble position with an arrogant expression, but said no more."
Seeing Cheng Zhi motioning for him to continue speaking, Wu Liang thought for a while and continued: "Based on my position, those boxes should contain money."
Cheng Zhi raised his eyebrows, "How did you tell?"
Wu Liang swallowed and continued: "Probably because Buzhuang didn't have enough boxes of its own, the wooden box that one person was carrying was different in color from the other boxes. The word "Qianzhuang" was printed on the bottom of it."
Years of training as a secret guard cannot be overshadowed. Although Wu Liang looks rough, he still has good observation skills.As soon as he saw the unusual wooden box, he took the opportunity to pretend to clean the mud from the soles of his shoes and leaned over to take a peek at the bottom of the box.
This time, I found something unusual.
"Master, tell me, how could Princess Yunlan accept money from Ruyi Buzhuang? Is it possible that the owner behind Ruyi Buzhuang is Princess Yunlan?"
Wu Liang scratched his head, that shouldn't be the case. When did this princess from the common people get involved with the largest cloth shop in the capital city?He was about to continue to express his doubts, but when he looked up and saw Cheng Zhi's unpredictable face, he immediately swallowed back his unspoken words.
The Ruyi Buzhuang spread throughout Dashuo was the secret spy network that the second prince of Xichang personally laid in Dashuo after he became his hostage. This was the condition in exchange for Xichang deliberately defeating him in the battle of Yancheng.
Cheng Zhi knew that he was raising a tiger for trouble, but for the sake of the Cheng family's great cause, he had no choice but to make this risky move at that time.
It’s just that he never thought about the dictatorship of the Xichang Emperor and the complicated relationships between the princes. Originally, he thought that it would be enough to deal with the second prince Zhuo Lingchu, but the Xichang Emperor was afraid that Zhuo Lingchu would become more powerful, so he sent another troublemaker. Prince Zhuo Taining.Zhuo Taining was very ambitious. In order to eliminate Zhuo Lingchu, his strongest rival on the road to imperial power, he roped him into forming an alliance. Seeing that Zhuo Taining was stupid and controllable, he agreed to Zhuo Taining's olive branch.
Otherwise, with the development momentum when it was under Zhuo Lingchu's control, Ruyi Buzhuang might become more and more entrenched in Dashuo like the wildly growing weeds. When the Cheng family takes control of Dashuo, it will be difficult to control Ruyi. Buzhuang's undercover network was eradicated.
Later, he was afraid that Zhuo Lingchu would sabotage his plan because he was dissatisfied with the Xichang Emperor and Zhuo Taining, so he conspired with Zhuo Taining to kill Zhuo Lingchu, but he did not expect that Zhuo Lingchu Although they were at the end of their efforts at the beginning, their frequent assassinations still ended in failure.
No one expected that the abandoned son Zhuo Lingchu would turn around in Beixiang Kingdom.Now, Zhuo Lingchu has won the title of "Xichang God of War", and is willing to return to Dashuo and take control of Ruyi Buzhuang at the cost of giving up all his achievements in Beixiang Kingdom.
