The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 328
Cui Yongjiang thought that what Fang Guanshi said before was to remind him to show his face to his father, but he didn't expect that Fang Guanshi had something to say to him.

He was very surprised, and at the same time, there was a trace of vigilance in his heart.

"I don't know what Manager Fang wants to say to me?"

Steward Fang looked back, then glanced around, and then said to Cui Yongjiang, "May the fifth master move forward and talk?"

He signaled Cui Yongjiang to go to the open space in the middle of the yard with his eyes.

Cui Yongjiang thought for a while, then ordered the servant behind him to stay where he was, and then walked into the yard.

Steward Fang followed and confirmed that the people around couldn't hear their voices, and then said, "Master Wu, do you know why the Duke ordered people to surround Jinglan Garden a few days ago?"

Cui Yongjiang has never been able to find out the inside story about this matter, and he was very curious in his heart. Hearing what Fang Guanshi said, he suddenly became interested, and his voice couldn't help but lower his voice: "How does Fang Guanshi know the inside story?"

Fang Guanshi showed a smug expression, and showed off: "I follow the Duke every day, so I naturally know the reason."

He approached Cui Yongjiang, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Didn't the minister of the Ministry of Industry be assassinated not long ago? I heard that Yuan Niang knew the clue, but she refused to tell.

"That's why the Duke ordered people to surround Jinglanyuan to blackmail Yuanniang and ask her to give clues."

After hearing these words, Cui Yongjiang was confused: "How did Yuan Niang know the clue? Could it be possible."

Cui Yongjiang opened his mouth wide, with a trace of fear in his astonishment.

Seeing Cui Yongjiang's expression, Fang Guanshi knew that he was thinking wrong, and quickly said: "Fifth Master guessed wrong, the reason why Yuanniang knew the clue was because someone told her."

"Who told her?" Cui Yongjiang became even more curious.

"The King of Changshan County."

Hearing this, Cui Yongjiang showed an expression of "So that's it".

Yuan Niang is the savior of the Changshan County King, and she was also personally escorted back to the mansion by the Changshan County King. It is not surprising that the Changshan County King has something inside to tell her.

Cui Yongjiang had no doubts, and continued to ask: "Father ordered people to evacuate Jinglan Garden, and Yuan Niang also returned to her own courtyard. She must have given a clue, right?"

"Fifth Master is really smart."

Hearing steward Fang praise him, Cui Yongjiang couldn't help raising the corners of his lips, and the corners of his eyes and brows were tinged with pride.

Steward Fang watched Cui Yongjiang's expression, and said, "Yuanniang gave the portrait of the murderer given to her by the king of Changshan County to the Duke, but the Duke gave the portrait to the third master, and asked the third master to lead people to hunt down the murderer." .”

what?
Cui Yongjiang clenched his fists.

Steward Fang glanced at Cui Yongjiang's hand, and continued: "However, the uncle snatched him from the hands of the third master, and now he is in the big room, and the Duke also knows about it."

"Then does the third master know about this?" Cui Yongjiang asked.

Steward Fang shook his head: "The third master doesn't know about this."

Speaking of this, Steward Fang glanced around again, approached Cui Yongjiang again, and said mysteriously: "Does Fifth Master know why the Duke of the State asked the Third Master to catch the murderer?"

"Why?"

Hearing Steward Fang's question, Cui Yongjiang's curiosity was aroused. He couldn't understand why he didn't give the elder brother the task of catching the murderer, since his father tacitly allowed his elder brother to snatch people from the third brother.

Steward Fang replied in a low voice: "Because the old lady and the third master asked the Duke to give Wu Lang the credit for catching the murderer, so that Wu Lang can show his face in front of His Majesty and the Regent, and go to high school next year."

Hearing these words, Cui Yongjiang was furious, and his fists clicked: "Father is really biased. My Shiro's knowledge is much better than Goro's, but he doesn't give my Shiro the opportunity."

Steward Fang didn't speak, and quietly listened to Cui Yongjiang's complaints.

The voice stopped abruptly, and Cui Yongjiang looked at Fang Guanshi suspiciously: "Why are you telling me this?"

"I'm just complaining about Fifth Lord." Steward Fang replied calmly.

However, Cui Yongjiang didn't believe his words: "Okay, I've heard what you want to say, let's go."

"Fifth Lord—"

Steward Fang grabbed Cui Yongjiang, and after Cui Yongjiang looked over, he immediately let go: "Actually, I'm here for Fourth Master."

"Fourth brother?"

Cui Yongjiang was very surprised that the fourth child had been grounded for ten years, yet there was still someone to help him.

Fang Guanshi took the initiative to explain: "I was still young when I first came to the Duke, and one day I accidentally made a mistake, and the Duke wanted to drive me out of the mansion. It was the fourth master who interceded for me, so the Duke stayed. me.

"For so many years, I have always remembered the kindness that Fourth Master has shown me, so I have always wanted to find an opportunity to repay him."

Cui Yongjiang became more confused the more he listened: "What does this have to do with me?"

"Of course it has something to do with it." Fang Guanshi explained: "Back then, the fourth master was grounded because the uncle and the second master were in the way, so the Duke of the country gave the order to be grounded.

"If the uncle inherits the Jingguo mansion in the future, the fourth master will definitely die.

"But the fifth master is different. You and the fourth master are both bastards. In the past, brothers supported each other with deep affection. If you become the master of the Duke of Yasukuni's mansion, you will definitely keep the fourth master.

"Don't worry, Si Yezhi is not in the Duke Jing's mansion. He once said that he only wants to spend a life of idle clouds and wild cranes with Fourth Madam."

Become the master of Yasukuni Mansion?
Cui Yongjiang's heart was moved, but he calmed down quickly, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Presumptuous, elder brother is the future master of the Jingguo Mansion and the future patriarch of the Cui family. You don't want to provoke the friendship between our brothers."

"Fifth Master, what I'm saying is the truth, why do you deceive yourself?"

While Cui Yongjiang was in a daze, Fang Guanshi coaxed: "Everyone with a discerning eye knows what life you and Fourth Master spent in the mansion.

"The uncle, the second master, and the third master never put you and the fourth master in their eyes, and made things difficult for you and your children everywhere.

"Second Master has always been the only one to follow, and Third Master also has the protection of the old lady. In the future, when Uncle takes power, Second Master and Third Master will not suffer, but it will be different for you and Fourth Master.

"The old lady hates you deeply, and the uncle and the three brothers also regard you as a thorn in the side. Once the uncle takes power, neither you nor the fourth master may be able to leave the Yasukuni mansion alive."

Cui Yongjiang shuddered, the unfathomable eyes of the eldest brother, and the sinister eyes of the second and third brothers flashed in his mind.

He suddenly felt that what Fang Guanshi said was not impossible
"So, only if you control the Yasukuni Mansion, you and the fourth master can survive."

At this moment, Cui Yongjiang heard such words and did not reprimand Fang Guanshi anymore, but asked him for advice: "What should I do now?"

Steward Fang stretched out his right hand and made a gesture of grasping something: "Naturally, we should strive hard and hold everything we can grasp firmly in our hands.

"First of all, you must hold the murderer who killed the minister of the Ministry of Industry in your hands. With this credit, your official position can be promoted one more level."

Cui Yongjiang nodded again and again, but suddenly stopped: "But, the person is in the hands of the eldest brother, how can I snatch it?"

A smirk crossed Fang Guanshi's face: "You are a bastard, so naturally you can't help it, but the third master is loved by the old lady, and he can do it if he doesn't deal with the uncle.

"As long as you tell the third master about this, the third master will definitely go to find the uncle's important person. When the snipe and the clam fight, you will be waiting to reap the benefits of the fisherman."
