The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1196 Provocation
It's just that what Prince Jing said is true or not.Although Prince Jing didn't need to make up lies to deceive him about this matter, but it is not guaranteed that Prince Jing has other schemes, so he can't fully believe it.

"What is the name of the leader of the assassin, does the prince know?"

Prince Jing nodded, and then said: "It is rumored that there is a cloaked man with high martial arts skills beside Prince Du Min, named Bu Ke. This man is skilled in martial arts and is good at forming formations. He is Du Min's right-hand man. However, in the past year I haven't seen this person appear before, so I guess he must have come to Dayan."

Caped man?Gu Chengyu frowned slightly, this person is mysterious, "Then the prince has seen this person's face before?"

Prince Jing shook his head, "No one in the world knows his appearance. No matter when this person is, he always covers his whole body with a cloak, and he never takes it off."

Although I don't know what he looks like, but wearing a cloak all day long is an obvious feature.

It's just that there are too many people wearing cloaks in today's weather. Gu Chengyu can't see people wearing cloaks on the street, so he should be arrested?This is a bit tricky.

It seems that the way to arrest someone still has to be on that person, and looking for it blindly is bound to be futile.

"There is another person named Tushi. This person is good at poison and very strategic. He used to be an aide in the Prince's Mansion, but he was appreciated by Du Min because of his extraordinary ability. This king is sure that this person is Here comes Dayan, and with him, there is also a powerful and reckless man named Heba, who is said to be protecting the Tushi with him."

"Tu Shi and Bu Ke are good at conspiracies and tricks. If these two people come to Dayan, there must be some big conspiracy. The last time Mr. Gu went to the south of the Yangtze River to relieve the disaster, the rioters rioted, and these people contributed to the flames. The purpose is to cause chaos among the victims. In troubled times, there are heroes, as long as there is an uprising by the victims, no matter whether it is successful or not, it will be a catastrophe for the court and the people."

When Prince Jing mentioned this, there was a bit of worry and fear on his face.

Protect?I'm afraid Prince Jing didn't know that this Heba had already been killed by him.And Tushi's kung fu is not weaker than Heba, even worse.

But whose subordinates were the group of four people I met on the road that day?Looking at it now, those people should have nothing to do with Prince Jing.

"Fortunately, Mr. Gu was able to turn the tide, otherwise there would be a big mistake in this flood."

King Jing suddenly expressed emotion to Gu Chengyu. At that time, he wanted to make a fortune by raising the price of grain, but Gu Chengyu disrupted his plan halfway.

In order to prevent Gu Chengyu from finding out about him, he forcibly made the people he sent bear with him.And repeatedly asked them not to oppose Gu Chengyu, thus giving up the plan.

In fact, his life in Fengqing Mansion these years has not been easy. The land in Fengqing Mansion is barren, and the annual profits from the fiefdom are not even enough to pay taxes to the court.He is a majestic prince, so poor that he clinks.

The Fengqing mansion is entrenched, and when he, the prince, goes, those people will not sell his face at all.Didn't he look at Emperor Shan Gao far away and no one backed him up?
As a prince, he was not liked by his father, even if he was bullied severely, his father would not stand up for him.

He was suppressed by these forces in the first year, but when he first arrived in the fiefdom, he couldn't use his fists at all.Seeing that no one in the court stood up for him, these people became even more unscrupulous.

However, Longshun Shoal is still a dragon, how could it be possible to be teased by these fish and shrimps?Looking at the Fengqing Mansion now, which power didn't respect him when they saw him?Anyone who is disobedient has long been uprooted by him.

"My lord praised it absurdly. This is definitely not the work of the lower officials alone."

Gu Chengyu said politely, remembering that they had chatted for so long, it must be getting late, maybe it would be dawn soon, he was still wearing night clothes, so he still had to leave while it was dark.

So he stood up and bowed to Prince Jing, saying: "Thank you, my lord, for clarifying my doubts today. It's getting late, but it has delayed my lord's rest. I will leave now."

Prince Jing also got up and said with a smile: "When did Master Gu change his mind and just come to find me, I will definitely sweep the couch to welcome you. The conditions promised before will be fulfilled one by one."

He looked at Gu Chengyu full of anticipation. Although Gu Chengyu rejected him today, it doesn't mean that there will be no chance in the future.

If Gu Chengyu was willing to be loyal to his second brother and be loyal to his second brother, then it would be impossible for Gu Chengyu to appear here today.

No matter what purpose Gu Chengyu came here for, Prince Jing has already achieved his purpose.

He successfully provoked the relationship between the second brother and Gu Chengyu. Although there was already a crack in the relationship between the two, he didn't mind tearing the gap even wider.

Gu Chengyu didn't reply, but saluted again.Just as he turned to leave, he suddenly remembered that there was still nothing to do.

"I believe the prince has heard about Zhou Yuan's rebellion. I have to say that Mr. Zhou is a man. Facing the punishment of Dali Temple, he can survive the punishment of Dali Temple without saying a word. This officer really admires him."

Gu Chengyu turned around with a look of admiration on his face.

The expression on Prince Jing's face froze, and immediately changed into a smile.Standing beside him, Tang Canling also quietly clenched his right hand behind his back, looking at Gu Chengyu with a hint of shock and nervousness in his eyes.

When Gu Chengyu glanced over, he turned his head away again.

Capturing Prince Jing's fleeting nervousness and Tang Shenling's cover-up after he was about to be exposed, the corners of Gu Chengyu's lips twitched slightly.

"Although the lower official respects Mr. Zhou, he is really helpless. After all, the lower official is also under orders, so naturally he can't show mercy. Tomorrow's punishment will be even more cruel. I wonder if Mr. Zhou can bear it this week."

Gu Chengyu looked at King Jing with clear eyebrows, and there seemed to be countless sharpness hidden in those twinkling peach eyes, but they looked so harmless on the surface.

King Jing suddenly smiled, "I didn't expect Master Zhou to rebel. When I heard about it, I was also taken aback. I don't know if there is any misunderstanding. However, it all depends on the results of Lord Gu's interrogation. I believe Lord Gu." Never wrong a good person."

Gu Chengyu raised his eyebrows. He was a little uncertain before, but now he is sure that Zhou Yuancong must belong to Prince Jing, which is one of the reasons why he came to see Prince Jing today.

Seeing that Gu Chengyu hadn't left yet, King Jing said suddenly: "Tang Canling, didn't you recently buy a jade pendant with twigs wrapped around Ruyi? This king sees that you are very rough and not suitable for wearing it. Why don't you give it to Master Gu! The gentleman has a gentle temperament, like a bright moon, this jade is perfect for Mr. Gu."

Tang Canling was a little dazed when he heard the words, but then he opened his eyes wide with shock.

"My lord! That jade"
