Crown Jewels

Chapter 104

"When you've ruled out all possibilities, what's left—"

"Even the most improbable is the only possibility."

"Besides, the conclusion of this matter is not even half-impossible."

When Lu Yi heard this, his eyes darkened.

Looking at the calm Gu Baozhu in front of him, he suddenly felt that his thoughts were off.

He actually considered the most extreme aspects.

But turn around and think about it again, such a big event as assassinating the empress!
Not to mention conclusive evidence, but anything that can be related...

The attitude of those people in history is also customary to kill a hundred by mistake, don't let one go.

……

The shadow of the lamp flickered, after Gu Baozhu bid farewell to Lu Yi, he vaguely came to a conclusion in his heart.

It should be impossible for Lu Yi to be the "Prince Gong" in his own family.

Because, he has no time at all.

As the right-hand man of the empress, and also used to investigate cases and guard the yamen, it is impossible to spare so much time to accompany me to grow up when I was young, and use time to replace the original Gu Ye in everyone's memory with a weak and sick appearance. .

After sorting out her thoughts, Gu Baozhu concentrated her mind, and naturally walked towards the table of Guanghua County Mistress and his father Wang Shunjun Wang.

At this time, Guanghua had already gone to Jiang Rou Zuoyao's side at some point.

On the long table, only Prince Shun was left to drink alone.

Under the dim lights, the man's back was hunched, and his thin eyebrows and eyes made the middle-aged man even more shy.

The king of Shunjun in front of him is the king of the former Shu kingdom.

When Gu Jun founded the country, in order to show his benevolence, he was specially named the king of the county.

In the final analysis, even if the aunt is benevolent, the essence of what happened to King Shunjun is a disguised form of imprisonment.

Having been frustrated for many years, the person in front of him, even in the creases of his eyebrows and cheeks, showed a sense of depression and frustration.

In the final analysis, which king of subjugation can live smoothly?
Gu Baozhu stood in front of the long table, her slender shadow blocking the dim light in front of her eyes.

There was a shadow in front of his eyes, King Shunjun was a little slower, as if he had just reacted.

The fishy smell of alcohol raged, and the thin middle-aged man couldn't help but take a drink break.

Accompanied by two lumps of red on his cheeks, he put down the silver cup in his hand, narrowed his eyes and looked at Gu Baozhu.

From Gu Baozhu's perspective, King Shun seemed to be shrunk in the shadows.

Under the light of the red lantern, he looked even more inconspicuous.

But this time, when he looked at himself, his eyes were straight and restrained without knowing how to measure.

Gu Baozhu endured the discomfort in his heart, and simply toasted him on behalf of his relatives, but subconsciously denied the person in front of him.

Among people, charm and posture are difficult to imitate.

The "Prince Gong" in Prince Gong's mansion shows off his gentle skin all the year round.

But the person in front of him, the only thing that can leave a memory is his muddleheadedness that has nothing to do with him!

Furthermore, during the toast, Gu Baozhu was clearly aware of it.

Compared with the "Gongjun King" in the mansion, the Shunjun King in front of him is obviously thinner, and his skin is darker.

When he looked at Gu Baozhu, his eyes were deeply guarded.

This appearance is not very similar to the domineering Guanghua County Lord in front of him in normal days.

Keeping this feeling in mind, Gu Baozhu didn't hesitate too much, and walked directly to the next table.

Officials above the fifth rank were the only ones, and when Gu Baozhu took the silver cup from the maid again, he happened to stop at the table of Jiang Hong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

Jiang Hong is the father of Jiang Shan and Jiang Rou.

Moreover, Gu Baozhu also saw the familiar photochemical here.

Ignoring the others, Gu Baozhu looked at Jiang Hong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

The Ministry of War is an important position in the military of Yan State, and the heavy weapon of military firearms is also in charge of the Ministry of War in name.

Just by looking at this position, one can see how much real power the Empress Gu Jun has given Jiang Hong.

Jiang Hong was quite trusted by his aunt.

It is because in the past when the Yan Kingdom was first established, a thousand wastes were waiting to be rejuvenated.

During Gu Jun's southern tour, he faced bandits.

Her confidant Lu Yi was not around at the time, and it was this Jiang Hong who swore to protect Gu Jun to the death.

Because of that disaster, even Jiang Hong was usually extremely arrogant.

Only in front of Gu Jun can he restrain himself from his straight-forward look with his eyes above his head.

After the banditry, when meritorious deeds are rewarded.

Gu Jun was grateful for Jiang Hong's desperate efforts to escort him, so he overcame all opinions, and assured Jiang Hong to take care of the Ministry of War.

Silk bamboo, qin and music complement each other, and under the moonlight it is like cutting out a section of candlelight.

Jiang Hong sipped the wine, squinting at the dancing waist in front of the hall.

The entrance of the drink was accompanied by a cold snort, just as the waitress brought new wine, she never thought that Jiang Hong would raise his hand suddenly.

Afterwards, the cup shook and the wine almost spilled out.

The waitress was so frightened that she knelt down to make amends.

Jiang Hong flicked his official sleeves, his eyes slanted slightly, and when he looked at the woman kneeling on the ground, he gave a gloomy look.

Under the dim eyes, the maid's body trembled, and her head was buried even lower.

The melodious piano sound echoed, Jiang Hong glanced at the woman on the ground, and impatiently raised his eyes and waved his sleeves to make people roll.

Gu Baozhu withdrew his gaze, his thoughts couldn't help but whirl.

Firecrackers belong to the country's most important weapons, and they are always noticed and supervised by people.

Even if my aunt gave Jiang Hong such power because of saving her life.

However, Gu Baozhu didn't really believe that Gu Jun would have no idea to put invisible shackles on the power in Jiang Hong's hands.

After all, the check and balance of power is the most basic quality for the superior to coordinate the overall situation.

In this case, Gu Baozhu can be sure.

Even in the outside world, there is already a smuggled gun business, but!At least in the books of the Ministry of War, there must be no big disclosure.

Otherwise, even if my aunt puts a lot of trust in someone, once she touches the bottom line of the Empress Gu Jun, she definitely won't have any reason to be merciful.

And, not only that, the booklets and even the account books that registered arms on the surface.

It will definitely be made beautiful by these people, and will not leave others with a handle.

This point can be proved by the fact that Jiang Hongan can sit here peacefully and still has the energy to throw his temper at the maid.

Gu Baozhu concentrated her mind, the figure of the talented maid who fled just now was in her mind, but her thoughts wandered to Daxingshan Temple.

Back then, I overheard what "Prince Gong" and the Seventh Young Master were talking about was about the sale of firecrackers.

In fact, Gu Baozhu didn't believe that, as the minister of the Ministry of War, the ration of firecrackers under his name was secretly sold by others.

He scored half a point!Informed may not have.

Even thinking about it badly, he and that Prince Gong are in the same boat, so it seems like it's okay?
Furthermore, taking ten thousand steps back, the firearms deal was in progress.

Jiang Hong, no matter what role he played in it, he was inseparable from him anyway.

With long eyelashes hiding the emotion in his eyes, Gu Baozhu stepped forward, his clear voice echoing in his ears.

Jiang Hong squinted his eyes and took a sip of wine leisurely, only then lifted half of his eyelids engraved with old creases.

Bright as the shadow of a woman in the bright moon, reflected in those yellow eyes.

As if he only discovered Gu Baozhu now, Jiang Hong pretended to sigh, and then he was willing to lift both eyelids.

In response to this, Gu Baozhu frowned, only curled her lips into a smile, and did not show any abnormality.

In the shadow of the lamp, Gu Baozhu half-lidded her eyelids, patiently waiting for Jiang Hong to put on a show, and didn't care to smile until she saw her play finished.

The woman gently rubbed the jade cup wall with her fingers, she was calm and not in a hurry.

Left and right Jiang Hong was originally in her plan, and she was the last one among the officials with five senses that she was going to visit.

The breeze blows away the hair at the sideburns, Gu Baozhu puts her hands behind her ears.

Left and right, the night is still very long, and she can still afford it.
