I am born with insufficiency

Chapter 145 The Prince Charming ([-])

Wang Shangshu sat on the chair in the study with a calm expression on his face. He looked a little old but he couldn't see the sadness of losing his beloved daughter just now.

Gu Buquan was standing in front of the table, his eyes fell uncontrollably on Wang Shangshu's hand, he was holding a piece of jade pendant and rubbing it unceasingly.

She pretended to lower her eyes inadvertently, and glanced at the Shui Jing Zhu on the table. The circled words in the book kept flashing through her mind, but she still couldn't figure out what these words meant.

Before she followed Wang Shangshu into the study, she heard a cough behind her.

She turned her head and saw the old lady standing in the distance, shaking her head towards her, and leaving in a hurry.

The old lady seemed to be telling her not to enter the study. Her eyes showed deep worry and anxiety. The study should be a place that frightened her very much.

Everything in the study is very simple, there is only one table and one chair. Obviously, except for Wang Shangshu himself, no guests are ever invited in. To Gu Buquan, this place is far more attractive than the Buddhist hall.

The search of the study room last night was not enough, and now Wang Shangshu took the initiative to invite her in, how could she let this opportunity go?
After thinking about it, she went in anyway.

The window of the study room is open, and there is shade of green bamboo outside the window.

"Our guests have arrived." Wang Shangshu broke the silence.

If there is a moment when Gu Buquan is least willing to see Ling An, it is here and now.

He just stepped through the door.

The secret investigation failed last night, he should know that the Shangshu Mansion is a huge trap, and he should avoid putting himself in danger no matter what.

What she didn't know was that there were only three words in the letter sent by the servant to Ling An: come alone.

Gu Buquan was angry and worried, she felt that she could stay at the Minister's Mansion for at least a few more days as her, or go to the Buddhist hall to get close to the old lady, thinking that there would be no danger for the time being.

If there is really no progress, just wait for the opportunity to leave the Shangshu Mansion, after all, there is no fear of running out of firewood if the green hills are left.

But what is this idiot doing so stupidly?

You know, this seemingly simple and simple Shangshu Mansion exudes the same gossip atmosphere as Taozhuang, especially this study room. I don't know if there are those intricate traps under every inch of land under the feet?
Lord Shangshu said before at Xichen Tea House that each department has its own scope of responsibility, and Miss Fengque's murder case should have been reported to the Jingzhao Mansion for investigation, instead of alarming the God Detective Department who was directly ordered by the Holy One. .

But why did he insist on Ling An to investigate?
It's hard not to be suspicious.

Director Lu is dead, and General Ling is in charge of the God Detective Department for the time being. He is already busy enough to deal with business affairs. What is the murder case of the Shangshu Mansion compared with the errands of the Holy Majesty?
So Ling An can also reject this Wang Shangshu as usual, which is reasonable.

But he came alone, without a sword.

He glanced at the study, his heart tightened.

The simpler the place, the more people dare not take it lightly.

His gaze swept across Gu Buquan's face, seeing that she was well-behaved, he was secretly relieved, and then his eyes fell on Wang Shangshu's face.

"Master Wang, this doesn't seem to be the scene of a murder case." Ling An asked.

"Well, it's not the scene of a murder case. You don't need to bother General Ling to investigate the case. I know who the murderer is." Wang Shangshu didn't get up, still stroking the jade pendant in his hand.

"Oh?" Gu Buquan and Ling An questioned at the same time, "Does your lord know who the murderer is?"

"Of course it's Mother Wang." Wang Shangshu said, "She can risk her life for Feng Que."

"The old man's people saw her poisoning with their own eyes, so they came to report to the old man at that time. The old man told people to keep quiet, but he told him to use only half a drop of chicken broth for medicinal soup the next day, which made Fengtai a little bit small. If you don't die, the matter will be settled. It's a pity that people are not as good as God, who knows that little maid will steal chicken legs for Feng Que. God, God."

Gu Buquan's hair stood on end.

It turned out that Wang Shangshu had planned to use her to deceive An to come here, but he knew that Wang's mother had been poisoned but he didn't point it out. As a result, he killed his daughter Feng Que by mistake.

Ling An also opened his mouth for a while before asking, "Since your lord already knows the real culprit, you should send him to Jingzhao Mansion for imprisonment, so why did you let Ling come here?"

"No one else, but take your life." Wang Shangshu smiled, as if he was saying such a simple and common sentence as inviting guests to dinner.

"Oh?" Ling An also smiled back, "There are many people who want Ling An's life. I don't know why Master Shangshu doesn't like Ling?"

While speaking, Gu Buquan was protected behind him.

"Everything is not going well for me recently. The business I have worked hard for many years has almost been destroyed in your hands. If you don't get rid of you, I'm afraid I will ruin my affairs. Besides, since you have already set your sights on this old man, how can this old man not strike first?" For the sake of strength?"

"As expected, you are the mastermind behind Liming Qianzhuang, Luofuyanzhuang, Xichen Teahouse, and even Weiwei Taozhuang."

Wang Shangshu shook his head.

"Yanzhuang, you can buy women who love beauty in the world. Tea houses, you can buy scholars who love fame and wealth in the world. Taozhuang, you can buy men and women who love love in the world. Only Liming Qianzhuang is not from the hands of the old man, it is Wenyu's big hand, Want to use it to compete with the old man, hehe, he is too overconfident."

Wang Shangshu smiled and glanced out the window.

Gu Buquan was surprised to find that there was clearly a piece of green bamboo outside the window just now, but it turned into a tree of peach blossoms at some point.

At this time, it is not yet the season when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, but the peach blossoms outside the window are blooming majesticly.

Could it be...

Her heart tightened involuntarily, but seeing Ling An's calm and composure, she also gradually relaxed, and once she came, she was at ease. For her, there is no window that cannot be jumped out, and no wall that cannot be climbed.

"Fengtai, come." Wang Shangshu suddenly pulled Gu Buquan to his side.

There was a sound of "Kaka", and in front of Ling'an stood an array of upward-pointing knives, and on top of his head were downward-pointing sharp blades. The peach blossoms outside the window also turned into a forest of knives.

Ling An was completely trapped among the knives. If he wanted to jump out of the window, he would have to face the upward knives. How easy is it to escape?

"Stupid." Gu Buquan was so anxious that smoke came out of his throat.

"Don't be afraid, follow closely as father."

"Don't be afraid, follow Lord Wang closely."

It's ridiculous, but I have to admit that it's the safest to stay close to Wang Shangshu.

"Fengtai, he is such an idiot, stop thinking about him, and think about the goodness of King Ji. He really loves you deeply, and I was very moved when I saw it for my father. As far as my father knows, King Ji Soon you will be established as the crown prince, and in the future you will be the crown princess, and in the future, you will be the mother of the world, and in the future, the master's plan is all on you."

"Master?" Gu Buquan tried to calm down and asked, "Behind you, there is another master?"

"Yes, the former prince Yongming is the father's master and the eternal master."

Maybe it was because of mentioning his master, Wang Shangshu seemed a little excited, his eyes full of reverence.

"Nicknamed Scholar for my father, I walked all over the world with my second brother Swordsman and my third brother Huozhu decades ago. I was cornered by Ling Yue, the then head of the God Catcher. Fortunately, Prince Yongming's insight brought the three of us into custody." It is a pity that the previous dynasty was overthrown, and the three of my brothers risked their lives to protect Prince Yongming from the capital. But in the end, we came back, and we swore to the death to plan a great plan to restore the dynasty as our duty, even though we die, we will not regret it."

Wang Shangshu talked eloquently, while Ling An and Gu Buquan remained silent. The matter of the previous dynasty was too far away and too strange for them. For them, finding a way to solve the immediate crisis is the real thing.

Her eyes glanced at Wang Shangshu's right hand.

Although Wang Shangshu has been playing with the jade pendant with his left hand, his other right hand has been placed on the lamp from the beginning to the end.

That must be the agency that controls the study.
