Chapter 86 Two people visit Liu's house

A lot of people soon arrived outside Liu's mansion. They were dressed festively and carried things as they walked outside the mansion.

"The prince has a reward, so I came here to give you a thank you gift!"

At this time, Liu Zhandong, the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, had just returned home and was listening to Mrs. Liu talking incessantly about Liu Liantang.

After Madam Liu finished speaking, her face was full of grievance, "Master, what do you say we should do? Liu Liantang has suddenly transformed himself into a distinguished guest of the palace. Are we going to..."

Seeing Madam Liu like this, Liu Zhandong's face turned very bad. "Look at you, you are no different from a nagging woman! You don't even know how to use your brain!"

"It's a good thing for us that Lian Tang has become a distinguished guest in the palace! No matter how bad we are to him, we will still discipline him strictly! After all, I am still his biological father! I can't even get promoted because of this!"

"Master! Master! The King of Dingzhou has sent someone to give the Third Young Master a gift!"

Hearing this, Liu Zhandong quickly smiled, "Quick, invite everyone in the palace in, and call out the Third Young Master as well!"

"Yes, sir!"

Seeing Wu Jiang and his men being invited in, Liu Zhandong greeted them cheerfully, "Who are you?"

Wu Jiang glanced at Liu Zhandong in front of him, and judging from his attire, he guessed that this man was the Deputy Director of the Ministry of Personnel.

"The prince's personal bodyguard, Wu Jiang."

"It turns out to be Guard Wu. Please take a seat!"

Liu Zhandong knew that this man had been the King of Dingzhou's bodyguard and confidant for many years, so he had to treat him well.

"Quick, show Guard Wu the tea."

While they were greeting each other, Liu Zhandong took the initiative to say, "My son Liantang will be here soon, Guard Wu can just wait for a moment."

"I don't know what I have done to deserve such favor from the prince. This is a blessing for everyone in the Liu family!"

Wu Jiang naturally understood the hidden meaning of Liu Zhandong's words. He wanted to make his family prosperous if he succeeded.

How ridiculous!
The Liu family treated Liu Liantang so harshly. Now that Liu Liantang is appreciated by the prince, the people of the Liu family want to take advantage of Liu Liantang.

"The prince has said that there is no need to mention this matter again."

This sentence also made Liu Zhandong shut his mouth.

After a while, Liu Liantang came.

Wu Jiang quickly stood up to greet him, with a smile on his face that came from the heart. After all, the princess's health improved after Liu Liantang came to the palace.

"Guard Wu."

"Master Liu, my prince feels that thanks are not enough, so he sent me here to give you something. It's just a small gift, I hope you won't despise it."

"No, no, Your Majesty is too polite. I am a little flattered."

After Wu Jiang left, Liu Zhandong quickly came to Liu Liantang's aid.

"Son, you really made dad proud by making friends with the King of Dingzhou!"

Liu Liantang knew that falling out with Liu Zhandong at this time would be detrimental to what he wanted to investigate, so he just watched with a smile on his face.

"Dad, you praise me too much."

"I was too negligent in the past. I hope you won't take it too seriously. My eyes are dim."

"No, no, how can a son blame his father? I know that Dad is doing this for my own good."

"Good, good, good! You are worthy of being your father's good son!" Seeing Liu Liantang's words, Liu Zhandong suddenly liked this son and forgot that he had been so bad to him.

Liu Liantang suppressed the nausea and hatred in his heart and continued to talk with Liu Zhandong with a smile.

----

General's Mansion.

"Dad, I heard that King Dingzhou has invited Liu Liantang to the palace several times these days!" Gu Changce deliberately said this in front of the whole family.

"The prince probably did this for the princess, so that the princess would think that the young prince has returned." Gu Xun pretended to be thoughtful.

[It seems that they are not far from recognizing each other in this situation! I remember what the key to their meeting was. Let me think about it...]

[Yes! It is the longevity lock that Liu Liantang wore when he was still in his infancy! That lock was made by craftsmen personally ordered by Princess Dingzhou. There is only one in the entire capital, or even in the entire Anlin Kingdom. There is absolutely no way there will be a second one! ]

[But if the longevity lock appears now, it means that Aunt Zhang must have... Aunt Zhang told Liu Liantang about the longevity lock before she died. After Liu Liantang found the longevity lock, he kept it with him every day.]

[After Aunt Zhang died, Liu Liantang was very sad. After all, she was the only person in the Liu family who treated him well. Before she died, Aunt Zhang told Liu Liantang that he was not the son of the Liu family, but was stolen by Aunt Zhao.]

[After Nanny Zhang died, Liu Liantang pretended to be friendly in order to seek revenge, and happened to find out that Liu Zhandong was corrupt and selling official positions. Finally, Liu Liantang found an account book, got a hold of Liu Zhandong's bills, and sent everyone in Liu's house to jail.]

The others: Buying and selling official positions! How dare you!

However, Gu Xun quickly reacted: Jiang Meng meant that Liu Zhandong had an account book!
However, what they wanted to know most was about Aunt Zhang. If Aunt Zhang was really dead, Liu Liantang would know that he was not the son of the Liu family, and he would also start to investigate Liu Zhandong's buying and selling of official positions.

What’s more important is whether Liu Liantang is wearing the longevity lock every day at this time!
It sounds like Aunt Zhang was the only person who was kind to Liu Liantang. I'm sure Liu Liantang must have been heartbroken after her death.

If Nanny Zhang were still alive, they would try their best to protect her!

Seeing that Gu Jiangmeng fell asleep, Gu Changce found an excuse and left.

If Gu Changce didn't leave, Gu Xun would naturally find an excuse to leave.

After all, they both had the same goal, and both wanted to go to Liu's house to find out what was going on.

Gu Changce was very good at Qinggong, so he decided to go directly to Liu's house. Gu Xun handed the matter over to Qingshan, after all, Qingshan was also good at Qinggong.

So the two of them changed their clothes and set out from the General's Mansion and rushed towards Liu's Mansion.

Although it is daytime now, it is gradually getting dark, so it is possible to take a look at this time.

Gu Changce and Qingshan arrived at Liu's house one after another.

After all, Gu Changce went straight to Liu's house, and it was Gu Xun who told him about Qingshan.

If an acquaintance met Gu Changce dressed like this, he would definitely be stunned for a while.

After all, Gu Changce was dressed like a servant, with his face smeared with black paint and a beard, giving him the image of a typical middle-aged uncle.

Coincidentally, Qingshan and Gu Changce also have the same image now. It can be seen that these two people have some tacit understanding.

After Gu Changce arrived at Liu's house, he climbed over the wall and went in. After all, he was sneaking in, so his steps naturally had to be light.

Just like that, Qingshan also arrived at Liu's residence. The two of them were about two feet apart.

Gu Changce was only thinking about finding Liu Liantang's residence, so naturally he didn't expect that there was someone behind him who had the same goal as him.

Qingshan is a secret guard after all. He often tracks and investigates cases, so his vigilance is naturally higher than Gu Changce's.

Otherwise, if he was like Gu Changce, who didn't even know there was someone following him, his life would have been over long ago.
