The strongest peasant girl in Xiuse Jinyuan

Chapter 378 Fan's Conspiracy (2)
Seeing that the private room was quiet, Fan Zhen looked at the prince and said carefully.

"Hmph." He snorted first, and then continued: "People have already died in Fengxiang Tower, and they died foaming at the mouth in front of everyone. I see how Gu Xizhao can move back to Fengxiang this time." Building business."

The prince frowned, and he heard Fan Zhen's words verbatim.

The Gu family relied on the elders of the two dynasties and did not take the court or the Fan family seriously. What is even more abominable is that Gu Xizhao used twenty boxes of copper coins to perfuse the royal family. It is extremely abhorrent.

In fact, this is not the real reason why the prince is jealous of the Gu family.

The reason why Prince Ling Yu is so afraid of the Gu family is that Gu Xizhao and Ling Jing have always been close. Gu Xizhao was the prime minister of the two dynasties and had thousands of disciples. Coupled with the prestige of Prince Rui back then, these are the biggest obstacles for him, the prince, to ascend the throne in the future.

After Fan Zhen finished speaking, Prince Ling Yu picked up the wine bottle in front of him, and said with a smirk, "So, congratulations to my cousin, as long as the Gu family's business fails, then Shangjing will only have the Fan family's business. .”

Fan Zhen is quite intelligent, and the Fan family is Queen Fan's mother clan, a strong backing for the crown prince's ascension to the throne, so the prince often calls Fan Zhen his cousin.

While talking, Prince Ling Yu held up the wine bottle and offered a toast to Fan Zhen. The two smiled tacitly, and each drank the jade wine in the wine bottle.

The crown prince picked up two chopsticks and said to Fan Zhen: "Although I died in Fengxiang Tower, my cousin still needs to clean up the matter so as not to cause any trouble in the future."

After hearing what the prince said, Fan Zhen smiled viciously, "I don't need to bother the prince to worry about this."

A gust of spring breeze blew by, rustling the new leaves on the tree.

In Gu Xiang's mansion, Gu Xizhao frowned slightly, sitting in the flower hall lazily, wearing a plain white brocade robe pouring on the carved wooden chair.

Old Prime Minister Gu walked back and forth in the flower hall for two steps. Today, after finishing his work, he just returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion when he heard that the food in Fengxiang Building killed people.

Although his youngest son usually has a lazy temperament and is a bit dissolute and nonsensical, he still manages the Gu family's business dutifully. If he said that the food in the Gu family restaurant could kill people, he would not believe it if he was beaten to death.

It seems that it was the Gu family tree who attracted the wind, which aroused the jealousy of this villain and caused such disasters.

He is good at being an official and a minister, but he really can't make up his mind about things in the business field.

Seeing Old Prime Minister Gu pacing back and forth in the flower hall, Gu Xizhao said, "Father, your walking back and forth like this dazzles my eyes, please sit down quickly."

Gu Xizhao's tone of voice when speaking to Old Prime Minister Gu was relaxed, but he couldn't tell that he was worried at all.

Old Prime Minister Gu stopped in his tracks, turned sideways, gave Gu Xizhao a look, and spat: "You bastard, things have come to this, and you still look like a fool."

Gu Xizhao changed into a relaxed sitting position, raised one leg and put it on the knee of the other leg.

He glanced at Old Prime Minister Gu, and said calmly: "Father, in terms of being an official, I think I am not as good as you, but don't worry about business matters, I will take care of it myself."

At this time, Mrs. Gu Xiang was leading a maid into the flower hall, and the maid was holding lotus seed soup in her hand.

As soon as Mrs. Gu Xiang walked to the entrance of the flower hall, she heard the conversation between Gu Xizhao and Old Prime Minister Gu. She walked slowly in front of Old Prime Minister Gu, and said softly, "Master, Zhao'er will take care of the matter of the restaurant." Yes, you just came back, sit down to rest and drink a bowl of lotus seed soup to moisten your body."

"Hey, whatever." Old Prime Minister Gu sighed deeply, and then sat down.

Not long after, a young servant ran in hastily.

Without waiting for Prime Minister Gu to open his mouth, Gu Xizhao cast a pair of peach blossom eyes, glanced at the boy, and asked, "What happened?"

The young man didn't care to catch his breath, so he hurriedly reported the truth.

"Prime Minister, Young Master, Mr. Fu Yin has arrived and said that he wants to temporarily seal all the restaurants under the name of Young Master."

The boy's words fell, and after Gu Xizhao heard it clearly, he waved his hand lightly: "Go down."

Hmph, as expected, it came really fast.

The young man had just retired, not long after, other young men from the Xiang's mansion introduced the people from Jingzhao's mansion into the flower hall of Gu Xiang's mansion.

I saw an official with a round waist and a fat mustache, followed by five or six yamen servants, walking step by step towards the flower hall of Gu Xiangfu. , so you don't have to stand up to greet him.

The official with a round waist and a fat belly is Lu Qingyun, Yin of Jingzhao Mansion.

Walking to the entrance of the flower hall, several government servants from Jingzhao Mansion stopped in their tracks, not daring to go any further. Lu Qingyun slowly walked up to Old Prime Minister Gu, bent down and saluted, "Your Majesty has seen the Prime Minister."

"En." Old Prime Minister Gu hummed first, and after he glanced at Lu Qingyun, Yin of the Jingzhao Mansion, he said: "Your Majesty Lu, please sit down."

Old Prime Minister Gu's voice sounded above his head, Lu Qingyun raised his head, smiled awkwardly, then walked to the bottom, picked a seat and sat down.

He came here today to investigate the case of Fengxiang Tower, and he was really afraid of offending the Prime Minister, but there was an order from above, so he didn't dare not seal up Fengxiang Tower.

Besides, the fact that someone died from eating the food in Fengxianglou was in front of him, so even though Fengxianglou was the property of the Gu family, he had no choice but to follow the instructions of the above.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingyun felt a little bit more confident. He knew that the Gu family's business was managed by Mr. Gu, so he looked at Gu Xizhao with a smile on his face, and said, "Mr. Gu, what happened in Fengxiang Tower?" Murder case, forgive me for my duties, I have to temporarily seal up the restaurant business under your name."

Gu Xizhao raised his eyebrows, glanced at Lu Qingyun, and said calmly: "Oh, Mr. Lu is really a just and strict official." When he said this, there was a light sarcasm in his tone.

Although Gu Xizhao usually looked like a fool and a playboy, but once he got serious, the strong aura that overflowed from him was enough to scare ordinary people.

Lu Qingyun was looking at Gu Xizhao with a smile on his face, when he heard Gu Xizhao's sarcasm and caught a glimpse of Gu Xizhao's sharp eyes, his heart skipped a beat.

Xindao: Young Master Gu, he is indeed a difficult master to deal with.

Gu Xizhao raised the corners of his mouth, a mocking sneer condensed on his face, and then he continued to talk to Lu Qingyun: "The man died in Fengxiang Tower, Master Lu will seal up all the restaurants under the name of the Gu family, if it is confirmed in the future, This person's death has nothing to do with Fengxianglou, and I hope Master Lu can restore Fengxianglou's innocence. I believe Master Lu should know exactly how to do it. As for the investigation, Gu Xizhao will definitely cooperate with Master Lu."
