Eternal traitor

Chapter 70 Profit maximization
In the main hall of Gu's mansion, a young girl opened the door with two cups of boiled hot tea, and placed them in front of Ying Zheng and Mr. Gu Ran. She glanced at Ying Zheng timidly, then quickly withdrew her gaze, red Standing on the spot with a straight face, he was at a loss.

The young girl didn't see the blood in Ying Zheng's robe at all, and her red face seemed to be imagining all the good things.After all, this is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is not only noble, but also young and handsome. How can such a young man let the girl forget him? ?

"Cough cough Xiaoyu, you go down."

Gu Ran coughed softly and let out a cry of hunger, which brought the girl back to her senses. Looking at her little granddaughter, a smile appeared on Gu Ran's old face.

"Yes, Grandpa."

The moment the girl woke up, she quickly responded, and left the room with a blank mind. She even forgot how she left the room, and Ying Zheng's handsome face always appeared in her mind.

"Granddaughter Gu Yu, she is thirteen years old, she likes to talk a lot when she gets old. I don't know why His Royal Highness is here late at night??"

Of course, Gu Ran didn't simply say such a sentence, he was fighting for the welfare of his family, what if his granddaughter could marry Ying Zheng? ?As long as Ying Zheng agrees, he will definitely stand on Ying Zheng's side unswervingly.

"Beauty is like jade, that's true." Ying Zheng smiled and praised the girl's beautiful face unabashedly, and then said calmly, "It is indeed a kind of unfeeling invitation for me to come here late at night."

In fact, the girl Gu Yu is considered a beauty, but she is not so beautiful as to overwhelm the country.Even so, this girl can be regarded as the most beautiful girl in the younger generation.Otherwise, Gu Ran would not have arranged for this girl to deliver tea at this precious time.

"Please speak, Your Highness."

Gu Ran picked up the tea beside him, took a sip and said with a smile.At his age, stability is the most important thing, just like the issue of standing on the sidelines, only by being calm can we survive in this vortex of power better.

"My palace was assassinated tonight."

Ying Zheng calmly uttered a terrifying sentence, coupled with the blood on his body, it was hard for people not to believe the truth of these words.

"puff"

Gu Ran didn't drink the tea in one sip, but spit the tea into the cup again, his eyes widened, and he looked at Ying Zheng in disbelief.Then he put down the tea in his hand, stood up righteously and said: "Who is so bold?? Could it be that he deceived no one in Qin?? If I let the old man know who it is, I will definitely kill these thieves."

Gu Ran blew his beard and shouted, people who didn't know thought that this old guy's son had been killed. If it was about acting, this old man could be said to be at the level of a movie king.

"People from the Li family."

A smile appeared on the corner of Ying Zheng's mouth, and he said to Gu Ran.

"Uh, people from the Li family?? Is there any misunderstanding??"

Even if Gu Ran was killed, he didn't believe that the Li family dared to risk the power of the world to assassinate the crown prince. This was to punish the nine clans. Besides, the king of Qin was still young, so the fight for the position hadn't reached this level, right? ?
"There is no misunderstanding, I have cut off the hands of Li Yi, the city guard, with my own hands."

Only now did Ying Zheng realize that Gu Ran was in trouble, and he was talking about what to do, but when he heard that it was the Li family who made the move, he immediately said that there might be a misunderstanding, and he didn't say a word about the move.

""

Gu Ran didn't speak, and sat down slowly, then picked up the cup of tea again, pretending to drink tea to cover his face, and kept savoring the information given by Ying Zheng.Li Yi is the younger brother of Concubine Li Gui. The two siblings are now the spokespersons of the Li family. Ying Zheng cut off Li Yi's hands. Will the Li family be willing? ?Don't you have to make a fuss? ?

"Does your Highness have evidence??"

After struggling for a long time, Gu Ran still asked the most important thing.If the assassination was directed and acted by Ying Zheng himself, and then blamed on the Li family, it would be understandable to cut the wings of the Li family.

"As for the assassination, the dragon guards testified. As for other evidence, I cut off Li Yi's hands, and he has already explained everything."

"How will Your Highness handle this matter?"

After all, Gu Ran was an old fox, he didn't express his position lightly at all, but asked about Ying Zheng's reality.Even if Ying Zheng's words were extravagant, he would not easily express his opinion without enough information.

"That's enough."

Although Ying Zheng was a bit unwilling, he insisted on changing the target of the assassination from Li Hua to Ying Zheng, not to mention King Qin, even the ministers probably didn't believe any of them, Gu Ran is the best example.If you really want to rely on the Li family, then the Li family will probably fall into chaos.

Letting the Li family give up the post of city guard this time is not a small concession.

"Then why is your Highness looking for this old man?"

Upon hearing Ying Zheng's words, Gu Ran instantly understood that there must be some twists and turns, so he simply ignored the matter and waited for tomorrow's conclusion.Otherwise, the prince would definitely not give up the chance to get rid of the Li family so easily.

"I want Master Gu to recommend Meng Yi for the post of City Guard Division."

Ying Zheng doesn't seem to be playing tricks with Gu Ran, this old man is so slippery, he doesn't want to stalk a rabbit if he doesn't see a rabbit, if he really spends it with him, he probably won't be able to sleep tonight.

"Meng Yi?? But I don't know much about him, how can I recommend him?"

Gu Ran neither recommended nor refused, he wanted to see what benefits Ying Zheng could give him, or what Ying Zheng thought of this time.After all, the prince's status is special, and he will not make a move if he is not completely sure.

"Gu Huaye, the second son of Gu, I admire him very much, and I plan to transfer him to work under my command. I wonder what Master Gu thinks?"

Yingzheng made an offer. I will give your son a chance to go up and do things by my side. You join my side and settle the matter of recommendation.

"Although Xiao Ye acted decisively, but she lacked experience, it is better to send my eldest son"

"I have made up my mind, if Master Gu is unwilling, I will personally recommend it tomorrow."

Before Gu Ran could tell his little plan, Ying Zheng over here flatly refused.The Gu family only has some friendship with Gu Huaye, he doesn't know the others, and he doesn't want to know them.The Gu family brothers have had a bad relationship since they were young, and they can only get one of them. Gu Huaye has meritorious service, so this person can only be him, and it must be him.

"Your Highness, let this old man think more about it."

Gu Ran didn't expect Ying Zheng to be so resolute that he directly blocked his next words.

"Master Gu, there is one thing I have been telling you all the time." Ying Zheng picked up his own teacup, touched the cold tea, and said softly, "The icing on the cake is a beautiful thing, but it's a little better than giving charcoal in the middle of the snow." Insufficient."

""

Gu Ran remained silent. Gu Huaye's actions doomed the Gu family to rely on Ying Zheng. There was no other choice. What he did now was just to maximize the benefits.
