The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 425 Slap in the face (two more)

The middle-aged man beside him said: "What? Prince? Wen Yang is his brother-in-law, why did he kill him?"

The young man hehe said: "You don't know that, the princess has always been displeased with the behavior of her natal family, she has almost cut off contact with them, do you still remember the break of the cable bridge on the first day of the new year? The Wen family closed the bridge and road under the guise of the princess, which caused the people offering incense to have nowhere to go, so they could only squeeze the cable bridge, which was broken in the end."

Another scholar said: "I remember this, His Majesty even punished the Crown Princess."

The young man said: "Yes, after that, the Crown Princess will not have any contact with her natal family, but who made this man named Wen Yang persist in going to the palace to ask the Crown Princess for money, and even scolded the Crown Prince if he couldn't get it?" Concubine is a hen that can't lay eggs!"

The original words are not like this, but it becomes very mean to spread rumors among the people.

"In a fit of anger, the prince gave Wen Yang to..."

The young man gestured to wipe his neck.

Gu Jiao heard the news in the medical clinic, and the second boss was gossiping with her.

"Everyone says it's the prince." The second owner said.

At the chamber of commerce, he won the places for joint cooperation of major shops, stepped on Huichuntang firmly, and at the same time raised his eyebrows, he walked with wind, let alone talked.

Gu Jiao said nothing.

"Do you think so?" The second owner continued to gossip.

of course not.

Based on her understanding of the prince, the prince would not be able to kill his brother-in-law.

Who is the murderer?

It is really eye-opening for King Ning to come up with such a curvy way to save the country.

That's right, it's hard to find a concubine with status. Isn't a brother who is related by blood ready-made?

The brother who is also shameless and incompetent can also be used as a top bag.

It's just that Gu Jiao didn't expect King Ning to be so ruthless. After all, he was Wen Linlang's elder brother, and he killed him as soon as he said he wanted to.

This ruthlessness and decisiveness are somewhat similar to the rumored late emperor, and the prince will not be as decisive as King Ning after ten or eight years of practice.

If such a character was born in troubled times, he would definitely be the overlord of a generation.

"Oh! Second owner! Miss Gu! It's not good, it's not good!"

While the two were talking, shopkeeper Wang rushed in sweating profusely, "Something happened in the workshop!"

The workshop shopkeeper Wang mentioned is the pharmaceutical factory of Miaoshoutang.

In an open place in the western suburbs of the capital, it was originally a small wine shop, but after it closed down, it was taken over by the second owner.

The biggest production line in it is acne medicine, which occupies two large courtyards, followed by creams and some tonics, each occupying a courtyard.

When Gu Jiao and the second owner arrived at the scene, the fire had been brought under control, but the stock of the sore medicine had also been burned out.

"Oh, that's thousands of bottles of Jinchuang medicine! It will be delivered at the end of the month!" Shopkeeper Wang said sadly.

"Are there any casualties?"

This is Gu Jiao's first question.

Shopkeeper Wang called the steward of the workshop over, and the steward said: "At that time, everyone was working, no one went to the warehouse, and there was no injury."

"Okay." Gu Jiao looked at the burnt-out warehouse, nodded and said, "I'll go to the barracks and say that delivery will be made in a few days later, and the second owner can contact you to see if you can buy a new batch of medicinal materials as soon as possible. "

"Hey, good." The second owner responded, and then he asked the cause of the fire, "How did the water escape? Didn't I tell you to be careful not to bring the fire near the warehouse?"

The steward said sadly and anxiously: "The little one doesn't know what's going on! The little one will inspect it every day, once in the daytime at an hour, and twice in the night! Nothing wrong has been found... The fire It's like it's suddenly on fire!"

Gu Jiao went to the ruins to have a look. The open fire had been extinguished, but there was still a little black smoke in the ruins.

Gu Jiao's fingertips touched the ground, took it to the tip of her nose and sniffed it, and said calmly: "Someone set fire to it, someone poured palm oil on the back wall."

"What? Arson? Who did it! The ghost is still—" Er Dong's face darkened, "Call everyone over, I want to ask carefully!"

Gu Jiao stood up calmly, patted the dust off her hands, and said, "Don't ask, they didn't set the fire."

It's King Ning.

It seems that the fact that he went to find Princess Ning angered King Ning.

In fact, she didn't reveal too much to Princess Ning, she only said that Princess Rui offended someone who shouldn't be offended, maybe the other party was not good for Princess Rui, as for who that person was and what he did, Gu Jiao didn't mention a word.

Gu Jiao had no idea whether Princess Ning had guessed that King Ning was on his head, or how Princess Ning had saved Princess Rui from King Ning.

King Ning was giving her a warning.

Gu Jiao pulled the corner of her lips.

I wanted to keep this pot of leeks and cut them slowly, but who made you owe it.

The moon is dark and the wind is high.

Gu Chengfeng finally paid off all his debts, and he had a good night's sleep.

What he didn't expect was that when he slept until midnight, he felt something scratching his face.

He thought it was Gu Chenglin, turned over and continued to sleep.

Unexpectedly, that thing got into his quilt directly.

Gu Chengfeng woke up suddenly and jumped out of bed: "Who are you!"

Xiao Jiu put the quilt on her head and flapped her wings in a dazed expression: "Hey?"

After seeing Hai Dongqing clearly in front of him, the corner of Gu Chengfeng's mouth twitched fiercely.

I have been to Bishui Hutong so many times, it is impossible not to know this eagle.

Xiao Jiu jumped in front of Gu Chengfeng, and arrogantly stretched out her bird claws.

Gu Chengfeng took a closer look, good guy, there is a note tied to it!

Gu Chengfeng took off the note and unfolded it.

There are only three words on it - Prince Ning's Mansion.

There is also a bloody knife drawn on the back.

Gu Chengfeng: "..."

These days, people don't even come to the door in person, instead of running errands for Xiaoniao, right?

Because of his dissatisfaction with Gu Jiao's perfunctory attitude, Gu Chengfeng ignored the meaning of the three words Ning Wang Fu.

It wasn't until he followed Xiao Jiu to the courtyard wall of Prince Ning's Mansion that his eyes widened as if he had just woken up from a dream!

Where did this girl call him?

Prince Ning's Mansion?

Gu Chengfeng turned around and left!

He was crazy to go to Prince Ning's mansion with her!

It's a pity that Gu Chengfeng left too late, a small hand stretched out and grabbed him into Prince Ning's mansion.

Gu Chengfeng again: "..."

As soon as the two landed, a group of patrolling guards passed by, and Gu Chengfeng hurriedly led her into the back of the big tree with lightness kung fu!

When the guards walked away, Gu Chengfeng looked at Gu Jiao in anger: "What's going on this time? Why did you come to Prince Ning's mansion?"

Prince Ning's Mansion is the largest prince's mansion in the capital. Although there are no Dragon Shadow Guards, there are many traps and tight defenses. It is by no means easy to trespass!

"Do you understand if there is an organ!"

He gritted his teeth.

Gu Jiao: "Oh."

Gu Chengfeng closed his eyes, he really wanted to die!

After a long while, he finally calmed down: "You haven't answered my question, what are you doing in Prince Ning's Mansion?"

Gu Jiao said bluntly: "Robbery."

Gu Chengfeng looked at her night clothes chillingly: "Are you sure it's not theft?"

Gu Jiao murmured: "Almost."

"Why did King Ning offend you?" Gu Chengfeng knew this girl too well, she usually didn't steal things for money——

Gu Jiao: "Quickly find out where the gold in Prince Ning's Mansion is hidden?"

Gu Chengfeng: Is it really good to slap your face so quickly?

King Ning is a very rich prince, and Gu Chengfeng found out King Ning's small treasury with great skill.

"How much do you want?" Gu Chengfeng asked.

"Just as much as the two of us can take." Gu Jiao took out two big bags from the small back basket, "Empty."

Gu Chengfeng: "...!!"

In the end, the two left King Ning's Mansion with two sacks full of gold bars on their backs, and there was still a gold bar that couldn't fit, so Xiao Jiu carried it back.

The two successfully emptied King Ning's small treasury with one bird.

It was the afternoon of the second day when King Ning learned of this.

As soon as he came out of the palace, he saw his confidant guard rushing over in a hurry: "It's no good, master, the warehouse has been stolen!"

"Which warehouse?" Prince Ning's mansion has several warehouses, including his and Princess Ning's.

The confidant guard bit the bullet and said: "...your little treasury."

King Ning frowned!

He squeezed his fist and asked, "How much was stolen?"

The confidant said with a guilty conscience: "All, all."

King Ning's eyes sank: "The palace is heavily guarded, how did people move out so much gold? Not to mention there is a mechanism! Is it because the person is dead, or the mechanism can't be moved!"

The confidant said in a low voice: "Neither, neither."

My confidant is also wronged.

The guards of the palace have been patrolling as before, nothing went wrong, and the agencies are operating normally.

Who knows how His Highness King Ning's small treasury was stolen?

King Ning felt that this matter was not simple, he should care more about who had the guts to move his treasury than who had the ability to evacuate his treasury?

He is the eldest son of the emperor, backed by not only the love of the emperor, but also the respect of the empress dowager, and the support of the dealer, even the empress Xiao and the prince dare not touch him easily.

Somehow.

A slender figure suddenly flashed in King Ning's mind.

Could it be her?

Reason tells King Ning that it is unlikely, after all, even if she is favored by the Queen Mother and His Majesty, she is an outsider and a woman after all.

The confidant asked: "Master, do you want to report to the official?"

King Ning's eyes were cold: "You want to kill me?"

The confidant lowered his head: "Subordinates dare not!"

So much gold, if he really reported it to the official, he would be the one who was investigated.

King Ning narrowed his eyes.

Very good, this dumb Kui eats really well!

In the end, King Ning still went to the clinic.

One of the clerks at the medicine station asked for leave today, Xiao Jiangli and the other clerk were too busy, Gu Jiao also came to help

She had just finished grabbing medicine for a patient when she saw King Ning appearing in the lobby in a celestial aura.

King Ning's appearance and demeanor are considered the most outstanding among the princes, he has the appearance of an emperor, and also has the appearance of a city, his gestures are unparalleled.

The lobby was silent for a moment.

for his presence.

Except for Gu Jiao, no one in the room knew his identity, but the nobility emanating from his bones still made everyone's breathing stagnate.

"This one costs three dollars..." After Gu Jiao explained to Xiao Jiangli, she walked over slowly.

King Ning was standing in front of the counter at this time, behind the counter was shopkeeper Wang.

Shopkeeper Wang was already stunned by King Ning's demeanor and appearance, and he didn't make a sound for a long time.

King Ning spoke first, of course, not to shopkeeper Wang, but to Gu Jiao: "Doctor Gu."

"What's wrong?" Gu Jiao asked.

King Ning smiled and said: "It's nothing serious, but I just happened to pass by here and wanted to ask about Su Xin's condition. I heard that Dr. Gu has gone to see Su Xin for a follow-up visit."

Gu Jiao said frankly: "Ah, yes, there is no big problem for the time being, just continue to take the medicine."

Although Gu Jiao's acting skills are eye-catching, there is one thing that she has never felt guilty.

King Ning looked at her deeply: "Where was Dr. Gu last night?"

Gu Jiao raised her eyebrows and said, "Ren Shou Palace, I don't know what His Royal Highness Prince Ning is asking about this?"

thump!

The shopkeeper Wang behind the counter knelt down.

King Ning's expression did not fluctuate at all, his smile was still warm, but his eyes were slightly sharp.

He moved closer to Gu Jiao, slightly lowered his noble head, this posture seemed a bit intimate to others.

Gu Jiao looked at him without dodging.

King Ning smiled faintly: "Doctor Gu, there was no need for this kind of quarrel between me and you. The Queen Mother loves you very much. We are on the same boat."

Gu Jiao: Oh, it turns out that people on a boat can kill people and set things on fire.

King Ning stepped forward another three minutes, and whispered in her ear: "You are still young, and you don't know the dangers of the world. For the Queen Mother's sake, this king will give you a few words of advice - you must be self-aware, don't Don’t overestimate yourself, and don’t be too greedy, the water depth in the pool in the capital is just enough to paddle casually, don’t really become addicted to swimming, I’m afraid you won’t be able to swim.”

Gu Jiao also whispered: "Don't worry, King Ning, I am very good at swimming."

Ning Wang was slightly squinted by her arrogant words, he straightened up, and said meaningfully: "Doctor Gu, take care."

Gu Jiao folded her hands in her arms: "Walk slowly, don't see you off."

After King Ning left, the shopkeeper Wang squeezed his cold sweat and supported the counter to stand up: "Fang Fangfang... just now that person is His Highness King Ning?"

"En." Gu Jiao hummed, took out two gold bars from her purse and put them on the table.

Shopkeeper Wang was stunned: "What is this?"

Gu Jiao looked at the back of King Ning walking away with anger, and said calmly: "The compensation is given by the arsonist."

Shopkeeper Wang: "..."

However, after King Ning left the clinic, he immediately went to the palace.

He naturally wanted to check whether Gu Jiao was resting in Renshou Palace last night, but not long after he entered the palace, he saw the dazed Crown Princess near the Jinluan Palace.

There is only Chunying beside the princess.

Seeing King Ning approaching, Chunying hurriedly stepped aside.

The princess was still immersed in a huge shock, completely unaware that there was a new person beside her.

"How...really...why..."

She looked in the direction of the Golden Temple, and grabbed "Chun Ying"'s hand incoherently.

When the man's touch came through her fingertips and palm, she turned her head in shock, and then she quickly withdrew her hand.

There was no one else around at the moment, and besides, she was standing behind a big tree, so her vision was well blocked.

King Ning approached her without any scruples, his broad chest almost pressed against her slightly trembling back: "What did you see, you are so out of control?"

The Crown Princess turned her face away, avoiding his presence, as if she had a bit of revenge and anger: "A-Heng is back."

King Ning frowned: "What did you say?"

The Crown Princess turned around indifferently, and looked at him mockingly: "Heng is back...Xiao Heng, who was killed by you, is back!"
