Chapter 235 Jin丨Exclusively published by Jiang Wenxue
Yu Qi had nothing to do these days, so he pretended to be all kinds of people, passed by Yu Luocha from time to time, and completely grasped his whereabouts.
The Western Regions are quite far from the capital, and Yu Luocha may have felt that since he had come here, he couldn't make a wasted trip, so he organized a lot of Luocha people and pretended to be ordinary people to enter the imperial city.
Yu Qi picked a random person and followed him for two days, and found that he contacted many people, including those from Liufenbantang, Jinfengxiyulou, Mitianmeng, and Youqiao Group, but no one paid attention to him, or it might be that the time was too short and the other party had not made a decision yet.
However, according to Pei Rui and Yuan Feishuang's observations, no one dared to step forward at this time.
The man disguised himself as a vegetable vendor and ran all over the city. It seemed that he had gained nothing, but in fact, he had figured out all the government offices and gangs.
His style of doing things was the same as Yu Qi's. Even though he could not disguise himself, he just painted his face darker and hunched his back. He was like a different person. He carried vegetables and sold them everywhere. He was not noticeable at all. He did not attract Gong Jiu's attention at all, and no one reported him to the original body. If Yu Qi had not been keeping an eye on Luosha Cult from beginning to end, he might not have discovered that there was such an extra person in the city.
After contacting various forces, he did not intend to leave. He found an inn to stay in, as if he was waiting for someone.
A few days later, the war in the front was a great victory. Before the news came back, the inn welcomed guests.
Yu Qi disguised himself as a beggar, squatting in a narrow alley, staring at the passers-by with his bright black eyes, and occasionally glancing at the windows upstairs.
Maybe because he was dressed too badly, he received a lot of copper money in a short time.
Yu Qi put the money away silently.
Half an hour later, the people inside came out, and after they walked away, Yu Qi set out to catch up, all the way to Bujiezhai.
The system was indignant: [I knew it was this bastard! ]
Xue Chen: [Huh? Why isn't this word blocked? ]
System: [Huh? ]
The system may be experimenting with blocking words, and it stopped making trouble.
Bujiezhai looks like a strange carnivore alliance, but it is actually Fang Yingkan's mansion.
In addition to the Shentong Marquis Mansion, this is the only place where he lives in the capital. Whenever there is something going on with the Youqiao Group, they usually come here to discuss it.
Yu Qi watched him go in, found a hidden corner, curled up, and tried to make himself less conspicuous. He stared at the door of Bujiezhai with his remaining eyes, observing the people coming in and out.
At the Taiping Palace, Xue Chen ran into Gong Jiu face to face as soon as he opened the door, and almost bumped into him.
How can this person walk silently?
Oh, I walk silently too.
The two looked at each other, confirmed that they were thinking the same thing in their hearts, and laughed at the same time.
Xue Chen: "I was just about to look for you."
Gong Jiu resumed his cold look, with a smile in his eyes, "so I came."
"Sit down." Xue Chen asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Following my brother's orders, I sent people to keep an eye on the movements in the city. Not long ago, news came back saying that Tang Feiyu had left the capital. I wonder if my brother is looking for me for this?"
"Almost." Xue Chen asked, "When did it happen?"
"About an hour ago. My people have followed, but Tang Feiyu is not that easy to deal with. I'm afraid they will return empty-handed."
Tang Feiyu is a member of the Tang Clan. He is proficient in hidden weapons and poison, and his martial arts are not bad, but his character is not very good, and he has a very bad relationship with the Tang Clan.
Fang Yingkan didn't do many bad things himself, but his Youqiao Group recruited everyone, which was a den of thieves. After Tang Feiyu joined, he did all kinds of evil things, including raping and killing women and forcing the whole family to death. The others were similar, not good people. In order to win over his subordinates to work for him, Fang Yingkan never restricted them at all.
Gong Jiu: "I want to go there in person."
He has always looked down on Fang Yingkan's behavior. Fang Yingkan was able to get this title because of his adoptive father. Fang Juxia has a reputation as a hero, but he is not a royal relative and has no foundation in the court. Fang Yingkan thought that he could gain a firm foothold by relying on Mi Youqiao, but he didn't think of shooting the first bird out.
Things are accomplished by secrecy, and words are ruined by leaks. It is still the eldest brother who has a far-sighted plan. He did not even reveal it to himself when he was lying in ambush. When the time comes,
he will use thundering means to make a quick decision. This is the way to accomplish great things. In the past, Fang Yingkan could not hinder him no matter what he did. Now that the world belongs to their family, Fang
Yingkan can no longer do whatever he wants. At present, we don’t know what Fang Yingkan is going to do, so it is not easy to deal with him directly, but killing Tang Feiyu is still possible.
"Be more restrained." Xue Chen held the back of his hand. His brother's hand was warmer than his own and felt very comfortable. "Let's go together."
Gong Jiu looked down and said, "Where are we going?" "
Not fasting."
"Take action directly?"
"Yes."
Gong Jiu felt that the time was too early. Even if Fang Yingkan was arrested, there was no evidence to convict him. But the eldest brother must have his reasons for saying so. He hesitated, "Brother, if you want to do something, just let me do it. Why
do you have to go there in person?" "I've been at home for too long and want to go out for some fresh air." Xue Chen smiled, "Or do you think you can't protect me?"
"Of course not!"
"I'll go change my clothes and I'll be there soon."
Gong Jiu immediately ordered someone to prepare the car, and he also changed his clothes. After Xue Chen was ready, the two of them were not in a hurry and walked slowly to the front.
Before they reached the door, a servant opened the door, and a carriage stopped in front, and then Prince Taiping came out.
He has been very busy these days, running back and forth in the palace, and he didn't even have time to go to the military camp. In addition, Xue Chen deliberately avoided him, so the father and son's schedules were completely out of sync. Since Cai Jing's death, they have not met until now.
Xue Chen slowed down his pace when he ran into his father who was so imposing.
System: [It's too late to leave now.]
Xue Chen: [How about pretending to be fainted?]
[Are you not going to beat Fang Ying up?] The system seemed to be much more stable than before, and its words were actually very organized and restrained. It was not as obvious as before when it was gloating over misfortunes. The system was very disappointed with the failure, [If I had known this would happen, I would have done it in the first place!]
Xue Chen: [Wuwu.]
"Where are you two going?" When the King Taiping saw them, his face suddenly turned gloomy. Regardless of whether he was really angry or not, his attitude was left here, making it clear that he was going to investigate the previous secret.
Gong Jiu didn't hear his brother's reply, thinking that he hoped that he would communicate more with the King Taiping, and answered: "Not fasting." The
King Taiping looked at one and then the other, and felt that the expressions of these two troublemakers were similar. It must be that the younger brother was afraid that his elder brother would do something bad and be punished by him, so he deliberately pretended to be like this.
He couldn't tell who was who for a while, so he simply punished both of them together, "You two, come to me."
Xue Chen: "Dad, Fang Ying sees that there is a movement over there. If you miss this opportunity, I don't know how long you will have to wait. If you have anything, wait until Lian'er and I come back." The one
who dared to talk back must be Xue Lian.
Xue Chen turned and left.
Gong Jiu looked back at King Taiping and followed his brother.
King Taiping shouted, "Stop them!"
The guards came over and surrounded the door. They did not dare to draw their swords and pleaded, "Two young masters, please go back."
Xue Chen's expression did not change, and he continued to move forward.
The guards could not tell the two of them apart, and they were afraid of bumping into the weak eldest young master. They did not dare to touch him at all, and they retreated step by step. King
Taiping saw that he could not rely on these people, so he strode over quickly, grabbed Gong Jiu, and said to Xue Chen, "It's none of your business, do what you have to do."
Xue Chen was stunned for a moment, and looked at Gong Jiu, who had a helpless look on his face. Xue Chen nodded indifferently, turned around, and curled the corners of his mouth.
System: [Did you know that Prince Taiping was coming back, so you called Gong Jiu to go out with you and even changed your clothes?]
Xue Chen: [No, I don’t know how to tell fortunes.]
System: [You don’t know how to tell fortunes, but Xiao Xie does.]
Xue Chen: [Guess?]
How could the system guess? Even if it did, it wouldn’t admit it. It cursed: [Dog.]
Xue Chen got into the carriage: [Is this the dirty word you came up with after being shut up for half an hour?]
System: [Beep——]
The guards outside couldn’t tell the brothers apart, so they tried to address them vaguely: “Young Master, are you leaving now?”
Xue Chen: “Let’s go.”
If it were in the past, Gong Jiu would definitely fight him if Prince Taiping held his wrist like this. Unless the eldest brother warned him, he would hold back.
This time, the eldest brother said nothing and did not give any hints, but Gong Jiu could not make any move to fight back.
Is the Prince of Taiping no longer the same as before, and has he succumbed to authority?
Absolutely not.
Gong Jiu thought to himself that it turned out that he was not as cold as he had imagined. Even though he had hated him for nearly ten years, he still cared about the relationship between father and son after the truth came out.
Not long ago, the Prince of Taiping kicked Gong Jiu several times. Now, a month has passed, and his anger has long subsided, but what these two sons did was really too much, and they should not be forgiven easily, otherwise who knows what excessive actions they will take in the future.
Xue Lian has a cold and stubborn personality. He looks strong, but he is actually very dependent on his brother. This child simply doesn't listen. Instead of lecturing him, it is better to teach the older one directly. Take good care of Xue Chen, and Xue Li will naturally get better.
Xue Chen is sickly and cannot be treated violently. Prince Taiping sat on the chair with great dignity, staring at his son standing in front of him.
After not seeing him for a month, he seemed to have lost weight again.
Prince Taiping hardened his heart and did not let him sit down. He said lightly, "Did you know I was back today?"
Gong Jiu: "Yeah."
He has been helping Prince Taiping these two days. Although the father and son rarely see each other, their work content overlaps to some extent. He is very clear about each other's progress and can guess it to some extent.
Prince Taiping slammed the table, but was afraid of startling the child who had been weak since childhood, so he did not dare to use too much force. He had a cold face and a bit of annoyance in his eyes. "Do you think you are very smart and no one can compare to you?"
Gong Jiu said lightly: "No."
He is very smart, but he does not think that everyone is inferior to him. At least his brother's intelligence is not inferior to his.
As a biological father, he couldn't even tell his own sons apart. The wisdom of the King Taiping was far inferior to theirs.
"Why, you don't accept it?" Although the King Taiping couldn't tell the two children apart, he knew them well. He knew what Gong Jiu was thinking by his reaction. He stood up and paced back and forth for a few steps. "You are indeed smart. You play everyone in the palm of your hand. Even I, as a father, can only go with the flow. I have no other choice. But have you ever thought that I am your father!"
Gong Jiu was soft-hearted, especially knowing that these words were actually said to his brother. He felt indignant and his expression became more and more indifferent.
Prince Taiping sat back, looked at his son, who was standing tall like a pine tree, and softened his tone, "Father and son are close relatives. I treat you as a human being, love you and respect you, and don't want you to be wronged. Can't you also treat me as a human being? Why did you deceive me about such a big matter and make a decision for me without authorization?"
These words were questioning his brother, and how could they not be questioning him?
Gong Jiu's angry mood calmed down, and he still didn't look at Prince Taiping.
Seeing his guilty look, Prince Taiping realized that his words were a bit harsh. "You lost your mother when you were young. I was busy with military affairs and neglected to discipline you brothers. Outsiders say that you have a calm and upright temperament. As a father, how could I not know that? You and Lian'er have the same personality. You are both strong-willed children, but you are restricted to the home due to your physical condition."
Gong Jiu pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
"You have been managing the family business since you were seventeen, and you have never asked me for help. It is also my fault as a father. I have never cared about what you really want." After saying this, he sighed deeply.
Gong Jiu was extremely guilty of what he said, and so was he!
Not only did he not pay attention to his elder brother's inner thoughts, but he also caused so much trouble for his elder brother outside. This younger brother is even less competent.
