Chapter 530 532. Too Heavy
Tuzhong glared at the cell opposite with a bad temper, "How would I know anything? We just need to follow orders. Do you want to continue like this?"
The usually quiet prison was in an uproar. Several prison bosses standing at the prison door couldn't help but frown when they heard the shouting inside.
These people have become much more obedient after being disciplined by them. What are they making trouble for now?
"It sounds like they want to see an adult." Although the language of these people sounded awkward, I could still vaguely understand it.
"Oh, as expected, Lord Gu has figured it out. These people lost their patience first." One of the older jailers said with admiration, "Let's just report the situation here and ignore them for now."
"But they are so noisy..."
"So what? I think they are just too full. If we skip two meals, they will behave themselves."
"..." What he said was really not wrong at all. After these people robbed the people's food, they saw that the people they saw lived even worse than them. Sometimes they even had to rely on water to fill their stomachs.
"Are we still delivering water in there?" The prison boss who had delivered the meal before was carrying a bucket of water and smiled awkwardly at the seniors in front of him.
"This water seems a bit heavy," one of the men took the bucket from his hand and weighed it, and most of the water spilled out in an instant.
The other person took it over, and spilled more than half of the water again. "I see you didn't eat today? Just one bucket of water looks like you've exhausted yourself."
After a round of rotation, the water returns to the first person's hands, with only a shallow layer of water left at the bottom of the bucket.
The older prison boss stroked his beard and said, "It's indeed a bit heavy. Don't carry it alone. Find someone to help you carry it."
…After a moment of silence, laughter suddenly broke out outside the cell.
They were puzzled when they heard this. They were causing trouble here, so shouldn't these people be anxious? Why did they seem happy when they heard this?
…
When Gu Wenheng heard the report from the prison boss, he just smiled and told them to continue doing their own things.
"Sir, do you really want to leave them alone for a few more days?" He Gaofei and the others naturally knew that Gu Wenheng was waiting for this day.
Now that the other party has bowed his head first, he doesn't understand why he should waste time here.
Gu Wenheng, "Don't worry, they are the ones who should be anxious now."
He Gaofei, "But if time goes on and Dongyi elects a new Prince Zuo, then we will have less bargaining chips."
Gu Wenheng knew that He Gaofei and the other three were trying to get closer to him, so he was willing to explain a few more words to them, "As long as people are alive, there are infinite possibilities.
Prince Zuo Tengshang has been in this position for so long that he has his own team under him.
As long as I can get back alive, I will have a chance to fight.
But this is not good news for us. These Dongyi people are cunning and despicable by nature. Once they have quelled the internal strife, they will definitely turn around and attack us.”
"Then we can't let the tiger go back to the mountain." Lu Shenggen immediately stood up and said, "They are destined to be enemies anyway, so why not find another piece of wasteland and let them atone for their sins? This is the best way for us to deal with it."
"Hehe, Lord Lu, it's easy to say. If we really send this prince to open up wasteland and cultivate the land, I'm afraid when those censors in the court react, we will be in big trouble." Wu Yichen had suffered in this regard, so he immediately jumped out to object.
Gu Wenheng, "What you all said makes sense, but I have my own reasons for dragging them along.
If we release Prince Zuo Tengshang early, he will quickly stabilize Dongyi with the help of his old subordinates, which is not what we want to see."
He Gaofei understood immediately, "Master Gu meant to let Prince Xinzuo secure his position, and then send the people back to let them fight to the death."
"This is a good idea. Lord Gu is far-sighted and I admire him." The more Lu Shenggen got along with Gu Wenheng, the more he admired him. These flattering words came out of his mouth immediately.
Gu Wenheng smiled and said, "It's not that I'm far-sighted, I just put myself in other people's shoes and think about the problem from different angles. What would you do if you were the new Prince Zuo?"
For some reason, He Gaofei and the other two thought of Xiao Yulin and the others at the same time. It seemed that they were squeezed into their current positions in the same way.
He Gaofei, "But Dongyi also has a ruler. If the new Prince Zuo is recognized by their ruler, will Teng Shang still be able to accomplish his mission when he returns?"
Gu Wenheng, "So we have to put things on hold and let the new Prince Zuo take his place firmly.
Teng Shang will have to be cautious and will want to find help."
"But he is a Prince Zuo who is no longer on the throne. Who will help him?"
Gu Wenheng smiled and pointed at the table, "I believe that in our country, there are people who are eager to go to Dongyi to see its true appearance."
He Gaofei, "..." You are really a little fox. I thought you just wanted to cause chaos among the Dongyi people, but I didn't expect that you were going for a bigger plan.
Lu Shenggen, "..." As expected, the prefect is a man of foresight!
Wu Yichen: "..." I'm getting old, and can hardly keep up with the thinking of the new generation, but I just feel so comfortable.
At this moment, Prince Zuo in the cell shuddered inexplicably and looked at the wine jug in his hand. Could it be that even this strong liquor could not dispel the coldness of this gloomy cell?

Jin Qianqian looked at the letter in her hand and sneered.
My mood this morning was completely ruined by this letter. I threw the letter on the table and said, "You really think I'm easy to bully."
Lichun and the others were all worried. After serving the Madam for such a long time, this was the first time they saw her lose her temper so badly.
If you suddenly feel unwell tomorrow night, Nanny Ou can still help you out.
But now, Nanny Ou was far away in Beijing, and they really didn’t know how to start the conversation. They could only serve in fear and trepidation.
As soon as Gu Wenheng came in, he noticed that the atmosphere was not right. "What happened? Who made you angry?"
As he said this, he waved his hand and asked Lichun and the others to go down.
After everyone had left, Jin Qianqian glanced at the letter on the table and said, "Take a look for yourself."
Gu Wenheng picked up the letter and scanned it, his face immediately darkening.
"These people are really good at judging things, and their letters are full of grievances and helplessness.
Knowing that I am a victim, you are still asking me to take a step back throughout this article. "
The letter in Gu Wenheng's hand fell onto the table again, "It seems that the Huang Mansion in Shangjing has taken action. It is also expected that the Nan prefect of Lecheng would make such a choice.
But he has made his choice, and we just need to know it."
"I can understand all of this. After all, a higher-ranking official can crush a person. I don't blame Prefect Nan for doing this. But look at what's written in this letter. Do I have to apologize?"
