Chapter 287 He, Duke Wang, swears to stay by the young guy’s side until death!
Duke Wang was stopped where he was by the voice of Emperor Mingze, and thus lost the chance to escape.
The first to rush forward was General Lei Zhixin of Guide. He grabbed Duke Wang by the shoulder and said through gritted teeth, "Master Wang!"
Duke Wang: “…”
He seemed to have not figured out how to start the conversation. He panted for a long time with a sly expression, and finally managed to say in a stifling voice: "Master Wang, are you going to pee? I happen to be going too, shall we go together?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a big hand stretched out from behind and clasped the other shoulder of Lord Wang, saying softly: "You can't even have a fight, get out of the way!"
Lei Zhixin: “???”
Lei Zhixin snorted. Although he was not convinced, he had to admit that at this time it would be more appropriate to ask the civil servants who were good at swearing to come out.
He took a step to the side to make room for the Minister of Rites Chu Jiaxu.
"Master Wang, you are the oldest among us, so you must know a lot more than us. I have something to ask you," Chu Jiaxu said with a fake smile, "What is your understanding of the term 'ill-gotten wealth'?"
Duke Wang: “…”
Duke Wang: "Ah, this..."
Before he could comment on the word "Master Wang", Duke Wang met dozens of reproachful looks in a row while he glanced around with guilt.
The sound of the young man and Gu Ruizhou discussing where to open their first chain store could be clearly heard not far away. They did not dare to denounce Duke Wang here, and could only place their hopes on Lei Zhixin and Chu Jiaxu, hoping that the two of them could seek justice for them.
The sound of teeth grinding continued.
Pooh!
A disrespectful old man!
Return their hard-earned money!!
Thinking back to that year, after Prime Minister Gu "died in a sea of fire", although this group of people had different stances from the other party, they also spontaneously held a funeral ceremony for him because they admired his clean way of doing things as an official.
Since you are participating in the funeral, you have to give some gift money.
Since they claimed to be a group of clean people, they were definitely not as wealthy as others. In order to get the gift money, they gritted their teeth and took out all the private money they had saved for a long time!
Prime Minister Gu never married in his life and lived alone. The only person he could call a good friend was Duke Wang, with whom he could chat for a few words.
Naturally, the money was handed over to Duke Wang.
As for where all this money went -
Everyone's eyes were scanning the inn vaguely.
The decoration here is not luxurious, but the three-story building is very spacious. It doesn't look like it has a good business, but it has been operating till now...
It's obvious at first glance that he has a considerable fortune to back him up.
It's all theirs!!
This inn was opened with their money!!
Duke Wang broke out in a cold sweat under the accusatory gazes of the crowd.
He looked at his friend who was happily chatting with the young guy, and bitter tears kept welling up in his heart.
He just knows it!
From the moment he saw Gu Ruizhou, he knew that with someone like this kid who loved to watch the fun around, they could no longer hide their little shit!!
Lord Wang suddenly shouted, "Ah? Miss, you just called me?!"
Jiang Yingcheng, who had already discussed opening a second branch in Hongsong County, looked up blankly: "Huh?"
【Cheng Cheng doesn't have it? 】
Qingliu at the scene: "..."
You don't care about your face anymore?!
…
The group stayed at the "God of Cookery" inn.
Everyone present watched this spectacle with a blank face for the entire afternoon.
The young fellow followed Gu Ruizhou closely, and Lord Wang followed the young fellow closely.
None of the people present went back to their rooms to rest.
Duke Wang relied on his great desire to survive, while the ministers relied on their even greater desire for knowledge.
——They really wanted to know what kind of "shameless" things these two adult men in high positions could do!
Since they didn't leave, the group of people who couldn't hear the little guy's thoughts also stayed.
Except that all the plates on the table had been cleared away, there was not much difference here from when they had their meal.
Jiang Yingcheng glanced at Duke Wang again and again while talking to Gu Ruizhou, but Duke Wang pretended not to see anything.
——There are wolves surrounding him from behind, watching him intently. Only when he is with the little guy can he feel a little warmth from the human world.
It's impossible for him to leave. He will never leave in his life!
He, Duke Wang, will swear to stay by the young guy's side until death!
Duke Wang turned his head and smiled provocatively at his colleagues.
What are you looking at?!
The little guy is here, do you still dare to call out Gu Ruizhou's name? !
Then, he tiptoed honestly towards the little guy.
Full of security.
[Hmm... Grandpa Wang, are you afraid that Uncle Gu will tell everyone about their plan to commit suicide? ]
Jiang Yingcheng's heart was full of doubts, but he quickly rejected this idea.
[…But, if this matter were to be exposed, the consequences for Uncle Gu would be even more serious, right?]
That is a crime of deceiving the emperor!
——Jiang Yingcheng, who was also charged with deceiving the emperor, shuddered.
so……
[There must be something hidden here! ]
Jiang Yingcheng's eyes lit up: [Chengcheng needs to check this out!!]
The smile on Lord Wang's lips froze, and his eyes suddenly turned into fear!
No, no…
Wait a minute...
Isn't this how things should develop? ! !
Jiang Yingcheng didn't see the horrified look in her Grandpa Wang's eyes, and her gaze was directly on the translucent panel in front of her!
——After setting the keywords to the names of Gu Ruizhou and Wang Guogong, the information retrieved became much more accurate.
At this glance, she saw the news she wanted to know!
【Wow!!】
Duke Wang closed his eyes tightly as he heard this voice filled with obvious excitement, and his heart sank to the bottom.
Finished...
The image he has painstakingly built up over the years and the secrets he has hidden for many years are about to be revealed in front of everyone today!
[Ahahahahahahaha——]
Before expressing his conclusion in his inner voice, Jiang Yingcheng first burst into a "crazy" laugh.
[Hahahaha, this trick of Grandpa Wang is brilliant! ! ]
[Uncle Gu has been an honest man all his life, and he has used most of his salary to help the poor people. But if he wants to give up everything and start over, he will need a lot of money.]
Qingliu's eyes froze, and he realized what the young man was saying in his heart.
OK!
They want to hear how these two people came up with such a wicked idea!
[Grandpa Wang was afraid that spending such a large sum of money all at once would arouse suspicion, so he took the initiative to propose a solution! ]
[——Since he’s already dead, why not take advantage of the situation and make another profit!]
The young man's voice was so loud that it made Lord Wang dizzy.
He stood in front of the counter with his back to everyone. Without turning around, he could feel everyone's sharp gazes like blades.
The situation was already very difficult, but the little guy seemed to think it was not enough and wanted to bring him new hatred——
【Cheng Cheng has learned it! 】
She will do the same next time!!
Duke Wang: “…”
