Crown Prince Manor.
"Heart-killing Theory!"
"Heart-killing Theory!"
"There is no gentleman in my eyes!"
Zhu Gaochi pointed at the King of Han with a red face.
Zhu Gaoxu said innocently,"Who is the villain and who is the gentleman?"”
"You! I'm talking about you!"
Zhu Gaochi pointed at the Han King's nose and said angrily,""The few of you are fighting outside, leaving me to guard the capital alone. I'm so tired.”
"You didn't get any credit, and you even slandered me for causing trouble. Who would put sh * t on their own head?”
Zhu Gaoxu shook his head, stood up, and sighed with his hands behind his back."Big brother, you can't say that."
"As soon as we returned, we were assassinated by the survivors of the Jingnan Battle.”
"Why didn't you investigate the number one case in this world?”
Zhu Gaochi said anxiously,"Eh, no, I…"
" What are you trying to do?!"
Zhu Gaoxu looked at the Crown Prince meaningfully and said in surprise,""I understand now! Is it because you have the heart to keep a sense of propriety for those remnants?”
Zhu Gaochi said angrily,"Second Brother, you can't say such things. What limits do I have?"”
"Song Gaozong killed Yue Fei before. Didn't his grandson wait until he was dead before the verdict was overturned?" Zhu Gaoxu sneered.”
"Wait until a hundred years later, when you become the emperor, you can do whatever you want!”
"Leaving behind a sense of propriety now and implementing benevolent policies in the future is also a good move!”
Zhu Gaochi was so anxious that he stuttered,"Lao, Lao Er, I…"
"You can't say that!"
At this moment, Zhu Zhanji walked in.
He had heard the argument between the two of them just now.
Hearing that the King of Han was going to push sh * t on his father, Zhu Zhanji sneered in his heart and said indifferently,
"Second Uncle, the Northern Garrison and the Embroidered Uniform Guards are under Third Uncle's control, and half of the army is under your command.”
"Why did Grandpa come back from the south gate instead of the north gate or the east gate?”
Zhu Gaoxu stared at him and said,"Kid, do you mean that I arranged this?"”
"No, no, no!"
Zhu Zhanji quickly waved his hand and chuckled."How would I dare to blame Second Uncle?"
"What I mean is that the outcome of this matter has not yet been determined. It's useless to suspect anyone now.”
"Humph." Zhu Gaoxu's expression eased slightly, but his expression was clearly not as domineering as before.
Zhu Gaochi was tired from standing for a long time. Zhu Zhanji quickly helped him sit down and turned to pour a cup of tea for his fat father and the King of Han.
Halfway through the tea, Zhu Zhanji smiled and said,""Second Uncle, I know that Grandpa sent you to do this and you're tired.”
"But don't worry. Grandpa has already asked Third Uncle and Fourth Uncle to investigate. We'll try our best to help you.”
What he meant was, Second Uncle, you have to be careful if you want to splash dirty water again.
Zhu Gaoxu put down the teacup that was brought to his mouth, and his face gradually sank.
He secretly thought to himself that his eldest nephew was really scheming!
Half of the reason why the boss position was so stable was because of this kid.
However, Zhu Gaoxu was stunned again and asked,""Wait, did you just say that Old Master asked Fourth to investigate too?”
At the mention of this matter, Zhu Zhanji felt his heart ache.
His waist token!
Originally, he had hoped to use this waist token to find the real murderer and help his father clear his name.
But now, the waist token had been snatched away by Little Uncle, and the father and son were in a passive position again.
Although his heart was aching, Zhu Zhanji still looked calm on the surface."Yes, Fourth Uncle has already brought people to investigate. I heard that he went to a…What was it called…Sun's Antique Store "
Boom!
Zhu Gaoxu buzzed.
His heart was beating like a tractor.
Sun's Antique Store!
Wasn't that where he had arranged for those people to hide?
"Second Uncle, you don't look good. Is the tea not to your liking?”Zhu Zhanji was puzzled.
"No, no..."
Zhu Gaoxu quickly waved his hand, then got up uneasily and walked straight out of the door." Boss, I have something to do. I'll go back first. I'll come back another day!"”
The father and son were dumbfounded.
Why did this second brother inexplicably admit defeat?
...
Prince Liang's residence.
When Zhu Gaoyan returned, it was already late.
Zhu Gaoyan ordered the servant girls to warm the bed and went to the courtyard to brush his teeth and wash up.
Squeezing the homemade mint toothpaste, Zhu Gaoyan started using a small brush.
At this moment, a smiling voice came from behind him."Fourth Bro, what are you busy with?”
"Second brother?"
Zhu Gaoyan turned around and saw the Han King standing behind him. He frowned and pinched his nose."Second Brother, how long has it been since you brushed your teeth? Your mouth stinks!”
Zhu Gaoxu's face darkened.
He thought to himself,'You little bastard, are you taking the time to scold me?'
Zhu Gaoxu took a step forward and chuckled,""Fourth Brother, I heard that Old Master also asked you to investigate this case?”
"Yes, yes, that's right!"
Zhu Gaoyan blinked his big eyes and nodded.
Zhu Gaoxu slapped his thigh." Aiyo! I say, what is this old man thinking? Isn't this nonsense?”
"If those rats hurt you, won't Second Brother's heart ache to death?”
"Fourth Brother, listen to Second Brother. Those orphans of Jingnan are crazy. They're always thinking of taking revenge on us.”
"Don't interfere in this matter in the future. Just let Second Brother investigate. Be good, ah."
Zhu Gaoyan immediately shook his head like a rattle-drum." No way! I'm now the imperial envoy that the Emperor has bestowed a waist token to. I'm the most powerful person in the entire capital!”
Zhu Gaoyan patted his chest and said in high spirits.
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned." What? What? Imperial token? Did the old man give you the waist token?"
"That's right! I carry it with me!"
Zhu Gaoyan touched his pockets, frowned, and said in annoyance,""Eh? It's gone. Where did I put it? He seemed to have thrown it into the flower bed when he was fishing today.”
"Throw the flower bed!"
Zhu Gaoxu's mouth twitched.
F * ck, that was the waist token that the old master had given him. Back then, he had begged the old master many times, but the old master had never agreed.
You threw it away!
Which flower bed? Second Brother can go and pick it up!
Zhu Gaoxu looked up at the sky and sighed, lamenting the injustice of fate.
However, he did not forget the purpose of this trip. He asked,"Did you find anything today?”
Zhu Gaoyan looked into Zhu Gaoxu's eyes and said seriously,""Of course, and it's a big discovery!”
Zhu Gaoxu's hair stood on end.
Could it be that this kid has discovered that I'm the mastermind behind this?
"What discovery?" Zhu Gaoxu probed.”
Zhu Gaoyan spread his hands and said matter-of-factly,""Then how can I tell you?"
"Second Brother, we're in a competitive relationship now. If you want to take the credit, go and check it out yourself.”
Zhu Gaoxu put his arm around Zhu Gaoyan's shoulder and smiled,""What credit? Second Brother didn't mean that, Second Brother."
"Hey, hey! Don't try to get close to me."
Zhu Gaoyan nimbly slipped out from under the Han King's arm and snorted,""I went through a lot of trouble to find out this information. If you want to take advantage of me for free, there's no way! Unless…"
"Unless what?"
"Unless…You pay more."
Zhu Gaoyan rubbed his hands together, his small eyes curved like gold ingots.
Zhu Gaoxu laughed." I thought it was something. Your second brother has plenty of money."
"Second Brother hasn't brought you a gift this time. Here, take these and buy some candied haws.”
As he said that, he took out a small bag of golden beans and was about to grab a handful for Zhu Gaoyan, but Zhu Gaoyan was a step ahead of him. He grabbed the whole bag of golden beans and held it in his arms. He exclaimed exaggeratedly,"Second Brother, you're too generous!"
"Eh, no, this…"
"I know they're all for me," Zhu Gaoyan said emotionally. Second Brother, you're too kind. You're a hundred times better than that stingy boss.”
After saying that, she happily counted the beans.
"I…"
The corner of Zhu Gaoxu's mouth twitched. These were all solid gold beans, usually used to bribe palace maids and eunuchs.
Originally, he only wanted to give Zhu Gaoyan a small one, but he didn't expect Zhu Gaoyan to snatch it.
Even a tycoon like him would feel the pain!
Zhu Gaoxu squatted down in exhaustion and looked at Zhu Gaoyan who was counting the gold beans. He said helplessly,""Fourth brother, your second brother has given you all his assets. Can you tell me now?”
"Of course! I keep my word. Good things should be shared with second brother.”Zhu Gaoyan said generously.
Zhu Gaoxu:
Zhu Gaoyan put away the golden beans and looked around cautiously. After making sure that there was no one around, he leaned close to the King of Han and whispered," Second Brother."
Dong dong dong!
Zhu Gaoxu could clearly feel his heart beating faster.
Did this kid really find some clues?
Zhu Gaoyan whispered into his ear,""Second Brother, I found a chick. She's super hot! That waist, those legs, that small appearance, tsk tsk, it was needless to say how beautiful she was.”
What?
Zhu Gaoxu was in a mess in the wind.
So the shocking secret you mentioned was the discovery of a woman!？
Zhu Gaoxu was anxious." Old Fourth, are you kidding me?”
" Why would I tease you?" Zhu Gaoyan said seriously." Oh, right. Don't tell anyone else. I didn't tell anyone about this except you."”
"I plan to ask her to come back and be your sister-in-law. When it's done, I'll treat you to a wedding banquet.”
Zhu Gaoxu,"@%:)#!!"!”
F * ck!
My golden beans!
I've already given you a big bag, and in the end, you're talking about such an insignificant matter!？
Zhu Gaoxu wanted to hit someone!
Looking at Zhu Gaoxu who was gradually changing shape, Zhu Gaoyan chuckled and turned to run into the house.
"Second Brother, I'm going to rest. I won't play with you anymore. Come back another day!”
"Little thief!" Zhu Gaoxu was fuming with anger, but the clever Zhu Gaoyan had already slipped into the house and slammed the door shut. He did not forget to stab him in the back.
"Second Brother, your mouth stinks. Go back and brush your teeth. Here's some toothpaste for you.”
Zhu Gaoxu gritted his teeth.”He glanced at the small wooden box on the stone table and turned to leave. However, he stopped after taking two steps and returned to his arms.
It would be a waste not to take it!
......
Inside the house.
As soon as Zhu Gaoyan entered the room, he poured the bag of golden beans onto the table.
There were fifty of them.
"Not bad, a tube of toothpaste for fifty golden beans. Good business!”Zhu Gaoyan grinned.
Although he wasn't short of money, the money he picked up for free was definitely better.
"Wangye, the bed is warm."
At this moment, two beautiful maidservants walked over shyly.
Zhu Gaoyan nodded.”
He casually picked up a few golden beans and placed them in their hands. When he stopped, he didn't forget to take advantage of them.
The two maidservants seemed to be used to it, and they smiled and replied,"Yes", and then closed the door.
The breeze blew, and the candlelight was faint. The room was quiet and peaceful.
Zhu Gaoyan lay on the warm and comfortable bed alone and snapped his fingers with his left hand.
Swoosh!
The candlelight flickered, and a graceful figure suddenly descended from the pillar.
He waited respectfully in front of the bed.
It was the Heaven-tier assassin of the Network, Startling Salamander.
"Master, the identity of the assassin has been found.”
"The woman is the daughter of Jing Qing, an old minister of Jianwen. She was saved by Sun Zhong during the Jingnan period and changed her name to Sun Ruowei.”
"On the day of the assassination, it was the people from the Han Imperial Residence who secretly opened the city gates and let the person in.”
"Currently, there are still twenty-five assassins left in the city, and we have learned their hiding places.”
"In addition, the Green Dragon of the Embroidered Uniform Guard returned after you finished investigating the antique shop.”
"Grand Sun Zhu Zhanji went to Jiming Temple."
Startling Salamander reported.
Zhu Gaoyan yawned and crossed his hands behind his head. He said lightly,""Third brother is indeed a spy, your nose is really sharp.”
"Second Brother, this fellow, he even came to test me just now. He really can't hold back.”
" Everyone has moved. Only the boss is sitting still. The crown prince really has the demeanor of a crown prince."
"Let's go down and continue exploring."
"Yes!" Startling Salamander cupped his hands.
His figure flashed and disappeared into the night.
