Su Rui proposed it in public, and only asked for some materials to be franchised, and it was inconvenient for Xu Zhilan to talk about affecting the freedom of trade, so he nodded in approval.

After the main matters are decided, the two sides are ready to send subordinate officials to negotiate the specific details, and after the details are negotiated, the two sides will sign the agreement and it will be completed.

At the end of the meeting, Su Rui proposed to Xu Zhiyuan to go to Yangtao City to see where the location was suitable for franchising, so as to prepare early!

Xu Zhilan and Liu Cheng glanced at each other, he turned his head and said to Gonggong Guo: "This king hasn't been to Yangtao City for a long time, let's go to Yangtao City together." ”

Xu Zhiyuan glanced at Xu Zhilan with a smile, and said: "I have heard about the good management of King Yangtao for a long time, and this king also wants to go to Yangtao City to learn some experience, and strive to run Qingyun County well!" ”

In that case, let's go together.

Theoretically speaking, Yangtao City is Xu Zhilan's private property, and now it is only given to Jingyang State to operate, and today Xu Zhilan is back, and the City Lord's Mansion is of course used by Xu Zhilan.

Liu promised to live in the City Lord's Mansion all the time, and Xu Zhilan naturally would not ask him to leave, and the brothers stayed in the City Lord's Mansion to drink and chat, waiting for Xu Zhiyuan to play some tricks.

Su Rui and Xu Zhiyuan also understood that Xu Zhilan could guess what they wanted to do, so there was nothing to hide, and Su Rui went directly to ask the second prince Wang Invincible.

Straight to the point, Su Rui didn't talk nonsense, and said directly to Wang Wushu: "Second prince, King Qin knows about your Yangtao King, and Yangtao King also knows what King Qin wants to do, for now, King Yangtao needs King Qin, and King Qin also needs King Yangtao, and at the same time, King Qin and King Yangtao are guarding against each other!" ”

Wang Wudi nodded slightly, expressing his agreement with Su Rui's words, but he didn't want to listen to nonsense, and said, "Prime Minister Su Cheng has something to say, please say it directly!" ”

"Don't hide it from the second prince, General Sun, the general of Lingyun Pass, is the person of the king of Qin, and today the concession of some materials from the king of Qin to the king of Yangtao is just a reason, and the king of Qin can use this right to provide some prohibited items to the second prince to enhance the status of the second prince in Jingyang Kingdom."

The second prince stood up excitedly, if King Qin could provide him with things like iron ore, then his position in Jingyang Kingdom would be untouchable! But he knew that King Qin must have additional conditions, and he knew that he had gone too far, so he sat back in embarrassment and asked, "What does King Qin need this king to do?" ”

Su Rui said with certainty: "As long as the second prince hands over Luo Yuzhu to King Qin, King Qin is willing to provide any materials that the second prince wants!" ”

"Luo Yuzhu? Who is Luo Yuzhu? Wang Wuving's face was confused.

Su Rui was also a little stunned, he didn't expect such a big event, the second prince didn't know! After being stunned for two seconds, he added fuel and vinegar to say the guess that Xiao Jinfeng had an accident.

"It turned out that the eighth brother wanted to be a khan and murdered the eldest brother!" Wang Wushu stood up in shock, and after two seconds, he asked again: "Is Prime Minister Su sure that Luo Yuzhu is in the hands of my eighth brother?" ”

Su Rui shook his head and said, "When the eighth prince asked Luo Yuzhu to kill the eldest prince and wanted to kill Xiao Jinfeng together, Xiao Jinfeng fled to General Sun's mansion with his extraordinary martial arts. Afterwards, the eighth prince framed Xiao Jinfeng, making King Qin very passive...... It's useless to talk about this matter, since Xiao Jinfeng escaped, the eighth prince must know that the people on Dahua's side know the truth of the matter, and Luo Yuzhu, as the direct murderer, must have been hidden by the eighth prince, so this matter requires the second prince to think about it and ask Luo Yuzhu from the hands of the eighth prince. ”

Wang Wushu pondered for a few minutes and said, "Killing Brother Wang is such a big deal, Eighth Brother will definitely not admit it." If he is in a hurry, he may kill Luo Yuzhu, and this matter needs to be considered in the long run. ”

Transporting contraband such as iron ore to Jingyang Kingdom is a big crime for the enemy, of course Su Rui will not give Wang Wudi benefits before he sees Luo Yuzhu, he also knows that even if Wang Wushu asks for Luo Yuzhu from Liu Chengcheng, he will not hand it over to him immediately, he took the initiative to say: "As long as it is determined that Luo Yuzhu is in the hands of the second prince, King Qin will provide the required things to His Royal Highness the second prince!" ”

That being said, Su Rui didn't think that Wang Wushu would be able to take back Luo Yuzhu from Liu Chengcheng.

Now that Yangtao City is full of Liu Cheng's eyeliner, he soon knew about Su Rui's request to see the second prince. Now that the eldest prince and Xiao Jinfeng are dead, and Luo Yuzhu has run away, Liu Cheng has nothing to worry about, but the necessary precautions still need to be done.

When the time came to February 13, the two sides signed the final agreement, Guo Gonggong knew that Xu Zhilan had seriously suspected that he was involved in the murder of Xi'er'er, during this time he was honest, when he was fine, he consciously stayed away from Xu Zhilan, and tried not to get bored with Xu Zhilan. Now that the agreement has been signed, as a close minister sent by the emperor to assist Xu Zhilan, Guo Gonggong has to persuade Xu Zhilan to return to Jinling as soon as possible.

Xu Zhilan has a lot of things to do, he has to stay in Yangtao City for a few more days, hesitated for a while, he felt that it was time to explain Xiang'er's matter, but so many things have happened recently, he believes that the treacherous and slippery Guo Gonggong should be able to guess a lot of things, so he said to Guo Gonggong: "On the night of the Lantern Festival, the King of Qin framed the king in public, and when the king was fleeing for his life, the king of Qin sent the Xiao brothers to intercept and kill the king halfway!" The king was very angry, and he didn't make a move, but thought that he was the queen of orchids, and told the Xiao brothers about Luo Yumei. ”

Guo Gonggong roughly guessed that this might be the case through various signs, although he didn't guess that Xu Zhilan said it himself, but the result was the same, so he was not surprised, just listened quietly.

"According to the king's plan, Xiang'er should go to Yangtao City first and lay a trap to destroy the King of Qin. Who knew that King Qin was eager to seize the throne, and sent Xiao Jinfeng to arrive in Yangtao City before Xiang'er, and Xiao Jinfeng met the eldest prince when he asked to see Liu Cheng in the city lord's mansion...... By mistake, Luo Yuzhu killed the eldest prince and fled to the Western Regions. ”

"The King of Qin is friendly with King Gui of the Western Regions, if the King of Qin knows that Luo Yuzhu has gone to the Western Regions, I'm afraid it will be ......," Gonggong Guo expressed his worries.

"Su Rui secretly asked to see the second prince on the day of the negotiation, and he didn't know what benefits he promised? Based on the time when King Qin came to Lingyun Pass and the time when Xiao Jinfeng was captured by General Sun, this king speculated that King Qin and General Sun had a good relationship. ”

Gonggong Guo suddenly understood, and said: "His Royal Highness Yangtao suspects that the King of Qin will unite with General Sun to send contraband to the Jingyang Kingdom in exchange for the second prince to deal with the eighth prince?" His Royal Highness Yang Tao stays here, does he want to get dirty? What do you need a minion to do? ”

Shaking his head, Xu Zhilan said: "Now, this king and the king of Qin are also enemies and friends, on the surface, this king and Guo Gonggong are enemies!" ”

Guo Gonggong thought for a while and became clear about the delicate relationship between Xu Zhilan and Xu Zhiyuan, and he said, "Then Your Highness is looking for something to let the servants leave for a while?" ”

"This king has thirty percent of the income in Yangtao City, and Guo Gonggong has nothing to do with it, and he goes to the various trade areas of Yangtao City every day to walk around, don't stay in the city lord's mansion all the time. When you see good rare furs and other things, buy some appropriately. Prepare a few large boxes, so that others will suspect that the king will use these large boxes to carry a few people back to Jinling. ”
