Chapter 208: Wooing
Wei Lingmiao had heard of the Ten Princes of Jinpeng Fort for a long time, the last time he came to Biyu City, Shangguan Ru was only a teenager, he was not interested, this time he revisited his hometown, he heard more rumors of the Ten Princes, unlike others, he was not concerned about who could be the king of Dubu, but imagined what kind of different girl Lian Pian, the fourteen-year-old overlord of Nancheng, would be.
"It's fine. Gu Shenwei's tone was a little cold, he had thought about how to talk about money, and he was not prepared to talk about the tenth son.
The corners of Wei Lingmiao's mouth turned up, revealing a smile, which was soft and flamboyant, causing the boat girl to keep looking back.
"I once saw your master, at the wedding banquet of the eighth young master, she was wearing a boy's clothes, running around, I had to see what the bride looked like, I also wanted to see it, so the two of us cooperated to lift the corner of the hijab in front of the eighth young master, but it still failed, who would have thought that the eighth young grandmother was still wearing a thick veil under the hijab? haha. ”
Wei Lingmiao actually knew Shangguan Ru, but Gu Shenwei didn't expect it, "The Eighth Young Master is not very happy." ”
"Who knows, the eighth young master was busy making friends with the big people in the Western Regions at the time, but he didn't notice the two of us troublemakers, and the eighth young grandmother probably didn't know who we were, alas, it's funny to think about. ”
Gu Shenwei was so angry that he almost exploded, Shangguan was angry and had only been a month away from the Gu family's annihilation, the Wei family must have heard of this tragedy, and Wei Lingmiao was still in the mood to tease other people's brides.
"Grandma Eight is still wearing a veil. Gu Shenwei didn't know what to say, so he said casually.
"I guess her good words are exaggerated, otherwise how could the eighth young master rather stay in the desert than go home? ”
There was obvious obscenity in these words, Gu Shenwei shut up and didn't answer, he didn't feel that Shangguan Ru had changed anything, except that he was a little taller, and his appearance seemed to be the same as when he was a child.
Wei Lingmiao smiled again, and picked up the jar and poured wine by herself, "You are a loyal killer. ”
"Killers are loyal. After saying this, Gu Shen also felt hypocritical for himself, not long ago, the few of them were still discussing how to kill the twins with a knife.
Wei Lingmiao shook her head, noncommittal, the topic still did not leave Shangguan Ru, "I saw the Ninth Young Master just now, they are twins, and the Tenth Prince looks different from him now." ”
"It's not quite the same. ”
Wei Lingmiao breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "That's good." ”
A few more small boats approached, and the princes in the banquet hall found that the distinguished guests were missing, and had already chased after them.
"Little Miao'er, why did you leave us alone and run away? Meng Mingshi and Wei Lingmiao hit it off at first sight, and they had already learned to call him his nickname like his brother.
"If you want to talk about tears, this lake of your Meng family is made of women's tears. ”
"Women's tears? That's a good idea, I'll get a whip and make the lake grow a few feet. ”
"Old Five, I thought you were a lover, dying for a female killer, I also said that the Meng family has five sons, and women should be blessed, I didn't expect you to be so ruthless. ”
Meng Mingshi shouted at Shangguan Fei on the other boat, "Ninth Young Master, haven't you seen it yet? Xiao Miao'er is interested in your killer, hurry up and give it to him." ”
Long before Wei Lingmiao arrived, Gu Shenwei was observing the expressions of the two enemies, and it could only be said that Meng Mingshi had either really forgotten about Yu Gongzi, or he was more mature than before, and he didn't even show a trace of hatred, and Shangguan Fei was still as affectionate as before.
Shangguan Fei was afraid of water, grabbed the boat with both hands, calmed his face, and snorted, "What's so good about a killer, his body is full of scars, and he hurts his hands when he touches it." ”
There was silence all around, and no one could understand whether the Nine Young Masters' words were joking or sarcastic, until Wei Lingmiao laughed out loud, and the others laughed along, and the atmosphere eased again.
In the early hours of the morning, the fun in the Bodhi Garden came to an end, and Gu Shenwei didn't know which woman or women Wei Lingmiao chose to sleep in the end, so he left with Shangguan Fei a little earlier.
"What is he looking for you for?" As soon as he returned to his mansion, Shangguan Fei dismissed the other slaves and questioned Huan Nu.
"Let's talk casually, before you say anything, you're here. ”
Shangguan Fei looked at Huan Nu in disbelief, the two of them had their own handles in each other's hands, and they were afraid of each other, "You are a killer, just play duplicity in Shibao, colluding with outsiders, but it is a capital crime." ”
"I've always been loyal to Jinpeng Castle, and I guess Wei Gongzi wants that 'peace charm'. ”
Shangguan Fei didn't ask anymore, the one million taels of silver was originally a mountain that was pressing on him, and it was finally transferred, and he didn't want to get on it again.
The banquet for Wei Gongzi was held for three consecutive days, and the content was similar, Wei Lingmiao didn't seem to be very interested in money, and always looked for an opportunity to ask Gu Shenwei about the ten princes, and Gu Shenwei dealt with it hastily.
Wei Lingmiao probably decided that Huan Nu was the only way to get close to Shangguan Ru, and he didn't think much of the killer's coldness, but blindly showed goodwill, and this kind of overture reached the extreme on the last day of the Bodhi Garden.
Wei Gongzi, who had been playing for three days, finally wanted to do something serious, and Zhong Heng, the captain of the city patrol, came out and invited the nine young masters to discuss the secret matter, Shangguan Fei naturally understood what the "secret matter" meant, so he calmly admitted that the Qiu Society had been merged into the Kun Society, and everything was decided by the tenth prince, if he had to find someone to talk to, the killer Yang Huan was also a more suitable candidate.
In this way, in a study room in the Bodhi Garden, Gu Shenwei faced Wei Lingmiao and Zhong Heng alone.
Zhong Heng was rarely straightforward, "Hall Master Yang, the day after tomorrow is the right day, and the ten princes are all ready." ”
Gu Shenwei shook his head, "No, the day after tomorrow, I have to wait another month." ”
Zhong Heng is not a person who is easily provoked, the smile on his face remains unchanged, and he glanced at Wei Lingmiao, the merry boy who looked like he didn't care about himself, checking the books on the shelves that no one had ever read, and didn't say a word.
Zhong Heng also shook his head, "Hall Master Yang, that's not what we said. ”
Gu Shenwei's purpose was to challenge the bottom line of the city governor, "Well, that's not what I said, but when things come to this point, I can't help it, the money is not enough, and no one can conjure it up." ”
Zhong Heng's smile was about to be hung up, he had dealt with the young killer a few times, and he also accepted the other party's case money on a monthly basis, he always felt that Yang Huan was a malleable talent, but he didn't expect him to be so ignorant of the rules of officialdom, "If there is a difficulty on the side of the tenth prince, there is no way to do it, but you can ask Shibao for help." ”
This was a threat, Gu Shenwei pretended not to understand, "The tenth prince will not ask anyone for help." Either wait a month, or reduce the quota, there is no other way. ”
"Is this what the tenth prince means?" Zhong Heng was surprised, and there was a faint anger in his heart, in front of Wei Gongzi, Yang Huan was making him unable to get off the stage.
That's what she meant. Gu Shenwei said with certainty, in fact, Shangguan Ru didn't care about this matter at all, she gave it to Huan Nu and let him deal with it himself.
The atmosphere became stiff all of a sudden, Gu Shenwei's plan was to use this method to provoke the city governor, and then observe Shibao's reaction, and find out the channel of connection between the two, he wanted to know how much influence the obscure city governor had, and Wei Song turned a blind eye to the destruction of his in-laws' family back then, was there a last resort, or was there another inside story.
Jinpeng Fort is a killer organization, and in the Gu family's tragedy, the role that has been missing is the employer, and once Gu Shenwei remembered the relationship between Wei Song, the overseer, and his family, he felt that this was a clue.
Wei Lingmiao, who was outside the divine object, suddenly turned around, "It's not impossible to wait for a month. ”
Although the bribe of the "Childe ......" could not fall into the hands of Zhong Heng, he was responsible to the city governor and could not afford to be charged with being soft at will.
Wei Lingmiao waved her hand, indicating that she knew what she was doing, "But there are some conditions." ”
"What conditions?" Gu Shenwei's tone became even colder.
Wei Lingmiao coughed, and Zhong Heng immediately retreated.
"You ought to know my mind. ”
Gu Shenwei knew, but he didn't want to help, "I'm just a killer, I don't know anything else except killing." ”
Wei Lingmiao smiled, he was not easily provoked than Zhong Heng, "Okay, kill someone for me, that money can be postponed for a month." ”
"Who is it?" Gu Shenwei said casually, he didn't expect that Wei Gongzi would really ask to kill someone.
"I haven't thought about it yet, let me think about it, and I'll tell you in two days, it's easy for you to kill people anyway, right?"
"Ready to call at any time. Gu Shenwei nodded slightly, wishing that he had a knife in his hand, pressed against Wei Gongzi's chest, and forced him to ask for all the truth.
Gu Shenwei returned to Nancheng, and Xu Yanwei stayed in Bodhi Garden, she seemed to have the possibility of catching Wei Gongzi, but the next scramble was still very difficult, there were too many prostitutes left, and no one dared to say that she was alone.
At the gate of Kunshe, Gu Shenwei saw a carriage and several slaves moving things to the courtyard, all of which were gifts neatly wrapped in silk silk.
Shangguan Ru, accompanied by the lotus girl, was practicing writing in the study, when he saw Huan Nu coming in, he asked, "What's the matter?" That Wei Lingmiao sent someone to deliver things every day, didn't he come to ask for money, why was he generous?"
"He's in love with the Tenth Prince. Gu Shenwei is very straightforward.
Shangguan Ru's face changed, and the lotus girl retreated to the wall, she had the ability to make herself become as if she didn't exist.
"Bold and shameless guy, aren't the women in the entire Biyu City enough for him to enjoy?"
Shangguan Ru's reaction was expected by Gu Shenwei, and then an idea suddenly popped into his mind, "Wei Gongzi will not give up easily." ”
Shangguan Ru's will as a killer may have collapsed, but this does not mean that she has become a weak and bullying little woman, "Really? ”
"He is the son of the Overseer. ”
"So what? I don't even want to hand over any 'peace charms', so I should teach the father and son a lesson. ”
It is true that a lesson should be given, Gu Shenwei thought to himself, the key is to what extent the lesson is learned.
