"His Majesty knows that my father is very knowledgeable, and I can write couplets, so I won't bully you into competing in poetry," Huarong said lightly.
Zhang Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that he would definitely lose, so he asked, "Then how should we compete?"
"Put your ear close to me," Huarong said mysteriously.
Zhang Xiaotian put his ear in front of Huarong. Huarong said softly, "The Prince Of Qi rebelled, but not all the officials in the southwest are in cahoots with him. The County Magistrate Zhang of Songyang County is innocent. Whoever saves his family wins."
"You're crazy!" Zhang Xiaotian said in disbelief. He knew that Gu Huarong was not an ordinary woman, but he didn't expect her to be so bold that she would even care about the Prince Of Qi's rebellion.
"If you don't dare, then forget it," Huarong said indifferently, "If you don't dare to accept, then you admit defeat."
"How do you know that he's innocent?" Zhang Xiaotian gritted his teeth.
"Because he's too poor. If he's in cahoots with the Prince Of Qi, would the Prince Of Qi let him stay in that kind of place?" Huarong was actually not sure, but she had a feeling that Gu Changheng would not leave Zhang Yingying alone. As a family, they would naturally advance and retreat together.
"This is too big. I can't answer you right away." Zhang Xiaotian was still rational.
Huarong nodded, "No problem, but I'll only wait for you for three days. If you don't answer in three days, I'll take it as your loss. You have to listen to me in the future."
"Good!" Zhang Xiao Tian said in a very imposing manner, then flicked his sleeves and left.
Zhang Xiaotian's men were not few in number. Once he left, the field became empty. Lin Heqing approached Huarong and asked, "Boss, why did you let him go?"
"Don't worry, it's not over yet. You're injured all over, so it's not a good time to fight. You should heal up first, and help me defeat Zhang Xiaotian." Huarong patted him on the shoulder and entrusted him with an important task.
Lin Heqing immediately nodded. "Don't worry, Boss. I'll go back and apply the medicine."
"Disperse."
Huarong returned to the Gu Mansion with a heavy heart. Zhang Yingying had already cleaned up. It had only been a few days since he last saw her, but she seemed to have gone through a lot.
As soon as she arrived at the Embracing Moon Pavilion, Huarong found that Gu Changheng was already waiting in her courtyard. When he saw her come in, he immediately poured tea for her. He was so attentive that it gave her goosebumps. "Brother Six, if you have something to say, just say it. If you don't, I'm going to sleep. I'm so sleepy."
She even gave a symbolic yawn after she finished speaking.
"Anin, that Zhang Yingying treats you well, right?" As expected, Gu Changheng started talking about Zhang Yingying.
Huarong looked like she knew everything. "Get to the point."
"She said that her father was wronged. She didn't know that the Prince Of Qi was going to rebel, so she begged us to save her father." Gu Changheng went straight to the point. He really didn't beat around the bush.
"Just because she said her father was innocent, does that mean he's innocent?" Huarong said unhappily. "What kind of bewitching potion did she give you that you would believe her just like that? Are you stupid? "
"He's indeed innocent. The Emperor was just venting his anger on his father. Many of the officials in the Southwest were also venting his anger on. They didn't know about the Prince Of Qi at all." Gu Changheng said with absolute certainty, which made Huarong curious.
Her eyes moved. She asked, "How do you know?"
"I just spent some money. The news is absolutely true. The Emperor is very angry this time. He said that the officials in the Southwest were unable to discover the Prince Of Qi's rebellion and couldn't stop Li Rong's army. He wants to behead all of them."
When Huarong heard that all of them would be beheaded, he leaned back to show his fear. "Brother Six, why do you have to anger the Emperor? Those officials in the Southwest have nothing to do with us. "
"During the days when I was arrested, Miss Zhang took good care of me. In fact, the people who were arrested knew whether County Magistrate Zhang was innocent or not. Their family was also trapped in the county yamen and couldn't take half a step out."
Huarong sighed. "Karma. You have to pay back what you owe. Alright, I'll think of a way for you."
"Anin, you're the best sister in the world." Gu Changheng immediately said in a serious tone.
Huarong was too lazy to pay attention to his mushy words. He rolled his eyes and said, "Get lost. I'm not helping you for free."
"Brother Six will work like a horse for you." Gu Changheng immediately expressed his attitude.
Huarong curled his lips. "With your submissive temperament, you want to work like a horse? Can you carry it with your shoulders? Can you carry it with your hands? "
"What submissive temperament? Why can't I carry it? Why can't I carry it? "Gu Changheng was unhappy. He clearly looked very manly!
Huarong snorted coldly to show his disdain. "Money is much more useful than you."
"Here." Gu Changheng immediately took out a sandalwood box and said straightforwardly, "Ten thousand taels. All of my private savings."
"How is this enough? Don't those officials have three hundred thousand taels to work for you? "Huarong facepalmed.
"Just you wait. Brother Six is going to sell his body right now."
"Get lost!" Huarong was furious. He picked up the cup on the table and threw it at Gu Changheng. Gu Changheng fled.
Escaping from the Moon Embracing Pavilion, one Jiu was worried and said disdainfully to his young master, "Young Master, can ten thousand taels do anything? Miss said no one will work without three hundred thousand taels. "
"When have you ever seen Anin use large amounts of money to do things?" Gu Changheng smiled coldly. "Just wait and see. I feel that this sister of mine isn't simple."
"But Young Master, no matter how capable Miss is, you can't cheat her." Blood was thicker than water!
"How can you say that?" Gu Changheng hit one Jiu's head hard. "Young Master, aren't I going to sell my body right now?"
As they spoke, Gu Changheng came to the study where Gu Weicong worked. He said carefully, "Second Uncle, Nephew wants to go with you on a business trip. I heard that the Department of Shipping is going to ship soon. How about letting Nephew go?"
"The sea is dangerous. Can you do it?" Gu Weicong was worried. "You are still young. Let your eldest brother go."
"Second Uncle, Eldest Brother is the eldest son and has a heavy responsibility. Nephew has been idle these years and feels that it is time to share the family's burdens. So, Second Uncle, please give me a chance." He said sincerely.
After much persuasion, he finally convinced Gu Weicong to let him go out to sea. When Huarong received the news, he stilled for a moment. It was very dangerous to go out to sea in this era. It was easy to lose one's life.
But at the same time, the profits were very good.
Huarong laughed softly. "Zhang Yingying?"
"Miss, what happened to Miss Zhang?" Shuxiu asked nervously.
Huarong did not answer the question. "Brother Six is a righteous person. If someone treats him well, he will return it ten times over. I was just joking that I wanted three hundred thousand taels and he went out to sea to make quick money. Really."
Shuxiu did not fully understand, but she agreed with Huarong's evaluation of Gu Changheng.
"Go find the steward."
Gu Zhong immediately put down what he was doing and came to Moon Embracing Pavilion. He bowed and said, "Miss, why is Miss looking for this one?"
"Let me see the orders of the officials," Huarong ordered.
The Emperor's words were like gold and jade. Jin Qiuli was accepted by the court and the other goods were bought by the civil and military officials. The orders had been delivered in the past few days and were waiting for the Gu Family to deliver.
Soon, Gu Zhong brought the orders over. Huarong looked at them one by one and picked out the last one. "I will personally deliver the goods from Zhenguo Mansion."
"Ah?" Gu Zhong thought that he had misheard.
