Chapter 84
Originally, Lu Xiao and Zhou Guan just thought that Qian Gu was just a puppet and scapegoat that Dongchang found casually, just to help him complete his task, and they were not an important figure. Dongchang must throw him out to scapegoat.
That's why Zhou Guan worked so hard to force Qian Gu, a little man, to use Qian Gu, to pave the way for his official career and make him the stepping stone for the princess to see him, and to not offend Dongchang too much.
Lu Xiao also thought so. Princess Zhu Jinxuan was still above the Kiln Town. He really didn't have the courage to start the battle with Dongchang directly. He could only use Zhou Guan's hands to get rid of a Dongchang dog to disgust and warn Dongchang.
But what they could not have expected was that Qian Gu's identity was not that simple.
Although Tianji Pavilion is indeed in the East Factory, Tianji Pavilion has not been very strict in controlling the people below. Qian Gu has no longer cared about the consequences when his life is already threatened. Anyway, they are all dead, so why not take more custody before death?
As a member of the Tianji Pavilion, the world's forces, Qian Gu obviously has the same bloodiness.
At first, Jia Teng thought that the Jinyiwei should not dare to go too far when Princess Zhu Jinxuan was still there, so he chose to forbear the moment. At the same time, it was also because of the projection effect that he judged others by himself. He believed that Qian Gu, like him, should not dare to reveal such an amazing secret, even if he was punished or even died.
It was not until Qian Gu's terrifying and fierce eyes swept over him that he finally realized that he had made a mistake. Qian Gu, who was not from the East Factory or the Jinyiwei, seemed to have not had the same "consciousness" as him.
He finally panicked.
Therefore, he almost forcibly prevented Zhou Guan from continuing to trial the case, destroyed Zhou Guan's carefully prepared drama, and made him very angry.
But immediately, Zhou Guan's anger turned into glory.
If Jaten did not lie, no, at this time, Jaten would not dare to lie, which means that he would almost become the indirect person responsible for letting the princess’ identity be leaked in public.
"You mean, he is from Tianji Pavilion?"
Compared to feeling that he had been shaking around the gate of hell and almost caused a big disaster, Zhou Guan, who was extremely lucky, Lu Xiao was very annoyed.
The people from Tianji Pavilion were swaying under his nose for a year, and if Jaten hadn't said it today, they would have kept swaying like this.
This also shows that all my actions and all the secrets involved were seen by the people of Tianji Pavilion and recorded them on paper. As long as someone gives the price that satisfies Tianji Pavilion, these are not secrets.
How could Lu Xiao not be angry? He felt that in the eyes of those people in Tianji Pavilion, he and his Jinyiwei were like clowns on the stage. The so-called confidentiality action was just to make people laugh, and they also felt good about themselves.
"If you want to kill them, I'm happy to show your Jinyiwei the way." Seeing the murderous intent in Lu Xiao's eyes, Jia Teng said with a "kind intention".
"Hmph!" With an angry snorted, Lu Xiao suppressed the murderous intent. He naturally knew the reason why Jia Teng was so "kind".
"What should I do next?" The most headache at this time was Zhou Guan, who finally calmed down from his gratitude.
His series of performances just now were very exciting, but because of this, he didn't know how to end the next thing he had already confirmed that he could not be punished by Qian Gu, and he could not be convicted and imprisoned.
In addition, he was dragged away by Jaten, a yamen runner who had "related" to Qiangu. If he immediately reversed the situation after going out and declared Qiangu not guilty, even if he found a suitable reason, he would be scolded by those "troubled people" in secret for accepting bribes, and then he would suddenly change the sentence.
If it were normal, Zhou Guan naturally didn't care about the cursing and ridicule of these "troubled people" behind their backs, but now, because the princess is in the town, he really can't be calm.
Moreover, with the previous comparison, Zhou Guan felt that his image in the princess' heart would not be better than those in the cottage. When the princess returned to the capital and talked to the emperor about what she had experienced along the way, she said "accidentally" a few words, and then Zhou Guan still couldn't escape from the gates of hell.
"At this point, if Lord Zhou still wants to keep his reputation and does not want the princess's secret to be leaked, he will have to lose some money." Looking at Zhou Guan, who looked embarrassed, Jia Teng, who was resentful because Zhou Guan had turned to the Jinyiwei before, couldn't help but feel secretly happy, but his face looked like he was considering him.
"Spend money?" Zhou Guan felt a little distressed when he heard these two words, but when he thought of the consequences, he had to make up his mind, "How much is appropriate?"
"Not much," Jaten's teeth were very white, but in Zhou Guan's eyes, it seemed like a knife about to cut into the soft flesh in his heart. "Two times should be almost the same." Sure enough, Jaten's next sentence made Zhou Guan jump up as if he was really cut by a knife.
"What? Six hundred taels? Why don't you rob it?"
"Then I have to ask Lord Zhou to find a solution." Jia Teng spread his hands, looking indifferent.
"Three hundred taels." Zhou Guan planned to bargain.
But Jaten just looked at him, neither speaking nor acting.
"Five hundred taels, no more." Zhou Guan's voice became sharp. It sounded in Jaten's ears, as if Zhou Guan was not Zhou Guan, but his boss Li Yu.
"Okay, five hundred taels are five hundred taels."
Although this time the matter was almost ruined, Jia Teng felt that it was good that he could get so much money on the territory of the Jinyiwei. He was just a small stubborn person and even Li Yu had no choice, so what could he do?
"Tell the people from Tianji Pavilion that I can always forgive the incident this time, but in the future, if I see a person from Tianji Pavilion in Yao Town again, I won't blame me."
After Jaten and Zhou Guan’s deal was over, Lu Xiao’s voice suddenly rang again.
"I will tell them the truth," Jaten glanced at Lu Xiao, with his lips slightly raised, "but I don't guarantee whether they will listen to me."
"snort!"
...
Things have been negotiated, and it will be easier to handle next.
Lord Zhou Guanzhou continued to be selfless, but he was cut at once for 500 taels of silver, and his face turned completely dark this time.
Jiaten took the opportunity to get to Qiangu by beating the board and signaled him to cooperate with the scene, and would not really put him in prison and sentence him. Of course, in order to make him "convinced", Jiaten cut out 100 taels from the five hundred taels.
For the sake of 100 taels of silver, Qian Gu immediately compromised, and then screamed with great ties. Zhou Guan, who was above, looked at his exaggerated acting skills, wanted to rush down immediately, snatched the tortured water and fire stick from Jiaten, and personally took action to avenge his cut 500 taels.
