I want to make progress

Chapter 62 Do it or not

"real!"

After being stunned for a moment, Luo Yi's eyes widened in surprise, and then he clapped his hands and laughed, "Hahaha! Gu Changting, you're in trouble. I asked you for the Qilin paperweight so many times and you refused to give it to me. Now you give it to me just like that. It shows that this matter is not easy. I tell you, I'm going to raise the price!"

She raised her beautiful head proudly. This was the first time she had the upper hand since she was a child. She couldn't let him fool her so easily. "Hey, I want the wild deer painting by the former master Zhang Yunzhi in your storeroom!"

"I'm telling you not to push your luck!"

He glared at this complacent man with a dark face, trying to make him retreat. However, he was not afraid at all and laughed happily.

"That's true. It's so rare that I can get an inch from you. I can't let this good opportunity go. Just tell me whether you will give it to me or not."

"Here!" Seeing him showing off and being fearless, Gu Changheng was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He made a wrong friend!

"Haha! Gu Changting, you have finally come to this day!"

With his hands on his hips, the handsome young man in the eyes of outsiders was now smiling like a rooster, looking extremely proud.

"Okay, I'll give you everything you want, but you also have to pay attention to what I ask of you!"

"Don't worry, I promise I'll do it for you!"

Jokes aside, when it comes to serious matters, Luo Yi is still very reliable. Besides, the Liangyi Sect does not sound like a good group of people. If there is any trouble, even though his father and brother are far away at the border, they will also be affected.

Darong is doing pretty well now, and the emperor is also pretty good, so it’s better to keep things as they are.

"By the way, I seem to remember you said that you have some friendship with Lord Meng, the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple." After finishing the official business, there was still a private matter.

"Yes, the Dali Temple investigates cases everywhere, and many times they find my territory. Although Lord Meng has a stern face, he is actually very smart. I am afraid he has guessed a lot about my private industries. Then the officials and the people cooperated for a while, and over time we became friends."

"Why, do you have something to ask him?" He was in a good mood and ate a piece of fish. Today, the fish tasted much sweeter. "You and he served in the same court, so your friendship must be deeper than mine. If you have anything to say, just tell him directly. Why are you going through the trouble of coming to me?"

Biting the peanuts, Luo Yi was very curious.

"There are some things that I cannot intervene in." Gu Changting shook his head. "Mr. Meng is probably very troubled by the case of Meng Nianjiao and Tang Honghui in the Duke of Huguo's Mansion recently. I have a way to help him share his worries."

The relationship between the Duke of England's Mansion and the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion is not harmonious, but it is not to the point of breaking off relations. The Duke of Protectorate's Mansion has already held a grudge against them for the incident in Xuancheng last time, and now they cannot intervene in this matter openly.

"It's this case. There are few people in the whole capital who don't know about it. The people in the Duke of the Guard are protective of their own people, not to mention the Queen Mother is behind them. But this case involves court officials, and so many people have witnessed it with their own eyes."

"We can't sentence him lightly, but if we sentence him heavily, we're afraid of offending the Duke of the Guard and the Queen Mother. Not to mention Lord Meng, anyone would be troubled. What can you do?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Yi looked at his friend with burning eyes. Although he didn't know why he suddenly became interested in this matter, he was very interested.

He had long been dissatisfied with the Duke of Huguo's Mansion and had been looking for ways to cheat them. He had originally planned to start with that useless Meng Xichen, but he hadn't expected that Meng Nianjiao would reveal a big secret before he even started. He had been paying attention to this case all the time these days. It was really exciting, more exciting than the plays on the stage. If the play was really good, he would have to give two gold ingots as a reward.

However, although this case is exciting, it is also a real headache for the Dali Temple and the Shuntian Prefecture Governor who are solving the case. I heard that the Shuntian Prefecture Governor has been troubled by a headache these days and smells of medicine whenever he enters and leaves the government office.

Lord Meng is not much better. He hasn't been seen coming to Zhenweilou to eat fish for several days. You should know that Lord Meng is a loyal fan of Zhenweilou's sweet and sour fish.

If there was a way to relieve Lord Meng's worries and make fun of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, he would naturally be happy to get involved.

"The truth of this case is very clear. There are so many eyewitnesses and the victim is still alive. The difficulty is not in finding out the truth, but how to judge it."

"In that case, why not hand the case over to someone else? It just so happens that the Emperor and the Empress Dowager have been assassinated, most of Zhengyang Street has been burned, countless people have been killed and injured, and the Liangyi Cult has emerged. Lord Meng is very busy right now, so isn't it normal to hand the case over to a subordinate?"

"As for the candidate, let Su Huai come. He just happened to be recuperating from a broken leg. The entire Dali Temple is very busy right now, so he has time to slowly handle this case."

"Eh~!"

Leaning back, Luo Yi pouted and looked at the sanctimonious man, "How did Su Huai offend you that you have to find so many ways to trick him."

As brothers who have grown up together, I can't say that I know him best, but I can say that I know him very well. Gu Changting is a man with a dark heart and a scheming mind. As soon as he heard it, he knew that this man has ulterior motives!
"Don't worry about it. Just say whether you will do it or not?"

She picked up the teacup and gently blew on the expanding tea leaves in the cup without even looking at him.

"Do it! Why not! Anyway, I don't have much friendship with Su Huai. As long as I can make fun of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, I don't care who gets into trouble!"

After getting the confirmation, there was no surprise on Gu Changting's face. He just took a sip of tea with a slight smile on his lips.

On this day, Shu Yunfu felt much better than before. Not only did she go out for a walk, she also caused trouble for the enemy. Although she couldn't see the effect for the time being, when she thought about what would happen in the future, the corners of her lips couldn't help but rise.

But she never expected that after returning to Yizhuxuan, she would be so surprised that her face was overwhelmed with laughter. She was really shocked and happy.

In broad daylight, with people coming and going, Gu Changting was just sleeping soundly on her bed, not even waking up when she entered the room.

"Why is the Duke here in broad daylight?"

Shu Yunfu was so frightened by the person on the bed that she almost screamed. Her heart was pounding, and she quickly asked Qiutang, who had hurriedly pulled her into the room as soon as she came back.

No wonder she behaved so strangely, it turned out she was scared. But it’s no wonder, if it were her, she would be scared too, after all, there was a bomb in the house!

"I don't know either. The Duke came quietly. When he knew my aunt was not around, he didn't say anything and just fell asleep on the bed." Qiu Tang was about to cry. Who knew how much pressure she had endured in such a short time.

"I was afraid of being seen by others, so I sent everyone else in the yard away and stayed outside the door, but this is not a long-term solution. I was getting anxious. Fortunately, you are back, Auntie."
