Chapter 1861

The journey was too boring, so she had asked about everything that had happened around Gao Yang since she left Changancheng.

Chen Sheng had told her everything in detail.

She had heard about the Suiyang County affair back in Great Chu, and after Chen Sheng finished, it was even clearer.

That time, the Suiyang officialdom was blood-washed, heads rolled, and the orphanage affair even implicated Changancheng, with many involved behind the scenes launching an attack together.

Therefore, Gao Yang used the world's strongest ability—the money ability!

Although there were great benefits later, the cost was not small!

Ten million taels of silver, this was an astronomical price!

Chen Sheng also stepped forward and pointed to the bricks in the corner of the wall, "These were ordered by the Young Master for the mansion's craftsmen to forge early on, bricks forged with cement."

"The Young Master had long wanted to present them to His Majesty, as they could make city defenses and the Great Wall dozens of times stronger, but today when he brought them out, there was no joy on the Young Master's face."

Chu Qingluan glanced at the plain-looking bricks in the corner, not daring to underestimate them in the slightest.

"I understand. You all go down first, leave this to me."

Chu Qingluan said to Lv Luo, as well as Chen Sheng and Wu Guang to the side.

Seeing this, the few retreated.

Chu Qingluan came behind Gao Yang, and her slightly cool, jade-like hands were placed gently on Gao Yang's shoulders and neck, beginning to knead.

"Something on your mind?"

Gao Yang's body stiffened instinctively at first, but upon hearing Chu Qingluan's voice, he immediately relaxed.

"Hmm."

Gao Yang stubbed out the cigarette in his hand and responded.

"Because of You Rong and Lady Shangguan's affair?" Chu Qingluan continued to ask.

But in her heart, this possibility was extremely small, and it couldn't be because of her identity and the existence of Junjun.

"No."

"But this matter is much trickier and much more dangerous than You Rong's affair."

Chu Qingluan's body trembled, as if she had a premonition, her beautiful eyes instantly becoming solemn.

"Then it is... because of His Majesty?"
