Chapter 750

Wu Zhao trusted him and entrusted him with heavy responsibilities. If it really was the Empress Dowager and the Prime Minister who harmed the Late Emperor, then they must have a big plot, and even Wu Zhao would be in danger.

If a palace coup really broke out and harmed Wu Zhao, he would definitely be finished!

"Is it really the Empress Dowager and the Prime Minister?"

Li Long also accepted his fate. There was no way; he was already on a pirate ship. Even scolding Gao Yang would be extremely unwise.

It was just like that; things had reached this point. Since no one would pay attention even if he screamed, and he couldn't resist, he could only enjoy it.

After all, even if the matter of 500,000 taels of silver was exposed, he would definitely die, but the Empress would not necessarily throw Gao Yang into the celestial prison.

The value of the two of them was not equal; Li Long knew this very well in his heart.

"It's not certain yet, but we'll know in a few days. Assassination won't happen in these few days, but if the Empress Dowager summons me, that will be the greatest evidence!"

A cold light flashed in Gao Yang's eyes.

Li Long frowned and said, "Empress Dowager, let alone knowing the Lin family is related to Chen Qiang, even if she didn't know, if you and I suddenly investigate Chen Qiang's whereabouts with great fanfare, she will also smell something wrong and I'm afraid she won't act rashly."

After saying this, Li Long just wanted to eat some food gloomily, but he saw Gao Yang's eyes staring at him.

He was instantly nervous.

"Lord Gao, what do you mean by that look?"

"This requires Brother Li to continue to put pressure on the Empress Dowager. Geese leave traces; there is no wall in the world that doesn't leak wind. As long as Brother Li continues to investigate Chen Qiang as a liar, if the Empress Dowager is really involved in murdering the Late Emperor, she will definitely not be able to sit still!"

"Because she will be afraid that I will poke all of this to His Majesty!"

"She has no choice!"

Li Long stood up and bowed to Gao Yang, "Then your brother will return to the palace first."

"Not stay a while longer?"

Gao Yang asked him to stay.

"Not staying."

"Returning to the palace this time, one is to continue the investigation, two is to transfer more people to guard, and three is to secretly investigate all the people under my command."

Gao Yang looked at the nervous Li Long and smiled, "Brother Li, don't be nervous. Think of it in a good way; isn't this a good thing?"

"If this matter is true, it means you and I know the Empress Dowager's secret. The Empress Dowager definitely doesn't want this secret to reach His Majesty's ears."

Once these words were out, Li Long's eyes widened.

He was completely numb!

These words sounded very wrong!

"Farewell!"

Li Long thought of Empress Dowager Xiao's beauty, his tiger body shook, and then he hurriedly left directly.

Gao Yang called out, "Brother Li, chat a while longer?"

But Li Long didn't even look back, his steps running very fast.

In the imperial palace.

Wu Zhao sat on the large dragon chair, her eyes slightly narrowed, a terrifying aura spreading and erupting from her center.

"Is there any movement in the Empress Dowager's bedchamber?"

Wu Zhao asked coldly.

"Maids and eunuchs are going in and out, everything looks normal, but tonight she suddenly dismissed the maids around her. As for why, I don't know."

"What about Gao Yang?" Wu Zhao continued to ask.

"Imperial Guard Commander Li Long went to the Duke of Ding Prefecture late at night. Before this, Commander Li ordered people to search for an imperial guard named Chen Qiang!"

"But this person is missing. Should I summon Commander Li?"

Shangguan Wan'er's voice was respectful as she asked tentatively.

Wu Zhao shook her head, her gaze deep: "No need. I will pretend I don't know about all this. Leave it to Gao Yang; he will give me an answer!"

"Also, summon General Lv for me; I have something to order!"

"Yes!"

Shangguan Wan'er responded and then turned and left.

Wu Zhao's eyes flickered, her body filled with killing intent.

The large Changancheng was shrouded in darkness, seemingly very calm, but in reality, undercurrents were surging!

"..."

In the next few days, everything was calm.

This was like a process of exhausting an eagle; whoever couldn't hold on first would be the loser.

Gao Yang's mentality went without saying; as long as Wu Zhao took strict precautions, he would hold the initiative and was not in the slightest hurry.

He was in the Duke of Ding Prefecture, busy with the first new project he wanted to do: the Royal No. 1 Clubhouse.

He had high hopes for this project, and Gao Changwen had even higher hopes, even taking the initiative to negotiate with Gao Yang, claiming he was the next Mohist leader and naturally had to seek benefits for Mohist disciples, so it must be 20% off.

Regarding this, Gao Yang thought about it and agreed decisively, which moved Gao Changwen, who decided to tell the Mohist leader that for the Royal No. 1 Clubhouse, Mohist disciples only needed to report his name to enjoy a 10% discount!

Then, Gao Yang found Xie Anran and ordered her to poach people at a high price, which was a piece of cake for the Xie family, who had been in Changancheng for a hundred years.

And to save trouble, Gao Yang simply handed over the construction of the clubhouse to Xie Anran and released some profits. Of course, the layout inside was definitely drawn by Gao Yang. This was not difficult; after all, in his previous life, Gao Yang had visited them often, so this was easy for him.

As everyone knows, the most important thing for a clubhouse is the technicians. On this point, Gao Yang basically did everything himself.

In the small courtyard.

Xie Anran and Lv Luo stood beside Gao Yang.

In front of them, more than a dozen women in their twenties and five or six women in their thirties who were still charming were each holding a piece of rice paper, reciting the content on the paper word by word.

"Brother, don't come next time. It's not easy for you to earn money. If you really miss me, just order the lowest package. I'll do it for you normally, but save some money yourself, marry a good wife, live a good life, don't look for someone like me. In the next life, if I don't do this line, I'll marry you!"

"Brother, don't pay the bill directly. Our clubhouse has activities. Ordinary people don't know, but I'll tell you. Your money is not easy, keep it well. By the way, the price of the project I did for you is supreme-level. Don't let it slip when you pay the bill, otherwise, I'll be whipped. Next time you come, order the cheapest one, and I'll do it well for you..."

Xie Anran listened to these noisy voices, her mouth twitching.

She took a deep look at Gao Yang and swallowed a mouthful of saliva involuntarily. She wanted to invest no matter how much money this clubhouse cost!

In this day and age, brothels have started using top-notch beauty traps?

"The top beauty trap of this clubhouse is enough, but why does it feel like something is missing?"

Gao Yang frowned, always feeling something was missing and not explosive enough, but at this time, Uncle Fu's voice suddenly sounded.

"Eldest Young Master, a palace maid came from outside the mansion, claiming to be from the Empress Dowager, saying the Empress Dowager appreciates your ability to govern the country and wants to see you."

Upon hearing this, Gao Yang's body shook suddenly, and then a strange sound came from his mouth.

"Hehehe..."
