Chapter 775: If you refuse this, the Second Princess will suffer greatly

~6 min read 1,111 words

Court of State Ceremonial.

"Senior Brother, how did this Gao Changwen perform in the Chunhua Pavilion? Does he also have the potential to become the Living Yama of Da Qian?"

Mo Tiancang looked at Mo Yuan, his voice unable to help but rise.

After these words, Chu Ningyu and the others also looked at Mo Yuan, whose face had turned somewhat pale.

Mo Yuan stroked his beard and said, "This child is wise but appears foolish. Whether in speech or in his ruthless actions, he has the potential to become the Living Yama."

"There are no idle people in the Gao family!"

In his mind, he thought of Gao Changwen holding him, roaming through the Chunhua Pavilion like an old horse knowing the way, and said with a firm expression.

With so many people from the Ding Duke Prefecture witnessing it, the Mo family had lost. If Gao Changwen could wear the title of Living Yama and the title of hiding his talent, the Mo family wouldn't sound so bad on the surface. The key is that he could give the Mo family disciples an explanation!

Hiding talent? Your perspective is too small; the Giant is hiding his talent!

As for a few years later, when he dies, that won't be his business.

But these words brought a huge shock to Chu Ningyu.

"What?"

"This Gao Changwen is actually hiding his talent!"

Chu Ningyu felt completely numb.

Regarding the Living Yama, on the surface, Gao Yang was killing in all directions, shocking the seven kingdoms. But in secret, Chang'an was surging with wind and clouds. Cui Xinghe, a mere Secretariat Drafter, had imperial guards protecting him closely; this was hard to explain.

Now comes another Gao Changwen, who hand-crafted a Luban lock, solved the Mo family's sacred object with his eyes closed, and took the position of the next Giant of the Mo family!

Accidentally bumping into Mo Yuan and then solving the Mo family's sacred object with his eyes closed—the probability of this is too low.

Instead, the possibility that he had long been eyeing the position of the Mo family Giant, and therefore stopped hiding his talent and acted directly, is much greater!

For a moment, Chu Ningyu felt her brain was about to turn into paste.

"Report!"

"First Princess, latest news: Dali Temple Minister Lu Wen has proposed a method to curb corrupt officials—the method of involution!"

"That method is quite ruthless, causing a shock in the Chang'an officialdom, and it seems it will sweep across the entire Da Qian!"

At this time, Chu Qiong rushed into the room, and her voice followed.

This thing couldn't be hidden for long, so Gao Yang and Wu Zhao didn't guard against it at all, but let the news spread.

After these words, Chu Ningyu was even more bewildered.

"Lu Wen?"

"Method of corruption, method of involution?"

After hearing these two methods, Chu Ningyu's brain crashed even more.

"Why do I feel that this method of curbing corrupt officials and the method of involution are also very much like the handiwork of the Living Yama?"

"This..."

For a moment, everyone looked at each other.

Why does it feel like the Living Yama is killing endlessly?

But just then, a clear, cold voice rang out.

"First Princess, Gao Yang has come uninvited to disturb you. I hope the First Princess will forgive me!"

Chu Ningyu turned back and saw Gao Yang, as well as Gao Changwen following behind him holding a feather fan.

Gao Yang actually came?

Chu Ningyu stared at Gao Yang, feeling somewhat confused for a moment.

But since Gao Yang was already there, Chu Ningyu could only extend her hand and say, "Lord Gao, please!"

After they sat down in the inner room, Mo Tiancang was the first to speak, "Lord Gao, you have graced us with your presence; I wonder what for?"

His tone was somewhat unpleasant.

Hearing this, Gao Changwen glanced at Mo Tiancang. When he saw the Mo family logo on Mo Tiancang's clothes.

He said coldly, "This Mo family disciple, watch your tone when speaking to the brother of the next Giant of the Mo family!"

"Otherwise, be careful that I have you expelled from the Mo family!"

Hearing this, Mo Tiancang felt completely numb.

"Damn!"

This tone, this face feigning anger, made him unable to believe it, "Senior Brother, is this the next Giant of my Mo family?"

"Are you sure?"

Mo Yuan's face was somewhat stiff, but he immediately reprimanded Mo Tiancang, "Do not use profanity in front of the next Giant."

Mo Tiancang: "..."

Gao Changwen felt secretly pleased.

This old man, that night of showing him the way was not in vain!

Chu Ningyu directly ruled out Gao Changwen; this Gao Changwen didn't look like he was acting.

"Lord Gao, what have you come for?"

Gao Yang first scanned the people behind Chu Ningyu, then Chu Ningyu said, "You all go down first."

Soon, only Gao Yang and Chu Ningyu were left in the room.

"Lord Gao, you can speak now."

Gao Yang smiled faintly and said, "First Princess, Gao Yang has come this time to make a deal with the First Princess."

"A deal?"

Hearing this, a look of disdain appeared on Chu Ningyu's mouth.

"Does Lord Gao think there is still a deal to be made between us?"

If it weren't for Gao Yang, could Great Chu have suffered such humiliation?

Now Gao Yang actually came to find her to make a deal!

"The world is bustling for profit; the world is bustling for profit. The First Princess doesn't need to be so excited."

"This is the Second Princess's personal letter. It should be very clear inside; this is a win-win strategy!"

Hearing this, Chu Ningyu's pupils shrank suddenly.

"Second Sister?"

She took Chu Ningyu's personal letter from Gao Yang's hand. After reading it, she said to Gao Yang in shock, "You want to frame the Prime Minister of Da Qian to his death?"

Gao Yang said righteously, "If Xu Xiang doesn't die, how can this position of Prime Minister fall into this official's hands?"

Chu Ningyu: "..."

These words made so much sense that she couldn't even refute them.

"One city, sixteen thousand taels—this is too much. Lower it a bit, otherwise, this matter cannot be discussed."

Xu Xuanji is insignificant to Great Chu. If we can frame him, Great Chu can earn some benefits from it.

Then she felt it was worth it.

Gao Yang shook his head, "I can't lower it by a single penny."

"Lord Gao, then you are very insincere! How can I cooperate with you to frame Xu Xiang?" ===== CHAPTER 777 =====
