Zhou Gu thought about how the last letter had just arrived, and yet another one came so soon. He didn't know when the Crown Prince missed him so much. It was probably because he was looking for that woman.
He reached out and took the letter from Zhou Xi's hand and opened it. The letter was very short and contained two meanings. The first meaning was that he had taken action against Jiang Sheng, the governor of Jiangzhou, and he was going to be convicted of the crime soon.
Su Xu, the prefect of Su, succeeded as the governor of Jiangzhou. Another meaning is that the person he is looking for has been found, and there is no need for him to look for him anymore.
Zhou Gu closed the letter and waved to Zhou Xi, who retreated.
Zhou Gu stuffed the letter into his arms and hesitated for a moment. He felt that he could still talk to Su Rong about Su Xu's promotion. After all, it related to the Su family, so he said to Su Rong: "His Royal Highness came to Jiangzhou a few months ago.
He was assassinated, and we have been tracing who did it. We have some clues, and it is inseparable from the Jiangzhou Governor. Originally, His Highness the Crown Prince did not plan to attack Jiang Sheng now, but now it is known that the Jiangzhou Governor's Mansion and the Nanping Marquis Mansion are interested.
From the marriage, it can be seen that the assassination of His Highness the Crown Prince may have been Jiang Sheng's way of surrendering to the eldest prince. In this case, Jiang Sheng should take action. Therefore, His Highness the Crown Prince has already taken action."
Su Rong blinked, "Assassinating the crown prince is a serious crime. Do you want to kill the nine tribes?"
Zhou Gu nodded, "Yeah."
Su Rong clicked her tongue in her heart, thinking that Jiang Sheng's family had controlled Jiangzhou over the years and acted arrogantly. Although they did not bring down his father, they also put a lot of pressure on his father. Now the whole family is going to be ruined. It can be seen that
You really can't just stand in line and die.
She thought of Jiang Xing and immediately asked: "Jiang Xing is a branch of the Jiang family, will he be implicated, right?"
Zhou Gu paused and nodded, "Yeah."
Su Rong couldn't bear it, "Jiang Xing is very talented. Like my elder brother, he is also waiting for the Jinqiu scientific examination. If this happens now, his future will be ruined and his life will not be guaranteed..."
She suddenly felt that punishing the Nine Clan was too serious, "Won't you get a lighter punishment?"
"Probably not. Assassinating the prince is a serious crime, not to mention the multi-party game. Killing Jiang Sheng's family is the power of the prince. It also deters those who plan to seek refuge with the eldest prince and the second prince. They should not act rashly." Zhou Gu looked at Su Rong, "
Are you reluctant to leave Jiangxi?"
"It's not that I can't bear to leave." Su Rong shook his head, feeling that his words were inappropriate, and corrected him: "I just think it's a pity for him. His family is very low-key, and his parents are usually very kind in their dealings, which is very different from Jiang Sheng's family."
She looked at Zhou Gu, "Is there any way to save Jiang Xing's family?"
"Do you want to save?" Consultant Zhou.
"Well, when I ask you this, I naturally want to save you." Su Rong nodded.
Zhou Gu thought for a while and said, "It's not that there is nothing we can do. If he seeks refuge with His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness the Crown Prince can find a reason to protect his family. For example, if his father kills his relatives out of righteousness and exposes Jiang Sheng's crimes, it would be best to report them.
Who is Jiang Sheng colluding with to separate my family from Jiang Sheng's family?"
After he finished speaking, he added, "However, His Royal Highness is not accepted by everyone. He must be recommended by a reliable person."
"You." Su Rong looked at him, "Brother Zhou, you also know Jiang Xing. What do you think of him? Is he a talented person? Is it a pity if he is implicated by Jiang Sheng?"
Zhou Gu finally found out. When Su Rong asked for something from him, he would call him Brother Zhou. When Su Rong asked for nothing, he would call Zhou Gu. He nodded, "Jiang Xing is a talented person and his character is quite decent."
This can be regarded as confirmation of Jiang Xing.
Su Rong looked at him, "Then..."
"We also need the cooperation of Jiang Xing and his family." Zhou Gu said: "His Highness has already taken action. If you want to save his family, you have to do it as soon as possible. But Jiang Sheng doesn't know yet. We can't let the news leak. Once the news leaks, I'm afraid it will be bad."
It’s about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.”
Su Rong sat up straight, "I sent someone to make an appointment with Jiang Xing and talk to him privately. After all, it is a matter of saving his family's life. Let him make his own choice. If he agrees, it will not be in vain for you to bother. If he
If you are affectionate and righteous to Jiang Sheng's family, then I beg you in vain."
After she finished speaking, she assured Zhou Gu, "With me as your guarantee, I will keep an eye on him and I will never let him ruin His Highness the Crown Prince's affairs. How about that?"
She also wished that Jiang Sheng's family would be eliminated.
Zhou Gu agreed happily, "Okay!"
Zhou Gu is not a narrow-minded person. Even though Jiang Xing admires his fiancée, Jiang Xing didn't offend him and didn't do anything extraordinary. At most, he felt sad a few times and it didn't matter if he saw her.
Being able to recruit a talent for the prince can be regarded as contributing more to the country of Daliang.
So Su Rong sent someone to call Jiang Xing and asked him to have a drunken goose at Zui Ge Fang at noon.
Su Rong had no intention of telling Taishou Su and Su Xingze. After all, the matter was closely related. Zhou Gu could talk to her because he trusted her. Although Taishou Su and Su Xingze would not tell others, sometimes it is better to do less than to do more.
Son, don’t waste your words. What’s more, the matter of promotion concerns Su Taishou. Su Rong thinks it’s better for him to be promoted. For her these years, he has been living in Jiangning, and Mr. Jiang Sheng has been wearing small shoes to cause trouble. If he knew that he was going to
He may not be willing to move after being promoted, but it is still Jiangzhou's territory anyway. As the governor of Jiangzhou, at least he won't have to be overridden in Jiangzhou, and Jiangning will also be under his control.
After sending someone to deliver a message to Jiang Xing, Su Rong stood up and said to Zhou Gu, "Let's go, let's go to Zui'e Fang and wait for him."
Zhou Gu nodded, thinking that he could rest in the house for a day, but he didn't expect that he would have to go out again. However, the drunken goose at Zui Ge Fang was delicious, so it was a place he was happy to go.
The two of them left the house together, and Su Xingze got the news soon, thinking that Zhou Gu couldn't be left idle. As soon as he was idle, Su Rong would accompany him.
After Su Rong and Zhou Gu arrived at Zui'e Fang, they asked for a private room, and then drank tea while waiting for Jiang Xing.
This private room faces the street. Zhou Gu is sitting by the window. He can see people coming and going on the street by tilting his head. After drinking half a cup of tea, he suddenly spots a familiar figure from the corner of his eye, led by a group of people.
While walking on the street, he was stunned for a moment and took a closer look. Sure enough, he was someone he recognized even when he turned into ashes.
Zhou Gu frowned and muttered, "Why is he here in Jiangning?"
"Who is it?" Su Rong went to the window and looked out. There were many people on the street. One person was protected by a group of people. His face could not be seen, but everyone was dressed in rich clothes and the guards were also well-dressed. A group of people walked through the street.
But it is very eye-catching.
"Xie Lin."
"Who is Xie Lin?"
Zhou Gu turned to look at her and said, "The one who fought with me."
Su Rong suddenly realized, "Oh, it's the young prince of Ruian Palace. Why is he here? Is he passing by?"
Zhou Gu shook his head, "Who knows."
"Could he be chasing you to fight?" Su Rong guessed.
Zhou Gu snorted, "He couldn't beat me in the capital, but he can beat me here?"
Su Rong thought about it and said to him: "Jiangning is my territory. If he comes to fight with you, as your fiancée, I will definitely help you."
Zhou Gu suddenly remembered that he happened to meet Xie Lin before leaving Beijing. At that time, he reconciled with Xie Lin for the sake of face. He boasted in front of Xie Lin about how beautiful his fiancée was, and felt that he had bad intentions.
The fiancée has a low status, and he also wants to get a low-status fiancée for Xie Lin to prevent him from being laughed at.
He paused, hiding his bad thoughts, and said to Su Rong honestly: "Then you have to protect me."
Su Rong: "..."
While he was talking, the group of people passed through the street.
At the same time, Jiang Xing opened the door of the private room. He originally thought that Su Rong was just asking him out. When he saw Zhou Gu sitting with Su Rong, Jiang Xing paused and cleared up his hurried atmosphere.
, then closed the door and walked in slowly, bowed his hands in greeting, "Brother Zhou, Miss Seven."
Zhou Gu saw clearly and smiled, "Brother Jiang."
These days, Zhou Gu, Su Xingze and others became familiar with Jiang Xing and others. Because he did not have the problem of a noble son looking down on others, he was very talented and learned. Therefore, he was highly appreciated by others, and they gradually began to call each other brothers.
Jiang Xing sat down and asked doubtfully: "Brother Zhou comes to see me for something?"
"It's not me." Zhou Gu shook his head, "I came with Xiao Qi."
Jiang Xing was stunned for a moment. He knew that everyone in the Su family called Su Rong Xiaoqi. This was the first time he heard Su Rong being called Su Rong from an outsider in Zhou Gu. He was stunned for a moment, but it didn't last long.
It almost occurred to me that Zhou Gu was Su Rong's fiancé, so he wasn't considered an outsider.
Su Rong was also stunned for a moment. Zhou Gu usually called her by her name, but now he suddenly called her Xiaoqi. She didn't even react. She glanced at Zhou Gu and saw that he was calm and calm, as if it was so natural.
Di said casually. She suppressed the slight fluctuation in her heart and nodded to Jiang Xing, "Yes, I have something to ask you."
