Wu Chunlai stared at Lin Jue quietly and said: "Junior brother, I know what you think. You must think that my words are not credible. You even think that I am a bit pretentious. You are actually a smart person. I have learned about your experience over the past year.
As a result, I believe that you and I are the same type of people. We are both smart people, and we are both thoughtful and prepared for our future, so you have risked your life several times in order to establish a relationship with Prince Liang’s Mansion.
.I admire your courage and scheming very much. I also know that you want to find a supporter for yourself. What you want in your heart must be to have Prince Liang’s Mansion as a stepping stone to support you in the future. Rely on Prince Liang’s Mansion.
My strength is soaring, am I right?"
Lin Jue burst out laughing. Wu Chunlai actually thought that he was the same person as him, and that everything he did was to pave the way for him to find a backer. This man really loved to get into trouble and was self-righteous. In fact, he had always avoided talking to Liang.
Being involved in the palace, those few times I served were forced to a dead end, and because of the bad relationship with the little princess, I had to get close to the palace. If I had a choice, I would never
He will get involved with Prince Liang's Mansion because he knows what happened to Prince Liang's Mansion.
But Lin Jue didn't want to argue with Wu Chunlai. He wanted to hear how far Wu Chunlai was going and how bizarre his ideas were.
"You don't have to admit it, and I don't need you to admit it." Wu Chunlai looked at Lin Jue's surprised face with a smile, thinking that he had guessed everything correctly, and he felt very proud. "You see, I have worked hard on you.
.You are now a guest in Prince Liang’s Mansion. Prince Liang treats you very highly. Yan Zhengsheng treats you well. In addition, your teacher is a great scholar in the world. Maybe in your opinion, you have all the help and connections you need.
, so you must have found it a little funny when you heard that I was going to help you. Because you think you have already thought it through and don’t need help from others, right?"
Lin Jue smiled and said, "You have already said it, why are you asking me?"
Wu Chunlai laughed, stroking his beard and pondering for a moment, and suddenly said word by word: "Junior brother, do you know that sometimes it is very fatal to find the wrong backer. Sometimes you think he is your backer, and you think that he is your backer.
You can be helped by him to rise to great heights, but you don't know that he may not be able to protect himself. To put it simply, he is helping others, but even he himself is living in trepidation. He just doesn't know the details and thinks that his great power is just a backer to protect him from wind and rain. Do you think?
Is this possible?"
Lin Jue's heart sank and he thought to himself: It seems that we are about to get to the point. Finally, we got some useful information from going around.
Lin Jue pretended to be surprised and asked: "What did Mr. Wu mean by this? Why...didn't I understand?"
Wu Chunlai chuckled, shook his head and said: "How can a smart person like you not understand what I say? Do you need to put it more straightforwardly? Finding a backer is also a skill, which requires vision and luck. Not everyone can
Can be used as a backer. Some people seem to be powerful and an indestructible backer, but in fact it is just a sandy mountain with a weak foundation. When the wind blows and rains, the mountain will fall, and then the flowers growing on the mountain will fall.
Everything will be buried alive. Therefore, once you find the wrong backer and stand on the wrong team, it will often be counterproductive, and sometimes you will have no place to hide."
Lin Jue swallowed and was in a daze. Wu Chunlai looked at Lin Jue's nervous face and smiled silently. He was very satisfied with Lin Jue's reaction. He knew that Lin Jue understood. He needed Lin Jue to understand that he was in a situation.
In an awkward or even dangerous situation, he can carry out his plan.
"Junior brother, I am by no means an alarmist. There are some things in this world that cannot be judged by their appearance, but by their substance. In fact, I shouldn't have said these words to you. If I did, it would cause trouble for myself. But I
I do have a special feeling of closeness to you, and I don’t want you to go astray, so today I specially invited you to come and say these things to you. I don’t know why, maybe you and I are particularly destined. If you
I'm very happy to believe what I say. If you don't believe it, I won't force you. After all, your future is your business and has nothing to do with me. Your life and death have nothing to do with me, do you understand what I mean?"
Lin Jue's throat rolled, and he said in a trembling voice: "Master Wu, do you mean to say that Prince Liang and Master Yan are actually unable to protect themselves, and I cannot follow them, otherwise I will be implicated by them in the future."
Wu Chunlai frowned and muttered: "At last you are not confused. Even Yan Zhengsheng can't be your backer. He and Mr. are the same kind of people. If you think about what happened to me back then, you will know that they will not go for you.
Destroy their noble conduct. I am talking about Prince Liang."
Lin Jue murmured: "How is it possible? That is Prince Liang, the younger brother of the current Holy Emperor. How could he not be able to protect himself?"
"Hey!" Wu Chunlai sneered: "Do you think I am joking? How dare I joke about this kind of thing? It is true that Prince Liang has a noble status. But even Prince Liang will be caught if he makes a mistake.
When we get to the point, aren’t we going to fall the same way? Don’t pretend you don’t know anything. You are so close to Prince Liang’s Mansion. How could you not know what Prince Liang has done?”
Lin Jue was shocked and said: "What do you mean by this, sir? How could I know about the affairs of Prince Liang's Mansion?"
Wu Chunlai sneered, walked slowly to Lin Jue, looked down at Lin Jue's eyes, leaned over and said: "Junior brother, don't tell me that you don't know about the Queen Mother's birthday gift being robbed a year ago. Then
Once you went to the bandit village on Guishan Island with your head high to retrieve a birthday gift. Have you forgotten such a glorious deed?"
Lin Jue was horrified and speechless.
"The birthday gift was robbed, but the officials of the Liang Prince's Mansion and the Liangzhe Road Hangzhou Mansion concealed it and deceived the Holy Father and the court. What kind of crime is this? They thought they could cover the sky with one hand, thinking that the court would not know about it, but they did not know that the court had already known it.
The Holy One has already known about it. Junior brother, you also played a very disgraceful role in it. In the future, you will probably be involved in the reckoning."
Lin Jue's face was horrified, and he stared blankly at Wu Chunlai's face so close to him, speechless. A year has passed since the birthday gift was robbed, and some things have calmed down, but unexpectedly it was still revealed. Wu Chunlai already
I know, Lu Zhongtian must know, but I don’t know why Lu Zhongtian didn’t make a big fuss about it. But this matter is obviously a time bomb that can explode at any time, and its power cannot be underestimated.
"Master Wu, my Lin family has nothing to do with the birthday gift being robbed, because my Lin family is responsible for escorting it. In order to make up for my fault, I took the risk to take back the birthday gift. Is this also a fault? As for whether Prince Liang and the officials in Liangzhe Road concealed it.
The matter of retribution has nothing to do with me. I am just a commoner, so we cannot be blamed for such things." Lin Jue swallowed his foam and said.
Wu Chunlai chuckled and said, "It really has nothing to do with you. If you, the Lin family, can make up for your mistakes, the most you can do is receive some punishment. The key to the problem now is not that the birthday gift was robbed, but the deception of the court and the emperor after the robbery. Then
It is the most intolerable. To tell you the truth, the Holy One has not taken any action to accuse the emperor for the time being, but it does not mean that the Holy One can tolerate the prince colluding with local officials to cover the sky with one hand. Sooner or later, this matter will break out. By then, a large number of
People are going to be unlucky. So I just told you that it is very important to choose a backer. It is so unwise for you to use Prince Liang as your backer."
Lin Jue frowned and thought for a while and said: "Master Wu, will Prince Liang be in bad luck because of this incident? Will his house be confiscated and beheaded?"
Wu Chunlai smacked his lips and said: "That's not necessarily the case, but the people involved must pay a price. It is also possible to kill a few officials. After all, the impact of this matter is bad. The prince's affairs are not just this one, there are other things.
I am not in the position to tell you clearly. I only raise this matter to make you understand that Prince Liang has done many things that are intolerable to His Majesty. It’s not that he won’t do it, but that the time has not come yet. Once the time comes to liquidate him,
One day, he pulls out the carrot and brings out the mud, and all the people who are attached to him and follow him will be affected, and no one can escape. Do you understand what I mean?"
Lin Jue nodded hurriedly and said: "I understand, thank you Mr. Wu for reminding me. It seems that I can't get too close to Prince Liang's Mansion, let alone have unrealistic ideas of being supported by Prince Liang's Mansion. This is too dangerous. I didn't expect the officialdom.
It's so dangerous to go to school, so I think I'd better just be a merchant and not take the imperial examination, so I can stay safe and aloof from the world."
Wu Chunlai rolled his eyes. He didn't expect to frighten Lin Jue to such an extent that he didn't even plan to take the imperial examination. This was not his purpose.
"Junior brother, I'm afraid it's too late for you to get away now. In the past year, you have done a lot of things for Prince Liang with all your heart. Let's not talk about birthday gifts. It was you who provided advice and suggestions for wiping out the pirates a few months ago.
Right? A few days ago, you also won the oiran for Qunfang Pavilion. Qunfang Pavilion is the property of Prince Liang's Mansion, which is no secret. You often go to Prince Liang's Mansion and are a guest of Prince Liang. I'm afraid it's not just me who does this.
Many people know it. It can be said that when I mention you now, I will naturally think of the relationship between you and Prince Liang. I’m afraid it’s too late if you want to sever the relationship now.”
Lin Jue said in shock: "You mean, as long as King Liang is unlucky, I will definitely be implicated? I can't even get away?"
Wu Chunlai looked at Lin Jue with an expression of pity, nodded and said: "That's right, people always have to take responsibility for what they have done."
Lin Jue looked sad and said with a depressed expression: "It's over. According to what the adults say, I seem to have no way out. I made a big mistake. What should I do? What should I do?"
Wu Chunlai quietly looked at Lin Jue's nervous look. He knew that the time had come. At this time, Lin Jue was already frightened by him. He should act as a savior and give him a good solution. He would definitely shed tears of gratitude and obey his words.
.
"Junior brother, of course there is a way. Otherwise, why would I call you here today? I just want to point out a clear path for you. Do you want to hear it?" Wu Chunlai said with a smile.
Lin Jue looked up at Wu Chunlai, suddenly stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Please give me some advice, how can I get out of this predicament? How can I make up for my previous mistakes?"
Wu Chunlai waved his hand and said with a smile: "Junior brother, you don't have to panic. Although this matter is difficult, there is a saying that a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise. Maybe this will be an opportunity for you."
