It was obvious that Guo Tiande had put a lot of thought in advance to welcome his arrival today.
Seeing that Guo Tiande was about to tiptoe back, Song Huan grabbed the opponent's stubby arm with quick eyes and quick hands.
"Master Guo, what do you mean?"
"Didn't you agree to invite me to come to your house to discuss matters?"
"Why, is it possible that the king wants me to discuss matters with these maids?"
He wanted to run away after leaving these girls behind. Could it be that Guo Tiande wanted to do a fairy dance for himself?
Although Song Huan likes beautiful girls, it's best to stay away from people with shady backgrounds like this!
These women were all courtesans that Guo Tiande had picked up from Huixian Argyle in advance. To be fair, each of them was an enchanting woman who could charm all living beings.
I thought that when the fourth prince saw these girls, he would be unable to walk. He immediately became drunk and went to the land of bliss together.
However, what he didn't expect was that the fourth prince seemed not to be affected at all!
Is he still a man?
Although there were countless questions in his mind, Guo Tiande still tried his best to show a reluctant smile when faced with Song Huan's questioning.
"What the hell, these maids in the humble office are too enthusiastic, making His Highness uncomfortable, right?"
"Then what, after you guys have served tea, please leave immediately!"
"I still have something important to discuss with His Highness!"
Several women looked at each other, feeling a little in disbelief.
Didn't you say well before you came that you must take care of the fourth prince?
Why did you have to leave on your own at this juncture?
If I really leave, will the money I agreed to before be returned? …
After Guo Tiande's repeated urging, several women reluctantly left.
In the main hall, only Guo Tiande and Song Huan were left in an instant.
"Tell me, Mr. Guo, why did you stop my carriage late at night?"
"My patience is limited, so if you have any questions, you'd better get straight to the point and don't talk nonsense!"
Guo Tiande did not expect that Song Huan would act so resolutely and without any sloppiness.
Seeing that Song Huan was speaking very seriously, Guo Tiande did not dare to hide anything anymore, so he had to speak slowly.
"that……"
"I am humble enough to ask Your Highness to come here. It is indeed because of some important things that I am asking for Your Highness!"
"I know from my humble position that His Majesty gave the Zheng family's case to Zuo Shilang Qi Yuandao, but it was His Highness who personally brought these Zheng family members back to the Ministry of Justice."
"Especially today's Mrs. Zheng. She has quite a lot of background. She is the Grand Master's two thousand gold..."
Hearing Guo Tiande mention Shangguan Hanxing, Song Huan immediately understood the other party's intention.
"Master Guo, the reason why you invited me here late at night is probably because of Mrs. Zheng's business!"
"Do you want me to be accommodating and bail out Mrs. Zheng?"
After Song Huan revealed his true purpose, Guo Tiande unexpectedly relaxed a lot.
"Your Highness, I am doing this because I am humble enough to do this for your own sake!"
"Master Taishi is an important minister of the imperial court, and Mrs. Zheng is the sister of Empress Shangguan."
"You arrested her yourself. Although you were right in arresting her, you also offended the Grand Master and Queen Shangguan."
"Tell me, why are you doing this?"
"Taking her to the Criminal Department and locking her up for one night can be regarded as a small punishment but a big punishment for her!"
"There's really no need to kill them all!"
"Do you think this is true?"
Guo Tiande claimed that what he said was right and reasonable.
After finishing his conversation, he did not forget to wink at Song Huan slyly.
Hearing Guo Tiande's words, Song Huan burst into laughter.
"Why, in your eyes, doesn't right and wrong matter?"
"Don't morals and laws matter?"
"Is it the most important thing for officials to protect each other and save each other's face?"
"No, no, no," Guo Tiande hurriedly explained, "Beizhi said, Beizhi suggested this for your own sake!"
"This little greeting gift is really disrespectful!"
"From now on, you can be regarded as making friends with the Grand Master!"
As Guo Tiande spoke, he held an exquisite sandalwood box in his hands.
Song Huan opened the box and found a stack of large-denomination banknotes neatly packed inside.
At a rough glance, there are as many as one hundred thousand taels at least!
Song Huan remained calm and continued to stare at Guo Tiande with a friendly expression in front of him.
"As a disciple of the Grand Master, do you work hard to climb up to the position of Minister of Justice just to serve the Grand Master?"
Song Huan's question made Guo Tiande speechless for a moment.
He is indeed a disciple of the Grand Master, but this matter is of great importance and he needs to speak directly to Song Huan.
When Jiang Lin first found Guo Tiande, Guo Tiande naturally refused in every possible way!
Nowadays, no one in the court knows that the fourth prince has changed his appearance.
At this juncture, whoever dares to ask the fourth prince to intercede for the Zheng family without permission is simply asking for death!
Seeing Guo Tiande's hesitation, Jiang Lin actually took out the account book of bribes Guo Tiande had received over the years.
"Master Guo, you can't be ungrateful!"
"Have you forgotten the kindness of the Grand Master?"
"Now that the Grand Master is in trouble, I just need you to come forward and help spread the word."
"You actually want to sternly refuse?"
Faced with Jiang Linpi's serious threat, Guo Tiande was immediately horrified!
Although the other party is just a small housekeeper next to the Grand Master, he is not even a seventh-grade official.
But the evidence he holds in his hands is enough to paralyze most of Liang's officialdom!
Thinking of this, Guo Tiande couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.
After thinking about it, I came up with this idea.
After all, a man only has three major hobbies in his life: power, money and women.
The fourth prince naturally already possesses power.
Although the Fourth Prince has no shortage of money, the more the better.
As for women, no man can refuse!
For tonight, Guo Tiande not only went to Huixian Yage overnight, but also invited several oirans.
He even took out 300,000 taels of silver from his own pocket with tears in his eyes.
If I can really satisfy the Grand Master this time, then my hard work will not be in vain!
But reality is often much more complicated.
When facing Song Huan, the powerful aura that hit his face still made Guo Tiande break out in cold sweat.
Especially the Fourth Prince's questions that penetrated deep into one's soul made Guo Tiande dare not speak!
After thinking about it, Guo Tiande could only hesitate and say: "That..."
"Your Highness, this humble position is really not for serving the Grand Master."
"It's just...that..."
"Master Zheng once showed kindness to me, but I will never forget my humble position, so I thought..."
"I just thought..."
Guo Tiande's voice became weaker and weaker, as if even he didn't believe his own excuse.
