It’s rare to have guests in Prince Jaw’s Mansion today.
Xia Chengxuan was not in the mansion, so the palace guard sent the invitation to the deacon's room.
Du Chong looked at the name on the invitation and was really surprised for a long time, "How could it be him? What does Zhang Suiguang have to do with the prince?"
In any case, Zhang Suiguang sent a greeting card after all. He is a big shot in the world, and when he comes here, he is considered a distinguished guest. The young master was not at the house, so Du Chong had to send the invitation to Ran Jingru, who was ill.
Ran Jingru's health was not serious at first. After resting in bed for a day, she felt much better. Just remembering that my husband's murder is a done deal, I can't help crying and lamenting from time to time.
"Salt Gang Zhang Suiguang?"
Seeing the last five words on the invitation, Ran Jingru sat up straight and seemed to be deep in thought.
"Princess, are you going to take him back?" Du Chong bowed and asked.
Ran Jingru shook her head gently and asked: "Du Chong, is the Zhang Suiguang waiting outside the leader of the Salt Gang the best in the world?"
"It's this person." Du Chong replied softly.
There are many gangs in the world that engage in private salt trading. The only one who dares to be called a salt gang is Zhang Suiguang's salt gang.
Ran Jingru nodded slightly after hearing this, and asked after a while: "You have been with the prince for almost twenty years, and you know his affairs best. Does the prince have any friendship with the Salt Gang?"
Du Chong lowered his head and thought carefully, and after five or six breaths, he replied: "I have never seen the prince and Zhang Suiguang have any contact. I think the prince and he are not acquainted."
"Well..." Ran Jingru was polishing the greeting card, closed her eyes and pondered, suddenly laughed, and said to Du Chong: "Quickly, ask him to go to the side hall!"
... ...
Should the reward of a hereditary prince be given to the An family or the Chen family?
As soon as Chen Jinbei asked, An Wuyu also realized the difficulty of the matter, and his face couldn't help but become solemn.
Yes, the original Julu City was in what is now Jianzhou. The old land was re-confessed, but there was only one state in the old land, and the descendants had two surnames. Which family was given the hereditary title of King Julu?
Seeing that both of them looked at her with stern expressions, Yu Lingyi secretly complained, "I can't answer this matter carelessly, let alone make a promise at will. And even if I answer and promise, I'm afraid they may not believe it. But this We can’t deal with it now, it’s really difficult to deal with it.”
This is the most important dispute here. Although the An and Chen families are on good terms, they will never give in to each other. The fact that the two surnames have the same origin was unexpected. Duan Muyu did not expect it, nor did Yu Lingyi. Therefore, one did not say anything and the other did not ask.
Yu Lingyi took a deep breath and replied seriously: "You two, I'm sorry that Yu can't answer this question for the time being. None of the five old letters mentioned the matter of King Julu's separation of two surnames, and the emperor has no ability to predict the future. , so this event was not expected before, and Yu was not granted the right to confer nobility or fiefdom."
An Wuyu and Chen Jinbei's expressions softened slightly after hearing this reply, but they did not show any signs of satisfaction.
The matter is unresolved, and the two of them are always unsure. Two horizontal lines hang between their foreheads.
"Pavilion Master An, Master Chen, if you two can trust Yu, are you willing to listen to what I have predicted?" Yu Lingyi cupped his fists at the two of them and said in a deep voice.
An and Chen also knew that this matter was indeed unpredictable, but they had no complaints against Duan Muyu and Yu Lingyi. After looking at each other, An Wuyunai replied: "Mr. Yu, you might as well talk about it."
"Thank you!" Yu Lingyi stood up, bowed slightly to the two of them and thanked them, and then said, "Yu is not only the minister of defense of the imperial city of Jue Kingdom, but also the emperor's martial arts instructor."
Duanmuyu studied under Yu Lingyi, the country's top master. Not only was it not a secret in Jue Kingdom, but even in the Dahua martial arts world, there were not a few people who knew about it. With Zhaixing Pavilion's knowledge being the best in the world, he naturally knew about this event in advance.
Seeing that An Wuyu and Chen Jinbei didn't seem to believe it, Yu Lingyi continued: "Before the emperor ascended the throne, he studied martial arts with me for fourteen years. Yu asked himself and knew very well about his temperament. Now I dare to make a guess. Please refer to it for details."
"Oh, Mr. Yu, how do you think your Lord will decide?" An Wuyu asked seriously.
Although Chen Jinbei didn't speak, he obviously asked this question.
Fourteen years as a close servant is not a short time to understand a person's temperament. An and Chen naturally felt that Yu Lingyi's understanding of Duan Muyu was definitely not shallow. He must be at least 50% sure of his guess. .
"The emperor will never be stingy in showing kindness. If he knew that Julu's descendants had two surnames, he would definitely grant titles from both places!" Yu Lingyi said firmly.
To be honest, what he was thinking was not as certain as what he said. However, at this moment, he had to make such a certain assertion.
An and Chen looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
There was no solution to this matter for a while, and Yu Lingyi was helpless. However, the affairs of King Leiyang could not be delayed because of this. He immediately turned to Xu Xiaoyu and said: "Mr. Xu, according to what Master An said in the past two days, the Xu family is most likely the descendant of King Leiyang."
Xu Xiaoyunu looked at Yu Lingyi, and his face couldn't tell whether he believed it or not.
Yu Lingyi did not beat around the bush, took out two envelopes from his arms, handed the thicker one over, and said seriously: "Although King Leiyang has changed his surname, I think there must be inheritance and things in the clan. Here are the eight envelopes King Leiyang wrote a secret letter to the royal family of Jue State after he fled to Renzhou with his cronies and family members. Mr. Xu, please read it carefully!"
Xu Xiaoyu is one of the few masters in the world. However, when he stretched out his hands to take the envelope, he was trembling slightly, which showed that he was much more excited than he described.
If it weren't for his ancestral work, why would he still be traveling thousands of miles even in his seventies?
However, the contents of this envelope at this time may be able to solve the mystery that has been passed down from ancestors for more than three hundred years.
... ...
"An alliance?"
Ran Jingru asked in a low voice. She didn't expect Zhang Suiguang to be such a cheerful person, and he explained his intention when he met her the first time.
"Yes, I came here today just to make an alliance with Prince Jia's Mansion." Zhang Suiguang replied with a chuckle.
"What's the plan? Why did we form an alliance?" Ran Jingru asked seriously.
For two parties to form an alliance, there must be something they can collude with and someone who can do something. The Jaw Palace needs allies right now, but not all people are worthy of being allies.
"The plotter is naturally Prince Yun's Mansion. And I have something in my hand. If I can use it, I can definitely move it to Xia Muyan." Zhang Suiguang said confidently.
The things he said could be moved to Xia Muyan were what Duan Muyu asked Duanmu Jing to bring to him the day before yesterday. Zhang Suiguang knew that he was not a member of the Jianghu after all. Although he had these irrefutable evidence, he could never make it public to the world by himself. If he wanted to achieve anything, he had to rely on Xia Muyan's political opponents. After careful consideration, he finally chose Jaw Palace.
"Buzz~~~"
Ran Jingru instantly felt a loud noise coming from inside her head!
God has eyes!
The dead husband appears!
"What exactly is the thing in your hand? Can you tell me?" Ran Jingru tried her best to suppress the excitement in her heart and asked in a deep voice.
In the past five days, she had not stopped thinking about how to take revenge. However, Prince Yun's palace is so powerful that revenge is not easy.
Zhang Suiguang tapped the table with his five fingers, making a sound of "嘘嘚...嘘嘘". After a long time, he replied: "I have more than one thing on my hand. But I can tell the princess, one of them is A secret letter from Xia Muyan and Zhao Qianming who conspired to frame and kill His Royal Highness King Jaw."
"Bang!" Ran Jingru punched the table hard, as if she was crazy.
