Chapter 424: Hitting the ball
Wan Peng quickly put his mouth to Gu Chan’s ear and whispered.
"Don't mention Yanli. They were all beaten by her before, but now they hate her so much."
"How did I know! You didn't tell me earlier." Gu Chan said awkwardly .
Wan Peng chuckled and immediately smoothed things over by saying, "Sister, he is young and speaks unabashedly. Don't argue with him. Let's have a good meal and drink tonight, get to know each other, and make friends in the future. It’s pretty good too.”
"You brat, if it hadn't been the first time I met you, based on what you said just now, we would have gotten up and left." Wan Feiyan said angrily.
The other six eldest ladies also nodded in agreement.
Gu Chan rolled her eyes and said with a sly look, "You don't have to do this. Anyway, I avenged you that night. She is still lying in bed and can't get out of bed!"
"Yes, sister, Gu Chan is so powerful. That night, Yanli sent someone to steal his mysterious beast. He went directly to the Yushi Mansion. Not only did he get the mysterious beast back, he also forced Yan Xishan to give away his precious daughter. I gave him a good beating." Wan Peng followed up with good words.
Originally Wan Feiyan and the others were a little angry, but upon hearing what the two of them said, they instantly became smiling.
When Yanli beat them before, because she was the eldest daughter of the Yushi family, they didn't dare to go against her, so they could only suffer the loss of being dumb, break their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs.
How could they have imagined that one day such a person would appear and beat Yanli almost to death.
At this time, they really admired Gu Chan from the bottom of their hearts.
Then they started to ask Gu Chan about what happened at the Yushi Mansion that night.
Gu Chan naturally repeated what she had said to Wan Peng before, and then she was able to get over the matter.
After hearing this, they thought that Gu Chan might have relatives or acquaintances who were high-ranking officials in the capital, otherwise Yan Xishan, a protective person like Yan Xishan, would never beat his precious daughter so cruelly.
With this thought, they began to become extremely passionate about Gu Chan.
For more than an hour, everyone sat together, eating, drinking and chatting, and the atmosphere was extremely good.
It wasn't until Wan Feiyan and the others were almost done drinking that Gu Chan said seriously, "Sister Feiyan and the six sisters are almost done drinking. It's time for us to talk about serious business."
"Let's talk! It's something serious." Wan Feiyan said with a smile.
"To be honest, I came to the Jiangnan area this time to help the Ninth Prince raise border relief funds. According to your words, I should be considered one of the Ninth Prince's people." Gu Chan said solemnly.
“Bang!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Wan Feiyan’s hand loosened the hold on the wine glass, and the wine glass instantly fell to the ground, shattering with a bang.
Wan Peng and the other six eldest ladies also looked at Gu Chan with wide eyes, and the expressions on their faces became filled with surprise.
The atmosphere in the wing began to become subtle.
Gu Chan lowered her head and drank in silence, not in a hurry to speak, but gave them time to recover.
After a while, Wan Peng sighed and said, "No wonder you were able to win one hundred thousand taels of silver from me that night. It seems that I really underestimated you. You are indeed not an ordinary person."< br>
"Then you went to work as a beggar during the day to find out the details of the Jiangnan area so as to prepare for raising bailout money in the future?" Wan Feiyan said. Gu Chan neither admitted nor denied, but just smiled and said, "I have my own plans, and everything cannot be related to raising bailout funds."
"Gu Chan , I’m afraid it won’t be easy for you to raise relief funds for the Ninth Prince in the Jiangnan area.”
"Yes! There are some things in Tiancang Kingdom that are not as simple as they seem on the surface. The situation in Jiangnan is also very complicated."
"I advise you to be more careful in the future and don't encounter this kind of thing. People just say."
Everyone tried to persuade them with uncertain expressions.
Gu Chan could also understand from their words that the situation in Jiangnan was definitely not simple. As for what was hidden behind it, she didn't know at this time.
Of course, she had her own reasons for choosing to play this straight ball here and told them directly.
After all, these people are not ordinary civilians. Although they can't ask about the low-level things from their mouths, the general information may still be useful to her.
Thinking like this, Gu Chan said straightforwardly, "I'm new here, so I don't know much about the big situation here. How about you explain it to me and let me avoid pitfalls?" ?”
“No way! Don’t you know that the Jiangnan area of Tiancang Kingdom is the fiefdom of the second prince?” Wan Feiyan said suddenly.
"What? This is the second prince's fiefdom?" Gu Chan said dumbfounded.
Wan Feiyan and the others nodded.
Ma Zheng sat aside and remained silent until he heard this, then he quickly put his mouth to Gu Chan's ear and said, "It's over, boss, the prince has tricked us very deeply this time!"
"Damn it, this bitch prince is really going to kill me!" Gu Chan stiffened her face, clenched her fists and muttered to herself.
In the Tiancang Kingdom, the eldest prince and the second prince are the most advantageous contenders for the throne. The two have been fighting openly and secretly for many years. If it were not for the fact that the old emperor is still alive, I am afraid they would have fought for the throne. You die and I live.
It just so happened that this time the prince was acting as the governor, and he issued an imperial edict for her to come to the second prince's fiefdom to raise relief money for the ninth prince, and even asked for five billion taels of fucking silver.
It was not clear that the prince wanted to use her as a spearman to deal with the second prince, but also wanted to use her to harm the ninth prince?
If she fails to complete this task next, she will be allowed to stir up trouble in the Jiangnan area and put some pressure on the second prince. Then the rescuer will not be able to reach the border, and the ninth prince will also be under great pressure.
"Prince Dog, you are so damn good at killing two birds with one stone!"
Wanting to understand this, Gu Chan couldn't help cursing in her heart.
It was not until this moment that she fully understood how sinister and cunning the current crown prince was.
Wan Peng saw that Gu Chan's face turned extremely ugly, and he couldn't help but remind him, "All the imperial officials in the Jiangnan area are considered the Second Prince Party. If you want to raise border relief funds here, you should first Say hello to the Second Prince, otherwise they won’t give you this convenience.”
"Tch! Before I came here, I never thought about asking them to facilitate me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone directly to the Yushi Mansion that night and risked offending Yan Xishan to get my mysterious beast back. To put it bluntly, , since I dare to come, I will definitely fight them to the end," Gu Chan said disdainfully.
Wan Peng and Wan Feiyan looked at each other with surprised expressions on their faces.
Obviously, they never expected that a little kid like Gu Chan, who seemed harmless to humans and animals, could be so bold.
