Chapter 73 Boiled Frogs in Warm Water

In the Tongming Lane, which was not yet at the moment, the sun was quite dazzling, but under the shade of the dense orange trees, there was also some coolness. But Gu Shiyan's heart was quite panicked at this moment, and fine beads of sweat crawled all over her cheeks.

She looked at Jiang Tingyu, who was sitting opposite him smiling and drinking tea in a little panic.

Although those words were spoken in a very calm tone, and Gu Shiyan could not deny it, the breath from Jiang Tingyu made her feel a little breathless, and she couldn't even say a word of refutation.

She picked up the teacup in front of her, drank silently, and struggled to follow her dry throat, before she could recover a little calm.

Jiang Tingyu just looked at Gu Shiyan with a smile and said again: "You took a thousand taels of gold from Tianxing Gambling, but Tianxing Gambling did nothing. You were just drawing your sword to ask for money under the banner of making some money. Tianxing Gambling swallowed his anger, and there was obviously someone instructing him. In the end, Wang Tianxing couldn't help but attack you with Guan Muyun's appearance."

"Can you tell me why you are staring at Tianxing Gamblinghouse?"

Gu Shiyan remained silent.

Jiang Tingyu said: "You can choose to be silent, but the person behind Tianxing Gambling has already set his sights on you. Do you think you have the ability to fight against it? Just a little Wang Tianxing can send you to Jingzhao Mansion with a trick. How do you solve such a problem?"

Seeing Gu Shiyan still not speaking, Jiang Tingyu said again: "Li Mengzhou is a spy from Tianshuyuan, codenamed Qingjiu. You can trust me completely. As long as what you do does not violate my principles or the principles of Jiang Guo, I can help you solve all the troubles afterwards. You can continue to do what you want to do."

Gu Shiyan's expression changed slightly. She stared at Jiang Tingyu in a daze, was silent for a long time, and said softly: "Li Mengzhou and I got a list in Yanzi Town, and Wang Tianxing was also on the list."

Jiang Tingyu frowned slightly and said, "What list?"

Gu Shiyan reached out to her arms, took out the list and placed it in front of Jiang Tingyu.

She put her hands under the table with a little nervousness. This was just her expedient approach, otherwise it would be difficult to escape from Jiang Tingyu. In fact, her real thoughts and what she wanted to do were impossible to tell Jiang Tingyu like this.

However, although Jiang Tingyu's face was very calm and his words were very kind, the invisible oppression in the atmosphere still made Gu Shiyan shocked. She could only try her best to keep calm, but in fact, she was still very panicked, and all this was seen by Jiang Tingyu.

He didn't say anything, just looked at the list silently.

Dan Tai Jing's name is also on it.

There are also many court officials on this list, even people like Wang Tianxing.

Jiang Tingyu's expression was a little solemn.

Even though Gu Shiyan had no explanation, he could still connect some things from these names.

He hesitated for a moment, handed the list to Qingyi standing next to him, and said to Gu Shiyan: "I'll leave the list, you should have no objection, this is also good to you."

Gu Shiyan nodded. Since she had taken out the list, she never thought about taking it back.

Jiang Tingyu said calmly: "I've been more stable recently. Don't do anything when I stay in Chaosi Lane."

Gu Shiyan was slightly stunned. She thought Jiang Tingyu would continue to ask. Although she couldn't figure it out, she also breathed a sigh of relief.

Because if Jiang Tingyu really asked again, she really didn't know how to make up a credible lie for a while.

Qingyi raised his head at this time, looked silently outside the courtyard wall, then glanced at Jiang Tingyu again, and continued to bow his head without saying a word.

Jiang Tingyu poured another cup of tea for Gu Shiyan and said, "After drinking this cup of tea, let's go."

Gu Shiyan held up the teacup and felt a little nervous, thinking that she was worthy of being the head of Tianshu Courtyard, which was really terrible.

She vaguely felt that Jiang Tingyu had already known something. The feeling made her feel very uncomfortable, and her hands holding the teacup were slightly trembling.

......

Prince Lu’s Mansion.

Qin Chengyi, who was sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard, looked extremely calm. Even Song Yidao, who had been with Qin Chengyi for many years, didn't know what His Highness was thinking at this moment.

Wang Tianxing went to Chaosi Lane to kill Gu Shiyan but was killed by Gu Shiyan. This matter also belonged to Qin Chengyi's arrangement.

The purpose is of course that what the preface says is that Gu Shiyan killed someone to silence her because of her deeds.

But Wang Tianxing is a top-grade cultivator in the fourth realm. Although Wang Tianxing is bound to die, he will definitely not be willing to give up before his death. Even if he subconsciously does his best, Gu Shiyan can still easily kill Wang Tianxing, which means that she may have reached the peak of the fourth realm.

Although Qin Chengyi did not think about how to treat Gu Shiyan at first, it was just a game. By the way, it would be better if Gu Shiyan's purpose for Tianxing Gambling House could be explored, but it was a bit beyond Qin Chengyi's expectations that Liu Feiyu had used Jiang Tingyu's mouth to help Gu Shiyan testify.

The so-called Tianxing Gambling House is a secret chess lurking in the capital of Beiyan. Of course, it is a traitor. No one knows this better than Qin Chengyi.

Compared to why Liu Feiyu helped Gu Shiyan testify, Qin Chengyi cared more about Jiang Tingyu.

Song Yidao suddenly spoke at this time, "Your Highness, Gu Shiyan came out of Jingzhao Mansion and went to Tongming Lane. It was Jiang Tingyu's residence in the capital, and there was a spiritual energy blocking the world. No one could notice anything inside, but our people could see the situation in Tongming Lane clearly."

Qin Chengyi said lightly: "The so-called clearness is nothing but what Jiang Tingyu wants you to know, and he doesn't want you to know. You can't see or hear it no matter what."

Song Yidao was silent for a moment. The fact was indeed the case. When he heard about the situation in Tongming Lane, it was somewhat different from the time Gu Shiyan was staying in Tongming Lane. What they heard and saw was definitely not everything.

"The list in Yue Shiting's hands was indeed in Gu Shiyan's hands, and she handed the list to Jiang Tingyu."

Qin Chengyi narrowed his eyes and said, "Jiang Tingyu may not know who is spying outside, but he obviously deliberately wants the person who spying to see this. This is a silent warning. It is impossible to get the list in Jiang Tingyu's hands."

"Jiang Tingyu is the head of Tianshu Courtyard. Even if the incident where a man from the mountain hides in the palace to murder the queen, he has not allowed His Majesty to have a grudge against Jiang Tingyu. He is still the person he trusts the most. With his ability, he may be able to detect something from that list, but it does not make any sense. But at least we can't act rashly anymore. This thing is just pretending that it hasn't happened."

Song Yidao nodded slightly and did not speak anymore.

This matter obviously became a bit complicated. Although Jiang Tingyu's reputation is very famous, Song Yidao actually did not take him much in mind. It cannot be denied that Jiang Tingyu's power in the court is very strong, especially because he is favored by His Majesty the Emperor, and he will never be careless.

He was looking forward to one day he would be able to draw his sword to Jiang Tingyu in front of him.

......

......

Baihong Town.

Taojia Winery.

When Tao Shi discussed the conditions with the Tong family siblings and revealed his true thoughts, the Tong family siblings waved their sleeves and left angrily, especially Tong Lu, cursing Tao Shi in person, but Tao Shi didn't care about these things. He thought that his winery was about to cooperate with Taiqinglou of the Ye clan. As long as Tong Xin's mind remained unchanged, he would agree to this condition sooner or later.

After all, the Tao family is about to rise, and even the richest man in Baihong Town can be taken seriously. The only one who can rely on is their Tao family.

He wanted to boil the frog in warm water, and his attitude had been put out. It depends on how Tong Xin chose. He is not in a hurry at all now.

But out of caution, Tao Shi also secretly sent someone to investigate Li Mengzhou to see if his identity is really fine.

Li Mengzhou did live in a dilapidated alley, and Tao Shi also sent people to Jinzhou to find out. Only by confirming it in Taiqinglou, Jinzhou would Tao Shi feel at ease. Because Jinzhou is not close to Baihong Town, even if it is fast, it will not be possible to return in a few days. Although he is eager to cooperate with Taiqinglou, Tao Shi tried his best to delay the time in order to determine Li Mengzhou's identity on the grounds of preparing wine.

He was also a little nervous about this. After all, if Li Mengzhou's identity is not a problem, his deliberate delay of time will also be accompanied by great risks.

He had already said that he would complete Li Mengzhou's explanation as quickly as possible, but he couldn't take out the wine for a long time and could not make sense.

Fortunately, Li Mengzhou didn't seem to be very anxious, so Tao Shi could only do things tacitly and did not dare to explain to Li Mengzhou on his own initiative.

As a result, several days passed.

Of course, Li Mengzhou also understood what Tao Shi was doing. If Tao Shi really believed that he had said that without any investigation, he would probably not be able to develop Tao Family Winery to the top in Baihong Town.

It was just because the reputation of the Ye clan Taiqinglou was too high that it was quite shocking to Tao Shi, which made him dare not have any other thoughts at the beginning, but he would definitely further confirm Li Mengzhou's identity in secret.

But as Tao Shi was entangled, Jinzhou is not close to Baihong Town, so Li Mengzhou certainly could not wait for Tao Shi to find the problem. When he felt that the time was almost done, he set off directly to walk towards Tao Family Winery.

His real purpose is to "rob the rich and help the poor", rather than just accompanying Tao Shi to play games. Since he decided to do it, he would of course do things. But in other words, although Tao Shi was a profiteer and also harmed many people in Baihong Town, he did not cause any life after all. Li Mengzhou could not destroy the Tao family directly, but taking away half of the Tao family's assets was not a problem.

It’s not that Li Mengzhou is ruthless, but that this matter has been done. If he doesn’t do anything, Tao Shi will definitely take revenge. Even if Li Mengzhou doesn’t care about Tao Shi’s revenge at all, it’s very troublesome. So in order to avoid trouble, Tao Shi can only be a big trouble. Who made him targeted by Li Mengzhou?
