Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Wen Baicao didn't care about the Eighth Prince's rudeness, and said calmly: "Even if I am a businessman, I can still have the upper hand in the negotiation with the Ninth Prince."

When the Eighth Prince heard his confident words, a slight chill appeared on his face, but his thoughts were racing.

The reason he looked at Wen Baicao differently was because of Tu Zhizhi. Later, Tu Zhizhi was thrown into jail, but Wen Baicao was not implicated because he was attracted by his own abilities.

He originally wanted to find time to have a good talk with Wen Baicao, but he didn't expect Wen Baicao to come to him on her own initiative and even say such words.

"How do you plan to gain his trust?" The Eighth Prince suppressed his doubts and asked curiously.

His understanding of Wen Baicao was that he was a businessman. He was puzzled that a businessman wanted to meet Lao Jiu with such confidence.

"As long as Your Highness is willing, the Ninth Prince will trust me when he sees me." Wen Baicao said with a smile.

The expression on the Eighth Prince's face froze, he couldn't believe what he heard.

Han Yi on the side was also quite surprised. He subtly raised his eyes to look at Wen Baicao, and seeing that he looked calm, he was speechless in his heart, but did not show any expression on his face. He just lowered his head quickly to avoid letting people notice the emotional changes on his face.

Wen Baicao was very sensitive to people's gazes and couldn't help but look at him.

Seeing him lower his head and brows, showing a loyal attitude, Wen Baicao narrowed his eyes dangerously, then pointed at him and said, "This soldier looks very strong. If Your Highness has thought it through, you might as well let him escort me to see the Ninth Prince."

"Okay." The Eighth Prince had all kinds of bad guesses in his mind, but he was no match for Wen Baicao's words that he wanted to take the risk.

He would rather let Wen Baicao give it a try than expose him.

"Your Highness, this is inappropriate." Han Yi thought that at most he was eavesdropping on the plans of the Eighth Prince and Wen Baicao, but he didn't expect that in the end the matter would be related to him.

He was anxious in his heart but dared not show it on his face. He just pretended to be happy and conflicted, and stared at the Eighth Prince with fear.

He hoped that the Eighth Prince would change his mind, but his inner desire to find out what Wen Baicao was planning urged him to agree.

"It's settled." The Eighth Prince would never take a soldier of lowly status seriously, so no matter how well Han Yi put on the frightened expression on his face, the Eighth Prince simply ignored him.

This feeling of being ignored is very subtle. Fortunately, Han Yi is not a soldier loyal to the Eighth Prince, otherwise he would feel aggrieved facing this situation.

"I will follow the orders of the Eighth Prince." Han Yi's attitude was respectful and his gesture was gentle and polite, as if he really regarded himself as a soldier of the Eighth Prince.

Wen Baicao looked at him with a gloomy expression, and then said earnestly: "In order to avoid more trouble at night, I plan to meet the Ninth Prince tonight."

Han Yi felt a sharp gaze falling on him, and his heart began to beat wildly.

He knew very well that Wen Baicao was staring at him.

"Are you sure?" The Eighth Prince felt strange when he heard that the time was so urgent.

He looked Wen Baicao up and down and found that he was wearing ordinary cloth clothes, with a head full of white hair and a face full of wrinkles. He was afraid that he would not be able to find him in a crowd, and he immediately became nervous.

Wen Baicao looked like an ordinary businessman. Even if he wanted to use his name to meet Lao Jiu, Lao Jiu had met all kinds of talented people. How could he possibly get what he wanted?

Could it be that he has other plans besides using his name?

When this thought flashed through his mind, the Eighth Prince's heart was filled with alarm bells. The desire to stop the man surged like a wave, but it could not defeat his desire to use him.

He took a deep breath and calmed himself down, then said in a puzzled tone, "I will allow you to do what you want, but I will not allow you to ruin my reputation."

In order to find out the background of the Ninth Prince's stationing outside the city, the Eighth Prince could only force himself to ignore the doubts brought by Wen Baicao.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness. I will do my best to ensure that the Ninth Prince will not misunderstand you."

Knowing the Eighth Prince's thoughts clearly, Wen Baicao made a promise for him straightforwardly and then left with Han Yi.

Seeing him leaving with only one person, the Eighth Prince seemed to want to say something but hesitated to say anything. He just asked the others to continue guarding the city wall and report to him immediately at Prince Yong's Mansion if they found any movement outside.

"If Wen Baicao returns safely, you must also inform me as soon as possible." The Eighth Prince thought for a moment and added, then hurried off to find Ye Yun.

"Do you know Wen Baicao?" The Eighth Prince asked quickly as he saw Ye Yun.

"Isn't he Tu Zhizhi's man?" Ye Yun was almost going crazy today. However, there was one good thing about his busyness, which was that there were some unusual movements by the person secretly inserted by the Ninth Prince.

He followed the clues, arrested some people, and through interrogating them, he learned why Li Ye betrayed Tu Zhizhi.

He was just planning to look for the Eighth Prince, but he didn't expect that he would come to him on his own initiative and even mentioned a lowly merchant.

"He is indeed Tu Zhizhi's man, but after I put Tu Zhizhi in jail, he was not nervous at all and even wanted to help me."

When the Eighth Prince said this, there was a strong hint of sarcasm on his face.

"This guy seems to treat me as a fool. Not only does he talk a lot to himself, but he also plans to use me to please Lao Jiu."

When Ye Yun heard this, his face was full of surprise: "How dare he?"

The Eighth Prince nodded solemnly: "Not only did he dare, he also asked me to take a soldier away."

"Although I don't care about a soldier, his self-righteous attitude is really excessive. I can't help but feel angry."

"However, when I think about the situation on Lao Jiu's side, I feel like I'm blind. I can only suppress my anger and let him have his way."

When Ye Yun heard the Eighth Prince's unwilling words, there was a subtle emotion in his heart, but his face remained calm. He only asked: "Isn't this Wen Baicao just a businessman?"

Glancing at the Eighth Prince, Ye Yun said, "Your Highness, why don't you just ask him directly? Or send someone you trust to follow him."

The Eighth Prince shook his head. "He sounded quite confident and didn't look like an ordinary businessman. I asked him to go to Old Nine because I wanted to find out his bottom line."

"Cousin, before he came, someone reported to me that he had met Tu Zhizhi, and Li Ye also died after he met him. I suspect he contributed to the incident, or he is the murderer."

Upon hearing this speculation, Ye Yun's eyelids twitched slightly, and his face unconsciously became solemn, "Your Highness, are you suspecting that Tu Zhizhi used Wen Baicao to divert your attention? But the fact that Li Ye died is a bit of a cover-up."

"I suspect that Li Ye is using his own death to cover up the real murderer. Tu Zhizhi is truly wronged this time."

The Eighth Prince was stunned when he heard this. He thought Ye Yun would take this opportunity to throw dirty water on Tu Zhizhi, but he didn't expect that he would speak for Tu Zhizhi.

Quickly adjusting his mood, the Eighth Prince said solemnly: "Whether Tu Zhizhi was wronged or not does not depend on what we think, but on what the person behind the scenes will do."
