Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Chapter 317 Exchange of Secrets

"My Lord, I heard that they are from the underworld, but the leader has a big beard and is said to look like the second leader of the Flying Tiger Gang in Yandang Mountain near the capital."

The housekeeper had no choice but to report all the news he heard to Wang Zhuo.

There was no way. The outside world was in chaos, especially the road Yan Nangui took. There were many people following him on the road, saying all kinds of things.

He just went out to take a look and heard a lot of discussions.

"Flying Tiger Gang?" Wang Zhuo repeated, "Oh no, oh no, hurry up, help me up."

Wang Zhuo was so anxious that he lost strength in his legs again. He struggled to let Sun Xingzhi and the housekeeper help him up.

"I want to find Ze'er, take me there quickly." Wang Zhuo shouted anxiously.

"Father... Sir, at this time, the city gates are not open yet. What should we do..."

When Sun Xingzhi saw Wang Zhuo like this, he felt sorry for him, but he had to remind him.

"It's okay, I have a badge, I..." Wang Zhuo had just said half of his words when he felt a fishy and sweet taste in his throat, and a mouthful of blood blocked his throat.

But he forced himself to suppress it again, and said in a slow tone, "Go and prepare the car, go quickly."

The butler nodded and trotted out.

Why? Why did Ze'er do such a thing? Doesn't he know the consequences of doing so?

How could such hasty action possibly succeed?

Sun Xingzhi helped Wang Zhuo sit on the chair again, and then said,

"When I went to see Prince An yesterday, I heard him say that he would rush into the city when the gates opened today. He should be on his way now, and he should be at the city gates in another half an hour."

Wang Zhuo couldn't help but sigh again after hearing this, "I hope this matter has nothing to do with Ze'er, otherwise, the emperor will not just put him under house arrest this time."

"Hey, you shouldn't have come back. You should have come back with him."

At this time, Wang Zhuo was reluctant to complain about Li Junze, but instead blamed Sun Xingzhi.

Sun Xingzhi felt sad when he heard this, but he admitted his fault on the surface, "Yes, it's all Zhier's fault. Zhier will pay more attention next time."

Wang Zhuo looked up at the submissive Sun Xingzhi, but he was in no mood to comfort him.

The butler quickly prepared the carriage and took them all the way to the west gate of the capital.

With Wang Zhuo's previous badge, they left the city smoothly and met Li Junze less than five miles away from the capital.

Li Junze only brought more than forty guards and a carriage, which was considered a small entourage. When he saw his grandfather's carriage, he quickly jumped out of the carriage.

"Grandfather, why are you here?" Li Junze asked guiltily.

"Come in." Wang Zhuo's voice came out before the curtain of the carriage was opened.

Then the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and it turned out that Sun Xingzhi asked him to get in, while he himself avoided the carriage and got off.

"Ze'er, was it you who arranged what happened at the Dali Temple last night?" Wang Zhuo asked straight to the point when he saw Li Junze getting in the car.

When Li Junze got on the carriage, he saw Wang Zhuo lying on the seat. His posture was very uncomfortable and his overall condition was not good. He looked haggard and tired.

He didn't want to admit it at first, but seeing his grandfather like this, Mr. Xin couldn't help but feel a pain.

"Grandfather, yes, that thing was arranged by Ze'er. Although it has failed, they will definitely not find out about Prince An's Mansion."

Li Junze made this assurance with confidence, which was also the reason why he could remain so calm even after knowing he had failed.

Moreover, even if Wang Zhuo did not come to find him, he planned to arrange someone to pass a message to his grandfather after entering the city, asking him not to take action against Gu Qiongsi first.

Wang Zhuo looked at Li Junze, not knowing how to explain the impact of this matter to him. He took a few deep breaths, calmed down his anger, and then asked,

"Are you doing these things for Gu Qiongsi?"

Even though his Ze'er had disobeyed him in the past, he would never be so reckless. On the way here just now, he had thought about it all the way, and the only possibility was Gu Qiongsi.

"Grandfather, no, it's not like that. This matter has nothing to do with Si'er. It was all my own idea."

Li Junze was worried that if he admitted it, Gu Qiongsi would be killed, so he waved his hands in fear.

Wang Zhuo shook his head helplessly, "Is it because of Hu Er?"

After hearing this, Li Junze didn't know how to answer, because he really didn't know how to bring up the matter between Hu Er and them to his grandfather.

So he could only lower his head and refused to say anything.

"Hey, Ze'er, you and I have been grandparents for more than ten years. Are you going to keep it a secret from grandfather?" When Wang Zhuo saw his look, he knew what was going on.

So he could only say, "Zer, tell me the truth about what happened. I also have a big secret about you to tell you. How about we exchange?"

Li Junze raised his head and looked at his grandfather's face, and couldn't help but think of the years they had spent together.

His current status, including the title of King An, was obtained at the instruction of his grandfather.

He really was planning for himself wholeheartedly, but I was still thinking about how to do things behind his back all day long.

It's really too inappropriate.

Just as he was hesitating to find a name, Wang Zhuo coughed again. Li Junze hurried forward to help him calm down.

But he saw that there was a little blood on the handkerchief that Wang Zhuo used to cover his mouth.

Seeing this, Li Junze felt regretful and knelt down in front of Wang Zhuo, saying, "Grandfather, please save me. Grandfather, you must save me."

Wang Zhuo stretched out his hand and pulled him up. "As long as you are willing to tell me, grandpa will definitely help you solve it."

After hearing what he said, Li Junze calmed down a bit and said,

"About three months before the last imperial examination, someone approached Ze'er and said that if they knew the exam questions in advance, even if it was just an idea, they would be able to get the top spot. At that time, they would definitely serve Ze'er wholeheartedly."

"Zer didn't agree at the time, but later the other party took out a few very wonderful poems. Zeer then felt that if such a person could be used by himself, he would definitely be more powerful, so, so..."

He didn't say anything else, but Wang Zhuo already knew what he meant.

"Xie Cheng'an was chosen as the top scholar that year because of the line in his essay, 'Be the first to worry about the world's worries, and the last to enjoy the world's happiness'. It stood out among all the essays. It turns out that you leaked the topic to him in advance?"

Li Junze nodded, then quickly shook his head, "Ze'er didn't tell him the topic, he just told him a direction. And that Hu Er was the one who helped them pass the message."
