"Why should I believe you?" King Yong stared at Wang Gang, as if he was considering whether this person could be trusted or not.
Wang Gang said confidently: "Your Majesty, you don't have to believe in me, as long as you believe in what I can give you."
"What you call a white hat is empty talk." King Yong said.
"Since I dare to say this, I must be prepared. I have prepared two big gifts for the prince today." Wang Gang took out a piece of paper from his sleeve again and handed it to King Yong.
King Yong took the paper, looked at it doubtfully, and then quickly closed it, his eyes widening.
Wang Gang said: "The first gift I give to the prince is the evidence of the crime of the commander of the imperial army. As long as the prince holds this evidence, he can overthrow the commander of the imperial army and cut off King Yan's right and left arm."
King Yong held the paper tightly in his hand and did not ask about the authenticity of the contents on the paper.
"Is the commander of the Forbidden Army really bribed by King Yan?"
"Your Majesty, you can go check it out yourself. I believe you can find it out." Wang Gang said confidently.
King Yong asked again: "What is your second gift?"
Wang Gang said: "My second gift is the secret recipe for making a glass vase."
King Yong's eyes lit up.
The secret recipe of the glass bottle was related to the interests of one million taels of silver a year, so King Yong could not help but be interested.
The Duke of Qi and the two marquises on the side were anxious and reluctant to part with the benefits of Liuli Ping, but they felt that they did not have the strength to compete with King Yong.
"Are you really willing to give up the secret recipe for the glass vase?" King Yong asked eagerly.
Wang Gang said: "Since I want to serve the prince, I must show my sincerity. The secret recipe of the glass bottle is my second gift to the prince."
King Yong was really not sure what Wang Gang meant.
He had just killed his bodyguards, and now he surrendered with a big gift.
King Yong even felt that Wang Gang was a little unfathomable at such a young age.
"What do you want? Or what do you want from me?" King Yong asked.
Wang Gang said: "I just passed the Jie Yuan exam and I want to try to win three Yuan in a row."
King Yong suddenly smiled and said: "Do you want to use money to buy the number one scholar?"
Wang Gang said: "I believe that everything in this world has a price, and there is nothing that money cannot buy."
King Yong suddenly felt that Wang Gang's previous inscrutability was gone now.
The boy in front of me is still too young, and his mind is full of business thinking.
"The most I can do for you is to become the Hui Yuan. As for the number one scholar, it is determined by the officials. No one can do anything about it," King Yong said.
"Then I would like to thank you, Your Majesty, for making it happen."
The two parties had finally negotiated terms, but Wang Gang did not immediately give Yong Wang the glass manufacturing technology. Instead, he agreed to give him the glass manufacturing technology after he graduated from high school.
Just as Wang Gang left Fanlou with the Duke of Qi and the two princes, another group of King Yong's men arrived.
King Yong let Wang Gang and the others leave, and then said to his subordinates: "Let me check this Sheng Changfeng carefully. It is not easy for him to raise a group of dead soldiers in Bianjing."
"Your Majesty, if you really let him go like this, those brothers' deaths were not in vain." Lu Chuan, the commander of the guards of Prince Yong's Mansion, said.
King Yong touched the piece of paper hidden in his sleeve, and an unknown light flashed in his eyes.
"This Sheng Changfeng is very mysterious. Until we find out who he is, we should stay put and bury the guards properly. Each family will be given double the amount of money."
Lu Chuan was still a little angry. Several of those dead guards were his good brothers who had gone through life and death.
"Don't worry, as long as Sheng Changfeng has no use value, I will kill him myself." King Yong said jealously.
Lu Chuan heard this and stopped trying to persuade him. He knew that once King Yong decided something, no one could change it.
Wang Gang, Duke Guo of Qi, Marquis Ningyuan and Marquis Yongyi walked together and parted ways halfway.
Before leaving, the Duke of Qi said in a strange way: "Congratulations, Mr. Sheng, for standing next to the big tree of King Yong."
Duke Guo of Qi was still blaming Wang Gang for deciding to dedicate the glaze manufacturing process to King Yong without consulting him.
Wang Gang knew human nature well and said to Qi Guogong: "Don't worry, Duke Qi. Before the Spring Festival, I will receive a lot of money from the Duke's Mansion. We will still have many opportunities for cooperation in the future."
When the Duke of Qi heard this, his expression softened slightly, and he said hello to Marquis Ningyuan and Marquis Yongyi before leaving.
After that, Marquis Yongyi also said a few words to Wang Gang, which probably meant that he wanted to take advantage of the last chance to make a fortune.
The Liuli business really fell into the hands of King Yong, and the Marquis Yongyi obviously had nothing to gain from it.
The last person to leave was Ningyuan Hou Gu Yankai. He did not mention the share of the share, but instead told Wang Gang:
"My dear nephew, King Yong is not a man of his word. You must not believe him."
Wang Gang nodded and said: "Thank you, Mr. Marquis, for reminding me. I know what I am doing."
Marquis Ning Yuan really regarded Wang Gang as his nephew and did not want him to be too naive and trust King Yong credulously.
"My dear nephew, if you need anything in the future, please come to the Marquis Mansion to find me."
"Mr. Hou, please make preparations when you get back. You should be promoted soon." Wang Gang said with a mysterious smile.
Gu Yankai was puzzled and wanted to ask, but Wang Gang remained silent and said goodbye to Gu Yankai.
"My dear nephew, you can come to Ningyuan Hou Mansion often when you are free in the future. You should have more contact with Tingye's friends."
After leaving behind a few words, Gu Yankai also said goodbye to Wang Gang.
When Wang Gang was the only one left on the street, Master Liao walked out of the shadows.
"Thank you very much, teacher, for helping me this time." Wang Gang respectfully saluted Master Liao.
Master Liao frowned and said, "This is the first and last time I will help you. How you go in the future is entirely up to you."
The men in black who killed King Yong's guards before were the ones brought by Master Liao.
"Master doesn't like my association with King Yong?" Wang Gang asked.
"You got involved in the fight for the heir at a young age. Sooner or later, you will bring the Sheng family into a place of eternal destruction." Master Liao sighed.
Wang Gang disagreed and said: "Actually, ever since my father was forced to leave Yangzhou, the Sheng family has been involved in the struggle for the right to inherit the throne, and they can't escape even if they want to."
Master Liao said coldly: "Your father Sheng Hong took the initiative to leave Yangzhou just to protect his own safety. Why should you jump into this muddy water?"
Wang Gang shook his head and said: "I will never be like my father, a tortoise with a weak head. I will not offend others unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I will pay back tenfold."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "You think you can fight against King Yong, don't forget, you have just passed the examination and are far from being able to fight against a prince."
Wang Gang said confidently: "So what, my lord? I am willing to kill myself and dare to pull the emperor off his horse."
Master Liao frowned again.
Originally, he thought Wang Gang was just a bastard with ideals, ambitions and talent.
But today Master Liao truly saw Wang Gang's true nature.
This is a lawless lord at all. He has no royal power in his heart. If this kind of person lives in troubled times, he will definitely do something.
"I will leave Sheng Mansion tomorrow, you can take care of yourself in the future!" Master Liao shook his head, feeling that he was really old.
"Where are you going, master?" Wang Gang asked.
Master Liao said: "In order to help you this time, I owe you some favors. Favor debts are the hardest to repay!"
Wang Gang said: "Do you want my help?"
Master Liao said angrily and funny: "It's not your turn to help me yet, just take care of yourself! Don't wait for me to come back, the Sheng family has copied the Nine Clans because of you."
After saying that, Master Liao disappeared into the darkness again.
The next day, when King Yong went to court, he suddenly reported to the officials that Gao Tan, the commander of the imperial army, had taken part in the martial arts competition and pretended to be an imposter. Gao Tan was not his real name at all. He was originally a gangster of the Guangxi generation.
As soon as this statement came out, the government and the public were shocked. However, King Yong did obtain evidence of Gao Tan's true identity, and he could not deny it.
The officials were also shocked and immediately ordered Gao Tan to be captured. However, Gao Tan resisted in court and even tried to hijack the officials. He was beaten to death in the end.
As soon as Gao Tan died, King Yan lost his biggest trump card, and his face was even uglier than that of his own father after he died.
King Yong took advantage of the victory and pursued the attack, hoping to place one of his own men in charge of the imperial army.
Although the official was old, he was not completely confused. He rejected King Yong's proposal and asked Ningyuan Marquis Gu Yankai to temporarily take over the post of commander of the imperial army.
Gu Yankai also didn't expect that there would be such a thing as a pie in the sky.
He suddenly remembered what Wang Gang said before.
Wang Gang could predict that the officials would let him take charge of the Imperial Army. Is this a coincidence, or is there some hidden agenda?
Gu Yankai broke into a cold sweat just thinking about it.
Although King Yong broke King Yan's arm, the commander of the imperial army did not get it, so he was naturally not in a good mood.
He also thought of Wang Gang's words. It seemed that the officials really did not want to establish either of the two kings.
"Whose position is the crown prince?" King Yong raised his head and glanced at the old officials and the chair behind him, and he had already made a decision in his heart.
After going to court, King Yong took the initiative to stop Sheng Hong who wanted to leave.
"Mr. Shanda, you were transferred from Yangzhou to Bianjing, and I haven't given you a hand yet. Today, this king will take care of you." King Yong smiled and picked up Sheng Hong, and walked out of the palace.
Sheng Hong looked flattered and full of doubts.
He has been transferred to Bianjingdu for several years, how can he come to take over the job?
