Chapter 161 Gu Family Intentions
"So this is the purpose of the person behind this. He wants to steal the good things from the Jiang family and destroy the Jiang family." Lu Xingyan's face was gloomy, but he also knew that greed and viciousness are the norm for people in the world.
"That's because they know they can't rob directly, so they use roundabout tactics. Such insidious tactics are usually only used by the Fifth Princess."
He Jing also came back, "Fifty copies of the document have been written and posted."
"It seems that this Fifth Princess is quite capable." Jiang Changle also became curious about the Fifth Princess. She was too pretentious and kept staring at the food in her bowl.
How did this damned child want to die? She didn't think I dared to kill her.
"Princess, you're wrong. The Fifth Princess is just an ordinary person. The powerful ones behind her are Gu Ci, Prime Minister Gu, and the Gu family's cronies."
When Gu Ci was still Jiang Changle's fiancé, Nanny Mu had experienced Gu Ci and the Gu family's methods many times. They were a terrifying existence that even the empress was wary of.
Later, for some unknown reason, the Gu family suddenly became cold towards the Fourth Princess, and Gu Ci, under the title of the Fourth Princess's fiancé, had ambiguous relationships with the Fifth Princess and even the Eldest Princess.
The Fourth Princess was anxious and angry at that time. She was against the Fifth Princess, the Eldest Princess and other princesses all day long. She wanted to kill anyone who had contact with Gu Ci.
Later, he was defeated on the battlefield and eventually exiled, which led to the current Jiang Changle.
So Nanny Mu was actually quite afraid that Jiang Changle would see Gu Ci again. If she went crazy for that man again, what would happen to the beastly husbands of the Jiang family? What would happen to the children? And they, the Black Dragon Guard, would probably also face difficulties.
Naturally, the Black Dragon Guards would obey without resistance, even if the princess told them to die.
"Then it seems that Gu Ci and the Fifth Princess are truly in love. He is willing to go to such lengths for the Fifth Princess, regardless of his reputation." Isn't this planning for the future of the two?
Jiang Changle thought, the Xuan family is good at divination, they should have figured out something, right? The second princess must have a chance, so the Xuan family is betting on her.
From this perspective, Gu Ci is not after the throne, so if that's not his true love for the Fifth Princess, then what is it?
But what Jiang Changle didn't know was that there is a word called "force" in this world. The princess is of noble status, so what's wrong with her forcing one or two beastly husbands?
And as for Gu Ci, is it really for love?
Nanny Mu shook her head, "No, what can I say about Gu Ci? On the surface, he's a good guy, nice to everyone, but he's also aloof and doesn't care about anyone.
When he was with the Fourth Princess before, he was just fulfilling his duties as a fiancé, and I didn't see much enthusiasm in him.
He also had the love and responsibility of a monarch to the eldest princess, and often explained the allusions in articles to her.
In addition to the relationship between the ruler and his subjects, he also developed a tolerance and a strange feeling towards the Fifth Princess, which was more of a pure friendship and less of a romantic relationship.
The Black Dragon Guards had analyzed this matter privately for the princess, so the person who knew Gu Ci best was Nanny Mu.
Xuan Qing laughed when he heard this, "Now that you put it, Madam, I understand. This guy is playing around with all the princesses, it's certainly not out of love.
Gu Ci is trying to sow discord and intensify the feelings between the princesses. In the royal internal strife, those outsiders will naturally benefit.
I think the Gu family might be planning to rebel against the Eastern Dynasty.
This is also the increasingly intense trend of the right wing of Xuanmen. They are already quite dissatisfied with the ruling dynasty of the Fox Clan.
The specific special abilities of the Fox Royal Family are unknown to outsiders, but the Eastern Dynasty is constantly declining. Some even say that the Royal Family's unworthiness is causing more and more orcs to become infertile.
But in fact, it was the environment of the beast world that caused the inability to have children. Isn’t it the same in other dynasties?
The fall of the Eastern Dynasty was actually caused by the excessive ambition of its ministers and constant internal strife. It had a certain relationship with the royal family, but it was not the decisive factor.
This is the idea that has been debated endlessly by left-wing and right-wing intellectuals. Xuanqing mentioned this to everyone for the first time.
"Suck! Rampant, my wife, you see, Gu Ci has bad intentions towards everyone, don't be fooled by him again."
Lu Xingyan hugged Jiang Changle's arm, and whenever he got the chance he would remind her to stay away from the scumbag.
"Okay, I'll kill him next time I see him, okay?" Jiang Changle laughed.
Well, that’s not the case. If Gu Ci died unclearly, it might just give the Gu family an excuse to rebel.
"Okay, okay, we've finished setting things up, everyone, please get off the bus and have dinner."
Chu Weifeng pushed open the car door and drove all the beastly men out of the car, and then he brought the hot meal to Jiang Changle.
For a moment, the aroma of meat from the open space wafted far away, scaring the city residents into closing their doors.
Look, the Jiang family caravan is eating orc flesh again. The miners buried in the mines were eaten in this way, as were the orcs who froze to death or starved to death in the winter.
Otherwise, how could the mine owners become so rich? They were all selling dead bodies.
I have to say that some people are willing to walk into a dead end, and even ten cows can't pull them back.
After the Jiang family caravan had eaten and drunk their fill, they left some people to keep watch while the others fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Jiuliu City was in an uproar again.
Huh? The Fourth Princess had actually encountered such danger when she went to the battlefield. Not only was she cut off from food supplies, but rescue was deliberately delayed, ultimately delaying the battle and causing the massacre of the entire border town.
The orc meat they ate was also deliberately framed by someone, the soles of their rubber shoes were made of rubber, and the fertility pills were made of precious medicine from the wild forest.
Is this true? Just when everyone was hesitating and discussing it.
At this time, even more explosive news came out. The county lord had embezzled public funds and taxes in huge amounts. The silver was found by the defense forces in the secret room of the county lord's house and was now being carried out.
Moreover, it was the county lord who accepted bribes and instructions from others to slander and suppress the Jiang family caravan.
At this point, it no longer matters whether the products produced by the Jiang family contain orc bodies. At least the hurdle in the hearts of the citizens has been comforted and smoothed out.
Furthermore, even if they don’t wear rubber-soled shoes, fertility drugs are indispensable. Who doesn’t want to have more children so that they can get material subsidies from the dynasty?
So, while the county government was still in turmoil, some merchants in the city hurriedly approached Lu Xingyan, wanting to continue their business cooperation with the Jiang family.
"Boss Lu, you saw it too. We were forced to do this. If we don't do it, the county lady won't let us go."
The Jiang family's business was very profitable, and once the news spread, everyone wanted to pick up the business.
"Yes, yes, the county lady has really screwed us over. I'm willing to purchase the goods at a higher cost. I beg Boss Lu to be flexible."
The county lord has fallen, so who cares about their business? They can make a lot of money, so even if they have to pay a little more, it is worth it.
Lu Xingyan smiled coldly, "Oh, that's not what you said last night when you wanted double compensation.
Our Jiang family's goods are dirty and unworthy of being enjoyed by people from Jiuer County. Get out of here now, or else, ha!"
The Jiang family’s goods are no longer for sale!
Who dares to snatch it? You have to defeat the Black Dragon Guards first~
