The prince is very cruel

Chapter 402

He leaned in closer and said with a smile, "Sir, I see you are alone and from out of town. You haven't slept so late, so I came up specially. Do you need to ask a girl to come up and accompany you?"

"Don't worry, we're not a scam. Our prices are much lower than Fengyue Tower's."

"I'll bring the person here and pick him up at daybreak. I won't cause any trouble for you, sir."

Hearing this, Guan Ning was stunned for a moment.

Isn't this just pimping?

He was instantly blown away by the wind. Were there such "projects" in ancient inns?

"No thanks." He said, and was about to close the door.

boom!

But the waiter blocked it with one hand, not giving up and said, "Sir, are you really not going to take it? The girls here are all very beautiful and young. Would you like to consider it again?"

"I see that you are from another place. You must try the tenderness of our Xingyang girls." The waiter winked and almost gave a detailed description.

Guan Ning was unmoved: "No need."

He closed the door. The waiter was annoyed when he saw this. He had lost another business deal and would be scolded when he returned. But he didn't dare to knock on the door again, so he turned around and left.

But at this moment, suddenly, the door was opened by Guan Ning again.

"Sir." The waiter turned around in surprise.

"You just said... I'm from another place?" Guan Ning raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, you can tell from your accent that you are not from Xingyang. You sound like you are from the capital," said the waiter.

Guan Ning was shocked, he could hear it!

He couldn't help but feel scared. After all, he was always careless. If he met someone with ulterior motives, his accent would be a problem. Now that he was wanted, he would have to pay more attention to this issue in the future.

"Okay, take these small changes as your reward."

"Don't tell anyone else about my accent. I need to keep a low profile, understand?" He took out a few pieces of silver. He had only spoken to the waiter here. As long as the waiter kept his mouth shut, there would be no risk.

When the waiter saw this, he was overjoyed!

Generally, generous guests would just give a few copper coins as a tip, but they were nothing like Guan Ning, who gave out a few pieces of silver at once!

"Yes Yes!"

"Thank you very much, sir. Thank you very much, sir. I will never tell anyone, I swear!" The waiter was so grateful that he almost kowtowed. This was at least equivalent to one or two years' salary for him.

Xingyang was prosperous, but it had little to do with servants like them. Starting from the Zheng family, the money was deducted from every level, and by the time it came to them, they were only able to make ends meet.

This was almost the case throughout the Dawu Dynasty.

Guan Ning smiled, then closed the door, washed up briefly, and lay down on the bed.

He closed his eyes, and everything that had happened in the past few days flashed through his mind: the blood feud of the Guan family, the endless feud with Zhao Tai, and now the conflict with the Zheng family. One thing after another seemed to pull him into a vortex of right and wrong.

He had no idea about this.

After shaking his head, he made up his mind to finish the task at hand first, and deal with the rest step by step.

He didn't know when he fell into a light sleep, holding his sword in his hand, and he didn't put it down even when he was sleeping.

If Qin Yao saw this, I wonder how heartbroken she would be.

Fortunately, it was a peaceful night, and the early morning glow pierced the clouds, and everything was back to normal.

Guan Ning got up, packed up quickly, bought two meat buns on the roadside, and rushed to the west gate of the twelfth hall of the Zheng family as Yan Qing mentioned.

The so-called Twelve Halls refer to the places used by the Zheng family to accommodate their guests, which were both civil and military, and full of talented people.

Although this place is not as luxurious as the Zheng Mansion, it is built in a grand manner and everyone who comes in and out is a wealthy and well-off person.

This is also the strength of the Zheng family. Almost all people who can read and are capable are their people. This is more terrifying than monopolizing food.

After Guan Ning sent someone in to report, Yan Qing appeared just a short while later.

The two of them exchanged glances and came to a quiet and deserted place.

"How about it, Zheng Yuan doesn't suspect you, right?" Guan Ning said.

Yan Qing showed admiration on his face: "I did as you said. After I said that, Zheng Yuan's face really changed drastically. He no longer cared about my failure to kill Prince Ping."

"He also asked everyone to suspend their plans, saying they would take action after a while."

Guan Ning raised the corner of his mouth. This was something he expected. He deliberately spread the news about the Imperial Guards and used the Imperial Guards' name to make this old man restrain himself.

"very good."

As he spoke, he looked around and said straight to the point: "I have thought of a way to save your wife."

"Ah?" Yan Qing was shocked and couldn't believe it.

"You, are you serious?"

Guan Ning nodded: "I went to the Longevity Tower last night to check it out. Although I didn't find anything, I accidentally stumbled upon a scandal."

"Scandal?" Yan Qing was more and more surprised as he listened, and was somewhat shocked by Guan Ning's efficiency.

Immediately afterwards, Guan Ning told Yan Qing what happened last night.

As a senior retainer of the Zheng family, Yan Qing naturally knew Zheng Congwu and his second sister-in-law.

He was extremely shocked, and his hesitant face suddenly showed an exploded expression.

"This……"

"This……"

"That's impossible. The Zheng family rules are extremely strict. If this scandal were to be exposed, the Second Madam would be the first to die. Zheng Congwu would also be in great trouble. He would probably be imprisoned in the ancestral hall for the rest of his life!"

Guan Ning smiled, feeling relaxed and at ease, as if he had achieved something without any effort. "Yeah, think about it. If a scandal like this gets exposed, these two won't be able to live the rest of their lives in order to cover up their shame."

“So, this is our chance.”

"I remember you once said that your wife was under house arrest in the inner courtyard of the Zheng Mansion. No one knows where she is, and no one can enter the inner courtyard unless they are direct descendants of the Zheng family. Rescuing her is very difficult."

"But what if this woman helps us get the person out?"

"Given her status as the second wife, it should be easy for her to get in touch with your wife, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Yan Qing's eyes lit up, his heart was shocked, and he suddenly realized!

exclaimed: "There's a chance!"

"The chance is great!" He then frowned again, "But it's too difficult. Threatening the Second Madam could easily lead to trouble if you're not careful."

"This woman is not someone you can easily mess with. And if she knows you've discovered her scandal, she'll definitely want to kill you to silence you rather than be threatened by you."

Guan Ning raised the corner of his mouth: "Don't worry about this, I have my own way."

"I came to you because I want you to help me find out where the Second Madam will be going these days. I need a chance to see her, but not inside the Zheng Mansion."

Yan Qing gritted his teeth: "Okay!"

"I'll check for you right away."

As he said this, he was about to leave, but suddenly stopped and looked back at Guan Ning. His melancholy eyes were filled with excitement and complexity.

"The revenge on the Zheng family hasn't been settled yet, and you're helping me save people. Aren't you afraid that after the matter is accomplished, I'll just walk away?"

Guan Ning grinned, the young man full of vigor and vitality.

"A real man trusts his employees."

"I believe you."

Yan Qing was deeply moved! He used to think that everyone in this world was selfish and had no moral integrity, but Guan Ning's appearance completely changed his mind.

He said nothing, but bowed deeply, saying nothing, and then left quietly.

Only half an hour later, he received news that the wife of the second house of the Zheng family, Roland, was not at home at the moment and had gone to the Hongyi Pear Garden to listen to music.

Guan Ning rushed to the Hongyi Pear Garden without saying a word.
