The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Chapter 366 Gifts
"Why should this king trust you?" King Yong stared at Wang Gang, as if he was considering whether this person could be trusted or not.

Wang Gang said to himself: "My lord, you don't have to trust me, just trust what I can give you."

"Your so-called white hat is empty talk." King Yong said.

"Since I dare to say this, I must be prepared. Today I have prepared two big gifts for the prince." 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 suspiciously, then quickly closed the paper, his eyes widened.

Wang Gang said: "The first big gift I gave to the prince was the criminal evidence 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 the left and right arms of King Yan."

King Yong held the paper firmly in his hands, and did not ask about the authenticity of the content on the paper.

"The commander of the imperial army was really bought by King Yan?"

"My lord, you can go and check it 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 great gift is the secret recipe for making glass bottles."

King Yong's eyes lit up.

The secret recipe of the glass bottle is related to the benefit of one million taels of silver a year, so King Yong cannot help but be indifferent.

The Duke of Qi and the two Marquis on the side were anxious, and they were even more reluctant to part with the benefits of the glass bottle, but they felt that they should not have the strength to compete with King Yong.

"Are you really willing to offer the secret recipe of the glass bottle?" King Yong asked eagerly.

Wang Gang said: "Since you want to serve the prince, you must show sincerity. The secret recipe of the glass bottle is the second great gift I give to the prince."

King Yong was really not sure what Wang Gang meant.

He killed his guards just now, 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 this king?" King Yong asked.

Wang Gang said: "I just passed the Jieyuan exam, and I want to try to win the triple yuan."

King Yong suddenly laughed and said, "Do you want to buy a champion with money?"

Wang Gang said: "I believe that everything in this world has a price, and there is nothing that cannot be bought with money."

King Yong suddenly felt that Wang Gang's previous inscrutability was gone now.

The boy in front of him is still too young, and his mind is full of businessman thinking.

"This king can at best make you a champion. As for the champion, it is decided by the official family. No one can do anything about it." King Yong said.

"Then I would like to thank the prince for fulfilling it."

The two sides negotiated a good deal. Wang Gang did not immediately give King Yong the glass manufacturing process, but agreed that he would give the glass manufacturing process after he met Yuan in high school.

Wang Gang left Fanlou with Qi Guogong and the two Hou Ye, and another group of King Yong's men arrived.

King Yong let Wang Gang and the others leave, and then said to his subordinates: "Check out this Sheng Changfeng for me. It is not easy for him to raise a group of dead soldiers in Bianjing."

"My lord, you really just let him go like this. Those brothers didn't die 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 a glint of unknown meaning flashed in his eyes.

"This Sheng Changfeng is very mysterious. Before he found out what happened to him, he stood still and buried those guards well, and each family gave double the money."

Lu Chuan was still a little upset. Several of the dead guards were his good brothers who were born and died.

"Don't worry, as long as Sheng Changfeng is useless, I will kill him myself." King Yong said with envy.

Lu Chuan stopped persuading after hearing the words, he knew that once King Yong decided, no one could change it.

Wang Gang and Qi Guogong, Ning Yuanhou and Yongyihou walked halfway together and parted.

Before leaving, Qi Guogong said in a strange way: "Congratulations, Mr. Sheng, for being next to the big tree of King Yong."

Qi Guogong was still blaming the king for not discussing with himself, so he decided to dedicate the colored glaze manufacturing process to King Yong.

Wang Gang was well aware of human nature, so he said to Qi Guogong: "Don't worry, my lord. Before the spring, I got a lot of money from the Duke's mansion. In the future, we will have a lot of opportunities for cooperation."

Duke Qi's expression softened when he heard the words, and he greeted Ning Yuanhou and Yongyihou before leaving.

Afterwards, Hou Yongyi also said a few words to Wang Gang, probably meaning that he wanted to take the last chance to make a fortune.

The colored glaze business really fell into the hands of King Yong, and the Yongyi Hou Mansion obviously had nothing to gain.

The last one to leave was Gu Yankai, Marquis of Ningyuan. He didn't mention the share, but instead told Wang Gang:
"Nephew, King Yong is not a man who keeps his word, so don't trust him."

Wang Gang nodded and said: "Thank you for the reminder, Lord Hou, the kid knows it well."

Marquis Ning Yuan really regarded Wang Gang as his nephew, and he didn't want him to be too naive to trust King Yong.

"Nephew, if you need anything in the future, just come to the Marquis Mansion to find me."

"Master Hou also prepares when he goes back, you should be promoted soon." Wang Gang said with a mysterious smile.

Gu Yankai was puzzled and wanted to ask, but Wang Gang kept silent and bid farewell to Gu Yankai.

"Nephew is free in the future, so he can come to Ningyuan Hou's mansion often. You and Ting Ye's friends should have more contacts."

Leaving a word, Gu Yankai also parted from Wang Gang.

When Wang Gang was left alone on the street, Master Liao came out from the shadows.

"Thank you, Teacher, for your help this time." Wang Gang saluted Master Liao respectfully.

Master Liao frowned and said: "This is the first time and the last time I will help you. How you will go in the future depends entirely on you."

The men in black who killed King Yong's guards were exactly the ones Master Liao had found.

"Master doesn't like my association with King Yong?" Wang Gang asked back.

"You have been involved in the struggle for succession since you were young, and sooner or later you will bring the Sheng family to a place of eternal doom." 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 a struggle for succession, and they can't escape even if they want to."

Master Liao said in a cold voice, "Your father Sheng Hong left Yangzhou on his own initiative, just to protect himself, why did you take the initiative to jump into this muddy water?"

Wang Gang shook his head and said, "I will never be like my father. I will never be a coward. If no one offends me, I will not offend. If anyone offends me, I will pay back ten times."

"You think you can beat King Yong, don't forget, you just passed the exam, and you are far from being able to fight a prince."

Wang Gang said to himself: "So what about the prince, he dared to drag the emperor off his horse."

Master Liao frowned again.

Originally, he thought that Wang Gang was just a bastard with ideals, ambitions and talents.

But today, Master Liao really saw Wang Gang's true nature.

This is a lawless lord at all, and 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 the Sheng Mansion tomorrow, so you can take care of yourself in the future!" Master Liao shook his head, feeling really old.

"Where is Master going?" Wang Gang asked.

Master Liao said: "To help you this time, I owe some favors. Favor debts are the hardest to repay!"

Wang Gang said, "Do you want me to help?"

Master Liao said angrily and amusedly: "It's not your turn to help me yet, so take care of yourself! Don't wait for me to come back, the Sheng family copied the Nine Clans because of you."

After speaking, Master Liao hid in the darkness again.

The next day, when King Yong came to the 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 had impersonated him. Gao Tan was not his real name at all.

As soon as this remark came out, the government and the public were shocked, but King Yong did get the evidence of Gao Tan's true identity, so he couldn't deny it.

The officials were also shocked, and immediately ordered Gao Tan to be taken down. As a result, Gao Tan resisted in court, and even tried to hijack the officials, and was beaten to death in the end.

As soon as Gao Tan died, King Yan lost his biggest hole card, and his face was uglier than that of his dead father.

King Yong took advantage of the victory to pursue the attack, and wanted to place his own person in charge of the imperial army.

Although the officials were old, they were not completely confused, so they rejected King Yong's proposal and asked Ningyuan Hou Gu Yankai to temporarily act as the commander of the imperial army.

Gu Yankai didn't expect that there is really a good thing in the sky.

He suddenly remembered what Wang Gang had said before.

Wang Gang was able to predict that the officials would let him take charge of the Imperial Army. Is this a coincidence, or is there something else going on?
Gu Yankai broke into a cold sweat thinking about it.

Although King Yong cut off King Yan's arm, the commander of the forbidden army didn't 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 didn't want to establish either of the two kings.

"Then whose position is the crown prince?" King Yong looked up at the old official family and the chair behind him, and he had already made a decision in his heart.

After coming down to court, King Yong took the initiative to stop Sheng Hong who wanted to leave.

"Master Sheng, you have transferred from Yangzhou to Bianjing. I haven't cleaned up the dust for you yet. The king will make up for it today." King Yong smiled and pulled Sheng Hong up, and walked out of the palace.

Sheng Hong looked flattered and puzzled.

He has been transferred to Bianjing for several years, so how can he talk about it?
