Chapter 223 The Smart Second Prince

Putting the treasure in the hands of one force is the most unreliable. Jiang Youzhen is not a court official and does not need to take sides. So she can put pressure on more parties. No matter who comes to power in the future, she will be able to stand firm.

Don't tell her that those who sit on the fence will have a bad ending. She is just a small person at the bottom of society and you can't put all your eggs in one basket.

After thinking about it, Wen Ruyu didn't have much capital. If he paid for it himself, the other party's self-esteem might not allow it. If he borrowed money, Wen Ruyu would inevitably feel uncomfortable and feel that he was taken advantage of.

"I saw Senior Brother Wen copying books in a bookstore before, and I think he is suitable for this kind of livelihood."

Wen Ruyu's eyes dimmed. He just felt that copying books was too slow to make money, so he spoke up. He forced a smile, thinking that Jiang Youzhen was rejecting him.

"Then find a similar business. I know a business that is related to this, and I think you should be able to do it."

Wen Ruyu's eyes suddenly lit up, "Junior brother, please speak!"

Jiang Youzhen smiled slightly, "Brother, have you read the storybook?"

Wen Ruyu's face immediately turned red all the way to his neck, and even his ears began to turn red. He said in a whisper, "I haven't read it, but I heard that it's all about talented men and beautiful women. Junior brother, do you want me to write a storybook? I'm afraid I can't do it."

Jiang Youzhen was a little confused, "I haven't seen it either, so they are all about talented men and beautiful women?"

Isn't there a lack of storybooks in this world?

Speaking of this, Huang Xue Ning became excited. "I've seen it, I've seen it. It's indeed a story about a talented scholar and a beautiful woman. For example, the poor scholar and the daughter of a wealthy family, the vixen repaying a favor, the famous prostitute in the brothel and the down-and-out scholar, etc. It's also very exciting!"

Jiang Youzhen glanced at Huang Xuening, his eyes full of warning. Huang Xuening was a little confused, and when he turned his head, he saw Jiang Jiawang looking at him with wide eyes and a look of curiosity, and he immediately understood.

After hearing this, Wen Ruyu's face became even hotter, almost bleeding.

"If it's this, I really can't write it." He really couldn't imagine it and felt embarrassed.

I didn't expect that Wen Ruyu was so innocent? Seeing that the other person's pale face was now full of blush, I felt that this boy was quite pretty.

"Why do you have to write all this? Brother, do you know the Classic of Mountains and Seas?"

Wen Ruyu nodded, "I have read it!"

"Let's write a ghost story! Isn't such a mysterious story attractive? Brother, you can give it a try. If you think everything is difficult at the beginning, then I have the outlines of a few short stories in my mind.

If you don't mind, I will give you the outline to polish. I believe that with your writing skills, you will definitely describe the story vividly."

Jiang Youzhen loved reading ghost stories in his previous life, so he could definitely earn some royalties by just reading a few ordinary ones.

Wen Ruyu immediately smiled, but then he thought, is Jiang Youzhen helping him in disguise?

"Junior brother, you can write it yourself. It's not appropriate for me to use your story." Wen Ruyu shook his head.

"I need to read! Don't I have to catch up with my senior brothers? At the bookstore, I can talk to the owner and tell him that a short story can be divided into upper, middle and lower parts, so as to arouse the interest of readers. After we agree on the price, my senior brothers can give me some of it."

Jiang Youzhen has no worries about food and clothing just by relying on the ever-expanding Fuyun Pavilion, not to mention that she has so many treasures and skills in her hands. She will not starve to death just by relying on any of them. This kind of writing book is considered a small profit, and she herself is too lazy to write.

"But..." Wen Ruyu really couldn't claim other people's articles as her own. Wouldn't that be plagiarism?

"I only gave you the general plot, and the rest is up to you to polish. And I don't care how the book makes money. You need to negotiate with the bookstore yourself. If you feel bad about it, we can split the money in half when the book makes money."

"Oh! Senior Brother Wen, I think Junior Brother Jiang's suggestion is very good, so I decided it happily."

Huang Xue Ning knew what Wen Ruyu was worried about. Wasn't it just a little bit of face and persistence? Can being aloof be eaten? This Senior Brother Wen was good in every way except that he had too much self-esteem.

"I'll write it down when I get home tonight and bring it to you tomorrow."

In the Plum Blossom Hall next door, Tong Huaian was sitting at the top, listening to his subordinates’ reports.

"Master, the body of Censor Hu was found. He was on the official road from the county to the prefectural city, passing through a dense forest. He was ambushed and killed. It's just a little strange that he was alone at the time. When we went there, Lord Qin had already arrived and carried the body away."

"Where are the things?" Tong Huaian frowned. Hu Daoqing's death was an accident.

But he sent people to support because he knew that many forces were fighting for Hu Daoqing. Two of them wanted to get rid of him, so Hu Daoqing was attacked from both sides.

But at that time, Hu Daoqing had been closely protected by the Second Prince's men, so he planned to take advantage of the situation and wait until both sides were defeated before kidnapping Hu Daoqing.

Unexpectedly, the Second Prince's men were so vulnerable, and Hu Daoqing was captured by another force.

"It's not on Censor Hu! At that time, Lord Qin searched the body inside and out, but couldn't find it. Our people also went over there and searched again later, and they definitely didn't find it."

Tong Huaian seemed to be thinking about something, and suddenly he sneered.

"The Second Prince is really courageous. Who could have expected that he would sacrifice the pawn to save the king? That's right! The Emperor only said to find evidence of embezzlement in the iron ore case, but he didn't specify to save Hu Daoqing. But I didn't expect that he would use Hu Daoqing as bait to lure out the other two forces. Now it's hard to say who has the thing in his hands."

Xiao Wu also frowned, "What should we do now? The Fourth Master said he would protect Lord Hu, but now Lord Hu is dead and his things are gone. It's hard for us to explain."

"Everyone wants to be the jackal, but not everyone has the ability to do it. The first and third princes are not to be feared, but the second prince is indeed a problem."

Tong Huaian suddenly thought of something and immediately smiled and shook his head.

"I think we have been targeted by the Second Prince. He just needs to keep a close eye on us and take advantage of us."

Xiao Wu was a little confused, "Why do you think so, Master?"

"Yesterday I asked you to check the records of people leaving the city gate from 3:00 to 5:00 yesterday. I'm afraid the Second Prince has already sent people to guard it. There are several forces, and the Second Prince knows everything about them now. He deliberately handed Hu Daoqing over. As long as we send people to follow him, how can we worry about not finding him?"

"Ah?" Xiao Wu was very shocked. Could it be that his young master had also fallen into the trap of the Second Prince?

"The Second Prince is indeed the Fourth Master's greatest rival. He is too shrewd. If he had no one under his command, he would have been a real threat to the Fourth Master.

Not only did he scheme against us, he also forced Qin Yandong, who was sent by the emperor to secretly supervise us, out. Now Qin Yandong is in the open and has to be restrained by him. He has suffered a big setback. "

Xiao Wu gasped, "The Second Prince is really..."

He wanted to say that the Second Prince had a plan that was very thorough, but this would inevitably increase the prestige of others and undermine his own morale.
