Chapter 459: Clever

Yang Shu became a little annoyed and kept silent. He was suppressing the anger in his heart, and repeatedly reminded himself not to get angry or to be more serious. But it will take time, so he is silent and just takes a deep breath.

Shen Hao stood on the side in a dignified manner without saying a word, he was sizing up His Highness the Spirit King.

Emperor Yang Jian currently has seven sons, and the youngest is the Lingwang Yang Shu. This is also the most famous of the seven princes.

It's not that Yang Shu is famous because of his excellence. On the contrary, Yang Shu is famous because of his "inconspicuousness". Even many old-fashioned people think that Yang Shu is a disgrace to the royal family. The prince who was impeached the most in the temple was also Yang Shu.

It is rumored that Ling Wang Yang Shu has a frivolous personality, strange behavior and no royal dignity at all.

Because of these things, Yang Shu was often punished by the emperor in his early years, and it was commonplace to kneel down in the ancestral hall to reflect, and it was common for him to be punished. On several occasions, he was punished by the emperor with heavy hands, his buttocks were smashed, and he lay down for two full months before he could get off the ground. Anyone else should learn how to behave, right? Yang Shu didn't, he still went his own way.

In the end, even the officials lost interest in Yang Shu. The impeachment of this kind of rambunctious people does not prove their strength at all, but it will make them appear incompetent. They only want to impeach a hopeless person. Forget it, just ignore him.

Afterwards, King Ling became more and more out of line, and he even went to the platform town for the opening of Hualou, to mediate disputes between gambling stalls, and even grandiosely brought a singer back to the palace for the night.

If other princes dare to do one of these things, they will be sieved by words, only Yang Shu is invulnerable, and no one cares about him. The emperor seemed to have forgotten that there was such a son.

These were all Shen Hao found out from someone after he formed a relationship with the Song family before. This is not a secret, and it is completely fine to talk about it in private. And with King Ling's disposition, he doesn't care about these "rumours" at all, and he has long been used to it.

Anyway, Shen Hao thinks that there is a sentence that is most suitable for Ling Wang: A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water!

But then again, although King Ling's reputation in the temple is not good, it has a very high reputation in the eyes of merchants in the market. It is said that King Ling has a good business mind, unlike other top nobles who eat hard work and do nothing, King Ling likes to participate, and can always promote business in a good direction. He also has the reputation of "God of Wealth" secretly.

Take the Song family in the imperial city as an example. This top wealthy family in the Jingjiu Dynasty also sprang up rapidly in the past ten years after being in close contact with King Ling. Its business covered the entire territory of the country. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as making money like water.

If you want to say who is the richest among all the princes, then it must be King Ling.

Here, what Shen Hao was thinking in his heart was why the Ling King came to him? The first encounter may be a coincidence, but the second time it was obvious that the other party meant that he had been looking for him many times. Could it be that he was just looking for him to buy a bar? Or are you still obsessed with the wine recipe of "Wuliangye"?

After waiting for a while, Yang Shu calmed down and pointed to the seat for Shen Hao to sit down.

At this time, the people in the small shop had almost run away. Except for the shopkeeper and the waiter hiding behind the counter, there were only Shen Hao and Yang Shu, and the surrounding was very quiet.

"Master Shen seems to be very guarded." Yang Shu didn't want to make the atmosphere too tense, and he also suppressed the anger in his heart. He smiled again as if trying to ease the atmosphere.

"Your Highness laughed at me. Because of my errands, I will encounter some dangers from time to time, so I have been tense all the time. I overreacted just now. Please forgive me." Shen Hao bowed and bowed again as he said. , he wasn't worried that the other party would embarrass him, after all, he didn't know about it before.

"That's right. A few days ago, I heard that Mr. Shen was almost assassinated on the streets of Fengri City. It must have been very dangerous at that time, right?"

"It was really dangerous at the time. The murderer used phantom killing methods, and it was really difficult to deal with. Fortunately, the lower officials had experts sent by Pang Da to help. Otherwise, it would be hard to say whether it would be life or death."

Shen Hao kept staring into King Ling's eyes when he said these words, but he didn't notice any emotional ups and downs in the other party. It looks like listening to a story of someone else, the kind that nods the head twice.

Not someone from the King of Souls?

The identity of the previous murderer was most likely from the royal family, and the spirit king in front of him had some quarrel with Shen Hao. Today, Shen Hao took the initiative to find him, and Shen Hao naturally doubted it. But it seems a bit different now?

"That's really lucky. But do you mean Pang Ban when you say Pang Daren?" Yang Shu didn't care about the dangers Shen Hao experienced, but he heard an important point.

Shen Hao nodded and said: "Yes, it is Commander Pang Ban."

"Pang Ban sent experts to protect you? That person just now?" Yang Shu thought of the middle-aged man who suddenly appeared just now.

"Yes, it's that person just now, thanks to the love of Da Pang."

Hearing Shen Hao's answer, Yang Shu's expression became a little stiff. The corner of his mouth twitched: "It seems that Mr. Shen is highly regarded. Not only Jiang Cheng accepted you as a student, but Pang Ban also looked at you differently. The future is limitless!"

"Your Highness is absurd."

"It's not a ridiculous compliment. I don't have those fancy heads, I just like to be straightforward and I like to make friends, especially those who are capable and potential like Mr. Shen.

There may have been some misunderstandings between us because of the Song family's unauthorized decision-making before, but Song Zhizhou has now been imprisoned at home and raised as a waste, which can be regarded as punishment. I hope Mr. Shen can put aside the past. "

After finishing speaking, Yang Shu picked up the wine glass again, and at the same time filled Shen Hao's wine bowl with wine, motioning for Shen Hao to drink together.

Even if this glass of wine was meant to settle the suspicion, no matter what Yang Shu said was true or not, Shen Hao had to give this face, so he picked up the wine bowl, touched the other party happily, and drank it down.

"Hahaha, Mr. Shen is a good drinker. This Wuliangye is either good or very intoxicating. I usually drink half a catty and dare not continue to drink. After getting drunk, I have a headache."

"Hehe, the lower official is just a rough man, he can only drink, it's not a measure."

"Master Shen is not a vulgar person. A few well-known poems are classics. Nowadays, there are few literati who can produce such excellent works. Master Shen, it is not too much for you to boast that you are "both civil and military". Come, have another drink." !"

Filled Shen Hao with wine again, and then touched it to get bored.

"The last time I met Mr. Shen, I wanted to get to know him. Now that we meet again, it is fate. Would Mr. Shen be willing to make me a friend?"

A prince opened his mouth to make "friends" with you. This is not a novel, and there are not so many good things that fall from the sky. What kind of status will people come to make friends with you? In Shen Hao's view, making friends is fake, but wanting to keep him in his pocket is the real thing. This can refer to the previous five prince Yang Lin.

"Thank you for your highness, but Shen Hao has a vulgar temper and a weird personality. He is not good at communicating with people, let alone being a friend. In addition, your highness is honorable, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to be an official. Please don't blame him."
