Chapter 280 Abandoning an official position to go into business (2)
"Where does Master Wu Jue live in seclusion?" Zhai Xiying asked Qu Lishang to meet him just to ask about this matter.
Qu Lishang continued to lie on the table, looking like a scoundrel, and refused to answer Zhai Xiying's questions.
"I need to ask Master Wu Jue to help Youruo recover his muscles and veins." Zhai Xiying stated his purpose.
Qu Lishang let out an "ouch" and shouted, "Prince Ying, are you still you?" He never knew that Zhai Xiying would think about Youruo.
Zhai Xiying glanced at Qu Lishang, without giving him an answer, and asked, "Do you know the reason for her amnesia?"
"I really don't know about this!" Qu Lishang frowned, and he wanted to find out the reason quickly.
Zhai Xiying believed Qu Lishang. There was a look of distress on his face, which proved that he was not lying. He continued to pursue Wu Jue, "If you don't tell me where Master Wu Jue is, you can help me spread the word, right?"
"Do you think I, Qu Lishang, am a homing pigeon?" Qu Lishang looked at Zhai Xiying funny.
Zhai Xiying looked back at Qu Lishang with disdain. This man was really Lu Youruo's classmate. His words were equally irritating.
He coughed and suppressed the anger stirred up by Qu Lishang, "Don't force me to let the news out that Wu Jue is still alive. Otherwise, followers looking for the master will spread all over the continent."
These words are not enough to threaten Qu Lishang. As a disciple, he likes to see his master falter the most. "You can let go and see if the old bald donkey will deal with you in the end."
Zhai Xiying is just joking, he is not that insidious yet. Master Wu Jue has passed away and ascended to immortality. If the world knows that he is still alive, his reputation will be ruined for half his life.
"Help me, make a condition." Zhai Xiying negotiated with Qu Lishang arrogantly.
Qu Lishang looked down on Zhai Xiying and sneered: "What can you give me?"
"About Old Qu Wang and Mrs. Qu." Zhai Xiying looked at Qu Lishang and smiled slyly.
When the old Qu King was mentioned, Qu Lishang's face changed slightly, and he put away his cynical expression, "I want to listen first."
"The Laoqu Prince's family was involved in the rebellion of the Weng family in the third year of Jian'an." Zhai Xiying said calmly.
Qu Lishang narrowed his eyes and asked, "Weng Mansion?" Doesn't that mean he is related to Zhai Xiying?
"Isn't there a reason why you haven't been able to find the Emperor, King Dongqu?"
Qu Lishang nodded unconvinced.
"King Qu and Weng Mansion are very close to each other."
"..." Qu Lishang did not speak, but his mouth was slightly open and his eyelids were lowered, not knowing what he was thinking.
Zhai Xiying mentioned what happened more than ten years ago again, "The Weng Mansion was ransacked, and all the official families and merchants who had dealings with the Weng Mansion were wiped out. King Qu Xiangbei and Weng Xiong, the head of the Weng Mansion, were once friends for many years, but
There was a conflict between the two, and Weng Xiong cut off contact with Qu Xiangbei. King Qu was able to avoid Han Qu's beheading. However, he never escaped..."
"Weng's mansion was raided, and it was three years since we were in Jian'an, but seven years have passed since our father, queen, mother, and concubine were killed! Besides, why didn't I know that my father and Weng Xiong knew each other?" Qu Lishang's mood was a little unstable.
Zhai Xiying continued to explain in an indifferent tone, "Weng Xiong broke off contact with Qu Xiangbei in the 39th year of Fengyuan, and you were not born yet!"
"In the thirty-ninth year of Fengyuan, my father's age is similar to that of me!" My father was only in his early twenties, and Weng Xiong was already in his forties at that time, so my father and Weng Xiong were able to get to know each other!
"Officials, farmers, industrialists, merchants, and businessmen are the most despised by the world, and their status is extremely low! But when Qu Xiangbei was young, he gave up his official career and went into business. Weng Xiong took a fancy to this."
Qu Lishang lowered his head in silence. After a moment, he agreed to Zhai Xiying, "If you have anything to say, I will help you."
As for King Qu’s matter, Qu Lishang will follow what Zhai Xiying said and investigate!
