Chapter 555 Closing the Net

"As expected of the leader of the Qinglong Gang, he is indeed young and promising."

After thinking for a long time, Duan Hongyu said this.

At this moment, he put away any emotion towards Gu Shang. At this moment, he already regarded the other person as a person on the same level as himself.

Talent, this is definitely talent.

Duan Hongyu was very satisfied with his intelligence network, the speed and efficiency of making money.

"Your Highness, it's a pleasure to cooperate."

Gu Shang looked at the other party with a smile.

"I believe in Gang Leader Zhang's ability."

Duan Hongyu nodded affirmatively.

The deal between the two was concluded.

There are no trigger options in this process, everything is very bland.

After joining the Third Prince line, the Qinglong Gang under Gu Shang expanded even faster.

After opening the way with a large amount of money and some privileges under the third prince, Gu Shang's industry began to expand vigorously throughout the country.

There is almost no force that can compete with him.

Even his competitors didn't take it seriously.

Because before this, the third prince had formally promised to His Majesty and his two elder brothers and two younger brothers under Gu Shang's suggestion that he only wanted to do business in this life and had no interest in the throne.

Although these people very much agreed with his move.

It's just a matter of losing a little bit of industry and directly defeating a competitor, which is perfect.

So what if the other party has more money? After he won the throne, it was no longer a matter of words.

Of course, there were some sensible people who saw through the thoughts behind the third prince and gave various advice to their master, but these people were all blinded by the immediate interests and did not listen at all.

Maybe when they calm down they will understand the significance of the problem.

But by then, it was too late.

Once any force participates in the struggle for the throne, it is equivalent to having one foot on the edge of the cliff.

If it succeeds, it will be alive; if it fails, it will be completely gone.

The battle for the throne is so cruel. Even if the prince standing at the front has no intention of fighting for it, the people behind him will force these princes to submit.

After all, everyone put everything on their bodies.

How can I allow you to give up completely with just one sentence?

In the period that followed, Gu Shang took matters into his own hands and opened up various unique businesses in various cities.

The third prince also kept a low profile and no longer interfered with various matters in the court. Instead, he devoted himself to studying and doing business with him.

But these are just superficial phenomena.

In fact, they are using the large amount of money in their hands to crazily erode the middle and lower-level forces in various cities.

For these middle- and lower-class people, money represents resources, and resources represent the key to advancement.

In order to go further, they all chose to take risks and stand on Gu Shang's line. Of course, they didn't know what the meaning behind this line was.

The more money he makes, the more powerful his family becomes in the world that is bound to the Qinglong Gang.

Money can make the world go round.

Based on countless wealth, the two people's various plans almost never failed.

In just one year, he had recruited a large number of elite subordinates. Not only that, he had also reached a harmonious deal with several generals on the border through a large amount of gold and silver.

All local officials in various cities were bribed by them.

During this year, the storm in the court never stopped. As the emperor's condition gradually worsened, the princes' methods became more severe.

The four forces conquered each other.

Many people died on this road.

Two months ago, Gu Shang collected some little secrets about the fourth and fifth princes.

Without any hesitation, he directly disclosed these secrets to the public through his media outlets, letting the whole of Dali and even the whole world know the nature of these two princes.

Fornicating in the harem, beating and scolding subordinates at will, this is Longyang's habit.

Young children were killed and women imprisoned.

These things are all true, and Gu Shang also found the corresponding evidence.

Under this situation.

The Duan clan of Dali had no choice but to step forward and personally detained the two princes in Tianlao.

It doesn't matter what you are like behind your back, but it doesn't matter if these things are known to everyone.

For the honor and reputation of the Duan family royal family.

The two princes had no choice.

As a result, Gu Shang and Gu Shang only had two enemies left.

The prince, and the second prince.

After reaching this point, they stopped.

Directly behind, I watched silently as these two fell in love and killed each other.

Just do it to reap the benefits of being a fisherman.

During the whole process, the third prince Duan Hongyu's feelings for Gu Shang changed unknowingly.

After seeing the other party's ruthless methods and various shameless strategies, he gradually began to be wary of the other party.

After all, no one wants to face such a minister after becoming emperor.

…

Another two years have passed by in a hurry.

Dali country.

Located in a quiet town in the south.

Gu Shang was wearing a green shirt, holding a writing brush in his hand, and was making corrections on the drawing board.

Opposite him were a flock of birds landing on a branch.

It didn't take long for the painting to take shape.

Several caring staff nearby quickly took it away. They wanted to frame the painting as quickly as possible.

This is a new way Gu Shang found for himself to pass the time.

He had done this hobby before.

It was really good.

After finishing the painting, Zhao Laosan came over appropriately.

"Sir, the fight between the crown prince and the second prince has come to an end."

"Hmm?"

Gu Shang turned his head to look at the other party, and his aura became more and more unfathomable.

Zhao Laosan stared at him and said calmly.

"Just last night, the second prince sent a master to assassinate the eldest prince, but the second prince had many powerful people around him who killed the master in public."

"But the second prince's sister did not die in this conflict, and in addition, there were several of his beloved maids..."

"The second prince was furious and led the masters around him to enter the East Palace in the early morning and slaughtered the crown prince and his surrounding guards."

Gu Shang nodded.

"In this case, the second prince won?"

Zhao Laosan shook his head.

"In the end, His Majesty took action and actually exposed his cultivation in the Concentrated Spirit Realm, suppressing the Second Prince with force."

"It turns out that our His Majesty has been pretending to be sick..."

"Just now, His Majesty re-issued an order to make the Third Prince the Crown Prince..."

This was indeed unexpected. Even though Gu Shang's intelligence network had covered the entire world, he did not discover that the Emperor of Dali was actually a strong man in the Concentrated Spirit Realm.

"Does the Third Prince know about this?"

"The person who drafted the order for His Majesty is our man. We get the news the fastest. As for the Third Prince, it is estimated that he will not receive the imperial order until the afternoon."

Gu Shang held the brush in his hand and paused slightly.

"In that case, let's officially close the net."

The expression of Zhao Laosan next to him changed.

Nodded quickly again.

"Yes, sir!"
