"My concubine, my name is Mei'er? Isn't it the famous prostitute Gu Mei whom Gong Dingzi married a few days ago? It's a big stir, who doesn't know in the capital?" Sony thought to himself after hearing Hailin's report: "Gu Mei was a prostitute, not a good woman. A man outside of Hatis was not a gentleman. It's normal for the two to meet each other. Okay, let Gong Dingzi offer Gu Mei out."

However, he didn't want to come forward for this matter. After all, Gu Mei was Gong Dingzi's concubine. How could his dignified minister of government do such a thing that was despised?

"Hailin, go find Gong Dingzi and ask him to send Gu Mei to the firearm camp in person." Sony said to Hailin.

"Master, is it a little lighter for me? What if Gong Dingzi doesn't agree?" Hailin asked.

"It's okay, Lord Gong is loyal to the court, and he can distinguish between public and private. Besides, why are you so light? My servants are the masters of the Han people!" Sony said domineeringly.

"Yes, the slave took his leave."

Hailin felt confident when he got Sony's words.

After leaving Suo Mansion, Hailin headed straight to Gong Mansion.

Hearing that the firearms and sea managers were visiting, Gong Dingzi did not dare to neglect and quickly asked someone to invite Hailin into the living room.

Because he knew very well that although Hailin was a fifth-rank official, he was a slave under Sony. He had just been able to use it and his future was limitless.

"Master Hai, you have a noble place to walk on the cheap land. It's so bright. I wonder what Master Hai has to do?" Gong Dingzi asked humbly.

"Haha, Lord Gong, I came here for the sake of the firearm camp. In the former, Lord Gong brought Hatis and Zhang Nianbao to acquit his contribution to our Qing Dynasty. My master highly praised him." Hailin sat in the guest seat in a big manner, and first said a few polite words.

"Where, where. These things are what my ministers should do, and I dare not ask for praise from Lords." Gong Dingzi said in a very generous manner.

In fact, he is very helpful in his heart.

If you can be praised by Sony, your future will be bright.

"Xiaoguan is here to borrow someone from Lord Gong on the order of my master. Because it involves the major event of firearm production, it is also the cause of the adults, and it is also the contribution of the adults. I believe that the adults will not disappoint the emperor, right?" Hailin said clearly.

"That's natural. Not to mention borrowing one person, even if you borrow ten or a hundred, there is no reason why the subordinates refuse to agree. I wonder who Lord Hai wants to borrow?" Gong Dingzi asked.

"Hatis called him and asked someone to accompany him, otherwise he would rather die than surrender. This person is in your mansion, named Gu Mei." Hailin said.

"This..." When Gong Dingzi heard these two words, the smile on his face condensed at a visible speed, and then his face covered with frost.

"Master Hai, are you joking? Gu Mei is my family. Are you coming to insult me? Are you not afraid that I will participate in your first book?" Gong Dingzi said coldly.

"Mr. Gong, who is Gu Mei? The lower official is very clear. Master Yuan Pei is Dong, Gu Mei is just a concubine, and he is not from a good family. The word "family" has passed? Besides, you hear it clearly. The lower official came here on the order of my master. If you want to participate in the lower official, then please ask? But, Lord Gong must think clearly about the consequences." Hailin was not afraid, and moved out of Sony, and did not believe that Gong Dingzi could become tough.

"This..." Sure enough, Gong Dingzi immediately became silenced when he heard Sony's name.

"Mr. Gong, I would like to advise you, Hatis is a key figure in making firearms. Your official position will be promoted because of him, or you can be demoted because of him, or even worse. Where can you go, think about it." Hailin continued to persuade.

It is more of a threat than a persuasion.

Gong Dingzi felt extremely insulted at this time.

Hailin and Sony obviously felt that it was irrelevant because of Gu Mei's background, and Manchus have always been less concerned about men and women than Han people.

Not to mention being a concubine, even the empress dowager? Didn’t he commit suicide to persuade Hong Chengchou to surrender?

However, it is another matter in the eyes of the Han people.

Although Gu Mei is not a good family, she has become a good family now and has become her own side room. This is a severance from the past disgraceful history. She does not belong to the public, but to herself.

Isn’t this a great insult to make your woman commit to a bear-like Thais?

"My Lord Gong, my master's original words are to ask you to send people to the firearm camp. When the time of You, the official will not see anyone again, so you can go and explain to my master. Goodbye!" After that, Hailin stood up and left.

Leaving Gong Dingzi alone in the living room, he was staring blankly.

"What to do? What to do?" Gong Dingzi kept asking himself in his heart.

He has only two choices.

One is to refuse to follow, but the result will definitely bear the anger of Sony and even the emperor. Losing the official position is a small matter, and whether the life can be kept is still between the two.

There is no need to make any other extravagant hope. Manren could not give up the production of firearms for the sake of his Han Shigong, because the latter is too important and is related to the life and death of the Qing Dynasty.

The second choice is to obey orders and send Gu Mei to the firearm camp.

The benefits are naturally obvious. High officials and generous salaries will come in a steady stream of wealth and glory.

But Mei'er will be humiliated. If it is spread, her reputation will be completely destroyed. Not to mention being an official in the court, she may not be able to live for the rest of her life. She can drown herself if she wants to drown her.

Simply put, the first option is to keep your name and make money; the second option is to make money and destroy fame.

"Is there a third option? Can you gain profit without destroying your reputation?" Gong Dingzi asked himself in his heart.

After thinking for a long time, the answer is yes.

Send Gu Mei to the firearm camp and accompany Hatis for a few days, fulfilling Sony's wish, but he must cover the matter tightly without revealing it. In a few days, Gu Mei returns home and pretends that this has not happened. Wouldn't it be a perfect match for both worlds?

However, I will bear the condemnation of my conscience.

"Conscience? Maybe Hailin is right. Gu Mei is not from a good family. In essence, she is just a prostitute. Before she married her, she had seen countless people. People saved her from the fire and fire. Shouldn't she sacrificed for me once? Just think she took another guest."

Thinking of this, Gong Dingzi finally defeated his feelings, no longer hesitated, and made his final choice.

He raised his legs and headed towards the inner house.

After entering the inner house, Gu Mei continued diligently, Gong Dingzi drove all the maids and mother-in-law out with a calm face.

"Master, what's wrong?" Seeing that Gong Dingzi looked bad, he drove everyone out again. It was obvious that it was a secret matter. Gu Mei didn't understand why, so he asked quickly.
