Li Qianhu followed Gu Qinghuan's gaze and felt a chill in his heart.
"City Lord, plotting rebellion?"
Li Qianhu felt that Gu Qinghuan was causing trouble, or something big.
Lord Lu, who was on the dock, might have felt that things were not simple, so he took a cruise ship and approached them.
At this time, the sun was shining brightly.
Gu Qinghuan is tall and well-dressed as snow. Standing against the railing when the wind comes and blows his black hair, he has a vigorous heroic spirit. However, upon closer inspection, he has a body as plump as jade, his eyebrows are as light as smoke, and his eyes are looking forward to the sky.
People are dazzled.
Gu Qinghuan stood there and naturally became the center of everyone's attention.
Everyone was quiet, waiting for Gu Qinghuan to speak.
"The Lord of Yongle City turned Yongle City into the city of the Lu family. Isn't this treason?" Gu Qinghuan's cold voice was extremely clear above the river.
"this--"
Li Qianhu was stunned for a moment.
Because what Gu Qinghuan said was the truth, but Yongle City was like this when the Supreme Emperor was still in power. How could it be considered treason, not to mention that a lot of money was used by the Supreme Emperor.
"Miss Gu Si, there is a limit to your nonsense. Who do you think I am in Yongle City to let you act wildly?" A gloomy voice came from behind Li Qianhu. It was the cruise ship of the Lord of Yongle City coming over.
He understood clearly that Gu Qinghuan was clinging to the money from Yongle City and giving it to Yiqiu Villa, and was planning to make a fuss about the situation by taking advantage of the fact that a mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and was trying to get through this difficult situation.
Gu Qinghuan smiled slightly, "This is the second point I want to make. You have used the Emperor to control the princes, and even violated the emperor's orders. You have used the orders of the Emperor to commit treason, and even tried to override the imperial power!
"
Lu Bai was confused when he heard it, but he still knew it. He shouted: "Isn't this rebellion?"
"absurd!"
City Lord Lu said angrily, "The Supreme Emperor has been concentrating on cultivation at Yiqiu Villa. Yiqiu Villa respects the Supreme Emperor, so how could he threaten him and say, 'Aren't you just messing around?'"
Gu Qinghuan gave the last handful of melon seeds to Lu Bai and clapped his hands leisurely, "We have to talk about this carefully."
She wanted to clear her throat, but just when she turned around, she saw a jade hand next to her handing over a cup of tea.
Gu Qinghuan glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw Yun Niang tied the cloak around her body, revealing a large area of white breasts. She didn't take it seriously. She just held the tea cup steadily with both hands and handed it to Gu Qinghuan respectfully.
Gu Qinghuan took the tea cup, took a sip, and handed the tea cup to Yun Niang.
Yun Niang took it respectfully and stood behind Gu Qinghuan.
"The Holy One is the son of Heaven. Emperors of all dynasties will ascend after practicing cultivation. Only the Supreme Emperor has not been able to ascend so far. A sword fairy appeared in Yiqiu Villa, which gave the Supreme Emperor the hope of ascending. You took the opportunity to use the way of ascension to seduce the Supreme Emperor.
Enter Yiqiu Villa to practice, so that I can be used by you, so much so that even if you leave Yiqiu Villa, you will inform all the officials in the name of the Supreme Emperor!"
Gu Qinghuan asked coldly: "Isn't it?"
"Bad talk!"
City Lord Lu said angrily, although there is something in what Gu Qinghuan said. After all, when guarding a golden mountain, who would not knock twice.
"It doesn't matter whether I'm lying or not, what matters is what he did." Gu Qinghuan said coldly.
"Oh, by the way." Gu Qinghuan suddenly remembered something and shook the paper in his hand, "It said that there is a saying circulating in Yongle City: On the day when the Supreme Emperor promised to ascend, the king and Lu will share the world. Tsk tsk,
Do you think this is treason and should we investigate?"
See you in the picture!
City Lord Lu was shocked and angry, and at the same time he felt that there was a whirlpool in front of him, trying to drag him into endless darkness.
He didn't expect that Gu Qinghuan would actually use this sentence.
This saying is not new to us now. As early as when the Supreme Emperor was still the emperor, during the years when the Sword Immortal became an immortal, the Supreme Emperor tried his best to make good friends with the Lu family, so this saying was spread among the people.
Later, when the prince ascended the throne and the emperor practiced spiritual practice, I heard this sentence less often.
City Lord Lu never expected that Lu Qinghuan would throw out these words again, and in public.
The Son of Heaven is always the Son of Heaven.
There are some things that cannot be said.
City Lord Lu tried hard to calm down and said: "Absurd! What nonsense!"
"Really?" Gu Qinghuan glanced at the paper in his hand, "I think it's quite true. It was also mentioned above that due to the dispute over the ceremony, the head of the Lu family was ordered to death by the Supreme Emperor. Later, during the palace coup, the current leader of the Lu family was
The head of the family's biological sister, Concubine Lu, was beaten to death by the emperor himself, so the Lu family has always held a grudge, and took advantage of the opportunity of the Sword Immortal's ascension to blackmail the emperor into agreeing to many harsh conditions for you. The rumors that this king and Lu share the world seem to be groundless."
"These key points are not enough. Your Lu family also wants to make more use of the Supreme Emperor, so it has been slow to help the Supreme Emperor ascend." Gu Qinghuan said.
City Lord Lu stopped talking.
He no longer knew what to say, or even what Gu Qinghuan's purpose was. It was not to get out of the current predicament, it was to tell him nakedly that she was looking for trouble.
Even the grand ceremony and palace affairs from decades ago were moved out.
These incidents, one by one, are all part of the party struggles that the Lu family participated in before the Sword Immortal was born, and when they were still a family supported by one of the eight major factions. Now they are brought up together with the fact that the Supreme Emperor has not ascended to the throne, with the intention of driving a wedge between the Supreme Emperor and a group of people.
Qiu Shan Villa relationship!
But not always.
Gu Qinghuan seemed to have other plans.
It seems that he has offended the Supreme Emperor and wants to treat him as an old fool.
City Master Lu couldn't help but hold his forehead. He had a headache. He knew that Miss Gu Si was not easy to deal with, but he didn't expect that Miss Gu Si was not easy to deal with.
He racked his brains to come up with a move that put Lu Bai in a dilemma. Lu Qinghuan easily put him in a dilemma. No, it was not just a dilemma. He could imagine that if what he said today reached the capital -
"The king and Lu share the world", or "Yiqiu Villa holds the emperor and the emperor's orders to hundreds of officials" are heart-breaking words. If they reach the capital, they will inevitably be attacked by hundreds of officials supported by the eight major factions.
The people above are inevitably very anxious.
Lu Bai felt that it would be even more troublesome for City Lord Lu to know that these words were concocted by Gu Qinghuan yesterday.
Seeing that City Master Lu was silent, Gu Qinghuan smiled slightly.
The hard knife was stabbed in, and the soft knife had to be used. Gu Qinghuan's tone softened, "City Master Lu, the content above has been transmitted to Yancheng. Regardless of whether it is true or not, we all have to take it seriously. In the end,
The fundamental thing is to start from the treasury of Yongle City, so Lu Qianhu has the Yongle City team."
Gu Qinghuan pointed at the city guards and Jin Yiwei on the shore, "But your movement is a bit loud, which makes people suspect that you are deliberately obstructing it. There is something fishy about it."
City Lord Lu sighed sadly.
They lost their chance, now Lu Bai is catching them, even if he kills them, he will have an explanation from above.
It can be said that City Lord Lu's plan failed this time.
He could only smile bitterly and said: "Such a big war is indeed related to the assassination of the Northern Kingdom envoy. Lu Qianhu must not misunderstand."
Lu Qinghuan pulled Lu Bai's sleeve.
Lu Bai was watching the show with his mouth open, thinking that this improvised thing yesterday could actually scare people. Then he was pulled back by Lu Qinghuan and came back to his senses.
"Ahem!"
Lu Bai said: "I don't know the envoy from the North at all. Also, I didn't ask about the case earlier and didn't investigate it later. It happened to be investigated at this time. I think Lord Lu, you must have something fishy. I'll just press this piece of paper first.
I mean, start with checking the accounts of the Salt Supervision Department, and then take a small look at the big picture to see if it is as stated in the confession, to measure the strength of Yongle City and the joy of Yiqiu Villa."
At this time, the faces of City Lord Lu and Admiral Xichang were so serious that it could start raining heavily.
They looked at each other and quickly reached a consensus that this account cannot be investigated!
Anyone else would probably not dare to check their accounts. After all, no one dares to offend Yiqiu Villa.
But this is Lu Bai. He doesn't take Yiqiu Villa seriously at all. What's more important is that his realm is high enough.
If he wants to take action, everyone will have to be arrested and then be investigated and eliminated by him.
"What should I do?" City Lord Lu asked the West Factory Admiral with a wink.
The Admiral of Xichang raised his head and said in a cold voice: "Lu Qianhu, I am the Admiral of Xichang. I am the Salt Supervisor of Yongle City recommended by the factory boss and appointed by the Emperor. You want to touch me with a piece of paper that came out of nowhere."
, that’s too naive!”
"That's why we need to check." Lu Bai said.
Gu Qinghuan added, "If the evidence is found, it means we are right -"
"What if no evidence is found?"
Gu Qinghuan smiled slightly and said, "Lu Qianhu raised his head to apologize!"
"Well--"
Lu Bai looked at Gu Qinghuan and handed over his head?
Admiral Xichang stopped talking. Just as he was thinking about escaping, a naked monster suddenly shouted: "I, I know all his evidence, and I know his secret dealings with the Lu family of Nao Shizi!"
The monster raised his hands and spoke desperately, fearing that Lu Bai wouldn't see it.
Lu Bai and others turned their eyes and saw that it was the fox demon in Erha's hand who was speaking. When he saw everyone looking over, he said loudly again: "He, he relied on me to be enchanted, and then he hugged the real woman and thought he was sleeping.
Women are actually hallucinations. When I was in a trance, I asked him about some money, so I knew something."
The scene was extremely quiet for a while.
Lu Bai turned back to look at Yun Niang. She was standing behind Gu Qinghuan, her expression was as usual, she was not listening, she was still respectful, and she was a very competent maid.
The fox demon was still shouting, "Sir, I, I will tell you everything, please ask this master to let me go."
He pointed at Erha.
Erha ignored him.
Erha was holding him in one hand and holding a sachet in the other, which seemed to be the monster-catching thing that Yang Liangting said Lian'er gave him.
Lu Bai was happy, and he said to the admiral: "It's fine now, there is a witness."
The admiral's body was trembling, but he still said harshly: "He is a monster! Is Lu Qianhu going to use the monster's words as evidence?"
Speaking of this, Lu Bai couldn't help but ask, "In that case, how did the admiral listen to a fox demon and send a message to the prefect's Yamen to punish Yang Liangting with death?"
"What!" The admiral was stunned.
"Yang Liangting! You once sent a message to the prefect's Yamen to change his case, which had a chance of turning around, to a posthumous investigation!" Lu Bai became a little angry.
A person died because of his words, but he didn't even care about this person and didn't even remember his name!
"Then maybe - he must have committed a capital crime." Admiral Xichang said somewhat unhappily.
"Who committed the capital crime!"
Lu Bai shouted angrily at the fox demon in Erha's hand, his eyes were like daggers, and his telekinesis suddenly came out. The fox demon actually felt that he was going to be pierced by thousands of arrows.
The fox demon was silent and did not dare to speak.
He was afraid that if he told the truth, Lu Bai would kill him in an instant.
However, he was silent, and Lu Bai had many ways to make him speak.
boom!
The fox demon's wrist was cut open like a sharp blade, and the broken wrist appeared in Lu Bai's hand.
Breaking through the sky!
Everyone present was stunned.
This is the true realm of breaking through the sky, allowing part of the fox demon's body to break through the air, and then use the space to cut it.
"ah!"
The fox demon screamed in pain.
"If you don't say anything, I won't mind taking off your legs!" Lu Bai said solemnly.
The fox demon surrendered.
"Yang Liangting's family was killed by me. I, I disguised myself as a woman and ate and drank at his house, but I didn't want his son to find out. Then, I killed his parents and put the blame on his son.
"The fox demon said, with beads of sweat streaming down his face, "I, when I was escaping, I was caught by the people from the West Factory. They heard that I had the ability to perform illusions, so they sacrificed me to them.
Admiral."
Later, the fox demon told him about the case he had committed. The admiral had just enjoyed the love between a man and a woman. He was afraid that the murder of Yang Liangting's family would be caused by the fox demon. After the Jin Yiwei raided the case, it would cause unnecessary trouble for him, so he let him
The young eunuch under his command went to the prefect's Yamen to say hello.
Just because of this greeting, Yang Liangting had to surrender and make a move, and Qiu Houwen asked to kill him.
Lu Bai looked at Admiral Xichang, "Admiral, do you remember?"
Admiral Xichang's face was gloomy and he didn't speak.
Gu Qinghuan spoke, "Since the Admiral can't remember - they have to check the accounts anyway, why not find a quiet place for the Admiral and let him slowly -"
"This is happening!" Admiral Xichang interrupted Gu Qinghuan.
Lu Bai looked at City Lord Lu, "Mr. City Lord, such an injustice happened in Yongle City - tsk tsk -"
City Lord Lu said angrily: "Prefect Liu!"
The prefect on the dock shouted loudly: "Yes!"
"The county magistrate of Qingshui Town has retired and returned to his hometown. You can go and support him." City Lord Lu then ordered Li Qianhu, "Go and investigate this case carefully!"
Li Qianhu agreed.
After giving these instructions, City Lord Lu looked at Lu Bai and said, "Lu Qianhu, are you satisfied?"
Lu Bai looked at Gu Qinghuan.
Gu Qing said with a smile: "There is no rush to check the accounts of Xichang. We might as well check the person who wrote the "Letter to the People of Yongle" first. Maybe he knows a lot of clues."
City Lord Lu's expression became more relaxed.
Since Lu Bai did not take the opportunity to take down the admiral and go to check the accounts of Yongle City Salt Service, it means that there is still a chance for things to ease.
But his hatred for Lu Bai obviously continued, "In that case, Lu Qianhu will investigate slowly."
He also wants to check.
Find out what this "Letter to the People of Yongle City" that came out of thin air is about!
City Lord Lu gave Lu Bai a final unwilling look and waved the boat to go ashore.
"Yunniang——"
Before the admiral left, he stared at Yun Niang fiercely.
Lu Bai didn't need to be reminded by Gu Qinghuan this time, and said leisurely: "How about we check the accounts of the West Factory first?"
"you!"
The admiral of the West Factory left angrily.
This bulging look really looks like a little fresh meat, but it's a pity that he is a eunuch.
After everyone in Yongle City disappeared, Lu Bai turned around and asked Gu Qinghuan, "Why don't we check the accounts of the West Factory?"
I'm sure I can find out something.
Gu Qinghuan sat down and said, "The water here is very deep. If you go to check it, it will be like making a mess."
Lu Bai felt that as long as he could investigate the case, he wouldn't be afraid of making trouble.
Gu Qinghuan shook his head, "This is the whirlpool of struggle. If you are not careful, you will be shattered into pieces."
There are party struggles, the struggle for imperial power between the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor, and the struggle between the Eight Great Sects and Yiqiu Villa.
Gu Qinghuan's strategy is to be the one to light the fire, and then leave after lighting it, so as not to get burned.
Lu Bai was delighted, "I like this strategy!"
However, since he mentioned this, Lu Bai was very curious about why the emperor was the son of heaven and wanted to ascend; what were the grand ceremonies and palace changes?
Also, the "Letter to the People of Yongle City" concocted yesterday can be used as evidence today, isn't it good?
