Since ancient times, emperors have rarely lived long. They plan every day and are troubled by all kinds of things, which are definitely the main culprits that affect their longevity. In addition, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, these are all life-threatening talismans!
Heavy snow fell from the gray sky in the capital, and it was already the middle of winter. The winter wind whistled all night, and thousands of trees were covered with silver flowers.
On this day, Gu Chengyu got up early as usual, and Ming Mo had already entered the house.
"Sir, it's been snowing for the past two days and the ship has been delayed for four days. I should be able to reach the capital today."
Mingmo had sent people to the dock as early as possible. With such heavy snow, the river had begun to freeze. The ship was lucky to be able to reach the capital, as the ice on the river was not thick.
Gu Chengyu opened the window, and a cold wind came in, making the air much fresher. It had snowed from time to time in the past two days, and the snow on the ground could reach the top of the feet.
"Just send someone to wait at the dock. The ship has been delayed for so long, and it should arrive today. If there are too many people, we will arrange those who are not close to each other in another place. I'm afraid the house won't be able to accommodate them."
Although Gu Chengyu has more than one courtyard in the capital, the courtyard is not close to his residence, which is really inconvenient.
He rented a two-entry courtyard not far from his residence, and would arrange those who didn't like it there.
As for whether there would be any rumors, Gu Chengyu said he didn't care.
Even if those officials refer to him in front of the emperor or the prince, so what? The emperor and the prince still have use for him, but they will not do anything like burning bridges across the river, at least not now.
As the night gradually dissipated, Gu Chengyu arrived at Dali Temple through the flying snow.
As soon as he arrived at the office room, Yun Zemin greeted him.
"Sir! Mr. Li Zhongxin, the judge, came just now and brought a stack of files. He said that Mr. Kuang was not at Dali Temple today and had to go out on business. In the past few days, you have been in Dali Temple to check the files from previous years and pick out the suspicious ones.
files."
Yun Zemin pointed to the pile on the desk. Gu Chengyu followed his hand and pointed towards it. He saw that the desk was full of files and the pile was quite high.
Gu Chengyu couldn't help but be dumbfounded. When would he see so many files? What did Kuang Zhaoying mean? Did he not want him to get involved in the current cases being handled by Dali Temple?
He took off his crane cloak and hung it on the shelf. A brazier was already lit inside the house, which was much warmer than outside.
"Sir, I don't know when I will see so many files." Yun Ze Minhua stopped mid-sentence. Even if he wanted to complain for you, he was not qualified.
"It's okay! Just take your time and read." Gu Chengyu smiled slightly, then walked to the desk and sat down.
Even if Kuang Zhaoying has a prejudice against him and wants to put him to shame, will the prince and the emperor allow it? There is no clue about the young master's matter, even if the prince assigns Kuang Zhaoying to deal with it, let him help.
But without Kuang Zhaoying, it probably wouldn't work, because he has the key person who can lead out those people.
"Your Majesty! Our people met Prince Gong's subordinates in Jiangnan. They may have the same purpose as ours in Jiangnan." A man with thick eyebrows and big eyes said to the man standing by the window.
Prince Jing looked at the desolate courtyard with the snowflakes as a backdrop, and he felt a bit of a beautiful mood.
Winter has arrived early in Fengqing Mansion, which is close to the border. It has been snowing for several days. At this time, two servants came to the yard. They took brooms and planned to clean up the snow.
"Will eldest brother give up such a good opportunity? It's just that Jingyuan Mansion is quite wealthy. What does he want with so much money?"
Prince Jing's gentle voice sounded slowly, a little ethereal, and quietly dissipated in the flying snow.
Two charcoal pots were burning inside the house, and the door curtain blocked the severe cold outside, making the house warm as spring.
"My lord, don't you know what Prince Gong is thinking? Is he willing to stay in the fiefdom for the rest of his life?"
Prince Gong was very ambitious. After going to the fiefdom, he became so quiet. This was not like Prince Gong's style.
"So what if you don't give in? It should be yours, and you can't run away no matter what. It's not yours, and it's useless even if you force it." Prince Jing sighed, as if he had something to say.
Prince Jing was so depressed that the man frowned. Just as he was about to speak, Prince Jing closed the window and walked to the desk.
"What happened to the matter you were asked to investigate? Do you have any clues?" Prince Jing changed his previous depression and regained his former composure and calmness.
"Tushi and Bu Ke have arrived in the capital. Our people watched them and found that they were in frequent contact with a young man. The young man has some connections with Mr. Gu."
"Oh? Who is it?" Prince Jing immediately became interested, with a playful smile on his face.
"It is a nephew from Gu's human clan named Gu Wanqian."
Yan Hui thought that everything in this world was just such a coincidence, but she didn't expect that after going round and round, she would get involved with Gu Chengyu again.
When they were in Jiangnan, they didn't get any advantage at all because of Gu Chengyu. The Jiang family collected a lot of rice, but in the end Gu Chengyu forced them to sell it at a low price. Not only did they make no profit, they also lost a lot of money.
Although Prince Gong and Xia Qing did not take advantage, this was a good opportunity to make money in vain. In a desolate place like Fengqing Mansion, what could they accomplish with the little tax they earned every year?
"Gu Wanqian?" Prince Jing looked confused and had no impression of this person.
"He takes care of the general affairs for Mr. Gu. After returning from Jingyuan Mansion, Tu Shi and Bu Ke came to find him."
"Are you saying that this person named Gu Wanqian is the young master they call you? Didn't you say that the young master is of royal blood? How did he end up living in a farmer's home in Dayan? Go check the situation back then. This person can actually take advantage of it.
Ichiban.”
In the past two years, Prince Jing has used some tricks to gain a firm foothold in Fengqing Mansion. But unfortunately, the money-making businesses in Fengqing Mansion are in the hands of some forces. If he wants to seize them, he will really have to spend a lot of effort, and also
It takes a lot of time.
Father's health is deteriorating, how can he wait any longer? The last time he made money was ruined by Gu Chengyu, so he is worrying about money recently.
Gu Chengyu is very good at making money, but it is a pity that this person has not been willing to use it for him so far.
If the young master is caught, there are many things that can be planned. The master behind those people has a lot of background. With the young master in hand, there is no fear that this person will not form an alliance with him.
"Yes! When these people arrived at Yingnan Mansion, I guessed that the young master lost his voice in Yingnan Mansion. If Gu Wanqian is really the young master, should we arrest him immediately? Otherwise, we will wait for the map master and others
Once the person is brought back to Daxing, it will take a lot of effort for us to arrest him."
Prince Jing nodded when he heard this, and then said: "As long as it is confirmed that this person is the young master, we must capture this person at all costs. However, Mr. Gu should not know about this yet, right? Don't alert him, if he is
If you interfere, things will become difficult to handle." 8
