There is actually no direct evidence for what Gu Cheng thinks, it is just his guess.
However, there is a saying that goes well: Be bold in your assumptions and be careful in your arguments.
Moreover, it is enough to make assumptions about what happened this time. Whoever benefits in the end will be the one who instigates everything.
Gu Cheng didn't think about overthrowing the third prince just by relying on this incident. He only needed to give an explanation to Jingyesi.
Taking the information collected by Tie Tianying, Gu Cheng went straight to Jingyesi's headquarters.
Gu Cheng gathered the power of the Eastern Region to destroy a prince's mansion. How could such a big thing be hidden?
By the time Gu Cheng took action, this matter had actually already spread to the headquarters.
The reason why no one from the headquarters showed up was just because everything was settled. What's the point of sending someone from the headquarters to stop Gu Cheng?
That would only make outsiders see Yasushi's jokes and think that Yasushi's people are inconsistent in their actions.
So when Gu Cheng went to Jingyesi headquarters, the Xuanjia guards guarding the door looked at Gu Cheng with a bit of teasing.
The last time Gu Cheng came to take office, they didn't know that Gu Cheng was the new commander of the Eastern Territory. They only found out after they found out that Gu Cheng had caused such an incident.
Jingyesi has developed for five hundred years, and seniority is also somewhat serious. These Xuanjia guards guarding the gates are all the elites of Jingyesi in the capital. They are even from the capital. Although they are only Xuanjia guards, they are also
Some look down on those Xuanjia guards from other places.
Gu Cheng seemed to be about the same age as them, but he was actually able to take the position of commander of the Eastern Territory, which naturally made them feel a little unconvinced.
At this time, when they heard that Gu Cheng had caused such a big fight, they all looked like they were watching the fun.
And let alone them, ever since Gu Cheng stepped into Jingyesi's headquarters, everyone who came and went had a joking and weird look on his face when they saw Gu Cheng.
It doesn't matter that Gu Cheng took over the position of commander of the Eastern Territory at a young age and lacks qualifications. As long as he keeps a lower profile and conscientiously serves his qualifications in this position, he becomes an inspector in a few years, and then he is released to become a town commander.
Even that is possible.
It turns out that this guy is young and energetic after all, and he insists on making some noise. Why do you say that Marquis Xinnan is also a powerful prince in Daqian, but you destroy him at your will? Where do you put the unspoken rules in this place in the capital?
Where to put these commanders and envoys in the Jingyesi Division?
People who come from a small place come from a small place and are eager for quick success. They don't know the complicated interest relationships in the capital, which leads them to do such a stupid thing.
But what surprised them was that after Gu Cheng did this, someone from the headquarters was definitely going to question him, but instead Gu Cheng showed up at their door, which was really interesting.
Even Fang Henshui, who had supported him in the beginning, would not openly see him at this time.
Sure enough, after Gu Cheng arrived, in addition to the chief governor who had been absent all year round, there was also a commander who had recently been away on official business, and the remaining three people in the Jingyesi headquarters came.
In the central hall of Jingyesi, this place is deep and extremely cold. Whether it is the floor tiles under your feet or the pillars on the surrounding walls, they are all made of ice black iron, the ultimate weapon-casting material.
Moreover, there are large formations engraved on the ground and walls, densely packed with light golden luster.
The reason why a meeting hall is built with this precious material is actually very simple, it is to be strong, and those formations are all defensive formations.
The headquarters of Jingyesi did this not to defend against foreign enemies, but to defend against its own people.
It is said that Jingyesi was not so peaceful in the early years. Several commanders and even the chief governor would argue over certain matters and even develop into direct fights.
Therefore, it is common for things like the lobby of Yasushi to collapse.
Although it could be repaired, it was too troublesome, so they directly built an iron shell made entirely of ice black iron. Even if a master-level being came, they could only leave a mark on the ground.
Of course, this kind of thing only happened in the early days of Jingyesi. Although there were internal intrigues within Jingyesi in the later period, everyone was much more 'civilized' and would not openly fight, but only stabbing people secretly.
In the deep lobby, the whale oil lamp was only half lit, not bright enough, which made the atmosphere in the entire lobby seem even heavier.
There was no one on the black iron throne in the center with the statue of Listening engraved on it, but there were three people sitting on the four black iron chairs below.
Except for Fang Henshui, one of them was wearing black armor with light blue patterns. He was only in his early thirties, handsome and feminine, and his pair of red and phoenix eyes always gave people the feeling of seeing through your heart.
This is Yin Hongyuan, the 'Ling Yu Feidu' among the four major commanders. She is Fang Henshui's old enemy and has been fighting with him in the Jingyesi Division for half his life.
The other one is tall, has blond hair, and has a rough and masculine appearance. He looks a bit like a minority from the Nanman tribe. He is not wearing Jingyesi's black armor, but is wearing a shirt with bare arms.
The black vest, and the thick arms were engraved with dense tattoos, which did not look like array patterns or runes, but rather like an unknown script.
This person is Duan Jingang, the 'Evil Dragon' among the four commanders. He was also interested in the position of commander of the Eastern Territory, but under the influence of the fourth prince, he recommended Gu Cheng instead, and Gu Cheng finally took the position.
The position of the domain leader.
"I'm here to meet you three adults!"
Gu Cheng cupped his fists and bowed, his attitude was calm, neither humble nor overbearing.
For a moment, all three people's eyes were focused on Gu Cheng, with different expressions.
Fang Henshui somewhat hates the fact that iron cannot become steel.
Gu Cheng is Yu Yuanhai's son, so naturally he is half of him, and it was he who suggested that he take the position of commander of the Eastern Territory.
He remembered that when Gu Cheng took office, he told him that the situation in the capital city was extremely complicated, no more than that of Donglin County and Nanyi County, and he had to be cautious when doing business. As a result, how long had passed?
He just wiped out a prince's mansion?
Gu Cheng thought everything he said to him was fart?
Yin Hongyuan had a playful look on her face. He had no opinion of Gu Cheng, and he didn't even know Gu Cheng well.
It was only because Gu Cheng was promoted by Fang Henshui that he objected.
When I opposed the promotion of Gu Cheng to the commander of the Eastern Territory, I said that Gu Cheng was too young and might have some strength, but he was not suitable for holding important positions in a complex place like the capital and would be prone to bad things.
This sentence was just something Yin Hongyuan said casually because she wanted to oppose Fang Henshui, but she didn't expect that it would actually become a reality now.
At the end, Duan Jingang had a solemn look on his face, with a somewhat unkind look on his face.
He was actually the first to propose Gu Cheng, but he didn't know Gu Cheng either. It was only because he had some kind of deal with the fourth prince that he agreed to sell the fourth prince a favor.
As a result, Gu Cheng has caused trouble now. Although it has nothing to do with him, he was the first person to propose Gu Cheng's promotion. Now that something happened to Gu Cheng, he will inevitably end up with a reputation for not knowing people well.
In this silence, Fang Henshui was the first to say coldly: "Gu Cheng, tell me what is going on.
No matter how you say it, Marquis Xinnan is a veteran prince who has been inherited by me for five hundred years, but now you are killing him directly. When the time comes, someone in the court will inevitably accuse me, Jingyesi.
If you don't give a reasonable explanation today, your position as the leader of the Eastern Region will soon come to an end!"
Gu Cheng is half of him, so he actually still wants to keep Gu Cheng.
So despite Fang Henshui's harsh words, he actually only meant one thing, and that was that if Gu Cheng could come up with a reasonable explanation, he could still deal with it for Gu Cheng.
But if Gu Cheng couldn't come up with it, even if such a big thing wouldn't kill him, it would at least mean that he was no longer suitable for such a key position as the commander of the Eastern Territory.
Gu Cheng handed over the detailed dossier compiled by Tie Tianying and others in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Sir, the Xinnan Hou Mansion was destroyed because it deserved to be killed!
At the critical moment of the ancestor worship ceremony, they are covering up evil cultivators who wantonly kill innocent people. This is a taboo!"
Everything has been recorded in detail in the file. What Gu Cheng said is absolutely justified. Anyway, both the person and the person got the stolen goods. The evil cultivator was discovered in Xinnanhou Mansion. So many people saw it. With people, no one can confuse right and wrong.
Yin Hongyuan suddenly sneered: "That's right, but if you want to destroy the Xinnanhou Mansion, why don't you go to the Jingyesi headquarters, but you decide to make the decision without permission and act alone?"
Gu Cheng said in a deep voice: "The matter is urgent. If we don't take action immediately and cause the leftist cultivator to escape, what we have been waiting for will be in vain."
"Then how did Chen Jingnan die?"
Yin Hongyuan suddenly shouted loudly.
This commander had been working in Jingyesi for half his life. Not only was he powerful, he also had a lot of experience. He could tell something was wrong almost immediately.
Chen Jingnan's death was so strange. Although he didn't know Chen Jingnan, he didn't believe that people from the Marquis of Xinnan Mansion would kill Chen Jingnan and let his body be openly displayed outside.
Fang Henshui glanced at Yin Hongyuan with some dissatisfaction: "Why are you yelling? This is an inquiry, not an interrogation?"
Yin Hongyuan sneered: "I'm just afraid that someone will stab one of us secretly, and we will be tried sooner or later!"
Gu Cheng made a righteous look: "Master Yin, what do you mean? Of course Chen Jingnan was killed by the Xinnan Marquis Mansion. If not for this, I would not have chosen to use such a drastic method to destroy the Xinnan Marquis Mansion. .
Besides, this time I destroyed the Xinnan Hou Mansion, which also helped me, Jingyesi, to eliminate a big trouble in advance.
It doesn’t matter if there is no reward. I didn’t expect that I would be questioned like this now. What Master Yin has done really chills the hearts of my subordinates.”
