The first person within Jingyesi who came to see Gu Cheng was Dong Xinjue.
When he learned that Murong Hou had been captured by Gu Cheng, Dong Xinjue immediately panicked because he had just collected Murong Hou's things!
Murong Hou described Dong Xinjue as having never seen the world. In fact, it was not that he had never seen the world, but that he was afraid of poverty before.
There are important departments in the Jingyesi Division, and there is also the Qingshui Yamen. Although the salary is good, it is still compared with the local Jingyesi Division, and cannot be compared with the central department such as the Four Regions Commander.
So just after he took office, Murong brought people to send money. How could he refuse?
Besides, Murong Hou’s request is not too much.
Murong Hou took his people to act in the Eastern Territory, just to make it easier for him, the commander of the Eastern Territory, and to provide some innocuous information, so Dong Xinjue agreed without even thinking about it.
Originally this was not a big deal, but the local Jingyesi acted more openly, and even directly colluded with local martial arts forces.
But the problem is that now Murong Hou has fallen into the hands of Gu Cheng. Who knows if Gu Cheng will use the topic to his advantage!
Of course, what Dong Xinjue actually didn't know was that Gu Cheng really didn't take him seriously. What he was focusing on now was the situation in the world, not the inconspicuous grudge between him and Dong Xinjue.
In the lobby of the Inspectorate, Gu Cheng and Hong Dingshan were sitting at the main seats, while Dong Xinjue stood below and suddenly felt a thorn in his back.
Gu Cheng said with a half-smile but not a smile: "What does Mr. Dong mean by coming to our Supervision Department? Do you want his half of the people back? It's a pity that they are now affiliated with the Supervision Department. If Mr. Dong wants to come back, I'm afraid His Majesty will have to speak.
That’s all.”
Dong Xinjue snorted coldly and said: "I'm not here to talk about this matter. Master Gu, what do you mean by arresting Murong Hou, the heir of the Murong family in our eastern region without permission? The Murong family is also one of the seven aristocratic families.
, you took over the Murong family's heir without authorization and started a dispute in the world. Are you working for Da Gan, or are you secretly digging for Da Gan's foundation?"
Gu Cheng said calmly: "What do you mean I arrested him Murong Hou without permission? It was obviously his Murong Hou who snooped into my Da Gan secrets and had evil intentions against me Da Gan. That's why I arrested him."
"What about the evidence? Just a fabricated witness?"
"After arresting him and interrogating him, there will be evidence!"
"Master Gu, are you arresting people without evidence?"
“Where will the evidence come from if we don’t arrest people and interrogate them?”
Gu Cheng's confident answer immediately made Dong Xinjue feel that his own IQ had been greatly humiliated.
Dong Xinyue had seen people who were arrogant, but he had never seen anyone who was as arrogant as Gu Cheng. This was not even considered arrogant, it was simply unreasonable at all.
At this time, Hong Dingshan suddenly laughed: "Master Gu, is this guy from your Jingyesi?"
Gu Cheng nodded and said calmly: "He is the commander of the Eastern Territory of my Jingyesi."
Hong Dingshan sneered: "If I hadn't known that you were from Jingyesi, I would have thought that you were a Hakka slave of his Murong clan!
When Marquis Murong was arrested, none of the Murong clan members themselves were so nervous. How could you come here to show your filial piety?"
"you……"
Dong Xinjue pointed at Hong Dingshan, but in the end he didn't say any harsh words, and just left with a wave of hatred.
He also knew that Hong Dingshan was from the military and had no deep connections in the capital. How could he, a newly promoted commander of the four regions, threaten the other party?
As for Gu Cheng, there is no need to think too much. This is not the first time that the two sides have become enemies. If threats don't work, how else can he get Gu Cheng to make friends?
After Dong Xinjue left, Hong Dingshan sneered: "I don't know! Can a guy like this be the commander of the Eastern Territory? You, Jingyesi, are really not picky."
At present, Hong Dingshan is also the head of the Supervision Department, so theoretically speaking, his and Gu Cheng's interests are consistent.
Now Dong Xinjue is talking to Gu Cheng about poaching others, isn't this also talking about him?
Gu Cheng said calmly: "The commander of the Eastern Territory is just a commander, but Dong Xinjue has the strength of a grandmaster. If nothing else, he is qualified in terms of strength alone."
Hong Dingshan shook his head and said: "Master Gu, I am not slandering you, Jingyesi. Seniority in Jingyesi is even more serious than in the military.
In our military, even if you reach the level of a master, not everyone is qualified to command an army.
The incompetence of one general will exhaust the whole army. As a leader, you can be bad, greedy, violent and murderous, but you must not be stupid, otherwise a group of people will be affected.
Therefore, even if a guy with no brains has enough strength, he is still just a deputy general of an army. He is only responsible for fighting and killing, and it is impossible to lead an army."
Gu Cheng didn't agree with Hong Dingshan's view, because that's what happened.
Jingyesi's shortcomings are no longer a daily problem. When some problems appear too frequently and have even become a habit, then these are no longer problems.
After Dong Xinjue left, Gu Cheng thought that Duan Jingang would come, or someone from the Murong family would come back, but the person who came was something Gu Cheng was a little bit unexpected about. It was the prince himself who came with people from the Murong family.
This is the second time I have met Prince Li Xiaoqing and Gu Cheng of Daqian. The first time was during the ancestor worship ceremony.
It's just that Gu Cheng was far away at that time, so he didn't see much clearly.
But this time Gu Cheng finally saw Li Xiaoqing up close, and the prince gave Gu Cheng the feeling that he didn't look like a prince even wearing a dragon robe.
The second prince Li Xiaoming acted radically and with great vigor.
The third prince, Li Xiaoxuan, was arrogant and ambitious.
The fourth prince, Li Xiaowu, is calm and majestic, domineering and restrained.
It can be said that these three princes are not ordinary people. It is not surprising that they are qualified to compete for the throne.
But the current image of the real Crown Prince is somewhat unexpected.
The other person is in his forties, has a slim and slightly chubby figure, and really has no cultivation at all.
His appearance is somewhat similar to that of Li Xiaowu and others, but he is not as handsome and heroic as them. Instead, he is out of shape because he has gained weight, and has a mustache, which even gives people a somewhat wretched feeling.
Gu Cheng didn't know whether Li Xiaoqing looked like this from the beginning or whether he became like this after being frustrated.
Anyway, there are rumors all over the world that Li Xiaoqing is not liked by Li Yuangong. If it weren't for his reputation and the failure to choose a suitable heir, Li Yuangong would have deposed the crown prince long ago.
But to be honest, if Li Xiaoqing had always had this temperament, Li Yuangong would not have allowed him to become the prince.
But I heard from Li Xiaowu that recently Li Yuangong began to value the prince again and asked him to be responsible for supervising the country. I don't know what the emperor had in mind.
"Meet His Highness the Crown Prince."
Gu Cheng and Hong Dingshan both stood up and raised their hands to Li Xiaoqing.
Li Xiaoqing didn't seem to be used to how polite the upper echelons of the Jingyesi and the military were to him, so he waved his hand in a hurry and said: "You're welcome, I'm here today to deal with Master Murong.
The person next to me is Murong Ze, the elder of the Murong clan. This time he came with sincerity. I also hope that Mr. Gu can act in accordance with the rules. If there is not enough evidence to prove Murong Hou's crime, then let him go as soon as possible.
.”
The man next to Li Xiaoqing was in his fifties, but he looked younger than Li Xiaoqing. Mainly because he was energetic and energetic. Even though his heir was imprisoned in a black prison by Gu Cheng, he didn't
No panic at all.
Murong Ze said calmly: "Master Gu, Murong Hou has been imprisoned in the black prison for several days, which should be enough, right? Do you really want to accuse me, Murong, of rebellion? Aren't you afraid of force?
Are you rebelling against me, Murong?"
Gu Cheng sneered: "If you have no intention of rebelling, how can you rebel when forced?"
Gu Cheng's arrogant and logical questioning has already caused Dong Xinjue to suffer once, and now Murong Ze has finally learned the lesson.
But before he could say anything, Li Xiaoqing said first, "Master Gu, you are just trying to make excuses. Although the Murong family belongs to a wealthy family, they are also a member of my gang. How can you say the opposite?"
Speaking of this, Li Xiaoqing also said to Murong Ze: "Elder Murong, my father established the Supervision Department to deal with the various chaos in the capital. If you can show sincerity, I believe that Master Gu and Master Hong will not do it either."
I will do my best."
Murong Ze took a deep breath, waved his hand, and asked people to carry boxes one by one. When he opened them, he found that there were not only gold, silver, jewelry, etc., but also various rare cultivation resources, even for those in the master realm.
It's extremely rare.
"Can this 'sincerity' be enough for me, Murong, to replace Marquis Murong?"
Gu Cheng and Hong Dingshan looked at each other and nodded secretly.
"What did Elder Murong say? We had no intention of imprisoning Young Master Murong, we just wanted to 'invite' Young Master Murong to come and investigate.
Since Elder Murong is so sincere, it is definitely impossible for Young Master Murong to do anything that would endanger Da Gan."
With that said, Gu Cheng called Kou Andu and said, "Go and release Young Master Murong."
After a while, Kou Andu brought the pale-faced Marquis Murong over.
During the past few days of being imprisoned in the black prison, Murong Hou's own injuries could not be relieved, and his cultivation was banned. At this time, his injuries were even added to the injuries.
Seeing Gu Cheng again, Murong Hou had a gloomy and stern look in his eyes, but he didn't say a word.
This is Gu Cheng's home court. Even he relied on the strength of his family to save his life. What else can he say?
However, Murong Hou remembered today's shame, which is enough for him to remember for a lifetime!
Seeing that Gu Cheng was giving him face, Li Xiaoqing nodded with satisfaction and said, "I have recorded this favor. You two adults are busy, so I won't bother you."
After finishing speaking, Li Xiaoqing left directly with Murong's people.
Kou An was a little puzzled and said: "Sir, we worked hard to catch this guy, and then let him go so easily?"
Gu Cheng said calmly: "Prince Li Xiaoqing has come in person, so what can we do if we don't let him go?
The people of Daqian belong to the Li family, and the Li family themselves think that the Murong family is innocent, can I still forcefully convict them?"
Having said that, there was still a trace of doubt in Gu Cheng's eyes. Why did Li Xiaoqing still hook up with Murong?
