After seeing off his grandfather and grandson, Zhou Min hurried to the King of Jin's palace and reported the gains of the past two days to Guo Song.
"An important figure in the Yuan family!"
Guo Song frowned. The Yuan family had been destroyed in Taiyuan. Who else would slip through the crackdown? He really couldn't think of it.
"Your Highness, you might as well ask Dugu Mingren."
Guo Song nodded and ordered the guards, "Go to Taichang Temple immediately and ask Dugu Shaoqing to come see me!"
The guard left in a hurry.
Zhou Min added: "Your Highness, now we finally know that the source of Dugu Xiangguo's assassination is still related to the Yuan family, but what is their purpose? Is it personal revenge? Or do they want to compete for control of the Guanlong family?"
"It should be the latter. The Guanlong family has too much wealth and resources. This is what they are eager to get. Lone Qiu alone is a stumbling block for them. If I guessed correctly, among the more than twenty members, there should also be Guanlong family members.
member."
Guo Song took a few steps with his hands behind his back and sneered: "Wei Tanghui, defending the Tang Dynasty, I think it is just a pretense. If we really take over the world, how can we still have the Li family?"
Not long after, Dugu Mingren hurried over. He entered the official room, bowed and saluted: "I am here to see you, Your Highness!"
After Dugu Qiu was buried, the three Dugu brothers all resigned, but Guo Song still retained Dugu Mingren. This was also because Dugu Mingren was buried in Chang'an. If he was in another place, Dugu Mingren would have resigned and returned to his hometown to honor his father no matter what.
.
Guo Songxiao asked: "Has the Guanlong family had any gatherings recently?"
Dugu Mingren is very cautious, not as open-minded and cheerful as his father. He thought for a long time, shook his head and said: "Reporting to Your Highness, there are no group gatherings. There are occasional contacts between families."
Guo Song knew that he had asked the wrong person. He should ask his second uncle Dugu Changqiu about this kind of thing. Guo Song stopped asking any more questions and went directly to the topic.
"I summoned you here because I want to ask you something. Regarding the Yuan family, are there any other important figures in the Yuan family now?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, the Yuan family is a very large family. It has been spreading for hundreds of years. It has a large number of people and a wide distribution. As far as I know, the Yuan family has nine houses in total, distributed in the seven states of Guanlong and Longxi. They live in
There are three direct concubines in Chang'an. It was these three concubines who established themselves as kings in Taiyuan and were eventually exterminated. However, there are still six concubines living in Guanzhong, Guannai, and Longyou. They are very low-key. Yuan Shannong, who was admitted to the Jinshi last year, is
A descendant of the Yuan family in Qishanfang."
Guo Song shook his head, "I'm not talking about these six houses, I'm talking about whether there are any fish that slipped through the net in the third house?"
Dugu Mingren thought for a moment and suddenly blurted out, "Yuan Xuanhu's fourth son Yuan Wei!"
Guo Song asked in confusion: "Yuan Xuanhu only has three sons, Yuan Jin, Yuan Lu, and Yuan Chu. Where did the fourth son come from?"
Dugu Mingren said quickly: "Your Highness does not know that Yuan Xuanhu does have four sons, Yuan Wei, who was adopted by Yuan Xuanli as his son when he was young. Yuan Xuanli is Yuan Xuanhu's brother. He has been the chief of Fanyang Jiedu Mansion for a long time, and his subordinates
Since he had no children, Yuan Wei adopted him. The reason why the Zhu brothers did not directly rebel against the court was related to Yuan Xuanli's mediation. Later, after Yuan Xuanli died of illness, Emperor Daizong named Yuan Wei the county magistrate of Jixian County and served as Ping Ping.
The state military envoy was one of the four military envoys under Zhu Tao. He changed his name to Li Yuanwei because he was dissatisfied with his father Yuan Xuanhu."
"Then what? Where is he now?"
Dugu Mingren shook his head, "No one knows where he is now? There are rumors that he and Yuan Xuanhu became monks after their deaths, but there are also rumors that he was training soldiers for Zhu Tao in Yingzhou. It has been many years.
We have no news about him, but we all think he is still alive."
.........
After Dugu Mingren resigned, Guo Song had a clear mind. The leader of the Wei Tang Hui must be Yuan Wei. The word Wei in the Wei Tang Hui did not mean defending the Tang Dynasty, but Yuan Wei's own name.
The force behind Yuan Wei should be Zhu Tao. He wants Wei Tanghui to become Zhu Tao's internal agent in the Central Plains. Maybe he has his own ambitions.
Guo Song paced around the official room with his hands behind his back. Finding out the details of Wei Tang Hui was one thing, but destroying it was another.
At this time, Wang Yue hurried over, entered the room and knelt down on one knee to salute, "I'm sorry to see you, Your Highness!"
"Get up first, I have something to explain."
Guo Song returned to his seat and sat down, and said to Wang Yue and Zhou Min: "Now we need to do two things. The first is Commander Wang's side. I request that an intelligence point be opened in Yingzhou as soon as possible to collect Zhu Tao's intelligence. This is
First, the second thing is that Vice Commander Zhou is here. The Wei Tang Hui must break through as soon as possible. Now that we know the details of the other party, there is a direction for the investigation. I suspect that there are members of the Wei Tang Hui on the Guanlong family, and we need to conduct investigations secretly.
Let’s start with the assassination case of Du Lingqiu. There must be some clues behind it that we haven’t discovered yet.”
Zhou Min bowed and said: "I have some thoughts about the assassination of Dugu Xiangguo."
"Say what you think!"
"I feel that this is by no means a temporary decision, but has been planned and planned for a long time. During this period, there were people involved openly, but there must also be people involved behind the scenes. As long as we straighten out the entire assassination case, we will see which link is missing.
, and if we add them in, the clues that we have ignored will come out."
Guo Song nodded, "There must be people from the Long Family involved in this. If you add them in, see which link is missing, then we can find a breakthrough."
.......
Wang Yue and Zhou Min both started intensive operations. In the evening, Guo Song returned to his home. The Xianghui Building where the family lived was installed with glass, and the transparency was pretty good. In fact, this is not surprising. Some of the buildings in the palace
The important windows are all decorated with colored glaze. However, the making of colored glaze is complicated and involves dozens of processes. The finished product can be called jewelry. It is too luxurious to install it on the windows, so only places like the emperor's study and bedrooms can use colorful glaze.
Glazed windows.
When we returned to the mansion, it was already dark and the family had already had dinner. This was also Guo Song's explanation. He often came home very late so that everyone did not have to wait for him. He usually only had breakfast with everyone in the morning.
Guo Song was sitting in the dining hall, eating dinner and reading today's newspapers. He had been busy with disaster relief for the past two days and basically had no time to read newspapers.
"Dad, is the epidemic in the Central Plains serious?" Suddenly the voice of his daughter Guo Weiwei came from behind.
Guo Song turned around in surprise, only to find his daughter Guo Weiwei sitting behind him, also reading the newspaper intently?
"Weiwei, why are you here? Have you had dinner?" Guo Song asked with a smile.
"I've already eaten. I just want to talk to daddy."
Guo Song felt a little apologetic in his heart. This was his most beloved eldest daughter, who looked very similar to his daughter in his previous life. She had once placed his infinite thoughts on her, but he had been too busy in the past few years and gradually ignored her.
"Come and have something together! You can also have some soup."
Guo Song personally filled a bowl of soup for his daughter, placed it next to him, and said with a smile: "Come and eat!"
Guo Weiwei smiled and sat next to her father, sipping the soup, blinking and asking: "Daddy hasn't answered my question yet?"
Guo Song nodded, "Because there is not much population in Songzhou, the epidemic has been controlled. Now it is very serious in Bianzhou and Caozhou, and it has spread to Yanzhou. The epidemic has also occurred in Bozhou. Fortunately, we have the foresight to put it under control."
The two major refugee camps moved to Chuzhou, but now that winter has arrived, the spread of the disease is not as severe as before."
"Then when will it end?" Guo Weiwei asked worriedly.
"The epidemic will not end so quickly. It usually takes several years, but we must try our best to control it. One is not to cause such serious harm, and the other is to prevent it from spreading to other places and try to lock it in the Central Plains."
"Dad, can you control it?"
Guo Song laughed and said, "Actually, everyone is afraid of death. This is the key. As long as you are afraid of death, you will pay attention to hygiene, such as washing hands frequently, boiling water before drinking, and building latrines away from residences. In addition, the court also
Begin to plant large-scale herbal medicines to prevent plague. You can drink medicine to prevent it. As long as you pay attention to prevention in your daily life, you will generally not be infected with the plague."
Guo Weiwei thought for a while and said: "I read that newspapers talk about how to prevent the plague every day, but we know it, but the people in the Central Plains don't know! Can the "Chang'an Express" be sent to the Central Plains, and then to Hebei and the south?
Let everyone see it, and I also want to make another suggestion."
"Go ahead! Any other suggestions?"
Guo Weiwei scratched her head in embarrassment and said: "There are too few pictures in the newspaper. Can you add more pictures? They really can't draw them. I can draw them for them. I... I will charge less."
Guo Song almost spat out the soup with a mouthful of soup. The last sentence is the key point!
Guo Song gently tapped his daughter's head with chopsticks, "Daddy gave you those gems, just take one and sell it, it will be very valuable. Are you still so obsessed with money?"
Guo Weiwei muttered: "How can I sell the things my father gave me? My mother only gives me two dollars a month. It's not enough for me to buy drawing paper, let alone makeup. There are so many articles in the newspaper every day.
I’ve never eaten any delicious food, and I don’t have the money to buy it.”
Guo Song smiled and said: "Daddy can give you some scraps of silver and let the maid buy whatever you like to eat, but the condition is that you can't go out, do you understand?"
"Dad, why can't I go out? Can't I even sit in the carriage?"
Guo Song lovingly touched his daughter's head and said softly: "There is a reason why dad doesn't let you go out. There is a group of assassins outside. Yan'er's grandfather was assassinated by them. They specifically targeted me and my family.
Now the internal security forces are still trying their best to arrest them, and they have all been arrested. It is not too late for you to go out for fun."
Guo Weiwei nodded silently, "I understand, then I won't go out."
