Guo Song asked his senior brother to come into the room and sit down. Gan Feng glanced at Fang Tian's painted halberd by the wall and said with a smile: "Junior brother, I have brought it back. I will ask a few disciples to carry it to the underground palace later, along with the Iron Wood Sword."
Put them together, it’s not safe to put them here.”
Guo Song nodded and asked again: "Did anything happen while I was away from the capital?"
Gan Feng pondered for a moment and said, "Does junior brother have any interaction with the Yuan family among the Guanlong nobles?"
Guo Song's heart skipped a beat, and he asked quietly: "I have no contact with the Yuan family, or it could be Yuan Zai, but the Yuan family no longer recognizes Yuan Zai as a Yuan family, why would senior brother mention them?"
"Not long after you left, the government came to see me. It seems that a legitimate son of the Yuan family has disappeared. The government is looking for clues. Some people said that two days before this legitimate son disappeared, he and you had a conflict in Qujiang, so
The government will come to investigate."
Guo Song sneered and said: "It turns out that Demon King Yuan is missing. He had a conflict with me, but there are so many people who want to kill him. Why do the government think he has something to do with me?"
Gan Feng waved his hand quickly, "The government has not identified you. They also said that this Yuan family member is usually arrogant and domineering and has offended many people. It is difficult to find out who did it. It's just because the junior brother has a conflict with him, so we need to investigate.
, It’s just an investigation and has no other meaning. The investigating officer told me that there are at least twenty or thirty people they need to investigate, all of whom have been harmed by the Yuan family’s children in the past two years.”
Guo Song suddenly realized that leaving Butler Wu in the first place was a disaster. He was the only one who knew that Demon King Yuan was killed by himself, and he must be eliminated as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Guo Song smiled and said: "Senior brother, don't worry, the disappearance of the Yuan family's children has nothing to do with me."
"That's what I told the investigating officer. It was my junior brother who killed his men, and he was the one who suffered the loss. How could he take revenge on him? Besides, when the Yuan family reported to the official, my junior brother had already left, and the time didn't match up.
I guess this matter will eventually come to nothing."
At this time, Zhang Nianhui brought two cups of tea, and the two brothers chatted for a while. Guo Song suddenly remembered something and asked with a smile: "If I want to send a letter, how can I send it?
Gan Feng smiled slightly, "Is it sent to Jianzhou?"
"yes!"
"Give it to me! I'll send it for you. It's very convenient now to send official documents. Although it's for sending official documents, our Taoist temple can also use it. It just costs a little money. I often send some scriptures to fellow Taoists in Qingcheng Mountain.
"
Guo Song handed the letter to his senior brother, "Then please leave it to your senior brother."
"Don't worry! I guarantee it will be delivered. Junior brother has returned safely from the battlefield. He should write a letter to Miss Xue to say that he is safe."
Guo Song was startled, "Senior brother, do you know where I'm going?"
Gan Feng said calmly: "Junior brother doesn't talk about some things, but it doesn't mean that I don't know. I just don't ask more. I have already heard about junior brother's participation in the war in the Central Plains."
After Gan Feng left, Guo Song hurried to the Xishi Liquor Shop. On the one hand, he wanted to know about the situation at the Meishou Liquor Shop. The elder brother was rather vague, only saying that there was a bloody conflict with the Uighur people, which really worried him.
.
On the other hand, he also wanted to handle the affairs of the Yuan family well. Butler Wu could never stay. The hidden dangers were too great. He should not have been kind enough to be a woman at that time.
The Meishou Liquor Shop in West City has returned to normal, and there are still long queues. The Uighur incident has not only had no impact on the liquor shop, but has made the liquor shop even more famous.
As soon as Guo Song approached the store, several warriors immediately stopped him and said, "Sorry, please go to the back and queue up."
"I'm not buying wine, I'm a friend of your proprietor Zhang, he should be at the wine shop!"
The samurai glanced at him warily, "You wait here, I'll report it!"
A warrior walked over quickly, and not long after, Zhang Lei ran out of the wine shop like a gust of wind, "Junior brother, I guess it's you."
Guo Song smiled slightly and said: "I also planned to go to Dongshi to find you. Senior Brother said that you must be here."
"Hey! Forget it, it's hard to say anything. Let's go! I was just going to have a drink, but you came back just in time."
"The wine seller still wants to have a drink?" Guo Song teased him.
"Actually, I just want to find someone to talk to. I've been very upset these past two days."
Guo Song handed the horse to the warrior and followed Zhang Lei to the Tianyuan Restaurant outside the West Market. This is also one of the top ten restaurants in Chang'an and also sells authentic Meishou wine.
Zhang Lei ordered seven or eight dishes and asked for two bottles of Meishou wine. He filled a glass of wine for Guo Song.
"You know about the Uighurs, right?"
“I’ve heard a little bit about it, but I’m not sure about the details.”
Zhang Lei explained what happened in detail. Guo Song frowned and asked, "How is the injured steward doing?"
"He died that night. He lost too much blood and could not be saved. I compensated his family three thousand guan, but the court did not give me any compensation. The murderer was even snatched away by the Uighur people."
"Are you worried about this matter?" Guo Song asked again.
Zhang Lei's fat face turned red, and he squeaked for a long time: "Junior brother, I won't hide it from you, I have raised a woman outside."
Guo Song was startled, "Does Senior Sister know?"
"Nonsense, if she knew, I would have been chopped into countless pieces, and how could I still sit across from you intact?"
"How long have you had that woman?"
"It's been almost two years. She turned out to be a music girl from Hedong. Her parents died. She was sold to Chang'an at the age of eleven. She learned pipa and became a music girl. She gave me her first time. I think her life experience is pitiful.
She was also a very nice person, so I ransomed her body that night and placed her in a small house."
"Then what are you going to do, senior brother? Since you have been hiding it for two years, why not keep hiding it forever?"
"I'm worried about this right now. Your sister-in-law is pregnant again, and Caiyun is pregnant too. They are both my children. It's been six months. I have to give her a title!"
Guo Song was speechless. What kind of nonsense is this? He was actually worried about such a thing.
Seeing him looking at him longingly, Guo Song could only smile bitterly and said: "Brother, do you want me to intercede for you?"
Zhang Lei nodded repeatedly, "Only you can talk about this matter. She will listen to your advice. Others say it is useless."
"Then senior brother, you should be mentally prepared. I guess a severe beating is inevitable."
"Hey! I can't help but wish that a beating would solve the problem. I'm just afraid that she'll take the child away in anger, and then I won't be able to cry anymore."
"Senior brother, the matter is not that serious. Senior sister is sharp-tongued but has a soft heart. After so many years, don't you still understand her?"
Guo Song's explanation made Zhang Lei feel a little relieved. During this period, he had been restless about this matter and was extremely distressed. Guo Song's arrival made him finally look forward to the reinforcements.
"Junior brother, you must help me with this matter."
"Don't worry! I will find an opportunity to talk to Senior Sister."
Guo Song pondered for a moment and then said: "One more thing. Before I left the capital, there was a steward named Wu from the Yuan Dynasty. He must have come to see you!"
Zhang Lei's face changed slightly. He looked around and saw no one. Then he lowered his voice and said, "The man named Wu is dead and committed suicide. He left a letter for you."
"What's going on?" Guo Song asked anxiously.
"He seemed to know some secret. He came to me and said that you asked him to come. I gave him three hundred taels of silver and asked him to hide in Xinfeng County. A month later, he found me again and said that his son had been arrested.
He was arrested and I gave him another thousand taels of silver. Later, the more I thought about it, the more something was wrong, so I went to Xinfeng County to look for him. As a result, his wife cried and said that someone was using his son's life to force him to commit suicide. In order to save his son, he had to
Committed suicide."
"Did you see the body?"
Zhang Lei shook his head, "His wife said that he had been cremated, and the neighbors could prove that he had committed suicide."
Guo Song sneered, "He is probably not dead. He pretended to commit suicide and hid. He knows too much. Many people want to kill him, including me."
"Junior brother, what is going on?"
Guo Song sighed, "Brother, I won't hide it from you. I killed the old Sanyuan Demon King of the Yuan family. Only Butler Wu knew that I didn't kill him in a single thought at that time. Now I want to find him and silence him, but I don't know."
where is he?"
Zhang Lei slapped his thigh in frustration, "You told me earlier! I would have killed him for you, and now I don't know where he is."
Zhang Lei frowned again, "That's wrong! It's not you he's guarding against. He said someone captured his son and forced him to commit suicide. Who was that?"
"The person who forced him should be Yuan Xiao, the elder of the Yuan family. He also knew that Yuan Xiao had a dirty secret, so Yuan Xiao was eager to kill him and silence him. He pretended to commit suicide and hid, which should be for Yuan Xiao to see.
.”
Guo Song was also a little unable to sit still. That steward Wu left a letter for him must have something to do with the Lantern Festival.
He stood up and said: "Brother, let's go back! Give me the letter."
