Chapter 102: After the aftermath, go to Egret Mansion, investigate the truth, and get caught on the
Daxia Kyoto.
The Duke's Mansion.
In the study room.
The old man is practicing calligraphy as always. I don’t know when he started. It seems that a few days ago, after Gu Jinnian became famous at the Daxia Poetry Club, the old man fell in love with calligraphy.
In the words of Uncle Liu, it was once that the old man invited the general to drink at home.
When the mood came, he recited a poem, and then started bragging about being like him.
As a result, someone was drunk and said something in a daze, which roughly meant that if nothing else, the old man's handwriting was really ugly.
The possibility of being like the old man is low, but the possibility of being like His Majesty is very high.
As soon as he said this, the old man became angry.
As for the drunk man, it seems that he is guarding the city gate now. It is unclear whether he is guarding the city gate or working as a cook in the military camp.
Anyway, it didn’t end well.
When Gu Jinnian came to the study, he didn't waste any time and told the old man the whole story.
He remained silent, waiting for the old man's answer.
About a quarter of an hour later.
The old man finally finished writing, which was a bit abnormal. In the past, when he came by himself, the old man would be very excited. No matter what he said, he would answer it immediately.
But this time there is obviously something different.
"Grandpa is about to go on an expedition."
Putting down the brush, the old man did not answer Gu Jinnian's matter, but mentioned another matter.
He is going to war.
"When grandpa goes to war, he will definitely win."
Gu Jinnian nodded. He was not surprised by this incident. After all, the old man was still the number one God of War in Daxia.
In addition, Daxia has been recuperating for twelve years, so fighting a war is not a big problem.
As long as there is no death order and the twelve cities must be captured, the risk is almost zero.
"There is no 100% certainty about war."
"When it was difficult to build morality, there were 1.2 million people on the other side, but we didn't have 50,000 people here. It seemed like an invincible battle, but in the end it was grandpa who had the last laugh."
The old man spoke out, but he did not agree with Gu Jinnian's words.
The battlefield is changing rapidly, and there is absolutely no guarantee of victory. No one knows what the final result will be until it is over.
"grandfather."
"Why are you saying this all of a sudden?"
"Is it possible that His Majesty asked you to capture the Twelve Cities?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Jinnian noticed something was wrong.
There's something wrong with the old man's condition.
Going to the border is not a big problem for the veteran generals, and this declaration of war should not be about capturing twelve cities.
"That's not true."
"It's just that Grandpa said it because of his feelings."
"Jinnian, you must remember what I just said."
"In anything, before the result appears, don't have a winning mentality and prepare for the worst."
"You don't have to worry about grandpa's safety this time when he goes on an expedition. It's just that it may take at least two or three years, or even longer, to go there."
"In other words, you have to be more careful when you act in the future. You can't be like now, making noises and being lawless."
When the old man said this, he seemed a little serious.
"Two or three years?"
"It's just a simple confrontation, why does it take two or three years?"
"Is it possible, Your Majesty?"
When Gu Jinnian heard this, he couldn't help but make deeper guesses.
But before he finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Mr. Gu.
"Don't make wild guesses."
The old man is very serious and doesn't want Gu Jinnian to speculate on some things. If the sky falls, with tall men like them, it won't be Gu Jinnian's turn to interfere.
"Jin Nian, in about half a year, you will leave the academy."
"When the time comes, your father will crown you, and His Majesty will also hold a ceremony for you to be crowned a marquis."
"When you first entered the court, you were a marquis. It is extremely rare in ancient times and modern times. But if you want to wear the crown, you must receive its weight."
"It's not necessarily a good thing that you are so good. If you are just a child from a poor family, it is a good thing. You will be attracted by countless forces. No matter who you choose, your future will be bright."
"But you are a member of our Gu family and grandpa's grandson, so your future is destined to be full of thorns."
"do you understand?"
Perhaps the expedition is about to begin, and the old man must say something.
He knew that Gu Jinnian was very smart, but there were many things that Gu Jinnian didn't know. Today he needed to explain some things.
Listen to the old man's words.
Gu Jinnian nodded. He suppressed all the curiosity in his heart and nodded seriously.
"My grandson understands."
"But grandpa, how many enemies do our Gu family have?"
Gu Jinnian nodded. He knew that people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. Being the most powerful person in Daxia sounds very glorious, but in fact, the pressure he faces is huge.
If you were really a dandy, it would be easier.
But I am not a playboy, and I cannot hide it from others. Everything I have done before has exposed my talents and abilities. It is normal to be jealous of others.
But Gu Jinnian really doesn't know how many enemies the Gu family has.
"The whole world is our enemy."
The old man spoke calmly, and with these four words, Gu Jinnian fell silent.
Isn’t it a bit exaggerated to say that we are enemies of the whole world?
The Gu family hasn't done anything unscrupulous, right?
Besides, I am only the most powerful person in Daxia, not the most powerful person in the Central Continent Dynasty.
Is it that exaggerated?
There was some confusion in his eyes, and Gu Jinnian was puzzled.
"Is Your Majesty an enemy?"
Gu Jinnian frowned and asked. This was an exchange between the grandfather and grandson, and he was not worried about it being spread out.
"Your Majesty is not your enemy, but the imperial power is your enemy. The Gu family is too powerful. There are two marquises in one family, plus a prince. Especially you, you are better than your master. Your future achievements will definitely be no worse than grandpa's. Don't you think so?
enemy?"
The old man stood with his hands behind his hands, looked at Gu Jinnian, and asked.
At this moment, Gu Jinnian understood what the old man meant.
Emperor Yongsheng is not his own enemy.
But imperial power must be its own enemy.
Emperor Yongsheng was not afraid of the Gu family. After all, he was a minister of the Dragon. In addition, he was the emperor's nephew after all, and he was devoted to Daxia, so naturally there was no problem.
But the next generation of emperor is really uncertain. For example, the prince has no enmity against him, and the prince is sensible.
But can he withstand the demands of hundreds of officials? The prince has been taught by Confucian and Taoist celebrities since he was a child. Respecting teachers and respecting Taoism is engraved in his bones. What if in the future hundreds of officials and civil servants ask the prince to weaken the Gu family?
And the reason is that the Gu family has great achievements? Or did the Gu family really make a not-so-big mistake?
No one can tell for sure.
"Is there a way to resolve this?"
Gu Jinnian asked.
"Choose to stand in line, and if you stand well, you will be safe."
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin has a good relationship with the Gu family."
"But it's up to you to think about it yourself."
Mr. Gu replied that the only way to resolve the conflict over imperial power was to take sides.
Moreover, King Qin Li Sui is indeed the best choice. He is a strong contender for the throne. However, if the prince does not make a big mistake, King Qin will not have much possibility.
But if he gets the support of the Gu family, it will be different. He is very likely to become the next generation emperor.
King Qin would definitely be grateful for the Gu family's support, and it would at least keep Gu Jinnian safe.
The old man also had the same idea, but he did not confirm it and asked Gu Jinnian to make his own choice. After all, there were disadvantages to choosing King Qin, but the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.
Still wondering what Gu Jinnian thinks.
"What about the general?"
Gu Jinnian continued to ask.
Gu Jinnian understands the issue of imperial power. As the old man said, it doesn't matter who becomes the emperor, but the imperial power itself.
But Gu Jinnian didn't know about military commanders.
"The prosperity of civil society and the decline of martial arts, the Great Xia Dynasty is now prosperous, and it will not be long before it will usher in a prosperous age."
"At that time, the power of the civil servants will become more and more powerful. Your uncles and uncles may seem to be incompatible with the civil servants now, but in fact they have secretly established a good relationship with them."
"There are quite a few people who have secretly contacted the Kong family."
The old man opened his mouth and raised this matter.
"Even generals are our enemies?"
Gu Jinnian frowned a little. He knew what the old man said. He was prosperous and civilized but weak in martial arts. But he didn't expect that the situation had reached this point.
"Jinnian, there are no eternal enemies in this world, only eternal interests."
"It's not their fault, it's just that everyone needs to make a choice. The Gu family can be stable for three generations."
"But they can't do it, so it's reasonable for them to choose to seek refuge with these literati."
"To put it bluntly, if you had not shown such talent, I am afraid that whether you are willing or not, grandpa, I will find a minister to marry into their family."
The old man spoke.
He doesn't care about this.
"Apart from civil and military affairs, is there anything else?"
Gu Jinnian continued to ask.
If you look carefully at the moment, the imperial power is a potential enemy, but it can be determined. It mainly depends on the political form.
Let alone civil servants, huge interest groups have an unbreakable relationship with aristocratic families.
As for military attachés, due to formal issues, they had to be combined with civilian officials.
However, Gu Jinnian was not afraid in his heart.
When it comes to imperial power, Gu Jinnian has nothing to fear. He has a way to solve it, and this way is the people's support.
Those who serve the people wholeheartedly need not worry about imperial power.
Of course, if the emperor insists on playing the trick of asking his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die, and Gu Jinnian is not a corrupt scholar, if you want to play like this, then I will play with you to the end.
Who is afraid of whom?
The Fuluo Dynasty, the Dajin Dynasty, and even the Zhongzhou Dynasty would all snicker.
Civil servants don't have to worry. If I stand in the people's camp, control your aristocratic families, or form cliques among civil servants, I will sweep them all away with the sword of the people's hearts.
Once the civil servants are dealt with, it will be easier for the generals and forces to deal with them.
Again, Gu Jinnian is indeed not afraid of enemies on the surface.
"the Kongs."
"King of Zhou."
"Immortal Buddhism."
"There is also the Middle-earth Dynasty."
Mr. Gu opened his mouth and mentioned four different forces in one breath, which made Gu Jinnian completely silent.
Good guy, I know that the Gu family has made many enemies, but I really didn't expect that there are all kinds of enemies.
"Grandpa, what's going on with King Zhou, Immortal Buddhism, and the Zhongzhou Dynasty?"
"How did the Gu family provoke them?"
Gu Jinnian couldn't figure it out. The Kong family was also an obvious enemy. He really couldn't figure out the other three forces.
"When your uncle launched the Jiande Campaign, he promised the kings of Zhou to share the world. However, after your uncle secured his position, he only gave certain rewards and did not share the world."
"The king of Zhou has a grudge, so he will definitely have a grudge against Daxia."
The old man answered and told the matter.
"You don't keep your word, but what does this have to do with our Gu family?"
Gu Jinnian frowned. He looked at the old man and really couldn't understand.
"Grandpa, I mentioned it."
"Your uncle really wanted to give half of the country to the King of Zhou. Grandpa, I led 300,000 cavalry to suppress the King of Zhou in the south for four years. After the Great Xia Dynasty was completely stabilized, this matter was dropped."
"Do you think King Zhou hates our Gu family?"
The old man's tone was very calm, and his simple words made him appear domineering.
After leading an army of 300,000 to suppress the south for four years, King Gu Jinnian of Zhou knew a little bit about Taizu's seventh son and the first son to join the vassal.
Support the troops and respect yourself.
When Emperor Jiande was the first person to perform the surgery, he originally wanted to go to the King of Zhou. Later, he felt that it was a bit risky to do it to the King of Zhou, so he went to several other vassal kings to do it.
The King of Zhou was never touched, and in order to protect himself, the King of Zhou vigorously recruited troops and horses.
However, King Zhou was more cautious and did not choose to rebel. This gave the opportunity to the fourth prince, Emperor Yongsheng.
During the period of Emperor Yongsheng's rebellion, he repeatedly asked the King of Zhou to borrow troops and horses. Without the help of the King of Zhou, Emperor Yongsheng might not have succeeded in usurping the throne.
Of course, there is also a big figure among them, that is King Qilin.
The most critical battle was when King Qilin lent the Red Lotus Cavalry.
Therefore, Emperor Yongsheng's success in usurping the throne seems to be a miracle, but it is unknown how many forces were involved behind the scenes.
The king of Zhou was more powerful than the king of Qilin.
However, the relationship between the two was very good, perhaps because they were both tricked by Emperor Yongsheng, so the two were really restless. Many officials in the court also said that they would reduce their power.
However, Emperor Yongsheng did not want civil strife to occur, so he did not take action.
But I didn't expect that this King of Zhou also had a relationship with the Gu family. The old man was indeed an old man, having made so many enemies.
But it is understandable that the Gu family has a great cause and the emperor would not feel at ease unless some enemies come out. It is reasonable and reasonable.
"What about Immortalism, Buddhism, and the Central Continent Dynasty? Old man, what is going on?"
Gu Jinnian was slightly curious.
King Zhou explained clearly, it doesn't matter, why did the Gu family provoke the Immortal, Buddhist and Zhongzhou dynasties again?
"You don't need to know about this matter. It involves Taizu. All in all, in Jinnian, you have to remember not to get too close to the Immortals and Buddhists, including people from the Central Continent Dynasty."
"If they contact you, they must be hiding other things. It seems to be because of the fairy roots, but it is definitely not that simple. It's just that they can't tell you these things."
"You can't get involved in this matter yet, otherwise you will be in big trouble."
The old man is not a riddler, but he has unspeakable secrets. He will definitely tell what he can tell.
"My grandson understands."
Gu Jinnian nodded. At this moment, he finally understood how many enemies the Gu family had.
Basically there are no allies.
But this is not a big problem. I myself want to follow the path of a lonely minister. If I don’t have it, I won’t have it.
Besides, Gu Jinnian didn't want to do something through the Gu family's power. Instead, he might as well establish his own power.
"Jin Nian."
"Grandpa has told you so much, so don't be afraid. No matter how many enemies there are, as long as you do these three things, you don't have to worry."
The old man spoke up.
Gu Jinnian listened attentively.
"First, do things for the people. As long as you serve the people wholeheartedly, public opinion is your greatest weapon. Holding the sword of the people's hearts, you can point at the imperial power at the top and cut down all evil spirits at the bottom."
"Second, know how to advance and retreat. When you should advance, never retreat. When you should retreat, you must also know how to be patient and take life as the priority. As long as a person survives, everything has a chance."
"Third, practice hard in the way of immortal martial arts. Only when you are strong can you be unafraid of all misfortunes."
The old man suggested three ways.
Gu Jinnian also remembered it firmly. He could see that the old man was very serious today. It seemed that there was something that made him so serious. It was precisely because of this that Gu Jinnian did not dare to smile playfully.
"My grandson will definitely remember it, please don't worry grandpa."
Gu Jinnian nodded.
"Well, Jinnian, what grandpa said is not to make you timid in doing things, but to make you clear about some things."
"As I said before, as long as we take care of our family, you can do whatever you want in Daxia."
"After all, the Gu family is not as simple as it seems."
Mr. Gu opened his mouth and revealed some other information between his words.
But the old man obviously didn't want to continue talking, and instead looked at Gu Jinnian.
"Jinnian, you came here to tell grandpa that you are going to Bailu Mansion, right?"
The old man spoke, looking at Gu Jinnian and saying this.
"kindness."
"This is something unusual. My grandson's friend may be in danger, so he must go."
Gu Jinnian opened his mouth and told the old man about this matter.
"good."
"You can go ahead with peace of mind."
"It will take some time for grandpa to go on the expedition. Before he goes, he will take care of some things and eliminate some threats for you."
"Grandpa also has an idea about the drowning."
"However, if you go on this trip, you still have to be more careful. After all, this is not Daxia Kyoto. With your uncle's help, do what you can do and what you can do."
"You can do whatever you want to do if you're supposed to do it. If you're not supposed to do it, you have to bear all the consequences yourself. Do you understand?"
Today’s topic is particularly heavy.
The old man's words made Gu Jinnian feel a little speechless.
But Gu Jinnian also knew in his heart that the old man was about to go on an expedition, so he naturally worried about him and hoped that he could grow up.
Gu Jinnian can feel this.
"clear."
"Grandpa, don't worry."
Gu Jinnian nodded solemnly.
Without saying anything else, he turned around and left.
After leaving the study room.
The old man looked at Gu Jinnian's back with some emotion in his eyes. In fact, he didn't want to be so serious, but for the sake of Gu Jinnian's growth, he could only do this.
After Gu Jinnian left completely, the old man's voice continued to sound.
"Inform those losers that when Jin Nian goes out this time, no matter what happens to you, ask them to refuse them all."
"No one is allowed to help, let him handle it alone."
"Wrong or right, he needs to grow up."
The old man spoke up and said this.
"Yes, sir."
The butler nodded outside.
at the same moment.
Gu Jinnian went to the Xuandeng Division and asked his sixth uncle to prepare some files on all the officials of Bailu Mansion and Jiangling County.
The Xuandeng Division has the right to go to the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Punishment to ask for files.
It's just that Gu Jinnian wants too much information, and even at the fastest speed, he still has to wait until half an hour.
There's enough time.
Gu Jinnian didn't say much. After looking for his sixth uncle Gu Ningya, Gu Jinnian was not in a hurry to return to school, but was thinking about whether to find another person to help him.
Li Sui, King of Qin.
Yes.
The power of the King of Qin is very great, not less than that of the prince, and now he is in charge of supervising the country.
But Gu Jinnian was still hesitant.
The old man's meaning is very simple. You can do whatever you want on this matter, but you can only rely on your own power.
It cannot be done beyond one's own power.
Obviously, the old man probably has some information about this matter. Mr. Wenjing never does anything without reason.
Just like when I first entered Daxia Academy, a small test actually came true.
This case is definitely not as simple as imagined.
Su Wenjing, the old man, and even His Majesty all participated in it, allowing him to investigate, and it was also a test for him.
Gu Jinnian also gradually came back to his senses.
Therefore, if I rely on the power of my uncles, I will probably be stopped by the old man.
However, Gu Jinnian did not go to King Qin in the end.
There is no other reason.
First, it was relying on the power of King Qin, but after all, there was something wrong.
Secondly, it is best not to let too many people know about your outing, especially whether there is the shadow of King Qin behind it?
in this way.
Gu Jinnian returned to the academy.
He placed the file in front of his desk again, intending to review the matter.
The content of the dossier is very simple.
【Zhang Ming Murder Case】
A retired soldier returned home, became addicted to gambling, sold his children, and then caused trouble in the county government because of the money replenishment for demolition, and was finally detained for three months.
After being released from prison, he sneaked into the Wang family and accidentally killed the Wang family servant.
He was then sentenced to execution.
The whole thing was so simple, but because it only took more than ten days from filing to execution, it aroused everyone's suspicion.
Now Wang Fugui went to Bailu Mansion to investigate the matter secretly, but he lost contact.
This means that this matter is indeed not as simple as it seems.
At best, Bailu Mansion was just an ordinary city in the Great Xia Dynasty. Not to mention comparing it to Kyoto, it couldn't even compare with several other cities around Kyoto.
Jiangning Mansion is more than ten times better than Bailu Mansion.
According to Gu Jin's previous life, it was almost a quasi-third-tier city.
There are seventeen counties in Bailu Prefecture, and some have a population of over one million, but not too many.
It's not really a nice place, and it doesn't have any special features.
A place like this could make Wang Fugui lose contact? Gu Jinnian wouldn't believe it if you said there was nothing fishy about it.
After all, Wang Fugui is the son of a wealthy businessman, right?
Is it possible to establish a foothold in Kyoto and lose contact in Bailufu?
Gu Jinnian no longer cares about what secret is hidden behind this.
The people he sent out unexpectedly lost contact. This is what Gu Jinnian is concerned about now.
If Wang Fugui hadn't said he was one of his own, it would have been easier.
But if Wang Fugui said he was one of his own and the other party dared to take action, then don't blame Gu Jinnian for being rude.
It was at this time.
Li Ji's figure appeared.
"Uncle Jinnian."
"The carriages and horses are ready, and the boat from Qingzhou to Bailu Mansion is also ready. When should we set off."
Li Ji appeared in the room and said curiously at the same time.
"How did you come?"
Seeing Li Ji come in, Gu Jinnian couldn't help but frown.
"Huh? Uncle, didn't you ask Su Huaiyu to find me?"
"Didn't you say you were going to Bailu Mansion?"
"Uncle Jinnian, to be honest, I haven't caused any trouble during this time, right?"
"You don't want to take me with you if you want to play, there's no need."
Li Ji was a little depressed.
As soon as he came to the academy today, Su Huaiyu told him that he was going to Bailu Mansion and asked him to prepare his car and boat.
I have been running around for a long time. If I don't take myself with me, wouldn't it be a loss of blood?
Hearing this, Gu Jinnian couldn't help but frown.
At this moment, Su Huaiyu's voice slowly sounded in his ears.
"It would be better to take your grandson with you."
"If there really is an enemy hiding in the dark, the heir apparent of the Gu family or the great grandson of Daxia, they will more or less think twice about it."
“Prevent problems in the future.”
It's a voice transmission.
Outside, Su Huaiyu did not choose to come in, but informed him via voice transmission.
Good guy.
He is truly worthy of being King Gou.
Even if he had to take him with him, he would force his grandson to take him there.
But Su Huaiyu was right.
Grandson of Daxia, who dares to touch him?
With this person here, the risk is much less, and no matter what you do, it will be easier with him.
It would be better to say that he is not as good as his grandson, but that the Gu family has too many enemies, so if he goes outside, he would say something unpleasant.
What can you do if people really don’t give you face?
The sky is high and the emperor is far away.
If I dare to offend you, there must be a back-up.
The backstage of the Daxia Dynasty is nothing more than the four forces, the emperor, the prince, the prince, and the vassal king.
Not to mention the emperor and the Duke of Zhenguo, people from these two factions would not cause trouble for him, but the emperor's most loyal subordinates were actually the only eunuchs left.
The old man is the general he led before.
The prince is most of the civil servants.
In other words, if you bring your grandson with you, as long as the person you meet is not the King of Qilin or the King of Zhou, it will basically be easy to talk to him.
really.
This Li base is very effective.
"Uncle Jinnian, I promise that after I go, I will follow you faithfully."
"Uncle Jinnian, I have never left Kyoto since I was a child. I have never even left the palace. Please take me with you."
Li Ji said with a sad face.
Please ask Gu Jinnian to take him out with you.
"Does the Crown Prince know that you are going out this time?"
Gu Jinnian asked.
"have no idea."
"But it doesn't matter. We can go there for half a month. I told my father before I left that I have been busy with my studies recently and it will probably take half a month before I can go back."
"Right now, the court is discussing the issue of sending troops. My father is very busy, so he probably won't notice me. Besides, we went to Bailu Mansion to complete our schoolwork, not just to have fun. Don't you think it's Uncle Jinnian?"
When it comes to playing, Li Ji's mind becomes very flexible.
I have even thought about my worries.
"OK."
"But this time when you go out, you stay by my side and listen to my instructions. If you dare to act recklessly, you won't be able to follow me out again."
Gu Jinnian spoke up and agreed to go with Li Ji.
"good."
"Uncle, don't worry, if you ask me to go east on this trip, I will never go west."
For a moment, Li Ji was very happy.
"Okay, let's set out at the quarter o'clock today. The carriage and horses are ready. We'll go out in casual clothes. Please bring some money with you."
"Nothing else needs to be prepared."
Gu Jinnian spoke and asked Li Ji to prepare some silver coins.
At the same time, the specific time was stated.
"No problem, I'll come find you later, Uncle Jinnian."
The latter didn't hesitate, got up and left directly.
In this way, Gu Jinnian was the only one left in the room.
Until Haishi.
Uncle Six finally delivered a thick stack of files, which contained information on all officials in Jiangling County, large and small.
"Jinnian, don't say that Uncle Six won't help you."
"Uncle Six took a rough look at it and sorted it out for you. This pile has something to do with our Gu family."
"This stack has nothing to do with our Gu family."
"This large pile of people has a grudge against our Gu family. To be more precise, the people behind them have a grudge against our Gu family."
"Jiangling County is considered the territory of the Kong family. I don't know what you want to do. The old man has already spoken. As long as you leave Kyoto, no matter what you do to us, we will not come forward to help you."
"According to me, you should not get involved in this matter. It would be nice to just stay in Kyoto without taking any risks."
Gu Ningya appeared. He didn't know what Gu Jinnian was going to do, but he still gave him some advice.
I hope Gu Jinnian will not take risks and stay in Kyoto.
"Uncle, is there any danger? Are you afraid that someone will attack me in broad daylight in Daxia?"
"To put it bluntly, if someone dares to do this, then I will stay in Kyoto for the rest of my life and never go anywhere?"
"Don't worry, I'm measured."
Gu Jinnian said a few words.
To be honest, Kyoto must be safer, but the problem is, just because of identity issues, you don’t even dare to leave the city?
So what's the point of living?
To put it bluntly, the emperor would go out for a walk if he had nothing to do. If he really had the ability to kill himself, why not kill the emperor?
Or be more direct and kill the prince.
If the prince dies, King Qin will immediately ascend the throne, and the situation in the court will change instantly.
But is this possible?
If everything can be solved by killing, why should everyone waste time?
There has long been a bloody storm in this world.
"That's okay, just be sensible."
"But Jinnian, this is Uncle Six's token. Please keep it. There are people from the Hanging Division in Jiangling County. If you really need help, just go get my token."
"This is the last thing Uncle Six can do to help you."
Gu Ningya took out a token and handed it to Gu Jinnian.
What Gu Jinnian said actually seemed fine to him.
Indeed, if a man is a man, what’s the point of hiding every day?
Besides, this is the Daxia Dynasty, and we are not going abroad. What dangers are we afraid of encountering in our own territory?
If such a person really commits a crime, the price he pays will be extremely painful.
In a word, the gain outweighs the loss.
"Okay, Uncle Six, when I come back, I will prepare a poem for you."
Gu Jinnian smiled and drew a cake for Gu Ningya.
As soon as the cake was drawn, Gu Ningya immediately beamed.
That's it.
After Gu Ningya left, Gu Jinnian looked at these files and began to flip through them quickly.
Until the ugly time.
Gu Jinnian had to read through thousands of files. Fortunately, he practiced Confucianism and had a photographic memory. Otherwise, it would have been almost impossible to remember so many things in just two hours.
After reading the dossier, Gu Jinnian had a clear idea.
He finally understood why the old man did this.
Gangneung County.
It is basically the territory of the Kong family.
Half of the officials in Jiangling County have a close relationship with the Kong family, and although Jiangling County was at the upper-middle level in the Daxia Dynasty.
But to the south of Jiangling County is Yungui County, not to mention the most prosperous Jiangnan County in Daxia, and Yungui County is where the king of Zhou established his vassal.
Gangneung County does not have any special human geography, but it is the junction point of the north-south road. There is an official road that leads directly to the northwest.
The Daxia Dynasty had to pass through this road to transport grain to the border. It was very important for merchants from the south and north to trade.
It is precisely because of this that relying on north-south trade, Jiangling County can be regarded as an upper-middle level. Without this advantage, it would be just like Shaanxi Province and Yufu, which are horribly poor.
There are often hundreds or even thousands of red fields.
"Involving North-South trade."
"There are forces from other dynasties among them. Jiangling County is an important place. This trip is a good way to learn about Daxia trade."
Gu Jinnian said to himself.
Although Jiangling County is the territory of the Kong family, Gu Jinnian does not intend to flaunt his past.
It's time to be low-key and low-key.
The main purpose is to investigate the case, and the identity will not be exposed unless it is absolutely necessary.
There are four moments of ugliness.
Several figures appeared.
Su Huaiyu, Li Ji, Yaochi Fairy, and Yao Yunrou.
Four people appeared in the room.
Li Ji's face was full of excitement. He was leaving Kyoto for the first time and was naturally very happy.
Su Huaiyu looked very calm and normal.
Fairy Yaochi also looked calm.
It was Yao Yunrou who cast a smiling look from time to time, which made Gu Jinnian feel a little depressed.
"Fairy Yunrou."
"I went here this time, firstly, to investigate the case and complete my schoolwork, and secondly, to rescue Gu's friend. I also asked Fairy Yunrou to do her best to assist Gu."
Gu Jinnian spoke. He knew that Yao Yunrou had an unrestrained personality, but he still hoped that the other party would take such a big matter seriously.
"Don't worry, I can help you in any way you want."
Yao Yunrou answered with a smile.
But this is a bit weird.
Fairy Yaochi on the side snorted lightly, but didn't say much.
"Let's go."
Gu Jinnian opened his mouth and had nothing to say.
The night is getting dark.
The five people disappeared into the academy. Three war horses had been prepared under the academy. They were brought by Li Ji. He was considered to be quite capable.
Five men and three horses.
The reason is also very simple. Fairy Yaochi and Fairy Yunrou are disciples of the Xian family.
Can fly.
No need for horse assistance.
After riding on the war horse.
The five of them did not hesitate and rushed directly towards the outside of Kyoto.
And in the academy.
Su Wenjing had already taken all this into consideration.
"Jin Nian."
"If you can do this well."
"You will really win the hearts of the people in Daxia."
"To solidify the foundation of your destiny."
Su Wenjing's voice murmured, and he stared at Gu Jinnian as he left, with a trace of worry flashing in his eyes.
It seems that there will be a lot of trouble when we go out this time.
only.
Gu Jinnian didn't know all this.
in this way.
Until noon.
The five people rushed all the way to Qingzhou without stopping at all, and directly boarded the prepared boat to cross the river.
Starting from Kyoto, we headed northwest to Qingzhou, which is separated from Jiangling County by a big river.
It takes a day and a half to cross the river.
Fortunately, Li Ji also had some ability and got a separate boat to avoid being with other people. After the five people boarded the boat.
The first plan Gu Jinnian made was to let everyone dress up a little.
Fortunately, Li Ji seems to be just a rich man, so this is not a big problem.
He and Su Huaiyu were fine. It wouldn't be a big problem if they didn't dress too ostentatiously. After all, Jiangling County is an important trade center between the north and the south.
Rich people from all walks of life will gather, and a few rich young men will not count.
The problem is Fairy Yaochi and Yao Yunrou.
The two of them looked amazing, and they attracted countless gazes as soon as they stepped out, attracting some attention along the way.
If I go to Jiangling County, I'm afraid it will cause some trouble.
Regarding this matter, Fairy Yaochi was okay, but Fairy Yunrou was a little unhappy.
She was used to being casual and didn't want to make things too complicated.
But he couldn't help Gu Jinnian's seriousness.
Finally, they decided to dress up in disguise after arriving in Jiangling County.
So, two days passed.
The group has finally arrived in Jiangling County.
But as Gu Jinnian guessed, Fairy Yaochi and Fairy Yunrou did attract a lot of attention.
They have seen too many handsome men from rich families. Even Gu Jinnian, Li Ji and Su Huaiyu are nothing. Some rich men even wear gold and silver, with ten gemstone rings on ten fingers.
It looks as exaggerated as it seems.
Fortunately, the two of them dressed up simply, which somewhat covered up their brilliance. They wore simple plain clothes, and Fairy Yunrou's dress was more strict, so there was no problem.
Pair it with a hat, and there won't be any problem.
In this way, after staying in Jiangling County for a day, he did not stop and went straight to Bailu Mansion.
Bailu Mansion is located in the northwest of Jiangling County, and the main north-south trade route is in Tianyun Mansion next door, so Bailu Mansion seems average. You can barely drink some soup, but it is just a little soup.
The official road to Bailu Mansion from Jiangling County seems to be shabby, compared to Kyoto or compared to several other important places in Jiangling County.
It's completely different.
And after Gu Jinnian and the others left the capital of Jiangling County.
Inside the Sheriff's Mansion.
Several figures appeared in front of the Jiangling County Sheriff.
"grown ups."
"Verification has been completed."
"Grandson, the prince has entered Jiangling County and is on his way to Bailu Mansion."
The voice sounded, it was some police officers.
The purple-clad Jiangling County Sheriff spoke slowly after hearing the news.
"Notify Mr. Kong."
"Notify Lord Bailu again."
"Everything is going according to plan."
He spoke in a calm tone.
"yes."
The latter didn't waste any time and left immediately.
After others leave.
The Jiangling County Sheriff's face couldn't help showing a cold look.
"If you dare to reach out to our Jiangling County, I would like to see what the Crown Prince is capable of."
He muttered to himself.
The eyes are complicated.
in this way.
In the twelfth year of Yongsheng's reign, December 2nd.
Gangneung County.
Bailu Mansion.
Outside the capital city.
The sun is blazing in the sky.
Five figures slowly stepped into the city.
Although Bailu Mansion is just an ordinary city, I didn't expect that there would be so many people entering the city every day.
After queuing for half an hour, I finally walked in.
Enter the city.
Gu Jinnian couldn't help but let out a long breath.
But he didn't wait for Gu Jinnian to speak.
In an instant, his expression changed slightly.
Because it's right in front.
There were nearly a hundred men in official uniforms, looking at the five of them with smiles on their faces.
No waiting for reaction.
The voice of the leader, the old man, immediately sounded.
"I, the Lord of Bailu Mansion, Xu Ping, have met His Highness the Grand Sun and His Highness the Crown Prince."
As this voice fell.
All of a sudden, the sound of gongs and drums started to sound.
The dragon dance and firecrackers looked very festive.
The other officials were also smiling.
It attracted the curiosity of the people around.
The expressions of Gu Jinnian and others changed slightly.
Good guy, run all the way and get to Bailu Mansion as quickly as possible.
