Seeing that several people at the wine table were about to stand up and beat him, Gu Qian frowned, and couldn't help but take a step back.

Seeing his fear, the leader laughed, "How is it, admit it?"

"Hmph," Gu Qian snorted coldly, "Afraid, why should I be afraid of you?" Saying that, Gu Xiaojiu and Gu Tai had already rushed over, and when they saw that the people in the box were going to do something to their own adults, they couldn't help but shout: "Who are you? Who gave you the courage to beat the court officials?"

"Are you an official?" The person led by him paused, raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Qian a few times, and sneered: "I don't know how many levels and grades this official has, what kind of position he has?"

Seeing the contempt in the other party's eyes, Gu Tai snorted angrily, "My lord is the Xuanda Patrol Defense History of the Holy Lord, how can you slander at will?"

"It's just a royal history, and you dare to run in front of the master to play prestige!"

"You!" Gu Tai was so angry by his arrogant attitude that he shouted: "What is your identity to belittle my master so much?"

"Hmph, you are white, what qualifications do you have to know my identity?" the man glanced at him, and said coldly to the fox friends who were watching the excitement, "What are you doing in a daze, and you don't want to drive people out?"

"Hahaha, I'll just say, in this Datong City, who dares to get along with our General Zhu?"

"What are you doing?" Seeing that the old man was humiliated, Gu Tai stood in front of Gu Qian, his eyes were about to split.

"What are you doing? For the sake of this little white face being a royal history, you won't be embarrassed by you, otherwise my fist will not be a vegetarian!"

"Bullying people, the wicked sue first, is there any royal law?" Being bullied like this, Gu Xiaojiu jumped out in anger.

"Is it up to you whether there is a royal law or not?" The younger brother at the end sneered, "Do you see our eldest brother?"

General Fengguo?Gu Qian's eyes froze, there are not many dragon sons and grandsons of the Zhu family in Datong City, I don't know which one this is?

The people on both sides were pushing and shoving, only to hear a rush of footsteps coming from downstairs, "What are you doing?

It turned out that the officers and soldiers who patrolled the city arrived, because Datong repeatedly rebelled, after Zheng Zhen took office, he was very tidy up on military affairs, and he was afraid of the ugly thing of joining forces inside and outside, and he strengthened the supervision of Datong City, Gu Qian stayed in Datong for a long time, and he was familiar with his face on the street, and saw him go upstairs to negotiate with the guests, and the shopkeeper thought that he couldn't afford to provoke, so he hurriedly went to ask the officers and soldiers who patrolled the city to help.

"Who are you?" The man at the head saw that the officers and soldiers were not afraid at all, and still drank loudly.

"Who are you?" the leader's Xiaoqi was embarrassed by the man and frowned.

"Our eldest brother is the son of the dragon and the grandson of the dragon, and he is the descendant of the Taiyuan Dynasty, and Zhu Chongyao, the general of Fengguo. ”

"It turned out to be General Zhu, disrespectful and disrespectful. Xiaoqi arched his hand, his attitude was respectful, but he was not afraid, because the descendants of the Zhu family were all over the world, neither could the imperial examination, nor could they do business, and most of the people who attacked the position of Fengguo General were also the fourth grandson and the fifth grandson, even if the status was precious, it was just a final title, and he could only receive a salary, without any real power, and in terms of status, it was not as good as a thousand households.

Because of the arrival of the officers and soldiers patrolling the city, the small staircase was already crowded with people, and Gu Qian was protected by Gu Tai and Gu Xiaojiu and squeezed into the wing room on the other side.

"Huh, where's that little white face, why did you run away?" shouted the boy who was standing at the end.

"Prince Wang, Lord Gu is a court official, don't be too disrespectful. Xiaoqi frowned and reminded in a low voice.

"Cut, but a seventh-grade petty official, where can he be compared with our General Zhu?" Wang Gongzi sneered and said, "If you have the ability to come up and provoke, then don't run, but with a mouth, if you really want to do it, don't you just coax it immediately?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter and whistles in the box.

Gu Qian was so angry that he pushed Gu Tai away and was about to rush over.

"My lord, Wen doesn't fight with martial arts, and we have no chance of winning against those rough people. ”

"If you don't go out today, it will be a big shame!" Gu Qian said angrily.

"To be humiliated now, to take revenge in the future, or to go out and be beaten up, which is more humiliating?"

Gu Qian choked, it seems that the latter is more embarrassing, the dignified imperial history was beaten by life, outsiders will not pity him, they will only laugh at him for being incompetent.

"Yo, that's it?" Seeing the three of them go downstairs in disgrace, Wang Gongzi shouted.

Gu Qian glanced up at him, remembered his appearance deeply, and threw up his sleeves and left.

Soon, the rumor that Gu Yushi was severely humiliated by General Fengguo spread in the streets and alleys of Datong City, for this matter, Xu Yanlin also specially called him over to inquire carefully, obviously lost people, but he still had to bother to cover up, Gu Qian also felt quite boring, but now it was not the time to poke it out, he could only endure it.

Xu Yanlin had the intention to stand up for him, but when he saw him shrinking like a quail, he could only sigh and give up.

Yushi and General Fengguo faced each other, not only did they not earn face, but they lost the inside, this world is still the world surnamed Zhu, which one of the Fengzi and Longsun dares to provoke?

Under the praise of well-intentioned people, Zhu Chongyao became more and more powerful in Datong City, bullying men and women, and arguing about government and politics.

Gu Qian was humiliated before, and many people were still watching jokes in secret, and when Zhu Chongyao was praised as more and more arrogant and unreasonable, many people realized that something was wrong, and a Fengguo general dared to be domineering in Datong City, was it too much to give him face?

There are many people who have been humiliated by Zhu Chongyao, but Gu Qian's humiliation is not eye-catching, they are just choking a few words in the restaurant, at least Gu Qian was not beaten, and his personal safety has been guaranteed, compared to those women who committed suicide by Zhu Chongyao, those few smashed and dilapidated shops, Gu Daren is lucky enough.

"I heard that you were bullied?" On this day, when Gu Qian returned from going out, he saw the man standing in the small courtyard with his hands in his hands at a glance.

The man's eyes are like Langxing, his temples are like a knife, he is wearing a flying fish suit, and he has an embroidered spring knife on his waist, who is not Lu Ji?

"Senior brother, why are you here?" Gu Qian showed a look of joy on his face and hurried over.

"Your recital has been read by the saint, and the holy decree of Shen Yu has also been issued to the Taiyuan Dynasty Palace, and Zhu Chongyao will be punished in a few days, and you can also breathe a sigh of relief. Lu Ji turned his head and said lightly.

"Senior Brother Xie cares," Hearing that Zhu Chongyao was punished, Gu Qian was in a good mood, and asked Lu Jidao with a smile, "Senior brother is passing by this time or is it a business trip? ”

Seeing the bright smile on his face, Lu Ji nodded.

Because of Lu Ji's occupation, Gu Qian generally doesn't ask him what he is going to do, if he is passing by, he will arrange for Lu Ji to rest for a night, if it is a business trip, Lu Ji can live if he wants, and he is not reluctant to live, although the two of them have some senior brothers, but Gu Qian knows that he actually took the initiative to send Lu Ji, after all, Lu Ji is a brocade guard with a transcendent status, if you want to live well in ancient times, you have to find a backer.

Facts have proved that his "mentor" Xu Shangshu is unreliable, and at the critical moment, he has to act ruthlessly Jinyiwei, of course, Gu Qian didn't expect Lu Ji to block the sword for him, as long as he was in trouble, just pull him a little.

Wine and food were placed in the hall, and Lu Ji and Gu Qian quickly pushed the cups and changed them. Lu Ji held real power at a young age, his mind was not shrewd and cunning, he could get along well with Gu Qian, he himself was very surprised, he had admired Gu Qian's fearlessness of power before, until he witnessed Gu Tanhua's brainlessness again and again, Lu Ji felt that it was a miracle that he did not break off friendship with this person.

Probably because Gu Yushi has been selling stupidity, so even if he occasionally gets bored, he has never really been estranged from this person. Above the court, every step is thrilling, especially the Jinyiwei, who leaves no room for work, has seen the darkness of human nature and the sinister of the court, and can maintain a relationship with Gu Qian, probably because he instinctively knows that this person will not harm him.

"Senior brother, Zhu Chongyao is a royal descendant in the end, even if it is like this, the saint will only scold a few words, right?" Gu Qian took a sip of wine and whispered.

"This is a bad statement," Lu Ji shook his head, "Since the vassal king became a vassal king, the relationship between the imperial court and the vassal king has always been very delicate, the acting king's mansion is located in Shanxi, and it has always been the emperor's heart disease.

Gu Qian's eyes lit up, "In this way, Zhu Chongyao and the others will not end well?"

"Not necessarily," Lu Ji shook his head and said, "Zuo can't reprimand the punishment or something, unless he makes something more out of control." ”

It's even more uncontrollable? Gu Qian touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

Similar to Lu Ji's speculation, after the holy decree was issued to the Acting Wangfu, the current Acting King Zhu Chongwei immediately recalled Zhu Chongyao to Taiyuan, severely reprimanded him, and punished him for two years, so that he could think about it behind closed doors.

The descendants of the Zhu family can't do business through the imperial examination, and they only live on a meager income, which is worse than the average rich and noble, how can Zhu Chongyao stand this fine, and finally endure a month of thinking about it behind closed doors, he went to Datong in anger, and he has already inquired about it, it was Gu Yushi who choked with him who told him, and if he didn't clean up Gu Yushi, he couldn't swallow this breath.

"What? Our house was burned?" On this day, before Gu Qian was off duty, he heard Gu Xiaojiu panting to report the news.

"Yes, master, someone throws torches at our house in the blue sky and daylight, it's really too lawless!" Gu Xiaojiu wiped his face with black ashes and said angrily.

"How's the house doing? It's not burned down, has it?"

"The east wing room was burned, and the other rooms were fine, but they were splashed with water in the yard, and they couldn't live in it!"

"What about your brother Tai? Why didn't you see him?" The house can be rebuilt after it burns, and if something happens, it will be troublesome, Gu Qian didn't see Gu Tai, and his heart suddenly lifted.

"Brother Tai is taking inventory at home, and he has to deal with the errand service who comes to the door. ”

"It's okay if your brother Tai is fine, let's go back quickly. ”

The two of them hurried back to the small courtyard, and before they got closer, they saw a circle of people outside the courtyard, pointing at the small courtyard. Pushing aside the crowd and walking over, I saw that the gate of the small courtyard was open, the roof of the east wing had collapsed, and wisps of green smoke came out of the collapsed houses from time to time.

"My lord, are you back?" Gu Tai described as embarrassed, and when he saw Gu Qian coming back, he bowed his hand apologetically.

"It's good that people are okay. Gu Qian patted him on the shoulder and asked in a deep voice, "Did you see the arsonist?"

"They threw torches and ran away, and by the time Xiao Jiu and I found out that the beams were on fire, it was too late. Gu Tai pointed indignantly to the still smoking East Wing, and said angrily, "I heard from the neighbors that it was a few ruffians from East Street who set the fire, and they ran away after throwing torches." ”

"Didn't send a messenger to chase after you?"

"I went, but by the time the officers found the house and arrested them, they had already left the city. ”

"Why do we set fire to our house if we have no grievances with them?" Gu Qian was puzzled.

"I don't know," Gu Tai frowned, and said, "Is there a mastermind behind the scenes?"

Gu Qian was puzzled, so he could only arrange to clean up the courtyard and renovate the house, fortunately he had already bought this courtyard, otherwise it would be difficult to explain to the landlord.

The family's house was set on fire, and when he reported to the official but couldn't catch anyone, he didn't even find out the behind-the-scenes instructions, Gu Qian couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. Fortunately, he was also unlucky, and although he was frustrated, he did not reach the point where he couldn't eat or sleep.

It's just that at this time, it's early winter, and the leaky house can't be lived, so I can only find a way to rent a small yard to live in.

"How did you live here?" When Gu Qian saw Lu Ji's big red brocade robe again, his whole body was almost frozen, he welcomed Lu Ji in with a smile, and stood in front of the brazier in the house and stomped his feet.

"What the hell is going on?" Although Lu Ji disliked him a little, his junior brother was bullied, and Lord Lu didn't follow him.

"My house was burned down the other day, and the ruffians who set it on fire ran away, and no one has been caught. ”

"A few ruffians dare to set fire to the mansion of the imperial court?" they ate the bear's heart and leopard gall?" Lu Ji's eyes flashed with fierceness.

"But I can't think of anyone I've offended. Gu Qian said innocently.

Why is it so useless!Lu Ji glared at him and said, "Can't you think of it?"

Gu Qian smiled bitterly, "Except for Xiao Jiu and Zihe, where do I have manpower." ”

"You've been in Datong City for two years, and you haven't even made any friends?"

"I have friends, but they haven't figured out who is trying to harm me. ”

Looking at Gu Yushi with an innocent face, Lu Qianhu was really angry, obviously it was Yushi, but he didn't have a shrewd head, and he didn't know how he got the Tanhua exam, could it be that he was stupid to read?

"You won't ask me for help?" Not to mention anything else, Jin Yiwei is a veteran in investigating cases.

"Aren't you here?"

This is justified, it's just, it's just...... Lu Qianhu was extremely angry, and suddenly felt a little weak, he really hadn't seen the second one as shameless as his junior brother.

"Alright, I'll help you figure out what's behind it. Looking at Gu Yushi's expression of hope, Lu Ji agreed.

"Thank you, brother!"

This time, Lu sent to Datong but he had business to deal with, to help Gu Qian investigate the case, and to wait until he had time to talk about it, but it was a coincidence, and before he could free his hand, there was a big incident in Datong City.

At the beginning of the wind, the forage field of the Datong military camp suddenly burst into flames, and the fire soared to the sky, reflecting half of the sky of Datong City.

"What did you say? The forage field is on fire?" Hearing the report of his subordinates, Lu Jiluo stood up suddenly, his face was gloomy, he picked up the horsewhip and walked out.

"Senior brother, where are you going?" Gu Qian pulled his shoes and hurriedly ran out.

Seeing Gu Yushi's disheveled appearance, Lu Ji's face froze, and he said, "Go and put on a coat and come out again." ”

"Senior brother, what's wrong?"

"The hay yard is on fire. Lu Ji said coldly.

"Forage field?" Gu Qian paused for a moment before remembering where the forage field was and what it was for, "Is the fire big? The forage field is on fire, so how can the horses survive the winter this year!"

Horses have no food, so they must not starve to death!

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Gu Qian hurriedly entered the house to change his clothes, followed Lu Ji and walked out, faintly smelling the burning breath as he walked, and when he looked up, the dark night sky had been reflected red by red flames.

"It's over now!" Gu Qian said dumbfounded, "The forage in Datong City won't be burned out, right? What can I do about this? Will we mobilize forage from Hunyuan and Yanghe? I don't know if there are enough reserves over there." ”

Lu Ji's face sank like water, and while turning over his horse, he said coldly, "The grasslands of Hunyuan and Yanghe have burned down. ”

"What?" Gu Qian's feet slipped and almost fell off the stirrups, he looked at Lu Ji in disbelief, and stammered, "Then, it's also burned over there?"

"What do you think I'm doing here?" Lu Ji glanced at him and said indifferently, "The grassland in Northern Xinjiang continues to catch fire, counting today's incident, it is already the seventh. ”

My good man, Gu Qian stroked his chest, seven fires, did it burn seven grasslands? Such a big deal is not something that is done ordinarily, but I don't know if it's a Tatar or an internal ghost?

Guessing all the way, galloping all the way, and by the time they arrived at the forage field located outside the city, the warehouse where the forage had been stored for a winter had been burned to ashes.

"It's really unreasonable!" Zheng Zhen, the general soldier of Datong, had already arrived, looking at the piles of black ash, and his teeth were chattering with anger.

"The general is angry, it is better to find out the cause of the fire first. Although Governor Xu's face was ugly, he still grasped the point.

"Check, check hard, I'm going to see who's doing it. ”

"What if it's an accident, the wind has just risen, and a little spark can set the prairie on fire. Someone whispered.

"The forage field is a military powerhouse, and you are not allowed to see Mars within a radius of ten miles, where did the accident come from?" Zheng Zhen glared angrily.

"But it's not like this kind of accident hasn't happened before......"

"Who's talking? Kind of stand up!"

No one stepped forward, everyone bowed their heads.

"It's not an accident," Lu Ji, who came on a flying horse, said coldly, "The fire in the Datong grassland is not the first one, two days ago, the grasslands of Hunyuanwei, Yang and Wei were burned one after another, if it was an accident, it would be too frequent." ”

The fire in one grassland was an accident, but were two or three accidents? What's more, Lu Ji didn't reveal more to everyone present, because what he only knew was the seventh.

Seven grasslands were burned, even if Jing Chao's family was rich, he could not afford the loss of burning seven grasslands at the same time, because the grasslands that caught fire were all in northern Xinjiang, and once the supply was not effective, the army's combat effectiveness would have problems.

And every year in late autumn and early winter, it is the peak period of Tatar knocking, and at this time the enemy takes advantage of the loopholes, and the consequences are unimaginable.

The generals of Datong City only saw the loss of Datong grassland, but in Lu Ji's eyes, they linked several fires of grassland, and when Hunyuan and other places caught fire before, he received the task of secret investigation, but before he arrived, there were several grassland fires one after another, which shows how serious the matter is.

"Senior brother, do you have any clues there?" Zheng Zhen and the others all gathered in front of the grassland with calm faces, waiting for the experienced veterans to find clues to the fire, Gu Qian saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he quietly rubbed to Lu Ji's side and asked in a low voice.

Lu Ji shook his head, he had just come out of the capital and had not yet found valuable clues.

As soon as he heard that Lu Ji had no clue, Gu Qian's brows furrowed, it was definitely not an ordinary force that could cause seven fires, but who was it? Even if it was a Tatar, someone had to do it, because the appearance of the Tatars was different from that of the Jing Dynasty, and they would be targeted as soon as they entered the customs.

But who is it? Xiao Jing of the Datong Left Guard has just been executed, who would continue to collude with the Tatars so indifferently? Gu Qian was puzzled, so he could only frown and follow Lu Ji around. Although he is the imperial history, investigating cases is really not his specialty, so he can only take one step at a time.

"Set fire...... Gu Qian looked at the burned pasture, thought about his small courtyard with a collapsed roof, and muttered, "There are really no one who has experienced two fires in a few days." ”

"What are you talking about?" Lu Ji asked, turning his head.

"I didn't say anything," Gu Qian said with a smile, "I just feel unlucky, there was a fire at home first, and another fire broke out outside the city, and this fire gave me a headache." ”

He was making fun of his words, but he saw Lu Ji's face change suddenly, "The fire in your house is so strange, how can you burn the roof with just an ordinary torch?"

"You're saying they used something to fuel the fire?"

Lu Ji didn't say a word, and turned his gaze to the still smoking ash pile, and his expression suddenly became complicated.
