Hearing this voice, seeing the people who walked in, all the Gu family members got up together and laughed happily.

The children thought it was interesting, but Gu Qingxuan was a little helpless, he came over on purpose, he just didn't want them to know something, but as soon as this person appeared, everything was exposed at once, and his efforts were in vain.

"Uncle Jiang!" The three sisters and brothers of the Gu family stepped forward to greet each other, surprised and delighted, but really confused.

What is the situation? When did Jiang Hechuan learn badly? He actually lingered in the green building?

"What do you want to do as a family? There are so many restaurants and restaurants in Chang'an City, do you have to choose this place in Luohongge to eat? and the whole family goes out?

They didn't know how to respond, so they only asked suspiciously, "Uncle Jiang, what are you doing here?"

Gu Qingfeng also said: "Uncle, you won't be degenerate, right? Come to this place to play? Eh, I really didn't expect you to be like this, uncle, I'm going to complain to Sister Xiange!"

Jiang Hechuan stroked his beard, looked like a businessman, and counted the silver tickets with his fingers: "No, is my uncle like that? ”

"Collecting debts?" they were even more surprised, Gu Qinghuan asked, "Could it be that this Luo Hongge is also my uncle's business?"

"Shhhhhhh ”

The three sisters and brothers of the Gu family pretended not to believe it, and Gu Qingfeng made a joke about him: "Uncle, don't try to fool us, this is the behind-the-scenes boss of the Qinglou, and you haven't done anything?" We don't believe it, we still have to go to Sister Xiange, and say that uncle, you have learned badly, and you are no longer our pure Uncle Jiang!"

Gu Qingning and Gu Qinghuan also coaxed, Jiang Hechuan was so annoyed by them that he regretted saying it.

Gu Qingxuan sat there, raised his eyes and glanced at him cowardly, and said, "Brother, I can't help it, I came to cover for you, but you confessed all yourself, recruit this gang of annoying spirits, what else do you think I can do?"

Jiang Hechuan looked at Gu Qingxuan's innocent and helpless appearance, and stepped forward and said, "Eh, I'm really sorry to meet your Gu family!

After that, they settled down to eat wine and food, and they didn't think it was weird in this Qinglou box, they were happy, just a joke.

The main topic is Gu Qingfeng's marriage, Jiang Hechuan looked at Qingfeng, then at Qinghuan, and said: "Tsk, our little Qingfeng is about to get married, but Qinghuan hasn't married my daughter yet, this is really, it's really impossible to say." This brother is ahead of his brother......"

Gu Qingxuan glanced at Gu Qinghuan and said, "Isn't that just to blame him for not having the ability?"

Gu Qinghuan was aggrieved, silently raised his glass, and drank sullen wine.

Jiang Hechuan really felt sorry for Qinghuan, patted the back of his hand and said: "No, Qinghuan, it's the girl who is too axial, I can't see through what she's thinking as a father, eh, don't you suffer you? I really want Qinghuan to be my son-in-law, I've thought about it for so many years, why can't I get my wish?"

The old and the young were all distressed, and a few glasses of wine made them even more sad.

"No, it's not about the string song, it's me who is not good, I don't like her, I deserve it...... Uncle, I'll work hard, I must marry Xiange...... I, Gu Qinghuan, will not marry her in this life!" After drinking too much, his sincere words blurted out, and Jiang Hechuan was very moved when he heard it, and the two of them clinked glasses and sighed together, and the others couldn't laugh or cry.

Gu Qingxuan took a sip of wine, looked at Jiang Hechuan, and mentioned a sensitive matter: "Brother, I heard that Yang Rong'an, the son of Yang Longxing, has often run to your Jiangyue Tower recently, and he is also obsessed with string songs, I wonder if my brother has considered marrying the Yang family as a family......?"

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Hechuan's wine glass slammed into the table, and he was angry and scolded Gu Qingxuan: "Brother Qingxuan, are you testing me?"

The atmosphere changed suddenly, and the Gu family sisters and brothers immediately came to their senses and looked at the two elders nervously.

Gu Qingxuan said: "It's not a temptation, it's a direct question, brother, what do I use to tempt you, brother?"

Jiang Hechuan lost his temper and slapped the table and said, "But you don't trust it enough! Otherwise, you shouldn't have asked this question! Brother Qingxuan, you really hurt my heart!"

Gu Qingxuan arched his hand again and again: "Eh, brother, don't be angry, it's me who is wrong, right?" I shouldn't have asked this, I will apologize to you!"

The sisters and brothers of the Gu family also persuaded him, but Jiang Hechuan was stubborn, Gu Qingxuan picked the bottom line that he couldn't touch in his heart, and it was inevitable that he would be angry, an old friend for decades, it was rare to have such a moment, and he refused to show a good face for a long time.

Gu Qingning didn't want to break up unhappily, so she asked Qingfeng to help the drunk Qinghuan go out and wait in the carriage downstairs, and then she tried to persuade the two elders.

After Gu Qingfeng and Gu Qinghuan left, Gu Qingning added a glass of wine to each of them, raised his glass to Jiang Hechuan and said respectfully: "Uncle has supported our Gu family for so many years and has done his best, we are very grateful. My father and my uncle are brothers, and they have been deeply affectionate for many years, and they have helped each other to get to where they are today, and it can be said that my uncle is the person my father trusts and relies on the most in this world, so how can he be suspicious of my uncle? Today, my father asked my uncle this sentence, but he really had no other meaning, and my uncle should not be surprised. ”

"It's just that my uncle is the most aware of our current situation, Yang Longxing has had a lot of trouble with his father in the court, and intends to suppress us, he can't tolerate our family, we and the Yang family will sooner or later reach the point where we are incompatible, and now Yang Rongan is pursuing string songs again, no wonder my father is worried, and I hope my uncle will understand......"

Gu Qingning was so earnest, Jiang Hechuan understood it, and he was angry for a while, looked at Gu Qingxuan, who was dignified, and said: "Eh, of course I know your current situation, so I won't be confused and stand on the opposite side of you, don't worry, who is an enemy and who is a friend, I have never been confused." Yang Rongan is different from his father, I do like this afterlife a little, but no matter how good he is, can he compare with Qing Huan? My surname Jiang will never have anything to do with the Yang family, Brother Qingxuan, you just have to show your strength to deal with them, who cares if his surname is Yang, Yin, Wang, or Chen? I will always stand on the side of your Gu family. ”

Gu Qingning was moved in his heart, watching his father raise his arm and solemnly salut Jiang Hechuan, the two old friends had a tacit understanding.

At this time, it was time to introduce the topic, Gu Qingning looked around, looked at Jiang Hechuan, and said, "Uncle took over this Luo Hongge's business not just to make money, right?"

Jiang Hechuan smiled and said nothing, Gu Qingxuan said: "Qingning, do you know how much important information has been obtained from here by your Uncle Jiang over the past few days? This Luo Hongge is very useful, and it is also hard for your Uncle Jiang to work so hard. ”

Gu Qingning smiled and clinked glasses with Jiang Hechuan: "There is Uncle Lao Jiang." However, my uncle has just taken over the business here, and he hasn't taken care of it himself, so I'm afraid he hasn't fully mastered it yet, right?"

Jiang Hechuan understood what she meant, and said: "Yes, it mainly depends on Jiang Yuelou, most of the forces of this Luo Hongge are still controlled by Fang Gu, and they are not all in my hands." ”

"Actually, Fang Gu is not the one who really controls this Luo Hongge. She said: "The most powerful in Luo Hongge is Qin Hongmo, she controls most of the girls in this pavilion, and lets these girls be used by her, that is, by Yang Longxing, the gold lord behind her......"

Jiang Hechuan was surprised, he really hadn't noticed this, after secretly reaching a deal with Fang Gu, he was directly in charge of capital contributions and dividends, and he hadn't fully developed the role of Luo Hongge, so he didn't figure out the doorway.

Gu Qingning said bluntly: "It's not nice to say, my uncle has been doing things for Yang Longxing for so long. ”

"No, no. Jiang Hechuan was stimulated by her words again, and hurriedly explained to the Gu family's father and daughter: "I don't know about this, and I didn't think of it at this level." ”

Gu Qingning nodded to him to signal him to calm down, and then continued: "We believe that my uncle doesn't know, Qingning said this today, just to tell my uncle that as the real boss behind Luo Hongge, some power must be collected in his own hands." My uncle is a businessman, so he doesn't like to invest his capital to make profits for others, right?"

……

That night, Yang Longxing stayed in Luo Hongge, and Qin Hongmo really told him what Gu Qingning and Gu Qinghuan had done during the day. After he knew that the two sisters and brothers of the Gu family were stirring up trouble and intended to use him as a sword, he was naturally angry and thought about how to punish the two of them in the future.

At night, Yang Longxing, who drank flower wine until he was drunk, fell asleep unconscious, Qin Hongmo heard a knock on the door in a trance, and someone called her name softly outside the door, she was strange in her heart, thinking that it was a benefactor who was secretly hooking up with her, and after confirming that Yang Longxing did not hear it, she hurriedly got up and put on her clothes to stay to see what was going on.

There was no light in the room, and there were many shadows, so she walked to the door, gently pushed the door out, and when she stepped out of the door, she saw that there was no one, and turned to the house again, and suddenly a white silk hung down from above, and accurately wrapped around her thin white neck.

Bai Aya shrank upward, she was tightly entangled, her feet off the ground, hanging in the air, her limbs dancing wildly, her green tendons bursting up, her beautiful face was distorted and hideous, and she couldn't make a trace of despair.

In the darkness, a pair of hands reached out from below and grabbed her ankles and pulled them down, helping her end the painful struggle.

Qin Hongmo immediately suffocated to death......

……

Yang Longxing woke up in Luo Hongge, and the weak water beauty beside him had become a stiff corpse in front of the door.

Her eyes were like falling beads, and she looked at the people in the room without blinking.

"Dead! dead!"

At dawn, the early risers in the corridor witnessed this tragic situation, so they screamed again and again, and everyone gathered around to see Qin Hongmo, who died tragically, and Yang Longxing in her room.

When the dynasty stayed in the Qinglou overnight from the right division of the first product and the third department, the fireworks woman hanged herself in front of her door, and the news spread quickly throughout the government and the opposition.

Although it was impossible to immediately tell whether he killed or committed suicide, Yang Longxing couldn't escape the involvement.

The Criminal Department began to investigate, Chang'an ordered the Yin Mansion to temporarily block Luo Hongge, Yang Longxing was summoned for trial, and on the same day, the Imperial History Observatory impeached Yang Longxing with several bullets, and many officials in the court accused him of losing his morality and deceitfulness......

As a court official, it is a big crime to stay in the Qinglou overnight, so after the news is verified, the emperor immediately ordered to remove him from his position as a priest and stay in the court to be investigated.

The emperor discussed this matter with Yin Jiheng, and Yin Jiheng advised him that this matter must be strictly investigated for important officials of the imperial court, so as to rectify the atmosphere of the government and the opposition, and let the Yushitai participate in the investigation throughout the process, the criminal department is responsible for the investigation, the Yushitai is responsible for the interrogation, and the Dali Temple is responsible for conviction.

The three divisions are judged at the same time, and these three divisions are all under the control of the Yin family and the Gu family.

The emperor approved Yin Jiheng's advice, so the main responsibility for investigating the case fell on the Yushitai.

In the final analysis, Yang Longxing's life and death are all decided by Gu Qingxuan.

……

It was already the time when the willows were on the moon, and the main hall study of the Yin Mansion of the New Prime Minister Mansion was closed with bright candles shining high.

I don't know when this kind of love has become the norm of the Yin Mansion, and that person often comes and goes, and he talks with Yin Jiheng for several hours.

Yin Qixiu knew that they were discussing the rectification of official business, and sometimes they also talked about other things, such as the emperor, such as their different parties......

When my father first took office, he proposed a reform decree, which was approved by the emperor not long ago, and was officially implemented, which had a big impact on the court and the bottom, and the Yin family is still criticized by the audience today, and my father dared to take the risk of being pointed out by thousands of people, gritting his teeth to implement this decree to the end, and his resolute and tough attitude was so inflexible that Yin Qixiu was always suspicious.

Even he could see that that person was using his father as a shield, how could his father himself not know?

Yin Qixiu walked towards the door of the study, but before he reached the door, the main door of the study opened first, and he was facing Yin Jiheng who was walking out.

Yin Jiheng didn't pay attention to him, but turned around at the door and sent out another person inside as a gift.

After the man walked out, Yin Qixiu also stepped forward and saluted him: "I've seen Master Gu." ”

Gu Qingxuan looked at Yin Qixiu, there seemed to be appreciation in his eyes, he had learned about the three sons of the Yin family, and knew that they were all quite talented and extraordinary, which was rare for the children of the family, and he did appreciate such a descendant.

"Yin Shilang has been investigating the case hard recently, I wonder if there is any new progress in the Luo Hongge case?" he asked casually.

Yin Qixiu raised his eyes and glanced at him, and couldn't help but say with a cold face: "The one in charge of the presiding judge is the Yushitai, so naturally Master Gu can make any progress if he wants......

Yin Jiheng coughed, made a serious gesture, interrupted him, and said, "Qi Xiu, don't talk nonsense." ”

His eyes were gloomy, his face was full of unhappiness, and he arched his hand again, and said, "Late life is rude nonsense, Master Gu don't be surprised." ”

Gu Qingxuan always kept a smile, looked at him like a kind elder, and said, "No rudeness, no rudeness, Yin Shilang is very right." Since Yu Shitai is in charge of the trial, he naturally has to be conscientious, cooperate with the Criminal Department to find out the truth, and sentence impartially. The stakes are very high, and everyone in the imperial history platform does not want to punish the sinners as soon as possible to clean up the court, and Gu's hope is nothing more than that, I just hope that the future will go smoothly, and it will be beneficial to the court, the emperor, the prime minister's mansion, you, and me. ”

"Hmph. He chuckled and said, "If everyone wins, someone will lose, right?"

"Yes. Gu Qingxuan replied directly: "However, it depends on who it is, some people are innocent, and some people are innocent." ”

Gu Qingxuan turned around indifferently, saluted the father and son, and said, "Gu doesn't bother much, so I'll leave." ”

Yin Qixiu stood sullenly in place, not making a sound.

Yin Jiheng took his hand very eagerly and said, "Okay, the old man won't bother Brother Gu Xian, go, the old man will send you out of the house." ”

"The Prime Minister stays, and Gu leaves by himself with the housekeeper, how can you bother the adults to send him off?" After speaking, he bowed and retreated, and turned away.

After watching Gu Qingxuan disappear at the end of the courtyard, the smile on Yin Jiheng's face disappeared, and he turned to look at his youngest son and asked, "Qi Xiu, what's wrong with you?"

Yin Qixiu asked rhetorically, "Doesn't my father have any opinion of him?"

Yin Jiheng said: "From the perspective of my father, he is a great talent of the country and a peerless person. Gu Qingxuan, Gu Qingxuan, his talent is like his scheming, it is unfathomable, and mortals are out of reach. ”

Yin Qixiu sighed and said, "It's such a terrible person." The child just didn't worry about him all the time, thinking that he was taking advantage of his father......"

Yin Jiheng smiled and said proudly: "Use me, it's not that he is using his father, but whether his father is willing to be used by him." Gu Qingxuan, Gu Qingxuan, he either uses the world as a chess, and the world can use him as a chess. ”

Yin Qixiu thought for a moment and said, "But father, his rectification and reform of the official and business policies is really too bitter for you, how many people have you offended at this time? How unfavorable it is to the Yin family? Why should my father be his shield? Now that we are on the cusp, it is better for him to move his mouth behind his back......

Yin Jiheng looked at his son intently and laughed out loud: "Being him is my shield? Why do you think that your father listened to him before mentioning this decree?"

"Ah, didn't he instigate my father? But father, you have always been shrewd and sociable and kind to others, how could you make such a sharp proposal? What good is it for my father to offend most of the courtiers at once?"

"This stupid son, why don't you understand? How easy is it to be this prime minister for your father? Whose face is still seen behind this? There is only one person, and that is Your Majesty. His Majesty has given the Yin family the status and power today, not just greedy for a little business assets of the Yin family, he wants me to contribute to the implementation of the new policy and the rectification of the dynasty, which is also the intention of His Majesty to suppress officials and businessmen, but as an emperor, he has some propositions that cannot be said explicitly, so your father has to say what he wants to say in the court and do what he wants to do, even if it will offend the people of the world, he can't offend him alone!"

"In this way, my father is not acting as Gu Qingxuan's shield, but as His Majesty's shield......" Yin Qixiu was a little stunned and felt heavy.

"Gu Qingxuan, hmph, he's not qualified enough!"

The ambition in Yin Jiheng's eyes was sharp: "Do you know what it means to help Your Majesty complete the rule of rejuvenating the country? It means that the name of your father means that the Yin family will go down in history! As for other utilitarian benefits, what is the regret of gains and losses?"

……

However, Yin Jiheng did not expect that after Gu Qingxuan went out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he did not return home directly, but went to the palace by car.

Even though it was night, Chen Jingxing still quickly allowed him to go to the imperial study to see the driver.

He handed over a heavy submission and said, "Your Majesty, the suppression of officials and businessmen has achieved initial results, and we can move on to the next step." ”

Next is a deeper layer, which is divided into two major contents, one is to rectify the rule of officials, and the other is to support people and businesses.

"Okay! The prosperity of the Great Qi begins here!"
