Chapter 726: Whereabouts unknown
Gu Yun entered the Chengjun Palace, and the chief butler who had been waiting in the door came forward to lead him to the main room of the guest house, where everything was already arranged, and there were all kinds of wine, side dishes, and refreshments, and after sitting for a while, the palace chief came over, holding a light envelope in his hand and shaking it in front of Gu Yun's eyes.
"I thought you'd come faster."
Gu Yun stretched out his hand to take it, "I always have to sort out the things that are rewarded." ”
When the palace chief heard this, his eyes swept from Gu Yun's head to his feet, and he swept up and down twice and finally suddenly realized.
"Oh, a new hairpin, what's carved on it? A praying mantis? It's not right for you to quit sex, just a small worm and a pair of praying mantis have a meaning. ”
"And a hairpin." Gu Yun slapped away the hand that Gong Changji was messing with on his head, opened the envelope and took out a thin piece of news from inside.
"Oh~~~~~ hairpin? It turned out to be an order to quit sex? Gong Changji deliberately lengthened his voice, lifted his clothes and sat down on Gu Yun's right hand, picked up the wine jug and filled the two with wine, seemingly teasing and joking, but in fact, all his attention was on Gu Yun, ready to press him on the chair at any time.
The thin page in Gu Yun's hand, he read it four or five times, and the more he looked at it, the more ugly his face became, and finally sighed lightly and put it aside.
That page is actually a proof document, proving that after Bai Yehong's family arrived at Chunshui Fort, they were assigned to serve their sentences, and a mudslide occurred a month later, and the place where the Bai family lived and worked happened to be the hardest-hit area, and several villages at the foot of the mountain were all buried, and all the people in the Bai family were like everyone else, and they were all judged to be missing together.
Seeing that Gu Yun didn't jump to his feet, the palace chief relaxed slightly, pretending to take a sip of wine lightly and snorting twice.
"You know that Chunshui Fort is a traditional mining area and battlefield, for that place from ancient times to the present history has fought countless battles, like a see-saw was snatched and robbed, this is not for the caravan to run and see the environment there with our own eyes, we who have lived in the capital since childhood can not imagine how bad it is. In addition to the army of Chunshui Fort and the head of the overseer who took care of the prisoners' work, almost everyone else didn't know that there was such a thing, but it was a common thing over there, and everyone was insensitive, and I heard the people I sent say that the people over there were reluctant to check the files at first when they learned that someone came to Bai Yehong's family, and the reason was also very direct, if there were no people in the existing crowd, then they would either have completed their sentences or died. ”
"But your people still got them to get the official paperwork."
"Throw money, the people in that place have today and no tomorrow, and money is the best way to connect ghosts and gods."
"Thanks, I'll give you how much money it spent."
"Go, go, I'll send you this money? Don't talk about this. The palace chief lifted the chopsticks and nodded at Gu Yun's wine glass, "The Bai family's affairs have been investigated, drink and drink, and then talk about it after drinking this meal in the future." ”
Gu Yun picked up the wine glass and took a sip before putting it down, looking at the dishes on the table without the appetite for chopsticks, his eyes were straight.
Seeing this scene, the palace chief lost the mood to eat and drink, got up slightly and crossed Gu Yun, reached out and took the document on the table, and slowly folded it back into the envelope.
"This is left here with me, when do you want to tell Bai Ko that her family is gone, you decide for yourself, in short, I promise that the princess and I will not talk to her."
Gu Yun blinked, came back to his senses from his distraction, and looked at Gong Changji blankly, "What did you say?" ”
"I said you should be less in a daze, drink and eat."
Gu Yun raised his right hand and pressed Gong Changji's left wrist, looking into his eyes with blazing eyes, "You really didn't hide my information?" ”
"What do you think I'm hiding from you?"
"If a prisoner has an accident in the place where he is serving his sentence, he should report it to the imperial court, right?"
"That's right."
"The year before last, the winter hunt, the saint was furious with Bai Ko in the tent, telling the past, Bai Yehong was the head of the imperial kitchen at the time, and he was fully responsible for the poor diet of the distinguished guests of the mission, and the saint said to Bai Kom at that time that they would atone for their sins forever."
"Ah, probably."
"If Bai Yehong's family really suffered a catastrophe, would the saint say that they would forever atone for the 50,000 soldiers who went abroad to fight? Only by living can we atone for our sins, but how can we atone for our sins when we die? The lives of his family are worth the lives of 50,000 soldiers and their bereaved families? Since the sage said this, either he really didn't know that Bai Yehong had an accident, and it was the fault of the Criminal Department that he didn't report and conceal the true news, or he ......."
"Either the sage knows that Bai Yehong's family is fine......" The palace chief picked up Gu Yun's train of thought, and suddenly felt a little dry mouth, drank a large sip of wine, and rolled his eyes thoughtfully.
Gu Yun grabbed Gong Changji's expression and squeezed his wrist vigorously, "You really have other news that you haven't told me?" ”
"It's not the news I heard from Chunshui Castle, it's an unconfirmed folk gossip, but if you use the Bai family as an introduction, it seems that you can get in touch with Chunshui Fort."
"Tell me."
"It's your second grandfather's business."
"My second grandfather?!" Gu Yun was stunned for a moment, "What's the matter, it's his business again?" ”
"In your grandfather's generation, only your second grandfather was in the army, right?"
"That's right, the children and grandchildren of his house are all in the army, and I haven't heard that he is now stationed in Chunshui Fort."
"Of course he wasn't in Chunshui Fort, but when the caravan was resting in a town two hundred miles away from Chunshui Fort, he listened to the old people in the town chatting and talking about one thing, at the same point in time, your second grandfather led an army that changed guards to stay in that town for a few days."
Gu Yun's heart was beating violently, he stood up violently with his eyes, the chair creaked loudly behind him, and a girl outside the door immediately asked the prince what he commanded, and was sent down by the palace chief, then got up and helped the chair, and dragged Gu Yun to sit him down.
"Calm down, don't get excited, whatever my people told me, I'll tell you."
"Two places two hundred miles apart, a trip by a war horse in the cavalry is a day, right?"
"That's right, Chunshui Fort is the main mining area, and the road out there is a flat avenue, which is specially maintained every day, and it is very good for horseback riding." Gong Changji blinked innocently with a pure face, "I didn't hint at anything. ”
Gu Yun had just brought it up in one breath, and was swallowed by the palace chief's words.
"Yes, you didn't hint at it, this is a folk gossip about the army on the border, even if I knew, I wouldn't be able to write to my second grandfather for verification, even if it was really related to him, he couldn't admit it."
"The Bai family started as a military chef, if they were really taken away by Second Master Gu, they would have been hiding in the army for so many years, but they can't be verified or falsified, so they can only be talked about as gossip, not seriously."
The palace chief smiled and gave Gu Yun a chopstick dish.
