Steward Zhang was silent, and Gao Yu didn't speak again for a long time. The closed and narrow secret room in this study is obviously not for people to be in a daze, and Gao Yu's silence is to cool his feelings.

Gao Yu has been in the Ministry of Officials for more than ten years, and what he has seen the most is the ups and downs of officialdom, and he has been deliberately hiding his ability to do things before he is not sure what the emperor's attitude is towards him. Since he was promoted to the rank of the servant, his official rank has not changed for four years, and the accumulation of years of practice will more or less affect his character, and Gao Yu is no longer a person who is prone to emotional fluctuations.

It's just that the sudden appearance of that person is just a face-to-face effort, and a group of dead soldiers he has carefully cultivated are about to be broken. And the other party also used the presence of his subordinates to lay out a ** plan for him, so that he had to cancel a plan that was about to take shape. Not only that, but his life may have to change dramatically in the future.

Regardless of whether this qiē was deliberately arranged by that person or caused by coincidence, Gao Yu couldn't let himself relax his attitude on this matter. For this reason, he also had a feeling of anxiety and anger in his heart that was almost uncontrollable, and finally opened the gate of love in front of his most trusted steward Zhang.

After squatting on the ground in silence for a while, Gao Yu slowly stood up and said, "It will inevitably arouse Tieda's suspicions, you have to grasp the time, you can't be too anxious, and you can't delay it too long...... Take medicine to send him away, don't use someone who has a relationship with him to take care of him. ”

Steward Zhang nodded and didn't say anything.

Gao Yu glanced at the several silver boxes scattered in the secret room, and said slowly: "I want to ask you to transfer this silver." A few days later, I asked Xiaoyu to take the children to play with my father-in-law, and you take these with you, and then divide them out when you get there. ”

Steward Zhang nodded again, only this time he was not silent again, after hesitating for a moment. He asked, "If anything happens to you, even if I transfer it, it won't help." The entire Zhao Kingdom is in the hands of the emperor, if he wants to check you, I am afraid that we will not be able to escape in the end, and if we do this, I am afraid that even the old father-in-law's family will be affected. ”

"This is still a precautionary measure, the forest fir may not be coming for me, what I just said is just the worst possibility." Gao Yu looked at Steward Zhang, and his face softened. He continued: "Sometimes the verdict can only be based on the evidence, otherwise there would not be so many cases of conviction in the world. On the other hand, if there is no evidence, if other names are pressed over, I can still have room for maneuver and resolution. ”

"Anyway, I'm not a blank slate in the eyes of the emperor, if someone else wants to pour some sewage on me, what is it!" Gao Yu sneered a few times, "At present, Lin Shan's identity is still hidden. While there are still many limitations on his mobility, I have to hurry up and sort out some affairs of the Ministry of Officials. ”

After saying this, the discussion of the secret room has also ended for the time being. Gao Yu finally showed a smile on his face, and said to Steward Zhang: "That's it, these things came a little suddenly, but Uncle Zhang don't feel pressure." Whatever happens to the Gao family, I Gao Yu is in the way. ”

Steward Zhang stared for a moment before bowing his head and saying, "You should be careful about everything." I can't help you with anything, but I will take care of all the affairs at home. ”

"I know." Gao Yu's eyes warmed, and he shook Steward Zhang's arm, "This has already helped me a lot." ”

……

Kyoto is facing the sea in the east, and the red sun is getting higher and higher, and the people who enter the city slowly gather in front of the morning glow gate, and they are lined up in two neat lines under the maintenance of the soldiers who defend the city.

Most of the people who entered the city through the Asaka Gate were fishermen. There are also some businessmen from overseas. Probably because today is the second day of the Spring Enlightenment Festival. There has been a sudden increase in the number of maritime merchants, but this perception is only the result of what the local residents of Kyoto have seen and heard, and it is not difficult for those with a sharper eye to see that there are visitors from the sea who are dressed and hairstyled similarly to those of maritime merchants. In fact, it is more likely that they only came to Kyoto to play, and most of them only brought a suitcase with luggage, rather than a car carrying goods.

Even so, the soldiers guarding the Chaoxia Gate will not relax the inspection procedures because of these overseas visitors, so that the passage speed of the Chaoxia Gate today is much slower than usual.

Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, the people who were still queuing in front of the Asaka Gate began to feel dissatisfied, and some of them had the momentum of pointing the finger towards those overseas tourists. Fortunately, this phenomenon has been noticed by the guards of the Chaoxia Gate in advance, and in order to prevent the people from complaining, they ordered to increase the intensity of the city gate guards, and forcibly suppressed the contradictions among the people who had just risen.

In fact, after ten years of rectification, the people's quality on this land under the feet of the Son of Heaven has been tamed very well, but there are still cases of blind coaxing, and if there are foreign people in this place, it hurts the people of other countries, and the meaning is different. Not only that, but there are many people who are the initiators of the turmoil who also like to weave ordinary people into the riot as a shield for them to achieve their goal of rebellion.

But these thoughts are only the business of adults, and in the team composed of adults, there are already a few children who have followed their parents into Beijing because they have not eaten breakfast, and they are already screaming with hunger at this time. The parents of one or two of the children were stared at by the guards at the city gate who heard the noise, and they turned to yell at their own children, and although the children did not dare to shout anymore, they cried in a low voice.

At the tail of this somewhat chaotic procession into the city, there was a family of three with a load of dried fish that seemed relatively quiet.

In fact, the child brought by the family also wanted to make trouble just now, but the child's father promised that if the child could count how many bird's nests there were on the surrounding trees, he would take the whole family to eat Yangchun noodles after entering Beijing later. In this way, the child really did not have the leisure to play tricks, but patiently turned his back to the castle tower, looked at the few large poplar trees outside the city, looked through the clusters of newly grown poplar branches and leaves, and caught the nests made by the birds between the branches of the trees with gray dead branches that they had picked up everywhere.

I don't know how long it took, the line into the city gradually shortened, but there was no one lined up behind this family of three. Later, although some people were about to enter the city, they saw the queue in front of the city gate, so they changed their route and went around the north and south gates.

Just as the faces of the two adults in the family began to have impatience, the two children suddenly broke the silence of counting the bird's nest, pointed to a tall poplar not far away and shouted: "Dad, look there, there seems to be a person lying on his stomach in that big bird's nest!" ”

The two of them were first shocked when they heard this, and then the child's father showed an angry look on his face and did not speak. Only the child's mother laughed and said, "What nonsense, how can there be a person lying in the bird's nest?" It's you, don't keep counting the bird's nests in front of the sun, let the sun's rays break your eyes! ”

When the child's father heard his wife say this, he also realized that something was wrong, and did not despise the child's words anymore, not because he believed what the child said, but out of worry: "Second baby, don't look at it, what if you look bad in the future." You don't have to count the bird's nest, you just need to wait quietly to enter the city, and Dad will take you to eat Yangchun noodles later. ”

"Oh......," the child muttered. After listening to his mother's explanation, he was also incredible, and he couldn't help but look at the bird's nest just now, where he seemed to see someone's head coming out of it.

After getting another promise from his father, the child suddenly lost interest in counting the bird's nest, withdrew his gaze, and thought of eating noodles, the child became happy, took his father's hand and said happily: "Dad, if you don't say it earlier, it will hurt me for a long time." ”

The child's father glared at the child angrily when he heard this, and the child's eyes shrank slightly when he saw this, and he turned his face into his mother's arms. The child's mother stroked the child's hair lovingly, but saw the child looking up and grinning, and the young mother in the jinghai cloth skirt also showed a hint of joy on her face.

When the attention of the three members of the family was removed from the big poplar tree more than a hundred zhang away from the opposite side of the Chaoxia Gate, a person's head was indeed exposed in an unusually huge bird's nest in the canopy of the poplar tree.

Qiao Cui, who followed Lu Sheng from Ke's iron shop and came here, has been lying in this bird's nest since the middle of last night. When he was bored, he also decorated the bird's nest with fresh branches around him, which was really boring.

The smell of bird droppings emanated from the bird's nest, so that Qiao Cui couldn't stick his face in it and stay in one breath for too long, but unexpectedly, the scene of showing his head just now was actually seen by a child who lined up with his parents to enter the city more than a hundred feet away. From that moment on, Jochui somewhat regretted a decision made last night.

Last night, he discussed with Lu Sheng to enter the city from the Asaka Gate, that is because the Asaka Gate is the least crowded of the four main gates in Kyoto, which is also in line with Lu Sheng's mentality of rushing into the city, and it is also one of the reasons why Lu Sheng was able to agree to cooperate with him so quickly last night.

I didn't expect there to be so many people in front of the Asaka Gate today, and because of the increase in overseas tourists, the inspection work of the city gate guards seems to be much slower than usual. This may be due to the fact that the language and habits of overseas visitors are very different from those of the inhabitants of Kyoto, and there are barriers between the guards of the city gate and them, and simply because some foreigners do not agree with the guards of the gate to inspect the packages they carry, the guards have to point fingers and explain for a long time.

As the sun began to shine, Qiao Cui also realized that if he continued to lie on his stomach on the bird's nest like this, it might not be just the child who could see him. But he had to wait for Lu Sheng to come, so he could only wait hard, because once he got off the tree, he was an adult standing in the open space more than a hundred zhang away from the city gate, if he neither entered nor left but wandered in place, it would soon attract the attention of the guards on the city tower, and he discussed with Lu Sheng that the things he wanted to bring into Kyoto would be a little impossible to hide.

He raised his head like a diver and took a deep breath, while looking around, trying to catch the figure of Lu Sheng, and after a fruitless glance, Qiao Cui continued to lie down in the bird's nest. Sticking to a few eggs in the bird's nest at close range, feeling his snort fluttering on the eggs and gently bouncing back, Qiao Cui shrank his eyebrows, and sighed helplessly in his heart: "Lu Sheng, if you don't come back, I will become a birdman who hatches eggs like the nickname given to me by the group!" ”。 (To be continued.)
