Revenge has been avenged, and the next thing is to save your life.

After chatting with the eunuch for a while, Gu Qing immediately ordered to leave for Chang'an, and the aftermath of the Shangzhou Thorn Mansion was handed over to Don Jia, who was trembling with fear when he heard the news.

The group of people acted vigorously and quickly, and in the matter of protecting their lives, Gu Qing would never have the slightest procrastination.

Going out of the city to the west, the horses' hooves rumbled, and the oncoming wind blew the skin on the face a little stinging.

It was already afternoon when he arrived in Chang'an, Gu Qing first went to Zuowei, found Li Guangbi, and got the account books and confessions of the Qian County Order sent by his personal guards.

"Uncle Li, is Qian County Ling still in prison?"

Li Guangbi pointed at him and said angrily: "You are getting bolder, without Yushitai and Dali Temple, you dare to ask the county order privately, and also torture the county order, fortunately, there is ironclad evidence of greed for ink, otherwise you will wait to squat in Dali Temple." ”

Gu Qing said with a smile: "Uncle Li, don't worry, you will soon be able to see the bleak scene of me squatting in Dali Temple." ”

Li Guangbi frowned: "What's the matter?" What trouble have you caused again? ”

Gu Qing smiled bitterly: "What Uncle Li said is as if I was born to be a troublemaker, most of the time I am still very honest, okay......"

"What are you squatting in Dali Temple if you didn't make trouble?" Li Guangbi asked uneasily.

Gu Qing got up and found a bag of wine from a hidden cabinet in Li Guangbi's house, pulled out the stopper and poured a few sips, wiped his mouth, and said lightly: "Oh, what's that...... After reviewing the Qian County Order, I returned to Shangzhou and slaughtered Shangzhou with my hand...... Except for this, I really didn't get into any trouble, Uncle Li, you know me, I'm not the one who causes trouble. ”

Li Guangbi blinked his little mung bean eyes vigorously, and he didn't digest it for a long time.

Gu Qing sat cross-legged across from him, the two of them stared at each other, and the atmosphere was very cold for a while.

After a long time, Li Guangbi coughed and said, "I've been talking a lot lately, and my ears aren't very bright, you repeat, who did you slaughter?" ”

"Shangzhou Thorn History." Gu Qing looked at him innocently.

"Thorn ...... History of thorns? Li Guangbi's voice suddenly raised eight keys: "You killed the Shangzhou Assassin Shi?" ”

"Uncle Li sit down and operate normally."

Li Guangbi was shocked and angry: "You are still so calm, what is the crime of killing and assassinating?" ”

"You might be beheaded, and if you're lucky, you might be exiled for thousands of miles......

Li Guangbi said angrily: "What is it for? Why do you want to kill assassins? ”

"The reason is too complicated, I won't explain it, in a word, he's a bad person." Gu Qing got up and picked up the pile of account books and confessions, and said: "I rushed into the palace and took the initiative to ask for guilt in front of His Majesty, maybe there is a glimmer of life, Uncle Li, that Qian County Order must be optimistic, Mo Shengzhijie, whether I can survive or not depends on him." ”

Li Guangbi flew up and kicked Gu Qingyi, and said angrily: "You get out of here, I'll go find someone to help, after this matter, see how I clean you up, how thick your face can not change and say that you don't cause trouble......"

"It is right to take the initiative to ask Your Majesty for guilt, but you must first ask the concubine Niangniang to intercede, remember to be fast, and let Your Majesty's punishment for you be implemented before the wind rises, if the wind rises, and the court talks about it, then you will be in danger, even Your Majesty can not show favoritism, punish you when the wind does not rise, and wait until everyone knows that you are safe and sound, and Your Majesty's face does not allow him to punish the second time."

Gu Qing smiled: "Yes, I remember." ”

"What are you rubbing, go quickly!"

…………

Han Jie and the guards came to Xingqing Palace with a bunch of account books, Gu Qing took the account books and said with a smile: "Don't go to the palace, go home and wait for news." ”

Han Jie said with a ashamed face: "It's the general's fault that I didn't share the worries for the Hou Ye......

"Do you think I'm going to say, 'Fool, don't blame yourself, I'm not to blame you for this?'"

Hanjie: ???

"Heh, I don't follow the routine. Therefore, in order to make you feel at ease to atone for your sins, I will squat in Dali Temple if there is no accident next, and you are responsible for sending me clean mattresses and clothes and gong bucket night pots, as well as sending me wine and food every day, and getting me a few non-serious picture books, how to get through the relationship between the jailers and figure out their own way, and the money will be withdrawn from my house, just like that, go back. ”

After speaking, Gu Qing turned around and left, leaving a group of stunned guards looking at each other.

Zuo Wei Zhonglang will be able to enter and leave the palace freely, and Gu Qing swaggered into the palace with the account book.

casually dragged a eunuch to inquire about Yang Guifei's location, and learned that the concubine was enjoying spring in the Agarwood Pavilion, Gu Qing immediately walked towards the Agarwood Pavilion.

Coming to the outside of the Agarwood Pavilion, Gu Qing carefully observed, but did not find Li Longji's figure, Gu Qing was overjoyed, hurriedly walked outside the water pavilion, and asked the eunuch to report and ask for a meeting.

Yang Guifei is not the only one in the Agarwood Pavilion, but also Princess Wanchun, a hardcore best friend of Wannian. The sisterhood between the two is obviously not made of plastic, and it looks like a good relationship.

Yang Guifei quickly summoned Gu Qing, and when she saw Gu Qing coming with a pile of account books, Yang Guifei chuckled: "The first time I saw someone giving gifts so grandly, Gu Qing, what do you want to give to this palace?" ”

Gu Qing smiled bitterly: "Niangniang, the minister is not here to give gifts this time, the minister is here to ask for help, begging the concubine Niangniang to save her life." ”

Yang Guifei was taken aback when she heard this, and Princess Wanchun, who was silent next to her, also looked at him in dismay.

"What did you do again?" Yang Guifei asked in a deep voice.

The word "again" is used very carefully, Gu Qing sighed secretly, do all acquaintances and friends think that he is a troublemaker?

On second thought, people are not wrong.

Gu Qing lowered his head and said: "The minister killed someone, and killed Shangzhou Assassin Shi Xingshen." ”

The two daughters were taken aback, and stood up at the same time, and then Princess Wanchun was shocked to realize that Gu Qing's matter had nothing to do with herself? Why is this palace so nervous for some reason? So Princess Wanchun snorted lightly and sat down again, seemingly admiring the lush spring outside the pavilion, but her small and delicate ears were like antennas.

Yang Guifei was so frightened that her face was pale: "You killed the Shangzhou Assassin History?" You, you, you...... Gu Qing, you're too much of a bastard! How can the officials of the court kill in vain, you have caused a catastrophe! ”

Gu Qing said helplessly: "Yes, so the minister has to ask Niangniang for help, His Majesty has not yet known about this matter, can Niangniang help the minister to intercede?" ”

Yang Guifei was so angry that she stomped her feet: "For no reason, why did you kill Shangzhou Assassin?" ”

Gu Qing said seriously: "He's a bad person. ”

There was silence in the pavilion.

What a reason to be out of the ordinary! If you have the guts, you can say the same thing in front of Your Majesty!

Yang Guifei's plump chest rose and fell with anger, and she sat down and held her forehead and said, "This palace doesn't want to take care of it......"

Gu Qing hurriedly said: "Niangniang Mingjian, the minister's sentence just now is just an outline, let's talk about what kind of bad person he is, and how bad it is......"

Then Gu Qing told the story of what Shangzhou had experienced, the situation was serious, Gu Qing didn't dare to add oil and vinegar, every sentence was the truth, and it had not been processed in any way.

It wasn't until after he finished saying that he beheaded Xing Shen with his own hands that Gu Qing stopped.

Yang Guifei and Wan Chun's eyes straightened when they heard this, the two daughters looked at each other, Yang Guifei's eyes were full of helplessness, this guy was happy to take revenge, but even her third sister Mrs. Qiuguo was involved, and in the future, he had to resolve the grudge between him and the third sister in the middle, which was a big trouble.

Wan Chun's eyes lit up when he heard this, and although he didn't say a word, his eyes were full of brilliance, and he kept looking at Gu Qing.

This young man seems to be gentle and elegant, and he is a famous talent in Chang'an, but he didn't expect his temperament to be so straightforward and neat, and he killed a bad guy without saying a word, without thinking about his future and life, he really has a bit of heroic courage.

"Hey, how does it feel to kill someone? Did you cut it down with a single sword, and the head fell? How much blood was shed? Wan Chun suddenly asked.

This question made Yang Guifei and Gu Qing stunned, and they looked at Wan Chun in amazement.

I didn't expect that the princess could ask such a bloody question, and she seemed to be very excited, this is a dark princess.

Seeing Wan Chun's pair of apricot eyes staring at him without blinking, Gu Qing hesitated for a moment and said stiffly, "Uh...... The feeling of killing people is not very good, a little nervous, the blood is all over the place and a little disgusting, the first time the minister beheaded, the craft is not very familiar, the knife only cut into half of the neck, the head is half hung with the neck, it does not fall, the next time the minister will control the strength...... "Battle."

After getting the first-hand information of the murderer, Wan Chun was satisfied and comfortable, and said excitedly: "Then you must tell me before you kill next time, and I will see it with my own eyes." ”

Gu Qing's scalp was numb, she didn't expect her to be this kind of princess......

More than a thousand years later, the best place to return to this is the kind of female prison guards in leather clothes and leather pants uniform, wielding leather whips to train female prisoners through cages...... Well, it's hard to find such a room, and a theme hotel may have it.

Yang Guifei was terrified when she heard this, a layer of goosebumps appeared on her fair skin, she glanced at Gu Qing fiercely, pinched Wan Chun again, and said angrily: "Eyelashes! What the hell is this problem! Isn't the princess afraid of losing her dignity? ”

Wan Chun stuck out his tongue and grinned, then looked at Gu Qing and said: "Of course the bad guy should be killed, you didn't do anything wrong, don't worry, I will help you intercede with my father, and I will forgive you for your innocence......"

Gu Qing thanked him gratefully.

Then Wan Chun shook Yang Guifei's arm and coquettishly said: "Guifei Niangniang also help him, Gu Qing is your little countryman, alone in Chang'an without relatives and no reason, something happened to beg you, how can you bear to be punished by His Majesty?" ”

Yang Guifei sighed and said: "There are extenuating circumstances, but the national law is strict, Gu Qing, this palace can only try its best to help you, storm the government, torture the county order, and kill the assassination, this crime is not light, fortunately, you got the evidence of their murder of greedy ink, this is the only evidence that can help you get rid of the crime, I hope ...... Your Majesty can spare you once. ”

After speaking, Yang Guifei summoned a eunuch and asked where Li Longji was. The eunuch replied respectfully, the Son of Heaven was fishing by the dragon pond not far ahead.

Dragon Pond is a landscape in Xingqing Palace, which is an artificial lake that occupies a large area, and is irrigated by the water of the Qujiang River.

Yang Guifei and Princess Wanchun led Gu Qing to the side of the Dragon Pool.

The dragon pond is heavily guarded, countless left guards and Yulin guards with weapons in their hands are all over the rockery forests and lakes by the dragon pond, seeing Yang Guifei and his party coming, the soldiers did not dare to stop them, and they avoided saluting.

Li Longji sat on the edge of the pool, not very happy, the fish basket next to him was empty, obviously the harvest was dismal, and not a single fish was caught. Colliers stood quietly behind him, smiling wryly.

Yang Guifei approached Li Longji and saw his unhappy appearance, and her heart couldn't help but sink.

It is necessary to have an eye for the Son of Heaven, and the face and mood of the Son of Heaven are directly related to the success or failure rate of the performance. The same thing, the Son of Heaven is happy and carelessly lets it go, if the Son of Heaven is unhappy, it is the thunder and anger, and the wind and clouds change color.

Right now, Li Longji's unhappy face, if he tells Gu Qingchuang's trouble, I'm afraid it won't end well.

Yang Guifei stopped hesitantly, hesitating whether to turn around and go back, and wait for Li Longji to be in a good mood.

When he was hesitating, Li Longji suddenly slammed the fishing rod and said angrily: "There are obviously fish in the pool, why don't you bite my hook?" Can't deception cure their sins? ”

Gao Lishi hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty is angry, fishing is just to pass the time, what you care about is your state of mind......"

"Shut up! Get out of the way! ”

The angry Li Longji turned his head to see Yang Guifei, and finally squeezed out a smile, and said, "The lady is here too?" Fishing is boring, and I was afraid that you would be impatient, so I didn't ask you to accompany you......"

Yang Guifei, Wan Chun, Gu Qing and others saluted Li Longji one after another.

Gu Qing saw Li Longji's unhappy face, and he was also a little frightened, feeling that he was not far from death......

Seeing the empty fish basket on the ground in front of him, Gu Qing blinked, and suddenly smiled: "Your Majesty, everyone in this pond can catch fish in the world, but Your Majesty can't catch it......"

Li Longji's face suddenly became more and more unhappy, and he glared at Gu Qing and said, "Why did Gu Qing say this? ”

Yang Guifei and Wan Chun looked at Gu Qing with a worried face, but Gu Qing was not in a hurry, stepped forward two steps, and said, "Your Majesty is angry, and the ministers are not mocking, but there is a reason for what they say." The minister has a poem, how about inviting Your Majesty and the concubine to taste it? ”

Li Longji snorted and said, "Come quickly." ”

"The jade hook is flourishing, and the warm water of the blue pond is dissolved. All scales dare not swallow incense bait, knowing that it is the king fishing for the dragon. ”

After Gu Qing finished groaning, he bowed to Li Longji, and then stood aside and stopped talking with a smile.

Everyone's eyes lit up, and Li Longji muttered Gu Qing's poem: "...... It is known that the king fishes the dragon and fishes the dragon...... Haha, hahaha! ”

A poem that turned Li Longji, who had found nothing, into joy.

"Good poetry! Gu Qing is worthy of being a talent, and it is a masterpiece at his fingertips, not bad! ”

Gu Qing smiled and said: "Fish is something that only ordinary people catch, Your Majesty swallows the world, looks at all nations, is bound by the destiny of heaven, and the person who fishes should be the territory of thousands of miles, and the hearts of the people in the world." Fishing is not your majesty's business, your imperial momentum has scared the fish......"

As soon as these words came out, Li Longji became more and more excited, looking up to the sky and laughing.

Yang Guifei and Wan Chun both looked at Gu Qing in a daze.

It's been a long time since I've seen such a fresh and refined sycophant, and the talented man really has no bottom line when he pats the sycophant, but it hits the heart directly, amazing!

"Gu Qing is deeply heartfelt, not bad! The one I am plotting should be a territory of thousands of miles, the hearts of the people in the world, and a few fish. General Gao, put away the fishing rod in the fishing basket, and I will let go of this pool of creatures, haha! ”

Gu Qing, Yang Guifei, Wan Chun and the others all breathed a sigh of relief, and even Gao Lishi glanced at Gu Qing gratefully and appreciatively.

Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, Li Longji is unhappy, Gao Lishi is the most uncomfortable, he is the one who directly bears the anger of the Son of Heaven.

Gao Lishi ordered the palace people to put away the fishing tackle, and lost no time in saying: "Your Majesty fishing, Gu County Hou presents poems, this matter can be a good story for the ages, why doesn't Your Majesty let the Zhongshu people record it and pass it on to ......future generations."

Li Longji became very happy, and said happily: "Okay, you can remember it in books and pass it on to future generations." I and Gu Qing can also be regarded as leaving a good story of monarchs and ministers in the history books. ”

Gao Lishi happily passed on the scholar to go, Li Longji smiled at Yang Guifei, and said: "Although the spring is warmer, there is still a cold spring, the lady should be careful of her body, don't catch a cold." ”

Yang Guifei said gently: "Xie Sanlang cares, the concubine will take care of her body, and the concubine still wants to stay with Sanlang for a hundred years." ”

Li Longji looked at Gu Qing again and said with a smile: "Is Qing on duty in the palace today?" Why not wear armor? ”

Gu Qing suddenly knelt down towards Li Longji and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister has committed a great crime, and I hereby ask Your Majesty for the guilt." ”

Li Longji smiled and said in a deep voice: "What crime did Qing commit?" ”

Gu Qing said in a low voice: "The minister went to Shangzhou the day before yesterday, and he impulsively killed Shangzhou assassin Shi Xing Shen......"

Li Longji was shocked: "You killed the Shangzhou Assassin Shi?" ”

"Yes......"

Li Longji's face changed instantly, and he was furious: "Gu Qing, you are simply lawless!" Who gave you the audacity to dare to kill a courtier? What a bastard, you don't want to die! ”

When she was furious, Yang Guifei suddenly stepped forward, stroked his chest, and said softly: "Your Majesty is angry, although Gu Qing is young, he has always had a law and a way to do things, when did Your Majesty see him do lawless things?" Everything has a result and there must be a reason, why don't Your Majesty let him tell the truth first, if Your Majesty still thinks he is guilty, then deal with it. ”

Li Longji snorted angrily: "You say, what dare you kill the assassin?" I can't tell you why, I can't save your life! ”

So Gu Qing said the truth of the matter again in a low tone.

Speaking of Zheng Jian's suicide, the body carried out of the Assassin's Mansion, and when Zheng Xiang's mother and son were in great pain, Li Longji's angry face finally changed a little, and his expression became very complicated, like anger and emotion, and the anger in his eyes eased a little.

Speaking of Luonan County and Shangzhou Assassin Mansion colluding to intercept the pension of the greedy veterans, Li Longji's face became extremely angry again, and the murderous intent flashed in his eyes, Gu Qing knew that his anger was not directed at himself, presumably Li Longji also realized that the veteran's pension was the cornerstone of the Tang Dynasty's conquest of the world, and someone moved this cornerstone, which was tantamount to digging the corner of the Tang Dynasty.

Until the end, Gu Qing said that he attacked the Assassin Mansion in a fit of anger and killed the Assassin Xing Shen on the spot, Li Longji's face had become neither sad nor happy, and he couldn't see any emotion.

After finishing speaking, Gu Qing shut up.

The matter has been done, and it is up to Li Longji to judge whether it is black or white, if he can still refer to black as white, Gu Qing can't help it, so he honestly waits for the next fate.

"Your Majesty, the minister also has a number of account books of the Luonan County Order and a copy of the confession he personally admitted, which records in detail the name and amount of their greed for ink, as well as the number of contacts between officials at all levels in Shangzhou. Qian Xianling is now locked up in the Zuowei prison, and if His Majesty does not believe it, he can be arraigned at any time. ”

A eunuch in the back struggled to hold a pile of account books, Li Longji took one casually, opened it and read a few pages, his face became more and more ugly.

Then Li Longji closed the account book, stared at Gu Qing and said: "They are all guilty, but the state has national law, and their crimes should be determined by national law, Gu Qing, do you think that killing the assassin is to eliminate traitors for the country, but to make meritorious contributions, right?" ”
