Yang Guozhong's attitude towards Gu Qing is friendly and cordial, aside from the fact that he does have some appreciation for Gu Qing, in fact, most of it is for Yang Guifei's face, and the identity of the concubine's fellow villager is more worthy of Yang Guozhong's attention than the third-grade official, because Yang Guozhong's career is based on Yang Guifei, the fellow of the concubine Niangniang, how dare Yang Guozhong not value it?

Valued is important, Gu Qing took the initiative to ask Ying to track down the murderer who plotted against Yang Guozhong, but Yang Guozhong was noncommittal.

The bigger the official, the more complicated the problem is, even if it is the emperor's brother-in-law, there are inevitably many political enemies in the court, Yang Guozhong never thought that kicking him into Qujiangchi was a temporary intention, there was no plan in advance, and there was no conspiracy behind it, just to see him unpleasant.

As the favorite seed player for the next prime minister, how could Yang Guozhong have thought that someone would be so bored?

So his first thought after being kicked into the water was that this was a political enemy, and the mastermind behind it must be someone who has been fighting with him for a long time, and he has even quickly locked up several political enemies.

Gu Qing, a small eight-grade record, joined the army to investigate the murderer, how to investigate? What can I find?

However, in front of Yang Guifei, Yang Guozhong still agreed very kindly.

The young man didn't know how thick the sky was, and if he wanted to investigate, he would check it, anyway, Yang Guozhong didn't report any hope.

Zhang Huaijin stood beside Gu Qing and was shaken by Gu Qing's manipulation.

She washed her hair after thinking about going home, and by the way, she washed her brain, Gu Qing opened the door to a new world of human nature for her, she had never seen someone shouting to catch a thief so justifiably, so hard, and finally even took the initiative to ask Ying to catch herself......

I feel that this second brother is crazy, and he will beat him when he is crazy.

At the end of the banquet of singing and dancing, Yang Guifei took the lead in leaving, and the ministers got up to send them off.

Yang Guozhong and Gu Qing made an appointment to reunite in private, and each said goodbye and left.

Gu Qing's official position was low, and he left until the last batch, and Zhang Huaijin accompanied him to the end.

It was already dark when he came out of Qujiang Pond, Gu Qing sent Zhang Huaijin home first, Zhang Huaijin looked left and right, and made sure that there was no one around, so he exclaimed: "Second brother is so amazing!" You kicked Yang Taifu into Qujiang Pond, and you actually had the courage to volunteer to help him track down the murderer...... Second brother, what do you think? ”

Gu Qing Zhengse said: "First of all, I have to hypnotize myself, close my eyes and silently recite ten times in my heart 'I didn't do it' and 'I didn't do it', when you open your eyes, your brain will tell you that it was indeed not you who did it, at this time I am innocent, since I am innocent, this matter has nothing to do with me, why can't I be justified and volunteer?" Helping Yang Taifu catch his murderer is exactly the obligation of our subordinates. ”

Zhang Huaijin's three views shook again, and Yun Gong worked hard to suppress it.

"That's ...... Okay? ”

"Okay, you saw it with your own eyes, did Yang Guozhong doubt me? Did I show any flaws? Wasn't it fun to talk to him just now? ”

Zhang Huaijin said speechlessly: "You...... It's so shameless, I've never seen someone as shameless as you, but it's so shameless that it's so righteous and awe-inspiring. ”

Gu Qing smiled: "Think I'm shameless?" You can go to the Yang Mansion and surrender yourself, this matter is your idea, you are the mastermind, I am just an accomplice. ”

Zhang Huaijin shook his head quickly: "I don't!" ”

"Therefore, don't be too hypocritical, there is evil in human nature, admit it happily, it is much better than those who talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, and who steal men and prostitutes behind their backs, I am a bad person, these four words are clearly written on the face, and the bad is frank and frank, such a person will live to the end, and the world may be able to respect him a little more."

Zhang Huaijin couldn't help but be a bar: "Since you admit that you are a bad person, why don't you take the initiative to tell Yang Taifu that you kicked him into the water?" ”

"Dear, it's not recommended here, bad people are just bad, not stupid."

"Didn't you just take the initiative to ask Ying to track down the murderer? People don't suspect you at all, why did you take the initiative to get into this trouble? ”

Gu Qing said softly: "Third brother, go home and sleep obediently, with your IQ, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain this matter to you." ”

Zhang Huaijin was very dissatisfied, especially hated Gu Qing's tone of treating her as an ignorant child.

So Zhang Huaijin suddenly hit Gu Qing's chest with his head, making Gu Qing's chest feel stuffy.

Gu Qing rubbed his chest and looked at her in shock: "Are you crazy?" Doesn't your head hurt? ”

"It hurts, but it's relieved!" Zhang Huaijin rubbed his head and stiffened his mouth in pain.

Unconsciously walked to the door of Zhang's mansion, Gu Qing motioned for her to go in.

Zhang Huaijin said goodbye to him, walked a few steps and ran back, and whispered with a cute face: "Don't tell anyone today's secret." ”

After speaking, Zhang Huaijin jumped and ran away again, and his excited body was like a sister-in-law who had just taken his brother-in-law.

…………

Gu Qing went back to his house alone, he didn't plan to call a carriage and horse, he wanted to take a walk alone, look at the night view of Chang'an City, and smooth out his thoughts by the way.

took the initiative to ask Ying to track down the murderer, not that Gu Qing was causing trouble.

Yang Guozhong didn't have hope at all, and Gu Qing knew better that this murderer would not be caught. But this matter is the link between Gu Qing and Yang Guozhong. With this link, Gu Qing was able to continue with the next step.

According to Gu Qing's vague memory of history, if nothing else, Prime Minister Li Linfu's time is running out, either this year or next year, Li Linfu will kick his legs, and the successor is none other than Yang Guozhong, the future Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty Gu Qing naturally wants to have a good relationship with him, and the relationship is not good to the bosom friend of the mountains and rivers, at least they should use each other in a friendly way.

From the perspective of time, Yang Guozhong can still be prosperous for at least four or five years, and he can use Yang Guozhong to do a lot of things in four or five years, and some layouts can be slowly rolled out in Chang'an City.

You can't show the true face of a rebel and a thief, but you can secretly do something that a rebel and a thief will do.

Back in his house, the two wings in the middle courtyard are still lit, the house is not small, but there is no housekeeper and servant, and the front yard is still in the stage of repair and decoration, so he is not in a hurry to invite people.

Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing didn't sleep, Gu Qing stepped forward to knock the door and call them out.

The two shopkeepers were still respectful and polite to Gu Qing, but the hostility between the two did not seem to have been eliminated, and they looked at each other coldly, and snorted very unkindly.

Gu Qing was too lazy to care about the between them, his attitude towards the two shopkeepers was like raising a Tibetan mastiff, throwing them into the same pit to fight, survival of the fittest, even if the two sides copied knives and cut each other, it didn't matter, the one who was alive was the chosen son of nature, and he could use it with confidence.

"Get a pen and paper, go quickly." After Gu Qing hurriedly gave an order, he went straight into the backyard.

The two shopkeepers took paper and pencils, Hao Donglai helped Gu Qing sharpen the ink with a very good eye, and Shi Daxing lit a candlestick for Gu Qing and put it in the corner of the table.

Gu Qing was about to write, glanced at the candlestick, and looked at Shi Daxing with a sigh: "Light the candle in the southwest corner, do you want to turn it upside down?" Order a few more, it's too dark. ”

Shi Daxing was busy.

After lighting three candlesticks on the bookcase, the light finally brightened a lot, Gu Qing brushed and brushed, and the dragon flew and the phoenix danced in a mess.

Although Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing are businessmen, they are also literate, and when Gu Qing finished writing, the two of them stepped forward to look at it, and it took a long time to barely recognize what Gu Qing wrote.

"Shaolangjun's words are really ...... Very chic, the words are like their people, wild and uninhibited, with the style of ancient sages. Hao Donglai cheekily praised.

Shi Daxing's sense of morality and shame was obviously two grades higher than Hao Donglai's, and he couldn't say anything that was too unconscionable, so he could only smile and agree.

Hao Donglai finished praising the words, then carefully read the content, and slowly read word by word: "Surprised! When Yang Taifu, a relative of the dynasty, was plotted by thieves by the Qujiang Pond, Yang Taifu fell into the water and survived, but he showed a broad mind and said that he did not need to be investigated. ”

"This newspaper reported that on the fourth day of the eighth month of the tenth year of Tianbao, Yang Guifei Niangniang feasted courtiers in the Ziyun Building of Qujiang Pond......"

Hao Donglai slowly finished reading the whole article, and then raised his head and looked at Gu Qing in confusion: "Shaolangjun, this is ......?"

"Start a newspaper." Gu Qingyan said succinctly.

The two shopkeepers froze and didn't say anything for a while.

"What do you mean by a 'newspaper'?" Gu Qing urged.

Hao Donglai arched his hand: "Shaolangjun, we know what a newspaper is. As early as the Han Dynasty, it was called 'palace gate copy', that is, officials from all over the country sent people to stay in the capital, copied the edicts and policies of the imperial court, and sent them to the place quickly, and the speed of the palace gate copy to convey the news was much faster than the normal court issuance speed, so that it could leave enough time for local officials to prepare, until the current dynasty, the palace gate copy still exists, but in another way, it is called 'court newspaper' or 'article newspaper'. ”

Gu Qing said calmly: "What you are talking about is the official decrees and holy decrees of the imperial court, and what I want to do is anecdotes and rumors, such as what I just wrote, Yang Taifu was plotted to fall into the water, the concubine Niangniang feasted the ministers, etc., it belongs to the category of anecdotes, ordinary scholars laugh, and talk about things after tea and dinner, and do not involve affairs such as court politics and affairs......

Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing looked at each other, and the two looked hesitant.

"This ...... Will it work? Is Shaolangjun planning to talk about court officials and folk celebrities? ”

"Of course, if you want to write about the well-known characters in Chang'an City and familiar to ordinary civilians, you will be widely welcomed if you write about them."

Hao Donglai hesitated: "It's okay to write about folk celebrities, if you write about court officials, whether it is ridicule or nonsense or based on facts, I'm afraid you will offend people, right?" If you offend too many officials because of this, then the Manchu Dynasty will make enemies, how will Shaolangjun deal with himself in the future? ”

Gu Qing smiled and pointed to the paper full of words in front of him, and said, "Do you know why I wrote Yang Taifu in the first article?" ”

They shook their heads.

Gu Qing said slowly: "Mrs. Yang, the brother of the current concubine, is about to become the founding partner of our newspaper, in a few days, Mrs. Yang will take the initiative to find me and take the initiative to ask to join in, believe it or not?" ”
