Seeing everyone's eyes gathered towards him, Daoist Wu sat firmly at the head of the bed, and suddenly grinned, his black ten fingers were inserted into his greasy hair, scratched back and forth twice, and said suddenly:

"Don't hide it from the Governor, Poor Dao has never touched his teeth until this moment, and he was tossed by your fake death medicine until he vomited blood, and he spoke a lot again, he was already exhausted, and his chest was attached to his back, can you eat first?"

"Yes."

Leng Qingtang rolled his eyes without a trace, and instructed Fan Wei:

"Go get some food and drinks."

"Hey, wait!"

Daoist Wu waved his hand and called Fan Wei:

"Just the wine, the poor road was almost killed by the poisonous wine, and I don't dare to be greedy anymore, Mo Ruo ......"

The tail note was elongated, and he flashed his cunning fox eyes to Gu Yunxi.

She stood beside the Overseer, and when she saw this, her body immediately tightened and became vigilant.

"What do you want? Don't play tricks! ”

Gu Yunxi's eyes widened, and he whispered to the sloppy person on the bed.

Wu Daoist smiled "hehe", cheekily, raised his two fingers, and made a gesture of "very small":

"Poor Dao is such a small request, just work a little Aunt Dusk, and cook a few delicious side dishes for Poor Dao yourself......"

"Presumptuous—"

Without waiting for Gu Yunxi to speak, Leng Qingtang had already blackened Wu Yujun's face, and his eyes were full of vigour.

Let his beloved girl go to eat and drink for a prisoner, how does he see the past?

Behind him, the two guards sensed that a cold murderous aura was bursting out of the Overseer's body, and immediately twisted his eyebrows and exploded his arms, striding towards the head of the bed, his eyes scarlet.

Daoist Wu knew that he was in trouble without concealment, and with a "hiccup" in his throat, he threw his head into the quilt with his hands in his hands, and said in a trembling voice:

"When Poor Dao was on duty in the palace, he heard that Aunt Dusk had the best cooking skills, and now Poor Dao dictates this important information, so it's not too much to ask for a meal, right? Being able to taste his aunt's craftsmanship, even if he dies one day, he will feel that he has no regrets. ”

"It's vexatious!"

Leng Qingtang narrowed his phoenix eyes, his face was heavy and angry, and he waved his sleeves vigorously.

Gu Yunxi raised his hand to stop:

"Governor, why bother to meet him in the same way, isn't it just a meal, and it doesn't take too much time...... Hey, Wu Yong, you are a good talker, and when you are full of food and drink, you have to explain the following. ”

Gu Yunxi was unusually calm at this time, and his emotions were far less righteous and indignant than others. A meal could be exchanged for a confession that the Overseer wanted, so she was willing to give it a try.

Zuo was just teased by this bull-nosed Taoist priest, and the overseer would not spare him at that time.

Wu Yong withdrew his head from the quilt, stroked his messy and sticky hair with his dirty hands, and kept nodding at Gu Yunxi, with a flattering look on his eyebrows.

"Okay, Wu Yong, you wait!"

Gu Yunxi spoke and strode out of the wing.

Half an hour later, she turned back from the kitchen, behind her was Qing'er and Yibanwei, who were holding trays, and when they entered the house, they filled the table with fragrant and hot meals, and even Shi Lei, who recorded the confession, had to move the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone to the west corner of the case, making room for the stinky Wu Daoist.

Leng Qingtang's quiet gaze swept over the cups and saucers on the table, and he didn't say a word.

As soon as Qing'er and Fan Wei withdrew, Daoist Wu immediately came to his senses, turned over and jumped out of bed, didn't care about stepping on a shoe, stepped on the sock cover and ran to the front of the wooden table, swallowing saliva at a table of food, his eyes shining.

The yellow fried chicken, the green longevity vegetable roasted shiitake mushrooms, the red and white are spicy edamame tofu, and the white pink wings are full of umami.

In addition, there is a belly, water belly meat, a three-blessing meat dragon stuffed with catfish minced pork, eggplant paste and egg white, and a sea of sour shrimp soup.

Daoist Wu was dizzying, sat on the chair and shook his cheeks, raised his molars and ate a lot, with a colorful expression on his face, eating while eating, extremely focused and serious.

Finally full of wine and food, Wu Daoist patted his round belly with his oily hand, and was a little out of breath.

"Hey, it's fun, it's fun......"

He smacked his lips and sighed meaningfully:

"To say that Poor Dao has led the disciples of Yuxuguan to walk the north and south of the river over the years, and has also tasted a lot of delicacies, the rumors learned today are true, and Aunt Duan's craftsmanship is really better than the famous Minghe Tower and Youbin Pavilion!"

"Don't be flamboyant, continue to talk about what you know when you're full!"

Seeing the old man with the bull nose picking up the shiny thumb in front of his eyes, Gu Yunxi's cheeks were hot, a little embarrassed, and he suppressed his face and gave an order.

Daoist Wu held a handful of clean handkerchiefs in his hand, put on an arbitrary expression, turned to Leng Qingtang with a cunning eye, and asked again:

"The next thing is very important, if the poor road is said, the overseer must keep his promise, and never hand over the poor road to the saint again, let alone take the life of the poor road!"

Leng Qingtang's exquisite lip arc was slightly hooked, and his delicate eyes looked at the mess on the table, and turned to look at Wu Yong, with a faint lightness and rootlessness, making people unable to distinguish emotions:

"Don't worry, this governor is full of promises, why is it difficult to leave you in Dongchang to recuperate?"

Daoist Wu's hesitant and chaotic heart finally had a reassurance, and after a full hiccup, he greedily took the sea lamp, and reluctantly swallowed a mouthful of sour soup, which was really unstuffed.

Wiping his mouth, Daoist Wu spoke:

"Half of the remaining nearly 5 million taels are used to mine gold in the border areas of Xiyi, and half is ...... Gathered in southern Xinjiang and Guangxi! ”

At this point, Daoist Wu paused again, his eyes fluttering slightly.

Leng Qingtang found a key problem and chased after it:

"Where?"

“……”

Daoist Wu's eyes deliberately dodged without attention, instinctively avoiding docking with Leng Qingtang's sharp eyes.

"Speak quickly!"

Gu Yunxi impatiently stepped up his two-finger Zen exercises, and made two gestures in front of the Taoist priest.

"I said, I said, Wanli has a private army in southern Xinjiang, and nearly three million taels are used to pay military salaries and purchase artillery weapons for the people."

The room was full of shock, and the air was like condensed ice freezing people's whole bodies, making people feel heavy and suffocated to the point that it was difficult to breathe, and at the same time, the whole body was also bitterly cold.

Nearly three million taels, what an astonishing number of secret troops that can be constructed!

Thinking that the god king Wanzong has military power, and his son Wanli is hiding private artillery in southern Xinjiang, if he rebels, he is bound to be invincible.

Gu Yunxi eagerly asked, "Where is that team gathered and how many people are there?" ”

Daoist Wu looked embarrassed and said timidly:

"Poor Dao is only responsible for the turnover of money, and he may not be an expert in leading soldiers in the business field, so he only knows the approximate, and only the Wan father and son know the details."

Xu is found that the atmosphere was quiet, and Daoist Wu's words lost his momentum in the end, his head drooped, and he said in a low voice:

"In the past three years, the dividends from the artillery transactions between Wanli and Moyi and Mala have also been deposited into their country's money by the Yi people, and there are many ...... of profit rolling now."

After a while, Leng Qingtang got up and said quietly:

"Alright, that's all for now. Wu Yong, your good days are still ahead, enjoy yourself. ”

Before the words fell, the door was pushed to the courtyard.

The sudden situation made Gu Yunxi uneasy, and hurriedly followed.

Walking quickly all the way to the south courtyard, she saw the overseer standing in the misty night, raising his eyes to look at the night dome with few stars, and the calm of his eyebrows and eyes became more and more desolate and lonely under the bleak moonlight.

"Overseer......"

Gu Yunxi called lightly, and slowly moved his footsteps to rub behind him.

"Those moths of the nation—"

Leng Qingtang's phoenix eyes suddenly provoked, and scorching flames suddenly burst into his dark eyes, and roared:

"Those people gathered foreign trade to control the people with harsh taxes, and accumulated money internally, causing the treasury to be empty. Last year, the Tianhe River was silted and a bridge across the river was built, and the two projects were stripped of 1 million taels of silver by the Ministry of Industry. Those wicked people also shoddy the earth and rocks, causing the bridge to collapse during the rainy season, killing and injuring countless people.

The imperial court is still overstretched by taxes every year, and the soldiers on the border are hungry in the winter, and they have to follow the nomads to learn to dig wild roots and fruits to satisfy their hunger, and then look at them...... How dare they—"

Seeing that the speed of his speech was getting worse, Leng Qingtang became more and more angry the more he spoke, and his right palm suddenly raised, aiming at the dead tree five meters away.

"Click" -

Under the rage, Leng Qingtang's palm was like a blade, and he actually split the thick trunk of the bowl, and lay on the ground with the bare crown, dusty everywhere.

Gu Yunxi stared at it without saying a word, and when she noticed the many clearly raised green veins on both sides of the forehead of the extremely angry Overseer, her heart suddenly ached.

This territory of Dayi is vast, and it looks beautiful and poisonous on the outside, but inside it is full of holes and rotten water, like a rotten apple that only shows its red color on the surface.

No matter who wants to make up for this corrupt situation, they are powerless.

But it was this handsome man who was worried about the world's lives, and his heartache made Gu Yunxi moved.

She didn't know what to say to get him out of the rage in her chest, so she quietly took her little hand to accompany him, watching him vent enough and return to his original slender demeanor.

Slowly, Leng Qingtang noticed the girl frowning and worried under the shadow of the lamp, and hurriedly approached her, held her shoulder with a big hand, and whispered softly:

"I'm sorry, Fang is my gaffe and scared you."

Gu Yunxi shook his head, leaned over and buried himself in the arms of the overseer, and said in a clear and tactful voice:

"Everything has its own certainty, and now that the human certificate is in the East Factory, it is just around the corner to bring down the Wan Clan, and the overseer doesn't have to worry too much."

Leng Qingtang sighed lightly, and his chin rested on the top of the girl's head:

"Dongchang's previous plan was indeed like this, I thought that as long as Wu Yong was taken, the many scattered evidence collected earlier would have a thread of thread. Concubine Yu's pregnancy was a powerful help from heaven, so that Daoist Wu finally turned against the water and used it in the East Factory.

It's just that I just heard what he said, and now I am rashly offering an opportunity to deal with Wanli, just afraid that the private soldiers in southern Xinjiang will wait for the opportunity to move. The top priority at the moment is to first find out where that group of forces are entrenched, and what is the size of their numbers and strength. ”

Gu Yunxi came out of the overseer's arms, frowned, and said to himself:

"The difficulty at the moment is that Dongchang has no arrest on the border of southern Xinjiang."

Leng Qingtang echoed:

"Guangxi is remote, and there are many Dong and Yaoman, so the strength of Dongchang is out of reach, and the nearest stronghold is also in the Yunnan border."

Gu Yunxi pondered for a while, his eyebrows were happy, and he clapped his hands and said:

"Yes, tomorrow I will go into the palace to see Sun Jieyu, she is the daughter of Sun Min, the governor of Liangguang, it is better for her to repair a book and send it to Lord Sun, and he will join forces with the Yunnan Dongchang Branch to secretly investigate Wanli's private soldiers."

Leng Qingtang thought about it, his eyes were bright, and he nodded with a smile:

"This is very good, the governor of Liangguang is involved in the affairs of Guangxi, and he knows the local customs best, and the brothers who are assisted by him will get twice the result with half the effort, but it is just ......."

The face of the Governor Qingming's face was dull and dull, Gu Yunxi was conscious, and he was busy explaining:

"Sun Jieyu can be trusted. When she entered the palace last year, she was suppressed by Wan Yuyao, and she almost didn't go in the palace. After that, I was ordered by Concubine Xu to lead her into the game, so that she could finally be favored.

She discussed with me privately and hated Wan Wan in her words, and this time I asked her, thinking that she would not refuse. ”

Leng Qingtang looked at it and agreed:

"Tomorrow, you can enter the palace for the time being, you don't need to hide it from Sun Xiaozhu, to tell the truth. Don't have much time, I will ask the national teacher to come forward again, and postpone the period of dedication on the pretext that the auspicious time has not arrived. ”

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

Feather eyelashes trembled, and Gu Yunxi suddenly changed his words:

"Overseer, you and the national teacher rescued me and Brother Lu from the Swift Tower that day, do you know where Brother Lu went later?"

Leng Qingtang was stunned when he was asked, his deep eyes flashed slightly, and he said:

"At that time, because he deliberately seized the map, I knocked him and his men unconscious in the woods, and I don't know where he went."

"Huh?"

Gu Yunxi was shocked, his small facial features were wrinkled and not very good-looking, his lips were upturned, and he chattered and complained:

"Y-how can you do this! Brother Lu is thinking about it, but whether I am Gu Yunxi or Tu Duxue, I have received his life-saving grace too many times, you shouldn't treat him like this! ”

Leng Qingtang was silent for a long time, his eyes were heavy and complex, tightly locking Gu Yunxi's unhappy and anxious face, and he was speechless for a moment, and his dark eyes were like a bottomless pool, which was enough to breathe people's hearts.

complained again, but couldn't hear the overseer's response, Gu Yunxi suddenly lost his confidence, lowered his chin of resentment, and stopped speaking.

In his ears, the man's deep voice came to him, with a hint of resentment:

"You always call him long and short Brother Lu, and the governor doesn't like to hear it!"
