Chapter 61: Confession
Seeing Cheng Qi's somewhat suspicious appearance, Old Lady Fu stroked his beard and explained: "I took the initiative to talk to the teacher about this matter today, but I don't know what you're worried about, apprentice?" ”
"The apprentice is not only a little worried, but also a little ununderstandable, Ah Yan is far away in the capital, how can he know a person who is far away in Chuzhou? Moreover, if it weren't for the changes in Li Zhonghe's family, I'm afraid he wouldn't have come to the capital, I'm afraid that if this matter is known by Li Zhonghe, and now he is by Jinshang's side, will it be unfavorable to Ah Yan? After Cheng Qi finished speaking, his face turned red again, and every time he mentioned Gu Muyan, he couldn't help blushing.
Hearing this, where could Old Lady Fu not understand, when even frowned slightly and said, "What did Li Zhonghe ask you about?" Or is it today? ”
"According to the apprentice's guess, maybe he knocked on the side and said something, so he suspected that it had something to do with the person who saved him at the beginning, but the apprentice didn't know why he saved him in the first place, but fortunately, Gonggong Li interrupted the conversation between me and him at that time, and it was over, but he was going to enter the palace after all, and it was inevitable that he would meet him again next time." Cheng Qi told Mrs. Fu in detail about last night's situation.
Old Lady Fu didn't answer immediately, but got up and walked outside the pavilion, and after giving an order to the people not far away, he returned to Cheng Qi's side and said: "The bell must be tied to the bell, and I'm afraid I have to ask my granddaughter about this matter!" ”
"Yes, master." Cheng Qi nodded and replied.
After a while, Gu Muyan came to the outside of the courtyard where Cheng Qi and Old Lady Fu were talking.
At this time, the sun was just right, there were a lot of trees in the yard, and the sunlight was scattered on Gu Muyan's body through the leaves, adding a bit of style to her, coupled with the breeze, occasionally a few strands of hair were gently carried by the wind, which was particularly vivid.
This kind of scene made Cheng Qi unable to take his eyes off, and it was not until Gu Muyan walked up to him and saluted Old Lady Fu that Cheng Qi suddenly came to his senses and pulled himself back from Fang Cai's thoughts.
Then Old Lady Fu asked Cheng Qi to tell Gu Muyan everything about last night, as well as his own worries.
The one in front of him is Cheng Qi who died with him in his previous life, and the other is for his grandfather who knew that Xiao Yi was a jackal, tiger and leopard, and he did not care about his life, and finally ended up with his reputation ruined, and even beheaded his family, so Gu Muyan naturally had nothing to hesitate about, and directly said what he knew with a little embellishment.
"Actually, I know the people behind Li Zhong and the destruction of his family, so I begged my grandfather to find him back, don't fall for the tricks of the traitor, and do things for the traitor." Gu Muyan didn't hide it, and directly explained that he knew the ins and outs of that matter, but he didn't say who it was.
Sure enough, my grandfather immediately asked, "Then the person behind this is the powerful people in the capital?" ”
"It's not so much the powerful, it's better to say that it's the emperor's relatives and relatives, because the person who bought the murderer behind the murder and killed Mr. Li all over the house is the fourth prince today." Gu Muyan looked around, and after making sure that there was no one, he whispered Xiao Yi's name.
"What?"
As soon as Gu Muyan said this, Old Lady Fu and Cheng Qi were almost surprised in unison, looking at Gu Muyan incredulously.
The two knew that Gu Muyan wouldn't lie, but how did Gu Muyan know about such a secret thing?
The only possibility is that Xiao Yi and Gu Hao colluded, and when they were talking in the mansion, Gu Muyan might accidentally hear it.
Where did you hear the words? Could it be the Prime Minister's Mansion? Old Lady Fu asked worriedly, if it was really Prime Minister Gu Hao and Xiao Yi who had already colluded, then he would have an incident in the east window, and it would be okay for Xiao Yi to sit on the throne, if this Xiao Yi was defeated, then Gu Muyan could not guarantee that he would not be implicated.
If you want Gu Muyan not to be implicated, then you must find a wishful husband for her as soon as possible, so that even if something happens to the Gu family, Gu Muyan will not be implicated, and when the time comes, she will not be wronged no matter what.
"That's not it, Yan'er once went out of the house by chance, where did Quanjude hear it, and that Quanjude is also the fourth prince's." Gu Muyan said nonsense, but the fact that Quan Jude is Xiao Yi is true is true.
This time it was Cheng Qi's turn to worry, because this Quanjude is a soldier of some grades in the army who is worried that he will die on the battlefield one day, and his relatives have no source of income, so he put together some silver and two open, but he didn't expect it to be so good, and because it was opened by people in the army, there will naturally be many soldiers who return to Beijing to support the field, and over time, business will naturally improve.
"Ah Yan, are you sure that Quanjude belongs to the four princes?" Cheng Qi still couldn't believe it, after all, among the soldiers who had pooled the money to open this Quanjude, there were many cronies of their own.
"Hmm." Gu Muyan nodded solemnly, looked at Cheng Qi's eyes and said: "I heard with my own ears that the shopkeeper of the restaurant said that he had sent someone to send the silver to the fourth prince's mansion that month, and later the fourth prince instructed that in the future, the silver would be taken by him personally, and he could not let others know that this Quanjude was actually his." ”
"Then it seems that the fine work in the army is the person of the four princes, but I didn't expect him to dare to stretch out his hand to the army, if your majesty knows, I'm afraid that these four princes may not be able to live in peace." Cheng Qi said with a frown.
Hearing this, Gu Muyan looked at Cheng Qi in surprise as if he had been hit by a thunderbolt on a sunny day, he couldn't figure out why Xiao Yi was able to accurately know every move of Cheng Qi, it seemed that it had something to do with this Quanjude.
In the past, I only knew that this Quanjude was Xiao Yi's, but I didn't know that this Quanjude was actually the family of the soldiers in the army in the eyes of outsiders. Thinking of this, even Gu Muyan couldn't help but shudder.
"The people in the army, you have to check it carefully, and see if you can follow the line of Quanjude." Old lady Fu stroked her beard and said to Cheng Qi.
For his master, Cheng Qi naturally trusted, and even agreed: "Yes, master, after the apprentice goes back, he will order someone to investigate." ”
"I wonder if there are any cronies in Brother Cheng's army who are related to the restaurant?" Gu Muyan asked.
"I'm ashamed to say that I didn't have many henchmen, but now I know that two of them are related to this Quanjude Restaurant." As he spoke, Cheng Qi shook his head and smiled a little self-deprecatingly.
How do you know that Gu Muyan smiled and said: "If this matter is not before the eyebrows, Brother Cheng should not dispose of all the people related to Quanjude Restaurant, after all, when the water is clear, there are no fish, it is difficult to guarantee that one day these people will not be used by us, as long as we know who they are, we can take precautions in advance, and we will not fall into the trap of the enemy, right?" ”
"What you say is reasonable, don't act rashly, and don't show your feet, so that you can defeat the enemy! When we hold the evidence in our hands, it is time to eradicate the other party in one fell swoop. Old Lady Fu looked at Gu Muyan and nodded with satisfaction.
"Also, if Li Zhonghe asks about it again in the future, he will tell me, and I will explain it to him when the time comes, as for whether he listens or not, it is not something we can control." Gu Muyan mentioned Li Zhonghe's matter again.
After a few people discussed what had happened recently, Old Lady Fu ordered Cheng Qi to send Gu Muyan back, but in fact, even if Old Lady Fu didn't say it, Cheng Qi would send Gu Muyan back.
Looking at Gu Muyan walking beside him, Cheng Qi never knew that a woman could have such insight as a talent, which not only made Cheng Qi more admirable, but also made him more and more curious about Gu Muyan and wanted to know more about her.
"Brother Cheng, I'm here." Gu Muyan stood at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, waved his hand in front of Cheng Qi's eyes and said.
"Oh, then Ah Yan go in quickly, I'll go back too." Cheng Qi reacted and nodded and said, watching Gu Muyan enter the Prime Minister's Mansion, until he couldn't see his figure, he turned around and left.
It's just that when he returned to the general's mansion, he passed by the people's grain village, and he also saw Sheng Zhoujin, who was originally following Gu Muyan, and felt a little strange, so he followed Sheng Zhoujin.
"Who?" Cheng Qi's kung fu is excellent, but because he is Sheng Zhoujin, he did not deliberately hide his whereabouts, and naturally he noticed the abnormality, and after leading him to a secluded place, he immediately asked Cheng Qidao.
"Uncle Sheng, it's me." Cheng Qi then appeared and said.
Seeing that the person who came was Cheng Qi, Sheng Zhoujin naturally let down his guard, stepped forward and asked, "Why is General Cheng here?" ”
"Naturally, I came with Uncle Sheng, but I remember that the master didn't send you to protect Ah Yan? Why not in the Prime Minister's Mansion? Cheng Qi asked with some confusion and some worry, for fear that Sheng Zhoujin would be hurt if she was not by Gu Muyan's side.
"Miss sent her subordinates out, only when Miss has something to find her subordinates, she will go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but now the people's grain village is famous, so this Prime Minister's Mansion is not good to go back for a while, for fear that someone will know that Miss will find out the relationship with the people's grain village because I was touched by the vine." Sheng Zhoujin explained.
"I know, I still have something to do, so I won't talk to Uncle Sheng today, and we'll meet again another day!" As if he had thought of something, Cheng Qi hurriedly said a few words to Sheng Zhoujin and then left, leaving Sheng Zhoujin standing in place with a stunned face.
On the other side, as soon as Gu Muyan returned to the house, he was invited to Liunian Zhai, saying that the old lady had something to find.
As soon as he heard that his grandmother had something to look for him, Gu Muyan didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly trotted in the direction of Liunian Zhai.
