Chapter 802: Rejection
Yang Guang suddenly turned his face, which made Pei Yun feel a little overwhelmed for a while, and he stood in front of Yang Guang with a layer of fine sweat on his forehead.
Yang Guang saw Pei Yun's face change like this, because he thought that although he came to invite merit, he did find the key evidence to expose the truth of the Tongguang Ni Temple incident, and locked the assassins on Zhang Zhongjian and Xiao Rushui, so he should not be too strict with him, so he slowed down his tone and instructed him: "Regarding the investigation of the two murders in Jiankang, this king has already appointed Yuwenshu to preside over it, so there is no need to work hard to rush it." I mean, Chong Zhi should not stay in Guangling for a long time, and he must return to Jiankang immediately, and you will work hard to organize the funeral of the two masters, and the more grand the better. In addition, this king is still in the past few days, I don't know how to rebuild the ancestral house for the Xie family? When the Xie family's ancestors are rebuilt, this king wants to go to the sages in person, you go back and tell Jianping, and ask him not to slack off on this matter. ”
Pei Yun raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and Nuo Nuo continued to speak, until he retreated to Yang Advertising and boarded the boat to return to Jiankang, and then he faintly understood Yang Guang's true intentions: Yang Guang was ordered to appease Jiangnan, and he would never turn Jiangnan into a battlefield for fighting with the former forces represented by the remnants of the "Wild Goose's Nest".
After understanding this meaning, Pei Yun felt a lot more at ease, he sat on the bow of the boat, recalled the before and after of his trip to Guangling, and felt that although Yang Guang did not reward him, he was obviously quite satisfied with the key evidence that he was able to quickly find out the poisonous pollen, which made Pei Yun secretly relieved: it seems that Jiangnantong, whom Yang Guang had high hopes for, will not be regarded as an incompetent person and be neglected in the short term.
Not to mention Pei Yun's return to Jiankang, how to do his best to handle the funeral ceremony of Master Jingxu, let's talk about Li Jing again.
Almost at the same time as the Tongguangni Temple incident occurred in Jiankang City, Li Jing, who had rescued the dust from Tiantai Mountain and returned to Huiji City, also encountered a thing that was not embarrassing or embarrassing: after he rescued the dust, Wei Huang, the guard of Huiji County, led the troops to pick up Gu Zi'er from Tiantai Mountain, but before dawn the next day, Lichen, who lived in the same room with Gu Zi'er, ran to report in a panic that her aunt was missing.
After Wei Huang and Li Jing learned of this news, they hurriedly sent officials and troops to search for Gu Zi'er's whereabouts inside and outside Huiji City, but they found that it was dark that day and there was no gain. And after experiencing the kidnapping by kidnappers (Dujing was robbed in the Gu family's ancestral house in Dongzhu City, Dujing was entrusted to hijack her and hide in a coastal fishing village), her brain was obviously stimulated, and she lost her aunt who depended on her for her life, and became demented, not eating or drinking, like a fool.
Li Jing was concerned about Gu Zi'er's identity because of Gu Zi'er's mysterious disappearance, and Lichen kept pestering him to find his aunt, so he had no choice but to ask Wei Huang to send cavalry troops to the Gu family's ancestral house in Dongjiao City to inquire about Gu Zi'er's whereabouts, identity, and origin, and ask the Gu family to send someone to help calm the dust.
At the same time, Wei Huang and Li Jing jointly wrote to Yang Guang, who had just returned to Guangling, asking for instructions on whether to send the dust to Jiankang to reunite with his mother. In order to avoid being blamed by Yang Guang, under Wei Huang's resolute stopping, Li Jing had to hide from Yang Guang that Gu Zi'er disappeared mysteriously the day after she was rescued, and she was insane.
Dongjiao City was not very far away from Huiji, and the cavalry sent by Wei Huang rushed back to Huiji early on the morning of the third day to report to Wei Huang and Li Jing.
It was Li Jing's envoy who came to Dongjiao City to pick up Chenbei and go north to reunite with his biological mother, so when he saw that there was only one sergeant sent to return to his life, he first asked: "Why, didn't the Gu family send someone with you?" ”
The sergeant took out a letter from his bosom, presented it to Li Jing, and replied: "The Gu clan does not admit that Chen is a member of the Gu clan, and its patriarch Tuo Xiao brought back a letter for the general to see." ”
Li Jing unfolded the letter in the hall to take a look, only to see the patriarch of the Gu clan clearly stated in the letter: The reason why the Gu family accepted the dust and lived in the ancestral house where the Gu family lived for many days was because it was brought back by Gu Zi'er, the daughter of the Gu family......
"When you went to Dongjiao City, did you inquire about Gu Zier's origin and identity?" Although Li Jing was disappointed by the Gu clan patriarch's reply, it was understandable to think about it, so he casually handed the letter to Wei Huang and asked the sergeant.
"The little inquiry understood. Gu Zi'er is the daughter of the Gu family, as early as before the fall of Nan Chen, she married Jiankang, married to Xiao Maha, the general of Nan Chen, as the successor room, and then for some reason, she was willing to give up the glory and wealth in Jiankang City, and returned to the ancestral house of the Gu family in Dongjiao City with the daughter of Gu Paner, who is said to be her own sister, and has lived in the ancestral house of the Gu family in Dongjiao City until now. ”
"I don't know why? Did Gu Zier return to her parents' house after being divorced by Xiao Maha? Wei Huang looked at the reply from the patriarch of the Gu clan on the side, looked up and asked.
"Like...... It doesn't seem to be ......" The sergeant hesitated for a moment, then replied with his fists clenched, "According to the rumors of the local people in Dongjiao City, it seems that Gu Zi'er has any unclear connection with Emperor Nanchen, and it is not because he was suspended and returned to live in Dongjiao City. ”
"Gu Zi'er is married, and it is not because she was divorced to return to the Gu family's ancestral house to live, which is a little strange." Wei Huang shook his head and said to Li Jing with a confused face.
"Gu Lu Zhu Qian is the four major surnames in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Southern Dynasty has always regarded itself as Chinese orthodoxy for hundreds of years, and the Gu family should be a family that attaches great importance to etiquette and righteousness and honor. There must be reasons in it that are not known to outsiders. Although Li Jing was young, he had a wide range of knowledge, and said to Wei Huang in a deep voice.
"Brother, according to me, since we have rescued the dust named by King Jin from the robbers, we don't need to pay too much attention to why Gu Zi'er went back to her parents' house to live. If in a few days, the prince sends the dust to Jiankang or Guangling, and you go back to report to the prince, you can put the responsibility of the dust madness on the gang of robbers, and you will get it. Wei Huang disdained to waste his efforts for a Gu Zi'er who was already irrelevant to him, and persuaded Li Jing with a big grin.
Li Jing thought that Gu Zi'er and Yang Guang were suspicious of the fact that the master (Gu Pan'er) was a fellow mother, and because of Gu Zi'er's disappearance, he kept calling his aunt in front of people, knowing that what Wei Huang said would not be enough to satisfy Yang Guang, but because he was in the realm of Wei Huang's control, there were still many things that needed his help to do, so he nodded, superficially obeying Wei Huang's meaning, but in his heart he was expecting Gu Zi'er to take the initiative to return to Chen's side.
