Chapter Twenty-Three: Autumn Wind Hall
After Gu Yuntian rested for a while, he walked out of the room with his hands behind his back. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info first walked around the guest room where he lived, keeping the surrounding environment in mind. This is a habit that Gu Yuntian has cultivated for many years as a head catcher, and he knows very well in his heart that this good habit can save his life at a critical time.
Then, he paced slowly to the backyard of the guest inn.
Compared to the noisy front hall, the backyard is noticeably quieter, and it must be much more comfortable to live here.
There are not many rooms in the backyard of the Guest Inn, but the price is expensive, and not everyone can afford it.
In front of the gate of the backyard, there were two men dressed in black, and when they saw Gu Yuntian walking towards the backyard, they immediately became vigilant.
Gu Yuntian's eyes were very sharp, and he found that the cuffs of the two black-clothed men were decorated with a circle of purple threads, and he wouldn't pay attention to them at all if he didn't look carefully.
The cuffs are embellished with purple threads, which are the hallmarks of the interior of Akifudo.
Qiufeng Hall is one of the most mysterious organizations in Chang'an City, and many people don't even know about his existence.
Gu Yuntian, as the chief arrester of the Criminal Department, has a wide range of information, so naturally he has channels to inquire about the situation in Qiufeng Hall.
In Gu Yuntian's information, it is detailed
Qiufengtang generally only operates near Chang'an, and rarely goes to places that are a little farther away, let alone to Chenzhou, which is thousands of miles away.
When someone from Qiufeng Hall appeared in Chenzhou, there was only one possibility: Princess Taiping also intervened in this matter.
Others don't know, but Gu Yuntian knows in his heart that the actual controller behind Qiufeng Hall is the Taiping Princess of the current dynasty.
In recent years, Princess An Le and Princess Taiping have always been competing in secret, fighting to the death for the title of "the first princess of the Tang Dynasty".
One of them is the daughter of Zhongzong, and the other is Zhongzong's own sister, the palms and backs of their hands are full of meat, although Zhongzong knows some insiders, but he is not good at favoring anyone, so he has to turn a blind eye, as long as he is not too out of line, he is also happy to be with the mud.
Princess Anle has the support of Queen Wei, not only is her power in the court far better than that of Princess Taiping, but Queen Wei also controls the Yulin Army and Wancai.
It stands to reason that Princess Taiping is not Princess Anle's opponent at all. But Princess Taiping is not a vegetarian, she found another way to establish Qiufeng Hall, and recruited a large number of masters and rangers.
Although Princess An Le is strong, some things that cannot be put on the table are difficult for the courtiers and the army to solve. Princess Taiping is different, with Qiufengtang secretly helping her settle these things, she is much more comfortable than Princess Anle. Under the rise of one and the other, the two can be regarded as equal.
"What kind of person, this place has been covered, and idlers are not allowed to enter!" One of the men in black shouted at Gu Yuntian.
Gu Yuntian went straight to the point: "I know that you are from Qiufeng Hall, go and call the person in charge of you, I have something to say!" ”
"Who are you?" Gu Yuntian revealed the identity of the man in black, which surprised them.
"It doesn't matter who I am, hurry up and call the person in charge to come out." Gu Yuntian said coldly: "My patience is limited! ”
"Hurry up and get your name on, otherwise you won't blame us for being polite!" Gu Yuntian's ignorance of the two of them angered the two men in black, and they pressed towards Gu Yuntian.
Just as the two sides were tense, the door of the backyard opened, and a middle-aged man in a green robe slowly walked out.
This man is about thirty years old, elegant, quiet, full of bookish air, especially his eyes, like a deep pool, and he can't see the bottom at all.
Gu Yuntian's pupils contracted, staring at the middle-aged man and not speaking.
"You dare to stop the head arrester of the Criminal Department, you are really blind!" The middle-aged man shook his head at the two men in black.
When the two men heard this, they immediately panicked and said, "Please sir, please condemn the crime!" ”
"Twenty palms each!" The middle-aged figure seems to be talking to himself.
The two men did not hesitate at all, raised their hands and slapped themselves.
crackling, and after a while, the two of them finished fanning, and they didn't dare to move when they stood still. They were so themselves that blood oozed from the corner of one of their mouths.
"I didn't expect to see Mr. Wei here, it's really rare!" Gu Yuntian finally spoke.
The middle-aged man's name is Wei Xianyun, and he is the first think tank of Princess Taiping. It is said that Princess Taiping obeyed him, and it was not an exaggeration to say that Wei Xianyun could be half of Princess Taiping's house.
From the performance of the two men in black just now, it can be seen that Wei Xianyun is not only resourceful, but also skillful.
"What Mr. Gu said is exactly what Wei thinks in his heart!" Wei Xianyun smiled slightly and said, "Enjoy your face, please inside!" ”
Gu Yuntian nodded and followed Wei Xianyun into the backyard.
Although it is the same inn, the room where Wei Xianyun lives, whether it is decoration or utensils, is much more magnificent than Gu Yuntian's customers.
When Wei Xianyun was making tea, Gu Yuntian sat aside and looked at him silently.
Wei Xianyun is a good-looking beautiful man, which is very famous in the entire Chang'an City. Wei Xianyun's good-looking is not only because of his appearance, but also because of his cleanliness. Clean things always seem to have a power that can split the eyes of others, and it seems that no matter how complicated things come to him, they will suddenly become clear. And when it comes to what he decides, that cleanliness will make his decision appear clearer and stronger.
Wei Xianyun brought the brewed tea to Gu Yuntian, the aroma was fragrant, and Gu Yuntian suddenly felt refreshed.
Wei Xianyun sighed and said: "In this poor and remote place, the grievances are always arrested, so let's make do with this tea!" When I return to Chang'an, I will ask the head catcher to drink good tea! ”
Wei Xianyun This is not a show, but Gu Yuntian is not a taste when he hears it, he doesn't want to go around in circles with Wei Xianyun, so he simply asks directly: "I don't know why Mr. Wei also came to Chenzhou?" ”
Wei Xianyun said lightly: "I said I came to play, do you believe Mr. Gu's head catch?" ”
"Don't believe it!" Gu Yuntian said without hesitation.
Shenlong coup, Zhongzong was reinstated, and on meritorious deeds, Princess Taiping ranked first. In addition to adding the word "Zhenguo" in front of the princess for his only sister, Zhongzong also granted her the right to open the government, allowing her to choose her own official office and openly participate in politics. Wei Xianyun, as the number one thinker of Princess Taiping, needs to do too much, and he doesn't believe that he will kill Gu Yuntian, Wei Xianyun will have the leisure and elegance to come to Chenzhou to play.
"That's the end of it!" Wei Xianyun said with a calm expression: "You don't believe what I said, why bother asking again?" ”
Gu Yuntian was not good at giving up, and then asked, "Dare to ask Mr. Wei if he came here for the abolition of the crown prince?" ”
"Forgive Wei for having no comment!" Wei Xianyun was noncommittal.
Gu Yuntian said: "Ming people don't say dark words, Mr. Wei, why did you come from?" Gu's heart is like a mirror, but Gu said ugly things in front. Gu came to investigate the case this time, hoping that Mr. Wei would not interfere with Gu's actions, so as not to make extraneous branches look bad on everyone's face! ”
Wei Xianyun smiled slightly: "Always catch the head, you investigate your case, I appreciate my scenery, our well water does not interfere with river water, how can it be extraordinary?" ”
"That's the best! That Gu has taken his leave! ”
With that, Gu Yuntian arched his hand to Wei Xianyun and got up to leave.
Seeing Gu Yuntian leave, Wei Xianyun carefully pondered every word Gu Yuntian had just said, and he faintly felt a little uneasy.
