Chapter 16: The Lord's Mansion (1)

Day 2. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Today's weather is finally clear, and we say goodbye to wet and rainy days.

Taking advantage of this rare sunny day, the people took out their bedding one after another and hung it on bamboo poles to dry.

Zhao Gu also took out the quilt in his house to dry, and then he went out and came to a bustling street in Dongcheng.

Walking all the way, Zhao Gu came to the gate of a very large mansion, looked up, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"The county lord's mansion? Is she the county lord? Zhao Gu muttered in a low voice.

Shaking his head, Zhao Gu stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The concierge of the County Lord's Mansion was very polite, and he didn't slack off because Zhao Gu was dressed simply, and asked with a smile: "Who are you looking for, guest?" ”

"Su Xiaocheng." Zhao Gu said.

"You are Mr. Zhao Gu Zhao?" The porter's eyes lit up and he asked again.

"It's me."

The porter hugged his fists: "Sir, please come with me, Miss Su has already ordered, you can go directly into the backyard after you come." ”

For some reason, hearing the porter call Su Xiao a girl, Zhao Gu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

That's right, the place he came to was exactly what Su Xiaocheng sent to her address.

That day, when Zhao Gu was thinking hard about how to completely bring down Li Hao, Su Xiaocheng sent someone to find him.

The thunderous news was what Su Xiaocheng told him, and when Zhao Gu heard the news, he immediately realized that his opportunity had come.

Lei Xiang, as the personal soldier of the king of Yunnan, stood behind him was Chai Jun, the king of Yunnan, and the relationship between the court and the vassal king was the most delicate.

Li Hao dared to detain Lei Xiang privately, which Zhao Gu did not expect, so he immediately spread the news.

Facts have proved that his move was right, and as soon as the court officials heard the news of the thunder, they finally began to really watch Li Hao's every move.

Coupled with the previous rumors about Zhao Gu's family, Li Hao was completely pushed to the forefront of the rumors.

Su Xiaocheng helped more than that.

Lei Xiang was locked up in the cell that day, and no one actually stabbed him, but in order to heat up the rumors, Zhao Gu asked the person sent by Su Xiaocheng to send a message to Lei Xiang and let him stab himself in the arm, which caused a scene of anger in His Majesty Taizong and the officials in the Zichen Hall that day.

It can be said that in the whole process of overthrowing Li Hao, although Zhao Gu was planning in the middle, Su Xiaocheng's help to him was the most important.

At that time, Zhao Gu knew very well that the news of his family's killing was not enough to shake the imperial court's attention to Li Hao, and only by adding the banner of the king of Yunnan could the nerves of the emperor and officials be really stimulated.

In other words, although Lei Xiang's assassination was only a trivial matter, it was because of the king of Yunnan that the imperial court had to examine Li Hao.

In fact, Li Hao's murder of Zhao Gu is the real fatality, as long as the imperial court has to lift this big lid because of a thorough investigation of Li Hao, Li Hao's murder of Zhao Gu can be exposed.

By this time, the officials and the people knew about it, and the imperial court had to deal with Li Hao.

Although at this time, some people may have realized that Lei Xiang's stabbing was just a gimmick, but Zhao Gu's murder was real, and the court officials had to pinch their noses to eat this dumb loss.

To put it more bluntly, Zhao Gu mobilized the people to spread Li Hao's rumors, just like a quack doctor telling the court that Li Hao was sick, and he had the best medicine here to treat him.

The role played by Lei Xiang at this time was like a world-famous miracle doctor, the imperial court had heard of his name, believed his words, and thought that Li Hao was really sick.

So the imperial court began to pay attention to Li Hao's condition and found quacks to treat him with medicine.

At this time, Li Hao's murder of Zhao Gu was like a highly poisonous medicine prescribed by a quack doctor, and the court officials did not know about it and fed it to Li Hao.

So Li Hao became more and more sick, and the extremely poisonous medicine entered Li Hao's mouth, and immediately poisoned him to death.

All this is simple, but in fact it is very complicated, no matter which link is a wrong step, or a slow beat, it is impossible to have today's effect.

And the information provided by Su Xiaocheng is the most important part of this plan.

So Zhao Gu came here today to thank Su Xiaocheng.

This gentle woman is very special in Zhao Gu's heart, she was held hostage by Zhao Gu that day, suffered a lot, and was knocked by Zhao Gu with an iron lock, although it was not heavy, but after all, it was still very painful, but she didn't care, but tried to send him after Zhao Gu left the city.

Zhao Gu and she both knew that she sent him because Zhao Gu was not out of danger yet, and having her with her would make the government continue to be jealous.

Until the end, Li Hao's men set fire to the reeds, and both of them knew that Su Xiaocheng would only be affected if he followed him again, so Zhao Gu resolutely fled alone.

As for why Su Xiaocheng would do this, Zhao Gu never asked, he vaguely felt that maybe it was related to her admiring him, and as for the lack of other feelings in the appreciation, neither of them wanted to mention it.

After passing through several yards and garden lakes, the backyard is finally here.

Su Xiaocheng was already waiting here, dressed in white, facing the sky, with tenderness in his eyes, standing quietly.

The two looked at each other and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

Looking at each other and smiling, the two replied at the same time, "I'm fine." ”

"Come with me to my little building." Su Xiaocheng chuckled.

"Hmm."

Zhao Gu followed Su Xiaocheng and looked at her swaying back, his heart was inexplicably quiet.

It wasn't until she arrived at the place that she stopped that Zhao Gu withdrew her gaze.

"Enough of it?" Su Xiaocheng asked without looking back.

"Nope." Zhao Gu blushed and replied.

"Didn't see it or didn't see enough?" Su Xiaocheng asked again.

"None of them."

"Isn't that a contradiction? If you haven't seen it, how can you see enough or not see enough? ”

"Just because I haven't seen it, I can never see enough."

"Flim Flam." Su Xiaocheng snorted and pushed open the door of the small building.

Zhao Gu followed in, took a look, and found that Su Xiaocheng's decoration here was very simple, except for the tables, chairs and benches used daily, there were only poems, calligraphy and paintings on the wall.

"What do you think?" Seeing Zhao Gu retract his gaze, Su Xiaocheng asked.

"Indifferent and ambitious, quiet and far-reaching, the style of an ancient gentleman." Zhao Gu replied.

"You know." Su Xiaocheng chuckled, as if he remembered something, and said, "I forgot to tell you, thank you for rescuing Lei Xiang, otherwise I don't know how many times I have to run to the Kaifeng Mansion prison." ”

"He's the one you went to see every night?" Zhao Gu asked.

Su Xiaocheng nodded, as if he was afraid that he would misunderstand, and explained: "Don't think about it, the county lord is the younger sister of the king of Yunnan, and he naturally cares about his subordinates. ”

Zhao Gu smiled: "Why explain so much, am I such a cautious person?" ”

Su Xiaocheng stuck out his tongue, extremely cute, and said, "Then who knows." By the way, the county lord said that she wants to thank you, and you and I will go to see him in a moment. You...... Behave well. ”

"Behave well? …… I know. Zhao Gu said, suddenly blinking his eyes, and Su Xiaocheng instantly blushed.

She didn't expect that Zhao Gu, who had always given people a sense of maturity and stability, would do this kind of action.
