The night was getting deeper, and the two officials were so drunk by Zhao Gu that they couldn't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Although the guests at the other tables had the intention to listen, they couldn't stand the grinding of the beauty next to them, so they took the beauty to open the room early.

Soon, there were only three Zhao Gu left in the hall, and the sister next to the three was also taken away by Zhao Gu with an excuse.

It was only at this time that Zhao Gu revealed his true face.

First wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and then Zhao Gu looked at the two officials with a sneer.

"Lord He, do you remember the way home?" Zhao Gu asked.

One of the officials shrunk under the table and said vaguely, "Home? What kind of home, the tigress in my house is simply not a person, I don't look for a bucket to pee at night, I pee on Lao Tzu as much as I, and the bed at home is stinky all day long, and I don't want to go back. ”

Obviously, this guy is already drunk, otherwise he wouldn't have told the ugly thing about his wife's love of bedwetting.

Zhao Gu turned to another official and asked, "Lord Feng, is your youngest daughter beautiful?" ”

Lord Feng raised his head and glanced around, hooked Zhao Gu's neck, and whispered, "Brother, let me tell you, my daughter...... She, she's not fucking my own, no matter how I look at it lately, I think she looks a lot like our groom, do you think I'm green by my wife. ”

Obviously, this guy is also drunk.

Zhao Gu rolled his eyes and said secretly: "Your circle is really messy. ”

Then, Zhao Gu conducted research with the two officials on the official circle of the Great Song Dynasty and the forces behind it.

Of course, Zhao Gu was only responsible for asking questions, not for analyzing and researching, and the two officials were only responsible for answering questions, not for thinking.

They had completely drunk the pieces, and they couldn't remember what place this was or who Zhao Gu was.

Maybe tomorrow morning, when they have a splitting headache, they will think about why they are drunk and who they are drinking with, but I guess they can't remember.

It wasn't until the two officials were completely squeezed out that Zhao Gu walked out of the hall with a cold face and left the manor without alarming anyone.

Back on the street, Zhao Gu walked in the silent night, feeling that it was extremely cold tonight, and stretched out his hand to feel it, it turned out that Kaifeng was windy tonight!

Walking all the way to the west, Zhao Gu stopped not far from the imperial city, and looked up to see that a memorial arch with the words 'quality and frugality' was standing proudly.

This is the archway of the great Song Dynasty minister Lu Mengzheng's house, many years ago by the current His Majesty personally written, representing endless grace.

Lu Mengzheng is his person, the champion of the Taiping Rejuvenation Period, he has been in the court for nearly 20 years, and his reputation is excellent, whether he is a magistrate or the main court, he has almost never made a mistake, and has won the trust of the emperor and courtiers.

In addition, Lu Mengzheng is also a great literary scholar, who knows all the subsets of classics and history, and is excellent in writing poems and lyrics, and is the unparalleled leader of the literary world in the Great Song Dynasty.

It can be said that if it weren't for Zhao Pu, who was wearing the yellow robe of Emperor Taizu back then, who was still alive, Lu Mengzheng would definitely become the first assistant of the Great Song Dynasty, above 10,000 people under one person.

However, looking at the mansion of such a person who should have been admired by tens of thousands of people, Zhao Gu's face was cold.

Because Zhao Gu was already very sure that the high-ranking official who was secretly plotting against him was Lu Mengzheng, the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty.

Originally, through contact with Zhang Zongli, Zhao Gu faintly felt that Lu Mengzheng was quite suspicious, because as the leader of the main peace faction, Lu Mengzheng has always been strongly opposed to the war, if the appearance of Zhao Gu's family is the most unwilling to see, then Lu Mengzheng must be the first choice.

Secondly, when Li Hao ordered the burning of the reeds, Cao Wei objected, but he still went his own way, which shows that the people behind Li Hao are not afraid of the power of the Cao family.

To put it bluntly, the person behind Li Hao should be even better than Cao Bin, the Duke of Lu, at least the two are comparable.

And Cao Bin, as the founding general, has few enemies for his military achievements, and he is a big man who has assisted the Taizu Mutiny and His Majesty's southern and northern wars.

Except for Prime Minister Zhao Pu, who no longer manages the government very well, Lu Mengzheng's suspicion is still the greatest.

These were all Zhao Gu's guesses before, and after he talked to the two senior officials of the Ministry of Industry, his suspicions about Lu Mengzheng had been fully confirmed.

According to two officials of the Ministry of Industry, Lu Mengzheng's protégés are all over the world, and Li Hao, the former governor of Kaifeng Mansion, is one of them.

According to the grapevine, Li Hao was able to become the governor of Kaifeng Mansion at a young age, and he also had an inexplicable relationship with Lu Mengzheng.

In this way, the person behind Li Hao pointed directly at Lu Mengzheng.

In addition, the two officials of the Ministry of Industry also said that Lu Mengzheng also had another cronie who had served as the head of the Privy Council, and was in charge of exterminating the bandits and quelling the peasant uprising, which was also very consistent with the sudden order of the Privy Council to let Zhao Gu lead the troops to exterminate the bandits in Tiger Mountain.

In addition to this, there is a more important point.

When the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice tried Li Hao's crimes, they had already been convicted, and it was said that Li Hao could not escape death, but in the end the emperor forgave him and only issued a derogatory order, according to the two officials of the Ministry of Works, this decision was made after the early dynasty, after Lü Mengzheng met with the emperor alone.

To sum up, the identity of Li Hao's backer is about to come out, because Lu Meng is protecting Li Hao, so Li Hao does not dare to betray him until he dies, Li Hao is afraid that Lu Meng is taking revenge on him and murdering his wife and children.

Standing outside the gate of the Lu Mansion, Zhao Gu's mood gradually stabilized, and he walked briskly, without looking at it again.

There is not much time left for him, he naturally will not waste his time on meaningless things, if he wants to avoid unwarranted disasters in the future, Lu Mengzheng must die, and it is obviously impossible to kill him by standing outside his mansion gate and cursing him.

Zhao Gu knew that if Lu Mengzheng did not die, he would definitely use the military order of Tiger Mountain to suppress bandits until he finally killed Zhao Gu.

Even if he was lucky enough to escape this catastrophe, in the face of the grudge of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Gu did not have much confidence and could always dodge.

Zhao Gu didn't have much time, and Cao Wei would return to the city tomorrow afternoon at the latest, otherwise once the imperial court learned that the new army was stopping outside Kaifeng, it would inevitably suspect Cao Wei of ulterior motives, and Zhao Gu didn't want to involve Cao Wei and the new army.

Once the new army returns to the city, then Lü Mengzheng will know that the Tiger Mountain bandit suppression has not succeeded, and Zhao Gu's situation will be very difficult at that time.

Therefore, Zhao Gu must kill Lu Mengzheng, the mastermind behind the scenes, before the recruits return to the city, and at the same time, he must quickly drive out of the city and join the recruits, otherwise even if Lu Mengzheng is dead and Zhao Gu is not in the barracks, everyone will inevitably suspect him.
