Chapter 252: Mighty (7)

"So what the hell are we going to do? If we really wait until Xiangye finds out about us, we will be in a worrying situation. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info" the officer who spoke first asked again.

The others sighed in unison, but they couldn't make up their minds, and if they wanted to blame, they could only blame Zhao Gu for being too insidious, and it was not a big thing, but it was made like this by him.

Originally, the reason why these officials dared to seize Zhao Gu's property was nothing more than seeing that Zhao Gu was forced to retreat into the mountains by Zhao Guangyi, and felt that he could no longer gain power, so they wanted to fall into the well.

But who would have thought that after more than a year, Zhao Gu would return to Kaifeng again, and was appointed to become the marshal of the Western Expedition, which is going to be his own life, Zhao Gu has already gained power, and if he makes great contributions again, he will inevitably retaliate against them.

These officials dare to make a move on Zhao Gu, and their official positions are naturally not low, they are all official positions from the third grade to the second grade, and they naturally know how powerful they will be once Zhao Gu recovers Western Xia, since Zhao Gu came back, he sensed that something was wrong, and he had the heart to apologize to Zhao Gu as soon as possible, but he couldn't let go, but he didn't expect Zhao Gu to wait for the momentum, so he directly showed his fangs to them.

Is Lu Mengzheng easy to provoke? Not to mention that Lu Mengzheng took the blame for them at the beginning this time, and he may already be dissatisfied with a few people, once he really finds out that a few people are the masterminds behind the scenes, with his identity as the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, whether he wants to or not, can he still let go of these guys who are plotting to seize the property of other officials?

In other words, since Lu Mengzheng began to investigate these guys, their end has been doomed, if Lu Mengzheng doesn't care about the blame, they will be trained or demoted at most, and once Lu Mengzheng hates them because of this, a few people will be dismissed directly because of this.

It was precisely because they understood the Tao of this that these officials were so anxious, they didn't dare to imagine what would happen to them in the face of the double anger of Lu Mengzheng and Zhao Gu.

"Why don't we take the initiative to confess to Xiangye?" At this point, an official suggested.

The other two nodded in agreement, but the other three felt that Lu Mengzheng might not really be able to find out about them, and they did not agree with the confession.

Several people argued, and immediately decided to part ways, and the three guys who decided to confess entered Lu Mengzheng's mansion overnight, admitted their mistakes, and expressed their willingness to compensate Zhao Gu for all losses.

The other three chose to resist hard, they made up their minds, anyway, Zhao Gu's property did not suffer actual losses, even if Lu Mengzheng found out about them, he might not be able to convict them, they wanted to see if Zhao Gu, a person who was deeply suspicious of Zhao Guangyi, dared to retaliate against them so unscrupulously.

The first day of the first month of the fourth year of Chunhua arrived.

Early in the morning, Mankaifeng is full of people who worship the New Year everywhere, people have a smile on their faces, they go out to pay New Year's greetings, everywhere is jubilant, the red lanterns are hung out early, groups of children are like birds in groups shuttling on the street, making bursts of laughter like silver bells.

Officials naturally pay more attention to the New Year, which is an annual festival of contact between officials, especially some foreign officials, who take advantage of this rare festival to find a relationship in Kaifeng City.

As the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, Lu Mengzheng's mansion has become lively since early in the morning, countless officials of all sizes have rushed to come to pay New Year's greetings, but Lu Mengzheng will not receive everyone, most of the gifts sent by the concierge are only received by the concierge, even if some officials above the fourth grade send gifts, most of them are received by Lu Mengzheng's protégés, and the people who can really let him receive are only some people with excellent relationships in the same year and some world-famous Confucianism and so on.

As for the officials of the six ministries of the three provinces, the Privy Council, the three yaya, and other important departments, although they will also come to him to pay New Year's greetings, the real high-ranking officials just come over and leave again, or directly send their sons and nephews over.

In contrast, the Zhuozhou County Marquis Mansion, which is on the same Xungui street, seems to be a little crowded, except for Li Danran, Er Gouzi, Hao Bai and the stewards of major industries, only the Cheshire Lord's Mansion and a noble family came.

Zhao Gu didn't feel that there was anything wrong, the mountains were not high, there were immortals, and now the officials were still holding a wait-and-see attitude towards his future, and it was understandable that those who had stammered him always walked around the Hou Mansion.

Early in the morning, the Hou Mansion also ushered in a lively New Year, everyone who came to pay New Year's greetings was sent a red envelope by Zhao Gu, no way, although his official luck is not very good, his financial luck is prosperous, and it has only been two years since he traveled to the Great Song Dynasty.

Especially the two sisters of Rock Sugar Sydney, Zhao Yuandong, Zhao Yuanxi, Fan Zhongyan and Hao Ren, the son of Hao Blank, were each wrapped by Zhao Gu with a big red envelope, which made the villains giggle non-stop.

The two sisters of Rock Sugar Sydney have been approached by Zhao Gu to live in the Hou Mansion, and at this time Zhao Gu has returned, and those who are targeting his industry naturally dare not make any more moves, and they don't have to hide anymore.

A group of people who came to pay New Year's greetings were all left by Zhao Gu for lunch, and ten tables were set up, which was almost comparable to a banquet.

Someone has to clean up the dinner table, Uncle Li has re-selected a group of housekeepers and maids, these things don't have to worry about Zhao Gu, after he was full of wine and food, he called Li Danran and the three into the study.

As soon as he entered the study, Zhao Gu asked, "How is it, what did you go to find Lu Mengzheng yesterday?" ”

Li replied indifferently: "There are three officials who have gone to him, Zhang Qin, a member of the Ministry of Rites, Guan Mi, the head of the Ministry of Works, and Yang Da, a member of the Zhongshu House. ”

"It seems that these three men are the ones who plotted to rob my inheritance, and if I am not mistaken, they should be here this afternoon." Zhao Gu said with a smile.

"Then we have to get a good look at the three adults and see how bold they are." The second dog laughed.

Zhao Gu scolded with a smile: "You, you are a person who doesn't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, and the blank son is more than a year old, why don't you and Indifferent marry yet?" You two can't be playing back to the mountain, right? ”

"What do you mean by Back Mountain?" Ergouzi and Li said indifferently.

Zhao Gu explained in a low voice, and the two of them immediately jumped up furiously, looking at each other with jealousy in their eyes.
