Chapter 6: Flashy
The windswept procession passed, Li Sangrou sat back in the car, looked around, listened to the golden retriever and the dark horse for a sentence of you hurt me, I belittle your nonsense, passed the urn city gate, and then entered the city gate.
"Oh! This street is so wide! Look at this magnificence! It deserves to be an imperial city! Look at the magnificence! ”
Out of the city gate, the black horse stared at the wide street where dozens of carts could walk side by side, and shook a few whips excitedly.
"Look at your worthless appearance! What's so strange about that?
Boss, this city is so big, it's so lively! How is this road so wide! That's too wide! ”
The golden retriever habitually degraded the dark horse first, took a few steps, came to Li Sangrou's side, and looked around excitedly.
"Find a clean place to stay, it's getting dark." Li Sangrou put the melon seeds into the bag and commanded.
The golden retriever agreed, walked to the side of the black horse in a few steps, and together with the black horse, began to find fault with the inns.
"It's hilarious." Dachang also sat up and said in an urn voice.
"Well, the capital of Northern Qi is worthy of its name, if there is no accident, let's settle down here." Li Sangrou looked around, and her voice was pleasant.
The shops on both sides of this wide street are magnificent.
The dark horse and the golden retriever criticized each of the magnificent inns for being flashy, and found fault with seven or eight of them, and the two of them pulled the big green mule into a small street.
The shops on this small street seem to be very affordable, and they didn't go far before the two of them picked a clean store with neat guys.
The door of the shop is not large, but it is very spacious when you enter.
Business in the shop is very good, there are not many empty rooms left, there is only one empty yard, next to the stables.
The dark horse first disliked the smell of the stable, and then said that they would have to live for at least a month, and bargain with the shopkeeper.
The golden hair's legs and feet are extremely fast, and without waiting for the dark horse to negotiate a good price, he has already turned the whole mansion around.
Li Sangrou was still sitting in the car, silent, and slowly turned her head to look around.
The black horse negotiated a good price, and a few guys stepped forward to help settle the mule cart and people.
Li Sangrou watched Dachang lie down, and told the golden retriever to buy two hens, add red ginseng to stew a big pot of chicken soup, and then ask for six or seven dishes and a stack of cakes in the restaurant next to him.

Gu Xi came out of the Chenhui Gate, Wen Shunzhi had already taken the small guards and waited outside the Chenhui Gate, and when he saw Gu Xi coming out, he hurriedly greeted him.
Gu Xi got on the horse, was surrounded by everyone in the middle, and went straight to Prince Rui's mansion.
At the gate of Prince Rui's mansion, Gu Xi's two half-brothers, Gu Yun and Gu Yun, had been waiting in the mansion for a long time.
Seeing Gu Xi and the others coming, Gu Yun and Gu Yun stepped out of the threshold and hurried out.
"Big brother!"
The two saluted, followed Gu Xi, who didn't stop for a step, and talked while walking briskly inside.
"I heard that the eldest brother was in distress in Nanliang, and Daddy and Auntie were very worried."
Gu Yun walked and ran in order to keep up with Gu Xi, who was extremely fast.
"Oh." Hearing that Daddy and Auntie were very worried, Gu Xi sighed lightly and tastelessly, "Where's Father?" ”
"I received an envoy to check on Gyeonggi farming, and I went out early yesterday morning, saying that it would take seven or eight days to come back." Gu Jun's answer was very detailed.
"Well, what about your mother?" Gu Xi asked again.
His father, Prince Rui, Gu Yue, left the city early yesterday morning, and he knew about it yesterday.
"In my sister's yard, my sister caught a cold the night before." Gu Yun replied with a smile.
Gu Hui, who was a little out of breath even when he walked and ran, heard the words of your mother, his heart skipped, and he couldn't help but look at Gu Xi.
He had heard the word "you" on his mother's head for the first time.
"Well, I'm seriously injured, I'll go back and rest first, and then I'll go to the main courtyard to say goodbye."
When he arrived at the second gate, Gu Xi paused slightly, explained lightly, and went straight to the courtyard that led to his mansion, which occupied a small half of the mansion.
Gu Yun and Gu Yun stood still, watching Gu Xi and Wen Shunzhi and the others who were following him walk away, before they looked at each other and turned around to walk in another direction.
"Second brother, did you hear that just now? The eldest brother said, "Your mother! Gu Xuan suppressed his voice and said.
Gu Jun snorted, of course he heard it.
"For the first time! Is something wrong? Gu Xuan's tone was a little uneasy.
Six days ago, it was said that his eldest brother was dead......
"It's not the first time, it's the second time. The last time you were young, and I was only seven or eight years old, my eldest brother said to me: Your mother. ”
Gu Yun's words paused, and his voice was lowered.
"It seems that since then, the eldest brother has never eaten anything from our side, he doesn't eat a mouthful of anything, and he doesn't drink a mouthful of water."
"There are rumors outside that A-Niang wants her eldest brother to die......"
"It's all rumors!"
Gu Yun interrupted Gu Yun's words, and his voice went up slightly.
"A-Niang said, she belongs to her, we belong to us, no matter what happens to her and her eldest brother, we and my eldest brother are brothers."
Gu Yun glanced at Gu Yun and didn't answer.
……………………
Gu Xi went straight into the courtyard of the study.
Wen Chengying was at the foot of the steps, turned around and walked in with Gu Xi.
Gu Xi slowed down and entered the courtyard gate side by side with Wen Cheng.
"When the mission arrived in the capital in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, Pan Dingbang sent a small servant over, saying that he had to come to you first, and to meet with you to pay the decree, saying that he was the deputy envoy, and you were the main envoy, and he couldn't do without you. He also said that he had something to say to you. ”
Wen Cheng said as he walked, and Gu Xi snorted.
Wen Cheng then smiled and said, "I will say that you have already handed over the bullet to impeach him, according to what we agreed." ”
"Well, Miss Li has entered the city?"
"Yes, stay at the Wangyuan Waidi store next to Chenzhou Gate. A small shop for the temporary residence of the peddlers' pawns is a time-honored shop. Just after entering the store, the golden retriever went out for a trip, asked for a lot of food from the small restaurant next door, and bought two old hens. ”
Wen Cheng's answer was extremely detailed.
He was very curious about Miss Li and her three subordinates.
"Well, don't keep an eye on it, that girl is very smart."
"Yes."
……………………
After the early dynasty, in the side hall of Huajing Palace, the deputy envoy Pan Dingbang knelt in the middle.
Vice Minister Pan looked at his youngest son Pan Dingbang's grievances, depressed and angry.
This trip to Nanliang, one to congratulate the Nanliang Emperor on his 60th birthday, and the other is to be a brotherly state with Nanliang, never to use swords again, originally a trip to the flowers.
He begged the deputy envoy for this unpromising little son, originally thinking that such an envoy would be Gu Shizi again, which was a credit for getting it steadily, who knew that there was a major event that Gu Shizi almost lost his life in Nanliang.
Gu Shizi's assassination was deep and dark, and it was originally a matter of avoiding as far as he could, but at this moment, unless he ruthlessly folded this bastard stupid boy into it, he was afraid that he would not be able to avoid it.
"Tell me, Brother Xi didn't go back, why did you leave Jiangdu City and come back?" The emperor asked Pan Dingbang slowly.
"There was a little guy who took the seal letter of the prince of the world, saying that it was the words of the prince of the world, and asked me to set off with the mission, and he was waiting for me in Jiangning City, and I set off." Pan Dingbang replied straightly.
"Where's the little guy?" The emperor then asked.
"I ran away before I reached Jiangning City. Jump into the river and be out of sight in the blink of an eye. Pan Dingbang replied with a bitter face.
"What about the seal?" The emperor frowned.
"The little guy took it. When the little guy showed me the seal letter, I wanted to bring it over, but the little guy said that the rules of their son are heavy, and the seal letter of their son cannot be handed over to outsiders, and I thought about it, so I didn't force it, who knows......"
Pan Dingbang said, looking at Gu Xi, "Shizi, I really didn't harm you, how dare I!" ”
Gu Xi raised his eyes and looked up, ignoring him.
"What Deputy Envoy Pan said is too child's play." Gu Jin, who was sitting in a wheelchair, looked at the emperor and said.
The emperor hummed with a calm face.
Pan Dingbang's face turned white, "What I said is true, it's true!" How could I harm the world? I have harmed the son, what good shall I do? I ......"
"Shut up!" Vice Minister Pan couldn't help it, glared at Pan Dingbang, and reprimanded in a suppressed voice.
Pan Dingbang shrunk his neck and didn't dare to speak out.
"Your Majesty, the assassination of the prince in Jiangdu City is appalling, and the minister thinks that Nanliang is the most suspicious." Vice Minister Pan turned to the emperor and bowed his body.
"Hmm."
The emperor rubbed his temples and looked extremely irritable.
"This matter must be thoroughly investigated, but it only involves two countries, and it is not appropriate to make a public announcement.
Nanliang espionage over there, you are in charge, you must investigate it thoroughly, and you must remember that you should put national affairs first and not be capricious. ”
The emperor looked at Gu Xi and ordered.
Gu Xi owes himself what he should be.
"Here in Beidong County, what do you see?" The emperor looked at Gu Jin and asked.
"The robbery and killing in Chabeidong County is inseparable from the assassination of Jiangducheng, and this matter should not be publicized, the fewer people who know, the better, I think it is better to let Pan Xiangtong generalize." Gu Jin looked at the emperor and replied respectfully.
When Vice Minister Pan heard the words robbery and murder in Beidong County, his face turned blue.
There is still a robbery in Beidong County?
Robbery!
Hearing that he was in charge again, he was in a trance, and just about to find an excuse to push it out, the emperor had already nodded, "Well, Pan Xiang has always been safe, so let Pan Xiang be in charge." ”
Then he turned to Gu Xi and ordered: "You tell Pan Xiang what happened, and give the things you found to Pan Xiang." ”
"Yes." Gu Xi agreed, squinting his eyes at Pan Dingbang, "The minister was framed in Jiangdu City, and this matter must be inseparable from Deputy Envoy Pan, and the minister thinks that Deputy Envoy Pan should be imprisoned pending trial." ”
Pan Dingbang's face turned white, looking at his father, he almost screamed out in a hurry.
The emperor looked at Pan Dingbang, who was anxious and white-faced, was silent for a moment and nodded.
Pan Dingbang shrank to the ground, pouting, wanting to cry but not daring to cry.
It's not him!
How dare he harm this prince who no one dares to mess with in the capital! It's too late for him to stammer!
