Chapter 55 Large Taxpayers

Meng Tianyin took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and said:

"A few years ago, Han Song visited Beijing and met Duan Yi'an, who was still a concubine of Chaifu at that time, and knew that she was also a Dali person, and even knew that she was also here for the resentment of the rhinoceros, so he was overjoyed and brought her back to Hangzhou ......"

"Wait, wait."

Gu Yi interrupted Meng Tianyin's words.

"Is the building chief saying that Duan Yi'an is a concubine of Chai Mansion? Which Chaifu? ”

Meng Tianyin lowered his voice: "It is the third son of Chai Zongxun, the emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty, Chai Yonghui." ”

Hearing this, Gu Yi was frightened, and hurriedly said: "Wasn't Emperor Zhou Gong sent to Fangzhou by Taizu?" Why is his son in Kaifeng? ”

"This matter is secret, and I don't know very well, I only know that the rhinoceros was in the hands of Chai Yonghui at the time, and after Chai Yonghui's death, Duan Yi'an got the rhinoceros, and Han Song met Duan Yi'an by coincidence and brought her to Hangzhou."

"It's-"

Gu Yi was at a loss for a while, Chai Yonghui was a descendant of the Later Zhou Dynasty, and it was not surprising that the rhinoceros fell into his hands.

It's just that after Emperor Taizu's "yellow robe" was added, Chai Zongxun was named King Zheng, and Empress Dowager Fu was the Empress Dowager Zhou, and their mother and son were sent to Fangzhou together with other relatives of the Chai family.

It stands to reason that the descendants of Chai Zongxun should also be in Fangzhou, how could they appear in Kyoto?

Gu Yi was puzzled, but he also knew that these were royal secrets, so he suppressed the doubts in his heart and said:

"In this way, Duan Yi'an went to Chai Yonghui's side with all his might, just to get the rhinoceros?"

"Well, maybe." Meng Tianyin looked at Gu Xianyan and hesitated for a moment, "Regarding Duan Yi'an, I also knew that she was actually Chai Yonghui's concubine on the day she assassinated Han Song. ”

"I have never cared about mundane things, and I have no interest in the rhinoceros, Han Song and I grew up, and his father has been loyal to my father for many years, so Han Song is determined to find the rhinoceros, and I don't want to obstruct it too much, and Han Song rarely talks to me about his plans."

After Meng Tianyin finished speaking, he was ashamed that he had not been able to provide more useful information.

Gu Tixing solemnly thanked him: "Thank you to Lou Chang Meng for telling the truth, Xiao Yi, you send Lou Chang Meng." ”

After sending Meng Tianyin away, Gu Yi returned to the living room: "Dad, how much is Meng Lou's words?" ”

"Oh?" Gu Tixing looked at Gu Yi scrutinically, and asked rhetorically, "Shen'er thinks that how credible is Chief Meng's words?" ”

"I don't seem to be lying when I see him, it's just about Duan Yi'an's part, and the child still has questions......"

"Xiao Yi doesn't need to say it, what Meng Tianyin said is what he knows." Gu Xianyan interrupted Gu Yi loudly and said, "By the way, Du Zhaoyan rescued Xiaochen, is Xiaochen safe now?" ”

The father kept silent and didn't mention Duan Yi'an, Gu Yi was puzzled, but he still followed Gu Xianyan's instructions and didn't ask again, and replied respectfully:

"Brother Du and Miss Xiaochen are now in Huxin Pavilion, and with Uncle Wu here, even if the people in the state capital find it, they can't do anything to them."

Gu Xianyan nodded with satisfaction: "This is very good, you should also be more careful, don't let that child be arrested by Wang Qinruo's people again." ”

Speaking of this, Gu Yi explained the matter of the matter in the Towering Cui Building one by one, and said:

"Lin Xiandao didn't take advantage of the towering cuilou, and he will definitely fan the flames in front of Wang Qinruo, and the children are worried that they will ...... the towering cuilou."

Gu Xianyan waved his hand: "Towering Cui Lou is an official restaurant, Wang Qinruo will not do anything about it." ”

Gu Yi suddenly understood, Towering Cuilou is a big taxpayer, and Wang Qinruo will only attack Towering Cuilou when he is full and has nothing to do.

The father and son were speechless for a while, and seeing that Gu Yi was still sitting and not leaving, Gu Xianyan looked sideways and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"This ......" Gu Yi hesitated for a moment and hesitated, "Dad, aren't you going back home today?" ”

The expression on Gu Xunyan's face froze for a moment, his right hand holding the teacup tightened slightly, and he glanced at Gu Yi expressionlessly: "You are concerned about your father's affairs." ”

"Dad, today is my mother's birthday, you-"

"Okay, needless to say, the Criminal Division is busy with affairs, and there are still official affairs to deal with for my father, so you can go back."

"Daddy, Daddy—"

Gu Xianyan's tall back quickly disappeared at the side door, and Gu Yi silently looked at the direction he was leaving, and ...... for a long time

Gu's Mansion is only one state street away from the Criminal Division, and when Gu Yi returned to the mansion, the eldest brother Gu Sizhi was beckoning his subordinates to decorate the courtyard.

Seeing Gu Yi coming back alone, the smile on Gu Sizhi's face paused, and he patted his younger brother's shoulder seriously: "My mother is in the Buddha Hall, I'll leave it to you." ”

Gu Yi nodded gently.

When they came to the backyard, when the villains saw Gu Yi, they all greeted each other, Gu Yi nodded in response, and quietly entered the Buddhist hall.

A woman in deep clothes knelt in front of the Buddha statue, and from where Gu Yi was, the tall and mighty Buddha statue reflected the woman's petite and thin body.

Gu Yi was sad for a while, and felt a little resentful of his father's snubbing of his mother.

Although my father and mother have been husband and wife for decades, over the years, the two seem to be strangers.

"Mother, the child is back."

The woman didn't open her eyes, only a faint "um".

Gu Yi came over and knelt in front of the Buddha with the woman, took out something from his arms, and said seriously: "Mother, the child went to Baoyue Temple yesterday and asked for a peace charm for my mother, so bring it with me." ”

"Shen'er has a heart." The woman replied lightly, "Let it go, don't talk too much in front of the Buddha." ”

"Yes."

Gu Yi closed his eyes tightly, folded his hands, and made a wish in front of the Buddha statue sincerely, and at the end, he stood up and bowed deeply to the woman: "That mother, the child retires." ”

The woman nodded imperceptibly.

Out of the Buddha Hall, Gu Yi sighed heavily, and Gu Sizhi walked over: "How is it?" ”

Gu Yi shook his head helplessly, and Gu Sizhi also sighed.

"What about the second brother and the younger sister?"

"One of the lines has already gone to the Six Arts Workshop Musical Instrument Shop, and the little sister's wild girl has not seen anyone since yesterday, and she doesn't know where to go crazy."

Gu Sizhi said that he was very tired, his father didn't return home, his mother didn't care about anything, his younger brothers and sisters only knew how to run out all day long, a huge home, and he took care of it all by himself.

Gu Yi smiled: "Big brother has worked hard. ”

"You kid, it's good to know that the eldest brother is hard." Gu Siyi punched Gu Yi on the shoulder and sighed, "You say, why did my father and mother make trouble this time?" Even on my mother's birthday, my father didn't come back. ”

In previous years, although the father and mother were cold, on each other's birthdays, they would still symbolically "have fun".

Gu Yi spread his hands: "Who knows?" ”

"Aren't you known as a Hangzhou reasoning prodigy, you can't even push out your own affairs, I think your name as a reasoning prodigy is also pure falsehood."

Gu Yi looked at his brother deeply, his eyes shining:

"I really have a guess."

"What speculation?"

"When I confirm this guess, I'll talk to my eldest brother."

Seeing that Gu Yi went around in a circle, Gu Sizhi smiled dotingly:

"Okay, wait until you're sure. You have to hurry up and be sure, otherwise if your father and mother continue to ignore each other like this, my brother and I won't be able to hold on. ”

Gu Yi felt that the burden on his shoulders was a bit heavy for a while.
