Chapter 118: Risking Yourself
"Well, I haven't seen either of them in years. It's time to gather tonight. "For this kind of familiar junior, Qin Yan still likes it quite a lot.
After returning to Xie's house, Xie Yaoguang first ordered someone to take Qin Yan to the guest house to rest. He went to the study to deal with the affairs in hand, until Gu Qingzhi and Yun Fan came together when the lamp was in hand, and Xie Yaoguang came out of the study.
The night moon was bright and clean, pouring on the eaves of the living room of the Xie Mansion. From time to time, there is a cool breeze falling in the hall with the lotus incense, and the frogs can be heard from a distance along with the lotus waves.
"Mr. Qin." Yun Fan smiled at Qin Yan.
"Yes, yes, compared to Xiao Xie, it is still the two of you who are worry-free." Suddenly smiling, Qin Yan glanced at Xie Yaoguang lightly, and then teased: "Xiao Xie, she has always been restless. ”
Hearing this, Gu Qingzhi raised her sleeves to cover her lips and chuckled slowly, "If she is a peaceful person, she will be scared." It only reminds people of the story in the book that says that after a good person was taken away, his personality changed greatly. ”
"It's scary that she's not taken away now." Yun Fan, who took over the conversation, had a smile in his tone that couldn't be hidden.
At the center of the discussion, Xie Yaoguang looked calm, bowing his head and drinking tea.
Gu Qingzhi took the opportunity to pick up the tea, half-covered her face and looked at Xie Yaoguang with a smile: "Uncle Qin, I bet with you, I haven't spoken at the moment, but I can't keep it, who is she thinking about in her heart." ”
"I don't know how Pei Huai investigated the matter." Xie Yaoguang sneered on his lips and said thoughtfully.
"Look, I'm not wrong. My aunt is handing Pei Huai a knife again. After saying this, Gu Qingzhi shook her head and sighed, "Alas, I still sympathize with Pei Huai, he has done a lot of offending things in the past six months." ”
Qin Yan raised his eyes, and the appreciation in his words was unconcealed, "Jingzhao Yin Peihuai? I heard of him when I was under the grass, and he was a good seedling. If you want to succeed, you always have to offend people, and besides, he can be regarded as doing things for the emperor again. ”
If Pei Huai heard Qin Yan praise him here, he was afraid that he would cry with joy. After all, Qin Yan is the head of the world, and there are very few people who can praise him.
"Definitely. But this time it's not as simple as moving the six parts, and it can be eradicated by the hands of today. Xie Yao narrowed his eyes, put down the teacup in his hand and lifted his lips and said, "I have to plan carefully." ”
The six parts are so simple that the emperor can only be carried out by changing blood. As the predecessors said, you can't take down what the emperor wants to use, and you can't keep what the emperor doesn't use.
"Troublesome? You tell me to be a teacher. ”
Several people are close friends with her, not to mention Qin Yan, who has an extraordinary relationship with her. Naturally, she wouldn't hide from the two of them and tell them one by one what her subordinates had found out these days.
As soon as he returned from Xishi that day, he immediately sent people to visit Xishi secretly.
In the case of finding melons and spreading false news, his subordinates really found a trade route in the West Market that was specially used to sell mandalas privately, and there were many people who made a lot of money through this road.
I wanted to see if I could sneak into this line to find out who was the boss, but those Hu people were not only shrewd but also very suspicious, and immediately terminated the transaction as soon as they found out that something was wrong.
In order not to startle the snake, Xie Yaoguang ordered someone to withdraw. But this time it wasn't for nothing, those people kept mentioning a man named Shuangmu Zhushu. It's just that Xie Yaoguang's people searched all over the capital and didn't find anyone named Shuangmu Zhushu.
After the matter was finished, Qin Yan looked at her and smiled: "You, this is a person who is outside the bureau and has no idea when he escapes into the fog for a while, Shuangmu is the forest, as for the bamboo bundle, I guess it is a strategy." It seems that the person who chose the name put a lot of thought into it......"
Hearing Qin Yan say this, Xie Yaoguang suddenly understood. The word Lin Ce appeared in his ears, and he and Gu Qingzhi glanced at each other. Seeing a trace of consternation on the other party's face, she knew that the two of them thought of going together. The surname Lin in Beijing is only the princess's mother's family...... Thinking about it like this, it seems that the Lin family dares to act so boldly, and the reason why they can't keep it is because the prince is instructed behind his back.
"Thank you for the reminder, I know what to do." Xie Yaoguang smiled gently.
She is already smart, and Qin Yan's slightest touch is naturally instantaneous.
"There's one more thing I want to do with you...... Consult. Raising his hand and ordering the maid to serve licorice ice and snow soup, Xie Yaoguang held a silver spoon and fiddled with the fine ice cubes in the bowl, and the two collided and clanged, "Don't hide it from you, I suspect that the things of the year have something to do with Qi Wuyin, and I have worked hard to investigate over the years to find out about it, and the head of Wu Gou is also surnamed Qi." ”
Although it was so sudden that people didn't have time to make any plans, she remembered it very clearly, at that time, she didn't see a trace of surprise and panic on her grandfather's face, and her grandfather seemed to know that such a thing would happen early on, and he didn't even want to struggle anymore.
And the clan that was good friends with the Gu family did not have any abnormal situation because of this incident afterwards, and only the Qin Wangfu and the Gu family were implicated in this matter.
As for why she was able to escape from the prison and be picked up by the Gu family's secret guards, it is even more unknown. She didn't know what kind of deal her grandfather had made with Emperor Li, so that the emperor could keep the last trace of the Gu family's bloodline. She still remembered the maggots-like killers on the way to escape, the Gu family's guards who died to protect her, and the bright red maple leaves in the dark night.
"Wu Hook Tai?" Qin Yan, who had caught the point, frowned and said, "If Qi Wuyin is really involved in this matter, it is indeed worth pondering." ”
Qi Wu is not familiar with him because of this, Qin Yan is not familiar with him, but he still has a little impression, I remember that he has a good relationship with the emperor and was born in the Qi family, and he still single-handedly helped the declining Qi family up, served as the privy council envoy and became the emperor's most trusted family.
As for him, Qin Yan remembered that Old Lady Gu had only used one sentence to evaluate this person, who was young and old, and his methods were vicious and could not be deeply acquainted.
As for Wu Goutai, Qin Yan remembered that he had seen this name in the Gu family's classics. There is only a few words of Wu Gootai's record, which is a royal blade hidden in the shadows, for the king to monitor the court and balance all parties, not to be underestimated.
"Exactly. Things happened suddenly, and it happened that you, Marquis Li and King Ding were not in Beijing at the time, so I gave Jinshang a chance to do it. Moreover, I have secretly sent people to investigate the few things you have participated in over the years, and there seems to be Qi Wuyin's figure hidden in them, so that I have to think deeply about whether this matter was intentional or not. Xie Yaoguang lowered her head slightly, and as she moved, the Dongzhu tassel earrings on her ears crossed her chin through the gap between her black hair.
When he said this, Xie Yaoguang's expression was extremely calm, and his tone was quite indifferent. But Qin Yan still sensed a hint of coldness in her jet-black bead pupils.
After staring at her for a long time, Qin Yan finally asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Putting yourself at risk."
