Chapter Ninety-Five: Covetousness
The night was silent, and Gu Jing stayed awake all night.
And in another prosperous corner of Bianliang City, there was also a person who wandered and paced until dawn.
As soon as the sky was brightened, Shang Guyuan opened the door of the guest room of the Xianwang Mansion with sleepy eyes.
For the first time, the man who was as gentle as jade had a serious face:
"What's wrong, what's wrong? When your guards came looking for me, I thought you were going to get a. ”
Seeing that Lu Guitang was safe and sound, Shang Guyuan's heart was settled, and he couldn't help but think of the scene when Lu Guitang's secret guard went to look for him just now.
It's weird to be afraid.
Clinker Lu Guitang fixed his heels and turned around sharply, and the sight still made Shang Guyuan's heart tighten.
"Almost." Lu Guitang's voice was surprisingly hoarse.
It's almost a stinger.
His eyes were blue, his hair was unkempt, and he didn't seem to have slept for days and nights.
Shang Guyuan hurriedly closed the door and walked in, and asked quietly, "What's wrong?" Could it be that the Holy God has rebuked you? ”
He has had a friendship with Lu Guitang for many years, and he has always been familiar with Lu Guitang's habits. I cherish myself the most, I can't leave three meals a day, and I can't sleep for four hours a day.
What could make him haggard like this?
Lu Guitang sighed, turned around and sat down in the chair, and then sorted out his complicated thoughts.
"Ah Yuan, your father served in the household department before he became the governor of salt affairs, does your family have the handle of the Ximakang family?"
Shang Guyuan froze for a moment, and flipped through the memories of Ximakang's family in his mind.
With a wave of the folding fan in his hand, he threw out a chilling cold wind.
"Oh! You say Comberson? Shang Guyuan knocked his head and tried to think clearly about him: "Yes, he and his father are greedy enough, what, what do you want to do with him?" ”
Lu Guitang tapped his fingers on the table, and a glimmer of time was broken.
"Not only him, but also his father, Kangping."
Shang Guyuan stroked his chin with a fan, he didn't understand Lu Guitang, although the Kang family was a little greedy for officials, but now corrupt officials above the court abounded, and the powerful family has always been like this, and Dazhen has never stopped for more than 200 years.
Compared with these, the matter of Shuobei is more important, and the dragon body of the saint knows that it has taken most of his strength to deal with the Gui clan alone, and he has never heard of the saint's order to punish the corrupt officials in the court.
Shang Guyuan sat comfortably on another chair, serious: "But my father is not in the household department now, if you want evidence of their corruption, I can find it for you, but the investigation is ......."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Guitang reached out and took out a purse from his waist and threw it to Shang Guyuan far away, and the man said coldly: "You take my seal to the official department Shangshu and ask him to impeach the father and son of the Kang family!" ”
Shang Guyuan fumbled with the purse and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
The prince is not allowed to interfere in politics, although Lu Guitang has made some achievements in the background over the years, but he has never crossed the Lei Chi step on the surface, and it is the first time that he has been asked to take the Xianwang seal to run people like today.
"You're not afraid that the Holy One will be angry?" Shang Guyuan raised his eyelids and looked at Lu Guitang's face, couldn't help but shrink his neck, and simply changed the question: "What is it for, the Kang family owes you money?" ”
Lu Guitang sat at the table and was angry, and the words almost came out of his teeth: "They covet my daughter-in-law!" ”
……
Shang Guyuan clenched his fists, turned around and left.
He knew that the daughter-in-law that Lu Guitang said was definitely not the third lady of the Gu family, Gu Xiang, but the second miss of the Gu family, Gu Jin.
Shang Guyuan is a smart person, and he can understand the cause and effect with a word from Lu Guitang. Fire Book Bar
"Don't worry, I promise to do it for you!"
Even his brother's daughter-in-law dares to covet it, can this family eat the bear's heart and leopard's guts?
Shang Guyuan was very anxious in his heart, he could feel Lu Guitang's anger, if this matter was done slowly, Lu Guitang would pick his skin.
Who knew that the boots had just reached the threshold of the study, and the voice of Lu Guitang came from behind, which was also quite urgent:
"I sent an urgent report to Marshal Gu last night, but the city gate was closed at that time, so I used the flying pigeon to pass the book. You keep an eye on it for me, and when you get to the post station, you will change to a fast horse, and you must hand it over to Marshal Gu. ”
These words made Shang Guyuan's footsteps pause again.
He knows about Lu Guitang's secret dealings with Gu Jiangyuan over the years, but what is related to this is just ordinary military newspapers, Lu Guitang rarely wants to send urgent reports out of the city overnight, and tonight he did not hesitate to use the unsafe method of carrier pigeons?
There are many wars and civil strife, so if you need to send a message in case of emergency, you will use carrier pigeons. But the carrier pigeon may get lost on the road and be injured, or even hunted and eaten, Lu Guitang strives to be safe and never uses this method. Who knew that he made an exception last night and used a carrier pigeon to send a letter to Gu Jiangyuan.
What could make him so anxious that he couldn't even wait for an hour?
Shang Guyuan held his chin on the door frame and thought for a while, and had an answer in his heart.
He almost forgot that Gu Jiangyuan, the generalissimo Gu, was the father of the second miss of the Gu family.
Shang Guyuan patted the door frame, signaling that the meaning of the man's words was clear.
He paced out the door, and the warm voice echoed:
"Obey~"
In the rest of the study, Lu Guitang knocked on the table again.
A dark figure appeared outside the window, it was his secret guard.
The people of the Dazhen royal family all have secret guards, but as we all know, the secret guards of His Royal Highness King Xian are the first idle people in the country. Lu Guitang goes out without a secret guard, goes home without a secret guard, does not look for a secret guard when there is something, and does not look for a secret guard when there is a danger.
He felt that it was too much trouble to have a secret guard with him.
With that kind of effort, it is better to find Shang Guyuan to be more realistic.
After two days, the Dark Guard finally felt that he had something to use.
Lu Guitang's voice was gorgeous, and he was lazy again: "There is one more thing, I want you to help me do it." ”
……
Evening and evening.
Gu Mansion.
Guest room.
Lu Chengxiu has not been in a hurry to ask the He family to resign since he learned about Gu Jin, and he will not be in a hurry if he lives in the mansion as a prince.
Today, he ordered the little servant to go back to King Shu's mansion to get a new soup woman.
This time, he didn't go to the Evening Window Pavilion in person, but asked the little guy to send it over in his own name.
He had scruples, and heard that the person who was guarding Gu Jin's door now was the He family's mother's family, and such people did things without measure, and if he showed up, he would probably be accused of indecent crimes by them.
Lu Chengxiu's ears unconsciously remembered Gu Jin's words:
It is to fight against my housewife against all difficulties, and to fall into the tongue of interfering in the marriage of other people's houses. Or is it a-for-tat confrontation with Kangfu that pushes me to the forefront? Or go and ask the current saint to push the prince himself into the sea of fire?
Lu Chengxiu's brows furrowed slightly, and the autumn frost was about to fall outside.
Winter is coming.
