Hearing Cai Yiyong's promise, Zhou Nianzhen's originally tight heart was also relieved a lot, although his father did not like the Cai family, but after all, it was a foreign family close to his family since childhood, and this feeling naturally existed.

If it weren't for the helpless step, he would not have chosen to sacrifice the rights and interests of the Cai family, and now he has been forced to retreat.

"Auxiliary minister, I hope you can move."

When Zhou Nianzhen said this, he clearly felt Cai Yiyong's body pause slightly, and when he raised his eyes to look at himself, he was a little more solemn, and finally all this was flat: "What the prince thinks, it must be what we think, and the old minister is willing to quit the post of auxiliary minister." ”

Although Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty did not like the Cai family, he did give the position of auxiliary minister to the Cai family for the sake of Zhou Nianzhen's heart, but now this position is going to be given away by Zhou Nianzhen.

"Pillow knows that this matter is difficult for the grandfather, but today's grandfather's sacrifice pillow must be remembered in his heart and dare not forget."

"We are blood relatives, and sometimes we don't dare to say anything if we don't sacrifice this sacrifice, I just hope you can enter the atrium and rule Kyushu."

"Okay."

The conversation between the two ended with Cai Yiyong's departure, and after his eyebrows were half-constricted for a while, he ordered someone to summon Pei Guogong, and then began a long conversation that lasted for two hours, thinking that it was to prepare for the dragon to travel thousands of miles.

Here is intensively planning the affairs of the court, but Gu Jinshu returned to the mansion with a pale face, the apricot yellow dress stretched the figure very long, and the messy pace became more and more tight.

"What's wrong?"

Gu Mingsheng pulled his body and walked around under the sun, but found that she walked in with an abnormal expression, and his heart was slightly tight.

- How long has it been since he'd seen his daughter's panicked face? It's just a trip to the Ye family, why is it like this?

Seeing that she stood still but didn't speak, Gu Mingsheng's heart was even more pinched, ignoring the pain in his heart, he walked closer to her quickly: "But you have been wronged?" ”

The people of the Ye family treated her very well, and it stands to reason that nothing major should happen, but her miserable face can't be faked, even if he doesn't want to think about the Ye family too much, he can't help it.

"When my daughter came back, she accidentally ran into someone, and she ...... She is most likely the Red Lotus Demon Maiden. ”

Although it was only a quick glance, she was too familiar with that person to admit that she was wrong, she appeared in Jizhou at this time, and some things seemed to have been revealed.

Gu Mingsheng's expression was slightly relaxed, but then he was stunned: "You...... How do you know that person is the Red Lotus Demon Maiden? ”

Although that person's name is well-known in both the court and the rivers and lakes, the girl in her boudoir should not know her, but the scared appearance on her face now gives her a clear understanding.

- She doesn't look like she's lying.

"I once had the pleasure of meeting him when I was in the capital." Gu Jinshu casually found a reason to cover up the matter, he couldn't say that he knew that person in his last life!

"I'll settle this matter with your uncle, don't go out recently."

After Gu Mingsheng finished speaking, he asked people to send Gu Jinshu back, and Gu Jinshu didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he returned to his courtyard, and the fear on his face dissipated a lot. In the carriage, she unintentionally glanced at the red lotus, although she was surprised, she was not panicked, the reason why she behaved so badly was to attract her father's high attention.

And his father is obviously also vigilant.

Gu Mingsheng invited Ye Yuqin that night, and after hearing about the Red Lotus Banshee, Ye Yuqin was also shocked for a long time, and walked towards Pei Guogong's mansion after a few hasty words with him.

Pei Guocheng was writing in the study but heard someone replying, he couldn't help frowning, and put the pen in his hand aside: "Let someone invite Master Ye in." ”

Ye Yuqin served as the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and now the reconstruction of the court is also slightly marginal, what is the so-called matter of looking for himself in this gap now?

After entering the study, Ye Yuqin saluted Pei Guogong, and Pei Guogong didn't put on any official stands, and beckoned him to sit down with a smile: "Lord Ye is here for something important?" ”

These days, he has sent several groups of people who want to beg for officials, and the reason why he saw Ye Yuqin is because of his temperament, and because he likes his talent. Now that the emperor of Jizhou is back, it is the time to employ people, and the people in front of him are also an excellent choice.

At this time, he befriended him, and he also had an eye in the court in the future. In the past, the reason why he didn't go to win over in person was because he couldn't see the hearts of people in this troubled world, and he didn't know who he belonged to.

"Weichen heard that the Red Lotus Demon Maiden appeared in Jizhou."

This sentence can be described as earth-shattering, Pei Guogong, who was originally sitting on the main seat and amiable, instantly jumped up from the chair as if he had exploded, and his expression instantly became solemn: "Are you sure?" ”

"Weichen's sister-in-law once served as the judge of Qinzhou, and he also knows a lot about the affairs of the court and the rivers and lakes, and he personally told Weichen that there will be no fake."

"How did he know?"

"When the prince was killed in the waters of Qinzhou, my sister-in-law suspected that it was the Red Lotus Demon Maiden, so I was very clear about her physical features."

This is the rhetoric that he and Gu Mingsheng have thought of early on, and his niece must not appear in Pei Guogong's ears, so as not to cause trouble in vain.

"Gu Mingsheng? Isn't he hurt? ”

Although he is not very clear about the officials outside the capital, the situation in Qinzhou is a special case, after all, Zhou Xia's intentions are quite obvious, and he naturally has to control the personnel transfer situation around him.

Therefore, it is also known that he was injured before entering Jizhou, and it is said that if it were not for an old gentleman in his house, the fatal blow would not have been avoided.

When he first heard the news, he didn't have much interest in this Gu Mingsheng, but he was a little curious about the old gentleman, but later there were too many trivial things, and this matter was also forgotten by him.

It stands to reason that the news of Gu Mingsheng's injury should not be too well-informed, so where did he get this news from? Could it be the mysterious old gentleman?

At this moment, Pei Guogong had the desire to meet this person in his heart.

Just when Ye Yuqin was in trouble and didn't know how to answer these words, Pei Guogong suddenly smiled and said, "I heard that there is a mysterious old gentleman in Lord Gu's mansion, I wonder if this official is lucky enough to see him?" ”

Seeing that he automatically skipped this sentence, Ye Yuqin was naturally pleased, but when he heard his next question, he was stunned, and said with some uncertainty: "But the bookkeeper in the house?" ”

Ye Yuqin regretted it a little when he asked this, he had also met Mr. Gu Jia's account office a few times, and there was not much strangeness, why did it arouse Pei Guogong's interest?
