Chapter 367: Suspicion Deepens
Gu Huai'an just thought about Shen Qianshan to describe that scene, even if he was a doctor, he wanted to be disgusted when he thought about it.
"Did you just go into the city? Has anyone asked you what you're here for? Gu Huai'an stepped forward and grabbed the little soldier, this looks like the people in Huang Hao's army, there is no reason to lie to himself about this kind of thing.
Xiaobing shook his head helplessly, "No, when I passed, there were only two guards at the gate of the city, and I saw from a distance that there was no major problem inside, so I came back directly to report and did not enter the city." ”
"Did anyone see you?"
Things were far worse than they had imagined, and not to mention that there seemed to be some mysterious ritual going on in the city, and killing people at will, it seemed that it was definitely not a trivial matter, although now that the drought had passed, it was very likely that something more serious awaited them.
"No, I just glanced at it from afar."
Huang Hao heard them ask so many questions, and he was also suspicious in his heart, "What did you see?" Tell me about it. Now it seems that she is the only one in the clouds, feeling like a fool, it is really uncomfortable, Gu Huaian waved his hand and shouted at the team behind, "Camp here first!" ”
This time the matter is likely to be more complicated than they imagined, and it seems that this disaster relief has inadvertently broken a major event. Feng Yao told Song Yu and Huang Hao everything he saw, and because of his current identity, Shen Qianshan couldn't tell them everything, so he could only keep a certain distance from Gu Huai'an.
Gu Huai'an's side did not go well, but he was far from expecting how serious something happened in Kyoto.
Gu Su Liang's hunch was correct, Gu Linjiang was really ready to do it to himself after a few days in his brother's shop, but he didn't expect that Gu Linjiang didn't do anything else, but he just set his sights on the audio, and his ambition was really big, and he didn't even cover it up well, so he directly released a rocket and burned Lingyin Pavilion.
Gu Su Liang knew that when the fire broke out downstairs, the smoke had already run upstairs, although he was flustered, he didn't forget to solve Gu Yan's fake identity, he carried the person behind him, and jumped out directly from the position of the window.
"Master, are you alright?" Chasing the wind lives downstairs, and he has already begun to take people to put out the fire, and he is already disgraced at this moment, and when he saw Gu Su Liang, he didn't forget to come up first to see if he had anything wrong.
Gu Su Liang shook his head, "Quickly find a helper to put out the fire!" ”
In the past few days, Gu Linjiang has been constantly inserting people in the company's parting store, also to make Gu Su Liang suspicious and take more precautions against the people inside Lingyin Pavilion, but fortunately, Lingyin Pavilion has enough manpower, and the fire was quickly extinguished, and finally no one else was hurt.
However, the fire for most of the night still burned down the Lingyin Pavilion and only one shelf remained, which brought a lot of losses to Gu Su Liang, looking at the only remaining building shelf, Gu Su Liang also felt a little aggrieved in his heart.
Fortunately, Gu Su Liang not only has the property of Lingyin Pavilion in his hands, after the fire, he can also settle other people in Lingyin Pavilion, but this is only the next morning, and the matter of the fire in Lingyin Pavilion in the middle of the night has spread throughout Kyoto, and naturally it has not escaped Shen Zhongbai's ears.
After Gu Suran and Shen Siyin made a marriage contract, the Gusu family was also a relative of the emperor, and someone dared to touch the Gusu family, that is, it was clear that they wanted to get along with Shen Zhongbai, and Shen Zhongbai immediately ordered someone to send someone to investigate the causes and consequences of this matter, so it was not difficult to investigate the relationship between this matter and Gu Linjiang in the clues.
"Prime Minister Gu has heard that there was a fire in Lingyin Pavilion a few days ago, and the entire Lingyin Pavilion is not lightly burned?" Beside him, he picked up his cup, and the two of them seemed to be chatting, but Shen Zhongbai's meaning was already obvious, Gu Linjiang didn't know what to do, and he actually stretched out his hand to Lingyin Pavilion, which was a little too ignorant.
When Gu Linjiang did this, he didn't sneak it in, Shen Zhongbai could quickly investigate his body, and it was also in his expectation, if he wasn't completely sure, he would never have appeared here so generously.
"The emperor doesn't know something, and the old minister also has his own reasons for doing this, hasn't the emperor ever cared about it? The second young master of the Gusu family, did he appear too suddenly? Have you ever thought that the Gusu family is in the capital, if the Gusu family really has a second young master, why did everyone never know about it before? ”
After listening to Gu Linjiang's words, Shen Zhongbai thought about it for a while, but he still opened his mouth to fight back, "Prime Minister, what you said is not right, Gu Su Liang has already said it, Gu Su Ran has been weak and sick since he was a child, so he has been recuperating in the Jiangnan area, and after recuperating from his illness, there seems to be nothing wrong with coming to Kyoto to join his brother, right?" The prime minister should not find some unreasonable excuses for his absurd behavior. ”
"Oh? Does the emperor think so? Gu Linjiang stood up and continued, "Your Majesty, the old minister has been to Jiangnan deliberately, and there is indeed such a little boy in the Gusu family who is recuperating from his illness, but the old minister visited the doctor who once treated Gu Suran in Jiangnan, and everyone unanimously said that this little son's illness has long been hopeless, since this is the case, then who is this Gu Suran who is now appearing in front of the emperor?" ”
Gu Linjiang has been able to dominate the court for so many years, naturally because he can get what the emperor is thinking in his heart, looking at Shen Zhongbai like this, Gu Linjiang knows that his goal has been achieved, and the whole fire is a big gift from Gu Linjiang to Gu Su Liang, since he is not prepared to stand on his side from beginning to end, you will not plant a bane by yourself, let him turn to Shen Zhongbai.
Shen Zhongbai has a suspicious personality, Gu Linjiang doesn't even need to show his own evidence, he only needs to tell Shen Zhongbai everything he found out, and Shen Zhongbai himself will panic.
According to Shen Zhongbai's suspicious character, after discovering all kinds of clues about this matter, he will definitely suspect the two brothers of the Gusu family, as for whether this Gu Suran is true or not, Gu Linjiang will not care at all, Shen Zhongbai's suspicious personality is definitely enough for Gusu Liang to deal with.
Gu Su Liang himself was choked by the smoke, rested in the inn for two or three days, and kept pouring tea, but his throat still hurt terribly, fortunately, he thought in advance that Gu Linjiang would do it to himself, and sent Gu Yan out of Kyoto, if Gu Yan was there, he might not be able to protect her.
What's more, this fire may be just the beginning, in case Gu Linjiang attacks again, he doesn't know how to deal with it.
After Gu Linjiang left, Shen Zhongbai did think carefully about the previous matter, the last time he asked Si Yin to visit Gu Suran when he was seriously injured, but he only glanced at him from a distance, and even when his guards wanted to go up to see it, they were seriously injured by Gu Su Liang.
At that time, because Shen Siyin insisted that this matter was all the fault of his guards, so he didn't dig deeper, now that he thinks about it, it is indeed very suspicious, could it be that this Gu Suran, is it really some kind of unsightly person?
The more Shen Zhongbai thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt in his heart, put down the fold in his hand, and went directly to Shen Siyin's bedroom, Shen Siyin didn't know about the fire in Lingyin Pavilion, and was still fiddling with the flowers and plants in his hands at the moment, Shen Zhongbai entered the door, and just said hello.
"Brother Huang, why are you free to come over today?"
"Si Yin, do you know about the fire in Lingyin Pavilion?" Shen Zhongbai didn't prepare to go around the bend with his sister, so he went straight to the point, this matter will still have something to do with Shen Siyin, and it is fair to let her know about this matter.
Hearing the news, Shen Siyin immediately put down the scissors in his hand, "Brother Huang, what did you just say?" Is there a fire in the Ringing Pavilion? ”
Shen Siyin has a really good impression of the two brothers, Gu Suran and Gu Su Liang, especially Gu Su Liang, a gentle and humble gentleman, and she is even more deeply concerned, so she will naturally care more, "When did it happen, did you hurt anyone?" ”
"It was about a few days ago, I heard that it didn't hurt anyone, but the two sons of the Gusu family seem to be very smoky, and they haven't seen anyone for a few days, Si Yin, you should also care more about your donkey, such a big thing, you don't know at all?"
Shen Zhongbai, as the emperor, if he rashly went out of the palace to inquire about this matter, he would definitely attract the attention of others, but Si Yin was different, after all, Gu Suran was now her concubine, and it was natural for her to care more, but Shen Siyin seemed to have a very good impression of the two brothers of the Gu Su family, and even when he spoke, he was partial to listening and believing, and he was more towards the two of them.
Shen Zhongbai frowned and expressed his concerns, "Si Yin, do you remember the last time my guards rushed up to see Gu Suran's matter?" ”
After Shen Siyin heard that no one was injured, his heart relaxed, he quietly listened to Shen Zhongbai's words, and nodded, "That's natural, don't say anything else, Siyin thinks that the imperial brother's guard is too ignorant, and others are being injured, so he rushed forward." ”
"Have you thought about it carefully, when he stepped forward, why did Gu Su Liang have such a strong reaction, the same man, is there anything he can't see? The royal brother has always been very suspicious of this Gu Suran who suddenly appeared, so this time, I want Si Yin to help the imperial brother take a look at whether there is any problem with this Gu Suran......
