Chapter 393: Late at night
Shen Zhongbai never understood why Gu Linjiang would arrange so many people to be officials below the fourth grade, was there really any purpose?
"Your Majesty, the grass people can't be completely called right now, but judging from the current situation, it may not be a good thing for the emperor to appropriately weaken Prime Minister Gu's power."
"But what does that mean to you?"
Gu Yan really didn't expect that he would ask himself such a question, it was indeed his own thoughtlessness, a cautious person like Shen Zhongbai really couldn't easily accept his own statement, and it was natural to have such concerns.
"Your Majesty, the Gusu family is in business, if a large amount of gold and silver in the city is monopolized by officials, where will the capital come from for those of us who do business? What's more, our Gusu family has been living in peace with everyone for so long, and there is no conflict, but they not only exploit the people, but also affect our normal business, I can't stand such a thing, so I will do this. ”
Gu Yan's mind was spinning rapidly, for fear that if she had any loopholes, she might arouse Shen Zhongbai's unnecessary suspicions.
Shen Zhongbai's expression was still very suspicious, but after a while, he slowly relaxed.
"You mean, all the news you get now is because what these officials are doing now, harming the interests of the people, and at the same time harming your interests, so you will take action?"
Shen Zhongbai didn't have any big doubts about Gu Suran's explanation, even if he had now become a person in power, he couldn't affect the concept that he had formed since before, thinking that there was no treachery and no business, and he felt that people died for money, and the year was disappointed was the unchanging truth of so many dynasties, so he can now be said to be convinced of what the person in front of him said.
"It's true, it's just that although the grass people are already horses now, they are not officials in the court after all, even if they want to talk about these things, it is not their turn to talk about them, so they can only take Her Royal Highness the princess into danger, and ask the emperor to punish him."
"If you know that it is for the people of the world, it will not matter if this law is not punished, just remember, next time if there is a cover-up high thing happening, you must not use Si Yin's safety to test some unknown things, this time, if Si Yin is not investigated, I will not pursue it, but you have to help me continue to keep an eye on these officials below the fourth grade under Gu Linjiang, once there is any change, you must tell me in time."
Shen Zhongbai's biggest heart problem now is Gu Linjiang, and the current Gu Suran, for himself, is actually just a person who can help him get rid of Gu Linjiang, he is just a businessman, no matter what, it will not affect his throne.
Gu Yan didn't expect that although there were some unexpected episodes in the matter, she finally completed it smoothly, but it was a pity that Gu Suliang was not here this time, otherwise, she would have been able to prove that her decision was correct this time.
Gu Su Liang was upstairs, and after confirming that Gu Yan had nothing to do, she didn't worry anymore, these days of getting along, Gu Su Liang gradually got to know Gu Yan a little better, she is indeed a very attentive girl, and she is different from ordinary women, so in this kind of thing, as long as it is not too big, she is acceptable.
What's more, today's matter was arranged by Gu Yan in advance, so there would probably be no problem.
It's just that over there in Yuhualou, do you want to take a look?
Because without Gu Yan by his side, Gu Su Liang would not be easy to look at, and for the time being, he couldn't think of any other way to hide Gu Linjiang's eyeliner, and when he approached Yuhualou, he could only hide in the dark and take a look at what was the reason for Gu Linjiang's frequent entry and exit from Yuhualou during this time.
"But if this continues, will there be any problems?" Shen Qianshan picked up the cup in his hand, to be honest, at that time, he handed over the secret guard in his hand to Chang'er, in fact, to some extent, it was to let Chang'er protect himself, and he didn't use these secret guards with strong martial arts to do these things, although everything is still going smoothly now, but who can guarantee that this time will not be the beginning of the next nightmare?
Gu Yan is helping Shen Zhongbai on the surface, but Gu Linjiang is not an idle person, even if Gu Linjiang has not moved for the time being, it does not mean that if this matter continues to develop, Gu Linjiang will not jump over the wall in a hurry, and simply pull Gu Yan into the water together?
After Gu Huai'an listened to Shen Qianshan's words, he also frowned, at the beginning, he was also very opposed to Chang'er using this method to confront Gu Linjiang, but so far, everything is still going well, so he slowly put his mind at ease.
Gu Linjiang is still just a minister after all, even if he has the ability to reach the sky, the person who sits on the throne now is also Shen Zhongbai, as long as Gu Yan is still protected by Shen Zhongbai behind him, Gu Linjiang should not be stupid enough to do something to Gu Yan for the time being, right?
"No, I always feel that this matter is not as simple as it seems, I must go to Xiaoyao Tower tonight to figure this matter out."
Gu Yan followed the clues given by his secret guards and helped Shen Zhongbai quickly get rid of several of Gu Linjiang's students, perhaps because everything was going so smoothly that Gu Yan inevitably felt a little carried away, and even forgot to put away her edge.
Gu Yan packed up her things early and was about to go to bed, but she heard a rustling sound in the place where she had a door bolt, and the Xiaoyao Building was almost full of organs inside and out, and the person who could easily come in was not a person who knew the paparazzi around here, but she must be a master, Gu Chang was still a little scared in the bed alone, but she couldn't scream to startle the snake, so she reached out and took out the short dagger that she had been hiding under the bed and held it tightly in the palm of her hand.
Shen Qianshan wanted to come directly to Gu Yan when he came, but he didn't expect Gu Yan to rest so early today, when he arrived at her door, Gu Yan had already locked the door, and he was forced to study the door bolt here, thinking about it, he really felt aggrieved.
Shen Qianshan generally complained in his heart, while preparing to cut the door bolt with a dagger, he was also the princess who had married the door several times, and now he had to sneak in if he wanted to see him, which really made him feel a little unbalanced.
"Smack!" The sound of the deadbolt falling to the ground sounded, Gu Yan's heart became even more nervous, if anyone looked at him unpleasantly, and wanted to take advantage of the dead of night to come over and kill people, he would really be finished.
"Really, why do you have to cover your whole head when you sleep?" Shen Qianshan walked to the side of the bed, and when he saw Gu Yan wrapped in a silkworm cocoon on the bed, he couldn't help frowning, maybe because the sky was too dark and he was willing, Shen Qianshan didn't find Gu Yan who was still scared and trembling, but just stepped forward to open her quilt.
said that it was too late, the dagger in Gu Yan's hand flew out quickly, although Shen Qianshan hid in time, but because of the reason for reaching out to block the dagger, he was scratched, Gu Yan was also shocked, I thought that I didn't hit the person, but I found that the person in front of me was still calmly staying in place, and finally my eyes got used to it, and I saw the magnified handsome face in front of me.
Gu Yan rummaged through the cabinet for a long time before finding the medicine box he wanted to use, because he was usually not injured much, so he finally found a particularly remote place where medicine was similar, Shen Qianshan waved his hand instead.
"Fortunately, the painting is not very deep, or let me, by the time you find the medicine, I'm afraid I'll have lost too much blood and died."
Shen Qianshan has rich experience in the rivers and lakes, and said that the hidden weapon is not difficult for her, but he didn't expect that the person in the cup was not asleep, and he was still holding a dagger in his hand and preparing to plot against himself, so he naturally had no defense.
Did I ask you to come to my room in the middle of the night? Gu Yan flattened her mouth, but she still didn't say what she wanted to say just now.
"What's going on with you? Why did you come to me at night? Isn't there something important? ”
Because of Shen Qianshan's current identity problem, the two of them have actually avoided meeting as much as possible, and even if they do, they have no choice but to meet, why did Shen Qianshan come over to find him today.
"You've been doing these things lately, aren't you a little too aggressive? I always feel that just because Gu Linjiang can calm down now doesn't mean that he will have such a good temper in the future. ”
Gu Linjiang has also been in the imperial court for so many years, since the reign of the first emperor, he has been fighting from the bottom, his means, even if he adds Gu Huai'an, may not be able to resist it, Gu Yan is now alone, can he really overthrow Gu Linjiang's power with the power of one person?
"I don't think it's anything, Gu Linjiang doesn't have any reaction to what I'm doing now, maybe it's because he's busy worrying about himself now, that's why he's like this? He's probably not as smart as you think, so don't worry too much, right? ”
In Gu Chang's recent time, things have been going too smoothly, so even if Shen Qianshan is worried now, Gu Chang will not choose to give up halfway, and the things she believes must at least be done completely in order to feel at ease.
Gu Linjiang affected their judgment several times, if they hadn't united with Shen Zhongbai to get rid of Gu Linjiang, the final result would probably be completely different.
