Gu Fanghua mourned in his heart, his eyes went dark in an instant, and he returned to Tangshan Courtyard.

The empty and exquisite room, the figures of Mo Lan and Green Chrysanthemum vigil, looked warm and peaceful, but Gu Fanghua was full of anger and had nowhere to vent.

Gu Fanghua lay on the bed, using all her self-control, so that she didn't scream. The burning pain that she thought she had forgotten was grinding at her skin inch by inch.

The unwillingness, anger, and pain of the previous life all came to her heart, and Gu Fanghua couldn't wait to look up to the sky and howl before she could vent.

But this is not the previous life, and now it has begun to change. Ye Shisan is no longer Yan Shaoxun's right-hand man, and Chen Liu's palace has also been rejected by the emperor's uncle early, and everything can change.

Gu Fanghua pulled up the silk quilt, covered her head tightly, kept taking deep breaths, and then slowly spit it out, the urge to destroy everything slowly dissipated.

The Queen Mother's grandmother is fine, Xiao Yao is also fine, Concubine Li, who framed Yan Rongling, has not yet entered the palace, everything is promising, not in a hurry, not in a hurry.

The most important thing at present is to uncover the corruption case of Tongjing Straight Road, and then the birthday of the emperor's uncle, to cut off Yan Shaoxun's Qingyun Road. Then there is to save Xiao Yao's life, prevent him from dying early, and leave Rong Ling's brother as an arm.

After careful consideration, Gu Fanghua finally slowly calmed down, fell asleep again, and slept until dawn without dreams.

Here, Yan Rongling, Xiao Yao, and Gu Shinian have already arrived in Tongzhou, and Hu Qiang was left outside the city, so they entered the city in batches to find evidence of Hu Luo's corruption.

They had already gone to inspect the straights before, but they saw that there were only a few people working on the damaged straights, and they were all old, weak, sick and disabled.

Xiao Yao, Yan Rongling, and Gu Shinian sat in an elegant room on the second floor of a teahouse, sipping tea and looking at the bustling crowd downstairs outside the window, talking in a low voice.

"Lu Yuan, you see that there are not many young adults on this Tongzhou Street, and they haven't gone to build a straight road, so where did they go?"

"This is indeed strange, Lu Fei has already gone to investigate, and he will find out later. Now that the weather is fine, Hu Luo doesn't arrange for someone to repair the straight, can he wait for the rainstorm to come, and then he can't repair it? ”

Gu Shinian also frowned and said: "Such a person is still sitting in the position of Fu Yin, I don't know how many moths there are in this Great Zhou world?" ”

Xiao Yaosu held the pot in his hand, refilled the tea for Yan Rongling, and said with relief: "Second Brother Gu, Rong Ling, don't be too sad, this world is so big, there are no surprises, one or two rats, what's so strange?" When the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are observed, there are no disciples, and this has been the case throughout the ages. ”

How could Yan Rongling not understand the truth?

It's just that, as the prince of the Great Zhou, seeing this blatant and corrupt person, it is difficult to get rid of it.

"This straight road through the state is very important, now the Khitan outside Yanmen Pass is eyeing the tiger, if there is a war, there is no fast track to transport troops, how to resist?"

Yan Rongling's concerns are also what Xiao Yao thinks in his heart, for the sake of today's plan, it is better to repair the straight road to Beijing as soon as possible.

Soon Lu Fei came back, only to see that he was sweating profusely, and the long shirt on his body was already soaked, Xiao Yao hurriedly handed him another pot of herbal tea next to him.

Lu Fei was not polite, and directly raised the pot and poured half of the pot.

After taking a breath, he said: "Young master, it turns out that the young adults near Tongzhou have all gone to repair the ancestral grave of the ancestral hall of the Hu family." It's so magnificent, the entire Cangnan Mountain belongs to the Hu family! ”

Yan Rongling sank his face and got up suddenly, and Gu Shinian hurriedly stopped him.

"Rong Ling, don't worry. At present, we only need to get Hu Luo's forced recruitment of young adults, as well as evidence for personal gain, and everything will be handed over to the emperor. ”

Yan Rongling sat back down again and pondered, "How can you get evidence here?" ”

After all, Gu Shinian was older, and he was more disciplined, and he pondered for a moment and said: "The imperial court has allocated so much silver to repair the straight road, so there must be a labor roster and a list of materials." We only need to get these two things, after all, the ancestral tomb of the ancestral hall is different from the straight road. ”

Xiao Yao nodded, agreeing with what Gu Shinian said, but he was a little worried, the Hu family was deeply rooted in Tongzhou, and if they were discovered by the Hu family, how would they get out?

Yan Rongling carefully recalled the repair work book of the Tongjing Straight Road that he had seen in the Ministry of Industry. At that time, when I checked it myself, I felt that it was clear whether it was manual arrangement or material transportation, but why was it not good to repair the straight?

Now I know that these are just stealing beams and changing pillars. This time, we must get the evidence.

The three of them were silent when there was a noise outside.

"What do you do!"

"The small one is the shopkeeper of the Mingxiang Teahouse, and I saw that a few masters ordered the best Biluochun in our teahouse, and I came to send some refreshments unique to our small shop."

"Shopkeeper, wait a minute, I'll ask the young master."

Yan Rongling and Xiao Yao exchanged a look, Lu Fei went out to open the door, and the shopkeeper walked in with a plate of snacks and pastries.

"Are you the shopkeeper of the teahouse?"

"The contemptible person's surname is Shi, and the guest officer calls me the shopkeeper Shi, this is the best refreshment in the shop, how many guest officers can taste it?"

Xiao Yao took a crab roe crisp from the tray and sniffed it slightly in front of his nose: "Shopkeeper Shi, I don't think the Biluo Spring after last year is very good, but your crab roe crisp is a must?" ”

The shopkeeper Shi looked stiff, and said with a smile: "The guest officer has good eyesight, it is not easy to distinguish between new tea and old tea, and it can also distinguish between the front and the back of the Ming Dynasty, dare to ask the son's surname?" ”

"My surname is Lu, the word is far away, this is my classmate and friend, surname Rong Mingling, this is my Senior Brother Gu."

The shopkeeper Shi smiled all over his face, and said tentatively: "Listen to the accent of Lu Gongzi, is it from Jiangsu and Zhejiang?" I don't know what to do when you come to Tongzhou? ”

Xiao Yao put the folding fan in his hand on the table, and said unhappily: "Shopkeeper Shi, come to your store to drink tea, and do you have to investigate the root cause of the household registration?" ”

"Mr. Lu misunderstood, and the contemptible people were worried that Mr. Lu and his classmates had just arrived and didn't understand the rules of Tongzhou, so they came to remind one or two. Uninvited, I hope the son will not be surprised. ”

The shopkeeper Shi made a gesture again and again, Yan Rongling already roughly understood what Xiao Yao meant, and deliberately said in a pure official language: "Lu Fei, we have traveled for half a week, and even the capital has not said anything, there are any rules." What rules are you talking about in this poor country? ”

Xiao Yao answered: "Rong Ling, I came to Tongzhou a few years ago, there are no rules, the stone shopkeeper scares us, right?" ”

The shopkeeper Shi hurriedly bowed and said: "Don't dare, don't dare, it's just that Tongzhou over the years is different from before." Contemptible people are also afraid of sitting together, so say a few more words. ”

Gu Shinian's sword eyebrows twisted, and he scolded: "Sitting? What a big breath, my cousin's in-laws are in the middle of the household, except for the emperor, who dares to say that they are sitting! ”

When the shopkeeper Shi heard Gu Shinian report to his family like this, he knew it in his heart, and it seemed that it was just a few young masters who had spare money in the family, and they just came out to enjoy the mountains and rivers.

"Yes, yes, yes! What Gu Gongzi said is that it is contemptible and talkative, no blame, no blame. ”

Xiao Yao pretended to be interested, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Shi, meeting is fate, it's better to sit for a while." I came and went in a hurry back then, and I didn't know what interesting places in Tongzhou were there, so why don't you introduce the shopkeeper to our brothers? ”
