Chapter 137: Spearhead

"What made Brother Gu frown?" The prince held the folding fan, and he saw the faint melancholy on Gu Yanbai's body from afar, and he was very puzzled in his heart.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister is just worried about what His Majesty said today." Their Gu family is considered a party of the prince, so when Gu Yanbai said these words, he didn't have too much scruple about the prince.

"Since it is a matter that my father has given me, then you must do it properly." The prince said solemnly, the two exchanged a few words, and Gu Yanbai said goodbye first.

After returning to the Hou Mansion, he saw Mingyuexi sitting on the swing, looking happy and indisputable, and the thousands of sorrows in his heart also faded a little.

"Say, when will I be able to collect all my merits!" Looking at the merit book that was still a lot away from being full, Mingyuexi looked at the flower fairy who was summoned by her in front of her with some melancholy.

"Don't worry, sister, you are so powerful, you must be able to collect merit points quickly." The flower fairy flew around the Bright Moon Creek.

Gu Yanbai, who was on the side, saw Mingyuexi sitting on the swing and talking to himself, a little strange.

This woman can also be whimsical in the air.

However, through the previous times when Mingyuexi helped him, Gu Yanbai always felt that Mingyuexi seemed to be hiding something from him.

She doesn't seem to be as innocent as she seems.

Mingyuexi, how many things do you know about you. Just when Gu Yanbai was immersed in his thoughts, Ming Yuexi turned his head and saw him.

"Hey Gu Yanbai," what are you doing standing there?"

At that time, she had already gotten off the swing and walked to Gu Yanbai's side.

Gu Yanbai shook his head, and then said lightly: "The emperor sent me to thoroughly investigate the corruption in the court. ”

Corruption has swept the palace? Mingyuexi smacked her lips a little helplessly. Sure enough, whether it is ancient or modern, people are flocking to it for profit.

"Do you have any thoughts on this?" Gu Yanbai saw Ming Yuexi and asked with a look of wanting to speak and stopping.

Although he sent secret guards to report to various officials in the DPRK and China at any time to make comments on their habits, it was inevitable that sometimes there would be omissions, and he could not see them with his own eyes, so he could not cover all aspects.

But the emperor is furious today, which shows that there is a deep corruption in the DPRK and China, and it needs to be solved urgently.

"Do you have eyebrows?" Mingyuexi's eyes gradually became serious.

Gu Yanbai nodded, and slowly spoke: "Imperial Commander Zuo." ”

Captain Zuo? Mingyuexi secretly repeated in her heart, this position is the second **** in modern times, and the official position is not small.

Gu Yanbai nodded, as far as he knew, this Zuo Du Lieutenant Zhang was the queen's mother's family, almost in control of the lifeblood of the army, and he had been conscientious and strict in the army since he took office.

Unexpectedly, the emperor listed him as a key object of suspicion. Gu Yanbai rubbed his eyebrows, which were a little painful, no matter what, he still checked Lord Zhang first.

If he is innocent, seducing you will naturally show the emperor, if there is really corruption and bribery, then he will definitely not cover up because of the prince.

"How are you going to find out?" Ming Yuexi looked at his contemplative appearance, and asked lightly, now he needs to make a decision immediately to find out the real corrupt and bribed person as soon as possible.

After all, Master Zhang has a very good relationship with Xiaoyaohou, and she knows a little bit about it.

If Lord Zhang makes a mistake, then Xiaoyao Hou will definitely not sit idly by, and then things will become troublesome.

Gu Yanbai also knew this very well, and knew that he had to find out these things as soon as possible.

"A few days ago, I brought the master of Naba County over." Gu Yanbai always felt that the master must be related to some people in the court, and as for who it was, it depended on his next plan.

"So you're trying to use the master to lure out the real people behind the scenes?" Mingyuexi immediately guessed Gu Yanbai's thoughts.

Gu Yanbai nodded.

But this method has already failed once in the county order.

What's more, this minister of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, all of them are mixed in the officialdom and are at ease, and they must be a hundred times more shrewd than that master.

"It's difficult." Mingyuexi said worriedly.

"Let's try it, we only have this clue at the moment." Gu Yanbai was a little frustrated, he had lived in the temple for a long time, and he didn't want to, he couldn't even catch a corrupt official.

This made him feel very discouraged and full of fighting spirit.

"Who does Master Zhang usually associate with?" Mingyuexi sorted out her thoughts, and then slowly spoke.

"Liu Shangshu, Bachelor Du." Although Mr. Zhang is a general, he usually loves poetry and songs, so he went to find a painting game between the two in his spare time, maybe this is a breakthrough point.

"Then we'll... You go and find out. Mingyuexi realized that what she said was wrong, and immediately changed her words.

Gu Yanbai saw her thoughts and smiled, no matter what, since he was by her side, there should be no problem.

"Then let's go visit Liu Shangshu tomorrow." After Gu Yanbai finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and left.

Mingyuexi laughed happily.

This Gu Yanbai still understands me quite well.

In the evening, she brought the smoothie she made herself to Gu Yanbai's study.

I saw that he seemed to be talking to someone, and when he heard the movement outside, Gu Yanbai waved his hand, and the secret guard flew away.

"Come in." Gu Yanbai saw Mingyuexi standing outside the door and let her in.

Mingyuexi glanced at the room where there was still a group of people just now, but now there was only Gu Yanbai left, which was a little strange.

But she probably knew it in her heart, and she didn't ask much.

"I just went to see Xiaoyaohou, and my illness has been half cured." She placed the smoothie in her hand on the table. As the day came, the sky gradually became hotter, and even the evening wind carried the smell of summer.

"What is this?" Gu Yanbai had never seen it before.

The smoothie is drizzled with red bean raisins and brown sugar, like a melting iceberg.

Mingyuexi handed the spoon on the plate to Gu Yanbai: "Taste it." ”

Gu Yanbai scooped a spoonful and put it in his mouth, and suddenly the cold feeling melted between his lips and teeth.

"Not bad." Gu Yanbai nodded approvingly.

It was one of my hurried running in from the outer courtyard.

"Why are you so flustered?"

"Too.. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.. Locked up by the emperor! The little guy who was out of breath said, holding his knees with his hands.

"What the reason."

"It is said that the prince colluded with officials in the DPRK and China to engage in corruption and bribery."

After listening to this, Gu Yanbai put down the spoon and looked worried

The prince's temperament, he knows best.

The emperor asked him to strictly investigate corruption, and before the matter began, some people couldn't hold back and wanted to pull the prince into the water, and it seemed that he was prepared.

"You say, what are we going to do?" Gu Yanbai glanced up at Mingyue Creek.

"It's better to go to Master Hou to discuss."

Mingyuexi's proposal reminded Gu Yanbai that now that Xiaoyaohou's health is half better, he will also re-participate in this matter in the court.

Ming Yuexi felt that Xiaoyao Hou must have known that the prince was locked up by now, and he must be thinking of a way to find out who was behind the scenes, just like them.
