Chapter 22: Layer after Layer of Mist
"Isn't the ring in Liang Wenyin's hands? And what is the relationship between the first valley lord and the Liang Mansion? ”
Jingchen asked curiously. Bai Gao just shook his head helplessly.
"I don't know about this yet, Jingchen! The crimson is for Lu Xiaoyun for the time being. I'm afraid that Liang Jiyuan won't be able to find the ring, and when the time comes, he will make a dangerous move. ”
Jingchen rolled his eyes, turned around and left, "Do you still need to say this?" I'm going to catch up on sleep, and you can watch for yourself. ”
As soon as Jingchen left, only Lu Xiaoyun and Bai Gao were left. I don't know what to say in this atmosphere, both of them were silent for a while, and Bai Gao spoke!
"Get the ring back and go back! You'll have to ask your uncle about something! And your coming-of-age ceremony is almost here! ”
Lu Xiaoyun nodded and let out a long sigh.
"Why am I so dark where I am? Alas! Growing up, I have never had a day of peace of mind! I don't even want to go back to Hui Valley, I don't want to be this young valley master anymore. ”
recalled Lu Xiaoyun's days in the valley. Noble in front of people, embarrassed in the back, it is because of the identity of this young valley lord that God has taken away how many good times she has spent in the flower season.
Bai Gao listened to this word, and suddenly felt that there was an indescribable taste in his heart, an inexplicable emotion.
"That's not your reason, you've done a great job!"
Bai Gao looked at Lu Xiaoyun seriously. The first time he was praised by Bai Gao, a person who never gave him a good face, Lu Xiaoyun was still a little dazed.
"Human nature is what it is, whether it's you or not, and if it weren't for you, there would be another you to take your place. Then these things still happen, and you should be glad that you did! ”
"I'm glad I met!" This sentence made Lu Xiaoyun understand. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen, although the red dust of the rivers and lakes has caused many men to be rewarded, but how many people can forget about each other in the rivers and lakes.
"Why should I rejoice?!"
"Because you're Lu Xiaoyun! You won't stay out of it, you'll always be the one at the front! ”
At this moment, the four eyes are facing each other......
"Oooo Wow! ”
A hurried knock on the door sounded, which made Bai Gao and Lu Xiaoyun suddenly nervous. Who will come at this time?
The people outside the door saw that there was nothing in the inner room, and reported the big name, "Miss Yun'er!" I'm Master Gu. ”
Lord Gu? At this time, Lord Gu should have gone to the court, how could he appear here.
As soon as the door opened, I saw Master Gu dressed up in disguise, but this dress was too ugly, and it stinked!
Bai Gao and Lu Xiaoyun both covered their mouths and noses, feeling that this Gu Taiyuan should go and pick up a lot of dung!
"Master Gu, what have you done here? It stinks! Didn't you go to court? ”
Gu Taiyuan closed the door and said in a mysterious whisper:
"I took sick leave today, and I came to you on purpose. After your friend left that day, I thought about it for a long time, and felt that the matter between the Liang Mansion and the court officials was not as simple as I thought! ”
Gu Taiyuan took out a large pile of letter paper from his pocket, put it on the table, and talked seriously about his investigation of the Liang Mansion over the years.
Such a serious look also made Lu Xiaoyun and Bai Gao not care so much about the charming aura that permeated the air.
It turned out that the first friendship of the Liang Mansion twelve years ago was the Lingwang Mansion, when the Lingwang was still there, and the new emperor had not ascended the throne for a few years, and the government was not very stable.
King Ling helped the new emperor deal with the implementation of the new policy and people's livelihood work, but at that time, the treasury was not very abundant, and there were problems with funds. At this time, Liang Jiyuan stood up and solved King Ling's urgent need, and in the next few years, he did many things with King Ling for the benefit of the country and the people.
"According to you, this Liang Jiyuan is still a good person who cares about national affairs!?" Lu Xiaoyun asked puzzledly, this Liang Jiyuan is far from what he knows in front of him.
I saw Gu Taiyuan's expression gloomy and he shook his head. Go on.
"The turning point of events was after King Ling fell seriously ill and died. Because of the previous work of the Liang Mansion and the King of Ling, they gained a large number of good reputations, and even the emperor rewarded them. It can be described as famous. After the death of King Ling, he began to make friends with some court officials in private. ”
Saying that, Gu Taiyuan gave Lu Xiaoyun a list of people who had secretly befriended Liang Jiyuan over the years. Lu Xiaoyun took it and turned her head to let Bai Gao look at it together.
This behavior made Gu Taiyuan see it, and he poured himself a glass of water to suppress the shock.
After Bai Gao and Lu Xiaoyun saw it, they were puzzled.
"Yesterday, Jingchen went to see these officials, and Liang Jiyuan just made friends, although these people can be regarded as important ministers of the court. But they were not controlled with drugs. On the contrary, what is particularly strange is that it is a few inconspicuous and unknown petty officials who are controlled by drugs! ”
Lu Xiaoyun looked at Bai Gao and felt that he couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't tell what medicine Liang Jiyuan was buying in the gourd.
"Look at these important ministers of the court, what do they have in common!"
Bai Gao pointed to the list of personnel for this blockbuster film, and then looked at it carefully. After reading it, I was even more confused.
"These officials are either daughters who enter the palace as concubines and concubines, or they are people from the Ministry of Rites."
Gu Taiyuan nodded: "That's right!" Then what do you think Liang Jiyuan wants to do? ”
Lu Xiaoyun shook her head, unable to figure it out. He always felt that Liang Jiyuan was quite deep in the city, and it was not something that ordinary people could see through.
Gu Taiyuan looked at Bai Gao, he had never seen this person before. But it seems that Lu Xiaoyun has a good relationship with him. And since it was Lu Xiaoyun who he reminded, he should have some ideas.
"I don't know what this boy thinks?!"
Bai Gao paused, his tone unhurried and unwavering. It's really an emotionless killer.
"I'm very interested in those poisoned petty officers! What did Liang Jiyuan do to control them? Does Master Gu know the background of these people? ”
"Those people are also unlucky, they were promoted by King Ling during his lifetime, but as a result, they died as soon as they became King Ling! That's it for now! ”
After Gu Taiyuan finished speaking, Bai Gao looked at him, but Gu Taiyuan didn't avoid looking at Bai Gao as well, and he was on par for a while. It's just that Gu Taiyuan smiled after that.
"I know what Childe has in mind, but don't forget, there's still something I don't understand!"
Lu Xiaoyun couldn't speak half of what the two of them said, she was uncomfortable, and their eyes were about to fall out. But here, Lu Xiaoyun naturally knows it. Liang Jiyuan may not be able to get rid of the death of King Ling.
"Enough of you two, don't your eyes hurt?! Go on! ”
Both of them put away their yin and yang attitudes and continued to discuss. Gu Taiyuan began to tell more secrets of the Liang Mansion in earnest.
For those important ministers of the imperial court, Liang Jiyuan was very polite. Not only did he not attack them, but he also helped them do things. Embezzle taxes, collect intelligence, send some unsightly things to the ladies of the harem, and even help them kill people!!
"Master Gu, you don't care about this?! Are you still worthy of being the prefect? ”
Lu Xiaoyun jumped up angrily, this is simply madness, Gu Taiyuan didn't report to the emperor to deal with this monster. Gu Taiyuan was also very excited when he heard this.
"Why are you so excited? How do you know I didn't report it? But what the emperor saw, thought, and considered more than just right and wrong. And the stability and development of this imperial court, do you know how many officials are involved? I haven't investigated it carefully, so many are you going to let the emperor give the court a pot and make the court turbulent? ”
Having said that, Lu Xiaoyun also understands that people in different positions have different compulsions, just like he, a young valley master who is not worthy of the name, has also done many things against his will.
Not to mention the head of a country. But I always can't pass that level in my heart.
Lu Xiaoyun's angry arrogance instantly disappeared, turning into helplessness and hesitation. Gu Taiyuan thought that he was too excited and scared Lu Xiaoyun.
"I also handed over the excerpt, and the emperor also saw and dealt with it, but it was all for show, and by the way, he pulled a person suspected of it to ask for the guilt, and turned a blind eye."
Bai Gao didn't want to waste time listening to other people's explanations and soothing emotions, not to mention that this Lord Gu didn't seem to like him very much, but he cared about Lu Xiaoyun.
"Then what does Liang Jiyuan want to borrow these people's hands for? Or is it what to get? ”
The three of them in the room began to fall into deep thought again, and this was the key to solving the puzzle. Knowing what Liang Jiyuan wants, then all the mysteries will be solved.
"Harem concubines, important ministers of the Ministry of Rites, people who have a request, the palace?! It's not controlling the imperial court, it's ......"
Lu Xiaoyun whispered and analyzed, and suddenly a thought flashed in his mind.
"In addition to the Ministry of Rites, Liang Jiyuan wants to contact the harem the most, so the two should be harmonious...... Liang Jiyuan wanted to get something to the person who was most likely to come into contact with. Could it be that what Liang Jiyuan wants is in the palace? ”
Bai Gao nodded, feeling that what Lu Xiaoyun said was not unreasonable.
"Probably, but this is all our speculation, and it has not been proven. But since Liang Jiyuan wants to get your ring, then I think he may have something else to want! ”
After saying everything that should be said, Gu Taiyuan also got up.
"That's all I know, and I'm not going to do what you want to do. Because there are no more people like me in the imperial court, I'm afraid it really won't be able to support it. My importance cannot be underestimated! But Liang Jiyuan, I will help you keep an eye on it, and I will inform you later if there is something. ”
Just as Gu Taiyuan opened the door and left, Lu Xiaoyun stopped him.
"Master Gu, I have to trouble you to send the antidote to those officials later."
Gu Taiyuan smiled when he heard this, and he was really not mistaken. Lu Xiaoyun is a good girl.
"Thanks!"
The fog peeled off layer after layer, and it was almost breathless. Lu Xiaoyun suddenly felt so tired, but this is about herself, as well as Hui Yougu, and even her mother, and there may be a lot of people involved.
Lu Xiaoyun felt that her head hurt, rubbed her temples, sat down, and drank her saliva.
"You don't have to worry, we'll go back when you get your ring. The elder and your uncle should know something, Jingchen and I are on your side! ”
Lu Xiaoyun looked up at Bai Gao, at this moment Bai Gao was a little less indifferent and more warm. That's nice!
