Chapter 15: This Move
Dai Mianshan's identity that had been hidden for many years was revealed by Gu Changming, but he generously admitted: "Guozi is my only child, and I definitely can't sit idly by at that time." ”
"Mr. Dai's identity has been revealed, and more and more questions have followed, isn't it?" Gu Changming expected that Dingfang would induce Guo Zi to go to the Criminal Division to rescue Sun Youxiang, which was just a beginning. Now that Fang Yuan has been killed, Dai Mianshan's appearance does look a little haggard.
"Not only can my identity be preserved in the Criminal Division, but the identities of many minor officials lurking in the court have also been revealed one by one. The emperor was very angry about this, and I was the origin. Dai Mianshan suddenly smiled and said, "If you have to go back to the source, I am willing to take this responsibility." ”
"Find the murderer who killed the original party, since the other party is constantly suppressing, we can also take the opportunity to track down. It's a game, it's about speed, whoever is faster will win. Gu Changming looked in the direction of the Criminal Division, "Speed is also needed to escape, and speed is also needed to save people." ”
"I have never liked to deal with your father, his personality is too straightforward, although he also serves the emperor, he is always in the light, and I am a shadow who can't show up. Unexpectedly, it was like acquaintance with you at first sight. Dai Mianshan nodded and said, "When you say that, I have regained my confidence." ”
"For the sake of fruit, I hope that Mr. Dai will not have an accident." Gu Changming's words were sincere, what kind of person Dai Mianshan was, he could naturally see that he and Guozi were rare confidants, "Guozi has not forgiven Mr. Dai yet, so why do you have to work harder." ”
"Xiao Gu." Dai Mianshan's expression struggled several times, and there seemed to be a lot of unspeakable secrets, and even the little phoenix could see that something was wrong.
"I didn't propose to go to the prison to see my father, so Mr. Dai doesn't have to be embarrassed." Gu Changming put his hands behind his back casually, and he was light, "It's not that I don't trust Mr. Dai, but I'm not in a hurry about this matter." ”
Dai Mianshan was not in a hurry when he heard the three words, and the mask seemed to have cracked on his face: "Lao Gu is in the prison, I thought you would be anxious." ”
"May I ask Mr. Dai why does he think my father is in prison?" Gu Changming's words are very clever, not to be arrested and imprisoned, but to put them into words. Intentionally or unintentionally, it was pointed out that it was Gu Wuduo himself who had the intention of entering the heavenly prison to make this move.
"There's something in the prison that he wants to get, or someone he wants to see." Sometimes, an open topic is easier to lead to the other party's truth, "If he wants to see Sun Youxiang, then the wishful thinking may be wrong." Sun Youxiang is not in prison. ”
"How did Mr. Dai know that Sun Youxiang was not in prison?" Gu Changming's rhetorical question stopped Dai Mianshan.
His news comes from reliable sources around him, which is equivalent to knowing where Sun Youxiang is going on a line in the palace, such an official who has a lot of implications and may even subvert the dynasty is definitely not something that can be erased in a few words.
However, being seriously questioned by Gu Changming, Dai Mianshan couldn't help but wonder if the clues in his hand were reliable, after all, the other person was Gu Wuduo. Who Gu Wuduo is and what ability, these old courtiers know better than anyone else.
"Why are you telling me this?" Dai Mianshan was a little curious, after all, they were the father and son, even if Gu Changming was good friends with Guozi, at least he didn't have to rely on the news of betraying his father to strip him of his trust.
"I want to tell you that everybody is working on the case at hand. The involvement is too great, and the emperor has not ordered Sun Youxiang to be sentenced to death, presumably for the same reason. Gu Changming withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Dai Mianshan, "How easy it is to kill a Sun Youxiang, but it is even more difficult to lure out the people behind him." ”
"Who is behind him, do you know?" Dai Mianshan's eyes flashed, and he suddenly became excited.
"I really don't know about this." Gu Changming owed an apologetic debt, "Sun Youxiang is the most important chess piece sandwiched between the imperial court and Qi Kunmen, once he has an accident, the consequences will be unimaginable." If I can bear the brunt of the truth, I'm afraid I won't be able to stand here and talk to Mr. Dai. ”
Sometimes, knowing secrets that shouldn't be known is the easiest way to kill you.
"You see how clearly you say, I'm embarrassed to keep it hidden. If you want to go into the heavenly prison to see Gu Wuduo, it's not completely impossible, I can say that you are thirty percent sure. Dai Mianshan said very truthfully, "But once we miss, I'm afraid both of us will commit a big crime." ”
"As I said, it's not necessary yet. My father is in prison, and I am outside. He didn't leave me a word, which is the greatest trust in me, believing that I will not be tied up, and will inevitably move around. Because of his changes, it has created more opportunities for me. Gu Changming's eyes were soft, and this time he was looking at the little phoenix. Although the conversation between the two is quite earth-shattering, Little Phoenix has always listened tepidly, which is also one of her strengths.
After all, Dai Mianshan couldn't stay for a long time, and after confirming that Gu Changming would continue to stay in the Liu family, he admired his judgment and reaction ability even more: "I didn't expect that you could use Situ An as a shield, the people in the Criminal Division have been disturbed by him recently, I'm afraid that I will have to go around the bend when I see him, where do you dare to meet him head-on." It's only safe for you to stay there. ”
"If you have something, you can go over there and look for me. If I'm not there, it's the same with you telling Phoenix. Gu Changming understood Dai Mianshan's caution, "She is the same as me." ”
Dai Mianshan listened to him emphasize twice, and was a little surprised, Gu Changming raised the woman around him so high, he was really not afraid of accidents?
At the moment of cooperation, it was inconvenient for him to question, so he agreed, and said that he would continue to track down Xu Youcang's movements, so he hurried away.
"Phoenix, do you think Mr. Dai can be trusted?" Gu Changming didn't go to see the little phoenix, and asked directly.
"The fruit can be trusted, and I am willing to trust his father." Little Phoenix doesn't like Dai Mianshan, he has a gloomy smell, sometimes it reminds her of the days in Qi Kunmen, probably as he said, the dark guards are people who can't see the light, they may have another decent appearance, but in fact, the disguise is very painful.
"When the fruit hears your words, he will probably be moved to tears." Gu Changming went around outside, calculating that Situ An was about to lose his patience.
That is the big celebrity in front of the Queen Mother for more than ten years, although it is not a low voice, and he has lowered his posture recently. The door of this guest room is locked, and the clues found can be continuously sent in, and there is no reaction in the room, otherwise anyone can't help but want to push the door open to investigate.
Gu Changming used words to force Situ An into a corner first, making him feel that there was no way to retreat, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
The two jumped into the room from the window, Gu Changming poured tea from the teapot on the table and drank it, and Situ An's voice came from outside again. His gaze roughly swept under the crack in the door, there were at least six or seven pages of paper, and there was a faint anger in Situ An's tone, and he saw that he was about to explode.
Gu Changming casually swept up the papers and scattered them on the desktop at hand.
"Changming Gongzi, since you said that you want to cooperate with me, then at least show me a little sincerity, what does it mean to be silent like this! I will share all the clues I have found with you, could it be that you suspect that I am hiding! After Situ An said this, he became angry, raised his foot and kicked the door open, just opposite Gu Changming, who was sitting calmly in the room.
Gu Changming was silent and looked at him quietly.
Situ An struggled around in circles outside, confirming that Gu Changming was most likely not in the house, and his previous words were tantamount to emboldening himself before he dared to break in.
It turned out that his prediction was wrong, Gu Changming was not only in the house, but also seemed to be waiting for him to make this move, his face was gloomy.
"Master Changming, since you are in the house, why don't you answer a word for so long." As soon as Situ An saw that all the things sent in were spread out under Gu Changming's nose, he couldn't say anything about the questioning.
"I'm looking at these sent by Master Situ." Gu Changming doesn't look like he is moving, the more calm and unmoving he is, the more incomprehensible he is.
"The Liu family found a lot of fragmentary clues, and none of the houses that should be turned over were missed. You can rest assured, there is no valuable gold and silver left in the house, so if it is not eye-catching, my subordinates will not be able to do it. Under his deep gaze, Situ An said something involuntarily, "I asked someone to transcribe it and send it to you." ”
"I understand that these clues are the hard work of Lord Situ, so I read every word, hoping to see the clues, serve those people in a pot, and present them to Lord Situ." The corners of Gu Changming's mouth moved, revealing a look that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, "But Lord Situ is really in a hurry, and he can't afford to wait." ”
Situ An squinted at the door that was kicked by himself, and really wanted to hit the wall. He didn't understand what he was anxious about, which was tantamount to offending Gu Changming head-on. Now Gu Changming is the backbone of this place, if he runs away in a fit of anger and throws away the mess of the Liu family, how should he clean it up!
"Lord Situ, why don't I change the room, do you think it's feasible?" Gu Changming got up, raised his legs, and walked out, flowing in one go.
Where did Situ An dare to stop him, he couldn't wait to bow his head and follow behind, especially when he saw Gu Changming still holding those pages in his hand before leaving. What was written on the paper, he knew better than anyone else, there were no too useful clues, but Gu Changming caught the eight people handed over to him at the beginning, and two of them confessed some clues.
Waiting for Gu Changming to go to the guest room on the other side of the little phoenix and sit down, he lowered his head and glanced at the words on the paper again: "These are useless." ”
"What the hell is in the Liu family!" Situ An was sure that he had gotten on the thief ship, and it was difficult to ride a tiger, so he could only stubbornly hope that everything Gu Changming said was the truth.
"Something that is enough for Lord Situ to invite merit in front of the emperor." As soon as Gu Changming's fingers loosened, several pages fell one after another like butterflies with folded wings, "Definitely not these." ”
Situ An coughed twice to hide his embarrassment: "Why don't you remind me and my subordinates, where should I find these important evidence?" ”
"They're looking too, aren't they?" Gu Changming said that since he was able to pretend to be Liu Zhuxuan for so long, he would not believe that it was for the sake of the official position that could not be up or down, and some things could only be obtained by staying in the Liu family for a long time, "Didn't Lord Situ send someone to see what the person who pretended to be Liu Zhuxuan did during his appointment?" ”
