The person Gu Changming saw was not a connection left by his father, but an accidental acquaintance he met during an investigation. Later, they teamed up to solve two small cases, and gradually understood, this person could intersect.
He originally intended to be tempted, but the news that Fang Yuan brought back was actually very useful. Since Wu Wei personally intervened in Sun Youxiang's case, it doesn't matter which layer of relationship is entrusted in the Criminal Division, and which person is involved.
However, where are the idle people in the Criminal Division? When he met and broke up with the man, the man stopped him, and asked with a bend of his eyebrows: "Changming Gongzi has never done inaction, presumably there are some cases in the Criminal Division that have made you pay attention recently." ”
Gu Changming still looked at people with a blank face, neither admitting nor denying it.
The man was interested, tilted his head and looked at his expression carefully, as if trying to see the flaw in an instant: "Let me think about what kind of unique case has been there lately that can make you so interested." To say that the wind and rain are smooth, the recent weather in Kaifeng Mansion is really good. ”
Gu Changming didn't talk, but took back the long legs that had already stepped out. Sit down in your place and make yourself a cup of tea. From his point of view, the other party was only slightly older than Dai Guozi, and the narrowness in his eyes was the same.
When the other party saw his posture, it was clear that he let go of his hand and guessed for himself. didn't dare to make a mistake at the moment, let alone laugh at the case, Zhengse considered it and said: "There is nothing else, it's just that the Lord Wu of our company has locked himself up with a suspect for the past two days." Originally, my colleagues were very interested in seeing their bosses take action in person, and some people made bets, how many hours can the other party last? ”
Gu Changming picked up the teacup and drank it himself. He is too calm, and the other party will be a little worried in his heart, and he is not sure how much he knows.
"It's funny, that person didn't say a word for a few hours, he didn't say a word in two days, but when Lord Wu finished work every day, he was so tired that he didn't look like a man." The man squeezed his eyes at Gu Changming, "If you want to inquire about this, I have no way to help." This refreshment is equivalent to your free invitation. ”
"You can ask for anything without asking." Gu Changming put down the teacup, without half a point of reluctance. He understands the rules of the Criminal Division better than anyone else, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't say what you shouldn't say. Otherwise, most of them will be killed.
"I don't like to hear you say that. It's not that I don't want to help you, I haven't seen who that person is inside. The man suddenly gestured with his hand, "Three, understood?" ”
Gu Changming could naturally see that a suspect who hadn't even seen a shadow had already dragged three people in the Criminal Department into the water. There should be someone from Xiaohulu here, in other words, there are other forces who are also inquiring about Sun Youxiang's case.
"Except for this person's identity and origin, other things, you go back and think about it, tomorrow and this time, I will invite you back." It was rare for that person to see Gu Changming speechless aggrieved, his heart was extremely comfortable, and when he left, he was almost singing a minor key.
Gu Changming came as promised, what he wanted to ask was already on his lips, and it was indeed Su Xu. Su Xu was obviously prepared, and rushed in his direction, headlessly.
"How are you?" Gu Changming was polite, he didn't say bluntly that you shouldn't come to this place, let alone come to mix! finally became a celebrity in the eyes of the emperor, no matter how he counted, his status was much more stable and solid than Liu Zhuxuan, why didn't he have a long memory.
"You came back from Shangjing, and you never came to see me!" Su Xu was more anxious than him, and his fingers were about to poke the tip of Gu Changming's nose, "Aren't you looking like you're paying for it, where is the tea in this place comparable to Bai Leju!" ”
Gu Changming saw that his face changed faster than flipping through a book, and suddenly realized that there were people around him who were spying on them, and there were at least four or five people. When he came in, these people were already in different seats, and maybe it was quite close to the Criminal Division, and even if he had seen one or two faces, he didn't care too much.
"Let's go, Bai Leju goes, it's so noisy here that people are not in the mood to talk." Su Xu tugged at his sleeve and walked out, and no one stopped them on the left and right.
"How the hell did you get here!" Gu Changming grabbed Su Xu's wrist with his backhand, "What about others?" ”
"He can't get out, but he's just a little disgusted, as long as he stays honestly in the Criminal Division today, there will be no trouble in the future." Su Xu shouted how good Bai Leju's tea was, immediately lowered his voice and said a few more words, and then shouted that Bai Leju also has a new hibiscus mille-feuille, which tastes first-class.
"If you shout a few more words, you don't need to mention that the people from the Criminal Division will arrest you, the shopkeeper in this store can come out and kick people." Gu Changming saw that he was acting hard, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead, "He must be fine?" ”
"It's okay, I can come here, what can he do. He was also bold, and when he saw that I happened to be at the Criminal Division, he grabbed me and stuffed a note for me, and I understood it at a glance, so I hurried over to you. Su Xu saw Gu Changming looking straight at him, "The note has already been destroyed, how can I keep such obvious evidence?" ”
"What are you going to do in the Criminal Division!" Gu Changming originally wanted to act alone, but the people around him seemed to be snowballing, and the more they rolled, the bigger they became.
"Go and convey the emperor's message." Su Xu rolled his eyes, "It was originally Zhao's father-in-law's business, but he suddenly said that his stomach hurt like a knife, and I happened to be in front of the emperor again." The ghost sent the gods, I actually took the matter down and went directly to the criminal department in the car. ”
"The emperor's message has something to do with what I'm inquiring about, right?" Gu Changming didn't know whether to say that God favored him, or whether it was too much of a coincidence. This step by step, knowing that if someone is circling it, it may not be arranged, so I will see the stitches and insert the needle, but I just close it.
"Whether it has anything to do with you, I don't know. Anyway, the emperor's dictation said that the case was serious, and the deadline could be graced for another two days, and it was finally set for the sixth day of the next month. There are still nine days to go. Su Xu asked rhetorically, "The emperor's brainless words, Lord Wu actually understood it, and thanked him again and again." He also said that he wanted to leave me to eat in the criminal department, and the smell of blood in that room was so hot that I could eat anything, so I quickly ran out. ”
Gu Changming took a deep breath, people are not as good as heaven, and the answers he wants are all here: "Thank you for coming over to help me get out, when I came back from Liao, I dealt with a lot of things non-stop, and I ran in front of the emperor twice, and I didn't have any free time at all." ”
"Is that girl from the Liu family okay?" Su Xu didn't mean to continue to calculate, he was just acting just now. Anyway, the court knew that Su Xu was also Gu Wuduo's disciple, and he had always been good friends with Gu Changming. The two disagreed, and it was reasonable to fight for red faces.
"It's okay, the emperor gave her everything he promised her. She doesn't have to worry about living in the future, she can go wherever she wants, and she can get married and have children if she wants. Gu Changming saw that Su Xu could listen to this with relish, "You should know what happened to Miss Liu before!" ”
"It's not the emperor who treats her...... Thinking about it, it's not appropriate, but I'm still willing to let go. Su Xu really wanted to be crooked, "Of course it's best to be able to give her back her freedom." ”
Gu Changming didn't want to explain too much: "There is nothing at all, it is that Miss Liu's previous engagement was not successful, and she provoked a big shot, and she needs the emperor's shadow to save the day." ”
Su Xu didn't show any embarrassment on his face: "Her father was the Shaoyin of Kaifeng Mansion before his death, so he can't afford to offend, most of them are relatives of the emperor." However, I think Miss Liu looks very thoughtful, and her martial arts are from a famous family. The matter of the three princesses and relatives was done very properly, and the emperor praised it twice, saying that Liao Shengzong had passed two letters from the princess one after another, and only said that Qin Se and Ming were very affectionate. ”
Liao Shengzong used the strategy of borrowing a knife to kill people, and carried out a great purge of the various forces around him, and the third princess must of course be counted as a credit. Moreover, the princess of the Great Song Dynasty represents the strength of the Song Kingdom, and such a beautiful woman marries into the palace, even if the queen of the Liao Kingdom is pregnant, she no longer dares to act rashly.
"If you want me to say, Liao Shengzong looks more willing to be friendly than us, and the third princess is blessed." Su Xu personally arranged the item-by-item matters of the affinity, and had a good impression of the third princess in his heart, hoping that she would not be wronged.
Gu Changming lowered his head and sneered, how good the Liao Holy Sect's wishful thinking was. In the Shangjing Imperial Palace, without spending a single soldier, it took a princess of the Great Song Dynasty to suppress the powerful Xiao family, and as far as the eye can see, I am afraid that the Liao Kingdom will not be able to find such a suitable candidate.
"Is it because you didn't come to me because you did such a good errand, and the emperor didn't have the slightest reward, and you complained in your heart, even I was counted together?" The more Su Xu thought about it, the more wrong it became, "In terms of rewards for meritorious deeds, even Miss Liu can be rewarded, why don't you have anything?" ”
Gu Changming didn't say anything, but instead of rewarding him, he was almost caught in the trap designed by the emperor, and he was almost planted in his own hands.
Although Su Xu was more informal in front of him, they really knew each other. He observed Gu Changming's expression all the way, and finally saw the clue: "What are you hiding from me?" If you don't say it, believe it or not, I can ask the emperor! ”
"Please take care of yourself." Gu Changming also didn't understand, Su Xu was in front of the emperor in the court, he was a young and steady good official, how could he become unreasonable and arrogant in front of him. Anyway, he has never been used to anyone, Su Xu has a temper, and he has no reason to let him go. One turned around and left Su Xu hanging in place.
Su Xuman thought that he had helped Gu Changming so much just now, and he had to give him some face, but he reacted when he saw that everyone was far away, and hurriedly chased after him. However, Gu Changming was tall and long-legged, and his steps were steady, and when he finally caught up, he was already out of breath, and grabbed Gu Changming's arm with one hand and panted: "I haven't finished my words, just leave whatever you say." ”
"You're not going to ask the emperor, what else do I have to do?" Gu Changming never made it bad before, and the one who was close to ink was black, this trick was learned from the fruit, and the unreasonable person first used crooked reasoning to suppress the other party.
Sure enough, Su Xu didn't react to Gu Changming's tone, and said in a daze: "I won't really ask the emperor, don't you know?" ”
"I didn't hide anything from you, escorting the third princess and his relatives, there has never been a stop to big and small things along the way, there are definitely not so many coincidences, especially when I come back and think about it, it is a dangerous obstacle specially arranged by someone." Gu Changming still didn't say Xiao Zheng's words, he was afraid that Su Xu would get into trouble after hearing it.
"Then didn't you also turn evil into good fortune and come back all the way?" Su Xu was afraid that he wouldn't give him face again, so he quickly softened his tone, "Stand here with a good look, everything else doesn't matter." ”
"How much do you know about the person Wu Wei is investigating?" Gu Changming observed that there were absolutely no monitors around, so he simply pushed open the window to Su Xu and said something bright.
