Chapter 55: The Imperial Capital at Night (Subscription Requested)
Although the air in the imperial capital is not good, it is also a good feeling to blow a cool night breeze at night.
Gu Xuan, who was walking on the eaves, relied on his perception and speed, as well as the concealment of Oberg's assassination technique. There was no way for the soldiers on patrol at night to discover him. Even Gu Xuan felt that except for the strong defenses of the imperial palace, it was difficult to break through, and in the other nobles of the imperial capital, he could come and go freely.
In the imperial capital, there are large villas of the nobility. It was also an area where nobles, merchants, and officials lived. One of the main roads in the centre is the brightly lit Prosperity Street, and some of the thriving industries extend into the slums. But in short, the lights of the imperial capital are absolutely polarized!
The east side is full of bustling and bright nightscapes, while the west side is only lonely and dark night, accompanied by a heavy and oppressive atmosphere.
Gu Xuan's purpose at night was to meet a Lan and then Aiji.
After this afternoon, the information will definitely reach many people's intelligence, and it is estimated that it will ferment the next day. And he didn't want to expose the relationship with Aiji and Lan as a hidden force.
During the secret conversation with Cyber in the room, he specifically asked where Lan lived, so he was not in a hurry along the way, and walked forward while observing the decline of the nobles.
Among the more than a dozen nobles, most of them have disgusting behaviors, and perhaps some nobles are a little more self-disciplined, but the viciousness still does not change.
Although Gu Xuan knew the depth of the decay of the imperial capital in the original book, he did not expect that the nobles of the imperial capital would be so completely corrupted, I am afraid that the so-called "nobles" of any family are bloodstained perverts.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Gu Xuan, he is not kind, nor benevolent, nor is he a self-proclaimed righteous actor. Just pursuing his own heart, looking at everything, and having his own sense of justice and compassion.
Because of what you see, light is born of the heart.
For what you see, all things are born.
In short, at present, Gu Xuan has no plans to attack the nobles, even if they are assassinated one by one, it is impossible to change the status quo of the nobles in the imperial capital. Only when the empire is overthrown, they no longer have superior power, then this is the moment when the glamorous nobles will die.
In the end, Gu Xuan came to the house where Lan lived, and after confirming that no one noticed him, he knocked on the door three times.
"Who is it?" An alert and familiar voice came from inside the room.
Gu Xuan smiled, remembering that when Ai Ji knocked on his door, he was also so alert. Whispered, "It's me." ”
There was no question of who I was, Lan recognized him from Gu Xuan's words for the first time, immediately opened the door, and asked happily, "Gu Xuan, when did you come to the imperial capital?" ”
Gu Xuan walked in and said the cause and effect of his coming to the imperial capital.
"That's how you and Captain Cyber met!"
"Well, I have now joined the Imperial Capital Garrison as a deputy captain."
"Congratulations." Lan sincerely congratulated.
Gu Xuan looked at Lan's room, it was very neat, he lit an oil lamp and was flipping through the books. After seeing the disgusting scene of the nobles just now, and then looking at what Lan did, it was really a clear stream in the imperial capital.
"How's it going?"
"It's not bad, my rank has been promoted by two ranks, but General Bud has specially met with me." Lan naturally knew what Gu Xuan meant.
When he first came to the imperial capital, he didn't expect Gu Xuan to leave him such a big surprise, and with the help of Cyber, he instantly gained a firm foothold. With his exquisite style of doing things, both the prestige of the conscience faction and the officials on the side of Minister Earnest now have a very good impression of him.
"That's good." With Lan's ability and conscience, in this decaying imperial capital, it is impossible for General Bude to ignore it, and it will also help him move to a higher position.
"The imperial capital is really sickly prosperous!" Lan took out the brewed tea and sighed and shared what he had seen and heard with Gu Xuan. The more he participated in the imperial capital, the more he could feel the sickly darkness of the imperial capital.
The two hadn't seen each other for a long time and had a good conversation. However, Gu Xuan didn't tell him about his plans, but only encouraged Lan to take power to change the decay of the imperial capital.
After all, overthrowing the rule of the empire was too shocking for Lan. Lan's ideas and aspirations were only changed from within the empire with politics. But Gu Xuan knew that with the faint monarch of the little emperor, Lan's ambition was completely a fool's dream.
How can the mud be propped up to the wall! So when the time was ripe, Gu Xuan planned to tell Lan about his plan. That is a coup d'état from within, or a military coup d'état!! Kill Earnest in one fell swoop and completely overthrow the rule of the little emperor and even the empire.
Then Gu Xuan left in the night, he did not return to the hotel, but came to a wild and uninhabited clearing in the slum. Then I took out the [Contact Letter] from the storage space.
Holding it in your hand, after ten seconds, the letter automatically incinerates into ashes. At the same time, Gu Xuan keenly sensed a sense of connection, and after waiting for a while, a certain figure appeared in the clearing, and this sense of connection dissipated.
"Long time no see, Agey." In the middle of the night, the breeze was blowing, and Gu Xuan leaned on the stone piers everywhere, staring at Ai Ji, who was also the messenger of the Lord God, under the stars looming in the night.
"Long time no see."
"I solved a messenger of the Lord God in the mausoleum." Gu Xuan didn't rush to ask for information, but revealed the news.
Sure enough, Edge's pupils contracted and he fell into deep thought. Without doubt, he watched Gu Xuan keenly perceive his changes. Ai Ji was surprised to find that he didn't dare to guarantee to defeat Gu Xuan with all his strength now, during this time he also gained a lot of good things through the status of the Rakshasa Four Ghosts, and now it seems that Gu Xuan's trip to the mausoleum has gained a lot.
When Gu Xuan said the news, he would properly show his strength and make the alliance between the two more stable.
"Here's evidence of some dirty deals that I've been on my radar." Ai Ji broke the silence first, took out the materials he was carrying, and handed them to Gu Xuan.
Gu Xuan took some of the evidence given by Ai Ji and looked through it, most of it was corruption of transaction bills.
"Minister Earnest has no assassination plans yet."
Gu Xuan frowned in surprise, and then asked Ai Ji specifically.
Ernest has not been in office for a long time, so he is still doing everything possible to degrade the little emperor, and fully trusts him to become his puppet. At the same time, some of his relatives and other cronies were installed to occupy official positions in the court.
Aside from a few completely nailed officials of conscience, Earnest has no spare time to focus exclusively on officials of conscience. That just gave Gu Xuan a buffer period, after all, he didn't have the manpower to protect those conscientious officials now.
So Gu Xuan looked through the information intently, most of them were corrupt transactions, and Gu Xuan's plan for the source of money, the fastest way was to start with these corrupt guys.
Evidence of these dirty deals, almost apart from corruption, is the transaction history of human trafficking.
Suddenly, Gu Xuan playfully saw two familiar names. One is the Oka who he took to Liwei today, and the other is a famous oil merchant in the imperial capital: Jamal.
The two seem to be Jamal bribing Oka with a lot of money, and then borrowing the power of the Imperial Capital Garrison to do lawless evil deeds. For example, Jamal's competitors were arrested one by one and sentenced to death in the imperial capital for no reason.
Oil merchants are already a very profitable industry, and Gu Xuan couldn't help but be stunned just by that long share of transactions. I'm afraid that the home of the oil merchant Jamal is not built of bricks, but completely made of gold bricks!
Gu Xuan decided that the next plan to make money was to solve the oil merchant Gamal.
Subsequently, Gu Xuan and Ai Ji left separately.
After all, Gu Xuan had just become the deputy captain, and it would take a while to control the imperial capital garrison. During this time, it is good to investigate the habits and residence of the oil merchant Jamal!
