Chapter 133: Return to Beijing Tomorrow
"If the emperor says so, as a courtier, he doesn't dare to refuse, but I don't know what His Royal Highness means?" An Ming returned indifferently, indeed he didn't have any thoughts in his heart at this time, if the emperor arranged everything properly, he would have the most appropriate way to deal with it.
The gentleness in Mu Tianxing's expression was still the same, but he showed the same appearance as a student, and it seemed that in front of the people in front of him, his remarks still lacked some skills. The things that were not revealed in his eyes gradually had an outline, and he knew that Prime Minister An had already understood what his father meant, and that was it, today's trip was worth it. What's more important is that perhaps Prime Minister An has already understood very well, since when has his father been on guard against him.
"It's also according to my father's intentions, but this palace wants to let Jian Huaile and An Cheng meet each other, so maybe it's better...... Of course, it depends on Prime Minister An's meaning. "If this is the idea of the Third Highness, it can be regarded as a compromise method, the worry on An Ming's face is not obvious, but there is still a thought in his heart, this side ...... I'm afraid it's not that easy to talk to.
An Ming didn't answer immediately for a while, but finally nodded, today's discussion did not talk about the most important things, but these things that seemed to be not cared about by the other party occupied the main content, the relationship between the Third Highness and the young man of the Jian family Needless to say, it is that at the moment, maybe the Jian family and the Third Highness also have some kind of connection.
Tiancheng County Yamen
Gu Qiyan looked at the letter on the table, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, but what was more obvious was the deep thought and hesitation, and the person standing opposite was the person who brought the family letter, and looked at the person in front of him who was not fake, the handwriting of Lian Qi in the letter was true, but at this time, how could the old man's always healthy body suddenly feel cold That is, the person was sick in bed, and Lian Qi did not have any hint in the letter, it seems that if this letter was not written in front of the old man, it was that Lian Qi and the old man had negotiated some conditions, and wanted to put him" Trick back to the "capital."
His assassination in Tiancheng County naturally caused a reaction in the court, and it was in the Gu family...... Old man Gu probably thought more, the capital is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, if it is really aimed at him, the Gu family is also a relatively safe place, if it is aimed at him sitting in this position, it is not so easy to be assassinated in the capital.
As for the word "deception", it is still because of the clues revealed by the people in front of him, if it is really something in the Gu family, it must be Gu Lianqi who sent someone over, Old Man Gu's trick has been used since he was small, although he was fooled every time, but this time it ...... It is true that the situation is somewhat peculiar.
If he returns to Beijing, he must report this matter to the emperor, and now he is a person in official uniform, and his words and deeds are monitored by the capital, and once he returns to Beijing, the emperor will probably summon him, so as to attract the emperor's attention to the Gu family, but the Gu family gradually withdrew from the concerned team under the arrangement of the old man, and the old man called him back for only one reason...... The Gu family has been targeted.
He wanted to understand that if it was because of his identity in Tiancheng County, those killers were capable enough to put him to death at that time, and killing a court official should not be a big deal for these people, but the Gu family was too involved in the case of King Jiang An back then, if you think about it carefully, the Gu family may be able to come up with a piece of evidence to prove the truth of the year, and the people behind the scenes who assigned these killers may still take care of the Gu family, so they are still merciful to him as the county commander of Tiancheng County.
"Fuzhong invited Dr. Ning to go?" Gu Qiyan's gaze moved away from the letter, and he glanced at the person in front of him with a faint gaze.
"Second Master Gu invited Dr. Ning to the house early in the morning to see a doctor for the head of the family, saying that the head of the family was depressed, and the heart disease still needed heart medicine, and Dr. Ning also suggested that he should ask the son to go back to the house, and his subordinates immediately rushed over." As if he was still afraid that the current people would not believe it, the person who sent the letter added another sentence, "Second Master Gu said that if the son is suspicious, you might as well look at the seal at the bottom of the letter, this letter was written by him himself." ”
Gu Qiyan didn't make a sound, he saw the seal at the bottom of the letter at a glance just now, it was indeed the seal used in Lianqi's business, this thing Old Man Gu has always disliked very much, and Lianqi is not easy to take out, it seems that ...... It's that he thinks too much.
After thinking about it, my heart suddenly became anxious, in fact, no matter what the facts were...... He should go back to Beijing, he has been influenced by the Gu family's family style for many years, and the word filial piety must not be lost.
"Is the head of the family's condition under control?" At this time, Gu Qiyan had already gotten up and took the pen and paper on the side, first to tell the emperor the situation truthfully, and then Tiancheng County still had to arrange some things properly, and he was afraid that it would be a few days before he returned to Beijing this time.
"You go back to Beijing first, and I'll leave for my home tomorrow, and if I can catch it, I can still touch it." Gu Qiyan didn't wait for the answer of the person in front of him, and then said these words, there are still some things to deal with in the next day, since Lian Qi has returned to the Gu family, the old man's condition should be improved.
The person in front of him nodded and left.
Gu Qiyan's gentle expression carried some other emotions and returned to Beijing...... originally thought that he would not be able to return to the capital after three years, but he didn't know what changes had happened to the Gu family in the past six months, and he vaguely felt that the old man would use this as an excuse to advance his marriage with Miss Hua, if this was the case...... There is some sadness in people's eyes, as if they have glimpsed the joys and sorrows of their youth at this time, and the dim gaze is only for a moment, and it gradually becomes clear, in fact, there is no difference, and the matter of starting a family and starting a business is also at this age.
The Gu family in the capital
Gu Lianqi's standing posture was a little strange, and there was a bit of resentment in his expression, and the eyes that looked at the people on the seat were a little concealed and speculative, but he didn't expect that the old man would be so ruthless, these twenty canes down, if it weren't for his good foundation, it is estimated that he would be lying on the bed at this time.
The old man on the seat squinted one eye as if he was dozing off, but Gu Lianqi was very clear, the person in front of him was just waiting for him to speak, he didn't expect the head of the family to go to the restaurant to catch him back, hasn't the old man always loved face? In this way, everyone in the capital knows where to put his second master's face, that is, he returned to the mansion and punished these boards according to the family rules, and the people in front of him still want to hear him admit his mistake in person, but he really doesn't know where he is wrong.
The back was really hot and painful, Gu Lianqi just wanted to sit down, but a sharp gaze looked over, his movements froze there, slowly turned around and looked over, the moment he looked at his grandfather, the old man's eyes were full of sharp light, Gu Lianqi's heart trembled, sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy!
"Still not admitted?" The old man's old voice was not majestic, but his eyes that were still squinting seemed to be watching the reaction of the person in front of him, and at this time, Gu Lianqi was a little distracted and thinking about things, but he didn't see the essence of the old man's eyes.
"Grandpa, my grandson is just greedy for a few days of wine, how can I do anything wrong......" Gu Lianqi's soft tone at this time was not at all like the silent person just now, the smile in his expression was a little flattering, and then said: "Grandpa asked me to trick my cousin back to the capital, didn't this make me a villain?" The tail note in the voice also has a bit of tentative meaning.
The old man's face suddenly became serious, as if he was facing something important, and a sigh appeared on his face full of traces left by time, but the words he said were still very tough.
"How can you be sure that this kid Qiyan will go home when he sees the letter, if your method is useless, this curfew punishment is still inevitable." The old man said seriously, but the listener tilted his head slightly, and seemed to disagree with the words of the old man in front of him.
"Grandpa can't cross the river and tear down the bridge, the letter is sent out, my cousin will definitely come back, and grandpa promised his grandson what he promised." Gu Lianqi seemed to be persuading him bitterly, but the two people in the room also knew that if it weren't for his letter, even if the cousin knew that he had been deceived back, he would have set off to return to Beijing.
"If Qiyan comes back, you will probably have to explain it to him." The old man said this very indifferently, Gu Lianqi, who was standing on the side, almost held on to the chair next to him because he couldn't stand steadily, he looked at his grandfather seriously, the old man's face was calm, and he didn't seem to have any objection to what he said just now, the corners of Gu Lianqi's mouth twitched a little, this was not all planned by the old man, how could it all be his reason.
"If grandpa is afraid that his cousin will be angry, don't mention the marriage......"
"Now that my cousin is in charge of the county order, I need to go to the emperor to return to Beijing, and I will arrive in Beijing tomorrow at the earliest. Gu Lianqi already had the intention of getting up and leaving, and the old man on the seat looked at him silently, and a sadness suddenly flashed on the old man's face, and he sighed unconsciously.
Gu Lianqi paused, and subconsciously gritted his teeth, this grandfather is becoming more and more shrewd.
"Grandpa don't worry, grandpa will explain." The person who turned back replied a little unwillingly, Gu Lianqi looked at the person in front of him with a calm look on his face, knowing that he still couldn't fight......
It's a big deal to be snubbed by my cousin for a few days, and I won't ignore him after all.
Gu Lianqi went out, and there were still people left in their seats behind him, and there was indeed sadness in his expression, the Gu family could not be completely in decline when it came to them, although Qiyan was assassinated in Tiancheng County, although the court did not give an explanation, but he vaguely felt the situation in his heart, if it was really the villain of the court, Qiyan might not be able to come back alive, and in addition to the identity of the county commander of Tiancheng County, the people of the Gu family ...... It's also an important reason.
