Li Qinzai and Gu Chengzhang are very clear that the matter of the popular uprising cannot be easily revealed.

The civil revolt has subsided, but the matter is not over.

The imperial court must be able to track down, and there will definitely be many heads on the ground, and it is not ordinary people who want to kill, but the masterminds behind all this.

Today, the people's rebellion has just been quelled, Li Sujie and Xue Rengui led the army back to the camp, although Li Qinzai didn't say anything, but Gu Chengzhang knew very well that this matter of Wu County Gu couldn't be cleaned, that is to say, the Gu family was about to be in trouble.

So this is why Gu Chengzhang came to the handsome tent in the middle of the night and launched the move of a child of the clan to take the blame without any restraint.

Li Qinzai was amazed by Gu Chengzhang's discipline, people can be shameless to this extent, compared to him, Li Qinzai feels that he is simply a saint with high morals.

After rejecting Gu Chengzhang in an indifferent tone, there was a long silence outside the handsome tent.

Just when Li Qinzai thought that the other party had left in a huff, who knew that Feng Su quietly walked into the handsome tent, stood in front of him and whispered: "Fifth young man, that Gu family master is unwilling to leave, and the person is still kneeling outside the tent." ”

Li Qinzai was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth hooked: "Kneeling outside the tent? ”

"Yes, the head of the Gu family has been kneeling since he arrived outside the tent, and he was also kneeling when he talked to you across the curtain just now."

Li Qinzai said leisurely: "It seems that this family master is already very scared. ”

The Zhu family of Wujun was wiped out by Li Qinzai after a little mistake, not to mention that the Gu family secretly instigated the instigation of the people behind his back, compared with the two, it is reasonable and legal for the Gu family to behead all over the house, no wonder Gu Chengzhang is so scared tonight.

After Feng Su finished speaking, he stood in the tent and quietly waited for Li Qinzai's orders.

Li Qinzai pondered for a long time, and finally got up and walked outside the handsome tent.

There were a few torches standing at the door outside the tent, and in the dim light, Gu Chengzhang's body was rickety, and his knees were kneeling very upright in front of the tent.

Seeing that Li Qinzai finally came out, Gu Chengzhang was overjoyed, hurriedly touched the ground with his head, and said in a trembling voice: "The Gu family is not a small child for a while, but the Gu family is innocent, please don't make Zhu Lian." ”

Li Qinzai watched him quietly, and after a long time, he walked up to Gu Chengzhang and squatted down, making eye contact with him.

"Master Gu, what is the nature of inciting the people's uprising, you should know better than me, this matter is too serious, and it is not possible to expose it by launching one or two substitute ghosts."

Of course, Gu Chengzhang knows very well what the nature of inciting a civil uprising is, and it is the same as rebellion, which is a crime of beheading.

At the beginning, Gu Chengzhang dared to incite the people's rebellion because he knew that as long as he attacked Li Qinzai's weakness, the Jiangnan Wang clan would be able to escape this catastrophe.

If everything goes according to Gu Chengzhang's plan, Li Qinzai may have been recalled to Chang'an, and the black pot of the people's rebellion will be impartially buckled on Li Qinzai's head.

However, Li Sujie's speed of quelling the civil uprising was too fast, and Xue Rengui led his troops to encircle it quickly, and more importantly, the Jiangnan Wang clan's connections in the Chang'an court have been launched for a long time, and countless impeachment notes have been handed over, and the court has been in an uproar.

But until today, the Son of Heaven has not recalled Li Qinzai, so it can be seen that something must have happened in Chang'an City, causing Gu Chengzhang's original plan to deviate from the predetermined direction.

To put it simply, success and defeat, that's all.

So at this moment tonight, the desperate Gu Chengzhang knelt outside the tent as a loser, he knew what the Wujun Gu clan was about to face next, as the head of the family, he could only do his last effort to save the fate of his clansmen.

"Li Jun Gong Mingjian, Wu County Gu is willing to take out 300,000 acres of land under his name, unconditionally send it to the imperial court to confiscate, and from now on, Wu County Gu is only the first son of heaven to look forward to help Li County Gong clean up the land in the south of the Yangtze River, the Son of Heaven and the court can not do it, it is inconvenient to do things, Gu is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses."

"In addition, the Gu family is willing to give the treasures of the clan to the Duke of Li County."

"Gu is willing to swear to the sky, the Gu clan will never rebel against the Tang Dynasty for generations, and send ten sons and grandsons of the long house to Chang'an as hostages, if the Gu family violates the oath, the son of heaven can behead the Gu family's sons-in-law!"

"Li Jungong, it is more advantageous to keep the Gu family alive than to copy and behead the Gu family."

Gu Chengzhang made conditions again.

Li Qinzai was silent and looked at him deeply.

I have to say that the conditions are ruthless enough, and it can be regarded as surviving with a broken arm.

In order for the family to survive, he can decisively pay a heavy price, as the head of the Wang family, Gu Chengzhang is undoubtedly qualified.

However, these conditions were useless in front of Li Qinzai.

At the moment when the Jiangning Civil Revolution happened, no one could save the Gu family of Wu County, not even Li Zhi.

"Master Gu, the night is cold and cold, please go back." Li Qinzai sighed.

Gu Chengzhang trembled, and his eyes were completely desperate.

He understood the meaning of Li Qinzai's words.

Looking up at the dark sky, Gu Chengzhang grinned.

At this age, of course, you have already learned to pay for your actions.

The lives of the whole clan were staked by him on the gambling table, but unfortunately, this time the Gu family made a mistake and lost the bet.

"Multi-...... Thank you Li Jungong, Gu understood. ”

In an instant, Gu Chengzhang seemed to be dozens of years old, got up and leaned on his body, and left in despair.

Li Qinzai watched him leave, and the resolute meaning in his eyes never changed.

He could not show the slightest sympathy for this failed old man.

Think of the peasant households in the south of the Yangtze River who lost their land, who had no food to eat and became homeless serfs, and the government military system that was almost collapsed by the scourge of the wang clan......

The family's selfish desires are difficult to fill, but they have quietly hollowed out the corners of the community, what is there to sympathize with?

Half an hour later, there was a sudden sound of a rapid gong in the camp.

The sleeping soldiers in the camp got up one after another, put on their armor, and rushed out of the camp tent with their weapons.

But I heard the soldiers patrolling at night say that Gu Chengzhang, the head of the Gu family in Wu County, jumped into Taihu Lake just now, and the soldiers patrolling outside the camp heard the sound of water and hurriedly checked, but they couldn't find any trace for a long time, and it wasn't until half an hour later that Gu Chengzhang's body surfaced and was salvaged by the soldiers.

The rest of the family heads who came out in their clothes were shocked, and hurriedly rushed to the Taihu Lake outside the camp, and after seeing Gu Chengzhang's corpse with their own eyes, the family heads dared to believe it.

After whispering a few words, the heads of the family inadvertently turned their heads, and suddenly found that not far from the crowd, Li Qinzai stood expressionlessly, and after a long time, he left silently under the escort of the tribe.

The heads of the house were silent for a long time, and their expressions suddenly became less shocked.

Who did the Jiangning civil uprising, everyone knows in their hearts, what is the attitude of Li Jungong and the imperial court towards the civil rebellion, the heads of the family know better.

In such a situation, the Gu family of Wujun has no physiology, and it is reasonable for Gu Chengzhang to commit suicide by jumping into the lake.

If anyone is in such a desperate situation, what can they do but die?

Early the next morning.

The heads of the six noble clans gathered in the Shuai tent, but only King Teng presided over the negotiation in the Shuai tent, and Li Qin was nowhere to be found.

While the six noble clans were negotiating with the imperial court, Xue Rengui led his troops to 5,000 and suddenly left the camp.

In the afternoon, an expected piece of news reached the camp.

The Gu clan of Wu County, instigating the rebellion of the people in Jiangning, the evidence is conclusive, the crime is unforgivable, and the people are all punished.
