"Did you hear that? There is a demon living in the palace, that is, the King of Jingyang, I heard that he charmed His Majesty so much that he ignored the government, and he has not been to the court for a month, and now all the political affairs are supported by Lord Xiangguo and the six Shangshu! ”

"Your Majesty hasn't been to court for more than half a year before, just to have fun with this Gu Lan in the world, and he doesn't even care about national affairs... This Gu Lan bewitched the king, it was really a harm to Dajing! ”

"That's right, with this person, the Great Yasukuni will not be a country!"

“......”

Rumors are spreading, but not everyone believes it, there are still many people who put forward different opinions, most of them were helped by Gu Lan before, and rescued their daughter.

"It won't be, will it? I heard that Master Gu Lan Gu is the minister who exposed the truth about the flower thief case in the past, and it is not as outrageous as you say..."

"Yes, I don't know anything else, anyway, life is getting better and better now."

“...”

The rest of the people were dismissive: "You know a fart!" Now life is better, it is because His Majesty distributed the magic rice. But this good life won't last long, hmph, because that King Jingyang has already admonished His Majesty, because the magic rice harvest has increased, and the tax revenue in the future will increase tenfold! ”

"What? Ten times more! The people in the neighborhood were stunned and exclaimed, "Isn't this our life?" ”

"If this policy is really implemented, I will be in danger!"

"I don't share the sky with that little white face!"

“...”

The news circulated among the people and soon attracted the attention of people with good intentions...... You must know that in this capital overlooked by the Dajing Imperial Court, the most well-informed person is not Wu Fan, nor Luo Chen, but a woman!

Concubine Xiao hid in the Qinglou, originally as the eyes and ears of the empress, to find out the news.

Now.

She received the news from the eyeliner below, and her brows furrowed slightly: "This guy is really capable... But as much praise as you have to bear, you have to endure as much slander as you have to endure, this is the eternal truth of the world..."

complained and complained, she still dutifully presented the collected news to Mu Yuyan.

"What?"

In the palace city, Mu Yuyan's phoenix eyes were slightly cold, and he was a little incredulous for the first time.

Obviously, it was Gu Lan's invention of the magic rice and the waterwheel, and the agricultural reform proposed by him, this kind of minister who benefits the country and the people, even if he doesn't care about his personal feelings, he can't be wronged like this!

And to raise taxes?

Empress of the Heavens, do you lack your little food?

After all, they still overestimate the ability of the people to discern things, and they still can't do it!

Concubine Xiao was taken aback by the empress's attitude, but she still reported it truthfully: "Most of these people are hiding in the tavern and teahouse, spreading rumors wildly, the people are ignorant, and many people believe it." The current situation is extremely unfavorable to Gu Gongzi. ”

"Humph! No matter how unfavorable it is, it can't be ignored. ”

Mu Yuyan also knows that in the current situation, anger can't change the ending, and he must take out an iron fist to rectify it.

"Xiao Xi, you lead the Hanging Heaven Division to search for the people who spread rumors in the capital, one of them is arrested, and all of them are arrested and interrogated! I want to see who is behind it. ”

You don't have to think about it to know that this kind of large-scale gossip spread must be driven by someone behind it.

"Yes!"

Liu Yexi also knew the seriousness of the matter, and immediately retired.

Her face was also full of anger, she knew the love between His Majesty and Gongzi all the way, where could she tolerate the malicious destruction of others?

What's more, it is clear that it was Gongzi who reformed agriculture to let the people have a bumper harvest, why do these people not know the hearts of good people and bite back?

The flying fish suit came out, and the streets and alleys of the entire capital were full of secret agents, and the wind and rain in the city roared in the suspicious eyes of the people!

...

"General, what are we going to do now? Looking at the appearance of the Hanging Heaven Division, it is obvious that he is serious, and some people in my house have been arrested. ”

Wu Fan also frowned, and the two met again in the conference hall, for the sake of Gu Lan's business.

This time the rumors were spread and the effect was quite good at first, but the reaction from the empress's side was very fast and unexpectedly strong, and she immediately sent the Hanging Heaven Division to arrest them on a large scale, and in this case, the rumors were quickly stopped!

It means that they spend a lot of money, but they do useless work, and there is even a risk of exposure!

Wu Fan is already a fugitive, if Luo Chen is also seized here, I'm afraid it will be difficult for both of them to escape.

"Have you ever been caught by the tail? Your subordinates won't give us up, will they? He asked, a little worried.

Luo Chen also frowned and thought for a while, and then said affirmatively: "No, I arranged for my henchmen to go down to do this, and the people who were arrested were only randomly selected to participate in this matter, and they didn't know that I was the one behind the scenes, of course it was impossible to confess me." ”

Wu Fan nodded, it's good that there is no risk of exposure: "It's okay if you're smart, it's good that you're not caught." They searched for a while, and at most they could only catch some shrimp soldiers and crab generals, which had little to do with us. ”

"But our plan still failed, although Gu Lan's reputation has been affected somewhat, but the court will remedy it afterwards. Moreover, Your Majesty is really moving this time, and when the Hanging Heaven Division is fully mobilized, there is no way for us to continue to spread rumors, otherwise we will be caught in the net. ”

Luo Chen's face flashed a trace of hideousness, he couldn't understand why Gu Lan, a little white face, could be so valued by His Majesty, and he actually transferred the entire Hanging Heaven Division to refute the rumors for him!

Of course, there is a hint of vigilance...... Is this guy so valued because he is so good-looking?

Wu Fan also fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he said: "It's not okay to spread rumors now, it's too risky to commit crimes against the wind." ”

"Only by taking a temporary break for a while, and waiting until February of the next year, which is the time of the Spring Festival, now we can start to prepare secretly, mobilize the private army, and wait until the time of the Spring Festival, and give Gu Lan a fatal blow!"

Luo Chen's eyes also showed a ruthless look: "This idea is good, I have wanted to do this for a long time, just spreading rumors to touch Gu Lan is really not enjoyable, only by cutting this kid with a thousand knives can I vent the hatred in my heart!" ”

Immediately, he frowned again and said: "But it is not easy to mobilize a private army, now that the Hanging Heaven Division is densely spread in the capital, I am afraid that it will be difficult not to be discovered if there is a little wind and grass." ”

Wu Fan showed a confident smile: "Commander Luo, don't forget, what General Ben used to do. I used to recruit two private armies, and although one of them is gone, the other can still be called up. ”

"They are not hiding in the capital, but somewhere outside the outskirts of Beijing, with my years of experience in leading troops, even the Hanging Heaven Division has not been able to discover this army."

"General Wu is really powerful! With the help of this army, he will definitely be able to break that Gu Lan's body into thousands of pieces! Luo Chen was pleasantly surprised, he didn't expect Wu Fan to keep a hand.

At this time, he was extremely glad that he and Wu Fan chose to cooperate, otherwise where would there be an army that could help?

"In addition, it is also necessary for Commander Luo to deal with the people of the Ministry of Rites," Wu Fan also smiled when he heard Luo Chen's appreciation, and continued, "The Spring Festival was held in the Tribute Courtyard of the Ministry of Rites, and it is impossible for the private army to surround and kill him near the Ministry of Rites on a large scale, only by relying on the Ministry of Rites as an internal response and learning the news of Gu Lan can he strike accurately." ”

Luo Chen nodded: "Leave this matter to me." ”
