However, Li Xiangjun did not go with him, but went to help him find out the details of several wealthy families.

At this time, Li Sanniang, who lived in Dongcheng, had already sent someone to Xicheng, where Li Yue was located, to secretly protect him.

Even Li Yue didn't know all this, and thought that he was only bringing a dozen personal guards, but in fact, there were nearly 100 people protecting him in secret.

When they arrived at the prefect's yamen, the guards at the gate were doubled, and there were more than 100 officers and soldiers waiting.

Half of them had firecrackers in their hands.

When Li Yue saw this scene, he also knew that Jiangdu City at this time had reached the point where various forces were irreconcilable.

When Zhao Tongju took Li Yue to the backyard of the prefect's yamen, he found that Gu Haiping had already gotten out of bed and greeted him outside the door in person.

Seeing Li Yue's mouthful, Gu Haiping was excited, and strode forward.

It feels like the man in his fifties in front of him doesn't look like he's seriously ill at all, but more like a man who has just woken up and is full of energy.

"Nephew Li Xian, I can be regarded as seeing you, I was a person in the same department as your father, but when I entered Beijing to take the exam, there was an accident in your Li family, otherwise I would definitely be an official in the same dynasty as him."

Gu Haiping said helplessly.

Hearing this, Li Yue was also surprised.

Originally, he didn't have any impression of his cheap father, but the prefect in front of him was actually a classmate of his father.

Although the prefect in front of him is a famous jinshi, and his father is just a man.

But with the current status of the Li family, even if he is a showman, he is much higher than this Jinshi.

"It turns out that Master Gu and my father have known each other for a long time, it's really surprising to me, my little nephew will ask Uncle Gu for peace."

Li Yue said that he was going to give Gu Hai a parallel salute.

Li Yue's movements were very big, but he did it very slowly, and he didn't seem to want to salute the other party at all.

And Gu Haiping could also see Li Yue's actions, so he could only smile reluctantly and hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"No need to do this, it's just red tape, you just need to remember that I have a close relationship with your father, he happened to have an accident at that time, and it happened that I was in the capital, so I didn't have time, otherwise it wouldn't be like this."

Gu Haiping's face full of self-reproach showed a look of regret, as if everything was his responsibility.

Hearing this, Li Yue couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then helped Gu Haiping with a solemn expression, and the two walked towards the main house.

"My father's death is indeed strange, but the matter has been clarified, so there is no need to worry about Uncle Gu."

Li Yue said with a flat face.

Then, after the two entered the room, Zhao Tongjuan also came in with him, and there was another person in the room, who was Chen Lingyue, who had not been seen for a long time.

As soon as she saw Li Yue coming in, Chen Lingyue's face was originally very excited, but at the same time, she was indifferent, as if she didn't want others to see her emotions.

And the same is true for Li Yue.

When he saw Chen Lingyue, he just nodded, and the relationship between the two seemed to be just a bland friendship in the eyes of outsiders.

Gu Haiping looked at the expressions of the two of them, and was a little surprised for a while, but then smiled indifferently and didn't care.

"This Chen girl! I have been a close friend of my little girl for more than ten years, and I have known him since when his father was in the same position in Nandu as me. ”

Gu Haiping pretended to be familiar and said.

Hearing these words, Li Yue didn't care, but Chen Lingyue showed a trace of disgust, and didn't seem to agree with the other party's statement, after all, he was placed under house arrest by Gu Haiping.

"So that's the case, I've been worried about why my sister didn't come back, it turned out to be playful, and it's normal to spend more time with her friends, but there are many things at home, I still hope she can go back with me sooner."

Li Yue looked suddenly realized, and there was a hint of threat when he spoke.

However, Master Gu, who had been the prefect for two terms, didn't care about Li Yue's threatening eyes at all, just stepped forward with a smile on his face, sat in the right position, and slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

"Nephew, I have something I want to ask you, this matter is very important, I don't know if you can answer me sincerely."

Gu Haiping was originally very harmonious (this chapter is not finished!) )

Ami's face immediately became gloomy, as if something big was about to happen.

Hearing the question, Li Yue didn't have any contemplation, just nodded and looked at Gu Haiping very seriously.

It seems that he also understands what the other party wants to know here, and even if he denies it, he can know it clearly.

"Uncle Gu, if there is anything to ask, I will definitely say everything I know."

Li Yue said indifferently.

"Qiu Wansheng has looked for you?"

Gu Hai asked flatly.

Hearing this, Li Yue paused for a moment and thought about it carefully.

I feel that Gu Haiping and Qiu Wansheng should have no conflicts of interest, but at the same time, they feel that something is wrong.

Gu Haiping is obviously a royalist, and although Qiu Wansheng does not belong to the Donglin Hao clan, he is not a good bird.

"Yes, he has some dealings with his nephew, I don't know what Uncle Gu has to say about this?"

Li Yue said with a bewildered expression.

"I want to tell you, you don't have anything to do with him, this person is a strange person in the southern capital and even the entire southeast, he has a close relationship with the Francis, he is not in the company of any big family, and if he is close, it is easy to get into trouble."

Gu Haiping said with a worried expression.

Hearing this, Li Yue naturally knew why Qiu Wansheng would rush to give gifts to him.

Obviously, he can't get along in the realm of Yangzhou, and he needs an external backer, and he is the backer who can make him reliable.

"I understand, but our Li family does have business dealings with the Qiu family in Hangzhou, and I don't have contact with him, and there is still contact between this business."

Li Yue showed a little embarrassed, and Gu Haiping was really entangled after hearing it, and it seemed to be very embarrassed.

"Let me tell you this, the chief helm of the Sanyi Society was slaughtered because of the Qiu family, and a batch of smuggled firearms from the Jiangzhou Chamber of Commerce was hijacked, and the reason is here."

Gu Haiping said with a solemn expression.

Hearing this, Li Yue immediately gasped, and recalled the list of gifts he had gotten, many of which were firearms, and it was very likely that they were lost by the Jiangzhou Chamber of Commerce.

"It turned out to be this matter, I thought it would be something, this matter turned out to be because of the Qiu family, and it couldn't reach my head at all, Uncle Gu, you are too worried."

Li Yue smiled indifferently, as if he didn't care about Gu Pinghai's worries at all.

At the same time, Chen Lingyue on the side was very nervous and hurriedly stepped forward.

"Childe, things are not as simple as you think, I also know a thing or two about Qiu Wansheng, this person seems to be loyal, but in fact, there is something inside."

Chen Lingyue reminded in a low voice.
